Thursday Cooking and thoughts

First, off i don't know how i get so busy I never thoughts running a household would ever require this much energy or maybe I am making it harder than it has to be.
Second, today, its gonna be chicken breast with rice. I basically boil a chicken breast in water, with some veggies, think one onion, celery and a carrot, and i take out the Vegies just to make a bit of stock. Salt pepper to taste, you don't need to over season foods, let the flavors come out of the food. Since it is only a chicken breast or two if you have a larger family it requires about 45-60 minutes of simmer time. You could add the veggies about 20 minutes before it is done. Use the stock to make a pilaf, with rice. Get some rice lets say about a cup and a half, look at how much liquid the rice takes, its usually about one cup to one and a one half ratio. And saute the rice in some butter then add the stock. You can stick it in the oven and bake it with the chicken breast or just make the rice in a pot on the stove and shred the chicken and put it on top of the rice. The key is not to over season foods, you can add some lemon on top of this if it seems to be missing something when you serve it.
Now, what I have been thinking about it detachment from religion and how in a sense Greek Orthodoxy has become in my opinion a very detached religion, however, i am severely leary of persons that have an emotional religious slant, in that i find this a bit juvenile too. I mean this kind emotional attachment to religion, and this group emotionality. However, to a degree it is what i find interesting is an intelegent approach to an Emotional Jesus. Well, this is the cultivation of a feeling which one doesn't necessarily share with others, to a degree. I will give an example I was sitting in the park in my neighborhood, with two churches i happen to live in a Catholic pocket in Athens, i don't know why Catholocism follows me where ever I go, i lived in a Catholic neighborhood in the States too. And a Greek orthodox church, then this woman who has four kids, who is trying to be a good Christian, comes up and starts, oh we were just in Sunday school, and why don't you come it is so Great, and we all love it, and honestly i said i don't like it. The reason, was because of people like her being there, if i had to spend time with this trying to be a Christian, person, i would slit my wrists, let alone go to sunday school with her and her four kids. The reason, being she exhudes this kind of we have to... or it should be... or it is this way... or yes, this is the way it is Christianity. Which goes back to my original disdain towards churches in that they can't enforce love only obedience, and to a degree lose the entire aspect of Christ in that Christ was a revolutionary bend the rules type, although i can never understand this whole circumcise, yes, no o.k. do it... stuff. Some day later, it never seemed significant anyway.
So to a degree there is a need for an Emotional Jesus, however, not a stupid Santa Clause kind of sentiment. I feel it is more an energized motion, where there is feeling, thought and action combined.
I personally, would like more emotion expressed which is intellegent, and do appreciate raw emotions too, however, they have to be balanced out to some degree too, not drawn out, think wailing widows still wearing black their whole lives in villages here, its a bit drawn out.
anyway, these are my thoughts today. Tomorrow a party, if i ever get the address to it!!!
