White Trash Cooking Contest

I proposed a cooking competition to my fellow New Obsessives and a few noteable others, and was not disappointed with the response! Celebutante chef Gordon Ramsey was slated to judge, but he texted me that he was indisposed.

"Gordo" means "fat ass" in Spanish. Anyhoo:

Sherry DiscgolfGeek, founder of The White Trash Recipe Exchange, answered a few questions about her cooking repertoire and also shared a delicious recipe:

WTP:What is your favorite junk food product?
SD:Pork Skins with Chili and Limon, I can't live with out them.

WTP:Do you prefer salty or sugary snacks?
SD:Salty

WTP:If you had to choose between a box of fruit leather or a crate of Twinkies to sustain you during a month long period of forced isolation with only one food source, what would you choose and why?
SD:Twinkies, The perfect comfort food when alone, surgery, sponge cake, whip creamy, And a awesome way to get out of a murder sentence if your Dan White, the Guy who killed San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and County Supervisor Harvey Milk!

Spinnin In Da Grave

gouache, vinyl, resin

It Came From 1977

Left in a box for 10 years, sold at a garage sale. Left in a box for 10 years, sold on Ebay. Left in a box for 10 years, posted in a blog...

So several years ago I had this brilliant idea to start a greeting card company that featured awkward photos I bought in lots on Ebay and added smart-assed and ironic captions to. Like so many of my other super-awesome ideas, I didn't do any of the work and didn't fulfill my lifelong dream to be a thousandaire from my totally cool hip company that only caters to super-geniuses and creative megaminds. So, I didn't get my artist's loft in Soho that was one big giant room, littered with massive half-finished canvases and featuring some rad ass urban view like the posterior of a incandescently lit up advertising sign for Pall Malls. Alas.

They are labeled "7-30-77 Wedding Susan Beuder Ray Olson Trinity Lutheran Church Miriner (?) - Reception Church Basement."

If only I had dreamed up Awkward Family Photos at that point, I'd have been a thousandaire at least 2 times over. I hope they made it, Susan and Ray...

 

Schocking Abs, The GOP, and White Trash: Together At Last

I went to a Republican dinner to see Illinois congressman Aaron Schock speak last night... and guess what? He was signing autographs in front of: an original White Trash Peg mural at Capponi's restaurant in Toluca, Il! When my old man told me he got me a ticket to the event, I just thought, "Hoo hah free chicken dinner!" I never dreamed I'd be rubbing elbows with a Men's Health cover model.
