No Thank You, We Don't Believe in Socialization!

here is a snippet

"The idea of learning acceptable social skills in a school is as absurd to me as learning nutrition from a grocery store. "

hahaha Exactly

Kudos to Jim Carrey

Actor Jim Carrey may be a funny guy, but this article he wrote is so right on I had to post it here.

Here is a snippet

"With many states like Minnesota now reporting the number at 1 in 80 children affected with autism, can we afford to trust those who serve two masters or their logic that tells us "one size fits all" when it comes to vaccines? Can we afford to ignore vaccines as a possible cause of these rising numbers when they are one of the fastest growing elements in our children's environment? With all the doubt that's left hanging on this topic, how can anyone in the media or medical profession, boldly demand that all parents march out and give their kids 36 of these shots, six at a time in dosage levels equal to that given a 200 pound man? This is a bias of the most dangerous kind."

and the full article is here.

New Recipes

I just totally made these up and they were great! It was my first time cooking lobster and it turned out good! I think I actually preferred the Red Snapper tho, which is a good thing because it's a LOT cheaper! At least I know that I can make lobster at home and don't need to drop a fortune at a chain restaurant! I have no idea if these are accurate technical cooking names...but they sounded right to me LOL

Cajun Red Snapper with Creole Shrimp Cream Sauce, Wild Rice and Green Beans
food

Recipe:

Wild Rice - I use a dry fry method (thanks Marisol!)

Shrimp Creole Cream Sauce
8 med/lg thawed precooked Shrimp
Diced Onion and Garlic
Hot Sauce (like Tabasco...I used Chahula)
Butter
Flour
Milk
Cajun Seasoning (see below)

Sautee onion and garlic in 3 Tbs butter until transparent, add shrimp and 2 Tbs flour to make roux. Stir and cook on med heat until smells nutty (2 mins) turn heat low and add a bit of milk (like 1/3 - 1/2 cup) adjust for thickness desired. Stir until thickens. Add few tsp of Cajun seasoning and drops of hot sauce...depending on how hot you like it. Pour over cooked filets just before serving...also great over pasta with a bit more milk in it.

Cajun Red Snapper
3 filets of Red Snapper
Olive Oil
Cajun Seasoning
Paprika Oregano
Cayenne Pepper Parsley
Salt Chili Powder
Pepper Onion & Garlic Powder

Olive Oil and Cajun season both side, put skin side down on broiler pan and cook under broiler 10 mins...until flaky.

I picked up these recipes off of a google search and it was very VERY tasty. I'd say better than Red Lobster.
