"Chipotle maple whipped sweet potatoes". How "regular guy"! How "like us!"

[Bluebear]

Down home regular guy Bush chowing down on his maple-syrup infused yams and asparagus tips. SO earthy and heartland America.

===

CRAWFORD, Texas - A free-range turkey will grace the Thanksgiving table at the Bush ranch tomorrow. The entire Bush family, including former president and Barbara Bush and the current first lady's mother, will gather for a traditional spread. Air Force One flew down last night.

Besides turkey, the menu will include fresh-milled cornbread dressing, pan gravy, chipotle maple whipped sweet potatoes, roasted asparagus and red peppers, green beans supreme, fruit ambrosia, fresh yeast rolls, and orange cranberry relish.

And for dessert, two kinds of pie -- Texas pecan and pumpkin. (Note: Reminds me of "TWO fruits!" at Gitmo.)

The celebrating at the Bush ranch won't end tomorrow. (Note: I'm certain.) On Friday, the twins, Barbara and Jenna, mark their 24th birthday.

The president is spending six days at his ranch. (Note: Not Thursday. Not a few days. Not a long weekend. SIX days.)

what will the elder bushes and their sonny boy be plotting against murrricah and the world as they sit, and eat, and chat and fart together this thanksgiving day?

2. free-range turkey for * -cuz poultry industry unsafe

Thanks to Reagan gutting food inspection and enforcement, and Clinton with his beholden relationship to Tyson.

[Bluebear]

3. Food inspection & enforcement, how quaint.

Aren't you thankful that mean old government isn't poking into our lives anymore? Except our bedrooms of course.

[upi402]

56. buyer beware -SERIOUSLY!

:toast:

[EFerrari]

4. If Monkey Boy stayed at the "ranch" for the next two years

I'd be perfectly happy. He wouldn't be embarrassing us around the world or rubberstamping the ruination of our government in Washington.

Please, keep him at the "ranch"!

[Bluebear]

5. Will there be a Twinapalooza at the "ranch" this weekend?

I wonder if they will be inviting all their friends to the "ranch", you know, the ones they met "volunteering" at AIDS clinics or whatever they said they were doing instead of enlisting?

[EFerrari]

6. Wouldn't it be hell to be a young adult in that family?

What could possibly motivate you to get up in the morning? No wonder they resort to booze and whatever. And having THAT THING as father. Omfg.

[Bluebear]

7. Most young adults dread their dad dancing at a party...

or some other similar embarrassment. These two...not only does he make a colossal ass of himself wherever he goes but he also has his finger on the button.

[EFerrari]

8. I'd drink, too!

LOL

[madokie]

23. Makes me proud of my poor roots

the community where I was born didn't have electricity until I was 5 years old. My brother and I would follow behind the dynamite crew and pick up the old blast wire, we used it for everything. Made ourselves a couple telegraphs and strung the wire between our house and our log cabin, play house. He and I built it when he was 10 and I was 6. we built us a stove out of a small barrel and spent a lot of time out there. Thanks for reminding me of these fond memories. :hug:

[Batgirl]

24. you kids, stay away from the blast wire

The greatest technological accomplishments of my childhood involved 2 dixie cups and a string.

[EFerrari]

26. I'm first generation in a family of immigrants.

Navigating the culture was a sitcom in itself. And I remember how careful we were with portions at dinnertime -- even though every adult in the household was working the best job they could find.

To this day, I can't look at beef tongue -- which was cheap and we had it 'way too often.

lol

:hi:

[madokie]

28. Yep, those were the days that makes us make sure our kids

have things a little more differently, I never used 'well, when I was your age this and that as an argument'. This shit for brains in the whitehouse is sure trying to make sure some of our grand kid's and grandkid's to come will know just what it was like for us. Sorry SOB

[EFerrari]

29. The good news, he's toast. They overplayed their hand.

Just watch. Our kids and their kids will be okay. :toast:

[madokie]

49. You're right, my bad. Is that what you call Texas* Toast...

I think I smell it burning.

[Lisa]

34. no kidding. And he's always putting them down ...

Telling not just strangers, but every reporter within earshot, that they are "whiners". When has he ever said something kind and encouraging about their grades or about what they hope to do in the future? I think that he is still resentful because they tried to talk him out of running for president ... and they aren't under the illusion that he is the coolest dad ever (as he tries to pretend).

Junior's big "thing" was to talk about how nice it would be when Jenna got married -- he wants her to have a ceremony next to a waterfall at the Crawford property. Never mind what she might think about this -- or the fact that the whole wedding party would be standing in the creek. No, Georgie has it all arranged.

It's like he never stepped out of the 1950s.

[EFerrari]

60. Really. He thinks and talks like a ten year old. n/t

[adriennui]

15. what have the twins been up to

since graduation? are either of them "gainfully employed"? we know they're too valuable to be in iraq.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. Followed by an old Bush Family tradition:

The ceremonial disembowling and group feasting upon the entrails of a local resident, whose life is given up as payment for them not burning their village to the ground.

