Come dance with me
The theatre at Te Whaea in Wellington was packed with an eager audience on Friday 18 May for opening night of the New Zealand School of Dance's choreographic season 'On the other hand'. The ten dances flowed into each other easily, distinguishable by each choreographer's theme and movement.
"It is dance that portrays intention and emotion as well as inventive movement," explains artistic coordinator of the show, Victoria Colombus.
"This is a highly talented and motivated group of dancers that have been inspired to create something unique. Each of the dance works relates to influences or personal experiences that are significant at this point in their lives" adds Victoria. "'On the Other Hand' will resonate, it will surprise and move the audience."

Some humorous narration and playful dances created a light overlay to some pretty serious subject matter, including power plays in relationships, mind-numbing attraction to media, and the boundaries between reality and imagination.
A sparsely-populated stage was utilised to create interest using different space and disappearing acts into a seemingly magic cupboard. Each choreographer's choice of music generated a dramatic background for the dancers to play up to.
The costumes varied for each dancer, providing interest and movement without taking focus from the dancers and their amazing skills. One thing I did note was the dancers' lack of shoes and knee pads, which were a staple if you were throwing yourself around so much when I did dance growing up.
There was serious dedication to the moves and characters that sometimes were a little unnerving through their exploration of the mind. Some of the dances made nature seem so very unnatural, and created thought-provoking statements without speaking a single word.
On the other hand runs from 18–26 May at Te Whaea, and is definitely worth viewing if you are around Wellington over the next week.
Event listing details:
New Zealand School of Dance Choreographic Season 2012 ON THE OTHER HAND: Ten new works of expressive dance

Complete With Raincover
The Nimbly is suitable for children from 6 months of age, it is a lightweight compact pushchair that is perfect for those trips out and about.
The pushchair comes complete with a multi reclining seat and front suspension offering your little-one a smooth ride, it also has a convenient one-hand fold system which allows you to fold the pushchair in a quick and easy movement even while holding the Baby.
Brilliant pushchair, the only con is that the seat is narrow, although this is also a pro as the whole thing is narrow, so useful at getting round narrow spaces.
very quick delivery!
We decided to buy this pram, for our holiday for our 16 month old. Our older Pram system was becoming too bulky for travelling in the boot of our car. This pram is so easy to use, and my daughter is more than happy to climb in! Thanks kiddicare for your speedy service! We will tell all our friends
a really good quality pushchair for the money i have 3 children and had many pushchairs! this is lightweight and easy to use very convient for traveling on public transport too and as always fantastic delivery and service from kiddicare
Bought this for my 7 month old daughter as her previous travel system pram didn't sit up all the way and was bulky. Read a lot of reviews before settling on this one. It's fab colour, lightweight and the raincover and shopping basket are great. The only con for me is that it doesn't recline fully.

It was the hard smack against the rock that actually shook reality into Jinijz. He had been flying so fast and so long his mind had gone fuzzy. All his energy was in the pound of his wings. Jinijz was a flyer. His whole life he was more comfortable in the sky, could fly endlessly. The fact that he had flown through several shifts of the outer moons should not tire him. It never had before. But then he was carrying more than he ever had before. And he was fleeing.
As he hit the wall of stone he squawked unintentionally. Quickly he pulled his thin black outer lips over the small beak that let the noise through. He folded his thin black membrane wings closed for a few seconds allowing his body to drop alongside the cliff he only now noticed. The heavy bag that hung from his talons swung a bit. He pushed away from the boulders. With a snap his bat like wings opened again and the quick decent stopped.
Jinijz glided. He took a deep breath of the air tasting the difference. It was only then he swiveled his head right and left and back again to look up to the dark sky above him. He saw the tear. It was that place between the skies he must have flown through. As the council predicted the thread between the worlds ripped.
With a deliberate pull of his talons he brought his bag to the dark purple feathers of his body. His flight was ending. He would land and check the bag. The place he had ended was not as important as his cargo. Slowing his flight and allowing his tired wings to quiver, Jinijz looked for a ledge or flat ground among the mountain peaks. To his eyes the descent went on and on. He was unsure if there was a place between the rock points. The flight and the battle that caused his departure was catching up to him. Jinijz had to stop.
Just as he realized his efforts had run their course he spotted a patch of green and yellow. With the tilt of his left wing he breezed to the different light. He hovered above the grass covered spot making sure he judge the edge strong enough and secure. Slowly, carefully, his talons touched ground.
He shifted the bag tenderly allowing it to settle to his side. With great effort he calmed his beating blood and his shallow breaths. For a few seconds thats all he did, just breath. When he body accepted the rest he hopped to the bag and with his long thin talons he untied the bag.
Inside he carefully inspected each egg. With his beak he rolled the first one gently. It was the biggest and the lightest in color, an oblong shape with a white shell and very light blue lines all around it. Next he looked at the bright yellow perfectly round egg that was half its size. With a gentle nudge of his crown he separated it from the even smaller shinny black egg with a spot on the side that was almost flat. The two pink eggs rolled away from the other but Jinijzs quick claws brought them back.
