dark chocolate mhmm

http://ediblyeducated.com/beginners-guide-to-homemade-organic-dark-chocolate/
slightly better ??


for 1/2 cup ... etc ....
2 tbsp = 30ml

for 1 cup of powder/butter 
6 tbsp = 90ml

Ingredients

• 1 cup (218 g) cocoa butter* (I like this brand*)
• 1/3 - 1/2 cup (80-120 ml) maple syrup (amount depending on preferred sweetness)
• 1 cup (96 g) cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (56 g) roasted almonds*
• 1/8 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. Melt cocoa butter in a double boiler or in a glass mixing bowl set over a small saucepan with 1 inch of water over medium heat. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in a mixing bowl until completely liquid.
2. Once melted, remove from heat and add maple syrup and whisk to combine. When the mixture is completely fluid with no separation, add cacao or cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Whisk to thoroughly combine.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed - I found 1/3 cup to be perfect.
4. Pour the chocolate into candy molds (if you have them), mini paper cupcake liners, or simply line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the chocolate on top. Top with roasted almonds and sprinkle of salt.
5. Set in the refrigerator or freezer to harden for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
6. Once completely solid, break or cut into pieces/bars. These can be kept at room temperature for serving. But for best freshness, store chocolate in an airtight container or freezer bag in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks, or the freezer for 1-2 months.

Question: Have you noticed that you have discovered new books that seem better than 10-30 years ago?

Question: Have you noticed that you have discovered new books that seem better than 10-30 years ago? (yes, there are still tons of crap written each, year, but have you found a GEM, something that jumped to your top 10 list) My friend Terry Green and I were exchanging words today. Terry has recently introduced me to ... 3-4 authors who have BLOWN ME AWAY. Not a little. Not "just" different or new. But broken my 10 ten list and made me question the ones that were on the list in the first place. I have read and loved Game of Thrones 10 years ago, long before the TV series. "If it ends well, it could beat Tolkien!" Brandon Sanderson So Terry screws things up, toss "The Way of Kings", Brandon Sanderson. BOOM "If this ends well, it crushes GoT". Brandon Sanderson Sanderson also wrote a very well like Mistborn series. Easy read, some AMAZING spaces and characters and ideas and ... Nailed what exactly what it would be like to be a GOD for just .... an hour, just a minute, just a second. NAILED IT DAMN Robert Jackson Bennett "City of Stairs", Damn. Ok, this was different and interesting and wonderful. "City of Blades" is the follow up and quite enjoyable. Richard K. Morgan My crazy friend Joel throw Altered Carbon, Richard K. Morgan, at me. Nice! He also wrote The Steel Remains. DAMN!! Patrick Rothfuss
"The Name of the Wind" SO Then Terry emails and says "Stop what you are reading right NOW and READ THIS NOW" Being a jerk, I ignore him and finish the 3000 pages of crap that I had in front of it (short review? garbage with FANATIC FOLLOWERS no no no no) Patrick Rothfuss Finally get to TNotW ... yup .... Clearly hands down one of my favorite books .... of ever. Poetry. Music. Love. Magic. Fey. Loss. Hope. Despair. The next book in the series is .... as good or better? That is impossible. Patrick Rothfuss The Slow Regard of Silent Things But then I did a terrible thing .... Patrick Rothfuss wrote a tiny novella, following one of the characters (Auri) from Wind, over 7 days. Chapter 3, balled my eyes out. Got to the end and was shaken. This was not a story. This was not a book. One character. Zero dialog (does internal musings count?) Heart Shatter. ok ... now I have NOTHING TO READ, everything that is queued up is CRAP. 3 stars at best? NOOOOO Brandon Sanderson Elantris WHoops found the first novel by Brandon Sanderson! "Well, I love everything that I have read so far, DUH, easy choice. Elantris, starts good, gets better, builds nicely, I really like this, and FLAT ... sigh ... the end just FALLS FLAT. Good book, but not top 10 on my list. But ok fine ... Brandon Sanderson “The Emperor’s Soul” (Elantris) I have already bought the next book by Brandon Sanderson. DUH, I have issues when I find an author that I like. SHUSH. FUCK Nothing like Elantris. NOTHING 1) Written in my favorite format: Diary ... 100 days 2) finished reading it at lunch, while eating out, ... cried at my table ... soul struck ... Two books in one week, that now sit at #1 and #2 of my books this decade and maybe ever. Light and Dark. Life and Death. Shattered now what do I read??? :P

eat me now

2016 11 04 - squash conditioning

Players frequently limit their opponents to those of similar skill. However,
conditioned games are a great way to level the playing field between
competitors of varying levels of experience. Conditioned games place
restrictions on what each player can do on court-a classic example is
three-quarter court.

