The Roots of My Addiction I've been a smoker for four years now; however, just recently (over the past eight months) I've really been sucking down the Marlboro's. Now it seems like every time I find myself with another cigarette in my mouth I'm asking myself "Why?" . Once I think about it for a while I realize that I had no chance even when I was just a thought in my parents mind. My mother was a smoker since she was twelve years old.
So by the time she found out she was pregnant with me she was already physically addicted to cigarettes. As I developed I was being given all the nutrients and other chemicals she put into her body. One of those chemicals being the nicotine that 'hooks' people onto smoking every day. My mother is a caring women, though, so she did manage to cut down to four cigarettes a week instead of her usually three packs a week. Over a span of nine months those four cigarettes a week add up to a total of, approximately, one hundred and ten cigarettes.
So the nicotine from one hundred and ten cigarettes was already flowing through my body before I even came out of the womb. Then once I came into this world there was no longer any reason for my mother to continue cutting down on her habit, so she picked right back up to where she was before. I've heard (from people I know, television, and the news) that a person is most impressionable in the first seven years of their life. During this time is when their environment that they live in will develop the type of person that they will be for the rest of their lives. This could be another root of my addiction. Because for the first seven years of my life my mother smoked like a chimney.
She smoked until my father got so fed up with it he threatened to leave if she couldn't control her habit. Since their still happily married today, one can probably guess what she decided to do. But for those seven years of my life I watched her smoke every day. I remember one day I got enough nerve to ask her if I could smoke with her.
As a little kid I wanted to be just like my parents. She looked down at me through a cloud of smoke and told me that I should never smoke because it was bad for me. One of those speeches where I should do what she says and not as she does, but we all know that that never works. Thankfully my mother did end up quitting while I was still young or I probably would have started a lot earlier than I did. When I got into the freshman year of high school it was like the first seven years of my life all over again. I have always been one of the 'popular' kids in school and because of that I tended to run with a much older crowd.
Most of the people I hung out with were already eighteen and could buy their own cigarettes. So when ever I would hang out with them they would always offer me a cigarette. I thought this was the greatest thing in the world. When I took that cigarette from them, put it in my mouth, and lit it up I felt older; like an adult.
It felt good not to be treated like some kid any more because now I'm smoking a cigarette just like the older kids do. At first it made me cough to inhale, but after a while it didn't. Then I started to get light headed, and it made my whole body really calm. I loved it! Furthermore, I wasn't coughing and gagging every time I exercised, my teeth weren't yellow, and I wasn't falling over dead on the floor like I was told I would.
I never got to see the down side of smoking, only the up. So I continued to do it. During this time I wasn't smoking like I do now because after a while people get sick of handing out their cigarettes to some kid that never can get his own. This is really all that held me back from making smoking a habitual thing. Once I turned eighteen, however, this wonderful country said that it was alright for me to buy my own. By this time I had a job, and the law allowed me to smoke whenever I wanted.
It never was a problem for me to keep it away from my parents either, but even if they did know there wasn't really anything that they could do about it. So what was used to be a thing I would do to feel older, now became a thing that I did just because I could. It didn't make it any easier that I was around it even more now that I was older. I still hung around with that same crew I did before, as well as new people that smoked. My best friend Jake, for example. We would hang out with each other a lot during the course of a week.
During this time we would usually party, or whatever else came to mind. The one thing each event seemed to have in common was that we both had a cigarettes in our mouth. If I didn't have any left, he would give me some, and vise versa. Another example would be my girlfriend. If I wasn't with Jake I would be with her, and sometimes both of them at the same time. The same rules applied.
Whoever had cigarettes would share with the person who didn't. I thought that this was kind of nice. Everyone was helping out each other. The thing is we were all just hurting ourselves even more by giving each other cigarettes. When, instead, we should have been encouraging each other to stop. Now it is too late.
All of us are physically addicted to them. We no longer do it because it makes us feel older, or because we can get away with it and we know there isn't anyone to stop us. We do it because we can't stop. Our bodies physically need that nicotine their so used to having. Myself in particular, if I go even a few days without smoking for whatever reason I'll get headaches, my hands will shake, and if it's real bad I'll feel nauseated.
These are all the things that people have to go through when they " re trying to quit. I have enough stress in my life with school and trying to maintain a long-distance relationship without having to be worried about quitting smoking. So I continue to do it. I know that there will always be some kind of stress in my life, but I'm a strong enough person to know when it is time to stop. Right now I'm only hurting myself, and I'm fine with that. When it starts to hurt anyone else, like my children, I will be forced to stop.
I wouldn't want my children to smoke, and I'll do everything I can to prevent that. Until then I don't see myself stopping because I don't have anything in my life that would make me want to.

