Definitions of cooking terms

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:57:09 -0500

(These are from my brother-in-law, Bob Ekstrom, in Pitt, MN [Ed: He lies. These are from ``Cooking: A Cook's Dictionary,'' by Beard and McKie]

tongue: A variety of meat, rarely served because it clearly crosses the line between a cut of beef and a piece of dead cow.

yogurt: Semi-solid dairy product made from partially evaporated and fermented milk. Yogurt is one of only three foods that taste exactly the same as they sound. The other two are goulash and squid.

recipe: A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't own, to make a dish the dog won't eat the rest of.

porridge: Thick oatmeal rarely found on American tables since children were granted the right to sue their parents. The name is an amalgamation of the words "Putrid," "hORRId" and "sluDGE."

preheat: To turn on the heat in an oven for a period of time before cooking a dish, so that the fingers may be burned when the food is put in, as well as when it is removed.

oven: Compact home incinerator used for disposing of bulky pieces of meat and poultry.

microwave oven: Space-age kitchen appliance that uses the principle of radar to locate and immediately destroy any food placed within the cooking compartment.

calorie: Basic measure of the amount of rationalization offered by the average individual prior to taking a second helping of a particular food.

arab coffee: Thick, black, bitter coffee, traditionally served in tiny cups at gunpoint.

Mr. Sizya Lubuva of Kinondomi, Dar es Salaam

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:56:07 -0500

Speaking for the whole company, Mr. Sizya Lubuva of Kinondomi, Dar es Salaam,
said: "A number of us were having a conference about the future of the village
as a tourist center when Mr. Nuugu Tabara said he would climb up the palm under
which we were sitting to get some coconut milk for us. No sooner had he
climbed the tree, than he was attacked by a huge Indian crow and fell down
onto the roof of Mr. Malinjoo's Ford Fiesta. There is no truth to the
suggestion that we were boozing away our time on komoni, although I agree
coconut milk is one its ingredients. Everyone knows how dangerous those crows
are. They will snatch food off your plate, and last week they stole three
bedsheets and a loudspeaker from my sister's house."

Is Safari just Whities Playing at the Old Colonial Days?

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:53:41 -0500

The safari industry in Tanzania created a completely fake "traditional" environment for the Wazungu (white faces) who want to trek the big five, yet with a high degree of comfort and safety. Luxury lodges are scattered within all parks and protected areas charging inclredible rates which can reach more than 1000 bucks per day. Most of the money goes directly to Jo'burg or to UK where the safari companies are based and the local communities get nothing more than peanuts. "Real" maasai warriors are paid to dance around the fireplace at sunset and welcoming, smiling staff (hoping for tips) is ready to greet you every time they see you and to ask "so sir, what did you see today?". The worst thing is just that, people in Tanzania tend to represent themselves the way they think the hordes of tourists expect to see them. The craziest thing is that these wazungu wajinga really believe they're experiencing real Africa, just like the fat farangs packed in the gogo bars believe they've found true love in patpong! What do you think? Mnasemaje?

Watanzania tuacheni kuangalia mambo kwa kufuata dini. Huu si uungwana.

Watu wanatakiwa wateuliwe kwa kuangalia sifa zao. Hao jamaa hapo hakuna aliyeibuliwa kutoka kusikojulikana kama ilivyokuwa kwenye nafasi zingine hapo nyuma. Tuwe wakweli na tukubali kwamba kwa sababu za kihistoria tu, maeneo mengi nchini yenye shule ni yale yenye makanisa. Kadri nchi inavyosonga mbele ndivyo mambo yanavyojipanga kwa usawa. Si vizuri kulalamika. Wamishonari Wazungu walipokuja walijenga makanisa, hospitali na shule; Waarabu walijenga misikiti na maduka; hii imeathiri muundo wa taifa letu. Sidhani kama unaweza kulinganisha mathalani jinsi Uchagani kwa Wahaya kulivyo na mahali kama Kilwa Masoko au Kilwa Kivinje, hata mkoa wa Pwani, ukiondoa shule chache za serikali, zilizobaki zilijengwa na mapadri. Tukubali historia, tuache kulalama kwani hata viongozi wetu wa kwanza wa taifa karibu wote walisoma shule za Wazungu Wakristo.

