In a thread over at corrente is a lovely recipe, said to be from Alice B Toklas (and it does sound like recipes from her Flavors and Aromas cook book, which I have)…
I would love to have chickens, by which I mean keep laying hens.. and of course I cannot, but I do have eggs… 
And butter.
For the present I content myself with a large poster on the fridge door, exotic chickens, 4 of them, in what is all but a fashion lay-out, exotic of feather, headress and plumage, proud in stance… fully the equal of a Paris cat-walk.

Alice B., that is.
In a saucepan melt 1-2 Tb for each egg (or as much as you can stand). Add salt and pepper to taste. Break eggs in a bowl so no shells get in and add to melted butter one at a time. Whip egg until blended before adding next egg.
Fresher eggs and butter, the better. The trick is in the whipping them together over gentle heat. It ends up kinda fluffy.

ms_xeno posted this, at the end of the last thread, so carrying forward:
Basically, we’ve had an experiment forced on us…
Watching Geithner on with Rose.. about the only thing of interest is I think he is on valium. they slowed him down…
He says the bill is “strong”. So we know what we know: weak weak weak watered down lobbyist bill.
Yeah, except, asshole, metal speculation puts many businesses, like one of my primary clients on the verge of bankruptcy.Fucking $1250 gold? Are you kidding me?1?
$20 silver?!?
Do I need to give you a really depressing chart of gold sales from when gold was $400 to gold sales as $1250 and show you how gold sales have become non-existent? Do I need to show you the margin reductions in silver just to keep a company going? An American company, based in NYC, who manufactures in NYC and prides itself on that?
None of these people could give a fuck. GREAT! Gold went to $1,300! selll! Oh, it went to $1,180! BUY!
FUCK you
FUCK everything you are.
Fuck the glittered toilet paper with which you wipe your ass.
Hey… can I get a job? No, seriously dude, I need a job, and you fucked me out of my last one, because you made yet another sector of jobs where I live disappear. So really, can I get a job?
It is so endlessly rigged……… right left and center.
LOL. “Glittered toilet paper.”
I’ll remember that one next time the temp overlords are playing whack-a-mole with my timecard. It’s already happened four times in the last five weeks. >:
Good line… as we trudge thru sludge.
Banks paid $1.58 billion in excessive bonuses
With the financial system on the verge of collapse in late 2008, a group of troubled banks doled out more than $2 billion in bonuses and other payments to their highest earners. Now, the federal authority on banker pay says that nearly 80 percent of that sum was unmerited.
…
Even so, Mr. Feinberg has very limited power to reclaim any money. He can use his status as President Obama’s point man on pay to jawbone the companies into reimbursing the government, but he has no legal authority to claw back excessive payouts.
I always wonder why they even bother to write articles along these lines. “Blatant fraud going on…Administration can’t do shit.” I can really only take nine or ten of these a day before I stop reading their paper.
I guess because 8 more years of “Blatant fraud going on…Administration won’t do shit.” is so much worse. Oh, and Tea Partyers raping your children Ooga Booga Booga!
Anything to avoid a look at Ob/Admnistration…
I am shocked. Shocked!
We’re getting very nasty storms here in SE WI tonight. A big sinkhole opened up in a major intersection, several of the major arteries are flooded. I’ve had brief power outages … I shut the computer down for a while when the lightning was really hitting hard and fast. I had several very close strikes nearby, setting off car alarms. Tornados reported in the ‘burbs. Over six inches of rain reported in very short amounts of time.
Wow. Stay safe!
we’re in a calm period now … supposed to be more later and tomorrow.
oh madman, be safe!
Pic of sinkhole swallowing an Escalade. That’s a VERY busy intersection in the city. A really good pizza place burned down at that same corner last year, and the aftermath as they put it out and cleaned up the mess snarled traffic for days.
If it’s nto sinkholes, it’s the side of the sandy cliff returning to the ocean… if not that, then massive trees falling.
Snarling traffic tho… that’s a bitch. And I bet repair will take a good while.
lol
Missing white girl in DC: Cheryl Cook, Ag Dept Undersecretary
Last seen calling Shirley Sherrod to demand her resignation. No reward offered.
oh she is the one who made that stupid panicky call to Sherrod on the road…
Food fight!

