I hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday.
Denver Young Democrats chair Chris Laughlin will be on CNN (Newsroom w/Kyra Phillips) at 8:10 AM Mountain, along with the chair of the Denver Metro Young Republicans, discussing the President’s visit. If anyone tunes in, let me know how it is–I don’t have a TV so I’ll be waiting for him to post the clip on Facebook 🙂
But wait a second, even a generic Republican can’t get out of a statistical tie. The source? You guessed it: Rassy.
http://www.rasmussenreports.co…
Rassy didn’t want to show you what “essentially tied” meant, but it’s Obama 44%, Romney 41%.
Just a little something to go with your morning patchouli you filthy stinking commie libs.
but I wear Chanel NO.5.
That and Aqua di Parma. I’m a snob when it comes to perfume.
Does that smell like cheese or ham? JK 😉
that I just got from Splendid Kitchen because I am a ham lover. Hmmm, maybe you are onto something with the Parma perfume thing, after all. I love prosciutto (smuggled a pound of it back from Italy last November in my boot.)
had a button to post recipes to. How will I ever find this when I can afford a ham? I’ll have to hope I can remember that MotR posted it and search her posts.
FPEs that first promoted the thread could be responsible to post recipes within that thread to the button.
A cookbood could even be accumulated and sold to pay for therapy for ‘tad, BJ, Mark etc. Or something more likely to be used, support for food banks
I have a huge recipe file with all of this stuff and can send you any of them that you want.
My email is in my profile so…anytime, Gray.
but when it gets pretty frosty ouside…
I just read a recipe for clam chowder that made me salivate.
Last weekend I made some chili with bear that a hunter gave me and smoked about 20 lbs (most given to our local community meal program). The chili was great and this w/e I am going to make some stroganoff with some more bear.
Last week I smoked a pork shoulder for about 20 hrs with mesquite chips, and I pulled apples right off the tree and cut them in half threw them in too for good flavor. I also make homemade BBQ sauce too with an awesome North Carolina recipe when I have time. Awesome stuff.
Never had bear though !
Smoke throughout the year, taking advantage of those mild 60ish days that come along throughout winter. I mainly smoke ribs, both pork and beef (obviously not a terribly observant Jew and the good beef ribs are hard to find without specific request to butcher), and whole chickens. My husband prefers my dry rub, sauce on the side if you want it Q to any of the metro area joints and even to joints he frequented when he lived in Texas. We kid that I should open up a Q joint with an obviously Jewish name like “Ma Goldberg’s BBQ”.
2 electric, 2 propane, charcoal and coal. I use all of those fuels. Don’t usually like mesquite except with chicken. When I get to the midwest I bring back lots of hickory, cherry and apple and a friend in TX sends some pecan wood to me.
My friend in TX is an R but has not been able to find a TX R to vote for. He just likes being on the outside when he goes to a meeting. Says shaking his head from side to side keeps vertebra healthy.
Sounds like I’d be dethroned as his Q Queen by a new Q King!
or spiritual feelings
I can’t smoke as much in the winter. We don’t have those 60 degree days up here. But, if it is above 40 then I am likely to smoke a bird or ham several times during the winter. Have to special order a ham that has not been cooked AT ALL and pay more for it. One of my winter coats just reeks so I can’t even store it in the house. It is in the garage.
I am able to feel spiritual. One is BBQ and smoking. The other will not be named here.
We don’t have 60 degree days up here in the winter. But, if it is over 40 I am likely smoking a bird or a ham that must be special ordered so it has not been cooked IN ANY WAY. My winter smoking coat has to be kept in the garage because it reeks
Not last year but for several years running I had a streak of 60 on my January birthday and sunny 50s are common. So the smoker generally gets used a couple times a month throughout the winter. When it’s cold and we’re desperate we hit Big Papa’s. Used to ahve a really sweet local family owned and run Q joint in downtown Littleton, Blest BBQ, but it closed. Guess what moved in down the street from them and does fine… a Dickies. How anyone could prefer that fake crap to our old Blest is beyond comprehension.
My friend smokes them and they’re awesome!
He get’s them at a Russian butcher somewhere in Aurora. I can track it down for you if you’re interested.
My third-to-oldest brother bagged a bear back in the early 50’s. Wish Mom knew about smoking and BBQing. We ate it regular style: chops, steaks, roasts an burger. Jeez, was it greasy and sweet. But we ate it. Just like horse. There was a spell when horsemeat was available for poor people. Dad brought some home from the local locker plant, but the entire family rebelled. It was just too sweet. And we had horses, for plowing and riding and hunting. So Mom went back to beans and rice.
Nope. I’ll never try bear again.
removes most of the grease and this one did not taste at all sweet. The pieces I browned for the chili tasted like a less expensive cut of beef, like round steak.
Awful both times. Bet yours isn’t.
I love the smell of patchouli in the morning. Smells like … victory
that Libertad 1.0 hadn’t posted that gem yet.
HYPOTHETICAL GENERIC CANDIDATE 4 LIFE!!
