The movie for this week is Sharknado! No, no, I can’t even joke about that. What a purely stupid movie (yes, we watched about 15 minutes of it). Ah, if someone would have told my teen-age self that there will be a channel called the Science Fiction Channel and that I would hate it with a … Continue reading From the Kitchen and bar plus a movie – Schnitzel with panko is like jaegers with kaiju… trust me on this one

What the Boss Likes – meal and a movie again
This weekend we had fajitas again (beef this time, just follow same recipe here maybe adding a little more cayenne) a couple of bottles of wine and watched Django Unchained. First, the movie ROCKS. It does a fantastic job of ridiculing and reviling the slaver culture of the American South. It’s surprisingly funny (oh the … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – meal and a movie again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 2
As I mentioned on the first part of this post, the one thing that the KCA *must* have is an unquestionable beginning to the universe. At the moment, we don’t know if that is the case or not. We have new hypotheses, cyclic universes, brane theory, etc. These may be accurate, partially accurate or really … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 1
For the last few weeks I have been debating with a Christian about the kalam cosmological argument (KCA). This is the philosophical argument that says: Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence; The universe has a beginning of its existence; Therefore: The universe has a cause of its … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 1

From The Kitchen, From the Bar and a movie – Grilled chicken, shandies and Jack the Giant Slayer
This weekend, it being a little cooler than last, we decided to grill. I pulled out a recipe from my latest issue of Saveur Magazine, Gai Yahng or Thai style chicken with sweet chili sauce. It is basically a cilantro and garlic marinade for chicken, which you then grill. I find gas grills to be … Continue reading From The Kitchen, From the Bar and a movie – Grilled chicken, shandies and Jack the Giant Slayer
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended. Yep, Metcalfe is at it again.
Well, there are more amazing attempt to make Pennsylvania a theocracy. Thanks to a friend of mine bringing this to my attention, we now can report on Christians wanting to block free speech because their god will feel bad. Not much of a god if us puny humans can bother a supposedly omniscient, omnipotent and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue wailing, gnashing of teeth
If it hasn’t started already, we can expect much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Predictions of “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria”. All because the prayers of so many TrueChristians have not been heeded by a imaginary deity and they did not get their way. In case you haven’t heard, the Supreme … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue wailing, gnashing of teeth
From the Bar and From the Kitchen – various beers and roast beast
Samuel Smith Strawberry Ale – Samuel Smith, a brewer out of Great Britain, has a line up of fruit beers. This is our last one to try and I’ll have to say all of them are excellent. This one has the intense taste of dried strawberries. There is a lambic tartness and a slight bitter … Continue reading From the Bar and From the Kitchen – various beers and roast beast
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Atheists are citizens too, thanks to FFRF help
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (of which I am proudly a member) has helped a woman in her efforts to become an American citizen. Margaret Doughty was pursuing citizenship through naturalization. She hit a roadblock when the US immigration service tried to claim that she needed to join a church, no other religion was mentioned and she … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Atheists are citizens too, thanks to FFRF help
