  • What Teachers Make

    He says the problem with teachers is, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?" He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can't, teach. I decide to bite my tongue instead of his and resist the temptation to remind the other dinner guests that it's also true what they say about lawyers. Because we're eating, after all, and this is polite company... Read→

  • Teacher

    Well the dawn was coming, Heard him ringing on my bell. He said, ``my names the teacher, That is what I call myself. And I have a lesson That I must impart to you. Its an old expression But I must insist its true. Jump up, look around, Find yourself some fun, No sense in sitting there hating everyone. No mans an island and his castle isnt home, The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown. .... Read→

  • Coffee Quotes

    This coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army of the battlefield, and the battle takes place. Things remembered arrive at full gallop, ensuing to the wind. The light cavalry of comparisons deliver a magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of logic hurry up with their train and ammunition, the shafts of with start up like sharpshooters. Similes arise, the paper is covered with ink; for the struggle commences and is concluded with torrents of black water, just as a battle with powder. ~Honore de Balzac, "The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee" .... Read→

Salsa Exchange and Competition

Posted by Increasing... May 30, 2009
The food not the dance…
Salsa is best condiment known to human culinary experience. This is largely due to the fact that the best salsas are the homemade varieties. Recipes are guarded. Secret ingredients are often hidden even in one’s own kitchen. Based on this I submit a proposal to all who might wander across this blog. A contest and an exchange…
No recipes need to be revealed but here is how it works… In Fall (closing date to be established) you may send in exactly one cup of salsa in a well sealed container (shipping instructions will follow). your salsa sample will be judged by a yet to be determined set of independent judges. There will be a prize for the winner in a few different categories. Regular, Hot, Wacky. Criteria to be posted.
In addition if there is enough interest I would like to also orchestrate a salsa exchange (a la cookie exchange). I will send more details about this will work but I will be in charge of coordinating the distribution. What to do?
Comment below and let me know that you are interested…

    Boooooo!!!! I have always wanted to do a food exchange (besides cookies) and haven't been able to find anyone around here interested in it. And now you are having one for one of my all time favorite foods! I fear my participation would be thwarted by border issues. Que my jealousy.

    Natasha you should not exclude yourself so quickly. I will do some investigation about the possibility of getting stuff back and forth from the US. Plus it could be an excuse for you guys to come north in Fall :)