Ah, the Holidays... :D

[Arugula Latte]

59. Ah, yes. The peasants look forward to that all year.

They're grateful Master notices them. Heartwarming.

[peacefreak]

10. That's one dinner table I wouln't want to be around.

Poppy's mad at Jr. for fucking up the war & the country. The Silver Fox is sitting there with her big fat pearls, gumming sweet potatoes & insulting Katrina victims. Pickles is in the corner, watching through a Xanax haze. The Girls? They're hung over from doing too many shots at the Crawford Sip & Sin. Thanksgiving? It just sounds like another day at the pig farm.

[Bluebear]

22. "CONSUELO! Get that Goddamn pecan pie out here NOW" says Babs...

as she starts her sixth scotch, neat.

[ToeBot]

11. Oh, no more buttered scones for me, Mater...

I'm off to play the grand piano.
Pardon me while I fly my aeroplane.
Now get on the table!

[watercolors]

12. Hope he chokes on a turkey leg!

What do we care what they eat, there will be many without a dinner, or a home, and so far 3 dead US soldiers!

20. Meanwhile, re: "cocksucker"

I have different, stronger names for him that don't involve gay folk.

[...of J.Temperance]

33. What like..."ducksucker"

Huh? Cock = chicken fowl...duck = fowl too.

DU is corrupting me, I was innocent until I came here.

:cry:

:evilgrin:

I don't expect you to respond to this at ALL...you never do.

[Bluebear]

53. I was going to say "Oh that is FOWL"

even before I read the body of the post! lol

[...of J.Temperance]

55. Gosh

And I didn't even know what you were responding to...I just read the subject line. By the time I got here, the Moderators had already deleted that person's comment.

Which contributed to more wandering mind corruption :)

"Ducksucker" I think is the way to go, there's even bumper sticker possibility for this catchy term!

[pitohui]

14. too true, chipotle is soooo 2002

however washington dc and the presidency are not supposed to be avant garde, they are retro garde, so i don't have a prob. w. the chipotle maple syrup sweet potatoes

it might actually be a new taste sensation for *, remember how his dad had never seen a scanner at the grocery store before...

[Retrograde]

19. and what's wrong with being retrograde???

Or with chipotle/maple mashed sweet potatoes for that matter. Sounds pretty good - if I didn't already have my menu set I'd try making them. I'm having chili de arbol cranberry relish though, cause I still have some chilis on the plant.

[pitohui]

21. not a thing wrong with it

i just think the chipotle thing needs a rest for awhile before it can be new and fresh again but your taste buds may vary

[johnfunk]

16. " On Friday, the twins, Barbara and Jenna, mark their 24th birthday."

Now that ought to be a blowout party -- plenty of Kristal champagne AND crystal meth for all!

[annabanana]

41. oh f*ck me. . . . I share a birthday

with the twins. I did not know that..
ugh

[...of J.Temperance]

52. Just throw Holy Water over yourself and you'll be okay n/t

[Flying Dream Blues]

57. so does my mom...so it's not all bad! :)

[ewagner]

17. Just read the recipe

for those sweet potatoes.....

good god....!!!!

Why don't you just inject super glue right into the arteries?

[sleipnir]

18. What a fucking elitist asshole prick.

He's the definition of elite upper class, golden(even better than silver) spoon in the mouth, with no cares in the world. He thinks he can run the world. God, he's the epitome of the archetype that Marx railed against.

[Orsino]

25. *'s "ranch"...

...is another GOP framing.

It's an estate. Let's call it what it is.

[EFerrari]

27. Okay. A playpen.

lol

[alfredo]

30. My thanksgivings will always be better than his.

I can look in the mirror and not see a war criminal.

[...of J.Temperance]

31. "Six days at the ranch" = A six day bender...yep, we need to look for

MEGA signs of UBER hangover on Wednesday when Junior finally appears in public...we also need to look for signs of him beating up his face AGAIN due to his obvious falls throughout the six days.

On Edit: Darn spelling errors.

[NMDemDist2]

32. totally! he needs a good bender after the Asia trip's sucess--NOT

:puke:

[...of J.Temperance]

37. Hey what you DON'T call Junior's Asia trip a success?

What about Junior getting locked in that complex Chinese puzzle and not being able to find the door?

What about Junior being serenaded by some multi-toned Mongolian "throat singers"?

What about Junior befriending a Mongolian Yak?

What about Junior drinking some Mare's milk?

Huh? Aren't THESE the signs of a successful *residential trip, one that EVERYBODY can be proud of?

