20091017-Peeps Chicken
While waiting one friggin’ hour to get our hair done, Maw and I (and the rest of the customers) watched an old video (on public broadcasting) of Julia Child.
The presentation was about the `peeps of chicken`and how:
- to tell what age of chicken to use for what type of recipe (young for roasting and old hen for soup);
- to tell the approximate age of the chicken from the base of the breastbone (young, if cartilage or old, if bone); and
- to prepare a rotisserie chicken.
- Stuff with parsley, chopped shallots (which looked like purple garlic cloves) and French tarragon;
- Wrap well with LOTS of string by using a needle through the skins of the knees and over through the elbows with the neck stitched closed in between.
- Place blanch bacon (by boiling 10 minutes to take out the saltiness and smoke flavor) on top of theb ird and wrapping some more with string;
- Lock the metal skewers into place and on either end of the bird and adding more strings to prevent the bird from falling off in case the bird shrinks during the cooking process; and
- Roast the bird for two and one half hour.

20091009-Weathery Ways
Awoke to cold and low gray clouds. Now sunny, clear blue skies with coolness after awakening to afternoon nap of one hour. Swept leaves from backyard earlier this afternoon, not speaking to visitor. Saw little baby birds bathing in birdbath earlier this mid-morning after attending morning mass and shopping for watermelons, Filipino eggplants at SeaFood City, vitamins at CVS, and food at Valerio Bakery.

20090905-Much Cooler
This morning gray clouds broke free to reveal sylphs and clear blue skies. After attending a healing mass of oil to the forehead from 11:00am to 12:30pm, after eating lunch for about one hour and while burning sweet, green peppers freshly harvested from our front and back yards upon the double burning in the backyard, the very cool wind blew strongly around 14:00pm. I was thinking about the eyes of dolphins, iguana, angel fish and parakeets and most importantly the potential REMEDY to my situation.
Alas, despite being financially abused by TPTB OVERSEAS for the past nine slong years, the blessing in disguise (prior to roasting Maw’s green peppers) was not only taking a couple of photos showing three baby doves sitting on the red fence near the CB created by J—/Sensei, another one sitting on the bird bath and unfortunately not the one resting under the cool shade of our short lemon tree, too, but seeing up close the same hummingbird tasting the nectar of a fully bloomed hibiscus tree shrub. It sports over a dozen or sort flowers!

20090904-Watching You
I’m keeping my eyeballs peeled wide open for the Japanese and how some Japanese citizens are not aware of dolphins being killed for meat. Some youths claim they do not eat dolphin meat. I wonder if dolphin tastes like chicken.
How much more mindless Japanese animation material could be made to distract the next generation over the reality of what is going on in parts of the world, like the Cove in Taiji, Japan? How about a nice, profitable tourist spot to save dolphins and give fishermen new jobs, like taking care of their prized assets instead of killing for foodstuff?
I wonder if people are aware of the different life forms, like dolphins, and if their VERY presence is merely a small test to observe how far along the human species (with opposable thumbs) have come to respect the planet and its inhabitants.

Dim-sum tastes good, sometimes dumplings. Soup good but salty. Maw spat out tasteless spinach, ginger dumpling. Not the same as ~ ulam ~ from scratch over rice.

Snacking on ‘Traditional Fried Pork Skins’ by FritoLay. Almost finished one bag. Mostly air, really. Lots of water helps wash down dryness from sticking throat.
