The Fiscal Cliff Cookbook - Eat Reasonably Well During The Apocalypse - With Social Commentary Cliff Notes was a free kindle book when this post was written.
Political satire, humor, essay, and cookbook. The Fiscal Cliff Cookbook
is the world's greatest FISCAL CLIFF SOUVENIR and fusion cookbook of
political satire and recipes. LIMITED TIME ONLY, just like the fiscal
cliff itself?
Fiscal cliff this, budget deal that. We all could use a reasonably good meal and a few laughs.

Catastrophic Default Pork And Beans
(If the future does not fare well, this recipe may in time become Catastrophic Default Beans.)
Pork
and beans are a classic American dish. I picture hobos enjoying the
fresh air while opening a can of pork and beans as their legs hang off a
freight train box car.
Well that is a more pleasant thought than catastrophic anything else.
The
numbers and adjectives being spoken by the faces on television are
significant. Yet they are being repeated until we are all numb.
If
this was a hurricane en route, people in the subject area would be
implored to evacuate. But this is a moneycane, and this is home.
When
we are blank in response to the word catastrophic; when we are unmoved
by the officialized threat of the worst that all but the oldest among us
have lived; when every night we look at our beautiful flat high
definition television sets, and are told in beautiful, flat, high
definition, that financial hell is coming, and none of us will find out
how true that is until we are standing in it; when we are hammered with
very real crap like this, every day, AS WE ARE, and then go to sleep as
if it was all just a television show, then the question ought be asked,
“what time would you like to be woken up?”
Oh, yeah, here’s a recipe for Catastrophic Default Pork And Beans.
Catastrophic Default Pork And Beans
Ingredients:
1. Boneless whole pork loin roast, approximately 3 pounds.
2. Canned pork and beans, approximately 45 ounces.
3. 1 large sweet onion.

5. ½ cup brown sugar.
6. 2 garlic cloves chopped up.
How To Cook It:
1. Cut the pork roast in half and place in a slow cooker.
2. Cut the onion into medium thin slices and place over the pork roast.
3. Mix the canned pork and beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and garlic cloves in a bowl.
4. Pour the mix from the bowl over the pork roast.
5. Cover and cook for 7 hours on low.
6. Take the roast out and shred it.
7. Put the roast back in the slow cooker for 1 hour.
8. Step 8 is eating.
Please
note that although pork and beans is often enjoyed with corn bread,
this is Catastrophic Default Pork And Beans, thus the corn bread is left
out.
Fulltime RV Living – Living in an RV with Kids – Full Time RVing
Sharing this to read later. We are very seriously looking into doing this. We have been looking for rvs, wanting the "perfect " one. Has to be comfortable for us since it will be for full time living. We have looked at several used Coachman rvs. They look comfortable and roomy. Plus they have the vehicle built in so we don't need the added expense of a truck. Getting the financial stuff figured out and looking at pieces of land. Hope to have it all figured out by next spring. Wish us luck!
