Garlic Goldfish snacks

The Garlic Goldfish (a perennial favorite Christmas snack) have arrived! 

Actually, they were assembled by yours truly, in a couple hours standing at the iron skillet, Worcestershire, Blue Bonnet margarine and garlic powder at-the-ready.  Then slow baked until dry and toasty.
(For the uninitiated, this is a snack I’ve made traditionally for years.  Originally, I made standard Chex Mix, with the requisite addition of peanuts, pretzels and the like.  With a tablespoon of this, a dash of that.  I determined two things – people singled out the Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers for consumption so the other ingredients were wasted, and screw this tablespoon-dash thing!)
I cover roughly 9/10 of the bottom of the skillet with Worcestershire, add 1/2 a stick of margarine, and sprinkle garlic powder generously.  Then marinate a pan full of crackers until they soak it all up.  Transfer all to a turkey roasting pan and bake @ 300* or so, turning every 10 minutes of so to check for burning, until they are all dry and crispy.  (I use Blue Bonnet because it’s cheap and takes the high heat.)
I used to make these in massive quantities for Christmas when I was employed and bring them into work.  It became such a tradition that folks would start asking me in September if I was bringing in goldfish that year!   Thanks to Guffaw in Arizona blog.http://armedlaughing.wordpress.com/2013/12/20/the-garlic-goldfish-have-arrived/

You have to know darkness to appreciate the light

If you study or at least read a little History one can find numerous instances of evil or dark acts being committed by mankind. These acts are usually under the supervision or direction of some sort of Government. Hitler,Stalin,Mao the list goes on an that just the mid 20th century. So when I came across this art it spoke to me of truth. I know what evil is no doubt you do too,but this work of art with just a few words an the right picture spoke volumes. Don't know if it is the season or just feeling pessimistic about life in general today.

Peanut Butter Fudge

PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE 3 cups Sugar 3/4 cup Evaporated Milk 1 cup Peanut Butter 1 small jar (7-8 oz) Marshmallow Cream 1 teaspoon Vanilla Instructions Mix the sugar and evaporated milk in saucepan. Bring milk mixture to a boil. Boil stirring constantly, until it reaches the soft ball stage 235 degrees. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, marshmallow cream and vanilla. Stir until well blended. Spread into a 9 by 13 inch greased pan and let cool. Once set cut into serving sized pieces. Two of my favorite who can say no to fudge. I remember Mom making chocolate fudge an giving me the little soft ball of fudge when she was making it. I use to set around like a vulture an watch as she made it.

VHT epoxy paint for bullet lube

here is how I applied it

1. spray just a little bit in the mixing tube. I just sprayed it until I saw a tiny pool of paint.
2. put in 200 9mm 124gr tc boolits, and do the hippy hippy shakes until they start to stick.
3. put them on the screen and let them dry, drying times may vary but in my 120 degree garage it took about 10 minutes.
4. oven bake on 300 for 10 minutes.
5. repeat
6. repeat          Found this on cast bullet forum an it sounds like a inexpensive coating for bullet          lube to prevent leading . It is about $9 on Amazon have not tried it myself but I think it is worth checking out for reloading. You want to do this outside for safety, heat in a second hand store cheap toaster oven that you check for the 300 degree. I think a dream whip container to mix the epoxy an bullets should  work.                                                                     

Hebrews 13:2 Why not!

Hebrews 13:2

New International Version (NIV)

² Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing  it.       >    I've never been a big supporter of organized religions but still I believe that mankind is here for a reason.. I also believe there are  higher lifeforms in this Universe and if there are an infinite number of Universes as some Physicist believe. Higher lifeforms,sentient lifeforms must exist. I believe this because on several occasions I've seen things UFO an strange unnatural things happen. I don't believe it was just my imagination for people with me also have seen strange things. Of course some of these may have a natural explanation but twice those UFO made me a believer. I have several friends who have also seen things they could not explain. Then we have miracles or feelings that can't be explained, they do happen and the skeptics and naysayers explain it away. On several occasions I've witnessed an been in contact with humans and animals who have died violently. I felt their soul or life force leave the body it is the only way I can explain it. I have also been close to people I've known who died of natural causes and I felt nothing. So go figure, my point is that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction and I've been close to people who were they angel/demons or just regular good/bad people. I'm not sure they were different an not normal and again no way to explain what was different about these encounters. I guess the end of the year when you get old brings back memories and you have reflections on your life and wonder about God,Alien life forms  and such? That was a question because I don't have the faith that Christians,an other major religious followers have in the religions that they embrace. They believe in their Gods,Angels and Demons and for myself I can't be an Atheist for I believe in something and I guess that faith is in Life in the Universe an older civilizations than our own. I believe they are aware of us and probably visit or even have people on Earth watching us. They may have created us. Why not you the Christians,Jews an Muslims all believe your God/Allah created you so why not. Yes indeed why not                                                                                                                                                                                                            

This guy wants to double the Federal Gas Tax,don't believe his lies and seriously Oregon vote this ass out next year no excuses.

$17 Trillion in debt an still climbing

The United States government is over $17 trillion in debt. That is over $56,641 of debt for every man, woman, and child in the country.
In the past four years alone, debt has skyrocketed from 75% to more than 105% of GDP. Nothing strike as much fear in a capitalist heart as the loss of $ lets call it wealth since dollars can be converted to wealth the "dollar $" at least all that your worth should not be your only wealth. Land,property,precious metals ie gold,silver an even Art and jewels have all been alternatives to paper money for many years. For good reason the paper money can default an has since it invention,the primary reason has been the greedy people who print it love to go to war an buy votes and they don't mind using your wealth and savings by taxing and devaluing the significance of your hard labor to earn said dollar during better economic times. LBJ did away with silver in our coins in 1964.http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/07/the_year_1965_and_the_destruction_of_american_currency.html    reference the link  from American Thinker blog and you can draw your own conclusions. Silver coins and silver certificates soon were no longer backed by silver. FDR did away with gold in 1933 but Ford reversed this in 1974.You can legally hold gold coins and bars again but what the Government gifted they can take away. It would not strictly speaking be Constitutional but that has never stopped them before. So diversify your holdings,your wealth should be divided up as best as you can for your age and needs. Talk with a financial adviser for some of your needs but putting all your eggs in all paper is not the best way to go. I'm no financial adviser but my wife is an I know she loves paper and is not a student of history. So study history an see what has worked in the recent past some paper has to held but some should go else where. Thats my 2 cents. Oh and don't think the all seeing eye is not watching they want our wealth. That is one of the reasons for the Patriot Act it is not all about Muslim terrorist.      

USS Arizona Memorial

Back in April '72 my ship the USS Newport News stopped in Hawaii on  the way to Vietnam and I got a chance to stop by The USS Arizona Memorial. It was a sobering experience,and one I will never forget. Today December 7,2013 should be a time when every American should take a moment to remember those who have given their lives to protect our Nation.
