csa box:: week 14
csa box week 14:: lovage, parsley, onions, bell & banana peppers, acorn & butternut squash, sweet potatoes, head lettuce, kale, garlic, broccoli and a few tomatoes
extras, week 14:: butternut squash, onions, dill, parsley, mushrooms, leeks
It seems like this year would have been a good growing year - hot and wet - but we've been feeling like we are missing some things this year in our CSA boxes. Very very (very) few tomatoes, not many herbs, and no beans! It is interesting to see how things change from year to year!

sunflower butter cookies.
Peanut butter cookies are a favorite in this house, but today we wanted something different...sunflower butter cookies! I adapted our favorite tried and true PB cookie recipe and sure enough, super delicious - slightly crispy with a little chewiness. Perfect! We will definitely make these again.
1 c. unsalted butter, room temp
1 c. creamy sunflower butter (a nut butter would be fine too!!)
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. sugar (I used raw sugar)
2 eggs
1 Tbsp molasses
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 c. finely ground whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp finely ground sea salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
Cream together the butter, nut butter and sugars. Then beat in the eggs, molasses and extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Stir that into the batter. Mix well and then refrigerate for a bit.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork - classic peanut butter cookie pattern.
Bake at 375ºF for about 10-11 minutes or so. Cool on a rack.
sunflower seeds/butter:: In addition to linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid), sunflower seeds are also an excellent source of dietary fiber, some amino acids, Vitamin E, B Vitamins (especially vitamin B1 or thiamine, vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid and folate), and minerals such as copper, manganese, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, selenium, calcium and zinc. Additionally, they are rich in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols!

red raspberry time.
They are here! While just beginning to ripen, I see a lot of red raspberries in our future. Jams, jellies, frozen...
I love how easy raspberries are to grow, how little space you really need for a decent return, and how delicious they are picked right from your own back yard. Yum.

CSA Box:: Week 9
Another week another great box!
In the box this week:: watermelon, beets, cucumber, banana & jalapeno peppers, summer squash/zucchini, a variety of tomatoes, sweet corn, carrots, lettuce, garlic
extras:: onions, garlic, parsley, mushrooms, and...a case of tomatoes
While I didn't necessarily like our previous CSA farm any less just because the pickup was at a delivery point in town (someones garage), for me there is just something more substantial and more real to picking up right at the farm. I always love walking through the barn, counting or weighing each item, and putting it into my box. The boys help me with the box, weigh things, write on the chalkboard, chat with the farm person, and hunt for bugs in the flowers. And each week we can see what 'extras' are available - garlic, onions, pickling cucumbers, sweet corn, tomatoes - always enough for canning and preserving!
This week we picked up a case of tomatoes - cracked/ripe. As soon as we got home I rinsed them all off, cored them, and popped them into my large canning pot to simmer away.
We have a lot of tomatoes growing in our garden, but with a small yard never enough to make everything we want for the winter, so we always pick up extras. We make pizza sauce, ketchup, pasta sauce, caponata, and more. And as we go through the end of the season we freeze diced tomatoes, make lots of salsa and can whole tomatoes. There is something very satisfying about going from garden or farm to pot to canning jar. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way, and that I am not the only one who had tomato seeds plastered all over the kitchen this week. :) Ahhh, summer!
What is in your CSA box this week? What are you harvesting from your garden?

home made vanilla extract.
One of the easiest things to make at home is vanilla extract. Most recipes call for the more common use of vodka and vanilla beans to make vanilla extract. While that makes a liquid that tastes just like what you buy at the store, I like making mine with dark rum. The rich aroma and mild sweetness really adds a nice fat vanilla essence to baked goodies. It is very very easy, and after you make your own, you won't ever want to buy bottles from the store again!
I make it in small batches, but you can easily double/triple if you want.
1 cup good quality dark rum (you can use a lighter rum if you prefer)
2 whole fresh vanilla beans
pint canning jar & lid
Put the rum into your canning jar. Slice the vanilla pods in half, and remove the seeds with the edge of your knife. Add the seeds to the jar. Plop the vanilla pod right into the jar alongside what you scraped off. Put the lid on the jar, and shake hard. Label the lid and put a date on it and place it in a dark cabinet at room temp. Let sit for a month minimum, shaking it from time to time. After a month, I start using it - and I keep the pods in the jar so that the flavor continues to develop. The flavor intensifies if you let it sit longer (3 months+). You can wait longer before using, but I find that I get the full vanilla extract aroma in a month or two!
I like the organic vanilla beans from Mountain Rose Herbs. They are plump and moist - not the hard dried out things you find at your grocery store - and their prices are great!

rum cherry compote.
I have a sweet surprise to share with you. One of my favorite summer fruits is cherries. We always buy both sweet and sour cherries when they are in season - to eat fresh, can, and freeze. We have made this a few times already in the past few weeks...it is so good over pound cake (my favorite combo was over coconut pound cake - oh yes), with ice cream, and would be great with a good pancake. This is an adult cherry reduction that is oh, so, good.
I started by pitting and slicing in half about 1 cup of sweet cherries. Put them in a canning jar, add about 1 Tbsp of honey or a raw sugar, and fill just to cover the cherries with dark rum. I added the seeds and pod of 1/3 a vanilla bean - you could also just add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Let soak for a few hours.
Pour the mixture in a small saucepan, and turn heat to high. Bring it to a boil and keep it rolling for a minute or two. Turn down to medium (stir!), and let simmer for another 7-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it - it should be simmering, not boiling. This cooks off the alcohol a bit, softens the cherries, and reduces the liquid to a nice syrupy consistency.
Let cool a little and serve! There is a nice round aroma of the rum, but without any alcohol mouth burn. Such a rich cherry flavor - and not too sweet. Enjoy!

