kafe from Bosnia

This afternoon I broke out the kafe set, and decided to take my first try at Bosnian kafe

I called my friend Mark… and the process has begun… the first cup wasn’t quite right, the second cup (which had set longer in the grounds) was better… I did discover the necessity of getting a little bit of grounds with the sip… ahhhhh… more posts I’m sure… click here to see the pix from the FEB07 trip.

Obama ‘gets’ Jefferson

Obama states…

“Many of the leading lights of the Revolution, most notably Franklin and Jefferson, were deists who–while believing in an Almighty God–questioned not only the dogmas of the Christian church but the central tenets of Christianity itself (including Christ’s divinity). Jefferson and Madison in particular argued for what Jefferson called a “wall of seperation” between church and state, as a means of protecting individual liberty in religious belief and practice, guarding the state against sectarian strife, and defending organized religion against the state’s encroachment or undue influence.” (p. 217)
