I have many stuffed animals. When I was younger, I loved stuffed animals like no other [except for maybe hard animals].
I thought I'd let them all out for a nostalgic photoshoot.
After I'd taken the pic and declared I liked it, my sister started giggling and pointed out the upper right corner. Yes, my sister held out my Kit [see Day 6] to be in the photo. Of course that only made it better. :D
Like boy bands and big hair, let's bring back the one-bite wonder!

Once again, Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring came riding up to the rescue on a bright white stallion to save the day.
I still had a number of fresh jalapeños in the refrigerator. “We should probably use them soon.” I told the Aggie Ring.
“Well,” said the Aggie Ring. “You could brown some chorizo and mix it in with some cream cheese to make a delicious spicy filling.”
“Oh. That’s an excellent idea.” I replied.
The Aggie Ring assisted me with slicing the jalapeño peppers open and removing the ribs and seeds. Most recipes on the internets warn you that you should wear gloves because of the oils in the peppers. This wasn’t Aggie Ring’s first “Jalapeño Rodeo.” He cut them and gutted them without the protection of gloves. “Gloves are for sissies.” laughed the Aggie Ring in his trademarked “Evil Aggie Ring™ laugh.” Now we can’t touch our face for about 12 hours.
Then, we browned and diced the chorizo up and folded it into a box of cream cheese after draining it. Aggie Ring took a tablespoon and lovingly put a scoop of the cream cheese / chorizo mixture into each jalapeño half. We then placed them in the oven for about 20 minutes until the cheese was browned and bubbling and the flesh of the jalapeños was tender.
“So good. So good.” exclaimed Aggie Ring as he bit into the first stuffed jalapeño. Then he realized that these were the really hot ones and not the milder variety that were developed for use by the major restaurant chains to put on nachos. The chorizo was pretty spicy as well.
“It’s a good burn.” said Aggie Ring. Yes, my lips were burning and my nose started running continuously. This all went down about half an hour ago and I still have hot lips.
“Well, you’ve saved the day once again.” I said to the Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring. “You’re amazing.”
“Thank you very much.” replied the Aggie Ring. “But, you’re the one who is amazing.”
“You are such an observant Aggie Ring.” I smiled and told him.

With some inspiration in mind, I set out on making a delicious meal for myself. I started by pounding steak with a meat mallet to 1/4 inch thickness. Then I spread the chopped spinach, fresh mozzarella cheese, pinch of oregano, salt and pepper over the steak. Starting from narrow side, I rolled up the stuffed flank steak into a pinwheel, held by toothpicks.
In a large skillet, I browned the steak roll on all sides in hot oil. At the end, I combined tomato sauce, garlic and herbs, pouring it over the meat. The end result is spirals of lean flank steak with a luscious filling of spinach and fresh mozzarella, all topped with warm garlic tomato sauce. Dinner is served!