Jinijz inspected each egg. There were no cracks, no marks, no drainage from any. Spreading them all inside his membrane wings tucked them close to his feather chest and rested.
Part two written by Fallenreaper
Muscles and sinew tensed, a slight wind ruffled yellow fur striped with thick lines running lengthwise across the body. Silted white pupils upon black eye balls took in a spectrum of red while set in hunting mode, a long eared meal just a pounce distance from her lithe, bony figure. Her thin stringy tongue flicked to taste the scent drenching the air, coarse sand paper pads studded with retractable claws as her head slowly bobbed side to side, surveying the prey below her perch. Nyr, a name self dubbed by the sound she made nightly, shrank into herself with four paws digging into the gnarled stone tree. Her hind legs spring loaded to fling herself at just the right moment.
Hunger game had been scarce of late as it was the Waning period in her world. The Kaze trees, towering giant mushrooms of vibrant reds and yellows with tuffs of fluffy stalks growing from their caps, had held their spore bounty to this world longer than ever before. Inside Nyr and every living creature was a sense of dread, an instinct that told of the world changing. Change meant only the strong survived.
The long eared animal, black empty eyes glinted for signs of predators as he sucked through a straw like tongue his lucky find: hovering moss colored spores hidden beneath a rock. Long black digger claws lifted it, his rabbit ears poised forward and back, twisting to strain any tiny sound to betray anothers presence. Nothing, not an even a squeak. Eagerly and convinced of his safety, he sucked up the bobbing spores that dusted the air in front of him.
If Nyr had human lips, her smile would have sent a shiver down the animals spine. It would be quick, painless as her body leapt into the ground unsheathing all five front claws right into the scrawny back. The creature was half her size, a rabbit to her bob cat sized body with blood pooled near the inflicted wounds. An ear piercing echoed and its large front claws swiped at her foreleg, a red line with searing pain caused her to release darting back a small distance between. Her two lungs bellowed out with a yowl of torture from the wound, blood swelled at tis edges with every movement, her four large dagger teeth shot out of black lips into a snarl from the small snout. Then the maw bottom cracked and widened tipped with bone hooks, no gum tissue at all. Just exposed bone that fixed into a flexible fleshy joint. A tail, long and ridged, shows off all the bone intentions beneath the skin like a whip shifting dust behind.
Fine green hairs lengthened and rattled from her sides, making her appear wider then she truly was and each strand was sensitive to touch telling her how close something came to her fragile form. Unlike most creatures upon this world, Nyrs body lacked the strength to up hold to physical punishment often killing her members of her species in a single well placed blow. A sound rippled though her small body. She was hungry and the animal, a Boro which was a stitched together animal of an anteater and rabbit with lightless eyes of black, was wounded ready to be put out of its misery

Jinijz woke to the sound of a shrieking howl. It was laced with pain but also triumph. He quickly adjusted his eyes and scanned the area following the wails. Careful not to move at all he made a mental count of his wards, the eggs, by concentrating on the feel of each against his feathered breast. Then he focused his eyes on the noise.
Below him was a hunt almost completed. There was no question of predator and prey. The cat like creature held the advantage even if it was the one who screamed in discomfort. Jinjz watched waiting to see if the kill was clean and for sustenance, as it appeared. Jinijz knew even though he could not explain, that sometimes events are not as they appear. Or maybe it was more that he did not assign a judgment or conclusion to an action, not following a complex line of cause and effect. The only reason he watched the kill was to judge his own safety. But the cat seemed intent upon its feeding and Jinijz did not feel its attention. That was fine with Jnijz.
Just as his interest began to wander he felt a slight shake in the rock underneath him. Just a rumble just a shift but the unsteady movement of the ledge he rested on startled him. Because most of his time had always been in the skies he had never sat upon hardness that moved. He could not surmised if all the rock shifted or just the ledge he had chosen to rest upon.
He pulled the bag closer and with his beak and claws he opened it quickly and began to roll the eggs back inside. As the largest egg and the two pink ones slid easing back into his caring sack, a small shake of the ledge shifted again. Quickly Jinijz shoved the yellow one in but just as he was reaching for the last egg, the black one that was not as round or rollable as the others, jumped from the ledge. Jinjiz took hold of the top of the sack and opened his wings. He watched as the egg bounced over the edge and fell.
Ready to fly after it Jinijz eyes followed. The egg as if in slow motion flipped over once as it dropped. It landed on the same flat spot that the cat feed. Jinijz stayed still with his wings open wide. The cat might not notice it instead feasting on its kill. But as if to make that improbable the egg began to shake and crack.

