Chicken-Apple-Fennel Breakfast Sausage
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2005
Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 8 breakfast sausages patties
User Rating: No Rating
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup grated Granny Smith apple
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
1/2 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1 3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Heat a saute pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Toast the fennel seeds until golden brown in color, about 1 minute. Add the onions and grated apple to the pan and saute until the onions are translucent and most of the moisture has evaporated, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sweat for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and place the onion mixture on a plate to cool. While the onion mixture is cooling, combine the chicken, pork, sage, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper and nutmeg in a medium-size mixing bowl. Once the onion mixture has cooled, fold it into the meat mixture until blended.
Form your meat mixture into 8 (3 1/2-ounce) patties. To cook the patties, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 4 patties and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from pan and serve warm. Repeat with the remaining tablespoons of oil and sausage patties, if desired. Alternately, uncooked sausage patties will keep, refrigerated, for 3 days or frozen and used within 3 months.
Here in the Houston area, if it gets below 30, they refer to it as bitter cold.

That was always the worstiest part of it for me. The Great Lakes area has winds that come screaming off the lakes in winter that will actually freeze the eyeballs out of your head, and make your teeth ache. Don't miss it a bit.

Tequila isn't nearly as jealous a partner as other forms of alcohol, in my experience. It has a bad rep probably from folks who drank it like water once, and swore it off forever.

Seriously, my 12-year-old can explain herself better than this:
Bush, talking yesterday:
I knew we're at war when they attacked us. As a matter of fact, I was down here in Florida. It didn't take long to figure out what was going on. And I vowed that day that I would not rest, so long as I was the President, in protecting the people. So a lot of my decision-making is based upon the attack.
And I know we're at war, see -- I knew it then, and the enemy has, unfortunately, proved me right because they continue to attack. In order to win the war against the enemy you got to understand the nature of the enemy.
And we've got a coalition of countries. I spent a lot of time reminding people about the nature of the war. Listen, the tendency for folks is to say, well, this really isn't a war.
I have had the feeling over the years that we have been trained by the near hysterical weather reporters to respond to even minor changes in the weather as if catastrophe was inevitable.
In Alaska I walked to school in -20 and -30 temps.
In Detroit temps in the teens and minus zero zones was not uncommon.
Snow was typical, sometimes heavy in Michigan.
In Texas, 100+ degree weather? Drought? Who would have thought it could happen here. Sames goes for Nevada and New Mexico.
Yet the news channel folks make it sound new, freaky and insurmountable.

When I lived in Abq-q, one winter we were seriously infested with moths. It was something I hadn't prepared against, and they were EVERYWHERE!. Frustrating. So, one afternoon, in the laundry room, I opened the box of mothballs and started aiming them at every moth I could see. Bang! Thump! No, of course I didnt' intersect. But, Chuy, I sure tried.
Have I resigned from the Borg? Not quite yet. But I'm about a quarter of an inch away from it, mildly pickled, and flory could tell you just exactly how angry I was yesterday about it. Goodness, Arthur ran to the corner of the yard where there is potential Boston Terrier incursion rather than be nearby.... I'm still not sure. But let me say that when a major American corporation decides that you are not in fact an actual employee but that most dreadful of things, a contractor - well, the answer is screw you.
Fortunately, I have the e-mail addresses and lunch appointments of all the supervisors.

"All earlier systems of physics...fell into the error of identifying appearance with reality; they confined their attention to the walls of the cave, without even being conscious of a deeper reality beyond. The new quantum theory has shown that we must probe the deeper substratum of reality before we can understand the world of appearance."

He's talking about the fact that Americans are too fat and need better nutrition.
He also hates Bushboy for blocking stem cell research, especially since his daughter has diabetes. He also says that Laura Bushboy talks "out of her ass" about this subject.
Sam Brownback, Sen. from Kansas thinks there should be no rearch on stem cells and anyone who works in this area should be charged with a crime and if convicted fined up to $1,000,000!!!

WHEREAS: Dadaism is an international tendency in art that seeks to change conventional attitudes and practices in aesthetics, society, and morality; and
WHEREAS: Dadaism may or may not have come into being in the summer of 1916 at the Cabaret Voltaire at 1 Spiegelgasse in Zürich, Switzerland, with the participation of Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, Emmy Hennings, Marcel and Georges Janco, Jean Arp, and Richard Heulsenbeck; and
WHEREAS: The central message of Dada is the realization that reason and anti-reason, sense and nonsense, design and chance, consciousness and unconsciousness, belong together as necessary parts of a whole; and
WHEREAS: Dada is a virgin microbe which penetrates with the insistence of air into all those spaces that reason has failed to fill with words and conventions; and
WHEREAS: zimzim urallala zimzim urallala zimzim zanzibar zimzalla zam;
WHEREAS: I, Dennis “Boog” Highberger, Mayor of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, do hereby proclaim the days of February 4, April 1, March 28, July 15, August 2, August 7, August 16, August 26, September 18, September 22, October 1, October 17, and October 26, 2006 as

We were just out for our Saturday night dinner and "Speed of Sound" played on the jukebox.
My daughter rolled her eyes and said "Here we go!"

