Now This...... Is Chicken Soup
I part ways, however, with this expert's recipe for chicken soup. He recommends chicken broth with egg noodles. I prefer the above Thai version with rice noodles and a variety of spores. Of course, our desires are completely our own.
I was curious as to the crowd's experience with chicken soup.

MMM, chicken soup. I worked for a while in a jewish restaurant...I make kick-ass chicken soup with matzoh balls :)
There is something very nurturing about chicken soup (that most taurean of all comfort foods, although I suppose it could fall under cancer due to it's overwhelming association with mothers...) I remember reading years ago about it helping fight off viruses and boosting the immune system.
Beautiful pic...Got some freshly-made chicken stock at home. Some chicken Tom Yum soup sounds really good about now...although the kid really prefers chinese hot and sour... :)
Thank you KJ, for staying and nurturing the heartland. And my insane fire personality probably needs some slow, steady breathing:)...
And welcome Juju! I'll be looking up that Overmeyer play, sounds cool...(Mr. Coffee...*snort,chuckle*)
A fun site I was turned onto, this guy does amazing chalk sidewalk art:

Have fun!
Sorry to disappoint you, but I got the chicken soup with egg noodles from a can. :-) There was a sale.
But, there was that time I combined some leftover salsa sauce with some cuppa soup mix and hot water. That actually came out quite excellent, I thought. And good for the cold. Plus, I think I added something else I found in the fridge, but I forget what it was, so you may be relieved to hear that it was a unrepeatable experience.
Oh, speaking of the heartland, yesterday I drove behind a Chevy Van that sported:
1 Roadrunner sticker
2 Harley Davidson stickers
1 Lounging woman decal
1 Confererate flag sticker
1 Peace symbol sticker
OMG - we've got those here in Eastern Washington too. And the serious pickup trucks . . . huge knobby tires, 4-wheel drive, need a stepladder to climb into, usually have off-road bikes in the back or four wheelers . . plus the same sort of decals! Oh yah, almost always have a flag or those ribbon thingys on 'em!
Haven't made chicken soup in a long time. Used to make chicken and dumplings once in awhile. If I use chicken now, it's in Phad Thai (you know, the box mix kind . . .) :-)
I've been making chicken stock from scratch for several years now. I always buy whole chickens from farmers I know. Sometimes they sell the feet, backs or necks, which I also buy. The gelatin in the feet is excellent for the joints (and other areas of the body that escape me at the moment).
You can read my short meditation on cooking here.
Remember: "Good broth will resurrect the dead."
Joe you are a wonder. A cook!
Chicken soup, i've nothing to add.
For me it's clam chowder if i'm sick. Oddly, it's the only thing, will do wonders, and i make exceptional clam chowder.
Miso too.
Really tseka? Not rubbery!!!
Remember: "Good broth will resurrect the dead."
LOL I like that! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful savory meditation. Mm-mmm.
I LOVE Chinese hot and sour!!!!!!!!!!!
I go insane!

Ooh, seafood. Tomatoey or creamy?

Good to know just in case I ever get old.
My absolute favorites are curried lentil soup and black bean.
OH ... MY ... GOD
JM, you ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS, but as I was sitting here at my computer clicking on the bookmark to your page with one hand, the other hand was holding. . .
A BOWL OF CHICKEN SOUP.
Homemade, although unfortunately not with homemade stock. When I'm in a hurry, I use "Better Than Bouillon" in a jar. When I lived in France, I made it from scratch, because, like Joe, I was able to get chickens and parts from producers I knew. Pacific's organic chicken broth in the aseptic pack is also pretty good if you're short on time.
I make my chicken soup like beef stew, only with chicken. That is, I chop up the chicken in big chunks (usually thighs), brown it in good olive oil and garlic, add some white wine -- this time the last of the bottle of pino grigio I was drinking at your party -- and let it simmer for a while. Then I add the broth and veggies: lots of onion, whole baby carrots, red bell peppers, new red potatoes, and celery. I save celery tops especially to put in my chicken soup. For seasoning, a bay leaf or two, some fresh-ground black pepper, a pinch of oregano or Italian seasoning, and a pinch of coriander. Sometimes I add a little corn starch to thicken it, but it's really optional.
I made a big pot last weekend and took it with me to work everyday for lunch. This is the last bowl. T
And get this: Today I went to Trader Joe's to get the ingredients to make CLAM CHOWDER. That's tomorrow's project. Manhattan-style (since I'm allergic to dairy).
