Listen Fat, President Trump makes me want to be a better man.
Naysayers may laugh, but it's how I feel in my heart.
He makes me want to work harder. Learn more. Become stronger. Expand my talents. Think Big. Fight. Not waste my time. Never give up. Become great and leave a legacy.
I got to thinking, during this time of quarantine when many of us have extra time, rather than fritter it away, like doing Meth with male hookers in hotel rooms, reach out to my caterpillars here on .win to tap into this infinite well of knowledge for things we can be doing to MAGA by Making Ourselves Great Again, because after all, what is America? It's not the magic dirt. It's us.
Suggestions for personal, spiritual, family, health, career, education, leisure, and any others are welcome. We may never become as great as Donald Trump, few ever have or will, but let us die trying.
Cooking! Sewing! Budgeting! Figure out what your local farmers are growing and learn to cook seasonally. Learn how to sew on a button and patch your jeans and hem your trousers. Take an honest look at your finances, accept that they reflect your values, and make changes according to who you really are.
I cannot tell you how many of my generation live without these basic life skills. We can honor our grandparents by at least implementing a few of the practical lessons of the eras they lived through.
i learned how to make my own laundry soap. and its a good thing too because my supermarket was OUT last week.
im baking the bread at home now, and i discovered Tangzhong method bread. My life has changed forever. I will never bake bread any other way again. If anyone is baking the bread at home and hasnt heard of this.... TRUST ME. DO IT.
I've been doing a lot of baking at home lately, too. I'll have to check out the Tangzhong method - I've never heard of it before.
also, i would just add, that i also always replace some of the sweet in the recipe with about a T of honey. It acts as a humectant and just gives it that little extra je ne sais pas.
King Arthur Flour has so many great bread recipes on their site, and a lot of them have a Tangzhong option now. Worth checking out.
Thanks!

Beautiful and timeless advice. Seasonal cooking sounds quaint and home-like. Really warm.
You know I'm ashamed to admit that I can't sew a button or patch jeans...
I really do believe it would honor my grandparents and great grandparents (two of whom I knew well) to be able to do these things. Thank you.
It's something I miss. My hands shake now and I can't do things I used to love, like embroidery.
blessings and healing prayers your way, pede!
You are so very welcome! I knew my great grandmother, too, and am thankful for ways to connect to her even all these years after her passing.
