Hainanese chicken rice is a simple dish, but difficult to prepare. It is sort of loose Chinese risotto sizzled in a pot ... then simmered in chicken stock, chicken fat, and fragrant with ginger. The chicken rice is usually garnished with a portion of the chicken itself, and there is always a scattering of fried garlic! Ohh baby kiss me now.
You might want a bowl of soup to eat with the chicken rice too. Three sauces should be available served in bowls.
1. dark soy sauce
2. sauce of pulverized ginger in oil
3. chopped or pureed chilies lightened with a few drops of lime.
VIVA LAS CHIKINS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simon Garfunkle Garfield & the Lasagna Bridges
Like a bridge
over troubled Lasagna
I will have Goooda cheese
The noodles will be wide
.. and thin like Twiggy
I am like linggueenie
with a nice orange sauce
You can be the boss
cause I love you like Lasagna!
When you weary and small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I am on your side like tetrazeeeni
... friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over Lasagna
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled Lasagna
I will lay me down
When you down and out ...When you on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And meat juice is all around
Like a bridge over troubled Lasagna
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled Lasagna
I will lay me down
Sail on Cookie and Mardy
Sail on by !!
Your time has come to shine like tomato sauce
All your dreams are on the molten cheeses
See how they shine ( ha haaa !!! )
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over Lasagna
I will ease your mind .... OHH YES I will ( dooo da doooo )
Like a bridge over troubled Lasagna
I will ease the hungries 4 U

Kenny Rogers ... Whiskey Dude
As most of you know, I am very excited about the lake-front property that I recently acquired. My dream come true, really. I can go fishing "right out my front door".
This dream has been shattered by an unforeseen problem, and I could use some advice ...
Kenny Rodgers moved in sometime last week. At first, I thought this would be fun. Last time out, before I arrived at the cabin, I was walking down the trail to my new illustrious estate and I could hear Kenny singing "Lady" in the distance. Of course, this is one catchy tune, and I started to sing along! I turned the corner to see Mr. Rodgers throwing a whisky bottle at me. What??? He said, "Nobody sings that song but me!!", and slammed the door shut.
I tried to tell him to go home, but he said that a restraining order prevented that.
The cabin is useless to me now, and I don't have the heart to call the cops. I am planning to wait it out, and see if he will just go away.

Two Crashes Result From I-94 Chase: story courtesy of WCCO
The Minneapolis Police Department and the Minnesota State Patrol were involved in a high-speed chase that resulted in two car crashes.
A high-speed chase on Interstate 94 involving a burglary suspect ended with two car crashes Tuesday afternoon.
Police said the chase began when the suspect was stopped for a traffic violation and was discovered to be a burglary suspect from a prior incident.
Lt. Matthew Langer, of the state patrol, said the pursuit began around 2 p.m. in St. Paul at I-94 and Lexington. The Minneapolis Police Department and the state patrol picked up the pursuit, along with another department.
The suspect crashed his vehicle near Brooklyn Boulevard and I-94. He suffered minor injuries and was taken into custody, Langer said. The chase also resulted in a second crash with a squad car from another department.
Thanks from Speedcat, who was stuck in a major traffic backup. BIG THUMBS DOWN!

The HollyMooners & Cheap Fortified Wines
Speedcat: Sweetheart, for our anniversary this year, I have a SPECIAL surprise for you. After we open this bottle of Champagne I'll tell you all about it.
Alice: Ohh Speedy, I am so excited!
Ed Norton: Hey Hollydale, looks like you got ripped off again. This is a cheap fortified sparkling wine ... HA .... ahhh HA HAAA!
Speedcat: SHUUUUUUUUDUP
Trixie Norton: Alice, it's funny how the boys bring home wine when they know we do not drink. I think they are always trying to trick us into something ... and happy anniversary Alice
Speedcat: Time to let the cat out of the bag. Alice, I bought us a chicken farm. Of course, if any of the chickens ever get sick, it'll be my responsibility to go and visit them.
Alice: Oh, that is a very important responsibility, Speedcat. You better start now and find out what the visiting hours are at Bellevue.
Speedcat: That did it, Alice - that did it. You have just broken the camel's back with that straw. You have ridiculed me and my poultry ranch. You have just made fun of something very big that's close to my heart.
Alice: The only thing big that's close to your heart is your stomach. I also know who you bought the chickens from Speedcat, and they are all old and worthless.
( Speedcat paces back and forth in the room for a minute )
Speedcat: I have - I've got an explanation. A perfect one. I'm a dope. Not a run-of-the-mill dope, the world's champ. For years I've been talking for granted the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me - you. I've never shown you the appreciation you deserve, Alice. You could walk outta that door right now and I wouldn't blame you. You deserve something better than me. There are a million guys who'd give you anything if they could have a girl like you.
Alice: Ralph, I don't want a million. There's just one guy I want ... you.
Speedcat: Baby, you're the greatest !! Har har, hardee har har! Bang, zoom! Hamana-hamana-hamana-hamana.
Ed Norton: Sheesh. What a NUT.

Wander through Smoked Mirrors and Stigma
Wander
Wander through pool reflections
Wander through smoked mirrors and stigma
Stem and root are genuine ... yet leaves turn grey
My best cow Bessie just ate a bunch of hay
Glimpses catch her
in quiet movements and glances
... wind peeling back the layers of unique magic
tongues of poplar yellow now tragic
They come as slices of sunshine
across pine needles and beds of soft rust
They flash orange red and crimson
branches pencil thin against me
soda makes me urine while cruising in Tallahassee
Perfect movements that open mine eyes!
shift the landscape and let the veil of consciousness wane
... like gold weather vanes
(on Christen's farm)
But the wind dies and many think in threes
August has caught demise in play
created sight where meanings change elements
allows the syrup to cover the ground
brushing aside status quo and standard fancy
... why waste time reading a novel by Tom Clancy
I write poems that stimulate and intrigue
a feat of feet and toes count them five ten
when I want some good rice
- I call Uncle Ben's
These are the saturated qualms of endearment you see
Arugula salads for nomenclatures ... and me
Special thanks and hat tip to DCR and his post, "Satisfaction Guaranteed, or Not"
