Last Cake, Next Cake
Starting next week, I'd like to feature a blogger every week. If there's a particular cake you want to make, give me a Monday date that works for you, and you'll be featured on that date. Otherwise, I'll just go through the list (featuring someone who baked the cake that week, naturally).
Finally, welcome to Rachelino, a/k/a/ Rachel. She'll be joining us, and baking her first cake in a few weeks.
The Heavenly Cake Bakers came up with some terrific versions of the Hungarian Jancsi Torta. Jenn wanted a smaller version so she divided the recipe in half, using a 6-inch pan, and adding a strip of parchment paper in case it got too tall. (It did).
Nancy B. should get some kind of prize for her determination--she doesn't have her copy of the book yet, so she went to a bookstore and copied the recipe by hand! She served hers with raspberry preserves for the kids and apricot preserves for the adults.
Butter Yum opted for black walnuts because she loves the taste of them--that would never have occurred to me, but she said they were great in the recipe. She has some great photos, too.
Rozanne has a lovely presentation, with artful dollops of raspberry puree. She confessed that she couldn't stop eating it!
Nicola's copy of the book arrived on Saturday--just in time for her to bake the cake! She was also relieved that Rose's version didn't have twelve layers, four fillings, and spun sugar, as apparently some versions do. I'm relieved too.
Faithy made a dynamite-looking chocolate ganache topping. She said she liked its texture better right from the refrigerator.
Next up: Barcelona Brownie Bars. This recipe calls for financier molds, preferably silicone. The silicone molds that are described as "financier molds" (available on amazon.com), are too small.
What you want are the ones that are called "mini cake pans." I can't wait to try these--they're made with pecans, dark chocolate, cocoa, and cream cheese--and filled (optionally) with ganache "plugs." If you don't like nuts, there's also a cherry version.
If you don't have the silicone molds and don't want to get them, I would think you could use mini muffin pans, or madeline pans.
Or maybe you have other ideas.

I noticed on Nancy's blog, a commenter posted a link to the Barcelona Brownie recipe on Rose's website.
I assume that the recipe's the same. If it is, since Monday's Thanksgiving holiday here in Canada, I have no excuse not to bake this weekend. :)

I had completely forgotten about the recipe already being on Rose's web site--that's good news for people who don't have the books yet. I noticed that Rose suggested madeline pans as an alternative, and also told readers that they could bake these brownies in an 8" or 9" square pan for more traditional brownies.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Just in case anyone reads these comments but doesn't go to look at Rose's comments on the recipe post: She suggested 1 1/2 times the recipe for an 8" square pan, and doubling for a 9".
I think I'm going to go for the cherry version. It sounds so good!

marie, you will love these lekue mini cake silicone pans, 9 cavities. they work for EVERYTHING! the size and support is great that even something with the wrong amount of aeration or leavening will come out great!

I already ordered the teeny tiny ones - I didn't realize they were tiny because there were no dimensions on the site! I have now ordered the right ones (from Italy!), just hoping that they arrive in time, otherwise it will be a bit of improvisation.
The BBB recipe on Rose's site is identical, except for a few of the metric measurements differ by a couple of grams. Imperial seems fine.

Thanks for catching that!
I used the teeny tiny ones on the chocolate ingots and they worked fine--there was just a lot of batter left over, and you have to watch carefully for doneness. They are very cute, but are literally just one or two bites.

- Nancy B said...
I was worried about the shipping time on the Lekue molds via Amazon, and ended up ordering a 12-mold Gastroflex version: http://www.wasserstrom.com/restaurant-supplies-equipment/Product_394016
It will be interesting to compare the Barcelona Brownies to Rose's classic Brownie Puddle, which also uses the "punch holes and fill with ganache" technique.

Marie - thanks for posting the summary. It's very well written. Also for the info re. financier molds on amazon.
Kristina - thanks for the barcelona brownie recipe link. I didn't even know you can bake it in a madeleine pan. I am hesitating in purchasing the financier pan at this point - maybe in the future.
Hector - what do you mean by financier mold working for everything? does that includes cookie batter and cake batter? Can you please elaborate?
- October 7, 2009 at 9:02 AM
- Rozanne said...
"Last Cake, Next Cake" - great idea Marie.
Welcome Rachel!
- October 7, 2009 at 10:13 AM
- ButterYum said...
I don't have the lekue pan and it will never arrive in time if I order it, so I'll have to come up with plan B.
As for the Hungarian Jancsi Torta - I ate the last piece today, 48 hours after it was baked. It started to get a little soggy/sticky on the bottom. I'm sure that's due to the sugar/meringue content of the cake - sugar is hygroscopic.
- October 7, 2009 at 10:18 AM
- Nancy B said...
A co-worker who got a piece of the torte yesterday (and praised it highly then) passed me in the hall today, then stopped and called me back to say "that was possibly one of the best things I've eaten this year."

Thank for the welcome everyone!!!
My online nickname "Rachelino" is my Dad's nickname for me and is pronounced "Rachel-EEno" like a silly Italian version of my name. Like Rachel Vino without the v. I am not trying to be mysterious...and you all can call me whatever you like!
I am so impressed with everyone's work (and NANCY B! You hereby are awarded a prize for copying that recipe!!) and I look forward to joining you for Apple Upside Down Cake.

dear everyone,
i've gone to everyone's blog who joined and misty eyed read through every posting. wow: what a wonderful world.
it's so nice to meet all of you and your enthusiasm is a total delight.
my only fear is to miss a single posting. i'll try not to.

Help - I just went to Amazon and found 2 different "mini cake pans" by Lekue. One is blue, the other a reddish color ($12.99 and 13.50 respectively). Which one should I order?
Blue Dimensions: 17 x 7 x 1.2 inches
Reddish Dimensions:12.3 x 8 x 1.5 inches
- October 7, 2009 at 4:45 PM
- faithy, the amateur baker said...
i doubt i can get the mini cake pans on time even if i ordered it now. it'll take more than 2 weeks to be shipped to me in Asia! :( I guess i have to come up with alternatives.
- October 7, 2009 at 6:29 PM
- breadbasketcase said...
I got the blue ones because I knew that the ones Woody had were blue, so I figured that must be right. But, really, they shouldn't have two different products marketed under the same name.

- JC said...
These all sound so great. I actually have this recipe from several years ago by the Two Fat Ladies. They called it Rigo Jancsi's Chocolate Slices. They made the cake in a sheet pan, sliced it in two. Then they spread one layer with Apricot Jam and chocolate glaze. Put on the second layer, more chocolate glaze and then sliced it into finger length servings. Was delicious.
- October 8, 2009 at 12:02 PM
- breadbasketcase said...
Fascinating--who would have guessed there were so many versions of a Jancsi Torta floating around? I think there's enough material for a movie here--violins, romance, illicit sex, cakes....
- October 8, 2009 at 3:26 PM
- Nancy B said...
It's here! Propped against the garage door when I got home this evening was a package from John Wiley & Sons, and inside was _Heavenly Cakes_! It's absolutely beautiful, and the recipes sound just wonderful. The bake-along is going to be so much fun!

