Kudlow Mocks Biden's Climate Plan

Kudlow Mocks Biden’s Climate Plan

"SNIP.....

Larry Kudlow claimed on Fox News that under President Joe Biden’s new climate plan grilled Brussels sprouts would replace hamburgers at the 4th of July.

Said Kudlow: “Ok, got that? No burger on July 4. No steaks on the barbecue. I’m sure Middle America is just going to love that. Can you grill those Brussels sprouts? So get ready. You can throw back a plant-based beer with your grilled Brussels sprouts and wave your American flag. Call it July 4th Green.”

.....SNIP"

Goddard: Of course, there’s nothing about eliminating meat in Biden’s climate plan. And beer has always been plant-based.

Beer is made from barley, hops and yeast, which are plants. If he drinks beer he's always been drinking plant-based beer. Wadda maroon.

Free base!

The man has no economic degree and has been treated for multiple chemical addictions. All of which occurred before people loss millions of dollars when in September of 2008 he said the market wouldn’t come down. Still though with Larry the quick path to enlightenment did not come from Cocaine nor Alcohol. He seems to always be wrong for which he deserves consistency points.

But I'm not worried about their becoming mandatory - if that were the case I guess I'd have to starve because they really are vile.

some certain way or other - roasted, grilled, sautéed, all kinds of spices - and I have duly tried those ways and I still hated them. There is no way to cook them in a method that makes them not taste like rotting garbage marinated in battery acid. They are just unbearably bitter.

But I've kinda mastered their preparation.

Probably the most key part is not cooking them whole. They need to be cut in half, at least. I think there are some gasses inside them that some people are really sensitive to. You just have to cook that out, which is like impossible if you don't cut them open.

Pre heat the grill to 320F
Wash and rinse a bunch of sprouts
Get about 1/4 cup of bacon fat
In a barbeque wok add the sprouts, with the lid up, turn and stir them every 2 minutes for a total of 6 minutes
Turn off the grill
Lift the wok up and put a baking sheet under the wok and on the grates of the grill
Add the qtr cup of bacon fat and stir in
Serve and watch them disappear

You would love them you fake freak.

My method is slightly simpler:
1) Get LARGE sprouts, at least 2" long, 3" is better, preferably they're all very similar size
2) Clean and cut in half length-wise
3) Place into a ziploc bag, with some butter, bacon fat, salt, pepper, and squeeze of citrus juice (lemon is good)
4) Microwave about 1-1:30 minute depending on quantity, and distribute juices and spices in their warm form, and let marinate on counter for about 1 hour.
5) Plop them face down on grill but not directly over the flames. Cooking other things at same time is great.

Typically they'll be perfect in 10-20 mins depending on how hot the grill is, whether you keep the lid down, how cold it is outside, how much other stuff you're cooking, etc. Fortunately they're good over a wide variety of doneness levels.

Actual charcoal makes em WAY better, btw.

He lists other schools that he either never attended, or attended for a few weeks but never earned any degree (Princeton). He has ZERO expertise in economics (other than reading scripts about it), or the environment. He's one of the biggest FRAUDS of our era.

Why doesn't someone with clout go after this fraud and expose him?