Let it be known: I should be in bed.
That said, I was dancing in the parking lot on my way home after work. I haven't been swing dancing since August, and I miss it. I miss the physical exercise; I miss the people; I miss the sensuality. I might get to go over Christmas break (here's hoping), but now I'm worried that I've forgotten how to dance. And so, I must take my opportunities and practice my footwork.
I like being a free agent. I like my independence. I like doing what I want, when I want. I like not having to check in with anyone. I like being able to flirt with the men at the mall. I like taking myself on dates. I like being by myself.
I know that God said "it is not good for man to be alone," but I'm pretty sure He actually meant men, not women. Take that as you will.
I'm going to bed.

Palm Reading Gloucester Gloucestershire
Palm Reading Gloucester Gloucestershire: Are you intrigued to know what lies in the future? Would you be happy knowing what life has in store for you? Then maybe you should consider having your palm read by a specialist. Palm reading, palmistry or chiromancy is the age-old craft of recognizing past experiences, foretelling future events and reading a person's character by studying the bumps, shapes and lines on the palm of their hand. Locating someone who does palm reading in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, may not be that simple since there are not all that many skilled palm readers out there, for you to consult with, and you certainly should get yourself a proper palm reader if you want to get a genuine reading.
Palm Reading - A Potted Guide: Palm reading in its varied forms has existed for many centuries and has been used by many cultures and civilizations, particularly in Ancient Greece, Israel, Sumeria, Japan, China, Babylonia, Persia, Egypt, India and Tibet. Those who practice this craft can be known as hand analysts, palmists, chirologists, palm readers or hand readers. In ancient Greece, Aristotle was among the first maintain that the characteristics of a person could be recognised by specific features of the palms of the hands.
The correct reading of palms is dependent upon studying various facets of the hand in particular the shape of the hand (called chirognomy or cheirognomy), the bumps or mounds of the hand (called chirosophy or cheirosophy) and the lines of the hand (known as cheiromancy or chiromancy).
Each palm of an individual conveys a different story, there is the dominant hand (the hand you write with), which is considered to represent the conscious mind, while the non-dominant hand characterizes the subconscious mind.
Most palm readers in Gloucester will begin a reading using the dominant hand, which is often thought to indicate hereditary and family behavior and impart particulars about former life experiences. Together, the lengths and shapes of the lines on the palm of the hand, the shape and size of mounds and bumps on the palm of the hand and the relative shapes and lengths of the fingers are all taken into consideration, along with fingernails, fingerprints, skin texture and the overall shape of the hand.
The Lines of the Hand in Palm Reading - There are a number of significant lines on the palm of the hand which are believed to signify distinct aspects of a person's life and future. A few of the foremost lines used in palm reading are: the fate line, the head line, the heart line, the health line and the life line, other lines that you may hear mentioned during a reading are the money line, the sun line, the travel lines and the marraige line. The life line tells the tale of how a person has spent their life, their life force and physical vitality, plus it may suggest future or past illnesses. The heart line conveys the story of a person's emotional frame of mind, their view of love and just how good their personal relationships could be. The head line indicates a person's wisdom level, memory, self-control, thought processes and creative ability. The fate line tells the tale of a person's career and work life, if they're likely to achieve in their career and their ability to hold onto a job. The marriage line reveals the story of a person's current and future married life, if it is likely to be short-lived and troubled or long and successful.
Different people who do palm reading in Gloucester might have their own approach to this art, some just do a reading for the dominant hand, some do readings on both hands. Some may focus on the lines of the hand (as outlined above), while others might be much more interested in the length of the fingers and the overall hand shape and how these can indicate that person's future and character. Certain palm readers will be able to tell their client events that have already taken place during their life and how this may have an affect on their destiny, while others may be focused on trying to foresee future happenings based on the client's personality and characteristics as have been determined by the reading of their palms.
Palm Reading - The Hand Shapes: There are five common hand shapes that palm readers use to distinguish a subject's traits, personality and possible future. These hand shapes are known as the Air Hand, the Earth Hand, the Fire Hand, the Water Hand and the Combination Hand. Each of these hand types discloses certain characteristics that a person will probably have. People with an Air Hand are likely to be unforgiving, calculative, chatty and sociable. People with a Water Hand tend to be moody, introverted, emotional and creative. People with a Fire Hand tend to be spontaneous, extroverted, controlling and courageous. People with an Earth Hand are likely to be headstrong, materialistic, pragmatic and prone to acquire wealth. and People with a Combination Hand tend to be calm in a crisis, practical and intuitive.
The physical attributes of each hand type are: The Earth Hand has got a square, broad palm and fingers with coarse, thick skin, the Water Hand has a palm that is long and oval shaped, with slim, tapering fingers of about the same length as the palm, the Fire Hand has got a rectangular or square palm with short, stout fingers, the Air Hand has got fingers longer than the palm which is square or rectangular in shape, with dry skin, while a Combination Hand (Air-Earth, Water-Air) will have a combination of those features.
Online Palm Reading: Even though an in the person palm reading in Gloucester is the most popular method and more of an experience, you are able, in recent times, to have your palm read online. All that you need to do is send in a scan of your palms, and a palm reader will contact you with a detailed assessment of your hand, including characteristics, prophesies for your future and traits. There are even sites where you're able to type in your own info and acquire an instantaneous palm reading. The nice thing about this approach is obviously that you do not have to look for a palm reader in Gloucester itself, you can use the skills of a palm reader anywhere on the planet, so will have a far bigger choice in your palm reading journey.

