  • I decided to make a double batch & freeze the leftovers. I managed to score me a le creuset 15.5 qt oval dutch oven on sale for $741.99. However, as I was starting the recipe I began to read some reviews & now I'm just not sure ..........................

  • The aliens want our water. Do you think that this includes salted water??? I heard that they are salt sensitive. They claim that they brought Covid to Earth. They know that many of us are on Ace inhibitors, and so the virus utilizes this mechanism to intrude into our cells. Please get rid of the scummy aliens from the evil cosmos.

    • Try this recipe with coffee cake

  • For the last few days in Austin Texas, this recipe has come in handy. I've been leaving out the salt and then cooling the water to use for things like making coffee, drinking and brushing my teeth. I don't miss the salt at all.

  • For a more personal touch, collect the tears running down your face as you read the comments! Add them to the water. Stir, taste and adjust as needed!

  • I asked the visiting aliens two questions: First, do they encircle around their home planet in an endless orbit while engaged in critically important scientific experiments involving spiders and beans. Secondly, could this be the panacea remedy that we have been searching, the remedy that would resolve sheer lunacy?

  • I asked the aliens that have come to our planet two questions. The first was if they like to circle around and around and around their home planet in orbit, endlessly, with little science experiments involving beans and spiders. Secondly, if they have a general panacea remedy for prickly thorns.

  • I use this as Holy Water especially when I pronounce specific prayers upon it. Good for regular and irregular Hauntings. Good for living and non-living Hauntings. Reliable and they never come back again.
