Its cold in the northeast and they're gonna get some snow. Guess what, its friggin January. Happens every dad gummed year.

The liberal media acts like its never happened.

Sheesh.

balmy -2 this AM, about 4" of new snow, but we're on the down hill side of winter. :bj

16 here this morning and headed to 34 for a high. That's about right for January. The most 'Oklahomaness' part of the deal is it was 68 two days ago and in the low 60's yesterday.

And, your Federal government is closed even though it didn't start snowing until five minutes ago. On the upside, I did throw together a batch if chili verde in the crockpot before I headed into work this morning. I'm gonna pair it up with some jalepeno cornbread and cold cervesas. Man, I can smell it now!

[BarryBobPosthole]

I've gotten to where I like green salsa and green chili almost more than the red kind. Especially enchiladas.

Salsa verde is all I ever put on my enchiladas. Good stuff.

75 degrees and sunny without a cloud in the sky here today.

Speaking of Washington ... I guess they're having a nice 4-day weekend so far. WHY the "F" is MLK Day a frigging Federal holiday? Isn't it enough that there's no dang city in the country that doesn't have a street named after him? Heck, 99% of our PRESIDENTS don't have a holiday in their honor. Why isn't there a Thomas Edison Day?

(just trying to fit in with the curmudgeon thread) ;)

Racist.

Why isn't there a George Washington Carver Day? ;)

[BarryBobPosthole]

man that sounds scrumdiddlyuptuous. I gotta try that.

[BarryBobPosthole]

I hope you don't mind, I added that to the recipe forum too.

BKB

[Chicken Dinner]

My recipe is similar, but it calls for a healthy dose of ground cumin and ground oregeno as well. I added taters as the recipe calls for 4lbs of pork and I only had two pounds on hand.

I want to go to Chicken Dinner's house for dinner tonight. That seriously looks good!

I'm scrolling by, drinking my water and BAM... all over the damn keyboard.

Here, MLK has to share the day with REL.

[Big Muddy]

Here, MLK has to share the day with REL.

For me and mine, we don't "share" Robert E. Lee Day
with ANYDAYUMBODY !!! ;).

[Buckrub]

Didn't say I did.

Said the state did, here.

I agree with you.

[Thumper]

Sheeesh! Sharing recipes. I swear, sometimes I think this place is being overrun with a bunch'a dang wimmins! :poke

Something neat...
I knew Robert Duvall was a direct descendant of Robert E. Lee so I was trying to look up the relation. All I found was his (Duvall's) mother was direct to Robert E. Lee.
However his (Duvall) ancestor was a man by the name of Mareen Duvall (died1699) and here is what it had to say about all Mareen's descendants.

In genealogies, he is often called "The Emigrant" to distinguish him from several descendants also named Mareen Duvall.[6] His notable descendants include U.S. Presidents Harry S. Truman and Barack Obama, American Vice-President Dick Cheney,[6][7][8] Wallis Simpson (for whom Edward VIII gave up the throne), and actor Robert Duvall.[6]
Other descendants include U.S. Associate Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Duvall, billionaire Warren Buffett, Confederate General Bradley Tyler Johnson,[9] and Confederate spy Betty Duvall.[10]

And if they all lived in the same era, can you imagine that bunch in the same room together?

That's a prodigious dude.

Ain't that right Poshole! They would need security at a family reunion!
How did Chaney and Robert Duvall end up with good sense of of that crowd? ;)

Man, that was some good eats and you just can't beat the smell when you come home from work and something has been simmering in the crockpot all day. I've been tweaking my cornbread recipe to make it more moist and that's coming along very well. In addition to cheese and jalepeno, I threw in an extra egg and a tablespoon of sour cream. Much more moist, but still nothing close to what my grandmother used to make. I sure wish she was alive to give me her recipe as it was almost like a bread pudding in consistency and I can't come close to appoaching that.
