hey BT good morning
like RICE MILK
make it for pennies a day
Ingredients
4 cups water
1/2 cup uncooked rice (white or brown may be used) or 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown may be used)
1 vanilla bean or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1Cook rice, vanilla bean or extract and water until very soft.
2Let cool, remove vanilla bean (if using) and put mixture into blender or food processor.
3Blend until very smooth.
4Let stand for at least 45 minutes, then strain through cheese cloth.
5Voila! Rice milk!
Working for me.
Ken Adelman?
Who’s going to endorse Obama next?
Kevin Hassett? Doug Feith? Andrew Sullivan?
Oh, wait…
There are some endoresements you just need to “Return to Sender”.
She’s talking about me and a ton of otehrs like me, Bachman is. She can bite me.
And if you didn’t get it from the prior thread, summary: orlando rally was great yesterday. Hillary was smokin’. Early voting turnout is massive.
TDS rocks
That’s it, I’ve had it! Mornin Joe playin the Dead. NOTHING IS SACRED
..And there’s this:
WTF?
Ding. Who wants an Adelman endorsement. Scares me even more about Obama.
do tehy wanna do that or is joe just sayin’ dumb shit again?
WTF, indeed. The world wants Obama to be elected. Biden maybe should spent some time researching what websites around the world are saying about Obama.
I read before that Putin would very likely flex his muscles as Russia has risen while Bush has set the USA on a downward path, but some things are better left unsaid.
Palin is not going to release her medical records unless they are fake. It is about that pregnancy number 5…I don’t think so.
I’m not worried about the Adelman support of Obama, because it’s not like Barack is chancing this ass around to get him to work in his Administration when the time comes. If he does, though, then we will pounce big time!
And the shit is hitting the corporate media fan about it……they and mcpalin have been waiting for just such an opening. :-(((
It was mouthy, to a fundraiser, like Obama’s statments about clasping bibles and guns. The punch line almost never played, was “they’re going to find he has a spine of steel.”
I suppose there would be no record of a pregnancy #5 when she was wearing a prosthetic pregnancy belly for the last 2 months of her ‘pregnancy’. She knows this, because really, why would anyone who is healthy not release their medical records to the American people?
Maybe a doctor did an analysis of her honesty and she doesn’t want Americans to see what the doctor found?
First tires. Then bears. Then actors:
From my dead-tree newspaper:
Anchorwoman injured. A popular Little Rock TV anchorwoman who had a small part
in the Bush biopic W was in critical condition Monday after being beaten in her home.,
and police say they are investigating possible motives.
Yuk.
Allan, I saw that yesterday on the news. What the hell! I hate neocons and their party, The American Taliban.
That would be too late.
There was a DEAD INTERN found in Joe’s office. There was no evidence that she was greatful.
wow.
So we need to be worried about Obama’s associations? :)
Palin honesty? Is that an oxymoron? The doctor tested her honesty and came up with a score of zero…so that is her medical records released…zero…
Good Morning all, Coffee not ready need coffee
McPalin leaving CO, I haven’t noticed, Palin was here yesterday, polls are showing close but maybe it is because I am rethugville. Then maybe Palin thought this was unreal amerika.
Really? So what position is Barack putting Adelman in?
I see a trend here and I’m starting to believe it. The diehard Hillary supporters are going to go after Barack full force starting on day one so they can impeach him and put her in.
These same people didn’t have the stomach or the fortitude to kick W. & Cheney out. Nope. They were okay with neoconism, oh but if Barack makes one false move, he’s out on his can with Democrats holding pitchforks & torches behind him!
Sick.
LOL Yes, I know. This is another reason why Palin doesn’t want her medical records revealed. ;-)
Beaten and stabbed numerous times. Has life-threatening wounds. She did the 5am broadcast and when she didn’t answer mom’s wakeup call mom went over and found her. Prolly saved her life.
its great in tea…good morning dear
I didn’t bring up the possibility of Adelman being part of Obama’s admin, you did. I merely pointed out that if that happened it would be too late.
For the record, I am not, and never was, a Hillary supporter.
jeebus……this country is full of hatemongers
I’m more interested in McCain’s medical records, heaven forbid we end up with President Palin
No milk/cream in tea, please. Kills the flavour for me. Coffee, you betcha!
I turned Morning Joe off at 6:10. You are a brave soul.
But I guess he “did survive”
relax ,the man is not open to neocons …………..imo
i lived in England and got used to it…but cow milk spoils the tannins im told
I didn’t raise the subject, Kay did.
that guy is so in love with himself(over nothing) and meek Mikka a shadow of her VERY DYNAMIC father,nuttin to see dare!
England – worst. food. in. the. world.
yeah dont be scared though…PALIN and her shitheel hubby scare the bejeebus out of me…i shall leave Merika if they get in
Dover Sole,fish and chips,Salmon,Turbot,and……lots of good PIZZERIAs
hahahahahahahahahaha
Joe is a “Friend of the Devil”.
I don’t think he needs to ….
http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/106535-1/
Obama already proved that he was able to be steady during the economic crisis. When people are questioning McCain’s judgment and temperment, maybe this is an issue worth pursuing. McCain would use this issue in the waning days of the campaign anyway and if Obama’s camp is good, they can diffues it now. (at least I hope so)
