Sandwich Day
In the spirit of Grilled Cheese Day, the Web event,
dinner chez doxa-louise consisted of a toasted Velveeta cheese and
Golden apple sandwich, with oven fries, and a garden salad (it's actually
snowing here; don't make me cry) enriched with grapes and almonds and a
Hellmann's mayo dressing. With milk (dairy no 3 for the day). It was all
actually different and rather good.
The idea for the sandwich - which I got on the Web - was from a
restaurant chef who uses exotic health bread with the finest cheddar and
cooks the sandwich a second time (20 minutes in the oven) to soften the apple.
Which just goes to show there sometimes really is a needy audience for black hole
Web programming.

Burger Bar
I need to get out more: the following from the menu at Burger Bar, Las Vegas.
If the photo is food pornography (glossy, high color. close-up...etc), the actual
presentation is food art.

Ottoman Empire
It is a commonplace of historical research in the West
that world dominance shifted from Asia to Europe beginning in 1500 AD.
Two 'revolutions' are cited here: the dogged desire to open a sea route for
commerce toward India and China, in part because of monopoly condition over
land routes. This eventually led to the discover of America with
uncalculable consequences. The other was the capacity within Europe to embrace a scientific
world view, leading to the industrial model of organization. Interestingly,
this unity was an outgrowth of Christianity. Russia followed suit.
The concepts of 'Europe' and 'Asia' are themselves historical accidents. Herodotus
used Asia to refer to Asia minor and everything to the East. The etymology is Akkadian;
Asia is sun rise, and Europe sunset.
Asia saw the birth of much knowledge and many inventions: indeed this was its
attractiveness. Even vaccination, the first step to modern medecine, was first practiced in
China. It was a matter of luck: discovering America. And the alledged decadence of the East
ie the eventual elaboration of static social models, and the intolerance that these engender.
