How do you like your cheesy eggs?
- kattyeyes Apr 16, 2010 09:22 AM
Anyone who knows me well knows I'm a fool for cheesy eggs. I love them done up nice 'n creamy--slow 'n low, that is the tempo!--with Cabot cheddar (or whatever other cheddar of choice happens to be in the fridge) and am often happy enough with just plain ol' cheesy eggs on my plate. They are especially yummy with Penzey's Sunny Paris seasoning sprinkled in.
Over crispy hash rocks, too, as does a heap of them over biscuits 'n gravy.
Today I made a CEBA (or maybe a CEBAT?)...cheesy eggs, thick maple bacon and chunks of avo on toast. Boy, that was good. Not particularly attractive perhaps, but delicious.
So, let's have a cheesy discussion--how do you like yours?
re: Aravisea
Ha! I did that for lunch today - when I was working for Holiday they used to call it Eggs Saratoga. Used onion and chive cream cheese - it was goooood!
re: smtucker
I've never thought to do that, I always think of feta as more of a salad cheese, since it's not very melty. I may have to try that next time.
I used to make cheese omelets all the time, when I could go overboard on dairy without any consequences. But now I stick to a similar version of your CEBA, katty. But my little 6 y.o. LOVES his scrambled eggs with more cheese than egg, and it has to be cheddar, preferably orange, since yellow tends to blend in with the color of the eggs, and he swears there's never enough cheese on them, but it's just that he can't see it!
Nice and soft, almost as much cheese as eggs. I loaded up on Cabot cheddars yesterday while they are 2 bucks a throw, that will last a while. I like havarti eggs, too, but what a mess I make trying to grate it! Thin slices work.
I like a topping of chimichurri, or crispy chorizo nuggets, or fresh habanero sauce and a diced roma tomato if I deserve pain. Usually with pureed black beans and a hottened flour tortilla. Add a couple nuked Goya frozen plantains and I'm off to the races.
I forgot taco eggs--a favorite when there's leftover taco meat or chili...or even pulled pork. I recently frosted cheesy eggs over an arepa, topped with meat, cilantro, chopped onions and some salsa. Yummy folded up in a warm corn tortilla, too.
You folks do breakfast right. Keep 'em comin'...
I love an egg white omelette with grape tomatoes, mushrooms, and mozzarella. I like to saute the veggies first so that the tomatoes are almost bursting.
Or scrambled eggs with lots of gooey cheddar over super crispy hash browns.
My last semester of college, I had long breaks between classes. I would go home and make a nice lunch almost every day. A favorite was an egg white omlette with lots of blue cheese and avocado and whole wheat toast.
Sunnyside up, cooked 'til the whites are set. Top with guyere or cheddar and chives, then stick the pan under the broiler to melt the cheese.. Delicious, especially when served with a couple of steamed asparagus spears.
I'm really into grated pepper jack (super good melt), scallions and a little adobo sauce from a can of chipotles whisked into (soft) scrambled eggs. Savory, spicy and smoky- sounds like a good morning to me!
back in the day...
mixed with cheddar and jack and scrambled, then topped with more cheese and allowed to melt. or alternately, with jarlsberg and/or gruyere.
Some butter into the pan and gently swirl tipping the pan.
2 large or 3 medium eggs gently broken. Stir the eggs in one direction, but don't add extra air.
Oh this is about cheesy eggs, sorry I forgot.
Creamy eggs with little dollops of cream cheese, chives or best but scallions will work too. Top later.
Slow and low heat, gently add your cream cheese and fold it in. Pushing the eggs unto themselves towards the center, let the runny part go underneath.
and here they are in a tortilla for really tasty breakfast burrito
Fresh cracked pepper and sea salt, the best eggs ever.
re: chef chicklet
Lovely pics, chef chix! And my chives are back up on the porch, even.
I have also heard of, but never tried, cottage cheese blended into eggs (not so crazy when you consider it must be like kugel). It was something a radio announcer from my childhood would talk about...and there is an omelet or egg prep dedicated to him locally at O'Rourke's Diner in Middletown, CT: the Bob Steele.
As to chilaquiles, bushwickgirl, I never had them till I went to Cabo...and what I wouldn't do to get back there and eat them again. They are delicious anywhere, and a good friend even made them for me once, but I personally think they taste best within view of the ocean...and I can dance off any excess calories later at El Squid Roe.
re: kattyeyes
oh man, forgot about chilaquiles! They're delicious!
re: kattyeyes
Cottage cheese makes soft, pillowy scrambled eggs. You don't want to really blend it in smooth, but just whisk it in. It does make them take longer to cook because of the wetness of the CC. I like herbes de Provence for seasoning - perfect with eggs.
Chilaquiles, crispy fried strips of corn tortillas, scrambled with eggs, jalapeño slices, onions, jack cheese and topped with a nice pico de gallo. Chorizo on the side. Messy looking but delicious.
re: bushwickgirl
I do something similar, only always called it migas. Fry corn tortilla strips add onions and hot peppers throw in a couple eggs and top with farmers cheese or cheddar. Whatever it's called it's a delicious mess.
re: corneygirl
I have heard of both, what exactly are the differences between chilaquiles & migas?? I have Mexican friends that speak of both, but I never asked what the difference is.
re: Phurstluv
Aren't migas more "quick 'n dirty" and a major scramble-together vs. chilaquiles are more layered, kinda like a lasagna? I'm a Yankee...what do I know...this would just be my observation and a first stab at it. :)
re: kattyeyes
Hahaha, I hear ya, friend, you know where I'm from as well........... but you may be onto something. I may just have to look it up.
Food Lover's Companion says for chilaquiles, the ingredients are scrambled together, but MAY be layered like a lasagne. Migas aren't listed. Figures.
re: kattyeyes
In my limited experience migas are like a mexican matzoh brei and chilaquiles are kind of enchiladaish with eggs.
re: kattyeyes
Mmmmm....migas at Cisco's in Austin. The gold standard.
re: Phurstluv
Migas are always an egg-centric dish, with additions of soft corn tortilla strips, cheese, sometimes a little onion and a small amount of thin salsa. Chilaquiles may include but don't require eggs. The tortilla pieces are larger and crisped and serve as a base, rather than being all mixed together as migas are. The most common include chicken, tomatillo sauce, cojito cheese, and rings of raw onion and has a soupier consistency. Interpretations of both dishes vary widely, but not so much that one would be mistaken for the other
re: Phurstluv
Yes,I worked at a nice Mexican restaurant in the city where we served chilaquiles as a lunch offering, in the form of a soft lasagna, with layers of tortillas, tomatillo sauce, lots of cheese, onions, no eggs, no salsa.
I always called my version chilaquiles, and use crispy strips of tortillas with my eggs. I wasn't familiar with the term migas or maybe just didn't remember the dish. Well, now I am...
Not sure you can go wrong with cheese and eggs. Definitely a fan of scrambled with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and spinach (scrambles are always slow-and-low around here). Lately I've been enjoying omelets with a double-cream gouda and freshly chopped tarragon. Chilaquiles, too. Or scrambled with cheddar and ham chunks, sometimes with chives thrown in. Chorizo and chiles and any appropriate Mexican cheese---preferably with a little homemade salsa verde. And can't forget a fried egg sandwich with ham and swiss and lots of dijon.
re: eight_inch_pestle
3 or 4 Large Organic Eggs well done with Extra Sharp White Cheddar! Nothing else, some salt after cooking!
2-3 eggs with a dash of milk and a sprinkle of salt and depending on my mood I either fold in pieces of plain chevre near the end or just put some on top right before the eggs are done and let it melt all over it. I like my eggs just a little wet, soft and very creamy. =)
MmmmMMmmm goat cheese

