Eggnog of course!! Remember, if eggnog was good enough for General George Washington, it is good enough for you. Here is his recipe for eggnog. One quart cream, one quart milk, one dozen tablespoons sugar, one pint brandy, 1/2 pint rye whiskey, 1/2 pint Jamaica rum, 1/4 pint sherry—mix liquor first, then separate [a dozen] yolks and whites of eggs, add sugar to beaten yolks, mix well. Add milk and cream, slowly beating. Beat whites of eggs until stiff and fold slowly into mixture. Let set in cool place for several days. Taste frequently.Using these recipes you'll be helping your local liquor store immensely. Your liver is a different story. Welcome to the ONT where we have a little of everything tonight. Quotes of The Day “Life will soon bring you increased responsibilities, and it is rare that you will have a legitimate choice to do nothing. Responsibility usually demands action.”Former CIA Director Michael Hayden Obama has made incredibly poor decisions that have made us less safe. Michael T. Flynn-Designated National Security AdviserWhy are we less safe today than say 8 years ago? Uninformed civilian hacks. Made up words for a made up world. Or reality bites. Gavin McInnes takes a look at the uninformed. “What we care about is permanent protection, dignity, and respect,” blurted out Alex Uematsu of the pro-illegal group Cosecha Movement on Tucker Carlson Tonight. “I’m for those things too,” Tucker responded. Carlson has been eating liberals alive on his new show and all it takes is a few simple questions. When he asked Canisius College history professor René de la Pedraja why people flee Cuba, the pink-cheeked PhD said, “They left their wives behind. They want to start a new life.” This was clearly a theory René pulled out of his ass at the last minute, but this is what we’re up against these days. We are at war with a value system based on meaningless platitudes and conjecture. Didn't care for the fruit cake? Not everyone cares for candied fruit. Perhaps you will enjoy tomorrow, National Sacher Torte Day. At least the ONT shared the fruit cake recipe with you. Mainstream. Outside of the Mainstream. Battle lines forming on upcoming Federal court appointees by Trump. Time will tell if President Elect Trump's campaign promises come true. Time will tell if the GOP controlled Senate has the "“I’m going to die anyway,” said right-to-try campaign co-founder Jeff Perreault, who has ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. While competent people facing a forseeable death have the legal “right to die” in Canada, they don’t have the “right to try” something that might prolong their lives, he says. “We have the law that allows us to kill ourselves. We just don’t have the law to do something else.”Tonight's Musical Interlude England’s large number of vegans and other meat abstainers have gotten pretty hacked off this week after learning their country’s new £5 bill, one of the most common (and therefore unavoidable) denominations, contains actual animal fat in its polymer base. The new note, just released in September, was promoted as being sturdier, safer, and more environmentally friendly than its predecessor, but as the Bank of England has been forced to acknowledge repeatedly over the last couple of days on Twitter, it’s not so good for people who avoid animal products:Give the ONT a %^&*#@^ break.

The Enwokening of White People
With the alienation of the vast majority of White people from the Democrat party, some on the Left are trying out how to get White voters back. John McWhorter tries to do this - not by acknowledging that playing identity politics results in the other side doing the same - but by hiding the contempt the racialist Left has for White people so as to no scare them off. Right off the bat, McWhorter declares that most White people are too stupid to "get it". More: http://politicalhat.com/?p=12792 Posted by: The Political Hat at December 05, 2016 10:05 PM (vBeA5) 31

When Donald Trump talks about America Great Again, what comes to mind? Better economic conditions? Better moral values? What use to be an enjoyable show on Sunday evenings by a wholesome American company has become the purveyor of a vulgar pop culture.
Most new shows go for the single Millennials like Two Broke Girls, so traditional family units are becoming scarce. What traditional families there are have a mother who is flustered that dad is clueless about her needs and feelings so she goes to the gay neighbor for sage advice.

