Yay! Thank you :)

Thanks for the soup recipe. I bought ham hocks and beans this am, so will be well stocked for real food when the Trump Train rolls down the rails the next few days.

[Publius]

It’s easy to make, sticks to the ribs and freezes well for future eating.

PUBLIUS’ BEANS AND HAM HOCKS
2 cups dried beans
2 leeks, white part only
1 stalk celery, minced
1 carrot, minced
1/3 cup celery leaves, minced
6 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
1 lb smoked ham hocks
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/8 tsp mustard seed
1/3 cup dry sherry
1 tsp salt

In a large saucepan cover the beans, rinsed and picked over, with 6 cups of water and let stand overnight.

Add 4 cups of water, bring to a boil over moderate heat, and simmer the beans, covered, for 1-1/2 hours. Mash the beans with a potato masher if desired.

In a kettle, cook the leeks (well washed), celery, carrot, celery leaves in butter until the vegetables are softened. Add flour, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the beans, including the liquid, ham hocks, 2 cups of water, minced parsley and mustard seed. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, and simmer, covered, for 3-4 hours. Add water if necessary to keep the beans covered.

Transfer the hocks with a slotted spoon to a bowl, and remove the meat from the bones. Stir in the meat, sherry and salt, and heat moderately, stirring all the while, until it is all mixed in.

I forgot to buy leeks...arrrgh.

The watters world interview was cute. Soft ball but very human. Jesse asked non political and very human questions.

Gonna stay here for the debate. Ping your friends
We wont get into their petty arguments
Here!

LOVED Jesse’s interview with Trump!

[PJBankard]

Uhm, not a bad idea. I was thinking of creating a new Trump Live Thread just for the debate. A vanity under General Chat. Makes it harder to reference later if we forgot that the debate was under this thread.

[hoosiermama]

Add debate or abcdebate to key words. Then we can find it

[Amntn]

TTTT!!

[hoosiermama]

Also added “debate 647” so we know where it started after we find it

[CottonBall]

Thank you for the ping, Amntn

I was looking for the debate thread just now.

Is this so Cruz fanatics don’t disrupt us?

[Amntn]

I think so. Hoosiermama asked me to ping everyone to this thread.

Great idea for whomever came up with it ;)

[entropy12]

I missed it! :(
Is there a youtube link?

[Jane Austen]

And jobs and the economy. He knows how to create jobs and how the economy works unlike that empty suit Bubble Boy Rubio.

[Guenevere]

Me Tooooo!!!!

[Jane Austen]

Sounds interesting. I have to look it up.

[tennmountainman]

The Cruzbots are really on edge tonight.
They sense what is coming their way Tuesday.

[hoosiermama]

Repeated at 8 I think
