Quinoa

Quinoa is a high protein grain from South America.



 Here is my home made cooking  video  that shows how to use home grown tomatoes and basil to make a wonderful dish that supplements any lunch or dinner menu.

I am not much in the kitchen, but this healthy dish is super simple and delish!

Healthcare anyone? The Breakfast Analogy.

Image
In my last lecture on the Economics of Healthcare we got into a discussion on the latest plans that are floating around Washington. In order to simplify the concepts from an economic perspective, I created the breakfast analogy and here it is. Suppose that a discovery was made in the U.S. that few Americans were eating breakfast and this was causing malnutrition As a result there was total consensus that every American should have a nutritious breakfast. The media spells out the options: (1) A National Breakfast Program supplied by the Government, (2) A Government Supplied National Breakfast Insurance Program where the Government mandates a morning breakfast for everyone (this might include a Breakfast Voucher for low incomes) and (3) A National Breakfast Bank [Yes this is ol’ Prof Timmy’s invention]. Under Option (1) everyone who has the money for breakfast pays a fee into the government. The government in turn decides that breakfast was too important of a meal to be left to ...

Indifference Curve Drawing Tips

Okay after seeing some dear in the headlights looks from last night, I am posting my tips for how to draw indifference curves and solve problems that seem to be real buggars (yeah, that's a technical term.) Some students have trouble getting their minds around the concepts of indifference curves. Because these concepts are abstract, this makes solving word problems a bit taxing. No problem, help is on the way. The SET-UP. Setting up the problem is 90% of the solution. Here are a few tips to Set Up correctly. 1. Draw and label the axis first. 2. Draw the first budget constraint line. 3. Stop. Get a cup of coffee or tea and ponder what you just drew. 4. Read the problem again. NOTICE YOU HAVE YET TO DRAW A CURVE! AHA, THAT IS THE TRICK. 5. Consider if you can draw another budget constraint line next or if you need to draw your first Indifference curve. Save the Indifference curves for last if possible. 6. Slowly (and in pencil lightly) draw your first indifference curve mirroring the...

What Omaha means at the line of scrimmage for the Broncos?

When you hear quarterback, Peyton Manning bark out "Omaha" at the line of scrimmage, what does it mean? Simple.   It means, “original play called.”   In other words, whatever the original play that was called in the huddle or scripted from the sidelines will be run. Is this an educated guess?   Well, yes, but it is what Economists do a lot of times when we look at data.  Here is why I made my educated guess. Because Peyton Manning is an avid play caller at the line of scrimmage and because he regularly calls audibles and then changes his call depending on how the defense changes their alignment, the offense players listening to Manning need a quick mechanism that redirects them to the original play called. My evidence of this finding is derived from my observation of several Denver Broncos games.    First, when “Omaha” is called it sometimes the play that follows is a running play, sometimes a passing play.   The running play that follows might...
