Anyway high tech -- delegates at Texas instead of dealing with -- high taxes and massive regulations and a silicon valley California.
He -- Samsung has invested four billion bucks at a factory in Texas.
A state with let's say you're very low taxes almost no regulations and a right to work law the prevents employers from forcing their workers.
To join unions tech expert -- and -- says.
Smart got money sends ago to the best business environment I guess than in this case bubbles so the cheaper -- what do you make us.
Yachts I mean that's the case is the gone someplace where -- it's cheaper mean these companies as we go through what what looks like a recovery yen.
Are looking for a place to be -- -- to do business that is the most financially effective for them and having government not on their back having having government not surprise them whatever more taxes I'm not only means that they can do more for less.
But it means that workers their hiring can also do more fair -- so Texas is pretty cheap to live in as well.
On Texas has been doing this a lot with a lot of companies.
And yet you know from from major food chains to -- -- have been.
Today I know what attracts the jobs but did you always wonder at what cost and -- the -- Florida.
Governor the Texas governor is little battled says disorder outbid each other to woo employers succumbed to their states but what is the limit what is the price would you say.
It's not worth it.
Well certainly if you're bringing folks any not getting a return on that business that I mean major plant sites like Samsung.
Those are fab is they don't move easily so it's not going to be on a -- if you're bringing in businesses.
That your -- it big in businesses that are mostly just people -- not a lot of time.
Equipment so the next state can be due out the next cycle that's probably not a good way to do what you really want a bid for -- -- -- once they come and we'll be very hard to leave so it's a sustainable revenue source.
A sustainable.
Source of jobs -- don't end up like well like Ireland kind of ended up where they have a lot of businesses and they ended up of a lot of vacant -- factories on that.
When the incentives moved to another country think Poland was next summed up so.
Oh wait wait yeah hello you'll -- very big business.
Bright you know -- -- Obama were to have the highest corporate taxes if rates go up when they don't -- identity -- will be higher still.
Obviously that's -- -- -- -- business growth.
But they are you bid for companies still coming here is that by comparison even went higher rates in Japan and France -- That Dalia.
They stink that there are no the US and -- no draw we are the draw and -- worth the price.
Is that does that make Wednesday.
When you you can sometimes argue that a kind of depends on the -- on the region certainly China's having a lot of issues right now what pollution.
Which is which is make it hard for families to one moved army and aggregate people moving into China for jobs and -- up from -- lot.
For little money and -- even the workers they're bringing in from the farms want to move back.
Now so that so it that has proven not to be a great place to work and and employees do have a choice of a -- -- -- -- but it out with education.
That replaces the world where you can get better education here -- A lot of these are elements that core benefits the kind of quality of life can actually better and other places of the world as well.
What's kind of nice though for us is we still have -- awful lot of the old talent and -- -- and people just don't relocate all that easily.
And much more likely want to rely.
I'm -- -- stimulus but nobody does that -- this -- you know you're right but.
I think if bottle boss and I'm trying to -- -- workers tellem like -- -- use to.
On one location let's say here in California -- -- -- and we're gonna move you to Texas I don't Simpson is starting -- -- uphold our press.
But now I would be the boss saying look even if I don't give you a nickel more.
You don't you're you're gonna go from -- and 8% state tax to paying 0% statements is just got an 8% raise move.
That's a compelling -- better -- Because the housing prices are quite -- floor of the house you've got -- California which might via an apartment you can actually get on a state so -- it's up by housing prices are very different enough.
And Texas now you lose the weather.
Which is one of the things -- you're gonna you're gonna have to make up but but you do get a lot more and money and increasingly a lot of a lot of your peers are gonna be their -- for the jobs are gonna be going forward think you have to consider a lot of that stuff.
Well put Bob oyster -- him -- -- in Mountain View California.
Until he goes to Texas.

