Tonight’s Meal

Tonight’s meal by Chef Bill Sr. was a delicious grilled lamb chop with the secret being it’s tenderized with Adolph’s Meat Tenderizer, garlic powder and cracked black pepper before putting it to the flames. It was served with grilled eggplant — thank you Andrew;  sauteed red peppers and cherry tomatos again cooked over the grill and mushrooms stuffed with breadcrumbs and inexpensive supermarket-brand horseradish cheese.

It was four stars for sure.
The wine was Jack’s Blend from McWilliams Harwood Estate purchased from a Pennsylvania Wine and Spirits Shoppe. McWilliams does not tell what the blend of grapes happens to be but it was rather enjoyable actually. 

Judge Upholds Pa. Voter ID Law

Chalk up a win for the good guys.

Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson, this morning, Aug. 15,upheld the Pennsylvania law requiring a photo identification to be produced before voting.

The law — Act 18 signed by Gov. Corbett on March 14 —  had been challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP and other groups that are basically auxiliaries of the Democratic Party, which has traditionally found itself of the wrong side of allegations of vote fraud schemes.
They have vowed to appeal.
Simpson in his 70-page opinion said that he was “convinced that efforts by [the state] and interested groups will fully educate the public,” on the simple steps required to cast one’s ballot this November.
