U.S. President Barack Obama jokingly stated there is
"crack" in the pies at the White House, blaming the pastry chef,
Bill Yosses, for
his excellent banking skills, which undoubtedly will cause his Republican
rivals to state, "Aha! We knew it" taking a dig at his political
policies. President Obama just had a Vice President Joe Biden moment
with that episode.

Have Fun This Mother’s Day (A Funny Story)
Happy mother’s day to all the moms reading the site. Parents are great. Mom’s are something else, as they give birth to us. Me personally, my mom was in labor 36-hours and I was born a day late, with dark red hair.
I asked my mom what she wanted for mother’s day and she was unsure. So I said, "I’ll give you my debit card (bank card) and you buy what you want." She said okay, took the card and asked for the code, which I gave her. Then I jokingly told her, just call me when you get to the cash register and they ring up the stuff you picked…so I can call the police. I was just teasing, as I wouldn't do that to her. I love you mom. Happy Mother’s Day.
Because I wormed out of cooking Christmas dinner months ago (hey, I made the salad, that counts doesn't it) and thought I had gotten away with it (turns out I didn't) my family’s making me make the Mother’s Day dinner. I jokingly told them they’re gonna starve. I can cook well, on a restaurant level, but on holidays I get tired because of the amount of stuff I do on weekdays.

Kim Kardashian Offends Indians By Stating Their Food Such As Curry Is Disgusting
She Doesn't Know What She Is Missing
The Kardashians
Xenophobic Kim Kardashian has apologized to Indians for stating she
does not like curry. Kim and her sister Kendall publicly referred to
Indian food as "so disgusting." Many took offense and slammed the
Kardashians online. Indian food is quite good and their statements were
mean. You need to open up your minds.
Recently, my aunt in England introduced me to an Indian dish that was
new to me. She bought "samosas" which is seasoned ground meat and veg in
pastry and they were a delicious meal with a nice side salad. I
initially thought my aunt had said "mimosas" and automatically thought,
"no, I don't like to drink" (though, I think I must be a secret Jew,
because the only wine that didn't test my gag reflexes was Manischewitz,
because it's sweet, but still, the most I can do is taste a sip of any
alcohol before I start feeling unwell/nauseous, so I try to avoid
everything).
But back to the curry. I've always loved curry, as it is one of
Jamaica's national dishes (curry chicken or alternatively curry mutton).
A funny, yet sad story about that. When I was about 5, my mom bought a
goat that unsuspecting me thought was a pet. We lived in a suburban
area, but we had a huge backyard, which gave me the chance to pet the
cute animal.

For days I played with the goat, not realizing what was really going
on. No one bothered to tell me the goat was actually for my birthday
dinner and our neighbor, who knew about being a butcher and working with
meat in that realm, killed the goat. I woke up one day to see the goat
dead. I was horrified.
As a result, for many years I would not eat goat/mutton (but it has
nothing to do with curry, which is very good for you). Really, it's just
in the last few years that I've had curry mutton a few times, but I've
always liked curry chicken. I never let my mom forget that incident and
anytime anyone offers us goat/mutton for dinner, I tell that story and
she, being the kind, height challenged person she is, laughs at me.
On a lighter note, here's another story about Caribbeans and meat.
One of my Jamaican friends, who loves pork, was telling me about her Cuban co-workers
that invited her to dinner. He was making roast pork and bought a whole
pig. She said he turned roasting into a science. She said he had the
barbeque area cordoned off like a crime scene with plastic tape that no one was
to enter but him, while he intently roasted the pork.
She said if anyone in his family tried to come up to him and ask a
question while he was working on the barbeque, breaking his
concentration, he would state in a
slightly annoyed manner, "Yessss, may I help you!" (LOL). She said it was the
best pork she'd ever tasted in her life, summing it up as, "Cubans don't
joke when it comes to the pork!"

Japanese Scientists Create Edible Doo Doo Steaks
When I think science, I have inspiring thoughts of diseases being cured. Not people making burgers out of poo. However, Japanese scientists have done just that. They've synthesized excrement, making steak out of doo doo. I'm at a loss for words. A "turd burger." Really, now. I've heard of pooh sticks, not poo steaks.
I'm all for recycling, but not like this. I think I'll pass on this one. I would also hate to be on the marketing team trying to come up with the ad plans for it. And to think people are complaining about Ronald McDonald, when this was looming.
Most people have had a few meals in their lifetime and left the table figuratively thinking it tasted like doo-doo. But for the first time, they would not be exaggerating. I don't know how anyone could swallow such a thing, when in the back of their mind, they knew where it came from (the back of their butt). What's for dessert? toilet paper?
Side Bar: On a somewhat related note, did you know it was discovered, Al Qaeda members found out if you eat your poop, you'll die (yes, geniuses, I know). To avoid torture, this became an option for them when Dick Cheney was Vice President and George W. Bush was in charge.

Someone Threw Bacon At Mosque
Cuisine Crime?
Someone threw some juicy, delicious bacon, uh, I mean, bad bacon at a mosque in Florence, South Carolina, in what will undoubtedly be billed a hate crime. It sounds more like a cuisine crime. Seriously, defacing a house of worship is not going to resolve anyone's differences, so stop wasting perfectly good bacon. STORY SOURCE