Each example provided below applies to players with a particular skill level
difference.

3.0 v. 5.5: Double Bounce

3.0 - Under normal play, a top-level player would have no problem
dispatching a 3.0 player in three quick games. In this conditioned game, the
3.0 is allowed to let the ball bounce twice, allowing significantly more
time to prepare for each shot. The 3.0 player will no longer be rushed and
has more time to focus on making a good swing at the ball.

5.5 - This player is not allowed to volley the ball; it must always bounce.
This achieves two things: (1) the weaker player has more time to recover,
and (2) a well-hit length by the weaker player can't be cut off and may
cause trouble for the opponent in the backcourt.

squash-mag-oct-2016-p3.0 v. 4.5: No Back Wall

3.0 - With a smaller gap between levels of play, the restrictions become
less stringent. In this conditioned game, the 3.0 player wins the point any
time he gets the ball to the hit the back wall after one bounce. This
encourages proper length, and places the movement of the better player under
quite a bit of pressure.

4.5 - The 4.5 player also has a back wall restriction, but the inverse of
the 3.0 player. The 4.5 player loses the point if she hits a ball that hits
the back wall prior to bouncing twice. This prevents the better player from
overpowering her opponent, and makes it harder to trap the opponent in the
back corners.

3.0 v. 3.5: Straight Only

3.0 - For this conditioned game, there is only a marginal gap between each
player. The 3.0 player plays without restriction, able to hit the ball
anywhere on the court.

3.5 - The 3.5 player may only hit the ball straight. Both the front and
backcourt can be used, but no cross-courts or boasts may be played. While
this seems to be a challenging restriction with only a small level
difference between the players, it is surprising how effective this
straight-only tactic can be. To level the playing field further, add a
variation where the 3.5 player can hit a crosscourt-but only off the volley.
There are hundreds of variations of conditioned games; have fun coming up
with your own at home to get the great workout-at any skill level-only
squash can provide!

Living in the Future - #20047 - LED Light Bulbs

Living in the Future - #20047 - LED Light Bulbs

The future is now.

So, now that I have almost completely replaced all the old bulbs with LED bulbs, I have had to learn new behaviors.  In the old days, you would buy multiple bulbs, you needed replacement bulbs. Bulbs burnt out all the time.

Today? Stop buying extra bulbs!!!
By the time that the LED bulbs burn out, the newer bulbs will be cheaper and better.
Save your money.

Polar Bear Reality

1) the last ice age began about 110,000 years ago and ended about 15,000 years ago
2) the oldest known polar bear fossil is a 130,000 to 110,000-year-old jaw bone
3) The mitochondrial DNA of the polar bear diverged from the brown bear, Ursus arctos, roughly 150,000 years ago
4) Fossils show that between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago, the polar bear's molar teeth changed significantly from those of the brown bear.
5) Brown and Polar bears interbreed. (However, the two species have mated intermittently for all that time, most likely coming into contact with each other during warming periods, when polar bears were driven onto land and brown bears migrated northward.)

Polar bears are declining because we haven't been in an ice-age for 15,000 years.

if you are driving, use valet
west side of Monroe, right at Michigan

head up to 12 "the gallery"
give them my name, etc etc etc

feel free to wander around or I can drag you around afterwards

atkins .... some of the things that I learend

1) get a leather belt, punch new holes when the belt gets too big ... OWN IT
2) you are not ON a DIET, you are changing your eating habits (aka changing your diet)
3) if you stop, you will get fat again
4) in the beginning, dont worry about calories, portion sizes, losing weight. worry about zero carbs. no fucking sugar, no fucking starches
5) fruit is filled with sugar - period
6) fuck the FDA and "nutritionists" ... neither are science
7) FUCKING BOREDOM is HARD
8) finding snack food is HARD, get out of the rut
9) throwing food away is OK ....

so .....

