Book Worm

So I haven't read a lot lately, but here is a list of books I have/have not read. Some of them were great (1984), some were awful (Crime and Punishment) some I refuse to read (Harry Potter) and some I would like to (Catch 22).

And to be fair, I have read a lot more books than this, but books by Jonah Goldberg, Mark Steyn and Mark Levin never seem to make these lists.

Truffles and purses

There is a bowl of cream cheese, whipped cream and chocolate at home waiting for me to make them into truffles.

I have every intention of getting them done tonight. We will see how that goes.

There are also two large pieces of jean material and green canvas that are waiting for me to whip them into a sling bag by Friday.

I also must pack to go back home to Indiana. Alas, I am not going to be getting my necessary 8 hours of sleep this week.

Consider yourself warned.

Guy Fawkes Day

In honor of Guy Fawkes Day I went to the Capitol to protest the healthcare bill today.
My Peeps on the Mall paying Nancy a visit

Met a bunch of awesome Texans.
Talked with some truckers that reminded me of my dad.
Taught some fellow Midwesterners to use the metro.
Clapped a lot.
Yelled a lot more.
Cheered on the few politicians that are actually listening.
Fawned over Mike Pence.
Fawned even more over Jon Voight.
Made some new friends.
And then went back to work.

Okay, so it wasn't nearly as exciting as the Gunpowder Treason Plot.

But Pelosi and her gang are committing treason against the Constitution and instead of blowing anything up to show our displeasure we chose to invade their offices and let them hear us instead.

And now, a Guy Fawkes Day poem:

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot ;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning match

Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar,'
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head,
Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead.

I hope today's showing on the Mall will be enough to kill the Bill.

Chicken Divan

Tonight I made chicken divan and it was wonderful as it always is.

Here is the recipe from my 1996 Grace Fellowship Church Cookbook. Reformed Baptist shoutout!

4 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
16 ounces cooked broccoli
1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
Bread crumbs
melted butter

Layer the chicken, then broccoli, then cheese in pan.

Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, milk and cream of chicken soup.

Add salt and pepper to taste to the mixture.

Pour mixture over the chicken, broccoli and cheese.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Mix breadcrumbs and butter, sprinkle over the top and bake 5 more minutes.

mmmmmm, Midwestern yumminess.

Toxic

Forget about the kids singing Obama's praises, this is a far more dangerous type of indoctrination.

Move On Loves Them Some Hoosiers

Here is another gem from Moveon.org. For all you Hoosiers out there, this one is directed at Bayh and Lugar's support on Obamacare.

The most annoying thing about this email is that it is so childish. Personifying Obamacare? Really? Apparently this works for the people they are targeting. To me, it looks like desperation.

On a positive note, all of Lugar and Bayh's phone numbers are listed. I suggest you call their offices and tell them that they are slimy and plan on voting them out in the next election.


>>> "The public option" <moveon-help@list.moveon.org> 9/23/2009 5:22 PM >>>
Hi, I'm the public health insurance option.

People have been saying all sorts of untrue things about me lately, so I decided it was time to stand up and set the record straight.

First off: the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I'm happy and healthy. And I'm proud to play a starring role in four of the five health reform bills currently on the table.

Second: I have a lot of friends. President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi support me--as do 77% of the American people.1 In fact, I'm feeling pretty popular.

But there is one area where I could use your help. The Senate Finance Committee is considering a "trigger" proposal that could kill me through indefinite delay.

Can you call your senators, Evan Bayh and Richard Lugar, and tell them that health care reform must include a real public health insurance option that's available immediately--not a "trigger"?

Here's where to call:

Senator Evan Bayh
Phone: 202-224-5623
District Offices:

Evansville: 812-465-6500
Fort Wayne: 260-426-3151
Hammond: 219-852-2763
Indianapolis: 317-554-0750
Jeffersonville: 812-218-2317
South Bend: 574-236-8302

Senator Richard Lugar
Phone: 202-224-4814
District Offices:
Evansville: 812-465-6313
Fort Wayne: 260-422-1505
Indianapolis: 317-226-5555
Valparaiso: 219-548-8035

Then click here to report your call:

http://pol.moveon.org/call?tg=FSIN_2.FSIN_1&cp_id=1120&id=17309-9504367-ZdDa_ex&t=10

A "trigger" that would make me wait to become available is just a trap designed to kill me. As Senator Charles Schumer has pointed out, "any reasonable criteria for triggering a public plan has already been met" because insurance companies have already failed to rein in costs and
expand coverage.2

Here are some other things you might not know about me:

* I like candlelit dinners, overseas travel, and long walks on the beach. Whoops, sorry--wrong email.
* Some people say they don't like me because I'm too expensive, but that's just a flat-out lie. Keeping me around will actually save money--I'd cost 10% less than the typical private plan.3
* I'm the best way to keep insurance companies honest. Like my friend Senator Jay Rockefeller has said, "Without the steady, positive influence of a public plan option in the marketplace, we will never truly solve the health care crisis in this country. Private health insurance has a long history of cutting people off or charging too much for too little."4
* Over 60 House progressives have publicly pledged to only vote for a bill that has me in it.5 So without me, health care reform doesn't have enough votes make it through Congress.