how did Dr.B ever hatch Meek Mikka…..what a freakin dissapointment….lightweight
Fish n’ chips wrapped in a newspaper is the best thing they’ve got. Overcook the livin’ shit out of everything else.
trend? i don’t even see one data point.
yea the food is pretty crappy,but im not crazy about German food either………..heav……eeeeeeeee
Actually, Allan raised the whole issue. Can you tell the truth for once? And why is it you have to be the skunk at the lawn party all the time? Are you ever happy? If so, can you tell us what makes you happy so I can send it to you.
Why don’t you hang on the right wing blogs to give them fuel against Barack? They would love the help! Yeah, yeah, you can say things like, “Barack & Bush were best friends since high school and started the New World Order together back in the 1980’s and pushed Bush Sr. into the limelight to announce it”.
People will be killed in this election. It happens all the time in places like India and Pakistan, where they consider any election generating fewer than a dozen deaths a great success. Feelings are running high on the right, happily stoked by the Republiks. Plus, there is a long history of this stuff in the South. The Republiks have succeeded in turning a significant part of the male white working class into southern white trash.
some of the best indian food i’ve ever had was in london. ‘course i’ve never been to india.
and they have fabulous cheese!!! oh yum….
Mornin’ Blue Texan and Firedogs,
has this
been posted yet ?
must have been me-went out and back in and laughed and cried…
Allan first pointing Adelman out on this thread:
http://firedoglake.com/2008/10…..nt-1692887
Comment #4.
been to both,and London does have good food,but NUTTIN beats the Punjab
My my my. A little testy this fine cold morning.
And actually…Blue Texan mentioned Adelman in her post.
Only when it comes to you. You are such a downer sometimes.
Her religious connections scare me..Here is one freak who is warning of an attack in America soon. Read the letter below her’s, too.
http://www.ccnews.org/index.ph…..;stateid+2
Stilton cheese and a glass of Port
http://www.igourmet.com/images/topics/stilton1.jpg
yum,
and of course some bread
hey kids my breadmaker came
Sarah Palin is revolting ON SO MANY LEVELS
I’ll go along with that. I’ve never been to India either. Has always been on my list but…
if you’re going to accuse ecahn of being dishonest you better have a shitload of evidence to back that up – and if you don’t, you owe her an apology.
for my part, i’ve never known ecahn to be dishonest. not once.
and btw, not trusting obama does not put one on the right. lots of people on the left don’t trust obama. count me among them.
jealous.
love indian food. but that’s only one small reason i’ve love to visit.
can you tell more about your time there? what food did you like the best? did you bring back any recipes? what else struck you?
can’t go, but would love to hear about it.
i could live there… well mebbe part time..i did live there one summer
I have to back my opinion up? LOL
Ecahn needs to prove to ME that Barack Obama has Adelman on the payroll in the future when Obama gets in the White House. If she can’t, well then, I go back to my original opinion, assumption, and observation.
eCAN,
A good friend of mine is having an opening on the 23rd at FXFOWLE Gallery from 5-7pm. 22 W. 19th, 11th floor.
If you or any other NYC pups are about.
Happy Birthday, CBL!!
I still dream of a little hooch way the hell out in the boonies in VN.
democracynow talking about the kinds of Ds who may be in the next senate. Sounds like a much better bunch.
it is an amazing place,one has to experience
read FREEDOM AT MIDNIGHT….there is just too much to tell,the art,the food the beauty of the place,………………………….
On every level?
no shit…my doc is Vietnamese…i adore him
Love fish & chips. Bubble & squek–love that name. Too bad it sucks. What is it again? I only had it once and only remember mashed potatoes or something. And I remember that it sucked.
Is today yer birthday?
Happy Birthday and wishes for many more.
Thanks for the invitation, but I’m in the country today, where I have some meetings.
i like Trig…….period
I’m still looking for the proof Barack has Adelman on his Cabinet list. *scanning thread* Can’t seem to find it. Why is that? Is it because someone is upset Barack is doing so well and wants to be the skunk at the lawn party to ruin the fun?
Could be.
Another observation, assumption, and opinion of mine.
Fight!!!! Fight!!!!!
I don’t remember. Kidney pie did it for me. Bleaah.
Which kid did she give the middle name Indy – after teh snow machine? That’s one weird lady.
McCain attacks Biden’s remarks that if Barack is elected he will be tested militarily. Biden is wrong on this issue because we live in a different world today than the cold-war mentality Biden grew up in. Leaders around the World are waiting for Barack Obama to become President as they know him to be a fair and just man with an even Temperment, ready to talk through problems than to bomb, bomb Iran!
There will be crisises but they will be world crises such as the economic crisis we face today, and countries around the world will have to work together to address this most pressing issue. They will not be thinking about fighting but on how to turn their respective economies around and they know that it will take a combined commitment of countries to get this situation under control, along with other challenging problems like climate change and energy. World leaders realize that only by working together with unity and inclusiveness can thethe world problems be solved. We live in a global society, we are no longer isolated countries, what effects one, effects us all.

