Unitarian Jihad revisited

I looked this up today so I could send the URL to a co-worker, and just wanted to share this paragraph:

We are Unitarian Jihad, and our motto is: "Sincerity is not enough." We have heard from enough sincere people to last a lifetime already. Just because you believe it's true doesn't make it true. Just because your motives are pure doesn't mean you are not doing harm. Get a dog, or comfort someone in a nursing home, or just feed the birds in the park. Play basketball. Lighten up. The world is not out to get you, except in the sense that the world is out to get everyone.

For that matter, just because the lasagna falls off the fork does not mean that lasagna is evil or possessed.

frozen veggie salvage

I dislike discovering the frozen veggies are somewhat freezer-burned after they're on the stove and the fish is already steaming. So I was pretty pleased at myself for this solution.

Veggies: 1lb bag of ice-encrusted corn, carrots, peas, green beans & lima bean mix, slightly freezer-burned.

To which I added:

• A cup of water to help melt the ice and re-hydrate the veggies.
• A small handful of dehydrated onion to add some flavor.
• Ditto a generous shake of dried minced garlic
• Break up the chunks to speed heating and
• Put the lid on.
• Anything else need doing? Ah yes, jw1776 sliced the rest of the garlic-chunk-and-cracked pepper bread. Add some butter-like stuff and stick under the broiler...
• Meanwhile, the veggies are starting to plump up. So...
• Add some rosemary-herb mix
• 3 slices of American cheese
• Stir til cheese is dissolved.
• Use a bit of corn starch (dissolved in cold water) to thicken the sauce (optional), and...

Tasty veggies to go with the steamed sea bass and garlic toast. Yum!
