It's World Television Day and I plan to spend the day watching something on television. It may be a DVD since good shows are so lacking anymore. </p><p>I just finished watching Man With a Plan on Netflix. I was sad when there was no next episode. The family portrayed was so relatable and the actors were great. I especially love the actors playing the two main characters - Matt LeBlanc and Liza Snyder. There are sexual references and I wouldn't watch it with children unless you're ready to explain some things but it's a good G-PG grown-up sitcom. I think there's an occasional bad word but there must not be many and not very bad since I can't remember. There are no nude or sex scenes, no ugly fighting, just funny even in the serious. It's normal family life in a family that loves each other. After some google searching, I discovered that the network canceled the show. Of course they did because it was actually worth watching! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYf5O2Fbl3r3yObzCHO6p0j8MUMmm-oyiO-qDZofRN5kH5FTO0Y65ccP0jkmJiAoVR04s4Z0Sa1GAIxg0VlzfG72S1iPhfqzq6c-fW6t2uisaKpNF1PnHp0rsBJ_QRCVPIkjZYX0TbR84/s840/Man+With+a+Plan.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="473" data-original-width="840" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYf5O2Fbl3r3yObzCHO6p0j8MUMmm-oyiO-qDZofRN5kH5FTO0Y65ccP0jkmJiAoVR04s4Z0Sa1GAIxg0VlzfG72S1iPhfqzq6c-fW6t2uisaKpNF1PnHp0rsBJ_QRCVPIkjZYX0TbR84/s320/Man+With+a+Plan.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12646447445810532450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047812106947717977.post-11709535055051509802020-11-20T07:00:00.001-05:002020-11-20T07:00:07.352-05:00It's National Peanut Butter Fudge Day<p>I made peanut butter fudge for today. I used Create Kids Club's recipe for <a href="https://www.createkidsclub.com/easy-peanut-butter-fudge-recipe/" target="_blank">Sweetened Condensed Milk Peanut Butter Fudge</a>. I tried to put wax paper in my container for easy fudge removal but the wax paper kept tearing and wouldn't cooperate so I sprayed my container with cooking spray and am hoping for the best. (I haven't had any yet.) I also mixed the peanut butter mixture in with the melted chocolate chip mixture instead of getting frustrated trying to spread it on top.

Most are hard-working, loving parents who deserve a thank you. Do something nice for the moms and dads you know. </p><p>That fits in well with <b>World Kindness Day</b> too.</p><p>It's also Actor's Day and <b>Whoopie Goldberg's birthday</b>. Time to watch Sister Act and Sister Act 2. How about Corrina, Corrina? One of my favorite Whoopie movies is Jumpin' Jack Flash but I have to watch it on commercial TV so it bleeps out most of the bad language. I enjoyed her role as Guinan in Star Trek Next Generation too. You might even be able to find some station playing Call Me Claus.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOvNmMd10ljY66123NpLbcYswlN7b5GA0aN4dQpL6OLRgzloWYE1mIUv2hpf4154chKggzC2G-NqKvIScU-Uzjp7RjQYcwgIxfSzLDKac0jhqeE8J5ii-P0E7ygYXrCg75fyqBUmGG7WQ/s300/Whoopie.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOvNmMd10ljY66123NpLbcYswlN7b5GA0aN4dQpL6OLRgzloWYE1mIUv2hpf4154chKggzC2G-NqKvIScU-Uzjp7RjQYcwgIxfSzLDKac0jhqeE8J5ii-P0E7ygYXrCg75fyqBUmGG7WQ/s0/Whoopie.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12646447445810532450noreply@blogger.com0
