Friday “Desserts for Dudes” Open Comments

Before we begin the annual naval gazing and rehashing of the year that I find so extremely boring and annoying, I thought I’d share something more fun. We always devolve into our daily politician bashing and world problem solving, but I like to do something light and fun. We’ll get to the serious stuff later. But first:
Chocolate Dipped Beer Marshmallows
Be sure to use the proper liquid. I don’t like to promote alcohol usage, but I’m hoping the denizens of the Big Comfy Couch can keep control of themselves. (What is it that equates “alcohol” with “manly”? I could see a manly relationship to say, hunting, or building something. You know, those skills used to feed and shelter a man’s family, but getting sloshed, with all the accompanying non-manly behavior, is a manhood test? I don’t get it. But, I digress…)

Pale ales and IPAs would tend to make the marshmallows taste bitter (unless you’re into that!).

Coconut Cornflake Fried Ice Cream

Using a deep fryer or a pan filled with hot oil is something we have quite a bit of experience with. What doesn’t taste better fried up? Hell, we’d eat a deep-fried shoe in a second. These ice cream balls get coated in a coconut and Cornflake mixture and then quickly crisped.

The Lebowski Shake

It’s basically the White Russian you wished you could grab at a McDonald’s drive-thru. The Dude abides.

Bourbon Marshmallow Bacon S’mores
S’mores take us back to Cub Scouts and gathering fire wood to cook up our first ever outdoor meals. That meal would consist of three ingredients: Chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows. This version for a grown-*** man gets a flavor boost from bacon and a bit of Maker’s Mark.
2-Minute Chocolate Chip Cookie for One

Does the name sound ultra depressing? Yes. Is it also simple and insanely delicious? Yes and yes.

Southern Comfort Cupcakes

It’s time to break out the bottle of SoCo you haven’t opened since making some shots with lime as a freshman in college. Besides getting mixed into the frosting, the booze can also be found in the Southern Comfort Caramel Corn on top of your handheld dessert.

So, go add bacon to your s’mores or something, and enjoy your end-of-year celebrations. Carefully.

    Stacy McCain, on the Dana Loesch suit against Breitbart.com:
    Having further explored the background on what is now a matter of litigation (Loesch v. Breitbart.com), I think three things are obvious:

    1. Andrew Breitbart never would have let this happen;
    2. There’s much more to the story; and
    3. Dana Loesch has already won.

    I am always wary about expressing opinions when I don’t know the facts. I’ll go this far: if Loesch’s lawsuit is accurate, somebody over there was not treating her properly.
    And if that happened, it wouldn’t be the first time. I never said this before, but I was personally the recipient of some pretty shabby treatment myself from that organization, after Andrew died. It was bad enough that I suddenly had no interest in contributing to them — as long as the people who treated me that way stayed in charge. And they have.

    I placed the above portion in bold because I recall Patterico loosing a long time and very strong front page contributor, Aaron, to Breitbart and Aaron went over there with high ecpectations and with Patterico’s full blessings.

    Good morning Hamsters. Seems as though the weather is getting ahead of the weather wizards again and moving faster through their scenario. The front arrived sometime early this morning, as it was 59 when we turned in and momentarily 56 at 6 but dropping steadily. Very heavy mist/fog then and miserable. Now 48 borne by a stiff north wind that has the neighbor’s flag flying straight out. Still lightly misty but clearing some from the NW. Regrettably only about 0.05″ in the plastic gauge, though who knows how much moisture came as mist and fog that can’t be measured. Still miserable to be outside. The mares are inside and quite content.
    I have a few Christmas cards yet to do, and will start them out by writing On the Third Day of Christmas.

    Need Kneemail for my 80 year old sister. She was down for the holidays and we had to take her to the emergency room Wednesday night. She has a Hiatal Hernia and about half of her stomach has popped through her diaphragm into her chest cavity. The other half suspended upside down and pinching off at the intestine. The Thoracic-Esophageal Surgeon examined her yesterday and the plan is for operative clearance by the Cardiologist today and surgery on Monday morning.

    But researchers at Texas A&M University are now making a bold claim about wildfires touched off by electricity.
    “We can prevent many of those fires,” insists Dr. B. Don Russell, who, alongside his team, has designed a nondescript silver box that they say might just be a silver bullet.
     “We have a number of patents that are pending,” he said.
    Russell explains the device, which is installed at a substation, constantly scans miles of power lines and can detect a badly damaged line in time to quickly de-energize it.

