GRNC

That has to be the funniest kitchen blunder I have every heard about. Thanks for the laugh.

Better than the one my mom often tells about my dad attempting to make lasagna early in their marriage? He saw “evaporated milk” in the recipe and decided the “sweetened condensed milk” they had on hand would be an appropriate substitute.

OMG!!! Essentially, caramel in traditional lasagne?! Ughh...

That said, I am developing a dessert recipe as I type. Will let y'all know how it turns out in another thread.

I agree with @Chdamn and several similar posts, but what has not been said here is a rough enumeration of some of the pretty amazing accomplishments that we all enjoy every day that came only through the efforts of GRNC. Carry in state parks, restaurants that serve alcohol, school car pool lines and storage in cars while on campus. Castle Doctrine. Reform and standardization of the PPP system (while still working to repeal), and exemption from the PPP for CHP holders. In 2011, 2013, and 2015 we had incredible bills and that revolutionized carry in NC. I think the reason we've gone from about 150,000 CHP's statewide in 2010 to about 900,000 today is because NC has become so much more carry friendly. I volunteered with them and spent time in the NC Legislature with them to help get bills passed.

Starting around 2017, though, they seemed to lose their way. They put all the chips on the table with a constitutional carry bill, 18 years old, no training requirement. They could have gone for campus carry, or arming teachers, or something that was more attainable. I trusted they had some insider information that told them it was possible, and they did come pretty close. Then there was the RINO and those angry outbursts.

I still support them financially, even if I cringe at their tactics. In nine months, if the Dem's flip five seats in the NC House and five in the NC Senate, and Cooper wins re-election, then it's going to be just like Virginia. And we need a strong organization to help prevent it, and if it happens, to fight it.

WE the people, the voters ,have that power.

No army can be victorious without leadership. A bunch of soldiers running around on the battlefield each doing their own thing is just a mob about to die.

True, but it’s not likely to happen. What we’re going to get is what’s being called 4.5 generation warfare. Resistance cells causing pockets of disruption and mayhem. It’s not going to be an organized army against the State.

Think of the scene from Star Trek TNG episode The Best Of Both Worlds part 1. They beamed over to the Borg cube and the Borg ignored them. The Borg were too powerful to confront directly and take down, but as Crusher put it, “think of it from the mosquito’s perspective. If we sting them, they might stop to scratch”.

Edit to add:

Indeed, but many lack the will to use it or are deluded with the belief in “authority”.

Um, I meant organizing to push back against new gun control. It was a metaphor. ˈme-tə-ˌfȯr : a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money)

I really wasn’t planning on shooting anybody.

Gotta say. Feel like Forrest in this thread. Stepping out.
