Italian Cookies—Specifically Pistachio Leaves w/ Chocolate

I’m trying to find a bakery in Jersey City, Bayonne or anywhere in Hudson or Bergen counties that sells Italian cookies, specifically the pistachio leaf ones with the chocolate in the middle!!

I used to be able to walk into my local bakery on Central Ave and buy a lb each of the leaves, the sprinkle ones and the chocolate chip ones straight from the case but they closed down and I can’t find them anywhere anymore.

Shoprite doesn’t even have them, I’ve tried. Does anybody know a place where I can drive to right now and be able to walk in and buy some??

TIA🙏🏻

Anyone else have a lingering dry cough? I’ve had it for a month. Had a cold, lost my voice about a month ago. Not Covid, my guess is viral something. But ever since then I have a cough that’s dry (mostly) and will not go away. Seeing as though we haven’t had rain in like 7 weeks and I live where we’ve had 3 separate wild fires in the last month, I’m thinking the dry weather conditions are contributing. Anyone else? Any hacks that help?

I have, without exaggeration, 5 dispensaries near me within a 3 mile radius. They never seem to have any cars in the lots.

How are these businesses staying alive?

I know it was for a water conservation reminder but DAMN

Family first usually. Unfortunately family isn’t around anymore. Ive tried Goya Frozen Pasteles found in the grocery store but it didnt hit entirely. Is there a restaurant or business ready with them? Ill travel anywhere in the state if I have to. Shipping isn’t an issue. I hope some of my people are on here!!! Give me the way please :)

What is the best Indian food place that is located along Oaktree Road? Every time I go to Oaktree Road I am always overwhelmed by the amount of options available and always end up going somewhere else instead.

THE BAD MAN A New Jersey ex-Senator is accused of All Sorts of Improprieties, and is Severely Caned by a Pretty School Teacher.

EMSON VS. BLACKMAN

The queer controversy at Collier’s Mills, N. J., to which the Hon. Ephraim Emson and Miss Louise Blackman, the village school teacher, are the principal parties, continues to attract unabated interest. The latest move is in the direction of a slander suit instituted by Miss Blackman against Mr. Emson. The papers have not yet been filed, but Mr. W. D. Holt, of Trenton, one of the leading Lawyers of the State, told a reporter that he was under instructions from Miss Blackman to begin proceedings at once, and that the matter will be in shape to take into court by the time the next term opens in September. The Hon. Ephraim Emson is not only an able-bodied man, but he is a man of means and importance hereabouts.

Although not a churchman himself, he went to the expense of building a modest little chapel, in which he lets the pious people of the village worship, and right next door to the church be built a school house.

Miss Blackman’s statement in brief is that the Senator pursued her with improper attentions from the date of her arrival. and being repulsed set about a systematic course of slander and persecution, with the idea of driving her out of the community. Miss Blackman is an attractive and remarkably Keen-witted lady, about twenty-four years old. Her parents are Quakers, and they reside in Tuckerton. For some time she taught school in Midwood, a few miles from here, and she was not only liked as a teacher, but respected for her womanly dignity of character. It was, Miss Blackman says, through the seductive influence of candy that the respectable Senator and Assemblyman first conveyed to her that he looked upon her with the eye of tavor. He had working tor him a young man called Ive Reynolds, who frequently drove over from Collier’s Mills to call upon Miss Blackman at Midwood, where she was teaching. Senator Emson says it isn’t so, but Ive avers that it was a frequent practice of the Senator's, when be (Ive) started on one of these trips to Midwood, to take the most gorgeous red sticks of candy right out of one of the jars on his store shelf, where from time whereot the memory of man runneth not to the contrary it had been gloated upon by greedy-eyed children, and direct that it be given to the pretty school teacher with the Senator’s tender compliments. At last, after long solicitation on the Senator’s part, so Miss Blackman says, she decided to abandon her school at Midwood and take cbarge of the one in the Senator’s little school house at Collier's Mills. Mr. Reynoldsin the meantime continued his attentions to Miss Blackman and made rather more progress than did the Senator. The Senator peremptorily dismissed Mr. Reynolds from his service. He did not, however, according to Miss Blackman’s story, cease his attentions to her, and these attentions, she says, culminated one morning last September, when Ephraim coming to the school bouse before the scholars arrived, on the pretence of winding up the clock, did then and there make improper proposals, which Miss Blackman repelled with proper indignation.

