| Super 8 (2011) was cast by a child molester |
"It's shocking and it's devastating, not just as a filmmaker but as a father and someone who is entrusted to make sure that everyone I work with, especially children, are safe." ~ J.J. Abrams, director and producer, Super 8.
- Murphy also helped to cast children in The Three Stooges, Bad News Bears, The School of Rock and Cheaper by the Dozen 2. He sent an email to Abrams Artists Agency on Wednesday "looking for 12-year-olds for a USC student film."
- In 1996, he molested and then abducted an 8-year-old boy from his elementary school and flew with him to New York City. A prosecutor described Murphy in court papers as "obsessed" with the boy and cited a police interview in which a female friend said Murphy "was in love with" the child and had talked openly of taking him to live in London or Australia. Murphy pleaded guilty to child molestation and kidnapping charges and was given the maximum prison sentence of five years under state law by a judge who called him "a sick young man." Later after he was caught trying to contact the victim, he was given an additional five months.
- He registered as a sex offender in California, but never registered his alias "Jason James."
- California law prohibits sex offenders whose victims were younger than 16 from "working directly and in an unaccompanied setting with minor children on more than an incidental and occasional basis or have supervision or disciplinary power over minor children."
- Paramount Pictures said it would change its screening process. "Moving forward, we … will also conduct background checks on all freelance employees, full time and part time, who work with minors on our productions."

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 577 of 577 Newer› Newest»Sorry people: don't like saurkraut in any form. Ate that stuff as a kid. Being half Polish and German, there was a lot of Polish sausage and brats with saurkraut. My grandmother ate is almost everyday. Saurkraut makes me sick. A hot dog place by my house, puts kraut on hot dags with hot peppers. EEEK!
Like I and a lot here said Kate will probably steal ideas from other blogs and claim them as her own ideas. Kate has never had an original thought.
As for that tweet of there are only a handful here, that person must be a sheeple. Kate must be buy followers, and the regulars must be reg with different names. 63,000, don't think so. I notice at BM site there are what a handful. Sheeple/kate kiss-ups are so full of shit.
And just for the record: sheeple and kate kiss-ups, should get off twitter/net and go and spend time with you own kids, and family and not idol worship Kate. And before anyone tells me to do that: I have no kids, very little family left, and no I don't have a twitter account and I don't spend 24/7 on the internet, at the most 3 hours, and not all at blogs either. And if I were working, that 3 hours would be probably 1 hour.
Do you think that Kate realizes that although LV is relatively warm during the day once the sun goes down in the desert it can be quite chillly? LV is in the desert. Hot when she was there during the RV trip but now, not so much. I really don't think she'll be sitting by the pool sunning herself this trip.
Oh yep, homemade bread with that dish, another morning laugh. She also forgot to post pictures of her 7 year olds shoveling down 3 cans of sauerkraut plus onions. Makes you wonder a bit what they really eat since she's away so much.
Marie, Kate doesn't give her kids the option of disliking the food she cooks. She admitted herself that she keeps serving it until they eat it -- a la the eggplant parm. that Mady complained about on one show. I think the kids understand this and just choke down whatever she puts in front of them, hoping that the next meal they get is something more edible. Personally, much of the food she brags about is stuff I wouldn't touch with a 20 ft. pole (Thanks for that, Bibby, LOL), let alone when I was 6 or 7 and 10 or 11. I'm not a mom, but I understand kids well enough to know that, at that age, they want the familiar when it comes to food. By all means, introduce them to new tastes and combinations, but include enough familiar food so that they can taste the new dish and pass on it if it's not to their liking.
Tucker's Mom -- I agree that Kate minimizes protein, as she does with a lot of necessary nutrients. Yet, her meals for the kids are a bit carb heavy. If I were serving the sauerkraut/pork dinner, I'd add a vegetable -- perhaps green beans or maybe broccoli and eliminate the bread. Mashed potatoes absolutely have to be served with anything sauerkraut -- I think that's some sort of law LOL!

Tucker's Mom said...Other than that, bread takes a lot of time to develop. Days and days and days to make a starter.
____
My mother made bread every Saturday, from scratch where you knead and let rise twice. There was no "starter." The only starter I know of is for sour dough bread. Is that what you mean?
I do love "Rippchen mit Kraut" but three jars of kraut plus all those onions? Those must be some gassy kids!

Yes. Sourdoughs, ciabattas (biga) and the like.
She twists the truth so much that homemade doesn't mean made at home......it means made from scratch at a bakery.
I wonder how long it will take her to announce that she 'invented' cooking a whole chicken in the crockpot and then using the cooked meat during the week for various recipes. There are even some websites with sections devoted to this, but they call it "Using ROTISSERIE Chicken".
Just curious here: I make a loaf of bread in the bread machine twice a week. One white bread and one specialty (cinnamon raisin, or oatmeal... etc). I use ingredients from scratch, never ever any of those mixes you can buy. Does three hour bread machine bread count as homemade? Does it matter if ya measure out individual ingredients vs premade mix? My shoulders cant handle the kneading anymore. I am just curious as to what the group thinks...
Homemade spaghetti- that's a hoot!

Bread machine is homemade. I've thought about getting one so many times but with just 2 people to feed, it's too much carb sitting around tempting me.
The remains of my most recent loaf (rosemary and dill) was made into bread crumbs and topped a gratin dish. I won't make another for a couple weeks.

You bet it does. Must smell heavenly!
Kate must have just taken up making bread as I distinctly remember her saying that she buys loaves of bread by the "flat". If she does, then good for her.
I grew up on Wonder bread and now that's a comfort food treat every once in a while.
(sorry about posting twice. I thought the first one got lost in cyberspace)
I do love "Rippchen mit Kraut" but three jars of kraut plus all those onions? Those must be some gassy kids!

If nothing else, sauerkraut cleans you out.
It's interesting that all of her kids like sauerkraut - it's not exactly a universal favorite among children. Not all of mine like it...kids either hate it, or they love it.
I'm waiting for her to post a recipe for homemade chow-chow.

You know if it was really homemade, that would've been THE FIRST picture she posted and went on and on about.
Totally store bought...probably frozen and she just warmed it up in the oven.
If Kate tried to make homemade bread, the twit would burn the outside and the inside would be raw just like her special 'sammynella' chicken. Moron.

Readerlady, you're right that mashed potatoes have to be served with sauerkraut dishes like this. It is the law! I hate to say this but guess what we're having for dinner tonight!
Guess she didn't actually watch her girl Taylor last night, gets her news on Twitter. So how much money did you raise for the zoo with her guitar? No Twits about any of that.

Yep. That there is homemeade bread, just like the homemade Halloween apples with teeth she took a picture of and tried to pass off that she did it (on Twitter).
Readerlady says - does anyone here really believe that Kate makes "homemade" bread?
----------------------------------
I do!!! When she makes her 'famous' sticky buns at Christmas she starts with 2 packages of Pilsbury Grands and then adds ............ oh never mind.

