(CNN) “A former police captain who was part of a private citizens group investigating still unsubstantiated 2020 election fraud claims was charged Tuesday with running a man off the road and pointing a gun to his head two weeks before the election, the Harris County district attorney said in a statement.”

Granted, the actual incident is horrifying, and wrong and dangerous, especially when you read the entire article and learn this former cop had been following the man for four days, believing he was a voting fraud mastermind with 750,000 ballots in his truck … instead of an air conditioner repairman.  Easy mistake to make, right?

If this Houston dude can get any technician to come fix a broken AC for him anytime this century, bless his heart.  Here’s the entire CNN article.

As Jane notes, Panera has extended their free coffee and free refills subscription program.  Three months of unlimited free coffee.  You must enter a credit card, but cancel at any time online, via their APP or phone, so get yourself some freebies.

Well, slap my ass and call me Sally, but sometimes you just get tired of Jewel being out of half and half (50% of the time) or only offering fat-free.  Use a gallon a week, so I’m quite familiar with their warehouse issues.  Rachel has been pushing Aldi (thanks for the pretty pix), but my last visit was what I thought was a year ago, but since 2020 never happened, it must have been years before.  omg, what a change!  Pita and I picked up 3 half gallons of half & half ($3.49) and then noticed Scottish shortbread imported from the UK and dry salami.  Salami packs were only $3.99 for 8 oz, while a 17 oz shortbread tin set me back $7.99.  Well, set Pita back if we’re honest.  Taste and quality so good FirstBorn dropped a $20 on the table for more salami; naturally we stopped back yesterday.  Since it was cold enough for a long down coat, I didn’t even have to get dressed, so win-win!.  Picked up 10 packs of the fennel & one truffle salami plus four more tins of shortbread.  Planning to bake my own, but that project can be put on the back burner with products of this quality & price, especially since Rachel says they’re only holiday deals available for the next few weeks.  must grab more …

We are supposed to get two inserts in this Sunday’s paper (12/13): one SmartSource and one RetailMeNot . Not all papers will carry the same coupons or have the same values.  Dollar Tree had family size boxes of General Mills cereals this week, so maybe those coupons?

If it’s cold enough to have the heat on 24/7, time to start baking – have to justify a year of Bake Off!  First loaf of the season, mixed with lots of white cheddar powder from my recent Amazon purchase (check the post ’cause everything’s been working out awesomely).  Brownies a few days ago plus two cinnamon coffee cakes yesterday.  Tomorrow will be a pureed lentil curry (with my new immersion blender) over royal rice medley.  My best equipment purchase so far – the instant read thermometer.  Use it for EVERYTHING (even air temp!). Only $13.99 and an Amazon Choice.
