Cartoon Maddie brings up a good point. Why doesn't Billy Crystal host the Oscar's anymore? Oh, it's not that we have anything against Hugh Jackman. He did an okay job, it's just that we really like Billy Crystal and always looked forward to his annual "Oscar, Oscar" opening number. In honor of Oscar night, I gave Bob the assignment of choosing his top ten favorite Best Picture winners. I was surprised to see that Forrest Gump has surpassed Patton on his list, and also surprised that he didn't mention In the Heat of the Night, since that picture was filmed in his home town of Sparta, and he got to watch some of the filming, plus his friend, Dog Frailey's dad's backhoe appears in the movie. Here's his top list:

10. The Bridge Over the River Kwai

9. Lawrence of Arabia

8. Platoon

7. Crash

6. Schindler's List

5. Casablanca

4. Gone With the Wind

3. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

2. Patton

1. Forrest Gump

Here's my list:

10. Rebecca

9. Crash

8. The Sound of Music

7. The Best Years of Our Lives

6. Gone With the Wind

5. The Sting

4. Forrest Gump

3. Driving Miss Daisy

2. Schindler's List

1. Casablanca

What's the Good Word? The good word this week is carcass. Carcass can mean The human body, living or dead: scornful or humorous usage, as in "Bob did not drag his sorry carcass home from Wisconsin until midnight Saturday night." (Oops, forget you read that) It can also mean: The dead body of an animal - as in "Let's boil that turkey carcass and make some soup." or - "Bonnie the Barbarian has been dragging small pieces of an animal carcass into Brent and Lindsey's house." She's finding little bones and organs in their sandbox and bringing them right inside. Brent and Lindsey suspect this must be the handiwork of neighbor kitties, Einstein, Bob Buttons and Crazy Cat. Bonnie has also been bringing in chunks of dried pooh as well.

From the Archives: Since we're talking about the Oscars, how about a photo of Oscar winner, Clint Eastwood, taken in 1982 at Pebble Beach. He was very cordial, even though he was really struggling on this hole.

Recipe of the Week: These are really yummy, so good that I've made them two Sunday afternoons in a row. Hope you enjoy them too.

Melt in Your Mouth Yeast Rolls

1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup warm milk

3 eggs, slightly beaten

1/2 cup butter (no margarine) softened