Originally, he joined the Winnipeg Division as a sea cadet and then
later served as an RCNVR Officer for several years before the war, even
while his father was the Commanding Officer.
When war broke out, he was employed by C. S. Gunn and Company. As an eager young Sub-Lieutenant, in September of 1939 he was one of the first to be mobilized from the Winnipeg Division. He volunteered to serve with the Royal Navy, just as his father did in the WW1. In June of 1941, now a Lieutenant, He was onboard the RN destroyer HMS Fearless when she helped sink U38 west of Cape Trafalgar. His job in the Fearless was to stand by the torpedoes until they were fired, then he was to take charge of the after gun. Only one month later, on 23 July 1941, while screening HMS Ark Royal, the Fearless suffered an attack by an Italian torpedo bomber. She caught fire, lost all power, and when she was judged too damaged to tow, she was scuttled north of Bone, Algeria. Sadly, Ramsey was killed in this attack.

As I said in my last blog entry, I've had a fairly sustained wobble over recent days, and it was most definitely the worst since March 2017 when crossdressing came to an end again.
I'd like to say that my thoughts have been clear, transparent, easy to understand, but they haven't been in entirety. How can it be possible to think about a subject matter but without being specific? Why is it that the human mind can just have the subject per se swirling around? My head has been something like a bingo or lottery machine, everything loaded in but swirling around whilst there is a long wait for something to be drawn out.
If that 'swirling' wasn't bad enough, the sheer fact there was a melting pot of undefined subject matter in there meant that one's subconscious was susceptible to being played back whilst asleep and all the utter nonsense that might normally be part of a dream of a person with an active or busy mind, is, under these circumstances, even more of a jumbled up mess.
I've had a few days away with the other half and as she was dressing one night, she decided that a particular bra didn't quite sit well enough with her over garment of choice. She reached for a rarely worn black lacy bra from her lingerie drawer, that I more than clearly remember wearing myself. As she flung the first bra off, in picking up the black one, she spent just a few seconds doing what I think was inspecting it. Were there some 'tell tale' signs she'd somehow spotted, something not quite right?
Sitting there in my apparent, evident innocence, my mind rang a muted, brief "What the hell is going off here?" alarm bell until it was concluded that things had moved on without issue. But those few seconds of inspection seemed like an eternity, but she'd decided it was suitable and put it on. I helped sort the odd twisted bra strap and admired the view in front of me whilst also remembering just how nice that was to wear, particularly with breast forms and how much pleasure I'd had in wearing it, albeit not recently.
Our few days away took us into department stores on an aimless wander around the city we were visiting, where, as usual, the quick reader that I am spotted signs saying 'Lingerie' but without setting about a desire to either be there or not – I really wasn't bothered either way. I reasoned that, if we passed, then there would be some covert screening from distance, but nothing more. In another store, there were the odd racks of stockings and other hosiery, and my darting scanning eyes quickly sought to confirm, for no reason whatsoever, that what I was seeing was stockings, not tights or anything else as if there was a need to tick a box somewhere.
