Billie’s Quickies…the middle class are a buncha freeloaders!

Boo Hoo, how will we pay for health care reform? Waaaaa! It can’t be done, Obama wants to go back on his word, he wants to tax the middle class, oh, wait…’the middle class pays no federal income taxes.’  Why? Because the middle class are a bunch of freeloaders I say! An interesting take on [...]

If they’re so poor, why are they so fat?

Why are so many Oklahomans overweight? According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Oklahoma ranks eight on the list of hungriest states and seventh in food insecurity.  However, Oklahoma also – according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) – is the 10th fattest state in the Union. How can this be?  If [...]

How To: Dry-Rubbed Spare Ribs and Crack on the Cob

I’m making dinner right now, featuring the titular ribs and roasted corn on the cob with a version of Diana’s Dijon and Dill Butter Sauce.  The sauce is so good, you’ll need to keep eating corn just so you can feel alive. Here’s the “before picture” of the dry-rubbed ribs.  Check back later to see [...]

All Up in the White House’s Grill…Literally

Regular readers of this blog know that I’m something of a foodie, so you can imagine my excitement at scoring the culinary scoop of the centuminute.  I’m referring, of course, to the apparent Official Cookout Gear of the White House, the Weber Sputnik. According to a White House staffer, the place is lousy with the [...]

President Obama Copycats Me!

I don’t know if he has his minions watching my Twitter feed, or what, but hell if I didn’t go out for burgers Thursday night with Caleb, College Politico Steve, and Minority Report Bob, which surely resulted in a huge surge in sales of hamburgers with mayo and bone fragment.  Sure, he just “decided” to [...]

I Picked the Wrong Day to Miss Iron Chef America

Boy, if I’ve heard this once, I’ve heard it a thousand times.

Say it Ain’t So! Gordon Ramsay a Donkey?

I love watching Hell’s Kitchen, if only so I can laugh smugly to myself and say, “Come on, you couldn’t tell that was a  doves’s egg poached in tortoise broth?  Donkey!” during those blindfolded taste tests, or imagine how I would give Ramsay  what for if he ever yelled at me like that in the [...]

That’s No Way to Treat a Hamburger

Moe Lane posted this video, which Caleb tweeted, the point of which is that it is trippy as all hell.  That’s not the takeaway I got from it.

NSFW:How Bad Does Your Beer Have to Taste For You to Put Tits on the Bottle?

One doesn’t naturally follow the other, but doesn’t it seem a little desperate?  From TastyBooze.com: Three buddies in Australia came up with a unique way to market their bottled beer called Skinny Blonde. Instead of using cutting edge ink technology to turn some bullshit mountains blue the guys at Skinny Blonde make a pin-up girl’s [...]

Bailout Burgers and Bi-Partisan Bananas

Yeah, I know it’s a reach, but I feel better if I can shoe-horn the politics in there. I decided to have another bash at bacon-wrapped bananas, but this time, with a twist:  GRILLED bacon-wrapped bananas.  And “Bailout” bacon burgers. I started out by wrapping the bananas in half-slices of bacon, holding them together with [...]
