Our Blog is a conglomeration of conversations which took place around the breakfast table in one or another Bettina Network home. We cover a wide range of topics.
As members of the Bettina Network Community send us information they would like disseminated to a large audience, or something happens which just strikes our fancy and we want to share it with all of you - it will go immediately to Bettina Network's Blog.
A Great and Healthy Cookie
copyright Marceline Donaldson 2010 I have been experimenting with cookies and wanted to share the recipe and the process that came out of those experiments. The cookie is fantastic. If you have just a little will power you can eat and enjoy only one. If you have no will power, the cookies are gone before…
Stock Market Talk Over Breakfast
copyright 2010 The Bettina Network, inc. I love those stock market conversations. This time, I decided to buy the stock and make a few dollars (hopefully). I hope you forgive me for buying the stock before telling you about it – since I only bought a few shares it certainly hasn’t affected the market. I…
HELP! Google has kidnapped our web-site!
Google is going crazy with its world control. What did I do? I didn’t buy a domain name from Google so they could move my blog, I was happy with the domain-seller and server company with whom I do business. I didn’t want to give up my server company to allow Google to be the…
Grandmother’s Wisdom
copyright 2010 The Bettina Network, inc. We live in a society where there is much discussion about companies – especially banks – which are too big to fail. Is that a deflection away from the fact that actually, we live in a society where a reigning truth is today businesses can be too small to…
An Update on Bread Baking – Bettina Style
copyright 2010 The Bettina Network, inc. We are unbelievably delighted with our bread baking. Finally, after many years, we have mastered the art of freshly baked bread every morning without getting up at 3am. We mastered this art not in the process of trying to accomplish what we thought was an unattainable feat, but in…

Cleaning Furniture the Bettina Way
copyright the Bettina Network, inc. 2010 Several months ago, we received a telephone call from a host family in the Bettina Network whose home is open for bed & breakfast guests. She had an exciting experience cleaning and polishing her furniture. Not many of us get excited over such things these days. It has taken…
A Change to Your Lemon Tea Bread Recipe
