T-day

So i had thanksgiving dinner...it was great...i had kind of lost my appetite by the time dinner rolled around...and ended up puking it all out anyway...oh well. At least i got a couple drinks in and tried everything. Learned about this horrible animal sacrifice in nepal...wow people are really working to end it. really inhumane even though it is a food sacrifice...very inhumane...a lot of places do that animal sacrifice...really inhumane. Trying out my blue cheese that i made from scratch. it tastes blue but real mild...nothing sour or salty. it is pretty good.

thanksgiving

I am super looking forward to thanksgiving...even though i read that the whole pilgrim thing was myth and did not happen...along with joan of arc being a weed head and others...oh well.... Thankfully i dont have to cook and can just eat. i almost wanted to cook/bake when i saw all these obscure nut deserts which looked wonderful and festive(especially since i was in vegarian mode). But making a turkey is so easy if you have an oven and a pan. i wonder what else my hosts are serving. something potato i imagine...other than that i am hopefully going to be surprised.

Steak

So i had a steak and loaded baked potato for dinner with bordelais sause...two glasses of gamay and an ipa for desert. i was quite full afterward but no real food type coma. nice combinations. I love meat but i rarely eat it because i don't like want to kill animals especially since what i have read is that we are in the century of immortality...last century being the century of war. so naturally i am always brainstorming ideas for eternal life...what does that mean...and addressing paradigms that become visible to me. Paradigm one: the steak world/sense pleasures/the matrix Of course meat and potatoes is a great diet...no gluten irritation or dairy irritation of your celia. dense protien...filling carbs...nice sauce...goes well with wine. did the cow die for your pleasures...perhaps...are cows all clones part of the same being...perhaps. Paradigm Two: you are what you eat I just had this really cool dream where the hill sides were being carved out with super green design looking houses made with what looked like some nice white clay rock. there were tons of them being built but they looked really low impact and super well designed...really closely fitted. We were driving really fast so it was pretty fun. i somehow attribute "green" dreams or dreams that seem intelligent to beer drinking because they say beer makes you smarter. so eating cow drinking wheat...do you absorb the soul of these items...does it reflect you culturally...make you dream...organize your thoughts in different/new/clear ways. also if we start using other types of materials for food (lab grown meat, 3d printed food) will we eventually use "light" or "space" to print these things and how will that effect our thinking.

goat

Gee i have eaten so little meat lately but i did have some goat on a pizza...pretty good though tasted more like "sausage" than "meat". Also had some rib on fries with gravy and mushrooms. well again pretty nice...fatty. i wish the gravy was thicker. and sampled some fish and chips...that was the best...really nice fish...thick. then a chicken and biscuits...the biscuits were really good.

fermented greens

So i fermented so wild greens a while back...started them at the end of the summer!! it was a total basic process, i put the greens in a jar with salt and enough water to keep the leaves submerged when pressed. then put another jar(smaller) and screwed the large jar lid on so the small jar would press the leaves down. I left it for a couple weeks then transfered to water filled jar. im not sure how much they fermented but i guess some because they definately softened somewhat. Last night i just chopped them up and put some oil and vinegar on them...really good. I am also making my own blue cheese from a half gallon milk i boiled and added lemon juice to for curdling...mixed in a blue cheese inoculation..pressed it in a mold. now i am aging it for two months for the blue mold to develope. let you know how it is...half month left.

Publishing

I just found all these independant publishers online today...i have a novella size book i want to publish and another one i want to write. i think it would be so cool to be an author full on. Nifty. Also decorated my xmas tree today with all types of dolls and things ive made. And got some stuff from aliexpress in the mail...so freakin cheap. i can find the same item on ali for like half the price i find it for on other online retailer.

egg plant plants

My eggplant plants died so i put some tomato seedlings in the pots. i have all my windowsills filled with plants so i made some hanging macrame type pot hangers...really simply...hung plants from the curtain rod attachment on all my windows. I may do a second level on each but not quite there yet.

back on the blanc

Again having the sauvignon blanc. Gosh i love it. its really chilling down here for the winter. i have just been working on some crochet projects for my shop. i never knew how to crochet but i taught myself and its really quite easy and fun. it opens up a lot of doors with knit projects. I just started this label recently so i have to see if things will sell great then i can get back into production full scale. production can be great lot of work so i wanted to take some time to chill out and enjoy the brand while i get some ideas to toy on for future seasons.

neighbors

one of my neighbors has moved out...they were like number two of three ungents to move out. i feel bad hoping they move but they are just not the right mix. and i think its ok if my life would improve greatly. moreover i think they actually want to move and whether its cause i dont fancy them not too sure.

shiraz

wow love shiraz. its pretty fruity in flavor but has some woody undertones. these flavors are kind of subdued under a peppery flavor.
