update with pears
May. 3rd, 2006 03:50 pmSo, last night I marinated some chicken in orange juice, tamari, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper, then put it in a cast iron pan with olive oil under it and a sliced-up pear on top of it, put a lid on the pan and cooked it over a low-med heat for just under 20 minutes. And it was delicious. I'm a genius.

Still not a lot of writing getting done, but notes and more notes, and the pot's starting to simmer.
My sister sent me the following. I'm too lazy to check the archive and make sure it's true, but it's a good story. Though it's also the kind of story that makes me sad, 'cause the natural world is taking such a serious beating from humanity.
Front page story from the San Francisco Chronicle on December 14, 2005, about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a web of crap traps and lines. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farralone Islands and radioed an environmental group for help.
Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her, a very dangerous proposition. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually liberated her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them and pushed them gently around.
Some said it was the most ingredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