- Hanaâ said...
Nancy B - lucky you! I can't wait for my copy. In the meantime, I picked up a copy at the library. Unfortunately I can only drool over the beautiful pictures because I'm smack in the middle of a kitchen remodeling project... Let me take that back. It's a complete kitchen overhaul project. I'm getting a brand new kitchen. It's really exciting but I miss baking already (and it's only been a week).
So if anyone, who's a member of our Heavenly Baker club, is waiting for their book to arrive, and wants to bake along, I can send you a copy of that week's recipe (after next week since this week's recipe is available on Rose's blog). Please email me at HanaasKitchen [at] live [dot] com.
My friend offered me the use of her kitchen. If I have time this weekend, I might take her up on it and bake these delicious brownies. I think I'd use my mini/tiny-brioche pans. I think they'll look nice with the flared/decorative edges.
- October 9, 2009 at 8:37 AM
- breadbasketcase said...
So glad that everyone is getting their beautiful autobraphed books and we can all start baking in earnest.
I love the idea of using mini-brioche pans--looking forward to seeing what alternative pans people come up with because I'm pretty sure that not everyone has silicone financier pans lying around the house.
- October 9, 2009 at 4:53 PM
- Hanaâ said...
Yay! I received my signed copy of RHC yesterday. As I left work, I called my husband and asked him if there was any mail for me, and he said Yes. Boy, that felt like the longest drive home!! :o) Thank you Rose for writing another winner, thank you Wiley, and of course a big thanks to Marie for setting up this bake along, and doing such a fabulous job spreading the word and getting everybody excited about the book and the bake along.

There's so much to say about this year's Christmas Shebangabang, but I'll have to give you the short and sweet for now, as I am writing on borrowed time. My laptop, you see, on which I depend for nearly everything, has decided that it's forgotten how to start up, and whenever the hard-disk gives itself a How's-Your-Father it spits out "fatal disk errors." I've been assured my data are retrievable, but I was also assured that George Bush Jr. would never be president and that Iomega stock would top out at 40. So I won't be sleeping soundly for a while.
The foremost topic of conversation is that Robert's conversion to the dark side is now complete. He now sits at the feet of the emperor in a brand-new #13 Yankees home jersey, which he would wear in the bathtub if we let him. He knows where it is at all times, and some internal alarm goes off whenever either of the RetardoCats gets anywhere near it, lest they sully it with their shedding. I wish that were all, but it were not, and the shot I have of my child wearing a Yankee jersey and Yankee batting gloves and brandishing a Yankee bat is enough to make a grown man cry.
(Wait. The Boston Red Sox have won two Series since the Yankee dynasty ended seven years ago. Never mind.)
Speaking of RetardoCats, the other big hit with the Berts is an unassuming pair of remote-control cars. They're the size of your basic Matchbox and need recharging every 45 seconds, but when they're working they're absolutely excellent for tormenting felines who will Never. Stop. Chasing. They're so intent that even with four broken limbs they'd find a way to hump their bodies across the floor to catch the strange little robo-vermin.
I hope your family celebrations were happy and healthy, and many thanks to those of you who e-mailed about Laid-Off Granddad. The blood thinners are working, and his leg no longer resembles a big, fat leg of mutton. He still cannot shave, however, lest he cut himself and die clotlessly, so I'm growing a sympathy beard until he can resume his clean-cut, clean-shaven lifestyle. This is the sort of thing I wish I could explain to people as they hurry their children past me on the street.

Greg Laurie Senior Pastor
I came from a broken home and was lonely much of the time. As did so many others of my generation, I bought into the idea that drugs might contain some of the answers I was looking for, so I could truly find myself. At a very early age, I found myself asking the big questions: What is the meaning of life? Why am I here? And the one that really kept me up nights: What will happen after I die?
Although I felt certain that Jesus was out there somewhere, I certainly did not think He was interested in me or my problems. But one day, on my high-school campus, I sat close enough to a Bible study to overhear what was being said without looking like one of the group. I don't remember much of what was said that day except for one statement: Jesus said, "You are either for Me or against Me." What side are you on?
That really struck me. Before I knew quite what was happening, I was praying to receive Jesus Christ into my heart and life. Since that day in 1970, I have pastored a church and written a number of books as well as preached in evangelistic events we hold called Harvest Crusades.
Growing up, it was my dream to one day become a professional cartoonist, but God opened up a different plan for my life, and I'm glad he did. I hope you will allow God to use you to further His kingdom as well.

Bogus DMCA Takedown Knocks Out Yet Another Political Ad
from the politcal-speech dept
What's troubling, yet again, is that this form of political speech has been removed from YouTube in the heat of an election battle. Even if the takedown was not political, it's clearly a case of copyright law being used to stifle political speech. The EFF asks Arginate to withdraw the takedown and asks YouTube to put the video back up (without waiting for the whole 10 to 14 day period in the DMCA).

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada and South Korea are very close to signing a long-delayed free trade deal after years of talks, sources familiar with the negotiations said on Thursday.
"It's imminent," said one business source, who asked for anonymity because a formal announcement had not been made yet.
"They are really, really close," said another person with knowledge of the protracted negotiations.
Another industry source said Canadian government officials were now seeking reaction from stakeholders to a South Korean deal, a step they also took just before Canada announced it had agreed a free trade pact with the European Union last year.
Canada, seeking to diversify its exports away from the United States, has long targeted the rapidly expanding economies of Asia.
Canada's Trade Ministry says exports to South Korea in 2012 were worth C$3.7 billion ($3.4 billion) while imports from South Korea hit C$6.4 billion.
"We have no deal at this point. Negotiations are ongoing," said Rudy Husny, a spokesman for International Trade Minister Ed Fast.
Talks with South Korea began in 2005, but later stalled over disputes about auto exports and a delay by Seoul in scrapping its ban on Canadian beef. South Korea lifted its nine-year-old ban in 2012.
Some Canada-based auto firms worry about a free-trade deal on the grounds it would cut an existing 6.1 percent tariff on imports of vehicles made by Kia Motors Corp (000270.KS) and Hyundai Corp (011760.KS).
But a free trade deal would be particularly welcome news for Canadian beef and pork shippers, who fear shipments to South Korea will shrink once Seoul's free trade deal with the United States takes full effect in 2016.
The Canadian Council of Chief Executives last month sent a letter to Fast urging the deal be completed, saying the United States, the European Union and Australia had already concluded agreements with South Korea.