7 Signs You Definitely Have a Crush on that Person
Oh gosh, I can remember being 13 years old and having a hard crush on the popular boy in the grade above me in school. I was far too shy to really ever make anything of it, but I can still recall those awkward situations that came up when I realized I had a crush. It's not something that only happens in early teenage life though. If you're single and you've just met someone for the first time, or maybe not even personally met, there are signs that you've developed a crush that may not be evident to you, but they are to us. And it's totally cute, for the most part. Click through for 7 signs you definitely have a crush on that person! -By Devan McGuinness

As part of its ongoing open consultation, Nominet Trust brought together a group of experts this past week to think about how technology might be used to realise new opportunities - and address the persistent challenges such as social isolation, access to adequate care and pensioner poverty – facing people in later life. We weren't looking at how adding digital might make existing services more cost-effective or efficient; nor were we seeking specific solutions. Instead we were hoping to define some areas that would benefit from social innovation with technology.

For today's blog I thought I'd take a step back and consider some of the ethical imperative for studying the digital divide.

Sometimes, we take it as a given that such divides must be addressed, that we know what the divide is, and that we know how to address the divides – we just, close them. more >
There are about 9.7 million people, 16% of the entire UK population, aged 65 and over. This figure is set to rise by 2033 to about 16.4 million people, or 23% of the population. And for those interested in longer term predictions, it is projected that by 2083, one in three people in the UK will be over the age of 60.
These descriptions represent a significant number of people and although it is useful to use terms like 'ageing population' or even 'older people' to represent the shift in the demographic make-up of the UK (and indeed the wider world), it belies an incredibly diverse group. The over-55 population can describe a difference of up to 50 years' life experience between those in early older age and those in late old age; it can describe people in good health and poor health; those who are physically or socially isolated or those living with, or supported by families; those who are digitally connected, and those who are digitally excluded. more >