Hakuna anayetuonea Waislamu, na ndiyo maana Nyerere alitaifisha shule za Wakristo ili Waislamu nasi tusome. Muulizeni Yusuf Makamba alisoma wapi, mwenyewe anasema kama si Wakristo asingefika hapo alipo. JK mwenyewe alisoma shule za Wakatoliki awali na alishawahi kusema hadharani.

Tujengeni taifa letu kwa misingi ya utu na maendeleo na umoja, tuache kabisa huu wimbo wa udini. Hakuna hata mtu mmoja atakayefaidika na vita vya kidini au mgogoro wa kidini. Tukomae, Tanzania hii ilijengwa na Nyerere na Karume bila kubaguana, tusiibadilishe.

Michuzi naomba uweke, mimi ni Mwislamu, lakini inabidi kuelezana ukweli. Tusiharibu nchi hata kidogo.

Your opinion on 2009/10 Budget

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:51:12 -0500

Despite the Parliament endorsing the 2009/2010 budget by a principle of simple majority this week in Dodoma opposition Members of Parliament have explained why their camp rejected the estimates.

On Sunday we learnt that the opposition unanimously voted against the budget after realising that it had a lot of “loopholes” that the government failed to explain how they would be plugged.

The Opposition camp had forwarded an alternative budget, which according to our sources, was ignored by the government side.

Instead it simply responded to the opposition by saying it would look at it and see if there was anything to borrow from it.

In their “shadow budget”, the opposition blamed the government for over-dependence on donors and support from foreign countries to fund most of the development activities without showing any serious measures for sourcing government funds internally.

In the 2009/2010 budget, the government expects to receive Sh 3.2 trillion from donors; much more from the Sh 2.8 tr it has alocated for development expenditure in the same period.

According to the leader of the opposition in parliament, Hamad Mohamed Rashid, the government does not pay for development projects in the country and instead shows too much dependency on donors.

“It is a shame that the country still relies on donors to fund its development expenditure, 48 years since we got independence. The government ought to be independent, and donors only come in to subsidise” said Rashid.

The opposition leader said his camp was uncomfortable with the government’s move to allow tax exemptions on the mining sector and fisheries, as well as forest products, despite reports that the government can get between 20 and 25 per cent of the GDP through taxation.

He said it is estimated that the government loses $ 50 million every year in revenue from the mining sector and another $ 58 million from the forestry department, adding that China imports ten times of forest products from Tanzania than what the government records show.

The Wawi member of parliament said the government has failed to clearly show how it would improve its revenue by avoiding tax exemption.

He said the opposition camp was not pleased with the government`s failure to solicit revenue from the mining sector, and instead allowed companies with old contacts to enjoy the exemption and only wants to restrict new companies.

Rashid said the parliament authorized the government to implement recommendations of the Bomani commission, but had apparently failed.

On a different note, the opposition argues that the Sh 1.7 tr bailout plan was not clearly indicated in the budget.

Rashid said the Economic and Finance committee advised the minister for Finance and Economic Affairs, Mustafa Mkulo, to include the amount in the budget, but he failed.

He said the government was supposed to bail out farmers who suffered losses due to the global financial crisis as it happens in other countries, adding that in most countries, such processes are very transparent.

The Karatu member of Parliament, Wilbrod Slaa, on his part faulted the biudget saying; “ We are tired of these rhetorical budget speeches every year; in fact the minister failed to show how the government will source money to fund its projects.”

He said the ‘Agriculture First’ slogan does not fit well in the budget, arguing that the government has allocated only seven per cent of this year’s budget to agriculture compared to the 7.1 per cent alocated for the same sector in the 2008/2009 budget.

The outspoken MP said the government failed to list the number of companies and financial institutions that would benefit from the stimulus package set a side by the government.

Slaa said, “ We have information that several companies have lined up to benefit through the stimulus package, in fact this was done much earlier, even before the government made the plan public.”

