Share Your Lunch: What Do You Like to Eat?

Photo by D Sharon Pruitt I think I could use some more lunch ideas. Leftovers from dinner would be excellent, but they are completely gone. Save me from snacking on almonds and raisins all day.

Whimsical Gothiks

Last week I created some new little ‘whimsical gothiks’ Melanthe and Mister Mistoffelees painted on a small wood panel and Merula’s Raven painted on a small piece of watecolor paper. I think they’re really cute…though a bit though a bit different than my other ‘gothik’ pieces. But then…I guess that’s what I’m all about.

TFP 2010: Tomato gels with the pectin that’s there (part 6)

Jean Yves Wilmot explains his tomato gels to Gene Bervoets Making gels with fruits that are high in pectin is not particularily challenging. Addition of sugar promotes pectin gel formation with low methoxyl (LM) pectin, but the drawback is that you need a lot of sugar, typically around 50%.

Bill Maher Chose Right

One of the reasons I look forward to Fridays in general is that they herald the upcoming weekend, and also because Bill Maher is on HBO at 10 PM. I recorded his last show and finally got time to sit down to watch it a few days ago. His second guest of the night was Chef & Restaurateur Alice Waters .

Don’t Get Stung When Receiving Parcels From Overseas

A lot of people have embraced online shopping and the convenience of buying goods online from the comfort of your own home, getting clothes, movies, almost anything delivered to your door is a great way to shop which many people may have avoided in the past as not everyone enjoys spending a few hours window shopping before they buy one or two things they want. Obviously the internet has opened up a lot more choice and a lot of us have bought goods from abroad, mainly America but some electronic goods have been bought from as far away as…

Dropping In On A Killer Surf Art Blog

For some unexplainable reason, surfing keeps finding its way into my life lately. I dreamt of surfing the other night. The following day, I sat down on the couch after straightening up our kitchen and the show Parenthood was ending by showing one of the show’s fathers sitting on a surfboard and smiling contently as he looked out to sea.

Existential Nonsense

What is the meaning of life ?  Why are we here?  What is the answer to life, the universe , everything?  Have you ever asked yourself these questions?  Quite probably you have.  Whether you were having some kind of crises in your life, or you just like exploring your own inner existentialism, the need to know, or at least feel better, about our existence is one that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time.  At least, I assume it has.  It sure as hell messes with my mind.  You might be thinking that I am going through a crises, since I am obviously thinking about my existence.  Well, I actually do enjoy thinking about my existence, and how it fits in with the big scheme of things.  Do I have any answers?  Of course not.  I don’t believe in definite answers, at least where existence and the meaning of life are concerned. First off I would like to say that, in the big scheme of things, we are nothing.  We are next to nothing.  We aren’t even dust in the wind.  Think about it.  Think about the immensity of the universe, of everything.  Supposedly, in our galaxy, there are two hundred billion stars.  Just in our galaxy.  And speaking of our galaxy, scientists estimate it is about thirty kiloparsecs in diameter and about one kiloparsec thick.  Now one parsec is about 3.262 light years , or 19 trillion miles.  So that would make our galaxy approximately ninety-seven thousand, eight hundred and sixty light years across.  Ok, now, supposedly there are one hundred and twenty-five billion galaxies in the universe.  These numbers are, to me, almost completely unimaginable.  These are expanses that I can scarcely even conceive. And here we are.  On one little planet in one little, microscopic solar system .  To believe that we are all along in the universe, as far as sentient life goes, seems kind of ridiculous when imagining the awesome size of existence.  But unlike other believers in aliens and what not, I don’t really think it has any bearing on us whether there is life out there or not.  If there were aliens and they had the ability to cross vast reaches of space, then they would most likely have technology far in advance of ours that it might as well be magic.  So why would they be interested in the strange, primitive, and mostly harmless creatures that rule over one little tiny speck in a vast vast ocean?  The answer is: they wouldn’t.  They wouldn’t care.  They wouldn’t even slow down to dump their alien trash, assuming they were traveling in a manner where speed is actually relative.  So for all intents and purposes, we are alone.  Left to our own devices.  When we reach a technological level where we have achieved faster-than-light travel , well, then maybe the aliens will stop by, but only to vaporize humanity and leave the earth a lifeless rock
