PUMPKIN STRUDEL
One 16-oz can pumpkin 5-6 tbsp sugar	½ - 1½ tbsp cinnamon ½ cup vegetable oil 16 sheets fillo dough
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet In a saucepan combine the pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon . and 1 tbsp of oil. Stirring constantly, heat over a low flame until all liquid evaporates. Then set aside. Taking one sheet of fillo at a time while keeping the rest covered, fold the sheet in half. Brush with oil. Then place 2 tbsp of filling along the long side. Close the fillo, rolling jelly-roll fashion. Being very careful, twist the long roll and then roll it up like a snail, with the outside end tucked under. Brush with oil and place on the cookie sheet. Continue until all the filling is used up. Bake 20 - 25 minutes, until golden brown. If at the end of the time, the strudel is not yet golden, raise the oven to 375 degrees for a few minutes.

Makin' vinegar

That's right, wine fans: Homemade vinegar is as flavorful and nuanced as the wine it's made from, and it keeps you from ever having to pour out the last remnants from an open wine bottle.

To make vinegar, all you need is water and wine, a container and a vinegar starter, creepily called a mother. You can buy these items in kits or individually online or at beer- and wine-making stores.

Once you pour the liquids into the container and put cheesecloth on top (so air gets in but bugs stay out), you just leave in a dark place and let mom work her magic. The first batch can take up to three months, but after that you just strain out what you need and pour in more wine and water as necessary, so the process goes more quickly.

Bottle your ruby goodness in clear jars for a unique gift, make a bold marinade, or mix with good olive oil, freshly ground pepper and sea salt for a simple, sensational salad dressing.

Fear not, yet trust not, the seemingly simple actions of your fellow man.

Foreign/Human Policy

We all walk the earth

Creating the future


Taking liberties with Haikus. As a great human once said, rules were meant to be questioned. This has got to be 5, 7, 5 in some language.

My comment on the recent "Blink" episode of Dr Who on imdb:

This episode encapsulates why I watch Doctor Who - crazy interesting storyline, great Doctor quips, plus it was beautifully filmed. Believe me, it wasn't the lack of screen time with David Tennant that was the good part (I really REALLY love his Doctor), I guess it was that it focused on the story and not trying to get some little gadget to work, or have some bumbling alien/human devotee trying to take over the world and we just sonic screwdriver him to death. Personally, I feel the current series is FAR too in love with that screwdriver. Yes, it makes and nice shiny blue light, and blue is indeed my FAVORITE color, but we'd like a little bit more of the problem solving and mystery/scary/cool story. I really like the direction that the new Bond movie has done for the Bond megaseries - don't feature the gadgets, use them okay, but feature the mystery, the crazy different thought processes that are possible with alien/"alien" cultures. But please don't over-act it! (The Slitheren episodes with the overzealous interpretation of how to win friends and influence people left me cold). David Tennant is brilliant, let the man shine (and not his screwdriver so much)!

Four and a half years passed between posts. Blogger must have infinite depths of databases. Sadly though, the only blog I was maintaining in that time was cataclysmicly destroyed in some freakish "WHERE'D MY BLOG GO?!" accident. It was there one week and gone the next. Makes a girl look inward for reliance. Guess that's not *so* bad :)

Oh and, although my personal description over there is technically still accurate (for a few days anyway), I'm kinda re-thinking the architecture in Italy statement.

Vesper Martini

Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel.


Had to look it up. With all the England-English dialect I surround myself with, you would imagine I might be able to understand my native tongue. And, it's not like I only saw the flick once.
