Every Plate Meal Kit #3: Sausage, Glazed Pork Chop, Sriracha Beef

My sweet Cooks have been our 2 kids still living at home (17 and 20 years old; girl, boy). My role is to wash the dishes and pans. That's an OK trade-off.

They do not mind prepping and cooking, but now insist that they choose which meals get delivered for each week (and I pay for the meal plan, of course).

Loughlin and Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 to have their two daughters admitted to USC as crew recruits. Though neither is a rower, the parents saw being a coxswain as their daughters’ ticket into the private college, according to an affidavit filed in federal court. USC’s admissions rate is 13%. -- L A Times

Pro Life: Singer Joy Villa

I like this gutsy gal! Never heard of her before Mr Trump's election, but I and many more have heard of her by now.

Singer & Trump Supporter Joy Villa Donned a Brilliant Pro-Life Dress Sure to Tick Off Every Leftist at Daytime Emmys - by C Douglas Golden, Conservative Tribune

When it comes to conservative performance art, Joy Villa’s red carpet appearances are a thing of genius.

It all began with her “Make America Great Again” dress at the Grammys in February 2017. That’s when the Trump-fueled outrage of the left was still election-fresh and the merest fact that she had the courage to show support for the new president created a hue and cry unlike any other in Hollywood. You could hear the gnashing of dental implants and the rending of Issey Miyake originals.

And among conservatives, we were all, like, “well done.”

Villa didn’t stop the trigger-fest there, however. Some of her more recent fashion statements have not only been pro-Trump but have also been in support of the unborn, another issue that gives Tinseltown a collective case of hypertension.

And, at the 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday in Pasadena, Villa sent a few sphygmomanometers off the charts.

Gloria Vanderbilt and Millionaire Myths

The closest we ever got to anything related or connected to the wealthy Vanderbilt dynasty was during our vacation in NC. We had the privilege of visiting this vast, gorgeous mansion built by GW Vanderbilt, II.

Biltmore House, currently owned by the family of William Vanderbilt Cecil, is the largest privately-owned house in the United States @ 178,926 square feet of floor space.

Gloria Vanderbilt (owner William's 2nd cousin) told her son, Anderson Cooper, "... there is no inheritance." Good for her! She actually gave the best gift to Anderson -- motivation to excel and to work. It's sink or swim when you have no financial safety-net to catch you during Life's many, many challenges.

ETA: Gloria Vanderbilt leaves almost everything to Anderson Cooper

So how would Anderson or ANYONE become rich in their own right?
