Happy New Year, Glibbies!
We are still settling into new Casa Dominatrix, and haven’t fully unpacked the kitchen, so this week’s recipe has only been made once, but it was delicious.
I am guessing on the spice measurements because my measuring spoons are still packed away, so adjust to taste.
Nutritional yeast is a core component of this recipe. I prefer the Anthony’s brand and you can get it on Amazon.
This dish tastes rich and meaty, yet uses no meat, or oils of any kind. I served it over white rice.
Random Curryish
- 2.5 cups red lentils
- 2 cans chick peas (drained, not rinsed)
- 1 lg carrot (diced)
- 2 tbsp red onion (minced)
- 1/5 cups nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp Balti seasoning
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- dash celery salt
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
-
In a pot over medium heat, add the lentils and cover with water. Cook until the lentils are cooked through. Skim off the froth as necessary.
-
Add the chick peas, carrots, onions, nutritional yeast. and enough water to cover. Plus 1/4″ in the pot. Stir.
-
Add the spices, adjusting to taste as needed.
-
Simmer, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. It’s done when it’s slightly thicker than stew.

I do something similar, but with chicken.
1 tsp Balti seasoning
*wanders off to duck duck go to figure out what this is*
Ah, a fellow DuckDuckGo traveler.
/fuck google
I’m doing my research on degoogling. The hardest part is getting off of the gmail account I’ve had for over 10 years.
Second
With google in mind, I read this the other day. It wasnt anything shocking to me, but as someone not in the business, I had to wonder- if every google device is recording everything, all the time, and sending that date to the mother ship, how much storage do they require ?
*sigh – second try after getting logged out in the middle of a long comment goddamn fucking wordpress*
False choice between “voice” and “menus”. I have an application on my desktop that lets me e.g. play any song in few keystrokes. You don’t to go voice to get ease of use.
PS. Voice is totally unnatural anyway & I don’t get why people fall for it except that’s it the “new” thing.
This is why I use a text input task launcher (launchy). Rather than doing some sort of hierarchical search, I can have the target of my search up in 3 or 4 keystrokes.
Yeah, I use a Mac equivalent (LaunchBar).
My first step to degoogling was setting up an account at Protonmail with a complex password.
My second step was to forget the password.*
My third and current step is randomly try different passwords in the unlikely chance of unlocking it. I get 10 tries in before my account freezes and the wait to unfreeze is long enough that I forget to try again.
*I do use a password manager now.
Next thing to do is get Abine Blur so that you don’t have to give your proton mail address to anybody.
I’ve been strongly considering it. Being able to mask my phone number and credit card is also very appealing.
Looked to see what Abine Blur was and found this.

That’s a big honking fuck up! Good thing I only gave them my email address.
Oops. Another reason I find all this theater to be overkill – for my needs. I understand the mileage of others may vary but I don’t have the patience for it.
I find a password manager to be more valuable for convenience than security. I’ve got logins for something like 70 different sites. Many of the sites have different requirements for both usernames and passwords. It’s too much trying to remember. My password manager keeps track and automatically plugs them in.
I use the one built-in to my browser. Just spent a few hours the other day changing all my passwords to strong ones.
How does that work?
Basically it creates an email address that is set to automatically forward to your real email address. If the fake address is compromised, you just shut it off and make a new one.
For example, I post a fake address here with no precautions. The first one got scraped by some spam bot, and I immediately shut it off and created a new glibs address.
I don’t have a gmail account, so degoogling mostly involved putting a new duckduckgo tab on my browser bar, and moving google off it.
Sometimes I still use google maps when Waze is acting up, or when I’m planning a road trip with multiple stops.
This recipe seems like something a Russian agent would post.

Luv it. Another classic.
No love for Deborah Iyall? Ill throw in some Romeo Void
That one I had on cassette!
I still do!
Wouldn’t but I do like her lyrics.
I believe somewhere I have a CD with the first US pressing of The Pleasure Victim.
“Sex (I’m A…)” and “Masquerade” seemed to get more airplay, but I liked this track more.
Yeah, The Metro is their best track IMHO. I had Pleasure Victim on cassette a thousand years ago…

“Take My Breath Away”
I just pretend that’s a different band or something.
Nunn won an Oscar for it.
(And it was Giorgio Moroder’s third Oscar.)
Shit, I didn’t know HE was involved in that excrescence. For shame.
Same thought!
According to Wikipedia they broke up because of that song. Terri wanted to do more like it and the rest of the band hated it because they didn’t write it.
Oh. I was much happier with her 1977 Penthouse layout.
I take you back a decade further…

The hair on these guys cracks me up! However, both have quite a set of pipes.
The days where you couldn’t autotune your way out of having minimal voice talent.
Let’s go back a little Führerther.