Heat waves can take a toll on seniors
Today's (June 29) maximum temperature in Fremont is 99. The trend is likely to continue for a few more days.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States. On average, excessive heat claims more lives each year than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and lightning combined (http://www.noaawatch.gov/themes/heat.php).
"The elderly are often the most vulnerable to severe heat," said Jeff Huber, president of Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care® network.
"Their bodies do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature, they are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat, and they are often on a prescription medicine that impairs the body's ability to regulate its temperature or that inhibits perspiration," he continued.
If you are a senior or caring for an elderly individual, the following tips, from the local Home Instead Senior Care office, will help them combat the heat:
• Keep a glass of water in every room to quickly and easily access fluids. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don't feel thirsty.
• Go through the closet and remove all heavy materials, long sleeves and dark colors. Store them until fall.
• Set fashion trends. If you're in need of new clothes, check out the latest fashion magazines. Look for short sleeves, lightweight rayons or cottons, and light-colored clothing that reflect the heat.
• Stay out of the sun during the hottest times of the day. Fill up your bird feeder in the morning and water the lawn at night. Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult.
• Put down that broom! Save household chores, particularly washing and drying clothes and operating the dishwasher, for evenings, when the weather is cooler.
• Take a nap during high heat times – between 3 and 5 p.m. in the afternoon, for instance – or find a good television program or movie to watch.
• While you're napping or enjoying a movie, keep shades down and blinds pulled. Keeping a house tightly closed is more energy efficient.
• Invite your friends over for an iced tea break. Replace coffee breaks with iced tea or lemonade breaks in an air-conditioned spot – not the patio. Staying in an air-conditioned dwelling during hot days is safer.
• Go on a shopping spree. If you don't have an air conditioner, or if yours is broken, spend the afternoon at the mall. You can shop or just enjoy cool drinks and a good book.
• Put away that meat loaf recipe for the summer and track down new recipes for fruit and vegetable salads. Foods like proteins that increase metabolic heat production also increase water loss.
• If increased use of a central air conditioning system causes higher utility bills that are a problem for your budget, consider purchasing a fan or small window unit that can cool down a home at a lower cost. In fact, window fans provide an effective way to exhaust the day's hot air during the night.

Weird Quicksilver / Finder Boot Bug
I just saw, on Quicksilver's autolaunch, not the usual "QS" but instead a version of the Finder logo which was done in shades of red instead of blue. Haven't been able to find any reports of this via Google, though.

An effete easterner in western guise rambles across the 19th-century American landscape.
One of the primary motifs of American fiction is reinvention (Huck Finn, Gatsby, et al.), and in this novel, the narrator, Edward Turrentine Bayard III, aka Ned, puts on identities as easily as he changes clothes. Through a combination of ill-health (his own) and duplicity (others'), he's moved from Connecticut to the western frontier and in the first scene finds himself skinning buffaloes, with more enthusiasm than skill, in Nebraska. But the young man is a talented, self-taught artist, and a leading paleontologist uncovers this talent and promises to mentor Ned by sponsoring his admission to Yale. Back east, the scientist, alas, turns out to be both paranoid and fraudulent, and he turns on Ned just when Ned's academic promise begins to manifest itself. Through a complicated series of misunderstandings and false claims, Ned is labeled an anarchist and is forced to find his way westward again, not so much to prove his innocence as to escape a false identity that's been thrust upon him. He's accompanied by two companions: Curly, a young boy he's rescued from the Pennsylvania mines, and Phaegin, a cigar-rolling gamine he's picked up on the streets of New Haven. At this point, the novel loses focus, as the picaresque narrative becomes as thin as a buffalo hide. We follow Ned's attempt to recover his first—and lost—love; he becomes wary when an operative from the Pinkerton Detective Agency is discovered to be on his tail; he and his companions suffer hunger, thirst, distrust and victimization—all the usual suspects. Several characters introduced early on turn up unexpectedly as Ned carefully picks his route back west.
The journey eventually becomes tedious as Ned fails to establish an identity that satisfies both himself and the reader.

Tony Curtis co-stars as an aspiring aerialist who coerces Lancaster into teaching him the tricks of the trade.
The friendship between Lancaster and Curtis is threatened by the arrival of beautiful, ambitious circus tumbler Gina Lollobridgida (it's a toss-up as to which of the three stars looks best in spangled tights).
Surprisingly, Lancaster's former circus partner Nick Cravat is nowhere to be found in the film; we are, however, treated to the harmonica virtuosity of Johnny Puleo. Trapeze is highlighted by its truly breathtaking stunt sequences, performed by the cream of the European big-top circuit.

Alan Alda in Scientific American Frontiers "Coming to America" Who were the first Americans, and when did they arrive? Did they get here by land or sea? Did a single group populate the continent, or did many? Experts used to agree that the first Americans walked across the Bering land bridge from Asia about 12,000 years ago, then found their way south, eventually colonizing all of North and South America. But exciting recent finds at sites on both continents have triggered new theories. Alan Alda tries to find out who's saying what, and why. D

Hi Everyone,
UBS chief economist Deo, has even gone so far as to estimate that 20 to 25 percent of GDP might be realistic in the first year after a German exit alone. That would translate to a per capita cost of between €6,000 and €8,000, with costs of between €3,500 and €4,500 in subsequent years. By comparison, if, after Greece, Portugal and Ireland each had to be given a debt haircut of 50 percent, Deo estimates it would only cost around €1,000 per German citizen -- and it would be a one-time cost.
In other words, the German government has a choice between a really bad outcome and a truly horrendous one. Similar choices face the governments of the other Euro-zone countries. So long as European leaders are not so foolish as to put this choice (or more likely part of it) to a popular referendum, I'm fairly confident that each government will be wise enough to chose the really bad option and avoid the truly horrendous outcome.
Another reason I think the EU will become more centralized has to do with what the German government will demand in return for financing these bail outs. As the EU leaders begin to talk about reforming the treaties that govern the EU, the proposals all seem to be in the direction of more integration and more central control over national spending. One would be forgiven for thinking that the Germans are insisting that if they get stuck with the lion's share of the bill, then they should be allowed to remake the European Central Bank more in the image of the German Bundesbank. That is a powerful and independent central banking institution that acts to restrain inflationary government spending policies.
Furthermore, if we think about the incentives to a country like Greece to ditch the Euro, the choices have been badly misunderstood in the press. The way the story is reported in most media, it is assumed that the Greek people are being made to suffer more for the sake of staying in the Euro. This is most likely not the case. If Greece left the Euro, it will still be obliged to pay off its debts. Having left the Euro, it would have to do this by printing Drachmas... A LOT of Drachmas. Predictions of hyper inflation are not unreasonable in this event. That would hit Greece at exactly the same time that it gave up the trade advantages and attractiveness to Northern European investors that came with the Euro. In other words, Greece has a choice between painful austerity and painful austerity plus stagflation! Greek politicians have already indicated their choice... they'll take the austerity and pass on the stagflation.
Finally, even though all these changes will require heroic compromises between governments with often opposing interest, I think a deal for long term reform will happen. The consequences of failure to reach a compromise will be so dire that the governments will make the deal happen. It will be messy, lurching, awkward and push things to the final final deadline, but I think a deal will happen. And although the Germans will end up paying most of the bills for this mess, the price they will charge in return will be in the form of major reforms to the EU itself. In five or ten years we will be talking about the de facto Bundesrepublik Europa.
I should also emphasize that I'm not predicting a rapid economic recovery in Europe. I still think the EU will be hit with a nasty recession. I'm just surprised that so many people think that this recession will destroy the Euro and the EU. I get the impression that most commentators simply do not understand how firmly established the EU really is. They seem to think of it as some kind of European version of NAFTA with a currency union tacked on to it. It is far more institutionalized and deeply rooted than that.

