"I always went online to see the reactions that people would have after someone got killed. Snoop, when she got killed, oh you should’ve seen it. You would’ve thought somebody really died. Like it was a funeral happening: “RIP Snoop, we gon’ miss you,” and all this craziness. They were just two lines short of making “In Memory Of” T-Shirts. Same thing with Omar. Stringer, same thing. Then when I die, it’s like “good for him. They should’ve killed his ass sooner."

Conservative Judaism: Dragged, kicking and screaming, into the Century of the Fruitbat?

(NB: "Conservative", not conservative. For the actual right-wing Jews, you want the Orthodox, and specifically the Haredi. But it's a start?)

More salad dressing that doesn't suck!

Fresh basil-honey dressing!

Originally stolen from this page, I modified it because vinegar is disgusting and does not go on salad.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup packed whole basil leaves, fresh off the plant.
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup olive oil (mixed Extra Virgin with light-tasting - wanted olive flavour, thought that pure Extra Virgin would be too strong.)
1/4 cup mixed lemon juice and apple cider, about 50/50, because "cider vinegar" and I thought the lemon might be too strong at 100%.
Pinch salt

Procedure:
Put everything in a blender. Blend.

Results: Delicious basilly HOLY CRAP SWEET dressing. My first thought is the apple cider was a mistake - this dressing NEEDS more sharp and sour. Next time, it will be lemon juice, maybe with lime juice added. And a little more of the Extra Virgin, although probably not 100% - the basil and honey are so strong that they really need some powerful competition. My second thought was "oooh, better have some more". DELICIOUS.

It's going on mixed lettuce, celery, bell peppers, baby carrots, and cucumber, because that's what I had. Again, this is STRONG stuff - I'm thinking it really should go on stronger-tasting greens, like the mixed field greens I normally don't like because they overpower everything.

Then I'm going to try it on vanilla ice cream.

And tomorrow, I'm headed back to that same website to make Sweet Basil Devilled Eggs.
