Thanks, John

I just wnted to say how happy I’am for Hillary Clinton the next President of the United States. I voted for her because I belive in her. I want a change for my life, and a chance for the young people. I don’t what to be owned by China. Let’s end the War. Spend that money here to help people in the USA to have a better life. And she is the person that can do that for all of us.This is just how I feel. But if you belive in her, we need to put her in the White House. And let the changes begin. I am going to be very proud when she walks in a room and they say, Welcome Madam President.

(_Recipe for that next Bloodly Mary_)

3 jiggers Vodka

6 jiggers-or-1 cup chilled Tomato Juice

1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

2 drops Hot Sauce

1/4 teaspoon Celery Salt

1/4 teaspoon Salt

pinch Garlic Salt

( Shake well or Blend with 3/4 cup Crushed Ice. Serve without Straining in Whisky Sour Glass and a Stick of Celery.) For a Cocktail Party add a Shrimp on the side of the glass.

1 Bag of small hot cinnamon candy(let candy melt in Cider)

1 Orange cut into slices

2 teaspoons of allspices

Put orange slices and allspices in cheese cloth, tie cloth and add to Cider. Add candy put on stove and heat, when candy melts its ready to drink. Serve with orange slice and cinnamon stick. Wet the tips of cinnamon stick and dip in brown sugar.

Mix together;

1 cup grounded yellow corn meal

1/2  teaspoon baking powder

1/2  teaspoon salt

4  tablespoons of minced onion

Beat Together:

1 egg  and  1/4  cup  milk

Combine dry and wet ingredients together. Deep fry at  370 until golden brown. Drain and serve at once.

2) Egg whites for Meringue should always be room temperature before beating. And it should take a minimum of three eggs per pie.

3) After eggs are beaten stiff, but not dry. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar and a dash of salt on top and beat slightly.

4) Add slowly 3 level teaspoons of sugar for each egg white, beating all the while.

5) Always have the Meringue touching the edges of the crust. This prevents shrinking.

6) If the pie is placed on the middle shelf (not the top) in your oven. It will brown evenly and the points or swirls on your on your meringue won’t burn.

7) When the Meringue is almost as brown as it should be, turn off the oven and open the door slightly. the Meringue will cool splitting. Don’t ever set the pie where cold drafts can get to it while it is hot. It must cool slowly.

Never place Meringue on any pastry until it has been tested for undissolved sugar. Put some of the Meringue between two finger tips and rub together and fill for sugar not dissolve. To correct this, beat the the Meringue some more. If this does not dissolve the sugar, your egg whites were not of room temperature when you first beat them

If you were like me I always had problems. So I hope this may help some one with their “MERINGUE”

One heart full of Love,

Two handfuls of Generosity,

A dash of Laughter, and
