The one above is the serious matter DoJ is pursuing. The campaign of weaponizing the Department to go after the people who weaponized it last time. This time it is JIm Comey who is going to have to dig in for some spare legal change, since he sent the image above as an Instagram post. The message is clear, right? Comey should do some time for mis-spelling the color of the shells.

Or he should face justice because the digits “8” & “6” taken together is a restaurant term for removing something from the menu. Therefore, it could be an opportunity for Deirdre to show off something she has been working on in The Galley.

We were laughing about it last night in the Bravo Watch Section meeting. Which meant they were going to snooze through the evening since the remarkable running of the Kentucky Derby yesterday evening.

it is still unreal enough to justify calling the longest-running sporting event in American history the most exciting two minutes in sports. if you have not seen it, it is worth the minute it will take to find the video of three-year old Golden Tempo’s historic performance. The astonishing outside sprint to win by a nose for the Roses is one of the most extraordinary two minutes ever seen.

Which brings us to the serious stuff. The messaging from the Gulf is what is churning the luncheon conversation. There are reports that small boats swarmed a big boat- type unreported. This is not unexpected, though the US reaction is uncertain. one useul thing in the bellicose rhetoric from Iran is that our opponents actually do believe they are winning. They will start to recognize reality this week.

Three out of five at the Conference Table waved their hands in general agreement and then smiled at what was likely to happen about food.

These are dynamite Breakfast, lunch and dinner treats depending on whether you pair them with eggs, or heaped on fresh sourdough for sandwich, or paired with a decent salad and a side.

Like her strategy of padding the operating costs for the Creative Section with a monthly budget line for “representational expenses,” she has been getting two medium Standing Rib Roasts from Wyoming Pure Butchers out in Wheatland, WYO. Their product and service are outstanding and the only significant item in the recipe is the roast!

That keeps the watch standers in decent Buffalo Beef-on-Weck sandwiches in two beef waves evey other week.across the month. What she has been thinking about is what should go between the standing ribs in the cooking rotation. you know she loves seafood, and that is why you get a recipe and a logistics tip to make it feel like you are down at the shore.

The Navy folks in the crowd always had a favorite fish-monger where they lived, but the Potomac shore north of the orchard at Farmer Tyson’s Corner is fallow for fishing. This is not a commercial and no goods or cash payments are involved in our coverage.

We have had decent luck with Linton’s Seafood in terms of quality and delivery. Shipping is free for orders of $250 or more, so their three-pound crab deal plus a tub of crab soup would get you set up for at least a week’s worth of fancy sandwiches on nice croissants.
