Lemon Sour Cream Dip

Smitha's Bake Love

Its not common that I have sourcream in my fridge for few days. You see, I make yogurt at home. So, anything I want sourcream, I can most probably replace it with homemade yogurt. But few weeks ago I made a recipe specifically with sour cream and then I had some leftovers.

And then I happened to go to produce junction recently and picked up boat load of produce for real cheap. Go here, if you would like to see what I picked up and how I used all of it.

So, while I was prepping various veggies for brunch the next day, I saw sour cream sitting in the fridge and I knew what I could do with produce and cream together. The dip can be made in minutes and its very yummy and goes with any produce or even fruits.

Check out Garlic Kale Chips here.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 is a contest that closed September 30, 2017.

The National Register of Historic Place # 16000590, the Dennis-Newton House of Ithaca, New York is a recent listing, dated September 6, 2016.  In researching potential for the Wiki contest, I discovered this place was absent a photograph.  Seizing the opportunity, I grabbed these photographs the same session as the suppressed Ithaca Pottery Site, published in my blog in April.

The location was a revelation, around the corner and a few blocks down from our son and daughter-in-law’s house where they are raising three (of our 12) grandchildren, across the street from where the children take swim lessons.  Parking in downtown Ithaca is incredibly coveted and I was not motivated to shoot during the golden hour where cars would, maybe, not be parked out front and the light perfect for the…

Province in China encourages residents to inform on crypto miners – UPI.com

A Chinese province that has approved new coal-fired power plants is cracking down on cryptocurrency miners as concern rises over emissions.

The Inner Mongolia Development and Reform Commission said that it would create a new hotline for residents to inform on people suspected of crypto mining.

Inner Mongolia in February vowed to shut down cryptocurrency mines to reduce energy consumption, but mining resumes secretly, the Financial Times reported Thursday.

The whistleblower initiative comes at a time when Xi Jinping is seeking to reduce carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve “carbon neutrality” by 2060, the report said.

التفاهة كنز لا يفنى

Google translation of title and introduction: Triviality is an endless treasure
OMARDARWISH20IN THOUGHT , SOCIAL ISSUES
Insignificance and the absence of meaning has become characteristic of many productive works and actions issued by institutions and individuals around the world, so that one who thinks a little can notice that the world is heading strongly towards triviality, where the value of serious things such as science, politics, culture and history is underestimated in favor of interest in bad ideas such as fetching Fame and money in any way possible, and the concomitant building of societal and individual awareness of the values ​​of mediocrity, vulgarity, decadence and absence of conscience. Insignificance, at its core, represents a lack of creativity, originality, depreciation of things and people, insignificance and competence.

حلم الدرويش

التفاهة وغياب المعنى أصبحت من سمات الكثير من الأعمال المُنتجة والأفعال الصادرة عن المؤسسات والأفراد حول العالم ، حتى أن من يُفكر قليلاً يُمكن أن يلاحظ أن العالم يتجه بقوة ناحية التفاهة حيث يتم التقليل من قيمة الأشياء الجادة من علوم وسياسة وثقافة وتاريخ لصالح الاهتمام بالأفكار الرديئة مثل جلب الشهرة والأموال بأى طريقة ممكنة ، وما يُصاحب ذلك من بناء الوعى المُجتمعى والفردى على قيم الرداءة والابتذال والانحطاط وغياب الضمير . التفاهة فى جوهرها تُمثل النقص فى الإبداع والأصالة وانخفاض قيمة الأشياء والأشخاص وانعدام الأهمية والكفاءة . صنعت وسائل التواصل الإجتماعى والتطبيقات الحديثة أرض خصبة للتفاهة والتافهين وأعطتهم فُرصة ذهبية لممارسة التفاهة بشكل واضح ومُباشر على المَلأ والوصول للجماهير حتى لو كان ذلك بتقديم مُحتوى هزلى ورَدىء بدون ضوابط إجتماعية وأخلاقية .
