I support the separation of church and hate!

IMAGINATION - the freest and largest nation in the world!


One can not profess to be of "GOD" and show intolerence and prejudice towards the beliefs of others.

Am fear nach gleidh na h–airm san t–sith, cha bhi iad aige ’n am a’ chogaidh.
He that keeps not his arms in time of peace will have none in time of war.

Religion has spoiled many a good man.

Religion is for those who are afraid of going to Hell. Spirituality is for those who have already been there.

I love lamb, but my family does not, so I came up with this recipe:

Recipe Name: GYROS-STYLE PORK SANDWICH
Category: PORK
Serves: 4

1 pound boneless pork loin
4 tables olive oil
1 tables Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 teaspo oregano
1 cup plain low fat yogurt
1 cucumb peeled seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspo garlic pepper
1/2 teaspo dill
2 pita loaves halved
1/2 small red onion thinly sliced

Cut pork crosswise into think slices; then into strips 5x1/2-inch. Place in self-sealing bag. Combine olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, garlic and oregano; pour over pork. Cover and refrigerate 1-8 hours.
Meanwhile, in small bowl stir together yogurt, cucumber, pepper and dill. Cover and refrigerate.
Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Drain marinade from pork, discarding marinade. Place pork in single layer in shallow pan. Roast until crisp, about 10 minutes. Open each pita half to form a pocket. Distribute pork among each half. Top each sandwich with some yogurt dressing and onions.

Serves 4

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

I have not tried these yet but they sound good!

Recipe Name: GREEK MEATBALLS WITH EGG AND LEMON SAUCE
Category: MAIN DISH
Serves: 4

1 1/2 Pound ground lamb or beef
1 Medium onion, grated or minced
1 Cloves garlic, minced
1/3 Cup uncooked rice
2 tbsp minced parsley
1 tsp dried basil or mint
1 tsp dried oregano
3 each eggs
2 each tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 Cup lemon juice, or to taste

Put meat into a bowl with onion, garlic, uncooked rice, herbs, salt pepper. Beat two of the egg whites until they froth and add them as well. Reserve yolks and the other egg for the sauce. Gently mix with a fork or your hands, and form walnut-size balls. Fry meatballs in vegetable oil over low heat. When lightly brown, remove with a slotted spoon to a saucepan. Add enough stock to cover meatballs, and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Pour off stock through a sieve, and measure it. You will need 1 1/2 cups for the sauce. To make the sauce, beat reserved egg yolks and the whole egg togeth until quite frothy. Whisk in lemon juice bit by bit, then whisk in hot stock bit by bit, beating steadily. Pour over meatballs, and cook, stirring, oven on low heat until sauce thickens. Do not let it come to a boil, or it will separate. Serve on a bed of rice, sprinkled with parsley. Makes four servings.