Tucked away in the president's new budget is a proposal for a "BRAC-like" commission to propose cuts and contribution increases for military retirement programs. The changes would not apply to current retirees but to future ones (it is unclear whether any such changes would apply to current service members when they retire from the military, or only to future service members).
The acronym BRAC stands for base realignment and closure. The phrase "BRAC-like commission" means something legislatively analogous to the rounds of base-closing commissions that have occurred in the past, where a body comes up with a package proposal that then is voted up or down in Congress without the possibility for amendments.
The theory behind this is that if amendments are allowed, everyone will try to eliminate the change that gores their ox, resulting in a situation where no change ever gets passed. This same theory was applied in last year's Simpson-Bowles deficit cutting commission, except that the commission didn't attain a large enough majority to trigger the up-or-down vote provision. The cost of retirement benefits, including healthcare, to which service members pay only minimal contributions, threatens to overwhelm the Defense budget. That's why Panetta wants to take on this politically charged issue. It's not an easy issue even substantively, because it's likely that at least part of any savings from these benefits might have to be made up in current pay, though my instinct is that not too many 18-year-olds are thinking much about retirement when they sign up for or even stay in the military. I like the idea of a BRAC-like commission, but I wonder why it should be limited to savings from retirement benefits. First, just picking out retirement benefits adds to the third-rail dimensions of this. One of the merits of the up-or-down vote is that you take a package, which has various elements, each with the support of a different constituency, and other constituencies that may also support, or at least not oppose, the change. By limiting the changes to retirement programs, you get opposition from all the people who want the most expensive retirement benefits, but offer no other changes that such groups might be willing to accept, and that would create larger savings. So you bring out the one-issue opponents with fewer supporters to balance them. And substantively, shouldn't we be looking for other opportunities for cost savings other than retirement benefits? I wonder whether the Defense Department shouldn't be looking to expand the scope of a cost-cutting BRAC. I'm not sure exactly how you'd set the parameters. They would need to be narrower than the kinds of general deficit reduction proposals that the Erskine-Bowles Commission was charged with. You wouldn't want to have a cost-cutting commission looking at military policy like which weapons we should buy. It shouldn't include military bases, since those would be dealt with by a BRAC commission. If third rails are being approached, maybe such a commission might look at Buy America provisions or price preferences that add to the Defense Department's procurement costs? Cost competitions between in-house providers and contractors for more maintenance work? Other areas for such a commission?

When we entered a conflict we played catch up. We spent trillions of dollars modernizing, only to now throw that back into a heap. Will we ever learn? A well maintained military costs less than buying new equipment or training new service members. Oh, and the military retirees sacrificed and gave more to their country than 99% of AMERICANs! Make congress pay for their care...that should save a few dollars since they're mostly millionaires anyway.
I'm not intimately familiar with the defnse budget, but when you say "The cost of retirement benefits, including healthcare . . . threatens to overwhelm the Defense budget."- I suspct that is the reason for the narrow scope of the commission. I also suspect the answer lies hidden within the elipses above.
John Boehner and crew in the House will make sure this idea, which is not new, frankly, will never fly. Further, the hapless WH staff, not to mention the Obama 2012 organization, will also assure this idea is never proposed by the current administration. Panetta can't overcome that, and, to be honest, he has become rather a cheerleader for the troops, which is not quite the right posture for the Secretary of Defense.
How about a BRAC like commission for legislative branch retirement but the recommendation get voted up or down by the heads of executive branch agencies - seems only fair.
How about savings in the Congressional Retirement System? Isn't it a bit strange that one term in Congress qualifies you for a lifetime 100% pension, while putting your life on the line for your country only qualifies you for 50% of your wage afte 20 years of service? Is it really such a sacrifice to serve one term in Congress?

