Roasted beet with goat cheese is remarkably good. Remarkably.

There was also some spinach involved.

Mmmmm, food.

Is cheese raw? Or can milk products not be raw because they come from an animal?

I had warm flourless chocolate cake last night. Yum. I also had a beet salad that featured pistachio-encrusted goat cheese. Pretty good.

Now I'm hungry. Damn!

Walgreens has just picked up Tims Potato Chips. The jalapeno and sea salt/vinegar (not together, 2 different flavors) are my favorites, but they have just introduced a new flavor - Wasabi.
I really really like them. If you like really spicy chips, get the Wasabi or the jalapeno. They rock.

fwiw, I took this as an sign to get some cake. I am eating it now. Yum. Carrot.

Dissent -- you cannot make a cake out of a vegetable. It is simply impossible. "Carrot cake" is an oxymoron.

You can get raw cheese - generally it is cheese that has not been pasteurized. It may not be readily available - I think some states may not sell it because of alleged health risks.

Further, as the bearer of a not highly popular name (it's actually climbing now, to my amusement), it ain't all it's cracked up to be. Many days in elementary school I wished my name were Jennifer. All the Jennifers in my class were so pretty.

Avoidance of popular names is a topic on which the SFC and I differ. I've never met anyone with my name. The SFC, on the other hand, pretty much always had at least one other boy in his class with the same name. I place a pretty high value on unusualness, the SFC not so much.

And even avoiding the nationally-common is not a guarantee of unusualness, especially in places like Stumptown proper where literacy is above-average and the weird is prized. There are two little boys in our neighborhood named Solomon. And while neither Magnus's real name nor a current leading contender for No. 2's are in the top 1000, friends have friends with kids with those names. Sigh.

Please don't ask about cheese (and or the making thereof). You don't want to know. And Paigow might be tempted to tell you anyway.

Raw foodists do not eat animal products. No dairy whatsoever. Heck, they won't even drink pasteurized juices. No heat can be involved in the process of preparing the food.

No but is it a "raw food." It's my understanding that unpasteurized cheese is illegal in NY, at least. Illegal to bring into the country, too, I think.

I refuse to engage in a cake fight. I am just too full of love right now.

BTW, today is the 1373rd anniversary of Muhammad's death. Dunno if it's a cake event or not.

The appropriate honorific celebration consists of getting drunk, spewing hatred and intolerance of the infidels, killing a few for good measure. Later you should find a 6 year old to marry, but out of respect for the child you should wait until the 1376th anniversary of his death to consummate the relationship, with the understanding that since oral"sex" is not sex you may let the little one suck or lick away, as necessary and desirable.

Raw milk cheeses are legal in the US if they've been aged long enough. There is also an underground market in non-aged raw milk products.

Are the women strong, the men good-looking, and the children above average?

And he looks like a murderer.



On April 25, Gregory Despres arrived at the U.S.-Canadian border crossing at Calais, Maine, carrying a homemade sword, a hatchet, a knife, brass knuckles and a chain saw stained with what appeared to be blood. U.S. customs agents confiscated the weapons and fingerprinted Despres. Then they let him into the United States.

The following day, a gruesome scene was discovered in Despres' hometown of Minto, New Brunswick: The decapitated body of a 74-year-old country musician named Frederick Fulton was found on Fulton's kitchen floor. His head was in a pillowcase under a kitchen table. His common-law wife was discovered stabbed to death in a bedroom.

At a time when the United States is tightening its borders, how could a man toting what appeared to be a bloody chain saw be allowed into the country?

Bill Anthony, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said the Canada-born Despres could not be detained because he is a naturalized U.S. citizen and was not wanted on any criminal charges on the day in question.

"Nobody asked us to detain him," Anthony said. "Being bizarre is not a reason to keep somebody out of this country or lock them up. ... We are governed by laws and regulations, and he did not violate any regulations."

A dude shows up at the border, covered in blood and weilding a bloody chainsaw, and they let him waltz right on in? Homeland security, indeed...
