I just wish Obama would quit trying to imitate a preacher. That's irritating.

So, did the po-po get their cookies?

An old world pastry, Potica is made from a dough rolled so thin and wide that a newspaper can be read through it. Then layered with walnuts, butter, cream and vanilla, is rolled into a spiral and baked to a crisp amber brown. Serve it with any meal or for a snack. Potica is delicious plain, by itself, heated or unheated. But you can enjoy it many different ways.
Mom usually makes potica for Christmas, but with everything happening, my wife made up a big batch this year.  Mom still had some frozen from Christmas.

It's expensive and time-consuming to make, but worth it.

Get all the damage fixed and write down the phone number for the local police front desk, and tape it by her phone.  smiley

Sounds like the number for a plumber would be more appropriate.

Seriously, calling the police, 911 or non-emergency, over a water leak?

At four in the morning?  Good luck with that.  You might get the water shut off in an hour, or two.   rolleyes