Staying on the Air
The First Radio Parish Church of America learns people are listening.
In 1926 commercial radio was still such a new invention that Maine country boys were listening to local stations on homemade crystal radios built from a piece of quartz and some wire wrapped around a nail. On February 26 of that year, some of them heard the Reverend Howard O. Hough give the initial broadcast of the First Radio Parish Church of America over a fledgling radio station, WCSH-AM, broadcasting from the top of the Eastland Hotel in Portland.
Hough's nonsectarian homilies were the birth of what is now the oldest broadcast church in the nation. Each morning at 6:15 the Reverend Peter Panagore, the church's fifth pastor in eighty-two years, gives a two-minute talk of hope, reflection, and encouragement, ending with a brief prayer, on WCSH television (Channel 6) and its sister station in Bangor, WLBZ (Channel 2), as well as on the radio and the Internet (www.dailydevotions.org [1]). The broadcasts still honor the promise of the original owner, Henry Rines, to give the church free airtime, a contribution Panagore estimates is worth a million dollars a year.
But the electronic church that survived the Great Depression of the 1930s was tottering late last year as the faltering economy and personal illness threatened its major funding source, an anonymous donor who had underwritten as much as 60 percent of the church's $120,000 annual budget.
Panagore says the church's future was seriously in doubt, despite his best efforts to raise money through grants or business contributions. Making a public appeal for donations went against eight decades of church tradition.
"We'd never done it. My predecessor had said don't ever do it," Panagore explains. "So I went to my board, and they said, 'What have we got to lose?' "
Panagore broadcast five shows explaining what was happening and how listeners could help. "So far, we've increased our online donor base to 455 people, compared to the thirty we had before," he reports. "Letters have flowed in with checks. I don't know how much we've received in total yet, but I believe that because of the response of our viewership we're going to stay on the air."
Panagore describes himself as stunned at the support. "One of the things I don't have the opportunity to see clearly is who our audience is," he notes. "It's not like standing in a pulpit and looking out over your congregation." Now Panagore knows a lot of people are looking back, and they like what they see. And the country's oldest electronic church will stay on the air for a good while to come.
Wired Maine
Burying power lines could be stimulating.
Almost every severe storm these days is accompanied by news stories of power outages around the state, such as the ice storm in December that left some Mainers without electricity for a week before repair crews arrived. Having a generator stashed in the garage has become second nature, and many homeowners keep some form of nonelectric backup heat, such as a woodstove, on hand just in case.
The outages are inevitable in a state where almost all the power lines are strung from tall wooden poles. Trees and branches fall on the wires, ice builds up on them, high winds twist them back and forth. Which raises the inevitable question — why run power lines out in the open at all? European countries routinely bury their electric lines. Why can't Maine?
"Generally because it's very costly," explains Gail Rice, spokesperson for Central Maine Power. Burying power lines costs about ten times as much as running them on poles — about a million dollars a mile, according to a study by the Edison Electric Institute. And Maine's granite substructure doesn't make the job any easier, Rice adds. "Maine has so much ledge just below the surface," she points out. Burying the lines would take a lot of digging and blasting and even more money to get below the frost line.
Obviously what the project needs is an economic stimulus, and the new president might be just the person to ask about it. President Barack Obama has said he's looking for "shovel-ready" infrastructure improvement projects. Maybe Maine has one in the pipeline, so to speak.
Shell Shocked
How common were lobsters before Columbus?
The shell heaps known as middens dot the Maine coast, remnants of long ago oyster feasts by our state's original Native American inhabitants. Archaeologists love them, because the alkaline environment created by the shells helps preserve other artifacts that otherwise would quickly disappear in Maine's acidic soil and harsh climate, such as pottery and animal and fish bones thrown onto what were essentially trash heaps. (A Viking penny turned up in a midden in Brooklin in 1957.) The middens provide a window into the lives of Maine natives dating back five millennia.
Yet the middens are also interesting for what isn't found there — lobster shells. "I've looked at a lot of shell middens and haven't seen them," notes Brian Robinson, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Maine. Nor are crab shells commonly found either, he adds. "The only crab shell remains I know of have been charred in a fire," he says.
Arthur Spiess, the senior archaeologist at the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, compares the shells to fingernails. "They're protein, and they rot away very quickly," Spiess explains. "The only exception is if they're burned, and we have recovered fragments from hearth areas."
But the fragments are rare, and they raise the question of how common lobsters were along the coast before European settlement. Some marine biologists argue that the surge in lobster catches over the past couple of decades is tied directly to the loss of stocks of predators like cod and haddock. Was the abundance of lobsters that early colonists found when they arrived linked to the heavy fishing along the coast that preceded them?
Certainly Indians harvested more than oysters from the shore and the Gulf of Maine. The middens have preserved abundant seal bones, fish remains, and even fish scales. "So we know something was going on," Robinson says, adding that even the sites that have yielded relatively fragile fish scales don't have lobster or crab shells.
Spiess says Indians were known to harvest lobsters for consumption. "We have great ethnographic accounts of Native Americans picking them up along the shore," he notes.
Shell heaps research continues to offer insights into Maine's past. Although the vast majority are less than three thousand years old, the oldest middens in Maine date back about five thousand years, Robinson says. Older ones, he explains, "were almost certainly covered with water" as shorelines shifted and water levels rose at the end of the last Ice Age. So even if lobster shells aren't buried in them, contemporary crustaceans may be living on top of them.
One Mainer to Another
"We left the city with three objectives in mind. The first was economic. We sought to make a depression-free living, as independent as possible of the commodity and labor markets, which could not be interfered with by employers, whether businessmen, politicians, or educational administrators. Our second aim was hygienic. We wanted to maintain and improve our health. We knew that the pressures of city life were exacting, and we sought a simple basis of well-being where contact with the earth, and home-grown organic food, would play a large part.
Our third objective was social and ethical. We decided to liberate and disassociate, as much as possible, from the cruder forms of exploitation: the plunder of the planet; the slavery of man and beast; the slaughter of men in war, and of animals for food . . . ."
—Scott and Helen Nearing,
Living the Good Life, 1970
Public Good
How come Maine doesn't have any for-profit hospitals?
Anyone looking at healthcare in Maine would be struck by a peculiar fact: Maine is one of the handful of states that do not have privately owned, for-profit hospitals. All thirty-nine of the state's medical centers are nonprofits. Steven Michaud, president of the Maine Hospital Association, says the answer is simple. For-profit hospitals need to make a profit, and that's tough to do in Maine.
"We don't have the critical mass [of population] necessary to put one of those hospitals in and make money," Michaud explains. "And second, the regulatory and payment environments here are very poor. If you're in the business to make money with a hospital, Maine is a tough place to do that."
Michaud could recall only one tentative attempt at establishing a for-profit hospital in the state in recent years. "Back in the late 1990s, Columbia/HCA talked about expanding to all fifty states," he says. "That never happened, and it doesn't seem likely now."
Sunny Side Up
A Portland dairy shows good solar sense.
Bill Bennett, president of the family-owned Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, is feeling pretty prescient these days. Two years ago, when he signed a contract with Ascendant Energy, of Rockland, to install two hundred thousand dollars worth of solar hot-water panels on the roof of his plant, he was paying $1.89 a gallon for heating oil at his Forest Avenue facility. Today, with prices nearing three dollars a gallon, "Our payback has gotten a lot quicker," he notes wryly.
The installation is the most obvious example of a new attitude that Maine businesses are showing toward alternate energy proposals, and it's no surprise that Oakhurst would be among the leaders. Its delivery trucks burn biofuel, and its car fleet already includes several gas-electric hybrids. "We try to be as green as possible," says Bennett. "Besides, we've got a lot of real estate up there on the roofs of these buildings. We may as well put it to use."
Kurt Penney, of Ascendant Energy, says the 2,700 square feet of solar collectors should save 4,500 to 5,000 gallons of heating oil a year while providing hot water for the plant's case washer and its domestic hot water system. An associated wastewater heat-recovery system will save another 2,500 gallons. Penney says the panels circulate food-grade glycol through a heat exchanger to heat the water. The glycol allows the panels to keep working through the winter.
The solar panels have a design life of forty years, so even if it takes ten years to pay back the initial investment, "it's free hot water for at least thirty years," says Bennett. He says some of his business colleagues worry about the long payback times. "That thinking has been changing in the last year or two," he adds. "This project is starting to turn heads, and that was one of the results we hoped for. Besides, it's the right thing to do."
Indeed, it's hard to find anything wrong with saving money, reducing oil consumption, and helping the environment all at the same time. You might almost say it does a (milk) business good.

