    Thanks for the sympathy, guys.

     

    You could say that its been a long time coming, I've always either been to spineless to end it or I just convinced myself that maybe we would be able to change and make it work. I only put myself in a more difficult situation.

     

    I'll probably be taking the cat. The silly thing thinks it's #2.

    U.S. Needs More Inflation to Speed Recovery, Say Mankiw, Rogoff

     

    Un-fucking-believable. I'll just repeat what I said in January. If we do take this path, and I think it the most likely path, it will ultimately end in a currency crisis. These idiots are conflating inflation (expansion of money supply) with the effects of inflation (general rise in prices). Massive inflation has already occurred but it will take time for that inflation to be distributed throughout the economy and have a widespread effect on prices, which it inevitably will, without exception. Just one of the many problems with this idea is that the money will reach the rich first and poor last, and the effect on prices will start long before that money gets to the poorest, and will be the source of just one of many future exacerbations of our problems. This is the type of temporal problem that they don't seem to have any grasp of.

     

    Look at the insane increase that has occurred in our monetary base already (which will eventually have a multiplied effect the money supply once banks return to the usual fractional reserve practices):

    Strange how they don't mention Portugal at all, its been a real-world test of alternative policies applied to every drug. Actually, the whole article seems like naive (or misleading) conjecture. In all reality, marijuana legalization would most likely lead to something similar to what has happened with beer microbreweries in the US. You'd have a multitude of competing 'micronurseries' who try to provide something unique and enjoyable in order to establish a name for themselves.

     

    The idea of a foreign cartel improvising by creating superstrength pot that hospitalizes people is absurd. That implies that you could make illegal 150 proof low-quality beer to get an edge on American microbreweries. They would have to improvise by providing quality at a competitive price, which is exactly how free markets within a legal framework have been demonstrated to work throughout history.

     

    If the Obama administration halts federal raids on California dispensaries and possibly intervenes in federal cases like the one involving Charlie Lynch, I'll take that as an extremely positive sign, but I haven't seen that yet.

    Actually, I was all over the place around the Honolulu area and a little bit of the north shore. I wasn't really there as a tourist, I went there with my girlfriend at the time to meet her family and friends during Christmas break. I was fortunate enough to get an inside look at life there and to also eat home cooked meals.

    Awesome.

     

    I was in Honolulu (Aiea) during New Years Eve about 10 years ago... from about 5pm to about 2 am there was an incessant roar of fireworks going off in every back yard and a thick haze of smoke to go with it. It was sort of like smoke grenades and machine guns going off for hours on end.

     

    I also remember standing in a crowded store and thinking that I was the only 6 foot plus blond person in a sea of 5 foot Asians.

    When I was growing up, hunting rifles were stored unsecured in the closet. Gun safety has far more to do with the parents than with the parent's gun safe. I knew exactly what a gun could do, how to use it, and how not to use it. Not that gun safes are a bad idea now-a-days...

     

    If I ever bought a gun for myself it would be either a Sig Sauer P228 or a shotgun like yours.

    Second Level of Hell

     

    You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.

     

    Booya!

    Well, I don't have a recipe for the green chile, I use this :

    http://www.505chile.com/greenchile/

     

    It has the best flavor in my opinion. This is for a large batch, so you might want to cut everything in half. Everything is cooked in a large pot.

     

    I use 2 of the regular jars of medium heat green chile sauce (the jars on top in the picture on the website). I puree them in a blender but if you like a chunkier texture its not necessary. The green chile is about the same texture as chunky salsa.

     

    I use about 1lb of chicken breast. I usually season the chicken with a little salt/pepper/onion powder/garlic powder and sear it on both sides in a little oil in the bottom of the pot, but that's optional of course.

     

    After searing the chicken, pour the green chile into the pot along with about an equivalent amount of chicken broth. Stir it up and let it simmer for a couple of hours (you can also make it in a crock pot). Its done when you can push a spoon or spatula through the chicken.

     

    Fish the chicken breasts out of the stew and cut them up. They should basically fall apart as you cut them. Put the chicken back into the stew.

     

    That's the basic stew. I usually make some instant rice and put it in there if I'm going to eat it as stew. The rice will tend to thicken it up a bit so if you do this you might want to use more chicken broth. You can use the basic stew as a topping for just about anything that goes with green chile.

     

    Its also good to have when you have any sort of congestion or sore throat because it will seriously clear you out.

    Hell yes I want lasagna.

     

    I cook the same way. My wife says I'm a good cook, but I think its just that I know what I like when it comes to flavors. Like you said, its a creative process and you get better at it over time.

     

    I got my start when I was a poor bachelor trying to make a meal when all I had was stuff like the heel from loaf of bread and some condiments. lol

     

    Do you like green chile? I have a good recipe for green chile chicken stew.
