Political Atheist

Last night after her driving class Antonia let me know that she's not ready for the responsibility with driving. Also, she wants to wait until she is eighteen. Here is what happened. Last night the instructor was showing films on drunk driving. I had been inside and I saw one of them. However, I went outside to talk with a lady I worked at Kroger's with. Her granddaughter is also doing the class. We sat out in her vehicle talking until about ten minutes before the class let out. I had no idea how graphic the last film was. Antonia got into the car and started talking about the film. It was awful and I don't know why they showed it. Well, I didn't at that moment. I do now that I've had time to think about the reasoning. On the drive home I offered to let her drive in an abandoned parking lot of the old KMart. She declined! The film was that graphic. Then she went on to tell me. After talking for a while she decided that a.) she's not ready to handle a hundred...

I just came across an article on RT (of course) which Prime Minister Orban from Hungry has made it clear that in May 2019 Christain Democracy will crush the EU forced multiculturalism (Hanschke, 2018) Granted the rise of populism has made the EU nervous, however, they will learn from their mistakes. These people are educated and they know very well who they take orders from. It's not who you might think. There is a new plan to keep England in the EU. A second vote on Brexit. Why do you think this is happening now? Now for the fun stuff... I have the next two or three days planned out for canning projects. Tomorrow it will be four different applications with beans: Boston Baked, Maple, Ranch, and Chili. Monday will be Chicken Cacciatore and Chicken Noodle Soup base. Of course, you can't can pasta or rice. Tuesday is going to be vegetable soups. Including a Minestrone. I have all the jars I will need and I think Antonia is starting to warm up to the idea of canning. Refer...

I have truly enjoyed this process. So far I have canned chicken, mangos, Mango Butter, and potatoes. We had a jar of the potatoes last night for dinner. They were fantastic. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought they'd been baked. They were that good. Here is what I have learned so far: 1. Don't be afraid of the pressure canner. First of all, let's understand something up front. The pressure cookers we get can't reach the temperature that a pressure canner can reach. I love my Instant Pot Pressure cooker. I know I can use it to cook foods to be packed up and put in the canner. 2. You have to take the time to understand how the rating of acidity works. Ball Blue Books are an excellent source of information. They break everything down and explain so it's easy to understand. 3. Talk to people who have been canning for years if possible. Talk to people in the produce section of your grocer. I was in my local Kroger and asked an employee about tur...
