My Opinion of Reality TV

Gordon Ramsey

I find that the initial curiosity fades very quickly after two seasons; examples are Dancing with the Stars, Hell’s Kitchen and the Apprentice. I tuned into Real Housewives of N.Y and couldn’t turn away for the episode because I was in shock with those grown women behaving in such a fashion. I prefer fantasy over reality any day, it’s less disturbing.

Children who are finicky eaters, argh!

baked eggs, chopped spinach, convection oven, egg yolks, freshly ground black pepper, grated nutmeg, postaday2012

I was sitting here on my couch, wracking my creative mind trying to come up with something half way interesting to write about and lo and behold, ask and you shall receive. I decided to make baked eggs over creamed spinach for the baby girl and so I chopped the onion, sautéed them until they were nice and translucent, added the defrosted chopped spinach, added kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, freshly grated nutmeg and then added half-n-half and Parmesan cheese. I put the creamed spinach into the baking dish, cracked two eggs on top of the creamed spinach, sprinkled more Parmesan cheese and threw into the convection oven for 15 minutes at 375. Therein was the mistake, I thought that I had the correct time and temperature but according to the baby girl, I had ruined it.

The eggs turned out to be overcooked, my mistake but I didn’t think that it would render the dish inedible. Again, I was mistaken, the baby girl only likes the dish when the eggs aren’t overcooked, she likes it when the yolks are runny and she can mix the yolk into the creamed spinach. She refused to eat it because without the runny yolk, she doesn’t like the creamed spinach. So she is goin to make herself French toast, which is fine because I am not in the mood to cook something else from scratch just because two egg yolks weren’t cooked perfectly. I tell you, the baby girl was less finicky when she was a toddler, she has gotten picky ever since adolescence and it doesn’t seem to be getting any easier.

Rick Santorum, Following Losses To Mitt Romney, Looks Ahead To Ohio Primary 2012

This primary in my mind crystallizes the importance of an Obama win 2012 because either a Romney or Santorum Presidency would wreak havoc on our economy or at least the economy for the majority of us down in the trenches, it would wreck the environment and whatever headway the E.P.A has made in the last several years, it would wreck any chances of getting college costs down and the social safety net insurance programs would be in even more jeopardy. We have already endured the economic experiment of supply-side economic theory embodied during the Bush/Cheney years and we are still shell shocked, no more. There is still much work to be done to redress all the imbalances that that disastrous experiment created. Obama 2012.

John Boehner’s Leadership Style Under Scrutiny

It is the GOP’s own fault, they aggressively pursued the tea party faction only to be co-opted by them in the final analysis. I remember way back when the GOP was known to be the party of the successful and savvy businessman and gradually throughout the eighties and nineties it morphed into a socially conservative evangelical political party that bears little resemblance to the GOP of the 60’s and 70’s. Where I once had respect for the republicans and was interested in their point of view, today I look on that party as a controlling, judgmental, greedy anti-educational narrow minded group who doesn’t bring much to the table.

Gordon Warren Epperly, Alaska Man, Says Obama Is Ineligible To Be President Because Of His Race

There aren’t any words except bad ones to use regarding this man and what he represents. I wrote yesterday that there is a quote that I recently came across and it is quite fitting in this instance. I have to thank a friend of mine for it, “Never argue with an idiot because they drag you down to their level and then beat you with their experience.” That is why there aren’t any words for this man.
