yum homemade sweet chilli!

on sunday we went to the vege markets and bought heaps and heaps of chillies. then couple of days ago blended them up into some awesome chilli sauce. its quite yum.

i didnt really follow a recipe, although i did consult one first for some ideas.

basically if you wanna make something awesome, just do it to your tastes. This is about what i can remember for next time:

• couple thumbs of ginger and galangal
• bulb or so of garlic
• as many chilies as i had (20ish 2-3 inch ones)

blend all that up and add:

• half a cup of raw sugar
• bit of water
• sprinkle of rock salt

and cook untill boiling, then reduce to simmer for 5 mins or so. then add:

• 100mls of cider vinegar
• 50mls dark soy
• about half a blended kaffir lime (no rind)

cook a touch more i guess and vola! jar while hot.

maby next time i might try some lemon grass and some of the kaffir lime leaves.

“We are currently rehearsing for the new tour, and are working on 10-12 songs we haven’t played since reforming, spanning all periods of the band. We are hopeful to put together a completely new set for this arena tour that would feel a lot different from our 2007 shows.” — Billy

awesome Christmas presents

having a discussion about sending things overseas. if you send a bag of pineapple lumps to someone, chances are they will milt. especially if you send them to jamica. what if you capatilised on this idea. for example you got an awesome shaped container and filled it with melt’able things. what an awesome gift!! you could even do it locally. although you might need to pre-melt the contence. say, leaving it on the windowsill all day in something weird shaped (or not, as your preference may be). that would certianally take care of the container not being full once its melted problem. how great would a huge pineapple lump be? yum!

Dispensation; of what faith sir?

English is so awesome. Was having part of this conversation recently, on the back of this from qwantz. This crazy word is viewed differently based on your religious beliefs!! so cool.

• Dispensation is the act of distributing goods or services, especially those that are regulated, as in the practice of pharmacists.

• In the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, a dispensation is the act of an authority making an exception to laws, standards, or customs.

• In Buddhism, the Buddha’s dispensation is his teaching.

• In Protestant Christian theology, a dispensation is a distinctive arrangement or period in which the purpose of God is worked out. Dispensationalism though is a specific Christian theological view that teaches specific periods of time called dispensations form the framework through which God relates to mankind.

• In Mormonism, a dispensation is a period of time where one or more men designated as holding the priesthood are responsible for “dispensing the gospel” to people on the earth.

• In the Bahá’í Faith, a dispensation is a period of progressive revelation relating to the major religions of humanity.
