So I’m watching Chris Wallace and Fox Sunday and the best strategerist ever....Karl Rove....is defending Christie.
I think it’s overkill with Christie and dear Lord, well let the Dems keep attacking the fat man. I’d love to see him beat up and pushed off the stage.
But Karl Rove....he speaks.
someday the whole lot of them will be thrown out.
So I finally did it! I purchased a small jar of Cumin and a small jar of Coriander!
Why, you aks?
Cause every chef on TV uses these two spices and in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost I HAD TO GE#T SOME!
I have no idea what they’re used for of even what they’re made from. Put a dash of coriander on the potato salad cause serious, I don’t know what the hell to use it on.
FIVE BUCKS FOR A LITTLE OUNCE! I figger it’s got to be good else why would Chef Ramsay command we put them on everything?
So this past Monday the Sussex GOP...to my complete surprise....heh, turns the whole meeting over to....WHO?
ME!!!!
Ok....took me completely by surprise. Chairman, name John Rieley, was Sussex county chairman for Christine O’Donnell...walks back to the “visitor” section where I sat (and yes, I looked good....they found out about this all the way in Afghanistan) and handed me the microphone.
Heh. Man I took that microphone and went on a rant. I went on about Common Core, the silly Republican who voted FOR a local ordinance when same law already on books, I complimented one Sussex council guy who was there and I endorsed one who is running against the pub who thinks we must have laws and more laws and laws and laws.
Had them stunned silent then....
....well guys.....there’s more. About how they changed their whole system.....how they’re going to start concentrating on LOCAL issues.....like myself I’d suggest.
Heh....more later.
Article I wrote about below. My editor messaged me from Afghanistan, says we should “do lunch” when he returns.
One citizen....ONE CITIZEN...making them listen.
and I ain’t done yet.

Looking closer and closer to Steve Smyk. Maybe caught him in a big lie. Also, Sussex monthly GOP meeting keeps them in their seats, some REAL issues take over the tone.
I’m a gardener who grows herbs. Coriander is the seed of the plant known as Chinese Parsley or Cilantro (same plant). the leaves are used a lot in both Asian-Oriental (Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian) and Mexican dishes.
Some people say, when they eat fresh cilantro, that it tastes soapy. There seems to be about 15% of the population that reacts this way and hates it. When I first ate some, it had that flavor but something else, too. It was good/bad to me, and gradually changed to great. I cannot eat salsa without it.
The coriander has only a slight hint of this flavor, and in my opinion, is a near to worthless compared to the rest of the plant.
Cumin is used a lot in Mexican, Middle-Eastern and Indian cuisine. It is also derives from the seed of a parsley. I don’t grow it, as a very little goes a long way. I only use it when I make tacos.
My biggest fear about Christie is not that he will try and run as a Republican.
Hi Sister Pat!
Cumin -Is a main component of curry and other hot spice mixtures. Primarily used in spicey Mexican, North African and Middle Eastern dishes (don’t use too much). It has some health benefits (digestive and others):

Coriander - Coriander is a popular herb that is used extensively and liberally in Indian, Thai, South American and Middle Eastern cuisine.
Has some health benefits
One use for both might be chili
Best,

Love these spices. I buy whole, toast then grind the:
Coriander and Cumin Rubbed Pork Chops
“Chops rubbed with a simple but flavorful spice and garlic mixture. For an even more potent result, toast and grind the spices yourself.”
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 boneless pork loin chops
ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Mix the salt, cumin, coriander, garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to form a paste. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, and rub with the paste.
2. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the pork chops about 5 minutes on each side, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serves 2
I’ve just returned from Kroger’s so I’ve yet to see the Chris Wallace’s show.
One of my dead husband’s used to cook with Cumin (seeds) all the time, (when he was alive of course). I love fresh Cilantro. Don’t know what I’d do with Coriander. Good luck.