I submit to you that a state of lawlessness has been on-going since the day George Bush took office on January 20, 2001. If Congress can't get the Federal Department of Justice to respond to questions and cooperate with investigations that are clearly the job of Congress and the sitting president is part of these cover ups, then who is going to stop this lawless administration?
In signing statement, Bush asserts right to open your physical mail
President Bush quietly has claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant.
Bush asserted the new authority Dec. 20 after signing legislation that overhauls some postal regulations. He then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open mail under emergency conditions, contrary to existing law and contradicting the bill he had just signed, according to experts who have reviewed it.
Israel defies freeze on illegal settlements
Israel approved plans yesterday to build 330 new homes in a suburban West Bank settlement north of Jerusalem. The move was denounced by the Palestinian Authority as "a slap in the face of the peace process" and called on the Quartet of the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia to "act to get Israel to revoke the decision".
Saeb Erakat, the Palestinians' chief negotiator, said: "This is a provocative action by Israel that demonstrates its intention of further strengthening illegal occupation and colonisation of Palestinian territory."
Carlyle Group May Buy Major CIA Contractor: Booz Allen Hamilton
The Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest private equity funds, may soon acquire the $2 billion government contracting business of consulting giant Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the biggest suppliers of technology and personnel to the U.S. government's spy agencies.
To carry out its tasks at the intelligence agencies, Booz Allen has hired a dazzling array of former national security officials and foot-soldiers. In 2002, Information Week reported that Booz Allen had more than 1,000 former intelligence officers on its payroll.
State Of The American Presidency In Limbaugh
Why is impeachment off the table? Why is a real investigation of 9/11 off the table? Why is an investigation of the politicization of the Department of Justice off the table? Why are the Sibel Edmonds charges of nuclear espionage on the part of the State Department and the Department of Defense off the table? Why are we still in Iraq? Because not only do we have only one political party, we have a government of one, and Dick Cheney is its imperial, sole ruler. "Bush the bumbler" is out front taking the hits for The Establishment's agenda, and pretending he's in charge; he is no more in charge than was Alexander Haig at the time of the Reagan assassination attempt.
Of course, Israel has the right to blockade the Palestinian territories and impose curfews for days, for weeks, for months, denying people the basic necessities of life—food, water, medicine, electricity, freedom of movement, their very livelihoods. It does not mean to visit oppressive collective punishment upon the Palestinian population. That's just the way it is.
PM okays 750 new settlement homes, says fits state policy
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has approved the renewed construction of hundreds of an estimated 750 new homes in the West Bank settlement of Givat Ze'ev near Jerusalem, the Housing Ministry said Sunday.
TVNL Comment: Israel just keeps building on land that is not theirs and the US continues to give them OUR TAX MONEY!!! Is it any wonder that the Palestinians want to kill Israelites? The Israelis simply take everything they own away. How are the Palestinians supposed to feel? Israel behaves like Nazi Germany and there is no denying it.

November 28, 2014
Meridian, Miss. Wednesday marked the first day back for students across Mississippi.
And according to faculty at Magnolia Middle School, the first day couldn't have started any better.
Sixth graders are using period systems for classes, while 7th and 8th graders use the block system.
Either way, students seemed to happy to be back. But it was also a special day for at least one faculty member too.
Sherrod Miller, the assistant principal says, "I was at Meridian High as an assistant principal and assistant basketball coach and I left there in 2007. I went to be principal at Newton High School in 2007 and did that for 5 years. Then I went to be principal at JJ McClain for two years. I am excited to be back in Wildcat country. As always, it's great to be a Wildcat. So I am glad to be back in Meridian."
Miller says his first day back was filled with smiling faces.
"It's going great. The kids are excited to be back; the teachers are excited to be back. I'm excited to be back. Everyone is just happy to be back. I've never seen so many kids that excited to be in school," Miller said. "I woke up early this morning; my kids woke up at 5. It's just a general happy atmosphere to be back in school."
With students back in the classroom, it didn't take long for plans to take shape as the middle schools will be getting ready for a big science fair in the early fall.
Amy Grady, who teaches 8th grade math, says, "We are preparing for the science fair. (We'll) probably be ready for science fair late September, beginning of October. All the kids here at Magnolia Middle School will complete a science fair project and we will get ready to compete here locally."

Cubs suddenly sharper in 7-5 win over Marlins
By GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com May 18, 2011 9:38PM
Koyie Hill (55) congratulates Reed Johnson, who hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning off Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco. | Mike Ehrmann~Getty Images
Updated: August 28, 2011 12:21AM
MIAMI — Must be the naked guy.
That's as good an explanation as any for the Cubs' sharper play and sudden ability to get key hits Wednesday night in a 7-5 come-from-behind victory over the Florida Marlins at Sun Life Stadium.
After all, the Cubs were stagnant again and couldn't hit with men on base through four innings until that crazy, wild-haired naked guy sprinted onto the field and did his floppy dance in center field.
And the Cubs thought their flaws were overexposed this week.
Within moments of security removing the streaker, Cubs catcher Koyie Hill stopped laughing, stepped to the plate and led off the fifth inning by slapping a double past third baseman Greg Dobbs.
''That was awesome,'' Hill said. ''That guy gave a good effort.''
A few moments after that, the Cubs turned the bad-baseball tables on an opponent, taking advantage of an error in left on a two-out hit by Starlin Castro to score one of two runs in the inning for a 3-1 lead.
''I always think these things are so ridiculous, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth,'' manager Mike Quade said.
And even after Ryan Dempster was unable to hold the lead, the Cubs came back with a two-out hit by Hill, followed by Reed Johnson's pinch home run to tie it in the sixth.
Marlon Byrd led off the eighth with a go-ahead homer for his first RBI since May 4. And when Alfonso Soriano followed with a single, rookie Tony Campana got a chance to show off his oft-mentioned speed as a pinch runner.
Campana stole second, took third on a Hill bunt and scored on a bouncer to a drawn-in Dobbs, going head-first just under the tag at the plate.
Energy. Heads-up baserunning. Errorless play in the field. Timely hitting.
From these Cubs?
Must be the naked guy.
Consider it a rally cry if the way the Cubs snapped their three-game losing streak leads to anything significant in the other direction over the next few days or weeks.
Until then, they'll take what has become a rare and elusive day in the win column.
An even rarer day without a costly mistake.
''It's gotten to the point now where we've emphasized it,'' Quade said before the game of recent breakdowns in fundamentals. ''I needed to say things the other night and did. And now we've got a bunch of guys here who really give a damn, and everybody wants to change this by themselves. And it's going to take a relaxed group of guys that's focused on what they're doing.''
For at least one night, they found an unexpected way to get a team relaxed.
Who knows? If the Cubs can get on a winning streak (they'll need to win three in a row for the first time this season first), maybe they can market the whole idea like the Angels did with the rally monkey a few years ago.
Until then, they've got at least a few more parts of their game to shore up. And consistent starting pitching is one of the biggest.
Dempster, who had a miserable April after earning the Opening Day start, had his streak of quality starts snapped at three when he struggled through a long four-run fifth inning that featured three consecutive RBI hits with two outs.
Setting the stage for the whole mess was Dempster hitting pitcher Ricky Nolasco with a pitch leading off the inning.

