skinned a chicken, washed some celery, peeled carrots, an onion and some other seasoning and put the pot on the fire to simmer. Four hours later I skimmed off the fat, put the broth in a container and went to visit a friend recovering from chemo. We had a lovely visit as two other friends dropped by.
So I missed all of the taxpayer funded second take of Groper Don the Con's reality show.
I'm betting I had a much better day that those of you who watched that despicable asshole.

(34,661 posts)how is your friend doing,that is what counts. Trumps Reality TV show was a bust for the most part. Princess Spikee Heels was their with a Green hat lettered Texas,and the Con Job was a huffing and Puffing pushing a 24 pack of water on the back of a pickup truck. Should have had one of Grips handle it,might have messed up his manicure.
Again,hope your friend is feeling better,had both Sister-in-laws go through that crap two years ago last month.
BTW,how was the Chicken and Vegies.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)I am eternally baffled that anyone would vote for him. I bet that if a chimp ran in the general as a republican, the chimp would get at least 30%, sad, but I am afraid true.

yonder
(9,666 posts)that chimp with the R would've been elected. more than once.
He's a fraud - a liar, and a cheat - and I'm barely scratching the surface.
yonder
(9,666 posts)Idaho has a track record of electing ill-suited folks to state and national office with no better qualifications than that "R" after their name. It's a great place to live - if you can accommodate its conservative politics. You could carve an R into a sugar beet and prop it up as a contender. Especially in the 1st district.

(10,014 posts)Our team packed 4320 meals in two hours.
Got a tweet a few hours ago that the "the 100 millionth meal is packed and ready to ship. Thank YOU".
So proud of the 15,000 volunteers who helped over the last 4 days, including a team from work who proudly wore their bright blue t-shirts and walked through the floor chanting "We're going to fight hunger"...

malaise
(269,022 posts)I took it out of the freezer - I skinned it because the fat is awful in broth and there's less to skim if you tear/cut off the skin.
We used to watch my favorite aunt kill chickens during the July/August holidays where we spent at least a month climbing fruit trees and playing non-stop. Those were the days.
