Thinks I find along the way
I’ll be thinking about experimenting with this all day… Thanks! Don’t forget — perfect popcorn is fundamental to this recipe. Learn how here; http://shine.yahoo.com/in-the-pantry/perfect-popcorn-step-step-photos-160900814.html What they don’t mention is that you should pull the pan off the heat for 30 seconds after you add the popcorn and then resume. Trust me…
Salivating…and if this wasn’t enough for you – check out Fabio’s Popcorn with Parmesan & Pancetta. Mouthwatering!
As an aside, did you hear about the two dyslexic philosophers who stayed up all night arguing the existence of dog?
As soon as I click publish, I’ll skip a shower, but on 4 pieces of light clothing, gather my gear and get on my bike for the 3.3 mile ride to work. Once I get there, I’ll meditate, do a little yoga and have breakfast. No getting kids off to school, no drama, no nothing. Just a nice morning. Some moments are easier to be present in than others… :-D
Oh, Jen. How nice to see that you still write from time to time. :-D
Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things. Do not be concerned with loss or gain. Love the world as your own Self; then you can truly care for all things.
~Lao Tsu~
Simple, but not easy…
It’s amazing to me that Epictetus had this nailed in 100 CE and yet we each need to discover this in our own lives…
Epictetus (AD 55–135) was a Greek sage and philosopher. He was born a slave in present day Turkey, and lived in Rome until his banishment, when he went to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece for the rest of his life. Philosophy, Epictetus taught, is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are determined by fate, and are thus beyond our control; we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline. Suffering occurs from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power. As part of the universal city that is the universe, it is our duty to care for all our fellow men. Those who follow these precepts will achieve happiness and peace of mind. (Source: Wiki)
Don’t get me wrong — I love my cat more than my dog, but there’s some truth in this…
Bright, shiny objects!
