Still in search of that elusive $800 per wk…

For those of you who have been here awhile you are aware of the “I’ll do it myself Tucker Fund” that doubled as a CPAC jar in the quest to send me down south.

Things remain up in the air for me but now that the readership has once again increased post CPAC post factor I am going to make this offer once again but not just to Tucker Carlson.

In my old job I was making $800 a week. (excluding overtime) I am more than willing to write for anyone at that wage on the condition that I am writing from here. If it is desired that I cover an event beyond my regular range, I would want expenses (travel, a room and maybe $30 a day for meals).

If anyone is out there who is looking for someone to write or film under those termss just give me a heads up in comments. If someone is looking for a part time writer I can adjust the rate accordingly, with the understanding that I will keep trying to find something to make up the rest or to get the whole shabang at once.

If someone wants to hire me on a temp basis a particular campaign etc, I wouldn’t mind that either. I can live on extended unemployment, but I’d rather not, I dislike the situation and would like to change it. If you can help I promise to give a solid effort and earn the funds I’m paid.

And of course if you are a reader and just want to kick in I certainly won’t turn down any hits to the I’ll do it myself Tucker fund.

If you want something you have to ask, so I’m asking. I’ll provide the Fedora.

Since I haven’t done a recipe for a bit I figured I’d do a quick film on last night’s dinner. Our menu is boneless pork chops from Romano’s Mkt. The video is a little shaky since I’m filming with one hand while I do everything else.

Initial mixing and coating:

Beef coated Pork in the oven

Add the Beef

Cook the Alfredo:

And everything is cooked!

Here is my wife’s completed plate, she had already raided the salad.
