Sometimes stating the obvious in a statement, is a more accurate approach.

#France #President β€˜Macron makes formal statement about #US-Israel led #war against #Iran reportedly to reduce nuclear capacity.

A pack of mild Spanish chorizo

A pack of mild Spanish chorizo

The biggest mistake I made in staying on my healthy path last week was in not having a batch of soup in the fridge. Boy, it makes a big difference when life gets complicated and you need a weeknight dinner.

So, I’m back on my Sunday Soupmaking bullshit.

Let’s go!

Today, it’ll be chorizo.

Researchers praise β€˜stunning’ results of new prostate cancer treatment Early trials of the drug VIR-5500 showed it shrinking tumours in some patients

I have this cancer in remission (nearly 20 years now). I'm convinced the only reason I'm still alive is because I was (for a neuro knock-on catastrophe) treated with immunoglobulin donated by strangers. Their antibodies taught mine, got me out of a wheelchair.

Salsa verde is so easy to make. You toss β€œ in canola or avocado oil, broil until charring, turn, char some more.

Let cool. Throw in a blender, add salt. Blend until smooth. Taste. Add white vinegar or lime juice to taste. Salt if it needs. More chili if it’s lacking heat. Blend again. Voila. 🍜🍽️

Just do a raised garden bed if you want. You'll end up with one anyhow, trying to amend the clay. Make sure there is drainage - a wee ditch full of gravel leading to a larger, deeper area full of gravel. A layer of fabric and dirt over that, some grass, and voila, mini french drain!

We raised the level of the garden, bit by bit. Beds for planting are formed freehand, about 8" above paths. Beds are 2 foot wide, paths are about 1 foot wide. Paths act as drainage, all sloped to an end channel that leads out to a few fruit trees in the yard. Lots of peat moss, manure, compost >>

Trump unilaterally imposed *obviously illegal & unconstitutional* $175 billion in taxes, and it took Republican Supreme Court 10.5 months to rule against them, undermining so much business & economic activity, trust in US, and our long-term growth & security: what a failure of our institutions.

Prime Minister Carney on Marco Rubio's Munich speech (French): "Mr. Rubio has spoken, and the American administration from time to time talks about, Christian nationalism ... It is not Canadian nationalism. Canadian nationalism is civic nationalism."

It was interesting to hear the response to Paul Wells' question about the QuΓ©bec City speech: basically, we are an inclusive country.

I'll be watching this one again.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