Whilst queuing at the checkout with the general things that had been picked up, as we snaked through those zig-zag marshalling type routes to the pay desk, my attention was drawn back to the periphery and the lingerie area of the floor. On the top of the stockings display unit was one of those mannequin legs – the ones that are solely to display the stocking only. One of the legs standing high in the air on top of the unit, was adorned with a black stocking with a lacy black top – as the mental box ticking continued, I concluded that it was of the hold up variety as there was no mannequin body to which a suspender belt might have been holding up the stocking. Satisfied that I had well and truly ticked that box, the draw of imagery nearby was dismissed and I quite simply moved on.
We had already taken a quick jaunt around the lingerie department earlier in our stroll. At one point, we were teetering on the edge of the area. Inside, I was urging my other half to go across the threshold and get a little closer. Something grabbed her attention and my inner euphoria – for some bizarre reason – celebrated the opportunity. We trailed a little further in, did a quick circle and, for what was, to be fair, a brief moment, lasting around a minute before we breezed out as quickly as we'd breezed in.
Where does this leave things for me? Here's a recap. Other than the Avatar, there are no more pictures of me in any garment on any site under my control, there can be no peripheral geography, body shape or anything that might be seen by anyone, including me, to identify me. A wave of horror over on-line antics led me to another type of purge in deleting images from a total of three sites as I said in the previous blog entry.
The remote location remains the home to everything that was thrust in a box and stored there back in March – a handful of outfits, a pair of black lace topped hold-ups, a pair of white stockings, a pair of blue seamed stockings and those 38c breast forms.
Those items are so remote, even I can't really get to them easily at all, although I know I could if I wanted to. Whatever drive it was that led to the delete button being repeatedly clicked upon to eradicate any archive images of me in various items of lingerie, was the same sort of drive that had previously carried me to that remote location, drove me to grab for those items without making eye contact with them, drove me to find the box and drove me to the extent that I went to , in order to make sure that they were far enough out of even my reach.
The mind is now clearer, more settled once more, but still able to recall, reminisce. As I have said before, even the silence of making the bed of a morning reminds of that same bed making process that usually preceded an early morning dressing session. Dressing time was always a deeply personal one, preparing myself was as equally fulfilling as the art of wearing, always co-ordinated, as tidy as possible, always adjusting, making right.
There are many other reminders, as I've remarked before, about memories of being crossdressed or crossdressing, occasions in life, places that I have been crossdressed, places where I have been whilst yearning to be crossdressed, journeys home in advance of immediately dressing when back home, stop offs on route to collect mail-ordered outfits and the same rush to get home to try that item on for the first time.
Whilst the acts may have ceased, whilst photographs can be and have been erased, memories cannot. Although sometimes difficult to bear, the fact that those memories linger and are recalled, is no different to the time over which covert crossdressing acts were carried out.
Wobble overcome, as ever though, one thing remains ever present – I remain the recovering crossdresser.

