Today I found this amusing and thought-provoking site called, "Someone Else Will Put It Back."
The site had two main points, which skittered off in many directions from those beginnings, provoking great humor and occasional pathos. One point was a general awareness of the work we create for others by not picking up after ourselves along the many paths we take. Kind of how we create entropy, and how each momentary lapse of personal responsibility and lack of awareness of the impact of our actions on others creates a path that spirals slowly (in babysteps) toward the destruction of the world. For a richer explanation of the basic philosophy in a more grandiose and evocative form, see the Young Wizards books by Diane Duane (archive version here, and no, I am not sure it is authorized), and the Wizard’s Oath.
I am probably putting way more thought into this than the SEWPIB site did! The idea of putting things back where you found them is something we always try to break people of in libraries. The books are valuable, and if you put them in the wrong place, there is a very real possibility that they may never be found again, or not for decades. We also have no idea whether the book is being used unless folks leave it out where we can find it, and that information sometimes determines whether or not a book is kept. If you love a book, take it OFF the shelf and DON’T put it back. In libraries, we do NOT want patrons putting the books back. We want the statistics, and we want to be absolutely certain it goes back in exactly the right place. It was a bit of a surprise to me that grocery stores have the opposite philosophy, however this explains why we have so much trouble breaking people of the habit.
The second point seemed to be to crowdsource the concept and have people pay special awareness to finding these beasts in situ, so to speak, and then to tell the implied stories. Why and how did those two incongruent items become juxtaposed in real life?
With that idea priming the pump, we went shopping today to find turtlenecks for my son, who pulled a muscle in his neck and wanted something to keep it warm. We didn’t find turtlenecks for men, but we did find lots of funny tshirts, hoodies, sweaters, and other warm clothes. Since I had just finished reading the book from my Christmas stocking, I whipped past the book rack to see what piqued my interest and seemed appropriate brainless holiday reading. That was where I found this – a mix for pumpkin pie bars sitting in the book rack amidst the romances. As a librarian I am rather delighted with the idea that if someone had to choose between a less than healthy high-calorie treat and reading a book that supports imagination and hopes and dreams, that one would choose the latter. I love the idea of books as diet food. 🙂 Excellent choice, whoever did it!

I had lunch at the Grand Rapids Art Museum Cafe with fundraisers from the leading arts and cultural organizations in Grand Rapids. Someone had Wasasbi Lime Tuna pan seared with Black Sesame Seeds and a Mandarin Cashew Salad. www.artmuseumgr.org/.

September 20: Stop. Soup time.
Image by gwen
It’s cold today, so time for soup. Add your own to the It’s Soup! group.
The recipe, as previously posted elsewhere. I baked the tortilla chips this time — not nearly as tasty but healthier. And I used the tomato sauce I made with the first batch of tomatoes I’ve ever grown — honestly can’t tell the difference between that and the canned ones.
Tortilla soup
Chicken soup with the added benefit of vitamin C-ful tomatoes and lots of cayenne pepper to clear your sinuses. Or you can think of it as spicy minestrone with tortillas.
I’m not so much on the measuring, and things like this depend a lot on your specific taste, so these are rough guidelines rather than instructions, and you should ignore them whenever possible so you end up with the soup that is right for you.
corn and/or flour tortillas
stock/boullion
some chicken
an onion, maybe two
some tomatoes, or a can this time of year
garlic
bitty pasta — noodles, stars, ABCs, etc.
cayenne pepper or other hotcha seasonings of choice
possibilities: carrots, corn, potatoes
[The vegetarian version of this would lack chicken, and use vegetable broth of some sort.]
Slice up some corn and flour tortillas and fry them in vegetable oil til brown, then drain on paper towel and put in over to keep warm while you make your soup.
Get your chicken stock boiling [I use boullion cubes], then liberally sprinkle with cayenne pepper and toss in your cubed chicken. Start a pan on the other burner with a bit of oil and sautee your chopped onions. Add in chopped-up tomatoes and some garlic when the onions are translucent. Combine ingredients of pot and pan [I find a really big pot works here] and add your pasta [how much depends on if you are a soupy-soup type of person or you like your spoon standing; I think you can guess which I am], then simmer until you are ready to eat.
This is the point where you put a big handful of those tortilla strips in a big bowl then drown them in the soupier part of this adventure. Hence the name.

My husband has inspired me to take healthier lunches, so I’ve made salads this week. I make them before I can think about what I might really want to eat because I’ll end up with something completely different if I base my choice on desire, rather than sensibility. Did I mention that my boss brought cinnamon rolls to our Admin Team meeting this morning? Sensibility fail.

Healthy Eating ….. (259/365)
Image by Steve Tolcher
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am into healthy eating and am always banging the drum where diet and exercise are concerned!
I was reading some pretty shocking statistics about how some children are not only not getting enough fresh fruit and vegetables each day – but some are even struggling to correctly identify certain fruits when they are presented with a picture of them. Shocking …..
Like most children, my girls are given the odd packet of crisps, sweets or chocolate here and there, but we always have plenty of fruit on hand as a first choice. Francesca is particularly fond of Bananas – or "Narnna’s" as she refers to them!!
Here she is devouring one earlier!

Flickr Photo Recipe: Faruk’s healthy salad (17/18)
Image by kurafire
(This picture is part of an 18-picture salad recipe. Start the recipe here!)
If you have some herbs or spices that you feel go well in a salad, add them now. I use some Italian herb seasoning which you can buy in any grocery store or supermarket, and comes in a little bottle. If you can find bottles or bags of Salad Mix, you’re even better off.
Add your spices of choice, if any, to the salad and then add, in this order, the balsamic vinegar, the white wine vinegar and the olive oil.
For the vinegars, hold your thumb on the opening and just drip each on there a little. If you like your food a bit spicier and more acidic, add some more of the vinegars.
A regular ratio between oils and vinegar is: 6 parts oil, 1 part balsamic and 1 part white wine vinegar.
What I do myself: 4-5 parts oil, 1 part balsamic and 1 part white wine vinegar. I don’t like to drown the salad in olive oil and have that dominate the taste, and I don’t want the salad to taste a little dry either.
If there’s any challenge at all in making this salad, it would be the ratio between oil and vinegars. This, ultimately, makes or breaks the flavor and overall quality of the salad. Fortunately, experimentation leads to experience, so just pay attention to how much you use each and learn from every time you make the salad.

February 1, 2009: Food and Flickr

Sunday evening. Mrs.Thomas is prepping food for the week and I’m looking at Flickr. She’s sick, so I guess that makes me a slacker.
