A Near Perfect Weekend

And well deserved, I might add.

It’s been a quiet, peaceful, and oddly productive weekend here. The warm weather and bright sun have certainly lifted everyone’s spirits – mine included – had a long conversation with a best friend that lasted for almost 2 hours (phone calls are more fun than swapping emails) and am now about to do some cooking. Topping the list, a Chicken Jambalaya and a huge Creole to be frozen in individual containers for future dinners.

Have neither listened to, nor watched news programming since Friday, and aside from the swine flu rapidly spreading around the world, including the US, I'm reasonably certain that the same old stories are being covered over and over with new pundits offering their 'expertise' and analysis and all.

There are two interesting documentary films being released in the near future. One, "Food, Inc" (the trailer is posted below) about the secrecy behind food processing and how it is already impacting our lives. The second, "Outrage" focuses on the closeted politicians (mostly Republican) who campaign against equal rights for the LGBT community; the hypocrisy in mainstream media who are complicit in keeping their secrets. I've not been able to find a trailer for this one yet, but I'll keep hunting. It's playing at Film Fests across the US this month and next.

There are a few whale-related documentaries on tonight, so that's my Sunday evening's entertainment.

I hope your weekend has been so blessed, as well.

Cooking Time!

More later.