Haiti: An Anesthetist's 10-day MissionFebruary 3, 2010Haiti 2010 © Ron Haviv/VII Dr. Philippe Touchard, an anesthetist, is head of emergencies at the Pasteur Hospital in Langon, near Bordeaux. Forty-eight hours after the January 12 earthquake, he flew to Haiti to reinforce MSF's surgical teams in Port-au-Prince. Here are exerpts of his journal of this short mission.
Day 1, Wednesday, January 13: Just a few hours to decide
We leave by foot, in the heat, picking our way through the rubble. I cross this familiar city, and I have the impression, six days after the disaster, that it seems strangely normal. Life has re-started, the streets are full of people, traffic jams. There is neither silence nor cries, just the hum of city life. Then I see the collapsed houses, crushed under the weight of their roofs. In the streets, passers-by ask us for masks. They say they are scared of epidemics, but probably they also want to escape from the corpses smell. They ask what we've brought, and they are disappointed to learn it is a hospital. They want food. On arrival at Trinité hospital, I see for myself why it was so urgent to get the inflatable hospital through."
It's complicated and frustrating not having all the equipment at hand. I saw a tetanus case, a child of 10 years old. She was convulsing on the first day, and stiff, with spasms, by the second. Tetanus is hard to treat if you're not properly equipped. You need to administer a sedative to relax the patient, and then monitor her really closely, as her breathing can stop. This patient was on oxygen, and we monitored her as best we could, but it was a hit-and-miss affair. We needed a properly equipped intensive care unit, where there weren't so many risks. The worst, the most annoying thing, was that we had breathing apparatus in the cargo plane, but as we'd been delayed, it wasn't yet installed. I heard afterwards that the little girl had been transferred to another, better equipped facility, so she's sure to still be alive".
All the medical staff has the right reflexes, which is hugely precious in massive emergencies like this. For example, when a patient refuses an amputation, we leave the Haitian Trinité medical staff to explain why the procedure is necessary, to reassure him or her. They soon bring patients around to the idea, speaking to them in Creole. As Trinité was a trauma center, we'd already dealt with this type of situation. The staff is trained to take the patient's consent into consideration and manage this sort of difficulty. We also set up systematic vaccination against tetanus in the casualty unit, integrating protocols into the care, which means that despite these horrendous conditions, we can maintain medical quality. I'll go back before the year is over. There's so much work left to do. The trauma center was already busy before the earthquake, so just imagine it now. When I was crossing Port-au-Prince, on my way out, I noticed that nothing seemed to have changed compared to when I arrived. No tents, people were sleeping outside, in public parks, in the streets. No or few distributions, the inhabitants were still hunting around for food. And at the airport, 100 metres or so away from the town center, I saw row after row of aid supplies, still sitting on the tarmac. This aid had reached Port-au-Prince."

Abstract: BACKGROUND: While the importance of promoting equity to achieve health is now recognised, the health gap continues to increase globally between and within countries. The description that follows looks at how the Cape Town Equity Gauge initiative, part of the Global Equity Gauge Alliance (GEGA) is endeavouring to tackle this problem. We give an overview of the first phase of our research in which we did an initial assessment of health status and the socio-economic determinants of health across the subdistrict health structures of Cape Town. We then describe two projects from the second phase of our research in which we move from research to action. The first project, the Equity Tools for Managers Project, engages with health managers to develop two tools to address inequity: an Equity Measurement Tool which quantifies inequity in health service provision in financial terms, and a Equity Resource Allocation Tool which advocates for and guides action to rectify inequity in health service provision. The second project, the Water and Sanitation Project, engages with community structures and other sectors to address the problem of diarrhoea in one of the poorest areas in Cape Town through the establishment of a community forum and a pilot study into the acceptability of dry sanitation toilets. METHODS: A participatory approach was adopted. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The first phase, the collection of measurements across the health subdistricts of Cape Town, used quantitative secondary data to demonstrate the inequities. In the Equity Tools for Managers Project further quantitative work was done, supplemented by qualitative policy analysis to study the constraints to implementing equity. The Water and Sanitation Project was primarily qualitative, using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. These were used to gain an understanding of the impact of the inequities, in this instance, inadequate sanitation provision. RESULTS: The studies both demonstrate the value of adopting the GEGA approach of research to action, adopting three pillars of assessment and monitoring; advocacy; and community empowerment. In the Equity Tools for Managers Project study, the participation of managers meant that their support for implementation was increased, although the failure to include nurses and communities in the study was noted as a limitation. The development of a community Water and Sanitation Forum to support the Project had some notable successes, but also experienced some difficulties due to lack of capacity in both the community and the municipality. CONCLUSION: The two very different, but connected projects, demonstrate the value of adopting the GEGA approach, and the importance of involvement of all stakeholders at all stages. The studies also illustrate the potential of a research institution as informed 'outsiders', in influencing policy and practice. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/171 Files in this item: 1

If your New Year's resolution involved being more adventurous in the kitchen, hold on to your toques -- Charles Phan is opening up his highly anticipated first cookbook, "Vietnamese Home Cooking," for you courageous, budding culinarians.
