VAL'S GUACAMOLE SALAD WITH CRACKERS Recipe; Ocean Park-WA

My own Guacamole "Salad" concoction.

We had a hankering for Guacamole; and while I was gathering ingredients, I thought, "that shredded cheese & lettuce needs to be used, before they need trashed" - so, that is how this recipe came about 😉

VAL'S EASY-PEASY CROCKPOT CHICKEN SUPPER Recipe: Ocean Park-WA

I like to have chicken on Sunday 👍 - Holland growing up, had so many Sunday Fried Chicken potlucks 😕 at various churches and family gatherings … that he has a permanent dislike for chicken 😒; especially in Sunday ✝️

But, I'm on a mission to change his mind 🙏😘

To my way of thinking, chicken for supper, or for snacking, or for lazy-day drives; is always a winner 😁 And seriously - with so many ways to cook this versatile meat, there's no reason for a boring bite 😉

We like these healthy chickens.

Chicken, no matter how it is prepared, is a solid amount of protein; and simple chicken broth is "Jewish Penicillin". This is no joke - the association of chicken broth with healing, dates back to the 12th Century when the Jewish Physician Maimonides, recommended it for respiratory ailments; which is another reason for it to become a staple in our home, where we both suffer respiratory issues.

A University of Nebraska Medical Center Study in 2000, found that chicken broth slows down inflammation associated with colds & flus. The study also found that it contains cysteine - an amino acid similar to a drug used for bronchitis and other respiratory infections. MPO, is that when onions are added to the broth, and it's even more potent as a respiratory plus 👏

Today's chicken supper recipe is pulled together with simple, no-fuss ingredients that most cooks have at hand; and cooking it in a slowcooker allows your Sunday to be restful & relaxing, because you are spending less time in the kitchen 👌😇🕊️👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

#NOTE: My recipe is for a couple … the left-over chicken is intended to be broken down, placed in Ziploc baggies, & frozen for future meals.

VAL'S EASY-PEASY CROCKPOT CHICKEN SUPPER RECIPE ~ serves 2 - with left-overs

1 whole Chicken * 3 med. Yukon Gold Potatoes, unpeeled (left whole, or cut; your preference) * 1 med. Yellow Onion, peeled & sliced large * 2 or 3 Lrg. Carrots, unpeeled & sliced large * 1/2 c. White Wine * 1/2 c. Water * 3 TBSP. Lemon Juice * 2 sprigs Rosemary * 1 head Garlic, peeled * 1 tsp. Salt Substitute * 2 tsp. grnd. Black Pepper * 8-Qt. Slowcooker Crockpot * meat temperature probe * Aluminum Foil if necessary (explanation below)

1) Scrub veggies (except garlic) - prepare as directed above; place in crockpot.

Garlic 'head'.

2) Combine wine, water, lemon juice, & spices; whisk together, and pour half over veggies: reserve the rest & set aside.

White Wine.

Veggies & half the liquid …

3) Wash chicken: fold wings across back & secure legs to side of breast with little metal skewers (or extra-long toothpicks). Place in crockpot, atop veggies.

4) Pour remaining liquid over chicken.

Chicken added; rest of wine blend, also.

5) Place lid on crockpot (my chicken is very plump, so I wrap a foil collar around lid edges): set temperature to High. In about an hour, reduce temperature to Low & continue cooking 5 hours more - or until temperature probe reads 180°F.

obamanite DEMONRATS SPEAK WITH FORKED TONGUE

The demonrat hypocrisy … force abortions "right!" to murder American babies by the thousands, but demand fetal citizenship for illegal terrorist's children.

You know what?

Illegals come to American with the specific purpose of immediately giving birth to a baby on American soil - and then raise said baby to preach hatred towards American & American Citizens … I've witnessed this up close-and-personal, since the 1970's. It's TIME TO END THE MADNESS.

Babies born to illegals will not be adults until 18 - their parents can "keep the family together!" BY TAKING THIER CHILDREN WITH THEM WHEN THEY ARE DEPORTED - they DO NOT "get full citizenship" through their child: the baby is American, the parents are not.

