Barbarians at the Gate - While the Won % Ate.

NOTE: Official BAN SOPA edition today in solidarity with Google and Wikipedia

sopa12_hp

Tense night around the Big White. The OWIES showed up to OCCUPY the White House and protest the unfairness of life. They did so by lobbing a few smoke bombs over the fence onto the lawn of the People’s House.

Fortunately the Wons weren’t home at the time. They were with 10 close friends at BLT Steak (aka Bistro Laurent Tourondel, famous French chef) celebrating Lady M’s 48th birthday.

After a brief lockdown, police dispersed the crowd and cleared out the smoke bombs and secured the Big White for Big Guy’s and Lady M’s return around 10:00 pm for nightcaps.

Naturally, due to the personal nature of the dinner, there was a complete photo embargo, butt I can report that Lady M changed from what she had worn earlier in the day when the St. Louis Cardinals stopped by to wish her a happy birthday.

world series runWow! Look at that black bat!

Which was a re-run of the lovely sweater she wore to her Oscar winning performance at the Gabby Gifford memorial in Arizona last year:

For dinner she lost the sweater, kept the pearls and went basic black with the Jackie O’s. Just like we have so often in the past:

The many faces of MO’s campaign pearls

Expect to see a lot more of the pearls this year, as they work so well with campaigning. That face? Well, it may be an artifact of the 2008 campaign, butt we’ve got a much better one now anyway.

Butt I digress: back to our dinner at BLT Steak. I know that sounds as casual as a ham sandwich, butt rest assured, there’s nothing prosaic about this Lady M fave. Oh sure, at lunch you can get an Obama burger for just $28: an 8 oz Kobe American burger, with cheddar bacon, burnt tomato ketchup (bleh!) and spicy Scallion mustard.

Dinner, however is a bit more upscale.

blt-steak-dc-pdrBLT Washington: Private Dining Room

For example, here’s what the Won Percent party enjoyed for the birthday dinner last night:

Appetizers: The American Wagyu Skirt Steak (10 0z, $55) and 28-Day Dry Aged New York Strip (16 0z, $46) with house-made sauces including Horseradish, Peppercorn, 3 Mustards, and the ubiquitous "Steak" sauce.

Dinner: American Wagyu Top Cap, which is served in a 10 0z portion ($81). I know that’s a lot of steak, butt after all it IS BLT Steak, not BLT Salad, or BLT Organic Vegetables.

Accompanying side dishes, served family style, included French Fries, Mashed Potatoes, Caramelized Brussel Sprouts with Bacon, Creamed Spinach, and Hen of the Woods Mushrooms. Oh, and onion rings, of course – hand stacked.

Following a few Stoli martinaes, dinner was accompanied by both red and white wines.

For dessert,  a specially made version of Lady M’s favorite red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting – and cream cheese ice cream!

Red_Velvet_Cake_with_Vanilla_Cream_Cheese_FrostingIt’s red chocolate! RED. CHOCOLATE! How do you do that?

 

Meanwhile, back at the Big White, all the little OWIES had been shoed away, and have moved on to the Capital. It’s going to be a long winter.

  5. Again with the too tight cardigan.  :(

    How can an "appetizer" be the same size as the entree?  In other words, two steak dinners.  We definitely know where the beef is.   And can't you just see the grease swimming around in those onion rings.  Yum!

    I call "racist" on the black bat.  And if MOo is so all-fired het up about being black, why is she doing her best to change her facial features to a white person?  Only a few more touch ups and she will be there.

  16. Being a peon or "small" person, I like knowing my onion rings were dumped out of the fryer basket and not fiddled with by some kitchen gremlin. 
     The "cream cheese ice cream" is a new one for me, too; it seems to be frozen cheese-cake stuff.  So we have cake smeared with cream cheese, butter, and sugar topped with cheesecake.   I'm feeling bloated just thinking about that...............

  27. Once again, I couldn't care less what they eat and where they eat it, as long as they stop trying to tell me what to eat and where to eat it.  I would like to know the vetting process for the waitstaff for these little shindigs; I'm sure it's much more stringent that what BO went through to be POTUS. Just waiting for pirated phone video of MOO performing a Stoley-fueled table dance to sneak onto Youtube.