How to Be a Good Host at a Wedding
Take some pressure off of the bride and groom by welcoming guests to their wedding
By Debby Mayne
Hosting a wedding is an honor and carries the responsibility of insuring that everything runs smoothly at the wedding and reception. The larger the wedding, the more hosts the bridal couple will need. Family, good friends or professional hosts can fill this position. After the wedding ceremony, the hosts often take over.
- What You Need to Know
- As soon as the host accepts the job, he or she may attend announcement parties, showers and other events related to the wedding, taking notes, assisting the wedding couple and keeping track of gifts and favors.
- The majority of a wedding host's responsibilities take place at the ceremony and reception. You can relieve the bride and groom of the stress of answering questions and giving directions.
Step 1:
Leading up to the wedding, the host may be assigned the task of double-checking with vendors and venues for times, payment or any issues that need to be addressed.
Step 2:
Due to the wedding host's visibility, appearance is important. The host should wear a dress or suit that is appropriate for the style of the wedding. Most wedding hosts will wear a corsage.
Step 3:
Before the wedding, the host will greet guests and answer questions as they walk into the church or wedding venue. After the wedding, the host should be the first person to arrive at the reception to greet guests again, pointing the way to the gift table and guest book.
Step 4:
The host should discretely deal with minor problems. If there are any last-minute changes or issues that need to be addressed, the host will handle them. For receptions where alcohol is served, the host should be aware of anyone who has had too much to drink and alert the predetermined people of authority to escort them out and insure a safe ride home or to their hotel.
- Tips & Warnings
- Each bridal couple has different needs from a host, so it's a good idea to talk to the bride and groom about your responsibilities and expectations.
- The host should never be an adversary, so if there is an altercation during the wedding, someone with authority (venue manager, police or bouncer) should take over.
- If the wedding host is a close friend or family member, they may or may not be considered part of the bridal party for pictures and events.

Bridesmaids bouquets
Once you determine your approach to the bridesmaids' dresses, follow suit with their flowers. Formal affairs may call for smaller simpler versions of your bouquet. For a more casual wedding, bridesmaids may carry different arrangements, each highlighting different colors from your bouquet.

Thanks to HE Hillary and Lady Nuala for their generous sharing of "tools". The Program Director of the Library allowed the scribal community to participate with the Museum and St. John's Bible in a display for the months of June and July. Hopefully, this coupled with a Workshop in Illumination, 6pm June 27th at the Library, will generate some additional interest in the art we all love so much from those who are not presently participating! In Service, Carletta Hillary Greenslade <hillaryrg at yahoo.com> wrote: Scribes, I know Lady Carletta from Rosenfeld will keep us posted on the happenings at this great exhibit, but meanwhile I pulled the following off the internet: http://www.tylermuseum.org/ I'll let you read the details for yourself, but this Bible is completely made with vellum, in the historical processes with handmade materials and often tools. Yes, the illuminations maybe a bit modern, or post-period, but still beautiful to behold - and this exhibit will not be in Ansteorra again, if ever - so plan your schedule accordingly and head over to Tyler this summer.

When the future WWE Hall of Fame inductee made his debut in professional wrestling in 1965, there were not a lot of prominent Asia people in the country, so Harry Fujiwara, who was actually born in the United States, opted to stop using his real name and shortened it to Mr Fuji.

February 25, 2014
In the past, Kevin Nash has been pretty adamant about not wanting to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He's even gone as far as to instruct his wife to decline the offer if he were to pass away.

The belief is that he will wrestle under his real name for the time being.

April 4, 2014

While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage. Shortly before he decided to leave WWE, Blanchard ended up failing a drug test because of cocaine, so management had no choice but to fire him. Bobby Heenan had to replace him in the match at Survivor Series 1989.
May 1, 2014
While he does not get featured as much by WWE nowadays, Pedro Morales will forever have a place in company history.

Morales even held the WWE and tag team championship, which he won with Bob Backlund, at the same time.

April 27, 2014
For as long as she has been on television, Stephanie McMahon has been a topic of interest for professional wrestling fans.

April 24, 2014
Since she has been around WWE for a very long time, wrestling fans have been wondering how old Stephanie McMahon is. She was born on September 24, 1976, which makes her 37 right now.

She is no longer in charge of the creative department.
April 22, 2014
The boring gimmick that Lance Storm received while working in WWE was actually a little jab at internet wrestling fans. Many viewed him as a guy that was just too boring to be a star. In actuality, though, Storm has a pretty good personality and a sense of humor backstage. WWE went with the gimmick in order to try to something to see if it would give him momentum.
April 13, 2014
Back when he was a teenager in Mississippi, Kamala was a bit of a thief. He became known in town as a burglar who came from a poor family.

April 11, 2014
In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role.

April 4, 2014
Back during the 1980s, one of the most talked about segment in professional wrestling was when Uncle Elmer got married on national television.

Barack Obama Legacy

thegreek - As you've pointed out, Obama is NOW asking for multiple billions of dollars to "solve the problem". Shawn Moran (Vice President Border Patrol Council) said that when the BP requested funding north of $100,000,000 for increased enforcement along the border, they were rejected. The Border Patrol is a segment of the Department of Homeland Security, so it would seem logical that it was a functionary of Barack Obama's that wouldn't push for the funding request.
Here's where Kendall steps in and reminds us that HHS possibly turned down a shipment of peanut butter going to some school 20 years ago.

