Catfish...yes they eat poop in the wild

I have a catfish specific obsession. I grew up spending my summers on the Mississippi River where plenty of people eat the dirty ass cat fish that comes from the Muddy Mississippi, BUT my mother was a proper east coast woman and she drilled it into my head that catfish are dirty because they eat poop therefore I should steer clear. It wasn't until I was much older that I figured out that most of the cat fish served at restaurants (versus random shacks on the side of the Great River Road...it's in Illinois) are farm raised therefore they are eating plenty of shit, but just not literal shit (or at least here's to hoping). Anyway, I LOVE catfish!

Last weekend, Kyle and I went to our favorite Burmese food restaurant, Mandalay Restaurant and Cafe...and by favorite, I mean the only one we've been to, but it is delicious. You can order food from mild to spicy to so spicy that you want to die. I am usually an extremely adventurous eater, but every time I go to Mandalay I order the "Sea Food Number 2". I feel like such a tool ordering the same thing time after time, but I LOVE it. The dish contains pieces of catfish lightly fried then mixed with a thick and spicy tomato based sauce and sauteed peppers and onions. The fish has a lightly crunchy outer layer and inside it's flaky and moist. I order it "spicy" because I like to punish my ass, but you can order the dish at any level of spice.

Mandalay also has a ton of great vegan entrees. They even have two vegan desserts which are both incredible...sticky rice made with coconut milk and brown sugar as well as rich and creamy coconut milk ice cream.

  2. The gods tempt people for which they are most weak. Artificial Intelligence will create desire in people's minds for the following sins:::
    1. Alcohol
    2. Drugs
    3. Preditory "earning"
    4. Homosexuality
    5. Gambling
    6. Something for nothing/irresponsibility (xtianity)
    7. Polygamy/superiority over women/misogyny (Islam)
    Much like the other prophets Mohhamed (polygamy/superiority over women/misogyny) and Jesus (forgiveness/savior), the gods use me for temptation as well. In today's modern society they feel people are most weak for popular culture/sensationalism, and the clues date back to WorldWarII and Unit731:TSUSHOGO.
    It has been discussed that, similar to the Matrix concept, the gods will offer a REAL "Second Coming of Christ", while the "fake" Second Coming will come at the end and follow New Testiment scripture and their xtian positioning. I may be that real Second Coming.
    What I teach is the god's true way. It is what is expected of people, and only those who follow this truth will be eligible to ascend into heaven as children in a future life. They offered this event because the masses have just enough time to work on and fix their relationship with the gods and ascend, to move and grow past Planet Earth, before the obligatory xtian "consolation prize" of "1000 years with Jesus on Earth" begins.

    Your job as a future mother is to learn the god's ways and to help your child understand despite the negative reinforcement and conditioning of today's society. Without consciousous parents the child will have no hope, and may even exaserbate their disfavor by becoming corrupted in today's environment.
    Your ultimate goal is to fix your relationship wiith the gods and move on. You don't want to be comfortable here, and the changes in Western society in the last 100 years has achieved just that.
    1000 years with Jesus is the consolation prize. Don't be deceived into thinking that is the goal.

    The Prince of Darkness, battling the gods over the souls of the Damned.
    It is the gods who have created this environment and led people into Damnation with temptation. The god's positioning proves they work to prevent people's understanding.
    How often is xtian dogma wrong? Expect it is about the Lucifer issue as well.
    The fallen god, fighting for justice for the disfavored, banished to Earth as the fallen angel?
    I believe much as the Noah's Flood event, the end of the world will be initiated by revelry among the people. It will be positioned to be sanctioned by the gods and led for "1000 years with Jesus on Earth".
    In light of modern developments this can entail many pleasures:::Medicine "cures" aging, the "manufacture" of incredible beauty via cloning as sex slaves, free (synthetic) cocaine, etc.
    Somewhere during the 1000 years the party will start to "die off", literally. Only those who maintain chaste, pure lifestyles will survive the 1000 years. They will be the candidates used to (re)colonize (the next) Planet Earth, condemned to relive the misery experienced by the peasantry during Planet Earth's history due to their failure to ascend into heaven before the Apocalypse.
    If this concept of Lucifer is true another role of this individual may be to initiate disfavor and temptation among this new poulation, the proverbial "apple" of this Garden of Eden. A crucial element in the history of any planet, he begins the process of deterioration and decay that leads civilizations to where Planet Earth remains today.
    1000 years with Jesus is the consolation prize. Don't be deceived into thinking that is the goal.

    Only children go to heaven. By the time you hit puberty it is too late. This is charecteristic of the gods:::Once you realize what you have lost it is too late.
    Now you are faced with a lifetime to work and prepare for your next chance. Too many will waste this time, getting stoned, "Hiking!", working, etc.
