Calvatia gigantaea!

Found six of them in my little outdoor mushroom nook where I'm trying to cultivate shiitake and maitake. The smallest was about fist sized and the largest was about a foot in diameter and about 5 pounds!

Fried them in olive oil last night for supper... added a touch of salt and some freshly ground pepper, yum! After they started to cool off, the smell and taste of the olive oil got a bit obnoxious so I didn't finish them all off. They have the consistency of fried tofu and a mild mushroom-y taste. I think if/when some more pop up, going to fry them in (much less) butter, put them on a bed of rice with a little soy sauce and maybe some fresh veggies (snap peas, broccoli, baby corn, carrots, hmm...) on the side too.

Religiosity and teenage pregnancy rates... why?

Religiosity and teen birth rate in the United States

I commented on this at Subrealism and wanted to edit and share more widely...

I would call it child abuse. They would do as genetically programmed beings and explore the world, and, as teenagers, live riskily. Rather than learn the loveliness of their' or anothers' body, they learn shame. Instead of discovering and satiating their passion and desire, they starve for love. Then, these half-born humans mold the newly emergent beings into the same deformed, crippled creatures that they are.
