BOGNOR REGIS INTERNATIONAL BIRDMAN COMPETITION FROM ENGLAND!

    The Bognor Birdman event first started on the South coast of Britain in Selsey in 1971, where a prize was given for anyone who could fly the grand distance of 50 yards. Nobody managed it! After a few years the event started to attract quite a crowd and in 1978 the term Bognor Birdman was coined when the event moved to its present location in Bognor Regis. Why Bognor Regis is open to debate - perhaps it was some forward thinking person at the local council - perhaps it's because the sea has a strong incoming tide to help bring people back to the beach, perhaps it is because one of the original competitors came from Bognor, it certainly isn't because it is an easy place to get to.

Both if you have them brush to apply glue solution pencil/pen ruler, or other rigid straight edge Select a page that you want to be the first one cut out, and save that page to be cut out at the end. (I'll explain later) Even if you don't want to save any pages at the beginning of the b

LEMON POUND CAKE!

   This was found at www.plainchicken.com .  One of my favorite dessert foods.  Nothing like plaine lemon pound cake and an ice cold glass of milk! Lemon Pound Cake   This recipe is from the Ritz Carlton Cooking School I went to back in August. I've been working my way through some of my favorite dishes at home, and this lemon pound cake was the first recipe I attempted. I loved the cake when we had it at cooking school, and I wanted to share it with Chicken Legs. The cake turned out fantastic! It tasted just like it did at cooking school. It had a great lemon flavor without being overwhelming. This is going to be my "go-to" pound cake from now on. We served it with a big scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream.