House Panel Will Try Rangel in Ethics Cases
hehehe…
MSNBC played a clip of Luke Russert asking Rangel if he was worried about his job. He attacked little Luke and MSNBC for asking the question.
Rangel: “It doesn’t sound like NBC asking these dumb questions.”
Translation: “I thought your network was in the tank for us.”
Oh Cholly was rattled.
Genu-whine rattled, and not from Baby Pumpkinhead’s asking.
If I had to guess (or predict) (same thing!) (HA!) … I think he’s out.
WaPo noted Ragel’s statement that he looks forward to the September House Ethics Trial. Sure he does. He’s takin shit from Punkinhead McGee now.
Riiiiiight. Welp, Wangel doesn’t seem to be too much diggin playin the Dozens like he used to. Now that it’s about his dozens. and dozens. and dozens of deals that include bank fraud on top of the politically smaller potatoes tax evasion. ( Oops!™ Sorry!™ an “oversight”™ ) Just the fact that he was being asked, his whole carriage IMO read “You Little Shit. The Presumptuousness!
Gone is the smile and mask, stripped of his Chair..
Honor among thieves, he stayed too long, AND he most definitely will LOSE a House ethics trial (talk about oxymoronic) ..so….cue
the only thing he has left is the loyalty of his “good friends”, The Gentleman HardyHarHarHar and the Gentlewoman FuckYouCharlieWeHaveOurOwnAssesToThinkAbout.
“for the good of the Party”™ “Korean War HEERO”™ and “after a Lifetime of Service”™ .
And intonations of lynching™™™ , by surrogates anyways, and Rangel himself, ex officio certainly. All that said, I hope he stays. LOL.
Scratch Claw™ and all…
Well the Dems sure don’t trot himout to intone anymore… one big fat savings.
A few years ago, 2003 or 4 – which ever year was a big anniversary of the Selma march, crossing the Pettus bridge… I found a long quote from Rangel that blew me away.
He had been sent down to march, as a young Democratic party black. Now, he was not wet behind the ears, this was nto his first trip out of some cosseted middle class Harlem upbringing, he had served some years before in Korea, in the newly (a few years before) desegregated Army.
So, not a baby. Everybody gets to be very young, a product of their parents’ home, etc. But he was over 30…
In current comments he recalled how his feet hurt on the march and that he did not understand what it was all about.
Lordy. Goodnight and Good Luck.
Good bye Charlie.. I hope he goes.
Sounds like he was getting his street cred ticket punched then, and later pandering in one of the New Post Racial Eras we’ve had since the whites first floated, “You have corn, tobacco, and hemp, eh?”
He also was a great beneficiary of the Demo / CC machine tools in NY.
A classic move with a straddler, acceptable to Catholic and Jewish DP / NY Labor bosses as much if not moreso than his ability to straddle Black and Spanish Harlem…
Oh think it should be nighty night for Charlie too.
But just after a little more television.
Sounds like he was getting his street cred ticket punched then
Yes….
and time for it to end.
My latest: Olbermann: “Let Obama be Obama”
thanks ‘nip….
You, Madame, certainly demolished Olberman and the Obamabots
in one fell swoop. LOL. Gawd, that DK piece you cited is utterly embarrassing. I figure that ridiculous “blackwaterdog” is some in-house sockpuppet, serving up the daily online meal equivalent of all ya can eat marshmallow circus peanuts. Why… I don’t fuckin know….
I really liked your development of Klein’s piece, your commentary and conclusion on the making of the political consumer, (Buy More and Better Dems comes to mind) and where it morally and politically , like it’s inherent economic component, leads: to bankruptcy.
Merci.

hmmm Willie Brown is on local am news saying he thinks an additional play-in in the Sherrod story (without exonerating the WH or Dear Obby) is the GA USDA, that Sheryle Sherrod has been a thorn in their side for a long time, and they jumped at the chance to be rid of her…
And we sure have not been let in as to what calls Vilsack made to whom in GA or the Ag dept down there to ask about her.
As even the next to useless Donna Brazile said, had the WH GOOGLED “Sheryl Sherrod” they would have known this was a crock.
I still say Breitbart and his various and sundry partners are dancing for joy… and Obby is so nervous it is hilarious.
Daniel Schorr died. I bet he goes with the Ed Murrow obituary.
I cheerfully admit I got very tired of the Schorr brothers.
