Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everybody saw this coming.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Let there be snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

We still have time to mess this up!

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Food for Thought

As part of a series of lifestyle changes that I am undertaking to add to assist my healthy and longevity, I am finally breaking down and visiting a dietician/nutritionist. At any rate, whenever I discuss diets/dieting with my mother, she invariably mentions her favorite diet of all times, one that one of her co-workers always uses.

The diet? To eat only foods he doesn’t like. Works like a charm for him, and the lbs shed off. My problem is that other than Stuffed Peppers and Liver and ONions, there are no foods I dislike. I like everything.

At any rate, point ofthis post- What foods can you not tolerate?

    I find even the smell, nay, the SIGHT, of string beans to be utterly repulsive. Abomination!

    An old but excellent book: “The Doctor’s Quick Weight Loss Diet.”

    It has great, simple background information. Clear, concise, practical tips along with what they do and why they’re effective.

    If most of the info is adopted, it’s sane, comfortable and workable

    Hmmm. Fried scorpion comes to mind. And some of the other dishes here.

    Brussel sprouts and beef liver. But I would probably eat them if I were hungry enough.

    Stewed (not battered and fried) okra.

    Anything Thai (can’t do peanuts. Period) and Brussels sprouts. Don’t do sweet potatoes, either.

    Grilled liver & onions? Yum!

    Beets… I don’t like anything about them – The way they look their smell, or most importantly their taste.

    how about the way they mess with your digestion? You’ll always know if you ate beets yesterday!

    Anything with mayonnaise, unless it’s used as an egg/oil substitute in baking. I’ve had cakes made with it that were just fine. Other than that, I agree with Calvin that it’s “White Death.”

    And cold soups, too. That’s just wrong.

    Beets & Brussel Sprouts. Everything else is fair game.

    Turkey breast. Not the deli stuff, but the cottonball-dry stuff that 99% of turkey breast will turn out to be when baked. Simply foul (heh).

    Gosh, I love most of the stuff y’all listed. Brussel Sprouts… mmmmm.

    Liver does make me a little queasy. I guess gizzards are pretty gross. And I really don’t like hard boiled eggs… I guess my cat’s canned food makes me heave sometimes, ‘specially if I have a little hangover on. But until I’m living on social security, I won’t have to worry about eating that.

    Eggplant. Its texture is like snot. Which is a little strange, because I don’t mind raw tomatoes at all. But eggplant is disgusting.

    DJ- You aren’t cooking your turkeys right, then. The key to moist breasts is to bake the turkey upside down for half the cooking time.

    If it ain’t pizza, forget it!

    Seriously, after the nasty experience of taking a slew of bones in my tongue and cheeks with my first taste of fish as a kid, I can’t stand the stuff today: no kind of sea food. Y’all may have mine any time.
