Make your own Ranch, Dry Onion Soup Mix and Taco Seasoning and store in small mason jars :)

Taco Seasoning:
1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup onion powder
... 1/8 cup ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon sea salt
Put ingredients into a jar and shake.

Dry Onion Soup Mix:
2/3 cup dried, minced onion
3 teaspoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Mix all ingredients in a jar, then give the jar a good shake. I’d recommend shaking the jar to mix the ingredients well before each use.
Use 4 tablespoons in a recipe in place of 1 packet of onion soup mix. Store this in a dry, cool place.

Ranch:
5 tablespoons dried minced onions
7 teaspoons parsley flakes
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix together and store in an air tight container.
For dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream.
For dip: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream.
Mix up a few hours before serving, so the flavors all blend.

You could paint the lids with black board paint and chalk what the mix is and then rub it out when used and start again.

These deadly icicles are known by many infamous names such as the “brinicles of death” or the more commonly known name “icicle of death”.
Such names were given to describe its unforgiving “touch of death” to the sea creatures below. It also resembles a layered or swirled piped look that extends below the layer of sea ice.
A BBC film crew was able to shoot the development of these layers of sheath of ice, while shooting Frozen Planet (if you haven't seen it, it's awesome!)

As a type of icicle called Ice Stalactite or also known as brinicles.

The brinicles can develop all the way to the sea floor (as seen in the photo) and it forms a web-like ice among the sea floor.
As it touches the living sea creatures below, it introduces a slow and freezing death.
The BBC film crew successfully displayed this powerful and unique development and imminent event.

When They Come for You


Why do I speak out in support of the gay community?

Because I wish to live in freedom, and every time I contemplate that freedom, I am reminded of a poem by Martin Niemoller:

First they came for the communists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me,

and there was no one left to speak for me.