Sayonara.
This succinct piece noted well Schorr’s recent packaging of I/P during the BiBi visit on NPR., IOW: Sigh™, need mobetta™…. negotiations™.
The whole “elder statesmen” of journo’s thing is a joke..IIRC he, like Broder, added to the pile burying Helen. When in Rome, etc…just another well paid masseur to gore in the end.
Rick Sanchez: “Liberal bloggers gather in Vegas – and they’re angry at the white house.”
Sure, sure they are…
Send Money Now!!
Yep! Hoo Doggy! Nothin like bein in Las Vegas
where it’s a 108 FUCKIN DEGREES and hittin a 111 tommorow and Sunday! Oh ya be sure to attend Pastor Dans revival and pray the AC holds up in the rented Vegas blog bunker.
I see Bloghole “Hunter”is there and recently wrote a laughably entitled piece Leaving (for) Las Vegas.
(Sotto voce).
“Hunter”.
Of All Ya Can Eat Orange Marshmellow Circus Peanuts™.
So Hunter S. wannabe, so Thompsonesque edgy, the guy wrote, no!- declared, no! MANIFESTO’d! – rest assured- that he was THRU with the Party without the Public Option …LAST YEAR.
Can’t I has Just one more circus peanut, pleez?
Is Obama Planning a Plan B for Warren?
Make room under that bus!
“I have the highest regard for Elizabeth,”
oh that sounds like a no… to EW, which is a yes to Timmy…
he’s such a fucking piece of shit. Fucking toady.
With Dems like these…
Jim Webb.
and…
Tell me he did not just say that…
Imagine the WASP Elite March on Washington. Just for the hors d’oevres and the Jazz Combo at the Lincoln Memorial alone!
(Marching gear available thru Brooks Brothers and Talbots.)
It’ll be the whitest jazz possible… horn trios a la Pete Fontaine at the Fairmont in NO…
Sure won’t be jazz and blues from some hot little Mississippi Delta joint iwht a corrugated tin roof…
They could turn the mall into Northern Ireland and let the WASPs and Catholics fight it out.
Where have all the WASP elites gone?
Long time passing…
I have to read the whole of it, we might finally be getting the Real Mr Webb.
But i htink he is just getting the words out there, to end Affrimative Action. A mess of a program, but without it, many companies will never or hardly ever hire non whites. Well … amend that: unless brougt in under H1b visas and severely underpaid.
gah.
But affirmative action programs also help other minorities: gays, disabled etc. and there are certainly white people in those populations. He seems to have forgotten that.
And he’s going to get pounded for his headline, “..the myth of white privilege”.
Popcorn!
well he is just looking at from a race based view. Which is his obsession… I don’t think gays get too much help, one reason they want to pass ENDA, a sorta partial kinda mebbe weak bill to end discrimination for gays (some gays, transgendered got left at the bus stop), at the Fed level.
No doubt. But to me it seems he’s saying, “Okay, you black folks got your help. Time to step aside because white folks need it too.” Which is just as ridiculous as saying that women should just shut up because they’re now on some equal footing with those “elites” as well. And we all know about the pay disparity that still exists.
I get the underlying message but it doesn’t work in a less than perfect world.
Then again, he’s parroting Obama’s sentiments – the guy who seems to believe that everyone ought to be handled by government the same way when it comes to receiving help (and which is just another display of his appeasing personality).
He wants to go back, basically. I plowed all thru his site back in 2006 I guess it was, when he ran, imo he is an imperialist and white supremacist. NO question.
I question a lot of the social engineering of the past 50 years, aside from Civil Rights, de-segregation and so on… but he is coming at it from what really IS a racist standpoint.
There is a perfectly valid argument to make that Affirmative Action needed to be written differently… a broader based law… but it is what it is. And it has created a lot of division, which is one reason I think t as devised in the ways it was…
But those are not the arguments he makes…
This from the man who actually said if he had not brought his Vietnamese wife to the US she would have ended up a “snaggle toothed” used-up woman.
Lovely.
Yup, isn’t he a shrieking misogynist from way back?
But he looked good in combat boots so the netroots supported him.
He said he opposed Iraq War – and the liberals, online and off, swallowed it… what he did not add was he thinks we should save all our energies and plan for war with China, 20 years down the road.
