A Bacon Frittata and a Fairy Tale
57Eat This!
Good morning beloved breakfastpoppers. Today is Friday, January 27 in the year of our kingdom 2012. It seems that a day does not go by without the government sticking their intrusive arm into our lives. They have done it again and this latest intrusion concerns our children. Let's prepare a Bacon Frittata this morning and meet in the Field of Veggies that lies beside the Balsamic River.
For a frittata that serves 6 you will need 5 large, beaten eggs, 8 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon, 2 cups of sliced mushrooms, 1 cup chopped onion, 3/4 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Preheat your hearth to 450 degrees. Prepare a pie tin with cooking spray.
In a large skillet placed over medium heat, saute mushrooms and onions in 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir from time to time until onions are tender and mushrooms are lightly browned. Remove from the hearth and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, sour cream and seasonings and mix well.
Pour egg mixture into pie tin. Stir in onions and mushrooms and sprinkle with bacon. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Lower the heat to 300 degrees and bake 10 minutes more or until eggs are set. Allow to cool and then cut into wedges. Run over to our meeting place as fast as you can. The frittata is best served warm.
Welcome friends and neighbors. Queen Michelle Ma Belle has started a new project that will affect our children and how they eat in schools. Remember when the Queen introduced healthy eating into the schools? Remember when our children spit out the black bean burgers and couscous? Well here we go again.
Salad bars are coming to a school near you. I know how excited our kids are going to be when they get to stick their hands in all that arugula and sprouts. Despite all the problems our kingdom is facing on every front, the Queen has been working diligently to build a coalition between the produce industry, the schools and the castle. Money will be distributed to participating schools to install salad bars in the lunchrooms.
A disgusting mental picture comes to mind. I can just see all those kids sneezing all over the veggies, germs flying this way and that. The really fun part will come when the students, according to USDA regulations, have to have their food choices "inspected" to ensure that they served themselves the correct portions of fruits and veggies. Too many potatoes on your plate and not enough peas, well then it is off to the dungeon with you. They may start giving cashiers the responsibility of giving the kid's food choices a once over. It's like the TSA has come to the lunchroom.
Let's see. We still don't have a budget, unemployment is awful, our debt is rising every second and yet, King Teleprompter and the Queen want our children to eat their veggies and they are willing to use our money to get it done.
All this is is one more vise around our collective necks. The Castle is going to control what our children eat, what they learn and how they think. Today it's a salad bar, tomorrow it just might be state run dorms!...POP...

Good Morning Tom,
Both of us are up early this morn. Salad bars are notorious breeding grounds for disease. Just think of all those yucky hands fondling the greens! In any case, I think we have far more pressing problems confronting our kingdom. . Me thinks the Queen has way too much time on her hands. To the Inn, my dear friend!
A salad bar in public schools. Great ammo for a food fight! To the inn. INNKEEPER..........
POP: Wait a minute, don't sell the queen short. I bet she's helping her husband with the job crisis in our country. We'll need the food inspectors for portion control, extra school nurses for the spread of disease and of course the injuries from the food fights.
Everyone will be happy, especially King Teleprompter, because he will be helping the schools, and the unions.
All will be well in the kingdom!
I'm off to the Tavern. Save me a seat.....
Good morning taxlarry,
Yes, my friend, I agree. A flying artichoke is just like a hand grenade. Off to the Inn with you!
Good morning Pino,
I think the cashiers or the janitors will be doing double duty as food inspectors, but the nurses, well they are going to need more of them. To the Inn, dear Pino, where the ale runs forever and laughter abounds.
BPOP - Toothpick sales might skyrocket so lets have the federal government subsidize that industry also. The kiddies will need something to get those sprout seeds from betwixt their teeth. I'm just sayin..
I getting to be in short supply on my investmenht advice this morning! LMBO
The Frog
POP: I forgot the extra janitors and their union as well. Thanks for correcting me. See, even more jobs will be created (or saved)!
Good Morning Frog Prince,
I agree, let's give a stimulus to the toothpick industry and why not the floss industry, oh and how about the salad dressing industry and oh maybe we could give a stimulus to the companies that make those little paper umbrellas that could make the food look more attractive... I could go on and on, but instead I am headed for the Inn. Join me there Prince.
hmmmm i'm thinking of brown baggin pbj's, chips and a drink then hanging out on the street corners as the kidlets walk/ride by in order to get to school and make a killing selling my brown bagged lunches to these poor babies who wouldn't know a bean spout if it smacked them, thus, effectively nipping the salad queen's project in the bud. win-win....
Good morning Lynn,
Now that is a terrific idea. Actually serving kids foods they like and would actually eat. And you would be creating a brown bag industry that would need plenty of employees! Go for it. See thee at the Inn.
