The Senate Tosses Its Budget Salad: Hold the Dressing

Gee, the suspense is killing me. Will the Senate pass a Continuing Resolution with a whole $5 billion earmarked for a border wall? Allow me to end the speculation: no, they won’t. And I can’t even believe we’re talking about “shutting the government down” over a rounding error in the federal budget.

So despite being in favor of border security before they were against it, the Democrats will vote, as a block, against it and the majority Senate Republicans, as blockheads, will ensure its defeat. The world has gone mad.

 

So once we “shut down the government” – as if anyone could actually do that – we’ll take the fight to troop withdrawal. Again, remember when the democrats were for troop withdrawal in the Middle East before they were against it? They don’t.

Considering the general tenor of the world at large and the proximity to Christmas I suggest that today might be a good day to highlight Famous Recipes from Previously Famous But Now-defunct Department Stores. For my contribution I submit the dish the once grand Hudson’s was most famous for: the Maurice Salad.

It was suspiciously similar to my favorite Maurice Salad that which came from the Buhl Cafe on the corner of Griswold and Larned, just a few blocks from the Woodward Avenue spot where the mighty J.L. Hudson flagship department store once stood and where their chef allegedly created it sometime in the 1930’s.

J. L. Hudson's Maurice Salad

(serves 6-8)

2 tsp. white vinegar

1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

1 1/2 tsp. onion juice (grate onion with fine grater)

1 1/2 tsp. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. dijon mustard

1/4 tsp. dry mustard

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tbspns. chopped fresh parsley

1 hard cooked egg, finely chopped (I use 3-4, I like eggs)

salt to taste

14 oz. ham, cut into strips

14 oz cooked turkey breast

14 oz Swiss cheese

1/2 cup slivered sweet gerkins

1 head Iceberg lettuce, shredded

12-16 pimento stuffed olives

Combine the first 6 dressing ingredients and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add remaining dressing ingredients and mix well.  Combine the ham, turkey, cheese and pickles together in a large bowl.  Toss together with the dressing.  Divide lettuce among the plates, top with salad and garnish each plate with 2 olives.  Serve with fresh bread.

As I mentioned previously, garnish with tomato wedges, hard boiled egg wedges, radishes and olives and you have The Buhl Cafe version. 

While post-modernists like to deconstruct it and serve the dressing on the side like so:

I assure you a properly prepared Maurice requires it to be well tossed, by the chef, in the kitchen. Is it as pretty? Well, art is in the eye of the beholder. But to me this looks as divine as it tastes.

As an added feature it makes use of leftover Christmas ham and turkey, and is very low-carb diet friendly.

So what’s your favorite Famous Department Store dish?

They have set aside 27.7 billion for foreign aid.

The Republicans are Toast without the Wall Funding.

Did they get the message this fall? Wasn't losing the House bad enough?

[stonehouse01]

“Wasn’t losing the House bad enough?’

The republicans do not care if they lose (other than a handful of patriots). This is disturbing because it leaves “We the People” with no leverage over them.

We will have to make an end run around the globalists, and pray.

So called Republicans are actually democrats. We will have to be very careful and be sure to flush out the fakes in primaries.

Salad pic #1 looks like someone just opened a few bags from the fridge and dumped them on a plate. Could you imagine trying to toss that yourself at the restaurant table?

Salad pic #2 looks delicious....and ready to eat. Toss in some saltines, and I’m done.

Did they get the message this fall? Wasn't losing the House bad enough?

I beg to differ, they didn't lose anything. They decide on day 1 to do everything possible to NOT do the job they were elected to do. Case in point, look at Every Sham hearing/investigation Dog and Pony show they gave us with NO RESULTS. They Sold out the American people from the very beginning and decided to let their comrades have control so they wouldn't have to explain their inaction and quisling behavior anymore. THey are the Ruling Class and we peasants are the problem.

Where’s Obama when we need him, he’s an expert at tossin salad

[Amendment10]

Does anybody have an idea what percentage of the total funding provided by the bill that the $5 billion that Pres. Trump wants for the wall is?

Does the $5 billion even show up on “radar?”

[Amendment10]

Patriots, consider that Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited power duties are actually fully funded less the wall since wall is defense purposes. So unless mail delivery stops, there is no constitutionally relevant federal government shutdown.

In other words the shutdown is a Democratic and RINO politically correct 2020 campaign stunt shutdown of “federal government" services that are actually based on stolen state powers and stolen state revenues, such revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)

• "The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically competing, corrupt voter unions, union dues paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.” —me

• "The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me

• "Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me

Patriots desperately need to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment yesterday.

The 16th Amendment needs to disappear too.

Remember in November 2020!

[Sparticus]

Trump should up the ante and declare that since Chuck and Nancy shutdown the government (Trump didn’t veto anything) it’s now going to cost them $10 billion to open it back up. After next week the price will be $15 billion. Then 20, and so on.

So Another drop and bait article........so are you going to man up and respond to your posters NOBO2012??????? Or is there a physical issue that you cannot whenever you post these threads?????

[Kickass Conservative]

Clinton and Lewinski were Tossing Salad in the Oval Office. It wasn’t a problem for them.

[morphing libertarian]

THEY were not tossing salad. She was gobbling the rocket.

[Kickass Conservative]

Read the Starr Report...

I mistyped earlier, they were actually Tossing THE Salad.

[morphing libertarian]

I’ll read it if their are photos. Thanx for the culinary tip.

[Kickass Conservative]

>>>Thanx for the culinary tip<<< Here's another. #;^) Don't forget the Salad Supreme.

I use it as an extra ingredient when I make Chicken Salad.

Shred a Chicken Breast, add Mayonnaise, chopped Red Pepper, Spicy Brown or Dijon Mustard, Season Salt, Pepper, Salad Supreme, a little Horseradish and a little Pepperoncini or Pickle Juice. Add sliced Almonds if you like. The Family loves it.

Merry Christmas

[morphing libertarian]

anything but secret sauce is good with me.
