"What the less-privileged have to say is usually not accorded much importance, critical thought, or..."

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 06:19:50 -0500

“

What the less-privileged have to say is usually not accorded much importance, critical thought, or respect, and yet they are supposed to prioritize, be patient with, and generally assign more importance to views, values and norms that are not their own. People in marginalized communities are often expected to educate the more privileged majority. They may be expected to patiently explain basic concepts, sometimes repeatedly. And if those with more privilege decide that they do not agree (with the less-privileged group’s tone, focus, or any number of other things other than the actual argument that is being made), those with less privilege are told, with varying degrees of subtlety, to shut the fuck up.

All the while, the perspectives, attitudes, norms and values of those with more privilege are made neutral. The power dynamics are rendered invisible, because that’s just the way things are, so there’s no point in trying to change any of it. Why are you so angry? You’re just looking for things to get mad about. You just like being offended. Why can’t you focus on other/more important things? It wasn’t meant that way. You need to hold your tongue until you’ve done x, y and z. Quit taking it personally. You’re ruining everyone’s good time. Stop trying to make everyone pay attention to your pet issue, because it doesn’t affect anyone other than you. Your demands are unreasonable. Stop complaining. Shut up.

RAW RAINBOW WRAPS w/ Mango Dressing

Prep Time: Approximately 15 minutes

Ingredients:

Wrap:

Large collard leaves

Red bell pepper, sliced

Carrots, julienned

Yellow and green zucchini squash, julienned

Purple Cabbage, chopped

Mango Dipping Sauce:

1 Ripe mango, peeled and chopped

1 Carton cherry tomatoes, about 2 cups

1/2 red bell pepper

1 Handful of fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Slice, peel, julienne, and chop all of the wrap fillings.

2. Using a sharp knife, remove all or most of the collard green stems. This allows for more flexibility when it comes time to wrap.

3. Lay out the fillings across the collard leaf and roll it up as you tuck in the sides of the leaf.

Oh man, has anyone tried this? It looks SO good!

Fuck these honkeys in Congress. Were politicians always this maniacally biased and blind? How, other than sheer stupidity, do they spew this kind of crap day after day and not realize that the public can see how utterly transparent their bullshit is?

Minimal Surface

In mathematics, a minimal surface is a surface that locally minimizes its area. This is equivalent to having a mean curvature of zero. The term “minimal surface” is used because these surfaces originally arose as surfaces that minimized total surface area subject to some constraint. Physical models of area-minimizing minimal surfaces can be made by dipping a wire frame into a soap solution, forming a soap film, which is a minimal surface whose boundary is the wire frame. However the term is used for more general surfaces that may self-intersect or do not have constraints.

Paleo Sausage Egg “McMuffin”

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:26:56 -0500

nomnompaleo:

In honor of Father’s Day, I created this recipe for my Pop. He’s a lifelong fan of breakfast sausage and eggs…and, um, English muffins. But who needs bread when the filling’s the best part?

To make this breakfast sandwich resemble those from a certain fast-food joint (you know: the one with the freaky clown mascot), you’ll need some special equipment—namely, stainless steel biscuit cutters—but if you’ve got ’em, this recipe’s a snap. Plus, you can totally eat these sammies with your hands.

Here’s what you’ll need to make one “McMuffin”:

2 tablespoons ghee, divided (plus more for greasing the biscuit cutters)

¼ pound bulk raw pork breakfast sausage

2 large eggs

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup water

1 heaping tablespoon guacamole (optional)

Here’s what to do:

Grab two stainless steel 3½-inch biscuit cutters, and grease the insides well with melted ghee. Place one cutter on a plate and fill it with the sausage meat. (You can also easily make your own bulk breakfast sausage. Here’s Jen Cereghino’s recipe. I also have a Maple Breakfast Sausage recipe in my forthcoming cookbook.)

(If you don’t have bulk sausage handy, just cook up some bacon. I just Instagrammed a photo of a Bacon Egg “McMuffin” this morning—and if you’re not already food-stalking me on Instagram, you really should.)

Gently press the meat down to uniformly shape a sausage patty.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of ghee. When the fat is shimmering, add the patty to the pan. If you really want the patty to keep its perfectly round shape, you can keep the mold on until the cooked patty shrinks away from the sides.

Clean the biscuit cutter and grease it again.

Fry the sausage about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

If your patty’s thick, you may need to cover the pan to make sure it’s cooked through. Once the patty’s ready, transfer it to a plate.

Now, onward to the eggy “buns”…

Grab two small bowls and crack one egg into each.

Pierce the yolks with a fork.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining tablespoon of ghee. (Make sure you’ve got a tight-fitting lid for this skillet.)

When the ghee’s shimmering, place the two greased biscuit cutters in the pan…

…and pour an egg into each mold.

Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

Add ¼ cup water to the skillet (outside of the egg molds), making sure not to splash the eggs.

Turn down the heat to low…

…and cover the pan.

Cook the eggs, covered, for about 3 minutes or until cooked through.

Transfer the eggs to a paper-towel lined plate. One easy way to do this is to slide a spatula under the mold as you tilt it up while wearing a heat-resistant glove.

Assemble the faux-“McMuffin” by sandwiching the sausage patty in between the two egg rounds.

If you’re feeling old-school, you can eat the sammie as-is…

…or wake up your palate with a squiggle of sriracha.

But my favorite addition to this breakfast burger? A big dollop of homemade guacamole.

Once you’ve gussied up your “McMuffin,” pick it up and chow down!

Sorry, Dad—I ate this one. I’ll make you another.

Happy Father’s Day!

She’s seriously a goddess. Every time I watch one of her videos I’m tempted to head over to my high school’s track field and run sprints and stairs. Look at those legs. goddamn.

Who is she??