Yeah, but can you do all that AND have 8 kids AND Twitter non-stop, blog AND run 20 miles? Cause Kate can. She is Can-Do Kate!!!!!!
Kate says she uses the stones people throw at her to make the nails.
She is awesome!!!!! I wanna grow to be her!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't "doosy" spelled "doozy'? Or is that a regional option too?
Maybe I don't understand twitter but Kate is twitting like she and Taylor are buddies but Kate is not on Taylor's "following" list. Kate not made a big impression on Taylor to follow her every word.
Home made bread yeah the bread she brought made it home saftly. Fricking liar
What size does the crockpot have to be to hold (9) pork chops, onions and 100 oz of sauerkraut? 55 gallon drum size?
Dwindle - It doesn't matter so much what the "group" thinks. I think bread machines count as homemade but another person might not.
As for Kate's "homemade" spaghetti, when I make homemade spaghetti I use dry pasta. Does that make my spaghetti any less homemade? Did Kate claim she was making homemade pasta?
Kate's style of cooking would be what Sandra Lee does - semi-homemade. And there's nothing wrong with that.
I understand the complaint is how Kate has represented her cooking in the past - that it's all organic (which it's not), that it's all from scratch. I think the issue comes, of course, with how Kate defines things. Scratch to her may mean anything you cook at home. Ergo, taking Pillsbury dough or frozen bread and heating it up is cooking from scratch. For generations that are used to eating out and using convenience foods far more than older ones and therefore aren't as well versed in the art of cooking, her definition makes sense. It's not my understanding of what "from scratch" means.
Kate does this alot and I understand why it is annoying but I am perplexed at times as to why some people get so angry about it. My problem with it is that Kate is a role model to a number of fans and so she is leading by a poor and uniformed example but I guess in this area I'm more of an eye roller than a soap boxer because there a hundreds of celebrities that do this as well and frankly you should never let anyone do your thinking for you and if you do, well fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. I get more frustrated at people who don't think for themselves.
So for the record - Kate, you make things "semi-homemade", not from scratch. Your food is pretty standard mid-western fare (which I'm not against in any way, shape or form, given my Minnesotan heritage) but it's not the cutting edge of healthy and your recipes can be easily found in "Fix it and Forget It" and other cookbooks. I give you props for cooking at home, though. Your kids are getting older and may be willing to try other types of food. I hope you have moved beyond "lunchable" style meals for them and that they are sitting in regular chairs now. Try mixing it up a little bit. The "Greens" cookbook is a great one. William-Sonoma has a great kids in the kitchen book. Cooking Light is a wonderful website as is "Cooks Illustrated". Maybe you could provide links to these sites on your own website to help better educate your fans. Just a thought.
You know, if Kate ate a big giant bowl of her pork and sauerkraut the night before the race she would be self-propelled.
I would gladly bet my monthly social security check that, like all the other pictures of prepared food, the housekeeper or nanny does all the cooking in that household.
She probably buys several prepared items from Henrys wife,down the road,takes a few pictures and claims she made it all by herself.
The only thing she is responsible for, is writing the checks for keeping it all running and checking her bank account to make sure she has enough funds in her account that day to place her daily internet orders of Nike wear, hooker heels,boxed wine and new padded bras !
Once in awhile she places an order for her little sissy boys cheap polos, college letter block sweaters, black shoes and white tube socks !
The poor kids don't need anything now since they're not on camera any longer. It's okay to wear your pants folded up to your knees because nobody cares !

LOL, Fidos! But what would she leave in her wake? She'd have to wear one of those diapers worn by the horses in parades, lest anyone would step in the mess left behind.
Oh, wait a minute...there might not be anyone behind her!

I kind of think Dwindle's question was snark, and she was just pulling our legs!

-------------
One of the very big ones! I can get a very large roast in mine, plus veggies when I make pot roast. If she has a large pot, she shouldn't have any problems getting all of that in there. I think I have the largest one made - it's oval and perfect for roasts and chops.
I am not sure if the tups get a whole porkchop or half at this point. Never mind Kate's idea of what is "homemade." My guess is that means she made it at home. That simple. Trying not to complicate things, as Kate is really a very simple minded person. Her ideas of "scratch" and homemade over the years have never shown her making home made bread or pasta so I doubt she is starting now.
Again, "home made" with Kate, means she made the recipe at home. IMO.
@gramof5,
I know Kate has called her boys dirty, disgusting, horrendously filthy and icky, all of which drive me up a wall. No, I don't have kids yet but the way she carries on about her sons just hurts, you know? She said boys are strange to her. She has no clue how important she is as a mother to her sons does she? It's dreadful.
But I do not know if she's ever called them sissy...oh wait, yep I do. "Be a man," What the hell is that about? These are little boys, not teenagers. She dotes on her younger girls.
The way she has her kids in this pecking order (little girls first, the big girls, then the boys) is the strangest thing I think I've ever seen a mother do.
My guess is by the time her sons are in their teens or just before they may end up living with Jon. Just to spare herself the drama!
Is Menu Monday going to be another cheesy casserole? Is that all her kids get to eat?
I mean sure I grew up on meat and potatoes in Illinois and then Mexican in southern Cali as a kid, but I never ate as many casseroles and meatloaf's as Kate prepares for her kids.
I'm not a big fan of cheese, butter or salt, I'm surprised with Kate's eating habit she doesn't have her kids avoid those foods too seeing as she is so obsessive. I dread for her girls come teenage years....
I practically gagged when I read over the pork recipe. That much sulfure from the onions and kuart which is pickled cabbage, would give me heartburn and burp alot. And way too much salt too. I see that there's no apples or anything to cut through the tanginess of it. 3 jars and for 5 hours? What for? The pork is already cooked so I'm guessing its going to turn to mush. Gag. The taste must be overpowering and kill the pork taste. I have a slow cooker and I only use the extended cooking time if the meat is raw to start with or a braising type of meat. Pork chops aren't the braising type. I also seriously hope that wasn't meant to be consumed in one sitting. It just makes my stomach hurt thinking about the amount of kuart and onions and the heaviness of mashed potato and bread. I just have to say EEEWWw to this one.
Hollybaby (http://www.hollybaby.com/2011/11/21/kate-gosselin-kids-thanksgiving) is reporting Kate is taking the kids for both the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas Day) - dose anyone know if thas true? dosen't seem fair on Jon if she gets the kids on all the holidays.

I guess nobody is going to make a Pennsylvania Dutch-person out of you! It's not a universal taste. It's not comfort food. You either like it or you don't. The pork doesn't turn to mush and the kraut doesn't kill the taste. How about some pig stomach (stuffed with sausage and potatoes) or some schnitz und knepp?
Off to the restaurant for Monday's special. Pork and sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, applesauce, and a big piece of either shoofly pie or lemon sponge pie. I haven't yet decided which...

Oh Moose, you sweet lady. No, I wasnt trying to be snarky! I seriously wanted an opinion on whether or not I can give my breads and proclaim them 'homemade'. I love my bread machine and my sis in law teases me that my poor hubby cant 'get a loaf in edgewise' with his jalapenos and beer and cheese concotions for Sunday
football.
Tucker's Mom, thanks for the feed back! My house DOES smell heavenly. The other night I set the timer so it would be fresh and hot at 6A when we got up, but the aroma woke us up at 5 during the baking. I forgot why I dont use the timer, now I remember!
OK, when I give my breads, I will announce them as homemade, as sanctioned by 15 Minutes. :)
I guess nobody is going to make a Pennsylvania Dutch-person out of you!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I've not had that much of Dutch food. But I'm german and I have had my share of brat and kraut so the concept of kraut with meat isn't new to me. I do have a question, do most people cook pork and kraut together in the same pot? I warm up the kraut separately before adding to the finished dish. I've also seen it done this way in some restaurants. For some reason, I keep thinking the sourness and 3 jars for just 9 chops doesn't cut it for me.
This is off topic, but has anyone seen the latest modeling pics of the 2 younger Kardashian/Jenner girls? I am not sure but I think they are 14 and 16. This. Is. Just. Gross.

I posted a reply about 'homemade' bread from the bread machine, but it has been deleted. May I just say that no, I wasnt attempting deliberate snark, I was seriously asking? Thanks.
LB, pork and kraut go in the same pot, but you really do need apples to cut the sour.
Dwindle, Kris Jenner is a momager pimp. I watched her on I don't know what show- forget who was interviewing her, but anyways, she's just bought herself a Bently to reward herself for getting one of her kids some major deal.
How much money do these people need?

