What is it with sammiches that makes them so controversial? The GCS camps are firmly – some say irrevocably – divided between those who believe that a GCS must be actually grilled and the philistines who think that a pale substitute made in a toaster and a microwave (what kind of evil sorcery is this?) is adequate.
We now turn to the Monte Cristo. A sammich consisting of ham and cheese grilled in butter, then dusted with powdered sugar. An optional side of grape jam is provided for dipping.
To aid in discussion, here is a debate on the merits of this uniquely American take on the French croque monsieur.

Racist midget Spike Lee deliberately puts elderly couple’s lives in danger. Arrest him now! No justice no peace!

Spike Lee, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, et al are what they are, do what they do. The silence from their enablers is reprehensible and infuriating.

Sugary sammiches – Why wouldn’t you just put some ham slices in an Italian Cream cake?
Dispicable.

Well, that’s just good ole American breakfast fare right there. Some poofy frenchy girlyman sammich with powdery stuff all over it for lunch is another story.

Before the chain closed in Houston, the Monte Cristo was my favorite sandwich at Bennigan’s. However, a Monte Cristo is not just grilled, it is then coated in a batter and deep-fat fried. At Bennigan’s, the dipping sauce was raspberry jam.
Their menu symbol for this sammich was a little cardiac unit gurney. Also note the ashtray on the table in my link. 🙂

#2 Timbo: A reasonable person could reasonably conclude that Spike Lee RECKLESSLY ENDANGERED that elderly couple by erroneously tweeting their address as the one belonging to Zimmerman. The goal of tweeting the address was for a racist, enraged mob to lynch Zimmerman. Lynching was wrong when it happened during the last century and it is just as wrong in this one.
I would think that the elderly couple has a very powerful law-suit potential action in this case. I can not imagine a jury of reasonable people coming to a different conclusion; remember, I said reasonable so that would exclude the likes of Al, Jesse, Sheila, and Shammy. -

What’s with these Hollywood kooks?
Mad Men star January Jones eats the placenta of her son Zack
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/video/january-jones-placenta-meal-sparks-debate-16003924
She talks about how nutritious it is and all the other mammals do it. Animals do it for 2 reasons, one, animal babies have no odor and the placenta is licked off so predators can’t find the baby, and two, the only tool a mama has is her tongue so she licks it off. The only tool she has to clean her tongue is to swallow.
I then commented to wife Dee that maybe she should predigest the food also. Danged if Dee didn’t find this
Alicia Silverstone Feeds Baby Her Chewed Food!

for all you pig-eaters out there, ya gotta try this:
take a couple pounds of boneless country style pork ribs, cut in cubes about 2″, season with garlic salt and cayenne pepper and sear in a black iron skillet. You are not trying to cook the ribs yet, just getting a good sear on them. Chop an onion and carmelize in the skillet you just seared the meat in (and no, do not wash the thing between the ribs and onions, you want the grease and little bits in there). Dump the seared pig, onions and a can of unsweetened pineapple chunks with the juice into a pot and let simmer, covered for about an hour or so. Dish out with a spoon onto a couple pieces of bread and serve open faced. It is called a sloppy pig sammich. -

Airbus A380s are having some serious problems with the Rolls Royce Trent engines. This is after cracks in the wings, definitely not cool. No wonder 0 decided to not allow Boeing to build another plant in a non-union state, they have to keep it fair for Airbus. One of the comments had it pretty good:
Do you know why the British never succeeded in the computer business?
They couldn’t figure out how to get a computer to leak oil. -

If not by gators, possibly by skeeters.
Those dang blood-suckers will drain me dry if I let them.
That brings up a memory….years ago, when Hubby was just Boyfriend, his family was building a house (almost completed) on the San Bernard River, near Brazoria (the town). He told me of walking into the garage one day and wondering why someone painted the bottom half of the walls black. There was a perfectly straight line of black from about 3 ft high, down to the floor, all around the garage walls.
They were mosquitoes. /shudder
I think that was the same year that some cattle died from lack of blood. Literally, drained of blood where they stood. /shudder

