What Shall We Make Today?

Food 1 Minute

I found this recipe for Bunny Tail Candies on the Hungry Happenings website that looks adorable!  It takes a little bit of prep work but basically, they are easy to make and look so dang cute! 

As you can see from the above photo, you can make these using vanilla chips or peanut butter chips (and I suspect chocolate would also work just as easily.)

Ingredients

12 ounces peanut butter candy melts (or vanilla or chocolate)

100 pink heart sprinkles

300 pink sugar pearls

50 miniature marshmallows

50 pretzel rings or mini pretzel twists

Instructions

Pour candy melts into a microwave safe bowl.

Heat on high power for 15-30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Paint a ⅜-1/2 inch oval onto the paper and immediately press one pink heart into the center and three pink sugar pearls around the heart for the toes.

Repeat creating 100 bunny paws.

Pop the candy into the freezer for a few minutes until the candy hardens.

Roll the marshmallows in the palm of your hand until they are round.

Set the pretzel rings on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Re-heat the peanut butter candy melts for 15 seconds, then pour it into a squeeze bottle.

Pipe peanut butter candy into the center of a pretzel ring.

Immediately attach a marshmallow tail and two candy bunny feet.

Repeat.

Freeze for 5-10 minutes until the candy is hardened.

Peel off the parchment paper and they are ready to serve.

  1. Morning All!

    I had to clean the ashes out of the wood stove this morning and when i took them out on the deck to the ash bucket, I saw hubby’s wash bucket laying on its side on the chair and his green and yellow scrubbie on the deck near the door–something had been chewing on it cuz little pieces were everywhere. then i saw the drip pan from the new grill laying on the deck too…raccoons are out and about apparently.

    We have to spray the rodent sheriff again–it’s been probably 9 months since we did that and it’s rained and snowed so it’s probably time to do it again!

    we’ve got 12* currently but looks like a clear sky dawning…

    1. Morning, Pat! I’ve got 31 on the thermometer and a light dusting of snow. More possible thru the week-end but I doubt we’ll get much here. They are predicting a low of 12 for Monday night so there are still cold days ahead. Most of the snow is supposed to stay north of me. I am soooo glad I don’t have to worry about raccoons….just the squirrels.

        they are a nuisance. with the snow still on the ramp we could clearly see the prints and the route it took. but that rodent sheriff stuff worked well last year–we will have to spray the grill legs and drip pan and see how well it really works…we do love to grill!

        1. I remember that it really worked. Anyone who enjoys good food loves to grill! Or should anyway….up until 5 or 6 years ago, I grilled almost every day in the summer months for my main meal. I’m giving my grill to my GS, if he wants it. Knowing him, he’ll probably just go out and buy a new one since mine clearly needs some attention after sitting for so long. And the auto-light quit working a long time ago. If/when I get my eating situation rectified, I will get myself a small, one-person grill since this one is huge.

              2. I’m not a big fan either and we really only did it after a Blue fishing trip – we both caught fish and had been told that if you remove the dark stripe down their sides, it lessens the wild flavor. So we wanted to see if that was true. If was just ok so we only did it once or twice.

    Interesting when Bidens’ own turn on him………

    <snip>
    WASHINGTON — The nomination of Adeel Mangi to fill a vacancy in the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals hit the skids Tuesday when Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., made it known that she will not support President Joe Biden’s pick.
    The Silver State’s senior senator told Bloomberg Government, “Mangi’s affiliation with the Alliance of Families for Justice is deeply concerning. This organization has sponsored a fellowship in the name of Kathy Boudin, a member of the domestic terrorist organization Weather Underground, and advocated for the release of individuals convicted of killing police officers. I cannot support this nominee.”
    Of course, the usual leftists saw “Islamophobia” as the culprit.
    “The Islamophobic Smear Campaign Divides Democrats,” read the headline for a piece by New York Times columnist Lydia Polgreen. The Huffington Post headline: “A Democrat Just Caved To the GOP’s Bogus Attacks on Biden’s Muslim Court Pick.”

  16. MTG files to disbar Willis

    FTA

    Georgia law permits anyone to file a grievance against a licensed lawyer. Proceedings are confidential, so any decision by the Georgia State Bar to investigate or to drop Greene’s complaint wouldn’t be made public. The state’s supreme court has the final say over public discipline of attorneys.

    Suspensions and disbarment are issued in only the most serious cases and a public reprimand or no discipline at all are also possible outcomes.

    Our Take: “Let’s talk about Google’s story arc. The company made its name, its brand equity, on accurate search results. I remember navigating away from Yahoo! and conducting my searches on Google in the early 2000s, because the results were so much better.

    Accurate search results became a distinctive feature of the Google brand, and the company’s growth over the next decades is so profound that their name became a verb. All built on trust derived from a superior product and user experience. ‘Just google it and you’ll find the right answers. Just google it and you can know what is true.’

    By 2015, it became clear that the company was abusing that trust and manipulating search results — and by President Trump’s inauguration day that was indisputable. The traditional capitalist response to such discoveries is, ‘companies won’t jeopardize their brands that way — the markets would destroy them!’ I was raised on that idea, and the arc of Google was a big part of my awakening.

    When I realized that companies were willing to jeopardize their brand promises and compromise their product stacks — the manipulation and biases are in the code — for ideological reasons, I began to realize that fourth industrial revolution is running on a different set of rules.

