In case you haven’t noticed yet, our 2012 reelection campaign, Win The Future (WTF) is in high gear and humming along.
The propaganda Organizing For America arm is now fully staffed and running commentary, ads and buses 24/7. And our Big Union benefactors are in character, pretending to be dismayed by our lukewarm public support of the Wisconsin teacher’s union (who are all out sick), while secretly yucking it up over here at the Big White over rump roasts, tater tots, imported beer and Cohibas.
Our cute little lapdogs in the O-media are sitting back on their haunches with tongues hanging out begging for us to give them a scrub behind their ears. Even Rupert “the Rude’s” newest family member picked up on one of our “nothing up my sleeve” redirections and ran a puff piece on Chef Comfy ( that’s Big White head Chef Cristeta Comerford for anybody reading this blog just for the fashion forward news).
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against Comfy. In dealing with the Wons, she has to put up with almost as much as TOTUS and me. Although her crazy mad knife skills do give her an advantage that T and I don’t have.
Chef Comfy with her very sharp “flexible boner”
She’s one of my pals around here and she certainly deserves her props. She keeps my little hotel refrigerator well stocked with curry for Raj, Vernors, root beer and ice cream for me and the Wee Wons and tons of vegetative scraps for Little Mo, all at Big White cost, which is much lower than retail. (I have to buy Little Mo’s special ‘grubs’ at retail since the bait shop doesn’t give any discounts and Comfy won’t order them in bulk. I don’t blame her, she doesn’t want to get blamed if one of them gets loose in the organic garden.)
But she did surprise all of us last month with this really weird, and I must say, tasty dish for Little Mo’s birthday.
Comfy really showed us her “Wise Philappina” empathy by making Little Mo a special dish that traced back to his authentic garden roots. He had the time of his life racing through the tunnels, butt he confided in me later that he really prefers his new Big White diet. I had to ask Chef what it was because I couldn’t find it on my hard drive (Raj has since installed a “World Recipe” pack). Maybe some of you will recognize it, I’ll give you a hint: it’s not Italian.
Anyhoo, the WSJ took the bait our team tossed in the water and we just reeled them in. Here’s my summary of the rather long article so you won’t have to read it unless you don’t want to:
Big Guy brings an extraordinarily talented minority chef from Chicago to his historic administration to create healthy organic meals of unprecedented quality, style and creativity that are served to world leaders as well as Big Union leaders with a robust flair that is always unexpected. **
There was only one thing Comfy said in the article that I would disagree with. She said great cooking comes from “people who have an innate capacity to taste and see and smell.” I can go with the taste and see, but for the amount of time she spends around Lady M without even so much as a wrinkle of her nose, I’d have to question her “innate” sense of smell.
Butt there’s no questioning her cooking skills, she did after all, win the Iron Chef Battle Crock Pot competition, Chicago style!

Large penne pasta, with bile sauce slathered in grease, and coated with all the dandruff MOO brushes from the shoulders of guests?
ReplyDeleteComfy forgot to slather the top layer with greasy bile too - the pastas are empty. You know MOO made sure she got a middle piece from this pan of slop. mmm-mmm-mmm.
ReplyDeleteOk, so I shouldn't let a blind mole try to fix things on my blog. Little Mo's not really blind, just far sighted, and he was trying to fix the video of comfy tossing a mole into the pan on the old Iron Comfort post, when it suddenly appears as a new one. Imagine my surprise.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, Raj is fixing that and I’m carrying over the new comments on the new old post. Did I say that right?

For Chicago food, I prefer Portillo's Italian beef sandwich (order it 'hot and wet' to sound like a local) or a gen-u-wine Chicago Hot Dog. Photo is from Portillo's website - I doubt that they would mind the free advertising! Besides which I have spend a small fortune at various Portillo's restaurants in Chicago.
For those of us on the left coast, Portillo's has two restaruants in CA, one in Moreno Valley and the other in Buena Park.

When The Big White announced the new social secretary I was thinking about MOO's food czar, Sam Kass. He's hunky butt there seem to be not photos of him with women. He has no foodie credentials butt is drawing up the menus for our schools, see today's American Thinker.

