They saw the light. Maybe it was the light at the end of the tunnel, but they still saw it - they wised up. A Florida city walked back its decision to defy an agreement with federal immigration authorities, sparking intense public backlash just days after the initial vote.
In a stunning reversal, Key West city commissioners voted Tuesday to reinstate local law enforcement’s collaboration with federal immigration efforts, ultimately bowing to pressure from state leaders.
The divisive decision comes one week after the commission opted to end the city’s implementation of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287(g) agreement in a 5-1 vote, which would allow cooperation between federal agents and local law enforcement.
The real deal - make your own key lime pies...
Here's a recipe:
Graham Cracker Crumbs: You can crush whole graham crackers or buy the boxed graham cracker crumbs.
Light Brown Sugar: To sweeten the crust.
Melted Butter: To hold the pie crust together.
Salt: Balances the flavors of the graham cracker crust.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: You need one 14-ounce can; this will thicken and sweeten the filling.
Key Lime Juice: Fresh juice from key limes is preferred, but if you can’t get fresh key limes, then you can use bottled juice; Nellie & Joe’s Key Lime Juice is the best! You can find it at most grocery stores.
Key Lime Zest: If you cannot find key limes, you can use regular lime zest.
Ingredients
Crust
12 full sheets graham crackers
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
6 Tbsp. salted butter, melted
Filling
2 large egg yolks
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup bottled Key lime juice
1 Tbsp. grated lime zest (from about 2 limes), plus more for garnish
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
Prepare the Filling: Whisk together the lime zest, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice, then set it aside to thicken.
Make the Graham Cracker Crust: Stir together my favorite graham cracker crust, press it into a 9-inch pie pan, and Bake until just set, about 10 minutes, then let it cool to room temperature.
Bake the Pie: Once the crust cools, pour the thickened filling into it and bake until it is mostly set but still jiggles a bit.
Chill Out! After the pie cools to room temperature, it must be refrigerated for at least a few hours. This pie tastes the best chilled, and it helps the filling to finish setting up properly.
I buy that authentic Key Lime juice and my wife's pies are a 9.5 out of 10 !!
ReplyDeleteThe commissioners had no choice really. Because DeSantis was going to be firing them, using the powers of the Governor of Florida, and install a 'temporary' council of his own choosing.
ReplyDeleteChange the rules or go to jail. That's what faced them. They learned, barely.
When do you add the eggs and the cream?
