Non-Political -- Almost

I now have 884 posts on my other blog, The Truth from Iraq, and I started it only in September. I'd have more, but I don't tend to post most features or commander and VIP visits. So, I'm saying with perfect confidence, that I have posted more positive news from Iraq than any of the major new outlets -- including Fox News. And that is real confidence, not Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich confidence. Speaking of Fox News, they're finally getting around this morning to reporting how the NYT distorted the report on Afghan and Iraq war veterans who commit murder. Why do those NYT people do this when they get caught EVERY TIME??? Just further evidence to prove my theory that liberalism is a mental illness, not a political position. There are two restaurants in California called Split Pea Anderson's. Their specialty is all the split pea soup you can eat, and it's delicious -- but not tastier than mine. I made another ham last week and I'm going to make a pot of split pea soup with the bone -- as soon as I finish off the spaghetti I made yesterday. I have to say, this is the best spaghetti sauce I have ever made. For the first time, I put garlic, onions and Italian seasonings into a pound of lean hamburger and then wrapped it in plastic and let it set in the fridge overnight. Then I browned it and let it simmer in the crock pot with the sauce for six hours. Wow! I am looking forward to a day without heat, while they work on the furnace or boiler or whatever heats this so-called luxury apartment building. It is 33 now and won't get above the mid-40s. Luckily, I have my fake fireplace, so I won't have to bundle the cats into the car and sit with the heater on all day. We'll just huddle in front of the amazingly-lifelike flames and watch Animal Planet all day. Breakfast time. Will it be raisin bran or a hotdog? Ahhh, the single life.

How do you put garlic, onions and Italian seasonings INTO a pound of lean hamburger?

I'm not talking about at the molecular level. Just mix it up, like you were making a meatloaf.

I have to apologize for just finding out about your other site: THE TRUTH FROM IRAQ (I need to stop by more often). What a great service you are doing for our military and our country. Of course, I have gladly linked to the site from mine.

You, Sir, are a great American.
