March 14, 2023 Lunch  - Salmon Sashimi with Sushi flavored Quinoa  Dinner - Beef Stroganoff with Steamed Broccoli and Egg Noodles

I watched news until 8:00 then worked until 9:00, when I prepared a shrimp omelet for breakfast with 2 oz. each of chopped red onion and tomato, three peeled BBQ’d shrimp, about 1/2 cup of the rice from the BBQ’d shrimp and two eggs whisked with about 1/4 cup of the BBQ shrimp sauce.

The ingredients did not set well and collapsed on themselves when I tried to flip them, but the result was delicious and very wet.

I drank a glass of water with the shrimp omelet.

A few minutes after I finished eating Andrew from Physical Therapy arrived.

Today we walked to the corner of 16th St. and did several helpful exercises in the bed.

When Andrew left at 11:30 I went back to work and reactivated two corporations and redivided and filed a pleading.

I also wished Marty Meltzer a Happy Birthday and sent him a copy of the Cory Griffin NM Supreme Court insurrection decision, which is a gift that only a lawyer could love.

I was hungry by 3:00 and started to make a salami sandwich when I saw the salmon in the meat crisper and realized I had intended to eat sashimi for lunch. There was no PPI rice but there was a small container of PPI Quinoa, so I added rice vinegar and mirin ton give the quinoa a strong sushi flavor and ate that with a small pile of slices of raw salmon and pickled ginger with a soy and wasabi dipping sauce and a cup of hot green tea.

It was almost 4:00 when I finished lunch, so I decided to watch Ari Melber and then go to Trader Joe’s. Ari was fascinating today because he had as a guest Donald Trump’s attorney for the NYC case involving the payment of $130,000 to Stormy Daniels.

It was a volatile and interesting interview of the kind that only Ari as a seasoned lawyer could conduct. I loved the give and take of two attorneys arguing the merits and defenses of their case.

Suzette arrived during the show and said, “We will go tomorrow to Trader Joe’s.” So I minced two cloves of garlic and diced 1/2 of a poblano chili, and sliced six mushrooms for dinner then read my book for an hour from 5:00 until 6:00.

Beef Stroganoff

Dinner was ready at 6:00. Suzette boiled the two rib bones to make a beef broth.  Then she boiled narrow egg noodles and cubed the PPI steak and diced some red onion and sautéed the poblano chili, red onion, and garlic in butter and olive oil. Then she added the mushrooms and the beef and beef broth and seasoned the dish with Spanish smoked paprika and mushroom salt and white pepper and then added several spoonfuls of sour cream to complete the sauce.  Finally she tossed the cooked and drained egg noodles in the sauce to complete the dish.

We drank 2011 Origen Spanish red wine, a 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah blend, with the meal and with a Carr’s water biscuit with Leyden style firm cheese and a toasted slice of baguette with brie cheese after dinner.

We went to bed at 9:00 after Lawrence O’Donnell’s last word. The last word was Kevin McCarthy’s speech on Jan 13, 2021, in which he blamed Donald Trump for the insurrection, I guess to humiliate McCarthy by showing how he has completely yielded his honest indignation to the demands of Trump and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party to gain the Speakership of Congress.

The tone of commenters has become more strident lately, which tells me accountably for Trump and the MAGA members of Congress may be coming. I see the removal of those who supported the Insurrection pursuant to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment as the best and quickest way to clean (resurrect normal order in the House of Representatives) the House.

The disbarment and censure of the 17 attorneys who supported the Insurrection by lying about the 2020 election has begun.

As Lincoln said, “A house divided can not stand.”

Thank God Biden and his administration are doing a good job of running the country.  Yesterday he averted a nationwide bank runny by insuring all bank deposits and today he stiffened background checks on firearms by executive order.
