Decades ago I was given the chore at the last minute to fix something quick at my Fraternity House to feed about 100 people. I went to the locker plant/store and found pork chops on sale so I bought 50 pounds, a 50 pound cloth sack of potatoes, a pound of bulk Taco seasoning. Had enough money left over to get a keg of beer. So then I (nickname was Otto) put it all together on the patio with a keg of beer by my side. We mopped up the sauce with 20 loaves of italian bread. Here is my home version for a quick and easy and simple meal. The amazing thing is how the flavors all meld together but do not mask each of the ingredients. The sauce becomes a gravy from the starch from the potatoes. It is true comfort food. Check out the home version recipe below the fold. Or have a picnic for a 100, lol.

I live in Coal City, IL, a handful of miles South of the first Commercial Nuclear Power Station. I was in late grade school when it started. That first one is decommissioned. But Units 2 & 3 are still performing. Then on Sunday a friend sent me this article from a police report an hour North of us. This man, living blocks from me but not know by me, did something that has no connection with reality. And he has his hands on a Nuclear Reactor. I am 65, and for the first time afraid even though I have been very close to the people working their over the years. I have been active making sure issues were public and at times defended the power company at Public Meetings for fairness. I was a contractor for them on outside work for decades and was fully versed on safety, control and access to the site let alone the building itself.

Please let me know if my fear is warranted. http://www.dailyherald.com/...
