Today breakfast was shakshouka. To wit:

slice/dice 1 onion into a hot pan w/ olive oil, when they start getting translucent, toss in 1 or 2 jalapeños, diced and seeded and 4 cloves of garlic, crushed/diced and then sweat them. Toss in 1/2 tsp of cumin and coriander, grind a bit of pepper, toss in a large can (28 oz) of crushed tomato (whole tomato is OK, but you’ll have to smush them up). let this stew and sweat and evaporate a bit. when it’s roughly the consistency of a thick spaghetti sauce/stew, crack three or four eggs in — one at a time — and gently lay them in, like a poached egg. cover and wait until the egg whites are set. sprinkle feta on top and serve with bread to sop up the egg yolk and the tomato mix. (leftover veggies can go in this fairly easily — i tossed cauliflower in mine)

Some friends of mine recently won an award for a film they put together for MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art, for you philistines). See the very short film at http://uvu.channel2.org/PublicSite/Video.aspx?id=805&skin=5

An idea whose time has come: Wiki Cookbooks http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Table_of_Contents admittedly, not as good as abuelita’s cooking, but hey, something’s better than nothing.

You may have seen it already, but god, it just hurts to watch someone be this stupid in public: “Well I believe that US Americans can’t, um, do that, find America on a map, because, I believe, some people don’t have maps, and, our education, like South Africa – and countries in Asia – we should help them. South Africa and those Asian countries, we should help educate them.” — Miss Teen USA 2007, South Carolina http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQdhMSEqhfg

I am a prankster. I appreciate the art behind it. I have to rein that in though, because I tend to just go straight for OH MY FUCKING GOD levels of revenge. But let’s witness someone else’s prank: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Xw_b3HeUY ah, butter on the floor. a true classic. simple and cheap.