The legislator added that the government was supposed to have carried out a thorough investigation to reveal the number of companies affected in the crisis and by how much were they affected, rather than just coming up with the issue.

He added that the opposition could not just endorse such a vague plan that would rekindle the pains caused by the EPA scandal that saw billions of public funds swindled by some few people.

Dr Slaa also said the opposition camp could not pass the budget as the minister endorsed payment of EPA money last year, contrary to what the president told the parliament -- that the government would not effect any more payments through that account.

He noted that the opposition was not pleased with the mismanagent of public money at this time of crisis, saying the Sh 19 bn that is allocated for allowance in kind could have been set a side for other important development projects.

Slaa said not even their CCM counterparts could easily endorse such a “lousy” budget. He alleged that members of the ruling party during their inner meeting were forced to support the budget, knowing that blocking its passage could prompt dissolution of parliament.

He blamed Section of 99 of the constituthion, saying the section does not allow CCM members freedom to exercise their right.

He said it make those in authority to force their agenda to pass through for fear that if they fail, the parliament could be dissolved.

The Bariadi MP, John Cheyo, told this paper that the government ought to put money in people’s pockets rather than rushing to rescue banks and cooperatives.

He said at leaat 10 milion people depend on cotton production, adding such people should be given first priority in the government’s agendas.

“Why is the government more concerned with the commercial institutions than the wananchi ?” he wondered, adding that it was not good for foreign firms to be compensated while local institutions lacked funds.

Cheyo said the government plans to bail out Artumas to produce electricy, and later sell to TANESCO at a higher cost instead of supporting the local power utility firm to produce the needed 220 megawatts.

Kikwete flags off joint EA military exercises

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:50:07 -0500

Amiri Jeshi Mkuu wa Majeshi ya Ulinzi na Usalama, Rais Jakaya Kikwete, ameyataka majeshi ya ulinzi katika nchi za Afrika Mashariki kuwa tayari kukabili tishio lolote la usalama na amani pamoja na kukabiliana na majanga katika nchi wanachama wa jumuiya hiyo.
Rais Kikwete aliyasema hayo wakati akizindua zoezi la kijeshi la majeshi ya ulinzi kutoka nchi za Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki lililopewa jina la 'Mlima Kilimanjaro' likiwa na lengo la kuyajengea majeshi hayo uwezo wa kukabiliana na ugaidi na majanga mbalimbali.
Alisema zoezi hilo ambalo limefadhiliwa na nchi wanachama wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki, ni kielelezo kuwa nchi hizo zinaweza kuendesha shughuli zao hata bila kusubiri nchi wafadhili.
"Tunawapongeza wanajeshi wetu kwa kazi nzuri mnayofanya, lakini ningeomba kwa unyenyekevu muendeleze moyo huo kwa ajili ya amani, usalama na utulivu katika jumuiya yetu ya Afrika Mashariki," alisema.
Alisema wataalam wa mambo ya amani na usalama katika Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki, wameshapanua mwelekeo wa shughuli za jeshi hadi kulinda amani, ukabilianaji wa majanga na kusaidia mamlaka za kiraia wakati wa matatizo.
Rais Kikwete alisema mabadiliko hayo yanaendana kabisa na mkataba unaounda Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki ambao unaweka maslahi ya watu na usalama katika ajenda za mchakato wa kuunganisha nchi tano katika jumuiya hiyo.
“Zoezi hili kimsingi lina maana ya kuyawezesha majeshi yetu kuelewa kwa kina mtizamo wetu wa pamoja na pia kuyaanda kutekeleza majukumu yao vizuri wakati wa uhitaji," alisema.
Hata hivyo, alisema zoezi hilo la pamoja la kijeshi linazungumza kwa mapana juu ya ushirikiano na mahusiano mazuri waliyonayo nchi tano zinazounda jumuiya hiyo.
“Mahusiano miongoni mwa nchi zetu ni mazuri. Kuna imani na kujiamini miongoni mwa nchi zetu na hali hiyo ndiyo iliyowezesha zoezi hili la pamoja la kijeshi," alisema.
Rais Kikwete ana imani kuwa zoezi hilo likienda vizuri, litafungua ukurasa mpya kwa majeshi ya ulinzi na usalama katika Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki kwani yatakuwa yanabadilishana utalaam, mbinu na medani za operesheni mbalimbali.
Kwa upande wake, Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki anayeshughulikia shirikisho la kisiasa, Beatrice Kiraso, alisema jumuiya hiyo inakabiliwa na matishio mengi yakiwemo ya uzaagaji ovyo wa silaha ndongo ndogo na nyepesi na kukosekana kwa utulivu wa kisiasa katika nchi zinazoizunguka Jumuiya.
“Matishio hayo ni kama vile ya majanga ya asili na yale yanayosababishwa na matendo ya binadamu, umaskini, magonjwa, mipaka mirefu, uzaagaji wa silaha, migogoro ya ndani kwa ndani na ukosefu wa amani katika nchi zinazotuzunguka," alisema Kiraso.
Alisisitiza umuhimu wa jumuiya hiyo kujenga uwezo wake yenyewe ya kuweza kukabiliana na dharura yeyote itakayojitokeza inayohatarisha amani, usalama na utulivu.
“Tukiweza hilo tutakuwa tumejenga mazingira mazuri kwa uwekezaji na mendeleo katika eneo la Jumuiya yetu ya Afrika Mashari," alisema.
Zoezi hilo ambalo litafikia kikomo Septemba 23, mwaka huu na linawashirikisha takriban wanajeshi 1,600 wa kutoka katika nchi tano wanachama wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki.

