Lately, I have been craving Coconut Custard Pie.

It’s a favorite of mine.

My childhood was totally devoid of Coconut Custard Pie. In fact, I didn’t even know it existed until I went to college, where I discovered it at a diner nearby.

I realize that this is not very big favorite with most people. It doesn’t even merit a mention in the ‘Most Favorite Pie’ category.

But that’s okay…I love pie. Pie makes me smile. It would be hard for me to pick just one that is my ‘favorite’. But I will ask you a very tough question…

What is your favorite kind of Pie?

Thank you for asking.

Marica

Favorite pie…………..Chess Pie!!!!! Sugar, Butter, Yum……….And My Mommas Derby Pie! which is Pecan Pie with Bourbon and chocolate chops!
She had huge Derby Parties and we started making and freezing them in February! 300 pies every year!

mollypitcher5

CHESS PIE …the BEST ever!
If we ever have a meet up..chess pie has to be there!

Marica

You got it Mollie!!!! (high five)!!!

trumpismine

Agree wholeheartedly about mom’s pies. Your momma and mine had something in common, Mom would bake all day when we were kids and there would be pies every where in the kitchen. The aroma was intoxicating!
I liked all the pies but her apple was too good!

i love apple and so does hubby–but he prefers a crumb topping and i prefer mine with a double crust…how ’bout you?

trumpismine

Dear wife makes an upside down apple pie….

boy that looks interesting!

creme brulee😋

Ddanna

I love Derby pie also — it was a staple at any food event when I lived in KY. My all-time favorite though is Coconut Cream!!

Teagan

Those are my choices, too…but the pecan pie has to be loaded with the nuts, not just tokens.
Growing up in the PNW, we never heard of Key Lime Pie but I certainly learned to love it after being introduced when in Florida. Lemon meringue was always a special treat because it was the only one with a wonderful candy-like topping.
But, surrounded by fruit orchards and berry fields, our specialties were every type of fruit combination you can think of including the delicious rhubarb and strawberry pie/cobbler. There was a time I would make a dozen fruit pies at a time and out them in the freezer, unbaked, to be used throughout the winter. I had a marble counter just for making pie crusts.
Heck, I’ve decided there’s almost no pie I do not like, including the real, old-fashion minced meat (after all, deer season was a way of life there.)
BUT…a huge caveat with pies is the CRUST! It has to be thick, flaky and tasty to compliment the filling, no matter what it is. A good pie crust is magic!
Thanks for the memories, Wheatie! Ahh, longing for the days when weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc weren’t such guilt trips! LOL

Teagan

Just don’t overwork the dough….although there are many ways to make pie crust, the one I found to be the best for me was the “cold” variety…thus the marble work top…starting with cold ingredients and.handling the dough as little as possible. That’s what makes it “flaky” and melts in your mouth.
Wheatie…know lots of readers and posters will scroll right by these shared memories because they are more interested in the hearings, etc…but it’s been a delightful break and I thank you for the respite.

Deplorable Patriot

I’m and apple fan myself, crumb topping, but have to avoid it like the plague since going gluten free. 🙁

Rodney Short

Chocolate pie with flour crust not that gram cracker stuff.
My Granny was a pie Baker but she always had Gramps go out to the Amish to get chocolate pie.
Love the big tree in the header Wheatie, I live amongst the giant redwoods.

phoenixrising37

Amish Chocolate! lovely, and yes, definitely with the flour crust.
The giant redwoods! How grand that must be… my woods are all pine and scrub oak, here in Sand Hills of Carolina

Rodney Short

Carolina is beautiful.
Night and God bless Phoenix

phoenixrising37

Night and God Bless you Rodney…

patfrederick

have you ever had Amish Shoofly pie? wonderful with molasses and a crumb topping…

Rodney Short

Yes I have but it was over 40 years ago, I think Shisler`s Cheese House might offer Amish made Shoofly pie in their online site.

patfrederick

if you were close enough, I would make you one fresh! they are so good!!!

Rodney Short

I just tipped my head back and clicked my heels 3 times and for some reason I am still in California.

patfrederick

and for THAT reason…you deserve so much more than just a pie!

Rodney Short

God bless you.

rayzorbak

Agree 100%… Chocolate!
Funny thing about the filling….
Put it in a Pie crust……you get chocolate PIE.
Put it in a bowl…… Chocolate PUDDING.
Pour it over biscuits……. Viola!… Chocolate GRAVY.
It’s a thing in the south 🙂

Rodney Short

Chocolate gravy is the best hangover remedy ever, I make mine with butter,flour,milk and Hershey’s Coco.

rayzorbak

Jello pudding mix works fine 🙂

Harry Lime

New Haven style. This little beauty is from Modern Apizza.

Harry Lime

Oops…so sorry. I left that Pee Wee video in my copy&paste. That obviously isn’t a little beaty…

Harry Lime

That’s better. Mmmmmm….New Have style pie is the best!comment image

There is a franchise called “Mod Pizza” around here where you can build your own for a fixed price (which is just less than $10). There are tradeoffs, but it’s not much more than a burger.
My usual build is:
Standard Mod size (11″)
1 + 1/2 ladles red sauce
LIGHT (each bite [about 2″ x 2″) should have 0, 1, or 2 of, about 1/3 of each)
Basil
Garlic
Asiago
Regular amount of mozzarella cheese (1 scoop)
PAVE that bad boy with pepperoni (no overlap, just touching)
Three slices of salami
Regular amount of spicy sausage
LIGHT black olives
COOKED, then finished with
LIGHT pesto drizzle.
It never gets old because each bite can be different.

Teagan

Don’t know if it was just a local thing, but as a teenager going out for pizza with family, our favorite was one called fireside pizza. I haven’t seen it in pizza places since but it’s how I prepare ours at home.
Now you have to remember, this was in Oregon several decades ago where “real” Italian food was quite a new experience…so the NE true and tried Italian food critics here might turn up their noses at a “fireside.” But, as we used to say…don’t knock it until you try it.” LOL
SIMPLY… after your hot, bubbling pizza pie comes out of the oven you put a layer of very cold, thinly sliced fresh tomatoes on top. Biting through the cold tomatoes into the hot toppings and cheese is “magnifico.” (Kissing my fingers and throwing them up!). Even my Italian husband likes this very much…however, I do have to carefully keep the black olives on my portion, only!

cthulhu

I grew up in edge country, where you could drive two miles out of town and point to a distance where there wouldn’t be a soul for 400 miles.
But we had our Chi-chi’s pizza — https://www.chichispizza.com/locations .
Chi-chi’s was radically different from most pizza. It was sliced in strips. The cheese was different [ Insert Queen song lyric: “You call me sweet like I’m some kind of cheese.” —

]. It wasn’t NY style, it wasn’t Chicago style, it wasn’t generic US style, it wasn’t Neapolitan style. But it was tasty.
And I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

Katie

You had me at Basil. Sluuuuurrrrpp.

I love Coconut Creme pie… I think that is my favoritestcomment image

michaelh

Oh man… buttermilk pie… that has to be my favorite
http://curvymamapies.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/IMG_14461.jpg

jamcooker

That was my sis-in-laws favorite pie. She would request that on her birthday instead of cake! At her funeral, I brought one (pies were brought it), and found out from her sisters that it was a family favorite. They were very appreciative that I had done that.

michaelh

It’s surprising how many people I’ve known that had happy memories of buttermilk pie – considering that we so rarely see it anymore. My wife made it one year at Thanksgiving using the recipe I got from my great aunt, my father in law doesn’t say much but he sure enjoyed that pie!

jamcooker

I’d never eaten it before that time, but I had known that it was her favorite pie. It’s kind of a delicately flavored pie.

michaelh

For you Wheatie – >
~ ~ ~
Buttermilk Pie
Edna Dyer, Ardmore OK
1/2 c. butter
1 c. buttermilk (powdered works well too)
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix flour and sugar. Add melted butter; blend. Beat eggs slightly. Add buttermilk and vanilla. Beat well. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake 45 minutes at 300F.
(Oven time/temp may need tweaking. Should have a golden brown surface.)
~ ~ ~

zorrorides

I’m a friend of Zorro’s, just dropped in.. I don’t know Edna D but I have been in Ardmore OK many times. Please tell old Z that a friend came by, copied the buttermilk pie recipe.

michaelh

Zorro is a stealthy character, achieves his goals in the dark of night while no one is watching…
Zorro would totally steal a buttermilk pie recipe 😛

OW21

Wheatie – we have a local restaurant here that makes Buttermilk pie, and believe me, it is delicious. Do you want the recipe?

OW21

They serve it here with a fresh raspberry jam and a little whipped cream. It’s so yum!

Marica

It’s very Southern–Buttermilk pie…and Delicious!!!!
Wheatie—Please tell Michael to stop with the pics! I’m getting super hungry!😜🤣🤣
Waving to Michael!!!!! I actually ALWAYS LOVE yer PICS!!!!!💖💖💖

Teagan

Love that one, too…and so easy to make, Michael. Perhaps these days I make it the most often.

You’ve got that right!!!

Marica

Funny story about PB Pie…Middle Son worked at a restaurant that made homemade PB Pies..And if there was any leftovers–he would bring them home to us. Hubby is a builder and had a crazy gutter/siding guy who called us at the last minute to go to a Kenny Chesney concert–had tickets for all of us! We forgot to say anything to middle kid….Well–A LIMO picked up a family of 4 and we went and had a great time…
Meanwhile…Back at Mommas…Middle son came home with PB Pie for all!!!! But…We were NOT there…and ALL our cars ………..were! poor kid went through the entire house wielding a knife!
(hmmmm no wonder he rarely comes home)

jamcooker

I think you have a lot of favorite pies!!! LOL!!!

