From our Food Goddess, TaMara:
Have been under the weather with a pesky cold all week. Too much travel, not enough rest and exercise. Lots of homemade soups, though, so there is an upside. Tonight is about recipes that have a bit more flair to them, but are still simple to prepare. If you’re not a fan of fish, you can easily substitute boneless chicken breasts: pound them flat and increase cooking time. Find a really nice whole grain bread and maybe some honey butter for the spread to compliment the fish, with broccoli and shortbread rounding out the meal.

On the board tonight:

__
1. Crispy Pecan Fish
__
2. Hearty Bread

3. Broccoli w/Garlic Wine Sauce
__
4. Shortbread

Is it possible to post something off topic even on an open thread?
Oh well. I noticed on my news machine that Charlie Sheen made CBS cancel Two and a Half Men because he was spouting off- on the Alex Jones radio show of all places.
Nobody can hit bottom like Charlie Sheen- WOLVERINES!!!!!

Sheepishly, he asks on the open thread, is there any reason to stand in the way of defunding HAMP? And why wasn’t HAMP defunding part of that 61 billion cut? Just asking. Not that the Republicans are planning to replace it with something more effective at helping troubled borrowers…

Words I never thought I would type … “Spencer Bachus is right”. HAMP is nothing short of a disaster.

Brought to you by GOP TV: If white america told the truth for one day it’s world would fall apart
This blog’s realization that many D Senators are not on the side of the working man is respectable. Euro lefties have been point this out.. for a while (see link above). Nevertheless I feel my spine stiffening… Do you think America has the appetite for a general strike? How about a White Riot? I know the whole house of cards only fell down a couple of years ago and Obama has mitigated some of it, but the pain is still coming, what’s going to happen?

I’m taking my moocher ass to the Lyric Opera in Chicago tomorrow to see Lohengrin with a college student ticket for $20 and taking my horrible, wasteful student grant money and buying a dinner consisting of:
Mixed Mushroom Charlotte with Currant Glaze
Roasted Duck Ravioli on diced butternut squash
Salmon, Whitefish and Spinach Roulade with shrimp sauce on a duchess potato ring
and Chocolate Pot de Crème topped with chocolate whipped cream
I’ll live on peanut butter for another couple weeks as penance if no one tells Glenn Beck.
