RECEIPE: Caribbean Dry Fish w/ vegetables

Dry fish is one of the many popular dishes circulating in the Caribbeans.....

First, when you catch or purchase your full fish.....you want to split it from head to tail.....Then you want to clean out the insides.....Then you preserve the fish by covering it with salt.....Not so heavy that it will build up.....just enough to see that the two halves are covered in salt.....Then comes the tricky part.....Let it sit outside for a day or two( depending on the temperature).....if its 90 degrees or more.....a day will be fine.....the purpose is to dry out the fish.....

After that process.....you then wash as much salt off as you can......then proceed to boil the rest of the salt off.....After about 10 minutes, take out the fish and put it with your vegetables to cook.....Some Caribbeans put the fish inside of spinach and cook it with the vegetables.....The fish will be so tender that you can break it up and mix it in with your vegetables.....Tomatoes are recommended for a nice blend of tastes.

A mere eight days after Inauguration Day, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the events heralded a new era. "The ship of state is difficult to turn," said the California Democrat. "But that is what we must do. That is what President Obama called us to do in his inaugural address."

THE SISTINE CHAPEL


The Sistine chapel ceiling frescoe is well-known amongst the religious and spiritual faithfuls.It has been interpreted by many as the painting of Adam and God, painted by Michelangelo, this extravagant piece of art illustrates the hand of God giving life to Adam or does it?

If you take a good look at the painting you will notice that the part that contains God and the angels is really a painting of a brain that contains the images of God and the angels. Can this be so? Could Michelangelo be telling us something thru his painting? Look at it very closely and you will see the border that surrounds God and the angels is a brain outline. Could that be the reason why Adam and God's finger are not touching?