From the time I was a child of 8 years old or young depending on your perspective, my Dad helped build the platform and then and my brother and I began a journey of building something very special to us, a tree house in our backyard. Uncle Ed drew up the plans (since he was an Architect) and we took our allowance to the hardware store, buying nails etc. and working on the tree-house every chance we could. We enjoyed building and changing our tree-house for years to come. At the age of 14 I took woodshop class at my High School and I was hooked. I saved up enough money to outfit a small woodworking area in the basement. From there I tried several different jobs and nothing seemed to fit me like woodworking did. After all there was danger, excitement of seeing a project come together and the enjoyment of project completion. There was a sense of fulfillment in doing this wood-work. After all both of my Grandfathers were carpenters/cabinet-makers, it could be in my blood or simply part of my DNA.
While serving in the US Military I enjoyed learning more in Civil Engineering, from construction management to driving large loaders to 10 ton snow plows. After serving for 22 years I retired from the service in 2008. I kept current in woodworking, while in the military by having a few woodworking tools, building solid wood furniture etc. and doing laminate and wood flooring installations, installing baseboard and quarter-round to complete the job. I became a Master Installer doing inlays and inserts in laminate and wood flooring. In May of 2005 I crushed a disc in my low back and could no longer install flooring, so I continued my carpentry career by opening a cabinet shop, this I could do standing. Starting with almost nothing and very little money; one builder, I'd been working with decided to give me a chance on a cabinet job. After completing the cabinet job of 40 cabinets, he said he was pleased and on and on the work came in.
We always try to help where we can and give cabinets or labor or both to non-profit organizations that do good in our area. We've given cabinets to Churches, Shelters, Food Pantries and schools. We've also helped disabled and elderly people with roll-outs and drop down cabinets for easy access. We believe in doing good where we've been gifted and where it's needed for the right benefit organizations. We also believe in the "teaching a person to fish" effect in what we do and support.
I've also spent some time working in the aviation cabinet building and installation area for a couple of different companies. So if you are looking for someone who believes what they do is important and has been trained in doing high quality work. Then we may be the right people for you and your project. After all some would say our inspirations for their projects were right on the money. We do small jobs to large jobs and are outfitted for quality work. We stand ready to assist you in your projects. Give us a call at 501-605-7208.