Here's the eggnog recipe I use (cooking the eggs).
6 eggs, 2 extra egg yolks, 10 Tbsp sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 4 cups whole milk. Start by whisking the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and salt in a large pan until well-blended. Keep on whisking while you slowly pour in the milk until it's completely blended. Set the pan on a burner and turn it to the lowest possible setting. Whisk continuously for 25-30 minutes or until the mixture reaches 160F and will coat the underside of a spoon. Remove from heat and strain into a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup bourbon, 1 Tbsp. vanilla and 1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, whip 3/4 C. heavy cream and fold into the mixture.

The British couldn't convince the Hindu troops the bullet wasn't greased with beef tallow, and couldn't convince the Muslim troops it wasn't greased with lard. War ensued.

Posted by: San Franpsycho at December 05, 2016 10:17 PM (EZebt) --- Pannetone. They decide the colors and their codes, right? about 5 years or so ago, the Pantone color of the year was a lovely shade of tangerine orange. The year after was a pretty shade of emerald green, but I preferred the orange. When the Pantone colors are announced, designers and artists scramble to incorporate those colors into their work.

Best fruitcake I ever had is made by the wife of an old roommate.
The batter is there merely to aid the fruits and nuts adhering together to make a loaf, the cake itself making not more than 10pc of the total mass. Plus she adds extra cherry which makes it plusgood. Posted by: San Franpsycho at December 05, 2016 10:25 PM (EZebt) 117
I'll tell you the worst thing there is, as far as "buffet" or "smorgasbord" dining goes...
An Italian-style buffet, with eggplant parmigiana. Most of the time when I step up to a buffet-style meal, it's after a day of pretty hard work for an event at which the buffet dinner is just a part of the whole thing. And I'll see these nice-looking breaded cutlets, and I'm thinking, "Yeah, put one of those on some noodles, pour some sauce over that... got some nice chicken parm, right there! Yeah! That's gonna be awesome!" And then I take a bite of that cutlet... and it turns out to be a hunk of breaded snot. And I'm thinking, "Why? Who would do this to me? Why hast thou forsaken me, Lord?" Eggplant parmigiana is food fraud. Straight up truth. Posted by: The Deplorable Prothonotary Warbler at December 05, 2016 10:25 PM (0OG8D) 118

The Swedish smorgasbords from Jul had a fish table and a meat table. The fish table has every possible kind of herring, and also smoked eel, lutfisk and other mysterious things. The meat table featured the pig's head decorated with frosting to make it all fancy, then the julskinka (Christmas ham). Also sausages, meatballs, gravies.
And then the dessert table with all kinds of deliciousness, including rice pudding (bleah). This was the company Christmas party on the ferry to Denmark. The company paid for hotel rooms and disco cover charge, and a few rounds of drinks. Someone (multiple someones) always behaved badly. Sex, drunkenness, drunken sex or any combination thereof. Swedish tradition requires that it is forgotten and excused as though it never happened.

#139: Well, maybe I was being a bit too charitable in calling it "breaded snot", then. After all, at least real snot comes from an actual animal, and thus might provide you with a full protein, if nothing else.
Eggplant, though, is like pseudo-snot that comes from a plant and thus only provides maybe half of the amino acids you need for a full protein. It's both gross, and lacking in what you really need for proper nutrition. Food fraud. Posted by: The Deplorable Prothonotary Warbler at December 05, 2016 10:38 PM (0OG8D) 179

230 Eggplant and okra both have really icky textures.
Posted by: nerdygirl at December 05, 2016 10:50 PM (+lVUW) *sputter* Eggplant and okra both have multiple textures: Eggplant: Very soft and creamy/some bite Okra: Very soft and crunchy The only thing wrong with eggplant and okra is that both have an in between texture that is awful. Okra: Goopy, stringy, you swallow some and find out that what you swallowed is still connected to what's in your mouth so you sort of gag. Eggplant: Too firm/rubbery and too watery. You didn't salt/squeeze beforehand to get enough water out, and/or you didn't cook long enough. So you just don't eat either of them in their horrible-texture phase Posted by: Splunge at December 05, 2016 10:56 PM (iMxBJ) 261

My Mom used to make fruitcake and hand them out as gifts at Christmas. One year, she gave my best friend from high school a fruitcake. He called it Mama West's Abominable Fruitcake. The next year, he gifted it back to her. I swear that they traded that one fruitcake back and forth for ten years. And it was probably still edible.

