My dad just gave me a TON of great veggies form his garden today. That included lots of zucchini. Which would happen to be my favorite squash. One of my fondest summer memories growing up, would be waking up to the smell of fried zucchini on a Saturday morning. My dad would wake up earlier, work on the garden and pick fresh zucchini. Then he would fry a lot of them up. The smell would wake me up, my room was right above the kitchen, and I would go down for that green breakfast. It would never be quite done when I came down, so I am sure I was rather annoying as I would watch and ask if it was done yet. The longer you could wait for it cook, the better it always seemed to get. Then when it got done, there was always that wait for it to cool, it seemed like an eternity over the wonderful aroma of cooked zucchini.
I decided to cook up a batch for a midnight snack tonight.
It is a really simple recipe, that it seems few people have had in their lives. Just simply slice up a few zucchini with the slicing side of a box shredder and cook in some butter. Add salt and pepper. Thats it! Really it is not “fried”, more in the sense cooked down, like fried cabbage or sautéed I suppose would be the word? Anyway Yum!
My Fried Zucchini!

Occasionally, I will search for something, find a bunch of information and want to distill it down to a “best of” or summery if you will. Well that’s what this is. If you have any interest in yoga, strengthening your core muscles, or flattening your stomach, check out the videos and sites I found. If not pass on this low interest post….

For the past 6 months I have been trying my own version of vegetarianism. It is similar to a weekend vegetarian. I thought I would share my diet with others incase you want to try or what to give me feedback or share your thoughts. It came out of my desire to eat healthy, and have less of a negative impact on the planet and its other inhabitants. All while still not missing out on enjoyment of food and culture. Continue reading for more info.

Grass mowing is one the most widely ignored environmental strains in the USA. It’s one we can not even avoid if we want to. Most places have laws against tall grass, and a huge amount of social pressure to have a nice lawn. This pressure is so strong even a University, a place that forward thinking, and “liberal” ideas abound, would not even consider anything but the golf course cut. Our ideals must change! If we really care about the environment, clean air, and future generations we have too think differently about what is right and wrong. Tall grass or an unkept lawn is actually a positive habit, not a negative one. We need to applaud, not fine or scorn people that DO NOT mow and put that social pressure on those with the manicured, environmentally damaging lawns. Maybe you don’t think a manicured lawn is that bad? Well read further for more info.

Imagine your doctor just told you have a medical condition. One you may never have heard of. You get home google it, read all about it, and learn the dizzying array of treatments, medications, home remedies and lifestyle changes that all claim to help. What if you could ask someone that has the same problem as you what worked and didn’t work for them? What if you could ask a 1000 people and have them rate how effective each was? That’s kind of how CureTogether works.

After a few months of learning and coding, my Tea application is finally done! It was just submitted to Palm, so I hope they approve it with no problems. I posted the description and screen shots here on my webpage, check them out!
If this gets approved I will begin my next application. I am planing on doing one a month. It was a great learning experience . This was the first time I really worked a lot with Javascript(before I was only coping and pasting the code snippets I needed), and to be honest, I really like it.

In my job I get ALOT of exposure to people, and a lot of times I have to touch their keyboards and mice, which is a breeding ground for lots of nasty bacteria and viruses. This Friday I began to get sick, soon after I find out I have been exposed to at least two confirmed cases of the “swine flu” or H1N1. Not being a huge fan of the doctor, and preferring to do things my way, David and I decided to create a super smoothy that will kill just about any virus infection you may have. Sure it does not taste the best, but to be honest, it’s not too bad! Check it out! (more…)

A while back a friend of ours gave us a bag of their USDA Pinto beans. I will not name them, because they would probably get in trouble for giving away any extra they had gotten. If you don’t know what I am talking about, they are the free ones the US Department of Agriculture gives to local governments to pass out to the poor. Which is a really cool idea, in theory. Well I decided to cook them today… (more…)