Hundreds of Tunisians Fleeing Unrest Arrive on Italian Island of Lampedusa
Ahmadinejad says Egypt, Tunisia were inspired by Iran's anti-Western protests
Friday, February 11, 2011; 3:54 PM
The crisis that has been roiling Egypt, a key U.S. ally in the region, dominated Friday's celebration. Ahmadinejad said that the 12th imam Mahdi, a revered 9th-century Shiite saint, had directed the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia.
"This is a global revolution, managed by the imam of the ages," Ahmadinejad told the large crowds gathered in and around Tehran's central Azadi Square.
He predicted the formation of a world government, ruled by the 12th imam. "Hearts and beliefs are swiftly leaning toward forming a global governance and the necessity of the rule of the 'perfect human,' linked to the heavens," he said.
I still have to wonder why Obama stayed out of the Iranian situation, but was so adamant about Egypt.
AFM on 'high alert' as 4,000 migrants land on Lampedusa in 24 hours
The Armed Forces of Malta have stepped up their sea patrols South of the island as numerous boats laden with migrants from Tunisia are crossing over to reach Europe.
So far, almost 4,000 Tunisians have landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa, leading the Italian government to convene Cabinet this morning and declare a state of emergency on the island.
A number of migrants have been reported missing after their boat capsized. A search and rescue operation is currently underway.
The latest political uprising in Tunisia has led to hundreds of migrants to attempt the crossing, prompting authorities in Malta and Italy to tighten external and internal security given that many migrants are prison escapees during the uprising that ousted President Ben Ali.

I've actually seen a few tweets about Oil and Gas people in the Suez going on strike, protesting the selling of Oil and Gas to Israel. Haven't seen any reports of it, just a bunch of tweets.
If this happens and they get their way, I think my prediction thread about Israel invading egypt would be the first prediction thread to come true.
Who knows.

I read the article. I don't think it is a reliable source. It's a blog that reports, among other things, detail about the Saudi king's displeasure with Obama. I just don't think the writer has that information. Everything in it seems exaggerated. A little too broadly drawn, though sounding realistic and even likely.
Interestlingly, I was watching a Russia Today item featuring Webster Tarpley on YouTube, where he says that the US has been planning to topple Mubarak for the last couple of years and that it would like to destabilize Egypt along with Pakistan and Iraq (of course) because it has decided to pursue aims against Russia and China rather than aims against Iran specifically.
We'll have to see how Egypt moves forward. In a wonderful pantomine of the French Revolution, the Egyptian people have swept aside the leader of the "Army Party". The "Army Party" still remains in power though and is said to enjoy the affection and love of the Egyptian people who differentiate sharply between the "Army Party", whom they love and it's leader, whom they despise.
Democracy is so easy to achieve when you are Egyptian. England struggled for centuries to get it. France murdered or deposed an entire generation of gentry. America warred for years in the boondocks to found their republic. Russians fought for generations against despotism and endured all kinds of suffering to create social progress. Castro slogged through the jungle before battling his way to the capital (and instituting wide ranging social reforms and improvements to social services in a struggle for democracy that is still going on in Cuba).
But in Egypt it's all over in days! Truly incredible. It's a little like when little Johnny tackles his dad on the football field and brings him down!!! Amazing that little Johnny has so much skill in football at such a young age, and his Dad is so much bigger than him. Well done little Johnny! Bravo!!edit on 12-2-2011 by ipsedixit because: (no reason given)
Castro slogged through the jungle before battling his way to the capital (and instituting wide ranging social reforms and improvements to social services in a struggle for democracy that is still going on in Cuba).
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (i.e., North Korea) accused the United States Wednesday of intruding on its airspace with surveillance planes—the latest tension between the two countries. Though nominally Socialist, the DPRK is a totalitarian regime, rather like other states that include the words Democratic or People's Republic as part of their official names. Like the People's Republic of China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, and don't forget former East Germany—the German Democratic Republic. Why is it that the least democratic countries always brandish democratic-sounding names?
Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Egypt's military dissolved parliament and will run the country for six months or until elections are held, it said in a statement Sunday, two days after President Hosni Mubarak resigned.
It is suspending the constitution and will appoint a committee to propose changes to it, the statement said, adding that the public will then get to vote on the amended constitution.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces can issue new laws during the transition period, according to the statement on state television.
The government is now reporting to the military high command in the same way it reported to Mubarak before he stepped down, the prime minister confirmed shortly before the military statement was read.
The restoration of security and normal life is the government's priority, Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq said, as troops began trying to clear protesters from Tahrir Sqaure, the spiritual heart of the 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak after 30 years.
"Egypt is returning to the 1952 model of ruling the state via a council of army officers," the Stratfor statement said. "The question now is to what extent the military elite will share power with its civilian counterparts."

