Recent Happenings of (Some) Interest

On the home front: recently I made meatballs. No, they're not hard to make, but they do require quite a bit of time and effort. I followed the recipe in the Joy of Cooking, where I had to sautee some finely-chopped onion (that I first had to finely chop) and brown the post-mixed-and-formed balls of meat. They are very scrumptious, however, so I believe my effort was not in vain. Indeed, it has paid off quite well. Mmm mmm mmm! Meatballs!

On Sunday, to celebrate the day of rest and show my appreciation, I watched The Passion of the Christ. Wow. I can't seem to get used to it no matter how many times I watch it. I mean... wow. It really is somethin' else, what Christ went through for us and all. Somethin' else indeed. As a result, I've been reading my Bible more and reflecting on what I read instead of just reading it to get it read. However, I do still find joke pages like this to be extremely hilarious! HAHAHA!

On the work front: so I lent my hatchet to one of my coworkers so he can go kill a chicken. What?! Yeah, that's right. So he can go kill a chicken. Sound's kinda just a little bit weird, eh? Lemme 'splain: he's a vegetarian (kinda). His policy on eating meat is that he won't eat meat from an animal unless he feels he can kill and prepare the animal himself. So once he kills this chicken, he'll feel it morally acceptable to eat chicken thenceforth. Interesting theory, I reckon. He also wants to go fishing (or, in his words, "kill a fish"). Now, we just have to get him to kill a pig and a cow and we'll be in business!
