CHICKEN WITH SAUCE PIQUANTE - Recipe of the day



This ought to be cooked with Cayenne pepper and served with a highly seasoned sauce, but not everybody likes that and a simpler way to cook the chicken "al diavolo" is the following:
Take a young chicken, remove the neck and the legs, open it all in front and flatten it open as much as possible. Wash and wipe dry with a towel, then put it on the grill and when it begins to brown turn it. Grease it with melted butter or with oil, using a brush, and season with salt and pepper. The later may be Cayenne pepper for those who like it. Keep turning and greasing until it is all cooked.
To prepare the sauce piquante that many like with chicken broiled in this way, put four tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan and when it begins to brown add two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until it is well browned, but do not let it burn. Draw to a cooler place on the range and slowly add two cupfuls of brown stock, stirring constantly, add salt and a dash of Cayenne and let simmer for ten minutes. In another saucepan boil four tablespoonfuls of vinegar one table[Pg 102]spoonful of chopped onion, one teaspoonful of sugar rapidly for five minutes; then add it to the sauce and at the same time add one tablespoonful of chopped capers two tablespoonfuls of chopped pickle and one teaspoonful of tarragon vinegar. Stir well and let cook for two minutes to heat the pickles. If the sauce becomes too thick dilute it with a little water.
This sauce is excellent for baked fish and all roasts and boiled meats, besides being a fitting condiment for the chicken "al diavolo"

Make something extraordinary tonight.

Allies At Last - French American Relations



Liberty's Kids episode number 25.  Allies at last.  About the French finally back the American cause.  Now to dispel some common but incorrect historical information about British, American relations during the American Revolution.

From; The American Revolution, by; Sydney G Fisher  Dated January 09th, 1902.

During the seven years fighting of the revolution Great Britain sent out peace commissioners and kept offering terms which steadily increased in liberality, entire freedom from taxation, in fact almost everything the rebel colonists had demanded, up even to a sort of semi-independence. Your great grandfather voted down everyone of them. He attended with Franklin the famous peace meeting with Lord Howe on Staten Island and rejected Lord Howe's terms. And why? Because none of them contained the one essential condition, absolute independence. Your great grandfather was a Kruger.





The above section came out of this history e-book.  You can check it for yourself.  

The above history e-book is an incredible read.  Well worth your time.

Government Truck Seen At Hardee's, Photo ID.





















This is a full size picture of Gloucester County government vehicle number 600 seen at the Hardee's today, July 29th, 2013 at 10:45 AM, in Hayes.  If you look to the far left, you can see the corner of the Taco Bell sign across the highway.  We cropped the other picture for vehicle identification purposes.  This is the same vehicle seen at the Hardee's at the courthouse area at 7:05 AM this morning.

  Anyone care to bet that the employees all go to McDonald's or Burger king for the rest of the week?  Maybe even Sonic's?  Send us your pictures of wherever you see them using government vehicles for personal use.  We will be happy to post them.  We can give you photo credit or keep your name off the information altogether.  Which ever works best for you.  Government employees are not supposed to use government vehicles for personal use.

Gloucester County Government Employee Waste Encore Pictures
















































We just asked what Gloucester County government employees could possibly do for an encore.  We wrote that to soon.  We were sent yet another email of another incident regarding a county government employee.  This is vehicle number 600, same as stated earlier as seen at Hardee's by the courthouse area of Gloucester.  This time it's Monday, July 29th, 2013, same day, at 10:45 AM at the Hardee's in Hayes.  Did he get a memo to stay out of the Hardee's at the courthouse area and decided to go to the one on the other side of the county.  He was seen heading back up to the courthouse area after leaving Hardee's parking lot in Hayes.

  So now county employee's are driving farther away to abuse wasting gas to eat every few hours?  Do we need to post the phone numbers on this site for the Hardee's restaurants so people can get ahold of county employees when they can not be found at work?

  The other fast food businesses should file a lawsuit against the county for unfair business practices as all the county government employees are playing favorites here?  Sounds absurd?  Well so do today's multiple stories on county government employees as well as Friday's.  This just never seems to end.  Is the county going to give tax credits back to Gloucester citizens for all of this waste?  And they want to forever increase taxes, everyone can see why right here.  There is no leadership in this county for government employees.  This all starts at the top and works it's way down and it's clear that it is out of control.

Enraged Gloucester County Employee Chases Picture Taker In County Vehicle.





































We received this photo from another person regarding vehicle number 63, B&G Maintenance, Gloucester County government driving a Gloucester County vehicle conducting personal business while driving a county vehicle wasting taxpayer money.  The person who sent us these pictures also told us an incredible story.

  The person who was driving this vehicle saw another person taking his picture and went after that person in this truck, chasing that person around the parking lot and almost ramming that person's private vehicle.  Was this because the county employee knew he was doing something wrong?  Was he told on Friday that he is not to use a government vehicle for personal use and did so anyway and was mad because he was caught?

  The other person who took this picture and witnessed that event said they immediately hid their camera as they did not want to be his next victim.  He was speeding around the parking lot in front of Tractor Supply to get the other person.

  This is just insane folks.  County employees are out of control and you can only blame those in charge as they are not in charge as they are supposed to be.  What do these folks have planned for an encore?

More New Pictures Of Gloucester County Employees Abusing Taxpayer Dollars




















Monday, July 29th, 2013 7:48 AM.  B&G maintenance vehicle number 63 once again seen at Hardee's buying breakfast using a Gloucester County government vehicle for personal business.  All at the expanse of the taxpayers.  This is the same vehicle caught on Friday.  We were kidding on Friday about if you can't find a local government employee at their work, then check Hardee's.  It looks like it's not a joke after all?  If it weren't for Hardee's some Gloucester County government employees would never eat!  Ya gotta love these guys.

Gloucester, VA To Get Illegal Middle School? Part 3




























On Friday, we posted pictures sent to us via email of Gloucester County employees using county vehicles to conduct personal business.  Seen above are new pictures sent to us today of yet another Gloucester County employee from another department once again, doing the same thing.  This time it is vehicle number 600 from Parks and Recreation.  These photos have been sent to us by two separate individuals.  One person was obviously inside while another was outside.  We are told that this took place at about 7:05 AM this morning.  Monday, July 29th, 2013.

  So what does this have to do with Gloucester potentially getting an illegal middle school?  Well the answer is both nothing and yet at the same time, everything.

  It shows us that Gloucester County officials have no control over their own employees and the waste employees are causing the taxpayers of Gloucester.  If officials can not even control their own employees, how can they possibly be expected to control 17 million dollars in Bond money?  It shows that Gloucester officials have no problems wasting tax dollars with no regard to taxpayers.

  It shows no regard to state laws, codes or policy.  When we reported on Twitching Ted, (I'm not an attorney), Wilmot, Gloucester County attorney found shopping during the middle of the day during business hours, it's clear that the problem starts at the top and employees are only following the example.  When does it end?
