Singapore to jail British author over `insulting book`
Alan Shadrake authored `Once A Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock`.
Singapore: A 76-year-old British author on Friday lost his appeal against a six-week jail term and fine for insulting Singapore`s judiciary in a book about criminal executions in the city-state.
Alan Shadrake, a freelance journalist and author of `Once A Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock`, was allowed to undergo a medical test before starting his jail term on Wednesday.
He had been out on bail while seeking to reverse a High Court ruling in November 2010 sentencing him to prison and a fine of Sg$20,000 (USD 16,150).
"We affirm the sentence imposed by the judge," said Justice Andrew Phang of the three-member Court of Appeal panel, asked by the defence to overturn the conviction.

As we enter the autumn, the publishing industry is gearing up for the great Christmas rush. For self-publishers, this is often a frustrating time of year, with many not realising the long timescales that retailers work to. If you haven't already got your book in production, it's looking likely that it won't be ready in time for Christmas!
Even if you do get your book ready well in advance of the holiday season, getting retailers to take notice can be difficult. There are so many big books from the established publishing houses that it can be impossible to get noticed. That can mean that you forsake what appears to be the best selling season in favour of a time when there are fewer big books around, so in the early spring, for instance.
Yet that can work in your favour in fact... sell privately before Christmas, sell to the retailers afterwards when they are looking for new titles. A win-win for all!
In the next few months we will be altering the way that this magazine reaches readers, so watch this space!
Joshua Norbery vowed never to marry for money, but is forced to accept the unthinkable; when he learns that a mortgage taken out on his family estate has been acquired by the bride's father. The only way to regain it is to provide a son as heir to his father-in-law's business empire.
Arthur Bradstone uses the threat of losing Linmore to ensure Joshua's compliance, but no one seems to have told Joshua's wife of the part that she is required to play.
Hardly has Joshua overcome the initial difficulties in his marriage, than shadows from his past threaten to tear it apart...

In recent years, I've become increasingly enthusiastic about dressing down formal pieces and dressing up casual pieces. I remember that five years ago blazers were considered very formal pieces, but nowadays they're very often worn with just jeans and a tee. Over the weekend I dressed down my turtleneck and plaid blazer with a pair of torn jeans; this is something that I definitely would not have done years ago. The dynamic nature of fashion is what keeps it interesting!

I remember the day I went natural: it was as unceremonious as it could be and completely unplanned. I walked into the salon with a relaxed pixie and walked out with a blonde brush cut. From that moment, I felt that I needed a new wardrobe to go with my new hair. I needed to transition, if you will. Many women who big chop or transition have this feeling that their style must evolve with their hair. While it is always of the utmost importance to be you, there are some ways to match your wardrobe's personality with your hair. Here are some quick tips to make transitioning your closet easy and budget friendly.
Headscarves and hair accessories are a quick and easy update to any stylista's wardrobe: they can add print and color or bring a sleek black ensemble together for a head to toe look. Headscarves and wraps are also a big trend for Fall '12 with style stars such as Solange Knowles spotted rocking them with everyday looks. These looks are also great for transitioning ladies with protective styles. If you are looking for a subtler headpiece, try a headband with your next ensemble.
Printed pieces also add punch to a girl's closet. The latest trend is printed jackets and blazers. These pieces can take a girl from day to night, casual to formal. Don't shy away from prints as cooler weather comes but if you are uncomfortable with bold bright colors in the winter months, try a subdued print in richer colors. Animal prints are also great additions to a wardrobe.
Jewelry is a great and budget friendly way to switch up your look. Some of the best pieces can be found through thrifting and shopping vintage stores. Since 90′s style has been making a huge comeback, look for bold and chunky pieces in gold or bright colors. A variety of pieces can go very well with your hair and can help play up any look.
Finding your style niche should be an adventure and as you embark on your natural hair journey you may find yourself wanting to explore something new. Transitioning into a new look can be fun and exciting so don't be afraid to step out of your fashion comfort zone: you may stumble upon something you love.
Check out the sleek ponytail, a hair trend this fall, for a classic hairstyle.

Ephwurd Offers Up New Track 'High On You' For Free
Just days ahead of their debut live performance at Escape Psycho Circus, bass duo Ephwurd is releasing their new single "High On You" for free. Comprised of Dubstep heavyweight Datsik and fellow producer Bais Haus, Ephwurd exploded onto the scene earlier this year with bass house hits like "Rock The Party" and "Duckface".
"High On You" is another bass house banger from the duo, delivering rubbery low end drops punctuated by a constant, pounding house beat. Ephwurd opens the track with a four on the floor drum part, setting the pace for the track before a retro house vocal sample repeats "I wanna get high," leading into the build up. It's another high energy dance floor anthem that further establishes Ephwurd's affinity for dirty bass house tracks.
Listen to "High On You" below, and grab the free download here.

