New Day Red Pepper Frittata

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Cheerful Choices: New Day Red Pepper Frittata! When you need breakfast for more than one, think frittata. Omelets serve one, frittatas serve two or more. Nowadays the courteous thing to do is omit the crust in case someone needs a low-carb gluten-free option. You can always serve the frittata with a crusty artisan piece of buttered toast for those who like bread with their meal. Using light cream will result in more of a creamy egg custard, but can certainly be omitted. Because I had already packed my iron skillet, I had to make due with a baking dish. Baking the frittata in an iron skillet gives the edges a “fried” appearance, which always gets the mouth drooling.

NEW DAY RED PEPPER FRITTATA

Ingredients:

8 large eggs

1/4 cup light cream

1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/3 cup fresh basil, minced

Wise Words

Filosofa's Word

When I read on Sunday that Putin had put Russia’s nuclear forces “on alert”, I was aghast and furious. I shouldn’t have been surprised, though, for Putin is a ‘man’ without a conscience, one who will do “whatever it takes” to expand his empire, even if it means the destruction of millions of lives. The best, most realistic and logical of the many editorials I have read on this topic comes from Joel Mathis of The Week, and I would like to share it with you.


Putin just dramatically raised the stakes. What should the U.S. do?

Escalating is easy. Prudence is difficult.

Joel Mathis, February 28, 2022

Once the cycle of escalation starts, it’s hard to stop.

So it’s both alarming and unsurprising that Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Sunday put his country’s nuclear forces on alert, pushing back against the flood of sanctions and angry rhetoric…

Light Comes After Dark

Grounds For Hope

Five nights of terror
Rockets and bombs
Five nights in a bunker
Stillness and calm. 
A mother holds a child, hope in her eyes
Hides away her fear behind a smile
Rock-a-bye baby, sleep through the night
Hush, oh sweet baby, light comes after dark
Five days of gun shelling 
Shattered lives like a glass
The world witnesses a foretelling
Look at the new holocaust!
A mother holds a child as he sweetly sleeps
No one hears that her soul screams
Rock-a-bye baby, sleep through the night
Hush, oh sweet baby, light comes after dark.

Opinion | Russia Is a Potemkin Superpower – The New York Times

Putin isn’t the first brutal dictator to make himself an international pariah. As far as I can tell, however, he’s the first to do so while presiding over an economy deeply dependent on international commerce — and with a political elite accustomed, more or less literally, to treating Western democracies as their playground.

For Putin’s Russia isn’t a hermetic tyranny like North Korea or, for that matter, the old Soviet Union. Its standard of living is sustained by large imports of manufactured goods, mostly paid for via exports of oil and natural gas.

This leaves Russia’s economy highly vulnerable to sanctions that might disrupt this trade, a reality reflected in Monday’s sharp plunge in the value of the ruble despite a huge increase in domestic interest rates and draconian attempts to limit capital flight.

Before the invasion it was common to talk about how Putin had created “fortress Russia,” an economy immune to economic sanctions, by accumulating a huge war chest of foreign currency reserves. Now, however, such talk seems naïve. What, after all, are foreign reserves? They aren’t bags of cash. For the most part they consist of deposits in overseas banks and holdings of other governments’ debt — that is, assets that can be frozen if most of the world is united in revulsion against a rogue government’s military aggression.
