Fall Dishes

Tuesday evening, I made borshch, and this evening I made a pumpkin pie, which is currently baking. I have one good serving of borshch left, for Thursday’s dinner; the pie should be good for multiple days of desserts.

Dilemma

I’m planning to vote for Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia. Despite my disagreements with his policies, at least he isn’t a Trumpublican. Glenn Youngkin, the Republican, may not be a hardcore Trumpist, but he and his candidate for Lieutenant Governor have not denounced Trump or tried to wean Virginia’s deplorables away from belief in the demagogue.

I get regular emails from the Daily Kos, at least one of which urged people to support McAuliffe on the ground that a Democratic win in Virginia would help get President Biden’s Build Back Better program passed; if true, that would be one reason to vote for Youngkin, or perhaps for Mickey Mouse.