Phan is the acclaimed chef and owner of The Slanted Door, a modern Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco, California.
"These dishes all have memories for me and my family and have become favorites for one reason or another. Don't be afraid to experiment with different cuisines at home, these are all very easy to make, " Phan said. "Go a step further with our wine or cocktail suggestions and everyone will think you're a professional and might not want to leave."
Five Vietnamese Recipes to Try At Home: Charles Phan
Editor's Note: The wine pairings are by Chaylee Priete, the Wine Director of The Slanted Door Group. And, the cocktail suggestions are by Erik Adkins, the Bar Director of The Slanted Door Group.
1. Fried wontons with spicy sauce
"I grew up eating wontons either with soup or as snacks like this one. They are crunchy, yet delicate. They are great for guests of all ages. I added spicy sauce as a kick, and those who like spiciness can ask for more."
Wine pairing suggestion: Jakoby Pur 2010 Riesling Kabinett (Mosel, Germany)
This is purity (no pun intended) incarnate. The length, zip and minerality of the wine doesn't overpower the wontons while the small amount of residual sugar cleans the palate and urges you to eat more. A father and son team (Pure Jakoby) making crystalline Rieslings.
Cocktail suggestion: French 75 (Cognac or gin, lemon, sugar and sparkling wine)
This cocktail is essentially a Collins lengthened with sparkling wine rather than soda water. The acidity and the bubbles really cut through fried food. There is a hint of sweetness that will take some of the heat off from the spicy sauce.
2. Spring rolls
"My mom's creation of homemade mayo makes them moist and irresistible. It fills up better if your guests are super hungry. Of course, don't forget the peanut sauce."
Wine pairing suggestion: Dr. Nagler Sekt Brut NV (Rheingau, Germany)
The spring rolls are bright fresh, crunchy and full of zippy mint. Choose a wine that matches all that freshness. This sparkling wine composed 100% of Riesling is the perfect aperitif and match. It's dry and minerally with a great liveliness to refresh the palate, but it doesn't overpower the summertime freshness of the rolls.
Cocktail suggestion: Bumble Bee (Jamaican rum, lime, honey, egg white)
This frothy, funky and honeyed cocktail can handle the enormous flavor of the spring roll's peanut sauce.
3. Shrimp and sweet potato fritters
"This is the best of both worlds. You have fried yam (an American favorite -- think French fries!) and fried shrimp (an Asian favorite -- think tempura!)."
Wine pairing suggestion: Wind Gap Pinot Gris 2010 (Sonoma, California)
Unlike many skin-fermented wines, this is soft and lush and without any harsh tannins. A gorgeous rose color with notes of unripened nectarine, it perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the yams.
Cocktail suggestion: Hotel Nacional Special
This is a lush Daiquiri variation from the National Hotel in Havana. We use a fruity Haitian rum, pineapple syrup and apricot brandy. This cocktail pairs well with the sweet shrimp and yams.
4. Hue dumplings
"These dumplings are like mung beans gummy bears. The texture and the sweetness of mung beans with the sauce make this snack my family's favorite. Serve them warm by putting one on each soup spoon with flavored soy sauce."
Wine pairing suggestion: Bermejos Malvasia Seco 2011 (Canary Islands, Spain)
My favorite part about these dumplings is the delicacy of their texture -- silky and slightly chewy in contrast with the surprisingly sweet mung bean interior. The Bermejos Malvasia from the Canary Island of Lanzarotte is rife with minerality, a touch of carbon dioxide and a bit of implied sweetness that you would get from a just picked pineapple or guava.
Cocktail suggestion: Blanc and Blue Martini
This is a classic martini with four parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth and 1 part blanc vermouth, orange bitters and lemon oil. Blanc vermouth is a sweet white vermouth that adds body to the cocktail while the dry vermouth adds a nutty quality. This is a subtle and delicate drink that pairs well with the slippery and chewy texture of the hue dumplings.
5. Mama's meatballs
"If meats are essential for your party, you will be very popular with this dish. I like to hand chop the meat because great texture is essential for this dish. You can roll them into small, bite sizes to serve alongside crunchy bread or baguettes."
Wine pairing suggestion: Leitz 2010 Rüdesheimer Magdalenenkreuz Riesling Spätlese (Rheingau, Germany)
The lush texture of this wine -- fall golden apples, wet stone and citrus blossom -- cuts right through the richness of the pork and the density of the spice, finishing with Johannes Leitz's signature acidity.
Cocktail suggestion: Carter Beats the Devil (Reposado tequila, mezcal, lime, agave, bird's eye chili tincture)
This drink is named after Carter the Great, a notable 1920s era, Oakland-based illusionist. His greatest trick was Carter Beats the Devil. This drink is bright, smoky and spicy. The smoke and spice compliment the rich, fatty texture of the meatballs and the acidity keeps the palate primed for more food.
