Make it Stop

Here it is, Tuesday, and I get to go back to work.  My calendar has been fixed.  My 3 days off in a row are next week.  Blame it on anticipation.
And, I know, everybody is waiting to get the first glimpse of my fritters, some of you for a very long time.  Well, without further ado, here they are:

As you can see, they look more like cakes.  When fried, chickpeas take on a real nutty flavor, and even though they recommend a yogurt / cucumber dressing (which I did use) they are even tastier when using that not so Mediterranean condiment ketchup.  Think of french fries on speed.
Back when Obama was president, right after the Idiot Jerk won by a technicality, some bimbolina in Virginia posted something to her Instagram account about Michelle, comparing her to an ape.  Well, it seems this fool, a Conservative of course, claimed her home had sustained damages during a hurricane.  She lied, and now she's gong to go to jail.  She told FEMA her damages came to over $18,000... except there weren't any damages... none.  Oh, shit!  Can we talk about having bad Karma?  Conservatives are such dumb ass wipes!
If that wasn't bad enough, look at North Carolina.  Republicans and their voter fraud.  It's always those who shriek the loudest, the ones who are constantly pointing their fingers, who end up being the ones most guilty.  It is quite likely North Carolinians will have to go to the poles one more time.  The question you need to keep in mind is this, if these corrupt conservatives were responsible for this type of voter fraud in the State Election, what did they do in the National Election.  Did North Carolina really go to the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  And, if white Republicans are this corrupt in North Carolina, what does that say about the Republicans in others states with large minority populations?
And isn't the Idiot Jerk freaking out about McCabe and Rosenstein?  While I don't have one, I do know people who have Twitter accounts just so they can laugh at him.  I do not doubt that there are quite a number of Crazy Christians running around wailing "Dear Lord, Make it Stop!  Make it Stop!"

Spicy!

Okay, so it's Monday, my 2nd and last day off for a whole week.  Sometime this morning I'm going to have to rekey my calendar and fix my faux pas of dates... my 3 day weekend is next week.  Now, ain't that disappointing.
I did 45 minutes of cardio yesterday.  If anybody wants to see the results, here's the link.  This is the new Suunto app.
I am making my chickpea fritters today.  I know everybody is waiting for the pictures... I will oblige, of course.  I made the sauce yesterday - cucumber, dill, and plain yogurt... tasty stuff!  My friend Betsy said it was also good on scrambled eggs, and then went on to say "actually, it's great on just about everything."  We'll have to wait and see how it sits on a Chickpea Fritter.
I also ordered dog steps for the bed... for the dogs, or, I guess I should say Seig since he's the big one.   He sometimes finds vaulting 118 pounds up the the 33 inch bed difficult.
And, of course, yesterday morning the Idiot Jerk in the White House sent out his minions to drum up support for his racist wall.  His supreme immigration racist, Stevie Miller didn't do so well with Chris Wallace on Fox.  His responses were dodgy.  When asked to cite an example where a president had over-ruled Congress to declare a National Emergency he failed... totally.  You have to remember, he is as racist as his two-bit, wannabe dictator boss.  This whole episode is not sitting well with the country.  While his minions love him, the Idiot Jerk's approval rating continues its decline.  One funny article I saw claimed he was hoping his meeting with Kim Jung Dumb was going to bolster his approval rating.  Shit!  That's bad. 
And what about the McCabe interviews?  I found the the little tidbit about Putin telling the Idiot Jerk not worry about North Korea since they could "never hit the coastline with a ballistic missile," really spicy.  I'll bet that's going to sit well with Little Kim.  Oops!  Ah, well, not to worry, Kim learned a long time ago the could lie through his teeth to the Idiot Jerk and get away with it, as long he peppered the fool with praise.  We all know that's what Vlad does in between the beef stroganoff and the cheap sex.
