Another week. A new month. A new season ahead.
Seerious KyootYesterday was organization and cleaning day. I spent much time reorganizing my photography equipment into inventory crates and containers, incorporating the new lights and stands. I think things are pretty much where I want them to be, though I still need a new bag for the 10 ft. stands. And a new roll of seamless paper.
Next came the Big Clean in the kitchen. I also made chicken and rice, did a brief grocery run, and consolidated the recycling. I spent several hours rescuing my youngest daughter's Dell laptop from the abyss of Non-Internet-Connectedness, and succeeded!!! I took a break to watch Michael Clayton, with which I was unimpressed. That said, I could watch George Clooney read a phone book and be happy.
I had a yummy conversation with my Mom (*waves*) and we giggled a lot.
I have listened to this song six time in the past few days. I love this song, for many reasons, especially One Reason, and also because of the harmony which weaves it's way through my day...hope you like it too..."Give up the Ghost" by Storyhill:

Your Daily Dose of Cool Things:
Your Daily Dose of Inspiring Words:
"Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune."
"Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it." Noam Chomsky
Your Daily Dose of Wicked-Good Food:
Sunflower Seed Snack
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2 cups roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
3/4 cup rice malt syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pam spray (or similar) Spray the pan, the spatula and the measuring cup to assist in lessening the "sticky" factor.
Stir the syrup and vanilla into the sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and turn out onto a greased cookie sheet. Spread to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch or so. Bake at 350 on the bottom rack for about 15 minutes, until it is bubbly and lightly browned, (it will look "foamy" for a while. Then it will appear less so, and that is when you need to look more often) checking frequently to assure it won't burn. Run a knife through to cut into squares while still warm (but not HOT), then allow to cool completely before eating. Sometimes the squares from the middle of the pan are more chewy, not as crunchy, but I like them that way,too.
Sunflower seeds are high in protein and good oils, and sesame seeds are high in calcium. Rice malt is sweet, but not overly so, and has a lower glycemic index than other syrups.
