Great game today!

Got my footie fix today! I got to watch the Inter Milano-Manchester United game at my parents house on their big screen HD TV. Hell of a game it was too...
Inter were really off the first half, and Manchester United clearly dominated. Man Utd missed some key opportunities in the first half, but Cesar was there to meet all the valid challenges brilliantly.
Everything turned around in the second half and Inter came out on the attack, finally giving Van der Saar something to do other than sit back and twiddle his thumbs. Man Utd seemed a little spent during the second half, but they showed some bursts of brilliance, just none able to make it through to the goal.
Ronaldo was on fire the first half but missed some key chances in both the first and the second halves - not that Cesar ever let up for a second on those that were on the mark. Rooney didn't come in until about 10 minutes remaining in the game, but Park, who he replaced, was hard on the attack the whole game.
Final score: 0-0 with another match-up between these two coming in 15 days at Old Trafford. The pressure's on.....

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

Image
So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right? But I mentioned that really the only way I like cooked cabbage - other than in the form of saurkraut over some bratwurst - is the cabbage rolls my mom makes. She dug out the recipe, so that had to go on the menu. This particular recipe I don't claim as my own, or even my mother's. She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

Image
I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but