I can't stand the virtue-signalling that is the impetus for these spaces, and my Rogue is more fuel-efficient than my last car, so I figure I qualify. When I parked, nobody else was parked in these spaces. When I left, a BMW station wagon and a Subaru were also parked in these spaces. Haha -I just love encouraging a little rebellion.

I just have to get this off my chest.
I no longer have any respect at all for liberals. Once I thought they were misguided but sincere. That has changed over the past 8 years, and profoundly over the past 8 months or so. They aren't idealists. They are pathetic little shits who try to compensate for their miserable, unhappy lives by worshipping power. They are true Fascists, steeped in hate, repeating lies, destroying all human connections in order to adore the Party and the Leader. To hell with them all. Right now I wish all their worst fears about Trump were not only true, but vastly under-estimating the man. I wouldn't mind seeing mass deportations of every single damned Democrat in the land. Send them to Mexico or China; let them work their magic in those countries. They can destroy some other society for a change. I'm not really even angry any more. It has settled down to a cold contempt. When I heard about the fire in Oakland, my first thought was, "A bunch of California hipsters died. Too bad it wasn't the whole city." I don't like myself for thinking that way, but there it is. This is how civil wars get started. Posted by: Trimegistus at December 05, 2016 11:14 PM (orwmg) 337

Liberal black activists have launched a monthly “subscription box” designed for white people “to not only financially support Black femme freedom fighters, but also complete measurable tasks in the fight against white supremacy.” The subscription service is called Safety pin box and was launched last week. Wearing a safety pin has recently become a symbol within the liberal community for one to show solidarity with minorities. The group headed by Leslie Mac and Marissa Jenae Johnson. Johnson is one of the black lives matter protesters who interrupted Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during a speech in Seattle last year.

I would even like braunschweiger if I didn't have concerns about what is ground up and put in there.
--- Braunschweiger is amazing. However, I had a thick sandwich of it the night before a blood test. Even with 10 hours of fasting, it still made my test results go really bad and freaked out my doctor. "Why is your cholesterol so high? Why? WHY?"

"Save us, MisHum, you're our only hope!"
HI, Y'ALL! (If I avoid the barrel on that one I should get a reward. Like, a slice of fruit cake.) I clicked on the Dirty Disney link, only to find actual Disney dastardliness barely mentioned, although I admit I skimmed it pretty fast. Speaking of, there was a girl-girl smooch on Supergirl this past week. All I can say is, at least it wasn't guys. (Yes, I am a guy who's prejudiced.) And, at least it wasn't the Supergirl herself - she's plainly into a guy. But the whole "nothing wrong with it" homo thing, which is surely peaking, is still strong in Massed Mediuh. But, it involved S'girl's "sister" Alex, which just goes to show you what can happen when you name a girl with a guy name. (Looks around warily at local Alexes....) Relatedly, Mark Dice interviews Les Modernes about how "okay" is incest. *siiigh* https://youtu.be/mx457T7iWMA I'd rant about the runaround we got from our cable company, but I've already written too long a howdy comment, and have to go drive home now anyway.

I felt sympathy for the victims until I saw photos of some of them.
There's a story in the national news about some teenager who beheaded another teenager. They showed video of the murdering little shit. You took one look at him and think, yep, can see him doing it. He had the biggest head of Bozo the clown hair you ever saw, probably 3 feet across. Honestly, I don't know how his mother could get through the day without slapping him. I can only imagine what kind of crap his teachers had to put up with from them.