And I'm counting on your help to make it through the Senate. Can you call
Sens. Bayh and Lugar today?

And Now Some News From Emily's Non-political Life

Still looking for a house. Boo NoVa (northern virginia) real estate market. Investors planning on flipping who undercut families who just want to buy a house are evil. Also, if the bank forecloses on you, chances are it is your fault not the bank's. So, it would be much appreciated if you quit stripping out everything (appliances, fixtures, switch plates, vanities, mirrors, baseboards, toilets, door knobs, etc.) in an effort to screw the bank. All you are really doing is screwing your used to be neighbors because that house is now worth half of what it was and now their property value sucks.

i have more sewing projects than I have time. I guess that isn't a bad thing, it must mean people like the stuff I make. Someday I will not have a job and I will be able to stay at home a make clothes for Daphne all day....or take care of children, whatev. But before that can happen we need to find a house, see above.



Daphne is as spoiled as ever. She has become slightly obsessed with rawhide chewtoys and gets mad when we take them away. Brandon is trying to teach her to play dead, she doesn't like having to lay still, but she is starting to catch on. We took her to the hotel with us for our 1st year anniversary, so spoiled.Daphne at Helix

And that is pretty much it for what is going on in my life outside of eating, breathing, sleeping, watching politics 24/7. Yes, I'm lame. Informed, but lame. I really need to find a job that will put my compulsive need to watch the news for political information/read blogs with political rantings/tweet the latest way Obama's trying to screw us/update facebook with news the mainstream media won't report, to use.

If anyone knows of this type of job I can be reached on twitter 24/7.

Moving on Over to Astroturfing

The following is text from a MoveOn.org asking people to post the Will Ferrell pro-Obama care video on their facebook and twitter statuses. They were even so kind as to tell you exactly what to re-tweet.

I've got one question for you, who are the Astroturfers now?


I have the email if you would like me to forward it to you. I thought text would be more helpful than just screen shots. I took out the name of the original person this was sent to for his privacy.

>>> "Kat Barr, MoveOn.org Political Action" <moveon-help@list.moveon.org> 9/22/2009 5:24 PM >>>

Dear MoveOn member,

Earlier today, we sent you a funny video featuring Will Ferrell talking
about the plight of insurance company executives--the "real" victims in
the health care fight.

The video is catching FIRE! Already over 600,000 people have seen it, and
it's on the verge of going truly viral. Can you help make sure it does by
posting this as your status on Facebook, with a link to the video?

No health insurance company should have to lose one cent of their billions
in profits just because sick Americans need health care. If you agree with
Will Ferrell, please post this as your status for a
day: http://bit.ly/kNKpA

You probably saw a couple weeks ago when a similar--but serious--status
update went viral on Facebook. Let's make it happen again, this time using
the power of snark to continue to spread the word about how crucial health
care reform is.

And watch the video if you haven't yet! It's pretty darn funny, if we do
say so ourselves. ;)

--Kat, Laura, Stephen, Marika, and the rest of the team

P.S. If you're on Twitter, can you tweet this, too?

Why I Marched

Why did I go to the march in Washington?

Someday I am going to have kids and if all these bailouts/health care/stimulus continue to pass they are going to be in debt up to their eyeballs. They are going to ask me why I let this happen and why they can't have the same opportunities I did.


I want to be able to tell my kids that I was fighting for them.



And hopefully, I won't have to answer those questions because I and a couple hundred thousand of my closest friends spoke out to stop the madness and the people in Washington actually listened.


And that is why I marched on 9/12.


Thursday, September 10, 2009

Remember.

Take time to remember the lives lost on 9/11, say a prayer for our leaders and thank God for the freedom we have in this country.



And on Saturday we will remember the people we were on 9/12/01.

See you all on the Mall.

Glenn Beck 1, Van Jones 0

Major win for Glenn Beck today. Only about 30 more to go. I am going to put my effort behind getting Mark Lloyd outed next.

If you don't know, Mark Llyod is the FCC Czar and likes to say things like:

"It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.

"[T]he purpose of free speech is warped to protect global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance."


