Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of the United States of America particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Established as May 30th in the years following the Civil War, it is celebrated on the last Monday of May ——- God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust these United States of America to Your loving care.
You are the rock on which this nation was founded.
You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people.
Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation’s leaders.
Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.
Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will.
Lead us into a new millennium of life. We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Every time I read a rant about how safe the Covid-19 vaccines must be because the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) “APPROVED” its use – just read all the Head Lines.
An FDA WAIVER is NOT an APPROVAL – it is NOT a recognition of efficacy – it is a statement that this drug/vaccine/treatment is NOT FULLY TESTED but MIGHT HELP.
Well no, NONE of the vaccines have been approved – everyone getting the vaccine is part of the ongoing drug trials – apparently small may the number be, some good people are getting really sick and others are dying from these vaccines.
In other headlines today, if the NY Yankees are any measure, the vaccines are NOT helping. In fact, there seems to be some evidence they are really spreading the disease in some cases. then we really need to consider if these vaccines are helpful. We also might find it good to ask and research why other countries are suspending their programs.
It is my opinion that we also need to be spending quite a bit more time and energy on treatment options. Just like SARS or Flu or any number of other diseases – that Geni is NOT going back in the bottle – Yes, since so many are willing, go ahead with the trials in progress.
Remember under the US CDC we have not eliminated diseases like Cancer, HIV, Heart Disease, Diabetes, and well the list goes on, but we have made great strides in treatment and that is where we need to focus in the near term.
Comprehension is Key to Useful Communication. There is no Comprehension until there is someone willing to listen to more than the echoes of one’s own version of the facts.
When I wrote this, paraphrasing words of an unknown author, now I do think it should have said a bit more .
Like the importance of not just listening but willing to listen to ALL that is said, not just what might further your narrative,
Because just maybe your current narrative is based incorrect information or innuendos not fact needs to be at least re-evaluated and as likely changed.
This was been a hard learned lesson but may explain why there are topics I find it useless to address – because they are not asking questions to learn, only to find more ways to twist reality with their alcohol induced fantasies/narratives.
No matter how carefully stored, Flour has a shelf life – sometimes it needs to be used up so you can restock and yeah, you may have overstocked in a moment of pandemic pantry panic. Flour is the one ingredient I always choose to weigh out. Most other dry ingredients can be safely measured with measuring cups or spoons.
Inexpensive (non-sealing) bread bags are excellent for holding the mixes. making it easy to store multiple pre-mixes in a single larger freezer zip=lock. Individual labels with type of mix (bread, pizza, etc) and date prepped can be used to loosely seal the mix in the bread bags. I know there are less expensive freezer bags, but my experience with other brands, especially store brands has not been a happy experience. Since the more expensive freezer bag can easily be reused.
Just a reminder, if you freeze pre-mixes of dry ingredients, it is always good to let it come to room temp. For yeasted foods, best to not to add to the mix so you can proof separately.
The first part of the story was posted some weeks ago at: https://wheatcarr.com/2021/03/11/kitchenaid-blade-grinder/ Since then, I have been putting this baby thru its paces and the KitchenAid Blade Grinder is exactly what I hoped it would be
.
I have a similar blade grinder that we use exclusively for coffee but it is a PIA to clean. The bowl is not able to be removed, so was not useful for other kitchen needs.
I wanted one I could use for Herbs and spices to make my custom seasoning blends. Making my own blends is a necessity both for flavor and allergy reasons.
The KitchenAid blade grinder worked perfectly, because the bowl/blade assembly is removable, it was easy breezy to clean between each set of ingredients.
Did everything from making a seasoning blend for Gyro to a paste of fresh ginger and garlic.
Oh, and did I mention it was RED – very happy to have this InMySmallKitchen.
