Poverty

The only people I ever heard talk about my Lady Poverty
were rich people, or people who imagined themselves rich.
Saint Francis himself was a rich and spoiled young man.
Being born among the working people
I know that poverty is a hard old hag,
and a monster, when you're pinched for actual necessities.
And whoever says she isn't, is a liar.
I don't want to be poor, it means I am pinched.
But neither do I want to be rich.
When I look at this pine-tree near the sea,
that grows out of rock, and plumes forth, plumes forth,
I see it has natural abundance.
With its roots it has a grand grip on its daily bread,
and its plumes look like green cups held up to the sun and air
and full of wine.
I want to be like that, to have a natural abundance
and plume forth, and be splendid.

Poverty

clipped by: bunnicula
clipper's remarks: Directions:

Put lentils in saucepan, cover with veggie broth, bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid has absorbed.

Meanwhile boil potatoes in salted water until just beginning to soften, but still firm (about 15 minutes).

Melt margarine in good sized pan, add onion and carrot, and sauté until onions are transparent, then add mushrooms, spices and salt.

Sauté for another 5 minutes or so, then add leeks. Cover and simmer for about 7 minutes, until leeks are tender but still firm.

Stir in cooked lentils.

Slice partly-cooked potatoes fairly thinly and arrange half in the base of a large oven-proof dish.

Spread lentil mixture over the top. Cover with sliced tomatoes, then the remaining sliced potatoes. Sprinkle with vegan cheese and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes.

Serves: 6 or 8

Preparation time: 30 minutes.

you need to use a Hungarian, or a "hot" paprika.

I also like to replace about 1/3 of the rice with red lentils.

And I also thought it could use a bit of garlic

I needed an easy recipe that I could whip up quickly the night before in the little space of time I had between going to the gym and getting my beauty sleep.
Donna Hay to the rescue! This is from her book: Modern Classics Book 2.

making crayons

Gather up all of your broken crayons, and cut them into small pieces. (An adult will need to complete this step.)
Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
Fill the muffin tin with an inch-thick layer of crayon pieces.
Bake 15-20 minutes, or until the wax is melted.
Allow the tin to cool; then pop out the crayons, and they're ready for use.

Tips:

If you don't have a muffin tin to devote to crayon making, you can line your regular muffin tin with foil cups.
Candy and soap making molds can also be used to create fun, shaped crayons.
Recycled crayons make a great no-cost gift or party favor.

Have lots of crayon stubs that are too small to hold on to? Don't throw them out! You can use them to create big, chunky crayons – and your kids can help.

What You'll Need:

Newspaper
3 cups sawdust (available at a lumberyard)
2 cups wet wallpaper paste (mix with water according to package directions)
Acrylic paints
Paintbrush
Large bowl and spoon
Tube
Wire frame or foil

Step 1: Cover your work surface with newspaper. Have an adult help you mix the sawdust and wet wallpaper paste together in a large bowl, and stir until the mixture becomes doughlike. Take the sawdust mixture out of the bowl, and knead it with your hands.

Step 2: Use this thick clay to make textural sculptures with an adult's help. You can form your sculpture over a tube, a wire frame, or a small ball of foil.

Step 3: This clay is also great for making small bowls and vases. Once you've finished shaping your clay creation, paint it with a coat of wet wallpaper paste to set it. Let it air dry for about four days. When dry, paint it with acrylic paints.