###################
A bread machine kneads and bakes the bread, but (usually) the cook has to measure the ingredients, so I think the bread counts as "homemade", since there's no mix involved. We make 5 Minute Artisan bread (google for directions or info about the book). It's just as easy as bread machine bread, but incredibly better. Five minutes of mixing, either by hand or machine for amazing bread.
That's "homemade" for sure, but even five minutes of mixing sounds like more work than Mrs. Gosselin is willing to put in for her kids. "Homemade" in her wonky vocabulary undoubtedly means "somehow made it into the house".
It wouldn't surprise me that Kate is demanding to have the kids for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Anything to deprive Jon of time with his kids. However, I'd be skeptical of anything from Hollybaby, since they reported that Kate left the kids with Jon while she was gallavanting half-way 'round the world and didn't rescind it when Jon, and now Kate, deny this. They even continue to cite her leaving the kids with Jon as justification (hers) for having the kids for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. BTW -- does anyone remember when Jon had the kids around the Christmas holiday last year? I'm thinking it was the week before, since Kate whisked them away to Aus. right after. Also, BTW -- I notice someone coopted my screen name to comment on Hollybaby. Not me, although I don't have a problem with what was said.
readerlady
Didn't she have the kids last Thanksgiving, or was that another "fake" Thanksgiving just for filming or for the Indian photo op? I thought they were supposed to alternate years for the holidays.
Dwindle -- I keep forgetting to answer your question re bread machine bread. Yes, I consider that to be homemade. If it was measured/mixed/combined and then baked at home, it's homemade. I consider those Pillsbury loaves, or the frozen dough loaves that you allow to raise and then bake to be "like" homemade.
readerlady
I saw this on Preesi and wondered why a big fan had turned against Kate. (One by one, Kate will lose them all.)
Remember BigFanofK8G? She’s a “big fan of Kate G” no more! Merette at Preesi said it was the real "Big Fan" because it was the same screen name, which can't be duplicated.
I scrolled through to see how this turnaround came. Big Fan got mad Nov. 6 when she realized Kate had blocked her. I believe Kate blocked Big Fan because Big Fan was conversing with hater Underwalt. Nothing about Kate, just general chitchat. Who says Kate doesn't read everything?

I love kraut and Pork! I always get a large size pork roast and either a bag of kraut or 2 bags. Honestly people, kraut shrinks down alot when cooked in the crock pot for that amount of time and really isn't that much when you have 9 people supposedly eating it. I always add a apple and a little brown sugar. I don't understand all the fuss over 5 1/2 hours cooking it, especially if its on low. I've done it a hundred times in 30 years of cooking. I am NO Kate lover for sure, but sometimes it just gets so out of hand here. Geeze! Oh, and I would never precook my onions if it was going in the crock pot.

holidays: Didn't they make an agreement in divorce that one gets them for all holidays during odd numbered years and other during even no. years? Jon had them on Easter so I was under the impression that he would have them for T-day and Xmas. I am getting skeptical that Hollybaby reports truth tho'.
As for homemade, who knows where she got it. Amish around here sell homemade. Plus our local truck stop is advertising "homemade pie". I know because of health dept rules they can't get it from a homeowner's kitchen without it being inspected, so in my eyes, made from scratch in a restaurant kitchen is not homemade.

I know nothing about Twitter. How could she tell that she was blocked?
Kate blocked me, this summer, for kindly telling her to spell correctly so she could be a good example to her younger fans. How I knew that I had been blocked is when I looked at her profile on my Twitter app on my iPod Touch, it showed that I didn't follow her. If I tried to select 'follow' it would revert back to 'unfollow'.
She's says her new blog is up at Coupon Cabin, but I don't see it. The site even says it will run tomorrow---not today.
Barb in Nebraska....How does a former Kate follower feel about her now? Just curious.
ricksmom
tate: She just wants people to go to the page about her first day blogging at CC, it isn't her first blog. I thought that at first too.
Oh and Barb, Welcome!
Thanks Ingrid--that's kind of what I thought after I wrote on here.
Oh! I was never a fan of Kates. I just wanted to follow her Tweets to see what she says. I think that 99% of her followers are the same as me.
I took it as a 'Badge of Honor' that Kate has blocked me! That little ole' me, a Catholic school teacher, was blocked by Kate. I could never tweet to Kate again! (eye roll)
It doesn't make a difference. I can still read her tweets since her profile is public. Or, I can read her tweets on the top of this page.
Thanks for your answer! Sometimes I fail to look at all the posters name so I wasn't sure if you posted here and were of fan of hers. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :)

I've not had that much of Dutch food. But I'm german and I have had my share of brat and kraut so the concept of kraut with meat isn't new to me. I do have a question, do most people cook pork and kraut together in the same pot? I warm up the kraut separately before adding to the finished dish. I've also seen it done this way in some restaurants. For some reason, I keep thinking the sourness and 3 jars for just 9 chops doesn't cut it for me.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I like to use a pork roast and canned kraut. I rinse the kraut before putting it into the roasting pan with the pork to cut the saltiness. I guess the idea is to cook them together to meld the flavors. I do not add an apple, applesauce or onions. It is strictly meat and saurkraut. I personally like to do it in the oven for a couple hours as I like mine browned a bit. Husband likes it in the crock pot which is OK too.
Here in Berks County it is thought to be good luck to eat pork and saurkraut on New Year's Day. Putting it over some good mashed potatoes makes it complete. Maybe some applesauce on the side.

Heather I don't think you have to have a trainer. I think for safety reasons though you should have some kind of guidance, as I suggested another way is a running book or a runners club.
Judging by all the mistakes Kate has openly made, from nutrition to not training enough to signing up for a race in a different climate and elevation, it's obvious to me she hasn't tried any of those.
------------------------
I just wanted to follow up in responding to Heather's comment from this morning about Khate's running. No, a trainer certainly is not necessary, but it has been more than obvious from Khate's tweets that she has done ZERO research about running and marathon prep, whether that be online, books, talking to fellow runners, etc.
In fact, on more than one occasion, she has been surprised to learn of tips from other tweeters, such as fuel intake, gels, etc. She used to talk about avoiding carbs, said she likes pizza but won't eat it, commented with surprise that a a runner tweetie was having spaghetti, but now that runner tweeties have set her straight, she claims to love "carb-loading", it's the best part of running. She is just so full of it. She really has NO clue about ANYTHING!
As far as the 20 mile run, Khate did NOT know that she should be tapering off prior to a marathon. When a tweetie mentioned it this weekend, Khate replied "not one more 20? I had planned one more late in the week??! No?" That's would be late in this week, as in one week prior to the marathon.
Why Kate brags about not having any guidance is beyond me. Would Michael Phelps brag he doesn't have a coach? That makes no sense. Help is a good thing.
*****
I fully understand your point, Admin, however...
The day we start comparing Michael Phelps and his chest full of Olympic Gold medals with Kate Gosselin lumbering along on a run with no goal besides finishing the race .... it's like comparing apples and the Lincoln Memorial.
What I do like maybe once, twice a year, during the summer at a baseball game or picnic? A sausage dog on a crispy high quality sub roll (not the packaged hotdog cheap soggy stuff) topped with a bunch of sauerkraut and roasted peppers and onions. Divine.
Craving it!

@kateplusmy8 K8 just blocked me!

I know nothing about Twitter. How could she tell that she was blocked?

Kate blocked me, this summer, for kindly telling her to spell correctly so she could be a good example to her younger fans. How I knew that I had been blocked is when I looked at her profile on my Twitter app on my iPod Touch, it showed that I didn't follow her. If I tried to select 'follow' it would revert back to 'unfollow'.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Yes, Big Fan said that was how she knew, too. How weird to still have the name "Big Fan" and be a "Big Enemy"!
P.S. Good for you, Barb, for correcting Miss Perfect Speller and Grammar. LOL!

Same here. I was blocked when I pointed out after Pizzagate that when Steve calls dibs on leftover pizza in bed, only Kate can hear him. Yeah, I know it was a little mean.
I can still tweet to her. It just doesn't show that I follow her. I hardly ever tweet to anyone though, so it doesn't matter to me.

