There is a much smaller difference between rioting and the use of eminent domain then the politicians want you believe.
This is why half of Canada is on fire
A fortified macaroni and cheese 🧀
With winter coming, I’ve been thinking about some of my favorite comfort foods, but made in ways with less calories that are more filling, more tasty and nutrient dense. One meal I’m envisioning is a healthier macaroni and cheese that quickly fills one up without needing such excessive portions. The key has to be to add more fiber and lean protein along with the right spices.
Some ideas I have:
- Whole wheat pasta or lentil pasta
- A minimum of two lb of spinach, so at least a 2 to one ratio to the pasta for lots of fiber
- Tomatoes run through the food processor with Italian spices
- Onions
- Hot peppers to make you fill full quickly
- Lentils, maybe peas or white beans as a protein source
- Good quality cheddar shredded and skim milk hardened with corn starch
- Zero fat cottage cheese in the cheese mixture for proteins
- Corn starch mixed with parmesan cheese for a topping, cooked in the broiler
- The right mixture of seasonings
With all this, is it still macaroni and cheese? It’s debatable but it could be delicious food and nutrient dense while still providing the pleasure of macaroni and cheese.
Digital Terrain Models
Lately I have been experimenting with digital terrain models extracted from the LIDAR point cloud. It allows me to measure the height of buildings and tree cover and can be used for better 3d modeling.
Traffic Counts – Saranac Lake
Traffic is heaviest going between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, along with heading up to the hospital in Lake Colby. While traffic is delayed with the lights downtown, there is actually less volume downtown as people often take side streets.
Yummy. Hot pie sundae.