“An anonymous donor has given Metropolitan State College of Denver $1 million to establish an interdisciplinary water-studies program.” http://www.denverpost.com/news…
Who could possibly head up this program?
What name comes to mind?
Perhaps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S… ?
that will be taught 98.43% by the TA.
Every governor since John Love is on record saying that I was “all wet.” What better crentials for water? I’ll take the million, hire Rolly Fischer to do the real work for $100,000 and keep the balance as my ten percent cut.
(OK, my expertise is water, not math.)
a brief mention of protesters at Obama speech with no numbers so I’m assuming the number of rightie and leftie protesters was undramatic. Anyone who was there care to give impression of respective protester numbers?
with all of John H Kennedy’s leadership skills, charisma and organizational talent I am really surprised half the state didn’t show up in a massive grassroots movement.

Take that Bachmann!
or so Maher would say
Sarah Palin: ‘Is a Title and Campaign Too Shackle-y?’
This should put an official end to any further considertaion of Palin as anything other than a carnie side show. Gee you wouldn’t want to be all shackled up with a “title” like Governor or President or Senator when you can just run around getting paid to shoot off your mouth, would you? How can a celeb “effect change” with one of those shackle-y titles? Not that those are “titles”. Titles are more like the King of this, the Duke of that, etc. But we get her gist.
I think her “blood libel” comment cut through the haze with everyone who still inexplicably thought she was a credible candidate up to that point*. (Personally, I knew she was finished in elected politics the day she resigned the governorship, but I guess it takes a while for hype that that’s fevered to cool off.)
*Die hards excluded, of course. They’re going to be the new Larouchies.
the self professed non-quitter quit being Governor. But maybe now the last hold out pundit will make it official and admit she’s just a celeb, not any kind of vaguely serious contender.
From You Know Which Paper
and just move straight to impeach?
neglects to mention that SOS allowed Pueblo to use a similar plan to mail ballots to inactives.
What consistency? Denver also has mailed out to those classes of inactives, I believe. Too late already. I don’t think Gessler can win this one.
A little known secret bank appears to have been discovered by KPMG auditors working on behalf of the U.S. Treasury Department’s investigation of Solyndra.
I just know that the gist of this post is absolutely wrong. I just know it. How? Because every time you post something, you’re wrong. It’s really that simple.
http://www.politico.com/news/s…
The first stimulus did save jobs and probably prevented an even deeper recession but it didn’t go far enough. Should have been bigger. This plan should probably go bigger too (we need more jobs than that but more is better than none) but since the GO(T)P will kill it anyway I guess it’s the thought that counts. Except with the GO(T)P. They don’t care what economists think.
Passed by law through Congress in the 1970s to combat high interest rates being paid by various Federal agencies (yes, the agencies each have to find their own financing to back some things Congress tells them to do in the budget bill every year; the FFB provides that service to them).
All of FFB’s loans are at the direction of Federal agencies, and are pretty much a result of the Congressional budget.
As usual, ‘tad has obtained information from someone writing as a partisan and has misrepresented the facts.
KPMG is the FFB’s official auditor (at least it was in 2010) and has not found anything new or different than it already knew. Solyndra’s loan details were approved as part of Congressional action and not some secret plot by Sec. Geithner and Pres. Obama.
The real reason for the tempest in a teapot over the FFB is more likely the ongoing use of FFB in supporting Federal Student Loans or some other pet peeve of movement conservatives (or bankers looking to get their greedy mitts on the interest revenues from servicing $60 billion in Congressionally authorized Federal debt).
this morning in GJ. I’m always humbled by the accomplishments, the characters, and the conversation. It was great to meet Ardy, Ellie and “old” friends:-)
Wish I could have stayed longer!
I left 34 paid-for minutes on my damned parking meter.
I know a couple of other Polsters who live here who might make the next one.
You get my vote for official organizer, Sir Robin.
Just got a robo call in favor of prop 103. It was awful. It doesn’t even try to be persuasive and the tone is that of a lecture about what’s good for you.
It’s so blah that I think most will hang up in 10 seconds. For those that listen, I doubt any will be convinced of anything.
Seriously, there’s a Prop 103 robo call that last for FIVE MINUTES.
The call was so annoying I was afraid it would push me to vote against 103. I sure hope robocalls have no impact because otherwise this will decrease the vote for it.
I press the appropriate numbers. That should be it. I should be off the list. But no. Iget called again. And again with the same message. I no longer answer but see it on caller ID several times a day. It must be at least 8 times by now. So I try to call the number on caller ID to tell them something is amiss. They shouldn’t be wasting these calls on people who have already responded. Also I want the calls to stop. What do I get at the number? The same robocall. There is apparently no way to get back to these people and tell them to stop it already.
Shana Tova, that is. May all have a sweet, healthy, prosperous coming year. Please forgive me if I have offended as I forgive you. And call your mother, why don’t you?
But thanks for the reminder to call Grandma.
But Shana Tova back atcha.
Look for a cute video in tomorrow’s jams.
There’s a small medium at large…
