I like to keep up with how other people see the world, and WaPo columnist Jen Rubin is one of them. But I see nothing but lies.

Does she really believe this? If Republican voters are all Christian nationalists, Hitler fascists, and hate "reproductive freedom", then I am confused.

I've been to Trapani (west coast of Sicily), and have even taken a little boat out to the Egadi Islands to bike around and eat good seafood.

The area around Trapani is full of salt flats which are windmill-filled.

You can buy their Sicilian sea salt on Amazon. Sure, salt is salt and "sea salt" is the same thing but it's fun to use their sea salt. I like the coarse type which does not fit in a salt-shaker. That's why we use salt bowls. I love salt.

Hebrews 10:11-14, (15-18), 19-25

10:11 And
every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and
again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins.

10:12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, "he sat down at the right hand of God,"

10:13 and since then has been waiting "until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet."

10:14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

10:15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

10:16 "This
is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the
Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their
minds,"

10:17 and he adds, "I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more."

10:18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

10:19 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

10:20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh),

10:21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

10:22 let
us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our
hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed
with pure water.

10:23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.

10:24 And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds,

10:25 not
neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging
one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

My view is that it can't hurt, especially if you work out hard. I take a scoop every morning. Might be placebo effect.

How does creatine work?

I am willing to eat 2 or 3 Brussel Sprouts just for the virtue of it. It's odd, because I do enjoy regular cabbage.

Anyway, our Brussel Sprouts recipe is this: First, freeze them if only for a few hours. Why? Cuz they are better with a little freeze. Then chop in half and cook in bacon chunks under the broiler or in a cast iron pan with salt and pepper.

How do your make them?

Bacon makes everything better.
