Peas: Mash into thin sheet on a plate. Press back of fork into peas, hold fork vertically, prongs up, and lick off peas.
Mashed Potatoes: Pat mashed potatoes flat on top. Dig several little depressions. Think of them as ponds or pools. Fill pools with gravy. With fork, sculpt rivers between them. Decorate with peas. Do not eat. Alternate method: Make a large hole in center of mashed potatoes. Pour in ketchup. Stir until potatoes turn pink. Eat as you would peas.
Sandwich: Leave the crusts. If your mother says you have to eat them because that’s the best part, stuff them into your pocket or between the cushions of the couch.
Spaghetti: Wind too many strands on fork and make sure at least two strands dangle down. Open mouth wide and stuff in spaghetti; suck noisily to inhale dangling strands. Clean plate, ask for seconds, and eat only half. When carrying plate to kitchen, hold tilted so that remaining spaghetti slides onto the floor.
Ice Cream Cone: Ask for double scoop. Knock the top scoop off while walking out the door of the ice cream parlor. Cry. Lick remaining scoop slowly so that ice cream melts down outside of the cone and over your hand. Stop licking when ice cream is even with top of cone. Eat a hole in bottom of cone and suck the rest of ice cream out of the bottom. When only cone remains with ice cream coating inside, leave cone on car dashboard.
Spinach: Divide into little piles. Rearrange into new piles. After five or six maneuvers, sit back and say you are full.
Chocolate Chip Cookies: Half-sit, half-lie on bed, propped up by pillow. Read a book. Place cookies next to you on sheet so that crumbs get in bed. As you eat the cookies, remove each chocolate chip and place it on your stomach. When all cookies are consumed, eat chips one by one, allowing two per page.
Milkshake: Bite off end of paper covering straw. Blow through straw to shoot paper across the table. Place straw in shake and suck. When shake just reaches your mouth, place a finger over top of straw - the pressure will keep the shake in straw. Lift straw out of shake, put bottom end in mouth, release finger, and swallow. Do this until straw is squashed so you can’t suck through it. Ask for another straw. This time shoot paper at the waitress or waiter when they aren’t looking. Sip your shake casually until there is about an inch of shake remaining. Then blow through straw until bubbles rise to top of glass. When your father says he’s had just about enough, get a stomach ache.

- 1/2 tbsp sesame seed oil
- 1/3 cup mirin
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- 4 trout fillets
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Preheat the broiler. Wrap a broiler pan with aluminum foil.
Mix sesame seed oil, mirin and teriyaki sauce in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue boiling over medium heat until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup (7-10 minutes). The mixture will thicken slightly and become syrupy.
Season fillets with salt on both sides. Brush both sides lightly with teriyaki glaze and place fillets in a broiler pan, skin side down. Use glaze very sparingly as it can burn under the broiler. Sprinkle sesame seeds over trout fillets.
Broil for 4 minutes. Check to see if the trout flakes in the thickest part by inserting a fork or knife between the flakes. If not done, return the trout to the oven (but not under the broiler) for another minute.
Bring the remaining glaze to a simmer and brush over trout fillets. Then serve with your favourite salad or other side dish

Cry of a Tiny Babe ~Bruce Cockburn
Mary grows a child without the help of a man
Joseph get upset because he doesn’t understand
Angel comes to Joseph in a powerful dream
Says “God did this and you’re part of his scheme”
Joseph comes to Mary with his hat in his hand
Says “forgive me I thought you’d been with some other man”
She says “what if I had been - but I wasn’t anyway and guess what
I felt the baby kick today”
Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe
The child is born in the fullness of time
Three wise astrologers take note of the signs
Come to pay their respects to the fragile little king
Get pretty close to wrecking everything
‘Cause the governing body of the Holy land
Is that of Herod, a paranoid man
Who when he hears there’s a baby born King of the Jews
Sends death squads to kill all male children under two
But that same bright angel warns the parents in a dream
And they head out for the border and get away clean
Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe
There are others who know about this miracle birth
The humblest of people catch a glimpse of their worth
For it isn’t to the palace that the Christ child comes
But to shepherds and street people, hookers and bums
And the message is clear if you have ears to hear
That forgiveness is given for your guilt and your fear
It’s a Christmas gift that you don’t have to buy
There’s a future shining in a baby’s eyes
Like a stone on the surface of a still river
Driving the ripples on forever
Redemption rips through the surface of time
In the cry of a tiny babe

Basil is an herb in the mint family. It is often regarded as the “king of herbs” due not only to the fact that its name comes from the Greek word for “king,” but due to its versatility.
