about the teacher who had her students dress in burqas to learn about Islam. Since this was a geography class, that seems outside the subject parameters. Plus, she said she wished she didn't have to teach this, then went on to tell the kids to call terrorists "freedom fighters." Forgetting that outrageous "fact," why is that being taught in geography class? ...

French police have shot a man outside Notre Dame cathedral in Paris after he tried to attack them with a hammer and shouted "This is for Syria", according to the interior minister. He was also in possession of two knives. One policeman was lightly injured in the attack. The main square has been evacuated and a police operation is underway. Paris police say the situation is now "under control". Anti-terror prosecutors have launched an investigation ...

I am wondering if there is one conservative party member or tpot anywhere out there with the courage to step up and denounce the behavior shown in the video at the bottom of the page? Health bill protesters jeer at man with Parkinson’s disease The passion against health care reform has elevated to such a level that protesters on Tuesday mocked an apparent Parkinson's Disease victim, scorning him as a "communist" who is looking for "handouts." Protesters on both ends of the he ...

2 days in the fridge, it's still a brick -- a 22-pound brick. now it's soaking in the sink, but the packaging says "don't thaw in water in the sink". is that cuz it's butter-basted, or just cuz it's against the turkey-thawing rules? looks like turkey-sicles on thursday --- help! ...

I have about a 12 pound turkey in my freezer. My hubbie gets a turkey at thanksgiving and ham at Christmas from his work. I didn't cook the turkey because we went to family for Thanksgiving. I was looking at the turkey in the freezer this morning and was wondering about spatchcocking it. I've never tried this, but I saw this on the cooking channel before and I think my turkey is the right size to do it. Anyone have any luck with it? I'm thinki ...

We got going on a discussion below about Thanksgiving disasters, and the conversation got to washing turkeys before cooking them. This is not a good practice. You can spread more salmonella and other bacteria washing raw poultry. All it does is splatter rawness in the sink, on the faucets, on the counters, on your clothes, etc. Cooking to the proper temperature (165 degrees at the fattest part of the breast) kills anything you are concerned about. ...

Every year I make turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, homemade bread and pumpkin pie. The daughters will bring another dessert or two. These are all traditional foods that my family enjoys, but I am so bored with it. I need some new, fresh, and different ideas. Even if I did something different with the beans or potatoes. Maybe a fruit salad? I still want some of the traditional foods, but does anyone have any idea ...

I have been preparing for weeks for Thanksgiving. Have 4 teenaged grandkids who will only try the turkey. They usually only like mac and cheese or pizza. Should I include a homemade version of mac and cheese with my meal? There is no way I will go with the packaged stuff they usually eat. It's either that or to see them with a little turkey only on their plates. Hopefully they will change over the years. My menu includes turkey, stuffing and all the veggies one could imagine for the grownup ...

This is a really dumb question, but since we had always gone to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving (she cooked the turkey and we brought all the rest of the stuff), I personally have not made a turkey in something like 15 years. But it was getting harder and harder to get everyone in one place, with all the kids being adults with their own families, in-laws to visit, etc. Then we do the whole thing again at Christmas. So this year, instead of having the whole family at o ...

Okay, so I'm posting ahead of time, but I just saw something interesting on the show "The Chew," the food talk show with Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Daphne (Dr. Oz's daughter) and Carla. They took leftover stuffing and turkey, stuffed it in red peppers and baked it, then threw gruyere cheese on top and broiled it till cheese was melted. They cut the bottoms off the peppers just enough so there was no hole, but the pepper could stand up in a baking dish. I thought that sou ...

Today I thawed a turkey breast (thawed it in cold water in the fridge). Planned to make dinner tonight with it. It is now thawed, but we are really not in the mood for what I had planned. My question is will it last overnight in the fridge or once thawed do I need to use it right away? Thanks. ...

Will Turkey now be more involved? Did they pay for their release? Did they agree that they will still not let coalition use Turkey for coordination of efforts, air bases, et cetera? ...

As Americans prepare for their Thanksgiving Day feasts, there's an issue on the horizon that could make that turkey more expensive: taxing meat to reduce climate change. Livestock is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, adding about the same amount of emissions as that of all the world's vehicles, according to a new report from the U.K. policy institute Chatham House. But many consumers aren't aware of the link between their dinner plates and climate change, the re ...

Correction: The Loretta Lynch identified earlier as the Whitewater attorney was, in fact, a different attorney. So what "news" source did not do proper source verifying? I am sure the poster who previously posted this "news" will come forward and apologize for spreading rumors. ...

A Turkish guard was killed but no American was killed this time but how much longer is the government going to pretend these are random acts. Watch the video: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/01/video-shows-aftermath-of-u-s-embassy-bombing-in-turkey/ ...

Admittedly I didn't copy the entire article which you can find on CNN.com - but this part clarifies what Issa is having a hissy fit over: One of the documents was a previously undisclosed email on September 14, 2012, from Ben Rhodes, a national security official specializing in communications, that listed talking points about protests that had erupted at U.S. embassies and compounds in the Muslim world.Among the goals listed in the Rhodes email was to "underscore that these prot ...

I usually buy fresh birds, but opted for the more budget-friendly 39-cents-per-pound rock-solid frozen version this time This turkey will be cooked before Sunday (hving an erly get-together), so I don't quite have enough time to defrost it in the fridge. The instructions suggest submersion in "cool" water in the sink for 30 minutes per pound, with frequent water changes. It has air-tight vacuum sealed packaging. I'm thinking that changing the wat ...

The following paragraphs are from a 2004 article. Kerry is on the record as saying that he threw his own medals over the wall, including the bronze star, the silver star and three purple hearts. He is also on the record saying that they were not his medals but someone else’s (e.g., Slate, Boston Globe). Historically, both versions of the story can’t be true. It is easy to see why he would lie about this issue. He has recently tried to portray himsel ...

He must have taken lessons from the Clintons. A nonprofit created in Secretary of State John Kerry’s upscale Boston home and managed by his daughter Vanessa has received more than $9 million from the Department of State, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has found. Seed Global Health was founded at 19 Louisburg Square in Boston’s Beacon Hill, tax forms indicate. News reports show that’s John Kerry’s home address, which Zillow estimates is worth nearly $18 mil ...

You'd think Sen. Johnson would have had enough sense yesterday, but definitely today, not to go with confrontational (and now we know uninformed/uneducated) questioning without even watching the classified video, a viewing of which Senators were invited to attend--he didn't... but he can still sit there and act like a know-it-all. Kerry was splendid. ...

in person, individually. This is how it should be done. Sort of like deciding whether to attend the visitation or making the home visit to a close friend. That trouncing down the street in solidarity was a show for the world, with little meaning. It might have been reassuring for the French, but the U.S. lack of participation or to what degree didn't affect the average person on the street. The government recognized what was important and those concerns ...
