Things That Make You Go Hmmmm

This Saturday my nieces are performing this weekend at Asian Fest (they are taking Tae Kwon Do and the class is doing a demo) and I was on the website when I happened to notice a link for math help. That's right, a link for math help on an Asian Festival website. . .
Does anyone else find this really funny?

The Power of Oregano

I just found out that oregano has more antioxidant punch than most fruits and veggies and even garlic. Antioxidants fight free radicals which are directly related to age related diseases. Antioxidants also help fight heart disease and stroke. One of the ways that I found to add more oregano into my diet is a simple one. The Vegetarian Times recommends adding fresh oregano to salad mix. I did that last night and it does add a nice flavor combined with spinach, fresh baby greens, and iceberg lettuce (what can I say? I love the crunch) or I found a yummy marinated bean salad that I can't wait to try too.

Dilled Potato Frittata

I made the dilled potato frittata last night and it was good, it just need a little something more. I think the next time I make it I will double the dill and add some feta cheese for a little bit more of a bit to it.
Ingredients:
1 lb russet potatoes (sliced)
3 TBS cider vinegar
3 TBS olive oil (divided)
2 TBS dried dill
4 clove garlic minced (divided)
1 TBS dijon mustard
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup chives (chopped)
1 small tomato diced
3 large eggs beaten\
3/4 cup plain yogurt (I used fat free)
2 Tbs Parmesan cheese

Directions
-Whisk vinegar, 2 TBS olive oil, 1 TBS dill, 3 tsp garlic, mustard, pepper, and salt
-boil potatoes in a large pot for about five minutes (or until tender)then toss in with the dill mixture
-Preheat oven to broil and saute tomato and chives for about 4 minutes in an ovenproof skillet then transfer to a bowl and fold in eggs
-Add dill and potato mixture to skillet (the same one you just sauteed all the other stuff in) and spread along the bottom. Cook covered over medium heat about 5 minutes until a crust forms on the bottom of the skillet.
-Pour egg mixture over the top and cook until eggs set (about four minutes)
-Top with the Parmesan cheese and cook in oven about 2-3 minutes.
-Cut in slices and serve with dill yogurt sauce

Dill yogurt sauce
mix 3/4 cup yogurt with remaining garlic and dill.

Bye Bye Urban Outfitters

Damn it! Now I can't shop at Urban Outfitters anymore. Not that I really did in the first place but you can find some cool shit on sale there. Why can't I shop there you may ask? It is because Richard Hayne (the owner and mega rich guy) donates money (and lots of it) to the likes of Rick Santorum. Basically he is presenting this cool, hip, left wing, anti-corporate mission and then handing all the money he is raking in right to W.
Crap!

Thanks Towleroad for the heads up.

Garden Time

I love spring because that means it is garden time and I finally have the space to go all out with my garden (and I am). I have my tomato seedlings started and I'm just waiting for the weather to warm up before putting them in the ground. I do also have a few window boxes of herbs planted. Does anyone have any idea what to do with pineapple sage? I was thinking maybe grill some peaches and do a dressing of balsamic vinegar and pineapple sage? I think it would also do well as a flavoring for cocktails.

WTF?!?

GET MORE AT ManBabies.com!

Again, I feel the need for an interrobang to fully illustrate the WTF-ness of this post. This site is the most disturbing (non-porn) site I've seen in awhile. It is like a train wreck that you just have to keep staring at it because you are so baffled, bewildered, and befuddled. Thanks to Knee Deep in the Mud for horrifying me with ManBabies
