Best Tuna Casserole

In all honesty, this is a recipe for tuna and noodles not tuna casserole but it tastes so good that it needs a fancier name. Try it and see for yourself!

  • Boil water and add a half pound of extra wide egg noodles.
  • Next, scatter a couple teaspoons of sesame seeds across the bottom of a cast iron skillet and put it on medium heat.
  • When the seeds are toasted add half a yellow onion finely chopped and about two tablespoons olive oil.
  • Add chopped garlic, green pepper, brocolli florets and thin sliced peeled brocolli stem.
  • Saute until the onions are clear.
  • Add a heaping teaspoon of chili garlic paste.
  • Stir.
  • Add one can tuna in water, liquid and all.
  • Add the juice from one can of black olives along with about half of the olives.
  • Add one can of cream of mushroom soup.
  • Stir.
  • Drain the noodles and add to the skillet.
  • Add chopped fresh cilantro.
  • Stir and serve.

Serves four. We like to eat this with buttered bread.

Metta Sutta

http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/buddhist-practice/metta-sutta.html

From the page: Metta Sutta
This is what should be done by one who is skilled in goodness
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright, straightforward and gentle in speech,
Humble and not conceited, contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skilful,
not proud and demanding in nature.

Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove.
They should wish:

In gladness and in safety
May all beings be at ease.
Whatever living beings there may be,
Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,
The seen and the unseen,
Those living near and far away,
Those born and to-be-born,
May all beings be at ease!

Let none deceive another, or despise any being in any state,
Let none through anger or ill-will wish harm upon another.

Even as a mother protects with her life her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart should one cherish all living beings,
Radiating kindness over the entire world,
Spreading upwards to the skies, and downwards to the depths,
Outwards and unbounded, freed from hatred and ill-will.

Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down,
Free from drowsiness, one should sustain this recollection.

Lycoris squamigera – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoris_squamigera

My new house has a bunch of naked ladies in the front yard.

“It is a herbaceous plant with basal, simple leaves, which are not present when the flowers emerge from the crown. The leaves sprout and grow in the spring, then die back during June. Then in late July or early August the flowers appear. The flowers are white or pink and fragrant. The flowers spring dramatically from the ground in mid to late summer; it usually takes only four to five days from first emergence to full bloom. This suddenness is reflected in its common names: surprise lily, magic lily, and resurrection lily. It is also sometimes referred to as naked ladies.”

THE OUTLAW (1943)

From the movie: Billie the Kid says to Rio (Jane Russell). “You gonna keep your eyes open? You gonna look right at me while I do it?” Found this movie on a list of the fifty most controversial movies.