Deplorable Patriot

My grandmother was a coconut cream pie fan. And, you know, I don’t ever remember having it until she was gone. I think I was in Memphis the first time I had it.

Very interesting GIF to drop on here.
Disney had a series of cartoons roughly in the 30s called “Silly Symphonies” in which he advanced the art of animation, bit by bit, by having each expression of a technical advancement finance the next technical advance. In this series, Disney produced “The Skeleton Dance” in 1929 [

] — and my first thought was that this GIF was an excerpt. But I couldn’t find the specific actions and….quite telling….the background to the Disney work is always substantially simpler.
Looking through other skeleton animations, I found “Skeleton Frolic” of 1937 —

— which was much closer. Where Disney liked to have specific bones in the feet of their skeletons, Columbia had them dancing in slippers. Where Disney had a pronounced difference in size between the cranium and jaws of their skeletons, Columbia melded them into a construct that looked more like the mask of a skeleton. Where Disney had more realistic depictions of knee joints, Columbia just had two balls where the legs bend. But the backgrounds were very much more evocative in the Columbia version.
This is particularly amusing because the Disney cartoon was “drawn by” a guy with a very distinctive name: Ub Iwerks. Oddly enough, the Columbia cartoon was “directed by”……..Ub Iwerks. What could have happened between 1929 and 1937? Oh, yeah, The Great Depression.
Well, this meant that people trying to run and grow a business were under a great deal of stress, as were the people who worked for such businesses…..in 1930, Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks had a major falling-out. Mind you, Ub had been with Disney from the beginning in Missouri and had come to California with him. Ub was the guy who designed both Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ub_Iwerks — but these were stressful times.
If you want to skip to the end…..Ub rejoined Disney in 1940. While away, he helped Chuck Jones get his start in the animation business and advanced Robert Clampett’s career.
So, I’m thinking this GIF was from Ub Iwerks between 1930 and 1940, but not part of “Skeleton Frolic” from 1937.

cthulhu

As another little aside — the early Disney crew were a bunch of technology nuts and racked-up a bunch of patents. Several of them had personal miniature steam locomotives, which require a certain level of precision manufacture and maintenance and deep understanding to run.
Two outstanding inventions were the multiplane animation camera and the omnimover.
If you watch cheap Hanna-Barbera cartoons, you’ll frequently see a character making the same set of motions repetitively while a background scrolls behind him. That’s the way things started. The characters are drawn on “cels” (originally made of celluloid), and merely laid on a painted backdrop. Snap a frame, change the cell, move the backdrop; snap a frame, change the cell, move the backdrop; snap a frame, change the cell, move the backdrop…..
In Disney feature films from the same era, you’ll see much more sophisticated “motion”. There will be things moving in the foreground; there will be things moving in the background; the camera will zoom in closer and dodge an obstacle, after which more backdrop will be revealed. This is done with a two-story high device where the camera can be positioned nearly twenty feet from the main character animation layer….or lowered to within inches. Each layer can be raised, lowered, lit differently, or have its cels or background moved independently of all the others. The reason that Disney animation was so far above all others was not just imagination and storytelling, but because Disney had a bunch of jackleg machinists on staff.
The omnimover ride system is another machinist’s wonder. If you ever ride the Haunted Mansion at any theme park, you are enclosed in a shell that rotates, tilts, and rocks backwards and forwards throughout the ride. That’s because there is a system of tracks with mechanical arms that extends as far below the base of the ride as the shell extends above. A simplified version is seen in their patent —

Besides the obvious (it’s just like The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure), the same ride system is used in Buzz Lightyear and Roger Rabbit — just less constrained.

Deplorable Patriot

The Skeleton Dance was one of the videos that brought my one nephew out of his shell at the age of five. We used to watch it over and over again.

Sylvia Avery

Wheatie,
Cozy tree! And PIE! What a fabulous idea…….like michael, I have a hard time deciding. I eat pie maybe once a year, if that, so these are memories but oh what sweet memories! Pumpkin pie, coconut cream pie, my moms/aunt’s/grandma’s apple pie, pecan pie, blackberry pie, cherry pie, lemon meringue………..yeah, I’ll just have a slice of each!!!!! Lol………………..
Thanks for the happy memories!

Sylvia Avery

The world would be a better place with regular pie and coffee breaks!

OW21

Sylvia – totally agree! I love pie for breakfast! Why not – right? If you are going to eat it, eat it early in the day so you have a chance to burn those calories off!

Sylvia Avery

Yes! What a way to start the day! Beats oatmeal all to pieces!

OW21

You’ve got that right! My Dad always used to give me the “crow eye” when he saw me do this, but I think he was just jealous and wanted my pie!

Sylvia Avery

Ha ha, same here! How funny!

Teagan

OW21..even pizza pie for breakfast for me!

OW21

Oh, yeah!!!

Harry Lime

Rhubarb didn’t even make the list. I have fond memories of Rhubarb…although I haven’t had one in years.

Aubergine

I have a really great strawberry-rhubarb pie recipe. My nine-year-old grandson made it for the county fair this year, and won Reserve Grand Champion!
The “secret ingredient?” A teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. In anything made with rhubarb.

Teagan

Secret ingredient…balsamic vinegar. …heck, growing up In rural Oregon we didn’t have a clue what balsamic vinegar was! LOL I’ll tuck that prize-winning tip in my memory bank, Aubergine.
How wonderful your grandson is so interested. My county fair entries at that age were always muffins….I don’t even know why.
Now, living in the Eastern part of the country, you are fortunate to find some little (expensive!) bundles of fresh rhubarb very, very occasionally in the grocery department.

Aubergine

When I bought my house after getting divorced, I inherited a rhubarb plant that is probably 75 years old or older. The house was built in 1893. I had never had ANYTHING made with rhubarb that I liked, at all! But it was free food, and my Scottish ancestry would not allow me to waste it! In my search for some way to make rhubarb palatable I found a tip to use vinegar in a very old cookbook. The only vinegar I had on hand was balsamic, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Gudthots

PERFECT!

michaelh

That is brilliant! I love good balsamic vinegar.

Hey Wheats,
Do I have a responsibility on the Sunday thread to fish people out of the ever-voracious bin?
If so, I don’t know how to do that.
Also, fairly shortly after midnight eastern time, I’m compelled to hit the rack for a few hours. I can normally be up and on the QTree for a very good portion of the day up to midnight eastern.
If I’m to help with the bin, would you give me the secret key to the bin locker . . . or is that Wolf’s function?
Thanks.

bakocarl

Thanks. I’ve made the Sunday post . . . and I’ve scheduled it to publish as 2 minutes past midnight tomorrow.
I tried your instructions and see a comment by realgaryseven in the bin right now. Can you scroll down through what’s in the bin? I can’t seem to scroll down?

bakocarl

When I click on a comment in the comment section of the editor screen, I get “Oops! You don’t have permission to manage comments. If you think you should, contact this site’s administrator.” So, maybe there’s a hangup there??? Or maybe I have to wait to access my own thread after I publish?

bakocarl

Thanks. I guess I gots me some larnin’ to do after I post!

It gives me abundant daily strength and peace
to constantly stay in touch with our Lord.
Surrounded by evil, we make our way
Looking for some peace, amongst all the fray
Searching for joy, too; looking for a smile
But not finding much but troubles and trials
So we fill our days with worry and fret
We can’t get ahead, we’re too deep in debt
Our pols are corrupt, the media lies
Honor has left us, but not schemes and guise
Our thoughts turn dark, our senses say “Beware!”
We need help. We turn to God in prayer.
Pray without ceasing is what we’re to do
Share our troubles with God; He’ll pull us through.
As we go forward, we are more aware
Of God’s presence and His merciful care
He’s always near us, walking by our side
Showing us the way, our personal Guide
We learn to make prayers of all our thoughts
For God has the power, where we do not
We draw our strength directly from Him
And He fills us with peace, full to the brim
With His strength we strive, with His peace we live
And then add His joy, which He has to give
The Kingdom of God is ours on this day
Abounding in hope, it’s for this we pray
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17

My husband LOVES coconut pie, whether it’s custard, cream or banana cream coconut, and it’s okay if there’s chocolate in it too!
As for me, I like pie. By the way, I like cake too! 😋

Marica

Jam! My Hubby..SAME Coconut cream, custard, etc….

Teagan

Spent some delightful time in Jamaica several years ago staying with friends who had a native housekeeper/cook. She made the best (!) coconut pies and cakes with fresh coconut she grated herself. Talk about heavenly!

Linda

Oh wow, Wheatie. That coconut custard pie sounds fabulous! I’ve never had one and now I’m craving a piece just to try it out. 🙂 Normally, though, peach pie is my favorite. My mom always made me one for my birthday (and still does once in awhile).

OW21

Wheatie – are you going to share the recipe to the coconut custard pie? I would love that!!!

OW21

Thank You So Much!!!! Can’t wait to try it! How long does it bake and at what temp??

OW21

Thanks! I will keep you posted on my success!

jamcooker

Just thinking about pies got me to remembering a place in Northern Ca that we stopped at when we were on our way to watch our son graduate from Marine boot camp in San Diego. (Long time ago.) It was a place that specialized in apricots. The pie was so good that we bought a whole pie, and it was stuffed, and I mean stuffed, with apricots.

