Stella's Place 
My fav film since childhood. It’s the epitome of romance and selfless love.
The ‘suite’ from the 1942 movie CASABLANCA by composer Max Steiner. Performed by the John Wilson Orchestra at the 2013 BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall in London.
CASABLANCA is set in Morocco. In the late 18th Century, Spanish merchants named the city Casablanca, though it went under several other names previously. The town was occupied by the French in 1907, and during the French protectorate (1912–56) Casablanca became the chief port of Morocco. (h/t Brittanica.com)
The way I’ve always remembered where Morocco is located is by the initials “MATLE.” Think of the top of the African continent, starting on the west side–Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt. Spain is north of Morocco, separated by the Strait of Gibraltar.
And that’s your geography lesson for the day.

Trump doesn’t call Mexico and offer his condolences on Mexico having an earthquake and low-end hurricane hit and Mexico rescinds its offer of aid to Texas, Florida and Louisiana. Well, that’s gonna cause some wailing around here. No word on whether this fit el hissy wiil extend to the US opening the Treasury coffers to pour more Gringo dollars down the black hole that’s south of the border.
In May Mexico hit a 20 year high in murders, only to be exceeded in July. In August the US State Department issued a Mexico travel warning due to the number of murders, rapes, kidnappings and other crimes…no mention of the bad bootleg booze being passed off as name brand at major Mex resorts that’s been putting tourists into hospitals and a boxes.
If Mexico does agree to accept our sid, after we prostrate ourselves and beg their forgiveness for dissing them, I know where we can get a few million shovel-ready workers to send them who already speak Spanish.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2017
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump was scheduled to speak with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Tuesday about last week’s devastating earthquake that led to the deaths of at least 96 people, the White House said.
Asked why Trump had not yet called Pena Nieto, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said a telephone call was scheduled to take place within the hour.
This was the fault of General Kelly. It’s his job to set these things up in a timely manner.

I agree. The DACA/Mexico first crowd can do whatever they want with their own time and money, Mexico has been on the receiving side of everything good from the USA and continues to flood our streets with lawbreakers, gang members, murderers, drugs and rapists. People who feel that Mexico’s victims should take precedent over American citizens should send their money to Mexico or travel down there and use their own hands to do their own good deeds. Leave other Amrican’s money alone.

He was in a comedy double act with Joe Pesci
Vincent first met Pesci in 1969 when they played in a band together, and the two soon decided to branch out into comedy, forming a duo loosely based on Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. “I would abuse the audience, and Joe would abuse me,” Vincent told the New York Times in 1996.
Their nightclub act lasted until 1975. The next year, Vincent and Pesci both landed parts in a low-budget gangster movie – and the rest was history.

A few weeks ago, had family over for the weekend and went to cook breakfast, everyone wanted biscuits and gravy and I had no flour. I thought I still had a bag in the freezer and was mistaken. So we went to a cafe to get breakfast, the gravy tasted like they had burned the grease or flour or both. The biscuits you couldn’t break with a fork. I remembered why I rarely eat out. lol

Shoulda bought ’em at our loxal country store/gas station/cafe. They start makin’ ’em at about 0400 for workers who stop buy and want a heart eat before they start the job.
BTW, if you make roux and want a lower fat alternative you can toast flour on a cookie sheet under the broiler. Makes the thickener tastier, makes you less likely to get 5th degree lava burns if the roux splashes but does slightly increase the risk an explosion if you stir the cooking flour and the dust hits the broiler coil. More of a flaming ‘poof’ than a blast…extreme cooking.

OK, just like ladt night I sonetimes cheat andvuse package gravy. I uee low-sodium broth (package gravy usually has a lot of sodium as it it), garlic and onion powders, and as this gravy was to go with a store-bought roasted chicken, some poultry spice in it to carry the flavor thru. Ditto the stuffing, in a box but with some broth instead of gravy, about a 50/50 mix of butter and sour cream instead of all butter and the onion/garlic/groubd celery seed powders and poultry spice. Doesn’t take but a minute longer than just dumping it out of the box and it makes emergency dinner taste less emergency.

LikeLike
Well, cornstarch has twice the thickening power of flour but less of a flavor. I’ve been thinking of using guar gum as it’s some ten times more thicky than flour and has zero taste. Tantalizing idea as you can use guar gum in room temp things you might want to thicken like salad dressings without adding any taste.

Yes, you toast the flour to as dark a consistency as you like – experiment with colors but beware, as the moisture in the flour’s driven off (you can see it leave) it browns faster. Stay with it the whole time, this one likes to surprise you and can vecpne charcoal quickly.
I like to use a small toaster oven we have, saves power and when you feel comfortable you can leave it on a lesser setting to drive out the moisture before you crank up the broiler coils to brown it. You can also use a cast iron pan on the stove but I find thst takes a French or tornado flat-bottomed whisk and a lot of arm strength to keep stirring the flour.
Yup, you add the toasted flour to the liquid and it thickens AND adds flavour according to how dark it is. I used to add coffee to one of my chilis until I found a dark roasted fliur thickened the liquids and added that coffee/just-this-side-of-burnt flavor. The tan toasted flour makes a great thickener for chicken or turkey gravy made from pan drippings and the in between light-dark ones go great in thickening beef stews. If you’re gonna thicken why use tasteless stuff when you can add taste?

