Meat Loaf Recipe.

Hello Friends and Readers:
   Those of you who know me well, understand how much I love to eat fine food and also have close friends over for a small party or dinner.  I know that I must restrain myself of binging on the goodies and sweet bakery....  or I will die early.  But if I must eat less, please let the simple meals have zest and full flavor!   As you know,  I have been around the world at an early age, both Europe and Asia long before I was age 21, and enjoyed what the natives ate and learned much.     I figured if those different cultures didn't die from what they eat, neither should I.  

So I don't know what or what society invented Meat Loaf,  but I like it once in a while.  Sorry to say that too many people were born and raised by ignorant parents and family who told them that other cultures served "bad food."  And it is the height of super ignorance to say that:  'I hate some food, but I never ever tried it!!'   Who can deal with such IGNORANCE?  I pride myself in good communication and writing,  but even I sometimes just have to leave people alone because they are unwilling to use common sense and simple thoughts... Ha!   I simply don't need the extra stress and  'democrat reasoning.'  I could be doing something constructive and fun instead.  "Never argue with a fool --- because people might not know the difference."   The Bible says something about that idea too.   See: 
      
  1. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Don't answer a fool according to his foolishness or you'll be like him yourself. Don't make a fool of yourself by answering a fool. If you answer a silly question, you are just as silly as the person who asked it.
  2. What Does the Bible Say About Arguing With A Fool?

    www.openbible.info/topics/arguing_with_a_fool
    Genesis 1:1-31 ESV / 2 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 
I hope that all my readers will benefit from this recipe.   Prepare for more snow and cold.  I love Spring and Summer, and where I live ---we hardly ever have a Fall season.  Have a great week.

Warm Regards:

Recipe for the Best Tasting Meatloaf Ever!





Every now and then, I get a sudden craving for some delicious meatloaf - and it's all I can think about. Tender, savory, tasty bites of meatloaf glazed with ketchup (yes, seriously). If you have been scarred by tasteless and dry meatloaf in the past, it's really about time that you revisited this classic dish. Here is how you can make the most tender, most delicious meatloaf that you have ever had.
Easy - Meatloaf - Recipe
The Basic Meatloaf Formula
All meatloaf recipes have the same basic formula: 2 pounds of ground meat and a "panade" made out of bread and crackers soaked in milk. Along with a couple of eggs, this panade helps hold the ground meat together and adds moisture to the mix. Don't worry - this won't make your meatloaf taste like bread, but you will definitely miss it if it is absent.
The Meat
Any ground meat can be used in a meatloaf: pork, veal, lamb, or beef. You can use one kind of meat, or, if you like, you can mix together a few different types of meat to give your meatloaf some different flavors and textures. In my opinion, the best kind of mix is 70% beef (for its flavor) and 30% pork (for its fatty richness). You should definitely have some fat in your mix so that your meatloaf doesn't end up being dry and crumbly.
The Vegetables
A mirepoix made up of small-diced onions, carrots, and celery is a classic, but you can swap any of these veggies for any of your favorites: mushrooms, peas, and even broccoli work very well. Whatever vegetables you decide to use, make sure you cook them before they go into your meatloaf so that they are tender rather than crunchy.
The Glaze
This might be old-fashioned, but I really do love a swath of ketchup on my meatloaf. The ketchup concentrates in the oven, creating a creamy, delicious tomato-y glaze that pairs amazingly with the savory nature of the meatloaf. If you don't like ketchup, you can use BBQ sauce or any other sauce that you like. If you don't want a glaze, you can drape the meatloaf in strips of bacon before cooking - as we know, bacon makes everything better and that is definitely true here.
A Final Note
The final piece of the puzzle to making a great tasting meatloaf is two-fold: cooking time and letting it rest. A 2-pound meatloaf will cook in about an hour - do not overcook as the meat will turn tough and crumbly. The best way to check whether your meatloaf is done is by checking its internal temperature; as soon as it hits 155-160°F, you can take it out of the oven. Letting it rest before you slice it up gives the juices in the meatloaf a chance to redistribute and settle. If you slice it too quickly, the tasty juices will flow out and you'll be left with a dry meatloaf.
How to Make Meatloaf

