Help Find Women Who Dined and Dashed from Mac's Tavern!

UPDATE: 1/26/2012 18:22 The situation has been resolved!


You know Mac's Tavern (owned by It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia actors Rob McElhenney & Kaitlin Olsen)? Well, 3 women dined, drank, and dashed out on the bill the other night and Mac's Tavern has posted the ladies pictures on their Facebook Page hoping to embarrass the women into paying their bill -- this is what they wrote on their FB page:   To the 3 middle-aged women who decided that paying their bill was OPTIONAL last night: we won't enhance, blow up, print on high-quality paper and plaster the pictures of you from last night (stiffing one of our waitresses) all over the city... IF you come and pay us the money you owe us. Shit, you can MAIL it. Ya know, since you ate and drank, people generally expect you to pay for it. Then again, let's try a play-by-play instead - DEADBEATS


If you recognize any of these women, please tell them to pull up their big girl panties and send in their money to Mac's Tavern.

Obama To Patriots: Get Rid Of Tom Brady

Obama’s main theme is “fairness for everyone.”
Thou shalt not have more talent, more skill, more reward than my brother.
Okay, then, let’s pretend that Obama is the coach of the New England Patriots.
Tom Brady is obviously skilled, a hard worker, and is OMG – reaping the benefits of talent, skill, and hard work. He is creating jobs for those on his team, those outside his team (from sales to marketing to merchandising to bringing income into the city).
If Obama were Brady’s coach, no doubt, in ‘being fair,’ Obama would send Brady to the Colts; Peyton Manning was injured and didn’t play this year – instead, a second string QB replaced Manning and the Colts had a terrible season and OMGosh, this is JUST NOT FAIR!
According to Obama, no person should do better than another, and if they do, they oughta be stripped of their talent and wealth, and if they were truly patriotic, they would help those who weren’t as lucky (or didn’t work as hard).
Obama blames everyone but himself – imagine an NFL coach doing this – just how long do you think he’d be reporting for duty.
“We lost again, but WAIT, it’s not my fault, it was the weather – it was too hot!”
“We lost again, but wait, it’s not my fault! It was the fans – they weren’t loud enough!”
“We lost again, but wait, it’s not my fault – it was the previous coach – he spoiled our whole team!”
Obama proclaimed at the start of 2012 that he wasn’t going to work with Congress anymore because they (including a Democrat filled Senate House) can’t get along.
How well do you think this would work at a coach?
Imagine Obama walking into the GM’s office and saying, “Listen, these players won’t listen to me so I’m just going to spend the rest of the year traveling to other cities and talking about what a great coach I am.”
GM: “You’re going to talk about what a great coach you are, when you can’t even work with your own team?”
Obama: “Yes. That’s what a great leader does.”
GM: “Seems to me a great leader will do whatever it takes to get his players to communicate – if it takes locking the doors and ordering pizza and beer for the next month – he’ll do it. A great leader will not turn his back on his players, he’ll turn himself over to them, find out what he can do to bring out the best in all of his players.”
Obama: “That’s ridiculous. Players should listen to their coach. A coach shouldn’t have to listen to his players.”
GM: “You’re fired.”
In an Obamacratic world – There would be no Super Bowl – no World Series – no Stanley Cup – because everyone would be equal. Your children would not get A’s or B’s – because they would share their grade averages with those children who were not as smart or those children who elected to play video games instead of studying – so your children – to be fair to all – would have C’s.
If this is the world you would like to live in, please, feel free to open your house the homeless – to share half your salary with the welfare mom that continues to have kids.
If you’re a true Patriot, you believe in individual liberty, in striving for success, and teaching your children to work hard, not to reach for a handout.
I don’t pretend to know a lot about football (I’m a hockey fan, to be honest) – but I do know if Obama were to be the coach of any team – his “fair” philosophy, endless excuses for failure (none of his doing, of course) and refusal to work with his team – would land him in the unemployment line and no doubt, he’d be portrayed as one of the worst coaches in all of sports history.
The Super Bowl is a celebration of talent, strength, hard work, and success. It is not always won by the team with the highest payroll. It is often won by the team that has hustled the most, has found a way to minimize their losses and how to turn their weakness into strengths – and who is most responsible for the teams’ success? The coaches. They don’t talk about being fair – they don’t blame the weather or bad timing or a previous coach for the team’s failures. They sit in small room and watch endless game tapes, they get inside their players heads, they motivate, they plan and then they execute and if it doesn’t work, they take responsibility and work harder. They never, ever, turn their back on their team.
If Obama would send Tom Brady to one of the worst NFL teams in the league to punish Tom for his talent, success, and hard work, what kind of message does that send to other players?
It sends a message of why try to be successful – only to have it taken away.
A team is a reflection of a coach.
Congress is a reflection of its’ leader.
And with Obama as America’s coach, we’ve become one of the worst teams in the league.

Maple Bacon Donut Holes

Oh, I wish I could take credit for this - but it comes from Samiwich and Addiecakes! Please visit for more awesome recipes!

MAPLE GLAZE INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 c powdered sugar

1/4 c maple syrup

1/4 c water

* I used milk

DOUGHNUT INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 c of all-purpose flour

1 3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 c of lightly packed brown sugar

1/4 c of white sugar

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp nutmeg

1/3 c of cold butter, cut into small pieces

1/4 c of milk, room temperature

* I added an extra half cup because it looked dry

1 1/2 c of bite size chunks of apple, peeled and cored

* I grated the apple

1 egg, room temperature

1 c coarsely chopped cooked bacon

MAPLE GLAZE INSTRUCTIONS

• In a medium-sized bowl, mix all 3 glaze ingredients until you get the consistency you like. Set aside.

