Try adding jalapenos, and I heartily concur with klys about dill pickles. For me, an unrecoverable breadoholic, hummus is about the accompanying bread and crackers as much, if not more. as hummus — my favorite being the freshly baked pita from Damascus Bread & Pastry on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a legendary store I’ve been dreaming about working at for decades.
Dang, I just drooled on my shirt thinking about their pita.
Dinner here at casa klys tonight is meatloaf and portabello mushroom ravioli with homemade mushroom marinara sauce, served with a tossed Greek salad. Or at least it will be served when someone comes home from the office, grumble grumble.

Honestly the kitchen toy that gets the most use for me is the mini food processor that just lives on the counter. It holds like 3 cups max, which is just large enough to make one thing of dip, and it means I never have to chop the garlic again.
And it goes in the dishwasher.

For me, my superhero of kitchen awesomeness is the deep fryer. I know, I know, it’s so unhealthy, but I fry with peanut oil and it is soooooo delicious. And as long as we exercise portion control, it’s not completely destructive to our diet.

We mostly fry date night snacks with it. Chicken nuggets, fries, chicken wings, fish filets, popcorn shrimp, etc. Because of the nature of the event, it’s a rare-ish occasion and small amounts at once. It makes it so easy to fry and so easy to clean up. The only complication is that I’ve upped the rate of filtering the oil, in order to preserve it for longer.

Rod J. Rosenstein, Esq.
Deputy Attorney General of the United States
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20530-0001
Dear Mr. Deputy Attorney General:
We, the undersigned, are former United States Attorneys and Assistant United States Attorneys for the Southern District of New York. In view of the recent termination of James Comey as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, we are writing to request that you appoint a special counsel to oversee the FBI’s continuing investigation of Russian interference with the 2016 Presidential election and related matters. This letter is addressed to you rather than the Attorney General since he has recused himself from this matter.
As you know, Jim has had a long and distinguished career with the Department of Justice, beginning with his appointment as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York serving under United States Attorneys Rudolph Giuliani, Benito Romano and Otto Obermaier from 1987 through 1993. He returned to the Southern District of New York in 2002 when he was appointed the United States Attorney and served in that capacity until he was confirmed as Deputy Attorney General in 2003. Most of us came to know Jim when he worked in the Southern District of New York. Many of us know him personally. All of us respect him as a highly professional and ethical person who has devoted more than 20 years of his life to public service.
While we do not all necessarily agree with the manner in which he dealt with the conclusion of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, we sincerely believe that his abrupt and belated termination for this conduct, occurring months later and on the heels of his public testimony about his oversight of the investigation of Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election, has the appearance - if not the reality - of interfering with that investigation. Even if this investigation continues unabated, there is a substantial risk that the American people will not have confidence in its results, no matter who is appointed to succeed him, given that the Director of the FBI serves at the pleasure of the President. We believe it is critical in the present political climate and clearly in the public’s interest that this investigation be directed by a truly independent, non-partisan prosecutor who is independent of the Department of Justice, as is contemplated by 28 C.F.R. §600.1.
We are Republicans, Democrats and independents. Most importantly, we are proud alumni and alumnae of the Department of Justice. We do not suggest that you or any other members of the Department of Justice or a newly appointed Director of the FBI would not conduct yourselves properly, but the gravity of this investigation requires that even the appearance of political involvement in this investigation be avoided. As former prosecutors, we believe the only solution in the present circumstances would be to appoint a Special Counsel pursuant to 28 C.F.R. §600.1, and we urge you to take that course.

Jesus H. Yahoo Serious Christ, I can’t believe A Game of Thrones is sixty-four days and twenty-two hours away! Arrggh, I may throw myself upon a Valyrian steel sword!
Sorry, had to vent.
So many facets of my life where I’m losing hope —- sigh — I don’t believe GRRM will ever complete TWOW.
And I guess I should invoke the Iron Fist rule on myself. Good night, gentle Lizardim.
Current mood: fighting against the part of my mind that’s telling me Trump may actually turn the US into an autocracy led by villains.

