Granada Pan Fried Fish

European supermarkets have more fresh fish than American supermarkets. The challenge is cooking in a kitchen with only a limited stove top. One trick is to precook the onions in the microwave. It speeds up the process.

Pescador is one of my favorite wines. It is fresh and crisp with a few bubbles.

Toledo Cabecero de lomo and Vegetable Cous Cous

Traveling and cooking are adventures. The simplest ingredients make for a terrific meal. Meat, butter, vegetables and cous cous. The meat is usually the most adventurous.

Cabecero de lomo

El cabecero de lomo es una carne diferente a la carne de lomo. El cabecero también es un corte de la parte superior del cerdo, pero se encuentra en la parte más pegada a la cabeza. De esta forma, el cabecero de lomo resulta ser la unión entre la presa ibérica y la carne de lomo.

White Supremacist Massacres

Too often I hear “I never learned this” or “I never learned that in a history class.” First, people in general don’t want to hear the tales of Kings, Conquerors, Psychopaths from their own history. They prefer a “cleaned up” version. In the case of the United States, most prefer the Whitewashed version. Unfortunately, that version leaves out the role White Supremacy played in American History.

Recently, the HBO series The Watchmen brought to America’s attention the 1921 Tulsa Massacre. Sadly, there were many more White Supremacists Massacres. Here are a few.

Great Hanging at Gainesville 1862

New Orleans Massacre 1866

Colfax (LA) Massacre 1873

Thibodaux (LA) Massacre 1887

Springfield (IL) Massacre 1908

Elaine (AK) Massacre 1919

Tulsa (OK) Massacre 1921

Rosewood (FL) Massacre 1923

Sherman (TX) Massacre 1930

What’s that sound?

“If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell”

Donald Ignored His Right to Remain Silent

Donald’s own words reveal he used public funds for private gain.

Corruption = Biden

Sept. 22 “We had a great conversation. The conversation I had was largely congratulatory. It was largely corruption — all of the corruption taking place. It was largely the fact that we don’t want our people, like Vice President Biden and his son, creating to the corruption already in the Ukraine. And Ukraine — Ukraine has got a lot of problems,”

No tax dollars without investigation of Bidens.

“We’re looking for corruption, there’s tremendous corruption, and why should we be giving hundreds of millions of dollars to countries where there’s this kind of corruption?”

quid pro quo
/ˌkwid ˌprō ˈkwō/
a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something.

Quid

ZELENSKY: I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We. are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps. Specifically, we are almost. ready to buy more Javelins from the United· States for defense purposes.

Quo

TRUMP: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it.

1) Investigate Right Wing Conspiracy about Democrats
2) Investigate Right Wing Conspiracy against Joe Biden

So let’s recap Donald’s own words. Donald asked for a favor before he released military aid to defend against the Russians. That favor involved an investigation into Biden which would make headlines in the Presidential race

Public, not private, Office

Res publica: A Public, not a private, thing.

“INSKEEP: At the start, we asked if the evidence shows an abuse of power. So here is another way to phrase the decision facing lawmakers – do they think the president asked for investigations in the national interest or his own?”

Take 11 minutes to listen, or read, real journalism. Your country needs you.

El Greco (1541-1614)

“Après la gloire à Tolède, Greco a été oublié aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles par les historiens de l’art. A partir du milieu du XIXe siècle, quelques collectionneurs, puis des artistes, l’ont redécouvert. Au début du XXe siècle, de nombreux tableaux de Greco, conservés dans les établissements religieux de Tolède, ont été vendus à Paris, plaque tournante du marché de l’art à l’époque. Le marchand Durant-Ruel notamment, achetait en Espagne pour revendre à des collectionneurs américains.”