Are we related? Check my post at 7:37 a.m.! No onions and no apples. I like mine browned a bit, too.
I forgot to add that when we eat it, the mashed potatoes go on the plate first, with the pork and kraut (and juice) on top of the potatoes. Thanks for the reminder!
Is anyone watching DWTS? Why are the judges falling all over Kardashian? He's okay, but he screwed up his footwork tonight, and he still got a perfect 30.
I am on a gourmet sandwich kick right now, basically put any kind of topping on really high quality bakery artisan bread. Quite frankly however any combination of this pork and sauerkraut sounds lovely on some thick, toasted bread.
By the way, when I was having a lot of stomach problems--cramps, aches, etc., which was ultimately caused by a bacterial infection? Sauerkraut juice (yes, you can buy it in juice form look it up online) was the only thing that gave me some temporarily relief. It is supposed to be very good for digestion problems. Did it taste horrible? Oh yes. But tummy was so soothed by it.
The plan is pasta tonight, I need to get into that frame of mind!
I do love hearing what others eat as traditional food. At our house, pork chops were simply baked in the oven and served with a simple vegetable and maybe some potatoes of some sort. No kraut, ever, with any meal. Never heard of apples and pork chops either until I was an adult.
But some of you may have never eaten Hot Browns or Derby Pie on a regular basis. Or Benedictine! Oh my, the best chip dip or sandwich filler ever! I might have to go make some very soon....... Christmas is coming, and at our house, it was a Christmas and Derby must-have.
Give me more of your regional cooking talk. I'll never fix it, but I love hearing about it. Thanks.

We could be related ;) But honestly I think that's just how we do it around these parts. And YES! on the mashed potatoes down first and kraut and juice on top!
I am in eastern Berks. My husband's grandmother is PA Dutch and will be 103 years old in March. She has tried to teach me to cook but her recipes go like this: A hunk of butter, a handful of flour...you get the idea. But I can make a mean batch of chicken pot pie!
I've made kraut and pork - great use for leftover pork roast. I usually saute an onion just a little then add the kraut and pork. Usually rinse half of the jar and being German/Polish we add a few caraway seeds. I like a can of mushrooms (like mom used to add) but my son hates mushrooms. Never had it served with potatoes but maybe rye bread. The Polish side would do a side of pierogis. Kate's only using boneless chops so 9 aren't that big and the kraut just falls all around them so I think standard crock pot would work. And knowing her kid serving size, they are probably almost paper thin. She really doesn't give any helpful shopping hints like buy a boneless center cut pork loin and cut the chops yourself. I can get a loin on sale for 1.99 lb.
I've made bread at Xmas Time - German Stollen w/ my kitchenaid mixer. I've wanted a bread machine, but just something else to store.
Oh my gosh, kate's first blog is pathetic. There is literally no blogging at all, just a 'look at the good deals I found and enjoy' list followed by links to the deals. That is hee haw funny! Does she do anything right or well? Never mind...
Reading Resident - I'm in western Berks (Sinking Spring). I love chicken pot pie. Took me years to figure out my PA Dutch grandmother's recipe which actually used an egg shell to measure milk for the pot pie dough. As they say around here, if you ain't Dutch you ain't much.
Does anyone have a link to Kate's CC first blog post?

We love pork and sauerkraut around here. My husband's family puts raw chopped onion on theirs (yuck), and my Dad used to put ketchup on top of his (double yuck), but hey to each his own.
Love reading about all of the regional foods, too.

JR is ten times better than Rob, yet they are tearing JR apart tonight and treating Rob with kids' gloves. So unfair.
Maybe they are using reverse psychology and trying to get people to feel sorry for JR ( by bashing him ) so they will vote for him.
Rob has improved a great deal, but not enough to win it over JR.
Tuckers mom, I found the blog link on kate's blog. I couldn't care less about giving herb pathetic blog a hit. Sorry though, I am on vacation and am on my hubbiys iPad and I am horrible on this and thus far incapable of cutting and pasting a link. You can probably find it on twazzup too, as her haterz are probably already having a field day with it and rightfully so!
Ugh, panning to the Kardashian clan every 5 minutes was irritating tonight! Rob did great, but JR is a better dancer. I'd rate them JR, Rickki and then Rob.
I saw Kirsty Ally sitting next to her old partner, Maks. They seemed to be quite chummy and yet Kate has not even once mentioned DWTS and her old partner, Tony. I guess he is just another person in her life that left her.

He's klutzy and cannot compete with the other two. Yes, he has improved, but oh, my goodness, he looks like stiff soldier out there, and yet, the judges are sucking up to him like he's a female Nicole Scherzinger. Jr has rhythm; Rob looks like a mechanical toy.
Sorry for the rant. I just don't understand it.
Kate is setting the record straight? I feel a media blitz coming on. Ring, ring... hello, Kate Coyne.
I also love to hear about others traditional food. I grew up in the south - our pork chops were fried. With gravy, lots and lots of gravy. LOL We did have spare ribs with sauerkraut once or twice, but I've never heard of serving it with mashed potatoes. Now I'm going to have to try it!

@caylward79 my babysitter had them except for 24hrs &we all wish he would take them more than his chosen custody Xs! Would b great for all!
Why why why isn't Jon in court right now to get her to SHUT UP. I know he has to pick his battles, but not publically discussing private business would be a battle worth fighting!
I have read people wanting to say the children are off tv and they will be happy. Well that has happened and apparently they are not happy , what gives?
--------------------
Could it be because they still don't have any privacy? Take a look at her blog. Photos, personal stories about the kids. Take a look at her Twitter. Take a look at how she is bashing her children's father in a public forum.
Those kids are never going to have any peace as long as Kate is their mother. I guess nobody figured that once the kids are off television it wouldn't be the end of it. We figured wrong. She's leaving those kids for extended periods of time, doing what SHE wants to do, on their money. Can we be happy about that? Not in a million...
Setting the record straight = throwing Jon under the bus for the 1000th time, explaining why she needs Steve with her when she travels, denying (once again) any plastic surgery, explaining that she loves her kids and that everything she does is "for them". In other words - LIES.
She is truly unbelievable. She has no right to discuss any of this.
Besides that? Two sides to every story. Two freaking sides to every story.
Possible scenarios? Maybe if Kate didn't bleed Jon dry for every dime possible he wouldn't have to work so hard and so much and could be more available to his kids. Maybe he's trying to do what is best for them and make sure they are in the same house during the schoolweek and not shuffled back and forth constantly like you play catch with a baseball. Maybe he can't get the child support to budge and cannot afford to pay both child support and pay for all the kids' needs and a babysitter when he has to work when they are with him like what happened to a friend of a local here. Maybe he's tired of playing Kate's games and now that she wants him to have the children more just when it's convenient for her, he's not falling for it. Maybe the kids prefer to be at the McMansion and he wants to respect what they want.
There are two sides, and I'm not asking Jon to explain himself. Only that Kate shut up about it.
first off, I wasn't on vacation lol,

She's getting testy again. She always goes off on someone before a good breakdown.
Man, she is having a world class TANTRUM! Doesn't this woman have ANY self-control?
I tried making homemade bread for years and while I am a very accomplished cook, I couldn't seem to get them to come out right. I considered a bread machine cheating. But I finally gave in and bought one about a year ago and boy, do I love it. And the smell is HEAVENLY. When I make a loaf of white, it disappears within a day or two, tops. My Swedish rye is my husband's favorite, I'm making a loaf of white and a loaf of rye tomorrow to go in my dressing Thursday.
Anyway, the meals Kate blogs about sure are heavy on starch.
Holy crap, she is really flipping her shit tonight. She wasn't on vacation?? What? Hey Steve, do your 'advisor' job and tell your GF to STFU.
The tweeter she responded to testily I have no clue why she bothered. He looks to just be some rogue tweeter just saying whatever to various celebs not just her, and made some rude comment to her I can't repeat.
It's not like the guy has been harassing her all the time, it was one or two tweets. Let it go and he'll move on.
She has such little self control it would be very hard to imagine someone with such little discipline being able to train properly for a marathon.
I don't see her blog up it's not up yet that i can see.
Whoooo I just noticed she's going off discussing private custody matters to the world on twitter again.
So it appears Jon sticks to the custody agreement--GOOD FOR HIM.
What a piece of work she is. And I'm being nice in my wording.
By the way if she flips out on a tweeter for one or two mean comments, imagine what she's like to kids who are trying her patience daily as kids tend to do.

