Simple Little Cookie Stamp and Peanut Butter Cookies

By trkingmomoe on Thu, 11/13/2014 - 12:18pm |

I was wandering through Walmart the other day waiting for my grand daughter get her hair cut. So I took a look in the cake decorating isle and found this little cookie stamp by Nordic Ware.  I try to buy something every year from Nordic Ware because all their products are American made.  Only now after 20 + years of doing this I have quite a collection of bake ware and have run out of space to store it.

I received this in my email from the Whitehouse today.  Why couldn't he have done this before the election?

Squash Custard Pie

By trkingmomoe on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 7:52pm |

This is a little different from the traditional Pumpkin Pie but it does have good flavor.  Butternut squash does make a better pie but I was surprised how good the acorn squash turned out.  I had 2 halves left over from a meal that no one wanted.  I had baked more then one squash.  I add a maple sausage patty to each piece when baking and that makes the acorn squash a main dish.  I didn't want to waste the pudding squash so I chose to make it into a custard pie.

Guy Cecil, Chairmen of The DSCC Explain's Ground Game, The Path to Keeping The Senate

By trkingmomoe on Sat, 10/25/2014 - 4:38am |

There has been so much spin about how the Democrats will lose the Senate this year by beltway pundits that most will be surprised at how well the Democrats will do in the end.  This election the Democratic Party has funded by the tune of $66 million dollars GOTV effort called The Bannock Street Project.  This effort is in all the states with competitive Senate seats. They started out by registering voters in low turn out parts of the states that are the natural base to the party.  These are voters that are normally not polled in the final weeks before election because of LV models.  Most are voters that have never voted before.  The get out to vote offices follow through with further contacts to make sure they do vote.  It is a system that helps the voter get what is needed to register and transportation also if needed to vote. What it comes down to is who gets their supporters to the polls.

Holy Crap, The Scott Just Hit The Fan

By trkingmomoe on Thu, 10/16/2014 - 3:11am |

And it left little bits of Scott Crap all over the place.  

Last night Rick Scott delayed the debate with Charley Crist over the fact that Crist had requested a fan under his podium.  He claimed that there was an agreement that there would not be any electronics in the debate.  He insisted that it include a fan.  Remember the wire that GW Bush wore in his debates. That is what is meant by electronics, something to communicate with.  The fan is an electrical machine.

Blueberry Pie From Frozen Berries-Quick and Easy

By trkingmomoe on Tue, 10/14/2014 - 2:24am |

I see frozen blueberries all the time at the grocery store.  It just never crossed my mind to use them in pie.  Even though I used to pick blueberries when I lived in Ohio and froze them to use for pies years ago.  I usually buy the pie filling already made in cans because I live to far south to grow them.  Because it takes two cans to make a 9 inch pie, blueberry pie is reserved for special occasions.

Amazing Thing Happened on Meet the Press

By trkingmomoe on Sun, 10/05/2014 - 10:25pm |

You could of knocked me over with a feather.  It was about time some one made the Reince Priebus look like the idiot he is on women's health issues.  I never expected Chuck to bring this up with him.  Thank you Meet the Press.  You keep this up and you will go back to number one on Sunday morning.

This Rick Scott Ad is going to back fire.

By trkingmomoe on Fri, 10/03/2014 - 11:38pm |

Just when you think you have seen all the stupid that the GOP can come up, they find a new one. I just saw this one on my TV this morning.  I thought my grand daughter in law was going to throw her shoe at the TV.  This ad hit a nerve and she found it insulting and sexist.  Me I was laughing at the latest, clueless, stupid, out of touch shit from the GOP.