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. -- A string of burglaries in Springfield has put residents on edge. Now, they're working together in a neighborhood watch program to protect themselves against crooks.
The program is volunteer-run. The idea is each resident watches out for their neighbors. They look for everything from scams to more serious crimes. More than 700 residents are part of the program.
KEZI 9 News met with Springfield Police detective Brian Antone, to find out if these neighborhood watch groups really work.
"Absolutely, and I'm glad you asked. Just get outside and get to know your neighbors. Get to know their habits, and who is home, what cars belong there, what people belong there, and more importantly, what people and cars don't belong in your neighborhood," Antone said.
He said criminals are more likely to stay away from areas where there are neighborhood watch programs.
KEZI also spoke to April Johnson, the Vice President of the neighborhood watch program.
"Neighborhood watch is here because we want our open spaces and our neighborhoods to be kept safe for our children and our elderly, and we want to be able to know that our property is safe when we're not around," she said.
Anyone can join the Springfield neighborhood watch. They'll hold their next meeting Wednesday, February 21st at the Springfield Justice Center at 6 p.m. If you're interested in joining contact the Springfield Police Department.
The Springfield neighborhood watch program regularly holds meetings at the Springfield Justice Center. If you're interested in joining contact the Springfield Police Department.

My roots keep me Standing
My roots keep me standing
My roots keep me standing
Everyone has things in their lives we wish we could change. As much as we wish we can click our heels and wake up to a unharmed life, when the tornado spins our life upside down, we are faced with cleaning up the aftermath. Although it seems like storms are only there to rage havoc in our lives, they can also bring forth benefits as a byproduct.
We look at a tree standing tall and strong. Yet what gives it stability is the unseen, its roots. We all have life experiences that have formed who we are. Many times we feel crippled by these experiences, and resent many scenes from it. But truth is, it is the very experiences that we have lived thus far, that have us standing.
"What ifs" are very powerful, but are as real as a unicorn. We can map out our lives a thousand ways if this or that would've gone as you planned. Although we may not always have control over the things that happen to us, we have control over our reaction to this things. I want you to know that in order to stay standing tall you must stand firm on your roots. What has happened in your life until this point, has had a purpose. In Gods hands, even your mistakes can be a testimony. God has a purpose for your life. Would you consider a soldiers scars shameful or a thing of pride? If life has scarred you and you bitterly resent these scars, then you are as un-sturdy as a tree planted in sand. But if you turn those scars into a story of Gods glory, you are not only sturdy but beautiful and inspiring.
Today is a day of healing for your soul. Have you ever been at a point you even feel angry at God? Today his love wants to penetrate the protective barrier you have set up all around you. He wants to embrace you with open arms. He wants to give you the smile your father never gave you, the approval you mother was unable to provide, the peace an apology from an abuser would've given you, etc. He wants to hold you in his arms, wipe away your tears, and tell you "EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT", while meaning it. He wants to whisper in your ear, "Everything will work for your good".
If you receive his love and strength, your experiences will be the very things that will keep you standing strong.

