Supper

Last night, when I got home at 8:40 PM, Lora, Serenity and JD were busy cooking supper. I knew that they were going to make Portobello Mushroom burgers since Lora had informed me earlier in the evening that they were going to do that. What I did not expect was the vast quantity of side dishes that they, for reasons known only to them, decided to cook as well. I was also not expecting dinner to be at 10:00 PM :-P

As soon as I came in the door Lora proudly announced "We bought you beer" so I felt compelled to drink one of those, though I hadn't actually wanted one before that. Before dinner there was a big bowl of hummus with peppers and other stuff in it that was quite tasty and crackers to dip into it (I checked the label and they were not vegan but I ate them anyway, what's a little whey now and then anywhey?). I think there were 3 types of cheese, I didn't eat any cheese of course. There were the most delicious large stuffed mushrooms, I ate about 4 of those and by then could have left the table satisfied but that was just the beginning of our impromptu feast. There were two types of olives, kalamata and green ones stuffed with garlic.

For the actual sit down part of the feast there were baby potatoes, squash and zucchini, a big salad with all sorts of greens (Serenity helped with the chopping here), onions and snow peas and tomatoes and mystery bits, parsnip if I recall was in there somewhere. There was french bread and "Truffle Olive Oil" and balsamic vinegar to dip it in too. There were blackberries and strawberries for the salad as well. I had some of those on the side. There was wine of course. Oh, and the portobello mushrooms topped with sauteed shallots and avocados on a hamburger bun with Veganaise (mayo) and greens. There was tabouli and couscous too.

By the time I waddled off to bed I was truly stuffed to the gills. Everything was delicious, Lora admitted that she thinks JD is a better cook than her. He certainly is creative with whipping this sort of thing up, he's done it before for us and I was impressed then. Lora specializes more in the comfort food category than the gourmet stuff.

I'm pretty sure that, even though it was 99.999% vegan, I probably gained 5 pounds eating last night. Wonderful! As Serenity said while looking right at me "A meal fit for a fat king" 8-)

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...