Could it be he's just bored and making his own fun? I'd personally crack down hard on his freedom until he stops being a goober head, all dogs have their moments but there are some things you just can't tolerate for safety reasons. I allow Delgado to only play with one cat because that particular cat is smart and feisty enough to say enough when he's had enough but I still keep an eye on the play and stop when needed. |

What? He was born in 2007 and now is showing prey drive? Sounds a bit weird to me. Sure he's not just playing? That's ok, though with smaller cats and a terrier you need to be there to step in to make sure it stays to a dull roars and no one accidentally gets hurt. If you really see it a 'prey' drive the point of that is to KILL. So I'd be on that with zero tolerance. Frankly, you just need to be vigilant and use your 'leave it' command before it starts up. If this is new and different you may just also change up your life for a bit. Join some fun dog classes. Get a kayak you can take your dog for rides in. Find places to go hiking. Get some dog friends more appropriately sized and go for dog play dates/walks. More rousing games of Chuckit in a huge field. Alot of time being proactive and managing my dogs away from an issue works much better than corrections and punishments with a new issue. Get those dogs tired out and not caring about their new annoying bad habit. |

Having a problem with Harley lately Lately Harley has been showing alittle more prey drive, I guess you would say. He is constantly pesting the cats, chasing them, he puts their heads in his mouth. I always correct him and put him in a down position. He also seems to have an issue with our chi/fox terrier male who is 3. He is always after him, will chase him and he will wait for him at the door when they are outside so Nacho will hide till I make Harley go in. We just moved in May and I thought he adjusted well to that. This behavior is only in the last month. Any suggestions of what might be going on? |

I have made this portable stove as a source of heating for inside my canvas bell tent, it should be ideal for winter camping when temperatures drop below zero. Also, I just thought it would be a fun thing to make...
People have made such stoves in many different ways. They are mostly used in colder climates like Canada and Scandinavia. The following article shows my own design, bear in mind that this is the first stove I have ever made, I am not an expert where stove use and design is concerned so the design may not necessarily be the best.

I cant put into words how satisfying it feels to step into and paddle a canoe I have made. All I can say is that it gave me a very warm feeling of achievement. Canoeing is the nearest thing to physical poetry that I know and is good for the spirit...

Rob Exton Concluded that... "This is a great way to spend a Sunday, in the middle of the country (Meriden is not far away), so many of you are within striking distance for a day trip. Jonathan is a delightful young man who is patient, calm and very skilled. He is a clear teacher and enabler who deserves to do well in his chosen way of life. Mostly though, I must recommend this course for its sheer value for money. At £55 including tea and coffee it has to be one of the best value courses in the country."