Tomatoey?
Remember me the svenska? is there such as thing as Tomatoey? I guess you mean Manhattan style, that'd make sense....
Chowder is whatever; fresh limpets, herring, halibut cheeks though i guess that's gourmet now, and NOT rubbery. Delicious.
For soup i tend to like white bean and black olive. Soup is big at my house in winter, always a pot on the woodstove. Not too far away now.
At the moment i'm chewing off the legs of a small licorice scottie, gift of a local cat who got another life from homeopathy instead of the lethal injection the vet offered. I'm enjoying everybite, too good for words, came from some online place in Vermont.mmmmmmm mmmmmmm cats really know how to love their doctor.
OMG Pat you cook with coriander too? I used to grow it - for the seed of course. ( big Swedish ingredient) When i came to California and people were buying the leaf (cilantro) i was stunned, "you eat this?" all those years i was throwing it in the compost pile.
The coincidences are coming faster and furiouser...
Oh My God In Heaven.
No!!!!!!!!!!
Oh My God right here on earth!
Cilantro! my favorite in the universe, along with cumin. I am fascinated by what spices we like and what this reveals about ourselves. Spices are like live entities. So mysterious. A road to China was built especially for them.
The French use "coriandre" for both the seed and leaf. Actually, so do the British. They say "fresh coriander" to distinguish. When I made Mexican food for my friends in France, I had to search all over to find it, as they just don't use it in their cooking.
Coriander, both seed and leaf, is a natural antidepressant. Tseka, did you know that?
Oh, and on the subject of cats. . .
Does anyone remember my one-eyed kitty? He has disappeared. I suspect someone called Animal Rescue. But he has now been replaced by a kitty with NO VOICE. She opens her mouth to meow, and a weak little click comes out.
She shows up every morning on my deck, and I've been feeding her. She is getting rounder and rounder, and I fear that it's not because she's been eating so well at my house. She is desperately trying to befriend me, and I can't help but think that it's a survival tactic -- i.e., she wants to be able to come inside. I feel terrible. It's not place, and what would I do with a litter of kittens???
HA HA HA!!!
Coriander, both seed and leaf, is a natural antidepressant
No wonder I love it.
"Coriander, both seed and leaf, is a natural antidepressant. Tseka, did you know that?"
No i didn't, makes sense why the Swedes use so much of it....every little bit helps when the sun goes away...
Don't know how you feel about this Pat but if you like her, want to keep her, you may still be able to get her spayed if she is not too far advanced in a pregnancy.
Oops, that was supposed to be "it's not MY place." (I'm subletting until I get my own apartment).
Sorry to hear about ole one-eye, on the other hand maybe he found a home, he was a charmer...
Cilantro/coriander . . yum!! I have some new fresh plants coming up along with new dill plants in our garden. I threatened dire consequences if those got tilled up!! Love fresh coriander in Mexican dishes... some serious cooks here, Joe, of course, is head chef. Someone told me long ago Scorpio's were the best cooks. Can't swear to that but do now when we decide to do something, we go whole hog! Pat, just put living in France together your interest in good food.... duh!! The French are SERIOUS about food.
Chicken soup w/lots of fresh vegetables, a leeetle chili & cilantro . . . hmmmm :-)
I plan on tracking down some decent white fish & making a Finnish fish soup w/lots & lots of fresh dill and butter. The fish is poached in chicken stock, removed and the onion, potatoes & dill are simmered together until tender, then the fish is boned & put back into the pot. Served w/more fresh dill & butter!!
I wouldn't have any problem getting her spayed -- and she IS a very sweet little thing. I'm a little concerned only because having a cat could be a liability. Because I'm subletting, I might not get much notice when it's time to move, and having pets reduces the options in these parts.
So I don't know. . .
"I am fascinated by what spices we like and what this reveals about ourselves. Spices are like live entities. So mysterious. A road to China was built especially for them."
A painter friend at college told me that if he had to give up one sense (of the classic five), he'd give up smell. I think I shocked him greatly when I said I'd rather give up sight than my sense of smell.
DILL!!!!!! My other favorite herb. Especially in fall in winter. I put it in potato salad and also make potato soup with it.
I've also made gravlax from scratch with it. I got the recipe from a Swedish cookbook that I stole from a priest. Don't even ask. . .
