Who Me?? Since I am not into exercising to lose weight, I guess I will have to do some work around the house<br />
<br />
We have a lot of ornamental grasses around our house and while they are easy to take care of all summer long, they become a pain come fall.<br />

I got tired of this job real fast so when we went to the plants out back, I got out the lawn mower and cut them down real quick.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Believe it or not, the lawn mower worked really well. We don't have the rocks around the plants out back so I didn't have to worry about bending my blades on them.</div>

To make the soup, you will need to either blend or juice your tomatoes. <br />
<br />
Put it in a pot and add Basil, Garlic, Onion, Salt and some pepper.<br />
<br />
Boil it down until it is the thickness you like.<br />
<br />
I don't like you add any cream when I am finished but my wife does. Either way, it is great!<br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Salt And Pepper Bagels</span></strong></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5 Pounds Flour</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 1/2 Tablespoons Salt</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5 Tablespoons Black Pepper</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Cups Oil</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 Packages Dry Yeast</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 1/2 Cups Warm Water</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Melt the yeast in the water in a bowl and set aside (you will add this last)</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mix Flour, Salt and black pepper together in a very large bowl.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Add oil and make dough crumbly</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Add yeast and water mixture</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Knead for about 5 minutes (you may need to add more water, I always do)</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You do not have to let this raise, just roll a little dough and make a small bagel like form.</div>

Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 350* for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown</div>
