Sorry, So Sorry

So last year, due to reformatting of Facebook, I moved White Fat Guy History Month to this wonderful WordPress blog. But then, I met with opposition, as a non-historic, non-fat, white guy got engaged and demanded I throw him a bachelor party during this historic month.  So I didn’t post as I should, sorry. But, I will try again, when I can and hopefully 2011 will be the best White Fat History Month ever.

St. Thomas Aquinas Sandwiches

The Saint Thomas Aquinas (Egg and Onion Sandwich) 

Ingredients:
2 Eggs (if you get larger eggs it yields a more substantial sandwich)

1 Slice of Sharp Provolone (or preferred cheese)

2 Slices of American Bacon

1/2 Fresh Cooking Onion

Brown Mustard, and/ or hot sauce

2 Slices of Rye Bread
Salt and Pepper to taste 

In a frying pan cook two piece of bacon, save the grease and discard the bacon however you see fit. Chop up the onion, beat the eggs in a bowl ( if desired, or just fry them). Put the two slices of bread in the toaster. In 1/2 of the Bacon greased frying pan fry the eggs in the other half fry the onion. Put one of the pieces of toast with the slice of cheese in the microwave until the cheese melts, slather the other with mustard. Place fried eggs on the cheesed bread,(add the bacon if you haven\’t eaten it yet) add salt and pepper then the onion, top with the bemustarded piece of toast ( to hold the onions in place). Enjoy!

If you are talented and good at cleaning up after your self you can replace the slice of cheese with two slices of cheese,  but I would toast the bread in the frying pan making a kind of open face grilled cheese sandwich.  This does help resolve the main problem of Toasty Aquinases which is keeping the caramelized onion in the sandwiches. It also add much needed bacon flavor to the bread.

Alternatively, If you are a filthy hippie you can place the whole thing in a pita pocket instead. I would melt the cheese over the eggs when you cook them  then move to a bowl  chop it up then jam it in the pita.

I would not recommend the Luther Vandross version of this sandwich (as i would most other sandwiches), but pleasant results have been obtained with cinnamon bread (omit the mustard).

Garlic bread  is amazing.

I am aware Aquinas predates the innovation of the sandwich by 500 years, but I am certain that if he were alive today this would be his favorite dish.

Have you ever considered making a career by selling overpriced baubles to the senile? Then I have a White Fat Guy for you!

Tom Bosely

Actor, Spokesman

Bosley is well known for his role as the father on Happy Days. He went on to be the ineffective sheriff on Murder She Wrote, then  played the titular crime solving priest in the Father Dowling Mysteries which was originally going to be based on The Father Brown Mysteries by (white fat guy) G.K. Chesterton but that was too sophisticated and expensive for ABC.  He is also famous for his voice work often playing expressive fatherly figures. Tom Bosley also likes money, so he will sell you Glad Bags, Spam, Ant traps or “specialty merchandise”.   While TV Land or Nick at Nite has stopped playing Happy Days, and the PAX network has stopped playing Father Dowling but you can still watch  him in his Infomercials at 4 am on FOX.

Governor Robert MacDonnell not invited to 7th Annual WFGHM Luncheon

Virginia Governor Robert MacDonnell recently declared April to be Confederate History Month.

First, I would like to say: I called it first! Get your own History Month, October or maybe June or maybe the ladies will share March with you.

Secondly,  after much research ( 2 minute google image search that is)  I find there are no White Fat Heroes of the Confederacy. ( well we did celebrate John Breckinridge one year.) Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee,  and Stonewall Jackson were all quite svelte. This is obviously an attempt to obscure the achievements of White Fat Guys by flooding the media with their fake history month.

Shame on you Robert MacDonell, you are not invited to our Luncheon or the award ceremony that follows.  Also not invited to the Luncheon are Jerry O’Connell ,  Jared Leto and the people who run HBO.

Ohh man you remember White Fat History Month, Well, it is still happening in blog form!

Facebook, oh ,Facebook do you know what you have done?

White Fat Guy History Month  originated in a Philosophy of Religion Class at Finger Lakes Community College.  It was mainly an excuse for me to go on long rants in cafeterias.  In 2007, it became much more than that, the greatest Facebook group, ever. Then in the Summer of 2009 Facebook, in an attempt to become Twitter, changed everything. Groups no longer had awesome blue layouts that you could organize biographies, pictures and links relating to great men in history. Facebook groups are now a garbled mess. White Fat Guys deserve better!

So in an effort to keep my five fans happy I am slowly moving my work over to this wonderful blog.

This month I will be posting some new stuff here and there, but I will be doing  a lot archival work so some days I will cheat and just put an old one up, forgive me.

So enjoy, have fun, and have a happy WFGHM!