Airbus is a political entity. Designing & manufacturing significant aircraft assemblies all over the planet and then transporting them in special airplanes, ships, barges etc. to Toulouse for final assmbly is commercially non-viable.
The result of this political nonsense is huge financial pressure on employees & suppliers.
The burden of accounting paperwork and pressure to deliver to tight time schedules is killing all attempts at sensible engineering.
The design and construction of the aircraft is suffering to the extent that flight safety is endangered.
Engineers are disillusioned and de-motivated. Most of the really competent engineers have retired, or left the industry, to be replaced by Muppets: Multiple Power-Point Executive T**ts.This guy appears to be quite the realist, definitely an old school, do-it-right kind of guy.
We, the Airbus fabrication and assembly workers, would like the world to know we conscientiously build the A380 to the highest specifications possible. Alu-aqbar.
I’m pretty sure this one was intended to be snarky, and darned well done at that.

The EPA is working diligently to make energy in all forms more expensive in the USA for no benefit to the average American or for pollution concerns. It does, however, put tremendous power in the hands of the EPA and makes us less competitive on a global basis. In short, it takes food off of the individual tables across America.

Since it is recipe time…
Great for hot summer day…
Mrs. Shannon finally found a use for acorn squash. Cut squash in half, deseed.
Place squash cut side down on a shallow baking sheet that has a small amount of water.
Cook in 375 over for 20 minutes. In sauce pan combine butter, a bit of brown sugar, white wine and chopped, fresh strawberries (original recipe called for any dried fruit).
Dump off water from baking sheet, turn squash over and ladle fruit mixture into cavity.
Return to oven and bake some more.
Refrigerate squash till chilled.Very, very good. And I’m not much of an acorn squash fan.

Handsome Son’s best friend from his school days lives just down the street. My kids’ friends call me “Mom,” which I like, so he does, too. In return, I call him “The Second Son I Never Had”.
Second Son is now a manager at the local hardware store. Now that they have a postal station inside the store, I get to see him more often, which makes me happy. He surprised me day before yesterday with some plants which were about to be thrown out. I got four large tomato plants, one cilantro, and two cucumbers. I planted them yesterday. If Second Son doesn’t come and get the two tomato plants he said he wanted, I may plant those, too!
It’s good to have a Second Son.
Handsome has started a new job with an HVAC company, and he’s loving it. His busboy job should be over this week, and he’ll go full-time with the a/c work. They’ll pay for his tuition to get certified at San Jac in the fall. I’m glad he’s happy. I always thought he’d be like his daddy, working with his hands; it just took him a while to figure it out for himself.

Good afternoon Hamsters. Another cool (58) and foggy morning gives way to high clouds and now an overcast afternoon. Rain chances are minimal–here at least. Pollen count is extreme for live oak blossoms, and they continue to fall like snow on everything with in reach. Must sweep the sidewalk and driveway again.
Maybe Spike Lee could hire Dennis Rodman as a bodyguard or something so Dennis can catch up on his bills. 🙂

42 and 43,
Just how many Republicans were there at that time in the Deep Democratic South? I wonder where all those Dixiecrats ended up after the Democrat Party began to change?
Just how long did Texas go after Reconstruction before electing the first Republican Governor? If you wanted to serve in public office; you ran as a Democrat.
Everything you said was true, but political parties evolve and change and that includes the Republican Party as well.
Don’t like the platform your (or any for that matter) party supports; then just wait a while and it will swing the other way.

And your point is exactly what ?
That the Democratic Party is somehow excused for its virulent racist behavior because there was no other party for bigots to join in the South ?
That all political parties vacillate between racist and non-racist ideological poles ?
That Southern racists ran like wildfire to the Republican Party because Dick Nixon played the dog whistles like bagpipes ?
Once again, Simple, you prove to be one of the most clueless people to ever man a keyboard.

