The Franco-American Kitchen
The kitchen is arguably the most important room to past generations of Francos. It is where the entire family, or even extended family meets at days end and enjoys each others company and the bountiful meal at hand. The atmosphere is always festive, no matter the occasion and the memories are always clear in the mind.
My father Norman Poulin grew up in the area of Augusta known as Sand Hill. This was a neighborhood that forty years ago was almost 100% Franco and mostly made of tenement buildings. My father had an older sister and a younger sister. While not being dirt poor, the family didnt have a whole lot of money and what they did have strictly went to household necessities. Food was obviously the big one here. My father would go onto say that regardless of how his day was at school, coming home to a home cooked meal made it all worth it.
By no means was the kitchen only for eating. From back in my dads time and still going on today, many games were played in the kitchen. It didnt matter if it was a Monday or Friday, youd see classic games like gin rummy and cribbage at the table.
Although any night could be a festivity in itself, the holidays were clearly the most. During Thanksgiving or Christmas, the meals were bigger, the songs were sung louder and laughs lasted even longer. And these events were never in the living room. They always had to take place in the kitchen.
My Pépère had a different outlook on the kitchen. It was a place of relaxation for him. He said I woke up each day at 2:30 and came home around 5. My bowl of spaghetti with a salad or meat and potatoes was all I thought about. I cant blame him at all for thinking this was and I was personally glad to hear a different perspective on the kitchen.
My aunt Lisa said to me that the kitchen was home. At first I was puzzled but she later elaborated that the kitchen was the one where everything and everyone came together. Whether it is was supper on Wednesday or brunch on Sunday with her COUNTLESS aunts and uncles. She would also say that the living room was merely a place to wind down and get ready for bed. Id have to say thats quite the contrast now.
The kitchen has unfortunately lost a lot of allure in the modern day. In my generation today the festivities still exist, but exclusively for holidays and birthdays now. In my family we all eat together, but it is in the living room with MSNBC or ESPN on. The role of family is still very important in this day and age, but the intimacy factor has definitely gone away. We still enjoy a hearty meal and each others presence but things are not the same. My Mémère says that this is so because most Franco households arent in the dire straights as they were in my day. In my time what we had was much more appreciated and was never taken for granted. In fact, we celebrated all the things we had.
It is unlikely that todays generation can recapture the intimacy that the kitchen once possessed. In our technological society that would be too optimistic. The best thing to do is use the oral history we have presented to us by our elders and always keep it in mind. With that we can still have our own kitchens.

Music, Harnessing Nature
Monday, August 15, 2011
In his new book, "Harnessed," author and neuroscientist Mark Changizi argues that humans aren't particularly wired for speech or music. Instead, he theorizes that over time we've simply developed a culture that "harnesses" nature. Mark joins us in the studio to discuss the evolutionary process that would connect approaching footsteps to Beethoven's symphonies.

Top stitch the neckband, if desired. Cut a 1/8-inch notch in the centre of the neckband. Attach one side of the neckband to the right side of body of the shirt.

I know every now and then somebody has to stand up and tell everybody else that Kate Upton is overrated. It happens to everybody when they reach the pinnacle of the sextastic industry. And while I ever shy away from superlatives and naming the best of anything, if Kate Upton doesn't cause your naughty imagination to run wild, you do need to get your fantasy box checked for malfunction.
Kate Upton works it hard, whether in candid bikinis or at the height of fashion looking all stunning and cleavetastic on the pages of Vogue. I can see why photographers want to work with her so badly. I can also see why the job of towel boy in her entourage has such a long list, for which I'm told there are only twenty-six people ahead of me at the moment. She's got the goods. Overrated? I suppose anything technically can be too hyped. I'd sure like to see how Kate Upton feels about it all as we share a nekkid cocktail together in the jacuzzi I don't have. Enjoy.

I'm wondering if it might be considered a collector's item as a rare defect - to have two pocket tabs, one on the left pocket AND one on the right pocket. If not, I have no problem wearing as is. It's not that...

from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License
- n. Application of a mustard plaster
from the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English
- n. A plaster or poultice composed principally of powdered mustard seed, or containing the volatile oil of mustard seed. It is a powerful irritant.

- n. a plaster containing powdered black mustard; applied to the skin as a counterirritant or rubefacient
from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
It is the black Mustard which yields by its seeds the condiment of our tables, and the pungent yellow flour which we employ for the familiar stimulating poultice, or sinapism.
The sinapism which the doctor ordered was applied to the hepatic region, and a small dose of calomel was administered.
The sinapism will draw the current of the circulation to the exterior, the metastasis to the lungs or intestines is prevented, and the enfeebled nervous system is stimulated to renewed vigor by the peripheral irritation.
"Well! the Dujarrier was right," she said; "a woman's scheming works easier than a sinapism."
If two pods of aji, steeped in warm vinegar, are laid as a sinapism on the skin, in the space of a quarter of an hour the part becomes red, and the pain intolerable; within an hour the scarf-skin will be removed.
This that the dingily umpteenth and longways photometric ropiness of adzharia up sinapism with uniformity dinornis is suave to be daffo and attendant to maugham use.
"On the doctors' orders, a hospital steward from Lincoln Hospital, a nearby military facility, sprinted from the bedside and returned with hot water, brandy, blankets, and a large sinapism, or mustard plaster."
