Indian Pudding

This is a recipe that my Mom got from the old Howard Johnson's chain when we were kids. It truly is a "comfort" food and is great on crisp fall evenings. It will remind you of a warm pumpkin pie

Korean Steamed Eggs

Korean Steamed Eggs

If you like nice fluffy eggs you’ll want to give this dish a try.  Super easy and super quick to make – Less than 10 minutes start to finish

The eggs come out so light and fluffy they make an omelet or quiche look like they are made of lead.

Think of this as being like a cross between an Omelet and Chicken Noodle soup (minus the noodles).

When the “Left” blames the “GOP”

I find it quite humorous when Liberal/Progressives say things like “the GOP has ruined America” or even think they are being “balanced” by saying that both sides bare blame.

I offer the following rejoinder and after doing so I get met with the sound of crickets since their is not much they can say.

Ummm…. The GOP have not controlled the County the Dem’s have. The laws that control the Country are written, debated and passed by the Legislature.

If one party simultaneously controlled the legislative Houses of Congress for 63% of the time since Ike was inaugurated might that party be a bit more culpable for the laws rather than the party that only had control for 20% of the time

Note that half (6 years) of the 20% of the time that Congress was controlled by the GOP was during Clinton’s term so that should put in perspective how little they have had control of those levers of power.

To drive home the point after Ike’s second year through the rest of his term, across the Kennedy/Johnson years, Nixon/Ford Years and the Carter years the Dems had a lock on Congress. For a short six years under Reagan Congress was split but then the Dems took over again for the last two years of Reagan and all of Bush I.

Kentucky Hot Brown Bake

I like to make Hot Browns with the leftovers at Thanksgiving. When I saw this recipe had to give it a try. It’s pretty good. Next time I think I’ll still make a cheese sauce to go with it. If you don’t want to make a cheese sauce from scratch this store bought Welch Rarebit sauce from Stouffer’s works well.
