Today's Breakfast

Hey I'm Not So Bad

2011-03-27T09:19:00.001-05:00

So...looking back on these, I've come to the conclusion that I am not so bad after all. I actually inspire myself. I might even have the urge to start this again in commemeration of the one year anniversary. Yeah, I think I WILL.

I can't believe you're still waiting

2010-09-28T09:55:00.002-05:00

I really can't. Somebody misses me! I pretty much thought no one was even looking at my blog cos I get no hits at all. Sadness.

I am still sick ya'll. I spent all day long in bed yesterday which is something that pisses me off. I hate to lose a day like that.

But as I lay there cursing bacteria, I actually started having ideas and notions and such about some things I might like to cook. So, take heart and I will too.

Note

2010-09-19T07:29:00.002-05:00

It's been almost two weeks since I made a breakfast. In case you're one of the few people who actually read this blog, I'd like to tell you why. Every day a massive amount of information comes to light about this oil spill. For me, and for a ton of others here, it is simply overwhelming. I just need a break right now. Also, I've had a unrelenting cough for almost a month now. It's been worse this past week. The sinus issues have really been rough. Put it all together and I don't have the energy to get up early enough to cook breakfast like that.

But take heart, I'm sure one day soon I will get pissed off enough to get back to work~

Adaptation

Ingredients: Pie crust, Cherry Filling, Powdered Sugar,	food coloring

Today's Breakfast: Local saltwater pools are taken over by mutant shrimp and the 1% of remaining oysters. Don't worry, they don't bite.

For those of you who don't know, recent sampling of the oysters show that 99% of them are dead. Wonder what could have killed them? Oh yeah, the hot summer.

Shrimp? I live here and I won't buy them because I'm not about to eat them until ACCURATE tests are done. And don't give me any crap about foreign shrimp not being tested because down here we don't eat stupid Chinese shrimp. We eat Gulf Shrimp. Until now.

Go Back To Hell Where You Belong

2010-09-06T10:35:00.000-05:00

Ingredients: Cheese Toast, Banana, Bacon, Eggs, Raisins

Today's Breakfast: "During Bush deregulation years, you had the MMS that told companies like B.P., that we have a new policy, the closed door Dick Cheney policy. that allowed these industries to bypass safety features like the acoustic switch. There was no need to spend $500,000 to put in the switch which would have prevented the oil spill." Mike Papatino, Environmental Lawyer.

Dick Cheney changed the energy policy. In other countries B.P. is not allowed to drill without this safety feature but DICK let them.

Dick Cheney, go back to hell where you belong with the other demons dancing in the flames.

Today's Breakfast: If you need a job, B.P. is now hiring clowns to entertain the public, make speeches, get exposed to deadly toxins with no protective gear, and make tourism commercials. There is no immediate pay. You'll have to wait till they feel like paying you, if they pay you. And they won't pay you anything at all if the U.S. government doesn't let them keep drilling any which way they want. Yeah, they're going to take their money they owe you and go back to England if they don't get their way.

Five Years

Today's Breakfast: Today I want to remember the good things that happened after the storm. Remember all the sunflowers that grew out of debris, the joy we all felt at being alive, the constant acts of kindness and love.

Bitching Elvis Gets All the Love

2010-08-28T10:48:00.000-05:00


Ingredients: Toast, Grits, Bacon, Blackberry, Strawberry, Donut

Today's Breakfast: God has a strange sense of humor. After Katrina, there were several "cities" made of tents where some of the homeless could live. One day, I searched for the tent city in Pass Christian to deliver supplies sent to me from some awesome ladies in Illinois. I stopped at a supply tent to ask for directions. Only in Mississippi, after a major disaster, would you find what I did that muggy day, Elvis bitching about FEMA. Elvis, with unkempt sideburns, passing out water and degrading FEMA with every cuss word known to man. As surreal as the whole Katrina experience was, this one took the cake. So here's to you, Bitching Elvis.

2010-08-26T08:46:00.000-05:00

Today's Breakfast: Here's to you Muffin Man. When you saw that the government still hadn't responded to us in Mississippi with any relief at all, you jumped in your RV, drove it to the grocery store, filled it up with muffins, coffee, juice, water and other goodies, then drove hours and hours from Florida to the parking lot of what had been the grocery store in Long Beach, MS.

After standing on the blistering pavement for the seond day in a row, I saw you. Your table was like something out of a fairytale. I thought you would snatch me and cook me in an oven, but no, you gave me muffins and coffee. You told me you were staying until you ran out of food. God bless you that is exactly what you did.

I will never forget you muffin man and all of the beautiful people just like him who immediately took action to help us.

Note: My pet peeve of the day, every year I should say, is that we were already dead and dying here on the Mississippi Coast when the levees broke AFTER the storm.
Where were you U.S. Government? Why didn't you come?

Five Years of Screams

2010-08-25T08:56:00.000-05:00

Ingredients: Orange, Apple

Today's Breakfast: I'm afraid right now. What could cause terror this early in the morning? The fact that I don't have any lifejackets or an axe in my attic. Five years later, I am freaking out about what is now obvious to most residents of coastal Mississippi. I look at life jackets online, in the store, pricing out which ones are the cheapest yet most reliable. What size should I get for my children? Where should I keep the axe? In the shed, to be moved into the attic when a storm approaches or just go ahead and put it in the attic?
Some things never fade, never, like the screams of people trapped with their children in their attic. People who scream for help and no one comes. Little old ladies who tried to climb up to the attic, then tried to swim up there but they were too weak to make it. Neighborhoods where everyone knew each other for decades ended in horrendous screams.

So this is for you, the son who stayed with his wheelchair bound father and they both drowned, the mother on the rooftop with her two children and four nephews and nieces who fell and died in the water in front of them, the twenty year old who broke his hand clawing through the roof, and all the others. How could we ever forget you?

Then There Were No Flowers

2010-08-24T08:39:00.000-05:00

So, I'm not Thai or anything vaguely Asian so be gentle with my fruit carving as I have only just started, like this morning. Since this is the week of the five year anniversary of Katrina, I'm going to go a little off on my normal theme.

After the storm, the world here was basically one grimy gray-brown color. All the flowers were killed. One of the things I missed in those first weeks, besides food, water, air conditioning, phone service, and air that didn't reek of death, was all the color. However, mobs of dragonflies descended, flickering everywhere across the debris. If you've ever seen that movie "Dragonfly" you will understand how interesting this was to me.

Today's breakfast is in rememberance of the flowers I missed and the dragonflies who came to comfort me.

Today's Breakfast: Owner of Pensacola's Bullfeather's Bar and Grill, Will Eberlin, got TWO rubber checks from B.P. part of his $240,000 loss to business. Instead of offering yet another bogus check that he has to pay the bank fee on, B.P. takes a new tactic of offering him the chance to pose naked on the cover of Rolling Stone with Count Chocola.

Sorry B.P. Why don't you try actually paying people what you owe them? In Mississippi,only 363 of the 1,062 claims pending from rental property owners, have been paid Only 53 of 213 claims from restaurant owners had been paid. Of 695 boat claims, only 30 payments have been made.

“BP is claiming they haven’t yet denied a claim, when the truth is they’ve only closed a couple of dozen cases,” Attorney Jim Hood said. “They’re skewing the statistics in their favor.
