So I am making chili this week, your recipes used, not sure which but it requires a slow cooker.

Only I got TWO can openers but neither work. Have you ever tried to open a can without a can opener?

I banged with a hammer, the top, the bottom, the sides. Nary a hole.

Got tomatoes and sauce all the hell over the kitchen.

One of those can openers I bought from Avon. Who would buy a can opener from Avon?

Well it had a cute strainer and it magically opened the cans from the side with no sharp edges.

Except it didn’t work.

Anyway, Governor Christie of NJ gave a pretty good interview. I don’t like him but he sounded sharp, I’ll give him that.

George Will needs to go away.

Christie has zero chance of getting the nomination. There are around 10 now that have no reason for wasting our time and money. Fox has become unwatchable since it is nothing more that bash Trump 24.

I think I still might have a John Wayne somewhere around the house for just such emergencies.

What's a John Wayne? It is a small can opener provided with K rations (or was that C rations?). Not an appliance you want to rely on daily, but handy in those areas where your entire hygienic environment is outdoors or when electric devices stop working.

Hi Fishtalk! Just read about your can-opener debacle. I love my Pampered Chef opener and bought as gifts for my mom and mother-in-law.

You need an old military P38 opener. About the size of a quarter and lasts forever.