*********************************************
Geez, it's like middle school drama all over again! I swear her brain never left the 7th grade. This attitude, yeah, that's a mature way to respond...rolling eyes. She is so ridiculous.
She has breakdowns over the dumbest thing and like a middle school girl trying to be popular she takes it out on anyone she feels like.
I'm scared for her kids. This is how they are going to learn to deal with conflicts and things that displease them? Oh boy...truly and utterly sad.
As for Hollybaby she has zero credibility at this point. While her source may very well have told her those things, her source is wrong. When both Kate and Jon are saying what she said was wrong, she's lost me.
There is no other celebrity that I know of (not that she's a celebrity, but more of a known person on the way out) that twitters to people like this. It's insane.
RT @Kimi_k8 I don't think its talking badly if she just answers peoples questions. It hurts 2 B lied about. EXACTLY about a minute ago
**************
Oh good lord. All she had to say was Hollybaby's information was incorrect. But use couldnt stop there. She then went on to say how long Jon had them which is none of anyone's f-ing business, said he asked for them and then later claimed she asked him, and that he refused them more, and she also added that she wishes he would take them more. And a day later is STILL talking about it. If you MUST set the record straight (and why this article and not the 100's of others, because it's Jon and it's a good opportunity to trash him?) you don't have to go as far as she did.
That is HARDLY setting the record straight that is a royal under the bus throwing. There is a difference between setting the record straight and stomping all over them. She did both.
Ah, I get it. This is two nights in a row she's had twitter tantrums and it's two nights in a row she's had the kids.
Shouldn't have had so many kids then run off their dad if you can't handle them, Kate.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
BINGO!
What Kate doesn't understand is that simply saying Jon refused to take the kids more than 24 hours without saying WHY is completely and utterly unfair. Because we never get to hear exactly WHY from his standpoint, only hers.
There could have been a dozen good reasons he couldn't take the kids more during the time, not the least of which was because he was working. And she doesn't even give them the tiniest benefit of the doubt, well, I know he is working a lot BUT I wish he would take them more, or SOMETHING.
But she implies it was because he didn't want them, which is incredibly uncalled for even if true. Her children's father. Her children's FATHER.
And all this from a woman who has left them dozens upon dozens of days just this fall.
Realitytvkids.com (Administrator) said...

$$$$$$$$$$
And it's probably exactly what she tells the kids, too. "So sad, your daddy doesn't want you."
And when Jon does knock off work to take the kids and then cannot afford his next child support payment, Kate will tell them Daddy doesn't love you because he doesn't want to pay for you to have nice things.
God it must be hell to divorce a narcissist.

Didn't Jon get hauled into court over his use of Twitter involving the kids? Didn't Kate freak out about that? Or am I wrong here?
I will never understand how she has become this "thing that cannot be touched," it's like nobody wants to knocked her down a few notches. What does she have over these people that they won't come forward and do what they did to Jon? Obviously not under contract anymore...but something!
Quick someone bait her with a good freebie and see if she pops out of the rabbit hole gain.
My friend won a flat screen in a raffle the other week she really doesn't need. Maybe she would donate. I know how Kate hates standard definition.
YES Marie hypocrite Kate tried to hold Jon in contempt for discussing the case.
Since this happened right after she got back from Austarlia, it was widely speculated here she did this to retaliate against him for trying to stop the trip:
It turns out that Kate is filing for Contempt because Jon has purportedly violated the parties' custody order that prohibits both parties from discussing the case. Kate alleges that Jon is in contempt because he is purportedly selling information about the case and tweeting his displeasure of the Judge's prior decisions.She is requesting that the judge to modify the custody agreement to protect the children.
Maybe someone could ask her why what she is doing is different than what Jon did. She's allowed to say she doesn't like the custody arrangement, but he isn't? I get it now. NOT.

Can't ANYONE make her shut up? What in the world is wrong with this woman? Can't Jon go to court and hit her with a gag order?
Isn't it interesting that the only people she has left in this world are intellectually inferior strangers - a$$ kissers extraordinaire who, in their fantasy world, believe that they are intimate friends with a celebrity? They are delusional enough to believe that she will reveal her deepest darkest secrets to them in confidence. They think that they are her sounding board, and in a sense, they are because nobody else would listen or believe her.
How much more pathetic could this possibly get?

So is Kate admitting that she chose to go on this "working" vacation during her custody time? So Jon is sticking to his custody schedule, like some people here are suggesting he do.
Scheduling a long "working" vacation on your custody time is worse than the other parent not wanting to take them. This Australian trip wasn't paid work. Was it really important that you had to leave your kids with a babysitter for more than a week? If the roles were reversed, Kate and her fans would be outraged that Jon would miss his custody time to travel to Australia instead of being with his kids.
"Isn't it interesting that the only people she has left in this world are intellectually inferior strangers . . ."
On the contrary, I think the only people she has left in this world are her peers, if you get my drift. Something's up. Could it be that Jon is filing charges against her again? Or is that too much to hope for.
Admin -- a friend of mine raised an interesting question the other day. Could it be that a judge has ordered Jon to stop filing for custody amendments, possibly on pain of losing what little custody he has? Could that
possibly be the reason that he hasn't tried to take any action lately?
readerlady
". . .Kate and her fans would be outraged that Jon would miss his custody time to travel to Australia rather than be with his kids."
Kate and her fans were outraged that Jon was in NYC on his NON-custody time instead of being with his children. Yet Kate gets a free pass, as always.

Yes, but they are still strangers. She's setting the record straight with strangers. How weird is that?
Something definitely set her off tonight. Happy about the piano one minute; off on a tweeting frenzy the next. I wonder what happened, or was it the booze talking?
Jon also went off to France, for WORK, for his endorsement with Ed Hardy, and was blasted for it. But it's fine and dandy for Kate to take off to Australia and screw around at some charity event and hug a few wild animals that would claw her eyes out if not sedated. And then expect Jon to pick up her slack and take over kid duties while she follows her dreams.
Another possibility for Jon? He might be wanting to send Kate a strong message for a bit here--"you wanted this, you got it." As in you wanted the eight kids and all the fame and fortune that came with them, you figure out what to do with them when you take off out of the country to help a failing zoo.
She cracks me up how she goes on these Twitter rampages....LOL.
And this little gem:
"@PhlebGrl70 first off, I wasn't on vacation lol, and second, my babysitter, as usual when I travel..."
I wasn't on vacation? Bwhahahahahahahaha
She is something else. It certainly wasn't for "work", and she seemed to have a nice relaxing time with her boyfriend without the kids. So, yeah, it WAS a vacation you twit!
Somebody please, either slap her or take the box of wine away from her.
She wants Jon to have them more because she simply cannot manage the stress of parenting 8 demanding, undisciplined children.
Well, guess what, Kate? They are this way because you made them this way. Your cold, narcissistic parenting style has left them emotionally needy.
These kids love her. She's the only mom they know. She has left them too often for long periods with sitters. This leaves them sad and insecure. When she is home, she acts like a shrill dictator, leaving them angry and with no control. They fight constantly because their needs are not being met!
I think their behavior is going to become uncontrollable.
I have a bad feeling about this.... said...

