cup holder

dude, I know this has been said before,

but choose a leader for your country base on issue like abortion is like buying a car that is unreliable, gets bad gas milage, handles poorly has a cracked windshield, over priced ... because it is got one more cup holder compare to something that is the opposite of that piece shit.

toronto island

went to toronto island for the first time yesterday, we all know the great lakes are big, but when you are standing at this beach on I think the south side of the island, it really feels like you are looking at the open sea.

the island is close, so the ferry ride is short, the sunset view from the returning ferry reminded me a lot of being on a ferry in puget sound heading towards the city of seattle.

I wonder if they allow camping on the island, I think that would be sweet.

tasty bird

I have been eating pork all week, so I decided this weekend will be seafood or poultry. I ate popeye's on friday night, then I saw these plump cornish hens at st.Lawrence market on saturday, I hesitated a little, because they were expensive, but it has been a long time since I have roasted a whole bird, so what the hell.

I found this recipe in anne willan's recent book on french county cooking, you basically roast the bird with cream and mustard all over it, call me ignorant, but it is something I have not heard before, so I was like, what the hell, let's try it.

I was pretty happy with the result, although breast meat on the bird itself was a little disappointing, I didn't overcook it, it was just sort of loose, and lack taste. the sauce made from the pan juice with a little wine (it called for red wine) was the most interesting part, you get a dark rich sauce that is redolent with creamy flavor, not surprising, but still intriguing.

oh, I had to put a little bacon in the corn side dish, no one gets tired of fat from pigs.

tina fey for vp part III

this blog has never really had a focus, it started with trying to make people not drink warm soda, but for the two or three people (that figure has not been confirmed) who actually read it regularly, I basically rant about anything I feel like.

now I am fascinated and mortified by this palin woman. I was traveling when rumors were going around about her infant son, so I didn't get much of the detail until now. But how is it not suspicious while the governor was supposedly pregnant with this baby, her daughter Bristol (who is now pregnant, again) was pull out of school for like 5 months for 'mono'. Plus pictures of the governor during her pregnancy show no sign of a belly. Shit, I am not from alaska, but I know what rotten fish smells like.

I agree that family matter is private and should be kept that way even for public figures, but if the baby was indeed Bristol's and not tina fey's, then it is clear that someone is lying and covering up for somebody. What does that say about this woman, and her values and integrity and all that shit? does it make you feel okay that she will be the commander in chief when the old guy couldn't hold it down no more (well, if he gets elected).

I feel a chill running down my spine.

tina fey for vp part II

oh dude, I just listened to part of palin's speech at the white people only convention, she sounds just like tina fey too; you know, she is telling a story and trying to make people laugh and cheer, as a actor/comedian would. The sad part, she wasn't trying to be funny, and she probably believe the bullshit she was telling. scary times.

tina fey for vp

is it just me or dose this Palin woman from alaska looks a lot like tina fey. I don't watch any tv anymore, but I bet a Saturday night live skit with the comedian as the republican vp hopeful would be pretty sweet.

smoking sumo

while japan is trying to figure out who will be its next prime minister, another news rocked that country in recent days. Two russian sumo wrestlers were tested positive for marijuana and another was arrested for possession. Can you blame those dudes? I mean, to work up the appetite to eat yourself to 500 lb is not the easiest thing in the world, I am surprised not all those dudes smoke that shit. If I had taken a break and smoke a joint (not that I would ever do anything illegal) during my meal at au pied de cochon, I would have finished that pig's foot.
