tntgoodwin Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I was just curious if there was any correlation between people's views on abortion and circumcision. Please don't argue! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I seriously doubt there is a correlation - at least not a strong one... I could see many ways in which you could approach those two topics and have different opinions about them. Also, I can also assume this thread will go awry...

Carpe Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Ingredients 2/3 cup lard 2/3 cup butter 1 1/2 cups white sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, lard and sugar. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, stir into the creamed mixture until dough comes together. Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Place them on an unprepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until bottom is light brown. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks. Frost with your favourite icing. They're Delish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sputterduck Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I bet there is a correlation. There certainly is in my life. Most people I know who are adamant that boys ought to be circumcised are also pro-life. Most people I know who think it's a bad thing are pro-choice. I, personally, am pro-life and anti-circ. Leave little boys alone. Keep them the they way God made them (since He doesn't make mistakes) and a fetus is a human life. :) I am fine though with circ though for religious reasons.

gaillardia Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I need a good chicken recipe. Something new but easy. Any takers? You've probably already done this with chicken: bake with salsa on the pieces, then add cheese the last 10-15 minutes. I like to saute cut up smallish pieces of chicken in olive oil, add soy sauce when cooked through, add sesame seeds and ginger matchsticks. Maybe add the ginger sticks early in the process.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy too in my opinion my son who is 12 and has autism can do this almost by his self. I have also looked into the marinates you can buy already made by the salad dressing.

aggieamy Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Way too much stirring for me today. Seriously though, I take chicken thighs that I buy on sale for cheap, pull the skin off, and then season with Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Have DH grill them and they are soo good. Another one I've done lately is marinating the skinless chicken thighs in a mix of half Italian dressing and half soy sauce before grilling. It's another amazing summer recipe.
