At home we like to light lots of fireworks at the start of the new year to chase away the demons and evil for the year to come. Well, that’s where the tradition comes from, actually we do it because it’s colorful, noisy and fun. Well, in Japan they have a similar ritual on February 3rd, the day before the Lunar New Year: Setsubun. The Japanese like to throw soybeans out of their doors or even at each other, especially people wearing Oni (demon) masks. The mamemaki (bean scattering) is to drive away evil spirits from your house, and eating your age in soybeans is the way to get luck in instead. I didn’t really want to throw soy beans out of my apartment front door, basically because I didn’t really feel like cleaning up heaps of beans scattered about. Instead of doing the throwing, I decided to get thrown at. So Aiko (one of the Japanese teachers at our school) and I went to the Narita shrine here in Inuyama, where priests and celebrities throw bags of roasted soy beans and pres

Today is Apple Tree Day, National Shortbread Day and National Bean Day
I’m really not sure how to address this one. I’ve included a shortbread recipe and a bean recipe, so I guess that will have to do. Have a great day!

Fifteen year old Frances Bean Cobain, the only child of raging rockers Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is rumored to the next spokesmodel for French luxury brand Chanel. The teenager, who recently denied rumors she is dating Jack Osbourne, is said to be “overwhelmed” by the prospect, but looks forward to “what the CHANEL experience [...]

The first time I saw a werewolf movie as a young boy it gave me nightmares for a month. Mentioning the “classic” green bean casserole has the same effect on me. It’s terrifying. Overcooked canned beans smothered in a sodium heavy, vaguely mushroom flavored ooze and topped with rapidly softening fried onions.

Green bean casserole is the greatest dish on the Thanksgiving table. Sure, turkey is good, mash potatoes are good, stuffing is good, but green bean casserole kicks all of their asses. What is not to love about green bean casserole?

From the developer's website:Bean is a small, simple word processor (or more precisely, a rich text editor), with many niceties added to make writing convenient, efficient and comfortable. Bean is powered by the same text engine as Apple's Text Edit, but it adds live word count and the ability to adjust printed margins. Lots of other features too. MS Word, OpenOffice, etc. try to be all things to all people. But sometimes you just want the right tool for the job. That is Bean's niche.Bean is not a replacement for MS Word. It does not do footnotes or hierarchical styles. Further, it is only partially compatible with MS Word's .doc format. Bean is also not a competitor for AbiWord, which is a full-featured word processor. Don't even try to compare the two...apples and oranges.Get it here.Technorati Tags: free software, writing
I've been on a salsa kick lately. It's probably due to the hot weather we've been slogging through up here in New York. To me, there's nothing better than kicking back with a cold beer, a bowl of tortilla chips and some salsa on a really hot day. This salsa recipe combines the sweetness of mango with the tang of the habanero pepper. Increase the habanero quotient if you want to set your proverbial wig on fire! Otherwise, leave it as it is and you'll enjoy a nice little tingle.Read More...

Risotto and arancini are a recurring on these pages... this one is a quite straight-forward risotto. The arancini at the end are filled with more goats cheese and bacon.
Summer has finally rolled into our part of Texas, hopefully leaving the thunderstorms and driving rain that have been our constant companions since March behind us for a while. With the mercury rising rapidly, it was a perfect excuse to fire up the grill and go with a side dish that was on the [...]

This is a photo of Cloud Gate. It’s a sculpture in Downtown Chicago. Locals call it “The Bean”. It’s amazing! When we were in Chicago I spent more time walking around the bean, and under it, than I did any other sight that I went to in all of Chicago.
Isn’t that amazing?
Here’s a close up view. The large structure that you can see reflected in the background is Millennium Park. I posted a photo of the outdoor theater on my gardening website. You should visit to take a better look at it because it’s an amazing design too.
Cool.
I just loved Chicago. I was only there for three days, but I found that it was very much like Toronto. I felt very much at home there.
Maybe Chris and I will end up going to Chicago again this summer.
BTW when these photo was posted on another site someone wondered if it was photoshopped. Nope.