I didn’t get to post yesterday on the story about the DC Gatekeeper (What is a DC Gatekeeper, anyway? She should be removed from this position) who was engaged in witchcraft and openly admitted it. In saner times she’d have been ridden out of town on rail after having been tarred and feathered for dabbling in the occult. But I had some thoughts:
First, she can claim that she caused such and such a thing to happen because she “hexxed” someone, but nothing happened to those people that God did not permit to happen. He has the final say, regardless of what Sally Quinn thinks she did. And yes, I do believe that sometimes His plans for us involve terrible things like cancer. Faith is in part the understanding that bad things happen to us for a reason, we may not know the reason, but that God is in control in spite of those things.
Second, she can think she has power all she wants, but someday she’s going to have to answer for her actions and there is no appeals court from the courtroom of the Judge she will have to answer too.
I’m not a huge Carman fan, but I thought of this song yesterday after I saw that article. FWIW, I will post it here.

Why?
Why would Hillary feel so threatened by a strand of her hair being examined? People are saying well you have to have the root to get the DNA, but Martin didn’t stipulate that the root needed to be attached for the payout. What could Martin find out from a strand of Hillary’s hair? He could find out what drugs she was taking and is taking, alcohol consumption can even be measured, he could even find out the concentration of when and what was used by the Beast within a pretty tight timeframe.
What is Hillary hiding that a simple strand of her hair could reveal? Why is the DOJ still doing Hillary’s bidding?

Public university washes away conservative group’s 9/11 chalk memorial.

Don’t buy all the PR-style hooey about ‘dreamers’
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/dont-buy-all-the-pr-style-hooey-about-dreamers/2017/09/12/adc246d6-9738-11e7-82e4-f1076f6d6152_story.html?tid=ss_fb&utm_term=.552490eaf30b#comments
It’s an op-ed by Mickey Kaus, not the Wapo’s opinion, I am sure.
… For example, it’s often said — indeed, former president Barack Obama just recently said — that the approximately 690,000 dreamers were “brought to this country by their parents.” Well, many were. But that’s not required to qualify as a protected dreamer under the various plans, including Obama’s. You just have to have entered the country illegally before age 16. You could have decided to sneak in against your parents’ wishes. You’re still a dreamer!
Likewise, we’re told dreamers are college-bound high school grads or military personnel. That’s an exaggeration. All that’s actually required is that the dreamer enroll in a high school course or an “alternative,” including online courses and English-as-a-second-language classes. Under Obama’s now-suspended program, you didn’t even have to stay enrolled.
Compared with the general population, dreamers are not especially highly skilled. A recent survey for several pro-dreamer groups, with participants recruited by those groups, found that while most dreamers are not in school, the vast majority work. But their median hourly wage is only $15.34, meaning that many are competing with hard-pressed lower-skilled Americans.
The dreamers you read about have typically been carefully selected for their appeal. They’re valedictorians. They’re first responders. They’re curing diseases. They root for the Yankees. They want to serve in the Army. If dreamers are the poster children for the much larger undocumented population, these are the poster children for the poster children.
Still, taking the dreamers as a whole, not just the dreamiest of them, they represent an appealing group of would-be citizens. So why not show compassion and legalize them? Because, as is often the case, the pursuit of pure compassion comes with harmful side effects…

It’s terrible to view the devastation.
“The damage is complete,” says Ambassador Ronald Sanders, who has served as Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to the U.S. since 2015.
Then he goes on to say…In addition to financial aid, Sanders says the global community must also stand up to climate change.
“We believe climate change is here to stay — it’s a reality, despite all of the naysayers,” he says. “We know that these things have occurred as a result of the profligacy of the countries that are rich, and have abused the system. We, unfortunately, who contribute less than naught point naught percent of pollution of the world’s atmosphere, are the world’s greatest victims.”
——————
His ignorance on the reality of hurricane causation is myriad.
Is he speaking to China, the nation with the greatest pollution output, and the greatest cause of the supposed “man-made climate change”? Nope, he’s speaking to the U.S.
Hopefully China will do its duty. Perhaps Mexico can send Barbuda all that assistance they stood ready to give to the U.S.

Just for fun, I looked up past hurricanes to hit Barbuda. There was hurricane “Dog” in 1950 (seriously), in which Barbuda experienced 130 mph winds. Hurricane Donna in 1960 passed directly over Barbuda. Hurricane Georges in 1998; between Barbuda and Antigua, Georges killed 3 people, left 3,800 homeless and resulting at $160 million damage. Hurricane Gonzalo (2014); Antigua and Barbuda sustained US$40 million in losses, and boats were abundantly damaged or destroyed throughout the northern Leeward Islands. There are a bunch more. Here’s a link:

Trump Really Is ‘Bombing the Shit’ Out of ISIS Just Like He Promised
http://www.newsweek.com/trump-really-bombing-shit-out-isis-just-he-promised-664844
President Donald Trump pledged on the campaign trail to “bomb the shit” out of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, and new figures reveal that he is doing just that. The United States-led coalition dropped more than 5,000 bombs on the group’s positions in August.
“Coalition airpower continued its annihilation of ISIS, releasing more than 5,075 weapons, the most of any month in the three-year campaign to defeat ISIS,” the figures released by the U.S. Air Forces Central Command showed.
This number surpassed the previous monthly high for the campaign known as Operation Inherent Resolve, which was 4,848 in June, and double the number the year before, when it was just 2,244.
…
Under the Trump administration, U.S. military commanders have been handed a greater remit to decide strike locations and the frequency of those strikes. Already, 2017 is the year with the largest number of bombs dropped by the coalition, with only three-quarters of the year passed…

Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