:sarcasm:

[redwitch]

35. Damn. I wish I had a chef!

I deserve it more than they do. I think Bush should become a breatharian. At Gitmo.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. What's wrong with regular guy food, like green bean casserole made with

condensed cream of mushroom soup and canned onion rings, and sweet potatoes with marshmallows, and mashed potatoes with gravy ,and cranberry sauce that retains the shape of the can it came in? "Fresh-milled cornbread dressing, pan gravy, chipotle maple whipped sweet potatoes, roasted asparagus and red peppers, green beans supreme, fruit ambrosia, fresh yeast rolls, and orange cranberry relish" sounds like the menu at some foo-foo restaurant frequented by limousine liberals from Massachusetts or some such unAmerican fringe territory.

[EFerrari]

39. Hey, don't put down chipotles, man.

They're fine smokey chiles. Much more American than Monkey Boy and his fake Texan accent.

:)

[redwitch]

40. my dinner today consisted of;

turkey
dressing with onion, celery, seasoning, bread, butter etc.
gravy
mashed potatoes
the cranberry shaped like a can
homemade cranberry orange relish (It is delish!)
green bean casserole- damn I love that stuff
corn
rolls
pumpkin pie ( which i dropped on the table and it became a sort of pumpkin mush)
apple pie

and a bunch of yummy snacky beforehand stuff like celery with cream cheese and paprika
pretzels and dip... It's a good thing we don't eat like this all the time, I could hear my arteries hardening.

add coffee and drambuie for afters and it was heaven. But the best part is still to come








LEFTOVERS

COLD TURKEY SANDWICHWS AND BEER!!!!!!!!

[buzzard]

42. Will you share the recipe for orange cranberry relish.n/t

[redwitch]

44. Sure!

1 navel orange, 1 half bag of fresh, whole cranberries, a tablespoon or 2 of sugar. Put in food processor for a couple of minutes and Voila! I don't think it gets any easier than that and it is so refreshing and good.

[buzzard]

61. Thanks, I will try it.n/t

[bammertheblue]

58. oh man...

I love the cranberry stuff still shaped like the can. We always had that growing up- it was hilarious because my mom wouldn't even try to pretend it hadn't come out of the can 5 minutes before- she'd cut it up in slices and you could still see the can marks.
My, we were fancy ;)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

67. Cranberry sauce!

We didn't even cut it up.

[Rex]

38. So sad, his fucking moran followers love his 'shenanigans'.

Yet they gripe and complain about public teachers getting way to much time off, don't really earn a paycheck and teach because that is all they can do.

Well look at your fearless leader Freeptard lurkers! He spends more time on vacation then at work, never was elected, and ran for POTUS after failing at every job he has ever held.

[Swamp Rat]

45. Here he is carving the "turkeys" ....

... or people. :scared:

[spanone]

46. This little man is the son of a rich, slick, East Coast politician.

Namely George H.W.Bush. Ex-president, ex-vice president, ex-CIA Cheif.

[No Exit]

48. We can call him the "Corporate Cowboy" or

the "Boardroom Buckeroo".

[No Exit]

47. What a WUSSBUCKET!!

Little Lord Fauntleroy. Bet he's even got lace on his cuffs.

[ClassWarrior]

50. That's French, isn't it? How effete!

NGU.

[Ronnie]

51. "Air Force One flew down last night."

Air Force One flew down what last night? The people? Which people? The food? If it's the food, just the food, I'm furious. If it's the people... Oh, what does it matter? I've been furious for five years.

[seabeyond]

54. goes back to washington thursday to go to camp david fri.? n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

62. Why is this not regular guy? It's stuff I would make.

I do roasted vegetables year round. I love cornbread dressing. Maple syrup in sweet potatoes is delicious as hell, and the addition of some chipotl - an excellent idea!

While I am one of the last ever to defend that criminal fuck, ragging on him because he's eating something that anyone could make if they'd show a little fucking creativity, is not helpful to the cause.

[Bluebear]

65. "is not helpful to the cause"

Oh let me up. Everything is not always 'helpful to the cause'. Point is, his handlers would have America believe he would be eating beans out of a can over an open pit for Thanksgiving.

[elehhhhna]

63. Is Gannon invited? Them taters sound gayer than a treeful of parrots.

[KamaAina]

64. Probably just as well the pie is "Texas pecan"

they better make sure no Louisiana pecans slip in there, 'cause he'd choke on them as soon as they passed his lips :grr:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

66. Gotta give this a kick. Nice find. n/t

MKJ

:kick:

[Bill McBlueState]

68. chipotle

What did "chipotle" mean originally? These days, it seems to have been redefined to mean, "kinda Mexican, but more expensive than Taco Bell."

[Bluebear]

69. I believe chipotle is nothing more than a smoked jalapeno nt

[lonestarnot]

70. Sounds like a pile of shit dinner to me. I wouldn't eat that crap if paid

and range turkeys suck! Hope the bitch was tougher than a board. Did anyone hear of any choking incidents?