in the kitchen.
While I love trying new recipes and often do, for a lot of my canning and fermenting, I do still rely on my trusted/tested recipes. Here are a few things we are making this summer, which I have made many times before.
lacto-fermented pickles:
Not vinegar based, nice and crunchy, mildly salty, not twangy like vinegar pickles.lacto-fermented garlic::
I basically use the recipe from Nourishing Traditions. Take up to about 12 heads of garlic, remove the outer skin and then bake the cloves in an oven until the rest of the skin can easily be removed. The garlic is not mushy soft, but slightly soft and aromatic and beginning to look less opaque. Put the cloves in a clean jar. Mix together a few teaspoons of dried herbs (I used dried oregano and rosemary from my garden), 2 teaspoons of sea salt, 2 tablespoons of whey, and about 1/2 cup of water (If you don't have whey, increase salt to 4 tsp). Pour the liquid over the garlic, and add more water if the garlic isn't covered. Screw lid on tightly, keep at room temp for about 2-3 days, then put in the fridge. I crunch on these like they are candy. More mild garlic flavor, and oh so good.refrigerator pickles::
A vinegar based fridge pickle. Great for small batches.purple kraut::
I like having more than one type of kraut, and this is a nice mild version which is great as a side dish.
I have a few recipes coming up that I have promised :: pickled beets, pickled daikon, and freezer pickles!

CSA Box: week 8
With no other clues, I would be able to tell it was August by just the contents of my CSA box. The box, so heavy was practically dragged along, much heavier than I am 'supposed' to carry. Once home, the counters loaded, the dehydrator packed, the fridge full, and pots going to blanch and freeze. CSA day is much more than a pickup, it is also cleaning, sorting, preserving, and planning the week ahead!
In the box this week:: 2 types of onions, cabbage, garlic, beets, summer squash, 2 types of lettuce, banana peppers, green peppers, jalapeno pepper, basil, sweet corn, melon, swiss chard, cucumbers, and many kinds of tomatoes!
We are heading out for a few day 'staycation' so I didn't get much extra this week as I won' t have time for food preservation this weekend. So the only extras are mushrooms, garlic, parsley, and oregano!
What was in your CSA box this week, or what is in season in your garden?

Thursday, August 5, 2010
This is the time of year when we are plucking ripe tomatoes from the vine just about every day, but we are not yet in buckets-full for sauces or canning. There is nothing better than a sliced tomato, warm from the garden, with just a sprinkling of sea salt and a grind of pepper. I often stand at the counter after coming in from the garden, sampling the tomatoes (I love to grow new varieties every year).
As the early weeks go on, I make tomato salads, add tomatoes to dinner, toss together small batches of salsa, and of course start to make panzanella. A Panzenella uses good stale bread, which just soaks up the flavors and cuts the acidity of the tomatoes. It is a perfect summer salad.
To make the 'croutons':
I use bread that is hard - usually a French baguette, or a nice Italian rustic loaf. Slice the bread, lightly coat in olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and toast in a toaster oven for 5 or so minutes. When out of the toaster, cut into cubes (if you don't have a toaster oven, a regular oven set to 350ºF is fine). If you can cut your bread into cubes from the start - go for it. I find that baguettes in particular can be hard to cut when stale, and the toasting with olive oil makes them crispy, but easier to cut.
2 large or 3-4 medium slicing tomatoes, cubed
1 small mild onion, very thinly sliced
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
3 cups of croutons
3-4 Tbsp good balsamic vinegar
5 Tbsp olive oil
Sea salt & pepper to taste
10-15 basil leaves - depending on how big/variety of basil you have, sliced
a few sprigs of parsley, chopped
Make your croutons. While they are in the toaster, cut your tomatoes, garlic and onions and put into a large bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt to get the tomato juices going. Add the balsamic and olive oil. When the croutons are out of the toaster and have cooled, toss them in with the bowl of ingredients. Make sure you toss/stir for a few minutes, to be sure that the croutons are evenly coated in the tomato/oil/vinegar mix. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Let sit for about 10 minutes, stirring here and there. Add the parsley and basil and stir. Taste, and add more salt & pepper to taste. Serve immediately!
Other good additions to a panzanella:: sliced cucumber or peppers.
This is not an exact recipe - depending on how big or how juicy your tomatoes are you can tweak how much vinegar/oil you add to get your bread to soak it up nicely. It should soak in fully, but not have a lot of standing liquid. If your tomatoes are small or more meaty than juicy, just add an extra one!

summer cabbage.
While I love making sauerkraut, when we are getting one head of cabbage at a time in our CSA box I often find that head of cabbage sitting on my counter longer than I would like. One of my favorite recipes that uses that whole cabbage head is my take on a German style Apples & Cabbage. It tastes great as a side dish fresh out of the pot steamy hot, and is also good the next day cold from the fridge.
4 cups thinly sliced red or green cabbage
2 1/2 cups peeled/sliced apples (tart)
1 large sliced red onion
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple cider or beer (I use hard cider)
1 teaspoon fennel seeds & coriander seeds, ground (or you could go more traditional and use caraway seeds)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
pinch of nutmeg
ground fresh pepper to taste
Put the cabbage, apples, onion and cider/beer into a saucepan. Cover and cook on medium heat until everything is tender, about 5-10 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, reduce heat to simmer, and cook another 30 minutes. Add more beer/cider if needed to keep everything from sticking to the pan. Season to taste.
Did you know :: Red cabbage contains a lot more protective phytonutrients than white cabbage, and "The vitamin C equivalent, a measure of antioxidant capacity, of red cabbages is six to eight times higher than that of white cabbage." Red cabbage may be beneficial in prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. In addition to being packed with Vitamin C, red cabbage is a good source of fiber, manganese, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids and a decent source of thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), calcium, potassium, magnesium, and even vitamin A!