Hoi An Wontons with Spicy Tomato Sauce
Serves 8 to 10 as a snack or appetizer
For the tomato sauce
2 Tbsp canola oil
3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
2 tsp minced garlic
4 Thai hot chiles stemmed and minced
2 Tbsp rice wine
2 pounds ripe tomatoes (such as Roma or Early Girl), cored and diced
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 Tbsp fish sauce
50 square wonton wrappers (1-pound package)
For the wontons
Pork-and-shrimp wonton filling
Cornstarch, for dusting
Canola oil, for deep-frying
Cooking Directions
To make the tomato sauce, in a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until light golden brown. Add garlic and chiles and cook, stirring occasionally, 45 seconds more, until aromatic. Stir in the rice wine, tomatoes and stock and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat so the mixture is at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes, to blend the flavors.
Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the fish sauce. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and process until smooth. Keep warm. (The sauce can be made a day ahead, cooled, covered and refrigerated; reheat before using.)
To form the wontons, place a wonton wrapper on a work surface. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water and place 1 teaspoon of the ground pork in the center. Top with a second wonton wrapper, pressing to enclose the filling and form a square, like a ravioli. Force out as much air as possible as you seal the edges to prevent the wontons from puffing up when you fry them. Transfer the finished wontons to a baking sheet or large tray lightly dusted with cornstarch. Repeat until you have used up all of the filling.
Pour the oil to a depth of 2 inches into a wok or high-sided pot and heat over high heat to 375°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and place near the stove. Place a second rimmed baking sheet alongside. Preheat the oven to 200°F.
When the oil is ready, add one-third of the wontons to the oil and fry for 3 minutes, until deep golden brown and crisp. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain briefly, then transfer to the second sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining wontons in two batches, always allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.
Arrange the wontons on a platter and serve immediately, accompanied by the tomato sauce. Dip the wontons in the sauce and eat.
Pork and Shrimp Spring Rolls
Makes 10 rolls, enough to serve 10 people as an appetizer
10 ounces dried rice vermicelli
15 medium-size shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces boneless pork shoulder
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup shallot oil or canola oil
1/4 tsp kosher salt
30 fresh mint leaves
1 head red leaf lettuce, leaves separated
10 (12-inch) rice paper rounds
Cooking Directions
Bring a saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice vermicelli and cook until they are tender yet still have some bite, according to package directions. Drain the noodles, rinse them under cold running water until cool, then rinse under very hot running water before rinsing them a second time under cold running water. This cold-hot-cold rinse prevents the noodles from sticking together and breaking. Set the noodles aside.
Refill the saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes, until bright pink. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a colander and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Cut each shrimp in half lengthwise and set aside.
Return the water to a boil and add the pork. Decrease the heat so the water is at a simmer and cook the pork for 20 minutes, until it is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and poke it with a chopstick; the juices should run clear. Let cool completely, then cut against the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices. (The meat can be cooked a day ahead, covered and refrigerated. Slice just before using.)
To make the shallot mayonnaise, put the egg yolk in a bowl, and set the bowl on top of a dry kitchen towel. Pour the shallot (or canola) oil into a measuring cup. Whisk the yolk well, then begin adding the oil, one droplet at a time at first, until the mixture thickens. Continue to add the oil, drop by drop and whisking constantly, until the mixture is well emulsified and thick. Add the remaining oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly, until all of it has been incorporated. The mayonnaise will be very thick. Whisk in the salt and set aside.
Put the shrimp, pork, lettuce, mint and mayonnaise within easy reach of your work surface. Fill a large bowl with very hot water. Working with 1 rice paper round at a time, dip it into the hot water until pliable. This will take only about 5 seconds. Remove the round from the water and spread it flat on the work surface.
Lay 1 lettuce leaf over the bottom one-third of the rice paper round, flattening it to crack the rib. Spread a generous teaspoon of the mayonnaise over the lettuce, then top with 3 mint leaves, arranged end-to-end, and a few slices of pork. Top with about 1/2 cup of the noodles.
Fold in the left and right sides of the rice paper, then lift the bottom edge up and over the filling. Tightly roll the rice paper away from you one turn, enclosing the filling completely. Arrange 3 pieces of shrimp, cut side up and end-to-end, in a row on the rice paper, then roll another turn to enclose the shrimp. Continue rolling as tightly as possible, tucking in the sides, until you have formed a compact cylinder. Place the roll on a platter or baking sheet and cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep moist. Repeat with the remaining rice paper and filling ingredients. The rolls can be made up to 2 hours in advance. Refrigerate them, covered with the damp towel, until serving.
Just before serving, cut each roll crosswise into thirds and arrange on a platter. Serve with peanut sauce (recipe below) in small bowls for dipping.
Peanut Sauce
Makes about 2 cups
1 cup sweet (glutinous) rice
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
2 cloves garlic
1 Thai chile, stemmed
3 Tbsp red miso
3 Tbsp ketchup
3 Tbsp canola oil
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp vegetarian stir-fry sauce
1 1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Cooking Directions
Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear, then transfer to a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Then uncover, fluff with a fork, and let cool to room temperature. Alternatively, the rice can be prepared in a rice cooker.
