The Threat To America That Is Barack Hussein Obama

My grandmother always used her whole stewed tomatoes (the home-canned ones) when she made spaghetti sauce--fantastic stuff.

On another thread I gave a basic recipe for marinara for a Grilled Shrimp Pomodoro (which is now what you find the better Italian restaurants, but I was introduced to at The Daily Grill in Fascist Island). I use S & W Italian canned tomatoes (from Costco), put them in the blender to chop them a little finer, heat it in a pan with olive oil and fresh garlic, the add shredded fresh basil and the end. I just toss that with Angle Hair Pasta and top it with grilled shrimp, but any kind of meat or vegetable (primavera) like all the colors of bell peppers, fire roasted, skinned and sauteed in olive oil -- or grilled eggplant!

I wonder what Italian restaurant the Obamas go out to in Washington DC -- I know they were out for fine dining last week. If they don't care for Italian, then he can't be labeled with the Italian fascist sticker.

(Gee, I remembered the "c" in fascist).

Gee LW--I thought you were a bloke. Sorry.

Gee Spendi -- and I thought you were a hermaphrodite who could only do barbecue.

HOW DARE YOU !! You insulted barbecue!!

ROPE, get my rope!!

It's bad barbecue.

Oh, and having read back (and seen that I yelled about tomato paste before on this thread), I'll be interested in dtom's take on how to use it without ruining something..

Yes, I know, this is a thread about Obama..

but, hey, the guy likes italian food..

Then he is an Spaghetti Fascist.

I think they did go to an ital gourmet type restaurant in DC, forget the name..

Set, I've never gotten into canning. (Woman infests neighborhood with botulism from her canned tomatoes..) To have home stewed and canned garden grown tomatoes sounds like, ah, paradiso.

Is that like a Flying Spaghetti Monster?

I think I'm wrong on the recent visit to an italian restaurant, remembered it was Michel Richard's place, with a name like Citron. That's ok, I like him too.

Exactly the same thing -- neither exists and some Wingnut case who belongs in Bellevue will not make it any different in their ravings .

hmm, think next time we grill, I'll try some dijon; seems sort of interesting. The things they get het up about.

You're going to grill dijon mustard?

, no; just try using the mustard instead of mayonnaise or ketchup as a condiment to grilled burgers. Never thought of it before, but then again, I am not too creative in cooking.

Mustard w/o ketchup or mayo is known as a "Texas burger".

Maybe Obama's trying to tell us something after all.

I always stuff my burgers with blue cheese, so nix on the mayo as that adds too much fat and interferes with the taste of the blue cheese. Of course, no ketchup (really interference with the bc) but Dijon or spicy mustard is good. Only time I ever use anything close to mayo with blue cheese is on a Cobb Salad because I like Caesar as the salad dressing (it's basis is actually a making a mayonnaise but with garlic and Parmesan cheese).

I guess I like Sad Texas Burgers!

Maybe in Texas it is. The rest of us tend to humor Texas as a family will a large but dull-witted boy given to violent and pointless outbursts.

One of those violent and pointless, dull-witted boys made it into the White House from the Lone Star State.
