empty salad

It has been a bit since I posted a recipe, but I feel this one deserves the Empty Nest label.

Our daughter has had a tiny, tiny eater. Hopefully, her appetite will develop. In the meantime, adults need to eat. The Rev. will testify to my dislike of bread ,and my love for the veg.
The last time I published a recipe, I was dealing with empty nest syndrome.
I have learned to cut the meals down to a portion of good size, and leftovers for lunches.
This is my bread free creation for the two of us. Cheeseburger Salad.

Recipe
I use the trusty Foreman grill and a bit of fresh onion. Grill to the temp and done temp you prefer. Sprinkle a bit of cheese and I guess the rest is visual and self explanatory. If not , you can e-mail me and I will personally walk you through the process. The whole point is it’s easy peasy and just for two. Hey grill some toasty buns while your at it.

  • One quarter head to half of whatever lettuce you prefer.
  • One peeled cucumber, or not. The Reverend hates them.
  • Three sliced Roma tomatoes.
  • One quarter bottle of Italian dressing
  • 2OZ. Mustard
  • and One half cup of Mayo

I just mix the wet stuff together and shake it up. I love to mix the greens up with Iceberg, leaf  and butter lettuce. The tomatoes are choices too. The whole point is it’s dinner for two. As all my creations go, I put some aside for a lunch or snack the next day.

Something Changed

The Earth Changed

What just happened ? The earth just changed. A giant ball of methane has hoovered above the four corners region of the U.S. for months, maybe years and is growing.  Our polar vortex collapsed over a period of a few years and is gone.  The jet stream that used to come around the top of the Rockies and dip down into the central U.S. now follows the coast line of the western U.S. keeping rain from reaching land and contributing heavily to a draught.

The largest forest fires in the U.S.’s history currently burn in California and Washington as did Canada and Alaska suffer wild land fires of gigantic proportions in the last thirty days.  We had tornadoes in Canada this season and France only a few days ago. The largest El Nino or record. Three back to back typhon’s north of the equator for the first time in recorded history.  The largest flood in the history of Japan. The largest earthquake recorded by man in Chile. An 8.4 magnitude quake that was still producing after shocks of 4.5 to 5.0 every hour or so two days later. The earth quakes in Oklahoma are becoming more frequent and stronger on an almost daily basis.  They are also spreading into Texas and Kansas.

An unprecedented amount of shark attacks off the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. and Australia.  A USGS survey found millions of sharks off the Eastern coast of the U.S..  The largest bird sanctuary in Florida emptied in a matter of days.  240,000 gazel died in a matter of days. 38,000 seals found dead on a island off the coast of the Western U.S.. Their pups began to show up on the shores from Washington state to California over the next several days. Millions of deep sea crabs washed ashore in Southern California.  Half the worlds ocean fish from 1970 levels are gone.  NOAA found a ocean bed covered in death 140 miles off the coast of San Diego just a few months ago.  Over 30 whales found dead on the coast of Alaska and Canada.  There has been over 200 elephant attacks, most with human fatalities, in the last ten days with the most recent 13 hours and 8 hours ago as of this post.

This all happened in the span of this summer, most of it in the last month, some in the last week.  Then this happened in Costa Rica on September 15th, 2015.

The goal of the Open Tree of Life project is to make phylogenetic knowledge more accessible. This site will allow you to explore previously published tree estimates and synthetic estimates of phylogenies that are created from many datasets. You can help make the system more comprehensive by uploading trees or linking trees in the system to the data on which they are based.