ReplyDeleteWTF menu for Little Mo looks Greek to me...no really, I think it is a Greek dish butt I could be mistaken it might be Libyan or Egyptian....I hear imports are pretty cheap from there right now if you can get out of the country.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused:

Obie didn't bring the minority chef from Chicago. She was already there. Apprenticed to Chef Scheib, when he left the WH Laura Bush kept her as the WH chef.
The Obamas kept her as well, but brought in non-chef Sam Kass (he had a restaurant and catering business that took packaged meals to the Os to be heated up as needed), who has managed to sling enough manure on that garden to have himself elevated to a policy consultant's position with Obie himself. Rather transparent way to slipstream one of Mooch's faves into power and thereby elevate her.

ReplyDelete"She [the Wise Phllippina]said great cooking comes from “people who have an innate capacity to taste and see and smell.”
ReplyDeleteWTF does this mean? People who have a sense of taste, vision, and can smell odors are great cooks? I have all those abilities, but I confess that I am not a great cook.
The STUPIDITIES that come out of the White House. How is it possible for them to all speak words that sound vaguely grand, yet have NO MEANING AT ALL????????
MoochMO poked her finger through each pasta tube and took out the cannoli filling and ate it.
ReplyDeleteBest comment on the photo of MoochMO: "Who is that woman in the bottom pic? Oprah?"

Because some of Khadaffy's 'tactics' are hitting a little to close to home...somebody (who really likes dressing in uniforms--and not whilst channeling his inner Michael Jackson) has 'taken control of the media; expelled foreign journalists; and killed cell phone and internet service.' And he is killing alot of his population...butt...lets not give Barky any ideas on 'three out of four'...

