Arkansas Granny's JournalIt's turkey frame soup day.
My daughter and I spent Thanksgiving with one of my sons and extended family. For many years we have made turkey soup the day after. Sometimes we only add veggies, sometimes we add rice. This year I have been requested to make homemade noodles which we've never done before.
I'm enlisting 4 teenaged grandchildren to help. They all got involved with dinner prep yesterday and we had a good time. Today they are having pie for breakfast.
Question about recipe ingredient.
This recipe looks very interesting, but I don't understand the addition of white vinegar. What exactly does it do for the pie?
Ingredients
3 whole Eggs, Beaten
1-½ cup Sugar
1 cup Flaked Coconut
1 stick Butter, Melted
1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 pinch Salt
1 whole 9" Uncooked Pie Shell
Preparation Instructions
Mix filling ingredients well and pour into the pie shell. Bake at 350F for 1 hour.
I'm definitely going to try this, but was curious about the vinegar.
Trump putting RFK Jr. in charge of women's health reminds me of this from 2005.
Remember how George W. Bush selected as his FEMA director a man whose last job involved judging horse shows for the International Arabian Horse Association? Well, the president's Food and Drug Administration commissioner has appointed an acting director for the Office of Women's Health, and he's a man -- a man! -- who has spent much of his career working in the field of veterinary medicine.

This gives me a little insight regarding how Republicans view women.
So he has the Presidency, the House, the Senate and SCOTUS.
I don't see anything good coming from this.
I have received a New Product Test Invitation from Amazon.
According to the card, "You will not only get free product here but also commission for your time and effort!" Has anyone done this or know someone who has? I'm not sure what all is involved with this.
So I asked my daughter today if she would be ordering her usual Arnold Palmer the next time she went out to eat.
Her response: Oh, God, no!
I voted today. Blue all the way down the ballot.
I know it's a blue dot in our red state, but we have to start somewhere.
The top ten reasons not to vote for Donald Trump.
https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-10-20/election-donald-trump-kamala-harrisThe only challenge here was limiting myself to 10 arguments against Donald Trump (and one good reason to vote for Kamala Harris). So, drum roll, working toward No. 1:
10: As president, he violated his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
Ask Mike Pence, who forfeited his place as Trumps ticket mate to Ohio Sen. JD Vance because Pence wouldnt violate the Constitution; Vance would. Even after leaving office, Trump called for terminating parts of it so he could regain power. No one should think hed keep the oath if given a second chance, especially when the Supreme Court that he packed has ruled that presidents are virtually immune from prosecution.
Let's play Clue - Version 2024
https://x.com/davematt88/status/1837249294270607842?t=-755TN_4CetmfVrYO0x6bg&s=19I realize this is purely anecdotal, but I don't see Trump signs all over the place like I did in 2016 and 2020.
As I've been driving around town and in rural areas of this deep red state, I have been watching for campaign signs. I see a lot of signs for local and statewide candidates, but I can't recall the last Trump sign I've seen. In 2020, people around here were littering their yards with signs, driving around in trucks with multiple flags and stickers and wearing MAGA hats and t-shirts. This year, nada.
To be fair, I'm not seeing Harris/Walz signs either, so I don't know if this is a good sign or not, but it does seem like the enthusiasm for Trump is waning, at least in my neck of the woods.
