Gonna just top these with olive oil, basil, S&P, and Parm and broil til cheese melted. Great easy side.

Please share ideas. Oh and sweet corn and yellow squash GREAT here. Green beans not so much... Bad year?
Rick Wilson got a message from trump team member?
https://twitter.com/WordswithSteph/status/1688010069986643968?A very, VERY senior member of the Trump administration whom Rick Wilson agreed not to identify sent a message directly to Wilson. Rick shared the message with the audience of the show, never revealing the identity of the sender. The message was as follows: I regret serving in his administration more than anything Ive ever done in my life. Keep going. Youre patriots. Dont quit.
After reading the message to the Breakdown audience, Wilson ended the brief segment with a few choice words of his own: And if you knew who that was, your f*cking eyes would pop out.

BY NICK ROBERTSON - 08/04/23 10:53 PM ET
Justice Department Special counsel Jack Smith appealed to the federal judge overseeing former President Trumps election fraud case Friday evening to issue a protective order for evidence, citing social media threats.
IF YOU GO AFTER ME, IM COMING AFTER YOU! the former president posted earlier on Truth Social a move which has already drawn criticism with a former spokesperson for Trump calling it chilling and witness intimidation.
Would LOVE to know what Chris Matthews is thinking.
I know, 99% of DU hates him
But as an exception, I miss his deep historic references and world view
Can a news "newbie" provide that? Who?
Should know, but wondering about Brian Williams.
Just yearning for gravitas.

Grand jurors who will consider Trump charges to be selected Tuesday
https://www.ajc.com/politics/grand-jurors-who-will-consider-trump-charges-to-be-selected-tuesday/R7RXC2GUFRB5JLHKKRE5LX4IZ4/The selection of two Fulton County grand juries will be made Tuesday, with one of the panels expected to decide whether to hand up an indictment for alleged criminal interference in the 2020 presidential election.
One set of jurors is likely to be asked to bring formal charges against former President Donald Trump and other well-known political and legal figures. In a letter to county officials almost two months ago, District Attorney Fani Willis indicated the indictment could be obtained at some point between July 31 and Aug. 18.

Interesting Dowd NYT Opinion piece "Jersey Boy Takes On Florida Man"(dalton99a posted free view)
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/opinion/chris-christie-florida-trump.htmlSnip
He (Christie) said he isnt running to get back at Trump for giving him a horrible case of Covid. Trump came to debate prep in September 2020 without telling Christie or anyone else that he had tested positive the day before, and Christie ended up in the I.C.U. for seven days. And he said he isnt seeking payback because Trump didnt make him attorney general. (Jared Kushner was still nursing a grudge because Christie put Kushners father in prison.)
But even for a guy who could be plenty nasty as governor, trying to overturn democracy was a bridge too far.
The idea that somehow everyones going to stand around and wait for him to collapse of his own weight and then say, Oh, I didnt say anything bad about him, he said. Hes never fallen of his own weight. The only time Donald Trumps ever backed off in his life is when hes been beaten to back off. I saw it happen in Atlantic City. He was bankrupt three times. He had to finally give in and close down.
Christie mocked Ron DeSantis responding to Jan. 6 by saying he was not in Washington Was he alive? Christie asked Kaitlan Collins on CNN. He thinks DeSantis has already lost the authenticity contest: If you say to Tucker Carlson that Ukraine is a territorial dispute and then a few days later you go to Piers Morgan and you call Putin a war criminal, well, its one or the other.
If you've ever lived in the south - Ted Lasso's accent is so fake
Annoyingly fake.
Admit, it's only on in the background. But so far, can't believe this won so many awards.
Guess I need to really watch huh . But that accent makes me cringe
