made a pot of pea and ham soup this arvo, and tonight decided to repurpose some leftovers.
Had 2 chicken fillets in the fridge left over that I didn't cook Sunday, some leftover mushroom sauce I cooked last night and half a jar of cream.
So I sliced the chicken fillets across the grain into 2cm thick medallions and fried them in some butter and olive oil.
reheat the mushies to go on top.
Slice a few spuds to make scalloped potatoes with a bit of olive oil and butter in the microwave, bit of garlic and herb salt and the remaining cream, toss and let settle.
Dinner served. Yum.

Did roast stuffed chicken roll, with sweet potatoes and steamed veg for the fambly tonight.
sharknado just looked at it and said yuck. Wouldn't eat a bite. So I took a photo of him and his dinner and messaged his mum, saying I tried.
She asked me to send it home to her, she'd make sure he ate it. Dunno if that will work, but I did it. Put it in a container and his dad delivered it to her.
Also did a brisket in the slow cooker for mum. I'm heading up to Toc tomorrow and she won't use the gas when I'm not here. Just not comfortable.
Put some onions, celery, carrot, garlic under the meat after browning it, cooked it for 7 hours with 500ml of beef stock. Meat came out beautiful. Put the stick blender into the vegetables and juice and made a sauce from it. Yum.

In contrast, when socialism first came to the United States, it came in the form of government handouts to Wall Street. "It's not real socialism," said the American capitalists. "Wall Street is too big to fail."Jezza wrote:It's "NOT real socialism, it's state capitalism" says every socialist.stui magpie wrote:Socialism at work.
And the Wall Street suits had champagne and caviar for dinner.

If the corporations go bankrupt, necessarily their employees need to look elsewhere for a job. If taxpayers' money is pumped into them, no strings attached, they can keep doing whatever they were doing previously, including the payment of exorbitant salaries and bonuses. I am not aware of any salary cuts in the sector.
From memory, it was reported that the direct contribution to Wall Street from the US government was over $4 trillion, most of which was not repaid. Peer-reviewed work by economists (at Princeton, perhaps?) put the total contribution to Wall Street from the taxpayers at over $20 trillion. Let's see if I can even type that many zeros: > $20 000 000 000 000.
If only the VFL had pumped money into the Collingwood Football Club when Ranald et al. were on the verge of bankrupting the club. Then the players would not have had a 20% salary cut forced upon them, the General Manager would not have had to be sacked, and Ranald et al. could have continued just throwing money away on ridiculous transfer fees.

Assuming there really is an official position called the "Special Inspector General for TARP" and there really is some sort of document called the "Special Inspector General for TARP summary", I'd be rather surprised if some journo just made up something about its contents. There is also that aforementioned economics paper or papers (which I'm pretty sure has no connection to Mr. Collins) to contend with.
Hey, you three guys who started this dinner-table conversation, can you find these papers and documents for us?!?
Whatever the money thrown at them, giving it without asking for anything in return (regulation, some heads to roll, for starters) seems nonsensical.
Meanwhile, can someone pass me the gravy?
