840-horsepower Dodge Demon Sparking Controversy

According to The National Hot Rod Association, the brand new Dodge Demon is certified as the world’s fastest quarter-mile production vehicle.

Only 3,300 Dodge Demons will be made delivering a 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 engine with 840 horsepower. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has started shipping out the first of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demons to dealers, the automaker says.

But, the new Dodge Demon is also getting criticism for being too dangerous to be on the road and not safe for motorists.

You can purchase the new Demon $84,995.

Katie’s Kitchen! First Recipe…Broccoli Cheddar Soup

If you are a fan of broccoli cheddar soup then this is a great recipe for you!

My husand, Tim, has been asking for a crock pot full of his favorite soup, so I decided to kick off Katie’s Kitchen will a recipe to warm you up as the temps drop!

I will say it is a different consistency than the soup you may love from Panera, but you can easily change that by just not using the immersion blender as long as I did. Best to puree about 3/4 of the soup.

I did enjoy making this dish because it was sooo easy and quick, and I love throwing things into my crock pot and letting them sit, cook, and smell up my house!

I followed a great recipe from the Well Plated blog, and she made it so easy by including a video, too: https://www.wellplated.com/slow-cooker-broccoli-and-cheese-soup/

Definitely also added a slice of Italian bread for dipping, which made it even more delicious! Tim loved it and can’t wait for me to make it again! Yay! SCORE!

Here are some pictures from my kitchen! (Top left picture is how it turned out! With some extra shredded cheese on top.)

 

Ingredients:

-Immersion Blender (will make life so much easier than transferring soup to puree)

-5 cups of broccoli chopped

-2 1/2 cups of low sodium chicken broth

-1 can of Evaporated Milk

-1 whole yellow onion chopped

-1 cup grated carrots (I did not add carrots)

-2 oz reduced fat cream cheese (NOT fat free)

-8oz block of Sharp Cheddar Cheese grated

-3 cloves minced garlic

-1 tsp. dired oregano

-1/2 tsp. kosher salt

-1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg

-1/4 tsp. black pepper

Baseball Fans Throw Woman’s Dropped Hat Up Parking Garage Floors

BASEBALL FANS RETURN WOMAN’S LOST CAP AT WORLD SERIES PARADE

Last Friday, thousands of baseball fans showed up in Houston to celebrate the Astros winning the World Series with a parade.

During the parade, a woman looking on from a top floor of a parking garage dropped her favorite baseball cap.

At first, she was sad to see it float to the ground. But then, she was thrilled to see fans below her throwing the cap back to her one floor at a time.

The men and women in the lower levels took turns tossing the cap back up, with everyone cheering every time someone was able to catch it.

Thanks to some great teamwork from random strangers, the woman finally got her hat back. (Youtube)
