Hello StarKin- how is everyone doing? Looks like some are back, but you never know.
It’s Sunday! A day to relax so I don’t really want to rehash the uncle Tom & Jerry rigging post of earlier, but will add this bit about the SCOTUS’ Chief Judge John Robert’s middle finger to the Senate Judiciary Committee to talk about “commonsense proposals to hold Supreme Court justices to the same ethical standards as the rest of the federal judiciary.” I’ll leave you with this. CAPITAL CROOKS!
As I said, it’s Sunday! Yesterday, I went to Costco and they were selling Alaskan dungeness for $7.99/# whole, fully cooked, and knuckles with legs and claws for $9.99/# Alaskan is bigger and saltier (in my opinion) than what we generally get here. They also have a tougher shell and very sharp jagged pieces around the claws. Bitch bit back yesterday and I had to whip out the turmeric to staunch the bleeding on the finger (that does work by the way and is usually right there in the kitchen at the time you need it; I don’t paste it as suggested above; I just pour it over because I’m usually bleeding at the time). That hunk of crab never tasted so good!
This morning, I have all the cleaned meat ready to go and I thought I would give this Julia Child’s “hollandaise in a blender” a spin. I love a good crab benedict but detest the generally soggy muffin. That’s the best thing about making it yourself – you can make your way.
It’s a chill day so let’s part with some chill music, an oldy-but-goody from DJ Krush.
*update: I did not make eggs benedict. But I can say the blender hollandaise recipe is a definite keeper! So easy, so delicious. I added dried tarragon to the blender.
Here’s a real fine Sunday Supper: filet mignon, dungeness crab and hollandaise sauce. It only needs some asparagus to call it “Oscarized.” Wish you were here to enjoy it with me!
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
PrP, am I too young? Who is DJ Krush?

Did You Know?
Motorola provided communications and data transmission equipment for most NASA space missions, including the moon landing; When Armstrong said “One small step…”, it was broadcast home using Motorola equipment.
What is the origin of the name Ursula? I met her on Tinder. She clicked like and I clicked meet me at a place of her choice. Just want to know what I am meeting. She’s fine, but so am I. If the place is reasonable, I’ll pay, but if it is a bit on the expensive side, we should go Dutch. I’m that fine.
Jeez and I was just starting to like you too
What?
You don’t like a guy unless he is paying? All my life (31 years) I’ve bought. If “me too” means anything, it must include this answer to who pays when the bill comes, “me too.”
It’s the EGO that is the turn off.
Blessed Beltane witches and pagans. <3 Merry meet

PrP,
I am a big fan of tarragon. One of my favorite combos is tarragon with turmeric sautéed with garlic, pitted calamata olives, capers and purple onion spread over poached chicken breast on a bed of raw spinach with thickly sliced purple cabbage. I layer the tastes by adding an olive oil/balsamic dressing over the spinach and cabbage before placing the breast. Then dress the breast with the sautéed items. Another addition might be boiled fingerling potatoes around the side. Finish with a squeeze of Meyer lemon over all.
So you cook also? Big Dick. And a connoisseur of la mesa. Michelle’s loss may be this Latina’s gain. So where do you hang? Pun intended.
that sounds pretty tasty, minus the red onions.
JOKE:
A priest, a rabbi and a minister are in a bar…
Talk get around to how they handle their respective donations from the collection plates.
“Well,” says the priest, “to be fair, I draw a chalk circle on the floor, and toss all the money in the air. What falls inside the circle goes to the Lord; what lands outside, I keep.”
The minister nods appreciatively. “Very similar here – but what lands in the circle, I keep. Still rather fair, I think.”
Then they both look at the rabbi who has remained silent. “So, how do you divvy up the church donations?”
“Eh… I don’t go for all that stuff with chalk circles. I just throw the money up in the air and what the Lord wants, he takes.”
Joke:
A little old lady called 911. When the operator answered she yelled, “Help, send the police to my house right away! There’s a damn Republican on my front porch and he’s playing with himself.”
“What?” the operator exclaimed!
“I said there is a damn Republican on my front porch playing with himself and he’s weird; I don’t know him and I’m afraid! Please send the police!” the little old lady repeated.
“Well, now, how do you know he’s a Republican???”
“Because, you damn fool, if he were a Democrat, he’d be screwing somebody!”
Joke — A drunken, totally naked, woman jumped into a taxi near Brighton Pier.
The Indian driver shook his head, opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman.
He made no attempt to start the cab.
“What are you staring at, Luv, haven’t you ever seen a woman with no clothes on before?”
“I’ll not be staring at you lady, I am telling you, that would not be proper, where I am coming from…”
“Well, if you’re not bloody staring at me Luvie, what are you doing then?”
“Well, I am looking and looking, and I am thinking and thinking to myself, where is this lady keeping the money to be paying me?!”