Mzungos vs Africans

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:48:56 -0500

Why do "mzungo's" who is born in Africa, who pay taxes, nssf always have to squabble over prices... What is the real meaning of mzungo... European, white person or a white person who is confused? When will the people learn, that if a reasonable price is asked he or she will earn more business in the long run than making a quick buck once off.

Will the people of Tanzania ever realize, that skin color does not make everybody a mzungo, but that Africans are black, yellow, white etc... or does the Tanzanians think that Africa only consist of one country...

Ferguson faces five-match ban

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:32:43 -0500

MANCHESTER United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, is facing a five-match ban. The Mail on Sunday says Ferguson's joy at returning to the top of the Premier League will be deflated today by an FA charge that could lead to Manchester United's manager being banned from the touchline for five matches.

Ferguson was smiling on Saturday night as United, pursuing a fourth successive championship, beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 at home to replace beaten Chelsea at the top of the table.

But the storm clouds are gathering, with key figures inside football determined that Sir Alex should not get away with his outburst against referee Alan Wiley, whom he branded as 'unfit' following United's 2-2 draw with Sunderland two weeks ago.

Such is the strength of feeling inside the Football Association that Ferguson faces a five-match ban, the heaviest punishment he has suffered in his 23 years at Old Trafford.

Liverpool close to sale, point deduction

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:28:58 -0500

LIVERPOOL flirted with financial meltdown last season, it has been revealed.

A 10-point league deduction, ending any hope of a title challenge. The sale of major assets such as Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Javier Mascherano.

A document actually nicknamed The Doomsday Book was prepared as Tom Hicks and George Gillett flirted with catastrophe last season.

It spelled out the consequences if the owners' failed to secure their £290million refinance deal, says the News of the World.

Unless the Americans sort out their differences and find investment before their next deadline, the threats will resurface.

That explains why the club has been working overtime to present a healthier financial picture over the last few months, citing the £80m shirt sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered as a major step forward.

It also explains the increased urgency to find investors.

Meanwhile, Manchester City was close to landing Liverpool ace, Fernando Torres last season, it has been revealed.

The News of the World says it was only because the Royal Bank of Scotland feared a massive backlash that Liverpool was able to reject a £70m bid from Manchester City for Torres.

The RBS feared a public backlash if it allowed one of the world's biggest clubs to go into administration.

Last year's winner, Cristiano Ronaldo is among the contenders again following his move to Real Madrid.

