*Senate debate continues on the START treaty...

Tensions mount on the Korean peninsula as S. Korea plans to go ahead with maneuvers...

And storms rage on the West Coast causing landslides, floods, and much damage....

*I'm a little out-of-touch with the news so if any of this is inaccurate or not strictly current, I apologize...

GOOD MORING ALL AND LYSIE!!!!! Oh times have been busy with D with haer last minute gifts and yep, I tagged alone most ot the time, to baby sit while she was in the store(S), no way did I want to fight those crowds, it was my easy way out.

There I was, all set to watch the moon last night but as expected, it was a slow process and I went to sleep. I am sure we will have reruns of it all day today but did want to watch it.

TJ is loving his first year of school and day by day he learns, prints words, it reading a little and I think his problem is staying on course with his reading, he gets side tracked pretty easy. Caleb is picking up from him in a lot of ways and wants to learn to read bad, he is on his way, positive in all he does.

I woke up this morning with a desire to have grits, think I shall depart and start the task of getting some,

Sorry I have been missing...not use to being so busy...

Steve Landesburg, actor, age 65, has died from cancer.

[lysie]

Too young.

[lysie]

I would love your recipe.

[Jemian]

Your wish is my command!

Copied directly from my grandmother's recipe:

3 cups ground almonds
1 cup sugar
4 cups cake flour
1½ tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
1 grated lemon [peel]
1 grated orange [peel]
¼ tsp. of each: cinnamon, Allspice, Clover [sic],
¼& lb. butter. [I find I use MUCH more butter, general ¾ lb. Also, it needs to be melted.
Further, I use about 1 lb. of jam.]

Mix Amonds and sugar with flour and Baking powder in large bowl. Add orange, lemon and spices.

Make a little hole in the middle and brake egg into it. Mix one at the time. Add melted butter. Mix well.

Divide dough into three parts. Take one part on floured board and roll out to a little larger in size than bottom of cake pan. [Grandma meant a springform pan about 9" in diameter and about 4" tall.] It will form a little ridge. Press gently in lightly greased cake pan. [This is the bottom layer. After rolling the dough on the board, I slice the layer into four parts, like a pizza, and transfer each part to the bottom of the cake pan. The edges should go up each side about one inch.] Press ridge against pan. With a spoon spread jam (either strawberry, or raspberry or current) [This is the first time Grandma mentions JAM in the recipe! HA!] Not too thick ( not too thin either). Take sec. [-ond] part of dough. Repeat as with first part.

With third part, roll out ½-inch thick sausages [for you lurkers, NOT REAL MEAT SAUSAGES. Grandma meant to roll the dough out as before, but this time slice it into strips about ½ inches wide.], lay over jam in criss-cross fashion. Lay one piece around cake pan as a boarder [sic]. Make design with fork. Brush well beaten egg.

Bake in moderate heated oven. 350 degrees [Fahrenheit] or less for one hour.

Before cutting store for at least 24 hrs.

This was the result of a stupid Dem judge

[Jemian]

Yes. I don’t quite understand the “commuted to time served.” Aiken is innocent and should be declared such.

[Bitwhacker]

I don’t think the Jersey Gov. office has the power to overturn a conviction — this was the only option Christie had to get the guy out of prison. If you read about the case, the actual details were iffy, but he never should have been tried, and that judge was one of the ones Christie didn’t retain this year..;-))

[Jemian]

Thank you. It had me puzzled. I’ve also learned, in the past few minutes, that Aiken’s lawyer asked for a commutation and not a pardon. That could be the reason (pardons not being possible).

Thanks, Bit.

[The Raven]

It looks like after these libs screwed up the North they moved South. Won’t be long before they screw up Utah and Texas

[Holding Our Breath]

Wish I could!

I'm rallying the troops for Wednesday night. I hope I make it til then.

I was driving home from the mall today when I pulled up behind a car that had a bumper sticker on it that read 2012 GONE and in the 'o' was the Obama sign. When I raised a thumbs up, the driver raised one back to me! He also had a thank GOd for Fox news stiker.

[Holding Our Breath]

Gosh, I’m late to the party again. It looks like you’re all out of punch! HAHA

[Jemian]

That bumber sticker is significant where you live. Tanks for sharing that.

[lysie]

I’m honored to have your Grandma’s recipe. Thank you.

[Jemian]

I’m watching “Life With Father.” The main character, in reference to something the NYC is doing, says, “Why did God make so many damn fools and democrats?” LOL!