Despite the recognition of the climate's hybrid epistemological character, in which attention is placed not only on familiar approaches of climate change modeling and science but also on the cultural, experiential, and socio-ecological dimensions of climate change policy, local knowledge, and practice, research that attempts to combine these different perspectives is still rare. In this research interest group (RIG), we wish to open up a conversation about the multiple epistemologies and experiences that characterize climate change, and the ways in which we might design research to bring them together.

Lipscomb Associate AD Brent High reports in from Honduras on day three of the Softball mission trip.
Day three is in the books. Everyone is physically spent. Eight more hours of largely moving dirt one wheelbarrow load at a time to fill in the foundation of the house filled our day. The first two days we've been blessed by the clouds and cover Tropical Storm Ernesto has provided. Today we experienced quite a bit more sun. Today reminded us that we are extremely near the Equator. Every time the sun came out between Noon and 3 p.m. we felt it immediately. There are a few sunburned necks and ears, mine included, but another day without incident or injury is another blessing to count.
As Alex Ross said today, "If I don't come back from this trip looking like Thor something is wrong!" This is hard, hard manual labor. It's unforgiving. It doesn't allow for rest. The truck pulls up and dumps a huge load of dirt partially on the road beside the building site. We have to get it off the street and into the building footprint before the next load arrives. Our group began to despise the roar of the big Mercedes truck making its way through the nearby streets as it got closer to our site. Almost every time we had just finished scooping up the last wheelbarrow load of dirt when a new load arrived and put us back at square one. We did make a lot of progress in filling in the footprint. I would say we're probably 35% done. It will be a challenge to our group to try and finish that part of the job by Saturday.
This afternoon the half of our group that didn't do food deliveries yesterday got to do so in and around San Marcos de Colon. Most of these people live in what we would describe in the U.S. as chicken coops. They were all extremely appreciative of the food. Some cried. It provided a serious jolt of reality to our team and gave all of us a deeper appreciation of what we have back home along with a challenge to be better stewards of our resources.
Today we spent a great deal of time with the children in the neighborhood that surrounds the build site. We brought a gigantic suitcase with us we affectionately call "Santa's Sleigh." Inside were dozens of purple Lipscomb jerseys, candy and several different deflated sports balls. We told all the kids to gather round, that we had a "regalo" for them (gift). We handed them a brand new futbol (soccer ball). They immediately went to work playing with it in the street. Then we distributed Lipscomb jerseys to all of them. More and more kids started pouring into the street. I would estimate we handed out about 20 jerseys today. The kids wore them all day long. Then we gave them a baseball bat and ball and some tennis balls. Our girls pitched to them in the street and let them hit. They had a blast. We distributed most of the candy and some frisbees. Needless to say our girls were the hit of the neighborhood. The kids brought them the soccer ball and asked all of them to sign it. Then they spent the rest of the day trying to match the names with the girls. It was a very neat experience to witness. The end of the day was marked by the kids approaching each and every one of our girls wanting to hug them. Dozens of "hasta mananas" (see you tomorrow) filled the air as we got in our trucks and headed back to the refuge.
I would be remiss not to point out that I have the most amazing wife on the planet. Today is the 15th anniversary of the day Emily Pleasant married me in Waverly, Tenn. It's difficult being away from her especially today but I am so blessed to have such a warrior in my life that fully supports my work with these athletes at Lipscomb.
Once again, let me thank all of the donors who made this trip possible. I hope to be able to share with all of you a detailed report outlining the return on your investment. I am so proud to be affiliated with Lipscomb during weeks like this. It's truly what makes Lipscomb special and why being a Bison is such a blessing.
Please continue to pray for us.

Epidemiology; Infectious disease; Prevention; Child survival
Hygiene and water quality are often compromised in extreme events, due to the interruption of routine municipal supplies, as well as disruptions in social order. Handwashing with soap has been shown to reduce the risk of diarrhea and pneumonia by about 50% in young children in low- and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization recommends that all countries undertake urgent action to prepare for a pandemic of influenza (www.who.int). Dr. Ram is currently pursuing studies to determine whether intensive promotion of handwashing with soap will reduce the risk of influenza transmission to young children, and to household contacts, in low-income settings. This work is expected to substantially inform international efforts to plan for the next influenza pandemic, particularly in the low-income and complex emergency settings where influenza transmission is expected to be intense in a pandemic situation.

Dutch ISPs Refuse To Block The Pirate Bay Without A Direct Order
from the good-for-them dept
"KPN sees the blocking of websites as a drastic measure for which a court order is required," KPN said in a statement, adding that innovation is needed to curb piracy.It's good to see that these ISPs are standing up for the right to an open internet. Of course, I do wonder how such block orders work under Netherlands' (first of its kind) net neutrality law.
"KPN doesn't believe a blockade is the right solution. What is needed are robust, attractive business models that are easy to use and offer a fair deal to both producers and consumers of content."
T-Mobile also said that it will only respond to court orders, while it emphasized the value of an open Internet.
"T-Mobile strongly supports an open Internet and is fundamentally against shutting off access to websites. Dutch law is very clear when it comes to blocking access to the Internet. T-Mobile will only respond to a court ruling, not to demands from a private party such as BREIN."
In the meantime, the two ISPs who were subject to the court order have begun the blockade, with Ziggo pointing users to an information page... in which they tell users that it's easy to get around the blockade.

