I wandered in here from the mac book pro thread.

If you want to make some mushrooms she'll love then try this.

Thinly sliced organic baby bella's or shitakes
Splash of vegetable oil or other high heat oil

You need the pan to be smoking hot before adding the mushrooms and the shrooms. If this will be the pan you cook other veggies in then always make sure you start with the mushies first always. Most people that dislike mushrooms, dislike them because of their water content and the texture that results from it.

So add the mushrooms in an even layer to the hot pan and oil. The mushrooms should just barely absorb all the oil in the pan. Don't add salt yet because it will force the water from the mushrooms prematurely. Cook on med- high heat for 3 mins. Flip and repeat.
when the mushrooms have a crispy texture season lightly with sea salt and pepper. Also add a little soy butter or a rich olive oil to the pan.The mushies will absorb this tasty fat and become flavorly explosive.

From here you could add some sliced shallots, diced bell peppers, sun dried tomatoes, aspargus or some snap pea's. Organic is always best.
Try to get as nice a sear on the veggies as you can.

Hope this helps with your magic mushroom quest.

Cheers!

My foul-mouthed indonesian boarding school roommate used to play this at rather unpleasant volume. I have so much nostalgia right now.

One of the lesser-known benefits of biodiesel:

When it accidently gets all over your hands at the pump and you are without a rag to immediately clean it up, biodiesel leaves your skin feeling soft and supple, possibly even looking younger.

Try that with gasoline.

Sounds almost as exciting as turning over the mulch in the compost toilet. Don't know how that would leave my skin feeling though.
bettina:
Wow, you could be to Biodiesel what Madge was to Palmolive! Old husbands willl see you in the grocery store and holler "s5, I moisturized with it!" and you will smile and nod knowingly.

Thanks for jumping in on my ARRR!!! thread, I was beginning to think it was just me going crazy. I'm sure I won't post in there for another year again. biggrin

Olivia and I are trying to figure out if trepanning is an effective long-term cure for headaches or not. Anyone know?

My birthday is coming up, and I've been instructed to make an Amazon wishlist, but I am terrible at wanting things. Right now the things I want are either ridiculously expensive or can't be found on Amazon, like not being in debt or traveling more often or having more free time to get through the stack of books next to my night table.

Right now...

I recently finished watching Rome on HBO, which was amazing. Rome is the kind of program that shows television's potential as a medium for art and great theater, rather than a device for injecting pollution into your brain. (Though, most of it really is pollution.)

The last episode left me with a burning question, though. (And I'm going to freely post "spoilers" since Roman history...

Yes, but where does G. Gordon Liddy fit into all this?
caradura:
I agree with your opinion of ROME and I do feel sympathy for Ceasar. He crushed, he conquered, he "veni, vidi, vici" but not only on his personal reputation, honor or wealth but for the greater good of the Republic as well. As you probably noticed, all the romans including Cesar were deeply religious. They belived on a greater good beyond themselves.

He, as any other leader in history, was an ambitious SOB but, is there a way to become an EFFECTIVE leader without ambition? Is not ambition the fuel that make our world run even nowadays?

The importance of ROME (Both the series and the History) is that it fairly represent our present role in the world (as the only superpower) and our future.

Eventualy, any leader will be judged by his actions. Our nation, as a representative of the new Republic, is being judged by the world at this moment in a similar fashion as Rome was judged; as a conqueror.

There is no easy alternatives. History has showed that pacific co-existence is not possible, at least not for long; either you rule or are ruled over.

As rulers we intent to be as compasionate and humane as possible but there is always a limit, imposed not by our desires of fairness or justice but by history itself, that had repeatedly proven over and over again, that's not possible to run an empire with our feelings.