"February 18, 2006
Prosecutor Says Libby Seeks to Thwart Criminal Case
By NEIL A. LEWIS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 — A federal prosecutor has said I. Lewis Libby Jr., former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, is trying to sabotage the criminal case against him by insisting through his lawyers that he be given sensitive government documents for his defense.
In a court filing on Thursday night, the prosecutor said requests by Mr. Libby's lawyers for documents, including the daily intelligence briefs given to the president for nearly a year, were "a transparent effort at 'graymail.' "
The prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, said the requests for a large amount of sensitive information beyond what they had been given was unjustified. Mr. Fitzgerald told the federal judge hearing the case that defendants like Mr. Libby had an incentive to derail their trials by asking for sensitive documents that the government might not want discussed openly.
Graymail is the practice of discouraging a prosecution from proceeding by contending that a defendant may need to disclose classified or sensitive information as part of a full defense. Such an approach can force the government to choose between dropping the prosecution or allowing the information to be disclosed at a trial.
Before 1980, some officials escaped prosecution by threatening to disclose unspecified secrets in open court. Congress enacted the Classified Information Procedures Act in 1980 to ensure that the government was not surprised by any disclosures at trial.
If the defense intends to use classified information, it has to inform the government, and then the two sides argue before a judge in secret on whether the information is needed for full defense. If a judge decides that the defendant is entitled to the information, the government has to decide whether to accept the likelihood that the information may be disclosed in a trial or drop the prosecution.
John D. Cline, a lawyer in San Francisco and an authority on the classified-procedures law who is representing Mr. Libby, challenged the accusation that the defense was engaging in graymail. Mr. Cline said the 1980 law made graymail impossible because the government knew exactly what information the defense was seeking, and a judge must rule on whether it is necessary to the defense case.
"We are working lawfully and properly through the C.I.P.A. procedures to obtain documents essential to Mr. Libby's defense," he said. "All we want is a limited number of key documents that Mr. Libby either wrote or reviewed during the most critical period in this case.""
NYT
Nice to hear Chad and Jeremy are still around, and perhaps have grown with time. 'Yesterday's Gone' and 'Summer Song' were close to perfect small-scale songs; I challenge anyone around at the time not to have memories cued thereby. Sometimes a bunt single is as memorable in its way as a grand slam...
Harper's is the best American magazine, not just for the politics; it's also got the best art.

It seems like Phil Lynott got steamrolled by the whole thing, like so many others. I was also thinking about somewhat forgotten musicians today. It was shocking to me how Julian Lennon stepped in so, almost robotically,as a clone of his old man, right after his murder. Especially since John basically ignored his ass throughout his life.
Julian's looks and his music were really kind of eerie, in their approximation of the original. Almost like an unexpected Xerox. His 1984 Valotte album was doubtless mistaken, at first hearing, for the work of his dad. The voice pitch, quality, and even the phrasing were spont on.

It's an old trick, beloved. Take the top level guy, diminish his contribution, steal his work and then explain that he can't cut it. It's pretty much the same gig with me. I've got a gang of clowns now on my neck 'cause I accepted, as a favour, 'editing' something and have then resisted 'writing' it. It's a scam. With me, they've taken a step and a half too far. I've got a track record as long as your arm and a half, demonstrating my competence and to boot, I've already registered my anger with my second level supervisor. Now, my immediate supervisor had hit the wall, docking my pay. I even have a lunch date with the =third= level supervisor on Monday....
The point tho is that you must have competitors. You are GOOD. Go sideways. There's not 'loyalty' when there's no loyalty to you. This isn't Malden Mills for either of us. You are brave and strong and you have a damned good skill. Take them out!

Showing off their silver leaves
As we walk by.
Soft kisses on a summer's day,
Laughing all our cares away,
Just you and I.
Sweet, sleepy warmth of summer nights,
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky.
They say that all good things must end some day;
Autumn leaves must fall.
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you?
Wish you didn't have to go,
No, no, no, no.
And when the rain beats against my window pane,
I'll think of summer days again,
And dream of you,
And dream of you.

