Have leftovers from Sunday's dinner from the YW?

This recipe might be good if people have pulled pork, sauce, and lettuce leftover from the YW fundraiser. I took it from AllRecipes.com but have tweaked it for our family.

Coughing Lessons

Something else to post to the blog.  Thanks!
 
Rachel
Although this is a very funny video, the lesson they are trying to teach is real.  My co-worker's son's entire school was made to watch this and students are encouraged to start coughing that way.  Many of you may have noticed my brother sneeze this way at church and thought it was a little odd (I think it's kind of gross), but it appears that he's been pretty smart all along.  Click below to watch the video.
