Cooking is easy. I have a bar stool so my back doesn’t get stressed. I stated cooking the day after I got home. Mostly things to freeze. I make up my own TV dinners. Doing that next today. Will do up a pan of 6 veggie burgers. mashed potatoes, Scratch MAC and veggie baked beans. Will make a sauce gravy for burgers & potatoes of onion gravy n Rotel. Sounds weird but actually very good .
It’s nice to pull a meal out of freezer that’s better than Stouffers or Marie c -and definitely more reasonable

John F. Kennedy was the target of a cabal throughout his entire short-lived presidency. Whether that cabal actually “pulled the trigger” may never be known.
There is a cabal that has been marshalled against President Trump since the day he was elected. By ballot box, jury box, or cartridge box, they are going the get him.
They think.

New Jersey militiamen skirmish with British Patrol at Howell’s Ferry
__________________________________________________________
On this day in history, December 20, 1776, New Jersey militiamen skirmish with a British patrol at Howell’s Ferry, one of numerous such incidents that occurred as the British army occupied central New Jersey during the American Revolution. The Continental Army had been driven out of New York and across New Jersey by the British, but George Washington, after crossing the Delaware River into Pennsylvania, had cleverly commandeered every single boat for seventy miles up and down the river, preventing the British from crossing.
British Commander Sir William Howe decided it was time to winter his army, instead of pursuing Washington’s ragtag army, which he believed was all but defeated anyway. Howe sent many of his troops back to New York for winter quarters and left the remaining troops scattered across New Jersey in various outposts, at places such as Bordentown, Trenton, Princeton, New Brunswick and Burlington.
The citizens of New Jersey immediately began an uprising, harassing the occupiers in every way they could. The small towns were easy enough for the British garrisons to control, many of which were virtually ghost towns, having been evacuated by the citizens when the British arrived. Controlling the countryside, however, was an entirely different matter. British soldiers going out on foraging expeditions, reconnaissance missions or with dispatches to other outposts could be attacked by New Jersey militia anywhere along the highways and byways. British casualties quickly began to mount.
Colonel Johann Rall was the senior officer stationed at Trenton. His men were being harassed so badly from the countryside that he had to send 100 men just to get a message safely through to Princeton which was only 13 miles away! On the 20th, Rall sent a patrol to Howell’s Ferry, four miles upriver from Trenton. They were met by 150 Hunterdon County militiamen who had come across the river from their headquarters at Yardley’s Ferry on the Pennsylvania side. The Americans lost a few men in the skirmish, but this event and numerous others show what the British were facing. Rall could barely control the territory around him.
Rall’s men at Trenton were harassed to the point that he commanded them to stay dressed and armed at all times, even while sleeping. They were constantly awakened by rumors, alarms or actual attacks to the point that they were tired, scared and worn out. Morale was extremely low. In this condition, Colonel Rall received news on the 25th from two deserters and from a spy in the American camp that Washington was planning an attack on Trenton early on the morning of the 26th. Rall could hardly believe it because he considered Washington’s army to be defeated and in retreat, but the recent harassment in the countryside made him wary.
Contrary to the commonly held viewpoint that the Hessian garrison at Trenton was drunk on Christmas Eve and therefore unprepared for Washington’s attack, Rall’s men were at the height of alarm all day on the 25th, prepared and waiting for an American attack. Indeed, Rall was confident that, if an attack were to come, it would easily be put down. If this is so, what caused them to put their guard down and be captured, nearly 1,000 of them, early the next morning in the First Battle of Trenton? The answer - A severe snowstorm started in the evening that was so bad the Hessians began to relax. There was no way an army could march through that snow! Their guard was put down to the point that even patrols for the next morning were cancelled and the Hessians went soundly to bed, only to be surrounded and arrested en masse early the next morning!

Lots of conservative influencers seem too confident the Supreme Court will overturn the Colorado Supreme Court.
They keep forgetting: the Supreme Court gave them the Bostock ruling and not just the Dobbs ruling.
Kavanaugh & Roberts & Barrett won’t side with Trump.

MUST WATCH:
On @NEWSMAX moments ago, @RonDeSantis
was asked by the show host if he is going to stand in solidarity with @VivekGRamaswamy
and also remove himself from the GOP primary ballot in Colorado since President Trump has been removed from the ballot.
He said NO, and didn’t even condemn the egregious act of ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
DeSantis continues to become more unlikable every time he opens his mouth.
Shame on @RonDeSantis! #Trump2024

When they impeached Trump, his polls went up
When they indicted Trump, his polls went up a lot more
Now they’re removing Trump from state ballots and threatening to arrest him before the election
What do you think his polls are going to do?

Game over.
I think I loathe DeSwamptis as much or possibly more than the left. He is such a snake.

Interesting timing for the CO Supreme Court to rule Trump is disqualified b/c of “insurrection” just as new J6 tapes are released & evidence is exposed that the FBI, DOJ, Pelosi, Schumer, and McConnell coordinated to set the entire thing up?
Gotta boost that narrative!

@thevivafrei
1) Trump was never convicted of “insurrection”
2) No one involved in Jan. 6 was convicted of “insurrection”
3) Trump was never charged with “insurrection”
4) No one involved in Jan. 6 was charged with “insurrection”
5) Trump was acquitted on the 2nd impeachment on charges that related to the events of Jan. 6
6) The 14th Amendment Sec. 3 does not apply to the President.
That is all anyone needs to understand.

I can’t stand him, or his snotty Barbie doll wife, either.
She can be downright nasty.
She wants to be First lady SOOOOOO bad!
She ain’t fit to wear Melanias Louboutins!
LOL
You are a marvelous cook!
You know yourself best, I guess!
Just don’t over do it!

Desiring cookie making input
Although I cook a lot, baking is not one of my skills. For entertaining I have a couple very easy desserts that seem complicated but aren’t
So I’m going to be making chocolate chip cookies. Been at least a Decade since I’ve made them. Going to add walnuts and M & Ms.
Found this recipe
https://ohsweetbasil.com/the-best-christmas-cookie-for-families-mm-chocolate-chip-cookies-recipe/
My question- when you make them do you use a different recipe? Any tips? Or warnings. Because I’m adding the walnuts extra, would I need to modify /add more of other ingredients?
I can count the times I’ve made cookies on one hand.
Isn’t she awful, Ms.B.? When I see that diva nattering on about her ill-behaved children and life with “the governor” I could honestly be sick. To me, it is sooooo obvious that she has pushed him into this. She steered him into this because of her own narcissist ambitions. I’m enjoying watching them crash and burn. Casey doesn’t even come close to Melania in class, elegance, brains, beauty or husbands.
Cookies aren’t my thing, Dolly, unless you mean eating them. Sorry.
Did you see this response to Vivek:

You won’t have to because we will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand.”
Looks like there Maybe at least one other option
“Because I’m adding the walnuts extra, would I need to modify /add more of other ingredients?”
Not unless you had so many walnuts that the dough becomes crumbly. As long as you can still form it together, either by rolling into a sphere or scooping it out with a tablespoon, it will be fine. It might look a little lumpy but the dough will melt and spread out in the oven. and everything will be yummy. Good choice on the walnuts! I think adding dark chocolate or nuts to anything turns it into health food. Sort of
