In the case of Ohio and Wisconsin, the officials requesting the "no match" lists were Republican.

I'll be curious to see what the turnout is in Wisconsin. Madison has a huge Hmong population and I don't know how many of them have registered previously to this, but I can see this raising nasty complications for the ones who aren't. Many of the older ones I worked with were already registered. They definitely were gung ho about having the right to vote, let me tell you. I'm not so sure about second generation.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Now that we decided on the soup, are there any good recipe recommendation for the leek potato soup, preferably ones who use cream that Yours Truly now tries to add to Everything She Eats?

Shir, take half an onion, 2 chopped leeks (thoroughly washed and chopped) and saute them in the bottom of the pot with a half a stick of butter until they are soft. Add @32 oz of chicken stock (or vegetable stock) to the pot. Add a dash of kosher sea salt.

Chop up about 4-5 medium, peeled potatoes and add to the pot. Cook them until they are soft and mushy. You can either take a stick blender and blend it smooth or keep the larger potatoe chunks.

Turn down the heat and add a cup of cream (or milk or half & half).

Top off the soup with some chives and shredded cheese.

Enjoy!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I want to make leek and potato soup!

Thanks, Cash!

How much is half a stick of butter?

1/4 cup or about 2 oz.

The kids got into my lipstick this morning.

Thanks.

And your kids are adorable. And I think they can apply lipstick better than me. I never understood how to do it right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does butter not come in sticks where you are?

It'd be cool if butter came in some weird platonic solid, like a dodecahedron. Or maybe as a sphere or cone....

Congrats bon bon!

Why is trick or treating so early in some places?

So the demented predators don't have time to put the razor blades in the apples?

I sometimes buy butter in bulk at the dairy so it's just a big block. But I keep sticks for baking and cooking for easy measure.