Mídia impressa, mídia eletrônica, multimídia.
Produção de conteúdo? Yes, we can!
Nos anos 80 todos queriam ser videomakers, nos anos 90 era chique trabalhar com multimídia e até outro dia somente repórteres fotográficos viam seu trabalho estampado na capa do jornal.
Hoje todo mundo é videomaker. Não o videomaker da década de 80, que precisava alugar câmeras pesadas e pagava os olhos da cara por algumas horas numa ilha de edição. Agora que os celulares filmam, a produção massificou e um novo gênero surgiu: o documentário do amigo traidor. São gravações de coitados que na maioria das vezes nem sabem que estão sendo filmados. Dos mais leves, onde pais sacaneiam filhos anestesiados, aos mais pesados, com celebridades se drogando, esses vídeos coalham a Internet. Nos casos mais extremos seu valor é escancarar o que nenhum outro documentário jamais mostraria. Pena que não façam isso por ousadia, mas por pura irresponsabilidade. Se você já viu a Amy Winehouse fumando crack, sabe do que estou falando.
Hoje todo mundo é fotógrafo. Os jornais, desesperados para competir com a velocidade da cobertura online, passaram a explorar nosso vicio de fotografar tudo que esteja pelo caminho. E os acidentes são um grande filão. Quanto mais rápida a tragédia, melhor. Quando os profissionais chegam, a ação já acabou e somente quem estava lá, com a máquina no bolso, pode fotografar o pedreiro agarrado no andaime em chamas, pouco antes de cair (aconteceu com um amigo meu!). Primeira página garantida e alguma grana no bolso. A praga do amigo traidor também rende uma manchete. Se você viu o Michael Phelps fumando maconha, sabe do que estou falando.
E a multimídia, coitada, onde foi parar? Sumiu e, ao mesmo tempo, está em todos os lugares, incorporada a nossa vida. Dissolvida nos brinquedos, na Web, no banco, nos games, no carro... a lista é grande. Interagimos com naturalidade por todas essas interfaces e, no entanto, não criamos nossa própria multimídia. Ou criamos? Essas produções toscas, feitas no PowerPoint, que os amigos adoram mandar por email, são os filhos bastardos da boa e velha multimídia (aquela que morava no CD-ROM, lembra?). O povo vai misturando todo tipo de conteúdo pirateado com todo tipo de efeito manjado, sem medo de ser feliz. E onde isso vai dar? Um dos meus gurus previu que, quando o PowerPoint acrescentar mais algumas funções, as velhas piadas de 3 linhas se tornarão arquivos de 3 Gigas.

This guy is selling stuffed toys in Rizal Park, Manila, Philippines. Usually we address a Filipino person as "kuya" meaning brother.
Stuff:
1 - Sorry I have not been around much, ranching is time-consuming. But I love it.
2 - We got goats. Mostly to eat the weeds in the pasture, because I hate chemicals and goats are natural weed control. I am going to learn to mik them, and make cheese. Don't laugh! Well, ok, laugh, because it is kind of funny. We got pigmy nigerian goats and mini alpine goats, or maybe it's mini nigerian and pygmy alpine? I can't keep it straight.
3 - Also I got a puppy. Normally I am all about rescuing dogs but I saw a pic of my little guy and I could not resist him. He's 11 weeks old and he's a silky terrier. Husband says he looks like Lon Chaney. He is the cutest thing ever.
I should have mentioned on here earlier - the other exciting thing that happened (besides, oh, our wedding) is that my first published pattern came out! These are called Stuffable Stockings and the pattern is in the November/December 2009 issue of Crochet Today! I had to make three stockings for the magazine, and I didn't get a great shot of the third one before I had to send them off. You can see them all together on the Crochet Today! page here, and you can queue them up on ravelry here.
Stuffed Pig Trotters
Pig trotters stuffed with chicken mousse, sweetbreads, and mushrooms, served with wild mushrooms (shiitake and oyster) and greens. ($13 for a whole order, this is a little more than a half-order)
Notes: Riffing on Pierre Koffman? Or, Marco Pierre White?
Read about this dinner at the ulterior epicure.
1 - My daughter joined the national guard. I have mixed feelings about this. I am proud of her but, wars and rumors of wars, you know.
2 - My oldest boy is taking his test to be a CNA on monday. He went out and found this job and training all on his own. And, he seems to really be enjoying it.
3 - It appears that husband and I have managed to raise two adult human beings. I am very pleased with this and happy that they're out there making places for themselves in the world.
4 - three more to go! Husband is going to have to step up and help with the driver training, I taught the first two to drive, almost singlehandedly. He owes me.
5 - I think I finally have my homeowners insurance hammered out. I have a whole new hatred for the insurance industry, which I mostly look at as state-approved highway robbery and making a profit off people's fear and uncertainty.
6 - Husband is almost certainly going to change jobs, which means we are almost certainly moving, which means I have to get this house ready to go on the market. It also will mean a spending diet and maybe some downsizing. I need to make a list. I need to make several lists. Maybe I should get a new notebook for this.
All of this is why I haven't been on flickr much lately. I get preoccupied I guess, but maybe in hindsight the distraction would have been welcome.
