I made the lentil soup I wrote about recently and it was delicious. I didn't use the
Grains of Paradise that I had asked questions about since I could only find them online.
I browned a pound of mild Italian sausage. I then added onion and celery and cooked until slightly tender, then I put in a couple cloves of minced garlic. Next I added a the lentils and about a quart of chicken stock. When they had come to a boil I added a couple of diced carrots, some diced yukon gold potatoes, a can of diced tomatoes, a couple of bay leaves and cooked until everything was tender. It was a little thicker than I wanted, so I added a little more stock and a couple dollops of tomato paste. At the very end I stirred in a few handfuls of spinach and baby kale that I had on hand and a couple of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar along with salt and pepper to taste.
It made a big pot, so I froze several servings. We've been having some wet, cold weather this week and it has really hit the spot.
Long lost relatives.

How many of you grew up with one of these in your home?
This is not exactly the same as the one my dad had, but it's the closest I could find. The drawer above the speaker held a turntable. It had several push buttons that could be pre-set to your favorite stations. As I recall, you could also pick up short wave broadcasts, but I don't remember my dad ever doing that. It was an impressive piece of furniture.
More Than A Month's Worth Of Rain Has Fallen Over Parts Of Aust
Firefighters and drought affected farmers have been praying for this moment ever since the forecast was made and the heavens have certainly opened up.
According to Sky News, a month's worth of rain fell over Melbourne over a few hours and the storm is now heading up through New South Wales.
.......
The Daily Mail reports the storm has been a massive win for firefighters, helping extinguish 32 bushfires in New South Wales.

Finally, some relief.
Trump's Goons Were Up to Something Very Shady in Ukraine
One of them is a series of messages between Parnas, who met with Trump on several occasions and claims the president personally directed his mission in Ukraine, and Robert Hyde. A beefy retired Marine and current Republican congressional candidate, Hyde made several chilling remarks that seemed to indicate that he was surveilling Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, and prepared to do something to her.
Reading these messages makes clear Hyde was planning to do something unpleasant to Yovanovitch, apparently in tandem with some kind of security personnel he contacted, perhaps Russian ones:

The article goes on to discuss the letter Rudy sent to Zelensky in his capacity of Trump's personal attorney.
This is why Trump was impeached for obstruction of Congress.

Guess who the Republicans call "elitists".
