Do you save soy sauce for Chinese food? Some folks only try it while enjoying takeout, but there’s no reason to stop there. It’s actually quite a versatile condiment, good with fish, fruit, meat and more. Here are 25 creative ways to use soy sauce:

1. All purpose marinade – Soy sauce, scallions, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.

2. Sweet and savory marinade – Soy sauce and brown sugar. A similar version is soy sauce and molasses.

3. Mustard marinade – Soy sauce, grainy mustard, garlic, and rosemary. Excellent for lamb chops.

4. Dipping batter – Add a few drops of soy sauce to liquid batter, then bread. it really enhances the flavor of fried chicken or fish.

5. Meatballs or meatloaf – Use soy sauce instead of salt.

6. Beef jerky – Marinate in soy sauce for a tasty treat.

7. Potato Salad – One teaspoon will make a huge difference.

8. Salsa or Pico De Gallo – Add a spoonful to balance acidity. 

9. Burgers – Mix soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced onion into ground beef or turkey.

10. Pasta – Add soy sauce to cooking water before it boils.  

11. Vegetarian – Add soy sauce to cooked lentils, black beans or tofu. Think you hate tofu? Try this honey soy version.

Himmler’s Daughter Dies an Unrepentant Nazi at 88

2 Replies

Gudrun Burwitz, the daughter of Heinrich Himmler, has died at age 88. She remained a true believer in Nazism to the very end, never once criticizing or denouncing their horrific ideology and crimes. 

Even though she had visited Dachau concentration camp as a 12-year-old girl, she denied the Holocaust ever occurred, and devoted her adult life to helping Nazi war criminals.

Interviewed only once in 1959, she retreated from public life and spent her evil days and wicked nights working for a group called “Stille Hilfe,” (Silent Help) that raised money to assist former Nazis in Europe and those who fled to South America. Many of these criminals were never brought to justice because of such efforts. 

It’s hard for me to believe that any woman could live on this earth for 88 years and remain so brainwashed. To deny the atrocities that occurred during WW2 is just plain foolish, with the amount of historical accounts and evidence available. More likely, she knew and didn’t care, or possibly even approved, which shows how truly heartless she was. 

None of us can pick our parents and she is not responsible for her father’s unbelievably cruel conduct. She is, however, responsible for her own, and to remain loyal to him and his sick, demented way of life shows that she is just as immoral. 

Anyone who says that the Holocaust is no longer relevant and Nazism is no longer a threat, needs to understand that there is a group of very deranged individuals who dream of starting a Fourth Reich that could destroy everything the rest of us hold dear. We can not ignore this threat—however minor it may be—or we could end up living through the hell of the 30’s and 40’s all over again. 

It’s illegal to deny the Holocaust in Germany. It’s illegal to aid war criminals everywhere. Why this woman wasn’t brought to justice decades ago is beyond me. We can not let these monsters fall through the cracks. I don’t care how many decades have passed. The victims deserve justice and society must provide it, to the best of our ability. 

Gudrun Burwitz may have escaped earthly justice and that is a tragedy, but nobody escapes God’s judgment in the afterlife. She is surely paying for it now. 

Super Savings Saturday – 7/7/18

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

Due to being on vacation, my shopping time was limited. I picked up free dog food at Petco and then went across the street to CVS (because I’m so efficient like that… As If.)

CVS:

Sally Hansen nail polish, regular price $3.29. I used a $3.00 store coupon. Total: $0.29.

Dawn dish soap, sale price $0.99. I used a $0.25 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.74.

Scope mouthwash, sale price $4.79. I used a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon stacked with a $1.00 store coupon. Total: $2.79 plus $3.00 ECB. (There is a ridiculous amount of mouthwash in my stockpile, but I don’t turn down anything free.)

Oral-B toothbrush pack, regular price $5.29. I used a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon stacked with a $2.00 store coupon. Total: $3.29 plus $3.00 ECB.

I didn’t do any regular grocery shopping, so I’ll have to compensate for the upcoming week with a huge haul. I guess it all evens out in the end.
