Menu Monday 21 Dec 2009

On: 20 Dec 2009

This is the last week before Christmas, and I’ll be preparing to go out of town for several days. Two things are going to be different because of that: (1) I am going to be doing different breakfasts so that I can do a “Christmas Breakfast Ideas” post; and (2) the meals toward the end of the week will be very simple with little chance of leftovers. We are leaving 4AM Thursday morning, so my menu will end with Wednesday.

Here’s the menu plan for my family for the week of Monday, December 21st.

Creation: Mother Nature’s Plan

By: Gregg
On: 20 Dec 2009

Before I step into the primordial soup that is Chemical Evolution, which slips nicely down the logical slope into the quagmire of Abiogenesis, I must preface those future posts with some foundational data. This data is important for context. The foundational data we must examine has to do with the fallacy of Darwinist reification and the age of the earth. In this post, I will focus on reification.

Turkey Burgers with Basil Mayonnaise

By: Hallee
On: 19 Dec 2009

I didn’t used to like ground turkey. Back in my previous life with no grocery budget to speak of, I’d buy ground turkey because it was cheaper than ground beef. But it was gristly and just didn’t taste good. I came across some ground turkey breast on a manager’s special at my grocery store and thought I’d give it another go. After much searching, I found this amazing recipe. I’ve made it twice now, tweaked it a bit here and there, and it is a WONDERFUL sandwich.

Critical Thinking: Formal Fallacies

By: Hallee
On: 19 Dec 2009

An argument is called “valid” when it’s form is correct and does not lend to a mistake in reasoning due to a faulty structure. An argument is deemed “cogent” when its form is valid and its premises are sound. In logic, “valid” means that if the premises are true, the conclusion is also true. A fallacy can occur when the form is adulterated to reach a false conclusion.

I added a Prayer Request page. You can get to it from the tabs across the top or from here. Let’s all use it and be a blessing to each other.

Christmas Past

By: Hallee
On: 18 Dec 2009

When it was much later than Santa probably wanted it to be, we’d pack up and drive home and the four of us would go to bed certain we’d never be able to sleep, and likely were asleep within minutes of laying down.

Christmas Tour of My Home

By: Hallee
On: 17 Dec 2009

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve hesitated about doing this post for a while now. I am not a decorator, nor do I pretend to be. I don’t know what to do or how to do it. I can copy what someone else has done, but when I go to copy it, I have a super incredible really hard time spending the money to do it.

Case in point: my husband built the bookshelves and fireplace mantle you’ll see in these pictures in August when he was home for vacation. In August. Most of the shelves are still bare. I just really don’t know what to put on them.

But, in the spirit of the Yule, and in hoping that after I hit the after Christmas mega sales on decorating items, this will bring you a little bit of joy and maybe provide me with a “look how much I improved since last year” post next year. :)

Today is my husband Gregg’s birthday. I won’t tell you how old he is, but I might leave you a clue. :-) (Hint: today is the second anniversary of his fortieth birthday.)