"I expect my representative to tell him to..."
Hey...it would be nice if the Reps in both political parties would do something. If Obama is wrong, then I wish the Reps would grow a pair and do something instead of worrying about reelections.
And if it turns out that his plan is the right thing to do, I wish they would put their egos aside and approve it.

" It is unbelieveable that someone would stand up for a president.."
You have some huge blinders on don't you? I have not stand up for any of the President's policies now have I? All I have done is do the sinful act of trying to be realistic and moderate.
"I would say your tax money ken but most Obama worshipers dont pay any tax."
You are so deluded.

"Oh I have done research. That is why I never voted for him and only hope that you spoiled brats that did.."
We have that in common Greek....I never voted for him either.

"all of Obama's sins are forgiven for what Reagan may have done. Does it change anything?"
I don't care about whether you or anyone else forgives him for anything. We have laws and justice that should see to that.
All I want is for the political drama queens around here to stop acting like Obama is doing something that is so uniquely wrong that no other person ever did anything like it.
There is nothing wrong with the President playing pool, riding a horse, drinking a beer, chopping wood and other things. Why? Because he has a freaking staff that is in contact with him at all times. Only a fool would think that if the President is playing pool for a few minutes that he must be completely out of touch with the world.

"that wants to point to the wrongdoing of others,"
You are being rather dense Kun. Have I tried to say Obama is good because of the bad other Presidents have done? No I haven't. Leave the drama behind you, it would do you good.
"in order to justify the righteousness of continued, unpunished and unaccountable actions of someone he/she obviously idolizes."
HAHA...I don't idolize Obama. I just realize he is a person and not the spawn of Satan that many on the Far Right wishes he was.
If he goes unpunished, it is Congress's fault. If he has done something actually wrong, then Congress needs to put their big boy pants on and do their job.

AND He goes to Texas meets with Perry, coms up with a figure of 3.7 BILLION that HE and the Dems need to solve this problem. !! Where did he get that number??? And then in the middle of the speech starts slaying the repubs for NOT comprimising ??? Dictator says he needs 3.7 Billion blank check. I expect my representative to tell him to stick his head up a donkeys arse !!

Now if Obama, Pelosi and Reid would take their personal fortune and fly over and drop it on us that would be different. But since they are hogs, they aint gonna do it only with my tax money and kunects tax money. I would say your tax money ken but most Obama worshipers dont pay any tax. 47 PERCENT RECEIVE !!
Posted 139 days ago.
Oh I have done research. That is why I never voted for him and only hope that you spoiled brats that did will not be the cause of the downfall of the country because of your blindness and willingness to take all them TAXPAYERS "gold coins that fall out of the sky" as you said. I know Kunect. Thanks for the advice but I get seriously tired of this lame mentality as you do also so I argue. It is unbelieveable that someone would stand up for a president that is so inept, but is likeable because he smiles and is cordial. I like Obama as a person. I have said he would make a great sports or movie star but as a leader, he cannot take action to solve anything at all. Hasnt yet in 6 years and aint gonna cause he is not a business leader like Romney or a leader at all.
Posted 139 days ago.
thegreek - You may do as you like but I see no logic in trying to argue with a mental derelict that wants to point to the wrongdoing of others, from years past and under very different circumstances, in order to justify the righteousness of continued, unpunished and unaccountable actions of someone he/she obviously idolizes. Doesn't that practice scream out immaturity and irresponsibility?
Little Susie says "Look mommy, I know you caught me taking a cookie and it was wrong for me to do it, but Billy took one last month".
Kendall78 says - "...but it was ok for Reagan to ride a horse or shake hands with West Virginians during the Cold War?"
OK Kendall, all of Obama's sins are forgiven for what Reagan may have done. Does it change anything?

"Congress is getting pretty fed up. I would say they gonna hammer him soon."
HAHA...yeah real fed up. The Dems are going to hide from Obama so they can get reelected. It doesn't matter if they actually hate him or love him..it's good politics.
Look at Bush during his last 2 years, the Republicans wanted nothing to do with him if they were running for reelection.
The Republicans do NOT want Obama to leave by impeachment. They want to tie Obama like a dead Albotross around the necks of the Dems for the next 2 years.

"WHY you people defend him appalls me."
I haven't once said that Obama is doing a good job. I just don't see the point in trying to make it out as if he is the worse thing ever. I argued against the Left when they tried to do it to Bush and I will do it against the Right that tries to do it to Obama.
Obama isn't the first President to make mistakes and he won't be the last. Many of our problems are political illusions that are made worse by people that don't look at things in context.
I swear, Obama could have a plane fly over WV and drop solid gold coins for the people and there would be those that would curse him because a coin hit them in the head and hurt. From a political POV, Obama is doing the right thing by ignoring all the irrational haters. Bush learned that trick too and ignored the Far Left and still did his thing.

Congress is getting pretty fed up. I would say they gonna hammer him soon. GONG. Look it up.. He has broken the ACA for starters. He doesnt like a law he doesnt enforce it. You brought up use of Executive Orders. His CONTENT of his orders is the problem. Control this, control that. Far cry from pardoning some people or sending money and relief to South Africa !! And bragging to the constituents that he will use his pen and phone... PHHHFFTTT .. Nonsense !!! You need to do some unbiased research but you wont believe your own lying eyes so forget it. Yeah everythings fine. In November I will say, I dont know what happened cause all the Dems got ousted!

"not lift a finger by way of sanctions on Mexico for holding one of our service men."
What kind of message is that to send the world? It's ok for us to hold people from other nations without trial for years and years in Gitmo but don't you dare hold one of our people because he might have broken one of your laws. Oh...he's a marine..of course he should get extra good treatment.
That US Citizen is about to get a trial and it only took a few months. We have foreign nationals in Gitmo for years without trial. How the heck can you say we should put sanctions on Mexico for them enforcing their own laws.