    Now, we have Marxism coded into Google’s AI, Gemini, because of course we do. It’s the logical conclusion.” — Ashe in America

    1. my DIL’s job is to make companies the TOP result on google searches–for products and such. and she’s getting paid a lot to do so and has been promoted several times in the last few years she worked there–so she gets results.
      so they are all manipulated

  23. “Friday Funnies: It’s a Bloodbath and a border, you know…”

    ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS, MAR 22, 2024

    “The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they should not interfere with God’s divine will.

    At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistry and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.

    The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.

    The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.

    But the Catholic church came up with a more creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

    Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.” — -Anonymous

  33. “WORLD WAR III INTENSIFIES: Kremlin Formally Acknowledges “State of War” Against “Collective West” in Ukraine”

    POLITICAL MOONSHINE, MAR 22, 2024

    EXCERPT: “In December 2020, the analysis identified a critical data point when the incoming Biden Administration made a significant foreign policy change to move away from the outgoing Trump Administration’s appropriate hyper-focus on China as our primary military, economic and political adversary and back to the Intelligence Community’s favorite NATO “boogeyman” Russia. That data point was captured and used to formulate an entire catalog of hundreds of items of further war analysis that clearly evidences a demonstrable and incremental march towards a thermonuclear World War III in three primary theaters: Ukraine [Russia], Taiwan/South China Sea [China] and the Middle East [Syria/Iran/Iraq, et al.]. The dog whistle at the front of that march is a Chinese proxy in Joe Biden.

    By 06 May 20 and only 54 days into a declared “pandemic,” which was actually China’s first strike, the analysis positioned the US as being in the midst of an asymmetrical, irregular and undeclared war with China that was in complete alignment with Chinese hegemonic and military doctrine; especially its primary doctrinal warfare vector of biowarfare.

    This was at a time of rampant masking and lock-downs and then widespread rioting, looting and burning, but before the deadly mRNA bioweapons were deployed. Folks should think very long and hard about why China’s military didn’t receive the mRNA injections but ours did.

    Or they can just wait to see how that dynamic plays-out for real in what’s described in the following [and hundreds of other pieces of analysis].

    By the beginning of year two of Biden’s first term, the projected Russia [Ukraine] theater went kinetic as a US/NATO/West/Intelligence Community proxy war against Russia and her national sovereignty, which was being further encroached upon by an ever expanding NATO in a decades-long effort.

    By year three of Biden’s first term, the projected Middle East theater went kinetic as the Intelligence Community stirred up Hamas relative to Israel.

    It’s important to remember that Hamas is a front for Iran, which is also conducting operations that target Western forces in the Red Sea by means of its Houthi rebel proxies [and in myriad other ways]….”

    “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful,” she said in a video released by Kensington Palace.

    She revealed that she took the time to tell her three children Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8) and Prince Louis (5) before telling the public.

    Middleton underwent major abdominal surgery in January. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” she said in the video. “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

  44. Mexico files amicus brief against SB4 law inTexas–claiming they have the right to govern their own citizens–then take them BACK to Mexico! foreign nations have NO RIGHT to GOVERN in OUR COUNTRY!

    FTA

    “Mexico is deeply concerned that SB 4 will be applied in a discriminatory manner and fears that its enforcement will lead to improper harassment, detention, removal and criminalization of Mexican citizens and individuals of Latino appearance,” the brief reads.

    Mexico filed the amicus brief, or “friend of the court” brief, on Thursday with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the plaintiff in the case, which includes the Biden administration. Amicus briefs are typically filed by parties outside of a case in an effort to show the court how individuals outside of the case will be impacted by its final decision.

    The brief also highlights how SB 4 would affect Mexico’s ability to govern its own people.

    “Enforcement of SB 4 would also interfere with Mexico’s right to determine its own policies regarding entry into its territory, undermine U.S.-Mexico collaboration on a legal migration framework and border management, and hinder U.S.-Mexico trade,” the brief reads.

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed SB 4 into law in December and the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas initially blocked it. The law was allowed to go into effect for a short time on Tuesday until the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals discontinued its previous stay, temporarily blocking the law from retaking effect after much back and forth.

    The law would allow police in Texas to arrest anyone suspected of crossing the border illegally, something Mexico says is causing fear and anxiety among communities that would be targeted.

    “The possibility that thousands of Mexican nationals authorized to study, work, and reside in Texas are now under threat of detention, removal, and criminalization — and the related separation from their families — upon any interaction with a Texas law enforcement official has engendered unprecedented levels of anxiety in the Mexican community,” the brief reads.

    Mexico has 11 consulates in Texas whose job is to help Mexican citizens living in or traveling to the U.S. obtain documents such as passports and birth certificates and advise them on legal issues and U.S. laws. Mexico says consular officials have recently been reporting “fear, panic and uncertainty” among Mexican nationals due to SB 4.

    Mexico also expressed concern about Texas attempting to enforce its own extreme immigration laws that usurp the Biden administration’s stance. Abbott has long been at odds with the administration on the issue.

    “…foreign nations must be able to confer with ‘one national sovereign, not the 50 separate States,’ regarding the safety and security of their nationals,” the brief reads. “SB 4 wholly eviscerates this one-voice principle by requiring Mexico to engage with not only the U.S. government, but also several levels of state and local law enforcement in Texas to address individual apprehensions, detentions, and removals pursuant to SB 4.”
