all about eggs

Century egg, also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, and thousand-year-old egg, is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice straw for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. After the process is completed, the yolk becomes a dark green, cream-like substance with a strong odor of sulfur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly with little flavor or taste. The transforming agent in century egg is its alkaline material, which gradually raises the pH of egg from around 9 to 12 or more.[1] This chemical process breaks down some of the complex, flavorless proteins and fats, which produces a variety of smaller flavorful compounds.

What am I doing with my life??????

Every two weeks I go through an intense worry session of "What am I doing with my life?". Its annoying and silly, but its like clockwork....two good weeks pass, everythings fine, then suddenly my thoughts and emotions descend into "What am I doing with my life" bi-monthly worry session. Wah.

GUEST PËNZ -- A Conversation After Teeth

Submitted by Bettina Judd

A Conversation After Teeth

What do you think happened?
What makes you think something happened?

She has no teeth. Something must have happened.
What if she just doesn’t have teeth?

No one just doesn’t have teeth. Someone must have hit her.
Like who?

Like, a husband, a boyfriend, a jealous girlfriend or something.
What if she knocked out her own teeth?

That’s ridiculous. No woman would not want her teeth.
What if this woman didn’t?

That’s impossible.
What if she needed to be free?

Needed to be free of what?
Of being a woman with teeth.

That doesn’t make sense.
Take Britney Spears for example…

That’s completely different. That was her hair.
She needed to be free.

No woman would not want her teeth.
It stands to reason…

Knocking out ones teeth is reasonable?
Maybe to her…

That’s insane, no woman would not want her teeth.
What if this woman didn’t? What if she wanted to be free?

What if she didn’t?

Healing Hands image from Silvia Hartman dot com.

Healing, assessed physically, is the process by which the cells in the body regenerate and repair to reduce the size of a damaged or necrotic area. Healing incorporates both the removal of necrotic tissue (demolition), and the replacement of this tissue.

The replacement can happen in two ways:

• by regeneration: the necrotic cells are replaced by the same tissue as was originally there.
• by repair: injured tissue is replaced with scar tissue.

Most organs will heal using a mixture of both mechanisms.

Recipe for Pear Tart

Pears, Peeled
Lemon Juice
Sugar
Water

Boil the pears in water, sugar and lemon juice. They should stay firm. Cool them with the syrup overnight. While you sleep. Resist the urge to eat them over a bowl of vanilla ice cream. And definitely avoid the canned pears. It's just not the same. Although, really, if you'd like you could. Use canned pears, I mean.

Almonds, Blanched
More sugar, but powdered this time
Salt
Flour
Butter
Egg yolk - one

Make the crust by blending the almonds, sugar and salt together until they make a paste, also known as goy oy marzipan. Then add the butter, blend, then the egg, blend and finally the flour. Mix together. Set aside to cool - this is your crust. Or you can buy one.

Almonds, Blanched
MORE SUGAR
Flour
Butter
Egg - one

Yum. Grind the almonds and the flour together. Then add the butter. Then the egg. Chill. And chill. Kick back. Water your plants. Go for a walk. Call a friend. You have three hours - at least - before you can use the stuff.

After you've checked your email for the gazillienth time, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191 degrees Celsius). Roll out your dough, freeze it for 10, then bake it for another 10. Cool crust. Turn oven down 25 degrees F (15 degrees C). Spread out filling, slice pears, lay out. Pretty. Make pretty pear tart. Cook until golden (about an hour).

booooo....hoooo........Scrabulous Barred to North American Users

NEW DELHI — The Calcutta-based brothers who developed the popular online game Scrabulous bowed to legal pressure Tuesday and barred North American users from playing the game on facebook.

The software developers, Rajat and Jayant Aggarwalla, whose adaptation of the board game Scrabble attracts more than half a million players a day on Facebook, said they were forced to pull the game down from the popular social networking site after Facebook received legal notices from Hasbro.

Edgar is a Liar

But he swears he made this video.



Liar. It was a vidresponse to this one by Gore.

But um ... yeah. So I was talking to my BFF in LA and she was all: "Yeah girl I finally made it to the beach last week. It's wild cuz it was the first time I'd been to the beach and normally I would have been to the beach a million times by this late in the summer. It's just really not been very warm here this summer. It was like 100 degrees all during the spring, but the summer ..."

Edgar says, "Hey. We been all over the damned country this summer (Sorry, Dakotas. next time.) and it's like the climate change shit is everywhere evidenced. Maybe it'll break into Night more. But Night is kind of a pussy so ... Yeah Night! Stay your ass in that gym so you can outrun them tsunami waves! Pussy."

So.....

when i was little, and i'd have sleep overs in my parents room (this just meant sleeping on the floor) (and i dont know why we did this), we'd say goodnight to each other, and my mom would always say "g'nite John Boy." It was part of a little routine we had going for a long time, though I never discovered who John Boy is.....

: )

When I was a kid I thought I might marry

Johnny Appleseed.
Or, Because he would probably
be kind of old and gross, maybe
I'd just be him when I grew up.
You know. But me. With apples and seeds.
