First of all, if you don't have a problem with salt intake, try marinading your turkey in Williams-Sonoma Turkey Brine overnight before stuffing your turkey. This ensures a moist, succulent turkey for your holiday table. Follow the directions on the jar.
Most cookbooks these days suggest that you cook the dressing in a separate container for health reasons, but that is up to your discretion.
Enjoy!

Great news for consumers and the housing market recovery!
November 4, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to extend the home buyer tax credit formerly available only to first-time home buyers. As of today, the federal tax credit will be extended to April 30, 2010, with a 60-day extension available if a binding contract is in place prior to the deadline.
This tax credit is now available to existing homeowners also with a few caveats. Existing homeowners will be eligible for a reduced credit of up to $6,500 as compared to a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers. In addition, existing homeowners must have lived at their current residence for at least 5 years.
This bill also increased the qualifying income limits from $75,000 for single tax filers and $150,000 for joint filers to $125,000 and $225,000 respectively. In both instances, the price of the home is capped at $800,000.
Taxpayers can claim this home purchase credit on their 2009 tax returns, but as always, please consult with your tax preparer or CPA for professional advice.
Home buyers do not have to pay back the credit as long as the home remains their primary residence for 36 months.

Thanks to the University of Kansas Hospital Department of Nursing for the following simple ways to prevent catching the flu. This makes sense...
Prevent Swine Flu - Good Advice-
From: The University of Kansas Hospital Dept. of Nursing Units 43 & 51
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps can be practiced
1. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water or Listerine. *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive, and powerful preventative method.
2. Blow the nose hard once a day and swab both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water. This is very effective in bringing down viral population.
3. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamins C and D. If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
4. Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
I suggest you pass this on. You never know who might pay attention to it -- and STAY ALIVE because of it.

The first Pioneer Day Parade in Paso Robles happened in 1931 at a time when bank failures were at an all-time high. Sound familiar? This event is held each year so Paso Roblans can celebrate their history and the pioneers who built our quaint city.
At 7:00 am in the park, the volunteers start cooking huge pots of beans. The parade starts at 10:00 am, and that is followed by the bean feed at noon. This event has always been free; even the bean feed. Most downtown businesses close until after the parade so employees can celebrate with their families and friends.
This year's parade featured community floats, marching bands, wagons, horse & mule teams, antique tractors and equestrian groups.

In general, in order for a lender to consider allowing a short sale for a home owner, there must be a hardship.
Any one of these circumstances - or a combination of them -- might constitute a legitimate hardship in a lender's eyes:
When you decide to pursue a short sale, one of the first things your REALTOR(R) will request from you will be a hardship letter addressed to your lender, because most lenders will require it. The hardship letter should explain which of the hardships listed above caused you to fall behind on your payments, and you must be able to prove it so be sure to present the facts clearly and honestly.

"We could not have been luckier having Sherry Cox as our realtor. Her knowlege of the real estate process, especially in this 'bank owned' market, served us well. She was always 'there' for us, and never made us feel pressured. We highly recommend her to any one and will certainly go through her for any future transactions."
Cliff & Cyndi Skinner, King City
"Sherry, As you can imagine we've been busy and tired but we are thrilled to be in the house. We've placed most of the furniture and now shopping for odds and ends that we need. Anyhow, wanted to thank you for all your hard work, infinite patience with the at time painful process, and for being so sweet and supportive in this process."
"We couldn't have done it without you. Certainly, this particular house, which turned out to be the most ideal of the slew of places we saw over the past few months … we owe to you and your efforts in canvassing the neighborhood with the customer flyers. Thank you for everything and also for the basket (the turtle chocolates are to die for), the champagne and of course the gift card to Artisan. We're out and about during the day running a zillion errands, but please call if you ever want to stop by. We'd love to see you."