So sad, so true. Her meltdowns are a symptom of problems that are only going to escalate.
She's just despicable. Those poor kids.
I have feeling courts must have this leniency with mother's versus father's when they go to court for their kids, on whatever the matter. Nine times out of ten you see custody go to the mother. But I'm sorry just because she gave birth doesn't mean she can call herself a mom, isn't that someone who pays attention, takes care of the kids, loves them, etc? No Kate gives them to babysitters.
Is there something wrong that the court don't see it fit to give custody to father's for some reason? Are they not capable just as mother's? Emotionally attached and all that stuff too?
I sit here shaking my head at this, but then I have to ask myself why I'm still surprised at her behavior. She is a truly miserable and vile person.
Last night, when I was looking through her tweets over the last two months, these tweets stood out:

-----------------------------------------
That's a lot of public bashing in less than two months, (October 4th to November 21st). Also, I included her tweets about PREFERRING to be AWAY from the kids two weeks a month! That would be "her choice", if she could get a job that had her away from home every other week. She's admitting that she would like it if a "babysitter" was all alone at the house raising the kids TWO weeks out of the month!
Also, as we've said before, isn't it funny how the "babysitter" can be all alone with eight kids day and night, but when Khate's there, she needs the sitter with her for four days a week? What is that, Monday through Thursday for a few hours after school? Help in the morning probably too. So, she has them all alone for two weekends a month and maybe every other Friday afternoon on her" weekends?
I seriously hope that Jon has his attorney working on this. If I were his attorney, I would actually have a law clerk at my firm in charge of monitoring her tweets and documenting all of it. Also, each and every interview (print and television) needs to be checked and documented. A very good case could be built just going back from about a year ago, actually I think it was September 2010 when she bashed him on Regis and Kelly. That's when she lied about waiting for the kids to call saying they want to come home from Jon's house. Just going back to that date all the way to today, there is SO much in TV interviews, print interviews, and on Twitter. Any attorney would LOVE such an easy case. We usually don't get such good evidence directly from the horse's mouth like this.
Could that
possibly be the reason that he hasn't tried to take any action lately?
********************************************
I hope that TMZ is not the only source of the court info re: Jon.
What excuse could Jon possibly have for not shutting this bitch down? What about the child endangerment under the vehicle issue? Or leaving the kids in the car?
Can anyone shed light on this? I'm starting to lose hope that Jon is taking this crap from her seriously.
He might be wanting to send Kate a strong message for a bit here--"you wanted this, you got it."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Good Lord, I hope not. That isn't very productive for the children. Isn't Jon better than that?
Jesus Mary and Admin! Is it possible to get a new thread? xoxo

Sooooooo....
Kate left the kids for, what, ten days? And she has the gall to gripe that Jon only took them for 24 hours? Seems neither one of them really want the kids anymore. Kate seems miserable when she has them, and from what she implies, Jon doesn't prefer to have them either. I love how he doesn't play her tit-for-tat childish games though, but man I wish he'd defend himself sometimes. Oh my God, he was married to the most miserable bitter shrew on this planet for ten freakin' years! Poor guy. I wish some people could understand that she mentally and emotionally abused him and that is why he had his little(big) life crisis and did all that nutty stuff. Thank God Ellen seems to have brought him back to earth and he regained his senses. He's a much bigger person than I am, because if that hag was trashing me on Twitter to a bunch of lunatics, I wouldn't be able to stay quiet.
Both parents are shit. Plain and simple and good luck to both of the Ass's!
A 21 and 40 yr. old men died yesterday during the marathons in Philadelphia yesterday. Both died near the finish line. And the 21 yr. old only did a half marathon. Very sad.
I can't STAND Kate Gosselin but vilifying her does not automatically elevete Jon to hero status. He MAY NOT WANT additonal custody of his kids anymore than she wants to fulfill her obligations to them. Neither one of them did those children any favours by having them. They don't want to look after those children. I don't see any evidence that he wants to have them any more than he already does. His past behaviour indicates that he is nearly as selfish as she is.

#####################
The Ass's what? What belongs to them? What do they own?
We have no idea what goes on in Jon's head as to his true motivations to the kids no more than we have any idea what goes on in his Kate's head. For all we know she wants to dump the kids on Jon so she can go off and live her lifestyle, rather than any true feelings that they should see their father. That said I doubt Jon would have gone to as many hearings as he had if he were content with only a 1-3-5 weekend. Why not just accept it and move on? Instead he went again and again.
The point is it is not good for the children for either of them to continue to drag the other through the mud. That's the point. I don't care if Jon is the worst father of the year, certainly Kate has made her fair share of worst mother lists, it's beside the point. Parental alienation is real, it is harmful, it is dangerous, it can mess up children for life.
I usually don't post Jon's tweets, but please allow this exception just once. I think his tweet earlier tonight, replying to a sheeple tweet, is what set Khate off tonight (and yes, I do think she has a way of reading his tweets):
loriann_1 loriann
@Twtr_is_4_Twits @jongosselin1 @Kateplusmy8 @MiloandJack And how is that throwing him under the bus if it is the truth that he took them?
Nov. 20th, 8:29PM
jongosselin1 Jon Gosselin
@loriann_1 She did not "leave them in my care". I took them for sometime when I didn't have to work at my jobs during week.
Nov. 21st, 6:40PM
------------------
I think THAT is what set Khate off tonight because she thinks that SHE cleared it all up with her tweets on Saturday night. She thinks SHE can tweet all she wants, but she's pissed that JON "set the record straight" for once.
Note that Jon said he has jobS, plural. It's a damn shame these two can't work things out for the sake of the kids. If Khate is going to travel during the week and leave them with a sitter, it might actually be best for the kids to stay in their house during the school week, but allow Jon to stay there also so they are at least with a parent while one is a half a world away. I can't even imagine how it would feel at that age to be home for ten days with a sitter when one of my parents is nearby and most likely willing to be there but the other parent treats him like the enemy, rather than a co-parent.
Btw, that CJ sheeple nutcase tweeted Jon several times this afternoon, linking to a brief video clip where an INF guy bothered Jon while he was out to lunch with a coworker, and he tried to get Jon to talk about Blankenship. CJ was all snarky to Jon and he finally answered her with one tweet. I can post her tweets if anyone wants me to.
So it's a he said she said pissing match. I'm not even going to blame Kate for starting it, Hollybaby started it with her bogus source.
Just as I suspected in one of my scenarios, Jon says he has to WORK. If he doesn't WORK, then he can't PAY his CHILD SUPPORT and then KATE, will take him to COURT. The man has his hands tied in a way even Houdini couldn't escape. How does it make any sense whatsoever for him to take the children when he is working and it's not his custody time and pay for childcare? Will Kate offer to reduce his child support payment for those extra days? Yeah didn't think so.
Of course Kate conveniently leaves out that Jon had to work. Only that he wouldn't take them. She may play innocent like oh we wish he could take him more but it is because he can't work I never said it wasn't.....whatever Kate.
Stick to the schedule, Jon. Stick to the schedule. You're getting good advice.

Dee said...
I have a bad feeling about this.... said...
She wants Jon to have them more because she simply cannot manage the stress of parenting 8 demanding, undisciplined children.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Dee, I don't think the kids are undisciplined as we've seen how harsh Kate can be when they piss her off, and how many ridiculous rules and punishments she has, sometimes simply for being alive. I think the root cause of their unruly behavior is learned...from their parents. That's all they've known. All they've seen modeled for them ( mainly by their mother ) is temper tantrums, bad moods, yelling and bashing others. They watched their mother hit their father and disrespect him like nobody's business, and it carried over to them doing the same to their teachers and classmates. They think it's normal behavior because mommy does it. ( I will say, I don't believe all of them are this way. Especially sweet little Joel. I think that's why he whined so much and glazed over when he was younger, because he knew he was stuck with a whackadoo mother for 18 years ). Anyway, I truly believe Jon and Kate are mostly to blame for how several of the kids developed these bad behaviors. Not that they are undisciplined, because Lord knows they are probably way way over disciplined, but have nobody at home to model how they are supposed to behave.
And I 110% agree. She cannot manage 8 kids without melting down. She's just not cut out for it but is stuck doing it. She is the last person on the planet who has any business having 8 kids because she just can't handle it. As long as she comes first and all her needs are met first, she will never ever have enough time to devote to the kids without flipping out. Carving out 20 hours a day for Kate and 3 hours for eight kids will only continue to fluster her.