Little Sister With Giant Brain,
Sort of like painting the bathroom while the roof caves in. She's a doozy okay. Here's how out of touch she is with reality .. She did an interview on national TV a while back, and in that interview, she told the American people that she had never seen her husband of 13 or 14 years, with a cigarette in his hand. Barack Obama does or did smoke one pack of cigarettes a day. That's 20 cigarettes a day. Let me find my calculator .. Okay, that's 94,900 cigarettes that Barack has had in his hand while they've been married, and she has never seen him with a cigarette in his hand right? Look, I've been married for 16 years and I play with myself ONCE a day. My wife has caught me with something other than a cigarette in my hand several times and wasn't even trying. Hell, we hardly see each other. So my point is that these people are so out of touch that they can look us square in the eye and tell us something so incredibly stupid and think that WE are so stupid that we won't give it a second thought. Unbelievable.
Up, awesome, groovy, and delicious sis!
Jim
Parents need to protest and send kids thier own lunch with PBJ's, Potato Chips, and a twinkie!!
tellthem to take thier salads and .... I will stop there.
enough already!!!
Hey btw, you had me at bacon!
Chris
Dear Big Bro Who Keeps Busy,
Once a say!!!! Anyway, these people are unusual. Obama sat in a church where Rev. Wright spewed vile hatred against this nation and Obama never heard a thing! I guess the Obamas are deaf, dumb and blind, which has just given me an idea for a hub! See you at the Inn, Bro
Good Afternoon Chris,
I had me at bacon! Yum. As for the sprouts at the salad bar, they are sure to be a big hit. In fact, sprouts have carried all kinds of diseases, as have scallions and other vegetables. The government has way too much time on its hands and way too much of our money. See you at the Inn.
She must be trying to feed those children like we Baby Boomers were fed at school lunch in the 1960's, with a full well-balanced meal at $.35 cents a plate. We even ate "green things" then.
Prepare the compost bins for the uneaten salad greens, and let's hope those sprouts don't have salmonella!
This is one more ridiculous move on the part of this administration. Parents aren't even allowed to pack a lunch for their children in many schools. This government is going to control every aspect of our lives is we allow it. Good hub.
That's FREEDOM for you. They'll have the kids wishing they lived in China, where they would probably be allowed noodles. Great hub
PS Does the Inn stock Mead?
Good morning michabelle,
I think she's trying to keep busy by keeping her hand in our children's lives. Leave the taxpayer out of this initiative. We already have enough on our plate and the plate is empty. Enjoy the weekend.
Good morning cat,
How right you are. Her last attempt at healthy eating bombed. The food often arrived tainted and rotten and it most certainly left that way too! Have a great week-end and stay away from the salad bar!
Good morning Pamela,
It;s great to see you at the breakfast table. You are so right, there are plenty of schools that forbid parents from sending lunch in for their kids. How many of those kids go home hungry? I'm betting a lot! Enjoy the week-end.
Good morning rafken.
Yes, the Inn stocks Mead, so you will be in good hands. Our children on the other hand will not because once the government gets involved with anything things go rapidly downhill. Enjoy the week-end.
Brilliant and a vote up plus bookmark here I think.
Have a great weekend.
Eddy.
Would you believe that I heard on CNN just yesterday that pizza will be considered a vegetable in schools? Yes, that was the report! Wonder how much the government guru is earning that thought this one up?
As to your recipe...sounds really good. We need a recipe for success in the November elections!
Now I'm really getting worried, bp, because nothing the Obummys do surprises me any more. Maybe we taxpayers can save money with this latest harebrained 'salad' scheme. Just put the TSA folks to work in the schools with their TSA uniforms and TSA badges and tell the kids it stands for Tossed Salad Advisors.
Dear Eiddwen,
You always make me feel appreciated and I thank you.
Dear Peggy,
I heard about the pizza too. I also heard more and more schools have decided not to allow kids to bring lunch from home. I guess this is one way to fight obesity in children..Starve them!
Dear drbj,
You are brilliant and frankly I wish of thought of that!! TSA all the way!!!
PEAS! I know a man that used to make his wife and kids eat peas with every dinner 365 days a year, even pizza that was already filled with vegetables. The kids were anxious to go away to college to get away from the peas.
Dear Patty,
Maybe he would qualify for the salad inspection job.
Pea packer at Green Giant.
Dear Patty,
It would seem he has a great employment future.
Point 10 in Marx' plan to create a communist state:
10. Free education for all children in public schools.
Need I say more?
Dear Will,
You need not say more. Get to the children and you get to the parents. See you at the Inn.

Pop,
What a "grim" fairy tale indeed. I'm glad I'm not a kid in this day and age. All I had to worry about in my school lunch room was how many bowls of potato soup could I eat since so many of my school mates didn't like it.
Accidental sneezes on the salad bar may be the least of their worries. I wonder what some of these psychos may put on the bar on purpose...UGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