Ronaldo's former Manchester United team-mates, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic also make the shortlist.

Liverpool’s duo of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are also nominated along with Arsenal pair, Cesc Fabregas and Andrey Arshavin.

Chelsea trio, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba are also up for the award.

There is no single Italian player among the 30 nominees with the winner to be announced on December 1.

PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGY

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 09:49:00 -0500

Dear Beatrice,

I have been thinking to myself a lot lately over what went wrong and what makes me feel terribly awful. I have to accept that these won't lead us anywhere, but I guess I was just really head over heels falling for you! I might have done many silly things but I just couldn't help doing such stupid things just to win back your attention.

I really went through a lot trying to prove a point, because lately I have noticed that you seem to turn cold whenever we chat. I am not sure, but I hope that my feeling is wrong. I should have been giving some reasons for what I feel. I have been busy these past few days and a lot of pressure at my school , I Know you are not really used to it; I mean you seem quite cold. Whenever we chat, I just want to have the best of it, the best of you and the best of us. I might have said it's a "game" but it is not. I am really longing to have you back. I want to see you and hang out with you.

I know that I have hurt you for what I've done and I am asking for your forgiveness and hoping that we could start all over again. I really cherish those moments when everything was going great, and you're so cool. I could hardly take the reality of losing you. I really want you back.

If loving you was wrong, I don't want to be right and if living without you is right, I would rather be wrong all my life. I love you and I always will.

Love always,

Uganda considers new anti-gay law

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:49:02 -0500

It is not easy being gay in Uganda and it could be about to get even more difficult.

Gay people in Uganda have long alleged persecution

Homosexual acts are already illegal, but the Anti-Homosexuality Bill proposes new offences and urges the toughening of existing penalties.

The new law is being discussed in Parliament and would create a new crime of "aggravated homosexuality".

It would target gay people who have sex while HIV-positive, or if their partner has a disability, or is under 18.

The crime would be punishable by death.

Frank Magisha is a Ugandan gay rights activist.

Tanzania Ignore civic polls at own peril: Tamwa

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:30:58 -0500

Many of the problems that communities face would be greatly reduced if the people chose the right leaders at the grassroots level.

The Tanzania Media Women's Association (Tamwa) executive director, Ms Ananilea Nkya told a meeting of the Editors Forum of Tanzania Limited last Monday that civic polls, which produced the nucleus leadership, were tragically ignored by many people.

"You will be surprised that there are village chairpersons who do not know how to read and write. Yet, these grassroots leaders are mandated by law to enter into agreements on behalf of their areas," she said.

It was no wonder that such leaders signed the community land away without reflecting on the implications of their actions, she noted. Nationwide civic polls are slated for October 25.

By ignoring the polls, people pawned their very livelihoods to a handful of people motivated by individual interests, to elects leaders who would nonetheless make decisions on their behalf, she explained.

Voter registration for the polls started on October 3 and ends on October 10 but interest so far has been extremely lukewarm.

"Most people dismiss these grassroots elections but the actions of the leaders so obtained touch on every ordinary person's life," she said.

If there was no water in a village or garbage was left uncollected for days, it is not the MP who should be held responsible but the village or street chairman, she said.

But she also blamed the Government for the low level of interest. "We only got the go ahead to conduct sensitisation campaigns only a few days ago. That gives only a week to do the job, she lamented.

The gender activist also took issue with the low number of female candidates. Of the 11,000 seats up for grabs, women were less than 200 or hardly two percent of all the candidates.

"Women make up more than 60 per cent of the population in Tanzania. They are the ones who feel the pinch when grassroots services are missing. They are the ones also who carry the daily burden of taking care of the children," she said and added:

"Therefore, if anything they should constitute the bulk of the grassroots leaders. They are the ones who know what it means when there is no water, or mother and child health services in their areas."

But she also pitched for ability saying, "We need to choose the best, regardless of (their) party affiliation."

Most journalists present while agreeing that participation in the elections was crucial said the information regarding electing the right leaders came too late as nominations for candidates had already been done.
