It’s 6:30 and it is really, really dark out. The bedroom window is rattling. Me no like winter. You people have to get on the stick and buy this condo I have for sale, so I can redo this house that I’m in, sell it to you, give all my stuff away and move to a cabaña in Costa Rica. Just my luck that housing isn’t selling very briskly.
- One reason you ought to buy my condo is the housing market, believe it or not. People can’t get loans to buy a house, but they need to live somewhere. Investment property demand will go up. Why, the city just turned down more apartments. You should have rental property in your portfolio.
- Waukesha schools are look at raising their part of property taxes 8.9%. They wouldn’t need to do that if Diamond Jim would have supported passing the school budget separately from the rest of his budget, but he said you can’t split up the budget into pieces.
- Unless he does it, apparently. He wants to pass the budget without including the transportation part. Bald man speak with forked tongue. What a liar.
- Wigderson, now in the center of the editorial page, points out Doyle duplicity.
- More helicopters over Waukesha! You’ll notice that these are at the airport. What a concept, housing helicopters at the airport.
- We’ll be able to check out some nice cars on Sundays now, even if we can’t afford ‘em.
- This was fast.
- Thanks to Steve at No Runny Eggs for linking to the Chronicle’s debate coverage from Townhall.Com. When the train comes in, everybody rides.
- Hey, the Waukesha Salvation Army needs twin sheets, blankets and pillows. I think I still have some, even though I’ve no twin bed. Sounds like a match made in heaven. If you’ve never been to the Waukesha Salvation Army, it’s a very nice, clean place. You can’t be an active user of alcohol or drugs to stay there. They will boot you if you show up impaired. Oh yes, they can tell.
- There’s soon to be pot pie shortage. Let me give you a simple recipe for excellent pot pie without all the fat and salt in the commercial ones:
Filling:
1/3 Cup Butter
1/3 Cup flour
1 Tbs Onion flakes
1 Tbs Chicken Bouillon
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Pepper
1 ¾ Cup Water or Chicken Stock
2/3 Cup Milk
2 Cups Cooked Chicken (about two medium to large skinless boneless breasts cooked however you please then cut into cubes)
1 Bag Frozen Mixed Vegetables (any blend you choose)
Crust:
2 Pillsbury Unroll and Bake Pie crusts
Heat butter over low heat until melted, then whisk in the flour (Hey, you just made a roux!). Keep stirring and add the flakes, salt, pepper and bouillon. Then add the water and milk and keep stirring. Let it come to a boil for a minute while stirring. Then take it off the heat and rest that stirring arm while you dump the bag of veggies and cooked chicken into the pot and give it one last stir. Line the bottom of a pie pan with one of your crusts. Pour your pot o’ chicken goop into the shell and cover the goop with another crust. Some people use celery salt on the bottom of the top crust, I don’t. Cut some slits in the top crust. Bake your pie in a preheated 425° oven for 30-35 minutes.
