Food therapy

Whenever things start getting wild over at Jake's Place, someone posts a recipe.

Things there did, indeed, get a bit over the top recently and so there were several recipes posted.

I feel as though the entire world is a bit over the top these days what with ...

the Roman Catholic Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith declaring that only it, the Roman Catholic Church, is the place where Christ on earth subsists;

the White House's hamstringing the previous Surgeon General, prohibiting him to speak on stem cell research and other important matters;

and now proposing another Surgeon General who wrote that homosexuality is contrary to Christian teaching;

the continuing sagas of Iraq and Afghanistan;

the White House's race to the bottom except that every time I think they have hit bottom, they manage to find a new low;

and, of course, as the 'Anglican World Turns.'

So maybe we should emulate the guy who strung up his lawn chair to 105 helium balloons to travel 193 miles at 25 mph. He described the flight as mostly peaceful and serene, with occasional turbulence, like a hot-air balloon ride sitting down.

Meanwhile, here's tonight's dinner:

black beans (rinsed)
cooked corn
one plum tomato
cilantro
jalepeño
a little bit of onion
vinegar

Buen provecho.
