Yum

A simple meal: scrambled eggs with Organic Valley cage free hen eggs and french toast with Rudi's organic bakery white bread. pinch of cinnamon, Organic Valley 1 % milk, beaten into an egg. Dip the bread into this mixture and fry in butter. Not sure about the caloric count, but I like it. I also add a little vanilla to the egg mixture. Simple pleasure.

Timeless Tuesday

My goodness (pardon the cliche), I've been neglectful of my blog. I was reading a recent article in the Daily Oklahoman that stirred my sensibilities about conservative approaches to "stiffing" the Oklahoma taxpayers and making them pay for pricy junkets. What a waste of taxpayer money. I loathe Mary Fallin, such a hypocrite, a hypocrite of the highest order. "It's necessary," she whined in the article, for Oklahoma's "economy" to grow. Puhleeze. No matter, taxpayers should never have to foot the bill for this type of frivolous actions on the part of state government officials. If private industry CEOs and other business people want to bring their companies to Oklahoma, let them pay for the government representatives to fly to Paris France and stay in $400.00 a night hotels to attend international aerospace industry conferences. Outrageous that state taxpayers have to pay for this without their knowledge. I would have voted NO. Budgets are being slashed to programs involving education, health, and other public social programs, yet money is being spent on sending wealthier people to Paris France under the "guise" that this type of events are helping Oklahoma. Taxpayers also paid for food for these people. I'm surprised that there are not more people rising up against this type of activity. This is public money, and how is this even reasonably justifiable or defendable on government officials' parts. Officially known as "screw the taxpayer" by Mary Fallin's "entourage."
