Cooking channel that specializes in 18th century delicacies comes under attack by Trump supporters for sharing "Orange Fool" recipe.

I have actually watched this guy's channel before, and thought it was mildly interesting, and certainly NOT politicized in any way.

But then I am not among those who thought that NPR tweeting the Declaration of Independence was an attack on Dear Leader.

Townsends, a popular cooking channel with almost 300,000 subscribers and hundreds of videos, specializes in 18th-century cooking and lifestyle content. It's where you might go to learn how to make parched corn or salt-glazed pottery—and it unintentionally ignited a firestorm when it released a video on July 3 about a traditional dessert known as the "orange fool.

"If you read those two words and immediately thought of our current commander-in-chief, you're not alone. The typically quaint comments section of the Townsends video was quickly inundated with mentions of "cucks" and MAGA. The reaction to the video was so acrimonious—viewers on both sides of the aisle argued, and Trump supporters threatened to unsubscribe—that Townsends decided to issue a response video two days later, titled "The Intrusion Of Modern Politics On Our YouTube Channel," to address the perceived political motivations of "orange fool."

Jon Townsend, the man behind Townsends (and host of the videos) is clearly exasperated, saying "We've entered this era where everything has to do with politics...[It's] frustrating to me that everything we do, even in a simple episode cooking episode, has to be dragged into that arena." 

"Two words and people are thinking that's the message one way or the other," Townsend told MUNCHIES over the phone. He says they have taken down the contentious comments to try and promote a more positive dialogue.

guy resembling entire LOTR cast had to clarify that "Orange Fool" was Washington's fav dessert, not 2017 commentary https://t.co/5TVlAal6Lt

I swear folks you cannot make this shit up.

Most humorous list of tailgating party recipes EVER!

So I was surfing the net and happened across this list of what ostensibly seemed to be recipes for a tailgate party.

As I read through them I started to laugh so hard that people in my house actually came to check on me, just in case I had finally snapped.

I will share the last portions with you though I really suggest that you read the whole thing for yourself.  

Tracy Is a Slut Chili 

Ingredients: Ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, cumin, tomato sauce, red pepper flakes, chili powder, chili beans 

1. Climb up on table, announce that you hate Tracy. 

2. Slip and fall on guacamole dish, shattering it. 

3. Press paper towels against pressure points to stop your forearm from bleeding until paramedics arrive. 

4. Text Tracy that you hope she’s happy now and that you really want her to have a good and happy life and you mean it even if it’s not with you because she’s a good person and you mean that seriously and you just love her so much and you’re sorry and you love her forever but you just want her to be happy. 

5.Tell paramedics you will never be in love with anybody ever again and that you want to just be alone forever and you don’t even care because it’s what you really want. You don’t need Tracy or anybody. 

6. Swing at paramedics and tell them to get off you because you’re an ultimate fighter and you know jitsu-moves. 

7. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. 

8. Cry, black out.

Personally this how I prepare all of my meals.

Sarah Palin channels Paula Deen ("Racists, party of two!") for the 4th of July celebration. You know, IF Paula Deen got all of her recipes off the internet.

The beauty of catching some of our Alaskan species with fins is the amount of meat harvested with each fish. Rod and reeling red salmon, or, my favorite, a big (or even not so big) halibut ensures you've got a few dinners taken care of even when feeding a bunch of people. 

We had a blast hauling in halibut in Homer a few days ago, despite the cold rain and queasy waves for which Cook Inlet is notorious. (Queasy waves?) Todd flew his Cessna 185 alongside the Inlet, then on to Pedro Bay, then the next day we drove the scenic Seward Highway to Anchor Point's salt water, also part of Cook Inlet. The kids and their friends have gone back and forth between work schedules to different fishing grounds this summer, and they're helping fill the freezer with organic protein for winter! It's the best. I especially love the halibut, and for weaklings like me, it takes a few of us working together to hike the heavy white meat over the railing to gaff and club it. Then tradition calls for a whole group to sit around a bonfire once ashore to watch one pro (that wouldn't be me) do all the filleting while we eat. (Yes it is a Palin family tradition to sit on their ass and make one person do all the work.)

