1. I'm going to start popping the corn.

[Arkansas Granny]

2. Better make a big batch.

12. I'll take butter on mine.

[Arkansas Granny]

13. Yes, with just a light sprinkle of Lawrey's Seasoned salt.

17. I ordered 2 bushels from Cromer's in Columbia SC.

And a Mueller Time t-shirt from elsewhere. I'm ready to go.

19. Merciful heavens! You weren't joking about Cromer's selling by the bushel!

21. No. And it's good too...

"Guaranteed the worst in town." Ha.

18. How about a nice big glass of peach mint lemonade to go with the popcorn?

PEACH MINT LEMONADE

The lemon juice and cold water proportions are easily adjusted to your personal tartness/strength preferences. Lemonade keeps well, covered, in the refrigerator for up to three days. As it sits, the fruit and mint flavors will develop, especially if you've added any additional peach slices or mint sprigs to the pitcher. If making ahead of time, stir before serving.
.......

YIELD: 6 -8 SERVINGS

INGREDIENTS

PEACH-MINT SIMPLE SYRUP
2 cups diced ripe peaches (about 3 medium, pitted)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1-1/2 cups packed mint leaves, roughly chopped.

LEMONADE
1/2 - 1 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
4 cups cold water
ice


INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE THE PEACH-MINT SIMPLE SYRUP

In a medium saucepan, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer about 5 minutes until sugar is dissolved and peaches are fragrant. Remove from heat, stir in chopped mint leaves, and let steep until cooled, about an hour. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids to release juices. Discard solids.

MIX THE LEMONADE

In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice (I always start with 1/2 cup and increase to taste from there), peach-mint simple syrup, and 4 cups cold water, to your personal sweetness/tartness preferences. (This will also depend on the sweetness of your peaches, which can vary widely. Remember that lemonade will further dilute in flavor when served over ice, so it's best to keep the mixture slightly concentrated.) Pour into ice-filled glasses garnished with additional peach slices and a sprig of mint, if desired.

VARIATIONS:

Spike it for the adults: Add bourbon, white rum, peach schnapps, tequila, or citrus-flavored vodka, to taste.

Sparkle it: Substitute 4 cups cold sparking water when mixing the lemonade.

Melba it: Add a generous handful of raspberries with the peaches.

3. Oh goody. When will it happen?

[Brother Buzz]

5. In my perfect world, it would have been 'yesterday'

[MineralMan]

4. Bring it!

[HopeAgain]

6. Let the perjury begin...

[Sanity Claws]

7. That's what I thought too

Mueller wants them to testify publicly so no one can claim that the two of them misunderstood a question or otherwise lie to explain away an incriminating answer.

[sprinkleeninow]

8. Popcorn, Jr. Mints and Milk Duds at the ready!

Climbing to a fever pitch soon!

[mercuryblues]

9. post #3 & 6

my exact words when I read this.

Oh goody! let the perjury begin! Mueller, by now knows what this crew is all about. I am willing to bet he is hoping they perjure themselves. Waiting to see what gets shaken lose with this.

[L. Coyote]

10. I bet Mueller has already given questions to some Senators.

[barbtries]

11. ooh, when?

i'll spend the day in headphones and rearrange my travel plans if necessary.

though i suspect they'll either plead the 5th or lie their asses off, one or the other, it's hard to imagine the truth coming out. I keep thinking that maybe Mueller was willing to forego dealing with Flynn because he could get Manafort. i don't know though.

i wish this dark chapter was over already. i'm fatigued by anxiety on all fronts it seems.

[ffr]

15. Me too, but hang in there. You're not alone.

Keep the pressure on 45. He's weak. We fight. America wins.

[ffr]

14. Love the Winning!

16. Popcorn on my shopping list

Oh, my.

[Hekate]

20. Pass the butter n salt