I think I shocked him greatly when I said I'd rather give up sight than my sense of smell.
By farrrrrrrrrrr.
You can't taste anything but sweet, salty, bitter, and sour without smell. It would be the worst.
I've heard tell that sight is the easiest to be without.
Oh, and I just remembered that my homeopath told me that tincture of cilantro detoxifies heavy metals.
But he has now been replaced by a kitty with NO VOICE. She opens her mouth to meow, and a weak little click comes out.
This stopped me in my tracks. There is some information here. Our silence discussion and the cyberspace silent voice we are discovering.
The click of the cosmic teletype. Though not weak here.
Mmmm. I'm not really a cook, but my chicken soup came out really good. What I liked was that every different vegetable was cooked just right, not too mushy and not too crunchy. Vegetable integrity.
I love cilantro too. I had a boyfriend for a while (Hungarian) who hated cilantro. He also hated licorice, coconut, and perfume. And lipstick. I shoulda known it wouldn't work out.
"When i came to California and people were buying the leaf (cilantro) i was stunned, "you eat this?"...LOL! I was just starting my not-so-illustrious food career when cilantro became the 'herb to try' in california cuisine. We all thought it smelled like stinky feet at first. Got over that one really fast tho...glad to know it works for depression.
Joe- really envy you the chicken farmer connection. Wish I could get absolutely fresh chix like that. I'm just a nut for saving all the bones for stock whenever I roast a chicken off, it's a scotch frugal thing I suppose :)...
Gravlox...mmm. Used to make that too at another place. I love dill. I roast potato wedges that have been parboiled then tossed with olive oil, salt pepper and dill. Tarragon's good too...
"He also hated licorice, coconut, and perfume. And lipstick. I shoulda known it wouldn't work out."
With these indicators, who needs a compatibility chart?
holy smoke, Juju it's a shock that you can call him a boyfriend" even in past tense with that list, especially the licorice! He'd be an aquaintance at best. Someone i once knew....or there was a man i met...
I love cilantro too. I had a boyfriend for a while (Hungarian) who hated cilantro. He also hated licorice, coconut, and perfume. And lipstick. I shoulda known it wouldn't work out.
LOL!!!!!!!!!
My mother was Hungarian and she liked lipstick but couldn't get it on her mouth straight. It was all over and around her lips!
Yah, JM, I figured that "kitty with no voice" was a message of somce kind -- especially following right on the heels of the kitty with half sight. I mean, it's just too bizarre, don't you think?
juno, Eric Overmyers play was called On the Verge or The Geography of Yearning. Here's a link to a very old review:
http://theater2.nytimes.com/mem/theater/treview.html?res=9A0DE2DE123FF937A25756C0A960948260
They compare him to Stoppard -- though no one matches Stoppard's wit. I love the phrase, The Geography of Yearning.
Yeah, I'd never part with my sense of smell. Funny, but I can often tell whether or not I will get along with someone by their smell, if that makes any friggin' sense. I remember reading somewhere that something like 60% of humans have nearly no sense of smell, it's a sense we're evolving out of because we don't use it as much or something. I guess that's why so many people can eat the junk they do (most of which is either sweet or salty and strongly flavored...)
Absolute friggin' sense.
Supposedly all attraction is based on it. It comes largely from the hair and the base of the neck.
That's horseshit about the sense of smell, speaking of smell.
"My mother was Hungarian and she liked lipstick but couldn't get it on her mouth straight. It was all over and around her lips!" LOL!
Is that why Myrtle Rae's lipstick looks a little crooked? Or is she like my mom, who always tried to put it on when she was driving?....
No!! It took her NINE driving tests to get her license. She always had different colored doors on her cars because of the dents and all. No way could she put lipsick on while driving. She was safe though as were her passengers. Thank god.
I remember reading somewhere - maybe Diane Ackerman, Natural History of the Senses - that the human brain evolved out of the gland behind the nose.
Then there's another theory that the human brain was able to evolve because humans hooked up with dogs to hunt. Because the dogs took over in the smell department, the human brain was able to evolve into other functions.
Smell, by the way, is attributed to Pisces. How many Pisces do you know who have an uncanny sense of smell? And think about it. A fish in water navigates entirely by it.
It all makes sense to me :-)
the human brain evolved out of the gland behind the nose.
Omg. What a thought. Hearing and smell are connected, and all to memory. I think they are our best navigational tools. The sense and instinct of these are always right and bypass the intellect. The Brain/gland connection is absolutely fascinating.