I have two brothers, Thing One is older, Thing Two is younger. Thing One travels a bit for his job and Pappy always seems to have some major health issue when One is out of the country. He was supposed to leave for Turkey last weekend, but got postponed until next sunday.. We all get along and since Mom passed away in 2009 we all look after our delightful but stubborn Pappy. For 3 yrs in a row he had a major health situation in May. Hospitalized in May every yr for three yrs. in a row. We told him we would just haul him off the hospital on May 1 and tell them to call us if he was okay on June 1. The next yr, he didn't need hospital in may but wound up in the e.r. twice in june and again in july which kept him in for about 3 months. When he got carted off tonight we were basically saying hey it isn't may yet and started the betting on what the problem would be. We all called the ribs, I got the pneumonia, and we all missed the gallstones and cyst thingys. We are a weird family. Mayhem for the win!!

On the Taiwan thing: I am kind of tired of treating China with kid gloves. They have been kind of left alone to do their nationalistic communist BS for a while now. How is that working out?
Trump taking the call from Taiwan strikes me on a gut level as the right thing to do. China is not a bulwark against the Soviets anymore. Taiwan is an island of democracy is a sea of totalitarian bullshit. If simply taking a call or *gasp* opening diplomatic relations with a free democracy will cause the Chinese to go ape, then maybe we need to rethink who are the dangerous ones.

Trump is not going to be put into any mold about what "presidential" is or how a president should act. He's going to redefine that. All that is a bunch of tradition and rules and manners and shit. He is not going to put on the traditional "suit" of the presidency. He's going to tweet whatever the fuck he wants to tweet, and act the fuck like he wants to act. And he'll tell you want you can do if you don't like it. Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at December 06, 2016 12:32 AM (DW+jj) 586

I've had a bad cough since the end of September. I'm convinced it's whooping cough. Started as a dry cough one day which changed to a pleghmy cough for a week or two. At that point I thought it was just fall allergies, but then the cough got much worse - a deep bronchitis-type cough with bouts of severe coughing. At times I felt like I was suffocating because my bronchial passages were covered with a thick mucous. The coughing and mucous have lightened up the last week or two, and I figure I'll have this knocked out by Christmas. It sucks to spend a quarter of the year coughing, and it's changed my voice. I hope I get my singing voice back.

kindltot, was looking up youtube videos on Soviet WWII songs, which led to Victory Day parades (watched this year's live via internet), a re-enactment of the famous Nov. '41 parade this year, then eastern front footage from both sides, then clips from the Russian movie "Stalingrad" from 2 years ago.
Apart from language practice, came across a puzzling apparent truth. You mount the spike bayonet on the Mosin-Nagant rifle with the little elbow/bend *up* ..... but this blocks the sights, so I don't get it. Just tried to put the bayonet on one of my Mosins yesterday for the first time, seemed impossible that the up position was correct. Yet in the film footage there are dozens of Red Army soldiers with their bayonets fixed that way, and dead Red Army soldiers in the German footage - same thing. Seems conclusive.

Detroit, "where the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match those of voting machine printout reports in 59 percent of precincts, 392 of 662." A major city. Sixty percent of precincts do not have agreement between the two basic metrics meant to show accuracy of count and integrity of the vote. This is a real crisis in the country, but seems unlikely to get much attention.

Posted by: rhomboid at December 06, 2016 01:41 AM (QDnY+) The Moisin Nagant model 1891 was meant for use up to 1000 meters (arshans = paces) in volley fire, and one of the best selling points originally is that it would be accurate at that range if used against massed cavalry charges, and the bayonet would be best fixed at the last minute to make a hedgehog before the cavalry got home. Something that long with such a long bayo is unwieldy, and like using a short pike, the best action is to jab it forward like a pool cue - so I am told. The spike bayonet is not good for slashing, just poking. I wonder if the armies that used a blade bayonet had a greater history of infantry against infantry actions, as opposed to the Russians who historically dealt with the light horse of the Mongols and Turks, and other Steppes raiders.

