Roger's View of the World, Love and Seafood Gumbo!
Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Well, today we had Karen’s favorite signature dish Beef Stroganoff.
What made it so exciting is our fresh herbs … thanks to Laura’s purchase of ‘AeroGarden’.
Yep, I love the fresh herbs, but truthfully… I’ll throw an extra bit of the dried herbs to help accent the flavor in the sauce.

It’s not that Donald Hindley is a former Trojan that I rush to his defense… although that is certainly reason enough! It is hard to see an academician being railroaded by an administration to meet some politically motivated objective… or as best said by Fire’s Greg Lukianoff:
“I have no idea whether Brandeis simply has a grudge against Professor Hindley or if it is simply too arrogant to admit that it has done something wrong here, but I do not believe that administrators can continue to plead innocence in the face of the facts, the virtually nonexistent procedure, and the condemnation in the media and by students and faculty. Brandeis has made a terrible mess here. It is time to clean it up.”
The story is an old one heard all around the country in universities that lack proper oversight of their zealous administrations and faculty… the persecution of innocents, the punishment of constitutionally protected free speech and the closing of the American Academic Mind.
Brandeis University is not alone in their ruthlessness… but they are guilty none-the-less.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder in Berkeley… their City Council decided to make a grand stand against the Military. Oh, it might have gotten a series of chuckles … I think I will just drive on by from now on. Here’s what their mayor had to say:
“I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don’t belong here, they shouldn’t have come here, and they should leave,” said Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates ….
