About The Original Class Act
In the beginning......
Just like the old movie story - a group of friends got together to “put on a show” for the church fun fair way back in 1992. They presented a program of Cole Porter music. The 3-day gig stretched into many years and many shows as the phone never stops ringing. Everyone wants to book this group for a retirement home, church dinner, women’s club, lodge meeting, holiday party.
Upcoming Shows
Christmas is over, New Year 's is too and now it’s time to think about Valentine’s Day. The Original Class Act has a program that will get the celebration started.

Recipe
Mini Skillet Meatloaves
I told a friend that I had made mini meatloaves that cooked in a skillet not in the oven and she said, “Isn’t that just a hamburger?” Well…technically. But these taste like REAL meatloaf. Not like hamburgers. But they cook as quickly as hamburgers and because they are small if you slice them the pieces fit perfectly in mini slider buns. This recipe makes six. I froze half of them for future use.
Ingredients
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
3 Tbsps. Worcestershire sauce
1 small onion, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 pounds meatloaf mix
Salt and freshly ground pepper (optional)
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbsps. packed light brown sugar
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
How To Make Them
* Put onion, parsley and garlic in a mini chopper and mince them. Then add egg and Worcestershire sauce and continue to blend.
* Mix breadcrumbs, milk and meat with your hands in a large bowl. Then add the minced onion mixture and salt and pepper (if you wish) and continue to combine.
* Allow meat to “rest” 15 minutes, then shape into six 6 ounce oval loaves.
* Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add loaves and brown 3 minutes on each side.
* Whisk ketchup, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and brush some over the meat. Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, cover and simmer over low heat until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Keep heat lows they do not burn.
* Transfer the loaves to a plate. Add the remaining ketchup mixture to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve meatloaves with the thickened sauce.

Cookie Queen Cakes
For your wedding, birthday or any other special event
It is most important that your wedding cake taste good. You want guests leaving your reception to say, “That is the best wedding cake I have ever tasted.” That is why you have chosen THE Cookie Queen to bake the cake for your Special Day. My cakes taste really good. I do not specialize in elaborate decorations.
I specialize in making “one of a kind” cakes. I do not have a portfolio of cake photos because I simply refuse to do any cake design twice. Each cake is unique and is designed for YOU alone. If you have a photo of what you would like your cake to look like, please bring it to our initial consultation or Email it to me (cookiequ@verizon.net) prior to your consultation to save time.
Here is a selection of the most popular Cookie Queen wedding cake ideas:
1. A two-tiered “show” cake with the 10” bottom to be cut at the reception and served at the head table and the 7” top to be frozen for the First Anniversary. Undecorated double-layer sheet cakes are served to the other guests from the kitchen. This way everybody gets icing. There are no center cuts.
2. Filled cupcakes and Weecakes (mini cupcakes) are ideal because your guests can choose their favorite flavor of cake and frosting. I recommend still having a small two-tiered “show” cake to cut at the reception.
3. A selection of 8” or 9” cakes in many different flavors: You can choose the usual chocolate, vanilla, marble or anything else you might want to have: carrot, spice, chocolate-cherry, chocolate- raspberry, German chocolate, rum cream, lemon cream, pineapple cream, peanutbutter-chocolate or a choice of your own. Cakes are on display where guests can select their favorite and cut their own slice.
4. 8” cakes on each table - so the guests can serve themselves at each table. This provides dessert and eliminates the expense of table centerpieces. But - there sometimes is wasted cake with this method. However - any leftover cake can be frozen for use at a later time.
Prices: based on the batter, filling, frosting and number of servings you will need.
Floral Decoration: I will coordinate with your florist and have them design the flowers or I will work with your colors and design the flower decorations myself from either real or silk flowers..
Frosting: I do butter cream or whipped cream only. If you wish a smooth rolled fondant finish, please select another baker. The fondant may look nice but tastes terrible. Also I do not use “white” chocolate. There is no such thing and “white chocolate” has a strange after-taste. (FYI: White chocolate contains no chocolate liquor. It is a mix of cocoa butter, sugar, lecithin, milk solids and vanilla. Chocolate liquor is the brown paste leftover after the cocoa butter has been extracted from the cocoa nibs.)

Support the J6 Prisoners
Song Profits To Help Pay For J6 Prisoner Defense, Families
Can you believe this - two pop songs featuring Donald Trump roared into the No 1 spots on iTunes, Apple music and every other place where music downloads are sold or streamed in just the past week.
The first one — “Justice for All” — released on March 3 - is a musical collaboration between a choir of jailbirds and President Donald Trump. The prisoners sing our “National Anthem” and behind them President Trump recites our Pledge of Allegiance.
It is very moving.
The illegally incarcerated prisoners of the D.C.Gulag who have been in there without charges and without hearings and without bail for the past TWO FEAKIN’ YEARS (in the United States of America!!!!)? sing the National Anthem every night at 9 p.m.
A friend of Trump’s — Kash Patel and Real America’s Voice’s morning show host Ed Henry — who have been working to get the illegally imprisoned people freed — decided to do the recording as a means of raising funds for their defense lawyers. All profits go to their defense or their families who have suffered terribly without bread winners to support children. (In the United States of America where we actually have a Constitution!!!! Brain Dead Biden even took away Veteran benefits from the prisoners!!!!!! (He is just evil evil evil evil evil evil.)
FYI: Some of the PRISONERS did nothing more than walk through open doors of the Capitol and walk out. One guy was in there for less than one minute and when asked to leave by police he did. Proof of this was shown last week when the security tapes from the Jan. 6, 2021 protest were finally released.)
Within one day “Justice For All” raced to the top of pop music charts. ($1.29) on iTunes. Then Patel and Henry released it as a vinyl 45 collector’s item since Trump was our 45th President - $99.
It is now No. 2 because this week another Trump song took its place — “Trump Won” — sung by Christian country musician Natasha Owens. I t rocketed to the top of the charts within 1 hour of its released.
Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have downloaded it. (99 Cents on iTunes).
In the first day it was streamed more than one million times!!!! https://youtu.be/mkA2_nijiyE
I bought it to show my support but I have watched the accompanying video on You Tube maybe 50 times. It’s soooooooo great.
I’m going to play this song on a loop on loud speakers in my front yard all summer long. It’s such a catchy tune too. Great for doing housework. Great for doing exercise routines.
If you want to sing along, here are the lyrics. I hope my group The Original Class Act can learn it soon.
Trump Won and you know it!
Trump Won and you know it!
The fake news will never show it
cuz it's true Trump won and you know it
We got dead people voting,
drop boxes and Dominion
In fact, some facts. It's not just my opinion
The Democrats know how to steal,
Cmon' man here is the deal!
Trump Won and you know it!
Trump Won and you know it!
The fake news will never show it
cuz it's true Trump won and you know it
While Biden's hiding in the basement, babbling away on zoom,
Patriots for stadiums are circles in an empty room.
Twitter and The FBI
One day you won't deny
Trump Won and you know it!
Trump Won and you know it!
The fake news will never show it
cuz it's true Trump won and you know it
The thing about truth time is always gonna tell.
I bet he took New York and carry California as well,
He's done it twice before.
And he's gonna win again for the third time….. in 2024
Trump Won and you know it!
Trump Won and you know it!
Fox News won't even show it It's true
cuz it's true Trump won and you know it
Trump Won and you know it!
Trump Won and you know it!
if there's a line they’re gonna toe it,
it's true Trump won and you know it
I know it, you know it, we know it, they know it,
Everybody knows Trump won (x3)