I definitely enjoyed the story but did not interview the narrator ahead of time? She has one voice and one voice only for the multitude of characters, with a lispy rasp that makes it painful to listen to. I can normally listen to a book of this duration in a couple of days, this one took me a week! On multiple occasions I had to stop the book and do other things before coming back because I was too annoyed with how poorly she pronounced common words. Sadly, she's narrated the second book too, it might take me a while to get through that one as well!

What would have made The Frozen Sky better?
Make the characters and their motivations more believable.
Has The Frozen Sky turned you off from other books in this genre?
No but I would be reluctant to buy another book from this author. The story was just not well written. It was an interesting concept but the story did not come across as genuine. The characters are classic examples of an author trying to write deep motivations and very 3 dimensional characters but ending up with exactly the opposite very possibly because they tried so hard.
Did Darrin Revitz do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
So So
What character would you cut from The Frozen Sky?
The main character needs to be completely rewritten. She is just not believable. I am tired of weak, wishy washy women in SciFi.
Any additional comments?
I wish I had not wasted the credit

I swear I went in to Loblaws just to buy milk, but as soon as I laid eyes on some fresh green tomatillos, it was settled: I was making chili! To be more specific: turkey chili. I did this a little backwards, going grocery shopping before looking at the recipe- I admit it. It did not help matters that I was voraciously hungry. Thankfully I had saved up my points (one of the upsides of living off my credit card) to pay for it… and so I paid $1. Hah.
I got home and looked up the recipe for easy (fine, child-friendly) turkey chili.Having the measurements for spices was what I was really after, I had a mind of my own as to what I was going to throw in and how I was going to prep the turkey meat. I fried the minced turkey, but using chicken stock instead of oil. I was pleasantly surprised when that actually worked out fine (I was rather skeptical given my usual healthy short-cuts end up as failures). I tossed stuff in the crockpot: beans, corn, tomatillos, mushrooms. I did not have any tomato sauce so I added some spaghetti sauce (it is made with tomatoes) and figured that the rest of the tomato flavour would come from the tomatillos (I assumed they were of the same family- they are not). Continuing with my "witch over her cauldron" streak, I threw in some hot sauce and orange peppers just for good measure. After adding the turkey I realized something terrible: there was no more room in my crockpot! It was crammed full. I glanced at my still-half-full container of mushrooms and shrugged. Oops.
The turkey chili came out amazing. Easily one of the best recipes I have ever cooked. In fact, it has turned me from a bean-hater to a chili-fanatic (i.e.: I no longer eat around the beans). Turns out that red kidney beans are really good when they are cooked for a long time until they reach a mushy consistency.
I am officially a chili fanatic, so much so that no sooner had I polished off that batch than I found myself yet again in the kitchen frying up some ground turkey. This was another unanticipated chili. I was in the grocery store and I found a lonely can of chilpotle (the label had a typo) peppers in adobo sauce. My eyes widened, I had been looking for that for almost a year!! For what recipe, I really cannot remember. (Maybe I should have saved them, will I be able to find them again?). This time I did not have any green tomatillos, so I added some green tomatillo salsa to the crockpot along with half an onion (which I lacked last time). After a while I was curious and tasted some- holy God it was hot. And I don't just mean the temperature- it was a damn spicy chili, maybe two and a half alarm? Turns out chilpotle peppers in adobo sauce are spicy!! And of course there were jalapenos in the green salsa. It was a good thing I resisted adding cayenne pepper to my chili, maybe next time.
I love chili.

Fraternal Twins at Twins Sliders
Tucked between Delancey and Mission Cantina, in the shadow of the new Everson College building in Hollywood, George Abou-Daoud's (Bowery, Mercantile, Delancey, Township Saloon, Rosewood Tavern) latest concept is a simple take-out window with only a few things on the menu: beef sliders, fried chicken sliders, fries and milkshakes. The sliders come topped with housemade Thousand Island dressing and pickles, and the hand-cut fries can get smothered in the same. The milkshakes can be as simple as chocolate or strawberry, but there are also the excellent date shakes made with real dates, or the extreme Big One made with a ridiculous amount of candy and cereal and topped with a whole Twinkie.

