Just chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, olive oil, garlic, salt/pepper for the basic recipe.

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 was a delightful breakfast bake of biscuits, eggs, ham, and cheese. There is plenty left over, which means I will be a very happy (and slightly fattened) fish by the end of the weekend.

Needed for hummus. (Which, if all you’ve ever had is storebought hummus, you do need to give the fresh stuff a try. It is WAY different, even if I am still occasionally kind of meh about it.)

Also for the dip I make, which uses cottage cheese and the Hidden Valley Ranch dip packets to make an uber tasty and much healthier ranch dip.

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.

Behold this piece of awsomeness.… If you count up the signatories, its a whopping 180…..

May 12, 2017

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.

Respectfully submitted,

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).

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.

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.

158
The Major (fka Eric The Fruit Bat)  May 12, 2017 • 8:47:15pm

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.