The Russian mission to the UN in New York says it has turned down a request from John McCain to help fund his presidential campaign.
Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin and others received standard mail-outs asking them to help “stop the Democrats from seizing control of Washington”.

Ah, bummer. I wish I could make the show.
Never had it. Sounds gross. I think B&S is potatoes with cabbage and some other crap–onions, maybe?–thrown in.
Birthday Hawk!
Happy Birdy cbl!
she is an odd combination of speak athoritatively on total bullkacky
Oh, yeah, that was another one.
Just saw your comment about this time of year in New Jersey and the Delaware Water Gap. I live about 1/2 hour west in Pa(retired transplanted Jersey girl)and the leaves were spectacular this year. The peak is past but they are still beautiful.
She is anti-candidate.
Germany still has worse food imo…cept for Sauerbraten,dont eat veal anymore for spiritual reasons
thank you for the reading recommendation. looks like something right up my alley. i’ve put it on my list.
*waving to tw3k*
Here in FL I get ponked on the head with acorns falling from the oak trees. Those little suckers hurt from 15 feet up.
that kinda summs it up,and anti-human,anti-moose,anti polarbear,beluga whale…WOLF…better watch out Blitzer…”g”
thanks everyone !
I’m watching Ostriches in Botswana live for my birfday – I love the interwebs!
a great read
Hopefully, it DID have |”the living shit cooked out of it.”
This website has the best information on end timers that I have seen. There is a video of Palin today that has a bit of new in it. I didn’t know that her witch doctor hates Catholics, but he does.