Even more fun than the catch is having the crowd in the kitchen try different ways to cook it. The goal on the water may be to catch the big one, like an 80 lb. king or a "barn door" halibut, but IMHO the best eating is a smaller halibut pulled fresh out of the water and dipped right into the beer batter. (Sounds like she just leaves the heads on and bites right through the spinal column. Yum yum!)

It doesn't really take a village to catch a fish. (Whoa, is THAT a dig at Hillary? Better watch your shit missy, that is a fight you could never win!) But it's fun to have one to eat it up. Here's how the girls and their friends cooked this weekend's fish, and I invite you to try this perfect recipe for wild rhubarb pie as an accompaniment. We stayed in a cabin on the Inlet with an old abandoned garden out back, and even without any horticultural care the perennial bushels of rhubarb never seem to go away. So I hacked stalks of this tart leafy plant to feed our village... er, the crew... in Wasilla. I used my mother-in-law's simple, delicious pie crust recipe (see below) and tried a rhubarb filling recipe I found on the internet. (Live in Alaska your whole life and have to find a rhubarb pie recipe from the internet? Gee just like the pioneer women did.) It was heavenly. Piper put together a collage to show you some before and after shots of the outings, along with a few randoms (see below).

Something different but still maybe par-for-the-course for us: Bristol took her paycheck from starring in a recent episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap" (She and Willow had a ball working with Joan and Melissa Rivers on the episode! Really!) and bought a pontoon. (Oops, I originally read that as poontang. My bad.)(You can spot it festooned with a big bright American flag in the background of one of Piper's collages.) 

(You know it has been awhile since Bristol received a check for being the worst dancer in DWTS's history, and she takes her first big payday since and buys a boat? Nice to see she learned fiscal responsibility from her mother.)

So we finally felt like tourists out on our lake putzing around – no gill nets, cork lines, lead lines, chaos – just floatin' in slow motion. All we're missing is the heat! I'm glad our girls are learning mechanical skills and a general knowledge of "how stuff works" with their acquiring of various pieces of equipment and large used toys for their Alaskan lifestyle. I respect the hardcore, real world skills needed to keep things running. 

Enough sport fishing for now though, or as Todd says,"Enough playing with our food," because our commercial fishing season soon peaks. The guys have headed over to Bristol Bay to slay salmon at our sites while I stay back awhile to get Piper to basketball camps, do some work for FOX, finish my Christmas book, then travel Outside for various events.

Have a great pre-Independence Day week. Take time to appreciate the bounty we're blessed with on God's green earth. I encourage you to get outdoors, breathe it all in, and be thankful! (And once again if you're not sure how to "breathe it all in" here is a helpful video for ya.)

Yeah I think we can all agree that this was written without any professional assistance. "Floatin' in slow motion" and "without any horticultural care" are pure unadulterated Palinese.

Palin then offers two recipes, one for Todd's mother's pie crust (Along with a link to the filling recipe she found on the internet) and the other for beer batter halibut in which she suggests that you get a store bought box of beer batter mix and then provides these helpful directions, "Follow instructions on the box of mix." (My God, my mouth is watering already.)

What's even more humorous is that she is afraid that her instructions for making pie crust are TOO wordy so she offers this explanation, "forgive the elementary instructions – they're written for my Taco Bell-addicted kids and their peers."    Which essentially calls her out on the fact that her children are used to eating fast food, and don't follow instructions well.

Yeah, like we did not already know that.

I think this post was also important in that Palin wants to put to rest those rumors that she is now essentially living full time in Arizona by showing her doing "Alaska things" and talking about how much she loves doing them. (When we ALL know she hates it up here and has always wanted to get the fuck out.)

All in all this is one of the more unintentionally humorous postings from her Facebook account, and for once she did not attack the President, the media, or Liberals. (Well she did take that one swipe at Hillary. But what can you say? She's a horrible bitch.)

P.S. Oh and before I forget, I must mention that mixed in with "Piper's collage" are numerous pictures of Tripp smiling for the camera, because, you know, Mercedes is a liar. (Don't tell me she doesn't read here!)