I wonder if my Hungarian didn't like all those things (except the lipstick) possibly because his sense of smell was very acute. But he was a Taurus.
Taurus!
They are all about the world of the senses. Of course.
he's right. Perfume has alcohol and all kinds of unpleasant chemicals.
Interesting comment about the perfume, JM.
I'm one of those boring people who can't tolerate perfume. If for some reason I'm forced to walk through the fragrance section at a department store, my eyes are itching and watering and my nose is closed up by the time I get to the other side.
There are only two commercial perfumes I can wear, one of which is no longer available in this country. Several years ago, I found a great perfume shop in San Jose, run by a Frenchwoman. I told her all of this, and she said that the two perfumes I mentioned are made from wine alcohol (one's French, the other is Italian), rather than petroleum-based alcohol, which is what most commercial perfumes use.
So while the Hungarian loses points for hating coconut and licorice, he gets a few extra for hating perfume. And who knows, maybe he didn't like lipstick because of the fragrance in it. The commercial ones put nasty perfume in it. Of course, I can't wear those, either (Hauschka and Aveda are my faves, they use natural essential oils).
"Hearing and smell are connected, and all to memory."
Something to do with memory, yes -- and I told him so, too! But it was just an intuition that a lot more would be lost than the ability to smell food.
I have all kinds of reactions to perfume. I can't wear it. It smells good from a distance or some scents on others, but when I wear it, it makes me sick. Except outside with the mixture of air.
There are alluring scents that even can create obsessive desire. Makes you want to follow them. But the mixing chemicals ruin the whole experience. There is too much in them. too confusing for the smell.
Smell is so important. the nose really wants to know.
he didn't know what he was talking about.
Because of my unusual hearing, I think I also have acute smell. I do believe we can smell our enemies before we recognize the fact elsewhere.
The memory everyone knows. And associations are infinite with every single sniff.
I think it has to do with hormonal reaction and then emotional. Smell bypasses the visual part of the cortex, probably effects mood and other things more.
"I'm one of those boring people who can't tolerate perfume. If for some reason I'm forced to walk through the fragrance section at a department store, my eyes are itching and watering and my nose is closed up by the time I get to the other side."
Interesting! I tend to dislike perfumes, too, but not nearly so bad as that.
Makes you want to follow them. But the mixing chemicals ruin the whole experience.
Reminds me of the Thomas Dolby tune, "She Blinded Me with Science." When I'm dancing close to her/I can smell the chemicals.
"There are alluring scents that even can create obsessive desire. Makes you want to follow them."
Oh, gee. Eventually, they're gonna start marketing pheromone laden perfumes. Hmm...could be made into a Weapon of Mass Desire, ha ha.
Good one Pat.
Interesting dynamic. The attraction/repulsion mixed message that goes on in every physical human intereaction.
Thus the oddity of cyberspace.
Freedom from smell!!!!
I can wear perfume and Pat's eyes will never itch.
Eventually, they're gonna start marketing pheromone laden perfumes.
I think they already do. Or they're trying to.
Weapon of Mass Desire
Hell's Bells.
Well there's perfume then, there is real perfume, Lavender oil soap from provence, mmmmmmmm, and lavender from my garden. Forget the lipstick, far as i'm concerned, but i may be missing some female gene there...i never caught on to the cosmetic thing...shopping either, failed miserably.
That everlovin' female gene!
I lost it too. All I want to do with make-up is wash it off.
However, when I smoked, and one day looked into the mirror at my sallow aging face I decided to blush my cheeks. I am pink and rosy again after quitting but I still dab a dot of rose on my little cheeks.
The female gene lurks!!!
I don't know how I got the girlie gene. Maybe Venus near the Ascendant? But she's in Capricorn, for crying out loud. Of course, that would explain why all of the makeup I own could fit into a ziplock freezer bag and why I've been using the same eyeliner pencil for five years.
About a month ago, I wasn't feeling well and went into work an hour late. Someone commented that I didn't look sick. I responded that a little eyeliner and lipstick works wonders and that he should try it sometime :-)
haha Pat! but you look very beautiful with those tulips!
apparently a ziplock bag is all you need?
all of the makeup I own could fit into a ziplock freezer bag and why I've been using the same eyeliner pencil for five years.
LOL!!!!
