sega

An intellectual, scholar, revolutionary, deist and idealist. A radical pamphleteer, I anticipated and helped foment the American Revolution through my powerful writings, most notably Common Sense, an incendiary pamphlet advocating independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. An advocate of liberalism, I outlined his political philosophy in Rights of Man, written both as a reply to Edmund Burke's view of the French Revolution and as a general political philosophy treatise as well as Common Sense, a treatise on the benefits of personal liberty and limited government, in which I consider society a representation of human ideals, and government a necessary evil.

Raw-Sugar Madeleines

Food – I was so excited to use my new madeleine pan that I dove into preparation, without checking to see if I actually had the necessary ingredients.

Curried Turkey Sandwich!

Food – The first I tried is the Curried Turkey Sandwich. To slightly de-carb, I used a whole-wheat lavash to wrap the contents, rather than the suggested multi-grain baguette. I also substituted currants for raisins, because I had them on hand (and isn't that the beauty of sandwiches?
