Bush cookbook ....GOOD PEOPLE AND GOOD FOOD , December 18, 2005
Reviewer: C Schoenjohn (South Florida) - See all my reviews
P. Hansen from the "west coast" is obviously a bit "left" biased..and probably loves vegetarian quiche and has a Jerry Brown bumper sticker on his car.....people like him remind me exactly why I moved my business from CA to Florida 5 yrs ago ...This is a solid book with excellent recipes ..wouldn't exactly call it health food ...but no true good food is ;)...

Makes me nostalgic for the wonderful 1950s., December 17, 2005
Reviewer: P. Hansen "From The West Coast" (California) - See all my reviews

I felt bad when I saw this on the remainder stack at Borders. I bought it cause I know the Bush family needs all the support they can get these days. And money for their lawyers soon too. But when I gained 40 pounds in a week eating their food I wondered if maybe Castro wouldn't be calling me fat soon so I had to toss the book. I tried to be a good American but fat is fat you know?

just really good food, November 26, 2005
Reviewer: Patricia Fisher "Professor of Literature" (Cambridge, Ma.. USA) - See all my reviews
The writing was well done, easy to follow, and the recipes I tried were delicious. I did adapt some so they were less fattening, but it didn't detract from the quality. This book will definitly be given as Christmas gifts to the food fanciers of my family and friends.

Good food for good people!, November 3, 2005
Reviewer: Jennie Taliaferro "avid reader" (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I can't wait to prepare for myself these terrific dishes that have kept the Bush family happy and healthy and ready to meet any challenge. <...>
The Bushes are known for their good taste and their close, loving family that enjoys being together and great food is obviously an integral part of that so these recipes are bound to be fantastic.
(Even the grifter Clinton couldn't resist being a recipient of their hospitality at Kennebunkport and you know how he loves to eat!)

[FatDave]

53. I don't know about the food...

...but those Amazon reviews are enough to make me fucking sick.

[Radio_Lady]

56. Yeah, I feel the same way. This country is still very divided and I

don't think things will change much anytime soon.

[Catshrink]

2. Did you hide it?

That's the only thing to do with that crap. I didn't think Babs cooked anyway.

[DesertRat]

5. I should have

But there were a lot of them and I was so repulsed I hightailed it outta there.

[PA Democrat]

48. Yeah, I recall Bush making a really snarky remark about his mom

serving nothing but prepared frozen foods.

[WildEyedLiberal]

3. It's already 50% off at Barnes and Noble

No one wanted to buy it, I wonder why.

[tuvor]

4. I presume there's a whole chapter on Kool-Aid.

[EFerrari]

[drbtg1]

24. with a Soylent Green desert

:)

[ticapnews]

49. Submitted for your approval:

"The recollections of one George W. Bush, with appropriate flashbacks and soliloquy. Or more simply stated, the evolution of man, the cycle of going from dust to dessert, the metamorphosis from being the ruler of a planet to an ingredient in someone's soup. It's tonight's bill of fare on The Twilight Zone."

[NYC]

59. Hilarious.

Thanks for the laugh.

I'm waiting for cooked goose and impeach cobbler. The perfect menu.

[CoffeeCat]

11. Bush family recipe for disaster!

Recipe for George Bush's America...

Mix these ingredients:
1 Cup of bullshit
A truckload of arrogance
1 Pint of Stupidity

Stir until Fascism exists.

Serve with "You're doing a heck of a job Brownies" (recipe on page 3)

[sam sarrha]

13. roasted Iraqi baby ..with White Phosphorus Sauce

[Gregorian]

15. What to serve if you're TOAST.

With a chapter from Martha Stewart on how to make prison meals fit for a king.

[Cleita]

16. I saw that at Border's the last time I was there

doing my Christmas shopping. What do people who have servants and chefs know about cooking? I guess just another lie to add to the list.

[Jade Fox]

19. Roast Chickenhawk with pretzel stuffing?

Looks like the book was actually written by a Latina person--probably the family cook.

