ex cathedra: The wages of spatchcocking

The wages of spatchcocking

is chicken stock.

I saved up the backbones and all the rest for several fowls I have eviscerated (even have a scissors for it now) and spent some of yesterday and today cooking them up: water, black peppercorns, garlic, thyme, carrots, onions, celery. Separated out the meat and bones, the veggies, the broth. Then removed most of the fat from the refrigerated broth, froze half the stock and fat and remixed the rest all together. Nice. Smells great. Dinner tonight with Thom.

Lunch today was leftover boeuf Bourguignon (beef stew with pretensions) from dinner last night (the mussels appetizer was outstanding) at Liverpool Lil's. Nice dinner, very nice evening.

Even though The West is declining, Barry Hussein O is in the White House and my life is at low tide, good food is one of life's reliable sources of pleasure.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