    Meanwhile, I wish I could afford to heat my home.  Keeping the thermostat at 49 degrees in a Midwest winter is not a whole lot of fun.

  36. Thanks, schatzi - lucky you :-D I wish our house had a wood stove, or a fireplace ~ We hole up in a study with a space heater running during waking hours (so some of what I save by not using natural gas to heat goes to the electric company, and those guys aren't cheap, either >:o .  They've got me coming and going.  But no way can I indulge myself by heating the entire house.)

    I think it's just as much the fault of the greenie weenies as it is Obama's - I've heard someone express it thusly:  The environmentalist wackos won't be happy until everyone is living in huts or teepees and eating nothing but sprouts and tofu burgers.  They want to erase centuries of progress and through us back to the stone age, except stone age man was better off because he at least could build a fire - making that big a "carbon footprint" is, after all, a cardinal sin in the Church of the Greenie Weenies.

    Fact is, I look better covered up, so this relocated Noo Yawker is right where she belongs.

  63. When hubby built this house he saw fit to have it come in at around 4,500 SFLA...a monster house in this small town.  There's nothing fancy about it.  The rooms are just huge.  When I first saw it I was horrified.  All I could think was, "OMG, what does it cost to heat that place?"

    As it turns out, surprisingly little.  In addition to believing in lots of space, mr. creeper also believes in LOTS of insulation.  The third floor (attic) has a foot of fiberglass on the roof alone.  Our heating bill runs about the same as my sister's house, which is about 1,400 square feet.

  74. Yes, but "cheaper" is a relative term.  Also, with gas there is not an option to heat just a room or two, which of course can be done with a space heater.  If I set the thermostat even at 65 degrees, it would set me behind at least $200 - $250/month, probably more (I'm too scared to try).

    I hear that LA is trying to make all fur illegal as well.  No manufacture, no buying/selling and no wearing.  They would apply this to visitors as well.  Not that you often need fur in LA butt the person who told me said she was sick and tired of the Obamas telling her what to eat, what to wear, what to think, etc.  I can only hope that all of this backfires on the greenes big time...Oh, forgot...retro fur/antique fur coats are PETA approved as that falls under "recycling".

    It also looks like the photographer and stylist just gave up trying to get a decent shot of her body and just went with head and one shoulder and one hand. And the shoulder and neck are covered. If she always looked like this, with this little showing, I'd be happy. They couldn't completely wipe out the little eye, though.

    "There are thousands of good paying jobs on both sides of the border that depend on the approval of that pipeline. And a process which normally takes 12-15 months has now carried on for more than 35 months," he said.

  104. What's up with her awful hairdo?  And.....lest ye think she has improved her appearance completely, she may be covered up in an appropriate dress, but she still has a stupid clown squirt flower.

  105. wartburg, can't you close off the registers in rooms you don't heat?  If there are no louvres that allow you to do that you can by magnetic covers for them.

    You won't believe this.  Last month our electricity bill was $157 and gas was $80.  We're talking Iowa in December.  mr. creeper's cold-natured, so we keep the thermostat set at 72. 

    The outrageous utility bill is for our machine shop, which is served by an elecric co-op.  The cost per kwh is triple that of the house.

  106. Great link, Anonymouse.

    The captions are harmless until the photo of her and Princess Kate, where it says she is giving Kate tips on how to become a fashion icon. The dresses are their for all to see and compare. And Kate's expression looks like that really is what Mitchell is trying to do.

    Meanwhile, I noticed the guy in the background on this. Did one of their Halloween guests really dress up as a KKK member?

    Judging by the tunic that guy's wearing, I'm guessing that's a chef with his toque.

  108. That hag, 48, she looks meaner every day.  I wish she got ecoli from scarfing down all those expensive burgers.  next year, she'll be celebrating her birthday getting kicked to the curb.  She'll probably go to popeye's, for the  $2.99 chicken wing special, since she'll be paying for it with her OWN money.
