I have been wanting to start a blog for quite some time. I'm quite sure I have many things to say...I'm just not sure if any of them matter to anyone. So I'll put my thoughts out here in the great vacuum and see where they stick.
I plan to have several sections to each entry, based on the finite diversity of my brain function. I love cooking (nutrition in general), Strat-O-Matic football, conspiracy theories, and my opinions on daily matters of life. I will clearly demarcate each section, allowing anybody who happens to find this, a chance to skip things without regret.
First though, a bit about me. I am an ex-environmental engineer and quasi-hydrologist living in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. I have a lovely wife of 27+ years and two sons. I no longer wish to be an engineer, or to work in ANY capacity which serves to enrich the rich at the cost of everyone else.
As I am not currently working, save for several days per week spent at a local farm, I find myself with extra time to think about things like Strat football, conspiracies, and my opinions. Many times those three are all the same thought.
Molé is a wonderful Mexican dish, very sweet and is created with great care. Gato molé might actually be tasty, but I love cats (we have two) and would never think about eating them. Well, maybe. Anyway...the title is a reference to my friend Jack and a general "attitude" we share on many things. Jack doesn't really like cats (I think he doesn't dislike them, either), but he and I always seem to find a quick answer for whatever passes through our minds. I say "cat" and Jack says "molé." We enjoy the thought, and then move on.
The point is, life is only as serious as you allow it to be. You have to take care of business, but it does not have to be ABOUT business. You must work to live, but you should not live to work.
Until I have a cogent thought...adieu.
The key to good Gato Mole' is to not rush the process Do it slow, use high quality, flavorful peppers and sip a good homebrew or glass of wine while simmering. Of course the same can be said for good sex or life in general. Just keep writing, DaDebbil
ReplyDeleteStevie would be a little strange in a Gato Mole'. Then again, I've never tasted retard before, so at least it would be unique.
ReplyDeleteThere will be no Gato Mole' of any kind, at least while I'm around... lol. Guacamole, however, is a different story! :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, how can I sign up to work at just whatever I happen to want to be doing?? Yep, I'm in line for that!
