Trying to use winter CSA produce. Made quiche, pickled beets, roasted vegetables, and have a good start on Helen Go’s potato, rosemary and garlic focaccia - although I am going to sub sweet potatoes for red. Also made a honey sesame cake and a 7 layer dip.

Also make sure they, and you, get boosters. Immunity is not always permanent and virus strains change.

Sums up my opinion of my DEM rep pretty well - just needs a category for “STUPID”

I will never forget telling Gov Abbott during one of his campaigns that I was glad my daughter decided not to go to college in TX because they allowed open carry on campus and my parents were at UT Austin during the bell tower shooting. He actually argued with me.

Should have done it a long time ago.

When the decisions were originally made in both cases, the FBI and DOJ existed and were thought to care about law enforcement - but it is very clear that even 15-20 years ago, neither cared about old men raping underage girls.

FBI response sounded exactly the same as their response to the gymnasts who were being abused which is so sad and disappointing.

Wow - Lennie is envious. He loves fried eggs.

When my kids were in college, I would browse through the used bookstores in Champaign and Iowa City when I visited them - bought a book from the 1930s once about the decline of small towns.

Happy Lovies Days Syvie! Hope you got a treat. Gail and Lennie got a ride in the car to get pup cups.

Looks amazing

I think the acronym is just Illinois but they have them in other states. They look like a Driver’s License and people tend to keep them up to date - more so than their vehicle registrations or even their driver’s licenses.

The only people I have seen who have two are FOID card holders and people who carry around their car insurance card or vehicle registration.

It is absolutely because of Bernie Sanders. In addition to selling unicorns - he has actively sabotaged some real reforms.

It is important for people to realize that most people don’t have 2 forms of ID in their wallet that include both their full name and their address (this is harder if both have to match exactly). Also the SAVE Act makes most of that ID unsuitable for voting.

They have tried but also House Dems know it is DOA in the Senate.

You mean Bernie Sanders has programmed them while never once proposing a viable plan to get there.

This weekend’s quiche is sautéed onion and kolrabi with ham, sharp cheddar and an adobo spice blend.

I will have to try this tomorrow - I think I still have some Michigan evercrisp apples left which would be delicious in this. Unfortunately, Gail and Lennie do not eat apples to they will not be able to help cover up my incompetent apple slicing.

I have both a liberal arts degree and an engineering degree - so when I see that photo or metaphor, I think of Paul Eluard’s 1929 poem that starts with the line: “La terre est bleue comme une orange” and marvel at human imagination and creativity.

While being shocked by the recipes in a 100 year old fundraising cookbook from that same church because they have no real knowledge of history or food culture.

These people all need to read some books about American food ways - recipes for tacos and enchilada casseroles were being published in community cookbooks in places like Highland Park IL in the early 20th century when pizza was still exotic.

He is working very hard a disenfranchising a lot of GOP and MAGA voters.

They are beautiful but the most underrated part of the collection is the Japanese woodcuts - they rotate 2-3 times a year. Incredible workmanship and timeless images.

I am sure that the merch will sell well.

Since you have done research in history for 40+ years - should be pretty easy for you to find.

You already said you don’t care in your previous response so I would clearly be wasting my time.

CISA is part of DHS and has a specific role in election security.
