Mark, Rick, or Steve

Picture it. Sicily 2025. We were in the clothing optional area because I prefer that when I can. Asian guy walks up to my husband wearing briefs and asks can he touch it. He says no. Then he asks can I touch his? Speaking of me. I said no. He just walked away to the next couple.

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

The royals have the Epstein files.

Oh they'll come again. Soon too.

I still want to know which gay cousin decides she want worth saving and encouraged her to wear that hair.

When a new location opened up here it clogged traffic on a major NC highway for weeks. At lunch you're still gonna wait 15 minutes at the drive thru. Worth it. So worth it.

Disgusting. But I would definitely watch.

Mamdani is going to implement Cher law. As if!

Recuerdo los cafés con leche en un pequeño café de Las Ramblas en Barcelona.

When my mom passed in 2020 I went thru her cabinets. In the kitchen we tossed out 37 year old spices and some brown sugar from the 90s. There was a bottle of Mercurochrome in the bathroom.

Some day it's gonna happen.

Wow

No. Do not subject yourself to that negativity. There is not too much sour cream.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

My teenage years have just washed over me. This is awesome.

Dozens agree.

I've had my grits kissed.

And the building fell into rubble.

Wasn't pushed. Wasn't knocked over. Inexplicably fell.

I'm not an oatmeal person. I wouldn't know.

The cake takes time. Plan on 2 hours to mix and bake the layers. They have to be cooled completely before frosting. A double boiler keeps frosting from setting in the pot.

It's better that way. The rice gets fried a little with the meat and it gives a different flavor.

For the cake I use a boxed Betty crocker butter yellow. It's better than my aunt's homemade mix. 🤫

The icing

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
Salt
Mix and bring to a boil for one minute stirring constantly

Icing sets quickly. Make no more than 2 batches at a time.

Add a dash of vanilla extract and set aside.

Make the meringue. 1/3 cup of sugar with 6 egg whites. Cream of tartar or lemon juice helps to make stiff peaks.

Pour the chocolate into each pie crust. Add meringue and bake

Cool in fridge before slicing.

Mix the yolks with 4 cups of milk. Pour the liquid into the pot and turn heat on medium. Stir. Stir. Stir. Whisk. Stir. DO NOT WALK AWAY. It will burn. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes thick. This takes about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and add a stick of butter. Stir until melted.

For the chocolate pie go ahead and make 2.

Two pie crusts. Momma never used homemade. She didn't make a good one. Blind bake them as you make the chocolate.

In a medium pot, add 2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 2/3 cup of Hershey cocoa powder and a pinch of salt.

Divide 6 eggs and mix the yolks

Is this because of Mariah?

Homemade chocolate pie

Homemade pie just out of the oven.

I also had my mom show me her chocolate pie recipe years before she passed. It's divine. Meringue topped homemade chocolate on a buttery crust.

Meatball soup. Normally made with rice instead of breadcrumbs but mother in law isn't a rice fan. Spanish inspired. Barcelona

I don't slice. I bake them 1/8 thin. 135 grams of batter in an 8 inch pan. Two in. Two out. The whole process takes about and hour and a half per cake. Then you get to frost them.