In a food processor, combine the cooled rice, peanuts, garlic, chile, miso, ketchup, canola oil, sugar, stir-fry sauce, lemon juice, and sesame oil and process until the mixture is a fine paste. Thin with water (about 1/2 cup) until the texture is smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. The sauce will keep, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
Shrimp and Sweet Potato Fritters
Makes 18 fritters; serves 6 as a snack
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and light green parts only
1 egg lightly beaten
1 cup soda water
1/4 cup ice water, or as needed
18 medium-sized shrimp preferably from the Louisiana Gulf, peeled and deveined
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3 by 1/4-inch batons (about 5 cups)
Canola oil, for frying
18 large red lettuce leaves (for serving)
6 mint sprigs (for serving)
18 perilla leaves (optional)
1/2 cup flavored fish sauce (for serving; recipe below)
Cooking Directions
In a bowl, combine the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, turmeric, cayenne, scallions, egg, soda water and ice water and mix just until blended. The batter will be a little lumpy; do not overmix. The texture should be like a slightly thin pancake batter. Add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if it is too thick.
Place the shrimp in a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and the black pepper, and toss to mix. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter over the shrimp and toss to coat. Add the sweet potatoes to the bowl holding the remaining batter and stir to mix evenly.
Pour the oil to a depth of 1/2-inch into a cast-iron frying pan or wok and heat over high heat to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels, and place a large wire rack on a second baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 250°F.
When the oil is hot, place 5 battered sweet potato batons, side by side, in the oil, taking care to keep them close together. Place 4 or 5 more sweet potato batons on top, perpendicular to the first layer, creating a platform for the shrimp. Make 2 more sweet potato platforms alongside the first platform. Fry the sweet potato platforms for 1 minute, then top each platform with 1 battered shrimp. Spoon a small amount of hot oil over the shrimp to anchor them to the sweet potato batons.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown on the first side. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully turn each fritter and cook, shrimp side down, for 1 minute more, until the batter is just set on the second side.Using the tongs or slotted spoon, carefully transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain briefly, then move them to the wire rack and slip them into the oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining sweet potato batons and shrimp, always allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.
Arrange the lettuce, mint and perilla on a platter. Pour the flavored fish sauce (recipe below) into small bowls for dipping. Transfer the fritters to a second platter and season lightly with salt. To eat, wrap a fritter in a lettuce leaf with the herb leaves and dip into the fish sauce.
Flavored Fish Sauce
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 Thai chiles, stemmed and minced
Cooking Directions
In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, sugar, vinegar or lemon juice, and ½ cup water and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the garlic and chiles and stir to combine. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 week if made with vinegar or up to 2 days if made with lemon juice.
Hue Rice Dumplings
Makes about 80 bite-size dumplings; serves 6 to 10 as a snack or appetizer
For the filling
6 Tbsp dried mung beans, soaked in cold water to cover overnight
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 cup fried shallots, minced
1/4 cup shallot or canola oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp sugar
For the dough
2 cups tapioca starch, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup rice flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp shallot oil or canola oil
For the flavored soy sauce
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp sugar
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 to 2 Thai chiles stemmed and minced
Cooking Directions
Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a two-tiered bamboo steamer in the wok or on the rim of the stockpot. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Line the steamer with a round of parchment. Cover and bring to a boil over high. Drain the mung beans and spread in parchment-lined steamer. Cover and steam until pale yellow and soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate until cool.
Put the sesame seeds in a food processor and pulse until ground. Add the cooled mung beans, fried shallots, 1/4 cup shallot or canola oil, salt and sugar and pulse until well blended. Set the filling aside.
To make the dough, in a small saucepan or a kettle, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the tapioca starch, cornstarch, rice flour, sugar and salt. When the water is boiling, gradually add it to the flour mixture while stirring constantly. Then add the other 1/4 cup shallot or canola oil and knead it into the flour mixture with your hands until a smooth dough forms. The texture will be sticky and gooey, like taffy or melted mozzarella.
Dust a work surface with 1 tablespoon tapioca starch. Transfer the dough to the floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until it is smooth and soft, dusting the surface with additional tapioca starch as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking. It will have the texture and appearance of modeling clay. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and cover them with plastic wrap.
Remove 1 portion of the dough from under the plastic wrap, leaving the others covered. Dust your work surface with tapioca starch and, using your palms, roll the dough back and forth on the work surface into a log 13 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Cut the log crosswise into 13 even pieces. Cover the pieces with plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining dough portions, making sure to cover all of the pieces as they are cut.
Lightly oil 2 rimmed baking sheets. To fill the dumplings, lightly flour your fingers with tapioca starch and, working with one piece of dough at a time (keeping the rest covered) roll the dough into a ball. Gently press the ball into a round about 2 inches wide.
