Bill Moyers is talking about evangelical Christian environmentalists. They're devoutly Christian and they believe pollution and global warming and such are offensive to God. It's the most hopeful I've felt in years. And they scare the willies out of the whackaloons.
That was REALLY interestning. I'd love to see the two sides throw down over the idolatry and the worship of money.
(Though I kept giggleing when they talked about "Fossil Fuels." I wanted Moyers to say, 'dude, do you BELIEVE in fossils?"
Re microwave weirdness:
Am I the only person who uses the microwave for cooking, not just reheating? As in, I make stuff in the microwave from scratch?
In college I used to make pasta in the microwave. But most stuff was microwave-intended.
Microwave is great for steaming vegetables, "baking" potatoes.
I nuke frozen pizzas for lunch here at work, then roll them up into nummy pizza burritos.
But then, it's universally acknowledged that I have the culinary taste of a pathetic person.
Microwave is great for steaming vegetables, "baking" potatoes.
And in general doing low fat cooking. I make all sorts of "stir fry" dishes in the microwave, either fat free or using only a teaspoon of fat per person. (Yes you can cook chicken dishes in the microwave from scratch without the chicken coming out tough. The secret is enough liquid and keeping the setting low enough).
Why bother?
Well as I said as low fat as you wanna be, plus you can cook entirely in dishwasher safe dishes. For meals from scratch time saving on actual cooking is not that great - but there have been times when knowing that after-dinner cleanup will be a breeze has made the difference between eating at home and going out.
Why did no one tell me that Nelly Furtado has been possessed by Pink, who is apparently now using her body to record Hall & Oates covers? [link]

Ah, but that presupposes having a dishwasher as well.
I am scared of your link, Matt.
Currently, Memphis, TN. It's homebase.
Welcome, Airstream! Matt the Bruins Fan is also a Memphian. My parents and 3 of my sisters live in and around Memphis (I can't really claim it as my parents moved there after I graduated from high school and I only lived there a couple of years plus summers while in school).
I have a dishwasher! I use it as a drying rack. About once a year , I run it empty to clean out the dust that accumulates on the bottom. I've honestly never understood the angst of post-cooking cleaning. I mean, it is well documented in other people, but I just don't get it. I hate having dirty dishes around, I don't mind doing dishes, no big. Very often I'll be washing my cooking dishes out before I sit down to eat.
