What Shall We Bake Today?

Food 1 Minute

These Carrot Cake Muffins sound yummy!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F  and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

In another bowl, beat the egg with the brown sugar and oil until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

Fold in the grated carrots, walnuts, and raisins (if using).

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!

    NYT is reporting that Tracee Mergen, a supervisor in the FBI Minnesota Field office, quit over DOJ orders to drop her civil rights inquiry into the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good.

    But a big part of Mergen’s resume was omitted in the article: her deep involvement in the prosecution of Tom Barrack, chair of President Trump’s first inaugural committee and a longtime associate. Barrack’s case represented yet another politically-motivated and retaliatory use of the Biden DOJ against the president and his allies.

    Mergen at the time was at the notoriously corrupt New York FBI field office. She was a lead agent in the investigation into Barrack for FARA, conspiracy, and other offenses. He was indicted by the Biden DOJ in 2021. (Press release is another reminder of the brazenly political Biden DOJ and the press had absolutely no qualms about it back then.)

    Not only did Mergen testify to the grand jury in the Barrack matter, she also testified as a government witness at trial. Barrack’s lawyers, however, accused Mergen of making false statements to the grand jury and tried unsuccessfully to obtain all transcripts of her GJ testimony.

    Barrack was acquitted on all charges.

    Looks like Bondi, Blanche, and Patel smoked out another bad actor.Image
    Judge Brian Cogan (GWB) denied Barrack’s request in this order–not exactly convincing evidence that Mergen had been straight up with the grand jury.

    Regardless, Barrack beat the case, which is highly unusual especially in New York. He is now the US ambassador to Turkey and the president’s special envoy to Syria.

    Sorry, Tracee.
