I am Karan from Olympia, WA. Almost every other name used here is a pseodonym pseudonim pseudonymn alias. The rest of it is true - mostly - and all of it is my own. Don't even think about taking any of it, unless of course, you want to pay me.

    We were then we didn’t

    Leonard and I thought we were headed to California today. 

    Now we’re not. 

    I am so relieved on so many levels.

    Now isn’t that a mysterious sounding post?

    Cocount oil

    Barleans Coconut OilAbout two months ago, my niece gave me a jar of coconut oil.  Out of the blue.  I had no idea what to do with it because frankly...I have no big love of coconut so why would I want to impart that flavor into any food?

    Then, last week, Vivian shared this CBN video on her website:

    In response, I googled ‘coconut oil recipe’ and found this one at the NY Times:

    Coconut Oil Roasted Sweet Potatoes

    1½ tablespoons virgin coconut oil
    1¾ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
    2 teaspoons light brown sugar, packed
    ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
    ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg.

    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat.  In a large bowl, toss together potatoes, coconut oil, sugar, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 1 hour.

    And...I just happened to have 2 sweet potatoes aging away on my kitchen counter.

    OK...so the universe is attempting to get my attention. 

    This is my new favorite way to eat sweet potatoes!  It’s easy, tasty and OMG healthy for me too! 

    Try it, you’ll like it!

    Amazon digital deals got me again

    But...Leonard is laughing at me because I’m obviously a person of at least
    two minds...and not in the renaissance sort of way like di Vinci
    but in the multiple personality way like Sybil.

    I bought 2 mp3 downloads from Amazon.com today…

    Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits The Sound of Music. - 45th Anniversary Edition
    Janis Joplin’s Greatest Hits and
    The Sound of Music. - 45th Anniversary Edition

    Yup.  Like them both.  Alot.  I’m sure if Julie had a grittier voice, she’d have
    done duets with Janis and if Janis had better connections with the movie
    industry, she’d have been Mary Poppins.

    So here you go...a video representation of two songs, I like very much.

    That smallish slimy thing

    I’ve come to the conclusion that Newt Gingrich is generally unlikable.
