Beef broth from pot roast ends up in soup, chicken bones, scraps, and skeletons make stock. Pork broth? Dunno.

I work herbs in mortar & pestle. L likes Big croutons 3/4 to 1". I add the salt after cubes are coated and spread.

Mix seasonings in a measuring cup or small bowl, add gradually to bread cubes, stirring as you add until well coated.

Spread seasoned bread cubes on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake at 325 for 20 - 25 minutes, stirring halfway.

Remove from oven, cool, then store.

Reminds me that one of the nuns in grade school said that "hocus pocus" was blasphemy.
Saw it as a parody of the words of consecration "Hoc es in corpus meum". or something like that.

Even after 2 1/2 lbs waste, our bottom line for the usable part came to $1.22 a lb.
Beef on the other hand - damn, seems to have about doubled.

Next project was packing the 12 1/2 lbs of pork "chops" we got at 97 cents a pound. All kinds of odd cuts, lots of bone. However, ended up with 6 pcs we can call chops, 3 Lb pcs for stir fry or carnitas, 2 lb "cutlets" to bread and fry, 1 lb fatty stuff to cure with next batch of bacon.

Was going to do some painting, but ended up in kitchen. Batch of croutons. Really good easy recipe. $1 Italian loaf from walmart works well, makes 2 batches. Lady who posted recipe said she couldn't find her first batch. Finally asked the kids. "Oh yeah, what were those? They were great!"

Q: "What does it say that POTUS over the weekend released a video of him pooping on the American people?"

Speaker Mike Johnson: "The president uses social media to make a point…He is using satire to make a point. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents."

FIRED DOJ LAWYER: “I responded up the chain of command - that’s a lie. I cannot sign my name to that.”

Erez Reuveni says he was fired by Trump’s DOJ for refusing to lie that KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA was a terrorist & gang member.

Great turnout in Silver City, well over 1000! Signs, flags, some inflated costumes; rainbow unicorn, t-rex skeleton, frog. Upside down clown was hilarious. Lots of support from passing drivers.

Just need to finish up some new signs. Some Party business as well.
Painted about 20' of soffit and kitchen window trim, wall next. Batch of red chile pork came out great - big fat burritos last night. Baked rye bread, corned beef in slow cooker right now. Guess what's for dinner!

He toured CECOT and rolls with ICE.

At this point all I can do is keep the damn stuff from covering the patio and taking over the perennial bed. Looks like we're stuck with it. Even crowds out the buffalo grass.

We should have another potluck sometime.

Rally tomorrow; 71, sunny, light wind.

Low of 43 last night, forecast 43 tonite so good chance for upper 30s. Made a pot of red chile pork for burritos, tacos, tamales, whatever. Bone-in loin with Big Jims and jalapeños. A little yard work, edged patio. Damn that bermuda grass is evil shit!

Worth repeating:
