I thought seriously about just trashing the recipe post when the first comment, and three of the first eight, were gripes and snark. Especially after I made a point of letting people know our party is about family, not football. But, I would really enjoy some fun and food recipes, and there are a few people left here who can enjoy these posts, and others who have the class not to ruin things if they aren’t in the mood.

This isn’t sarcasm here. Yes, I am mad. But apparently there is a need for a place to just blow off steam. I may actually do this second post every time I do any other post at all.

If you don’t like football, Taylor Swift, Kansas City or San Fran, or any other thing that puts a bee in your bonnet, here’s your place.

Blow off steam but keep it clean. This is not a place for you to bestow your nastiest vocabulary on us.

And please, consider letting the rest of us enjoy some normal.

Like a lot of people, I quit watching the Super Bowl some time ago. My oldest son is the only real pro football fan in the family, the rest of us only love college football. So, unless he is here for a visit, we don’t follow pro ball much. My husband stays current on playoff stuff each year  just to be able to talk with (read aggravate) my son.

However, some time ago when I used to always be at work, my husband and youngest son decided to have a small family party and cook one of the leftover turkeys from Christmas in the deep fryer. Back in those days, the two of them cooked everything (I miss those days!) and it was all fried.

We have kept that family party alive, even though only a few of the guys watch the game now. I remember that after I retired I used to watch the commercials, and most of them were fun. Not so much anymore, but this is a recipe post, so, on to the important stuff.

I will be providing an update later tonight.

The principal elements guiding the organization, which have further possibilities beyond the EU, are similar to the Solidarity movement.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Things are getting very interesting in the EU, specifically the nations with significant uprisings of farmers and truckers.

What I find interesting in this Reuters story, is the first time one of the MSM publications has been willing to identify the true intent of the protests.