CSA Box: week 7
It is sweet corn time in Wisconsin. Huge signs at every road side farm stand, poster board signs at the end of farm driveways, piles of it. It comes for only a few weeks, so we try to stock up enough to freeze for the winter. We love getting it in our CSA box too - so fresh and sweet you can practically eat it raw.
In the box this week: sweet corn, turnips, beets, peppers, cucumbers, summer squash, head lettuce, onions, garlic, cherry tomatoes, slicing tomato, nasturtium blossoms.
Extras this week: mushrooms, garlic, onions, sage, parsley, thyme.

CSA Box.
Oh, I'm behind on my CSA posts! As many of you may know, my back (the one with two herniated discs) went 'out' again and I've been nursing it back to bearable for the past few weeks. I like to eat quick and fresh in the summer to take advantage of just picked produce, but with the back things were even more simplified. We have been having salads and stir-fry - whatever I can make quickly and easily. Of course how much fresher can you get with boxes of organic veggies from our CSA farm or something yummy picked from the garden.
This past weekend I was able to spend some time catching up on small batch fermenting - I have jars of garlic and beets lacto-fermenting on my counter - and made another batch of currant jelly and several quarts of my back healing bone broth. I even have several recipes I tested that turned out great. With several pounds of pickling cucumbers in my fridge, I know what I am doing today as well!
While I do have several recipes to share this week, I want to catch up on my CSA boxes for the past 2 weeks.
CSA Box:: July 8
Beets, broccoli, beans, romaine, head lettuce, spring onions, parsley, peas, garlic, peppers, summer squash, and a pint of raspberries!
CSA box:: July 15
Swiss chard, cucumbers, broccoli, onions, garlic, beets, chives, basil, head lettuce, summer squash, yellow beans.
And, feeling like I could handle more time in the kitchen this week, my extras included dill heads, pickling cucumbers, onions, cabbage, beets and mushrooms.
If you have a CSA, what is in season where you are??

honey balsamic reduction.
Like just about everywhere, we are in the end of the fresh strawberry season. We are not picking enough for any big recipe, but love having a hand full for dessert in the evening. One of my favorite combos is balsamic vinegar, strawberries and whipped cream. It is super simple and so good.
::honey balsamic reduction::
1/4 cup good balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp raw honey
Bring these two to a boil in a pot, reduce heat and simmer until reduced by about half (10 minutes or so). Take off the heat - it will thicken as it cools. Drizzle over fresh strawberries.
My favorite whipped cream is done by hand. I think using a big bowl gives you room for a better stroke and it doesn't take as long when using a whisk. I like to whip about a cup of heavy cream in with the seeds from about one half of a vanilla bean. Just as it is starting to thicken, I add a drizzle of honey and finish whipping to the desired thickness. Add a dollop of this over your balsamic strawberries - oh yes, it is REALLY good.

csa box: week 3
With parks, picnics, bike riding and playing with the neighbors in the alley I didn't post this yesterday.
So, here is our box for this week:: purple beans, basil, spring onions, fresh garlic, romaine, head lettuce, fennel, beets, cabbage, snap peas
I made a veggie soup last night (oh so good) since I had a fridge full of homemade stock. I don't like following a recipe with soups - in particular vegetable soup - I use what I have. Garlic, onions, peas, beets, mushrooms, broccoli, just cut herbs, fresh stock. Nothing else needed but some salt & pepper and a simmer!

csa box: week 2!
We went through our first box quickly - I'm excited to see beets in this box, and while I normally buy as many extra beets as are available each week so I can make my favorite pickled beets, this weekend we have visitors, so I'm trying to keep my workload on the food front down. I have a bunch of fresh herbs and I plan to dry about half of them as well as make a batch of pickled daikon. Yum.
In our box this week:: beets, new garlic, kohlrabi, dill, snap peas, snow peas, broccoli, kale, romaine, leaf lettuce, daikon
My extras this week are:: mix of mushrooms, marjoram, lavender, sage, parsley, bag of basil
We are drying another bunch of lavender to make more goodies -- this week we made lavender bath salts & lavender sugar, and plan to make more of the bath salts as well as lavender honey this week. I think scones are in my future!