Salmon Burger at Fig & Olive
Always leaning toward the healthier side, the West Hollywood Mediterranean spot added a new salmon burger for lunch and brunch, topped with shallots, capers, dill, tomato, arugula, avocado and a housemade olive oil and caper mayo. It's higher-priced at $21, but look where you're eating.

Game Burgers at Burger Lounge
Game is the name of the game at all 11 locations of Burger Lounge (LA and San Diego). Look for the grass-fed bison burger throughout October and November served on the signature bun (gluten-free or lettuce wrap optional) with blue cheese, pickled onions and roasted garlic aïoli. The burger switches to wild boar in January and February, with crispy onion rings, smoked mozzarella and BBQ sauce, and grass-fed elk with jicama slaw, crispy pork belly and chipotle aïoli in March and April.
Multiple locations
Brat Pack Burger at Plan Check
You already know how great the burgers are at Plan Check, where chef Ernesto Uchimura makes things like ketchup leather for his all-beef patties (he did work for Umami Burger, after all). For October, his Oktoberfest-inspired burger is a bratwurst patty on a salt-and-pepper pretzel bun with atomic beer mustard, beer-braised sauerkraut and caramelized onions. Get it solo or with fries and a pint of Licher Oktoberfest for $15 all month long.

Veggie Burger at Library Alehouse
Known for its great beer list and great patio, the Santa Monica gastropub has recently added a vegetarian patty made in-house that comes topped with avocado, cucumber, sprouts and roasted garlic aïoli. On Mondays during lunch, you can get it or any of the burgers (beef, bison, turkey and more) your way, choosing from an array of toppings on a handy-dandy checklist for only $10.

Bulgogi Burger at Slater's 50/50
It might be known for bacon-izing everything, including milkshakes, but this month Slater's goes a bit Korean with its bulgogi-topped burger. The beef patty gets smothered with red pepper flake cucumber kimchi, beef bulgogi, sautéed mushrooms, crispy wonton slivers and Korean-style BBQ sauce all on a brioche bun. Have your bacon on the side.

Fontina Burger at La Dolce Vita
The Rat Pack lore still haunts this Beverly Hills classic, but with a recent facelift, cocktail menu and new chef comes a little modernization - i.e. there's a burger on the menu now. Of course you can still get veal Milanese, chicken parmesan, and steak Sinatra, but now there are panini and sandwiches, like the LDV Burger, a beef patty topped with marinated roasted peppers, Fontina cheese and basil aïoli on a ciabatta roll. Although Manny the maître'd is no longer there, the stories he'd tell of the Reagans hopefully live on.

American Ham Burger at The Oinkster
If you know anything about Nick Offerman's Parks and Recreation character Ron Swanson, you know the man is made of meat. And if you know anything about Offerman the man, he also likes a good steak, or in this case, a burger. The actor collaborated on a sandwich with the Eagle Rock crew, and so the "American Ham" Burger was created. The special burger is the "essence of good taste and manliness," a 6-oz. beef patty topped with shaved ham, two layers of Gruyère cheese, hot sweet mustard, mayo and bread-and-butter pickles on a sourdough bun. It's available through the month of October.

Black Label Burger at Eden Burger Bar
This year-old Glendale spot has a slightly more upscale look than your average burger joint, with a sleek design, purple velvet pillows and faux-crocodile-skin chairs. Gourmet burgers aren't the only thing you'll find here, but it is a specialty, with a regular roster of house combos as well as build-your-own options. Right now the Black Label Burger is a special, a dry-aged beef patty topped with roasted garlic aïoli, onion confit, black truffles and black-truffle cheese, and crispy potatoes. Look for more EBB's to pop up in Downtown LA, Hollywood and Westwood soon.