[DesertRat]

27. Written by Ariel De Guzman

"Today, after more than twenty years of cooking for the former President and First Lady and managing their household, Ariel is virtually a member of the family. Preparing and organizing meals that range from casual pool parties to birthday dinners to formal state affairs, De Guzman has been present every time the Bushes have gathered round the table -- at the Vice President's House, the White House, the Houston residence, and Walker's Point in Kennebunkport. In The Bush Family Cookbook, he brings the stories and flavors of those moments to readers."

[DesertRat]

29. Baked Peaches Flambe

"Seafood lovers will dip into Walker's Point Lobster Salad and steaming hot Seafood Casserole. For the sweet tooth, there's Buttermilk Layer Cake (the foundation of George P. Bush's groom's cake) and Baked Peaches Flambe, an old family recipe prepared as a special treat when George W. and brother Jeb came home with good grades."
:rofl:

[Jade Fox]

34. A good grade being a "C" in that household! n/t

[DesertRat]

37. Exactly!

And what kid wants "Baked Peaches Flambe" as a treat anyway? :eyes:

[Jade Fox]

33. "Ariel is virtually a member of the family"....

Ooh, ick. I can't believe anyone would whip out that delusional-rich-people cliche'.

If she's a member of the family, do you share the family wealth with her? I didn't think so.

[DesertRat]

35. Ariel's a He

What the *$! does "virtually" a member of the family even mean?

[Jade Fox]

38. That means....

the rich believe they are more important to their servants than they are, as the rich are unable to imagine the help as having lives of their own and considering their servant job just that--a job.

It's also a way the rich deal with the guilt of having paid slaves--"oh, but he's virtually a member of the family!"

I've known more rich people than I care to remember.

[ET Awful]

40. It means they love him like they'd like to be loved themselves

:evilgrin:

[robbedvoter]

60. Is Ariel also related to ...Bandar Bush? or that's a different "family"

(as in BFEE)

[Straight Shooter]

20. I guess the recipe for Humble Pie will be in the next cookbook.

"Favorites from the Leavenworth Kitchen"

[Cleita]

23. Is that the one stuffed with crow? n/t

[begin_within]

21. Has the recipe for yellow cake been verified?

[DesertRat]

28. LOL

:rofl:

[fortyfeetunder]

25. How about Freedom Toast?

Or are they just waffling?

[yorkiemommie1]

26. have you seen the bush and condi greeting cards at Target?

they are hysterical!

[DesertRat]

30. For Real?

No, I haven't seen them.

[kenny blankenship]

31. Have you seen the new snotrags they have at Target?

they look exactly like that book!
In fact they leave piles of them out for you to blow your nose in, if you need to.

[Dr Fate]

36. I heard Laura did not like Rice. n/t

n/t

[Lorien]

39. Er, yeah. So what five star personal chef came up with the recipes?

:eyes:

[NMMNG]

41. Ewwww, now I have to stop shopping at Target too?

:puke:

[MercutioATC]

42. Are they made with real Bush family members?

???

[DesertRat]

43. I wonder if Noelle Bush contributed to the book

:evilgrin:

[MercutioATC]

45. The younger Barbara is a little scrawny, but prepared right....

...she might be palatable.

[DiverDave]

51. Yes, her contribution is

"how to bake crack"...

[Gormy Cuss]

46. Biographical blurb

"In 1980, Ariel De Guzman was an experienced Navy mess management specialist preparing meals for thousands of aircraft-carrier crewmembers when he received the chance of a lifetime -- he was selected as a candidate for duty in the White House Mess"

Mess is right. I wonder if the cookbook has a good S O S recipe?

[DesertRat]

47. White House Mess

How appropriate!

[thebigidea]

52. or, "Meals some Wageslave Makes for the Silver Douchebags"

what a laugh, "Bush Family Cookbook." like they are old recipes handed down from Barb to Blowhard, from Wimp to Pimp...

[porphyrian]

54. Eew! Who would eat those dirty fuckers? - n/t

[Deja Q]

55. You mean the * Bush? Not the Bush Beans guy with his pet pooch?

:wow:

Scary.

[Kurovski]

57. I'd love to cook Georgy's goose. Got a recipe in there for that?
