Oh Harvest Moon Part 2


Inspiring quotes about the moon:

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon,
my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
Mohandas Gandhi

If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt,
they'd immediately go out.
William Blake

You moon the wrong person at an office party
and suddenly you're not "professional" any more.
Jeff Foxworthy

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

Great harmonies from Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, too.

Yeah, it is the one that comes to mind when looking at that big, big moon.

OK, onto Maryann.

Oh come on! All this talk about moon quotes, and neither of you laughed at the Foxworthy thing. Maybe Old Knudson is right--maybe I am a simple soul. I thought it was funny, anyway, in the context of the other quotes at least.

I did laugh, Robyn, but when I went to comment with a hee hee, I got distracted by Sassy having out-cooled me with Neil Young.
Drat!

Well, OK then. I was beginning to think my sense of humor was so off that no one else would even chuckle.

I laughed really hard, actually. It just didn't go with Neil. I also thought about Denny's. I hate Denny's. It's disgusting. This one time, however, I went there in college with a friend to study (it was open all night). We were a little punchy, and we couldn't stop laughing at this dish: Moons Over My Hammy.

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...

Right Brain Dominant

I am reading A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future , by Daniel H. Pink. I wouldn't have chosen this book had I been book hunting because I lean toward fiction—it was a gift from someone who, like me, is right-brain dominate. I haven't gotten very far, just far enough to learn that in Hippocrates' day, the left side of the brain was considered the true source of thought, the thing that separated us from the animals and made us human. It was the source of reason and logic. The right side was considered a useless left over, a parasite. Now we know that both sides of our brains are equally important and equally involved in our daily thoughts and functions. But some of us do seem to be governed by one side more strongly than the other. Me, sometimes I think the left side of my brain has completely atrophied, that the right side governs everything. But I am learning that I don't give that other side enough credit, that logical mathy side. As I read on ab...

Everybody Needs A Little Crème Brûlée

I went out to dinner with some friends the other evening and ordered crème brûlée for dessert. It was lovely—crispy sugar crust and creamy custard underneath. I'm a bit of crème brûlée fan and order it more often than I order any other restaurant dessert, which is not to say I always order dessert—only now and then. On my way home, I remembered I had a crème brûlée kit at home with ramekins, a torch, and a basic recipe. I love the torch. So, now I have made my favorite dessert at home, and I recommend that everyone have crème brûlée. It makes the world better. I used the recipe on the box, which was simple and basic. My only suggestion for improvement is to use less sugar for the caramelized crust. It was so thick, it was like chipping away at glass. An ice pick would have come in handy, or a diamond. Other recipes suggest 1/4 cup to be divided among six ramekins, making just over 1 tablespoon per serving. Crème Brûlée serves 4 1 cup heavy cream 2 extra large egg yolks (I used 3 re...
