The more the Iraqi's fear we will pull out the less likely they are to join forces with US troops. Who could blame them.
As far as Fred Thompson's looking sick, I noticed too that he looked washed out, pale. But so did Wallace and Kristol and what's her name. The lighting was overdone, imho.
I caught FRed on with Chris Wallace this morning, one of the rare occasions I did not immediately switch the channel or mute the sound as I now do for all talking head shows and their commenters..
He has warts, so do all of the current hounds in the hunt.
I hope he does enter the race ,
America has survived worse ...
which seems to be what many forget.. in their own partisan way. ;-)
Why not?..(he asked, perplexed..)
Thomas Jefferson is "credited with introducing macaroni" to the US and with coming up with the Mac and Cheese recipe as we know it here in the States. Here's a link to the Thomas Jefferson recipe.
I've not tried Paula Deen's Mac & Cheese, but it looks like a good version of the classic recipe. Alton Brown's recipe looks more interesting, though:

|||||||
1/2 pound elbow macaroni Topping: 3 tablespoons butter In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente. While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf. Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese. Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving. Remember to save leftovers for fried Macaroni and Cheese. |
He also adds variations
Next Day Mac and Cheese "Toast"
A search on FoodTV's web site turns up 80 variations for Mac and Cheese.
Sandra Lee, the Semi Homemade lady, offers up two variations when preparing packaged Mac and Cheese
Mexican-Style Macaroni and Cheese
Italian-style Macaroni and Cheese
In both cases she makes the "blue box" stuff, then puts it in a casserole dish and adds seasoning packages and extra cheese then bakes for 5 minutes to melt the extra cheese. I saw her do this and she was emphasizing that you could do this with almost any seasoning package that sounds interesting to you. In the States we have McCormick's, who has lots of "seasoning mixes," and Lipton is now Knorr-Lipton, where they have a lot of "soup mixes" which they primarily sell as "recipe classics." Some of those might be real interesting. Some might be awful.
That is good to hear...we need to help them help themselves get free.
Now...we need to figure out the best way...and I am pretty sure that somewhere, Prs. Bush has some people tasked to do just that...
Do your own research. I bet it wasn't veto proof.
Yes, hopefully she will.
I am hoping that there will also be a LIVE thread on the day of the protests...so we can be kept up on what is happening.
Not if it is a matter of principle. I wonder what the vote might have been had the President announced beforehand that he was going to veto it.
Oh...yes, I do remember....and I also have the same problem when shopping.
I'm the exception I guess. As long as Libby is pardoned by Bush, I don't care about the timing. Let's see what Libby's sentence is in May.
Some one should ask Biden since it's his opinion that Iraq be split along political and sectarian lines would he like to see the same done here. Tell him we have the 2000 and 2004 red/blue maps to use as a starting point. Each region would be fully autonomous, free to set up whatever form of government they wish and unable to enforce it's edicts on the other regions. Let's see-we can call the Northeast enclave New Camelot, the Midwest enclave Barakistan, and the West Coast enclave the Counter Culture Commonwealth of the Pacific or C.C.C.P. for short. The rest of us will welcome likeminded individuals fleeing the Liberal hoards with open arms especially the military. They would be free to pick where they choose to serve and take whatever equipment (planes, ships, tanks, and everything else) assigned to them with them.
Let's see if I make it through the 17th. You may be called in for emergency posting that Tuesday! ;*)
My mother used to make a big ole baking dish of homemade macaroni and cheese and it was good...but, I liked it when she took the leftovers and fried it until crispy, and I would put ketchup on it....YUMMY!!!
Well I said it...somewhere up thread. But hey, how about the REPUBLICANS mention it once in a while?
No wait....lack of a spine.
Although I agree with your sentiment, I always try to remember that there likely are Republicans, maybe even many of them, who are saying the things we want them to. The thing is the DBM doesn't have to play their clips or invite them on these shows so unless we go out and dig the information out from other sources we think they aren't doing it.
Again, I don't doubt that there are all too many RINOs more worried about covering their backsides than doing what they should (as in your encounter with the GOP organization over your article), but I we have to try to find and trumpet those that do stand up for our issues when they do.
GREAT POINT!!!
Of course Biden would say that "we" aren't fighting like the Shiites and Sunni...but, I might disagree.
I think it is getting to the point where the Dems are becoming an "enemy" within...and I wouldn't mind them living in their own "country".
