Sacred Chow: Ask for what you paid for.

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013/10/ask-for-what-you-paid-for.html

Ask for what you paid for. This is when I'll go out of my way to reassure the person that (1) they're being listened to attentively, (2) they're not crazy for thinking that they didn't get what they expected, and (3) we will do whatever we can to fix the issue. And now you have a happy customer, and a website that isn't broken. Posted by Dino Sarma-Weierman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ask for what you paid for. Vegan and Vegetarian Database.

Sacred Chow: NON-candified sweet potato

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013/11/non-candified-sweet-potato.html

You know what I find kind of gross? That so much food is so horribly over-sweetned to the point where you get cavities just from looking at the thing. Sweet potatoes (so named, because they're already SWEET) are a major culprit in this really awful trope. They're really sweet to begin with. They really don't need more sugar, unless you're making a pie (in which case, sugar away). 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes. 1 stick of cinnamon. 1/4 tsp (or less) fennel seeds, lightly crushed.

Sacred Chow: Stuck, but not trapped?

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013/07/stuck-but-not-trapped.html

Stuck, but not trapped? Whenever one of us (usually me) goes off to vacation, or some other trip, the other has to. Stay behind to hold down the fort. Why? My boss. "You are as much a part of this as I am, Dino! And rest without being nervous that everything back home is falling apart. I know it will. We're both intelligent, talented, and creative. We just need to work through it, and I know we'll get there. Posted by Dino Sarma-Weierman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Stuck, but not trapped?

Sacred Chow: Trying something different.

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013/07/trying-something-different.html

Until, that is, I get brought to something new and interesting. That's a completely different scenario. In those cases, I'll try that thing, and end up loving it. The only times that happens is when someone physically drags me to a place that I haven't been to. Posted by Dino Sarma-Weierman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Stuck, but not trapped? Is it just me? Clean space, clean mind. Dont follow blindly; follow mindfully. Dont expect things to turn out exactly. Reducing (not removing) fat.

Sacred Chow: Indian Pickle

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013/07/this-is-indian-pickle.html

This is an Indian pickle. It involves taking a fruit (mango, lime, lemon; in this case, lemon and green almonds), preserving it in salt, and then adding spices, oil, and dried red chiles. At a typical South Indian meal, you'll see a combination of raw vegetables (cucumber, tomato, onion, etc), stewed or steamed vegetables (with or without spices), rice, and Indian pickle.

Sacred Chow: See you later sounds less final than goodbye.

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013/09/see-you-later-sounds-less-final-than.html

See you later sounds less final than goodbye. When you spend five to eight hours of every day with the same person, you become friends. I took him to visit my family in Virginia, who immediately embraced him and his son with wide open arms. We ate, we laughed, we visited the air and space museum (don't judge; it was a mob of five children who needed to be entertained! We came back and relaxed before going out for Ethiopian. Which cost about $150 more. I'd be saving somewhere to the tune of half the t...

Sacred Chow: 3/1/13 - 4/1/13

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

You've got a friend in me. So to go to school, and be more or less ignored by everyone was difficult to cope with. I liked. Suffice it to say that I hated going to school when it involved group projects, or interacting with the other children, but loved going when it involved learning new things. I would take my textbooks home at the beginning of the semester, engrossed in all the new knowledge that they were just giving away for free. However, as someone for whom friends are a novelty, it was difficult ...

Sacred Chow: End of an Era

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013/11/end-of-era.html

End of an Era. There are some things that you can only do in New York, and I'm glad to have done them. There are others that make living in New York truly unique, and I have done them or plan to do them. Order fried plantains at a Chinese food place. Walk in a park that's sitting atop a major street, and hear the traffic and city noise drop away as you go deeper inside. Share a "Can you believe this thing that's happening" with a random stranger, and possibly even have a 30 second conversation about it.

Sacred Chow: 9/1/13 - 10/1/13

http://sacredchow.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

SPOILERS CONTAINED IN THIS POST. I couldn't sleep last night, and was in the mood for a movie with strong emotional impact. I've seen the film a few times before, so I knew that the right choice for last night's insomnia was Billy Elliot. If you have not seen it yet, you owe it to yourself to give it a look. In the USA, it's available on Netflix streaming as of the date of this post. To show the admissions counselor. My father came along to lend his support, and let the counselor know that both paren...