Don't be Fooled by the Devil.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

Hello Friends,
    I am tired of Winter, snow and cold.  I will celebrate when Spring arrives and plan to do more light carpentry and maybe a few repairs for next Winter season.   
     I just wanted to publish the latest effort of Hal Lindsey again because it always makes a lot of good sense and very productive.   Most of the "News" makes me sick but it also moves me to trust the Lord.   I am always working on my own personal life and habits.   I want to be a better husband and set the right example for my wife, Loretta, who is a fine wife and companion.   Next week is both our birthdays and we are both blessed by Father God so many ways.  My 2015 Dodge Ram 4 by 4 is almost paid off !!   Then I can swing around and pay more on other bills!  I learned many great ideas when I worked for PFS Investments many years ago when I was laid off from Chrysler in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  

BTW, a Cardinal of the Catholic church from the East Coast of America finally got  'busted and stripped of his priesthood' by the Pope, for sexual misconduct after many years!  Other religions have the same problem in America too ....  sorry.

Keep warm, and smile.

Warm Regards,

The United States is quickly becoming a different place. Many of the things we took for granted just a few short years ago may no longer be true.

Here's one: Bipartisan support for Israel in the United States Congress.

Recently, the Senate passed a bill. It's called "The Strengthening America's Security in the Middle East Act." The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) notes that the bill, "contains critical pro-Israel provisions."

According to AIPAC, "These provisions... pledge security assistance to Israel and clarify that state and local governments have the right to counter boycotts of Israel."

The bill passed by a vote of 77-23. All but one Republican voted for it, along with 25 Democrats.

At first, that sounds like US support for Israel remains strong and bipartisan. But let's look closer.

Of the seven Democratic senators who have indicated (or declared) that they will run for President in 2020, six voted "no" on this bill.

Only Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota voted "yes." "Nay" votes were cast by Senators Cory Booker, Sherrod Brown, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren.

In the past, all of these candidates have expressed some degree of support for Israel. All of them say they personally oppose the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

So why are they now afraid to put their names on the line?

One reason could be the growing strength of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Democratic circles. The ACLU is supposedly non-partisan. But it is, in fact, a major power-broker within the Democrat Party and the ACLU consistently fights anything that might weaken the BDS movement.

Apparently, the six Democratic senators who voted against Israel fear the ACLU more than they fear their Jewish constituencies.

But the ACLU is not the only voice against Israel in Democratic circles.

Believe it or not, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is the rock star of the Democrat Party. Few politicians have garnered so much attention so quickly. Tom Perez, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee has called Ocasio-Cortez, "the future of our party." (That probably says more about the current state of the Democrat Party than it does about the young Representative's potential for the future.)

A member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Ocasio-Cortez has denounced Israel's "occupation of Palestine." She called Israel's defense of its border with Gaza a "massacre."

Though she has admitted that she is "not an expert" on the Middle East, it apparently doesn't matter. Democrat Party stalwarts and leaders are jumping on the bandwagon to support every proposal she throws out. Apparently they fear the Millenials that idolize her more than they fear the rank and file members of the Party.

But she's just one of the rising stars of the Democrat Party that are increasingly casting Israel as the Middle East's central villain.

Ilhan Omar is the new Representative from Minnesota's 5th Congressional District. Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, she is a Muslim and is undeniably (and arrogantly) anti-Semitic. She once tweeted: "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."

When she was a member of the Minnesota legislature, she openly supported the BDS movement. Then, during her campaign for Congress, she claimed to be against BDS. Now that she has been elected and seated, she is once again for BDS.

In the recent past, Omar indicated that she believes that because Israel identifies itself as a Jewish state, it cannot be a democracy.

Just last week, an Omar tweet implied that Jews are bribing Congressmen in order to get them to support Israel. That's the old trope that outsider Jews control governments with their massive, but hidden, wealth.