Opinion: A military parade could be a morale boost for our country
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - The Pentagon is reviewing options for a military parade in Washington, D.C. The request to plan a parade came from President Trump.
The idea for a military parade did receive some criticism from the left and the right. Cost is an issue that has come up. The last parade in D.C. was in 1991 to celebrate the end of the first Gulf War. That parade cost about $21 million in today's money. Considering last week's spending deal added $500 billion to our budget, $21 million is well worth it to promote national unity and strength.
Military parades have a long and storied history in our country. They have celebrated the ending of the Civil War, victories in both World Wars and, of course, the victory in the first Gulf War in 1991.
A parade has to have a reason. I spoke about this with the Chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security, Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-Fl).
"Well you know I look at the images from after we won World War II to see the parades in New York City and things like that, and I'm generally supportive of that. But I think you need the parade to actually celebrate something that the military has accomplished. And maybe that when ISIS is finally defeated in Syria and Iraq, maybe you bring the folks who were involved with that and do it," DeSantis said.
Here is the bottom line: a well-timed parade would be a celebration of America, including its military might. Our country can use a morale boost. A military parade would provide that while also projecting power to the rest of the world, for both our allies and enemies to see.

McCULLOM LAKE – Glenn and Donna Gates call the class-action lawsuit they carried against Ringwood chemical manufacturer Rohm and Haas anything but a failure.
The 2006 lawsuit, alleging that air and water pollution from the plant caused a brain cancer cluster in the McCullom Lake area, has come to an end with a federal court's refusal to certify it and allow it to proceed to trial. But the Gateses said the awareness that the lawsuit raised, and the settlement with another defendant that led to two early detections of brain tumors, made it a success.
"I think the class-action lawsuit accomplished what I set out to accomplish – if we save one life, we've succeeded. We saved two," Donna Gates said. "You can't put a value on life. Was it worth it? I think it was."
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania, sought to force Philadelphia-based Rohm and Haas to pay for medical monitoring and property damage relief for residents. It alleges, as do 33 individual lawsuits filed to date in Pennsylvania state court, that vinyl chloride from plant operations and from a mile-long contamination plume from a closed 8-acre waste pit caused residents to develop brain and large pituitary tumors.
U.S. District Court Judge Gene Pratter ruled in March 2010 that the motion filed by plaintiffs' attorney Aaron Freiwald did not meet the required legal burden to be a class-action lawsuit. Freiwald challenged the ruling with the 3rd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which last August upheld it, and rejected a motion to reconsider in October.
With the deadline to petition the U.S. Supreme Court passed, Freiwald's team at the start of the year decided against continuing the fight through methods such as filing individual claims for medical monitoring. While Freiwald shares Gateses' views that the lawsuit was in many ways a success, he argues that if this case is not a legitimate medical monitoring class-action, then nothing is.
"We looked at that and decided that the language of the 3rd Circuit's opinion really didn't leave room for further appeal," Freiwald said. "We decided [individual monitoring claims are] not a direction we're going to go in."
The federal court's rulings have no effect on the 33 individual state cases, which are ongoing.
To Rohm and Haas attorney Kevin Van Wart, the federal court "reached the right result based on the record that was before it," a sentiment echoed by company spokeswoman Sarah Opperman. While the company, now a subsidiary of Dow Chemical Co., has been working since 1991 to clean up contaminated groundwater oozing from the plant, it has aggressively fought the idea that it reached village wells, tainted their air or made anyone sick.
"Certainly Rohm and Haas is gratified by the results and the due process followed all the way along. While we remain sympathetic to the people involved ... we believe this is the correct outcome in this case," Opperman said.
Medical mystery
While the Gateses themselves never have been diagnosed with brain tumors, they have watched friends and neighbors sicken and die during their 46 years living on Orchard Drive in the small village of 1,049 people.
Four friends of the Gateses died of a brain cancer normally found in three people per 100,000.
They included former next-door neighbor Franklin Branham, who retired to Arizona with his wife, Joanne, and died in 2004 from glioblastoma multiforme. The daughter-in-law of the neighbors who moved in after them, Susan Kalash, died of the same disease in 1996 – she and her husband, Dan, spent almost every weekend visiting, and lived in various locations in McCullom Lake and Ringwood.
Neighbor John Stepp, who Donna Gates trained to drive buses with Pioneer Center for Human Services, was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2006. Stepp died in 2008.
The Gateses' four children were friends with the Branhams' five children, and the seven children of Julie Mass, who lived a block away on the lake shore. Mass was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2006 and died a year later on New Year's Eve.
Long before retiring out west, Franklin Branham built his family a new, larger home on McCullom Lake Road. His two neighbors – Bryan Freund and longtime Gates friend Kurt Weisenberger – were diagnosed in 2004 and 2005 with oligodendroglioma, a rare brain tumor found in one person per 300,000.
It wasn't long afterward when the three families connected their situations with the chemical stench from the plant, which prompted a 1975 lawsuit against the company from the Illinois Attorney General's Office, and reports dating to the 1980s as then-owner Morton International reported to the state that its closed waste pit was leaking.
Memos uncovered during the discovery process revealed that the plant's owners knew in 1973 that the waste pit was leaking into groundwater. Tests of 293 village wells in December 2010 came back clean except for a few with volatile organic compounds far below U.S. Environmental Protection Agency limits.
The Gateses agreed to carry the class-action lawsuit – meaning they were the named plaintiffs – when the neighbors decided to sue Rohm and Haas and neighboring Modine Manufacturing, which pollution reports show contributed to groundwater contamination with carcinogenic solvent trichloroethylene.
Racine, Wis.-based Modine decided in 2008 to settle the lawsuit, denying culpability but agreeing to pay $1.4 million for medical monitoring and $100,000 toward property value relief – a small amount to reflect, in the words of the litigation, that the company was far short of the main contributor to the pollution.
Two of the 33 plaintiffs to date were diagnosed through Modine-funded screening. Former village resident Jennifer Rhoades was diagnosed with a meningioma on the lining of her brain, and an MRI of former resident Daureen Willy found a large tumor near her pituitary gland.
And others, to include the Gateses and their four grown children, learned that they were all right.
"Until that doctor looked at our MRIs and said everything was normal, I was very concerned," Donna Gates said. "Did we possibly have something growing, too?"
While more than 700 eligible people applied for the vouchers, slightly more than 100 of them went through with the monitoring. The settlement allocated the remaining $800,000 last year to five area charities.
Half of the unused funds, more than $400,000, went to the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation, while the McHenry County Community Foundation received $160,000. About $80,000 apiece went to the McCullom Lake volunteer group Neighbors Helping Neighbors, founded by Village President Terry Counley, and school foundations for Johnsburg School District 12 and McHenry High School District 156.
Watching and waiting
Above all, the Gateses said that filing the lawsuit has been a learning experience in more ways than one.
To Donna Gates, it increased community awareness, and the community for the most part does not hold the litigation against them. Both husband and wife laughed when asked what they learned about government in how county, state and federal health authorities handled investigating the alleged cancer cluster.
"The government tried to sweep it under the rug. They don't care about any of us," Glenn Gates said.
With the class-action dead and hope of a legitimate government inquiry gone, the Gateses are keenly watching the fate of the first individual case to go to trial, that of widow Joanne Branham.
The duo planned to travel to Philadelphia in fall 2010 to attend several days and show their support, but the judge ended the trial Oct. 21 and dismissed the jury after several days in which Van Wart savaged the plaintiffs' epidemiologist on cross-examination.
Judge Allan Tereshko called the testimony "an attempt to deceive the court" and "tantamount to fraud." He granted Rohm and Haas' motion to dismiss in April 2011. Freiwald blasted the ruling in his appeal, alleging among other things that Tereshko violated court rules by granting Rohm and Haas nonsuit before Freiwald, who had three more experts to call, had rested his case.
Both sides are awaiting a briefing schedule for the appellate court, which in Pennsylvania is called the Superior Court.
The Gateses share Freiwald's optimism that Tereshko's ruling will be overturned and that Joanne Branham will get a do-over.
"I'm hoping they get it back into court here and get something done," Glenn Gates said.
About this series
"Coincidence or Cluster" is the Northwest Herald's ongoing investigative coverage of the McCullom Lake brain cancer lawsuits.
Timeline of litigation
• April 25, 2006: Lawsuits filed in Pennsylvania state court allege that air and groundwater pollution from Ringwood manufacturers Rohm and Haas, Huntsman and Modine Manufacturing caused brain tumors in three former McCullom Lake next-door neighbors. Plaintiff's attorney Aaron Freiwald files a class-action lawsuit in federal court to force the companies to pay for medical monitoring and property value relief for village residents.
• March 26, 2007: Huntsman, which operates out of the Rohm and Haas plant, is dropped from the lawsuits. The number of individual plaintiffs in state court now stands at 17.
• Jan. 15, 2008: Modine Manufacturing agrees to settle out of court. The Racine, Wis.-based company denies culpability but agrees to settle the class-action lawsuit by paying $1.4 million toward medical monitoring and $100,000 toward property value relief. The company also settled with individual plaintiffs, which number 23 by early 2008, for undisclosed sums.
• June 12-13, 20, 2008: U.S. District Court Judge Gene Pratter holds a three-day hearing on whether to certify the class-action lawsuit against Philadelphia-based Rohm and Haas, the sole remaining defendant.
• March 5, 2010: Judge Pratter denies certification for the class-action lawsuit in a 52-page ruling that concludes that the motion fails to meet the required legal burden. Freiwald files an appeal with the 3rd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals two weeks later.
• Sept. 20, 2010: The first of the individual lawsuits, now standing at 31, goes to trial in Philadelphia state court. A 32nd plaintiff files suit two days into the trial. Five weeks into the trial, on Oct. 21, Judge Allan Tereshko abruptly ends the trial and dismisses the jury after alleging that the testimony of plaintiff's epidemiologist was "tantamount to fraud" and "an attempt to deceive the court."
• April 28, 2011: Tereshko officially dismisses the first case. Freiwald blasts the judge's decision as "a product of emotion and bias" and files an appeal a week later.
• Aug. 25, 2011: The 3rd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upholds Pratter's denial of certification for the class-action lawsuit. A request by Freiwald for all 14 judges on the circuit to reconsider the three-member panel's ruling through an "en banc" appeal is rejected Oct. 5.
• January/February 2012: Plaintiffs' counsel decides to end the class-action lawsuit, and decides against pursuing other avenues, such as the filing of individual monitoring claims.
While the class-action is dead, both sides in the first individual lawsuit are awaiting a briefing schedule for the appellate court, which in Pennsylvania is called the Superior Court.
There are 33 plaintiffs as of today – 25 with brain tumors, six with pituitary tumors, one with both, and one with liver cirrhosis of unknown origin.

