Want to make pizza but need to cut back on carbs? Or don't feel like making dough? Easy Chicken Pizza Crust 1 12 oz can Chicken Breast (can use shredded roast, fried, or boiled chicken) 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (cheap green can parm works well) 1 Egg OPTIONAL; Salt, Black Pepper, Dry Oregano, Dry Basil (or Italian Seasoning Blend), Red or Aleppo Pepper Flakes. Heat oven to 450 F. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, you want to really break up the chicken. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper - don't try it without because that stuff will STICK. Dump mix onto parchment and pat it out to a thin layer. I get about an 8 x 10 or so rectangle. Bake for about half an hour. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Spread on your favorite pizza sauce (I suppose you could use one you hate, but why?) , add cheese and other toppings. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest a few minutes before cutting. You can also just bake off the crust and have it as a flatbread.

Don't worry, it will be reintroduced. Or maybe slipped in at the last minute with the "gut and amend" shell game. https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/law-proposed-self-defense-changed/ "FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A law proposed by a Los Angeles County-area assemblymember that would have changed what qualifies as self-defense, eliminating circumstances such as defending your home or property, has been pulled, according to Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher."

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052587/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atomic_Submarine "Film historian Paul Meehan considered The Atomic Submarine as "something of a departure from the usual saucer movie formula".[8] Reviewer David Blakeslee, in a later assessment, commented that "once you get past the wooden acting, creaky scripts, stilted narration, corny humor, low-budget props, and sheer implausibility of The Atomic Submarine's story line, you'll find themes and ideas worth pondering a bit longer than it takes to laugh away at the non-stop unraveling of sci-fi B-movie conventions". Chief among the unusual elements is "a headier-than-expected socio-political debate between a young principled pacifist and the career military man and WWII veteran sub captain over the merits of war and peace"."

Hard to tell, but a Red Tail perusing the buffet offerings at our bird feeders. It flew off before I could get another shot. The day before it had perched on top of the feeders.

WOW! No questions/comments from the guy who posted this about why anyone would make a knife with a hilt that you can't really hold!

You're saying that he voted for Harris?

Musk could easily get Democrats to love him again. All he has to do is start wearing dresses.

Just think, not all that long ago that equipment would have been top of the line here in the US. Likely would have been operated by Irish, Italian, or "Bohemian" immigrants for starvation wages.

https://www.dpaa.mil/News-Stories/ID-Announcements/Article/4078502/airman-accounted-for-from-world-war-ii-mccollum-r/ Dec. 10, 2024. McCollum’s family recently received their full briefing on his identification, therefore, additional details on his identification can be shared. In June 1944, McCollum was assigned to the 565th Bombardment Squadron, 389th Bombardment Group, 2nd Combat Bomb Wing, 2nd Air Division, 8th Air Force, in the European Theater. On June 20, McCollum, the bombardier onboard a B-24J “Liberator” bomber, went missing in action when his plane crashed into the Baltic Sea off the coast of Denmark after colliding with another B-24 in the same formation. The pilot and co-pilot of McCollum’s aircraft were able to bail out and survived, but all evidence points to the rest of the crew being killed in the crash. The U.S. War Department issued a Finding of Death for McCollum on June 21, 1945. In early 1948, the American Graves Registration Command (AGRC), the organization that searched for and recovered fallen American personnel in the European Theater, investigated the crash, but were unable to find any of the missing crewmen. Over the next couple of years, the AGRC also assessed unidentified remains that washed ashore in the area where McCollum’s aircraft crashed but were not able to identify any of the crew. McCollum was declared non-recoverable on May 12, 1950. https://archaeology.org/news/2025/03/10/airmans-remains-recovered-from-wwii-bomber/ WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced that archaeologists were among an international and multi-institutional endeavor that helped recover the remains of a World War II bombardier whose plane crashed off the coast of Denmark. 2nd Lt. Robert T. McCollum and others from the 565th Bombardment Squadron were flying in a B24-J Liberator when their aircraft accidentally struck another plane and went down in the Baltic Sea on June 10, 1944. In 1948, the American Graves Registration Command, the organization that searched for and recovered fallen American personnel in the European Theater, investigated the crash, but were unable to find any of the missing crewmen. However, the wreck site was located in 2019 by Danish divers when a .50 caliber machine gun with a serial number that partially matched one from the guns on McCollum’s aircraft was identified. An initial survey found possible human remains as well as enough evidence to recommend the site for an archaeological excavation. Over the past five years, several organizations including the DPAA, the Royal Danish Navy, the Langelands Museum, the University of Delaware, Project Recover, Trident Archäologie, and Wessex Archaeology helped investigate the site. The team was able to retrieve McCollum’s remains, which were identified using dental records and DNA tests. McCollum’s name is recorded on the Wall of the Missing at Cambridge American Cemetery, Cambridge, England, along with others still missing from WWII. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for. To read about excavations to identify the remains of another American pilot whose aircraft crashed during WWII, go to "Letter from Normandy: The Legacy of the Longest Day."

