Because they don't sell walnut or birch syrup in the stores around here.

I've often thought about doing some of these things.... But getting the cast iron waffle iron is the "must have" thing to make these with. Then the temperature of the seasoned cast iron has a very small window or ELSE! Gas burner has to be just right.... And you have to be ready to make a...

I quit making buttermilk pancakes altogether....it's just a pale comparison to sourdough pancakes. I use sourdough starter to make them. The part that usually gets discarded if you aren't making bread. Just add eggs, flour, sugar, oil/butter and salt. Vanilla if you like too. Very much...

At the root of socialism is the desire for "free labor". Easy living.... It never works. Because everything gets rationed to spread it around fairly...and waste becomes the norm...at first. Then supplies get tight for things like fertilizers and pesticides. And that part of the gubberment...

Taiwan produces 70% of the global supply of computer chips....from memory to processing to bus chips....they are made in Taiwan. That's why Taiwan can buy the rest of China. ALL American chip companies from Intel, NVIDIA, Micron, and Western Digital make chips in Taiwan.....because of the...

Let me explain it this way. The 2 Tetriarchs (Pilate and Herod) and the Jews made Jesus a political discussion out of something that definitely was NOT political. Then killed him. Because the Jews demanded it. And since Jesus refused to talk to Herod (little wonder since he had John the...

I know Starbucks is the "big boy" on the block for expresso based coffee.... BUT There's lots of others anymore and a lot of them actually have good coffee. A lot of newer equipment is available for making the puck properly....and independently owned shops buy good coffee instead of a more...

Good topic to ressurect. And NO....God is not interested in Communism whatsoever. He is interested in being a benevolent Dictatorship. With complete sole authority over everyone and everything. Besides....we have had Communism tried several times with different groups here in the...

They were literally starving to death on the Island...because it was a penal colony Because they embraced Christianity and Free Market capitalism instead of atheism and communism. They were sent to Taiwan to die. We, the USA sent humanitarian aide and tried to help them economically. CCP...

CCP is upset over the new President of Taiwan.... BUT.... The real valuable bit of Taiwan is the people who live and work there....and they hate Mainland China. They aren't going to work for the Government...and would rather die if they can't live free. Scorched Earth is their motto if it...

That's about $20.... The Russian Ruble floats between a penny and a nickel.

Anyone who was a unich or not completely whole was excluded from the Tabernacle or Temple. You weren't allowed in and were relegated to outside the courtyard.... Such was the fate of Daniel.

I'm thinking about this and it almost seems like "modalism". To me, God revealed Himself in three different distinct and separate ways to us... But that doesn't make God a pantheon or make God wear three different hats. God is all three at the same time while being one at the same time...