UN: Torture of detainees common in Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The torture of detainees in Mexico continues to be widespread and occurs between the time of arrest and when suspects appear before a judge, a United Nations official said Friday after a two-week probe of issue.
U.N. special rapporteur on torture Juan Mendez said that signs of torture are found on people arrested by all levels of authority, from the military down to local and state police.
Mendez spoke in a press conference at the end of his visit to Mexico, where he met with officials, activists and victims of torture.
He said practices reported include beatings with fists, feet and sticks, asphyxiating with plastics bags and electric shock to the genitals.
"I wish I could say that torture is isolated in Mexico," said Mendez, who was invited by the Mexican government to do the study. "But I have an obligation to tell the government and society of Mexico that it's the kind of problem that needs to be corrected."
He will prepare a report with recommendations for the government that will eventually go to the U.N. Human Rights Council, where it will become public.
The Mexican Foreign Ministry said the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto has made it a priority to eradicate torture and is committed to completing the recommendations.
Mendez said "widespread" torture is defined by consistent evidence of abuse among detainees and something that is considered normal practice by arresting authorities. He said the torture regularly occurs in police vehicles or illegal hideouts away from police stations or jails.
He said the principal way to avoid it would be for Mexico to reform its justice system so that detainees get immediate access to a lawyer, something that currently doesn't happen.
Various national and international civil groups have criticized Mexico for years for use of torture by security forces as a tactic in extracting confessions, rather than conducting professional investigations to prosecute crimes. The criticism increased in the wake of former President Felipe Calderon's attack on organized crime that started in late 2006.
In 2011, for example, Human Rights Watch said in a report that it had found evidence of more than 170 cases of torture, 39 disappearances and 24 extrajudicial killings by security forces under Calderon's strategy.

Matthew Gregory Lewis, byname Monk Lewis, (born July 9, 1775, London, Eng.—died May 14, 1818, at sea), English novelist and dramatist who became famous overnight after the sensational success of his Gothic novel The Monk (1796). Thereafter he was known as "Monk" Lewis.
Educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford, Lewis served as attaché to the British embassy at The Hague and was a member of Parliament from 1796 to 1802. In 1812 he inherited a fortune and large properties in Jamaica. Sincerely interested in the conditions of his 500 slaves, he made two West Indian voyages, contracted yellow fever on his return from the second, and died at sea.
The Monk, written when Lewis was 19, was influenced by the leading Gothic novelist, Ann Radcliffe, and also by stronger contemporary German Gothic literature. Its emphasis on horror rather than romance, its violence, and its eroticism made it avidly read, though universally condemned. Its success was followed by a popular musical drama in the same vein, The Castle Spectre (performed 1797; published 1798), which was produced by the dramatist Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Lewis' other lasting work was a triumph of a very different nature, the Journal of a West India Proprietor (published 1834), attesting to his humane and liberal attitudes.