garlic scape pesto.
1 cup chopped garlic scapes
4-5 sprigs parsley (or basil)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
sea salt & pepper to taste
juice of 1 lemon
(1/3 cup pine nuts optional)
In your food processor whiz the garlic scapes & parsley together until they lie flat in the bottom (10-15 seconds). Add the olive oil, lemon and Parmesan cheese one at a time until it looks like pesto. ;) You may need to add a bit more oil if you have big scapes. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Some recipes call for pine nuts or walnuts (about 1/4 - 1/3 cup) but I like the base recipe without. Why? I like using this as a base for many things, and it is easier for me to tweak the basic pesto for each recipe!
- Of course it is awesome as a pesto on pasta (if you want the nuts, add roasted pine nuts when you toss it with pasta).
- It makes a great base for salad dressings (just add more olive oil & a squeeze of lemon to thin and toss into your salad).
- It is wonderful as a condiment on burgers/brats/grilled veggies.
- It is a delicious dressing for steamed veggies like peas, swiss chard, spinach, etc. (after steaming, toss in bowl with the pesto...yum).
- It makes a great dip for veggies or pretzels...mix with some fresh sour cream!
- Use it instead of red sauce on pizza.
- Make it using ramps (instead of scapes) in early spring...oh yeah.
I like making a lot of something at a time - it really makes it easier to just get a bunch done at once. From there, I can freeze small batches, store it in canning jars in the fridge, and of course use some immediately for dinner. It is pretty easy to double/triple this recipe during scapes season - we got some in our CSA box, and found them for sale by the bag full at our neighborhood farmer's market!
Scapes are part of the garlic plant, so contain the same health benefits as the cloves, such as immune system booster and inflammation reliever as well as good calcium, vitamin c iron and even protein! They just have a milder flavor than their bulby base.

CSA box :: week one!
It has begun! Today was our first CSA box of the season. I love the farm we get our share from, and just the process of going, picking up our vegetables, saying "hi" to everyone there we haven't seen since last fall, and being outside at the barn...ahhhh, I can finally feel like summer is beginning.
Today in our CSA box::
romaine lettuce, fennel, swiss chard, spring onions, fresh garlic, peas, cilantro, kohlrabi, garlic scapes, fresh flowers, and...
...a bowl full of cherries. yum.
I always pick up a few extras:: kohlrabi, parsley, cilantro, lavender, and nasturtium blossoms.
I love how the garden picks up right when our CSA shares start...I know it is the start of eating a wide variety of fresh veggies and planning meals around what has been picked (or picked up) today - love it!
Tomorrow:: recipe for garlic scape pesto!!!!

Essential Reading for the Serious Songwriter

This past Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear Texas v. USA, a case that could be the most important case of 2016 - and not because this case comes in an election year.
The Background:
In November 2014, President Obama issued an executive order to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that was intended to impact millions of individuals that are in the country without authorization. The purpose behind the order was the recognition that the Federal government does not have the money and other resources to hunt down, arrest and then deport everyone in the country that is here without authorization (even if the government wanted to). Consequently, Obama ordered the DHS to focus its enforcement efforts against certain groups of people, such as those with serious criminal backgrounds. In other words, since DHS can't arrest and deport everyone, they should go after those people that everyone agrees shouldn't be in our country. Makes sense!
Despite what is being spewed from conservatives and other right-wing organizations, Obama's order does not let everyone else "off the hook." For practical purposes, for everyone else, the order essentially means the DHS will come looking for them later - they're just not a priority right now. As a result, understanding that this order would mean that there will be millions of undocumented people in the country that the DHS is not targeting at this time, the order allows these people to come out of the shadows and apply for permission to work legally. Of course being granted permission to work does not give these millions of people any lawful status, but it does create several huge benefits both for the individual and our country.
First, by having to apply for the permission to work, the person is having to provide all of their contact information to the government and if they want to maintain this permission, they will need to constantly file a new application and thus keep their contact information up to date. If the government is ever going to seek to have these people removed, isn't it better to know where they live? Makes sense!
Second, being granted a work authorization permits the person to apply for a social security number. This in turns allows the person's employer to take out taxes from the person's paycheck. The result is now there would be hundreds of thousands of people (millions?) now working and paying taxes. Before, countless of these individuals were being paid under the table by dishonest employers and never paying a dime in taxes. Makes sense!
Third, in most states, having the work authorization and social security number permits the individual to obtain a driver license. Let's face it, whether the undocumented individual has a driver license or not, chances are, they're driving anyway. By permitting that individual to get a driver license, the particular state will also have the individual's address. Further, the individual would be permitted (and probably required) to get auto insurance. Makes sense!
Who Qualified:
Among other specific instructions to the DHS, the emphasis of the order was to permit undocumented parents of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents that could prove they had been the U.S. for a certain period of time and had not been convicted of certain crimes to come forward and expose themselves to the immigration authorities. In doing so, they were required to apply for a work authorization and by extension a state issued ID or driver license. As planned, it was intended that the program would be implemented in early 2015.
The Problem:
Republican lead governments from 26 states sued the Federal government in an attempt to stop the order from going into effect. Lead by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (currently under indictment for two felonies involving securities fraud), the states filed suit in the Federal Court in Brownsville, Texas. Given the national implications for this case, why was the case filed in, of all places, a town of 180,000 located on the border with Mexico? The answer is obvious: these conservative politicians wanted the case to be heard by a conservative judge.
Ordinarily, when a lawsuit is filed in Federal Court, the case is randomly assigned to one of the judges in that jurisdiction. Here the one place they could ensure that the case would be set before a conservative judge was to file it in Federal Court in Brownsville since, at the time, there was only one active judge in that court: Judge Andrew Hanen, a George Dubya appointee.
In February 2015, Judge Hanen issued an order preventing the Executive Order from going to effect. To be clear, Judge Hanen did not decide that Obama's Order was illegal. He merely decided that the Order should not go into effect for the time being. The Federal Government appealed Judge Hanen's decision to the Federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The widely recognized conservative 5th Circuit decided that it would not overturn Judge Hanen's decision. As a result, the Federal Government appealed the 5th Circuit's decision to the U.S. Supreme Court and on Tuesday, the Court announced that it would decide the issue.
The Issue:
It is well established that government entities have the authority to exercise "prosecutorial discretion," which is a fancy way of saying that the government has the power to decide who they are going to arrest, prosecute or deport and who they are not. In its simplest form, it is the same authority your local police officer has when he decides not to give you a speeding ticket and lets you off with a warning.
Of course there are several distinct problems that the Republicans complain about, but when boiled down, their argument is essentially that President Obama doesn't have the authority to make such an order. Instead, they argue, Obama should have to go through Congress to implement such a program. Put another way, the Republicans are arguing that Obama, on his own, does not have the authority to exercise the discretion to pick and choose who the DHS should attempt to deport. The Republicans also argue that even if Obama has such authority (which of course he does), that implementing the Order will cause economic harm to the individual states by, for instance, having to process thousands of new driver license applications.
In announcing that it would hear the case, the Supreme Court told the parties that they needed to address whether Obama's Order violates the "take care clause" of the Constitution. This is the clause that requires the President to execute the laws of the U.S. However, the question is how far does this requirement go and what discretion does the President have to take other actions in conjunction with executing the laws? This particular issue was not argued in Judge Hanen's court or the 5th Circuit. Thus, the Supreme Court is truly making the case a purely Constitutional question. Common sense dictates that the President has some discretion in deciding the cost/benefit of apprehending and deporting every person that is in the U.S. illegally. No doubt the President will argue that the states do not have the power to interfere in his authority to execute Federal immigration laws. On the other hand, the states will argue that the President may have some discretion, but that he doesn't have the authority to not only award them lawful presence but also to give them permission to work.
The Supreme Court will probably hear oral argument around April and should make a decision around June - mere months before the political conventions of both parties. Regardless of the Court's decision, it will be big news and certainly have an immediate impact on millions of people - the office of the President being one of them.

