Vegetarian Meal For Father's Day

If you've ever found yourself surrounded with ravenous meat eaters stuffing themselves with bar-b-qued hamburgers and hot dogs while you go straight for the salad and olive tray then this could be the most important report you've ever read.

This past Father's Day the weather was superb and friends and neighbors had gathered to feast on pounds of grilled meat. But...

The event was not "vegetarian friendly" until the head chef discovered, to his horror, that a guest preferred a "non-muscle" menu selection. So, this is what he cooked up...

Needed: (1) Quart Sauce Pan + (1) 8" Frying Pan + Ingredients

In a 1-Quart sauce pan he added 3 cups of water along with 1/2 cup of lentils and a 1/3 cup of barley.

The water and contents were placed on an open fire and when the water started to boil he allowed the cooking to proceed for an additional 4 minutes. Then he added about 1.5 cups of Campanelle pasta (could have substituted Rotini, Elbow Macaroni, Fiori, Spaghetti or Raman Noodles) and allowed to cook for an additional 10 minutes. Drain liquid through a strainer and transfer to a serving plate.

Now, pull out the frying pan and add about 1/5 tablespoons of Canola oil or virgin olive oil. Heat the oil on a medium fire for about 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup of crushed walnuts and 1/4 cup of crushed or slivered almonds to the hot oil. Stir. Add 1/3 cup of frozen peas and stir often. Once the walnuts and almonds begin to get a nice roasted appearance turn off the heat and allow to cool in the pan for about 1 minute.

Then, take a ceramic bowl and add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of spaghetti sauce and cover the bowl with a ceramic saucer. Place in a microwave and heat for 20 seconds at high setting. Repeat for an additional 15 seconds if needed.

Pour hot spaghetti sauce over pasta/lentil/barley mix.

Place the fried "walnuts + almonds + peas" mixture near the "sauced pasta" mix and serve.

This "easy-to-prepare" meal is not only nutritious (contains proteins, fiber, calcium, iron, folic acid, magnesium from the lentils and iron and fiber from the barley) but is absolutely delicious.

You can spice up the dish by adding a dash of shredded dry dill weed, pepper, tumeric and/or terragon.

Variety can be introduced by added frozen corn kernels and/or frozen string beans.

Enjoy.

Secret Service Name For First Lady Plane

Air Force One is the Air Force aircraft within which the President of the United States flies.

Marine One is the Marine aircraft (helicopter) within which the President of the United States flies.

But if the President should jump aboard a Navy F-16 aircraft does that vehicle become known as Navy One? Well, as a matter of fact...

It is called "Navy One". Back around the early part of May in 2003, President George W. Bush got into a flight suit and flew in a four-seat Navy Viking aircraft that took him onto the deck of an aircraft carrier. While he was on board that Viking became "Navy One".

What about Air Force Two? That's the name reserved for the vice-President's Air Force aircraft.

And what about the Secret Service name for the First Lady's plane. According to a U.S. News & World Report article, dated 9 May 2005, it's called Bright Star.

Now the real question is: If the President of the United States took a Yellow Cab would that vehicle be called "Taxi One"?

Response Rate From Congressmen

On 26 April 2005 I posted a blog called: "Regarding the Lt. Pantano Debacle As Of April 2005".

If you scroll down this page you should see it.

In that blog I copied the text of a letter I sent to the three congressmen who represent me: Senator Schumer, Senator Clinton and Representative Jim Walsh.

As of 20 June 2005 I got only one response and that letter was a generic form letter.

Response rate = 33.33%... just a slightly better response rate from absolute zero!

Take a look at this beautiful response below and if you ever become an anointed "high-muckity-muck" and discover that you are too busy to respond intelligently to your constituents you have my permission to cut and paste Chuckie Schumer's letter that follows (for all I know he cut and pasted it from some other congressman's boiler plate letters to her constituents... like Barbara Boxer or Barbara Mikulski... but not Harriet Beecher Stowe... at least she has an excellent excuse for not responding to mail):

May 23, 2005
Mr. Gerard LeBlond
Street Address
City, State, Zip

Dear Mr. LeBlond:

Thank you for contacting me to express your opinion. I appreciate your taking the time to get in touch with me. Your comments are important to me.

Please be assured that I will take the time to consider your views. A democracy is only as strong as it [sic] citizens, and nothing is more powerful than concerned citizens who take the time to express themselves. I urge you to keep writing and want you to know that I will keep on fighting on behalf of you and all New Yorkers in the United States Senate.

As we consider legislation in the 109th Congress, I will keep your comments and wishes in mind. Again, thank you for contacting me. If I may be of any further assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Sincerely,
Signature
Charles E. Schumer
United States Senate

--End of Message from the Congressman ---

Isn't that a real work of art?

The signature, by the way, looks like it was created by a "signature" machine.

It was made to look like it was penned by hand with a blue magic marker but no marker ink bled to the opposite side of the official "2005" water-marked government-issued paper.

Maybe he had his staff "google" my name and, after discovering that I didn't vote for him, sent me the "didn't-vote-for-me-response" letter.

From sell info products online dot com (www.sellinfoproductsonline.com) this is LeBlond, Gerard LeBlond and I'll see you there.

P.S. I just mailed out another letter to the "dynamic trio" on a different matter and await anxiously for their responses.
