  • Study praises Tea Party freshman Labrador for fiscal restraint
    The 2010 elections brought a wave of new blood to Congress, freshmen legislators from across the nation promising to rein in federal spending and regulatory reach as part of the Tea Party movement. A study released this week, however, suggests that rhetoric has not translated to reality for many of these newcomers. One exception to [...]
  • Idaho student will now be allowed to perform song originally deemed ‘too religious’
    Lena Whitmore Elementary School in Moscow, Idaho, has reversed its decision to bar a student from signing the song “We Fall Down.” According to FoxNews.com, the student auditioned for the school’s talent show, where she received praise from teachers. Shortly after that, her mother received a call from the school principal. The principal told the the [...]
  • Otter: Closed primary likely to be discussed at GOP convention
    Much was made leading up to the May 15 primary about it being a closed primary. Many worried that it would turn away voters and result in very few registered voters actually taking part. If the preliminary low primary vote numbers are any indication, the closed primary will be a discussion point for the GOP. As a [...]

Low Cal - Corn Tortillas

CorntortillaWelcome to my first low calorie, low rent starving good eating recipe!  It covers all the bases with protein and vegetables and almost no fat. Take off the meat if you don’t want any and you will also be free of sodium from the taco spice.

Did you know that two corn tortillas are only 110 calories? You can buy these delights in packages of 72 for nearly nothing. You can live off of these for at least a month! A half a cup of refried beans is 110 calories, a tablespoon or two of taco meat is hardly much and one slice of low fat cheese is 60 calories. The lettuce, tomatoes, and raw mushrooms are FREE. Take your tortillas and broil them to get them crunchy – spray both sides with PAM – it’s a no calorie nonstick agent. Turn when browned.  

Seriously, who is going to put ½ cup of beans on their tortillas? Spread it really, really thin, about  1 tablespoon.  Then you take 1/2 tomato and slice it so it covers the beans on the tortilla. Put your RAW sliced mushrooms on top for bulk  then just a few pieces of meat for show, ( you are trying to stay away from meat and lower you cholesterol) then slice up your cheese into small pieces and sprinkle on the top. Broil until browned and bubbly.

A pound of taco meat will last you weeks, just freeze it and take it out in small clumps to thaw for light dinners and lunches while you starve. You might even use a few tablespoons for an egg omelet.

So for less than or around 400 calories or so you can have TWO of them! And, not to forget my political edge for the post. Did you know that Idaho's Governor Otter aka "Butch" compares the state of California to an old gray mare and it needs to be shot and put down? Yep, you gotta read this. I think the Gov may have inserted a hoof into his mouth. Still funny, tho. :-)

“And I said, 'Listen, I was born in a family of nine kids in Caldwell, Idaho, and I have lived on farms and ranches and raised horses all my life,' ” Otter said. “And I would tell you without any equivocation whatsoever, that if California were my horse, I would shoot it. … I would put it down. Obviously easier said than done' “/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune.More here

Serve with a side of lettuce and one packet of leftover Taco Bell sauce for dressing from days of sorry ass eating. These actually taste pretty good because remember, you are starving! They also have a nice crunch and your teeth will sink in like a raging carnivore. Remember, nothing tastes better than SKINNY!

  • Personal Attacks
    Mary Souza’s Newsletter   Anti Recall people have been slinging personal insults, calling childish names and organizing intimidation against local businesses.  They are trying to act big but, in truth, they are incredibly small. And at last Tuesday’s city council meeting, they even tried to blame the Recall effort for all the personal anger and vitriol.  [...]
  • Inclined to Intimidate
    Mary Souza’s Newsletter   There’s a long standing, but ugly tradition of intimidation in our town. It’s trying to smother the Recall effort right now and it’s trying to block the public’s right to vote. But this time the intimidators are not going to win. We have strength and safety in numbers, and thousands of [...]
  • “So You’ll Recall” — Tom Kane
    Wednesday night OpenCdA attended a meeting of about 50 community members to discuss the recall effort under way in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.   At the close of the meeting, a man with a soft, peaceful voice asked if he could read a poem he had composed. I wish everyone in Coeur d’Alene could have heard his [...]
