2 part blog: 1) tamales and 2) VOY: waterloo

1) today was the most heavely scent, a young betazoid such as myself, has even smelt. smelled like cabrito roasting on an open fire...could have been hog for all i know..yuck!

anyways, for the mexican-americans and mexicans outthere, winter/christmas [or church fundrasiers] usally signals the "culling"..."culling" as in a million old ladies invading the local grocery store for tamale "supplies". such as corn husks, maza, hog/beef lard, pork/chicken/beef meat, beans, cinnimon [for the dessert tamelas], catus [thats for the mega mexicans in the mountains], etc. i dont like tamelas...never have never will...the process of making them is a pain. cooking meat, making maza [u can buy it already made], rolling the dough with the filling, putting filling in corn husks, steaming product...BIG PAIN, BIG MESS. GREASE STICKS,  I CALL THEM.

short story: once when i was a kid, i went to the backyard to play with the dog, and u know wht he was doing? eating a steamed hog head. :o the head had been steamed and the skin pealed to make the tamale. some of the meat remained, along with the eyes. he was vigously eating the thing, and when he saw me, jumped, and started defending his hog head. he just gnawed at the skull, and ignored me all together...typical. waterloo

2)ok...i "fled" work at lunch and came home to keep watching VOY. i already knew b'elenna and tom had a kid from reading the info pages at the trek site and here. no offense, but tom looks like he ani't hauling anything under the hood...so how did b'ellena get pregnant, again? :roll: i bet worf did it...

VOY's take on the nazis was the most boring piece of garbage i have ever seen...honest to god, who wrote that episode?! the holodock stuff was cool, but the action outside the hd was crappola to the 10. tom paris dressed a nazi officer--LOL! tuvok has this Issac from love boat kinda thing going on, and note to 7, STOP SINGING!! I'D RATHER SUFFER THREW LWAXANA IN HEAT THEN HAVE TO HEAR 7 SINGING.

very similar to the ENT nazi stuff..but ENT carried the whole nazi/time travel thing a whole lot better.

btw, who's idea was it to have nazis in trek in the 1st place? i kinda wonder if anyone was offended...i'm not, but just wondering. is it tradion now or wht?!
