QOTD- I am pasionate about the soul, the small of a women’s back, high fiber good wine, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent overrated crap. That Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. That there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing astroturf and the designated hitter. that opening your presents Chritmas morning rather than Christmas eve is good, and I am passionate about long, slow, deep, wet kisses that last for three days……………..and puppies

QOTD – What am I passionate about? – making and enjoying my home made pies with friends and family. My last two pies – a mock rhubarb with 2 kinds of apples, really fresh frozen raspberries and lots of lemon zest AND second pie – fig with apricot, pear, walnut and a little candied ginger. Seek out REAL pie – not the commercial junk – you won’t regret it. Better yet – try it yourself.

QOTD: Oh yeah, and I’m passionate about Israel. Talk to me if you want to say Israel is committing crimes against the Palestinians, because I’ll take you near the border on the Israeli side where they’re getting rockets fired at them every day and then getting the whole world going against them the second they try to defend themselves.

QOTD: The stock market (currently BBD if you want a more specific pick), watching Kansas Jayhawk basketball, and lately more than anything playing pick-up basketball. To me there’s no more enjoyable thing in this world (other than charitable stuff) than playing pick-up basketball.

QOTD: Most definately.. FOOD! Very few other things in this world have the power to reconnect us with each other, and the ground we walk on (save wine of course!). Which is probably why they go so good together.. forget all that flavor stuff, just take in the essence of it. There is so much that many people do not get to experience; such a diversity of ingredients.

There is a big shift going on in this country especially in terms of our food industry. You see it everywhere. The diversity of small artisan shops – cheesemakers, bread, charcuterie. Look at the Whole Foods phenom. Its changing; people are becoming more involved in what they put in their bodies. It is totally awesome and so needed. Its going back to the land too people! And dont forget about the fish either! Stop eating that darn ahi tuna! GO SUSTAINABLE. Wild caught Alaskan Salmon/Halibut, Kona Kampachi, Farmed Tilapia, Barramundi, Stripped Bass, Bay Scallops, Farmed Shellfish, Farmed Rainbow Trout – all beautiful things that wont strip our planet of its diversity in years to come. No more foreign caught shrimp, chilean seabass, orange roughy, red snapper, and most other imported fish.. whew.. /rantoff.

Great show today! Loved it.

QOTD: Have to say God, work & fly fishing. Fly fishing to get away from work, cell phones, e-mail and to be close to God in the peace and quit oh ya and to catch some rainbow trout.
