“Shoemaker, stick with thy last!”

You got it chief. I’ll do that! I’ll be sure to drop the facetious language when discussing the various breakfasts, lunches, and dinners of champions in the future!!!

I never pretended to know anything about that trash. What I do know is that I’ve seen it, find it sickening looking, can’t fathom why people pay an arm and a leg for it, and prefer bread and water (or shoes for that matter) to that garbage. To each their own I guess.

He had a chef and he was French... No french fries.. we want Freedom Fries ... repeat!

[firebrand]

Good catch. We used to waste a lot of pencil lead fixing this.

A restaurant in the West 50s in NYC used to have a cheeseburger club sandwich.

In defense of *Bush recipes* I've made these and they are GREAT!

Laura Bush’s Cowboy Cookies

Chewy, monster-sized oatmeal cookies stuffed with nuts and chocolate chips, enhanced with a hint of cinnamon.



3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups butter (at room temperature)
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups sweetened flake coconut [I omit coconut b/c of a family member w/ allergy to coconut]
2 cups chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl. In 8-quart bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 minute. Gradually beat in sugars; beat to combine, 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans. For each cookie, drop 1/4 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Bake for 17 to 19 minutes, until edges are lightly browned; rotate sheets halfway through. Remove cookies from rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

NOTE: For 6 dozen (72) smaller cookies, use 2 tablespoons dough for each. Bake at 350 F for 15 to 18 minutes.

Servings: approx. 36

My wife occasionally makes “pizza burgers”. Make a regular burger, top it with mozzarella cheese, let it melt on the burger. Put it on the bun and put some tomato sauce on top.

I think it’s great.

We should have had a larger troop presence, the persecution of Christians started under Bush in Iraq. Research on the news showed it started as early as 2004.

[Clutch Martin]

Well... I can only assume that GWB doesn’t care for the hamburger bun...

[atc23]

YUCK

[atc23]

Where you from that assholes put ketchup and mustard on pizza?

[MayflowerMadam]

I used to love Dominos Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza. Don’t know if they make it any more.

[Joe Boucher]

So very tired of these perpetual political families.
The Kennedy’s, Clinton’s, Bush’s, etc should all just go away and leave us all alone.
Eat poo and die, a
L of you.

[COBOL2Java]

Most important part of any Bush recipe is, whenever someone criticizes it, do not defend it. Wouldn’t be prudent.

[Carriage Hill]

Lose the pickles.
Add onions and mushrooms.
I’d eat it.

[jch10]

Sorry, but I am no longer interested in what the Bushs have to offer.

[Dr. Sivana]

Apizza equivalent of Caherine Zeta-Jones

[reformedliberal]

Lost me at: add additional toppings and bake 3” more. Way to burn the already baked pizza crust. Also, Cheddar is way too greasy for pizza, IMO.

Why not just make a pizza with one set of ingredients, even the cheeseburger items, and forget the Cheddar? And maybe put the pickles/mustard on the side, like the red pepper is offered in restaurants? Also, perhaps pizza sauce AND ketchup are redundant....If you like ketchup on a pizza, use it for the sauce or add some to regular sauce.

Like “Cheeseburger Tacos”, more appropriately named “Cheeseburger Boats”, this is a bastardization I will avoid.
Might as well make cheeseburgers OR pizza. We like both, just not mixed together.

Ah ha!

Finally found those WMDs.

Of course a real Philly Cheese Steak is made with Cheese Whiz!

With all due respect my FRiend...NEVER

The CheezWhiz abomination is a creation of Pat's. Up until the early 70's the ONLY way you would have a cheese steak made in every neighborhood was either with "American" or Provolone. Of course, Provolone was the way to go!

CheezWhiz started appearing at neighborhood steak shops when they started selling CheezFries...the concept dripped over to the grill and was likely bolstered when MNF started showing Pat's slapping Whiz on their steaks.

If you ever get to a neighborhood steak shop in Philly (meaning not Pat's nor Geno's...although Geno's is slightly better...) order a Pizza Steak or at least order a Cheese Steak with Provolone.

End the CheezWhiz madness! OK, rant over...