Including that these spike bayonets (I think that's the term) are definitely for poking, not slashing. Edges aren't that sharp on the sides, but the tip is reasonably business-like. And with the bayo mounted the sucker is about 6 feet long, or seems it. "Unwieldy" is an understatement.

Posted by: rhomboid at December 06, 2016 02:21 AM (QDnY+) The French believed that the bayonet should always be mounted in action for morale, and this caused problem in WWI when the war went static in the trenches. The Berthier rifle was a design improvement over earlier rifles, although it was a beautifully engineered rifle with full French styling, it was long and had a long bayonet with that fashionable hook on the quillion that apparently was designed for catching in concertina wire and was probably a delight going over the top on ladders too Subsequent models dropped the fancy quillion on the bayonet and later the parts that stuck out, and as the war ground on the rifle was modified to a five (!) shot en-block clip and shortened to a carbine model for handyness in the trenches. The French also liked the stabby bayonet design. Since a lot of their history was also dealing with cavalry, I wonder if that wasn't a driving force in that design too.

If you have a rifle that has a bayonet included, and ever feel the need to extend or attach the bayonet, you will notice that the result looks and feels sort of like a halberd ... but isn't. The stock really isn't properly shaped for a chopping motion. The risk of unseating the barrel & receiver from the stock is much too high; it's almost guaranteed on rifles with no barrel band at the fore end of the stock. Bending the barrel isn't likely, at least not with modern barrels, but there's a chance ... and a functional rifle is very much more weapon than an edged weapon. But, as a stabbing weapon, the bayonet-on-rifle has some merit. Reaching a rider on a horse is possible (and cavalry was a (minor) threat even in early WW2). I've talked to a few guys who were in Iraq; apparently there's a bit of a return to including edged and impact weapons when entering apartment buildings as there are occasions where the players are all very close and getting a shot off might take too long or might hit friendlies, but using a tire iron to whack an unfriendly is quick and reliable.

Palp I understand - hell, both of us would happily care for and feed a PPsh, right? - but if your friends were 200 yards from some krauts and needed to hit them they'd develop a sudden appreciation for the Mosin, I'd guess.
Of course most casualties inflicted by direct small arms fire in WWII was at fairly short range - 150 yards and less. But a sub-machine gun was obviously not in play until fairly short ranges. Thanks all, off to get the Battle of the Bulge started, the author's set it all up and mid-December is approaching. Posted by: rhomboid at December 06, 2016 02:43 AM (QDnY+) 747
And the Soviets faked all their newsreel footage. Cavalry did not charge with shashkas, among other problems.....

Redc1c4, Little Katy is singing about her boyfriend
The Katyusha rocket had an ordinance stamp K, and was called the Katyusha for that reason, it was a popular song at the time Apple trees and pear trees went into blooming, River mists began a floating flow, She came out and went ashore, Katyusha! On the lofty bank, on the steeply shore. She came out and sang she song about Her young friend, the bluish eagle from steppe All about the one she dearly loved, The one whose letters she treasured and kept. Hey, a song, the song of the young girl, Fly and go after the bright Sun, Find a soldier on the distant borderlands Say hello from Katya waiting long for him. Let him remember the young and simple maiden, Let him hear the song she now sings, Let him protect his Motherland for sure, And their love Katyusha will protect.

Well, I tore up the floor in the trailer today, the trailer which makes up the middle third of this house I am attempting to rehab. Plywood floor was rotted due to decades of leaking plumbing in bathroom/water heater area. And some bozos had replumbed it in 2005 (based on date scrawled on the floor joists), and cut huge notches in the floor joists to pass the pipes. Tore all that out. Will sister the compromised joists with new 2X6, screwed and glued, and 2 sheets of new 3/4 inch plywood should make it whole again.
No real surprises. I knew I would have to do it. Kind of pleased that it is proving to be fairly easy. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 06, 2016 02:51 AM (MiBfH) 751