This is what Hubert Humpry said at the 1948 Democratic ConventionThere will be no hedging, and there will be no watering down — if you please — of the instruments and the principles of the civil-rights program.
My friends, to those who say that we are rushing this issue of civil rights, I say to them we are 172 years late. To those who say that this civil-rights program is an infringement on states’ rights, I say this: The time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadow of states’ rights and to walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights. People — human beings — this is the issue of the 20th century. People of all kinds — all sorts of people — and these people are looking to America for leadership, and they’re looking to America for precept and example.Many consider this the turning point in the Democrat Party’s commitment to equality for all.

That behavior is still practiced by the Ds today, in the form of Welfare, AFDC, foodstamps, and other programs to keep them on the gov’t plantation instead of working and being productive. The bought votes for peoples lives.

This is funny, former Black Panther Bobby Rush, got the bums rush while citing Bible passages and wearing a hoodie on the House of Representative’s floor. There’s a rule against hats.
Hears something you’ve never heard a Republican say before, ‘‘members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor.’’

First, Hubert Humphrey was the last honest, decent Democrat in American politics. Citing his 1948 speech is a pathetic reach in trying to justify the subsequent criminal activities of the Southern wing of the Democratic Party and their willing enablers in the North.
Oh, where to start with someone besotted with delusions and blinkered by their own ignorance ?
I grew up in the South and you did not. That is a place to begin. You don’t know what it was really like and I did and I do. I was born in Houston 60 years ago.
My family fought desperately in the trenches for desegregation, for the repeal of poll taxes, for the right of every black citizen to vote freely and unencumbered, for the right of their children to attend schools available to everyone else. My grandfather was the old liberal Texas Senator Ralph Yarborough’s campaign manager and my parents organized the protests at UT in Austin over the law school’s rejection of Heman Sweatt, the first black applicant there and the case that made Thurgood Marshall originally a name in black households across this country in the late 40s.
(the only southern politicians to vote for the 1964 Civil RIghts Act were Texas Senator Yarborough and Representative George H.W. Bush)
Yeah, I know.
I remember being ostracized in my own neighborhood as a young child over their treatment of our beloved household help. My parents, in the 1950s, took a teenage black girl down and got her a Social Security card and paid in every week because my father said it as unfair for domestic help to be deprived of that benefit when they could no longer work. They continued to do so for every one who worked in our home since my parents were small business owners who could not be home with their children.
I remember the fights, my disputes, my grandfather as president of the local school board being a social outcast over allowing black children into that rural school district. It was ugly and the image of those white and colored drinking fountains is seared into my memory. I always, always drank out of the colored one as a child.
My mother, the last long holdout in my family to migrate to conservatism finally found her nemesis in Bill Clinton and told me, in 1992, she could never vote for a man she couldn’t trust. The rest of my extended family, old Texas liberal Democrats, had long ago abandoned the fraudulent Democratic Party. My family is a classic example of the tectonic shift of Americans from the Democrats to Republicans. And it had absolutely nothing to do with race.
You can try all you want with snark and cynicism to portray it differently, but you know, I was there and so were millions of others. We know the trope is false and a lie.
In summation, I would say you haven’t the slightest idea what you are talking about and, like most lame Leftwing Yankee fools, you rely on tired cliches to support whatever that is you construe as an argument.
I recently described you as a worthy adversary. Well, I retract that and have to find you a jackass in the first and foremost definition of the word.

Wish I could claim the same from my childhood but growing up in Lubbock and on to Hereford, Tx., I honestly do not remember any of the white drinking fountains and such. Never was around any of it I suppose, after moving to Houston and graduating in 1976, we had two blacks in the entire class.
Only memory I have is my Grandmother referring to the black woman down the street from her as – you know. But it was not a derogatory term, Grandma sent food and goods to her all the time.

My class tonight was the institution of the Eucharist. Reading John 6 was quite a revelation for some of my chirrens. There was also a reconciliation service going on, and about half of my class went to confession. Some of them didn’t confess because the confessions were done face-to-face instead of behind a screen. They’ll have to go to a different church before Easter. Some were really nervous because they haven’t confessed in so long that they’ve forgotten how. I told them they weren’t the only ones, that the priest would walk them through it. I finally got to reconcile after class, and my priest didn’t even make me say the Act of Contrition.
He did give me some unusual counseling. I didn’t expect the advice he gave me, but I understood where it came from.