If the Trump presidency ends up in some spectacular disaster, the NRO goon squad will blame that on Clinton as well. So this is just a preview of coming attractions.
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy wasn’t she elected? Our income flow would’ve been magnificent!
Same with all the RWNJ media. They’re hurting now, because it’s difficult to defend the crazy yam & hound up followers with the same shit they’ve been saying for years = Dems bad.

That’s because Republicans are evil shitbirds with lots of power. If we get very lucky, Trump might get thrown out, but it’s hard to see how the Republicans can be reduced to the level of political power their positions merit (i.e., less than 5% support nationwide).

But so far, the Republicans are ignoring this. It seems that they are fine with this monster, Kim Don Yuuge, because he is giving them what they want: huge tax cuts for the wealthy, stripping health care from millions, a Scalia-clone for the stolen Supreme Court seat, deregulating banks and business — what’s not to like from their perspective. They don’t care about Russian influence — especially now that Russians are no longer communist but rather the biggest kleptocracy in the world.

I don’t expect Republicans to do something about Trump because it’s the right thing to do.
I do expect them to do something about him if it becomes clear that their potential future in DC is on the line.
Making that clear is up to us as voters and isn’t going to happen overnight.

I’m seeing/hearing more and more commentators on the Right talking about how bad this is becoming. I believe that at some point it will tip over and opinions in the House and Senate will change fast. No one will want to be the last person holding out for Trump.

Except Nixon was not insulting people daily, trying to dismantle the federal government (remember he created the EPA), speaking like a slow ten year old, showing his ignorance about every aspect of government and its history, and stealing from the taxpayers. If Nixon had behaved like Trump — he never would have been elected.

Too bad there’s no troll we can roast….
Also, what people say in public (“Of course I still support the Trump administration!”) is not always what they say off the record and I’m hearing an awful lot of reports (including right now on Washington Week) that a lot of Republicans are worried about the general disarray which is keeping them from getting anything done. Trump is sucking all the air out of the room.
If this thing does go down, it really sucks that we’ll have to live with actions perpetrated by a traitorous regime that was compromised by a hostile foreign power. Like how do we let a SCOTUS appointment stand? How do any of their actions get blended in as legitimate? I know there is no election do-over but if this breaks the way I think it eventually will, everything the regime did should be reversed. It’s a perverse thought that they still would get some legitimacy and some ‘wins’ even from jail.

They’ll do it via banning “terrorists” from owning guns - that way they can get liberals, blacks, Muslims, and anyone else they want. And the right wing gun nutz will cheer, not understanding that they too will suffer in the long run.

The Republicans had a chance recently to ban those on the terrorism watch list from buying guns and chose to bow to the NRA instead.

re: #155 Charles Johnson
Few of Mr. Trump’s eruptions have had such a destructive effect on his administration or left such deep resentments among his scarred staff, according to Trump aides and surrogates. And the blowback from the Comey decision and the way it was handled have accelerated the discussions about possible changes in the White House.
The problem is, it is not clear what type of changes Mr. Trump is prepared to make or who he can draw as a replacement. In the short term, Mr. Trump and his team have focused their energies on a familiar fixation — rooting out leaks in the leaky West Wing.
It remains a stunning blank spot in the Trump team’s political instincts that they can’t put two and two together and understand why the leaks are happening.
This is a whopper from the NYTimes article on Trump’s threatened retaliation against Comey and canceling future press conferences:
The difference, according to Luke A. Nichter, a historian at Texas A&M University who has specialized in the tapes, is that “Nixon’s rantings were done in private,” and he did not cancel news briefings. “The reason I have a hard time with the label Nixonian is that we’ve surpassed it,” Mr. Nichter said. “To be Trumpian is something of a greater magnitude than simply being Nixonian.”

Oh, I think they understand all right: which is no more-reassuring a prospect than if they were truly ignorant.
The Trump White House, as far I can tell, has taken about three month to get to the point of Terminal (late-summer-‘74) Nixonism - no, scratch that: the Trump regime started its Administration at the point of terminal Nixonism. And, astonishingly, has managed to find a way to go downhill from Day 1.