Place 1/2 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the dough round, fold the round in half, and pinch the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces and filling. As the dumplings are formed, place them on the prepared baking sheets and cover with plastic wrap.
Meanwhile, arrange as many dumplings as will fit in a single layer in each parchment-lined bamboo tier, spacing them so they don't touch. Return the water to a boil, then cover and steam. Cover and steam the dumplings for 6 to 8 minutes, until translucent and slightly shiny.
While the dumplings are steaming, make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, the vinegar, and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the garlic and chiles.
When the dumplings are ready, remove the bamboo tiers from over the water and, using chopsticks or your fingers, carefully transfer them to a warmed large platter. Drizzle the dumplings with shallot or canola oil and serve the flavored soy sauce alongside. Repeat the steaming process with the remaining dumplings, replacing the parchment rounds for each new batch.
Mama's Meatballs
Makes about 48 2-inch meatballs
For the sauce
1 pound boneless pork shoulder, finely hand-chopped (see below), or coarsely ground pork shoulder
4 cups chicken stock or water
3/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup minced garlic
1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tsp ground annatto seeds
2 cups finely chopped shallots (about 5 large shallots)
2 cups finely diced yellow onions
1 cup stir-fry sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 1/2 Tbsp light soy sauce
For the meatballs
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, finely hand-chopped, or coarsely ground
1 1/2 cups finely diced water chestnuts or jicama
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup finely diced shallots
1/2 cup chopped scallions, white and light green parts only
cup fried shallots, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp light soy sauce
Cooking Directions
To make the sauce, in a large, wide, high-sided pot, combine the pork and 2 cups of the stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat so the liquid is at a steady simmer and simmer for 15 minutes, skimming any scum that forms on the surface. Remove from the heat, let cool slightly and transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Set aside.
Return the empty pot to the stove top, add the oil and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Add the red pepper flakes and annatto and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds more. Add the shallots and onions and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the stir-fry sauce, ketchup and soy sauce and stir to combine. Pour in the pureed pork mixture and the remaining 2 cups stock and mix well.
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, then decrease the heat until the liquid is at a steady simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
While the sauce is simmering, make the meatballs. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Using your hands, gently but thoroughly mix the ingredients together. Take care not to overwork the mixture or the meatballs will be tough. Form the mixture into loosely packed balls about 2 inches in diameter.
Add the meatballs to the simmering sauce. The meatballs can be crowded in the pan but they should all be below the surface of the sauce. Cook, without stirring, for 45 minutes, until they are cooked through. Do not let the liquid boil, or the meatballs will break apart. To test if the meatballs are ready, retrieve a meatball and cut it open; it should no longer be pink in the center.
Remove from the heat and serve right away. Or, if you're making the meatballs in advance, let cool and then reheat them fully in the sauce before serving. Cooling them in the sauce will prevent them from drying out.

Surrounded by Apples? Time to Make Apple Pie
It doesn't seem to matter if your autumn unfolds under a dome of endless sun or amid falling leaves, this is the time of year we crave apples, cinnamon and all its amazing variations.
But exactly how to start? There are as many takes on the traditional apple pie recipe as there are apple varieties times many thousands. You say "a mix of tart apples" and I say "Golden Delicious all the way, baby." Some love it heavily spiced, others with just a hint of cinnamon.
Then there's the traditional top-and-bottom pie crust vs. crumb or galette, lattice or plain. The store-bought pie crust vs. scratch smackdown. (And we can't even go to that other place, you know, where people eat their apple pie with cheddar cheese. I doubt the government shutdown is as divisive. Absolutely delicious by the way—and my father's preferred method.)
So hoping for some new inspiration this year, I turned to Patch readers for their advice. You answered the call in so many amazing ways!
Here's how your fellow Patch readers are celebrating all the fine work of Johnny Appleseed this year:
Susan Cassidy, a Newton, MA Patch reader, had me captivated with her tale of Grandma Prouty's apple pie recipe and how it brings her friends together year after year. You have to read this!
Andrea Munk of Marlboro, NJ, also honors grandmothers everywhere with her Grandma Bubi's Apple Pie. The amazing thing here is sour cream in the pie crust. Is this a thing I've missed all these years? I cannot wait to try this.
Jason Shriner, aka the Aubergine Chef and a Manassas VA Patch reader who has been featured in Rachael Ray's magazine, shares a great video that walks you through the lattice top step-by-step. Do not be afraid of the lattice top!
Christian Stoll, Petaluma, CA Patch reader from San Mateo gets our "most inventive addition" award. He created a pie recipe that mixes dried cranberries in with the apples. Love it!
Hope this is enough inspiration to get you digging out the pie tins...Let us know how if you tried any of these recipes and share your own secrets and successes in the comments below.
PatchCooks is a new nationally crowd-sourced feature that gathers favorite recipes from Patch readers coast to coast each week. Share your ideas, photos and recipes on Twitter with #PatchCooks or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

May is National Bike Month! The League of American Bicyclists is promoting Bike-to-Work Week from May 17-21 and Bike-to-Work Day on Friday, May 21.
