3 Page 3 Our Pajama Story Times are becoming more and more popular. This past week we had about 35 in attendance lots in their jammies. We ve got a fun Thanksgiving Pajama Story Time planned for Monday, November 21 st. Martin s Mirth A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn t find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, Do these turkeys get any bigger? The stock boy answered, No ma am, they re dead. Ode to Thanksgiving May your stuffing be tasty May your turkey be plump May your potatoes and gravy Have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious And your pies take the prize, And may your Thanksgiving dinner Stay off your thighs!! Remember: A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

4 Page 4 Crispy Turkey Tostadas Shredded leftover turkey, tops homemade tostadas in this Tex-Mex favorite. Making your own tostada shells from fresh corn tortillas is easier than you might think crisp them up in the oven while you prepare the toppings. Choose either regular petite diced tomatoes or those with added jalapeños, depending on your inclination for spicy food. Serve with black beans, rice and extra salsa or hot sauce on the side. 4 servings, 2 tostadas each Active Time: 35 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes Ingredients 1 14-ounce can petite diced tomatoes, preferably with jalapeños 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 3 cups shredded cooked turkey, or chicken (12 ounces) 8 corn tortillas Canola or olive oil cooking spray 1 avocado, pitted 1/4 cup prepared salsa 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese Preparation 1. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 F. 2. Bring tomatoes and their juice to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken) and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, coat tortillas on both sides with cooking spray. Divide the tortillas between 2 large baking sheets. Bake, turning once, until crisped and lightly brown, about 10 minutes. 4. Mash avocado in a bowl. Stir in salsa, sour cream and cilantro until combined. 5. To assemble tostadas, spread each crisped tortilla with some of the avocado mixture. Top with the turkey (or chicken) mixture, lettuce and cheese. Don t let the flu bug get you down be smart and get vaccinated against the flu!!!

5 Page 5 I Ate Too Much Turkey I ate too much turkey, I ate too much corn, I ate too much pudding and pie, I'm stuffed up with muffins and much too much stuffin', I'm probably going to die. I piled up my plate and I ate and I ate, but I wish I had known when to stop, for I'm so crammed with yams, sauces, gravies, and jams that my buttons are starting to pop. I'm full of tomatoes and french fried potatoes, my stomach is swollen and sore, but there's still some dessert, so I guess it won't hurt if I eat just a little bit more. 1 2 Let s have some fun!!! Write a fun caption for the above two pictures and send it to Ronie in Personnel. We will chose some of the best and put them in next month s news letter. Can you think of something fun?????
