CT woman arrested after she attacked a member of the US Navy

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (102506) • United States 9h

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 Lori Desjardins assaulted a submariner inside a pizza shop. She yelled at him, threw something at him, slapped him, and called him an "f-ing piece of $hit". Why would she do such a thing? Seems...

The Sojourner I hesitate saying anything on any post that someone can turn into a major political post when I respond with simply a fact about how long somebody's been in public service. I don't need that kind of s*** show in my life, and I will either block people or I...

Made the Aged Egg Nog

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (102506) • United States 7h

I love egg nog. My grandmother got me hooked on it. I was the only one who would drink it with her on Christmas Eve. I remember she would spike it with Old Grand Dad which I think is brandy. Several years ago I saw a reference...

I have 12 egg whites to use up

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (102506) • United States 6h

I needed 12 egg yolks for the egg nog and now I have 12 egg whites left to deal with. I don't like egg white omelets or scrambles. I am going back and forth between a pavlova or macarons. I have Thomas Keller's crazy tough...

The Sojourner When my mother used to make the Norwegian cookie fattigman at Christmas time, it called for 12 egg yolks. I was the one that ended up having to make the stupid meringues. That's one hell of a lot of egg whites! And of course, they take so long to bake. That...

The Horse @TheHorse (137943) • Walnut Creek, California 6h

I had fun with the kids yesterday at the preschool. I am driving a rental, and my big question in life right now is: How long do I keep it? A secondary question is: Will my car insurance pay for it? I just had some bacon, eggs,...