Sounds like truth in advertising.

From FB. Judy, a purebred pointer, was the mascot of several ships in the Pacific, and was captured by the Japanese in 1942 and taken to a prison camp. There she met Aircraftsman Frank Williams, who shared his small portion of rice with her. Judy raised morale in the POW camp, and also barked when poisonous snakes, crocodiles or even tigers approached the prisoners. When the prisoners were shipped back to Singapore, she was smuggled out in a rice sack, never whimpering or betraying her presence to the guards. The next day, that ship was torpedoed. Williams pushed Judy out of a porthole in an attempt to save her life, even though there was a 15-foot drop to the sea. He made his own escape from the ship, but was then recaptured and sent to a new POW camp. He didn't know if Judy had survived, but soon he began hearing stories about a dog helping drowning men reach pieces of debris after the shipwreck. And when Williams arrived at the new camp, he said: "I couldn’t believe my eyes! As I walked through the gate, a scraggly dog hit me square between the shoulders and knocked me over. I’d never been so glad to see the old girl!" They spent a year together at that camp in Sumatra. "Judy saved my life in so many ways," said Williams. "But the greatest of all was giving me a reason to live. All I had to do was look into those weary, bloodshot eyes and ask myself: 'What would happen to her if I died?' I had to keep going." Once hostilities ceased, Judy was then smuggled aboard a troopship heading back to Liverpool. In England, she was awarded the Dickin Medal (the "Victoria Cross" for animals) in May 1946. Her citation reads: "For magnificent courage and endurance in Japanese prison camps, which helped to maintain morale among her fellow prisoners, and also for saving many lives through her intelligence and watchfulness". At the same time, Frank Williams was awarded the PDSA's White Cross of St. Giles for his devotion to Judy. Frank and Judy spent a year after the war visiting the relatives of English POWs who had not survived, and Frank said that Judy "always provided a comforting presence to the families." When Judy finally died at the age of 13, Frank spent two months building a granite and marble memorial in her memory, which included a plaque describing her life story.

Yeah....I'm at the point of just ignoring what reporters call things.

They just call me a creep.

"To make a short story shorter," "We made a few rough calculations just for size. For instance, what is the thrust of a 1,000-horsepower tug in good condition using full power? It is 27 pounds per horsepower, or 27,000 pounds. Now a 1,000-horsepower tug using less than full power can and does move large ships. What is the thrust of a current airplane when lashed to the deck? It is 3 pounds per horsepower. Our newer engines are rated over 2,000 horsepower so let’s use 2,000 horsepower. 3X2,000 = 6,000 pounds static thrust. If we use, say, a row of eight fighters, we can develop a thrust of 8X6,000, or 48,000 pounds. Now if 27,000 pounds can move a ship, certainly 48,000 pounds ought to do very well. And that is what we found in practice. As a matter of fact, when an R-2800 engine idles (minimum of 1,200 r.p.m.) it is developing 600 horsepower. The old-timers can remember, and not so long ago, that 600 horsepower was considered to be quite a lot of power." Video from "Bridges at Toko Ri." I couldn't find it on YouTube. https://fb.watch/yizpwGRXpO/

Probably about the same. Quite a few "Gee...that looks and smells interesting!" spice blends that we used maybe half a dozen times and then got bored with them. What we actually use: Salt, black pepper, basil, oregano, dill, three types of paprika, Italian Seasoning, Poultry Seasoning, ground cumin, ground coriander, bay leaves, Berberi, Ras al Hanute, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg. Do vinegars and lemon zest count?