Click here to see the full story as it unfolds...
After all the fun and enjoyment I've had out of my last two skin on frame canoes, I have decided to build another one, this time it will be a two man canoe in the same Canadian style that I like so much. There are no plans for the canoe I am building, all I know is that I want it to be around 4.5 meters long and about 90cm wide at the centre Most of the jobs will just be done by eye.
This is not a canoe made from 100% wild materials like a birch bark canoe, but a mix of traditional wood working skills, some cotton canvas and even a few wood screws. The emphasis for me is always on doing a proper job, speed is not the essence. I am always reluctant to use power tools as I feel mistakes can be made quickly with such hasty devices. Hand tools fit better with my calm and patient nature anyway.
The first job was to rip cut along the length to cut off two laths suitable for Gunnels. This job could be done with a circular saw but I am quite stubborn and don't like to use power tools all that much :-)
Using a Shave horse and Draw Kinfe I then worked the two gunnels down to final dimensions which is about 20mm x 55mm. I then made a gradual taper towards the ends shaving it down to about 3cm high with no change to the width.
Now it was time to steam bent these tapered ends upwards which will give my canoe some nice curves (known as Indian ends). I am using quite a simple but effective method to steam the wood. Firstly I wrap the wood in Hessian material, then give it a good soaking and finally wrap it up in tin foil. Then I cook the wood over the fire like a fish. The wood doesn't burn if the material is wet enough.
Click here to read more...
The rest of the work to do included: -Chiselling out a rectangular slot hole through which I could secure the bindings -Carving the decorative ends in a traditional Swedish style - Applying pure Pine tar with a brush (made by 'Bickmores' as a horse hoof treatment, and purchased from the 'horse health' website) -heating the tar and wood with a blow torch as it is applied helps to make it go into the wood better. Excess tar is rubbed off with a rag. -Applying Bees wax to the undersides to make the skis glide better (without the tar and wax; snow would stick and clog the skis up. -The final job was to then weave the Willow to make the bindings, these will ensure my feet are securely fastened to the skis. The Willow is soaked and twisted like a withy beforehand to make it more pliable.
Then it was just a case of waiting for some snow to have some real good fun!
100% satisfying!!
I recently made these two Birch bark pots, they are stitched differently to the way I have previously made containers; this is now my new favourite method. As well as being very decorative, the 'stepped' stitching ensures that the bark doesn't split along its grain, which would be likely if so many stitching holes were made right next to each other along the same line. Making stitching holes through two layers of bark also helps the bark not to split.
The container on the right is made from the bark of a dead tree. When stripping the bark from the logs the wood inside had actually started to rot away but the skeleton of bark was still good to use, that's because of all the natural tar it contains. the smaller container is made from fresh bark I managed to salvage from some logs left behind by tree surgeons. This bark is such a nice material, its a shame so much of it just ends up on peoples fire heap!
Some of the crafts I make are quite intricate, so for a change I thought I'd show you how to make a simple little bark box like this...
The folds are simply held together by two stick pegs inserted through slots in the bark.

Primitive Trapping
Of course, tracking skills and good knowledge of your prey's behaviours will also mean the the difference between success and failure; or the difference between a humane and inhumane catch.
Click images to enlarge
Placing sticks either side of the trap and the animal trail guides the animal into the snare opening. There are other things that need to be thought about too, such as trying to make your trap as inconspicuous as possible; masking your scent (usually by smoking your snare and parts over a fire); and making as little disturbance to the animals trail so that it will not become suspicious... animals are more clever than you'd think!
A simple 'Eye' made from a section of naturally hollow Elder wood helps the snare to slip freely along.
Please respect trapping laws/ regulations and only use these traps in a survival situation. Never leave a practice trap set.

A Rustic Mushroom Soup with Thyme After a Bad Day at Work
Not that she is aware of this act of kindness. But her books — none of them long but all of them lovely — created a pleasant diversion for me on weekends.
She wrote a series of books about the daughters in a family with ties to Normandy; I felt an affinity for them because I had relatives with the same surname. She also wrote other novels, too, and many times they were gentle feminist stories about women achieving some sort of independence or reaching some sort of decision.
I recall one book in which a woman's husband leaves her for another woman, a younger one, of course. She drives through the rain into Normandy to spend time with her father, and they feast on a rustic meal that included mushrooms. It may have been soup or it may have been a mushroom omelet. No matter; it was comforting. I liked that scene.
I had that comfort in mind tonight when I made such a soup, using that leftover rind of Parmesan and some thyme to give it body and depth. Creaminess and warmth were what I craved.
Rustic Mushroom Soup with Thyme
10 ounces mushrooms
1 small onion, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups chicken or turkey broth
½ cup dry white wine or sherry
3-4 sprigs fresh thyme
dash pepper
dash sel de fleur
Brush mushrooms clean with damp towel; quarter and set aside.
Melt half of butter in heavy stockpot. Add onions and heat until onions become transparent. Add mushrooms and the rest of the butter and stir until mushrooms begin to darken and cook. Add stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for an hour.
After an hour of simmering, allow the soup to cool. Working in batches, transfer mushrooms and most of the onions to a blender and purée, holding the blender top down. Return the purée to the stockpot, add wine and allow to simmer for another hour. At this point, I added my rind of Parmesan cheese and the thyme and left it in long enough for some flavor and texture to be released. I removed it after about 20 minutes.
Just before serving, I also added ¼ cup of half and half, to give my soup some creaminess.
Note: Tasty and layered, if less full-bodied than I would have liked. It was inspired by an Anthony Bourdain recipe. He says it's better the next day. Let's hear it for leftovers!

