soapbox

When the weather gets like this, all chilly and rainy, it always gets me in the mood for some comfort food, Southern-style.

So, last night I found myself making some grits and eggs for supper. Mighty fine indeed.

Since grits and eggs is such a basic combination, the flavor of the eggs used is really important. I’ve found that the organic “Pete and Gerry’s” brand eggs you can find around here are about the closest thing to an honest-to-goodness farm fresh egg that comes from a hen you’ve personally met, short of the actual thing, so I like frying up a couple of those to go in my big bowl of grits.

As Chef Paul would put it: “That’s good cookin’, good eatin’ and good lovin’!”

I tell you fer sure.

Here is a thought that has been lingering in my thoughts for a good week now….Isn’t it odd and kind of frustrating that once you leave a place/location where you have spent a significant amount of time and go back at a later time it is never the same as when you left it? It’s like in Q.M. when you make a measurement you disturb the system and therefore can not know everything about that system. When you stay in a place for a while and feel like you know and understand your surroudings is this like making a measurement? When in fact you do not know everything about your surroundings as it will change when you leave that place and thus stop taking your measurement.

…if you’ll permit “big guns” to include the Smurfs in it’s definition.

The Belgian arm of Unicef really ain’t pulling any punches with this one.

Twisted, man, but highly effective.

This is just a general announcement, hoping that peer pressure will get you to post.

Oh, and apparently you should water azaleas weekly or so, but since they have small fibrous roots it’s easy to waterlog them.

The best approach is to water azaleas deeply and infrequently rather than applying water often and in small amounts. Young plants with smaller root structures are more likely to need additonal water.

This looks like it could be really good, or really boring. It’s about the CBS news crew that stood up to Sen. Joe McCarthy in the 1950s. I think I’ll probably see it when it comes to a local theater.
