Arrgh, I have a cold. What tedious misery. The following is pretty much stream of consciousness nattering. Treat it as you will. Apple Pie moonshine from Old Republic Distillery is very good mixed about half and half with boiling water and with a bit of hot buttered rum “batter” aka equal parts of butter and … Continue reading What the Boss likes – or what she thinks is mildly interesting
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – myth, fact and what should be presented in a magazine about science and history
Just got my latest Smithsonian magazine. I have a particular fondness for this magazine, being one of the first I got when I was a kid in the late 70s. One of the first issues had the shots of Io’s volcanoes from Voyager 1. About a decade later, I got an internship at one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – myth, fact and what should be presented in a magazine about science and history

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity
Recently, we've found that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to being an idiot. Jerry Falwell, Jr., son of failed prophet Jerry Falwell, and head of Liberty University, has said the following: "“It just blows my mind when I see that the president of the United States [says] that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – thanks, Jerry – how a TrueChristian demonstrates the contradictions between Christians and Christianity
From the Kitchen and the Bar – new things to try and a jalapeno appetizer
The Thanksgiving long weekend was a nice quiet one for us. We didn’t do the bird but we did eat a lot of appetizers as our feast. Most of them were from the freezer section of the supermarket, but we did make one from scratch. Fresh jalapenos filled with garden vegetable cream cheese, wrapped in … Continue reading From the Kitchen and the Bar – new things to try and a jalapeno appetizer
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open
It’s a shame what a lot of Americans are advocating now, that we ignore the desperate and do exactly what the Muslim fundamentalists want us to do, be fearful, selfish twits. It is no surprise that it is the Republicans and Tea Party (haven’t heard that term in a while, eh?) who are cowards and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season
The “war on Christmas” has arisen once again. One would think that the TrueChristians™ here in the States would just stop, because every year, there is nothing accomplished but making themselves look like complete idiots. Schadenfreude is always great when someone causes their own problems. Take the Starbucks nonsense for instance… Happily many Christians have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: signs from gods, prayer and decoupage
Theists often claim that they see a “sign” from their god. These claims usually revolve around pareidolia, but occasionally there is a claim of a relic or divinely-touched item. One of these claims is about bible pages on a piece of wreckage from the WTC terrorist disaster (unsurprisingly, the provenance of the item is very … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: signs from gods, prayer and decoupage
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: hmmm, who is lying here?
well, now we have the TrueChristian(tm) Kim Davis and the TrueChristian(tm) Pope Francis and their stories don't quite match. Now, who is to be believed? Update: How interesting, the pope met with a gay couple before he met Davis. Hmmm. and more curious, some possible machinations and conspiracies with an arch bishop in the crosshairs.
From the Bar and a little from the kitchen – more beer, wine and cider, plus a redux of food we’ve made before
Wow, the Exodus movie really sucks. Not just from the silly plot but from the cinematography to the costuming, etc. Happily, I only saw a bit of it on HBO for free. It’s of that “everyone is filthy for no reason at all” genre. We’ve tried some new beers, ciders and wines. In amongst this, … Continue reading From the Bar and a little from the kitchen – more beer, wine and cider, plus a redux of food we’ve made before