• forget about "breakfast food", because you will die of egg boredom if you stick to breakfast
• bacon should only be cooked by the package or more - baking it on a sheet in the oven is easiest - line pan with foil for easy clean up
• meat ... hot dogs, sausage ... every kind of sausage, and the more. easy to cook, easy to rewarm, easy to snack up. mmmmmm
• cheese - omfg - there are 12 billion kinds of cheese, get different ones every day/week
• celery and carrots ... as a scoop to eat hummus or cream cheese .. etc etc
• everything from the store has sugar ... look look look 
• frozen roasted chicken strips ... nuke and eat ...
• frozen shrimp - nuke and eat
• you will need "snack" food .... frozen stuff saves you TIME .... keeps you from the crap
• fucking boredom is so hard ... omlettes, never add the same thing, scrabbles, add something different, or the same thing
• hard boiled eggs for snacks ... whatever
• chicken salad, slices of ham steaks EASY EATING
• steak and eggs, just steak, pork chops, lamb chops, stews, more steak, burgers,
• mmmmmm bacon, I really need to cook more and have it in the fridge

• throwing away food is HARD, get over it
• burger, dont eat the bun
• pizza, dont eat the crust!!
• all the dishes that get put over pasta, subtract the pasta - TADA
• beef stroganoff, sausage and peppers and onions, pretty much every dish
• For awhile, I was getting potbelly sandwiches, with extra meat, and not eating the bread
• then they started putting them on salad bowls for me ... OMG so tasty
• fuck now I cant eat salads???? arghhhh
  
• avocado and net carbs
• the keys is getting rid of all starches and sugars
• avocados have massive amounts of fiber and tiny amount of carbs. go for it
• tons of apps to keep track of what you eat and how much ... meh
  
• later, assuming success, you will find yourself eating less, that 5 eggs omlette was too much ... that steak was too much ... etc ... but dont stress it until you hit a plateau
  
• fuckcing boredom .... hardest fucking part ....sheeeshhhhhh
  
• better than bouillon - IF you are going down the path of bouillon for getting extra salt ... this soup basse is amaazing ... spoonful, hot water, stir in mug ... mmmmm seriously good. I lived on the chcicken, beef, and vegetable ...
  
• boredom - if you keep a log of what you eat, and then share it with me or others, we can toss out a list of all the things that you could eat, but diddnt ...
• fissh, chicken, oh look TURKEY ... mmmm duck duck and more duck
• chorizo, andulie, polish, german, hard salamis,
•  booze ... 
• beer has the most carbs
• wine has about half of beer
• vodka has zero carbs
• So while you still have calories ... which will get burned before fat, still better than beers ... dammit ... I need to stop my beer again ... sigh
  
• odd things that might happen on atkins
• I found that I magically started walking faster, and everyone else was slow - WTF ??
• taste ... everything tastes different now ... sugars taste INSANELY too sweet ... which is a good thing 
• time - it all takes time, but if you go full atkins, you will notice huge changes, insanely quickly
• shrimp lobster crabs mmmmm seafood

so yah, it is different, not hard ... the hard part is the fucking ADDICTION to sugar ... shudder ... sigh , all this food talk, and I got nothing to eat in the house 

re low carb bread, recipes ....

I have found all those things to be stupid and misleading ... you dont need vegia pasta ... just eat more of whatever that was going on it.  You dodnt need bread, jsut eat a second burger or chicken breast or whatever ...

I would get extra bacon and extra avocado on a burger to push the burger into a meal ... tada ...
AH .... no ketchup ? fine ... mustard and mayo ... nom nom nom

oh god, I need to get work done

tips for moving

obviously all advice is based on can you afford
1) buy boxes, esp large-ish ones ... you always need more boxes than you think you need
2) buy clean/blank news sheet (obviously old newspaper works fine too) you can never use TOO much wrapping/padding
3) get the good tape ... the cheap tape doesnt stick and will rip and get a lot of it ... running out of tape? ARGHHH
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XJOBUS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
4) of course, now you need a cheap tape dispenser ... ace hardware or office supply ...

labeling !
what room does the box go in, what's in the box, how critical is it to open the box
a) couple fat sharpies go a long way
b) get or make pre printed color coded labels for which room ....
c) label the box with a number
0 - open today - whatever is in here you need NOW
1 - can wait until tomorrow
2 - can wait until next week
3 - why didnt I throw this out already???
d) write something else on the box about what's inside ... anything ... will help jog memory ...
e) take a picture of what's inside? alas ... this will slow everything downnnnnnn

Packing
a) OMG it is too late to think about "should I get rid of this or not?" having to think about each item will slow everything down to grinding halt ... just wrap it, box it, worry about it LATER
b) big heavy items on the bottom, light fragile on the top ...

