Have been planning on replacing the entry door at home. So in looking around, I found an article in Yahoo done by the Bob Vila about doors. In that, there was a link (twice actually) to a tool called MAX that supposedly walks you through choosing a door (http://homedepotmax.masonite.com/). I thought "hey, great, let me use that".
Chickpea Curry / Channa Masala
Serves 4 to 5
1 medium onion, quartered
3 to 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and quartered
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into several pieces
2 tsps ground coriander
1 tsps ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper (amount depends upon your taste)
Paneer is a somewhat soft cheese that comes in a block. It does not melt like aged cheese. So it still keeps its shape in cooked dishes like this one. 
This can be spicy hot or not..... all up to you. Taste great either way. Nice to serve with chapatis (Indian flour tortilla).
TV was on but I wasn't paying much attention and was busy using my laptop to catch up on some work. Then I heard this unique tune in TV. I looked up and burst out laughing at the funny dance by this Korean singer named Psy. Then I heard that the dance has gone viral on the internet. Just like that, I started noticing Psy appearing in various TV shows including Ellen DeGeneres' show. I simply adore Ellen and wish to get a chance to meet her some day. But for now, I am inspired to learn the Gangnam dance.
I'm all for Proposition 37. It will require some foods to be labeled if they contain genetically modified material. We need to know what we are putting into our bodies. That should not be up to companies like Monsanto to decide. As it is, such companies got this stuff out into the food chain with no clearance from anyone. Our government was all "uh.... well... OK... since we're already stuck with it, we'll allow it to continue.....". Hello??? Just because someone thought this up and then created it in the lab does not automatically mean we should just accept it, no questions asked!
As I look around, I see so much waste. People read about the three Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) but not many seem to do much about it. Even though it is mentioned in TV, advertised on the internet, bill boards, etc., the majority of people don't really seem to comprehend the fact that we live in a finite world and it will not be so long before we run out of resources. When we say "not be so long", I believe people shrug their shoulders, generally thinking some decades off in the future so there is plenty of time to handle problems later.
It seems like most people eat cornflakes and presume that cornflakes are cornflakes - all the same, whoever makes them.
Well, I'm here to tell you this is NOT the case. We found out the hard way that even cornflakes can be poorly made.
My husband and I were at the Indian store getting other items when he saw cornflakes there. Remembering the ones he had eaten in India as being just as good as the ones he had eaten in the US, he said "let's get these". So we did.
The Olympics have begun. Such excitement. Such skill. Such a level of competition. Over 200 countries represented AND each one had at least one women competitor. The USA team has MORE women than men! Will be great to watch through these next couple of weeks as the various sports are played by the world's top atheletes.
Ellen DeGeneres is picking daily winners will get a pair of tickets to her show, plus hotel and airfare for their trip to Los Angeles.

I grew up as a daughter of military parents. My mother was naval reserve when she met my father who was in the army. After I was born she resigned, and my father went voluntary indefinite. I am old enough to have spent a year of my life crying myself to sleep every night from mid 1967 to mid 1968, begging God to send my father home safe from Vietnam. My father did return to us, but his easy smile and laugh were gone for many years.
