Pork tenderloin and morels braised in sherry and finished with cream, fingerling fries and white asparagus with hollandaise. EDIT: Really need new plates and some rings. My presentation sucks. Always had an expo to take care of that.

My version of beer'n'brats- bratwurst and mushrooms in an Old Peculier demi glade with roasted fingerling potatoes.

Some more Phil Ochs: But our land is still troubled by men who have to hate They twist away our freedom & they twist away our fate Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry We can stop them if we try

Some Zizek: Who dares to strike today,when having the security of a permanent job is itself becoming a privilege? The only appropriate stance is unconditional solidarity with all victims. It is the ultimate irony of history that radical individualism serves as the ideological justification of...

"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." Carl Sagan

MY GOD! What a line-up! I've only had a sauternes more than 10 years old once. Like drinking sunshine! And even if one of them vinegared, you can cook up a storm with it. Shouldn't be surprised the Patrician has such vintages. Bastard.

Chicken with morels Mk II, this time in sauternes (the last of it), with asparagus and two cheese crostini (chèvre and gruyere)

There is an entire book of these pics of dogs shaking their heads. Bunch on a website too. More at http://carlidavidsonphotography.com/SHAKE-BOOK/thumbs/

Heh. Have you read last week's SCOTUS decision, Fernandez v California, yet? Messed this up in a big way.

Some more Nagarjuna, my favorite philosopher (and arguably the founder of Mahayana buddhism, certainly of Madhyamaka). An anthill increases by accumulation. Medicine is consumed by distribution. That which is feared lessens by association. This is the thing to understand. Property is unstable...

Anyone who seeks total Enlightenment should discard not only all conceptions of their own selfhood, of other selves, or of a universal self, but they should also discard all notions of the non-existence of such concepts. When the Buddha explains these things using such concepts and ideas, people...

"Those who honestly follow their conscience are of my religion, and mine is that of all brave, good men." - Henry IV of France, in defense of a Jewish friend of his.

Actually, even a self-executing treaty is required, under SCOTUS precedent, to pass Constitutional muster. Hell, there is a case about that very issue pending right now, in this instance in reference to criminal prosecution under the Chemical Weapons treaty. Please read the Reconstruction...

Rumor has it we're FINALLY due for a new Tool album this year or early next year. Taking long enough...

"Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion." That's cute, but historically completely inaccurate. Your edit is far more accurate, and tracks Mussolini's own definition of Fascism. He also defined it as "the willingness to espouse any ideological position to gain and...

A bit decadent - Chicken with morels on a bucheron-topped crostini, sauternes-glazed asparagus, comfit fingerling potatoes.

Uh, the 'states rights' folks lost THE CIVIL WAR. That's what happened. And until recently, I felt it to be good riddance to bad rubbish, as the saying goes. If we can just get rid of the Roberts' court, I'll feel that way again. I'm more interested in what happened to the whole idea of...

I retort with the original. Your post is a cover, you know.

I just posted a Phil Ochs quote over in the Quotes thread. But I remembered how few of my coworkers knew who Pete Seger was when he recently died, and Phil has been gone a lot longer. So gereis some Phil, both for those of us who know and love him, as well as for those who have not encountered...

The great Phil Ochs- Oh I marched to the battle of New Orleans At the end of the early British war The young land started growing The young blood started flowing But I ain't marchin' anymore For I've killed my share of Indians In a thousand different fights I was there at the Little...