Indian Gay sex story — First contact with a Gay
I had realized that I was gay from a rather early age. The realization that I was a sexual being started at an early age, but at age 8 to 12 years old, the sexual experiences I had were the usual juvenile "show me yours and I'll show you mine" kind of thing. As I continued to mature, I had no direct sexual contact with another person until I was almost 22 years old. I knew that my attentions were focused on other men, but I took no action on my impulses. Our culture does not support homosexual life and I knew this without being told at an early age. So I had suppressed all action, but still had the urges. All this changed one Saturday afternoon.
I am an athletic person although I never participated in organized sports in high school. I have always enjoyed soccer and basketball and have joined the local teams at my nearby recreation center. As a result, I have a trim muscular body and without too much immodesty, I am proud of my physique. That Saturday, I put on my jogging rags, which consist of an old tank top, jock strap, and gym shorts and left my apartment for an afternoon run.
The community where I live has a lengthy network of asphalt paved trails that are ideal for jogging and biking. I set out on the trail and had been running for less than half an hour when I realized I had to pee. The thickly wooded areas along the trail offered plenty of privacy and leafy cover for a quick detour into the foliage. I hopped into the brush for a distance of perhaps 15 or 20 yards and lowered the front of my shorts and jock under my balls and began to relieve myself. As I did so, over the sound of my urine splattering on the leaves of the underbrush, I heard the sound of something or someone moving through the brush. I turned my head to my right and saw a young man of perhaps 30 moving toward me.
He too was dressed for jogging, and I at first assumed that he had no intent other than mine: taking a leak. He didn't say a word, but quickly pulled his clothing down to his thighs and began to urinate. He stood no more that 15 feet from me. My own stream had all but stopped, and I allowed the last of the piss to dribble out and then milked my dick for the last drop or two. We were facing the same direction, but a quick glance or two told me that he was about my height and weight and was nicely equipped with an impressive penis. Although I had squeezed the last drop from my dick, on impulse I did not immediately pull my shorts up. Instead, I simply paused and held my hand on my dick which was beginning to fluff up a bit.
With my head downward, I turned it slightly to get another look at my fellow pisser. He had a full hard on. He looked at me directly and began to massage his cut dick. It looked considerably larger than mine which by this time was standing at full attention. I knew that something was about to happen. The anticipation caused a sudden lump to appear in my chest and throat and I could feel a rush of blood to my head. I did not know what I should do. Should I speak or just stand there and hope that he took action. I had never been in a situation like this and the uncertainty I felt caused me to just stand there, frozen.
He didn't speak, but instead just nodded his head and smiled. He then pulled up his shorts and stepped over and stood very close to me. He stood on my right with his chest next to my shoulder. He was very good looking and being so close to me, I could feel his breath on my face. He reached out his right hand and gently held my dick. The intense feeling of another man's hand on my dick for the first time caused me to take a very sharp and audible intake of breath. My abdominal muscles almost went into cramps as the rush of feeling that I had never known before swept into me. He placed his left hand on my left shoulder and squeezed gently and pulled my body even closer to his.
My reaction was so intense that I could hardly think. His fingers began to explore my penis and as he gently pulled and massaged it, I could not suppress the soft moans and grunts from my mouth. My own arms and hands seemed immobile and I let them hang at my side. Placing his left hand to my head, he pulled me even closer to him and then gently kissed my right ear. He then put a warm moist tongue into my ear and all but caused my legs to collapse. My knees suddenly had no rigidity and I slumped slightly from my standing position. He supported me and continued to kiss the right side of my face. As all this was happening, he continued to stimulate my dick.
He ran his tongue down the side of my neck and then placed a full, moist, open-mouth kiss in the area between my ear and shoulder. As he pressed his mouth to my flesh, I could feel the coarse hair of his beard and it caused my to make a cry of pleasure that could have been heard by anyone nearby. My ass muscles contracted, causing my dick to snap sharply several times. Each time my dick pulsed, my hips involuntarily pumped forward. It was if I were fucking his hand with no conscious direction from my brain. My only awareness seemed to be the pleasure of nerve endings in my flesh being stimulated as I had never known before.
Until now, his fingers had only pulled and felt my dick. But now he began to stroke the length of my 6 inches faster. He gripped my crank in his fist very gently and allowed his forefinger and thumb to slide over the head of my cut dick with each stroke. As he jerked me off, he looked down at my root watching and taking pleasure in what he saw. I was able to look down at my purple headed dick and watched as clear prostate fluid began to appear, signaling an approaching orgasm. The fluid began to ooze out and some of it worked its way between his fingers and my helmet and spread it's silky smooth coating.
The pre-cum began to make soft smacking sounds with each stoke of his hands. My excitement built and I became aware of the tension that I had already felt, begin to invade my rectal muscles. My abdomen tensed and I felt the orgasm begin somewhere behind my dick. The sensation of needing to piss started building as the semen filled my urinary passages. My entire body became rigid as the contractions in my gut forced the semen from my dick in long streams. I don't know how many contractions followed. I was only aware of my own moans and the sound of my semen falling on the leaves of the plants in front of us.
After the last gut wrenching contraction had left my body, he then gently milked and pinched off the last drop of semen from the end of my dick. He firmly hugged me and placed one more kiss on my cheek and whispered "Thanks!" With that action, he stepped away from me, smiled and walked away. My wobbly legs barely supported me as I put my clothing back in order. I was not able to jog back to my apartment but instead walked most of the way home.
Since that day, I have thought about the incident and realized that although I wanted to do so, I never laid a hand on him. I could easily have touched his dick, but did not. I have chalked that up to the fact that it was my first sexual experience. I wondered too, why he did not suck my dick, but instead chose to masturbate me to orgasm. The answer to that question, in this decade, is a matter of safety, and the whole incident brought me to realize that he was practicing safe sex. It was a lesson that I have remembered in these last few years and continue to remember as I enjoy sex with other partners.

