Profiting From Higher Standards Of Living Across The Globe

While I am a firm believer in sustainable, organic farming at the local level, Globalists have a totally different perspective. They believe in corporate farming using pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and genetically modified seeds. At the G8 summit (summer 2009), Globalists highlighted the...

[is it just me...]

Or does there seem like a LOT less hype surrounding New Moon than there was for Twilight? ==================================================================================== Today,when my mom and I were doing Meals On Wheels, we had a road runner run out in from of our car(and no, it didn't make a...

McMakeover

FINALLY, a McDonalds I don't have to sneak into and out of under cover of disguise to get my $1 soft serve cones. Now if they could just do something about the Taco Bells around here so I can get my bean and cheese burritos, all would be right with the world. The AP has a story today about the...

Milanesa

Argentina is proud of its European heritage - it wouldn't be a stretch to say that they, on the whole, consider themselves more European than anywhere else in South America, and to be fair they probably are. Except in the North there is very little indigeneous population, and looking at the faces on...

Thai Truck for Lunch

Today is Wednesday that means Thai Truck for Lunch in Meguro. It's been a month since I last had Thai Truck, and it was as good as I remember. =) (BTW my son is doing well, he's just alittle over 1 month old.) Photos taken with the Nokia N97.

omg!

photo from shisomama on flickr I feel like I've been deprived! I tried fan tuan for the first time today and it's the ultra yum. I tried this bun with pork sung from Sheng Kee with Ben once and didn't like it, but in fan tuan it's so so so tasty! The combination of crispy you tiao (chinese donut)...

Dinnertime Conversation ...

As my wife was eating this god-awful looking soup at the Chinese restaurant, she was using a ceramic type spoon they provided. I was eating my egg-drop soup with a regular teaspoon (I’m a Neanderthal). “I can’t use that type of spoon.” I commented. “Why not?” “My mouths not big enough...

It's olive season!

November - and sometimes starting already in October - is olive harvesting season here in Tuscany, and if you know the right people you buy new fresh extra virgin olive oil directly for drizzling on your fresh salads and foods. The processed supermarket kind is used more for cooking. Harvesting and...

Chestnuts roasting...

Jeff's manager Barbara gave us some chestnuts from her trees, and when Larry and Lois were here we roasted them in the oven. This was a new experience for me, noth having grown up in a country where edible chestnuts grow. According to Larry these ones were quite small, so a bit of work, but...

Random food, yummy!

Just want to share with you food that I love, not all on the list as I snap picture of my friend's meal too. I love the bread toast with kaya, and nasi lemak. We need to eat balance meal, cannot eat them always. Have you tried anyone of the food you see here?

Another quiet day

Right now, I'm sitting on the couch. Mr. LT is on the other end, with a conehead tuxie standing on him and kneading and purring. TK was trying to scratch his earz with him back foot a few minutes ago. Doesn't work, just click click click on the cone. Silly. HRT is still mightily annoyed that the...

Sprawling Over Australia's Farmland

Cate Burns has a good piece in The Age raising another point about Australia's exploding population. Specifically the trend of urban sprawl in Sydney and Melbourne. What is inherently wrong with expanding the size of those cities? They were built on some good fertile land to feed the early colonies,...

Possibly, I have too much time on my hands...

So today I started playing around with the baked meatball recipe. It started off like this, but wasn't really working for me. So I tried a tomato sauce, passata with some balsamic vinegar added and it was ok but it was also the definition of bland. What to do... Today, I mushed the chicken mince...

The Hot Dogs of Late Summer

Was poking around in the fridge yesterday and spotted this pack of leftover hotdogs, which I probably bought in back in early September. Had assumed they'd all been consumed long ago, but guess not. I really don't like wasting food now and think I've been pretty good at making sure we don't, but at...

Cannot dine often

I love this meal and it was two weeks before my birthday, I had this meal with my family. Dad was there he was so happy, he wants to get me a cake I say no need. I cannot eat at restaurant often because money is not earning lot any more. We need to save money for the expenses spend at home. My...

459. no sugar, just spice
