Saudi Ambassador Visits Bush Ranch (And poor choice of words on Ari's part)

The Washington Post ^ | 27 August 2002 | Dana Milbank

As a result, expect more of what Fleischer presented yesterday. "The president enjoys the prince," he said. "Prince Bandar is a very seasoned diplomat. He is the dean of ambassadors in Washington, D.C. He is ambassador to a very important country, a country that the United States has worked closely with both in bringing peace to the Middle East and in the war on terror. The president enjoys his time with Prince Bandar. He's a very affable fellow, very good humor, speaks English better than most Americans. The president looks forward to visiting with him tomorrow."

Really, Ari? Is that what you think? Why don't you try to visit Saudi Arabia as a private citizen and a Jew and let's see how hospitable the House of Saud (buggery) is to you.

Ari takes his paycheck every month, contributed by idiots like me that do not speak good English and no formal education. Glad to see that he does not look down his snooty nose at us, I might think he has disdain for many Americans.

Don't get me started, oh, OK, what an arrogant, pasty, little snot that Ari is.

I wonder if Bush has his Chef heating up some fava beans?

This recipe format is the right width to cut and paste on a 4"x6" recipe card.

Egyptian Chili (Fava Bean Stew)

Recipe by : Natasha Williams

Ingredients :

Olive Oil
Small Yellow Onion, Diced
2 Medium Tomatoes, Chopped
Medium Green Pepper, or Two jalapenos
4 - 15oz. cans Fava Beans, Drained
1 Heaping tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground turmeric (for color)
2 Stalks Green Onion, Chopped
2Tbs. Chopped Parsley, Diced
2Tbs. Cilantro, diced
2 cloves fresh garlic, diced
Feta Cheese (optional)

Instructions :
In a few teaspoons of oil, brown the onions. If you are using bell peppers, chop them and add after onions have browned. If you use the hot peppers, DO NOT chop them or your stew will be too hot! Instead, remove the stems and sauté them with the onions whole. Add beans and bring to a gentle boil. Add tomatoes and spices. Cook until stew thickens. Add fresh herbs, turn off heat. Add garlic. Use a potato masher to mash the beans ( That's what Mudammes means, 'mashed'). Top with crumbled feta, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve over rice, or with pita bread.

[OldFriend]

The heat must be getting to Ari........he ought to take a vacation or a nice long leave of absence.

[weikel]

With a nice kiliante( or however you spell it)?

[DJ MacWoW]

Got this in email......HAD to post it!

The Saudi Ambassador to the UN met with President Bush and said, "I have a question about the programs my family and I see on American TV. My son watches a show called 'Star Trek'. In it there are Russians, and Blacks, and Asians, but never any Arabs. This has my son very upset. He doesn't understand why there are never any Arabs in Star Trek."

President Bush laughed and leaned toward the Saudi. He whispered back, "It's because it takes place in the future."

I wish a dummycrat had said this instead of Ari.

This would be starting to be one of the longest threads ever.....

Egyptian Chili (Fava Bean Stew)

Where's the BEEF!

That you would "post" this gastronomic abomination and dare to call it CHILI is unfathomable to me!!!

You didn’t even post the required picture of Ann Coulter!
…OOOPS…wrong thread.

You don't know my credentials do you? Check out my website; www.cheflive.com I wrote the book!

[grumpster-dumpster]

From your website: “The studio will be surrounded by a high-end farmers market " Market de Provence". The market will include a European cheese company, wine store, French bakery, chocolate and flower shop and a fruit stand offering the best of what farmers have to offer.”

Hogwash! I’m sure you’re an promising cook…but no “Culinary Master” nor even talented beginner would use the word “Chili” in conjunction with “Fava beans!”

Please spare me the “regional-differences” argument! We’re talkin CHILI here!

REAL CHILI! Not some “feel-good, politically-correct, Hands-across-the-sea, America-is-evil, Affirmative-Action” concoction that is the equivalent to a “Not with a Bang…but with a Whimper” intestinal-gastronomic suicide.
But a “REAL, GOD-BLESS-AMERICA, TEAR IN YOUR EYE WITH HAND OVER HEART, MOM-AND-APPLE PIE, SPIRIT OF ’76, REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR, THIS ONES FOR THE GIPPER” Palate pleasing, Heaven-on-Earth, Epicurean delight that sings “NUKE ’EM TIL THEY GLOW!

CHILI! WITH BEEF!

P.S. Best regards and good luck with your business!
