Poetica Spontenaium 11.30.06
Every breath of air between us
and a galaxy trembles for a moment
when you reach over
and trace constellations with your thumb
into my palm.
Such is the every day wonder
of you.
As oceans swell and quake
like rumpled sheets beneath our dreams
that quest for adventure, for treasure, for love.
I’m living layers of light and color
over my socks.

MJ’s Awesome Pumpkin Curry Soup Recipe
Lots of folks have asked for my Thanksgiving/Xmas Pumpkin Curry Soup recipe so I’m happy to share it with you all:
- 1 Can Pumpkin
- Equal parts Vegetable Broth & Water
- Golden Curry Mix (Spicy) (4 -5 “mini blocks”)
- Honey (1/4 -1/2 cup)
- Salt
- Nutmeg (1 tsp)
- Ground Clove (1 tsp)
- Cinnamon (1 tsp)
- Curry Powder (4 tsp)
- Cornstarch
- SourCream and Fresh Chopped Cilantro to Garnish
Again, I don’t really measure things and depending on how much you’re making and your personal tastes, you can always tweak this recipe to your liking.
These are my base ingredients.
First off, I put the vegetable broth & water in a big pot and bring it up to medium/high.
I then chop up the curry mix to make it super quick/easy to dissolve and toss into the water.
Add in the honey, and spices (except the salt) and the cornstarch (dissolved in cold water first, of course).
The baseline consistancy should be of a thin curry … like of a nice creamy tomato soup.
Bring to quick boil and skim off the foam. Bring down to a medium/medium low heat.
Then you crack open and toss in the Pumpkin. Not pie filling, just 100% pure pumpkin.
You go from a funky green/brown color to a beautiful mellow orange.
At this point, taste & tweak the seasoning to add salt, and if necessary, continue to thicken just a little bit. Sweet tooth? A touch more honey. Ideally, you hit a nirvana point of it being more curry spicy and pumpkin rich. The point of the soup by itself is that it *should* be very strong in curry taste. That’s why you don’t serve it by itself.
Right before you serve, you pull out your fresh cilantro and sour cream. Whip up the sour cream just a little bit. Chop roughly your cilantro.
Right before serving, sprinkle your fresh cilantro on the top and add a dollop of sour cream to the center. Serve while toasty warm.
Go Yum.
Jjapchae Foodporn
Here’s my recipe and instructions for making Jjapchae – korean noodles.
There are no measurements because, frankly, I don’t really use them and if you want measurements you can find them in other recipes online.
Ingredients:
- Cellophane Noodles
- Onions
- Garlic
- Spinach
- Eggs
- Carrots
- Shitake Mushrooms
- Soy Sauce
- Sugar
- Sesame Oil
- Mirin
- Garlic Powder
- Salt & Pepper
- Sesame Seets
First Steps: Making the Eggs! – Whip them up. Fry in a non stick pan. Salt & Pepper to Taste and cut into thin strips.
Next up: Spinach. Sautte lightly in salt, pepper, & olive oil.
Next up: Carrots. Use a mandolin to cut into as thin slices as possible. Sautte lightly in salt, pepper, & olive oil.
Next up: Mushrooms and Onions: Slice into thin strips. Sauttee together and season with soysauce pepper and little olive oil. I use soysauce instead of salt here as Mushrooms tend to superabsorb flavors and seasonings and I have more control with soy sauce than salt for even distribution of yum.
Yes that’s a lot of olive oil from the sounds of it. But it’s not really. And it’s a healthy oil. So shut the fuck up.
Next up the Noodles. Boil per the directions on the package an then rinse in cold water and drain well. Put the noodles into an everyday pan. I have this one.
Toss and season on medium low heat with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, sugar, pepper, and Mirin.
And then!
OOhhhh
Put it all together.
And toss!
When presenting the final product, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

A tragic day for all Wolverines

Subject: Coach Bo Schembechler
This is truly a sad day for the University of Michigan and all those whose lives have been enriched by the excellence in college football synonymous with the name Coach Bo Schembechler. We wanted to share with you the following message from President Mary Sue Coleman marking his passing.
Steve Grafton, President, Alumni Association and Jerry May, Vice President for Development
A part of the University of Michigan died today with the untimely passing of Bo Schembechler.
Few people exceed their reputations. Bo was the exception. He was forever dedicated to Michigan  to our students, our alumni and our fans.
His contributions on the athletic field are legendary. Yet Bo’s impact at Michigan goes well beyond the hash marks of Michigan Stadium, and we should always remember the depth of his contributions to a university he loved.
Bo was a teacher and a mentor. He was a benefactor who believed in the promise of cancer research at Michigan. And as he showed us just this semester, he was a student eager to learn. He loved the life and vitality of a university, and he contributed mightily to the culture and traditions of the University of Michigan.
Bo believed learning and excellence went hand-in-hand. He helped to shape the lives of generations of U-M students, and that is a timeless tribute to the dedication he showed our university.
“Leadership” is part of the Michigan lexicon. Bo helped to make this so, both on and off the field.
Never again will we know the likes of Bo Schembechler. And while we are saddened and stunned by his death, we are also filled with the gratitude that comes with warm memories. As individuals and as a university community, we enjoyed the privilege of knowing Bo and benefiting from his irrepressible personality and loyalty. He made Michigan a better university.
Mary Sue Coleman

This is seriously stupid.
Budlight is sponsoring a User Generated Video contest associated w doing stunts.
Because … that’s just what we need to encourage.
Yes I know it’s v. tongue in cheek — -but i mean, come *on*, does the average bud light drinker (outside of the Mission District vein of Hipster alley) have that sense of irony?
But seriously… in interesting marketing news
Intel, IBM Use Chat-Enabled Banner Ads to Talk to Customers“As more consumers are going online, it makes marketing more difficult, but also more interesting, [so] as marketers we have to get smarter about how we reach them and how we interact with them,” said Sandra Lopez, Intel’s global business integrated marketing manager. “It’s a balance between giving them compelling content and [having them] not thinking it’s just a marketing ploy.”
History.