DOUGHNUT INSTRUCTIONS

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugars, salt and and nutmeg in a bowl.

• Add the cold chopped butter. Rub the pieces of butter with the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

• Mix in the milk and fold in the apples.

• In a separate bowl, beat the egg then add to the flour mixture. Stir using a spatula or spoon making sure not to over mix.

• Preheat your doughnut hole maker (refer to your box instructions), this only takes a couple minutes.

* I greased the mold with a bit of melted butter to prevent sticking.

• Place a spoonful of batter into each mold of a buttered mini muffin pan.

• Bake for 5-6 minutes or until the donuts are just golden. Remove from the doughnut hole maker.

• Dunk in the maple glaze then place on a wire rack.

• Immediately sprinkle with bacon.

** ADDIECAKES' NOTES **

• If you don't have a doughnut hole maker, you can use a mini muffin pan. Preheat your oven to 350˚F and bake for 15-18 min.

• The doughnut holes get soggy the next day, so they should be eaten the day they are made.

Pineapple Bacon Balls!

6 slices bacon
4 ounces Philadelphia Pineapple Cream Cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons chopped pineapple basil (or just regular basil)
Cracked black pepper
1/4 cup pecans

Cut each piece of bacon in half. Place the bacon in a large skillet without overlapping the slices, and turn the heat on low. Cook on low for about 15 minutes, turning frequently, until the bacon is crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pat the slices to remove excess grease.

While the bacon is cooking, whip the pineapple cream cheese, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of herbs, and a few turns of cracked black pepper in the food processor. Whip until creamy and well-mixed, then form small balls, about the size of the tip of your thumb. Insert lollipop sticks. Put in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up a little more. (Don't let them freeze all the way; just help them firm up. You can also place them in the refrigerator for a longer period of time.)

Crumble the cooled bacon, the remaining tablespoon of herbs, and the pecans in food processor. Whip until very fine and crumbly.

Take the cheese balls out of the freezer and roll them in the bacon mixture, pressing it in with your fingers if it doesn't immediately stick.

Place the balls in a container on their sides and refrigerate until serving.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip - Sugar Free (and made with chick peas??)

(No sugar!) Cookie Dough Dip

It’s gluten-free, too.

This is courtesy of Chocolate Covered Katie

• 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (1 can, drained) (250g)
• heaping 1/8 tsp salt
• tiny bit over 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1 T plus 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup nut butter (You can get away with using only 3 T. If you use peanut butter, some people say it has a slight “pb cookie dough” taste, so you can sub oil if you don’t want that.)
• 1 and 1/4 cup pitted dates (I used SunMaid, from a regular grocery store)
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips (see link below, for sugar-free option)
• 2 T oats (You can omit)
• nondairy milk as needed (depending on the consistency you want. I used a few T.)

In a bowl, cover the dates with 1/2 cup water. Let this sit for at least 8 hours. Then add all ingredients (including the dates’ soaking liquid), except chocolate chips, to a food processor and blend until very smooth.

If you wish, you can use: Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips.

This can be served as a dessert dip, as a spread, eaten with a spoon,  stuffed into cupcakes, or even used to top pancakes.

Ristorante Il Melograno - Best Italian in Bucks County!

 Ristorante Il Melograno is really difficult for me to prounce so I just refer to it as the 'best Italian restaurant in Bucks County). An "authentic" Italian restaurant in a SHOPPING CENTER?? - hell yeah bitches! We've been here twice, once for lunch and for dinner (I chose this for my birthday celebration - that's how much I love it).
Small, but inviting and cozy.
Staff - excellent, attentive, but with heavy Italian accent - just nod and smile if you can't figure out what they are saying.
Owner is also the Chef.
Food is SO DAMN GOOD.
I mean, seriously.
LOML(love of my life - gag, right?? - but it's true...) had lobster bisque both times. He was astounded by the actual LOBSTER in the bisque. He loved it and said he could eat it everyday for the rest of his life and not get sick of it.
I had the Mozzarella all Caprese salad - who knew mozzarella, tomatoes and roasted peppers could taste so fresh and explode with flavor at the same time?
The second visit, I had a special of the night salad, which was beets with blue cheese - HELLO, this was FABULOUS.
The first visit, I had Pollo all cacciatora which was just perfect. LOML had Scampi e Faggioli and gave it a hefty thumbs up.
We both had dessert - he had Creme Brulee (of course) and loved it so much, he had it the second visit and proclaimed it the best he's ever had. And seriously, it's about all he ever orders for dessert, so he has many different Creme Brulee to compare it to.
I had Italian Rum cake the first time (soooo good and moist) and the second time I had a special of the night dessert, which I can't remember what it was called, but it was fabulous (see the picture).
The second visit, we split the gnocci al pomodoro - little pillows of potato goodness. I wished I'd ordered a whole dish to myself so I could take some home...
LOML had the Scampi al Aglio for his main dish (he loved) and I had the beef medallions sauteed in a peppercorn sauce (divine).
No "quirky" food here (I love quirky food) - just authentic, fantastically flavorful food, brought to you by friendly attentive staff.
OH! And my cappuccino came with a snowman rendering in the foam!
Hands down, my favorite Italian restaurant in Bucks/Montgomery county!!! And so far, even beats out the Philly places I've tried!!
Make it a New Years Resolution to try it!!!
