The Obamas: Conspicuous Sacrifice vs. Conspicuous Consumption
The Obamas: Conspicuous Sacrifice vs. Conspicuous Consumption By John Dietrich A recurring theme of the Obama White House is "sacrifice." The president has repeatedly stressed the need for us to tighten our belts.Swedish Meatballs
This recipe comes from the book "Savoring The Seasons of the Northern Heartland", written by Beth Dooley and Lucia Watson. My favorite way to serve them is with the meatballs and gravy over egg noodles. Completely droolworthy, you betcha! :feedme: If you wish to serve them traditionally, 86 the noodles and opt for sides of boiled new potatoes, lefse, and brown butter. If you don't want to fork around with making meatballs, make a Swedish Meat Loaf by packing the mixture into a 9-inch loaf pan and baking at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. SWEDISH MEATBALLS Serves 8 1 pound pork sausage 1/2 pound ground beef 1/2 pound ground veal 2 slices white bread 1/4 cup milk 2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Butter or vegetable oil for frying Gravy 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 cups homemade dark stock or low-salt canned beef broth In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except the butter. (It's best to use your hands to do the mixing.) Shape into small meatballs. Then heat the butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat and gently brown the meatballs on all sides. Place them on a heated platter in the oven to keep warm. To make the gravy, blot the grease from the skillet. Add the butter and melt over low heat. Stir in the flour and cook about 1 to 2 minutes, or until brown and bubbly. Stir in the mustard. Slowly stir in the stock and cook until the gravy is thickened and does not taste "floury." Put the meatballs back into the skillet, cover, and cook over very low heat for about 10 minutes.Soup-tastic Adventures: ugh.

New Rob Interview with UK's Sunday Times
On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.Rethinking Juvenile Justice
I think most people if given a review of the current juvenile justice system would agree that it is not only counter productive to its purpose but it is also costly in more ways than the obvious. There is good reason to reject this system and some States and Counties have recognized that need as well. McCullum Youth Court program in Oakland Ca.What's so funny about Joe Biden?
Juxtaposed against Joe Biden, Barack Obama appears so scripted. Biden jokes about it himself. While giving the commencement address at the Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, Colo., on Wednesday, Biden noticed that one of his teleprompters had fallen.Ben and Jerry please don't listen to PETA
WATERBURY, Vt. -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow's milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman. "PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says.Is this really news?