WHY you people defend him appalls me.
Posted 140 days ago.
Greek- if he is violating his oath so badly, why hasn't Congress did anything about it? Why hasn't the Surpreme Court?
Could it be because he hasn't broken the law?
The laws of this nation is not so cut and dry as people want it to be. As head of the Executive Branch, Obama has the right to use the Executive Order and Congress has the right to smack him down if he is wrong.

Anywhere in LA actually serve perogies!?
- g
- GrillEmAll Feb 15, 2009 10:03 PM
Im from the midwest and LOVE heavy eastern european foods, especially perogies. I have yet to find one place in Los Angeles that actually serves them! Im startin to get home sick for the things! Anyone on here know of a place that actually serves perogies or any other eastern european delights? That would be a god send!
re: schrutefarms
Or just take a walk down Santa Monica Blvd east of Fairfax and head to the freezer cases for all the vareniki and pelmeni you care to eat. Also get some of that ultra dense Russian sour cream. Head home and fry 'em up with onions and serve. Great stuff.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
right on! thanks for the feedback guys!!!
re: GrillEmAll
Much in the same way that the term "dumpling" means very little to Chinese people, a generic catch-all phrase does not exist... rather they refer to the specific type of dumpling (shui jiao, jiao zi, guo tie, etc.)
I should say that I'm no expert in Russian cuisine, but I do know that when referring to Russian dumplings, the term "pierogie" is sort of a misnomer... an American catch-all that doesn't mean a lot to Russians, who refer to the specific dumpling types as "vareniki" and "pelmeni". If you go to those SM Blvd shops east of Fairfax, you'll encounter many Russians with sometimes limited english spoken, so it's relevant to your search. Just be sure you know which ones are filled with meat, and which are filled with sour cherry :)
Mr Taster
Out Take Bistro in Studio City has Potato Vareniki (Wikipedia says they're a Russian/Ukrainian version of pierogies) that have been on their menu for at least 15 years. Potato, Caramelized Onions, Sour Cream, Chives. I think I've gotten them as an app every single time I've been there. Mmmmm...
re: FranklinJefferson
My understanding is that pierogi are neither vareniki nor pelmeni. Pierogi are something entirely different, yet the term has become a shorthand way in America to refer to any eastern european dumpling,

A word from Filini Restaurant at Radisson Blu Birmingham
Reached by an open staircase from reception, Filini is the chic, spacious, softly-lit restaurant of Birmingham's eye-catching Radisson Blu Hotel. At one end are an open kitchen and a wood-fired pizza oven. Throughout are walnut floors, mirrors and floor-to-ceiling windows encouraging a sense of brightness and space. The menu is Italian, with an emphasis on quality ingredients and classic cooking techniques; diners can expect to be tempted by dishes like Carpaccio of beef with rocket salad and shaved parmesan cheese; or braised lamb shank in red wine. The menu features a range of antipasti (including three sharing options), risottos, pastas, pizzas and secondi such as sea bass with potato and guazzetto sauce. Customers rate the pleasant, welcoming ambience; capable and friendly service and quality Italian food.Continued

