Radio host and political writer Andrea Shea King came up with a great idea: to wish Nancy Reagan a “We Appreciate You!” and “Happy Birthday Ronald Reagan” message and tell her how much she is missed on the national scene, particularly in her role as First Lady.
Mrs. Reagan is going to be celebrating what would be President Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday on February 6th.
Andrea Shea King has organized something special for Mrs. Reagan, to let her know how much Americans still love her.
Please participate in this effort and send Mrs. Reagan a kind message through Andrea at Radiopatriot@gmail.com
You have until 9pm EST to do this, so that Andrea can get all of these emails together into something special to give to Mrs. Reagan.
It’s a huge personal project Andrea is working on, and she wants to be FLOODED with responses.
While we’re thinking about Mrs. Reagan today (who will be 90 this year), please chime in with any favorite memories of her…and perhaps some ideas for future Class vs. Crass episodes contrasting her tenure as First Lady with the antics of Michelle Antoinette Obama.
Email for Thank You/Birthday Greeting: Radiopatriot@gmail.com
***************************
ACTION ITEMS involving writing anyone like this will be RED TEAM ACTION ITEMS on the new HillBuzz site, where we can keep track of these better and churn out more of them.
Sometimes they will be emails, but usually they will be postcard projects — since writing actual letters in the mail gets the best response and most attention from officials, but they use the anthrax scare excuse not to read letters in envelopes and I believe they just flat out ignore emails.
The postcards will get to their offices, though, and staff will be forced to read them.
So, if you like to write, the new HB site will have a lot of opportunities to do that.

I remember the media pillorying Nancy all the time…”too rich”…”too thin”…”to adoring of her Ronnie”…”heartless”…”ignorant of the poor”. When she was asked to submit a few of Ronnie’s favorite recipes by one of the woman’s magazines [Good Housekeeping? Redbook? whatever...] she did so, giving them her recipe for macaroni and cheese and also a recipe for his favorite crabmeat casserole with mushrooms. The leftist press went into overdrive because in the recession, she dared to provide a recipe with crabmeat in it and mushrooms – two of the supposed most expensive ingredients on the planet. It peaked my interest and I went out to shop for it to make it. I compared the tuna with the canned crab meat and voila! crabmeat was on sale and cost less than bumble-bee tuna. The mushrooms were $1.49 a pound. [It was 30 years ago]. So, I wrote a letter to the style section of the NY Times and the LA Times, and the New Orleans Picayune and the NY Post. Guess which published it. NY Post. I still have that recipe and it is absolutely delicious. I bring it to pot luck suppers and often serve it with party breads for an hors duerves.
My rememberence of Nancy and a recipe she gave to a woman’s magazine got flagged, Kevin. Can you rescue it when you get a chance?
Thanks! That was fast.
So are you going to post or link to the recipes??
I can only post it – and hope it’s not too long that it gets thown into “time out” – here goes. [I double this recipe for my crew]
President Reagan’s favorite Crab Meat Casserole:
1 #2 Can Artichoke hearts
1 lb. crab meat
1/2 lb. fresh sauteed mushrooms
4 Tbls buttter
2 1/2 tsp flour
1 Cup cream
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup medium dry sherry
Paprika, cayene pepper and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Place artichoke hearts in bottom of baking dish
Spread the crabmeat over that
Add the layer of suateed mushrooms.
Melt butter in saucepan starting with the flour as a roux, add remaining ingredients except grated cheese stirring well after each addition to form a smooth sauce.
Pour sauce over the layers.
Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
Bake 25 minutes at 375 until bubbly and the cheese is golden.
I posted it but it might be too long and is in “time out”. If it’s not here by late this evening, we’ll ask Kevin to look for it.
