my favorite picture (that i have taken) + 2 that used to be the best

this picture was taken during a winter storm, after 5 days with no electricity and no one but mary jane to keep me company… but i wasn’t alone… do you see the face on the top right?

I collect a lot of things. Quotes are one of them.

I wish that I was eloquent and articulate enough to communicate my thoughts in the clearest and most concise way. I’m not, luckily there have been those who are…

It is a great happiness when two good minds meet, both cultivated and with such difference of learning as to excite each other’s curiosity, and such similarity as to understand each other’s allusions in the touch-and-go of conversation. They make each other strong and confident… The unspoken part of this conversation is the most valuable. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

truer were never spoken… much more after the jump…

the nine sites i use everyday (don’t you?)

iGoogle +Gmail:
i had yahoo mail for years (with my.yahoo as home). i have a hotmail address (purely for messenger) which i hate and use as my spam address. i use Gmail. it is simply the best… and if you want: email, multi-city weather, rss feeds, stocks, horoscope, quotes + anything else you could possibly want in a homepage it’s iGoogle… so simple and customizable, I mean, c’mon it’s google.

google suggest:
don’t you wish google knew what you wanted to find before you finished typing? (it does)

facebook:
you love it or you hate it or both. i’m both. i love what it does. i hate where it’s early venture capital came from (hint: the C*A) and what it could be used for (think about all the photos you are tagged in, now think about the big brotheresque facial recognition software that is being developed… put on your tinfoil hat and combine)

reddit.com
“Reddit is a social news website where users can post links to content on the web. Other users may then vote the posted links up or down, causing them to appear more or less prominently on the Reddit home page.”

one of the best places for ‘breaking news’ and things you probably wouldn’t see (or miss) otherwise, but are often “wow! that’s cool!” or “wow! that’s awful! (it’s kinda like t.v… if you squint)

the Healthiest, Tastiest, Easiest sandwich in the world!

Quite the boast! Now to back it up… meet ‘The Teitge (no carb) Red Pepper Sandwich’

You will need:

• a knife
• red bell pepper
• baby spinach
• cheese (i use provolone)
• meat (i prefer thin sliced roast beef)
• broccoli sprouts (optional, they are extremely healthy but have a strong spicy taste that will tend to take over the sandwich)

(vegetables linked to extremely detailed and informative nutritional profiles)

Now simply cut the pepper in half, remove seeds, layer in meat, cheese, spinach and sprouts and bon appetit! Takes only a couple minutes and No clean up… how’s that for easy.

I came up with the recipe while reading “The South Beach Diet” and “SuperFoods Rx” (both great sources of easily digestible nutritional information). At the time I was doing quite a lot of hiking and was looking for a portable, high protein snack that incorporated several ’superfoods’ and no ‘bad carbs.’Voilà! The healthiest easiest meal I know!

Is it the tastiest? I think so… try it (and let me know what you think!)

Bonus: tofu for veggie/vegan, atkins and anabolic diet friendly and… sometimes I melt mozzarella in the microwave and pour it into the pepper (eat while warm, it’s decadent and amazing)