- Disappointedclements7VIPDined on 25/10/2014I have dined here previously but I was told the menu had been changed and I found the choice quite limited. The pumpkin soup was excellent. My friend and I had the sea bass which was served with a crust of cheese that did not complement the fish. The sauce was much too sweet (maybe honey) and I did not finish my meal. A generous amount of vegetables accompanied the meal and had I known I would not have ordered a side order of mixed vegetables (it would be helpful if the waiter pointed this out). The carrots were to hard to cut but the peas were nice. Although this venue is extremely convenient for the theatre I am unsure whether I would return.Special Features:
- DeliciousDsK84Dined on 6/10/2014Filini Birmingham is a stunning venue with excellent service and the food is truly delicious. I had the risotto cakes for starter which were crunchy on the outside and soft and cheesy in the middle. For main the swordfish with anchovies, capers, rocket was sublime. The side of Garlic butter potatoes was a perfect accompaniment. I should add that the service provided by Katie was attentive without being intrusive. I will definitely be going back to try more of the menu. Only downside the menu is a little pricey and the Restaurant does close relatively early.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- soullessGilly50Dined on 1/8/2014Initially only two people in whole restaurant. When we left only 5 other tables booked and it was a Friday night! Food boringly average. Over salted - even salt on the salad!!! The music was elelevator style and not Italian which would have improved the atmosphere. Waitresses very helpful and attentive but then they were not exactly rushed off their feet!!! Overall a very disappointing experience and not one I will ever repeat.
- A huge disappointmentFoodieDined on 28/5/2014We were there just last week and what a turnaround last week was a wonderful experience this time around a major disaster luckily the staff were very attentive shame about the food
- Very limited for pescatariansSKHANVIPDined on 21/4/2014We ordered items from the set menu as it had similar fish options as the a la carte. One our mains had arrived we were informed they were out of the main. Very shambolic. We ordered a different main but had to pay full price. Such a shame it's not more organised.
- The following 643 reviews are from the Filini Restaurant at Radisson Blu Birmingham reviews archive.
- Not Great but not badMarleyDined on 23/11/2013Four of us choose due to reviews seen on Trip advisor. No atmosphere, yet sat night at 8pm we would have thought there should have been. Service ok , little slow with serving drinks. Food ok nothing . Risotto was perhaps the best dish and one of the party really enjoyed this, but felt it was quite a big portion. The others had cannelloni which they say was poor, pasta over cooked, way too much sauce. Quite disappointed really.Special Features:
- Pre-theatre mealSimonWDined on 6/11/2013Service was speedy and efficient. Value was OK, Food quality was good, although lacking somewhat in flavour. A good overall experience as a pre-theatre early evening dining venue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice mealnmajDined on 5/11/2013Food was well cooked, presented and flavoured, with a modern ambiance in the department. It makes for a good meal for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Valueclements7VIPDined on 15/10/2013I dined pre theatre with two friends. The complimentary bread was excellent. We enjoyed our meal which was served promptly but we were not rushed - we were pleased about this as we were going to the theatre. The restaurant was very quiet but people were arriving as we left. We would definitely return and it is conveniently situated to the Alexandra Theatre. Recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was good, but the worstOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/8/2013Food was good, but the worst service of any restaurant that I can remember. Despite the restaurant being only half full, we were told we could only have a starter or a main course in the 1 1/2 hours we had before going on to the theatre. 30 minutes after giving the orders we saw the chef preparing the pizzas. The main courses arrived after 55 mins. My wife's chicken arrived after the rest of the party had finished their food, and just as I was paying the bill. We left; my wife had nothing to eat. Simply appalling.
- FilinidodgykebabDined on 8/6/2013Went to Filini's in Birmingham for our wedding anniversary. Lovely meal.The food was great.staff very curteous and helpful. Definatly going again..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very GoodtopdinerDined on 23/3/2013Great food, with a great relaxing ambience, in a dimmed (but not overly) and comfortable setting. The fillet steaks were excellent, as were the carpaccio and squid starters.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent customer serviceellieDined on 8/3/2013I took my boyfriend here for a birthday meal, we were hoping for good ambience and customer service and we certainly got it. The service here was excellent and the staff were attentive to all our needs, it was a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend for couples dating or birthday meals,thanks for making it so specialSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre theatre dinner - very impressedLuciDined on 6/3/2013We took advantage of the top table 50% off mains and sides. We were welcomed warmly at just after 6pm - pre theatre. The bread basket was a treat in itself - tasty focaccia and flatbread. We skipped starters and both had sea bass with spinach and potato cake - absolutely delicious. Shared a vanilla cheesecake and strawberry ice crea. Both had a glass of prosecco. Bill came to £34 including service. Lovely atmosphere overlooking Holloway Head roundabout - nicer than it sounds! Will definitely return if that deal's still goingSpecial Features:
- Good size portionsGastronomeVIPDined on 4/3/2013Have visited Filini several times and by far on this occasion, the portions were substantial. Tagliatelle was rich and creamy, ideal for pasta lovers. The taste of the shank of lamb was overwhelmed with too much sauce, though it was cooked very well in that the meat just fell off the bone. Panna cotta was good end to the meal. Service was friendly throughout however it was efficient to start with but as tables were being filled, it slowed down dramatically to the point we had to wait 5 mins for our change.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall an okayish mealfoodlov3rDined on 1/3/2013Food was above average though pricey even with deal through top table. were intitally overcharged even though I had mentioned the meal deal from onset, bill was later adjusted. Where we were sat if was quite cold and had to let them know twice before temperature control was adjusted - funny thing was that they knew it was cold in the resturant.Special Features:
- Birthday celebrationbargainq1Dined on 24/1/2013I'd always wanted to go to the filini restaurant as the radisson is such a great building. The restaurant had low lighting but it was intimate & romantic. We went for my mums birthday for the pre theater dinner offer. The staff were very friendly & accommodating. The food did take some time to come even though the restaurant wasn't busy & they were very apologetic & offered complimentary drinks. The main meal of seabass was lovely however it was a good job we ordered sides as it wouldn't have been enough. The dessert was lovely too as our complimentary item we had a scoop of ice cream each & it's the best pistachio ice cream I have ever had. All in all it was a good night & the toilets were very modern & cleanSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great restauarantssquaredDined on 11/1/2013It was a really nice location and ambience but since we booked the special thetrae menu at 5.30pm on a friday night it was relatively empty. apart from that it was really tasty food for a good price with the special menu!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre theatre mealBhandiDined on 5/1/2013First visit to the Filini restaurant. The restaurant decor and fixtures were quite impressive. We chose the pre theatre offer as the price seemed extremely reasonable, there are selected menu items for this offer which is to be expected and limited choice for mains but what we ordered was presented to high level and enjoyable. Side orders such as potatoes and vegetables have to be ordered seperately which is not detailed in the pre-theatre menu offer however these are quite a small price to add on to the two course menu offer.Reasonable drinks menu and front of house service is professional and attentive from start to finish if unsure of a menu item they offer for you to sample a small portion first. Would visit again for pre theatre mealSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely mealweemisssunshineDined on 28/11/2012We had a great meal at Filini - food and service were both great and the wine was also excellent. The restaurant was quite cold and both of us put our scarves on while eating as the staff seemed to think it was fine. We noticed other diners had done the same too! We found it really good value, but we had the deal - it would be quite expensive without it and probably only suitable for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedClazabelleDined on 24/11/2012Great deal through TopTable but the restuarant unfortuantely didn't deliver. Half of the table's main meals had to be returned and were replaced free of charge but by the time they arrived it was late. For the other half who had enjoyed their main meals it was requested that dessert orders were taken, we didn't see our waiter again until we had to go over and request the bill! The replacement main meal plates were also left un-cleared on our table until after we left. We spoke to the manager who kindly took the 4 replacement meals and 2 bottles of wine off the bill but we then had to go over to our waiter again to ask to pay! The resturant looks pleasing and we had greatly anticipated our visit but unfortuantely were left disappointed.
- EnjoyedGreedychopsDined on 24/11/2012Good service, nice food (not exceptional), very dark restaurant with little in respect of atmosphere that being said we enjoyed it and would go again. Especially with the top table deal.Special Features:
- radi bluKALIDined on 24/11/2012The service was outstanding, the ambiance was relaxed. The food was delicious, especially the sea food stew. The. Only.problembwas that the temperature of the room was a bit too cold.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre-theatre supperKyliegirlDined on 21/11/2012We chose the pre-theatre supper which was excellent value for 2 courses and most enjoyable. Friendly, attentive service by yhe staff made for an enjoyable start to our theatre night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A lovely, proper Italian in BrumLDNNICKDined on 17/11/2012Nicely lit, this is a modern Italian restaurant which is comfortable, and offers a well balanced menu that goes beyond other Italian offerings in the city. I'd recommend the asparagus and poached egg to start, and the chocolate fondant with pistachio ice cream to finish in particular. The Barbera is a well priced option for red wine.I would recommend this to a friend.
- dined on the top table 50%gastraulDined on 17/11/2012dined on the top table 50% meal deal therfore excellent meal for the price.Very high standard of food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had the offer of 50% offBBDinerDined on 7/11/2012We had the offer of 50% off food without that it would have been too expensive. We enjoyed the meal and will certainly go again with an offer or perhaps the pre theatre menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingUnamusedDined on 3/11/2012My mother (retired chef) ordered the veal, which was fried in old oil that had been used repeatedly. After one taste she told the waitress she was not happy with it and wanted something else. When the bill came, despite only having one bite of the meal they put the whole charge onto the receipt. They then refused to remove it off the bill until we stated that we were adament we would not be paying for it. The service was poor.

