for me
red lentil dal
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups water
1 cup dried red lentils*
3/4 teaspoon turmeric
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup basmati rice,* cooked according to package directions
2 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeño chili, seeded, chopped
Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup onion and 1 minced garlic clove and sauté until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside. Combine 3 cups water, lentils, remaining 1 cup onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, turmeric, cumin and ginger in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until lentils are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer half of lentil mixture to processor; purée until smooth. Return purée to same saucepan. Mix in sautéed onion mixture. Simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spoon rice into bowls. Spoon dal over. Top with tomatoes, cilantro and chili. |

so, how do you ladies take compliments about yourself?
seriously. when someone tells you that you're pretty, what do you say? how do you react?
i have a really hard time taking compliments. i mean, i don't get them alot, except from jason...and even then, i roll my eyes or make a face when he tells me i'm cute or pretty.
it aggravates him. he always says "let me tell my wife she's pretty".
i'm not out to get compliments, but when i do occasionally get them, i just don't know how to react or i just laugh or make a face.
i don't think i'm pretty/cute/hot or whatever words are used now. and it's no big deal...i'm not out to impress anyone.
i mean, i think i'm beautiful in the sense that i'm made in the image of God, but beyond that...nah. and beyond that, i don't think it really matters.
sure, there are days when i feel cute and all...but..
i guess....just how do you say thank you (especially to your husband) without sounding like you think you know you look good and that you're all that?
does this even make sense? |

gas station issue resolved
I called the NJ division of weights and measures which regulates gas stations. The owner was spoken to and agreed to give us the 1.50. Apparently if they get another complaint he will be fined. Their advice was pretty much what I expected. Try to get a picture of the pump, then send the photo and the receipt to them and they will investigate. Going nuts at the station is pointless.
Or just say "fill it"
Or pay cash.
which reminds me, Power gas was down to 2.99 on Friday (cash price only) |

JUST FLOATING BY  It was floating by about 30 feet out in the water, and I wasn't even sure what it was at the time I took the picture. But after I downloaded it, I could see it was a dead fish. I normally wouldn't post pictures of dead things, but I thought, even in death, it is a beautiful creature. |

myth confirmed: if you pee on an electric fence you CAN get a shock ... not to mention your pants may catch fire... they originally tested the myth against the third rail of a subway... and the stream break up before it hit the rail, so without a continuous steam it had no effect. They later tried it on an electric fence and because there were closer Adam got a little shock. A little shock? Hmm... check out this video. There was nothing little about the shock that this guy got... |