Marica

hey jam! Never had apricot pie…but a huge fan of dried apricots!!! Son was stationed in SD for a year or two!

realgaryseven

Y’all have me gaining pounds already just looking at the photos!
Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away. I’ll have more to say on that day, but it’s one of my favorite holidays because it’s not that commercialized. Try as they might, the day is about family, friends, staying home, and giving thanks to almighty God.
Having said that (and speculating that prayers may have gotten me kicked out of CTH, I’ll never know.) I offer the following prayer:
Eternal God, heavenly Father, I pray for your undeserved mercy on our country and our people; I pray that you continue to bless our President; guide, protect and defend him; confound his enemies; and restore our nation so that we may serve as witnesses to Thy most holy Name;
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Redeemer, and Savior, who lives and reigns in the unity of Thy most Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever
AMEN
[p.s. to admins, not God: if prayers are not allowed here, please let me know. Still trying to figure out why CTH kicked me out…slowly accepting that I will never know.]

phoenixrising37

Amen.

Katie

Yup. 👋🏼

Marica

Amen.

jamcooker

Wolf made a comment quite a while ago that he decided to let religious comments be included with the posts, because religion used to be intertwined in every day life, and he felt that it still needs to be part of everyday life.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes! The eviction of religion from daily life was one of the things that got America into trouble, and the sequestering of religion on CTH got that site into trouble, too, IMO.
IN GOD WE TRUST!!! 😀

Coldeadhands

This.

Deplorable Patriot

Yes, it did. And trying to get back to some of it, invites all sorts of social pressures to give it up. From people who call themselves religious, and I’m not referring to anyone on this site, either.

GA/FL

AMEN!!!

TheseTruths

Great tree 🌳, and now I want pie 🥧.
I found this interesting from the Dan Bongino interview of Pres. Trump. At about 12:14, Pres. Trump says that “all hell broke loose” among Dems when he released the transcript of the call. Pres. Trump said he had heard that Pelosi blasted the Dems, saying, “You can’t impeach a man on this call.” But she had already gone public with impeachment after reading the whistleblower report.
https://bongino.com/interview-1-president-donald-j-trump/
I thought it was a good interview. Bongino let him talk.

phoenixrising37

I thought so too TheseTruths…

Katie

Paging Hannity and Ingraham. THIS is how you conduct an interview…ask the question, then hush up and let your guest answer.
Bongino did a great job and President Trump obviously appreciates Dan, too.

Wheatie, this is just what we needed after the emotional roller coaster today. (It’s still Friday here.) There is nothing like good old comfort food to settle one down, even if it is pictures and comments. Thank you so much!

‘Nuff said.

Marica

YUP!

Gudthots

Right in the introduction we learn something very key in my mind…

It is an honor to be here this evening delivering the 19th Annual Barbara K. Olson Memorial Lecture.
I had the privilege of knowing Barbara and had deep affection for her. I miss her brilliance and ebullient spirit. It is a privilege for me to participate in this series, which honors her.

Deplorable Patriot

Saving for later…like when I’m actually awake.

Marica

It is Powerful! DP!

Deplorable Patriot

So far, this is the most effective passage:
The fact of the matter is that, in waging a scorched earth, no-holds-barred war of “Resistance” against this Administration, it is the Left that is engaged in the systematic shredding of norms and the undermining of the rule of law. This highlights a basic disadvantage that conservatives have always had in contesting the political issues of the day. It was adverted to by the old, curmudgeonly Federalist, Fisher Ames, in an essay during the early years of the Republic.
In any age, the so-called progressives treat politics as their religion. Their holy mission is to use the coercive power of the State to remake man and society in their own image, according to an abstract ideal of perfection. Whatever means they use are therefore justified because, by definition, they are a virtuous people pursing a deific end. They are willing to use any means necessary to gain momentary advantage in achieving their end, regardless of collateral consequences and the systemic implications. They never ask whether the actions they take could be justified as a general rule of conduct, equally applicable to all sides.
Conservatives, on the other hand, do not seek an earthly paradise. We are interested in preserving over the long run the proper balance of freedom and order necessary for healthy development of natural civil society and individual human flourishing. This means that we naturally test the propriety and wisdom of action under a “rule of law” standard. The essence of this standard is to ask what the overall impact on society over the long run if the action we are taking, or principle we are applying, in a given circumstance was universalized – that is, would it be good for society over the long haul if this was done in all like circumstances?
For these reasons, conservatives tend to have more scruple over their political tactics and rarely feel that the ends justify the means. And this is as it should be, but there is no getting around the fact that this puts conservatives at a disadvantage when facing progressive holy far, especially when doing so under the weight of a hyper-partisan media.

Something off in transcript in last sentence there?
“progressive holy far”?

Explains the Yayawitch perfectly. She was a resistor who had every attention of sitting on her hands and doing nothing for the President and like the two clowns yesterday would not promote the notion that Spy Gate and Biden corruption were real and deserved serious attention. That’s why she was fired. Jordan started to scratch her up on that today, but it IMO it should of started much earlier. It’s the message that needs to be pounded home.

There certainly going to have a hard time blaming no budget on the President this time around.

A Fortiori

I watched Barr’s speech last night and want to underline his comment that the SCt’s decision in Boumediene, that enemy combatants may access US courts so as to allow a judicial review of their detention is “insane.” Hussein and his ilk supported this notion specifically so as to hamstring our military and weaken our defenses. This ruling must be overturned.
In much of what passes for news today, the notion that citizens have rights that limit the actions of our government, whereas non-citizens do not, is often obscured (purposely in my view). And so it falls on each of us to think clearly about this subject.
Enemy combatants may not access our courts so as to limit the activities of our military personnel in protecting our country. Illegal aliens may not access our courts so as to limit the activities of our Homeland Security personnel in defending our border. Citizens may use US courts to limit the actions of our government; others may not.

Okay, fellow QTree occupants….and especially Wheatie who started this delicious posting….it’s in the middle of the night here and I’m STARVING after all these great photos of my favorite foods. Honestly, if I had pie, sweet or pizza, in the house I’d be in the kitchen this very minute! ( I’m so weak!)

Gudthots

And no one has mentioned QUICHE PIE… with extra BACON!!!

itswoot

With the best of pies they cause me to involuntarily close my eyes and concentrate on savoring the taste. The two types of pies most likely to do that are:
1) Wild blueberry pie. The difference in taste with wild versus farm raised is like night and day. Pure maple syrup used as the sweetener also helps with the taste.
2) A combined wild blackberry and rhubarb pie. Same comparison with the use of wild berries.
I remember reading of a guy who alternated his mincemeat pie eating with bites from a hunk of cheese. The cheese reset his taste buds. The first bite or two always seem to be the best part of the pie experience.

GA/FL

I love wild blackberries – and – mincemeat pie!!

Teagan

I woot…the problem with wild blueberries…they are tiny little things and it takes a heck of a lot to make anything! LOL.
Plus, at least in the PNW, you had to fight the local black bears for them.
I remember after the first moon landing there was a grand White House dinner feting the astronauts and others to celebrate the achievement. The menu featured foods and courses from throughout the USA, with each state contributing to the menu. Wild blueberries were Oregon’s contribution, if I recall, and one weekend hundreds of families scoured the mountains picking them for the dessert. There was such pride in being able to participate in history.
That was in the days when…..

Coldeadhands

Pumpkin for moi please. That coconut creme pie looks inviting!

Cuppa Covfefe

Nothing like a good pumpkin pie with whipped cream!!! … though there are TONS of good ones here to try, too… I’ve gained 10 pounds just looking 🙂 Mince pie is nice, too (especially when, erm, upgraded with lots of Brandy) but hard to find here.. have to make do with imporged Plum pudding and hard sauce…
I used to visit my Mom when I was in college, and we’d have a coconut-, banana-, or chocolate-cream pie. We’d slice it in four or more slices, and pretty much alternate until the pie had mysteriously disappeared. Then one day, she took out the pie, cut it in half, and we laughed, she asked, “which half do you want?”…
Ahhh, those were the days… (OK the pie was only an 8” one, but still…).

GA/FL

Deep south girl here – born in NOLA – lived most of my life in GA a few miles from the FL line.
Favorite pie – hand picked wild blackberry pie – picked along the roadsides and fence lines. Also preserves made from the same on hot buttermilk biscuits!!!
We used to go out as a family in the heat of the summer to pick wild blackberries by the buckets full.
We were taught as small kids to always be looking out for, making lots of noise and beating the ground to scare away the rattlesnakes, who also seem to love and hang out around wild berries or the mice, squirrels, coons, etc. that eat them.
Wild blackberries have finer seeds than domestic farm raised blackberries, which have to be removed to cook with them. The flavor is far better too!!! Families made double crust, single crust and/or biscuit crust cobblers out of wild blackberries. No need for ice cream or whipped cream…. they are wonderful as is!

GA/FL

Yep – I know what you mean about the snakes – we spent most of our summers barefoot, growing hard calloused soles on the bottom of our feet, picking out splinters from the dock or putting bandaids on stubbed toes from the roots of live oak trees.

A local hometown restaurant used to make an Almond Cream Pie that was out of this world. It was so good, our local Methodist church hired the cook to do their Wednesday night suppers and we had that pie often.

Octopi are smart and they are sneaky. There was one in an aquarium, a big one like Monterrey or something, that got out of the tank and escaped to freedom through a drain.

Gudthots

I heard a story of someone that brought a smaller one home and put it in one of their aquariums. After missing fish in other tanks they staked it out one night and witnessed the octopus leaving it’s home tank to snitch fish out of other tanks and then return to it’s own tank afterwards.
Who says we don’t have alien life on our planet?

