(1) Top WTF News
This week, we ran the Army Ten Miler to support Army family morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) programs. It was a lot of fun, and the soreness went away after only a couple days!
We’re also continuing to promote our new book, Vignettes & Vino: Dinner Table Stories from the Trump White House with Recipes and Cocktail Pairings.
The book is available for pre-sale in the biggest retailers in America! Order your copy today at one of these fine choices:
(2) Top Political News of the Week
Midterm Elections
Some more interesting polling data came out this week:
(3) Top Policy & Business News of the Week
Inflation & Interest Rates
Unfortunately, our predictions regarding tough economic sledding are continuing to come true.
Business & National Security
We're seeing enhanced coverage of the new rules issued by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to require licenses to export high-performing chips to China. This is considered a serious escalation in the power competition involving the all-important semiconductor industry.
(4) Recipe & Drink Pairing of the Week
All-Time Greatest Turkey Burgers with the Golden Gentleman
This is another favorite from Vignettes & Vino!
To Eat: All-Time Greatest Turkey Burgers
Makes 6 patties
2 packs (about 2 to 2½ lbs.) ground turkey
½ yellow onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
1 Tbsp. garlic salt
1 Tbsp. garlic marinade (Garlic Expressions preferred)
1½ Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 egg yolk
6 brioche buns
Mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
Lettuce
Bread-and-butter chip pickles
Place the ground turkey in a bowl, and then add in all of the ingredients (except the mayo, mustard, lettuce, and pickles). Using your hands, combine the ingredients. Let the meat soak up the marinade. If you have time, cover the dish and let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour or so. Then pack the meat into six individual patties.
These are great to cook on the grill or the stovetop. Make sure they cook through thoroughly, usually at least 4 minutes on each side, until the patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F. We usually serve them on brioche buns with mayo, Dijon mustard, lettuce, and bread and butter chip pickles.
To Drink: Golden Gentleman
2 oz. whiskey (Gentleman Jack preferred)
3 oz. ginger ale
½ oz. lime juice
Lime wedge, for garnish
Pour all the ingredients except the lime wedge in a glass over ice and stir. Add the lime wedge to the rim for garnish.
(5) WTF Moment of the Week
Rep. Lee Zeldin, friend of WTF and candidate for Governor of New York, reported a shooting occurring on Sunday outside his home while his twin daughters were home. He, naturally, cited it as a prime example of why the state needs a law-and-order governor. The Buffalo News had the audacity to claim that Zeldin was "seizing" on the shooting for political expediency. Really?!
