I used the dough hook on the mixer.
Make 6 balls and roll each out to about 8" circle.
I cooked them on a cast iron skillet at medium on an electric stove.

Today I become an octogenarian.

It's been a long project.
I started working on it August 22, 1941.
I used a leaf blower to blow out the candles and then the smoke alarm went off.

Bush's war

Why is W getting no blame for getting the U.S. into Afghanistan in the first place?
Yeah, it was probably Cheney and Rumsfeld that got him to do it, but it was on his watch.

Biden has put a HUGE "THE BUCK STOPS HERE" on his administration.
Bush, Obama, and Trump kicked this tarbaby down the road.
Biden has the guts to say "Enough is enough".

We learned NO lessons from Viet Nam.
Same-o...same-o.
Support a corrupt/U.S. puppet regime in hopes that we could help them 'win' what was basically a civil war.

Kipling had it right over 100 years ago:
"Now it is not good for the Christian’s health to hustle the Aryan brown,
For the Christian riles, and the Aryan smiles and he weareth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear: “A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.”
