Religious Toleration

Well as I sit here on this Sunday, watching cartoons with Eva, I thought I would spend this time doing something productive. Being a blogger, or rather trying to be, I try to stay up on the latest relevant news and unless you have been living under a rock for the past week you cannot help but know that there is some terrible stuff happening all over the world right now. I posted about the Egyptian protests and would have covered everything that was going on in Libya but thought that you would have enough information from everyone else, but you can see that on my Facebook Page. I also just plain didn't have the time.

Egyptian protesters tear down US Flag and burn it on anniversary of 9/11


This just in. Will update when more information is known.

Update

USA Today says that CNN reported that U.S. Security guards, probably U.S. Marines fired warning shots today shortly after 2 pm EST. Of the 2000 protesters that are outside of the walls Reuters is saying that only 20 have climbed the walls. If you watch the video it looks to me as if more than twenty have shimmied up there.

Children, Mead, and Good Times

I have recently started brewing kombucha tea. If you don't know what it is head over to Cultures for Health and educate yourself. Once I know that I have a successful batch I will put up a post about it. This attempt has also refueled this need that I have always felt to brew some good homemade adult beverages. 

The first thing that I wanted to brew at home was mead. Yes, you did read that correctly. I hadn't actually tasted mead until this past Saturday and that was my main reason for not even attempting to make it. I just couldn't justify spending the money on the equipment, which isn't actually all that expensive, or the ingredients, which kind of is.