That scene with the people trying to get the box spring into the car happens just about every day at IKEA… spatial awareness and judgement seems to be a lost art…

Station wagons (and even pickups) that would hold a whole 4×8 or mattress/box spring are, sadly, a thing of the past…
Stores over here are all over the “impossible” meat… AlGore has a big, erm, stake in that company… but their meat is just as impossible as his Gore-Bull warming theories… I Timothy 4 was right on about VEGAN and all that madness…

No I don’t have a quiche recipe on my computer…..I’m a person who cooks by taste…. I’d just beat eggs, add milk, cheese of choice, and the rest by preference of the day! Use a pre-baked crust, pour in the egg mixture and bake until the eggs are set.
Lots of recipes out there.

Thanks, GA/FL! I cook by taste and smell – but, I cannot taste or smell without a recipe – have learned so much from others, tho’ – and that helps immensely.

Thanks, GA/FL!!! You are sweet to help!!!

GA/FL

You are so welcome. I make an easy corn oil crust that always flakes and never gets bitter like crisco crust can.
Double crust:
2 cups white flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp wheat germ optional
whisk together in bowl
In 2 cup measure, whisk together 1/2 to 2/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup cold water.
Stir together in bowl until all flour is moistened.
Divide and roll between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or parchment.
Line pie plate,
A. pierce and bake for cream filling….
B. add fruit filling top with second crust. Slit crust, sprinkle lightly with sugar, brush with milk or cream for a shiny crust.
Bake filled pie as directed.

Wow! Thanks, GA/FL:!!!
You know what? I have found ‘southern cooks’ are uncanny and unmatched!!!

You are so sweet to say that….have cooked a lot over the years, made big messes – and failed a lot too.
Now, at my age, most of my big deal cooking days are over and mostly cook from memory – only get out a recipe every 6 months to a year.

duchess01

Most ‘seasoned cooks’ cook from memory – I think – they just ‘know’ what to do
My neighbor was making chili – and asked me if I wanted to learn – she put her spices in so fast – made my head spin – when I asked her how much of each – she said – she just knows – what? How am I going to know? It was delicious – but, I was at a loss to make it myself.
I wanted to learn how to make homemade bread – so I referred to one of my numerous cook books – it came out awful – it was bland and tasteless – when I asked a ‘seasoned cook’ what I had done wrong – she asked me if I added honey – I said no – why? She said it gives the bread flavor. Oh? Mistakes? I am sure I got you beat there, GA/FL!

Cuppa Covfefe

(Since I can’t get the margins right…). Another cheese that’s really good is Gruyere (Greyezer) which is also used in Fondue… add a splash of Kirschwasser (cherry schnapps) and yer good to go for a, erm, warm morning 🙂

GA/FL

One of the cakes I have made a lot is Schwartzwalder Kirsch torte – Black forest cake. Dark chocolate layers – saturated with Kirsch, with whipped cream and dark sweet cherries between the layers, frosted with whipped cream and covered with shaved chocolate curls! Luscious!!!!

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep. I love that too, especially the Kirschwasser…. sometimes I even make the cake 😀
(Kind of like my Mom’s recipes for fruitcake and plum pudding… wrap them in cheesecloth and pour Brandy over it… have a glass, them more Brandy…. amazing they didn’t spontaneously combust… but boy howdy, were they good!)

Deplorable Patriot

Quiche is one of those recipes you can put anything in: mushrooms, broccoli, bacon, cheese, spinach, etc.
What makes the quiche is pricking the crust with a fork, all over, and popping it into the oven (425) for ten minutes before layering the veggies and meat, if desired, and the actual egg filling. Pro tip on meat, and broccoi and cauliflower – cook it first. Onions, spinach and mushrooms cook much faster, so it isn’t necessary for those. Best cheese to use is either really good cheddar or baby Swiss. Grown up Swiss doesn’t melt as well.
This is the best egg filling I’ve ever found from the Blue Owl Restaurant (this place is a local landmark) in Kimmswick, Missouri, down the Mississippi River a bit.
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups whipping cream
3/4 tsp. salt (I use sea salt, something that is pure, not additive)
1/4 tsp. sugar
That’s it.
Bake at 425 for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 300 for 35-40 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. Let it set up for about 10 minutes before cutting.

Deplorable Patriot

The cheese should be grated on a medium grater for best melting consistency.

duchess01

Wow, DP!!! That sounds great! Thanks for the tip on the cheese – I would not have known that – but, hey – my experience is in sports – not cooking –
Thanks for chiming in – saved this and shared with a cook who will appreciate it, too – you the best, DP!!!

Deplorable Patriot

You’re quite welcome. Quiche is a big favorite in this house. And it’s so easy.
Now, I have to learn to make it without a flour crust for myself. My guess is that thoroughly greasing the pie plate is the first step.

duchess01

Oh, why no crust? Oh, yes – greasing is very important – ask me – I know what happens when you skip that step – lol

Deplorable Patriot

I’m very much gluten free. Soy free. Legume free. Sugar in small amounts. Practically paleo. It’s the only way to keep the hormones balanced.

duchess01

Oh, DP – that must be a challenge for you!

Deplorable Patriot

Somewhat. Although, I’m learning a lot of new ways to cook, that’s for sure.

duchess01

And – more ways to share, too – I would imagine there are others who are like you.

Cuppa Covfefe

DP, would you be able to use a corn flour/masa-based crust? That would work well with the cheese, not sure if it would fit with your diet. I have a colleague here who was gluten-intolerant (as is her husband), and I only learned that after talking about Mexican food – seems that they used corn and sometimes rice flour for everything…
A huge problem over here is that the “discount bakeries” use some sort of enzyme accerlants to speed up the dough “curing” before making it into crusts/loafs/etc. Pizzas are the most difficult, as they require a high-gluten crust…
(Side note – when all the tumult about trans fats started, RoundTable began to look for alternatives for their crusts, to the point that they elisted their customers in the search for and testing thereof. It seems that losing trans fats all but ruined pizza crusts, in general…who knew…).

duchess01

Hope DP catches this – since you sent it to me – 🙂

Cuppa Covfefe

Oops, sorry Duchess… I’ve fallen victim to the left-margin-limit again…sigh…
(Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most…).

duchess01

You are too funny, Cuppa – like a breath of fresh air!

Aubergine

Basic quiche recipe:
Two cups half and half
Three eggs
Salt
Pepper
A pinch of nutmeg (trust me on this, it is key)
Beat the above together.
Make and pre-bake a pie crust (trust me on the pre-baking, too). Bake crust about 15 minutes at 425, lined with foil with pie weights. Take the pie weights out, bake five more minutes. Brush the crust with an egg yolk beaten with a pinch of salt. Bake two minutes more. This protects the crust from moisture, and makes the flakiest crust under a quiche you have ever had.
Cover the bottom of the crust with cheese of choice, depending on filling, whatever you want to add – bacon, ham, spinach, onion, etc. Put any or all of this over cheese. Pour the egg mixture into the crust.
Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes. Center will jiggle a little still; by the time it cools it will be perfect. Cool about ten minutes. It gives you time to prepare yourself for pure quiche heaven.

duchess01

Thanks, Aubergine! My Recipe Book is filling up with great recipes – you girls are the best!!! God Bless You!!!

Cuppa Covfefe

Another one of those quiche-and-tell recipies 😀
Looks REALLY good!
Onion cake (actually kind of a quiche) is really good too – they have it over here with “green” wine (Federweißer or New Wine – names differ by region) which is freshly-pressed and just starting to ferment, about 4% alcohol… could make for a very cheerful breakfast 🙂 Heyyy JW, be sure to bring some Ebbelwoi…
For the savory to go with the sweet, there’s always FRITO PIE and Tamale Pie… and, what’s even good cold, for breakfast the day after, RoundTable Pizza (the last honest pizza). 10% cheddar, 80% Mozzarella, and 10% Provolne (I like 20-60-20) cheese makes it special, plus the crust…
Goes really well with strong covfefe in the morning…

GA/FL

Sounds awesome!!!!

duchess01

Oh, I see – the night crew gets hungry – a warm piece of pie with a spot of tea – just the right combo before turning in for the night – better call pat in case you need help with the pies – I understand she is quite the baker – I would help – but, I do not want to blow up my kitchen – not a baker am I – * Sigh *

I hear you – but, I do not think this is something that just ‘happened’ to him in his old age – he was carefully taught in a theology that is not ‘Catholic’ – nor is it universal – even though that i what he wants it to be.
There are nuts in every denomination – and people who ignorantly follow them – I believe the churches have been infiltrated by satan and his minions – where was Jesus ostracized – in the Temple – a good man’s holiness shines through – but, a fallen man makes nonsense – imho
I would like to think he ‘makes it up as he goes along’ but, I do not – when in the history of the Catholic Church has a pope been ‘retired’? There had to be some reason this happened – what did Benedict do to deserve to be ‘cast aside’? There is something nefarious going on here – something that was planned long ago to bring down not only the Catholic Church – but, other churches as well –
Look at the divisions that have arisen over the gay agenda – I know of a flourishing Catholic Church that was instrumental in caring for the homeless, helpless, and many more – somehow – they put up a woman priest – and all h3ll broke loose – then – the gay agenda hit hard – this wealthy, community church literally split in half – the ‘gay’ church and the ‘straight’ church – their community outreach was not only diminished – it was destroyed – so you see – the divisions are everywhere – and I blame satan for that – after all – he comes to kill, steal, and destroy all of God’s creation – and that includes us!

Francis is the tale end of a group of prelates who have been plotting this for decades. Honestly, he’s making such a mess of the effort, that the serious people in the pews are pretty much ignoring him.