Dude, where did I get a 23 hour day from? I meant 4 hours for the kids and 20 for Kate.
That said I doubt Jon would have gone to as many hearings as he had if he were content with only a 1-3-5 weekend. Why not just accept it and move on? Instead he went again and again.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you have court dates? I wouldn't mind a refresher.
What do the Ass's own? Their shame.
If the parent with no real job who has primary physical custody CHOOSES to leave her children for days at a time in the care of a paid babysitter, how in the world can anyone reasonably expect the other parent, who apparently works more than one job, the kind where you are expected to show up to get paid, to assume care of these children? Especially when the parent who comes and go as she pleases has such little regard for the father of her children he is not allowed on her property? It seems just that simple to me. And yes, looks like the truth set her off tonight. Effing piece of work.
Jon has every right to not take the kids when its not his time. He will have to pay for child care, food, and other little incidentals that pop up. The child care alone will cause him financial difficulty. Kate would not reduce the child support payments to reflect the fact that he did take the kids for 10 days. Its harsh to say that he has a right to not take the kids but its true at this point. Its also makes sense legally. Jon needs to show the courts that he is respecting the courts decisions.
I dont think Jon is the parent of the year but I do think he is vastly better then Kate. I wish he would stop with the twitter pissing match with Kate. He is letting her control his emotions right now. He needs to stop letting her control them. If she controls his emotions then she controls him.
Btw, that CJ sheeple nutcase...
**********
I think that's putting it kindly. That one needs years of therapy before she's even treatable. Curable? Forget it.
So Jon works at a job which makes it difficult to take extra time with the kids. Fair enough.
What is getting my dander up is him allowing Kate to treat his children in all these dangerous situation brought to light recently.
Add the custody twitters from Kate and Jon should have a very legitimate reason to go back to court. Surely he's not ok with her reckless parenting.
IMO, Jon needs a new lawyer. The one he has is apparantly doing nothing.
WTF jon?
The sheeple are in attack mode right now, trying to deflect from Khate's horrible behavior. They are so predictable. They think they're so clever, but it's just pathetically sad the lengths they will go to in order to protect this piece of crap narcissist who probably wouldn't even bother to spit on them if they were on fire.
She wanted full custody of the kids when they were still making her money.
Now she flies halfway around the world just to get away from them. Now she bitches all the time about how little Jon has them.
Didn't we all predict this would happen when the show was canceled? I'm just surprised its happening so quickly. She does tire of the little moneymakers when they aren't so much moneymakers and more of a huge responsibility, doesn't she? No TLC crew to manage and feed the kids anymore, huh Kate?
I agree 100% with Jon sticking to what was determined in court. I understand working parents have custody of their kids and do just fine but it seems what she wants to do is just dump them on him whenever she wants to. That wouldn't fly with me, either, especially after she fought so hard to get the custody arrangement now in place (again, done when they were making money for her).
And I smell lanolin around here.
I wish he would stop with the twitter pissing match with Kate. He is letting her control his emotions right now. He needs to stop letting her control them. If she controls his emotions then she controls him.
----------------
I couldn't disagree with you more. He hardly ever tweets, even when the sheeple try to bait him. He goes long stretches of time without tweeting and when he does tweet, it's usually just a few tweets and it is not about Khate at all.
The tweet that I posted is very rare for him and it was ONE tweet. I do not see it at all that he's in "a pissing match" with her or "letting her control his emotions." He simply responded to a tweet in a matter of fact way and that was it. Khate is the one who is out of control and an emotional wreck.
In case anyone's interested, here's the Google cached shot of today's "Menu Monday", posted earlier. She actually took photos during the cooking stages for a change. Gee, I wonder how long it will be before she tires of doing that?
Google snapshot - Pork and Sauerkraut
I would have made that recipe a bit differently, as some others mentioned. I buy sauerkraut in the bag and I always rinse it well. Also, as others said, 96 ounces of sauerkraut for nine boneless pork chops? That sure sounds like a lot. I'm not sure Khate even knows what it means to "carmelize" the onions, because that takes a while on low heat, and they would be so soft that putting them in the crockpot for several hours would make them almost disappear. I don't even think that recipe needs a crockpot. Just brown and cook the pork chops, saute the onions, then add the rinsed and drained sauerkraut to them. The kraut will cook in a few minutes and it would taste good if cooked in the pan with the onions. Then, just add the pork back in to warm it back up. That's a dinner I would be able to make in about ten minutes. I just do not see any need for the crock pot with those ingredients.
Also, I just find it hard to believe that ALL eight kids love all of her recipes so much. I doubt there's a parent alive who will tell you that 2, 3, or 4 kids ALL equally enjoy most dinners. With eight, I just don't see how they all like the same thing ALL the time.
After looking through the tweets from what I gather, she wanted Jon to keep the kids the entire 10 days that she was gone so she wouldn't have to pay a baby sitter. She put Jon in the position to have to take a 9 to 5 job. He is most likely living paycheck to paycheck while she is living large off the kids. He has to make those child support payments no matter what as long as it is on the record. She has made a fortune off the kids and gets pissed if she thinks he even made a dime. As she herself said his $1000 a month barely covers snacks for school lunches so how is supposed to feed them and hire a sitter for 10 days and pay her child support. When you can afford a body guard, why whine about a baby sitter. When you live paycheck to paycheck there is no margin for taking on any additional expense. She is just doing the court thing so he will have to be out money for an attorney, because she is mad. Those poor kids. What a nightmare their little lives must be. As bad as I thought she was before she has proven herself to 10 times worse than I ever imagined. The twitter is very revealing. I hope Jon is taking screen shots before they disappear. It is a good thing she is in the public eye - there is no telling what it would be like otherwise for the kids.
Kate's pork and sauerkraut recipe doesn't sound that great to me but that'a just me. I was born and raised in a small Pennsylvania town with a large Mennonite community. To begin with I would never use pork chops. I always use a pork roast which I do brown and season first. I always, always rinse my kraut first and then add a few apple slices and chicken broth.I have put it in the crockpot but prefer a slow roast in the oven. If I am having a big party for dinner I later add hotdogs and kielbassi. It has to be served with mashed potatoes, applesauce, a veggie, and bisquits. It's a New Years day tradition for my family. Why in the world Kate would choose this recipe the week of Thanksgiving is beyond me but nothing she does surprises me. It's a Kate world and Kate makes the rules.
Kate's CouponCabin Black Friday post is up. It is highly edited because their are not many exclamation points! It's a blog post about her and the hugs and thank yous she gets from her kids for the gifts she buys them. Then at the end, she add deals that CouponCabin has for Black Friday. She also reminds us to stay tuned to her running of the Las Vegas Marathon.
http://www.couponcabin.com/blog/post/kates-black-friday-tips/
Maybe she is the one that planted the story with Holly Baby about Jon having the kids so she could still cry poor on Twitter, and get gifts from the tweeties without them wondering how she could afford to pay a sitter for that long, plus PB. The crying poor thing just does not hold water when are paying a 24/7x10 baby sitter and jetting off with your hired BF/BG to be the center of attention a world away, for charity. I just wonder how much money was raised that could be directly attributable to her, very little would be my guess.
Charity starts at home when you have 8 kids that you apparently can no longer afford.
Oh and I took the bait on the CC blog thing. Typical whining about all the work and how she cooks every single thing for TG (don't we all) and doesn't do black Friday. She does online shopping, mostly, she says. She kinda took it back home to CC in the end. The beginning - I stay up until early morning hours on TG packing leftovers. Strange that would take most moms about an hour. I have to buy lots and lots of gifts so that I get more thank you's and hugs on Christmas. That woman has an obsession with hearing her kids say thank you. I did notice too on that NY clip I watched A. turned around out of the blue and threw out a quick "thank you" while they were looking at the "lady." How about a thank you TLC. Oh she didn't teach her kids that unlike the Duggars. Hellooo-they are still there.