My Return to Legends of Golf
(Jack Fleck denied Ben Hogan a record fifth U.S. Open title.)
It began with Jack Fleck.
A golf friend I made through this blog wrote me and said I might be interested in talking to the unlikely man who beat Ben Hogan in an 18-hole playoff to win the 1955 U.S. Open. I called Jack about a year ago and we began an ongoing conversation about the old days on the PGA Tour and other golf subjects.
(Charlie Sifford)
Last April I went to Savannah to meet Jack at the Legends of Golf, where he and about two dozen old Tour pros play a two-day best-ball competition. (The regular Champions Tour event follows.) I was on the course, in the players' dining room, even in the locker room.
(Opposite: Dow Finsterwald)
I probably don't have to tell you it was a tremendous thrill for me. These were players I watched on television growing up, read about in golf magazines and books, and heard stories about, some from my father who saw them in their prime.
(Gene Littler)
I shook their hands, talked to them and watched them play. To slightly alter the slogan, "These guys were good." Don't get me wrong. They still play surprisingly well for age 70 plus. But no matter how they currently play, it's a privilege to spend time with them. They're still ambassadors for this great game.
I'm returning to Legends tomorrow.

Justin Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday, where she discussed her new film "Crescendo" and her son's seemingly ever-increasing tabloid headlines.
Is she alarmed by any of his recent antics?
"Him being 19, you know, I've just gotta let go a little and let him make some of his own decisions," Pattie – who executive produced the new movie "Crescendo," the story of Beethoven's mother and her decision to keep her baby despite her young age and an abusive husband – told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover.
"He's growing up. He's 19. He's not my baby," she added. "I want to be able to take away free will sometimes and be able to do everything for him, but…"
Justin and longtime girlfriend Selena Gomez recently broke up and Pattie said she and Selena have stayed in touch despite the split.
"[Selena's] a sweetheart. I'll always love and respect her," she said. "Whatever Justin chooses – obviously, it's his life."
Adding, "I've talked to her [since the breakup]."
As for Pattie's new short film, the young mom (who got pregnant with Justin at age 17) said she was inspired to make "Crescendo" by the many similarities between her and the main character in the story, Beethoven's mother.
"We both have a musical son and just the fact that she tried to take her own life… I tried to take my life when I was 17," Pattie shared.
The film will help raise money for crisis pregnancy centers, much like the home Pattie resided in during her pregnancy.
"I don't know where we'd be today without that place," she said. "The center that I lived in had to close its doors for lack of funds. I want to make sure that that doesn't happen."

Notes from a day in baseball ...
• 1. Cubs' Slow March To Oblivion. It was a moment frozen in time. If Cubs' pitcher Sean Marshall isn't the slowest person on Earth, he has to be close. In the third inning of the Cubs' game with the Mets on Sunday, Marshall literally jogged from first to third on a double by Juan Pierre, with Pierre actually making it to second before Marshall lumbered into third. As usual, Joe Moragn was on the wrong side of the issue. "No reason for Marshall to try and score on that play," Morgan said confidently. "You don't want your pitcher getting tired, especially when you're ahead 5-0." Of course, Marshall died on third, and the Mets went on to win 13-7, powered by an 11-run sixth inning. Cliff Floyd and Carlos Beltran had grand slams in the inning, and David Wright had a two-run homer; the most runs in a single inning in Mets' history. But just think what would have happened it Cubs' pitchers had tired themselves out.
• 2. The Hunt For Red October. Did we mention that Albert Pujols is back? Pujols was 4-for-5, driving in Chris Duncan three times, as St. Louis won its seventh straight, 11-3 over the Dodgers.
• 3. That's Four Hundred Saves, And Counting. Say what you will about the Yankees, but Mariano Rivera is a studly freak of nature. We also think he looks a lot like a bird, though we can't put a finger on why.
• 4. Red Alert! Boston Lead Down To Half-Game. If the Athletics win a series in Boston, you know it's looking bad for the Sox. Mark Kotsay went 4-for-5 as Oakland won 8-1 on Sunday, taking the series three-games to one.
• 5. Ballpark Frank. We would just like to say that we were huge fans of Frank Catalanotto before it was fashionable. Catalanotto's single in the 11th gave the Blue Jays a 4-3 win over the Mariners, giving Toronto a 5-0 record in extra innings this season.

Chicago Area Sheriff Who Wasted Taxpayer Money Suing Craigslist, Now Strong-Arms Payment Companies To Avoid Backpage
from the that's-not-what-government-is-supposed-to-do dept
Sheriff Dart may continue to use Craigslist's website to identify and pursue individuals who post allegedly unlawful content... But he cannot sue Craigslist for their conduct.Sheriff Dart may not be suing again, but it appears he has not learned his lesson yet. Of course, after being hassled by a number of law enforcement officials with no legal authority, like Dart, Craigslist eventually shut down any section of its site that might have been used for prostitution. And, just as we predicted, the prostitution just moved onward to another site, Backpage.com. And, of course, the same law enforcement officials suddenly freaked out over Backpage -- even though, yet again, the law is pretty clear that Backpage is not liable.
So, now, Thomas Dart is back again, this time without a lawsuit, but using his position as a law enforcement official to strong-arm payment companies into no longer working with Backpage:
MasterCard said on Tuesday that its credit cards can no longer be used to pay for ads on the Backpage.com website, following a request from a Chicago law enforcement official who said the site is used by sex traffickers.The "news conference" on Wednesday was just a chance to say that Visa was in on the ban as well:
Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart said that so-called "escort" ads on Backpage.com and similar sites make up the foundation of the sex trafficking industry, which preys on the young and vulnerable. He has asked both Visa Inc and MasterCard Inc to cut off any association with the Backpage.com "adult" section.
"Backpage has significantly lowered the barrier to entry for would-be traffickers," said Dart, adding he will reveal details of a larger initiative against Backpage at a news conference on Wednesday.
Visa Inc said on Wednesday it is joining MasterCard Inc and American Express Co in barring its credit cards from being used to pay for ads on Backpage.com following a request from a Chicago sheriff who said the site is used by sex traffickers.Once again, Backpage has tons of legitimate uses as a classifieds service, and whatever prostitution that is done on the site should make Dart's life easier by allowing him and his staff to find those engaged in prostitution. I'm curious, did Dart similarly recommend that streetlights be turned off at night so that street walking prostitutes can no longer walk the streets? Why not target the actual prostitutes, rather than the tool that helps you find them?
In the meantime, while this move will get stupid headlines for Dart, it won't change much. Backpage is already accepting Bitcoin, and I can't wait to see Dart's office try to figure out how to pressure "Bitcoin" into no longer working with Backpage.
Ridiculously, Dart now claims this will make traffickers easier to catch. Though he doesn't explain how:
"We have no naive notion that we'll end prostitution, end trafficking, end exploitation of children," Dart said. "What we've wanted all along is to make it more difficult and make (traffickers) easier to catch."So the way you make them "easier" to catch is to cut off their ability to use tools that make it ridiculously easy for you to track down, and instead push them to using tools and systems where you can't track them down? Want to try that one again?
Either way, doesn't it seem highly questionable for a law enforcement official to interfere in the private business agreements of two companies, neither of whom are breaking the law?