I don't read the Nation as much as I used to because there is so much good stuff on the blogs & there is only so much time -- I saw Katrina Vanden Heuvel on some talk show when I was visiting friends with cable & was very impressed (but not so much when I heard she wanted to get Christopher Hitchens to return to The Nation-- WHY?!)

Eli, are we ready for Rottweiler?
Am now. I just got home.
I thought it was a Sci-Fi original, but now that I see "LGF" and "Brian Yuzna" (woohoo!) I'm not so sure.
I loved you all the summer through.
I thought I'd found my dream in you,
But now it's over and done,
'Cause that was yesterday
And yesterday's gone.
We walked together hand in hand
'Cross miles and miles of golden sand.
For me you were the one,
But that was yesterday,
And yesterday's gone.
We had such happiness together;
I can't believe it's gone for ever and ever.
Wait till summer somes again,
I hope that you'll remember when
Our love had just begun.
I loved you yesterday,
But yesterday's gone.

White meat tastes better!!
Andrew Johnson was the first president impeached and he deserved it. Nixon avoided impeachment by resigning.
Clinton's impeachment was a vindictive farce by the vicious Goopers.
But of all the POTUSs we ever had, Bushboy is the greatest menace and the the most deserving of summary removal from the WH!
Rudy
Unlike Nixon, who cut and ran, Bill faced the music.
I hit wingers with that and they never have an answer.
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, has launched a passionate attack on President George Bush, saying his administration's refusal to close the notorious Guantanamo Bay camp reflected "a society that is heading towards George Orwell's Animal Farm".
Arkenor

I never thought I'd see the day when "America" and "torture" were used in the same sentence.

GWPDA may have gone to bed, but her garden sounds edenic. Whenever people make me fear and cringe, I try to remember that this earth, without the help of particular self-appointed gods, has produced sensuous fruits such as to astonish

Harper's also has an electrifying, positively solid steel smashing of the case for torture. It really is incredible.
kei & yuri
On Democracy Now yesterday, some history prof named McCoy seemed to be making the case--unintentionally, I assume--that the CIA methods, sensory deprivation and self-inflicted pain actually work. I thought that was kind of strange, since he was adamantly anti-torture (well, he's a career anti-CIA type), and saying it works would seem to play right into the gov't's hands.
I don't think toxic waste would be good for his gum condition.
Maybe it's like what happened in 'Sleeper.' They discovered that toxic waste is essential for periodontic health.
Beyond even the question of electability, do the Democrats have *anyone* who can actually FIX this mess?
Is there anyone anywhere that can fix this mess?
I hope this is a flashback, or this movie has some serious continuity problems.
And who the fuck *is* this guy, anyway?
The idea of capturing ancient sounds in old pottery was actually expressed 10-20 years ago or so in a regular column in the New Scientist--I don't recall its name (maybe The Inventions of Daedalus, or something similar) but it was wildly and amusingly speculative, and always based on sound science...help me out, out there

Sweet soft summer nights
Dancing shadows in the distant lights
You came for me to follow
And we kissed on distant shores
Long quiet hours of play
Sounds of tomorrow from yesterday
Love came for me to follow
And we kissed on distant shores
The careful glance of children playing
Raindrops fall as if they're saying
Quiet thoughts of you caressed by time
The breeze of summer's gone
Whispered memories as nights grow long
You came for me to follow
And we kissed on distant shores
Yeah, they stand the test of time
"Do you think the evil cannot touch you? Fool!"
And who the fuck *is* this guy, anyway?
He seems to have a destiny, whoever he is.
In all the kids' defense, though, none of them could really win, being spawned from rock royalty.

well i'd certainly take your word for it over my own impression. sean put out some video a few years back (he was under 20) and it sucked.

This reminds me of the Promise Keepers. They use the argument that husbands must be willing to die for their wives, and given this humongous sacrifice (for what is going to kill the husbands? the giant lovesick squirrel?), the wives should submit and opey and clean all their lives long.
So what the hell is this thing about besides cute and bloodthirsty puppies?

okay, can someone sic the gangsta rottweiler on Britney Spears please?
Britney Spears has a simple explanation for driving around with her baby on her lap: She doesn't want to become the next Princess Diana.
As she attempts to rehab her image after getting caught on film behind the wheel while holding an otherwise unrestrained Sean Preston--and in the process becoming an unwitting poster girl for how not to transport an infant--the pop tart plays the paparazzi card in a new People magazine interview.
"I don't really go out with him," Spears, 24, says in the issue, on newsstands Friday. "And it's kind of sad because I can't walk down the street with a stroller. I'm not expecting people to pity me. I'm just telling the truth."
She continues: "I've pulled over and asked the cops, 'Could you please help me? They've been driving recklessly back there.' And they say, 'Sorry, ma'am, I can't help you. This is how it is.' "
"I mean, Princess Diana got killed by one of these people. They're crossing the line."