NO SYMPATHIES given to arrogantly ignorant law-breakers.

THEY created the mess they are living; let them live with the outcome.

QUEEN BUILDING HER EMPIRE

AMEN! 👏👏👏

This Queen (moi) is building her Empire … and I will step across the backs of all the Past chicks to place the kingdom crown on my King's head 😘

ANNOYING MUSLIM DEMANDS

NO!

NO, NO, NO!!!!

Can you imagine if Christians were to do something like this?

This is annoying.

islam is a demonically inspired political overthrow of every country it has set roots in - islam is not a "religion"; it is a blood-thirsty political brainwashing.

This is WRONG in America 🤬

newscum's 'KID'S PICKING STRAWBERRIES' OUTRIGHT LIE

Want to "know where the kids are"?? FOLLOW DEMONRAT MONEY 🤬

Also, why are "gun laws!!" newscum is so vocal about … BEING IGNORED FOR ILLEGALS??? I suppose only "white gringos" & "white crackers" need to have their guns confiscated 🤬

And - why are "peaceful" violent protestors allowed to wear masks: BUT ICE AGENTS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED?? 🤬

It's time for America and Americans to STOP THE OBAMANITE NONSENSE.

There ARE LAWS AGAINST CHILD LABOR IN AMERICA.

Our AMERICAN CONSTITUTION allows Americans the RIGHT to OWN & USE FIREARMS AGAINST A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT - which the obamanite party IS.

ANYONE who wears a mask - and supports mask-wearers - whipping deadheads into a frenzy and calling for "death to ICE Agents and their families!" NEEDS TO GO TO DETENTION IMMEDIATELY without passing the Get Out Of Jail Corner. THAT INCLUDES newscum, fish-mouth bass, puppet master barak hussein obama, the DC hen squad … let all of them feel the reality of their war-cry "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!"

Democrats including Gavin Newsom suggest migrant cannabis farm workers caught up in violent ICE raids were 'kids picking strawberries'

The California leader has been skewered for a misleading post about ICE raids

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is under fire for posting a shocking response to ICE raids, likening the workers at the targeted cannabis farms to 'kids' whose mothers have been taken from them. 

At multiple locations across southern California's Ventura County, just north of Los Angeles, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out raids on cannabis farms leading to a violent response from locals and farmworkers.

Videos of the operations at Glass House Farms show armored federal agents standing on farm roads and flanked by rows of what appear to be cannabis, or marijuana plants, while masked agitators hurled slurs and debris at law enforcement.

When the stand-off became too volatile, the National Guard and ICE agents popped tear gas which sent the crowds running in a frenzy.

One man even opened up fired upon the federal agents.  

But Democrats including Newsom and Rep. Jimmy Gomez immediately shared sympathy for the targets on social media. 

Newsom posted on X: 'kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields,' Newsom posted on X alongside a clip of the smokey aftermath of the fracas. 

Newsom posted on X: 'ids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields,' Newsom posted on X alongside a clip of the smokey aftermath of the fracas. 

'Trump calls me “Newscum” — but he’s the real scum,' the two-term governor added.

The governor was widely criticized for his comment.

'Democrats are having a fit because we're enforcing our laws against people working at a weed farm,' Vice President JD Vance wrote. 

'Why are you allowing small children to work in a drug farm?' commentator and LA native Peachy Keenan responded to Newsom. 

'Not too late to delete this,' political strategist and '10 Minute Drill' host Matt Whitlock wrote.

In a statement to the Daily Mail DHS confirmed eight children were rescued as a result of the raid.  

'At the California marijuana facility, ICE and CBP law enforcement rescued 8 unaccompanied migrant children from what looks like exploitation, violation of child labor laws and potentially human trafficking or smuggling,' a DHS spokesman said.

'Yet, Gavin Newsom, Ruben Gallego and other politicians continue to demonize and attack the law enforcement officers who bravely rescued these children.”