Question: Why does my 5 weeks old baby wake up every 45 minutes to an hour both day and night. And when he wakes up he breast feeds and takes long to sleep especially at night?Heidi's Answer: Hi Susan, Everyone, babies, children and adults alike sleep in cycles. During one cycle we go through different stages of sleep ranging from very light to very deep sleep. A baby sleep cycle differs from ours mainly in that it is much shorter (50 minutes compared to our 90 minutes). Also a baby spends more time in light sleep than in deep sleep.At the end of each cycle, there is a brief moment of awakening before the next cycle begins. Older children and adults have learned to 'sleep through' this brief awake phase and (ideally) do not notice that they half wake up several times a night.In newborn and young baby sleep patterns, this brief wake phase is a key moment: it is very easy and natural for a baby to wake up completely rather than simply go on sleeping.All of this to explain why your baby boy wakes up after 45-60 minutes: namely at the end of one cycle. We can get his body used to sleeping for more than one cycle in a row by helping him through to the next cycle. One easy way to start with this is to keep him on the move during his naps. You can use a baby sling at home or out, take (long) walks in the stroller or car rides.Or, you can go to him before he wakes, say 30-40 minutes after he went to sleep. Place your hand on his belly, or lie next to him, or pick him up: whichever works best to gently comfort him while he keeps sleeping. Do this whenever you can, you will quickly find that he learns to sleep for longer.Other than this, he is still very young and his sleep patterns are constantly developing. In particular his day/night rhythm is something that needs to settle. And it is something where you can help by giving clear day/night cues both with light and dark and with active and quiet moments. Please check the newborn sleep patterns and baby sleep schedule pages for details and practical tips.Good luck!Heidi

HA NOI — Ha Noi Police yesterday issued a warrant for the arrest of four top managers of MB24, an online trading company based in Tu Liem District, for further investigations into alleged internet fraud.
Police have already arrested the company's general director Nguyen Tuan Minh and two deputy general directors, but CEO Ngo Van Huy is on the run.
The company has been accused by its customers of taking large amounts of money from them to join an online multi-level trading network, under which individuals had to pay more than US$200 to buy an online "store space". Cutomers were told they could earn commission by inviting others to join the network. — VNS

