  2 1/2 to 3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or bone-in breasts, skin on) 1 1/2 cups original Bisquick baking mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (or to taste), plus extra for sprinkling Directions Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and set a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack so the chicken won’t stick. Pat the chicken pieces very dry with paper towels. This helps the coating cling and crisp up instead of steaming. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, stir the Bisquick and black pepper together until the pepper is evenly speckled throughout the mix. Working one piece at a time, roll the chicken in the seasoned Bisquick, pressing the mixture onto the skin so it forms a good, even coating. Shake off any loose excess and place the coated chicken pieces skin-side up on the greased wire rack. Drizzle the melted butter slowly and evenly over the tops of the chicken pieces, ...

 SUNDAY:   Church was very good this morning.   A bunch of us went out to lunch.  When I asked where they wanted to go, Carol said "you are the leader of the pack", so I should decide.  I suggested APPLEBEEs, so that is where we went.  It turned out to be eight of us.  Me, Glenda, Carol, Marlene, Andrea, Peggy, Michelle McKenica.  Most of us had the $9.99 special either a burger or chicken sandwich with endless drink and endless fries.  The restaurant was VERY busy, but our server was very friendly and efficient.   After lunch I decided to go to Niagara Produce for milk and bananas.  They did not have the milk I like but I purchased a few items.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I finished reading THE GOLDEN CHILD.  I skipped taking a nap, I just did not feel all that tired, even though we moved the clocks ahead one hour last night.   MONDAY the 9th:  First thing, I went over to Pegg...

Isn't he in the Epstein files? Well, we have now read 1.39 million DOJ documents in the Epstein case. Every one. We have built investigation dossiers on eight people: Bill Gates (2,265 documents), Woody Allen (2,613), Reid Hoffman (1,976), Bill Clinton (1,586), Larry Summers (739), Leon Black (667), Elon Musk (55), and Donald Trump. For Donald Trump, across the entire corpus, we found 40 documents. Not 40 damning documents. 40 documents total -- every sworn deposition, every FBI interview, every civil complaint, every flight log entry, every media reference of any kind linking Trump to Epstein in the largest document production in DOJ history. As with Elon, the number is the stor...

 Herkimer                 One of Central New York's most unique restaurants...the Beardslee Castle is a limestone castle built around 1860, where you dine inside thick stone walls in the heart of the Mohawk Valley. Located in Little Falls, here you     step into a warm, historic setting filled with soft lighting, stone arches, and quiet elegance. The main dining     room feels intimate and refined, serving fresh, well-prepared dishes paired with a strong wine list that     includes hard-to-find bottles.

Throughout     the year, Murder Mystery Dinners bring live actors, shared clues, and family-style meals. After eating, you     can walk the grounds and gardens, end...

  from altasworldnews TRUMP, IRAN, AND THE STRATEGY MOST AMERICANS NEVER HEARD Most Americans were told U.S. pressure on Iran was about nuclear weapons. But there was a deeper strategic reality. Energy. China imports over 10 million barrels of oil every day. Much of it comes from the Middle East — including Iran. And nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply moves through a single narrow choke point: The Strait of Hormuz. Now consider what U.S. power in that region means. Venezuelan supply — controlled. Iranian supply — controlled. Middle Eastern flow — monitored and controlled. By overwhelming United States military and naval power. This is pressure without direct war. When a rival’s energy lifelines fall under strategic leverage… its industrial power weakens. Factories feel it. Industry feels it. AI infrastructure feels it. This is why Trump-era Iran policy had global implications far beyond the Middle East. For Americans concerned about national strength, global leadership, and...
