Hehe, let’s see if you can pronounce that recipe name. If you can’t, you can also call it “zucchini and potatoes bake”. As always, this oil-free recipe is 200 calories. This one also happens to be a vegeterian dish.

Ingredients (for 1)
* 1 large tomato (30 cals)
* 150 grams zucchini (20 cals)
* 155 grams of a peeled potato (145 cals)
* parsley, onion and garlic (chopped, 5 cals)
* salt, pepper, oregano

Execution
1. Chop the tomato in small cubes and place it in a pan.
2. Wash, then cut the potato and zucchini in thin oval slices. Place them in the pan too. Preheat the oven at 400F (200C).
3. Add 1.5 cup of water along the rest of the ingredients. Boil in high heat for 3 minutes, stir a few times.
4. Place all pan’s contents in a small oven dish. Bake until most of the water is evaporated, the sauce is thickened and the veggies are cooked through. Serve hot.

This was my dinner tonight. Believe it or not, all this food is just 200 calories!

Here’s another Greek favorite. We had to improvize a bit here to get its taste acceptable at 200 calories: the potatoes will have to be cooked with the rice instead of next to it (because of the lack of olive oil in this recipe).

Ingredients (for 1)
* 1 large tomato (30 cals)
* 1 medium-sized green ball pepper (10 cals)
* 25 grams of long grain rice (100 cals)
* 50 grams of a peeled potato (50 cals)
* 30 gr chopped button mushrooms (5 cals)
* chopped parsley, onion and garlic (5 cals)
* salt, pepper, oregano

Execution
1.With a knife cut the upper part of the tomato horizontally (see picture). Do the same for the ball pepper.
2. With a tablespoon dig out the tomato’s flesh and place it in a pan. Do the same for the pepper’s spores and internal flesh, but instead throw these away. Cut the potato in small cubes.
3. In the pan that holds the tomato’s flesh, add the potato cubes, mushrooms, parsley, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and rice. Add 1 cup of water and cook in high heat until the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat.
4. Preheat the oven at 400F (200C). With the spoon fill up the internal part of the tomato and pepper with the pan’s contents. Place them in a small oven dish with half a glass of hot water, and bake them until the rice and potatoes are cooked through.

This is the email I sent this morning to Linus, RMS and their legal dpts:

Dear Mr Torvalds,
Novell today announced that they removed from its distro all non-free kernel modules (they are now available only through a manual download process). As a plain user of GNU/Linux, I take an issue with this because it has an impact in the usability and “out of the box” experience that I expect from any desktop operating system in year 2006.

Note: This email will be published on my blog. Your replies will be kept private, except if otherwise specified.

*Update:* Many people replied, Linus did too, the consesus is that they won’t do anything about it (obviously because they don’t want to piss off both the companies involved and the kernel contributors of many years). Linus refuses to clarify the product and so no potential law firm can build a case against current violators of the GPL. The result: nothing will ever change for the end user and the distros.
