I am so grateful for all your support and activism on behalf of Gun Owners of America’s work on Capitol Hill. GOA just forced President Biden to DEFUND the ATF by $122 million and to STOP enforcement of the veterans gun ban!!! Yes, you read that right. This is a HUGE win for gun rights even though there is a …<br/> <a class="postReadMore" href="https://www.gunowners.org/na03092024/">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>
I'm craving chicken and dumplings. I've never followed a recipe for it, I've been cooking for 55 years and started in my mom's restaurant. This recipe has me intrigued, basically making a cream of chicken soup. My method never used cream or milk in the broth. Well. I'm going to try it this way, sort of. I plan on adding frozen mixed vegetables like a pot pie. The dumplings are pretty much the way I've always made them. I just simmered 3 lbs of thighs and put that in the fridge to make it easier to strip them tomorrow. I figure I'll go light on the flour and have a roux ( how do you spell that?) handy for thickening towards the end to reduce the chances of scorching.
I'll report back Saturday with more details. The way I do stuff, it might well turn into a chocolate cake!
I recently learned about working split for pileups. J38r was working split (duplex) from a dxpedition on an island near Granada. He was transmitting on 28.440 and listening between 5 and 15 kilohertz up. I managed to sort of get him but he couldn't copy well enough to count as a contact. After an hour I gave up and called my neighbor and walked him through setting his radio for working split. My neighbor was able to set his radio up for this but had no luck making the contact either.
He had never done this before and if nothing else, it felt good to teach him what I've learned.
So much for my knowledge of geography. Grenada is the island. For some reason I thought it was on the mainland.