I think Venus in Cap often does well with make-up. the sculpturing building desire of Cap can work with Venus to create class and beauty.
And the social structue that at this point depends on women looking 'nice'.
Can't have everyone like my Hungarian mother with her outlandish fashions and lipstick on her eyebrow!
Thanks, Tseka! In fact, that's as much makeup as I ever wear, even for going out in the evening, and it rarely takes me more than 5 minutes to put it on.
A couple of days ago I was in the ferry line and saw a woman using an EYELASH CURLER! It's one thing to discreetly pull out a mirror and touch up your lipstick, but this girl was contorting her face and applying this torture device, in full public view. THAT is a serious girlie gene -- not to mention a seriously afflicted Venus.
FYI, she also was perilously perched on high heels. Truly, I was afraid that she would poke her eye out, lose her balance, fall over, and break an ankle.
LOL!
That makes perfect sense.
Eyelash curlers, man.
There can be almost a Zen about applying make-up. I watch the girls with fascination at my health club. They are charming in their underwear with all their tools.
I like it when done with taste. It's a means of self expression and can really be beautiful to the observer. An art.
About a month ago, I wasn't feeling well and went into work an hour late. Someone commented that I didn't look sick. I responded that a little eyeliner and lipstick works wonders and that he should try it sometime :-)
LOL!!! Ah yes, the joys of camouflage.... I'm pretty good at applying makeup, too much Libra/Venus in 1st. One of the Sabian symbols in my chart speaks of protective coloration & blending in.
Definitely noticed increased acuity in my sense of smell since quitting smoking 4 1/2 yrs ago. Still am a very visual person, much more than auditory.
Protective coloration. Interesting.
Hee, hee, I admit, I do have one girly bone in my body...I do use a bit of lipstick and an occasional bit of concealer. It MUST be that venus cap, Pat, my ziploc of old makeup seems to go a long way. I do enjoy wearing make-up when I'm dressed to the nines, in that case tho, it's sort of a fun dress-up thing. I've also been known to dye my hair purple on occasion ;)...That's only once in a while, I don't feel comfortable wearing full makeup everyday. Perfume, forget it. Used to bug the hell out of me, especially when I used to commute a lot by bus and BART. Stuck in an enclosed place with "White Shoulders"...yuck, instant headache. Essential oil is better, blends in better with one's natural scent.
NEITH! I wondered when we'd hear from the Libra!
I agree, JM, that makeup can be a form of self-expression, and for that reason, I think all women should dress, paint, and adorn as they please. Just as I argued in favor of high heels. I'd prefer that women didn't hurt themselves for some culturally imposed idea of beauty, but even that is an individual choice.
I agree Pat. It's a marvelous form of self expression and can be done all the time.
I love clothes most of all.
Stuck in an enclosed place with "White Shoulders"...yuck, instant headache.
HA HA, Juno! For me, it's anything by Calvin Klein. Obsession makes me obsessed with getting the hell away from whoever is wearing it.
Poison is another. Don't know if y'all remember that one. I was on a business trip in Europe when it was launched there (ahead of the U.S.) and spritzed myself on the wrist at the airport duty free shop. The dang stuff got into my METAL watchband and the cuff of my trench coat. Since I was traveling, I was stuck with it, and I had a squeeze in my head for three days.
That said, there are some essential oils that can be pretty obnoxious, too. Too much patchouli makes me want to throw up. I wouldn't want to be next to someone on BART with that, either.
If everyone smelled like chicken soup -- or even garlic, or onions, or cumin -- I could live with that.
I'm with the rest of you on the perfume thing. Imagine being stuck in a car w/cheap Avon perfume . . ick!! Lavender oil, really good sandalwood, and other essential oils in small quantities aren't bad. Every once in awhile I'll run into someone wearing Patchouli . . . the favorite of the '70's!!
It's the Sabian symbol for 14 degrees Pisces (my IC) that deals with protective coloration.
Obsession makes me obsessed with getting the hell away from whoever is wearing it.
Yeah!
Then they get on these jags and everyone is wearing the same cologne.
A lot of the essential oils are disgusting.
Did you ever hug someone and afterwards spend hours trying to get the perfume off? Gets in the clothes. Sometimes I can't locate it. Nervewracking.
Pat, you listed two of the most evil perfumes I've ever gagged on - Obsession & Poison! The latter is very well named . . . simply awful.