New York City entrepreneur turns passion for chocolate into retail entertainment concept where adults and children learn about the art of chocolatiering .
How do you transition from the world of banking and commerce into producing happiness? Through chocolate, of course! At least, that was the plan for Peter Moustakerski, who went from the world of consulting and finance to launching one of the most unique businesses in New York City, Voilà Chocolat. I entered the shop to the enticing aroma of what may be the best chocolate in New York City. While waiting to meet with him, I had a delicious cup of coffee, and could see the machines which temper the chocolate. Adults and children come to Voilà to make unique gifts, from bars to chocolate pops to animals, and can personalize their creations with unique toppings. This makes Voilà a great gathering place for groups, from birthday parties to team building activities. I'm always on the search for entrepreneurs who have interesting personal journeys and backstories. Peter Moustakerski is one of those entrepreneurs. I sat down to discuss what went into Peter's decision making process during this radical career change from corporate world to being an entrepreneur.
Tell me about your backstory and background.
Peter: I was born and raised in Bulgaria. My parents were engineers, and my high school afforded me the opportunity to get exposed to the rest of the world. I studied computer science and had the opportunity to be part of one of the early exchange programs between Bulgaria and China almost 30 years ago. I ended up spending the next 13 years of my life in China, at a time when the business environment in China was like the Wild West, a cowboy in an uncharted territory with rules I had to learn as I went forward. I made many connections and learned the ropes of how to start up a business in China by opening a candy factory producing for the Chinese consumer. I realized that there was a void, a need in China that I hoped to fill. I learned to network, wine and dine the right people to get the permits needed, built up the manufacturing and the marketing from the ground up. We made a lot of mistakes during that time, and also had many successes. Eventually, I moved on from that to work at the USDA.
How did candy manufacturing in China lead to a job with the USDA?
Peter: It was the late 1990s, and US growers and manufacturers were looking for opportunities to enter and distribute in the Chinese market. It was a visionary concept to view the people in China as consumers. I had the connections to make that happen in the Chinese food distribution world, so even though I was a third-country national, the USDA hired me. It was while I was doing this that I met my wife, who was an editor for The Economist writing about the opening China market. We moved to the US in 2001, and I enrolled at Columbia Business School. Having my crazy background led to some interesting opportunities. I became the interpreter for the President of Bulgaria as he traveled around China and Hong Kong. From there, I got involved in the consulting crowd for Booz Allen. I later ran a strategic initiatives group for UBS, where I learned how to be effective in large business environments. After that, I began working for Bridgewater with its founder, Ray Dalio, who recruited me to help build his family office.
What did you learn from working with Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater?
Peter: Ray Dalio is a very smart and intellectually intense person. But he also pushed you to your limits. A few years earlier, he had begun thinking about and writing what was behind his success. He wrote down his values and principles, which became the nucleus for the culture of Bridgewater. The published vision was followed at Bridgewater almost at a cult level. His process of self-analysis was a great opportunity to learn who you are, what you want, and how you are going to go about getting it. After this job, I realized that something was missing in my world, and in the world in general: having more hands-on, creative fun together with other people. So I wanted to fill that void. I realized that whatever activity we do as people, we are only going to enjoy it if we do things we believe in.
How did working at the world's largest hedge fund lead to the idea of Voilà Chocolat?
Peter: I knew I wanted to work with chocolate. I combined my passions for chocolate and business, and observed how much fun people were having when they were working with chocolate, as I used them as willing guinea pigs along my journey of learning the chocolate craft. I realized I could create a retail entertainment concept, that did not exist in the world, where people could interact and learn about the art of chocolatiering . Then came the journey of taking that concept, and making it a real business. Thankfully, I had the background to create a business plan that would work, raise the capital needed for this venture, and connections that helped me build a network of people that would stand behind this seemingly crazy concept, and finally recruiting people who shared this vision. After spending over 2 years launching the business and running the first store for over a year, we now have plans to expand, and aim to have 50 retail stores in key markets around the country. Our vision of a larger concept gives us the flexibility so we can change and modify quickly to evolve.
What is one mantra that has helped throughout this journey?
Peter: Creating a business is a very personal journey. Corporations were designed to be impersonal, to shield away the people. A business works well when it reflects your personality and values. We have a simple values-based vision at Voilà: Create unexpected happiness. Succeeding in this goal becomes a powerful multiplying effect. So, the people you hire should share your vision, your energy, your promise.
What other advice do you have for budding entrepreneurs?
Peter: You have to be patient to get from A to Z, as the path is not always straight. Keep to your values as a compass to guide you along the path to arrive at the best decisions. Things are not going to turn out exactly the way you expected. You have to have the passion to elevate you up. You have to have the forward drive to say: if it didn't happen today, it will happen tomorrow. Like a marathoner, think about the next step, not the long journey ahead. You have to be agile, and have sideways flexibility when you come against a wall. You need to create an agile evolutionary process to succeed.