The Newsroom cast tells us their favorite lines and moments
When you're working with Aaron Sorkin, you're bound to stumble upon a few gems.
Anything written by Aaron Sorkin is bound to have at least a million great lines and The Newsroom is no exception. We caught up with some of the cast over the weekend at PaleyFest and asked them for some of their favorite moments from Season 1. It was a great way to reminisce.
Newsroom gears up for season 2: Who's coming for a visit? >>
"My favorite phrase in the first season was, 'Excuse me, this isn't soundproof glass,'" the always adorable Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) said. "It's this scene where I'm trying to do a presentation on Big Foot and they're having an argument outside and I'm like, very angry."
The scene is pretty great. Dev's character, Neal, spent nearly the entire episode trying to convince his co-workers that Big Foot was a legitimate story worth telling on the show. They, of course, don't take him seriously. In the episode, Neal is definitely the butt of some very funny jokes. No matter how much we love Dev, we can't help but laugh along.
The Newsroom to return in June! >>
Meanwhile, Olivia Munn's favorite "Sorkin moment" wasn't written at all.
"My favorite moment actually, when I think back on it, was when we were shooting the pilot and I remember Aaron and I were talking about the scene," Munn began. "They started shooting so he was like, 'Walk with me.' So I started walking and we're talking about this dialogue and then I stop and I look at him. And, of course, because I am socially awkward, I-I can't help but have the inside thoughts go on the outside. So I just look at him and I go, 'Oh my God. I'm walking and talking with Aaron Sorkin on Aaron Sorkin's set talking about Aaron Sorkin dialogue.' And he just looked at me and goes, 'Just keep walking.'"
Nice, Olivia! We love it when celebs have a fangirl moment. It's nice to know everyone feels a little surreal when they meet Sorkin and not just us!
Whether you've seen a Sorkin show or not, The Newsroom's director Alan Poul makes another great point about the show and the way it's written. And that's that often the way things are said is more important than what is said.
The Newsroom cast continues to grow >>
"Aaron writes like music," he said. "Aaron's show tells you how the music has to sound, so your job as the director is a little bit closer to be the conductor of an orchestra. You can control the pacing, you can put in little pauses, you can make it go allegro or adagio. But you're not gonna... f*** with the rhythm, essentially. The rhythm is baked in."
Beautiful analogy and oh-so-fitting! If you haven't seen The Newsroom, catch up on Season 1. If you have, the show returns this summer for Season 2!

As I will be heading to the USA in a few weeks, I have decided that all future money earned will be saved for some USA shopping. So my last and final summer purchases (at least at full price, I can´t guarentee anything once rebajas start in July!) were made just last week. I splurged a bit but I am thrilled with my two purchases, which I will share with you below.
Love these wedges!
And FINALLY…I saw these clutches in Amsterdam but the shop was closed, and I found them here in Madrid!
It even comes with an attachable chain…
But I prefer to carry it with the ´rings´!!!
Both items were purchased at Nuevas Tentaciones, a boutique in Barrio Salamanca. I can rave about their merchandise but I will tell you, the male shop owner is rude and condescending. If their items weren´t so cute…honestly I´d never return, he is a rather nasty man. So ENTER at your own risk…if your desire for beautiful things is higher than your desire to be treated with respect (lol apparently after I saw this clutch in the window, it was!) then go on in!

Constructed on Spring Street in 1859, Pattee's Hall was the center of Bethel's social and political life during the Civil War. The building was conveniently situated just off Main Street and was utilized for numerous public gatherings, including town meetings and regular weekly gatherings of the Ladies Union Aid Society.
In July of 1862, General Oliver Otis Howard presented a stirring speech here to a crowd made up of local soldiers and area residents. The building was later owned by Bethel Grange No. 56 and no longer stands.

How To Video
Take better photos by prefocusingPress the shutter button halfway and good things happen.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:09 >> Brian Cooley: I'm Brian Cooley with a how-to taking better digital photos by using pre-focus. Pre-focusing your digital camera using involves just a half press of the shutter button. Most every camera works this way. When you do that, it'll focus and assess the light and get ready for the exposure. There are two situations when you'd want to do this. First, when you want to catch a precise moment. By pre-focusing with a half press, you dramatically reduce the time between the remainder of the button press and the moment you take the picture so you can get it quickly. The other reason to pre-focus is when you have a simple point-and-shoot camera, and you want to manage depth of field and don't have the controls to do it. If you point the camera at a foreground subject, pre-focus halfway, then reframe and shoot. You can often push the background out of focus for a nice foreground effect. So get out there and try a half press before you go all the way, and take some better digital photos. [ Music ] ^M00:01:00

Progressive Media takes a turn for the worse
We all know the season. We need to find a replacement for President Obama and there's no shortage of people who think they are capable, ready, and what this country needs. With that there's always the media who's willing to try to persuade our viewpoints. This provides for us a plethora of clips of media members asking some really stupid questions. Gotcha questions. One sided biased questions. Even questions that might not even be questions but more of a editorial comment posed as a question. We've already seen a few so far, but this has to be one of the worst so far. Just sit back and get ready to get that creepy uncomfortable feeling down your back…
Yeah, um, apparently Cruz isn't Cuban enough for Halperin and he wants the world to know. Sorry, but that's just a jerk thing to do Halperin. You earned to Unfit for the Internet award!
How to troll Liberals and Progressives
Here's another installment for the "Unfit for the Internet" files. My daughter brought this to my attention yesterday. Apparently, it's making the rounds in the Progressive/Liberal low information voters right now.
About a week ago a one of those fake news sites (fake as in complete satire al a The Onion) posted up this story, about how the Hose Republicans are drafting up a bill that would give the First Daughters a dress code. The so called "bill" is going to be titled the "The Respectable First Family Act". Which from the deranged mind of a Progressive, seems perfectly legit.
Here's a snippet of the article:
"I shouldn't need to justify why this bill is necessary to anyone, not after seeing what they were dressed like," says the bill's author, Congressman Richard Head (R-UT). "Did you see the photos from the march? The First Daughters looked like pole dancers. You could clearly see their knees and even an inch or two of their thighs. And one of them was wearing go-go dancer boots…
Now, this article isn't really what I want to bring to your attention. What I want you to do is search for "house republican dress code". Now, by the time you read this, the search results may be different. However, there's many sites of people posting comments containing their disgust for those Republicans, using names like "racist", "morons" and other not so kind words. That is until someone kindly let's them know that yes, it is satire. And then there's a near audible sigh of relief and a well, their so stupid anyway comment.
And there's a few sites which have posted this entirely as well with no indication that it's a fake story. Who knows if the people on the sites even care so long as it paints their opponents in a bad light.
Yeah, you've been trolled. You've exposed yourself as the hateful, dismissive person you are. I want to see more Progressives and Liberals being exposed for who they really are.

