"Hey Baby What's your sign?"

All righty then... I am Libra. Or am I? This is one of those subjects that seems to depend on the author. I have slipped between "What a load of rubbish." to "Holly sh… cow that's me." The link above is fairly accurate. Yes I am attractive and graceful and charming (my husband is very wisely nodding his head) he he he. I am also flirtatious, self-indulgent, and impatient of routine. I don’t like being boxed in by labels or self limiting behavior so I strongly dislike the idea of others or myself making assumptions based on silly things like my hair, how I speak, or the time I was born. There fore I have avoided any deep study or considerations in this regard.

I have never been trustful of those daily horoscopes one reads in syndications. They remind me of biblical interpretations. One person will read the same thing as another, both can have completely different interpretations of what they saw. The impersonal one size fits all can't be right, even for the majority it's just not logically possible. I also don't believe in predicting the future. People are too changeable to lump large groups of the population too closely together. (I heard one recent prediction that this would be a big year for hurricanes and low and behold they won the Stanley cup)

So lacking any real tangible value in my life for astrology I have left any sort of astrologic thought on the back burner. Still the skeptic and disliker of dogmatic practices (organized religion) I have been drawn to this time and time again. Most recently by an intriguing sort of woman I had a long chat with about relationships, children in particular, and how astrology can be helpful in the interpersonal relationships. I’m not immersed in any other absorbing topics at the moment so I might just explore this idea of the celestial influences on my life personally. Maybe it will explain a few things or help us feed the souls of those we love. I am never sure how far is too far to go with friends and showing affection and I’m not the bubbly sort to jump and shout and get very excited about too much. I used to be much freer in with hugs and kisses and such I wonder where that went? Is reserved a Libra trait? Or am I just getting old?

I wll be interested to see if I make up my mind on the subject.

Wacky Things From My Kitchen

Curried Fish (Soup)

6-9 medium potatoes pealed and cubed about 1.5 cm or ¾ inch
200-300 grams primo taglio pastrami sandwich meat chopped up a bit
6 smallish pieces of fish we had polok loins

3-6 Tablespoons of your favorite curry
Fresh cilantro leaves about a hand full ripped up include stems
garlic to taste
Onions
2 Tablespoons Asian Sesame salad dressing
2 Tablespoons olive oil

Optional:
1 Cup Milk
I bouillon cube
1 Tablespoon of flour
Veggies

Cook potatoes and onions in a skillet with oil till mostly done, add pastrami, half the curry, half the cilantro, some onion and garlic, and a bit of salt if you like. When done put aside.

Cook fish in same skillet add the rest of the spices, salad dressing, and herbs.

Half of this I turned into soup the other half went on plates. For soup add a cup of milk with a spoon full of flour mixed up then water as needed to keep soupy. I also added an all veggie bouillon cube.

Much better as a soup but the boys wanted it dry. If you add veggies cook the long cooking things like carrots with the potatoes. If they are quick cooking like peas or asparagus put it either in for the last of the potatoes cooking in the pan or pop it on top of potatoes with a lid and let them steam.

I'm thinking a Corona with lemon or a dry white -Painted Turtle chardonnay-wine would work well in accompaniment. Or for the youger set milk -assuming your curry is a little spicy.

First Post

My previous blog had so few posts over the last three years and no comments so I've dumped it. Hopefully a fresh look and a better understanding will improve my blogability and my blog ability. I really need an outlet that does not effect those innocent bystanders I call my friends and family. I also hope to post more thoughtfully and not just rants when I'm feeling agitated about something. A fresh start so to speak. I have to run and pick up my Spare -the kid I watch after school- so I don't have time for more now.