Airbus, Boeing project healthy outlook for Indian market
Two leading global aircraft makers, Airbus and Boeing, Thursday projected a healthy outlook for the Indian market, saying that airlines in the country would have a demand of 1,300 to 1,600 more planes till 2032.
Hyderabad: Two leading global aircraft makers, Airbus and Boeing, Thursday projected a healthy outlook for the Indian market, saying that airlines in the country would have a demand of 1,300 to 1,600 more planes till 2032.
While European manufacturer Airbus expects that Indian carriers would require 1,290 new passenger aircraft valued at USD 190 billion to meet the burgeoning demand, US firm Boeing estimated a requirement of 1,600 aircraft during the period.
"Indian annual passenger traffic growth rates of 8.6 percent are well above the Asia-Pacific average growth rate of 6.1 percent and the world average of 4.7 percent. Of the requirement for 1,290 new aircraft, some 73 percent will be for growth and 27 percent for replacement," Airbus EVP Strategy and Marketing Kiran Rao said here.
Boeing's Senior Vice President (Sales) for Asia Pacific and India Dinesh Keskar said his company "projects demand for more than 1,600 new airplanes in India over the next 20 years, valued at USD 205 billion."
Airbus projected that between now and 2032 the new passenger aircraft requirements would include 913 single aisles like A-320 and A-320neo Family, 322 twin-aisles like A -350 XWB and A-330 and 56 very large aircraft like the superjumbo A-380.
It said by 2032, the current fleet of 343 aircraft would more than triple to some 1,233 aircraft.
In passenger traffic terms, domestic India was the fastest growing flow increasing at almost 10 percent per year to 2032 that would make it the world's third largest domestic aviation market.
Today, one in 20 Indians travel by air and in 2032 this would increase five-fold to a quarter of the population taking at least one flight, the Airbus outlook projected.
By 2032, the number Indian cities with over a million passengers every month would have grown to 13 from two today (Delhi and Mumbai). "This exponential growth will continue to drive the need for larger aircraft like the A-380 to operate in the country," it said.
Boeing's projection was that India's commercial aviation fleet would grow more than five times in size.
Boeing estimated that Indian carriers would rely mainly on single-aisle airplanes like the next-generation Boeing 737 and the 737 MAX. Single-aisle aircraft would represent 83 percent of the new airplanes in the country.
Keskar said India could be the world's fourth-largest economy if the current trends continue to help drive demand for air travel.

Westbrooks up to family standard
ERIC Westbrooks entered the family's 'hall of fame' yesterday as the St Fintan's of Sutton man lifted the All-Ireland U-19 A league trophy.
The co-captain was the only one of the remaining four Westbrooks brothers not to have collected a national winner's medal but he laid that ghost to rest with a terrific display for the Dublin school as they beat Presentation Bray 60-42.
The Westbrooks had a big hand in yesterday's proceedings with head coach Jerome (Eric's father) assisted on the line by son Michael, who will feature for Killester in today's Men's Superleague final.
Eric notched up 13 points, behind Ciaran Roe, who sank 17 points and was named MVP at the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght.
Calasanctius College Oranmore had earlier sealed an astounding treble as their U-16A boys, U-16A girls and U-19A girls all claimed titles.
The U-16 girls enjoyed a 54-39 win over Mercy Skibbereen, with MVP Ailish O'Reilly scoring 38 points.
The boys beat St Aidan's of Cork 64-33, and then the Calasanctius senior girls made history as they completed the league and cup double for the third successive year with a 76-55 victory over Colaiste Iosagain.
It was scintillating display from the Galway girls with MVP Carol McCarthy recording 24 points.
Nicolas Roche came home in the main bunch after stage five of the Volta a Catalunya yesterday and remains in fifth place overall.
Spaniard Joaquin Rodriguez of Team Katusha retains the overall lead with two stages remaining.
When a group of four detached themselves shortly after the start of the 181.2km stage, there was no reaction from the main group.
Davide Malacarne of Quick Step survived for a well deserved win.
At the World Track Championships in Denmark, the Irish pursuit team of David O'Loughlin, Martyn Irvine, Stephen Barrett and Matt Brammeier finished in 13th place.
In the Irish Independent on January 16, we claimed that John Delaney had stated that the FAI might not have gone ahead with plans to build Lansdowne Road if they had known that Croke Park would be available in the long-term.
We now accept that this was incorrect and that John Delaney said that had Croke Park indicated that it would remain open in the longer term, the FAI and IRFU could have looked into bringing the bigger games to Croke Park if the demand required it.
The FAI and IRFU never considered not building the Aviva Stadium.

