NEWS YOU CAN USE: I Cooked A Frozen Turkey (Not Fake News).

“ACTIVISTS” ARE LIARS: Salvation Army commander: Yes, we are faith-based charity. But we serve and love everyone.

The Salvation Army is the world’s largest nongovernmental provider of poverty relief, serving more than 23 million in need each year in America alone. Our doors are, and always have been, open to all. We don’t ask anyone their orientation, identity or beliefs, to help ensure that they feel welcome and safe. So while we can’t claim an exact number, we believe by sheer size and access that we are the largest provider of poverty relief for people in the LGBTQ community.

Across our 7,686 centers of operation, you’ll find Salvation Army employees who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. You’ll find social workers who understand, advocate for and implement tailored services. You’ll find dedicated initiatives and resources designed for unique support. And you’ll find volunteers who embody our mission to serve all.

Yet because our organization is rooted in faith, a chorus repeatedly rises that insists we are anti-LGBTQ. And that refrain is dangerous to the very community we are wrongly accused of rejecting. At minimum, perpetuating rhetoric that vilifies an organization with the reach, housing, programming and resources that we have in place to lift them up is counterintuitive and inefficient. But when that organization depends on the generosity of donors to provide much-needed assistance to so many across all walks of life, it’s devastating.

We have a dorm in Las Vegas exclusively for transgender individuals. In Minneapolis, an estimated 20% of the 550 or so individuals who seek rest in our Harbor Light shelter each night are members of the LGBTQ community. In San Francisco, we operate a detoxification facility that caters to those infected with HIV/AIDS. Our Young Adult Resource Center provides day shelter to homeless youth in Houston, many of whom identify as LGBTQ. We work with the City of Baltimore to combat trafficking among transgender individuals, a growing need there. And every other Salvation Army program, shelter or center nationwide is open to members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Those are verifiable facts, and though we have much more to do as we try to address unique needs of all kinds, Salvation Army programs like these are ready to help vulnerable LGBTQ people at this very minute.

But “activists” are liars. Remember, they aren’t good people who got carried away by a passion for justice. They’re awful, horrible, garbage people motivated by a desire to harm.

FLASHBACK: AN EXCELLENT RECIPE FOR REMOULADE FROM THE LATE, AND MISSED, KARL BOCK, AKA “CHEF MOJO.”

Creole Remoulade Sauce

My uncle Kent requested this. It’s the remoulade that I serve with my crab cakes. It’s been adapted over the years from a recipe by Chef Paul Prudhomme, one of my culinary heroes. His original recipe was all the ingredients on top of an egg/oil emulsification. The food safety types cringe at that sort of thing (Yeah, I’m lookin’ at you, Riddley…), so I adapted it to use mayo. And, really. There’s only one mayo that’s worth a damn, and that’s Duke’s. Look for it. It has the taste that makes everything Southern.

The secret to this recipe is the lemon. Half a lemon, seeded. Literally. Skin, pith and flesh. It gives the recipe a wonderful bitter tang.

1/2 cup scallion greens, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup horseradish
1/2 lemon, seeded
1 bay leaf, crumbled
2 T Zatarain’s Creole mustard (sub Pomerey)
4 T catsup
1 T Tabasco sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 t Spanish sweet paprika
1 t salt
1 t fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup Duke’s mayo

Take all of the ingredients and process them until smooth. Makes around 1 and a half cups. Store in the fridge.

Enjoy.

THE MANDALORIAN: Dear Disney, Ignore the SJWs, Star Wars Is Good Again.

If there’s one thing SJWs love to attack, it’s Disney and Disney related properties. This includes Star Wars, which, thanks to an infusion of social justice, has really sucked lately. Anyone who watches the new sequels starring Rey the Mary Sue and her merry band of social justice list checks knows they’re horribly written, off character entries that have done so badly and angered so many fans that they’re rumored to be taking the product out of executive producer Kathleen Kennedy’s hands and putting them into John Favreau’s.

And that’s the best news any Star Wars fan can ask for given the current predicament because Favreau has already proven he can make excellent Star Wars, seeing as how his show “The Mandalorian,” is so good that it actually has me excited about Star Wars again.

Melissa and I watched the first two episodes with our boys on Sunday night, and everybody agreed The Mandalorian was loads of fun. Maybe not great Star Wars, but very good Star Wars — and after the twin disasters of Solo and The Last Jedi, that’s enough to generate a new hope for the franchise.

But not for next month’s The Rise of Skywalker, which looks just awful.