Deplorable Patriot

It depends on whether or not you’re part of the SJW crowd or not. The SJW groups, pretty much still bamboozled by Jesuit kumbya leftovers, are fans. The rest of us…no.

Oh – that is good to know – Thanks!

Deplorable Patriot

Nobody knows what an “ecological sin” is and that is the point. Most of us are wondering what happened to the sins that have been part of the DO NOT DO list for a couple thousand years. Don’t pollute unnecessarily, yes, is on the list, but it doesn’t rank up there with some of the others.

When then – now I do not feel so stupid, DP – Thanks!!!

If you have a great regard for the Creator, you naturally are concerned for the care of the creation. If he would stick with deepening people’s regard for the Holy Trinity, the rest can follow as a matter of course.

duchess, Perfect Scripture!
thanks.

duchess01

Most welcome, piper!

Cuppa Covfefe

Exactly. Looks like Francis the talking fool got stuck even before Genesis 1:1…. If he’s ever read the Bible at all… Looks like he doesn’t understand that “dominion” implicity specifies responsibility for and conservation of the earth and its creatures, as well as mankind. Francis is more at home with his idols and pagan gods/goddesses: he should either repent, or return to them and GOD’S wrath… Can’t have it both ways, and, as a leader misleading his flock, he will effectively have HELL to pay…
Genesis 1:26-31 says:

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

hmmmm…Vindman’s testifying this Tuesday (?) so perhaps that’s another reason POTUS released the transcript of the April call…seems Vindman overplayed his hand again…
FTA
Vindman is the top Ukraine official on the White House National Security Council. On Friday, the White House released a rough transcript of the call that conflicts with a separate summary of the call sent to reporters in April.
The April summary of the call said that Trump “underscored the unwavering support of the United States for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity – within its internationally recognized borders – and expressed his commitment to work together with President-elect Zelensky and the Ukrainian people to implement reforms that strengthen democracy, increase prosperity, and root out corruption.”
The rough transcript of the phone call documents Trump congratulating Zelensky on his election victory and pledging to send a “very, very high level representative” to attend Zelensky’s inauguration. However, it does not include Trump explicitly promising to work with Zelensky to “strengthen democracy, increase prosperity, and root out corruption” in Ukraine.
In response to questions from reporters, the White House said in a Friday statement that “the NSC’s Ukraine expert” prepared the April summary.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house-nsc-ukraine-expert-wrote-summary-of-april-trump-zelensky-call-that-conflicts-with-rough-transcript

duchess01

Oh, Whoopie!!! Another Dud!!! Maybe, this testimony will get him butted out of the DOD – isn’t that where he went after getting canned at NSC?

Gudthots

So is Vindman the one that wrote the April summary that omitted the part about rooting out corruption? That means he is on the record throwing shade on the President.

patfrederick

Vindman wrote the April summary yes, but his version was the one that said:
The April summary of the call said that Trump “underscored the unwavering support of the United States for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity – within its internationally recognized borders – and expressed his commitment to work together with President-elect Zelensky and the Ukrainian people to implement reforms that strengthen democracy, increase prosperity, and root out corruption.”
the actual call didn’t mention that–that was Vindman projecting his desires for Ukraine…

Gudthots

Oh, okay. I had it backwards! Thanks for the correction.

Well done, patriot! One of the replies under this tweet is someone who made a QR code that links to Joe’s video and printed it on cards to leave around. (For those who don’t know, a QR code is those square boxes with random black and white marks. You scan it with an app on your cell phone)
So imagine having a business card laying around that just says “Have you seen the Plan to Save the World?” And the QR code which then directs people to Joe M’s video. That’s brilliant!

I’ve done this with fresh raspberries or blueberries too.

Gail Combs

I have made that several times.
A key is to add WILD strawberries to increase the strawberry taste. I use strawberry jello made with some crushed strawberries. Place halved fresh strawberries in a baked pie shell. Cover with the gelling jello and place in the frig. Once the jello has set, top with REAL home made whipped cream.
(You can use non-sugar sweetener BTW and the strawberries make it so no one will know the difference)
H/T to my college roomie’s Mom who taught me this recipe on a spring break at their farm.

GA/FL

I NEVER use cool whip – only like REAL whipped cream!!!

Cuppa Covfefe

I imagine Al Borland would call it “fool whip” 🙂 [Does everybody know what time it is?]
Same here… when I was a wee bairn, I was whipping some cream, and wanted to do it “extra special”, so I kept going, and going, and going… My Dad, who had grown up on a farm, reminded me, “son, if you keep on, you’ll end up with butter”…
Hmmm. Come to think of it, there were flecks of butter in there… nothing like REAL whipped cream (sad to say, in Kalifornistan, “pasturized processed cheese” can be called REAL, in their warped world)…
A touch of vanilla (NOT vanillin), and awayyyyyyy you go…

Your strawberry pie sounds perfect. Copying and saving the technique!

Pavlova is a popular Australian dessert that is somewhat similar. We were introduced to it by a family that was here on an exchange program.

GA/FL

Here’s the recipe:
LEMON ANGEL PIE
INGREDIENTS
Crust:
4 egg whites
pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
Filling:
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
grated rind of 2 lemons (wash lemons well in soap and water, rinse well, then soak lemons in hot water and dry before grating)
Topping
1 pint heavy cream, divided use
sugar to taste (about 2 tablespoons)
vanilla to taste
PREPARATION
For Crust: Heat oven to 275 degrees. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add salt, cream of tartar and sugar a little at a time. Beat until stiff but not dry. Spread mixture in buttered 9 inch pie plate, forming a crust shape (not too high on sides). Bake for 25 minutes, then increase heat to 300 and continue baking 25 minutes more. This will puff up high, but will settle and crack when cooled.
For Filling: Beat egg yolks; stir in sugar, lemon juice and rind. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened (it will thicken more as it cools. Cool very well, at least 1 hour, at room temperature. For Topping: Whip 1 1/2 cups cream until thick. Fold this slowly into cooled lemon filling. Beat remaining 1/2 cup, adding sugar and vanilla to taste. Pour lemon filling into cooled merangue crust.
Spread sweetened whipped cream on top. Refrigerate overnight, if possible
Note: I do not frost my pie with the whipped cream, but wait and use it to top each serving.
Garnish with 2 tbsp lemonade powder, 1 tbsp finely grated lemon peel, mixed with 1/2 cup coarse crystal sugar in a sugar or spice shaker and/or top with thin 1/2 slice of lemon.

Barry is back. Giving advice with an air of self importance. As always.
===
“Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision we also have to be rooted in reality. The average American doesn’t think we have to completely tear down the system and remake it.”
Said Barack Obama, “speaking before a room of wealthy liberal donors,” quoted in the NYT, which calls his speech “an extraordinary entrance into the primary contest by the former president.” It’s “extraordinary,” because, until now, he “has been careful to avoid even the appearance of influencing the direction of the race.” So bland as his advice may sound, he must think it’s awfully important.

Found something seriously weird last night…..
The USA is controlling Ukraine like it’s a colony.
And the US Ambassador was the one in charge.
Maria Zhartovskaya is the author of the article who did big interview of Lutsenko, Prosecutor General in Ukraine. That article was the source article used by WSJ, WaPost, NYTimes, to “claim” Lutsenko “retracted” his statement about Marie Yovanovich having a do not prosecute list.
It was a lie. She did give him a list of names, VERBALLY. He rebuffed her and threw her out of his office. Thus the media claimed there was never an actual physical “list” which she handed to him. See there??
Well, in the whole article, Maria the author, keeps asking Lutsenko “How does the US feel about that” or “Does the US approve” or “Did the US recommend that….” It was weird. Why does the USA have to approve everything. In fact, at one point, Lutsenko complains that Ukrainians should be running Ukraine, not the US Embassy.
Well, I thought that was pretty strange. Before closing out last night, I went through some of Maria’s other articles with various cabinet ministers, the new SPOX for Zelinsky, etc. And the same thing happened, absolute deference to the USA……specifically the US Embassy (which is nicknamed “The Tank”)……. like an overlord.
What the heck is going on?

daughnworks247

Funny you should mention that. I thought it might be the case. She was born and bred in NYC. Thought it might be just her perspective.
Nope.
I started checking links within the articles and found same deference by other authors. It’s “a thing”.
Weird, huh?
No wonder Yovanovich did not want to leave Ukraine, she was the queen.

One last recipe – 1952 coconut pie recipe:
Macaroon Pie
4 egg whites
1/4/ tsp salt
1 c sugar
1 c graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp baking powder
Add salt to egg whites, beat until foamy, not stiff. Add all the other ingredients.
Pour into a greased pie plate, bake 325 for 35 minutes.
Cool, cut into wedges, top with whipped cream or ice cream and serve.
Other variations of this pie in my mother’s and aunt’s Sunday School cookbook were made with saltine or ritz cracker crumbs, finely chopped dates instead of coconut.

Check the damn hotels! They come in from out of state and try to hit as many polling places as they can. Willing to bet occupancy is way up.

Teagan

Wonder if there were several people with camera stationed in front of hotels, especially if “buses” load up, if it would make out of state “voters” hesitate about being recorded.
And, then someone assigned to follow the buses to the polling places and alerting poll watchers.
Especially important in heavily populated areas where voter fraud is so common….more bang for the buck, so to speak.
It’s going to take serious counter actions to stop it as much as possible….critical in the Bloomberg-paid for targeted states.