That's because Uncle Ben doesn't have duffus sized ears. Someone was being too kind to the Won.
ReplyDeleteJust a little rant. Thought I would zone out for a while and put on the food network. Iron Chef had a "chef" who was talking about the "immigration problem" that needs to be addressed in our country while presenting his final dishes. What the heck? Can't even get away from it on the food network. GRRRRRRRRR
ReplyDeleteOh Granny Jan! You Goddess of Snark!! You Snitty Snotty Snarkilicious BABE You!!!
ReplyDelete"sigh"
What good company I keep.
Mmmmm...Vernors.
ReplyDeleteI think that was a different Granny Jan, I would never....
ReplyDeleteOT - Mr. Pink and Pink - did you recieve any of the snow that hit San Fran? I have lived in Cal for 33 years and don't remember hearing about snow in San Fran.
ReplyDeleteContrary - on a FAR lighter note. Ghadaffy is wearing one of Mooch's ourfits in the picture with the Won. She must really be ticked. Now he, is fashion forward.
ReplyDeleteAnd we would miss out on all that public degrading of the Wons. ;)
ReplyDeleteBingo! ;)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking this same thing. Was pretty sure the Bushs kept Comfy. Butt she didn't have that comfy sounding name then.
ReplyDeleteBingo on the Greek! ;)
ReplyDeleteButt, that story doesn't make Big Guy look like the Won who found her now, does it? :-D
ReplyDeleteOMG, thank you Anonna! That's a great collection. I had to add our most recent cover on Vail Womens Weekly just to prove we're still cover material. ;)
ReplyDeleteBig Guy gives classes every week. ;)
ReplyDeleteI saw that show too. Morimoto kicked his tostones! :-D
ReplyDeleteOh, yea!
ReplyDeleteDamn! It won't let me "like" my own image! Haven't these people ever heard of Chicago Rules?
ReplyDeleteThanks Anonna, those are great. I'm trying to upload Lady M's Vail Woman's Weelky cover, just to prove we're still cover ready, butt Amazon is giving me grief.
ReplyDeleteI knew it was trouble when they had Bezos over for diner. Butt I will press on. I will not be defeated. >:o
When even the WSJ stoops to run fluff pieces, the Wons must realize they are deep trouble. Quick, bring on a distraction: a celebration of Motown music or a write up about their wise (and talented) Filipina Chef. (remember the flurry of vacationing and partying as oil was spilling in the Gulf?)
ReplyDeleteI missed the Iron Chef episode when Comfy was on (the Food Channel is one of the few channels I still watch) Is it any surprise she won; who would risk facing the wrath of MO spurned?
Wonder (having private chefs at their beck and call) how the O's eat on a daily basis. Does anyone believe that the 'Let's MOOve' queen practices anything she preaches when it comes to how she and her kids eat.
Cut and paste from one of the comments following the IOTW article:
ReplyDelete"On about Day One she disclosed that the kids didn’t like to get into “his bed” in the morning because he smelled so bad."
Something here is very wrong. Most healthy persons who bathe fairly regularly do not "smell so bad" in the morning. We might not be as fresh as a clown squirt flower, but not so bad as to drive others away because of the foul stench.
This leads me to believe that:
A) WTF-Barry has a serious health problem.
B) WTF-Barry does not bathe regularly.
C) There is some other reason M00cHelle does not want the daughters to go into "his" bedroom (possibly because of who might be there with WTF-B) so she told them that their alleged father stinks in bed.
D) Other undisclosed problems.
E) All of the above.
All I can say is if that ugly stack of pasta pipes with already been chewed sausage and puddles of rancid grease is an example of The Wise Philipina's "good" cooking, I'm a snot rag. Here's what I cook:
ReplyDeleteI should have said, "cooked". My resturaunt was kilt dead by taxes and other extenuating circumstances. Bad timing to start a business. I'm thinking of the Roach Coach business though; no overhead, and serve smoked meats and other man-food items, like roasted stuffed jalapenos wrapped in thick bacon, bbq gizzards, and anything else MOO says is bad for us.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am batting 1000 over at American Thinker. They have discarded ALL of my postings today. I am so depressed.
ReplyDeleteSo I came over here, where I am never discarded. But I really should say something . . . Oh, I know. That picture of the kitchen, where the lady chef is standing. I wish I had that kitchen, and all those beautiful pans, and large large tables, and some of the super expensive knives that chef ladies have. And, as long as I am wishing, I wish I also had the enormous staff that the lady chef bosses around, to clean up after me.
Yep, that would be enough to use up about twenty years of wishing.
Stinky and Snorey too...Supposedly stinky because of smoking. Butt, I agree that it could be "E", all of the above.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your place didn't make it, bettyann...it looked and sounded like the coolest place in town.
ReplyDeleteCan I have some ouzo with mine?
ReplyDeleteMadame, you are, as usual, too kind! I try not to look back. Butt - I am back at the music camp - they were thrilled to have me and hired me back instantly with a raise. At least now I am making money :) and work normal hours. Proud to say that tonight, we served 120 skinny kids pizza and strawberry shortcake and ice cream, but sad also to report that one director is a big MOO fan, and insists on over-serving the kids salad. Which they throw away. Because eating grass sucks. Just ask 'um.
ReplyDeleteWhat were some of your postings, Janice? Snark away, Baby. If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by us.
ReplyDeleteBettyAnn, I am sorry to hear about your restaurant. Times have been rather hard here in New Mexico, but especially in some of the small towns. I must say, though, of all the pictures you posted, Gramma's Helper is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteIf you are thinking of doing a Roach Coach in Los Alamos, remember that they have closed off Pajarito Road to general traffic, which cuts off a good percentage of people who are looking for better food than the cafeteria (TA-55 specifically).
We did have one lady who brought in burritos from home, but just on Thursday. If you could find a good place for people to stop on the way to work, you could probably do a good business in breakfast burritos.
I was complaining about those school menus that the good Ms. Obama has come up with. I must have just gotten to wordy and off-topic for the blog-sheriffs. I do "sometimes" get carried away with my own words and thoughts. It was probably because some of the comments were to the effect that if people would simply stop eating junk food (that unique phrase that has almost no meaning) and do some exercising, then hardly anyone would be fat. And of course there was someone who said she had given birth to five children, and still had the same figure as when she was a teenager. Now, I believe her, that she kept her figure. But she attributed it to watching her diet and exercising, when it is really just genetics that allows some to stay slim, and causes others to become . . . uh . . . matronly.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I may have gotten carried away on my pronouncements about food and exercise, and generally disturbed the peace. I probably deserved the snub, but it was still depressing.
Pizza, strawberry shortcake, and ice cream. UMM UMM UMM!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Magdalena, many years ago, the summer could be brutal. My kids just didn't want to eat anything, and I really didn't want to cook. We would go down to the store en masse, and purchase the makings for kick-ass banana splits: Bananas, ice cream, whipped cream, nuts, and toppings. My kids would eat until they were stuffed, and slept really well despite the heat.
Madame, Otis and FOMs - Outside of smoking, she looks like the "Stinky and Snorey "Won. He appears to be more of a persnickitty,metro/homo sexual to me. In my estimation, he seems to be more groomed than she.
ReplyDelete*** Not discounting all of your hypothesies, Otis. I belive many of them to be true. Just sayin..
** I know - a biz major, not English - sorry.
We love you, Janice. Your posts are so very welcome to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about genetics and slimness -- but people who are lucky are always eager to attribute it to their personal merit.
Testing. Browser problem. :)
ReplyDeleteGood. I turned it off after that. Just couldn't take the all "BaRock" all the time.
ReplyDeleteI stopped posting there because my comments were deleted. I never knew why, butt my name is Janice, too. Just sayin' ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, no! They may have though you were me! Oops!
ReplyDeleteNo snow where we are north of SF. Butt I see in the Napa newspaper that there is a snow warning in Napa County. That would be very rare. There is snow up on the peaks of the hills close to Mount St. Helena, which often gets snow on its peak, about 4,300 ft. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteO/T but since you have awakened some fun memories, walking up Mount St. Helena (I'd love to see if M00ch could do it without calling in Marine One - Let's Move!) from Robert Louis Stevenson's camp where he and Fanny were squatters at an abandoned mine one summer is a solid workout of a hike but it won't kill you if you're in decent shape. It's a very rutted jeep trail, no pavement. Bicycling up (you need to be in better shape for that and have a real mountain bike, not a hybrid) is even more fun. Unless you meet up with some of the local mountain lions, which is why anyone with a brain goes up in pairs or groups. They don't bother multiple people. At the top, all of Napa Valley is below your feet, along with the gliders that mostly soar below you, which is a different viewpoint. On a very clear day you can see Mt. Shasta, Mount Diablo and Mount Tamalpais. Butt the best time is to go up there on a cloudless full moon night - spooky and fun! Lots of people do it in the summer. We would bike up there and howl at the full moon, bike down and go for martinae (do not drink while on a full moon hike/bike - I've seen people almost go off a steep cliff because of the optical illusions). Butt do not - do not - try it on a hot summer day. Once you get above the treeline you (and your goose) will be cooked! You will be as done as a D-word last November.