Title: Portrait of Grace
Bible Passage: Genesis 6:1-8
Date: 2016-10-09
Comments: "When a person works an eight-hour day and receives a fair day's pay for his time, that is a wage. When a person competes with an opponent and receives a trophy for his performance, that is a prize. When a person receives appropriate recognition for his long service or high achievements, that is an award. But when a person is not capable of earning a wage, can win no prize, and deserves no award--yet receives such a gift anyway--that is a good picture of God's unmerited favor. This is what we mean when we talk about the grace of God". (GW Knight) Join us this weekend as we take a look at God's amazing Grace. You'll be glad you did.

Bible Passage: Mark 4:35-41

Comments: Twenty five years ago I officially started ministry as a youth pastor at the Mustang Nazarene Church in Oklahoma. I was 18 years old and a freshman in college. I am not quite sure what their church board was thinking at that time, as I had a teenager in the youth group who was 17, and I was to be their leader. Nevertheless I am extremely grateful for a church who took a chance and gave me the opportunity to begin my ministry. Looking back on those years as a youth pastor, God did some phenomenal things in our lives. Many of those young people are still actively involved in the church. Some serve as church leaders, while several others are involved in full time ministry. I am amazed at how God used those years to impact my life and theirs. This weekend Kim and I have the privilege of going to a youth group reunion that they have planned. I am excited to hear their stories of how God continues to work in their lives.

Association between type 1 diabetes and Hib vaccine
Causal relation is likely
Classen Immunotherapies, 6517 Montrose Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21212, USA ; Email:ten.seniccav@nessalC

editor—We initiated and funded a collaborative study with Tuomilehto on the effect of the Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine on type 1 diabetes and found that the data support a causal relation (paper submitted for publication). Furthermore, the potential risk of the vaccine exceeds the potential benefit. We compared a group that received four doses of the vaccine, a group that received one dose, and a group that was not vaccinated. The cumulative incidence of diabetes per 100 000 in the three groups receiving four, one, and no doses of the vaccine was 261, 237, and 207 at age 7 and 398, 376, and 340 at age 10 respectively.
Karvonen et al's analysis is not rational, and their conclusion is not supported by our data.1 Their calculations of relative risk are also misleadingly low, and we urge readers to check them. Most researchers would compare the group who received four doses with the group that was not vaccinated or the two vaccinated groups with the group that was not vaccinated. The results of both comparisons reach significance. The cumulative difference in cases of type 1 diabetes per100 000 between those receiving four doses and those who were not vaccinated is 54 cases (P=0.013) at 7 years and 58 cases at 10 years (P=0.029; single tail Fisher test). The relative risk is 1.26 at 7 years. The cumulative difference between those receiving four doses or one dose of the vaccine and those who were not vaccinated is 42 cases (P=0.016) at 7 years and 47 cases at 10 years (P=0.028).
The rise in diabetes, just one potential adverse effect, exceeds the benefit of the vaccine, which has been estimated to prevent seven deaths and 7-26 cases of severe disability per 100 000 children immunised.2 Even the difference in cases of diabetes between the groups receiving four doses and one dose exceeds the mean expected benefit. Temporal changes in the incidence of diabetes do not explain the differences since there were an extra 31 cases of type 1 diabetes per 100 000 children aged 5-10, and the incidence of diabetes in this group had been stable for about 10 years before this.3 Furthermore, sharp rises in diabetes have been recorded in the United States4 and the United Kingdom5 after the introduction of the haemophilus vaccine.
Public health officials want to avoid scaring the public, but they risk depriving damaged children of compensation. Denials of safety issues may erode public confidence, especially since diabetes induced by the vaccine may be avoided by starting vaccination a few weeks earlier.

Kingston HyperX T1 XMP Memory for Sandybridge Review
Today we have something very special for review, one of the very few early samples of an upcoming kit developed by Kingston specifically for Intel's Sandybridge platform - a new certified 8GB HyperX bundle which runs at a very tasty 2133mhz.
Kingston might not always come to mind first when considering high performance memory for a new system, but KitGuru has been impressed with all the samples we have received in the last year. In preparation for this review during the week, we found some interesting statistics which might surprise many people ... they managed to hold a staggering 45.8% marketshare in 2010.
Today we are reviewing the upcoming KHX2133C9AD3T1FK4/8GX kit rated at 2133mhz CL9-11-9-27 timings @ 1.65 volts and which features a seperate cooling fan.
Does performance memory really make a difference with a Sandybridge system, in the real world? Today we will find out... KitGuru
