Milo the otter is well known on YouTube and you may see him and Tanu holding paws. That is something Milo likes to initiate (awwwww!). If they are out of range, just wait a while and then come back.

Best Ever Chocolate Pudding
There are certain foods that many of us almost NEVER make from scratch...breakfast cereal, crackers, the list goes on. One of those products is pudding. I recently checked my pantry and there were six boxes of Jell-O pudding mix on the shelves. Then I came across this recipe. I've made the powdered stuff for so long, I'd forgotten what the real deal tastes like. There's no comparison! Whip up this delight and see if you don't agree:
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in milk and chocolate. Cook, stirring constantly, until chocolate melts and mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in egg yolks. Return to heat and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Chill before serving.

Just log on and click the name of the movie you're planning on seeing. The site will tell you how many minutes into the feature the break is and how long you have to make it to the bathroom and back.
Wise Words
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
-Bessie Stanley (often attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson)