*waves back* :D
Ever visited the waterhole in Kenya? 24hr webcam. Have to see if I can find the link again. Been a while and it went all commercial. Dark now but later in the evening it’s morning there and lots of critters.
Indian Vegetarian food is imo …the best
now that’d be an interesting development! lol
yur so kewl,ya know
Now that’s an interesting Birday choice!
I’ll go along with that, although Chinese gives it a run for its money. If rice is involved I can live with it.
happy birthday!
maybe this will help
dakine made a diary on linking
yea i like Asian food muchly
did ya see this?
http://timesofindia.indiatimes…..623743.cms
She’s actually been there. The watering hole, not the website.
I wish she would not use that child as a prop. I am too tired to look it up right now, but a blogger suggested using him to make money for the campaign. I think it might have been pinkflamingo that did it. She is connected with Adam Brickley and Stephen Maloney that pushed for Palin’s nomination starting a year ago.
Dammit, we’re s’posed ta keep food chats fer Late Nite … *g*
Soory, don’t know why the reply didn’t work. My 120 was for SD at 111.
i posted the rice milk recipe,cause a 2 cent contanier of RM ws 2.50 cents at the store yestiddy
Two words about Eengleesh food … Boiled Tongue
always had trouble with the cams in Kenya – most of the ones I visit are in southern Africa – Botswana, Namibia. There was a great one at Etosha – you could see everything – but the link hasn’t worked in sometime.
and yes, I’ve emailed a few researchers in Madagascar begging them to put up a cam, why do you ask ? *g*
sadlyyes – spent my 25th going through Indian Jungles in a howda – once could spend 10 lifetimes in India and not see the half of it
I saw that and thanks !
We drink Rice Milk regularly.
yup….
Have had some absolutely wonderful Indian food. Went to a wedding feast where the father of the bride was a retired VP of Dupont Corp. They even had some food wrapped in gold foil (gold as in element). I try anything and everything so this was a feast for me.
They ain’t all Southern and they ain’t all males. Case in point: Michele Bachmann.
{{{{{ cbl2 }}}}}
Hippo Birdies !
It is interesting to read about India … it is life changing to visit the place.
Here’s the link but ya have to register to get it to work. Figures.
Tripe? Really? When?
I’ve been in the UK on and off for nearly 30 years; never eaten tripe, never been offered it anywhere, never even seen it on a menu. I’m amazed that anyone else has.

I know…and it confused the heck out of me! Still trying to fix the last one I tried..I am pathetic at links…I have been waiting for my neighbor to teach me in person…I have no idea why sometimes I get it right the first time…an accident maybe?
i agree,it is my fave place on earth,oh and Italia…of course
both overwhelm the senses..n a good way….imo”g”
Guess I’ll hafta do a little surfing and come up with some new cams.
OR boiled tongue. Maybe 30-40 years ago, when people couldn’t afford to be so picky about what parts of the animal they discarded. But not now.
Off to swim in the great capitalist (bwahahahahahahahaha) cesspool.
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
oops, forgot to hit “reply” – that looks weird out of context doesn’t it? Sorry! Need more caffeine around here…
mad birthday love to all firedogs – thanks !
Yep … India is a study in contrasts
tripe

that is exactly what attracted me
Your Good Doctor, Dean Ornish has written and talked about this for decades. Now that Western food has conquered Asia, their rates of obesity, diabetes and all fatal diseases are skyrocketing …
“Ponked”? Guess I haven’t lived here long enough.
yup,and healthy fruits and vegetables here are pretty expensive,on my web show,i tell people to buy fresh frozen,for cost savings
I like to tell people that I was never robbed once in the bustling cities, but many times in “spiritual” ashrams … how’s that for contrast ? *g*
Save my sanity…for the end timer articles go to talk2action…
Got that from the ex, who was born/raised in LA.
yup…the poor are desperately poor….thats why i say that the grinding poverty ,can get to you after a while
Oh, I wasn’t robbed by poor people, only by greedy people pretending to be spiritual …
well ya know ehere the word thugs comes from,and pundit too…….”g”
where!!!!!!
Hey BT and Jane!
This is worth a post and a petition. A group of DFH’s were talking yesterday about everything going on in Ohio and we all came to one agreement: The media should freeze Palin out until she does one (and more) unscripted press conferences. If she cannot manage one (and it should be more) that alone should be the focus of the media to show she is NOT fit to hold the office of VP let alone President; thus, negating the GOP ticket.
A petition should be created.
Here’s a good article addressing her failure:

Cuba has 20Billion barrels of oil…double the original estimate. They should have kept that quiet until Bush and Co. were gone.

Ah, see where you’re coming from now, but Wales doesn’t count – that’s not English food :)
