The New Coffee Room

I think all of my dinners are a protein and a vegetable.

Occasionally rice as well (not as ‘the vegetable’). Potatoes or pasta maybe half a dozen times a year each. Probably less.

Can’t wait to see where Candace Owens goes with this.

This was posted 11 hours ago, so she died on Thanksgiving day.

By the way my Turkey turned out really good this year and was not much of a pain at all. I got a Shady Brook Farms pre-brined turkey (which I didn't really until I was opening the package to brine it). I went ahead and added some salt to the outside of the bird anyway and let it sit about 6 hours in the fridge (I meant to do it the night before but forgot).

Threw in some aromatics, tied it up and cooked it. No basting either. Color was perfect, texture was, well, roasted turkey. I didn't make gravy because last year I found myself the only one using it, everyone else prefers my cranberry sauce. So I just made the cranberry sauce (10m) and not worrying about gravy makes the turkey cooking easier. I made some potatoes au gratin and a caesar salad. Kt was only 3 of us so I didn't make a truckload of sides.

Other than salting the bird, I didn't lift a finger until noon and we ate at 5:30. Not bad really.

@Horace Nice.

People don't realize the vast difference between quality balsamic vinegar and average grocery store stuff.

That was great.

Now it’s being reported that the shooter drove from Washington state with this intention.

Mag7 is pushing 40% of the S&P. Huge chuck of that valuation is AI

That’s nonsensical.

Ok then, show me where I broadly implied this was his fault.

Neither have I. Haven’t sold a thing since I bought my house over a year ago. Nd that was mostly bonds and foreign stocks.

Given your track record, you can't even say that with a straight face.

This smells of TDSDS. Show me where I pinned this on Trump. Highlight the line.

@Mik said in Two National Guardsmen shot in DC altercation:

But I suppose it's as good an excuse as any to pin it on Trump. It clearly doesn't take much.

I didn’t pin it on Trump. I questioned his response. Big difference.

Here’s why it makes no sense.

To the extent that there’s a heightened security risk, it would be copycats. (Perhaps especially Islamic copycats).

All adding 500 troops would do in that case is enrich the target environment. At the end of the day, anyone willing to trade his life for that of a guardsman or two can do so, barring some bad luck.

When one votes, one votes for the entire basket of consequences.

Ok, tariff boy.
