Potato Chips Cooked At Home

-
Image
Kids may love potato chips with the plantain flavor, BBQ or sour cream because they think it’s novel. It’s something unique, they can only get if parents drive to the supermarket to buy. They seldom realize that what is on the supermarket shelf is a replica of what was done in homes, before food was dried, salted and packaged into potato chip packages. Every indigenous community in the world, has a way of preserving excess food. We had a good corn crop.  How do we preserve it for the winter? Hunters trapped a lot of animals. How do we dry the meat, after we’ve dried the skin for blankets, clothes and curtains? What is good about 2024, is practicality. Kids love potato chip flavours and guess what? They can make them at home. They visit the market with their parents, buy the plantain, slice it and cook it in butter. Kids will discover that it is more enjoyable that ‘plantain chips’ in a bag. Before kids make their own plantain chips, they will ask questions about the family. Dad is plan

Salmon Skin On

-
Image
  Mushrooms have a lot of water. Cook onions and 2mato in canola oil for 6min. Add mushrooms, cook for 4min. Place salmon fish on top and turn off heat. It's cooking although it's off. Don't over cook. It dries up. Eat with rice or roasted plantain. I love the skin on my salmon. That’s why I’m mad when I find the seafood section full of salmon with no skin. Food stores think the internet represents all of us. It doesn’t. I love the skin on my salmon, because I don’t believe everything so-called food critics say. Nature made salmon. There’s a reason why it is pink inside and protected by a black skin on the outside. I want to eat them both, as sushi or with rice and mushrooms, like what you see in this blog pic. I cannot imbibe everything I see online for a variety of reasons. The internet is like the bottom of the sea with beautiful fish, different colours, shapes and sizes darting about, saying hello, how you doing to each other. It is also a dangerous place where smaller

Yes Boss

Online pic. I’m scared. We seem to forget that we don’t have to listen to traders that sell us all sorts of things. Maybe, it’s how they do it. They use drill master advertising. 1.  Click here to accept the $5 000 overdraft. We click. 2.  Click here to activate your pre-approved mortgage. We click. 3.  Click here to accept the improved anti-virus. We click. 4.  Click here to accept the no-interest-for-24 months’ offer. We click. 5.  Click here to get your fire-resistant ticket to go to hell. We click. I know common sense is gone forever, never to return, but surely, we must be more careful about money. I know, online ads are forceful, are immediate, are timely (just what you need) and usually don’t want any up-front payment. However, I must also admit, that they have of way of making me special, as if they are talking to me, and me alone. How did they know the kids want to go to a real vacation, like their classmates? “But dad, going to Grandma’s place every summer is not real vacatio

Football Show Me The Money

-

Coaches that have built generational wealth for their families should not cry foul and claim N.I.L. destroys 'development.' They pocketed the money all those years.  Caleb Williams and Shedeur Sanders in the pic.   A Christmas Fumble,  a football movie co-produced by Eva Marcille is more than a love story. It is today’s headlines about football money that has change hands. The storyline is about once upon a time, before N.I.L. How? Apparently, advertising and any entity with money to burn, used to give it to football programs, in American colleges of their choice. The ‘chosen few colleges’ used it to build state of the art facilities and also to ‘buy’ - under the table - young players that showed potential. Officially, they went there for education. In reality, they were brought in to excel in football, fill up college stadiums thus making money for colleges. And here we are in 2024. The money has changed hands because of  what is called  Name.

Cormani McClain We Keep Receipts

Travis Hunter, calls himself 'HIM." old post 16 October 2023. Cormani McClain and Omarion Miller deserve all the props they are getting for their stellar performance at the 30 September football game, between CU Buffaloes their team, and visiting USC Trojans. The level of play was reminiscent of the 2 September TCU vs Buffs’ game, which toppled television commentators from their chairs. Coach Prime keeps receipts. We also keep his receipts and we are concerned about how Travis Hunter attempted to steal Cormani McClain and Omarion Miller’s glory. We are under the impression that he is a loose canon, and his coach allows it. As Shannon Sharpe put it:  it’s either you coach it, or condone it,  if I remember correctly. Deion Sanders said Travis Hunter - who is supposed to be recuperating from the hit he got from Colorado State - was coaching Cormani McClain during practice and on the sidelines.  Coach Prime said Travis Hunter did it on his own volition. From where we are sitting,

Google Another Common Sense Lawsuit

-
Image
Google has pleaded not guilty to charges that it has destroyed common sense.  Defence lawyers argue that it is a self-inflicted condition that does not have anything to do with the search engine. After all, it’s a free country/world.  People are free to smoke, drink and do whatever they like with their bodies.   Lawyers for the people are not buying it. They believe it is similar to smoking cases, where cigarette companies were found guilty of encouraging people to smoke, knowing quite well the adverse consequences. Google’s legal teams also argue that ‘Googling’ something does not affect one’s lungs like smoking. Lawyers for the people say it does affect overall health, including health of third parties such as drinking and driving, which continues to kill people.   Google vs. The People .  Health was the main issue in the smoking cases.  Common sense is the bull’s eye in this 2022 case, but the problem is that it is in the eye of the beholder. Someone leaves a child in the bath to fe

Canada Budget Careful Hidden Agenda

-

Quiz . What animal gives with the right hand, and repossesses with the left? Ottawa Canada April 16, 2024:  Chrystia Freeland, Finance Minister presented the 2024 budget. It has slices for most stakeholders but I’m skeptical because of the small print. The government never gives anything for free. There’s always a catch. COVID-19 pandemic lesson I remember telling a friend who lives in another continent that the Canadian government stepped up for us during the pandemic. It gave us money to keep body and soul together. I even said opposition parties were on their best behavior because they approved the COVID-19 funds called, Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). We were on quarantine. We couldn’t go shopping, our national hobby so the government gave businesses a loan called, the Canada Emergency Business account (CEBA). Ordinary people had a rude awakening when they did their 2020 taxes. The government regarded CERB as income and taxed it. It was not supposed to be, because the pan
