Seriously, can you think of a more All-American post title than that for July?
Yesterday NPR was full of chatter about Sarah Palin. Will she run for the White House in 2012? Is she merely an overwhelmed mother who needs to rake in dinero to care for her family by going on the talk show circuit? Is it irresponsible to ditch the position the people of Alaska elected her to or is it brilliant political maneuvering? Is she the Savior of the GOP or the Great Divider? I believe I learned the answer at home when Mr. D, Republican, Capitalist, Occasional Chauvinist and Suduko Enthusiast proclaimed I'd rather see Hillary in the White House than her--Hillary's more intelligent. There ya go.
Selfishly I'd like to see Sarah Palin run again in 2012 so I'd get more of this:
We have bald eagles living in a nest in the woods behind us and they've had babies! I kind of thought I saw junior eagles flying around, but sometimes a hawk can look dark depending on the shadows--Mr. D confirmed my suspicions. They fly about 10 miles one way to the river to catch their dinner and carry it back home. It seems terribly inconvenient.
Mr. T will go to camp for the first time today--4 days away from home. Will he make it through without a midnight phone call begging to come home? Will he bring home everything I pack or lose half of his stuff while adventuring? Will he have the sense to wear mosquito repellent? Stay tuned...
And finally, the reason y'all are really reading the 450th post of my blogging career today:
1/2 C lemon juice
2 C assorted fresh berries
1 (8 oz) container frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
1 graham cracker pie crust (recipe below)
In large bowl mix sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. Mix in berries. Fold in whipped toppiing. Spoon mixture into crust. Freeze 5 hours or until set. Let stand 30-40 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired. Store leftovers covered in freezer (though I stored ours in the fridge and it turned out just fine).
Graham cracker crust: one sleeve of graham crackers crumbled and smashed. 2/3 C melted butter. 1/2 C sugar. Mix together in a pie pan and press against sides and bottom with the back end of a fork. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Accept no substitutes, Keebler has NOTHING on a homemade crust.
Off to label all of Mr. T's belongings with my trust Sharpie!