IMPORTANT STUFF THAT YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT
Pack this stuff completely separate from EVERYTHING ELSE.
Move it yourself, make sure it gets put somewhere out of the WAY in the new place.
The last thing that you want broken or lost are keepsakes.
Spend extra care and attention to these.

OMG, HYDRATE
OMG the cardboard boxes will shred your hands ... little tiny micro cuts on your finger tips ... like sand paper ...

HYPERPARATHYROIDISM - diagnosed

"You have a slightly elevated calcium level and the parathyroid hormone level is just a tad higher than it should be for that level. So, very mild hyperparathyroidism; no indication for specific treatment at this juncture. However, I would suggest that you stop all calcium supplement"

SHE'S THE ONE who had me START taking calcium in the first place???
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

there is a lot of debate on whether I should get surgery or not, so talking a specialist, regardless of her desire.
FFS

oh wait what?
my TSH is also 2.9 (should be 1.0)
"Thyroid level is reasonably good on the 224mcg daily."

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

When I am at 1.0, I am like a nomal person (well normal for me).

When I am 2.0 or higher, cant do shit, cant sleep, no energy ... blah blah blah

Between these two things, it explains why I cant move.

FFS, the hyperparathyroid alone explains 1200 of my symptoms ...

but she just wants to sit and wait

well at least I was right ...

AHAHAH HAHAHAHAHA

There is a 6-7 season story arc ... in the strangest of shows.
The story follows an EVIL character, with no redeeming qualities.
During the long arcs, this character develops , asking some of the deepest meta physical of all time. period. developing the most unexpected, the most passionate love scene of all time.
7 years later, this PURELY EVIL character, hated by all, ... well, you say it coming, but his redemption is the best development that I have ever seen. Probably never to be beaten.

Buffy: How long was I gone?
Spike: Hundred and forty-seven days yesterday. Uh... hundred and forty-eight today. 'Cept today doesn't count, does it? How long was it for you... where you were?
Buffy: Longer.

Spike: Well, I haven't been to a hell dimension just of late, but I do know a thing or two about torment.

Buffy: I was happy. Wherever I was... I was happy... at peace. I knew that everyone I cared about was all right. I knew it. Time... didn't mean anything. Nothing had form. But I was still me, you know? And I was warm. And I was loved. And I was finished. Complete. I - I don't understand theology or dimensions, any of it really... but I think I was in heaven. And now I'm not. I was torn out of there. Pulled out, by my friends. Everything here is hard and bright and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch. 

This is Hell. Just getting through the next moment, and the one after that. 

Knowing what I've lost. 

They can never know. Never.

Lucifer vs Dead Like Me

Lucifer .....

so ....

Like "Dead Like Me", the show talks about "obvious" things without being judgmental ....

Lucifer 0 ""shining one, light-bearer"- a name, literally "bringer of dawn", for the morning star.[14] The word Lucifer is taken from the Latin Vulgate,[15] which translates הֵילֵל as lucifer,[16][17] meaning "the morning star, the planet Venus", or, as an adjective, "light-bringing".[18]"

The story is mater of fact, rather than insulting ... he speaks of his father ... and choices ... that he was the first and the most powerful angel ...

I have no idea where it is going ... but free will and choices ...

there is ... an unusual amount of "laugh out loud" assertions ... "I told you that I was Lucifer" , " I told you that I am immortal" ... and the struggle of mortals to even believe, let alone comprehend ....

and WHY would Lucifer be helping an homicide cop?

the ultimate metaphysical question is can even lucifer morning start being redeemed ? (in theory of course)

Dead Like Me continually dance the dance.

reapers harvested souls, to send then one ... but nothing was ever know or asserted as to where ... other than SOME where clearly doing to a not so nice place ... lol

Then there is the redemption of Spike.

DAMN
