How I feel

Most folks know I do not care for our president.  Maybe you also know I do not care for Joe Biden.  For years, I've not been true to myself because I have been voting for the one who I think is the least dangerous.  I've decided that's like having to choose what kind of poison I'd like to have to kill myself, and I'm done with it.  I am betraying myself when I do that.

Just so you know, I used to be a Republican.  When I first became old enough to vote, I didn't realize it, but I was voting Republican because my parents did.  Later on I saw reasons why I was leaning to the right.  Over the years, with the left looking worse, I stayed on the right.

I don't like to take part in killing babies.  I don't try to convince other folks about that; it's their business.  They have the right to their opinion, and that's how they should feel about me.  I do remember telling two of my granddaughters long ago, "If you ever get an abortion, please don't tell me; I don't want to know."

I don't like people giving teenagers (or younger) a sex change.  Young people don't even know what they want.  I am not talking about gay people.  

Adults can do what they want with their own lives.  I may not like their choices, but that's their right.  They don't scare me and they have their right to live as they want to.  I just don't think I should honor them for simply breathing, but I will accept them.  I don't think anyone should treat a kind, good human being with hatred.  

I would like to have a president who is real and doesn't brag about how smart he is, one who wouldn't make fun of people and lie about everything.

If that's all I have, I'm not voting.

Here's something I've noticed:  When Trump first appeared on the scene, his followers were all trying to change those of us who didn't like him.  This time it's the Democrats doing all the talking.  I know they think they are saving the country, but it isn't that easy to change people's minds.  

This is an unusual thing for me to be talking about, and it's the last time I'm talking politics.  I know I have very nice people who won't agree; I just want you to know what I think, since I've already seen your views more than once and will likely keep reading them. 

Peace.   

I'm doing some cooking today

With everyone talking about the price of eggs, I have to admit that it isn't hurting us as much as other folks.  We have perhaps four eggs between us for breakfasts in a week, and often not that many.  And since I don't have an oven, I can't make cookies, which normally is where most of my eggs go.  I do have a small chocolate cake recipe I make in a nine by nine cake pan, putting the pan in the electric skillet; so Cliff can have some cake once in awhile.  

I also found out I can make dump cake in the crock pot.   At least, I've found many recipes that say I can.  We'll see.  It's only been cooking for a little over an hour and a half, and it needs three or four hours to finish.  I imagine everybody knows what dump cake is.  There was a time in the past I made it often, simply because it's delicious with ice cream and it's easy to make.

Back to the subject of eggs.  It's been three or four weeks since I  bought the last dozen eggs that were in my refrigerator, and I thought maybe I'd better use them sooner rather than later.  There were three left, and since that's exactly how many eggs it takes for noodles, and we so love noodles, I decided that's how I would use them.

Normally I like to cook chicken legs or thighs, bone in and skin on, because the bone and skin are what give broth and noodles their great flavor.  After they are boiled, I remove the skin and bones and just the meat goes into the lovely broth.  Unfortunately, all I had in the freezer was skinless breasts (none of the fat I needed), but I also had some of that weak broth that comes in a carton to help the situation; I also tossed half a stick of butter in to compensate.  I was just getting ready to pour the chicken broth in the pan in and I was prepared to boil the breasts when I noticed something new: The box said "SPICY chicken broth".  I took a taste thinking maybe it would be all right, but it was really hot!  It would have been great in soup, but spicy noodles?  I don't think so.  I had half a quart of regular broth in the refrigerator and put it in.  It's still pretty spicy.  Here's hoping I'm not ruining my noodles.

Either way, I'm going to eat those noodles if it kills me!
