What Shall We Bake Today?

Food 1 Minute

Even though St. Patty’s Day has passed, I found this cookie recipe in a nice pastel color.  How about green Pistachio Cookies?

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 to 3 drops green food coloring

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 package (3.4 ounces) instant pistachio pudding mix

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped pistachios or pecans

1/2 cup green colored sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the butter, oil and confectioners’ sugar until blended (mixture will clump together). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extract and food coloring.

Combine the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in nuts. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375°.

Shape into 1-in. balls; roll in colored sugar. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until cookies are set. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

ENJOY!

          2. “The Maine Coon is a large domesticated cat breed that originated in the U.S. state of Maine, where it is the official state cat.  While its exact lineage is surrounded by myths, scientific evidence and breeders agree that the breed emerged from the interbreeding of local shorthaired domestic cats and long-haired breeds brought to New England by European sailors (possibly Angoras) or Viking settlers in the 1600–1700s. 

            • Myths vs. Science: Folklore suggests the breed is a hybrid of raccoons and cats, or descended from Queen Marie Antoinette’s Turkish Angoras or Viking ship cats; however, phylogenetic studies show they belong to the Western European monophyletic cat branch and are genetically closest to random-bred cat populations in the Northeastern US.
            • Convergent Evolution: The Maine Coon’s large size and thick coat are the result of natural selection in harsh climates, similar to the Siberian and Norwegian Forest Cats, rather than direct lineage from them. 
            • Historical Recognition: The breed was first mentioned in literature in 1861 and won “Best in Show” at the 1895 Madison Square Garden cat show, though it nearly went extinct in the early 20th century before a revival in the 1950s.”

      1. I’ve seen something similar out here – we’ve got a LOT of really flat land so you can see a long way – but nothing that dramatic.

  4. “WEEKLY WRAP: TOP 3 Stories of the Week”

    Libs of TikTok, Apr 03, 2026

    “As far-left radicals across the country continue having meltdowns over illegal alien criminals getting deported, others push violent rhetoric against Trump and his supporters. Among the chaos, Libs of TikTok was STILL able to pull off some major WINS! Check out these stories:

    1. REGISTERED CHILD SEX OFFENDER FIRED

    Norman Achin, a REGISTERED CHILD SEX OFFENDER employed by UCEDA International, an English study program in Virginia, was FIRED from his position after we exposed the company for potentially putting children in harm’s way.

    Image

    Before his termination, UCEDA International Vice President Richard Rylander mocked us in an email claiming that the program is “Adult-only” despite his OWN WEBSITE clearly stating that children CAN be admitted. After the story went viral, we learned that Achin was terminated from his job.

    2. CANADIAN SCHOOL OFFICIAL FIRED AFTER WISHING DEATH ON TRUMP

    Cathy DiFilippo-Kiley, an administrator at Huron-Superior Catholic Schools in Ontario, Canada, posted a video online fantasizing about Trump getting assassinated publicly and said she will be cheering for it.

    After our coverage of the video went viral, news broke that she was FIRED from her position at the school.

    3. DRAG QUEEN EVENT AT MAINE LIBRARY EXPOSED

    Just yesterday, we exposed Baxter Memorial Library in Maine, a taxpayer-funded library, for its plans to host an “ALL AGES” drag-queen storytime for CHILDREN. Letta Dicken, the featured drag queen, posts extreme, sex-themed content all over his social media pages. This is NOT appropriate for children.

    Image

    Despite the story going viral, the library has NOT released a public statement on the event. The event is scheduled to happen tomorrow, April 4th. Those with concerns can reach out to the library at 207-222-1190.

    Libs of TikTok will not stop in our mission to expose every radical leftist who seeks to harm children or protect criminal illegal aliens. With your support, we will do what the legacy media refuses to do: TELL THE TRUTH.

    Stay safe, Happy Easter, and God Bless!—LoTT Team