Pie – It can change your life.
Dad swore he married mom because of her strawberry rhubarb pie. He was right, it was divine.
Years later, I met Big T. His sister was “hosting” Thanksgiving and ………. she does not cook. She was going to cater the meal. I frowned at Big T and started to shake, “CATER Thanksgiving?” I couldn’t imagine such a thing. Big T looked confused – they “always catered Thanksgiving”…….. my eyes went wide with fear! I was gasping. That would not do. I offered to host the meal. No, she was dead set, had to be at her house. I offered to bring the food. Immediately, she accepted my offer. Beyond everything else, dessert was two pies.
One was a pumpkin chiffon pie, with fresh whipped cream laced with maple and amaretto, sprinkled with sugared pecans. The other was a pecan pie, from OUR pecan trees. I handed the stainless steel bowl to my brother-in-law with a whip, to do the cream. By the time I turned around, he had his fingers all in the whipped cream, saying, “What is this magical stuff??????”
I’ll never forget the look on Big T’s DAD’s face. He had two full pieces of each for dessert. He backed away from the table after finishing and said, “First time I’ve had home made pie in 35yrs.” After that, I could do no wrong in his eyes.
Best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

patfrederick

as a family, we show love through food…and our Thanksgivings always had several choices for dessert. we also had 2 kinds of potatoes, veggies galore, and 2 different gravies—my mom made a wonderful mouth watering gravy from the drippings, but my siblings preferred gravy {{gasp}} FROM A JAR–so she heated that up too…lol…
I could never understand how anyone could love gravy from a jar–till I met my hubby. Our first dinner with his parents I discovered why–his mom couldn’t make gravy from scratch…LOL…it was tasteless and lumpy and looked like mud…

Cuppa Covfefe

Ohhh, that’s sad. Take the bits left over from cooking the roast/turkey/whatever from the pan, add some Brandy (or wine) and cream, maybe a little roux too, (they call it loeschen here) and make gravy out of it… me Mum could make Yorkshire pudding in a few minutes like that…
Then again, in a pinch, hamburger-helper stuffing mix and the like are better than nothing…

patfrederick

IKR? I make gravy from scratch, (and my family loves it) but hubby prefers jar gravy…still…lol
except when i make a roast beef–he loves that…ah well… i cook to his taste…

singingsoul1

Daughn in German we say “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”
If it is said in both US and Germany it must be true 🙂
My husband is happiest who I am in the kitchen because he knows something good will be for dinner 🙂
My doctor son is the cook in his family his wife also a doctor cannot even scramble an egg. My son loves to eat and therefore loves to cook specially mom’s old recipes. He teaches his kids to cook also.
My other son is the main cook in one also. My daughter and her husband share cooking but my daughter is the baker.

para59r

Big effect on kids too. Think Big Mike knew what it was doing when it tried to starve young impressionable minds with its fascistic uneatable school lunch program? That alone has certainly had an effect on all the mushy thinking with today’s liberals. Another early forerunner of resist designed to fill hearts with hate and envy. It attempted to make the same inroads on taking away my two cheeseburgers and fries at the mess hall too but luckily that didn’t fare as well as the officers got an earful and then told their wives they didn’t want to get fragged. Food is a serious business with far reaching consequences. Some one should start promoting patriot meals where common sense rules.

Cuppa Covfefe

They’ve been doing that in Holland, too.
I think we “Normies” have had enough. Indeed, MORE THAN ENOUGH.
Kind of funny, back before 1992 and the disaster known as the European (Monetary(!)) Union came into being, France was especially entertaining, as they would have a general strike just about every two weeks or so. I’d be travelling on business, only to find out everything was clogged up, or nothing could be done because everyhing was on strike.
The funniest time was one time when the railroads (SNCF) were one strike. I needed to cross a grade crossing in order to get to my hotel, which I could see from the crossing. It was night, pitch black, raining furiously, and I’d already tried to get around the crossing up a steep, narrow, windy street, only to find it a dead-end, and having to back down, very slowly and carefully (in total fright, as it was VERY NARROW), back to the grade crossing. Fortunately (I thought), there was a telephone at the crossing gate, with a little roof over it so I wouldn’t get soaked.
So, I gathered up my best memories of high-school and college French, picked up the handset, and proceeded to ask the person on the other end (who, sadly for him, wasn’t on strike) what was going on.
It went on a bit like “Who’s On First”.
I asked why the crossing gates were down.
“We’re on strike, so we must make sure that the crossings are safe”.
I responded, “but if you’re on strike, there are no trains running, or?”
“Yes monsieur, there are no trains running”.
“But why are the crossing gates down?”
“Because there might be a train…”
“Didn’t you just say there was a strike, and there are no trains running???!!!” (it was raining ever harder)
“Yes, monsieur, but there might be trains running, and we must make it safe”…
This went on for about another 10 minutes, the SNCF person, of course realized the irony, but was, like the officer in “Herbie Goes To Paris”, completely unable to do anything…
I eventually went back, to another hotel that I knew, and had a(n understanding) laugh with them over my plight…
The French, back then, really understood that a general strike is the best, and perhaps ONLY means of getting an incompetent, recalcitrant gpvernment to do ANYTHING, let alone something useful…
Oh, for the days that a “change agent” was someone you met at the border at a “Bureau du Change” to change your money into (or from) Francs…
When France, and sometimes Germany or Austria went on strike; the WHOLE COUNTRY CAME TO A STOP. And they had to DO SOMETHING. Nowadays, there is less backbone shown. If only…..

Wheatie, I saw a report/ story, can’t say where but like a Dim I know I read it and it was a careful source, that Hunter’s monthly pay was $83.333.33. In other words, four cents less that a million per year. (Maybe the contract was for $250,000 per quarter and the cents always round down to 33.)
News reporters indict themselves of short-sighted tunnel-vision every time they type a report. I guess their thoughts are, “What’s the important message of this dollar amount? I know – $83000 per month! No, no, it’s More Than $83000!” Sheesh. What is written in the ledger, mister journalist?

Red Devil Chocolate Cake
½ c butter
2 c sugar
2 eggs
4 oz. bitter chocolate (melted)
1 ½ teas vanilla
2/3 c sour milk or buttermilk
1 ½ teas baking soda
1 teas salt
2 c flour
1 c boiling water
1. Cream butter & sugar.
2. Add vanilla.
3. Add eggs one at a time and cream thoroughly.
4. Add melted chocolate and cream thoroughly.
5. Sift together dry ingredients together.
6. Add dry ingredients to batter alternately with sour milk/buttermilk.
7. Add boiling water last.
8. Pour into greased and floured 8 inch pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 min. Cake will be peaked in the center.
666 or Mocha Fudge Frosting
1 pound box of powdered sugar
6 Tbs. Hershey’s cocoa
6 Tbs. melted butter
6 Tbs. cold coffee
1. Mix the sugar and cocoa
2. Add butter and coffee and beat until smooth and glossy.
• Place flat side of one layer on the plate.
• Slice off the top of the layer to make a flat surface. Set the slice aside for everyone to nibble.
• Frost the top surface of this layer.
• Add top layer and frost the sides and then the top of the cake.

Apple pan dowdy is a sort of apple upside-down-cake (note: CAKE :)). Used to have it all the time growing up. Can even make it with Bisquick (and lots of apples and cinammon and brown sugar)…. Great stuff…

I am not sure that people are still commenting on the “tolerance” thread so I will put this here.
I finally read who the banned posters are, though the page kept disappearing before I could read all if it, and saw part of one of the posts responsible.
The whole thing, as well as the division between the 2 trees, is very sad.
For the record, the female who can no longer post here was an example to me of strength and grace through heartbreaking, terrible life experiences that some of us would have been felled by. I hope somehow she sees this and realizes that she is respected and treasured by many of us.
On top of deeply painful challenges of the human condition, many here deal with hardship and personal attacks from the outside simply because of our Christian, Conservative beliefs.
While we constantly see vitriol aimed at the President and the rest of us in the media, many come here—thinking ourselves among friends—to gain information and encouragement in carrying out our God given assignments in being the salt that will help preserve the country.
I think it should not be hard to retain a certain amount of professionalism in realizing that what we post reflects who we are not only to each other, but to others who may read this site, and who—while not being satisfied with the behavior of the left—might justify their continued support of it because they see no better here.
Knowing the depth of kindness and the goodness of character of most who post here, I think I am probably preaching to the choir. Still, it doesn’t hurt to remind ourselves of the call most of us have accepted to love one another, bear one another’s burdens, and overlook one another’s faults.
A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

Ha! Thought I’d get left in moderation having never been to your place before. Left some for Nebraska there if you get a chance to break it out.
Posts here too since its stuck there.
Not sure how these things work out Nebraska but your being out leaves a big hole in the tree that will only ever be repaired with your return. Meanwhile I’m clueless about what happened and the cryptic excuses didn’t help any in explaining it. If LM and Marica hadn’t left those messages in today’s daily I wouldn’t of ever thought it was you. Meanwhile I’m assuming pink hat is Andy and there’s no loss there since he took back in rile sarcasm as much as he gave in informative posts. Anyone whose read your posts long enough should know your well meaning, insightful a great contributor, reporter and someone with a story.
Anyway, personal talk like this is not my custom. Hopes this is just a suspension as stated, action taken, time served and then we see you soon. Missed always till then.

Baiting ..Seems almost benign in comparison to the street fight here.
Was it satisfying I wonder to break a woman who chose to scrap with him? Was it fulfilling to seek out nuggets to bludgeon her with? Was it exciting to wait to see if the latest zinger would hit that sweet spot and elicit a response to keep it going?
One thing this situation has done..cement the fact that the internet is forever and no matter how much we think we know a group, revealing anything personal is a gamble that can come back to cause tremendous harm.

Looks like communication through playing games with the chat feature…. again. Just not cards or casino games this time.

jamcooker

That’s what I’d guess. A game like that is one where they can “invite” certain people to play. If you are playing over a private lan ( a lan not necessarily hooked up to the web), the players still need to be invited to join. Players can ask to join a particular group on the internet, and the person “hosting” the game will offer an invite to the requesting party. They may have a regular time that everyone knows about to meet, and maybe set meeting dates while “game playing”. Dummies.

MAGA Mom

We All have hurts and damage to our hearts and souls – childhoods that were damaging beyond the norm (no perfect parents so there are Always hurts from childhood!), from family, from friends, work situation, current life, choices our children have made, spouses, some of our own choices…
I learned something completely new to me from Magnolia magazine by the Gaines which had an article in issue #12 that talks about the practice of repairing pottery/china with gold. It is broken and then restored but the restoration is not with the goal of making it like the original but better than the original. The gold in the break lines/repair lines is precious gold, increases its literal worth and brings new designs and new beauty. Lovely.
I pray that our hearts, repaired with the precious love of God will be more beautiful and stronger repaired than it would have been had it never been hurt and damaged by various events and people throughout our lives. We All need this, some more than others – but won’t the ones who have the most damage just be the most precious and the most beautiful as they will receive the Most repair and attention for Him?

Beautiful examples here:

More beautiful examples here:
https://akintsugilife.com
(not endorsing particular websites – just locations I found lovely pictures)
We all need wholeness for peace, Spiritual growth and maturity, for our Earthly journey to our Heavenly destination and to be Effective in All areas of our lives while here on earth – relationships at work, with our neighbors, in our communities (including online), in our families, with our God and in our civic duties.
Prayers for peace, healing and restoration to our treehouse, to our fellow treehouse commenters and to so many being damaged in the political fight of our lives for our Nation.

pgroup

Scripture is full of references to pottery. The most important one being that a human must be broken in order to be able to be rebuilt by God. This is why there are a disproportionate number of born-again convicts in prison. They sure are broken and most of them want to be rebuilt.

singingsoul1

Personally I am grateful for all the pain I have gone through because it made me the person I am today.
Also my thinking is we go through situations for a purpose not only for ourself but also for others.
To be understanding by knowing and to hand a listening ear to persons who go through the same pain .
I always say “I weep with those who weep.” So true because I can feel the pain and the Holy Spirit intervenes and brings healing to the person.
In my life I confront pain and embrace it and in love let it go. I do not hang on to pain. It takes love to let it go not hate , not fear not getting even.
I am Blessed that way.
I guess we all come to peace our own way.

Hoofhearted

While I agree wholeheartedly with all you have said, it is much easier to “say” than it is “to do”. My experience has been in knowing that support is there,but silent, until I ask. While the hurst is in my driveway, the last thing I hear (or am interested in hearing) is how someone else handles similar tragedy. I initiate input at the proper time for me and appreciate those who do understand and not the religious friends of Job.

Physically remove the harddrive from dead machine, stick one of the above-described accessories on harddrive, and plug it into working computer. From there, you can read all the files and copy them into a separate folder on working computer.

I understand good mincemeat is hard to find if you don’t make it yourself. One of my grandmother’s aunts used to make mincemeat pie just for my dad, he loves it.

I remember when I was a very young child my mom and grandmother used to make mince meat. I love mince meat pastries.

Teagan

Look in Major grocery stores during Thanksgiving and Xmas….and then immediately afterwards when they put it all out on sale! I load up then. I also buy it on line.

Teagan

Fairly common here, Gail. In fact we are having baked sweet potatoes tonight with minced meat as a topping. Should go nicely with the roasted lamb loin.
I would say the vast majority of people under 50-60 (?) have never tasted minced meat pies.

jamcooker

I dug out my recipe, well one of them, for mincemeat. This is pared down, the original made 7 – 8 qts. I quartered the recipe and did a little adaptation. Mincemeat can also be made with green tomatoes.
So here goes:
1/2 lb lean ground beef
2 1/2 c chopped, peeled apples
3 3/4 oz EACH raisins and currants (or about) , so about 1/4 of a 15 oz box each or you can just use half a box of raisins and forget about the currants
1/2 c sorghum I use molasses instead, can never find sorghum
1 c sugar
1/4 c vinegar – I like cider vinegar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp EACH cloves, allspice and nutmeg
2 oz apple jelly I have used currant, blackberry, or whatever else I have, as I make almost all my own jam.
Brown hamburger, and add everything to a pot, slowly bringing to a boil, then turning down and let simmer for about 40 minutes, until apples are tender. I put it in containers, enough for 1 pie each and freeze it. Sometimes I put a plastic bag around the container – this stuff is sticky. Add your booze of choice to the thawed out mincemeat before putting it into a pie shell and bake as usual.

Teagan

Jamcooker, one question about your recipe….how much do you consider sufficient for a typical 9” pie…one quart?
Thanks for sharing the recipe…I’m thinking this might be a fun Xmas gift for some of my friends.

jamcooker

3 or 4 cups, depending on how much you want to put in the pie. If the filling seems a little short, you can cut up an extra apple or two to stretch the mincemeat, that’s something my mom would do. I think the commercial mincemeat comes in 3 cup jars. If you want a fuller pie, but are using only 3 c., put it in an 8″ pie pan rather than the usual 9″ pie pan.
Some people add other things to mincemeat, but this is a good basic recipe. I used orange marmalade one time in place of the jelly and that was pretty good too.

jamcooker

And be sure to stir it frequently when cooking!

Yes, except that AG BARR didn’t wear a kilt when he played his bagpipes with the NY Police Department Pipes and Drums corps. I do believe however he was playing HIS OWN set of bagpipes — not only was there a white cord on his pipes (the NYC PD’s are green cords), but it’s difficult to “borrow” a set of pipes to play like maybe one could do in borrowing, say, a flute. Each set of bagpipes has its own “temperament” that the player has to discover and manage. (I went to a college that has bagpipers in the marching band — you can actually study the bagpipes there!)

OK, so according to Wikipedia (I know, may not be completely reliable), there are about 3 AND A HALF MILLION Muslims in the United States.
So since EACH member of the U.S. House represents about 650,000 U.S. citizens, that works out to ONLY 6 Muslims House members, tops — NOT the 30 that CAIR wants. And in realistic terms, NO justice member of the Supreme Court, let alone the 2 that CAIR wants.
This pronouncement by CAIR’s Awad is, at best, projection — or at worst, a literal declaration of the REAL goal of CAIR and of Islam — to subjugate the United States to Allah.
In any case, DO NOT dismiss what CAIR is telegraphing here.
And by the way, I didn’t read in the CAIR news conference ANY reference to the behavior of ILHAN “OMAR” ELMI. Unless she got an earful from her local Imam (which I doubt since she’s too valuable as a high-profile “asset” to CAIR for the time being), they gave her a pass.

Cuppa Covfefe

Good points. Those CAIR candidates need to be identified, and then actively opposed by those in their districts (or wherever).
The Moslems work very slowly and patiently, almost invisibly, until they get around five percent of the population. Even if it takes GENERATIONS!
Then they start rabble rousing and demonstrating, demanding “equal rights”, “religious freedom”, and things like separation of pork from other meats (Halal versus Haram). I’ve seen it over here; and many, MANY grocery chains have knuckled under to them.
Over in the UK, there are many Subway restaurants that no longer serve ham or other pork products! Here, it’s all but impossible to get PORK Pepperoni on a pizza – it’s either beef, or (YUCK!) turkey pepperoni or salami… And “die Italianer” (the Italian pizza shop on the corner) are being run out of business by the Kebap Shop and “Dönerbuden”, the little holes-in-the-wall that serve (sometimes rancid) meat roasted on a spit…
Well, SPIT on that…
Don’t let it happen to the USA. Keep creeping Sharia out – let them creep back from whence they came!!!

After US bishops debate downplaying abortion, Bp. Strickland leads rosary outside
BALTIMORE, Maryland, November 14, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — Outside the hotel where the U.S. bishops convened for their annual fall meeting, Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas led a group of more than two dozen pro-life Catholics in praying the rosary.
As a cold, damp wind blew off the harbor just a few steps away, Bishop Strickland knelt on the brick pavement, remaining on his knees the entire time as he sought God’s intervention to renew the Church.

D.P. what would you do if your local bishop was one of those downplaying the importance of defending the unborn?

Deplorable Patriot

I would be very surprised. I mean, he kicked the Girl Scouts out of the archdiocesan schools. The thing is…he’s very mild mannered and not prone to dramatic acts. I cannot see him NOT defending the unborn and those who are unable to speak for themselves. He’s a pretty serious type II Diabetic and cancer survivor.
It’s the others I’ve known…Sheridan, Naumann, etc., that I’m just sitting here wondering where the heck they are. I mean I attended their elevation ceremony. Stika in Knoxville is the other one I knew in the past. He’s ill, so he didn’t travel, but even he’s not finding his spine on some things.
As usual, it’s going to be the laity that fixes it.

Deplorable Patriot

We so need more of the Stricklands. I know 3-4 bishops who were there, saw a picture of one I’ve known since I was a little kid, before he went to Rome for the theology degrees. I’m VERY disappointed in them.

iirc, most past presidents have replaced most or all US Ambassadors upon occupying the Oval Office
If the role of the ambassador is to represent the president’s foreign policy, then replacement is not only legal, but prudent.

