Meat America - Epic Meal Time. Published on Jul 3, 2012 by EpicMealTime. EpicMealTime celebrates the 4th of July by putting together a revolutionary masterpiece. To mark the festivities, we use tomahawks to throw down a ton of game meat brought to us by our good friend Connor. Bison steaks, deer meat and a side order of rabbit carcass have never looked so real. :: Happy 4th of July from Epic Meal Time and Assassin's Creed 3 || ► Epic Enchiladas - Epic Meal Time. Published on Oct 23, 2012 by EpicMealTime. EpicMealTime is going in on enchiladas, except we make them bigger and greasier. Our enchiladas are full of liquor soaked meats, cheesy snacks and covered in liquor salsa.

Oh, this is truly a meat eater channel. I'm looking for recipes of vegetables and fruits --my food-- but I did not find it. Tsk! well...never mind, at least my partner is a meat eater. I will try to cook this recipe for him. It may be true as his joke, that if I was neglected and abandoned in the wilderness, then I would be able to survive, because I could get food easily just by picking all kinds of plants there.

I pretended to be offended. "What? All types of plants? Including grass and shrubs?"

He just answered my astonishment with laughter, laughing playfully, "Yep. By having you is a proven strategy for saving the cost of living."

Then he laughed out loud as if I was just kind of herbivores (eg sheep, cattle, horses, sheep, etc.) who did not understand what the meaning of his laughter.

His teeth looked white and clean. Human teeth. So, though sometimes I have imagination in fables, but I could never see him as a wild animal (eg lion, tiger, alligator, rabbit, wolf, etc.) that is always present in my life (until the end of time). I even wondered why could I fall in love with this one omnivore? More than that, I'm going to have a baby of his seed ... seeds of a meat-eater and plant eater, ... haaa... I can't wait to monitor the growth of our baby. Ehehehe...dahling, we'll see. From now on, I'm going to do an act with a high provocation: have one follower for vegetarians.  (My baby, say goodbye to your father. Goodbye.... eeheheh)

► Egypt's Islamist leader opposes peace with Israel - Associated Press

What do they want? Do not want peace with Israel? So, they want to continue the war? Are they anti-peace groups? What kind of Islam they are? Islam is religion of peace. If you judge yourself is an Islamic, when you see there are two sides in a dispute, please do not involve yourself with misguided solidarity that will make the feud hotter. Your alignments will not end the conflict. Your partisanship only make endless war. If war is the only thing what they want, what's the point of peace talks? So, if the war is their goal, then do not try to attract the sympathy of the world with many civilian casualties and bloodshed, if deep in their hearts they are fond of war. Rational enough, is not it?

Ehheheh... you see? It's like what I said, is not it? The Arabs are funny.

The U.S. with all its manners said with a sweet smile (I noticed Hillary Clinton's smile was also actually quite sweet), "Thank you very much for your role in the conflict this time, Morsi."

Morsi tried to reply to the U.S. with a sweet smile, too, though who knows if he said to himself, "Oh, please do not praise me too sincere, because I actually have to deal with a dilemma .... mamamama ...")

And now, his people said he was the new Pharaoh. ehhehehhe....

"Who is the funniest of them?" I asked my partner with a bit embarrassed.


"Hahahaa ..." he said in a friendly laughter. (For a moment I felt he was my best friend at times like that. He's my fiance and soon would be a father. Hopefully we can be good parents to our baby. Amen.)

"Just the same, hon ... just like what you say. They are the funniest people in the world, haha..." he said, still laughing. But then I felt I understood what he meant by-that-they-would-keep-asking-for-more-attention-from-the-media.

With sincere feelings: I'm sorry for them. With a clear mind: Is this what is desired by those who are called the Islamist fighters, hm? If yes, will they stop the tears of these people?