It is almost a given the Miami Marlins will finish ahead of the Mets this season, and that was even before the acquisition of Carlos Zambrano. If Zambrano is in shape, physically, mentally and emotionally, he'll make the Marlins better. But, I'm not ready to put a Dream Team label on the Marlins. We've seen how well that works before.
However, the Marlins have made significant upgrades and you can guess the level of enthusiasm. Even so, there's room for caution. Here's why:
* A significant shoulder injury limited Josh Johnson to nine starts last season, and he's clearly their most pronounced concern. Without Johnson, most everything else could be a moot point.
* Mark Buehrle is coming off his 11th straight season of at least 200 innings. That's a lot of wear and tear, and one must assume his old team, the Chicago White Sox, know or suspect something.
* Zambrano has proven to be an out-of-control head case. He's been the dangerous combination of an injured malcontent. Good for the Marlins that the Cubs are picking up nearly his entire salary. Zambrano is a gamble, but if things don't pan out I wonder how he'll respond, especially if Johnson is unavailable.
* Yeah, yeah, Jose Reyes can be an issue. Let's not forget he went 0n the disabled list twice last season and all but shut down his running game during the second half. Reyes put up good numbers in his walk year, but we'll see how motivated he is knowing he's set for life. Reyes also has the burden of living living up to a $100-million contract. He's always been sensitive, and at times moody and let's his concentration wander. He'll be under new found pressure. Let's see how he handles it.
* One would have thought Hanley Ramirez wouldn't have been an issue, that the Marlins would have ran the Reyes deal by him before writing the check. If Ramirez, who has always had some dog in him, is unhappy who can't see him pulling a Santoni0 Holmes? It has to be a matter of time before he wants a new deal for himself.
* Ozzie Guillen is in a new home with high expectations, and moving with him is that big mouth of his. Guillen runs hot-and-cold on the likability meter. His act should play well in the beginning, but if the Marlins struggle, and he can't connect with Ramirez for the greater good, it could get messy in that heat.

Sorry to make a new topic on such a singular thought. However, I felt it needed to be highlighted because I just realized why there has been a whole in my heart since alpha.
Melee magic damage please?
To make this slightly less insular does anyone have a list of all of the elite items and function? I suppose this could go into my unlock thread and it might but it sort of a different concept!

Reviewing the past year of Crispy Cook posts (now nearing the four year anniversary) I thought I would highlight a few favorites, mine and yours, before turning the page, so to speak, in this New Year.
There was a post featuring a Kale Soup recipe from a 100 year old native of the Azores, passed on to me by a bookseller buddy in California. This heirloom recipe was spectacularly tasty and makes a hearty winter entree. I made my version with soy-based chorizo, so it was a vegetarian and gluten-free version. Mmmm. Gotta make that again this month.
I also made two awesome eggplant recipes this year to celebrate the rarity of a whopping garden harvest of these luscious vegetables: Fried Eggplant Salad with Lemon, Shallots and Basil and Eggplant Panini. The latter has become a family favorite, whether made with zucchini or eggplant slices, slathered on pasta or paired up with some slow-roasted plum tomatoes over pasta.
Readers of the Crispy Cook have a different favorite post from 2010, however, and it is my summary of Gluten Free Blogs, which I update and post a couple of times a year. I always keep it updated at the link on the right hand side of this blog, so you can peek at it in between updates here. This list has grown to over 140 GF blogs and there is sure to be some kindred GF spirits out there for any person in need of advice, recipes or menu ideas.
My favorite Gluten Free food find last year was Poha, a flattened rice product from India that cooks up quickly and stays nice and chewy. I also tried cooking with jicama (in a Mexican salad) and squid (in a tomato sauce over pasta) for the first time in 2010 and found both culinary experiments very rewarding. Maybe I could come up with a poha-jicama-calamari dish in the future. Ha.
The best thing I grew in the Crispy kitchen garden (followed closely by a bountiful garlic crop) was the Tiburon pepper. This poblano pepper is a beautiful, glossy dark green and the plants were just enormous and productive. I just gotta remember to wear gloves when preparing them since I got a tingly pepper facial by accident one hot August night.
This past year I had the privilege of guest hosting several wonderful blog events, including Weekend Herb Blogging (3 times), Presto Pasta Nights (twice) and My Legume Love Affair (once). I always learn so much from my fellow bloggers from these events and I thank the hosts and participants for teaching me how to use new foods and recipes to expand our family menu.
I felt that my best written and most interesting post was my take on a Ploughman's Lunch, created in response to reading Nigel Slater's book of essays "Eating for England". This post was my entry for Cook the Books, a bimonthly foodie book club that a couple of blogger friends and I take turns hosting. We love to have new folks join in the fun of reading a book and then blogging up a review and book-inspired dish (or two) (or more). We are currently reading Victoria Abbott Riccardi's "Untangling my Chopsticks: A Culinary Sojourn in Kyoto", if you would like to check it out.
One of the other wonderful books we read for Cook the Books was Madhur Jaffrey's memoir "Climbing the Mango Trees", and I made her toothsome recipe for Green Beans with Onion Paste several times over the summer using yellow wax beans. That was a wonderful recipe find, as was a recipe for a Portabella, Artichoke and Spinach recipe that I tweaked from the back of the rice lasagna noodle package. That dish was so awesome it was requested for our Christmas dinner.
While I am a somewhat reluctant baker, I do get inspired to get floury sometimes and the best sweet treat that I cooked up in the Crispy Kitchen last year was Basler Brunsli. These naturally gluten-free Swiss holiday cookies have a great combination of nut, clove, chocolate and cherry flavors and they were appreciatively received by friends and family in the several batches I made over the holidays.
I reviewed many wonderful books and cookbooks on the Crispy Cook this past year, but my favorite is one I have turned to many times since my initial review, Vanessa Maltin's "Gloriously Gluten-Free: Spicing Up Life with Italian, Asian and Mexican Recipes". This cookbook has gotten me out of many meal-planning ruts and we've all really enjoyed cooking up new recipes from her book. Love those Shrimp Tacos!
I had the great good pleasure of meeting Vanessa in person, as well as some of my other favorite Gluten Free bloggers, at the General Mills headquarters in Minneapolis this past November to inform the food giant about how our families eat, shop and cook gluten-free. The expenses-paid hotel and plane trip was an unexpected opportunity (and one which impressed the socks off my kids), and I really had a great time during the blur of the visit trading stories and advice with my fellow bloggers.
Looking forward to uncovering more great gluten-free food finds, playing around with new veggies and herbs in the garden and communicating with you all in this New Year! I will be playing around with some recipes for gluten-free dinner rolls in response to your responses to a poll I had up in November about what kinds of recipes you would like to see here on the Crispy Cook and feel free to leave a comment below about anything else you'd like to see me research or write about in 2011.