When Republicans and Jewish Democrats complained loudly, the House Democratic leadership finally scolded her and demanded she apologize. Which she did. Sort of. Then quickly went back to her insinuations.

As an indication of where the Democrat Party is headed, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has placed Rep. Omar on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. This radical rising star is now in a position to help mold US foreign policy.

Last week, Israel's Strategic Affairs Ministry released a report called "Terrorists in Suits." The report exposes more than 100 links between terrorist groups and leading BDS organizations.

It shows how the terrorists are exploiting "social justice" organizations around the world, especially those associated with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.

Writing in the Jerusalem Post, Liat Collins says, "Connecting the dots, you can trace a line from 'terrorists in suits' to terrorists in suicide vests."

4il.org is a quasi-official intelligence website in Israel. It notes how prominent terrorist organizations are "utilizing a network of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) promoting boycotts against Israel as an additional tactic in their ultimate goal of dismantling the State of Israel."

It continues, "The report documents how boycott organizations and terrorist designated organizations raise finances together, share the same personnel.... Contrary to popular belief, these officials have not abandoned their support for terrorism, but, instead, continue to maintain organizational, financial, and active ties with terrorist groups."

And now we know that the young Democrat Party stars who are "the future of the party" support these "Terrorists in Suits."

Also on this week's program, I will discuss a disturbing trend in the church world. Actually, it's a trend I warned about almost 50 years ago in my book, The Late Great Planet Earth.

I had in mind two converging and complementary trends: One toward apostasy and the other toward modern ecumenism.

When I say "ecumenism," I am not referring to traditional ecumenism, such as Baptists communing with Catholics. I'm talking about Muslim imams preaching in Christian pulpits. Or church women's groups inviting Wiccan priestesses to speak.

I'm talking about so-called Christian ministers participating in rallies with Satanists, such as the rally at the Arkansas state capitol when Satanists were protesting the installation of a Ten Commandments memorial.

There are churches in America whose primary goal is to show everyone how open-minded they are. But when they do that, they abandon the true message of the Gospel. And Peter articulated that true message succinctly. He said, "There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 NASB)

Jesus Himself made it even clearer: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." (John 14:6 NASB)

If a minister or denomination rejects these essential Christian doctrines, then unity with non-Christians becomes easy. Throw away the core doctrines of the Gospel, and you can embrace everything else.

And that's what we're seeing today. The meteoric rise of humanism. The embrace of all-inclusive Hinduism by many of our cultural and academic elites.

It comes from the same mindset that uses the now-popular terms, "your truth" and "my truth." That implies that truth varies for different people. That is a lie from Satan.

From that perspective, imagine how attractive it is to find a religion that says, "Don't worry about it. Everyone's right. We will all go to heaven!"

Thousands of years ago, Bible prophecies warned that these attitudes would characterize the last days of the Age of Grace. 1 Timothy 4:1 says, "The Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons." (NASB) 2 Timothy 4:3 warns, "The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires." (NASB)

Folks, that time is here.

Don't be fooled by the smooth, soothing words of Satan from the mouths of many of the religious leaders of our day. Stay in God's Word. Stay prayed up. And stay alert and sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. If we depend on Him, He will help us stay firmly planted on the rock of truth and we'll not be misled by the whims of the moment.

I doubt he fully appreciates it, but President Donald Trump has performed a valuable service for scores of millions of Americans. He has opened their eyes to the insidious atmosphere of deception that pervades America and, indeed, the world.

When he takes on the mainstream media and constantly points out the daily examples of "fake news"; when he exposes the bald-faced lies of those who promote the "virtues" of socialism; when he boldly proclaims late-term abortion to be what it is -- infanticide or homicide -- and not the benign disposal of fetal tissue the liberals proclaim; when he points out that the multi-national pacts such as The Trans-Pacific Partnership or the Paris Climate Accord are nothing less attempts by globalist forces to gain control of the world without the approval of the world's citizens; when he calls to account those on the Left who now oppose border security and support for Israel and the sanctity of marriage and the protection of the American worker when, just a few short years ago, they approved and promoted all of those things, President Trump is doing what both Jesus and the Apostle Paul did. He is warning us that we are being misled. We are being deceived.

