      • French News - Bye Bye Burka
        04/29/10


        This picture, from popular English-language news channel France24, highlights an issue that is causing a lot of fuss just now in France and Belgium. Both countries are seeking to ban the burka from public spaces, although the King of Belgium seems to have succeeded in halting the push in

      • There She Blows!
        04/29/10
        I don't know how many have been following the explosion of the oil rig out in the Gulf of Mexico. Based on my last visit to south Texas beaches, the last thing they need is more slimey substances in the water. And then there is the toll on wildlife to consider. It does make one wonder if we sho

        I have a new favorite seasoning called Ponzu Sauce. I saw it in the grocery while looking for the sweet thickened soy that is made with the remains from making palm sugar and soy sauce. I noticed it because of the lemon on the label, probably because I was at that time trying to keep in mind I neede

        04/14/10
        and failed to post in much too long!

        I have a hall pass of sorts, however. Between helping my lovely, now nine months pregnant daughter get moved, the wonderful massive case of allergies I picked up when picking her up in Georgia, and getting the garden rolling out front, I've been a