Stunningly, Newsom was not the only Democrat to provide political cover for the violence that broke out at the ICE raid. 

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., wrongly claimed the facility was not for cannabis production. 'Instead of prioritizing dangerous criminals Trump is targeting families that have been here for years picking our food,' he wrote, reposting the same video as Newsom and Gomez.

'The public outcry and protests are occurring because the American public knows this is wrong.'

Similarly, California Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez bizarrely - and wrongly - insinuated that the cannabis operation was actually a berry farm. 

'How many MS-13 gang members are waking up at 3 a.m. to pick strawberries? O’yeah, zero!' the Democrat oddly claimed.  

'Trump said he’d go after “bad hombres,” but he’s targeting the immigrant farm workers who feed America. Either he lied — or he can’t tell the difference.'

Gomez was apparently unable to discern the difference between a drug and berry farm.

'Just actively dishonest to keep pushing this narrative when it’s been widely reported since this afternoon that this is a criminal warrant being served at a cannabis farm - not “farm workers who feed America,"' Fox News' Bill Melugin said, calling out Gomez for lying.  

'There is no food being grown here. No strawberries either.'

The offices for Senator Gallego and Rep. Gomez did not respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment. 

'Glass House Farms were visited today by ICE Officials,' the company wrote in a statement on X.

'The company fully complied with agent search warrants and will provide further updates if necessary.'

Its unclear how many arrests were made, but DHS released a statement indicating it was carrying out operations on individuals with criminal warrants.

MOD Crochet Inhaler Wrist Pouch; Ocean Park-WA

It was very foggy this morning & very dusty this afternoon; Independence rocked on her support legs all day long, when wind gusts ripped through here. I drank my coffee and watched the grit clouds filter through the evergreens.

Foggy here today - travel warning issued.

I don't care how Holland wants to spin things … I am not noticing any improvement in the air quality: the WA air, here in Ocean Park, seems to be just as dusty as Yuma-AZ & Quartzsite-AZ - and the wind gusts are comparable to those we withstood in Kingman-AZ. The weather is just plain weird everywhere, and seasons are off-kilter.

And Holland - because he did not fall into bed until after 6 AM, slept through it all.

While Holland slept, I watched 'The Quest' featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme & Abdel Qissi - all the fighters were stellar cast, but these 2 are my favorites. I don't particularly like blood sporting events, but I do like this movie; and will watch it along with 'Zandy's Bride' starring Gene Hackman and Liv Ullmann, every time they are available to watch. I have watched both so many times, for so long … I know the scripts by heart, but they always pull me in 😉

The Quest~1996 Movie & Zandy's Bride~1974 Movie.

Last night I designed and worked up this Inhaler Wrist Pouch to fit my fat Apple Watch Band: it's not actually my own idea … but the crochet pouch is my own design:

MOD Inhaler Wrist Pouch designed to fit my fat Apple Watch Band~Crochet

I saw a fella wearing something like this, and thought, "I can make one of those for myself & ease Holland's mind." The whole thing only took about 15 minutes from concept to button 😁

Holland insists I have an inhaler on my person at all times - especially when I am hiking; my jegging do not have front pockets & I do not always use a backpack. Lately, I've just been shoving it into the left cup of my bra … and that gets me strange looks from people wondering "why does that old woman have a square-tipped boob?" 😂🤣

Inhaler shoved down my bra … at my husband's insistence ;-)

Now, I can just slip this little glittery pouch over my watch band and boogie: and my husband can relax while I'm burning the calories, walking my fat ass off 👍😘

Still working on the "Lady" feature 😕 both Husbands (Bob gave up hope - Holland is still hopeful) seem to think I have … somewhere in my Heinz-57 DNA 🧐

Today I thought I'd make fish for our Friday meal … and I knew just the recipe I was hungering for 😉

In this recipe, I use tilapia; but trout, red snapper, halibut, or swordfish can be substituted.

I first made this recipe in July of 2019 - and tonight, Holland will be the only man who has enjoyed this delicious fish recipe, with me 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨
