     Gloria's Kitchen: Easy Stuffed Peppers
     http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/1867
     
     Gloria's  Kitchen After a long day at work I wanted to  fix  a
     tasty and satisfying meat dish but didn’t want to spend a  lot
     of  time  doing it. Scouring around in the cupboards I decided
     to  try  mixing  these ingredients together  to  make  stuffed
     peppers. The results were delicious and so very easy. Give  it
     a try – my husband loved it.

     New   technologies   are  changing  the   landscape   of   our
     communications  arena almost daily. With an increasing  number
     and variety of communications entering our homes each day,  it
     can  be  hard for parents and caregivers to monitor,  or  even
     track,   what   children  are  watching  and  hearing.   While
     technology has great potential to teach the nation's children,
     it  also has the power to shape their lives and opinions. This
     FCC  Web  site offers an array of information to help  parents
     deal with, decipher, and monitor the communications that their
     children can access.