Hi there, friends.
It's been a very long time since I posted here. So long that I would be shocked if any of my old readers still check the site — though I know a couple of you will probably see this through Twitter, and maybe some others haven't deleted the RSS feed from their readers. Most of my traffic in the last months/years(?) has been from search engines. But all that old content is gone from the site now.
What happened? Well, in all those many months of neglect, I failed to keep my WordPress installation up to date. And the thing about security fixes is, they're essentially lists of vulnerabilities in the older versions of the software. Yes, I got hacked. Got notifications about malware from my hosting company. So I figured, rather than spend ages (or pay someone else to spend ages) rooting it all out, I'd just delete the whole thing and start fresh. I'm excited to be back!
In case you're wondering: I did back up the text of my old posts. My plan is to repost the ones that are still interesting and relevant — the ones that aren't about the minutiae of current events from half a decade ago — and also to get back to writing new content as I'm able. I'm feeling optimistic right now about my ability to carve out enough me-time for writing a post per week, but even if that's hilariously naive, the reposts should be able to provide a sufficiently steady stream of probably-new-to-you content to get us through the times when I'm too busy with Real Life™.
With that:
In memoriam: NFQ 1.0, March 2010 – September 2015
Here begins NFQ 2.0, March 2017 – ?
If you're reading this, I'd love it if you'd say hello! How've you been? It's great to see you! (Figuratively speaking.)

*Trigger Warning: this post deals with the issue of rape.
There's been a lot of chatter in the media about rape. It seems there's a heap of mixed messages out there for women and men about why some men rape women. If you are a swimming star apparently it is not "rape" it's just a "bit of action". I wanted to set the record straight for my three girls.
10 Reasons Men Rape Women. A Quiz.
- Women walk alone at night. Yes or no?
- Women walk alone in isolated spots. Yes or no?
- Women drink way too much. Yes or no?
- Women tease men. Yes or no?
- Women are gagging for it. Yes or no?
- She was asking for it. Yes or no?
- Women mean yes when they say no. Yes or no?
- Some women are sluts. Yes or no?
- Women deserve it for dressing like whores. Yes or no?
- She didn't fight me, so she must have loved it. Yes or no?
If you answered YES to any of the above you are WRONG.
The correct answer is some men rape women because they are rapists. And that is the only correct answer.
There should be no confusion.
Rapists cause rape.
Absolutely correct.
Yes. No means no. Being unconscious means no. Sometimes being awake but obviously saying no through body language and pure fear, the offender having to use force and hold a woman down, cover her mouth, or her shutting up because of being threatened with worse if she fights, means no. I could go on and on. If a couple is having consensual sex both will get up immediately and either tell those interrupting to go away or at least be embarrassed. One won't run away and they other won't be lying unconscious and brutalised on the ground behind a dumpster. Or in a bedroom. Or anywhere. It can happen anywhere.
entirely agree with you here. it is not a matter how your dress or how you behave. If a girl is unconscious by the sidewalk, it is not an invitation for asking sex.
If a girl is unconscious …help to get her home safely by doing whatever it takes to do so
The blame never shifts. Its als the rapist fault.
All people suggest is that you can try and reduce the chance.
Because they care. not because they are blaming.
And blaming – does it make you feel good? Doesn't change the terrible ordeal or event.

