I cannot believe the amount of time the news shows are spending railing on Mitt Romney for making a $10,000 bet with Perry during the debate. Ridiculous. Have you ever in your life said I'll betcha a million bucks? I am sick of hearing people talk about how rich Mitt Romney is and how is out of touch with the American people.
People in the news analyze the most ridiculous things.

4 Months of Breakfasts Day 2
This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks, Dana's Cookbook. The author is Dana Thornock and she was the creator of the Lean and Free 2000 diet plan.
So, Day 2 will be Blender Whole Wheat pancakes.
1 cup skim milk
1 1/3 cups wheat
3 egg whites (or just 1 egg)
1 T sugar
1/4 t salt
2 T oil
1 t baking soda
2 t baking powder
Pour milk and wheat into blender. Liquefy for 4 minutes. While still mixing, add egg whites, sugar, salt, oil, and baking soda. Add baking powder last. Stop blender as soon as ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Bake on hot griddle sprayed with nonstick cooking spray after each batch. Serve hot.
This makes 10 pancakes, which would be sufficient for our family of four. So, I need to make my list for the 4 months of breakfasts:
6 cups powdered milk
22 cups wheat
16 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 T salt
2 cups oil
6 T baking soda
11 T baking powder

4 Months of Breakfasts Day 1
In building up a year's supply, let's start small. Sort of. I want to get there quickly and cheaply. And yummily. So, we will start with just breakfast. But let's do 4 months of breakfast.
That should be pretty easy. If you just want to eat one thing for breakfast always, just get a four months supply of your favorite breakfast. For some variety, I will come up with 7 breakfasts. 7 breakfasts, 16 weeks.
1. Oatmeal --Easy. We need 4 servings for one day at my house (4 people). Then there are 16 weeks. 4X16=64. A serving is 1/2 cup. So we need 32 cups.
Toppings--I do peanut butter. My husband does brown sugar. 1 tsp would be good per bowl. So he needs 16 tsp. 3 tsp in one T. So, we will round to 6 T.
The kids and I will do peanut butter. 1T each. So, 3T per day. 3X16=48 T. Works great. 16 T per cup, so 3 cups of peanut butter. Or, if just going by the jar (2T is a serving), that would be 24 servings.
Powdered milk. 1/3 cup dry milk makes 1 cup prepared. So, each of us would need a cup. 1 1/3 cup needed per day. 1 1/3 X16=ok need to do this one on calculator. Ok, about 22 cups.
So, breakfast needs for day 1 (for 4 months):
1. 32 cups of oatmeal. Or, 64 servings.
2. 6 T brown sugar
3. 3 cups peanut butter. Or, 24 servings
4. 22 cups powdered milk.
5. 32 cups applesauce
And actually, let's add in a fruit. Gotta balance all of this! Applesaue. 1/2 cup is a serving. That would be 2 cups per day for us, so 32 cups of applesauce.
