Columnist fell into liberal trap on ACA
E.J. Dionne on the Dec. 4 Gazette editorial page, in making a point, said the following: Categories: Letters to the Editor, Opinion “But when Congress did truly big things in the past — the Affordable Care Act, the major tax cuts of the Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush eras, the tax increases under Bill Clinton and Barack Obama — there was serious discussion over an extended time.”Serious discussion over an extended time in reference to the Affordable Care Act? Are you really serious? How does one, with a straight face, claim this? Does “We need to pass it in order to know what’s in it” by Nancy Pelosi ring any bells? This was possibly the most financially affected bill to the public of the 21st century, yet it was passed not only without serious discussion, but with no discussion.E.J. Dionne is, deservedly, a well known and respected columnist. Yet even he apparently has been affected by the liberal disease of “Let not the truth be told, for liberalism trumps all,” especially when it trumps Trump, in spite of the truth and facts. Arthur C.

Coconut Drop Treats – A Jamaican Confection
MethodStep 1Pour the water into a medium-size thick bottom pot over high heat, bring to a boil, add the sugar. Stir and taste the water to know if it is sweet enough, after adjusting the taste, add the ginger, cover the pot cook the ginger in the sugar water for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add the coconut pieces. Stir then cover the pot to continue boiling the coconut drops.Step 2After 5 minutes, add the coconut pieces. Stir then cover the pot. After 15 minutes, keep the pot open. Cook the coconut until the liquid becomes thick and sticky while stirring every 2 minutes to prevent the coconut squares from sticking to the potStep 3This is the technical part that throws a lot of people off. The liquid should be sticky and reduced almost to nothing and the coconut pieces should be sticking to each other.The traditional way of cooling the coconut drops is on a banana leaf. However, I dislike that idea, because insects and lizards crawl on banana leaves. You can cool the drops on a cookie sheetStep 4Use a spoon to make different heaps on a cookie sheet. Allow to cool properly. Make sure to fill the pot with water immediately for easy washing.Sometimes because the focus is to get the caramelized sugar liquid to the right consistency, eventually it is dried out too much, so when the coconut drops are spooned into heaps the top of the drops, often loose because the caramelized liquid is what holds the coconut drops together. So, if that happens, just put 1/4 cup of water with 1 teaspoon sugar to boil until it becomes thick and sticky. Then drizzle the caramelized liquid over the top of the dropsYou can use shredded coconut (flakes) instead of the small coconut squares or cubes. Coconut drops are a popular Jamaican confection in which the flesh of the coconut is cut into small pieces cooked in sugar water until the sugar is caramelized, a piece of ginger is also added for flavor.Ingredients1 dry coconut (not bone dry) cut into small squares or cubesSugar to taste (brown sugar is best) crushed2 1/2 cups watera piece of fresh ginger (1 tablespoon)Note: Do not use bone dry coconut (extra dry) coconut to make drops, because it will be oily. Bone dry coconut is ideal to make coconut oil. You can tell if the coconut is extra dry by looking at the shell (outer covering) is extremely dark

Then we shouldn’t have a problem,” Menzies said.“I think that we just have do a better job of keeping the ball and making sure that we just focus on individual assignments throughout the match in order to make sure that we come away with something from the game.”
