test test

May 13th, 2010 at 11:55 pm

I'm hoping that the person who couldn't comprehend what was written but commented (without linking to her SA blog, craven and subpar combo there) anyway got bored with one year's silence and moved on. Good people left too, but past banter experiences have helped me make better choices and question some held irrational beliefs.

It's true I need to let go of a lot of things. I'm just not seeing the value of those comments. I don't visit other blogs and leave comments that demonstrate that I haven't read everything. One could post: "I don't understand what you meant by ____________" or "you write statement A, and that's foreign to me. Is something missing"?

It makes me wonder what the standards for online discourse are. Also, I don't see anything wrong with supplementing facts and references when making a statement or correction (e.g., "Councilmember is one word" "panini is plural of panino" "Dover is the capital of Delaware"), but apparently some people think that's snarky. If the correction is done in neutral language, how is a vulgar retort appropriate? What does it say about someone's worldview that facts are feared and viewed as something to be protected against?

I don't delete comments unless they are obvious spam, or if they seem to be accidental multiple-posts, because expression, uninformed and ill-constructed it may be, is a right, and it's useful to readers to know which commentators to ignore and avoid. How can one tell the good among the bad?

I just ask that people consider when commenting that inferences about their education, personality and cognition can be made by readers.

    I think #1 is probably the most important because if you don't plan, most of the other stuff won't happen. I would suggest also cook ahead and either put in the fridge for use in the next couple of days or freeze for ease. If you have it available, the temptation to eat out is lessened.

    My favorite recipe for fish is very simple. Put your piece(s) of fish on a piece of foil big enough to create a tent. Drizzle some olive oil (or other oil of your choice) over your fish. Add whatever spices you like. Good ones I like are garlic, tumeric, italian seasoning, sea salt, cayenne pepper, crushed red peppers, and black pepper. I don't use all of them every time and I mix it up to change the flavor a little. I usually bake it for about 30 minutes on 350 degrees. Steam some veggies or make rice, etc. and you have a frugal, healthy meal. My trick for making sure something is thawed and ready to cook for the evening when I get home from work is to take the meat from the freezer and put it the fridge at about the same time I take my lunch for work out of the fridge. I agree with rob62521's post also. I do that a lot. It definitely simplifies things and reduces the "I want KFC."

    awesome! I love lemon juice, paprika and foil combos with fish! What happened tonight was scallions from the garden, garlic, tomatoes, lemon juice, garden thyme, rosemary on pieces of halibut which in turn rested on thin slices of blanched potato. I am especially thankful as despite the abundance of halibut where I live, there is a scarcity of recipes.

    While I am not a big fan of Rachqwxzyvl Ray, I do think that #1 is a big money and time saver overall that can lead to a lot less stress. As long as you have some insurance that you are planning/preparing meals that you will actually want to eat, you come out ahead in the end.
