When things are going right or good for a long time, something is about to go wrong. And vice versa, Alternatively, when thigns are going wrong or bad for an extended period, something is about ready to go right. Something good is due.
Alternatively, to incorporate eggs by hand: Let dough cool in saucepan, stirring frequently, until it registers 145°F on an instant-read thermometer. Add eggs 1 at a time, stirring well between additions until each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, until a smooth, shiny paste forms.
Use choux right away, or hold at room temperature for up to 2 hours before using; how you use the choux will depend on the application, though it’s important to prevent a skin from forming, either by transferring the choux right away to a pastry or zipper-lock bag and keeping it sealed, or pressing plastic wrap directly against the choux’s surface.
load the pastry bag, pipe choux leaving enough room for them to double in size
Choux pastries typically bake for 25-35 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Baking time can vary slightly depending on the size of the choux and the oven. It's important not to open the oven door while baking, as this can cause the choux to deflate.
Time flies alike the birds overhead
Flashing their feathers in colorful lights
Sending off songs makes the world alive
Heating the lust up as the sun rises
and cooling the cupidity off by moonlit
I wonder how we live this way until we die
Without knowing any idea of the manipulator
Who dominates the destiny of all our lives
Tell me if I should, to love, laugh, smile
Alternatively hate, quiet, sigh, or sad...
Though we are made all being toys de facto
You almighty! shall I need to ask the whys?
Eating too much food
is never any good
Puts one in a nasty mood
What to do? -- Eat some more food!
That'll solve everything, you'll feel so much better
tho to your refrigerator you'll feel like a debtor
Alternatively, you can take a vow of ascetism
tho it greatly restrict your athleticism
Of course, when all else fails, you can turn to Professor Google
whose algorithm recommends increasing Metamucil
As for me, I'm tearing my hair out
for it seems my appetite will never wear out
Oh, meaty mothballs!
as opposed to mothy meatballs
Alternatively - slobbering sloth-balls!
instead of sloppy moth-calls
Stupid refrigerator!
as opposed to dumb incinerator
Alternatively - dirty toenail taster!
instead of wanton whiskey-waster
It's the start of a brand-new year
Let's raise glasses and expectations
And while we're at it
~ improve imprecations!
Woodrow Wilson, back then a progressive
Now considered a wholesale regressive ~
Just think, Hilary / DJT *
What will you soon be ~
Deplorable compulsive-obsessive
*If Republican, read 'Hilary'
If Democrat, read 'DJT'
Alternatively, read 'JRB,' -- (Joseh Robinette Biden)
The most discussed Basho haiku How would you translate it?
Furuike ya
kawazu tobikomu
mizu no oto
- Basho
Literal Translation
Fu-ru (old) i-ke (pond) ya,
ka-wa-zu (frog) to-bi-ko-mu (jumping into)
mi-zu (water) no o-to (sound)
my two cents
old pond
leaping frog
splash! (alternatively ripples*)

It happened in May, 1948
Israel declared itself a new-old state
In hours it came under fierce attack
From Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq
The four Arab states told their kin in Israel
Leave your homes, come to us. Here's the deal:
In three weeks or less, we'll push the Jews into the Sea
Then you'll return to your homes in triumphant victory
But little Israel turned the Arab attackers away
So what did Egypt and Jordan do within days?
They fenced their 'Arab brothers' in squalid refugee camps
Then blamed Israel(!) for causing them their murderous plans to 'revamp'
This is what happened. Read about it in the media of that day
If so, why do so many people support the PA?* --
Because the Arabs have lied about the refugees for so many years
That the truth has become sullied and is no longer clear
History will show that Israel is not to blame
The onus is on the Arabs, along with the shame
______________________________________________________
The PA are the Palestinian Arabs. Alternatively PA is the Palestinian
Authority, the self-governing entity of President Mahmoud Abbas in
the Gaza Strip.
Two sets of three words each
Each sets forces in motion
Mighty as mountains, vast as the ocean
The first set, "I give up"
All momentum it quells
The future, disrupts
The other, "I love you"
Walks you out on a limb
Your destiny magical; alternatively, grim
Utter these three words with the utmost care
Never with a wing; always with a prayer
Sit around and do nothing all day
Alternatively watch the rugby played
Take the wife shopping and pay
Up to the chippy no cooking today
Ring the lads for a pint, wey hey
Drink, drink all your troubles away
Abuse the dart team in their game
Yep thats the way to spend a Saturday

Three spirits rule the world
Spirit of God the Creator
Spirit of Satan the destroyer
And Human spirit
As a free moral Agent
Human spirit has freedom of choice
To yield to God’s spirit
Alternatively be ruled by evil spirit
Evil spirit is the cause of pain
Makes victims live without gain
Thereby see their God in bad light
To devil’s eternal satisfaction and delight
The spirit of God is with us
Progenitor of human existence
To Him we owe the fruits
With which to destroy the power of satan
You said you dodged a bullet.
If I was the bullet,
Then I shot myself.
And barely grazed you.
If I was the bullet
Then I killed myself.
And left you with a scar.
Alternatively,
If I am the bullet,
Then I shot myself.
And you got hurt trying
To intercept pain that was not
Yours to take.
Journalism
The tellers of the truth
Those who take this to heart
End up working
In underground newspapers
Alternatively, the internet.
Some journalists think they
are intellectuals
Few of them are.
So many journos in the big press
Follow the press
Faithfully write about
The brief they have been giving
Also, do not bother to look behind the screen.
For them, it is a job
That pays well thinking deep is not for them
They tow the line and are respected.
This clique of men and women feed off each
Other in a narrowing world.
Contempt for them is the right word
So, don’t think reporting is journalism.
Jesus Gods Link
Written: by Tom Wright
3/10/03
The words I pen, quite simply,
Are my thoughts disposed to ink.
Laying my heart agape on paper,
Inviting others to seek God's link.
I seek not possession, or ownership,
To thoughts that once dormant lay.
God, bades my elite in each travail,
In stride, thought, and feats of day.
Never regarding it developed talent,
But alternatively, God's, gift to me.
That in using my blundering efforts,
I've presented Jesus, for others to see.
So consider these not as abeyant words,
Ink, structured to form a printed page.
My objective was to show you Jesus,
And plant a seed to sprout with age.
