This morning I decided to do something with the rhubarb that I had still hanging out in my refrigerator, I was feeling guilty that my friend Bonnie had taken the time to hand-deliver it to me in addition to the handwritten recipe and I still hadn’t even touched it. I have to admit that I have been a tad busy, but still the rhubarb chutney wasn’t going to make itself.

Making the chutney itself was so easy, just follow the recipe and you are done in a half an hour. The involved part was the canning process; I had never canned before, so I did what any savvy cook does, when in doubt go to the Joy of Cooking. I love that book. Sterilization isn’t hard, just a little time consuming, and after forty minutes you’re done.

I don’t know how the rhubarb chutney turned out, according to the recipe you need to store it away for a year. So I have it labeled and hopefully next year I will remember it and serve it with a nice piece of sautéed foie gras.

21st century, belonging, century, postaday2013

Do you belong in this day and age? Do you feel comfortable being a citizen of the 21st-century? If you do, explain why — and if you don’t, when in human history would you rather be?

I’m happy to be in any century as long as I am upright and relatively healthy. I love to being a productive member of the 21st century but I do feel just a tad let down in the technology department. I remember watching the Jetsons and seeing what the creators vision of the future was and ours falls short. I also remember seeing the future of the world exposition at amusement parks and they promised great things which hasn’t materialized as of yet. I am talking about Rosie the robot housekeeper or the flying cars or the renewable energies even Star Trek promised us more.

As I said above I would be happy anywhere as long as there was indoor plumbing for the restroom and the bathing room. I would not be very satisfied with any permanent living situation that involved outhouses and no running water. That’s just my requirements for happiness in a comfort related way.
