kocevski — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:17:43 +0000

BROWN RICE AND CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH EDAMAME AND WALNUTS
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
4 tablespoons tamari soy sauce* or low-sodium soy sauce

2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 teaspoon honey

4 teaspoons oriental sesame oil
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice, cooked according to package directions, cooled
2 cups shelled cooked edamame beans (from about 26 ounces of pods)

2/3 cup chopped green onions
Stir walnuts in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons tamari over walnuts; stir until tamari coats walnuts, about 45 seconds. Cool. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store at room temperature in airtight container.)

Combine chicken, 2 tablespoons tamari and honey in medium bowl; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add cooked rice and edamame; reduce heat to medium and stir-fry until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide rice mixture among plates. Sprinkle with green onions and walnuts.

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

A very nice webcam situated in Yosemite Valley. This is turning out to be a great resource to determine what the conditions are in the park before going up.

No Charges in Katrina Bridge Blockade

kocevski — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 20:07:15 +0000

Of all the outrageous things that happen in New Orleans during Katrina, the police blockage of an evacuation route to keep the prodiminatly black evacuees out of a rich white community is perhaps one of the most disgusting. Now a grand jury has decided that no one will be held accountable for what happened. What a disgrace

Come on all you freedom fighters
good news to you I’ll tell
of how the good old freedom ride has come in here to dwell
which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
They say in Hines county, no neutrals have they met
You’re either for the freedom ride or you’re tom for Ross Barnett
My father was a freedom fighter and I’m a freedom fighters son
and I’ll stick to the freedom ride until every battles won

-James Farmer, Co-founder of the Freedom Riders

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”
