his brother from another mother (he identifies as a dog ☺)

EMs got $50 per month and if they didn't work (the 'chutes, not the EMs) you could take it back for a new one. Had a "May West" on my very first jump--fun and games

probably similar to how the Army missed this one: Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others--Fort Hood

Texas Cattle Drive Baked Beans Violet Peacock & Cheyenne Ranger SASS L #48747 This is a recipe that is great tasting the first day and even better the next. A bowl of beans along some homemade cornbread will satisfy the heartiest appetite. The portions listed are for a large oval roasting pot. Adjust as necessary. Ingredients 4 cans commercial baked beans, we like Bush Baked Beans 2 cans diced or crushed tomatoes 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar 2 cups molasses 1 can tomato paste 1-2 pounds of bacon 1 large yellow onion, 10-15 or Vidalia are what we look for 1 package shredded carrots, can use carrot chips or whole carrots chopped 1 large garlic bulb 1-2 jalapeno peppers 1-2 green peppers, optional 3 Tbsp Cumin 3 Tbsp Paprika Salt Water as needed Directions Put the oval roasting pot over medium heat Cut the bacon into 1 inch stripes Cook bacon till brown, drain and save Save some of the grease, enough to fry the onions plus other vegetables. Dice the onion green peppers and garlic, if using whole carrots chop these De-seed, remove the inner membrane and chop the jalapeno peppers. Do not use your fingernails to remove the membrane or the seeds—the juice will find its way into your eyes Add all to the hot grease. Cook till translucent (for a slightly different taste you can add everything but the onions and bacon when the tomatoes go in without cooking them first) Again drain off the grease, save the vegetables Now return the vegetates and bacon to the pot over medium-high heat Add the baked beans Add the crushed/diced tomatoes Add the tomato paste. Add dark brown sugar Add molasses Add half the Cumin and Paprika and check for taste. Add entire amount if you desire Salt to taste Add enough water to bring level to within 2 inches of top of roaster Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer Stir occasionally and for first 3 hours keep adding water as needed Final 2-3 hours allow beans to thicken, don’t add water but do keep stirring Allow to sit until it’s cool enough not to blister you tongue and mouth. Then grab a slice or two (or ten) of corn bread and a bowl of beans and enjoy. Might want to stay down wind of the herd for a spell.