No such thing as “routine emergency surgery” – she likely has a blockage, caused by tumor. Her ability to withstand more surgery, or for enough healthy tissue to be resected is doubtful. I know, shouldn’t feel this way about her – but I consider her having made evil decisions on the Court. Not just against the sanctity of life – for all human beings – but against the country itself. She violated her Oath of Office – to defend the Constitution of the United States. Ginsberg has made rulings from the bench which has allowed our enemies to harm the USA.
Unforgivable. Ginsberg is one of those people AG Barr is actually talking about. The insidious, activist judiciary.

I do not think so, Ginsber DID miss opening arguments. This may be a “leak” that we were NOT supposed to see. The MSM WILL have a gag order on ANY bad news regarding Ginsberg.
We will ALL know soon, as I say below, Trump has people watching…they will NOT be able to hide it for long.

ladypenquin

Sorry, just found that out. They must have had wishful thinking.
Still, she is ill, her stamina will be decreasing. Surgical options decrease. Her diagnosis is dire.

Nothing in my eyes. I’m not surprised.

prognosticatasaurusrex

NOW does the rush to “impeachment” and this “inquiry” make sense. You bet your hat it does! Ol Ruthie must be about to go to her infernal “reward” and they did this with this SHAM to try and keep Trump from naming a THIRD Justice. I will bet my gopher suit on it. They are BANKING on a show sham “impeachment” to be able to STOP or delegitimization of the NEXT nominee Amiee Coney Barret.
They KNOW they can’s stop her by “Kavavanaughing” her ( even though she is a Republican nominee, she is STILL a woman, and they DARE not go there, and from ALL reports she is HIGHLY qualified, AND clean as driven snow. ), so they hope to STOP Trump from nominating her because he is “impeached” and therefore not legitimate, completely IGNORING that he JUST LIKE BILL CLINTON, will NOT be removed. Bill Clinton nominated Ginsberg AFTER he was impeached. It would also serve to “delegitimize Barrett” in their eyes.
They THINK that they can “intimidate Trump and or McConnell into NOT getting Barret confirmed. THIS is their play. Their REAL play. They and we ALL know there was ZERO chance of removing Trump in this farce. This is ALL about stopping Barrett, and hoping to weaken Trump enough that he would lose in 2020 so a leftist loon could take over Ginsberg’s seat. They THINK they will be either able to weaken Trump enough to lose, or they plan to CHEAT MASSIVELY to beat him.
ALL to save Ginsberg’s “seat” Now the urgency ALL makes sense, the “secrecy makes sense, the FARCE trials make sense. They WILL vote to “impeach Trump, KNOWING he will NOT be removed. This is ALL about saving that seat. It WILL happen BEFORE Christmas. It HAS TOO. My bet, Ginsberg will NOT see the new year, thus the URGENCY and FARCE in a hurry DESPITE TONSE of exculpatory evidence.
THIS is why Schiff had to be “appointed” to do the railroad. Nadler is too weak and INCOMPETANT, he would take too much time, and NOT do the railroad “properly”. What a shit storm.
Hey Adam and Nancy, nice TRY. I am on to you, which means OTHERS are or soon will be. You scheme will FAIL. See you put your eggs in the basket that 1. Ruth would even MAKE it to the new year, and 2. That you will not be exposed.
Q told us ALL months ago. He told us of the Storm, he told us of Ginsberg, he told us of your EVIL, and he told us of the Great Awakening. In the END God and therefore WE win, which means YOU and EVIL LOSE.
You will be wrong on BOTH counts. The Lord sets the hour of people’s death, and my bet is he has plans for Ruth that WILL crush yours. You will NOT be able to HIDE it when she passes, though you WILL try, you CAN’T. Trump has “watchers” and they WILL out it.
Secondly, Barr JUST gave the “signal’ Horowitz on deck, my bet NEXT WEEK. Then IMMEDIATELY followed by Durham and Barr INDICTING the first coup perpetrators. See, Adam and Nancy, even if you DON’T get indicted then, your gave is OVER. Know why? BOTH of you are Gang of 8 members, you KNEW, and you not only did NOTHING to stop it, you ENABLED the first coup, ESPECIALLY you Adam. When the first coup is revealed, BOTH of you, and this BOGUS farce of an inquiry HAVE TO GO, or, IT WILL BE OBVIOUS that this is TREASON. In other words, you BOTH are F*CKED.
You will LOSE your SCOTUS seat. You will LOSE your first coup friends. You will be EXPOSED. You will LOSE your current FARCE coup attempt. You will then LOSE your power. Your party will LOSE the House. You have NO chance at the Senate. You have NO chance at the Presidency, Trump WILL win in a landslide.
Then, Finally, sometime in 2020, you WILL be indicted, you WILL lose your Congressional seats, you WILL go to prison, you MAY even meet the business end of a 6′ rope over that ominous 8′ sudden drop, you SHOULD, but you may just be “allowed” to live out your remaining time on Earth KNOWING that it was YOU and YOUR party, and YOUR actions that DESTROYED the Democratic Party forever, lost a super majority in the House and Senate, and lost a GENERATION of Circuit, Appeals, and SCOTUS judiciary.
IT may be better to let you live to see the great resurgence of America brought about by the man that you tried to destroy, but who will instead go down as the GREATEST President in US History. May you live forever in that ignominy.
Tic tock BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!. Show time !

I’ve heard this info is wrong, or at least not backed up. Still, the woman has a grave diagnosis, and poor prognosis. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME – a short time with that diagnosis and her recent stent surgery.

prognosticatasaurusrex

Oh, it’s RIGHT. It all makes sense now, right down to the Yovanovich “testimony” and the “breathless” reporting, “crying” mean tweet intimidation, and standing ovation at the end. It was ALL scripted. If this had been another snoozefest like Wed, THE news would have been Ginsberg having a “procedure” (known and scheduled my bet) BANK on it.
This was a SCRIPTED event, right down to the crying. Schiff KNEW Trump would live tweet it, he ALWAYS does, therefore he interjected a “drama” so the MSM had SOMETHING else to report.
I see the game, and if you step back, you will too. Think, WHY is this happening? It has ZERO chance of success. It is ONLY making Trump STRONGER. Even IF it succeeded (it WON’T) Pence would be there.
NO, Lady, THIS is ALL about Ginsberg. WATCH. she will NOT make the ball drop. Then the objective will be CLEAR to everyone.

ladypenquin

Thanks, Rex. The tweet did enable me to do some thinking on this – and it leads exactly to what you said – it is about RBG. I knew back in August that she’s on a 3-6 month max. They can’t go in and do another stent, though I guess they could try… No matter what she is in the end stage, it’s simply a matter of how long one spends in that stage.
While giving sympathy for her suffering, nothing else about RBG is acceptable – she has caused much harm in her rulings.
She violated her Oath of Office – and substituted her political ideology for sound Constitutional rulings. She lied to get on the Court.
The Left will go crazy. But they’re doing that now, and POTUS AND McConnell are going to seat another Justice on the SC.

prognosticatasaurusrex

YEP. It is the only thing that makes sense!

kalbokalbs

Regarding the “procedure” RBG reportedly had a few days ago. Do we know where the procedure was done, if she is currently hospitalized or at home?
Did some searches. If above information is out there, it is IMO, well hidden from the public.

…she will NOT make the ball drop.
😉 Another Justice, Amy, shifts the Court moar Right.

Adam Schiff Whistleblower Impeachment Based on a Tweet from Poland?
Look at the date in the above screen-shot. Read the summary again after you pick yourself up from off the floor.
Adam Schiff and the Democratic Party are basing an impeachment of the President of the United States on…wait for it….a tweet?
This particular tweet happened one day after the phone call between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskiy. So, quick question- how does a Ukrainian in Poland know about the one particular in the phone call any of the news outlets didn’t know until late September?

UC Berkeley instructor calls rural Americans ‘bad people’ who deserve ‘uncomfortable’ lives
A UC Berkeley graduate student and instructor took to Twitter to shame “rural Americans” and those who aren’t “pro-city.”
Jackson Kernion, who has reportedly taught at least 11 philosophy courses at the California university, made the comments last Wednesday.
“I unironically embrace the bashing of rural Americans,” Kernion wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions…and we should shame people who aren’t pro-city.”
Kernion started going after rural citizens, saying they should have higher health care, pay more in taxes and be forced to live an “uncomfortable” life for rejecting “efficient” city life, Campus Reform reported.

Maybe all the “bad” country folk should stop supplying the SJW snowflake city slickers (slackers?), and let them starve to death… We’ll see who’s making bad life decisions and being efficient then…

Did you see the expanded picture? Good ole Lindsey is right there too. They were busy trying to whip up a war with Russia
https://newspunch.com/mccain-graham-ukraine-russia/ (Feb 2017) video at link
A video has surfaced online in which warmongers John McCain and Lindsey Graham are caught meeting with the Ukraine military, encouraging them to launch an offensive against Russia and restart hostilities, all the while describing Russia as the “aggressor” that must “pay a heavier price.”
Lindsey Graham delivers an incendiary speech in the video, egging on the Ukranian troops to re-start hostilities with Russia.
“Your fight is our fight, 2017 will be the year of offense. All of us will go back to Washington and we will push the case against Russia. Enough of a Russian aggression. It is time for them to pay a heavier price.”
John McCain was no less provocative:
“I believe you will win. I am convinced you will win and we will do everything we can to provide you with what you need to win.”

I’m borrowing posters voter analysis from GWP with this post to put things in possible prospective. Not sure if its right or wrong. Still looks like they are stealing another one based on the two statewide election side by side comparison.
“With 98.5% of the vote in, Edwards got 17% more votes than he did in 2015 when he won with 56% of the vote, while Rispone got 43% more votes than Vitter did in 2015, yet it still wasn’t enough. Without Trump’s appearances, it wouldn’t have been even close.”
