Hypothetical Scenario/C-burg P.O.

So I spent the weekend making spinach soup, squash soup, 7 quarts of chili (that is not quite done because it is missing something and I haven't figured out what that something is , yet) Also did some baking. Lost the nigella seed I purchased just to try with my squash soup, so I substituted with a little mustard a little cumin, a little ground pepper medley~~ the problem with my cooking is when a recipe goes wrong, I never know if it was the recipe or all of my littles of this n' that. Pieces of my big food processor went missing, as did the rubber gasket to the blender, so I spent far too long pouring small portions of spinach almost soup into a cheap 1.5 cup processor we picked up for small jobs. (Soup is NOT a small job.) It leaks and is worth every bit of that $7 we paid for it. Later, I remembered I have an immersion blender. /facepalm More beer bread slated for today, along with some zucchini bread/muffins I am quite excited about (I *know* it isn't in season and, yet, I still don't care.) I have plans to slather the beer bread with a lovely mix of cream cheese and apple jalapeno jelly (DH brought home a jar from Gypsie, thinking we had never had it before~~ in reality *he* has never had it before, but several jars have been in this house.) We normally make cookies from scratch, but I picked up a box of Barefoot Contessa mix to try. I also have so many tabs open to different baked good recipes my PC is running through sand (add to that one page of Goodwill auctions and a thank you to BG.) As for the tip about cream cheese, well, I didn't see until now. Like I need another excuse to eat more cream cheese! (I will certainly try it and get back to you.) Y'all stay content.  (Monday Dec 21 | post #12394)

Franklin County tests state open records law: 2 failures out of...

Due Process put it beautifully. Someone above questioned why those seeking information don't pay for copies, I believe it may be because some local governments have shady folks in them that would try and charge excessive fees for copying, which would prevent the average person from seeking information. A similar reasoning would apply to no identification required ~~ fear of retaliation. What kind of society would this be if you had to be rich and worry for your safety when trying to find out how our public officials operate? <insert Soviet Russia joke here>  (Monday Dec 21 | post #16)

Ah, but I'm making two different soups, both of which call for double cream. AND I use a mixture of milk and butter as a substitute for double cream. Beer is for drinking while I cook the food, unless chili is involved ~ beer is nice in (and with) chili.  (Friday Dec 18 | post #12312)

Editorial: Perception of favoritism undercuts feud probe

"...Strange, then, that he felt compelled to tell one of our reporters this week she "will answer to it" if she makes "any implications about (Sarver) being biased or unfair." He said that, did he? I wonder if he is going to make his wife 'answer to it' since she works with Mrs Wadel (according to another poster.) Might I suggest that every conversation with this guy be recorded from now on ('course, you really should be doing this anyway, especially when the Wadels are crying that they've been painted in a bad light...when McVitty didn't even get an interview.) :/ imjussayin  (Friday Dec 18 | post #20)

Letter to the Editor: Unfair to single out sex offenders

Your previous link also only applies to people who commit crimes in state. We live on the Maryland border; Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, New Jersey ~~ all just a hop, skip and a jump away. Criminals move around, particularly when their old neighbors know all of their business... then they become our problem. I absolutely want to know about the sex offenders that live nearby... I also want to find out by ways OTHER than gossip that the teenager who beats the **** out of his mom as been allowed (yet again) to move back home. I want to know if there is a meth head that lives down the street. Because I can teach my child how to avoid situations that are ideal for a sex offender, but it is a heck of a lot harder to protect him from the nutjob with rage issues that snaps after beating his mom to death and goes on a spree since he figures he has nothing to lose and mommy keeps a house full of guns...or the junkie who has no fear and bloodlust.  (Friday Dec 18 | post #69)

Old ladies are foul tempered creatures, but that doesn't mean you should poke them with sticks. Let them be mean in peace.  (Thursday Dec 17 | post #12288)
