Tonight's vegan non-gluten homemade dinner -- Mmmmmm...




Quinoa with citrus sauteed vegetables, steamed kale and homemade curried cashew sauce w/sauteed fresh fava beans and tarragon
  1. Open the fridge -- and see what's in there - -and what is in the cupboard -- then start smooshing together -- here's what I found:
  2. Shuck, blanche and shell fava beans, then saute in a little olive oil with some tarragon, salt and pepper -- set aside and can either add to the sauce or for better presentation (which I didn't do) add on top
  3. Add raw Cashews, a little walnut oil and some almond milk in a food processor to make like a gritty cashew butter, then put in a pan and put on low heat -- add water a little @ a time while stirring to get the right consistency -- then add cumin, chile powder and a little curry powder and some soy sauce (or some tamari for no-gluten) and some hot sauce to taste.
  4. Sauté veggies in olive oil (I used minced garlic, thinly sliced onion, julienned carrots and red pepper, small purple and orange cauliflower florets and sliced mushrooms) -- near end of the saute juice a small grapefruit and stir in.
  5. Steam some chopped greens (I used kale and turnip greens)
  6. Prepare some quinoa (read the package)
  7. Then combine :)

A thought I had a while ago

I can't stand it. I can't stand vacuous promises by phony Liberal politicians -- that means you, OBAMA -- that let the US Constitution get shredded -- ala Gitmo -- that abandon the folks who get them elected with platitudes about how their going to put on tennis shoes and walk the picket line, but when the time comes they're nowhere to be found -- see Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Idaho, ad nauseam -- that give away the country to Corporate Plutocrats while 20% of the population is not making it, is out of work and options, and @ least another 30% is desperately struggling to stay afloat.

Nope.  Can't stand it.

Just another Monday

Sometimes I wonder why I care.  Care about the planet, care about people, care about life in general.


After all, there's a significant percentage of Ayn Randians out there who puke all kinds of  short term all-about-me who gives a fuck about the future as I'll be dead anyway rationale for justifying their Narcissistic, selfish and venal behavior.


Why shouldn't I just join them?
