Well, we all love to cook out and pork is always good
but for 9-11 it seems to me it should be bitter herbs,
burnt pork and for desert, revenge, best served cold.
9-11 NEVER FORGET.
That's the purpose of this thread and the problem we have in today's world - far too many have forgotten and apparently don't care one way or the other about the victims, the intent of the terrorists, that trials or punishment have not yet been meted (with an administration that cannot even bear to utter the words "terrorist" "Muslim" "Islam" or "jihad," nor has the rebuilding of human lives or the physical building replacement occurred, nor are they willing to secure our nation's borders from dangerous illegals from terror-sponsoring countries in their distorted view of "redistribution" of America's wealth and "compassion" for everyone who crosses the border illegally.
You do have a big point, Tet68. I was encouraged to start this thread as a take off on the ‘National Day of Service’ replacing its actual understanding as Patriots’ Day, begun under Bush.
It came to me. It should be the national day of FOOD service. And while we’re at it, let’s make sure to have lots of smoke in the air filled with the aromas of pork. Just because. While we can still buy it in the US, I suppose.
The bitter herbs, unleavened bread, and so forth is a nice idea. It is Yom Kippur.
I even looked for little paper napkins in the shape of crescents that I could put a star on and wipe my mouth or whatever I feel like it with. That’s a little bit of frou frou I don’t need to mess with, I don’t think, but it’s a thought.
Turns out this will be the last Walter Reed 9/11 cookout for the troops, too. No everyone can be there. But we can send smoke signals up to high heaven. All across the country.
I also found a little New York eatery, Sweet Revenge. Also makes cupcakes. Maybe there’s an appropriate recipe in that idea. http://www.sweetrevengenyc.com/
I do hear you though. I hope there’s so much smoke that the whole nation smells pork.
