thanks, Martha, for these Bread Spreads.
Creamy butter and sweet preserves are meant to be together,
but they’re usually not united until they hit the toast.
Blended together and cut into colorful little pats, they
spread on in one neat layer: Combine 1 stick of softened
unsalted butter and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of
best-quality jam or preserves; combine thoroughly with
a rubber spatula. Wrap in parchment paper, forming an
even cylinder; tie ends. Keep refrigerated for up to 2
weeks, or frozen for up to a month. Slice off pats;
serve with toast, muffins, or pancakes.

Irish Risotto
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
2 cups McCann’s Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal
3 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
1/4 cup minced shallots
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
5-6 cups hot strong unsalted defatted chicken or beef broth
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper to taste
pinch saffron for color (optional)
Preparation
Heat olive oil in heavy saucepan over medium high heat.
When hot, add shallots and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes.
Stir in the oats and sauté for about 5 minutes or until oats
are glistening. Begin by adding the hot broth 1/2 cup
at a time (and saffron if used), stirring continuously,
until each 1/2 cup has been absorbed. When oats have
absorbed enough broth to be a rich, creamy texture with
a bit of bite left, remove from heat. Stir in parsley,
lemon juice, cheese, salt and pepper.
Serve hot.
Sorry, Kris...this is not about you personally, but it got brought up today.
I am a feminist, and I played with Barbies. Not because that's what girls SHOULD play with, and not because she represendted my ideal of beauty, but because I wanted to play with her. I wanted to make up stories about her, and dress her up, and will finish this later, post in sommerdai?
i love the fact that i'm at work, working, and carrying on two simultaneous chat converstations.

Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical.
They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest...
Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily,
but someone who's extremely loyal to the friends you do make,
and who expects the same loyalty in return.
Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake the trust in yourfriends,
but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

I have been experiencing major blog and other technical difficulties.
Incredibly slow updating is making me annoyed.
Things don't show up when and where I want them to, and I cannot
get the archiving to work properly. It's driving me nuts. sigh.
I'm working on getting more links and quizzes of mine up on this other
page, but who knows when that will be finished. I'm feeling a little
negative and nuts today, so who knows.
You are the most universal mythical beast ever. Sightings of the unicorn have been reported from all over the world, even in these modern times. Unicorns are pure and incurruptible. In China, unicorns symbolised gentleness, good will, and wisdom. Christianity links the unicorn with Christ. It is said that unicorns would only allow virgin girls to see them, let alone touch them. They were easily lured into fatal ambushes by a virgin with some potchers waiting for the unicorn in nearby bushes. A unicorn's horn was a highly prised possesion, which was reputed to have great healing capabilities. With the touch of its horn, a unicorn could bring back a person who had been dead for several hours. But when disattached from the unicorn's body, the magic was suggnificantly reduced and could only protect against poison. The unicorn had the body of a horse, a unique spirling horn, and a lion's ta!
il. They were pure white in color. Congradulations, you are a rarity amoung mythical beasts. There aren't enough of people like you in the world.

 If I lived in Middle-Earth, it would be in: Lothlorien or Rivendell You prefer the tranquilty and peacefulness of nature and enjoy the milder seasons of the year. While you know it is necessary to keep in contact with other living beings, most of the time you enjoy the seclusion of an aesthetically pleasing, woodland environment.

Tall, powerful, and the darkest of the dark. You've got armies, fleets, and the dark side of the Force wrapped around your little finger, but you still have a soft spot for that little wuss you call "son." How sweet.

scariness for the day invovles...furries.
I didn't quite realize what they were before,
and I didn't quite realize that a lot of people
I had known fell into that category.
scary. Must do eerily interesting
research later...much like that weirdness involving
fan fiction earlier this year.
