    • RE: Russian Cherry Teacakes

      It must be a great thing for dinner! Thanks for sharing it!

      @Satoshi:

      Ingredients
      1 cup unsalted butter
      1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for rolling
      1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
      1/4 teaspoon salt
      3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
      1/2 cup candied glace cherries, chopped
      Directions

      Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla thoroughly. Sift together the flour and salt, add to the butter, and mix. Fold in the nuts and cherries and chill the dough for 1 hour.

      Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

      Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet (they do not spread as they bake). Bake until set but do not brown, about 10 minutes.

      While still warm but set, roll the cookies in confectioners' sugar and cool. Roll in confectioners' sugar again and bake again for 10 to 12 minutes. 🙂

    • RE: Gay men and politics view

      Well, I agree that politics is complicated, but it is not so evil. At least it is about governing, organizing, and administrative stuff. Not every man is so innocent and self discipline that we don't need any authority. We have criminals, bad guys, or at least we need some people to start building railways and roads!

      @thomas261989:

      Are Derek and I the only who care about politics here?

      No - but i think the truth about Politics is so complex , many people have difficulty formulating ideas about their feelings or their knowledge about it…..

      I think politics is a necessary evil -
      I think politics is corrupt - power is corrupting and you can never get away from that.
      I think politics is a cultural contradicition - On the one hand it is the hand that wields so much horror and misery but on the other it is the vehicle by which humans gain their worldly hopes and freedoms and by which human history progressess through time.

      I think it's healthy for an individual to work out a personal relationship to ethics, but i acknowledge that people are loyal to abstract and spiritual positions often via  deep and irrational impulses rather than well thought through logical notions. This is why i love an ethically thoughtful man - i see it as the sign of a real 'man' - how he handles ethics. I also think the mysterious,deep and illogical exists in life - and not all things can be broken down to ethical and politically framed ideas.

      I think all moral choices are best considered via one of politcal ethics. I think that approach shows an awareness and consideration of other people at it's  best and also an awareness of the implication of human behaviour and events and that to me is the mark of wisdom.
