"This makes me want to watch me some
Gilligan's Island.
My mom wouldn't let us watch Gilligan's Island.
She said it was "trash".
She was right, but that was the point,
at least to me it was.
I used to go watch it over at John Rooney's house.
He became an Apache helicopter pilot.
Then he was sent to the 1st Gulf War.
That must have sucked.
Probably still does.
I bet he got sent back for #2.
He was young enough.
Poor fucker."

Baked Coconut Shrimps
Servings: 12 Muffins
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
- 6 tablespoons plain panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 pound large (21/25 count) shrimp, peeled (tails left on), deveined, butterflied and patted dry
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Dipping Sauce:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon curry powder
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 orange, zested and juiced
Directions
To make the dipping sauce: Toast the curry and red pepper flakes in a saucepan over medium heat, about 1 minute. Add the honey, vinegar and orange juice and zest. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
To make the shrimp: Combine the coconut, panko and flour in a bowl or baking dish. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl until slightly frothy. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the egg whites and toss to coat. Lift each shrimp from the egg whites, letting the excess drip off the shrimp, and then coat in the crumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Place the shrimp on the baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with nonstick spray. Bake until the shrimp are golden on the outside and opaque in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with the dipping sauce.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

I proverbi intorno alla Zangola
and Sayings about the Butter Churn...
"For the churning of milk produces butter,
and pressing the nose brings forth blood;
so the churning of anger produces strife."
and pressing the nose brings forth blood;
so the churning of anger produces strife."
❖
“A quarrel is like buttermilk, once it's out of the churn;
the more you shake it, the more sour it grows”
❖
“The churning separates the butter from the milk.
In the same manner, through cosmic processes
and upheavals of heat and cold,
the Five Fundamental Elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space)
were separated and Earth,
this Ball of Butter, emerged as the product of the churning.
If any person or thing has one of the three character-traits
(balanced, passionate, dull) predominant in the makeup,
we denote him as having that trait.”

“During the day-time, Violet chiefly occupied herself in putting salt-water into a churn,
while her three brothers churned it violently, in the hope that it would turn into butter,
which it seldom, if ever did....”
