Thanksgiving was quiet for us. I got a chicken, roasted it per usual and we just sat around eating, drinking, listening to music and talking. I know, crazy a married couple talking for hours 🙂 We were to have a big snowstorm on the preceding Wednesday (4-8 inches which became, oh, enough snow to whiten … Continue reading From the Kitchen – hey, I actually used something I put in the freezer to use “later”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My thoughts on the Ferguson incidents
The internet is abuzz the Ferguson shooting. It seems that some people are a bit confused on what happened, and are willing to just say “well, of course the white guy got off.” Or that “of course the black people rioted and harmed people who did nothing to them.” These are my thoughts, just to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My thoughts on the Ferguson incidents
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – science proves Chrisitanity is true? Oh do tell.
I’ve recently run into a Christian named Diana Lesperance. She is the classic evangelical Christian, creationist, and sure that her version of Christian is the only “right” one. She’s written a book “The Narrow Way: biblical and historical proof that God is Great” as a response to Chris Hitchens's book. That book must be quite … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – science proves Chrisitanity is true? Oh do tell.
From the Kitchen – how things don’t quite work out like you might hope
This weekend we decided we needed to make something new. My husband suggested that we wrap meat around “something”. We narrowed that down to pork and the something to be a mix of cheeses and various flavorings.

From the Back Room: Finally, back to brewing – Northern Brewer’s Assaazin

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I get more fan mail or “someone sent me a million dollar bill”

Not So Polite Dinner Converation – nothing says divine love like deadly diseases
Someone else has to have already done something like this, but here's my version of the ebola virus and the creation painting by Michelangelo. When reality is contrasted to what many theists claim.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Did you miss the social anarchy? Cal Thomas and the usual deceit by Christian conservatives
Seems like we have a wealth of less than true comments here in the news from conservative Christians. Here in the US, the Supreme Court has essentially abdicated its responsibility and has left a series of lower court decisions to stand when it comes to the legality of same sex marriage. They have let the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Did you miss the social anarchy? Cal Thomas and the usual deceit by Christian conservatives

A research report “Morality in Everyday Life” was featured in the September 2014 issue of Science (this is just the abstract, there’s a fee to read it in its entirety). This research demonstrated that religious people and non-religious people did not differ in the number of moral acts that they did And of course, this … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Study has evidence that religion does not make one more moral.