Britney Spears has a simple explanation for driving around with her baby on her lap: She doesn't want to become the next Princess Diana.

watertiger--I was once at a fancy french restaurant on the upper west side, around 84th street. Any idea what it was?
Really? I used to live on 82nd & West End Ave.
Don't remember any French restaurants, but it's been over 15 years...
ProfWombat--brioche is well, but the mama is suffering from a sinus infection, which she's being treated for.

"What do you think of me as

"I think it's your best bet!"
[One of the funniest movies ever.

Or, alternatively, if my mom hadn't sold her FUCKING ENORMOUS APARTMENT on the upper West Side.
But then I might still be living with my mother, and that's no good either...
Well, we coulda kicked her out and then we could have been roomies.
Eli--it was right around there, and probably about 15 years ago. It was just in with all the Brownstones and no sign that I could see. Menu in French. A cool evening (being wined & dined by a client when I worked in a gallery there)

Two great jokes about that wretched
song.
Randy Newman famously observed that
"it sounds like it was written by
two kids who thought they had
taken acid."
And Denis Leary said:
"You're in the desert. You have
nothing to do.
Name the fricking horse."
Prof, I had no idea you were ill. Best to you. You'll do just fine.
Peace!
hey woody's: my wife, alas (early breast cancer), not I, though after 35 years together there ain't as much difference as might seem. Thankfully, an excellent prognosis, though the process sucks; at least she's got great docs. Anyhow, I appreciate the pint or two finding its home...
Hmmm... time for a pint of pale ale and read some more of a Feast For Crows methinks...

Nothing that makes any sense.

most guys go to Europe first, but they really only care about New York. sorry, my failed fantasy. i'm over it.
Great.

Indeed. How was NOLA, good scout? Been too busy to hit the first draft this week. Congrats, too.
Certainly the popularity of that song depended on kids raised on cowboy opera and wishing they were stoned.

4LG,
Plush Kitty has two new fans - my mother and my sister.
They were over earlier, and I showed them his pic. Much "ooohing" and "aaahhhing".
He is a beauty.
West of Broadway, maybe even west of West End--I remember we walked along the edge of Riverside Park after supper, then he walked me to the 86th Street (? it's been a while, I forget the street stops) subway.
Scout--how are you, dear?
...And his (original) version of "Once Bitten Twice Shy"...
Speaking of originals, I always loved Hunter's original version of "England Rocks" (before it became "Cleveland Rocks") - produced by Roy Thomas Baker on an elpee never released in the states.
Much, much superior.
Eli--'Disaster Zone.' Now there's must-see TV!
ProfWombat,
Positive karma and thoughts of peace and happiness your way.
Best schedule site I've found: TitanTV.

You can get a good perspective on Lennon's early attitude towards the establishment just by listening to his mid-1963 snarly, phlegmatic cover of the Janie Bradford/Berry Gordy tune "Money".
Thing is, Lennon lived like a king of kings for almost all of his adult life.

ever did. Rocks like crazy.

into it, however.
Granted, Lennon got the irony that
Barrett Strong (who sang the
original) didn't.

BTW, looks like Ian Hunter has his own website with a rather amusing section featuring his snappy answers to stupid questions called The Horse's Mouth.
we're looking for a boners or superdickery type of humor site, especially for truly found humor (we never like the posed pictures at boners, they're stupid).
we come across getfunnyjokes.com, which is unique in pushing "clean" jokes. most of these sites offer porn directly or have somewhat dirty pictures scattered in with the mix. nice to know there's one that's clean --
hello, what's this clean thing in the sidebar? "asian." this could potentially be very unclean indeed. in fact asian jokes seems to be for asians ("115 ways to know you're from the phillipines"), although it does include non-nude girl galleries (under the assertion that asians are best looking, and we don't see any other similar groups).

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is the text of President Bush's radio address to the nation today:
This morning, I want to speak to you about one part of this initiative: our plans to expand the use of safe and clean nuclear power. Nuclear power generates large amounts of low-cost electricity without emitting air pollution or greenhouse gases. Yet nuclear power now produces only about 20 percent of America's electricity. It has the potential to play an even greater role. For example, over the past three decades, France has built 58 nuclear power plants and now gets more than 78 percent of its electricity from nuclear power. Yet here in America, we have not ordered a new nuclear power plant since the 1970s. So last summer I signed energy legislation that offered incentives to encourage the building of new nuclear plants in America. Our goal is to start the construction of new nuclear power plants by the end of this decade