*He’s talking about getting a blow job.
Took me second on that one. Still tough for me to comprehend.
And I hate that Japanese custom of the streaming comments – although here it is perfect.
From what I’m catching it’s something along the lines of, “I was getting drunk after picking up some booze from the conbini. Got drunk and someone stuck three fingers up his ass while giving him a BJ and he shit all over the place…”. I’m not gonna listen too closely, but it’s funny anyways.
Also assuming you’ve seen this…

Right era – wrong artist of course!
I cross that bridge at 2:06 all the time. My favorite pachinko parlor is at the other end.
80’s, but not a chick:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESTWxcnO8_A
I haven’t heard that in ages!
I really like that album. Haven’t heard it since maybe ’88 or ’89.
80s, but not a chick
(And Canadian for those who care about that thing.)
Why are they each dressed like a roll of Lifesavers ?
I really enjoyed the Del Fuegos.
The drummer jumped in front of the metro due to boredom.
That must have been some boredom.
My bet is one of these:

Also compressed and reverbed with all kinds of 1980s studio gimmicks.
Sounds good. I love chickpeas.
They make great tacos.
Indeed!
I got my W-2 today, and ran the numbers:
My adjusted income was $1900 greater than in 2017, but my federal taxes are $160 less than last year. With the old tax rates, it would have been a ~$400 difference. Not bad for a poor guy like me.
No, Nancy, that’s not peanuts.
Nice. I’m curious how mine will be affected. No W-2’s yet.
NYS taxes that $1900 at a marginal rate of about 5%. And they didn’t increase the standard deduction for inflation.
Fuckers.
“No, Nancy, that’s not peanuts.”
More like macadamia nuts?
“Rose McGowan pleads no contest to a misdemeanor drug charge and is ordered to pay a $2,500 fine for two bags of cocaine found in a wallet she left behind at an airport”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6590917/Actress-McGowan-pleads-no-contest-misdemeanor-drug-charge.html
I guess it depends on how big the bags were.
“McGowan arrived at her Circuit Court hearing in Leesburg Monday alongside her partner Rain Dove…” is where I stopped reading
Oh lordy I forgot about that silliness.
I can’t tell how big they are from this pic.
I’m going with misdemeanor size.
Lock it up-Chafed wins the internet on that one.
Bravo, sir!
Thank you and good night.
One last heaving set for Mammary Monday.

Ahh. In keeping with the vegan theme, my first gallon of beer is now resting comfortably in the guest bedroom closet, ready to start fermenting.
You know who else put something in a closet to ferment ?
Everyone currently in prison?
Ted Bundy? Son of Sam?
I think that was Dahmer.
I think he preferred acid filled barrels to closets.
He did that too, but his goal was to preserve the corpse and “use” it later. When he got busted he had various parts in a cabinet and some in preservatives.
He was just being frugal.
Gah – I’ve never actually read anything or looked into him at all. Now I don’t think I want to.
Lindsay Graham?
Hay-oooh!!!
How is enslaving yeast vegan?
Yeast is a fungus. Totally vegan.
Good to know.
@The Bearded Hobbit if you’re still around, are you still looking for that Hitler of Reason video? “Why the f**k didn’t Bobby post the links?!” etc. etc.
I couldn’t find it this afternoon. I wonder if it was in a private account?
I have it. I can post a link on my website – doubt there are any copyright issues?
Probably not.
Wonder what happened to Injun?
Hier. See if this is what y’all were talking about. Regardless, it’s genius.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s it.
Yeah, that’s the one.
Thanks!
There’s also this one.
I don’t think I saw that one. It’s nicely on point.
Me neither – *saving for later*
Oh bravo!
I’d not seen that before…”don’t worry, the Jacket will save us.”
That’s gold, Jerry. Gold!
How did you make that? I use clipgrab, but it’s a pain in the ass.
There was a “Hitler caption” site that I used.
Like the Star Wars opening scroll site, eh? Thx and that was well done.
By the way, the comments on my video have an appearance from mary.
OMG, that’s wonderful!
“It’s okay, the jacket will save us.” LOL
That’s the good stuff right there.
Yeah. I’m out.
Good night y’all.

