Man Denied Entry to Guest House

Joe McDonnell, 78 and residing in Palmville Twp, Minnesota, was recently unable to use the front door of his guesthouse. "We have two houses," McDonnell tells the press. "We live in one and put guests up in the other one, which is 137' from the main house. It's been a busy fall and winter for guests, and recently I saw a guest having difficulty closing the front door. I discovered one end of the bottom weather strip had curled down just enough to cause problems. I knew it could be fixed but the door would have to be taken off its hinges to make the repair. We're in the middle of cold snap, so once we got the door fully closed, we blocked the door on the inside with a big plant, and put a sawhorse on the outside. We'll be using the back door until it warms up outside." With the guests gone, McDonnell walks to the guesthouse several times a day to put wood on the fire. "On the bright side, I'm getting an extra 36 steps every trip to the guesthouse by going to the back door," he says.

Man Updates Original Pizza Recipe

Joe McDonnell, 78 and an amateur cook, was recently shocked by the wrongness of a recipe he had written many years ago. "In her later years my mother always served her guests a roast beef dinner,” McDonnell tells reporters. “It was so good that no one complained about getting the same thing every time. Some time ago I decided pizza would be my go-to meal. After ten years of experimentation my pizza was good enough to be included in a family cookbook my wife was putting together. I recently looked over my old recipe and was shocked by how off it was. Everything was slightly wrong - ingredient amounts, times, techniques... It wasn't terrible. A person could make an edible pizza with the recipe, but there would be some head scratching involved. It's too late to do anything about the old family cookbook, but I've written up my current recipe and will send it to anyone who asks." In a follow-up email McDonnell suggests people watch his video on YouTube called Papa Joe's Pizza. "There are hundreds of pizza recipes on YouTube," he says, "many of them by other Papa Joes, so call me and I'll send a link to mine."