    My office help just left. She’s babysitting for a friend while she rushes back to the hospital. Her best friend’s husband hasn’t been feeling well the past three months, and when he started bleeding from his nose, they rushed him to the ER. It seems that the alcohol he’s been drinking tore up his gastric system, and he’s bleeding internally. His kidneys have failed and will never recover, if he manages to pull through this crisis. There’s a good chance he won’t make it.
    He will be leaving behind three children and a wife. Keep them in your prayers.

    “I hear your dog was poisoned,” the judge said softly. I was startled. It’s highly unusual for judges to contact reporters during a trial, especially when they’ve already been accused of bias. There was a pause as Swearinger took a breath. “My dog was drowned,” he said, referring to his collie. “We found him dead in our pool. He’d never go near the water on his own.”

    Back in the seventies when you and I were holed up in Austin, they were quite active in recruiting young people. And probably still are. I wandered into their location (on Rio Grande, then?) and looked at the literature. At twenty years of age it gave me the willies and still does. Though completely ignorant about them, I instinctively recoiled.
    But then, they have always preyed on the maladjusted and weak-minded.

    We used to have a lab who showed no interest in the pecans until we went outside to pick them up. Then she’d sniff ’em out and eat them, shell and all. As soon as we stopped, she stopped.

    Even gas stations are enticing students away from college. Katorina Pippenger, a high school senior in the tiny town of Bainville, Mont., said she makes $24 an hour as a cashier in nearby Williston, N.D., the epicenter of the boom. Her plan is to work for a few years after she graduates this spring, save up and flee. She likes the look of Denver. “I just want to make money and get out,” she said.

    Nope. It will be because the Tea Party were “obstructionists” for too long. The Obama/Media complex will make it so through their Minister of Information aka MSM. Mitt was wrong when he talked about the 47%. It’s actually 50.9%. How else can you explain voting for an incumbent who by all measurements is the most inept man to hold the office in the history of this nation? 50.9% of the voting public are either communists or just plain stupid.

    I’ve been lying down a lot today and have caught more daytime talk radio than I generally do. Someone, I think Rush’s sub, interviewed the author of Shadowbosses, a new look at government employee unions. With facts and figures that cast some light on how Bronco Bama got re-elected, when it seemed impossible that he could, because he stank so badly.

    So do you think that this is true or that the Lamestream Media will try to make it true?

    I’d say that 50.9% ARE just plain STUPID!
    3. So do you want to go over the cliff? Do you care? If so, why would it matter either way?

    #50 Hamous,….so we’re in agreement. I thought that you, might of thought that the “Tea Partiers” were screwing things up. I’m glad that they are, Bone-Head offered a compromise I’ll bend over and you have your way, and it didn’t pass because the conservative wing of the republican party said NO! They may or may not be gone in a couple of years but at least they’re doing what they said they’d do. Bless em.
    I’m sure that you remember when Clinton shut down the government and blamed it on the House, I.E. Newt and that was the way the Lamestream reported it and so it’s history…..sigh 🙁

    The Unions get their payoff if the candidate they work for gets elected. The guys running romney’s campaign get paid whether they win or not—and the only way to get rid of them is to change the leadersjip of the party that supports them.

    Regarding getting pecan meat out of shell fragments once cracked, we learned from a local pecan grower at his store how to save time and energy. Put the cracked nuts in a paper grocery bag, fold over the top to close it, and shake it vigorously. Most of the meat will fall out of the shells so there is little picking to do, and you just have to separate the loose meat from the shell fragments. Try shaking what’s still stuck in the shell a second time before digging it out. That should save much discomfort for arthritic hands.
    Our pecan trees were loaded this fall, still plenty on them and on the ground after each windy front comes in. We have natives and papershells. Have not picked any ourselves for several years but let relatives of the fellow who takes care of the barn and handyman stuff come pick them for themselves.
    Spouse once counted the trees on our property from looking at an aerial photo and came up with 80 on 6.4 acres. Most are native pecans in the pastures with several cedar elms and a few live oaks. In the yards there are more live oaks and red oaks than papershell pecans, several redbuds, one American elm and one silver maple. Quite a collection.

    I also head Mark Belling filling in for Rush today and his interview with the author of Shadowbosses. Voter fraud under those circumstances becomes less a possibility and more a probability. And it certainly explains what happened better than anything else when there are numerous reports of more Obama votes than registered voters and 0 Romney votes in some precincts.
