SEVERAL picks so far. LOTS of speculation and misinformation along the way
This week the country loudly let the PEOTUS know mittens was not on most favored list. Trump let the media know they were NOT on his most favored list. A snark designer who helped keep MO tacky advised other designers to stay away from Melania professionally. We ate too much probably on Thanksgiving and we possibly weren't appreciative enough of the blessings in this life.
He may be up for a job in the admin, or it may be an advice meeting, especially given Trump’s call to do away with opioids. Bad news - he was a former aide to Schmuckie and appointed by Obummer. Read 1 thing that Trump would like to ask him to stay on.
From the WSJ:
“Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney known for cracking down on insider trading and public corruption in New York, is tackling a new challenge: the growing opioid epidemic.”
I don’t think they can do it, but it would be awesome! read where Mitch wants to start the approval process right away (prior to Jan 20th). I think Congress reconvenes on Jan 3rd.
Hi friends- sorry I haven’t been posting. I’ve been reading though. Trying to get organized for Christmas. Today my quilt group meets here so I’ve been cleaning and baking. None of it is easy this year because I’ve had two hand surgeries and one elbow. Everything is sparkling and pretty, so I’ll just go take a pain pill and wait for my friends!
I will be along for the rally tomorrow. I can’t wait!
It’s truly a Merry Christmas this year! I still feel like it’s a miracle!
Shaquille O'Neal tells me enough with the recounts, Trump won "won fair and square. We have to give him a chance." http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/308092-shaq-time-to-give-trump-a-chance …
Preet Bharara, top federal prosecutor for Manhattan, is at Trump Tower to see Trump. Declined to answer questions, per @justinsink.
John Bolton just arrived to the DC transition office to meet with VPE Pence.
Perhaps there is such protocol plus I don’t think any of them are supposed to be speaking about it.
I can’t find anything in a quick search on FR about Bolton being interviewed, so I don’t know. I thought the 2 had spoken.
Rand Paul does not want Bolton or Giuliani
Morning Joe does not want Bolton or Giuliani - likes Corker
Who cares what those 2 think
And anyone else that asked
Containers. Storage at home is in ziplock snap containers
As gifts put in tins or mailable light weight containers. Neighbors get plates etc
Macaroons and divinity must have immaculate utensils with a powerful stand mixer. Also low humidity day
Whip 2 egg whites
Dash of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla in high in stand mixer
At soft peaks add
2/3 C granulated sugar
When stif peaks form fold in
1 1/3 C coconut
Drop on parchment paper
Making 12-18 1” mounds ( all on one baking sheet
Bake about 20 minutes in slow oven. 325*
CARAMELS
( can’t find grandmas — but this has more butter and doesn’t use fresh cream)
Biggest difference is grandma you cook only to soft ball stage not hard ball Saves the teeth!
Stirring is very important. I have a wooden spoon that has been cut off at end — makes getting into the corners easier.
Melt 2 sticks (1c ) butter ( no substitute)
Stir in 1# or 2 1/4 C light brown sugar
stir in 1 Cup light corn syrup
1 (15 Oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Cook medium heat until it reaches (240 or so) soft ball stage
Remove from heat
. Stir in 1 teas vanilla
Pour into butter container ( I use retangular ziplock). Some people cut and wrap. I wait until it’s time to make up package and cut with a warm knife the size I want. I stays softer and doesn’t dry out !
As I was typing my Response to freepersup, you posted this one - looks like Bolton is being interviewed today.
They sound wonderful! Thanks. I just made a grocery run earlier and now time to just enjoy baking.
Donald Trump to visit Chicago this week, expected to arrive tomorrow and leave Saturday: Sources http://trib.in/2gVUcIQ
I had not seen his name on any previous lists today....
Thanks for the great recipes.
I’ve been looking for a good macaroon recipe. They are supposed to be ‘good’ for you! Good excuse to chow down.
Office of Government Ethics tweeting praise to Trump for separating from his business. Tweeting at him over and over and over.
Great interview on @foxandfriends by @SteveDoocy w/ Carrier employee- who has a message for #PEOTUS @realDonaldTrump & #VPEOTUS @mike_pence.
Obama: 'Michelle Will Never Run for Office'
Jeb Hensarling, asked if he's staying in Congress after Pence meeting, says: "Unless you know something I don't."
Must be going there after his Thank You Tour.
Needs to slap Rahm around while he is there!!!
