Shafer Hillside Select is a very good and well known Cabernet from Napa. It did not cost the White House anything even close to $500. 2003 was an excellent year and the stuff has become a collectors item. If they bought it when it was released in 2004 or 2005, they probably paid about $100 a bottle.

What's wrong with a Big Mac combo meal? At this point, that would be a family night out for most of us.

When I was growing up, “Dinner and a Show” meant McDonald’s and Hawaii Five-O.

[ApplegateRanch]

Let them eat matzo!

Or, corn pone drizzled with bacon grease.

Maybe white rice, mixed with tomato sauce.

Fresh mustard greens on the side.

Wash it down with nice hot mug of chicory.

‘twould help keep’m centered.

Give it a break... CNN! FGS!

We are hosting world leaders... they should send out for Subway?

This is but more of the Obmaapropaganda machine slamming the Bush Admin....
Wake up and look at what the media is spoon feeding you.

I ate a fine breakfast, lunch and dinner today... those posters quoting Marie Antoinette are trolls.

Get real... they are setting the stage and you are taking the bait.

[ApplegateRanch]

Would you have us act like some third world country?

Putting on the dog, while the peasants starve is so, so Third World. Catsup soup, and Mulligan stew is more than good enough for the pretentios, worthless bastards.

Cake to Ms. Antoinette was actually the burned part of the bread scraped off the bottom. Not nearly as nice as it sounds.

Limousine liberals do this all the time, every single day. They live the ultimate rich life and they discuss how they are going to take care of the poor, keep them poor, giving them handout, give them food in exchange of votes, and all while they are dinning in the most expensive restaurants and drinking the most expensive wine.

[jveritas]

Exactly. In fact the liberal media will be so happy to describe all the extra luxury dinners and parties that the Obamas will throw in the White House and they will make it sound like another Camelot.

The worst trait of Liberals is Hypocrisy.

[ApplegateRanch]

Only if the bags are recycled. Waste not, want not.

Nobody on this board had any trouble taking the UN “leaders” to task for their extravagant meals a while back at the conference on “the world food crisis”, so what is different about this, other than W’s hosting of it?

[ApplegateRanch]

Common people wake up and get with it!

And therein lies the problem: F'n ELITISTS.

We pay, they play; and we're not supposed to resent it?

BS.

YOU GET WITH IT!

[Vicki]

Just a taste of what is in our future. No pun intended. If Obama has his way with his socialist agenda there will be more class separation.

That is what the 'rats want. The masses dependent on government. Relying on meager hand-outs, while they live like royalty.

[ajay_kumar]

So, you are just as upset at president Reagan right?
He had similar if not more sumptuous dinner parties at the
white house.

[She hits a grand slam tonight]

personaly Bush should have cancelled the meeting to save cash because we all knew the other 19 is waiting to deal with Obama

BUT on the flip side what were we to give the 19 leaders of the world a double cheese burger, fries, & a coke

Succulent first Choice Porterhouse on sale for $4.98 a pound grilled over wood charcoal, homemade potato salad with dill pickles, grilled summer squash and red peppers with olive oil and thyme, red wine and gourmet coffee with fresh baked homemade peanut butter cookies. Thank you LORD!!!

[ApplegateRanch]

No; that was for you.

We are not “commoners”; we are the bill paying CITIZENS.

It was that snobbish attitude, which sounds very much like a sucker at the public trough statement...about mid-level public tit sucker... who would like nothing more than to move up to the next rung of ‘servicing’ the public.

[Squantos]

Wow that sounds great !

One of my favorite dinners is to add old bay spice to a little olive oil, then stir in a couple pounds of shrimp. Cover and place in fridge over night. Make a cold pasta salad with ranch dressing. Next day skewer the shrimp, grill em and eat the hot spicy shrimp with the cold pasta salad !

Great stuff , simple to fix and chased with a cold beer or Sun Tea !

I am out of here for the nite !

Ya’ll Stay Safe and Keep the Faith !
