Exactly 80 years ago tomorrow (Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth should be very worried. www.executedtoday.com/2009/11/30/1...

I make Turkish green beans this way. I pan-fry / blister-brown them, then add saute'ed onion and garlic, and tomatoes or tomato puree (or both). Salt. Cook until the beans are soft. Good cold, hot, or room temp. No pepper, peppercorn, or ginger heat! Just good.

We are still just part-children, ourselves. "Toyland, Toyland, dear old girl and boy land .... Once you've left it, you-oooh-oooh, can never return, again." We all feel it, no matter how old we get!

Has anyone asked where the additional $4 to $10 million required annually for cleaning, maintenance, and HVAC will come from? 47 isn’t actually known for quality anything, including construction, so maintenance alone could be under-estimated.

To sum it up - Russia drafted a murderous wishlist, bamboozled US into claiming it's theirs, Trump endorsed it without reading, pressured the victim on behalf of the aggressor, while the aggressor leaked how exactly Trump was bamboozled to then say they won't even consider any peace plans at all.

That's what my brother did. He unassembled toasters, radios, and whatever was around. Sometimes he reassembled things. He's over 70, and still inventin' stuff (some of which have sold for a pretty penny).

This will be on my table, as well!

Hmm. Maybe I should put the hamburger out to thaw. Tacos sound good! We had canned chicken-salad sandwiches tonight, because I cleaned the kitchen (after much neglect) so we can host Thanksgiving ...
