Pickles. Of all the ferments, pickles are my favorite. Borosilicate weights are a good investment. Inexpensive, fit into a mason jar.

I’m sorry. Neck and shoulder pain is the worst. Been having a bit of that myself for the last couple a weeks. Hope it subsides soon. It’s giving me a little break right now, and it is glorious. Here’s to hoping you get some relief soon.

Boy do I relate to that. Hope it gets better.

A more honest and accurate headline would be:

"Trump assured massive profits to fuel Putin's war on Europe while simultaneously paying off oil execs who bankrolled his campaign."

Totally… you can just cut them into chunks too. I usually cut mine into bite-sized chunks for salad. I also eat them as they come out of the can though… sometimes on a slice of bread.

Fork… Go with the fork. It also goes well with potatoes to kind of soak up the juice. Smash those potatoes down to soak up the juice… maybe have a nice schnitzel with it. You will be playing the accordion and making fun of old men before you know it.

By the way… homemade ’kraut is the best ‘kraut. I make mine with apples, sage, dill, juniper, cabbage, and carrots. It’s not hard to make once one has done it once or twice. I have a giant old crock with a big stone weight to hold the cabbage under while it’s fermenting.

Try this:

The spice section. It’s a spice. What are you eating it with? It goes well with pork. I like to put it on hamburgers and salmon too…. But the salmon thing is sort of pro-level.

Try the fermented kind. It’s a lot better for you anyway. Toss some in a pan, throw in a juniper berry (don’t eat the juniper berry), some dill, warm it up…. Mmmmmm….

Never Trump Republicans, or, more accurately, Never Hired by Trump Republicans.

Thus kicks off a shitstorm of very offended, irresponsible people with no understanding of civics who fail to understand the phrase, “A Government Of, By, and For the People,” or what the word, “Representative” means.

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

I love watching border collies work.

He got away with it very publicly once. Now he is just doing what he and all other conservatives and criminals (but I repeat myself) do.… taking it a notch farther knowing there will be no consequences.

Believing a politician is on your side and not just there to make a buck and have the power to push things they want… it’s like believing the stripper really does like you.

It all sounds really good, but to date, I’ve seen zero serious will on the part of our legislators to impeach or punish the rich and powerful. This goes back to before J6. They don’t seem to think the rule of law or justice for Americans is important, which is really insulting if one thinks about it

Yeah… you can’t do that. It makes it a mercenary army. The government of Saudi Arabia proposed paying US troops a bonus for being there during the Gulf War. It was soundly turned down, so they issued us some kind of crazy medal with real gold and silver bits… Saudi-issued liberation of Kuwait medal.

I still wouldn’t recommend comIng here. We are unstable as could be right now, and the rule of law is mostly non-existent.

the smell and sight of a forest after rain is one of the most divine things you can experience

I don’t know if Steve knows this, but it does help a lot if one knows folks and can name some names in the Bush.

Yeah…. Surprisingly, ”come visit a fascist state with no functioning rule of law or effective government that is attacking and killing people around the world, including its own citizens, locking people up so the leaders can profit, and exporting people into slavery isn’t a hot marketing scheme.”

This is concerning. Like doode shot someone and that comes with a penalty… but the wearing of black clothing, movement of magazines, and the whole Antifa thing is right wing drama made into laws.

These entitled weirdos and that finger. I hate being pointed like that in anger by completely disingenuous morons, who, were it not for grift and connections, wouldn’t be noticeable at all.

Government by vibes. I mean given their fascination with AI, which is 99% vibes… it seems to be a theme with “very important and smart” people.
