Good Rant on Oregon Election ~ Salute? ~ TBT St. Clairs' ~ Tom G ~ Fall ~ Ravioli Veggie Stir Fry ~ Thurs Night Football

Good 50º very very foggy morning. Full Moon.... be very careful out there today!

Yesterday afternoon's sunset... 4:25pm

Three years ago today it snowed. Two years ago today we realized how screwed we were with Obummer's re-election!

One year ago today nothing of note happened. Today we realize how screwed we are in Oregon and California with the crappy election results!

The following Brian's pal Dan wrote on his FB page. Excellent.

"I knew it was inevitable but I had hoped that my state was not filled with blind liberals who can't see past the D after the name on the voters card. I am disappointed this day to be part of an electorate that would vote for an incumbent who is accused of multiple infractions of justice in the course of his job. Ashamed of my fellow Oregonians that voted for a man who stole jobs from Oregon businesses for his girlfriends gain. I am disheartened to know my fellow citizens do not care that this man would subdue evidence in a way that makes Obama blush and demonstrates a corruption in our very justice system designed to protect us from such men. And lastly I am disenfranchised that they would vote for someone who has thrown away hundreds of millions of dollars like so much toilet paper and not batted an eye over a man that has fought tooth and nail to stop such waste and created safe guards which were put in place and then ignored by this man who can not be called leader! For shame is on us all to have let such decay fester in our streets. Mine is a hope that my children will lead their generation to build a good home in place of the one my generation is burning to the ground."

 

From my friend Jon Austin...  LOL!

Went into Grants Pass yesterday and got my car back and turned in the loaner. Sigh........... so HAPPY to have my comfortable big truck back!!!!

Stopped in Rogue River for errands and took this picture of the changing colors...

 

Dinner was another experiment. Had some ravioli in the freezer and some stir fry veggies, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese...  Stir fried the mushrooms, set aside. Stir fried the veggies and added in some of Jeannie's tomatoes. Set aside.

Cooked the ravioli in salted water... (the wooden spoon keeps the pot from overflowing when boiling)

Drained and stir fried the ravioli until browned...

Everything back into the big fry pan and mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheese added.... Heat through, stirring...

Taaaa daaaa.... OMGOOOOD!!!! Dished up the veggies and ravioli on a bed of baby spinach.

National Donut Day

(My favs are Krispy Kremes! Unfortunately the closest is in Beverton, Or which is 250 miles away and the only one I generally drive by on my way to California is in Stockton Ca which is 375 miles away. I guess it's a good thing, non are close! OINK!)

DOUGHNUT or DONUT A doughnut is a small, fried ring of sweet, leavened dough. Doughnuts leavened with baking powder are more dense than the fluffier, yeast-leavened doughnuts. Originally a Dutch recipe without a hole, the dough is dropped into hot oil, and was originally called an olykoek, or oily cake. The first written reference to “doughnut” is in Washington Irving’s 1809 in History of New York, where he writes of “balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog’s fat, and called doughnuts, or olykoeks.”

It is said that in 1847, 16-year-old Hanson Gregory created the hole in the center of the doughnut by using the top of a round tin pepper container to punch the holes, so the dough would cook evenly. There are many types of doughnuts. Just a few include bismarks or jelly doughnuts, raised doughnuts leavened with yeast, squares and twists, crullers made from twisted cake-doughnut dough and French doughnuts made with cream-puff pastry dough. They can be filled or unfilled, plain, glazed or iced.