ReplyDeleteLimp wristed --- have these photos just recently shown up for gay support for re-election for Butthead Obummer? Or has he been limp wristed since the Nobama immaculation?
ReplyDeleteSeveral Europeans I know in other non-political internet forums have made jokes recently about our "openly gay" president. Funny thing has been that even though there are lots of liberals in the forums (you know how liberals can work "Bush is the Devil" into conversations about anything from literature to cooking to candlemaking so you always know their political slant), no one has called them on it.
ReplyDeleteI think she put it in front of her face and sucked the filling out of each tube, leaving nothing nothing but the bare pasta.
ReplyDeleteKind of a metaphor for what they're doing to the country as a whole.
I love Vernor's Ginger Ale too! I buy it in the six pack of bottles because others who live here at Casa de Contrary think it tastes 'funny' so the entire stash is MINE!!!
ReplyDeleteBettyann, I like your cooking and ideas...and am so sorry to hear that your restaurant is no more.
ReplyDeleteI have faith (there is a word that Usurper in Chief hasn't usurped) that things will get better and turn around. We lived thru Carter (and got the Reagan years!) so we will survive Soetaro...and maybe (if you want to) you will open another place :)
That roast chicken and dumplings looks incredible (as I eat my Pop Tart breakfast).
They don't appreciate any snark at all (in their comments). I too have had a couple posts pulled (so I don't post there...and in reality don't remember my password). I got the 'axe' for calling a certain Senator Juan McCain.

ReplyDeleteHe IS Juan McCain and his buddy is Lindsey Gramnesty. Those are the entrenched, arm twisting lifers that need to term-limit themselves out of the capitol.
ReplyDeleteI'm days late but I'm glad I read to catch up. Your cafe always sounded so lovely; I'm glad you're here, BettyAnn. Your helper is precious and your tongue is sharp! Cheers, Ma'am. I always watch for your comments -- they make me laugh and make my husband laugh even harder. That's a gift!
ReplyDeleteMaryO is right, we'll survive these times. Faith my friends...
This is where I come when I feel blue. Dispair is no match for the MOls, MODs, and assorted FOMs!
ReplyDeleteSee! I'm days late and I already feel better. Thanks again MOTUS.
;)
I'm going to take a page from James Lileks and say that the photo of the strange pasta dish looks like a dissection of some pre-Cambrian beast.
ReplyDeleteWell, sure, I don't want a blind chef with no sense of taste or smell cooking MY food.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of the episode of "Bizarre Foods" where Andrew Zimmern went to the Philippines and ate a nice dish of stir-fried grubs.
ReplyDeleteDon't recall EVER seeing pork on the white house menu, do you?
