DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Please note:  In 2012, Linda, this group's creator, did a heroic effort and created a cookbook of our recipes that was sold to members as a fund raiser for Molly's Adopt a Sailor Project.  That cookbook is no longer available.   If anyone would like to volunteer to start another cookbook-publishing project, that would be great!

Hey, I tried a recipe today and it was great! Check out page 80 and the heath bar cookies by Beth. there is a variation of it on page 98 called breakaways. thank you Beth for that recipe and with a surprise ingredient! who knew those crackers were so versatile?

And I love the page of microwave tips. I am a good cook, but terrible microwaviner. I've had flames in there.

Love my cookbook. thank you Linda for all of your hard work.

Hey Cookbook ladies, if you are on facebook, would you vote for me in a sewing contest on the J and O fabric site? A vote for me is a vote for the military. In the poll section, I am #R - pillowcases by Sue Lamberson. on page 9 of photos you can see the pcs that were entered. They went the Sept sailors in Guam.
thanks!

Definitely vote for Sue!! We don't want to dilute our Heads at Ease votes. I did not make any of the football pillowcases and I was only helping Sue to upload a picture. Turns out we both did.

Here is the link to vote:

Would you be willing to write these letters? Susan said that 22 ships will be going to Haiti and we are trying to get letters in the hand of each sailor. You can go to the MAS room for the address or contact me.
Thanks and please pass the word! Sue
CALLING ALL MOMS! Here is a chance to let ‘our’ sailors know how much we love and support them! If there is one thing every Navy mom learns during boot camp it is to write a great letter! And you Molly moms practice it each and every month sending love to our deployed!

Will you please write a letter or thank you card to a Sailor aboard the USS Carl Vinson which is conducting humanitarian and disaster relief operations? Our goal is to send over 5,000 thank you cards to Chaplain ‘Fish’ by February 10th! He will distribute the cards and letters we send to the crew on the Vinson and the other Navy ships (the USS Bataan, USS Nassau and USS Comfort headed to provide support to Haiti!

Contact your local schools, scout groups and churches! Collect as many thank you notes and cards and send them along! The best (and most cost effective) way to send them might be a flat rate box offered by the Post Office! Let these sailors know that you are proud of them and say thank you for all they are doing!

For the address of Chaplain ‘Fish’ please contact me with how many cards you have gathered and I will be happy to provide the address! Thank you so much!

When the USS Carl Vinson pulled out of Norfolk January 12th on the way to their new homeport of San Diego they were singing ‘California Dreaming’. That night a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti and their destination changed. The Vinson was one of the first ships able to respond. We have all watched the news and seen the pictures. But can you imagine what it is to be at sea for the first time and called to duty in such an important mission? To feel the 95+ degree heat, experience the cry for help and pain, see the devastation up close?

Many of our sailors are boots on the ground and many more are providing support for them. Those sights and sounds will stay with them forever. The United States Navy has prepared them to do their jobs, and let's face it; we know they are the best of the best.

These sailors are pumping over 3,500 gallons of water a day to deliver to quake victims, launching well over 600 flights of aid and rescue from their deck, providing security and caring for many injured. They have given of themselves… working long hours, catching sleep when they can. Here is our chance to let them know how much we appreciate all they are doing

Linda, I want to order another cookbook but cannot remember where the site is to order it. Go to my page and let me know. I already have three and they're great. Thanks.
Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 18, 2009 at 10:39am
and I can't wait to read it. I read cookbooks like books, every page front to back.
Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on October 18, 2009 at 10:38am
I got my cookbook yesterday and it is beautiful! Thank you Linda for doing such a great job.
Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on October 16, 2009 at 2:06pm
Linda, thanks for the cookbook!
That is quite a task putting that all together.
And I do enjoy it.
Comment by Anita B. (Josh's Mom) on October 14, 2009 at 6:41pm
Hi Linda...Got all three of my cookbooks today...one for me and two for gifts for Christmas. Went thru it while eating lunch and can't wait to get started on some new ideas to fix to eat! Fixing for one gets "old", need some new ideas. Thanks for your work in getting it together!!!!!!!