We are being told one thing when the reality is something far different. And in every case, the ones telling the lies know perfectly well that they are lying, but they don't care. To them, the end justifies the means. And the ultimate end is the defeat of God and the victory of Satan over this world.

I know that may sound a bit cosmic and dramatic, but it is no less true.

How do I know that? I know that because Jesus Himself understood that the atmosphere of deception would be so great in the final days before His return that He took great pains to warn all believers to pay special attention to the danger.

When His disciples asked Him to tell them how they would recognize the end of the age, the first words out of His mouth were, "See to it that no one misleads you...." (Matthew 24:4 NASB)

In 2 Timothy 3:13, Paul warns that in the last days, "Evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."

Just think how only a few short years ago, most Americans (and most of the world's citizens) blithely accepted as truth whatever the press and our leaders told us. Now we know that, in fact, disturbingly little of what the mainstream media or the politicians tell us is true. And if it is true, they are only telling us the portion of it that furthers their ambitions.

With the birth of the internet and the explosion of social media, the curtain has been pulled back on the controlling powers in the world. Their constant, malicious deceptions have been exposed. That's why we now see such vitriol and such desperate and unreasoning opposition to anything and everything that smacks of Judeo-Christian values.

And even though Donald Trump is not a man of God, there is no doubt in my mind that he is God's man for this time. His willingness to speak the truth and bear the consequences has performed a valuable service for the kingdom of God. Like a lightning rod, he has drawn down upon himself the wrath of the forces of evil in this world. And by striking so viciously at him, they have exposed themselves and their true agendas.

He has caused much of the world to realize that it is being misled and has been deviously misled for decades!

Are we at last waking up? Is it too late?

Like a splash of cold water in the face of a sleeping man, events of the last few months -- even the last few days -- have been a jolt to our sense of well-being. We have learned that for many millions of people in America, and especially those on the Left, the presumption of innocence and the guarantee of due process are just empty words. We have learned that the convenience of the mother outweighs the rights of the child she carries. We have learned that life in the womb is not sacred to the Left, in fact, we are now learning that new life outside the womb may not be sacred, either. And I suspect that soon we will learn that life at the end of one's adulthood isn't really sacred to the Left.

We have learned that some of our most respected leaders actually believe that we are incapable of making our own decisions and guiding our own lives. They are taking steps to ensure that we will soon lose those rights. If their plans succeed, our rights of self-determination will be ceded to the government to determine how we earn our livings, how much of our money we can keep, where, when, and if we can receive medical care, how we can educate, discipline, or train our children, what words we can use, what thoughts we are allowed to think and express, when, where, and if we can worship, and who or what we are allowed to worship.

Sadly, friends, I am not overstating anything I've just written. In fact, some of these things are frighteningly close to becoming reality. Many of them will be campaign themes in the upcoming 2020 national elections!

Censorship, something most older Americans never worried about in America, is now being practiced daily. In fact, many younger Americans are ignorantly demanding it. Socialism is the new mantra of the Left and the Democrat Party. Sexual fluidity is bearing down on us like a runaway train. The public proclamation of Judeo-Christian values is quickly becoming anathema to public acceptance when, not so long ago, it was a requirement for public approval.

In short, we are at the edge of the precipice. And most of us didn't even realize that we were approaching a cliff!

That's because Satan has been continually and skillfully wielding one of his strongest weapons upon the world: deception. And he has been successfully practicing it since the Garden of Eden. He's so good at it, that he caused Eve, then Adam, to bite!

On this week's program, I am going to discuss this idea further. I'll even give you a few examples from the news of the past few weeks and months. I am titling this special edition: "Day of Deception."

It's late, but not too late, yet. We still have time to wake up and shake off the chains of slumber. But we must do it now! And we must ask God to rouse His Church to the reality of what is happening around us. We must ask Him to help us realize that we are being deceived and to help us recognize the truth and pursue it with all our hearts.
