Posted in Russia has officially invaded Ukraine Posted 3 years ago
@MaxIsConfused:
No one wants a war but that's likely what's going to happen. China and Russia formed an alliance and have been stockpiling resources since 2014. They have full intention on attempting to overthrow the US as a superpower while we're weakened after they take back the former USSR states. Worst case senario is that the end result is probably going to be akin to 1984 only worse.

They are assulting the capital and trying to take the airports as we speak.The magnitude of this conflict is going to be massive.I honestly hope this is going to be the same scale as the Donbas War. But the number of people involved now is much larger. Martial law was just declared, and shit is hitting the fan from every part of the country.
The US gets oil from Kazakhstan so gas prices are going to skyrocket. Which will lead the US to getting involved probably. It's going to be really bad, it already is really bad.

Posted in Snow and Hay Bales Posted 3 years ago
I was talking to my neighbor who was telling me about a snow storm his family survived when he was a kid. Over 20 feet of snow he claims. He said his dad kept going on and on for weeks about how they lost every chicken they had during the storm.

They only had one chicken.

My neighbor also said the storm got so bad that the town over flew in hay bales and dropped them out of the planes. One farmer requested that they drop the hay bales closer to his house. Those hay bales when hitting the ground were almost like bombs so when one of those bales went through that farmer's front porch he was not too happy. But I guess he got what he asked for.
Posted in My Coconut Cream Pie Recipe Posted 3 years ago


Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 cup milk
4 egg yolks (save egg whites)
3 Tbs butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp coconut extract
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1 premade store bought pie crust dough
1 9inch nonstick pie tin
-----
Step 1
Mold the pie crust dough into the 9 inch nonstick pie tin. Form the edges down how you like. Brush the rims of the crust with leftover eggwhites. Don't brush the inside where the filling goes. Then set aside.

Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt over a medium heat; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir with a whisk over medium heat until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Reduce heat to low and cook 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from heat.

Step 3 (skip this step if there are no lumps)
Place a strainer over a clean mixing bowl. Pour the mixture through the strainer.

Step 4
Beat the egg yolks slightly. Gradually pour 1 cup of the hot custard mixture into yolks, whisking constantly. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and bring the entire mixture to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes before removing the pan from heat.

Step 5
Stir butter, vanilla, coconut extract and coconut flakes into the hot mixture. Pour the hot filling into the pie crust. Bake for about 10-12 minutes at 450F. Or however the pie crust box tells you.

Step 6
Take pie out of the oven and let it cool. Then refrigerate until set, about 4 hours. Then slap some Cool Whip on it and extra coconut flakes. Done!

@Count Trashula:
My mom's pretty much the same. After 2020 she just started spiraling down into the far right nonsense. She's almost a completely different person than she was 4 years ago.

@GoblinsAndTea:
Good for granny! My mom thinks the same thing as your brother's dad. That it's a secret weapon created by the elite. Unfortunately trying to prove her wrong is a worthless endeavor. I'd have better luck teaching a brick wall to jump.