52 Texpat,
Guilty as charged. I am clueless sometimes, which is why I am always trying to expand my education. Did I detect something personal in your barb? I am not sure I could live with myself were that true.
I will try to explain this once more. Texas went from 1874 until 1979 without having a single Republican Governor (for a long time Republicans were known as Carpetbaggers)
If one aspired to run for public office…one ran as a Democrat during that period. I was not asleep during my Texas History classes and in that group you can see Conservatives, Liberals, and good old fashioned Populist-Progressives.
There were a lot of racists in the Democrat Party during that period along with Irish & Italian Catholics, Trade Unionists, Rich Southerners, minorities, and just about anyone else that did not fit into the Country-Club WASPish mold of the Republican Party at the time. I’ll bet there were a lot of awkward moments at the pre-1948 Democratic Conventions. Do you suppose that was where the term “floor fight” was born?
Party Platforms are like our beloved Texas weather; if you don’t like it, then just wait a little bit and it will change.
Sometimes you just have to go home and drink a beer and have a good belly laugh at the comedy that plays out before us.

I do not remember segregated drinking fountains in public spaces in West Texas. But I don’t remember being out in downtown very much anyway. Dropped off at the theater for the Saturday matinee, that’s about it.
Midland public schools were segregated, but in my high school years, there were “cultural exchange programs” sort of like a talent show, where the black high school sent their talent to put on a show for us, and Midland High did the same.

Ahh the sweet smell of revisionism on a Wednesday evening, it smells like ……………..
Obviously I cannot refute your experience or the other millions like you. The desegregation of Houston demonstrates that the issue is not as simple as other make out. Now about the lame Leftwing Yankee fool part, the final vote on the civil rights act was:
The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7%–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0%–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%–15%)
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5%–95%)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0%–100%)
Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%–2%)
Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%–16%)Let me guess, it was those Yankee Democrats and Republicans jackasses who held back the brave southern Republican liberals from voting to provide every colored family with 40 acres and a mule.
So now you claim to have have joined the ranks of the conservatives, I won’t even bother to post their role models. But that would be a over simplification, No I am afraid sir, the diagnosis is more severe: you are a Republican liberal.
Wear the mantle proudly, the party needs more of you.

Actually, the platforms of the Democratic and Republican Parties have changed very little over the last three decades so I’m not sure what it is you are talking about.
You implied the racist inclinations of the dominant forces in the Democratic Party of the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s were somehow understandable because the poor racist bastards had nowhere else to go given that the GOP was still regarded as a Northern interloper not to be trusted. If only the Yankee Republicans had been socially and culturally acceptable, the poor bigots could have jumped ship to the Republicans and purified the embarrassed Democrats.
I don’t buy that crap.
The Democrats have always and forever been about power, not morality. Their justifications and accomodations of racists well served their purposes back in the mid-twentieth century and it serves their uses today.
The Democratic Party has, is now and forever will be dedicated to accumulating force and territory over whatever it can claim as its dominion and let the residents be damned. They don’t care now and never have about genuine people.

I was first called to jury duty in ’92. Those unfamiliar with the old Galveston courthouse it was a tall skyscraper and on the property there was an oval garden with a water fountain on one part of the oval. Being an engineer of the symmetrical sort, it was obvious it was unbalanced and if one looked closely on the other side of the oval it was possible to make out a set of mounting screws and remains of plumbing. While I was poking around, an elderly black person watched from a bench and detecting my interest volunteered that that location was where the colored fountain was. The point is, every time some folks sit there they remember what it was and what it is.
People don’t forget those who help them and those who don’t.Now, I have allowed myself to fall into the orbit of generalization, folks can be changed. But let’s not break our arms patting ourselves on the back while pronouncing that back them some of our best friends was colored. It may be true, but it seems declasse to brag upon it.