Good Lord, I hope not. That isn't very productive for the children. Isn't Jon better than that?
************************************************
I'm up early this morning and the first thing that popped into my head is that this is not a matter of Jon being mean and refusing to take the children, but reality. He has to work a 9-5 job in order to make his child support payments. That's the REAL reality of the situation. Also, if he was to rearrange his schedule in order to accomodate her whenever she gets a bug to spend the children's money and fly off with Stevieboy for 'work' or as someone else said to fly around the world without compensation to help rescue a failing zoo in another country, it would continue to reinforce her belief that she deserves special treatment and he can be manipulated because she is a 'STAH'. Her previous co-workers, family, in-laws, Hollywood, and eventually TLC all refused to continue to feed her delusions of stardom and she still doesn't "get it." Jon said it all several months ago when he sat down for that Rumor? video interview and urged her to return to a normal life. It is no one's fault but her own that she is fighting so hard against returning to a normal life and will spend the children's money to the last cent in order to remain relevant. But she has very few people left who continue to enable her and there are a few that may even be using her. What is happening now is "the realest reality show" and I hope the children come thru it with very little damage and their family is able to pick up the pieces. I wouldn't be human if I didn't admit that I enjoyed the thought of her paying a whopping babysitting bill for her 10 day vacation. It's called choices, Katie Irene. Adults make choices everyday. Sometimes we make the wrong ones and have to learn from them.
Sorry if this is garbled. It's early. The gist of this is that Jon is not being mean or unreasonable. Katie Irene is as usual.
Well, I guess here is where Kate meets Reality. The "realest" Reality.
First off, I think she really does believe that her travels are "work." Since in her own mind, the only "viable" career choice for her is one in the public eye, she would argue that any of the "public" activities she engages in are work that she has to put in for cultivating her "image," whatever that may be (even including the NYC hair-fixing trips, since she tweets about them). We will probably never know who paid for her to travel to Australia, but if some other party DID in fact pay her expenses (whether or not there was a pacycheck involved), then in her mind, it was work.
Second, she forgets, conveniently, that the current set of questions about who took care of the kids in her absence is not JUST about that question. It is set in the context of ALL of her public appearances since the divorce, when she has over and over again made allusions to Jon being a deadbeat in terms of both money and his willingness to parent. SHE's the one who opened that can of worms with her snideness about him in myriad interviews, and she just can't abide that people won't alter their views JUST BECAUSE SHE SAYS SO. Live by the TV script, die by it.
Third, as witnessed by her "just one more" comment tonight about sweatshirt moms, for a good many years she has cultivated the "glamazon" image. A lot of money has been spent to remold her face and body, and she has not been at all shy about flaunting it at every opportunity. She has reportedly been miserable to lots of "ordinary" people on her way up (and we don't have to rely on unattributed accounts, we have all SEEN the way she behaves countless times on camera). But now, I think she is coming to understand that the ordinary people (the sweatshirt moms, for example) ARE her bread and butter, no matter how much she likes her high heels. I am certain that THIS image was the one that got CouponCabin interested in her. And since they seem to be the only ones interested at this point, she now has to pretend that she is really just like all the other moms, when in fact she is far from it and does not want to BE one of them.
There are so many other points that could be made, I could go on for pages. I guess what I am saying is, Kate throwing the sheeple a bone or two on Twitter, no matter how earnest or sincere she thinks she is, in no way counters the years of what we have all seen on screen. Unfortunately for her, TLC isn't editing her anymore, and without them covering her ass, she's discovering that she can't just wave her wand and pretend it didn't happen or she didn't say it.
This is the "realest" reality, Kate, the life NOT edited and cocooned by TLC.
I think the message Jon is sending to Kate is simple.
"When you get a "real"job I will try and help with your babysitting problems when I can, but until then..
You play, you pay, bitch!"
Ok I have never posted before but this one is way over the edge - what kind of thing states they were "stranded" taking care of their children(check that money makers)?
"I discovered this wonderful world of Internet shopping way back when I was stranded at home with eight kids under the age of four years old."
Admin, could you please number the replies on the posts, I found it really difficult to find where I was up to reading when I am in a different time zone (I am in Australia)and come home from work and theirs over a hundred new response.
*hundreds of new responses
I read that horrible blog she wrote. Boring and self-serving.
I let CC know that I did not enjoy it.
I am still wondering how much money was raised by the Steve Irwin auction. Have any of our super-sleuths found any info about it? Terri must have as much to hide as kHatie.
Kate is an idiot. If she had any brains, she wouldn't ever address any rumors or tabloid stories or whatever she thinks is negative about her parenting. She'd keep all of the parenting and custody issues private. She wouldn't even be on twitter!
And what a gracious woman--saying on twitter that she wants people to "look and feel stupid". Way to go Kate. Such a role model for your kids.
An article in our paper this morning about a marathon runner---Kate's same age. Has run 14 marathons. Said she made a "foolish mistake" and tried to run her first marathon without the proper training--had just been running by herself. Ran into serious problems on mile 18 and was in pain for days. After that she joined a marathon training group and it was the best thing she ever did.
Us Magazine is reporting that Kate had a face lift. I thought she had no money....
Is that for her kids too....?
In her CC blog, Kate stated that she cooks the entire meal every Thanksgiving. Wasn't it just last year that she had the meal catered, when Steve and his boys joined her for the day?
A little OT, but I noticed up thread lots of discussions about sourkrout and pork. I am of German heritage, but never really practiced any German traditions or knew anything about German food, until I lived in Germany in the 80s. Holy Cow is the food in Germany AMAZING!! I don't know why Germans don't weigh 400lbs each because the food there is just that good. Everything from bakeries to pubs the food is fantastic. Fresh ingredients, wonderful sauces that are not too thick or heavy, the meats are tender as can be. I could go on and on. And don't even get me started on German Cheesecake!! It doesn't even compare to the "cream cheese" cheesecakes we have here in the US.
I guess, here in the US when people think of German food they immediately think "sourkrout" or "bratwurst". But if you ever get a chance to eat real German food it is so much more than that. But even German food in the US can't compare to the food in Germany just because you can't get the same ingredients here that you can over there. Maybe some places come close but I guess it's like that with Italian, Asian etc... it's not the same here as in the orginal country.
Okay, I said my piece about German food. Back to Kate, so today is her Blog premiere. Interesting. Who wants to guess how many blog entries she'll post before getting bored with the whole thing and quitting? I'm going to say 3.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
"Undisciplined" in the sense that they can't control their OWN behavior. Not "undisciplined" meaning that no one corrects their behavior.
We know someone attempts to correct their behavior by verbally (and possibly physically) abusing them. That wasn't what I was referring to.
I agree that they are continually suffering one kind of punishment or another for being alive, and for not being the obvious breadwinners any more.
Kate got the last trip to Australia, the kids didn't, and she certainly rubbed that in their faces, never mind the ten days with the babysitter, whose credentials have probably been checked just as well as Blankinship's were.

+++++++++++++++++++++++
SAM, just check the time at the bottom of the last comment you read. Doesn't matter what time zone you are in, the time stamp is always for Pacific USA, so it doesn't change.
Make a note of it, or leave your browser up overnight at that point, and then just refresh the page, and begin reading from that time stamp. It's easy once you've done it once or twice.
I was able to add some numbers, see how you like them. There is a new post up as well.
Just to clarify, I realize that Blankinship wouldn't have showed up in any child molester/sex offender register. Checking credentials should have included his resume, which listed, interestingly, extensive work on child-centered projects, and no mix of other shows. That should have raised a few eyebrows.
I always start at the bottom and read up to the last one I read from the day before. But then that is why my posts are somewhat out of sync. I get fired up about something I just read and fire one off and then realize it is yesterday's news.
