Leftover Meat Mondays: Pasta with Sausage and Baby Broccoli
Mr. MVP and I talked about being part of the "Meatless Monday" movement. We didn't have to be convinced that going meatless at least one day a week can be good--for the environment, for your health, for your wallet. So we enjoyed a few consecutive meatless Mondays. But then we had extra chicken from a Sunday barbecue and wanted to make tacos with the leftovers on Monday. And then we had some remaining steak from another Sunday dinner and decided to make bolognese sauce the next day with the leftovers. We grill a lot on the weekends and don't like to let leftovers go to waste, so now we're going to try for Meatless Tuesdays or Wednesdays and we're going to make sure we compose leftover meals that don't feel like leftover meals--making them good enough to be prepared and enjoyed any day, even if you aren't trying to use what you don't want to waste.
Yesterday:
Italian sausage on the grill, part of a mixed grill and pizza dinner
Leftovers:
Sausage
Today:
Pasta with baby broccoli and sausage. While pasta of your choice is cooking, cut the leftover sausage into bite-size pieces. In a saucepan, saute several cloves of garlic in olive oil until garlic is soft but not browned. Add 1/2 cup vegetable stock and baby broccoli and cover until broccoli is tender but still firm. Remove broccoli and add sausage bites to the saucepan with a splash of some more vegetable stock and cook on medium until heated. Toss pasta with sausage, broccoli, and parmesan cheese. Enjoy.

MOTIF BATIK KENDAL
BATIK TELAH DI AKUI DUNIA SEBAGAI HASIL KARYA BANGSA INDONESIA
UNESCO pada tgl 2 0ktober 2010 telah mematok palu mengakui bangsa Indonesia dengan hasil karya batiknya sebagai Made In (buatan) Indonesia tulen, dan tak terbantahkan. Setahun sudah pengakuan itu dapat dipertahankan sebagai hasil karya paten nenek moyang bangsa Indonesia. Zaman sekarang juragan-juragan batik tidak membatik lagi, batik dikerjakan oleh orang-orang kecil yang membutuhkan kerja untuk memenuhi kebutuhan kesehariannya. Juragan batik hanya memberikan upah pada para pekerjanya. Hal ini memang telah mengalami pergeseran dalam perkembangan batik dari satu era ke era lainnya. Semoga eksistensi batik Indonesia dapat dipertahankan, terutama untuk batik tulis yang telah diakui keberadaannya di mata dunia dalam hal ini pengakuan dari UNESCO.

Batik Canting di Weleri Kendal
Sebagian daerah Kendal, seperti di Weleri kerajinan batik juga berkembang. Orang Weleri dapat juga membuat batik dengan hasil yang cukup baik dan halus. Hal ini membutuhkan pengarahan terhadap para pengrajin supaya dapat menghasilkan karya yang baik. Mereka di sediakan alat-alat untuk membatik di rumahnya sendiri oleh para juragan Batik.
Para pengrajin dapat mengerjakan batik sambil momong anak di rumah masing-masing. Mereka bisa berkarya dengan perasaan senang demi untuk membantu mencari nafkah suaminya.
Memory Lane: Coach's Lessons Part 2
I love finding inspiration in unlikely places, like on the side of a cookie box. I posted last week about a Teddy Roosevelt quote I learned from my high school track coach. The quote is printed on a box of Bart's cookies I found at Whole Foods. I bought the cookies because of the claim on the front of the box that they're "The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World." Them's fighting words--and then I spotted the real fighting words on the side. Good cookies, but I still believe homemade ones are best.

October Update: The Streets, Stinky's, TA, Griffintown, and more
Stinky's has also been pretty quiet in the last while. Ever since the courtyard was closed up with metal sheeting it's slowly gone silent. There are still pieces, rollers, and tags that go up, but they are far and in between. if you look hard enough though you can find yourself some old gems going back a few years. It's a shame that I didn't get into this spot until around 2005 as I am sure that, like many other places I frequent, that there was a wealth of history and graff before then. I stopped off once or twice to catch some updates and to grab some general pan shots. Even though this spot is a lot quieter than it used to be I still enjoy rolling through the tall grass and scrap pieces lying about and checking what's been going on.
The final spot that I checked out was CN Wellington and the old swing bridge along the water. I'd seen this spot for a while but it was never really accessible to me before recent as the doorway is normally sealed and bolted. Someone had taken the time to open it up so this time around I got in and got some shots. It was a nice end to a month of great flic missions. I'd end up coming back here in November and December with an external flash -I'll post those pics soon enough.
November pics and write ups will be up as soon as I can get to them. Till then, stay posted.
