Made my “Mex-O Ball Soup” for #CincoDeMayo. Described it to a friend earlier as “what would happen if #chickentortillasoup & #matzoballsoup had a wild love affair.” Just perfectly spicy. #happycincodemayo 😀🥣 Image
Getting requests for the recipe. Warning: it’s a process that takes a few days. Yes, days. There isn’t a formal recipe because I make bits of it as I go along & it’s slightly different every time but always good...and pretty good for you. Lots of good nutrients in broth.
1) Get some chicken. Maybe you roast one for dinner. Maybe you buy a rotisserie chicken. (This broth was made from @Publix rotisserie chickens) Either way, get a chicken, eat it, & save all the bones & bits of carcass.
2) Get some veggies. Whatever you want. I usually throw in onions & garlic at least. Celery, herbs, carrots, whatever. I keep ziploc bags in my freezer to collect chicken & veggie scraps to turn into soup later.
3) Get a large crock pot. Throw in the chicken carcass, veggies, a capful or so of apple cider vinegar. Whatever herbs you want for seasoning. I usually toss in whole peppercorns, bay leaves etc. Pour in cold filtered water, add cover, turn on low & leave it for a day or two.
4) Letting it simmer so long makes a very rich hearty broth full of nutrients & flavor. It’s going to spoil that watery store-bought crap for you. When it’s done, it will be as dark as Coca-Cola. To finish, turn off & let cool a bit.
5) Pour into a large pot & cover. Put in fridge. When cool, skim the fat off the top. Ok! Now you have awesome broth. Great for many soup bases.
6) Make matzo balls. I have a friend’s family recipe & I don’t know if it’s ok to share it publicly (especially since I’m definitely not keeping kosher w/my recipes) but seriously, there are decent instructions on the box.
7) While the matzo balls are going, make salsa. Again, I don’t have a precise recipe here but it’s generally chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeños, tomatillos (if I can find decent ones), cilantro, fresh squeezed lime juice, freshly ground salt & pepper.
7)a) FYI this salsa is the same base I use for guacamole. If you’re a recipe planner, maybe roast a chicken for Monday, start the broth that night, make a giant batch of salsa & guacamole for chicken tacos Tuesday, and then soup for Wednesday.
8) OK! Back to the soup. You need more chicken. You could bake some. Another option is to cook it in the soup broth. Google that, it’s easy. Or just grab another @Publix rotisserie chicken (what I did for this). Tear chicken into bite size chunks.
9) Pour broth into large soup pot. Bring to a boil & then turn down heat to maintain a low boil. Add the salsa. Let simmer a few minutes. Add the chicken & matzo balls (careful not to splash! I get a large spoon & lower them in).
10) Serve immediately. Top w/avocado, fresh cilantro, crushed tortilla chips, whatever you want. Enjoy! This soup freezes well too.
5)a) should say pour through a strainer into the pot. You’ll need to get all the bones & stuff out of the broth.

oh ffs my governor lies so much about Disney even I can’t keep up. I’m noticing he’s claiming he “saved” taxpayers money & he’s gloating about those who predicted taxes would go up. He’s being deliberately misleading. There were TWO BILLS. /1
The first bill in 2021 repealed the Reedy Creek Improvement District outright. RCID had over $1 billion in municipal bond debt. Destroying the district would’ve dumped that debt on the taxpayers of Orange & Osceola County. /2 mediaite.com/opinion/conser…
Image
There were a pile of complicated legal obstacles too in the Florida Statutes & the original charter that created RCID. Long story short: municipal bond debt gets good credit rating from its stability & there are legal barriers to f***ing with it. /3 lawandcrime.com/high-profile/f…

Same people who scream that the Supreme Court needs to step in and rescue Trump from all the legal messes he’s gotten himself into are acting like Disney doesn’t have the resources or ability to appeal today’s ruling. I stand by what I’ve written & said on this matter. /1
It IS an egregious violation of 1A rights for the government to revoke the rights of just one landowner to vote for their special taxing district board because they criticized a bill. This is a dangerous precedent to set & I don’t want gov’t weaponized this way against anyone. /2
And what DeSantis’ puppet board is doing at Disney isn’t winning culture wars, it’s making the parks less safe. They literally voted to defund the police, eliminating the entire $8 million budget used to hire off duty @OrangeCoSheriff deputies. /3 mediaite.com/opinion/desant…

I am having trouble finding the words to articulate how utterly depraved this is. Ladapo is a quack. He should not be our surgeon general. He should not have a tenured job at the UF College of Medicine. He probably shouldn’t have a medical license. /1
Ladapo is wildly misleading in talking about DNA. Your DNA doesn’t change when exposed to other DNA. You don’t mutate every time you have sex with someone or turn into a mosquito if one bites you. The risk he’s warning about doesn’t exist at all! Can’t happen. /2
The lies Ladapo tells get people killed by scaring them away from a safe vaccine that’s been given billions of times. Every possible post-vaccine complication is a lower risk than that same harm from covid. Ladapo ALTERED data to LIE about risks. /3 cnn.com/2023/04/25/hea…

my latest op-ed on #DisneyVsDeSantis …

Disney Firefighters Who Backed DeSantis’ Takeover of Tax District Shocked and Upset When Board Moves to End Their Park Passes mediaite.com/opinion/disney…
ICYMI, last month, DeSantis' puppet board was moving to eliminate the $8 million budget for off-duty cops to provide security on Disney property. This is just catastrophically dumb; that visible police presence is a deterrent to criminals & terrorists. /2 mediaite.com/opinion/desant…
It's important to note the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) was Disney paying EXTRA taxes so it could provide its own high level of infrastructure & services. It still paid county taxes even though it wasn't asking the counties to provide water, utilities, roads etc. /3

“Highest enrollment ever” comes from recruiting a pile of new student athletes w/substandard test scores even though this tiny college has nearly zero athletic facilities. They kicked existing students out of the dorms, sent them to off campus hotel to make room for the athletes.
DeSantis is bragging about cancelling an entire degree program, & his appointed board cancelled programs & other classes just weeks before the semester started. Students are worried they can’t finish their major, thesis, many professors have left so they lost their advisers etc.
Just imagine how horrible & stressful that would be, to be heading back to college & your governor’s appointees have cancelled several of your classes, kicked you out of the dorm, & your adviser is gone. How are you supposed to finish your degree?

DeSantis is now attacking Disney as “a multibillion dollar company that sexualizes children” — a scurrilous lie.

Pay attention, businesses: if you oppose DeSantis in the tiniest way, he’ll smear you as a pervert & child abuser. He’s declared war on the core of our state economy.
These are the words & actions of a man who knows he’s term-limited & won’t have to deal w/any consequences of his unconstitutional & illegal attacks on one of our state’s largest employers. He’s putting our entire state economy at risk. /2 mediaite.com/opinion/conser…
We have no state income tax. Property taxes are kept artificially low thru 1,800+ special taxing districts like at Disney where landowners consent to pay more. Tourists contribute to sales & gas taxes, & pay a tax on every hotel night stay. Whole system fails without tourists. /3