And YouTube felt compelled to show me this after that:

Friend in college had the EXTENDED version of this….
LOL it doesn’t exactly hold up, does it.
From Wiki:
According to Burns, the record company was unenthusiastic about “You Spin Me Round”, to such an extent that Burns had to take out a £2,500 loan to record it, then once it had been recorded “the record company said it was awful. It was unanimous – it was awful, it was rubbish.” Burns stated that the band had to fund production of the song’s video themselves.
Does that mean they (the band) got to keep the profits and royalties, or did they get screwed coming and going?
I love a lot of 80s crap but that is just a step too far.
Perhaps an 80s palate cleanser
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uxc9eFcZyM
Yeah, totally holds up.
Another 80s band that still sounds fresh today.
As a last song for the evening this one stands up pretty well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEZH0t5Yozw
Yes, yes that does. Nice.
Yes it does, because it’s from the seventies. not the eighties.
Like this one:

Drop 3 years and play for effect!
Good evening, night owls! Finally home from work, dinner in the toaster oven.
This was the perfect example of why Monday at work sucks.
Always nice to come home and read Glibs with a cocktail in hand.
Good evening Hayek. I am on a biz trip north of you in Washington. I forgot what winter was like outside the tropics and must say it is not impressing me. Still you can count on the Army to stock good German Bier so I am enjoying a Bavarian style dunkel brewed near the town I lived in. So ‘Prost!’ to you.
Nostrovya!
Safe travels to you.
Just read this article. (Or did I?) It has some good lines about the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation fight.
“….my money is on Amy Coney Barrett. She’s got some huge assets that make her the likely pick, starting with the “her” part. Let’s face it – gender and other irrelevancies matter to some people. It’s stupid and prejudiced, but there it is – liberals don’t get that us conservatives would be thrilled with a panel of nine lesbian Muslims of color with limps who believe the First and Second Amendments mean what they say.”
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2019/01/14/apocalypse-ruth-n2538971
I’ve heard it bandied about that the whole Knights of Columbus drama with Brian Buescher is a trial balloon for a line of attack against Barrett. She’s an extremist, you see, because of the whole devout Catholic thing.
They already attacked her for her Catholic associations at her last confirmation hearing.
I was just reading that, I managed to miss that at the time.
*sigh*
I guess that nonsense comes with the territory.
Yeah, it does Rhywun. Sigh. But using the barrels of proggie tears I will collect to brine my dirty martinis with ameliorates the pain somewhat.
I’ve always thought the Chesterton quote does have _some_ validity – you see all sorts of “spiritual searching” by people who end up grabbing onto some of the most amazing things.
But there are plenty of people who can do without spirituality without thrashing around for something to take its place.
Well, like a lot of nonsense, there is a kernel of truth to it. But in the end it’s just a vague generalization that turns out to be more useful for bashing your enemies than revealing anything profound, IMHO.
Fuck yeah. This classic just got teed up.

Back in the Cold War my unit taught the Italian Para-Alpini this song during a drunken fest atop a mountain. What followed was a totally drunken nighttime race (the moon was up) race down the World Cup Men’s Downhill course. We didn’t win, but we did keep ‘Murica’s’ honor intact with our efforts.
I just read the DM article on the White House visit by Clemson football team where Trump bought a bunch of fast food with his own money for the guys since much of the White House staff is furloughed.
So they had stacks of fast food next to elegant silver dishes and presidential seal napkins.
I thought it was pretty cute and from the pictures, so did the players. But try reading the comments and TDS looms large!!

They should do away with this tradition anyways. Leave it to the boosters to pay for fancy meals for these kids not tax payers.
I didn’t know a presidential dinner for the winners of minor league football was a thing. It should absolutely not be.
I didn’t either. The reporters seemed pretty disappointed that no players had “boycotted”.
If the president wants to pay on his own dime, fine. Otherwise, I don’t see it as legit taxpayer thing.
The downside of all this nonsense is that after looking around at these total elitist, smug and self righteous assholes, I no longer feel my faults are that bad.
Plus the entire Glibertarian group is on lists they’ll never make. Wait? Is that a good thing? I guess so, since we already know those progs are coming for us and we can prepare for the day. They, on the other hand, will be protesting “that there must be some mistake” as they get dragged to the edge of the pit by the hard people who will follow them.
From a picture is worth a thousand words in today’s paper. “Would you like any dessert?” The guy’s expression…

Is he on a keto diet?
Listening to an old Greg Kihn song. Fpr whatever reason, there’s a Spanish headline “Cuando El Amor Se Va” My Spanish is pretty old, but that reads to me “When Love Exists” Am I wrong?
Given that it’s “The Break-up Song” Maybe “while love exists” would be a better phrasing.
I think we’re being punished for our lack of appreciation by lynz deprivation.

Dammit.
