Working-with-your-hands Wednesday

Since I have a very plebeian palate, I've always considered French cooking to be a form of puttin' on airs, just so much ooh-la-la pretentiousness (although I have to admit, I have had a couple of French dishes I really liked). Jacques Pépin, however, has given me a completely new perspective.

He's quite an interesting guy. He was Charles de Gaulle's personal chef back in the 1950s, and he later came to the United States where he worked for Howard Johnson's, of all places (I don't know if he was responsible, but the best hot dog I  ever had in my life was at a HoJo's in Cary, NC). He has also worked as a culinary instructor and has earned all kinds of awards.

Homeland Security used an X post Monday to say that Hilton Hotels are denying rooms to Department of Homeland Security officers in the Minneapolis area.

Just a daydream...

 ..but if Gavin Newsom is facilitating drug smuggling by continuing to hand out drivers' licenses to illegal aliens, can he be black-bagged and hauled off to face charges in a federal court, too? "Indian Illegal Alien Truckers (Based in CA) Caught With $7 Million in Cocaine During IN Traffic Stop".

Wow! Maduro sure had a lot of Cuban friends.

"32 Cuban Security Personnel Confirmed Killed During US Operation To Extract Maduro From Venezuela".

I hope Cuba is next. Visiting Havana is on my bucket list, but only after the commies are deposed.

What a loss to humanity

"Disgraced Gov. Tim Walz Drops out of Governor’s Race".

To spend more time talking with DOJ prosecutors, I'd like to think, but we'll see.

Update  Haw! Tim Walz: the most fraudulent man in America.