Hi Mimi, I always use the Parmesan Rind in soups too, it's my secret ingredient. It works so well to give depth to the soup. I have a drawer full of them in the door of my fridge. I love the combination of mushroom and thyme!

Oh, this looks yummy! I'll have to try it.

I save all of my Parm rinds for soup, too. Whenever I serve one of my soups to friends, someone always asks what my secret ingredient is that makes the soup so flavorful. It never tastes like cheese -- just tastes more rich. Mushrooms and thyme are one of my favorite combinations. I use them together in frittatas.

Oh, wish I could be there for the leftovers!
The Parmesan rind thing is excellent unless your husband finds your stash and throw's it out thinking it's trash. But that only happens once!
You've made me hungry for mushroom soup now. - 08 March, 2007 05:43

Freya and Paul, and Lydia, so you've all been on to something I just discovered! Where was I? This is my new secret ingredient, too. Homemade soup is so good.
Laura, this was easy, if a little time (thyme) consuming. You can find the original recipe at Epicurious, which is even easier. Bourdain uses parsley, but I had none and I thougt thyme made more sense.
Tanna. my husband does the same thing. And more than once.... - 08 March, 2007 07:17

I made mushroom lasagna last night (an Ina Garten recipe) and it was out of this world. I love mushroom and thyme together. Thank you for the soup recipe ~ I'll have to try it this weekend.

Mushroom lasagana sounds good — it's like it with a white sauce, I think.
Jann, I'm pondering new used for old cheese... - 08 March, 2007 11:48

Old cheese had plenty of uses! Hoorah for soup to cancel out that horrible day at work! I had a pretty bad day yesterday but things got a little better today. Thanks for sharing your experience of the soup, Mimi.

Same here, Lucy, a better day today!
Of course, have the soup for lunch helped.

I tried this today, it was delicious. The only problem was it didn't make enough. I reduced the stock by one cup, though, so it would be a little thicker, which meant it didn't need the half and half. And I added 2 cloves garlic, once the butter and onions started I couldn't resist adding a little garlic to it. Also, I didn't have a parmesan rind (but I will save this next one!), so just crumbled a few small chunks of parmesan in it and left them. Those turned out to be fun, a little surprise you would come upon while eating, very good.
I didn't think it took too long? At least not to prepare, which is the key for me--just a few minutes work, and then I could let it cook for a while.
Anyway--delicious! Thanks for another great recipe, Mimi. - 09 March, 2007 20:02

I should have put less stock in, but I made all this chicken stock the other day and I wanted to use it up. The recipe that inspired it calls for even more, if I recall. I'll reduce it next time as I thought it could have been thicker.
Thanks for the feedback, Laura. I was wondering how shallots would taste — good, I should think, as they are a natural for mushrooms. - 09 March, 2007 21:11

I've read a book by Janine B. - - called "Bébé Couple." Clever and light. I didn't know much about her other books, though. And your soup looks great!

I think I know that one - is it part of the trilogy (I think there are three) about the French family?
I wish I had copies of them (in English) - I think I will search while in Paris. Maybe a used copy?
I know Shakespeare & Co. has used books — that's a start.
Good to see you BC! - 10 March, 2007 13:09

It was an ok night out, and by ok I mean we were hosted by the most egotistical, self-righteous, pompous, and narcissistic ass EVER! I'm sorry, but when did an entertainment night become all about the host of a show? I hope that this type of hubris filled show starts and stops at the P&H. The comics themselves were alright, but when mixed in with a "host" who has no idea what to do other than some self-aggrandizing, you have a night that sucks. I can only hope that there is a rotating host every week and that I caught them on their bad week. Regardless, I'm never going back.
This Comedy Open Mic was so amazing, the host so charming, the crowd so welcoming, that I decided to tell my wife then and there that our first born daughter was to be named "PeehinHaycha". My wife shortly informed me that I was very intoxicated and that we weren't married, nor did she even know me. I responded with a loud belch and received an awkward high five from the bartender whom avoided all eye-contact with me. Best. Night. Ever.