- Good value on a Sat nightfor groupsGBEaterVIPDined on 20/10/2012We ate as a group of 7 on a Saturday. I was also staying as a guest at the hotel. They were able to accomodate a large group at relatively short notice. We used a food offer (25% off) which tipped the balance. The food was tasty, but not spectacular. Service was average.The food did not come out at the same time, multiple waiters, they forgot some of the sides and I had to chase for the bill. I would go back for the food, but they do need to work on the service level. GBSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, small portionsBenjiDined on 19/10/2012Our pre-theatre experience was rather pleasant. This is a comfortable, stylish restaurant with views over Birmingham's Smallbrook Ringway. We had to wait a bit for our cocktails but when they arrived they were very good. The main course was excellent but we were rather disappointed by the small portions. There wasn't enough variety on the dessert menu to tempt my partner and my tiramisu was sadly lacking in coffee and alcohol. In general, a good dining experience but could be improved.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A lovely anniversary dinnerAnonDined on 11/10/2012We went to Filini for an anniversary dinner and the romantic setting was perfect for such an occasion. We are both vegetarians and there were good choices to suit our tastes. Excellent value with the 50% off food deal. Would recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- anniversary at fallinisundDined on 11/10/2012Very pleased with the service, staff was very courteous and friendly, they also took trouble In making a vegetarian meal which I had requested and was not on the menu. the restaurant had also provIded a completary dessert to celebrate our annIvessary whIch I thInk It was a very nIce gesture. We had a fantastic time. However meal would have been rather pricey if it was not for the 50% discount of food bill.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Staff were attentive but ambuiancefoodloverDined on 21/9/2012Staff were attentive but ambuiance was lacking. Food was average but seemed over priced
- Pre wedding DinnermystreyshopperDined on 14/9/2012We were looking for a relaxed evening meal before our daughters wedding. The service was a little slow, but the food was excellent and the resturant had no trouble catering for the two Coeliacs in the party. The staff were attentive and friendly .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disgraceful!DsK84Dined on 10/9/2012I dined here with friends on 10/09/12 & our experience was horrendous. First after ordering our dishes we were informed that no Pizzas were available, then told that the Tuscan stew was not available. Finally we managed to find something on the menu that was actually available. However the Fillet Steak was awful,it was tough & had to be returned. The other diners were not keen on their Spaghetti Bolognaise. Filini still tried charging us for everything even after all their mistakes it took us about twenty minutes of arguing with the staff that they should offer some kind of compensation that they finally provided us a small discount on the bill.All in all a disgusting evening, with atrocious food and despicable service!!
- Total rubbish & rip off!SenceDined on 4/9/2012After seeing the 50% food offer on this restaurant we decided to try it out. We were in Birmingham on business & wished to treat ourselves to good food wine & service- all of which we didnt experience. Staff are all students with no knowledge of wine or food. Zero ambience & the bill a total rip off. Will not return or recommend.
- Dinner for 14!MRH01VIPDined on 3/9/2012Filini restaurant looked after us really well! We were showing at the NEC & took our reps for dinner, they catered brilliantly for us & did it with a smile. Great evening where the food was thoroughly enjoyed- would definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent restaurantReSuDined on 31/8/2012The service was fabulous, couldn't fault it - we took our good time in choosing wine, drinks, starter etc and the waitress asked but didn't hound us. The decor and ambience was great - relaxed atmosphere. The wine - amazing! The food - starters were very good but the main was disappointing - it was pretty tastless and portion size was not really worth the price, this was the same for the side dishes. We didn't have dessert, nothing looked tempting enough. For me it was a good job that I had the 50% off mains offer, otherwise I would have begrudged paying the full price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

MENOMONIE, Wis. (AP) -- A missing German shepherd has been found safe after its owner died in crash on Interstate 94 near Menomonie during Thursday's snowstorm.
KMSP-TV reports that Molly was the constant companion of a 45-year-old Minnesota trucker, John Philippi. His nephew, Andy Anderson, brought Molly to safety Saturday.
Philippi's family says he was driving toward Illinois and trying to avoid something ahead when his truck tipped and was struck from behind by another semi. He was on the phone with a friend and told her to hang on because he was going to crash. Both cabs were separated from their respective engine compartments on impact. Molly survived and escaped the scene.
The dog was spotted limping after the crash, but was checked out by a veterinarian and deemed healthy.

ELECTION 2012: UVK officially confirms Smer's landslide victory in general election
11 Mar 2012 Flash News
The Central Electoral Commission (ÚVK) on March 11 officially confirmed the results of Saturday's general election, in which Smer party received 44.41 percent of the votes and will take 83 seats in the House, TASR newswire reported.
Aside from Smer, five other parties have cleared the 5-percent threshold needed to win parliamentary representation. The Christian Democrats were the runners-up on 8.82 percent, followed by the Ordinary People and Independent Personalities with 8.55 percent. These two parties will both send 16 representatives to parliament.
The largely ethnic-Hungarian Most-Híd party was backed by 6.89 percent of the voters (13 seats), while the erstwhile leading coalition SDKÚ party received only 6.09 percent, slightly more than the liberal Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) on 5.88 percent. SDKÚ and SaS will have 11 MPs each.
The Slovak National Party (SNS) and its arch-rival the ethnic-Hungarian SMK fell short of making it to parliament on 4.55 percent and 4.28 percent, respectively. Both will retain the status of parliamentary parties by virtue of gaining more than 3 percent and thus will receive state funding to run their operations.
