Trading Oil for Democracy – Garlic Cheese Baked Chicken

Mechanism of determining and implementing priorities is rather a curious phenomenon of human mind. Honestly, how do you, personally you, decide what provides you with the higher satisfaction and marginal value of the dollar – cheap gasoline or democracy in some country from the middle of nowhere? I mean, it’s so nice (cool, right, glamorous, trendy – choose for yourself) to say that “it’s our duty to care for every human on the planet and to change this world for better”. But when it comes down to everyday choices – please, answer two simple questions. First – who was searching the Amazon and eBay for the cheapest deal possible on that last model of BlackBerry. Second – when government says “Starting from tomorrow on gasoline will cost $2/gallon!” do you, instead of saying “Damn, that’s why I voted for this president”, seriously ask at which cost do those prices come?

Country Style Garlic Baked Potatoes


This video can arouse different emotions. You may perceive the whole idea as just something funny to look at, or as a nice guide to morning exercises, or as a bunch of weird guys doing some crazy stuff together. However, what it is is a nice video to teach North American kids patriotism. French Potatoes Lyonnaise and Potato Pancakes, English Chips, Bombay Potato Curry, German-style Potato Salad, Irish Potato Candy, Dutch Stewed Potatoes. Who didn’t fancy those? So delicious, so genuine. And while all the Europe keeps spreading self-promotion about its unique national cuisine, I’ll say “Who? I ask you, who taught you to eat potatoes?”. They even stole fries and called them French fries, while US is left with “Oh, come on, there is no such thing as American cuisine”! I could have forgiven them those fries if McDonald’s or KFC were not American, but with all that Quick, and Flunch, and Wienerwald, and Spizzico, and Big Bite Submarines and YO! Sushi I cannot.
