Notes from The Wulf

Greatness is not a destination, but a journey. What do you do for your family, career or community that you’re most proud of?

I find it highly amusing that this quote appears today, the day I decide to make my reappearance in the bloggosphere properly. Perhaps this is my synchronicity powers working again. I certainly seem to be more in tune with the universe as a whole lately.

What am I most proud of that I do? I understand most fully the implications of living as part of a greater whole, and realize that everybody has within them an ability, a power, a spark of divinity or trace blood of mythic heroes, and because of this they also have the responsibility to live up to the same standards we imagine in our role models, both real and fictional. 

The synchronicity here is that I have only just recently restated my purpose in life: exploring the magic of stories as inspiration for real world heroes and role-models throughout time and space in order to learn the best ways to inspire greatness in those around me, starting with my family and clan, and through them the rest of the world.

Curried Meat Pies
makes 8 pies. Cost: $16

1 lb Ground meat (lamb for me)
3 medium yellow onions, diced
1/2 cup frozen snow peas
1/2 cup turnips, diced
2-3 T  freshly ground Curry powder (I used World Spice Market Capetown Masala)
1 t Sea salt
1 T cooking oil
Cayenne pepper (optional)

2 pkg Pillsbury Pastry dough, thawed

Preheat oven to 425

Saute onions in oil in large skillet until clear, add Curry, half salt, and continue to saute until onions start to brown.

Brown meat separately in medium skillet, stirring constantly to get a fine, even size to the ground meat. Once the meat is hot enough to drain off the fat,  then add meat, and additional salt, to the curry pan and continue to brown. Add turnips and peas and cook until peas are bright green. At this point the meat is cooked and you can taste it to see if more salt or spice needs to be added.

On a lightly floured surface, unfold one pastry shell and cut into halves. Pastry dough may be stretched to desired size or shape, but too thin will not support a full meat filling. If the dough tears, dampen with a drop of water and press together.

Spoon the filling into the halves and fold in any artistic manner you desire. Press dough edges together with a fork and place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 12 minutes.

New camera sunset

My father bought me a new digital camera for my birthday. It arrived a day late to go with me out to the Peninsula on Wednesday (a post I have yet to finish), but I did take it out for a spin yesterday on my lunch break. I still need to buy a memory card for it--Sony moved to much smaller MemorySticks since my last camera was made. This is a Sony

W80-front-angled

I promise more photos, sunsets, and something from my trip to the beach and Cape Flattery soon.

It is the duty of the living to honor the memories of those that go before us.

There is a very nice piece on Howard on CMU's alumni site.

I had two more interviews towards Full Time Employment at Zillow.com today. One was with the head of the Windows IT guys, who said mostly fabulous things about me and that he was very Pro-Wulf for hiring me. The second was with my Boss and he just asked me what the others asked and how I answered. There were no technical questions during the process at all.
The next step I believe is to be offered full-time wages and benefits, which will either be good or not.

I should also meet this week with my Comsys representative--this is the company through which I have been contracting since my arrival in the City on the Edge of the Future. If for some wild, unexpected reason the FTE does not work out they will be my next best line on employment.
