With a cold snap surging from the north into the Southeastern US the climate deniers will be out in 3, 2, 1....

I made some chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting tonight for Muffin Monday at my rural library tomorrow

Bitternut hickory showing fall colors on my property. Great tree except for the nasty tasting nuts.

I effectively ended a 50 year friendship after this friend stated that tRump is just another politician, that if he only kept his mouth shut things would be normal, all politicians are evil, things are screwed up no matter who is elected and so on and so on. Unbelievable.

There have been posts that mention that past tweets by Brendan Carr are contradictory with his present actions. I believe the answer is simple and frightening - Carr lied to attain a position of power in the FCC. He is probably among the many christian nationalists who have infiltrated different....

Will John Roberts ever have his Colonel Nicholson moment? The smart money says he will not youtu.be/tRHVMi3LxZE?...

At the urologist. Already waiting a half hour sitting in the examination room. Doctors don't give a fuck about anyone's inconvenience but their own

I looked at the motherfucker's schedule today and he's at his golf course golfing again? Is there any weekend he is not golfing costing the taxpayers millions to fly to one of his properties?

Today's lunch - sausage and pepperoni Milan style homemade pizza

If it takes the MAGA rebellion a day over two years to oust tRump we could be looking at 10 years of a Vance administration at least. And I say at least because by that time elections will be eliminated

Yesterday's lunch - a thin crust pizza with sausage cooked on a pizza steel

If there was a mandatory choice of shipper button on every online merchant's website FedEx would be bankrupt within months.

Today's lunch - homemade Milan style pizza with sausage, green and red peppers and mushrooms. And enough cheese to choke a Packer fan

I believe this is appropriate for today -

Just putting this out here! youtu.be/gGTRdpW8oZA?...

Netanyahu is the tail that wags the US dog

Apple turnovers for the Toledo Illinois cake walk event Spring Festival. Homemade puff pastry using only butter

I found the BBC documentary series on Ebay for a very good price and in pristine condition. I watched this series long ago on PBS. Watching chapter one - The New Germany. Hits a bit harder today.

Asparagus picked this morning and sautéed

Da Pope!

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

Riots in Harlem? So tRump us referring to 19 fucking 64? Or the less intense riots of 1968 (I remember the Chicago riots on the west side where the sky was ablaze). That is reaching back quite some time. I would ask why he did that but the answer is obvious - dementia

About 20 years ago shortly after I bought my 10 acre rural land with some woods I collected ramp bulbs and seeds in the fall from a state park that I always fished at and collected ramps and mushrooms. They have expanded greatly over the years. A small section of ramps

The Vatican should express in very strong terms that tRump, Vance or any official from the USA are not welcome at Pope Francis's funeral and will not be admitted to the Vatican

Sometimes I think one of the reasons tRump appointed so many unqualified fuckheads to his administration is the hope someone will assassinate one of them so he can declare martial law.

Made a deep dish spinach mushroom pizza today.

Lunch - homemade Chicago deep dish pizza with sausage, pepperoni, sweet pepper, onion and lots of cheese. OK, I know some people say it's not a pizza so bite me.

Cat trapped by my crazy tortie Hopper

Got a new pizza steel today and just took it for a test drive. I will have to adjust cooking time as it is hotter than the stone I was using.

Why would tRump/Musk want voters to believe they can fix any election? If you believe an election can be fixed why turn out to vote? If your vote doesn't count why cast it? They desire a feeling of hopelessness by their opposition. An alternative, violence to get tRump out of office would be...

Looking at the weather forecast it looks like a nasty line of storms is going to blast the Midwest and upper South with possible damage. tRump seeing the same forecast wonders if his weekend golf game will be affected.

Loaf of white sourdough bread baked this morning.

35% rye sourdough oval loaf.

Earth has lost enough soil moisture in the last 40 years to change the planet’s spin & shift the location of the North Pole, according to a new study published in Science that tracks how human activities have disrupted the global water cycle. insideclimatenews.org/news/2703202...

With the flood of bad news, it can be hard to get perspective on just how much damage Trump is doing. So we made a chart to get across Trump's whole-of-government approach to wrecking the climate: at least 82 actions from 20 different agencies in 52 days. 🎁 link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/feat...

Sourdough wheat bread fresh out of the oven

Homemade reuben sandwich made with my homemade artisan rye sourdough bread with freshly cooked corned beef

35% Rye flour sourdough just out of the oven. Made this for making reuben sandwiches

So Schumer is on NPR this morning hawking his book in an interview. Makes me wonder if the possibility of canceling his book tour had any influence on his yes vote on closure

I am making rye bread this weekend and offered a loaf to my neighbor down the road. They said they weren't big on rye so I made a white sourdough loaf for them.

I don't think they can quite conceptualize of entering a standoff without an exit strategy. The classic mental defect of the Type-A honor-roll student, a profound unwillingness to just do the thing and figure it out as you go, because that opens up the possibility of failure

Just out of the oven - white artisan natural levain bread. Or as I call it my average white bread

1/31 Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine. Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker. It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods

Natural levain bread using 50% organic rye flour and caraway seeds

Just out of the oven - artisan whole grain wheat bread made with natural leavening (sourdough)

Where will Elon Musk be sitting during the State of the Union? Will it be in a chair next to tRump? Or will he be standing behind him? Maybe he will interject something into the speech. Interesting times
