1. Will Spanky be served two scoops of ice cream while the other guests get only one?

[guillaumeb]

3. Why only 2 scoops?

A man in his superb condition deserves at least 6 scoops.

2. Freedom Fries on the side

4. I am guessing it will be whatever is close-dated at Mar-A-Lago!

5. I was hoping it would be hamburgers for dinner

and President Macron would ask our village idiot acting as president to "please pass the Grey Poupon".

9. Isn't "tomato jam" just ketchup?

[elleng]

10. Doesn't sound like it!

'Good tomatoes and balance are crucial. You need sugar for the kind of gooey, sticky quality we associate with jam; otherwise, all you’re producing is a tomato sauce, no matter how different the flavor is from the classic. Once you add that sugar, however, you need acid, because even though tomatoes are plenty acidic, they can’t counter all that sugar. I tried lemon juice, vinegar and finally lime, deciding that I liked the last best.'

1 ½ pounds good ripe tomatoes (Roma are best), cored and coarsely chopped
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh grated or minced ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 jalapeño or other peppers, stemmed, seeded and minced, or red pepper flakes or cayenne to taste
