Yummy Chicken Soup with Coconut Milk

Here is a yummy recipe for a simple delicous chicken soup, invented by the Master Chef my very own DH.

1 medium onion, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
some fresh chopped ginger
some spring onion
2 pound chicken breast, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
2 cans coconut milk (a 400ml)
some basil leaves, chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms

Heat oil, add onion, ginger, spring onion, fry a few minutes.
Add chicken, slightly brown from all sides.
Add salt, pepper, stir, add mushrooms, fry a few more minutes.
Add cocnut milk and 1 cup water.
Cook for 30 minutes or so.

Done! Add more spices or dried basil or just enjoy as is!
On top of cooked rice is best...

Believing in evolution

Believing in evolution? I imagine fundies asking me that question and what I would answer. Well, I just read an answer of somebody else. Mine would have been similar to this:
"I don't really care for the word 'belief,'" said Edwin Kain, a
Northern Kentucky lawyer who has defended atheist clients. "People say
do I believe in evolution? It's not something to be believed in, it's
something to be learned. Like the multiplication table. Do you believe
in the multiplication table, or do you use it, do you learn it?"

Christmas / Winter Solstice

Christmas went over fast. I hope to get rid of the Santa story next year. It hurts to tell lies to Lucas. Didn't help with behaviour either. Amazing how the kids believe everything you (and TV and..) say. I want them to develop their knowledge and rational thinking before(instead) brainwashing gets to them. Lucas tries to understand his world and I want to make use of that. I got him a set of 3 books for his birthday: Big Bang, Development of Life and Evolution of humans. Looking forward to read these with him. He had these questions the other day, and I want to create a good base. Like they say: Share your beliefs and knowledge, or they will get it from somewhere else.

Are science and religion orthogonal or contradicting? If the first, I might be one-dimensional...
