This weekend Fox News personality Glenn Beck gave the keynote speech at the CPAC convention.  I didn’t get to see the whole speech, we started listening to it in the car (Barb has XM Radio in her car and it stays on Fox News most of the time!)  on the way back from dinner.  When we got home we got the rest of the speech on Fox News on TV.

Glenn did a terrific job!  He was passionate as usual, made some really good points, and also gave us a bit of a history lesson on the 1920 depression.  I didn’t know that there was a 1920 depression.  I knew about the 1929 depression, but not 1920.

I have linked the video of his speech from the Glenn Beck website below.  It runs about an hour, but I will tell you right now it is worth the time.

In 2008 the Supreme Court struck down the long standing handgun ban in Washington DC.  Citizens of our Capital City were again allowed to own handguns.   Well, after not quite two years of citizens being able to own handguns the murder rate has decreased 25% !  How about that.  It is true, gun ownership makes citizens safer!

The way we are headed in the United States today, this story could soon be true here.

A woman in the UK, home alone late on Friday night in her kitchen which overlooked her garden, saw several teens had entered her garden and were attempting to break into her shed.   She screamed at them and waved a kitchen knife at them and they ran off.  When the police arrived she was informed that she could be arrested.  They explained that  a knife was an offensive weapon and it was illegal to use an offensive weapon even in defense of their own home!

Here is the link to the story in the Telegraph.

Fortunately we still have the right to defend our lives and homes in America.  But, I am certain, there are a number of politicians in this country that would love to make America like Europe…..some of them have even stated as such.   Unfortunately for the UK they don’ t have a Second Amendment.  I hope we are able to hang on to ours!

Ok, here it is.  The recipe for the best Chex Mix you have ever eaten.  This is my mother’s recipe modified over the years; I like a bit more garlic in mine.

In a small sauce pan melt a stick and a half of butter, use real butter, margarine doesn’t taste nearly as good.  Add two table spoons of Worcestershire sauce, a teaspoon salt, teaspoon of garlic powder.  Mix these together in the melted butter.

Put 2 cups each of Wheat Chex, Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Cheerios, small pretzel sticks broken in half, and an 11.5 oz. can of mixed nuts into a small roasting pan.  I use the  broiler pan from our oven, it should be a good steel pan, not one of the foil pans.

Pour the butter mix over the Chex mix and stir it in well, get all of the mix wet with the butter sauce.

Bake the mix for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 275 degrees stirring every 15 minutes, turn the mix over to make sure it stays slightly wet with the butter sauce.  I use the convection oven that seems to make the mix a bit crisper and keeps the butter sauce from burning on the bottom of the pan.  Bake until the mix is starting to brown.

Let it cool, if you can wait, and enjoy!
