Instant pot gumbo

Just...DON'T!

Mix t. thought she'd try gumbo in her instant pot.
(She is 100% Cajun on both sides. Mom and pop.)
Actually took longer than her standard recipe.
The sauté' function made an inferior roux.
It was just blah.

She rescued it tonight.
Made a brunette roux and added that plus some more okra and file'.
NOW it tastes like her gumbo.

I guess I'm an alien.

Sent my spit off to 23&me.
Got back "Unable to extract your DNA."
Enclosed was another tube.
Sent it in again.
Got back "Unable to extract your DNA. Purchase price refunded."

Y'all know about the Office of Pardon Atorney?

Part of DOJ.
https://www.justice.gov/pardon

Every presidential pardon is matter of public record.
You can see them all there.
"Can't tell the players if you don't have a program."

Who remembers "Magic Fingers"?

That little box you'd feed with quarters to get the mattress to vibrate at a motel?
I got a vibrating back cushion for Christmas.

I really liked their Cajun inspired super market, but no more.
I'll never spend another dime there.
Yeah, I know. That'll bring 'em to their knees.

They are pretty much in red states.

For it is written...

Among them shall appear a false prophet
And his mark will be upon their foreheads.

Resigning cabinet members are cowards.

They're to chicken to be around to invoke 25th amendment.

Piss off 2020.

Get the hell out of town.
The worst you did in your tenure
Was give us the orange clown.

Sayonara 2020
Vacate, vamoose, clear out.
Go away and don't come back.
And take the pussy grabbing lout.


For those much more talented that I, please add more verses.
