Trueblue Texan's JournalFast and delicious veggie stew with garlic smoked sausage...
Get your fiber and your flavor!
1 1/2 chopped onions
5 stalks celery sliced
2 carrots, sliced
1 turnip, cut in 1 inch cubes
1 pound Chappell Hill garlic smoked sausage, cut in 1/2 to 1 inch slices
chicken broth and water to cover the first 5 ingredients
2-3 russet potatoes, cut in 1 inch cubes
1/2 head cabbage coarsely chopped
Dump first 5 ingredients into dutch oven and boil. When carrots and turnips are almost tender, add potatoes and cabbage. Put the lid on and let it cook until everything is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divine! Love it with sourdough bread! Bet it's great with cornbread as well!
Favorite hearty snack!
We usually have sourdough bread at home, either store bought or homemade. One of my favorite midnight snacks or fast hunger buster during a busy day is my cheater's pizza made with sourdough bread.
I thinly butter a slice of sour dough, add a piece of sliced cheese, then sliced tomato. I salt the tomato with garlic salt and put it in the air fryer at 420 degrees until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown. Heavenly crispy and FAST!
What's your go to snack?
I don't know when, or IF, I've ever seen such an incredibly stupid and disrespectful person in my life.
MTG is not only stupid, she appears to be proud of it. She's wearin' her stupid flag PROUDLY in this video, only she thinks it her "I R smarts!" flag. How many of us here are members of FB pages or other online fora for the sole purpose of watching the enemy. Jesus Christ, she's so f*ing stupid she makes my brain hurt.
Collard greens...oh, YESSSSSS!
I just made the best collard greens I've ever eaten. They were so good I had for them breakfast yesterday and today. Now I have a favorite breakfast: collard greens with grilled cheese on sour dough bread.
I made the greens with 1 smoked turkey neck. I saw a YouTube video where a black lady who appeared to know her way around a soul food kitchen used a smoked turkey leg to season her greens. I wish I could tell you the name of the YouTuber, but I can't. If I find out, I will update this post.
Anyway, her method sounded good, but I'm the only one in my house who eats meat and I didn't want to cook more than I could eat. So I went to the store and bought some smoked turkey necks--they were plenty meaty, but not as big as a turkey leg. I used one neck in this recipe and froze the rest.
I also got a bag of cut up collard greens. I washed the greens, threw them in the Instant Pot (you could also use a pressure cooker) along with 1/2 a chopped onion, and one turkey neck. I added water about 1/2 way up the greens...this was actually more water than was needed, but they still turned out great. You can also use chicken broth instead of water for a richer pot liquor.
I put the lid on the pot and set it to cook at high pressure for 8 minutes. I let it release its pressure slowly after it the 8 minutes then I took the lid off and scooped out the greens. I put the turkey neck back in there and put the lid back on and cooked it another 8 minutes under high pressure to loosen the meat up and make it tear off with a fork. After it was done, I took the neck out and pulled the meat off, adding it back to the pot with the collards and a healthy dose of pepper vinegar...I also added 5 or 6 of those little peppers from the jar. I let it cook another few minutes. If it's not salty enough with just the turkey neck, you can add some smoke salt.
The greens were amazing, but they were even more amazing the next day and the next. They were so good I was really glad I was the only one in the household that would eat them! I hope you enjoy this recipe! You might decide collard greens and grilled cheese is even better than collard greens and cornbread!
I think it was deliberate.
So Alina Habba goes into the courtroom and starts bitching at the judge about the way the case is running. Where's the jury? she wants to know. The judge informs her defense didn't request a jury trial. She looks like an incompetent fool, but continues to berate the judge and the proceeding.
There is no way she overlooked requesting a jury trial by mistake.
She played the part of a complete incompetent because that is the strategy for appeal. It's the only strategy they have. The documentation makes the case. There is no gray area. The entire performance yesterday was yet another Hail Mary.
This is a flat-out violation of privacy, Texas!
So educators no longer have the right to privacy simply because they live in Texas? BULLSHIT!
"by April of next year, every bookseller in the state is tasked with submitting to the Texas Education Agency a list of every book they’ve ever sold to a teacher, librarian or school that qualifies for a sexual rating and is in active use. The stores also are required to issue recalls for any sexually explicit books."

I'm not buying the media's take on the reason Fox News settled...
...the Dominion case. According to several media sites, NY Times, for one, Tucker Carlson's redacted comments went too far:
“A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living shit out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight.
“Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?”
Now as disgusting as these comments are, I think they elevate Carlson from his usual attitude. At least in these comments, he is recognizing how disgusting he is; he is demonstrating enough self-reflection to realize that he is becoming something he knows is horrible and he is repulsed by it.
At best, these comments may show that Carlson was aware of the malice he delivered on air, yet continued to spew hate. Maybe that awareness could somehow be extrapolated as evidence he didn't care if he delivered false and malicious information about voting systems. But generally I think MSM's take that these comments caused Fox to settle is naive. I suspect there is something in those redacted comments that is far more disgusting than anything we've seen so far.
I'm trying to be open-minded, but...
…what are all these Republicans doing on Chris Hays’ show? Michael Steele is hosting and interviewing Mona Charon and Jennifer Rubin. Too many Rs in the same place make me very nervous, especially when they are in Democrat-friendly territory.
