Crispy Tofu Sandwich

31Oct08

I just made a delicious sandwich and I would like to share the recipe with my chef friends:

Note: I put some bacony tofu strips on mine, but I don’t think they added much so I’m not including them in the recipe.

1 lb tofu
Sriracha sauce (found at asian markets)

Campbell Brown on the Daily Show

30Oct08

I guess we’re doubling up on the interviews today.  I really need to start watching Campbell Brown’s show.  I’ve only seen her a few times, notably her Tucker Bounds interview and her Free Palin piece. I’ve been nothing but impressed by her.  There’s been a lot of talk from liberals about how great NBC’s Rachel [...]

Michelle Obama is so freaking cool

30Oct08

You can watch the second half over at Feministing.  I’m trying to figure out if I’m going to go to Nevada on Friday to volunteer for the Obama campaign.
As enthusiastic as I am about Obama, it’d be more for my own benefit than anything else.  It just seems like an incredible moment in history.  I [...]

Fast editing of remote files in GNOME

25Oct08

Warning: geeky entry ahead.

So, I’ve been doing a lot of work on my Linux (Ubuntu) system where I am editing files that are on a remote server, and I’m accessing them over SSH.  At first, I was using gnome-vfs [...]

Boycott Southwest

24Oct08

In the nineties, Southwest Airlines ran a campaign to stop a major high speed rail project in Texas.  I support increased rail service and I think Southwest’s tactics are bad for America, and I will no longer be flying with them.

Getting what we deserve

18Oct08

We all do things we “shouldn’t” do.  These things fall into two categories: things which are self-destructive, and things that outside forces have convinced us we shouldn’t do, but are actually healthy.
When I am riding my bike home at night, I often feel a compulsion to go eat a burrito.  In San Diego, at any [...]

Tahini Lemon Soy Dressing

17Oct08

I’ve been making this dressing for ages now.  I’ve had it every day this week, it’s to die for and dead simple to make.  It was originally inspired by Annie’s tasty “Goddess” dressing.

Tahini Lemon Soy Dressing
Makes enough for a BIG salad

3 T tahini
3 T soy sauce
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 T water (or more or less, [...]

Criminal Justice System Unfair to Black Youth

15Oct08

For anyone who thinks racism isn’t a problem for them, or think that the only people responsible are the outright bigots, check this out:
The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint reports on a study recently released by the DC-based Campaign for Youth Justice:
The report showed that white youth are significantly more likely than African American youth [...]
