1. But, but, but. . . their biscuits!

[Sannum]

2. OH GOD!

The Biscuts!:9

[proud patriot]

4. The biscuits are very easy to make at home

just add some grated cheddar to homemade biscuits,
it you want them w/ garlic add a few dashes of garlic
powder ...

I make them at home all the time ..

[sybylla]

21. Schwans sells something similar, for you midwesterners

They're called Cheese and Herb biscuits. I find they are very close to Red Lobsters and very easy to make.

The only question is whether or not Schwans is a big contributor to any political parties.

[arkie dem]

31. Schwans is a big

GOP supporter.

Marvin Schwans widow is a huge newtie gringrich supporter.

[sybylla]

35. okay, okay

I heard something along those lines awhile ago but haven't seen proof yet. They don't show up on the choose blue website and I haven't had much time to check into it :shrug:

[htuttle]

38. Sorry -- I can't say that name with a straight face

"I'm going to go get something to eat at Schwans."

hehe, hehe, hehe...he said schwanz...

:hi:
FSC, who quit Red Lobster a few years ago...

[yinkaafrica]

14. That is so easy even I can make 'em

I love biscuits

[Danmel]

13. Here you go- here is the recipe

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Source: Orlando Sentinel Newspaper

2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Mix Bisquick, milk and cheese until a soft dough forms. Drop by spoonsful onto an ungreased cooking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Mix butter and garlic powder. Brush mixture over warm biscuits before removing from cookie sheet.


Now you don't have to go there again.

Here is a link to a site that has "copycat" recipes of all your chain place faves- since most of them are red, you can make them at home and spend your hard earned money at blue businesses.

25. 1/2 cup butter?

so much for using low-fat Bisquick! :crazy:

[yella_dawg]

15. Want the recipe?

Actually, I think my "counterfeits" are better.

[seriousstan]

3. By the looks of that list...you'll be eating at home.

[karlrschneider]

6. Yeah, no shit. It's depressing to read it.

:grr:

[rkc3]

7. Despite just eating lunch out today, I can't imagine why anyone would

want to eat at a chain restaurant.

IMHO, all the food tastes the same - bland.

Maybe it's because I do all the cooking in my house, but I am disappointed every time I go to a restaurant. It's even worse when I take the kids out and watch the waiter throw half of their meals out.

[SmokingJacket]

5. That food comes frozen in big cardboard boxes

and is reheated in the restaurant. How else could they get it so uniform from restaurant to restaurant?

If you want frozen food, it's cheaper at the Safeway! (or, your blue company preference!)

[Salviati]

11. definitely not Safeway...

Safeway Inc
Dems: 16% $23,456
Reps: 84% $123,144

They're more biased to the republicans than Walmart is...

But then again, the whole grocery industry is pretty red, gotta look into getting that costco card...

[President Jesus]

8. list of top 100 ceo campaign contributions

most comprehensive list to date

[DulceDecorum]

9. Shakedown

That thing looks like a list of those who pay "insurance" to the mo_, I mean the Republicans, so that bad things won't happen to them.

Where exactly does all that money go?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

12. We'll need to go to Arby's and Starbucks....

n/t

[Az_lefty]

16. I caught that too...

Fast food and expensive coffee.....:scared:

[Mojambo]

23. That's funny

Just the other day I found myself in an Arby's for the first time in many years. I was shocked by the all-around positive feel of the establishment. The employees were all laughing and having fun, the managers were smiling and visable, and the store was super clean and organized.

It was a very uncommon feel for a fast food restaurant and I was kind of taken back by it. It's interesting to now learn that they are a "blue" restaurant.

[tkmorris]

17. I'm with ya on Red Lobster

I also note that Hooter's donates 97% of it contributions to Republicans. Filing that little factoid away for future use.........

[ChairOne]

18. If they ever have all-u-can-eat crablegs again.....

... I'll have to go... sorry....

I can eat a LOT of crablegs... and I REALLY like doing so...

[Shopaholic]

19. Bisquick even has Cheedar Bisquit Mixes so you don't even have

to do your own!

[ChairOne]

22. Does bisquick also have *crab leg* mixes? /eom

[Az_lefty]

20. Weird how FOX Networks are 61% DEM ??????????

:shrug:

[suziedemocrat]

33. I noticed that too - VERY ODD!!!

[durablend]

37. There's a bunch of other oddities on that list

I thought Amazon was red? :shrug:

[RebelOne]

24. Sorry, all. I'm not giving up Red Lobster. n/t

[Siyahamba]

30. I'm sure they thank you for your support.

[gatorboy]

26. Doesn't bother me...I can't even afford Red Lobster....

EOM

[Bridget Burke]

27. There's too much seafood in Houston to miss Red Lobster.....

Outback Steakhouse does a pretty good prime rib, but I'll skip it. (Medium rare, with a caesar salad, baked potato & glass of Shiraz...oh, well.)

However, the Fattest City in the Country has no shortage of local restaurants.

[scarlet_owl]

28. I could have told you that. I used to work there and the

company newsletter would be filled with articles about how raising the minimum wage would be bad for their employees. Don't eat at the Olive Garden, either (also owned by Darden restaurants).

[RB TexLa]

29. Not too much meaning

I don't know what issue is pushing the restaurants that far to the right. But most industries have some form of regulation. And they give money to the people that oversee the regulation. If you will look to what state a company is headquartered in or does substantial business in you can come up with their numbers without the web page. They are going to give to their home state congressional delegation, they are going to give more to the one that represents the district they are in, they are going to give to the chairman of whatever congressional and state committees oversee their industry. They are going to give money to the current governor. All of this is regardless of party. Yes there are companies with a defiant political stance but most are just buying access and protecting their interests.

[alfredo]

32. The last time I ate there

they didn't leave my dinner in the microwave long enough. It was partially frozen.
We left.

[The Night Owl]

34. My car is not only blue, but it is also made by a blue manufacturer!

I rock!

[Patiod]

36. One of the redeeming qualities of working in a major city

Lots of family-owned restaurants. No need to patronize any chain restaurants for any reason

[Left Is Write]

40. According to that, I can't go anywhere but Sonic and Starbucks.

[hector459]

41. ONe winery that I will support: Astrale E Terra Wines

It appears that drinking folks have more sense than fat,bloated eaters at fast foods and restaurants.

[hector459]

42. People with the "brains" (computer) contribute blue. Makes sense to me.

I do believe that Microsoft is mostly Republican though.