Cycling is a great way to avoid traffic and a fun way to get around. It's also far less stressful on the environment than driving. Plus it's good for your health. While it may not be possible (or safe) for some of us to ride a bicycle to the office, we've got the entire month to celebrate two-wheeling as an alternative to motorized vehicles.
The Kansas City Star Editorial Board writes:
The goal of the week that began Monday and runs through Friday isn't to turn the city into a car-free zone. But it is to encourage everyone to make a trip or two without a car. Walk or ride a bike to the grocery. Commute by bus or bike on a sunny day.
Here's a look at some Bike Week events happening in cities around the U.S. Will you ride your bike to work or on errands this week? Does your city make it's streets accessible for cyclists to share the road?

I'm in Oahu to speak at the NextLevel conference, my second Hawai'ian island trip in all (I visited the Big Island in 2001). When one lands in Honolulu, the first place you go to is your hotel, usually in Waikiki. While it's certainly beautiful with scenic island decor, you feel enveloped by tourism and civilization... The high rises remind you that this is Hawaii's most populated island, and the 11th largest metro area in the United States.
This Thursday April 22nd is Earth Day and Disney is celebrating with the release of their newest documentary extraordinaire - "OCEANS".
Nearly three—quarters of the Earth's surface is covered by water and OCEANS chronicles the mysteries that lie beneath. Directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud dive deep into the very waters that sustain all of mankind—exploring the harsh reality and the amazing creatures that live within. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan and featuring spectacular never before seen imagery captured by the latest underwater technologies, OCEANS offers an unprecedented look beneath the sea in a powerful motion picture that unfolds on April 22, 2010.
The average American home has 10,000 items in it. We need storage units and cabinets in just about every room to house all these things. But you would need an Olympic-size swimming pool to store all the water it takes to make what we so casually call our stuff.
In fact, if you were to release all the water in all the items in our homes, at least 200,000 gallons would gush out like in some mad scene in a disaster movie. Americans expend a lot of water spending $78.5 billion a year on furniture. Heres why: Most of the furniture we own (38 percent) is made of wood. Just 1 board foot of lumber takes about 5.4 gallons of water to make. Wood, of course, comes from trees, and last time I checked, it took water to grow trees.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), more than 8 million tons of clothing and footwear enter the waste stream annually, and only a fraction is reused or recycled. That means, on average, you and I each throw away 54 pounds of textiles per year. Out the door with those clothes go tens of thousands of gallons of water.
But were not throwing away as much as were buying. So in addition to piling up perfectly good clothing in landfills, were also stockpiling our wardrobes. Most American women, for example, have more pairs of jeans than there are days of the week! And blue jeans are far from water lean.
Every new pair of jeans costs nearly 3,000 gallons of water to make. Given that 450 million pairs are sold annually in the United States, that comes to nearly 1.4 trillion gallons of waterthe equivalent of half of Californias entire yearly urban water demand.
The need for clean toilets and sanitation around the world can be truly over whelming. Today, 2.5 billion people on the planet lack adequate sanitation. According to UNICEF, some 665 million people in India practice open defecation. This lack of sanitation has horrific consequences. Diarrheal diseases kill more children in the developing world than HIV/AIDS. That's almost 5,000 children dying every day. According to UNICEF, 1,000 children die each day in India from diarrheal diseases.

Thirty Seconds To Mars to send music into space
From the band's name to the single's title, Thirty Seconds to Mars' mission to send a song into space makes perfect sense.
The group, fronted by Jared Leto, is sending along the first copy of their new single "Up in the Air" on a SpaceX rocket's launch, MTV reports.
The launch is scheduled to happen at 10:10 a.m. ET on Friday, with the rocket traveling from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to dock at the International Space Station. "Up in the Air," the first single from Thirty Seconds to Mars' upcoming album, will be nestled in a Dragon cargo capsule that'll include more than 1,200 pounds of scientific experiments and equipment. Fans can watch the launch on NASA's website.
Thirty Seconds to Mars will then head down to NASA mission control in Houston to host a live Q&A on their own website, during which they'll play "Up in the Air." The single will be released via digital retailers the following day.

This hotel was very nice, well maintained, on a beautiful stretch of beach. The room was more than adequate, service excellent and friendly, plenty of... convenient parking, and food in the restaurant delicious. However, we paid considerably more per night than our friends at the Intercontinental, and saw significant other differences. Breakfast was included there and not here, there were two freshwater swimming pools there, one with a bar in it, plus a saltwater lagoon complete with coral and fish, it was closer to downtown and the airport, and they got a significant discount for a day room on our return to Pape'ete for relaxing before our late flight home. We will stay there instead, if we ever get the pleasure of returning to Tahiti. από τον/την Lisa από Anchorage στις 08/11/2013
