    Dishes Best Served Cold

    Curry. Any kind. The spicier the better. The rice gets a little coarse, but the curry tastes better to me cold. <br /><br />How come no one has mentioned <span class="st">Ceviche yet? The Shrimpo de Gallo recipe made me think of it since civiche is just pico de gallo with extra lime and raw...

    Trip from WA to SoDak

    speaking of truck lights.. Here is something to never do. Never pull into a rest area in the middle of the night on a long trip home to Oregon from New Orleans with your wife sleeping soundly in the passenger's seat, and park right in front of an idling semi with it's lights on so that it's...

    Who Moved My Cheese?

    Sadly, lots of books can be twisted to suit some jerk's agenda. Take the bible, for instance.

    Hey everyone

    Welcome Justa. You are in good company. I come here whenever I wonder if what I'm doing is the right thing or not. The hardest part, since I have no SS income yet, is contemplating what I'm going to do when the current gig is up, but so far something always comes along. Right now I'm planning on...

    Who Moved My Cheese?

    If you haven't already, I highly recommend this short story:<br />http://www.magnacad.com/printables/whomovedmycheese.pdf<br />I found it when I first started researching the idea of living in my van, so there may already be a link to it here somewhere, but I thought I'd bring it up, just in...

    Living Closer to the Ground

    I've seen heavy thunder in Denver and in Florida, but NOTHING compares to last night's fiasco. It seemed like a solid hour of constant thunder and lightening, a quick break, then another hour, coupled with some really far out dreams when I caught sleep between the storm systems passing through...

    Living Closer to the Ground

    &nbsp; I think we just might take over. It turns out my new supervisor is one of us as well. Small world.<br />&nbsp; I'm having my first day off. The altitude did a number on me the last couple days, making me more tired than I'm used to, and despite my best efforts, I managed to get a sun burn...

    Vulnerability

    Her next talk poses that vulnerability is not weakness. She defines it as the emotional risk, exposure, and uncertainty that fuels our daily lives and that it is our most accurate measurement of courage. She goes on to state that vulnerability is the birthplace of creativity, innovation, and change.

    <br /><br />Well, I'll try. If you get the opportunity please try to watch from a computer because I can't tell her story anywhere near as well as she can.<br /><br />&nbsp; Brene is a social worker who started her ten year research on vulnerability by studying connection and our ability to feel...
