((HUGS))Good afternoon, AZ. How's it going?
Bacon, onions and corn.
Ah, I don't use corn, thanks.
My right & left brain are at odds with each other! LOL
Good to see you too Feather. I hope someone who knows them sees this and passes it along.
I also use canned milk before thickening it.
I know milk and corn are not in everyone's recipe. I developed that preference as the years went on.
You're mean!
LOL
LOL Mine too. ;)
It's not so much the milk and corn, it's the starch issue. Potatoes and corn both starchy veggies-for me anyway.
Canned milk is a cooks friend.
For today, some History.
Ma, look at 1971 for Alaska.
In 1845, the U.S. Congress decided that all national
elections would take place on the first Tuesday following
the first Monday in November.
In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman in U.S.
history to receive a medical degree.
In 1922, at Toronto General Hospital, 14-year-old Canadian
Leonard Thompson became the first person to receive an
insulin injection as treatment for diabetes.
In 1948, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower said he could not accept a
presidential nomination from either party. Four years later,
he ran as a Republican and was elected 34th president of the
United States.
In 1968, the USS Pueblo was seized in the Sea of Japan by
North Korea, which claimed the ship was on a spy mission.
The crew was held for 11 months before being released on
Dec. 22, 1968.
In 1971, the temperature at Prospect Creek, Alaska, dropped
to 80 degrees below zero, the lowest temperature recorded in
the United States.
In 1973, President Richard Nixon announced that U.S. troops
would cease fighting in Vietnam at midnight Jan. 27.
In 1980, President Jimmy Carter reinstated the Selective
Service System.
In 1988, Sandinista missiles downed a cargo plane that was
dropping U.S.-financed supplies to Contra rebels in
southeastern Nicaragua. Four crewmen were killed.
In 1991, Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said heavy bombing had destroyed Iraq's two operating
nuclear reactors and damaged chemical facilities.
Also in 1991, Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady asked
Congress for another $80 billion toward the bailout of the
nation's troubled savings and loan industry.
In 1993, convicted "diet doc" killer Jean Harris was freed,
discharged from a New York state hospital after heart
surgery and with a grant of clemency from the governor.
In 1997, Madeline Albright was sworn into office to become
the first woman U.S. secretary of State.
In 2003, Pope John Paul II lobbied European governments to
officially recognize the European Union's Christian roots.
In 2004, Senate Democrats demanded an investigation of U.S.
government dealings with Halliburton Co. following
revelations of kickbacks on Iraq contracts.
Also in 2004, Bob Keeshan, the easy-going, bushy-mustached
actor who created the classic children's television show
"Captain Kangaroo," died at the age of 76.
In 2005, Johnny Carson, host of TV's "Tonight Show" for
30 years and a powerful presence in American entertainment,
died of emphysema at age 79.
Also in 2005, the Pentagon reportedly created a new
espionage arm that gave U.S. Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld broad authority over clandestine operations abroad.
And, Viktor Yushchenko was sworn in as Ukraine's president,
ending a tumultuous election and promising a period of
radical, liberal reforms.
I understand.
That's why I don't cook potato soup that often.
