Pam’s Bread Custard Pudding

September 1, 2010 - "Pam’s Bread Custard Pudding" By Joseph Parish. When my wife makes us fresh baked bread on a daily basis we often discover that it is too much for a family of three to eat. As such it only makes good cost effective sense to find alternate methods in which to utilize this left over bread. Generally our freshly prepared bread will be usable for its anticipated purpose for a period of several days after it has been made, however beyond that time frame it slowly begins to deteriorate and get stale.

A Matter of Benjamin’s

August 31, 2010 - "A Matter of Benjamin’s" By Joseph Parish. When hurricane Katrina assaulted the city of New Orleans there can be no doubt that along with the large scale destruction laid in its path, a greater moral disaster was becoming evident.

This crisis not only generated enormous amounts of damage to property but ultimately affected the lives of many low income people. These inhabitants of the “Big Easy” were not merely displaced by this phenomenon but literally uprooted from their homes to be eventually forgotten. Click here

Plain text language would often reveal your intentions to any evil doer that may want your supplies or even worse to harm your loved ones. In place of that my family and I have devised a series of code words which indicate certain actions that should be accomplished immediately. Click here

World War III

August 30, 2010 - "World War III" World War III is a thought provoking look at an alternate ending of the Cold War. Compiled largely from TV news pictures and military videos from the period, World War III cleverly combines this footage in a convincing manner to give the illusion that what is depicted actually took place. A bit dated but still very much relevant. Click here
