"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

I have one to add which is sooooo yummy but super bad!!!  I use to make these often when i was younger.  My friend who is an aerobics insturctor gave me her family recipe after loving these!!!


This is my favorite recipe EVER!!! 
Works best with a Kitchen Aide; otherwise it is truely a chore.

Danish Butter Rolls (time: 3 hrs)

5-5 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. Salt
2 pkg. Yeast
1 cup milk
3/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
put aside another 1/4 cup butter softened to later put on dough when
 rolled
out
Preserves (your favorite on danishes)

Filling:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup softened butter

Frosting:
Butter
Powder sugar
milk           * Mix more powder suger and butter and just a little
 milk
until the right drizzling consistance.

In Bowl 1.  warm milk and 3/4 cup butter together.  Dissolve 1 pkg
 yeast in
warmed milk mixture.

In Bowl 2. (preferable kitchen aid bowl) Combine 2 cups flour, sugar,
 salt,
and the other pkg yeast.  Set Aside.

In Bowl 1 add eggs and vanilla.  Then add this mixture to bowl 2.  Beat
 for
3 minutes, then slowly add the rest of the left over flour  to bowl 2.
  Form
a stiff dough.  Then Knead for 3 minutes.  Cover.  Let stand until
 double
(about 45 mins).  Meanwhile, prepare filling.  Combine the filling
ingredants together and cover with saran wrap so it doesn't dry out.

Roll out dough to a 24x12 inch rectangle. Spread with soft butter.
  Sprinkle
on filling.  Roll up.  Cut into 1 inch slices.  Place cut-side down on
well-greased cookie sheet, 3-4 inches apart.  Flatten to 1/2 inch
 thickness.
Make a depression in center of each roll and fill with 1 tsp of
 preserves.
Cover, let rise in warm place 30-45 mins.

Note: I do half the dough at a time because only 1 cookie sheet will
 fit in
the oven at a time.  I keep the other half of the dough in the
 refrigerator
until ready -- this way it won't over-rise.

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.  DO NOT OVERBAKE.  Let cool.  Drizzle
 with
powdered sugar/milk/butter frosting mixture.

They are yummy!!!

"The only things that stand between a person and what they want in life are the will to try it, and the faith to believe it's possible" Rich Devos

one of my all time favorite foods... very German.
Fleischkuechle:

Filling
1 lb. raw hamburger
a little onion chopped fine <--- onion salt usually
salt & pepper to taste <-- can use taco seasoning
2 eggs
Mix together in bowl

Dough
In a separate bowl, mix together;
3 cups flower
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 to 1 tsp salt

Mix together and make into small balls, place ball on floured surface and
roll about 1/8 inch thickness, size of a saucer about 6" in diameter. I
usually make sure they are floured on both sides so they won't stick when
you roll them. I usually roll a little on one side and then flip it over
and finish rolling so they won't stick to the table or rolling pin.
Put 1 or 2 tablespoons, filling on half of the circle, then fold over and
seal with a plate or a fork or press the edges with your fingers.

Now you are dealing with hot oil, so be very careful.

Deep fry in a kettle of oil. Put enough oil
in so it covers them good and make sure the oil is hot before you put them
in; don't put it on too high, usually 375 to 400 degrees, fry till golden
brown. Remove from kettle or stir fry pan and drain on paper towel after
you take them out.

How to serve:

cut in half and fill the pocket with whatever you like.
The preferred method is just eat with catsup.

We always made triple batches for 4-5 people, they freeze well and will keep for 2 days in the fridge.

400 deg = gas mark 6, so you want about 425 - 450 deg ( gas mark 7 and 8)

from my dads side who grew up in Minnesota ..
Lefse
INGREDIENTS:
5 cups mashed potatoes
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup solid vegetable shortening
2-3 cups flour
PREPARATION:
If you can, mix all ingredients except flour while the mashed potatoes are hot, then let cool. If you can't, heat the mashed potatoes in the microwave until hot, then add sugar, salt and shortening.
Add flour and mix until you have stiff dough.


The amount of flour you will add depends on the consistency of the potatoes, the humidity in the air, and your own taste. The less flour you add the better. Just add flour until you get a nice, workable, stiff dough.
Pinch off portions the size of an egg. Roll paper-thin on a floured pastry cloth, using as little flour as possible. Heat electric griddle or frying pan to medium high heat. Place each lefse on hot griddle and cook until light brown spots form on the bottom. Turn over and cook the second side until light brown spots form. Remove lefse carefully from griddle and stack between paper towels. To serve, spread with softened and sugar (brown sugar is my favorite). Roll up and eat!

Skippy, I'm sitting here giggling. My son (youngest) just yelled down he is going to make brownies.

He's going to be 17 the end of Aug. My middle one is 21 and oldest is 23.

His favorites to make are brownies (homemade), which he loves to experiment with, adding different stuff. The best I personally like is the regular recipe with cream cheese swirled through it.

He also likes making choc chip cookies, oatmeal raison, peanut butter (his favorite food I think, lol). Then there's just been random sweet stuff he's tried. I need to teach him cheesecakes....
