You Can Relax!

You can relax! The father of that little girl in Slumdog Millionaire now claims he was not trying to sell his little girl for $300,000. He also did not say what his current asking price is now that has received so much interest (advertisement) from the press. Evidently Slumdogs don't have Criagslist.

You can relax! While greedy communication conglomerates are trying to bill you every time you access the Internet, your calls and complaints to your elected officials have kept the World Wide Webosphere free for a moderately high monthly service charge. Actually that is an interesting article that describes how we pay for Internet services compared to other nations like Japan.

You can relax! I still hate to eat fishy flavored food! But I recently started making a breaded Tilapia made with a tossed together mix of soy flour, ground flax seed and old bay seasoning. I also toss in a few creole spices. I just set the fish (bought at Wal-Mart and sealed in individual packages) in warm water for a few minutes while I make my dry mix and beat an egg. Then I make like chicken fry. Let me tell you, I do NOT like fish. But I could eat that stuff all day long. One $4 pack of fish will feed four people. I steamed some veggies and served with cottage cheese.

You can relax! This is not going to turn into a cooking blog. It's just that I bough a bag of soy flour and a bag of flax meal nearly a year ago and I felt compelled to use it. Sooooo I tried it out on fish. That way if it was awful, it wouldn't bother me if I ruined it. Turns out... it is KICK ASS!

You can relax! Sure the TV season is winding down, children will be free to roam the streets unsupervised all hours of the day and night as school lets out and the only safe haven you can find is in the house where you face endless reruns. But hey, your old buddy the BLOGGERS keep making new posts every day. Just some of them about are about dinner. Fish dinner.

OK we're all screwed.

Home Sweet Home!

I got in last night. I was so exhausted I sat with the family for a bit then staggered off to bed and fell into a deep and restful sleep. Today I went in early to have Mrs. Cris's car repaired (couldn't fix it) and make a conference call at the office (State Funder lost the Host codes that connect the call) then we loaded up the car and headed back towards Wichita to reunite my parents.

I saw the big white Lincoln pull into the Conoco Travel Plaza where we were to meet, but it passed us and drove around back. I figured maybe there were two giant gas guzzlers out there on I-35. Turns out Dad had taken the time to be polite. His IV antibiotics have been making him sick and he wanted time to empty out his puke cup and rinse away the smell before reuniting with his bride. Yeah, I thought it was pretty freakin romantic too.

Back on the home front, I am not sure I can even make this post. My internet connection is so awful at night I can't seem to accomplish anything. I am considering having all service removed and not having home internet. If all it will do is piss me off, I can do without it.

But man that high speed Wi-Fi at the hospital was really cool... except they blocked you from any website that allowed gambling or porn. SO I didn't actually enjoy my stay. If Satellite was no so damn expensive, I would really consider getting that, but it is nearly $60 a month! Oh well, if you have any suggestions, please let me know. We now have two desk tops, and two lap tops and absolutely no porn because the damn thing is slower than a 56K modem!