Sounds pretty dangerous to me.

It was a close one between going after Cass Sunstein and Mark Lloyd, but I think Lloyd presents a more present danger at this point. They are going to want to shut down the right (Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Malkin, etc) as fast as they can at this point. They are causing major damage. Expect a couple blog posts on Mark Lloyd in the next few days.

El Guacamole de Emily

I have had two avocados sitting on my counter for less than 24 hours, this means I must make guacamole. That's just the way it is:

El Guacamole de Emily

2 avocados
3 Tbsps. mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili power
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Hot sauce to taste


Mash it all together to as lumpy or smooth as you like it.


Que Bueno!

I like my fruit as unhealthy as possible...


Mmmm, fresh fruit. The only way fresh fruit is better is doused in sugar and baked with pastry on top.

I have made a lot of cobblers lately using recipes. I decided that I have gotten to the point where I don't need a recipe anymore because it is pretty much impossible to screw it up.

I started with strawberries, peaches, cherries, and blueberries.



Number One important thing to do when using fruit. Wash it wash it wash it. You don't know what was sprayed on it, who picked it, what kind of truck it came in on, and who handled it at the store before you. A way to solve this is to grow your own fruit, but I live on the 6th floor of an apartment at the moment. Rinse in cold water and move fruit around. Let drain. Play with Daphne while fruit is draining... if you have a Daphne. Or just continue to next step.


The Blueberries

First, preparing the blueberries: do nothing to them, throw them in a bowl and move on to strawberries.


The Strawberries
Chop the tops off all the strawberries and any discolored spots.
Chop them up into whatever size you want, I made my pieces about the same size as the blueberries. Then throw them in with the blueberries and move onto the peaches.


The Peaches
Peaches can be a pain to peel. So I have a solution, don't. I flash boil peaches when I want to peel them. Bring a pot of water to a boil, lower the peach in the water for 10-20 seconds. Then transfer to ice water. Sometimes the skin will split on its own, other times you need to lance it with a paring knife. Either way, the skin should peel off easily, meaning you save the fruit that you usually cut off when peeling and the hassle of peeling fruit in the first place. De-pit the peach and chop the pieces up. Put the pieces in the bowl of blueberries and strawberries.



The Cherries

Cherries are by far the messiest. (Note to self, buy a cherry pitter) De-pit all the cherries. I just ran a knife around the edges and pulled the pit out. I left the cherries in halves, mostly because it already looked like I had slit my wrists by the time I was done taking out the pits. Put the cherries in the bowl with all the other fruit. Now you are a ready to make the syrup for all the fruit.




The Filling
I have found the cornstarch and sugar are the best things to use to create the syrup that makes cobbler so good. I have about 6 cups of fruit, so I used 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and a 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix it all together and the cornstarch and the sugar absorb the liquid making the juice. It will be runny right now, but after it bakes, it will be thicker and darker.

Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased pan. Any glass pan will work as long as it is deep enough that it won't run over the sides when it starts bubbling in the oven.

Cut up 2 tablespoons of cold butter and dot it all over the top of the fruit. This helps the dough on top cook and just makes it all around healthier...maybe.


The Dough
The dough on the top of cobbler can be made lots of different ways. Some of it is almost like pie crust, others it is more like granola. I like the biscuit type that you drop on top of the fruit. I also like to use cornmeal instead of oatmeal like most recipes.

Mix dry ingredients together:
2/3 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cup cornmeal
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (if desired, i desired)
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup vegetable oil and add to the dry mixture. Mix it all together until just moistened. If you are using an 8x8 pan, make half of the dough mixture.

Cover the top of the fruit with the dough mixture. If you don't like as much dough on top, feel free to use less. I like lots of dough on the top of my cobbler so I usually try to cover the entire pan.





Baking
Place pan in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the top is brown and the fruit is bubbling.

I recommend putting the cobbler on the top rack and placing a baking sheet on the bottom rack. Sometimes cobbler boils over and can make a pretty big mess on the bottom of the oven.

Remove from oven and let it cool a little bit before serving.

Viola!



Share with Daphne and/or husband if desired.



Project Cobbler

I have an assortment of peaches, cherries, strawberries and blueberries. I plan on turning this into cobbler by the end of the day. I'm gonna wing it with no recipe. We will see how this goes.

Hoosier on the loose in DC

I am the mob and I'm coming for you.

Twitter and Facebook are down!?!?

Now what am I supposed to do all day?!

I am slightly prone to conspiracy theories, but this has hints of a DOS attack.

Other people seem to think so too.

It seems like everyone took the day off work today too. Prepare for massive boredom.

Hrmm, maybe I will just blog today.
