Recipe of the Day – Pasta with Sweet Corn, Tomatoes, and Basil
Summer is a perfect time to try to curb the amount of meat you eat a week. Especially if you have easy access to farmers markets. We picked up some fresh corn, tomatoes and basil to try out this recipe from 177 Milk Street which was amazing. Oh, the pasta we used was this:

GOP Eyes Another Shot at ObamaCare Repeal after McCain’s Death
This 2018 midterm election is shaping up to be one of the most important elections in American history.
Senate Republicans say they would like Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to appoint a successor to the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who, unlike McCain, would support GOP legislation to repeal ObamaCare.
Republican lawmakers say they won’t have time to hold another vote to repeal the law in 2018 but vow to try again next year if they manage to keep their Senate and House majorities.
“If we re-engage in that discussion in some point in the future, it would be nice to have members who enable us to pass it,” Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Thune (S.D.) said when asked about the possibility of ObamaCare repeal legislation coming up for a future vote.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said he hopes the next senator from Arizona will be a “strong ally” who “recognizes that ObamaCare is not a proper solution.”
“It hasn’t worked. It’s created a lot of harm and damage to real people,” he added.
A senior Senate GOP aide said the chamber would “absolutely” vote again to repeal ObamaCare but cautioned it would depend on “if we keep the House.”
Sarah Palin Not Invited to McCain’s Funeral
It would have been better if she hadn’t been invited as his running mate but ok I guess:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has reportedly not been invited to attend funeral services for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), her onetime running mate.
NBC News reported Wednesday that Palin had not been invited. A source within the Palin family told NBC News that “out of respect to Senator McCain and his family we have nothing to add at this point.”
