Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Late Night Horrorshow Open Thread: Another Reason to Scotch the Iowa Caucuses

We know how Iowans feel about their breakfast pizza, but have you considered Froot Loops on pizza? Well, now's the time to consider it, as the Forest Ave. location in Des Moines of Fong's Pizza has added it to their menu. https://t.co/oCWfy3VhSb pic.twitter.com/PepQHm06M2

— Des Moines Register (@DMRegister) February 26, 2021

The summertime corn dogs are bad enough. You just know this atrocity would be forced on the (mostly) innocent volunteers and voters sitting through endless caucus evenings…

… The new pizza, made with Froot Loops and cheese, is one of the new breakfast pizzas Fong’s is rolling out at their Fong’s location at 3018 Forest Ave., Des Moines. (As we all know, Iowans have a thing about breakfast pizza.) Alongside cereal pizza, there are steak and eggs, bacon popper and vegetarian breakfast pizzas on the menu.

“Making pizzas that are outside the box has always been a staple of Fong’s,” owner Gwen Page said…

Out of the box and straight into the trash, if you’ve got functional taste buds. I’m no food snob, but ‘breakfast pizza’ means last night’s leftovers — straight from the frig, if it’s vegetarian.

As for ‘dessert pizza’: There’s dozens of respectable dough-based desserts, why play with ‘pretend’ mock-ups once you’re old enough to use a credit card? Get some chocolate-chip cookies, if your local delivery service doesn’t offer cannolis or baklava!

    From that ‘breakfast pizza’ link,

    Kum & Go is now offering something akin to the Iowa version of eternal bliss: breakfast pizza all day, every day. The Des Moines-based convenience store chain announced the news via Twitter on Thursday with a shot of a gravy-laden, egg-topped slice rotating in a store’s pizza warmer. The message accompanying the photo on the 2:59 p.m. posting: “good *afternoon* Iowa.”

    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

    I love Italian food. And I often like desserts. I’m quite fond of ricotta in savory foods.

    But for me, personally, I have never had a cannoli that I particularly liked.

    Some years ago, I was at a coal fired pizza place in Denver, and the owner remembered me from a previous visit, and I had written a nice Trip Adivsor review when his place was new. He treated me to a two-cannoli plate of dessert, and I had to sort of choke it down and smile a lot. Heh heh yum, thank you! (buuurp) – I’d just eaten a pizza for g-d’s sake, I didn’t need two tubes of sweet cheese! – But I know, he was Italian and just wanting to be kind!

Delicioso! Maybe one day can dine indoors and have it again…

    I would think you’d want something unsweetened.  My first choice would be shredded wheat.  That said, if the best answer you can come up with is Froot Loops, you should have gone with “let’s abandon this idea” instead.

    You can actually make a decent breakfast pizza.  But you gotta stick with the same ingredients as breakfast burritos or omelettes.  So eggs, shredded cheese, and stuff like chopped green onions, tomatoes, and spinach or jalapenos.  Your basic omelette ingredients but less egg and more cheese.  Crisp up the crust first so you don’t overcook the egg.  It’s basically an omelette on toast in the shape of a pizza.

    But this cereal stuff?   [shudder]

    NOTE:  Egg is actually a pretty common pizza topping in other parts of the world.  It is super common in Chile.  When we go out to eat with my in-laws, my father-in-law always orders his pizza with egg on it when we are out at pizza places in Santiago.

    Pizza itself, which I find hard to resist, is enough of a carbohydrate bomb to send my glucose levels skyrocketing.  The mere thought of adding Froot Loops has added 75 points to my current level.

    OTOH, nothing could make pizza less appealing than the addition of Froot Loops, so the odds of me ever taking a bite are in the negative.

    @Jerzy Russian:@Kent:   I remember steak with sunny side up eggs on top from a restaurant in La Serena many years ago.  Damn, I loved the food down there.

    There are certain foods from Chile that I have been unable to replicate or find up here.  Mantecoso cheese, the spicy sausages they use to make churipan, even the salami is better.

    So many evenings sitting around at my mother-in-law’s beach house eating cheese, salami, crusty bread, with red Chilean wine or pisco sours.

    When we go to big family events they sometimes make paella outdoors over a fire.  A big tripod with a giant paella pan hanging from it over an open fire that makes enough to feed about 60.

    Restaurants are one thing.  But when you have an upper class extended family with cooks and maids, then you really really eat.  One of my wife’s cousins is a senator who owns lots of vineyards.  Another is a big timber baron who owns hundreds of square miles of timber land reaching from Argentina to the central valley.  They know how to throw some big feasts.

    “Breakfast pizza” is taking last night’s pizza, scraping everything off the crust into a hot pan, then adding a few eggs as soon as it starts to melt and bubble. Fold it a few times, then plate it.

    This, along with a big glass of water, is an excellent hangover cure, too.

    Get some chocolate-chip cookies, if your local delivery service doesn’t offer cannolis or baklava!

    I misread that to be “cannabis or baklava” and wondered what kind of delivery service we were talking about

    @dmsilev: agreed! Oh my god. I wish I had waited to read this. I nearly spit my coffee. My daughter will laugh herself sick, she complained for ages about the pizza when she went to school in Syracuse but she’s spoiled. She grew up two towns over from Frank Pepe’s, Sally’s and Modern Pizza.

    @Dorothy A. Winsor: totally unrelated but there is a series on maybe Netflix about a Manhattan weed delivery guy called High Maintenance…and in college towns Insomnia Cookies delivers fresh baked cookies until 3am.

    @RaflW: May I suggest you try Termini Bros. bakery – http://www.termini.com – 1523 South 8th Street and other locations in Philadelphia

    If you do not like their cannoli, I am sorry for you.  Not being able to appreciate a transcendent human experience…

    @Dorothy A. Winsor: Come to Dearborn. There has to be at least five dispensaries within 3 miles of Shatila Bakery.

    @something fabulous:  :-(

    Something similar cost me about $100 a few weeks ago.  It’s maddening.

    @Mike J: Wrong. No one goes to Big Tomato Pizza unless they are drunk, but that crowd has it’s own entertainment and appeal.

    Fong’s is a neat thing. The people are great, you can get Good Beer, and the Thai Peanut pizza is awesome as well as the Crab Rangoon pizza. (I know, I know, this doesn’t register right in the brain, but it is fantastic. I have made converts from other state visitors.)

    Bash Iowa all you like, and mostly it will be deserved. We’re not all idiots, though many of my fellow statespersons tend to drag down the curve. I won’t even start on our Governor.

    Iowa Jackals, represent.

    Peace,

    have you considered Froot Loops on pizza?

    My mind is unable to process the horror of this statement.