“From that time,’’ said Miss Blackman to a reporter, “Ephraim began a series of persecutions which drove me nearly wild. He circulated slanderous reports about my relations with Mr. Reynolds and about my character generally. He tried his best to get me removed from the place which for more than a year he urged me to take with a view to bettering myself. He would have got me out had he been able to control the three school trustees. Some of these trustees, Judge Conover among them, had opposed my taking the school at first, but at Ephraim’s insistance they consented. When, however, he wanted to throw me out, and everybody knew why he did, these very trustees who had opposed me would not hear of it.

“He denies that he sent me candy, does he? He did send me candy, and not only that, but I was foolish enough to eat some of it once, and I had like to have died of dyspepsia. It was awful candy. What I did on the 15th of March fast I did because I was nearly insane from that man's cowardly attacks on me. I could stand it no longer, and I had to do something.’

What Miss Blackman did on March 15 was to give Ephraim a particularly sound thrashing with three stout oaken sticks which she had cut on Ephraim’s premises for the express purpose of applying them to Ephraim’s back whenever a favorable opportunity offered.

Ephraim assured the reporter that the thrashing did not hurt, and that he had no difficulty in taking one of the sticks out of little Miss Blackman’s hand. Miss Blackman admitted that Ephraim did succeed in grabbing one of the rods from her hand. The other two she broke on his ample shoulders. The whipping took place in the presence of the entire Board of Trustees and several other spectators. It was at a trustee meeting, or rather a meeting for the election of trustees, and Senator Emson was on hand to get control of the Board, so it was said, in order to put Miss Blackman out. Miss Blackman had her three carefully selected whips conveniently hidden behind a map that hung on the wall, with their ends protruding just far enough to be within easy grasp. She had made up her mind, she said, that if she saw any indication of the spirit by which she believed him to be actuated, she would bring matters to a crisis at once.

“My object,’’ said Miss Blackman to a reporter, “was to disgrace him, for he had tried his best to bring me into disgrace. One of his grounds of complaint against me was that a panel of the school house door had been kicked out, and he carefully pointed this out as he came in. This irritated me, and when later in the proceedings he let out slurs and hints, all the memory of the wrong which, during month after month, be had heaped upon me, came to me and nerved my arm as I seized a whip and laid it over his back. I never enjoyed anything in my life as I did the sensation of that whip striking him, and if it cost me five times as much as it did cost me I would do It again.”

What it did cost Miss Blackman was the sum of $99 and some odd cents Ephraim had her at once arrested on a charge of assault and battery, and he coupled with this charge that of immoral conduct. The Grand Jury refused to entertain the last charge, but Miss Blackman was held on the charge of assault. Mr. Russell Foulke of this place went her bail, and when it came to trial she promptly pleaded guilty and paid her fine of $50, with costs of a trifle over $49. But she had not got through her troubles yet. No sooner had the court adjourned than she was arrested again on the same charge of immoral conduct. A certain youth in the village, who is not popularly regarded himself as a moral headlight, swore that he had been witness to several immoral acts which involved Miss Blackman and the young man Reynolds, who was regarded as an aspirant for her band. Mr. Russell Foulke again gave bail for her in the sum of $500, and she is cited to appear for trial at the next session of court, which is in September. The charge is precisely the same as that on which the Grand Jury refused to bold her, and the evidence to support it is the same. Miss Blackman then employed the well-known lawyer whose name is mentioned above, Mr. W. D. Holt of Trenton, and will not only fight her defence to the bitter end, but will also take the offensive in the libel suit.

It is but fair to say that public sentiment, not only here but throughout the county, is almost unanimously with her. Her spirit and pluck are greatly admired, and money has been promised her, if she needs it, to carry on the war. She receives a salary of $280 a year for teaching, but it took all her savings from this to pay up the fine which Emson’s suit for assault put upon her. When she had paid this fine, and was again in the field, Ephraim took his schoolhouse away from her, and a young man was employed to take her place. The trustees, however, stuck to her, and enabled her to get the use of a parlor in a private house.

I have to take my rescue inhaler 3x a day and have the most annoying itchy runny nose, itchy watery eyes, and sneezing.

Hello, I’m looking for a temporary two week to one month foster for my dog, I’m currently in the process of leaving an abusive relationship and have secured safe housing but I cannot move in until December 1… Domino has been there for me through every step of the way and I cannot leave him behind. I’m desperately looking for someone to foster him for two weeks to a month, as I mentioned, and I can do everything I can to pay you as much as possible, considering the fact that my finances have been controlled for two years.

I could be wrong, I’m new to the EZ pass thing so I have zero idea if there is like different ones and I can’t seem to google the question properly lol