Did you ever hug someone and afterwards spend hours trying to get the perfume off? Gets in the clothes. Sometimes I can't locate it. Nervewracking.
One of the reasons I've been know to avoid being touched by individuals wearing some godawful scent....probably very funny to watch... :-)
Oh! Oh! Cheap Avon.
I do have to admit, though, that my Leo got a bottle of this stuff called Xyrius, and it was wonderful. Just one of those things.
Intersting to see what names people choose to wear.
"If everyone smelled like chicken soup -- or even garlic, or onions, or cumin -- I could live with that." I love it, we should market that! Every one should smell yummy!
I do understand about patchouli. I think patchouli should come with very explicit instructions and possibly a bio-hazard suit in case of overdose. However I've met a few people who could wear it and smelled delightful when they did. I'm a sandalwood girl myself. It's one of my few expensive indulgences. One of those Leo 'I want the best' things. I love lavender as well...when I get a headache (...from the perfume:)...), I rub lavender oil or flowers on my temples and the back of my neck...instant relief....
If I had the money to wear real rose, I'd do it...:)
Maybe when Pluto gets to your Venus, Juno. Hasn't helped me any though in the cash department. It's going to take an undiscovered planet to beam me down some bread.
Rose is lovely, and the oil has skin-healing properties as well.
You're right, of course, Juno, that some people can wear certain oils better than others. It's all body chemistry -- and astrology, too. I'll bet the people you knew who wore patchouli well had a lot of fire in their charts.
My Sabian Symbol book is at the office. I'll have to look it up on Monday (I've got the long versions).
JM, I do believe that the planet to beam you bread would be Ceres, goddess of the wheat. Not only is she already discovered, but she's getting a lot more attention these days :-)
Can't believe it's so late. I'm still needing a lot of sleep these days, so it's off to bed. Besides, I have a big day in the kitchen tomorrow making clam chowder.
C'MON DOWN CERES!
HA HA! Clam chowder!
'night Pat. It was wonderful having you aboard this wild boat. You do know how to party.
G' night Pat, thanks for chatting!
I think we ought to get used to thinking in terms of many planets. Pluto seems to be pluto no matter what the astromomers designate. Paths are just going to have to diverge here as well, their science going one way, and this one another. I found a cool article at spaceweather about how many of what we call 'asteroids' were originally considered planets. Ceres was one of those...

article:
18 PLANETS: Have you ever heard of the planet Hygea? It's listed in the 1850 Annual of Scientific Discovery along with 17 other planets:
Courtesy Joe Pollock, Appalachian State University. [full text]
In those days, large asteroids such as Hygea, Ceres and Vesta were widely deemed planets. They appeared so in textbooks and scientific journals. Adding asteroids to the other known planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, gave a grand total of 18. Imagine the mnemonic: "My Very Educated [insert ten adjectives here] Mother Just Served Us Noodles."
The asteroids were eventually demoted. It was a long, drawn-out affair, marked by decades of disagreement and confusion. (Sound familiar?) By 1900, however, order was restored to the Solar System: the planet count was down to eight.
I think you're right Juno. That's what I think Pluto just did. Transformed astrology. It will be awhile, but I expect to see changes.
Along with this predictive sorrow and hocus pocus fatalistic tragedy. That's going down the toilet.
just wait till people see how this political situation REALLY works out.
The one thing I've noticed throughout life is how confused the experts are.
JM, thanks for the intro back a couple of threads ago. I'm still here... really. I'm just trying to catch up on everything, between work and all. You have such a dynamic group here! ;-)
How true. Well I had a brilliant post I was working on, by my furshlugginer cats just unplugged the computer and I lost it all...It's probably time I went to bed any way...G'night, hugs and smoochies, all! Great sitting up chatting with you...
Not 'by', 'but', jeebus, I am tired...
Juno. you're funny.
Neo! How wonderful that you stopped by. It's been wild but things will calm down...a little. I sense some excitement in the air for the country with Jupiter going into Sag.
I think people here are doing the equal and opposite from torture, terror, and war. Life dictates. Equilibrium is a constant. I don't want another morsel of terror. Enough.
I wonder what Kad's got planned for breakfast. It could be Cheerios, or it could be eggs over easy.
Out of eggs, so today it was pretzels, and a vanilla flavored soy drink. :-)
But it'll be oriental noodles and, uh, anonymous fowl for lunch.
Anonymous fowl.
The best kind.