Drum Roll Please... Our Winning Entry! Lobster Salad in Croissants!
The cocktail hat contest has come to a close and we have an incredible winning post! I can't wait to try this myself! Our winner lives in New Orleans and I think you'll agree that she is a riot and quite an amazing cook! I hope she'll send us a picture of her in her cocktail hat :)
So the steps for a Lobster Roll Croissant are quite simple- assuming of course that you can find a lobster.
If you live outside of New Orleans, and you are lucky enough to be able to find shelled cooked lobster meat, skip to step 8
1. Check Dorignac's, your favorite Metairie Market after work. Empty lobster tank. Phooey.
2. Head down Veterans Blvd. to Winn- Dixie, lobsters, but their steamer is broken. Just because you can boil one at home doesn't mean that you want to. *sigh* Start worrying that the dog hasn't been let out since before you left for work this morning.
3. Check Langenstein's on Metairie Road- Hooray! Lobsters! While your new friends at the fish counter take the 2 lb lobster in the back to whack him, you have 12-15 minutes to pick up croissants and cruise the aisles.
Name the lobster Buddy and contemplate whether lobsters have souls, and why it is different to buy pre-packaged vs. live animals. Thank Buddy and acknowledge the deliciousness of his contribution.
4. Get the lobster home in his plastic bag. Buddy cooled down in the car or else he'd still be too warm to handle. Let the dog out & change into something you don't mind getting spattered with lobster juice.
5. Get the supplies together-
A pan- since Buddy will be a bit messy to dismember.
The plastic bag he came in- perfect for the shell and to discard trash since it will be a bit smelly and getting it out to the trash will be key.
Kitchen shears- a kicky pink pair if you have them. Don't have any kitchen shears? What? Go get some- everybody can wait. Ok- well done. Seriously- a fabulous purchase- you'll use them ALL of the time!
Paper towels- this is a messy, smelly job and you'll want a bunch handy.
6. Here's where you can go your own way- the meat is mostly in the claws and tail. There is an intestine you'll want to discard, as well as some junk in the head that you probably won't want to eat. Snip off the rubber bands on the claws. Twist the tail off of the body and the claws too. There will be some dripping liquid, which is where the pan comes in. There are plenty of resources for the best way to get the lobster meat out of the shell- the Joy of Cooking, Paper place mats in the Northeast, or the Internet. Twisting the joints, cracking the claws (which is difficult with a hard shelled 2 pounder), and cutting the shell open are the basic steps. Watch out for your manicure!
7. Once you have the meat out of the shell, cut it (the kitchen shears again- what did I tell you? There are a million and one uses!) into bite sized pieces.
8. Gather your ingredients-Celery- a few ribs, Mayo, Croissants, Salt, Pepper
9. Mince the celery, drain on a paper towel to get all moisture out. The amount that you use will depend on your taste and how much lobster meat you end up with.
10. Combine lobster meat and celery, add salt and pepper. Add a little bit of mayo to combine- a bit at a time.
11. Slice a croissant horizontally, open and add lobster mixture.
12. Serve with potato chips and a Moxie, if you have one. Yum!

Weeknight Family Dinner! Buttermilk Oven Fried Chicken and Asparagus!
On to the fried chicken!
Buttermilk Oven Fried Chicken
(serves roughly 2 adults with one little piece for baby, multiply as needed!)
1 lb. chicken (boneless, skinless breast meat)
1 cup buttermilk
1 Tbsp. hot sauce (like Texas Pete)
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. cayenne (my cayenne is kind of old, so if yours is new, maybe half this?)
In a medium sized bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt and pepper, mix well. This is our marinade for our chicken! Take your chicken breasts, you'll most likely have two halves of a whole breast to make up roughly 1 lb., cut off the fat, and cut each breast half into 3-4 strips, the strips should be roughly 4 inches long and 1-2 inches wide. Why do I cut the meat up like this? One of my favorite things about fried chicken is the crust and this will give you a greater crust to meat ratio... Did I have you at crust? Let's place our chicken in the buttermilk marinade, cover, and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Let's get our crust mixture ready! In a shallow pan or on a plate, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne. The cayenne I used for this has been on my spice shelf in the pantry for a good several years... So if yours is on the newer side, you may want to reduce the amount. Or maybe you like it really hot?
Roasted Asparagus
olive oil
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
This could not be easier- really! Just take a shallow pan that's wide enough for the asparagus to be in one layer, rinse your asparagus, cut off the rough bottom (roughly 1-2" depending on the asparagus), place in the pan in one layer, top liberally with olive oil, sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground pepper. That's it! And now we roast it in the oven with the final step of the chicken and they are done at the exact same time! Easy!
Preheat your oven to 375. Prepare a frying pan with some canola oil. Why are we using something different from olive oil? Olive oil is great, but it has a flavor that we aren't necessarily interested in including. Use a vegetable oil (like canola) that isn't strong in flavor. Place a rack on a baking sheet, this is what you'll use to finish the chicken in the oven. Using a fork, remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk mixture, pausing to allow the excess to drip off each piece. Place the chicken in the crust mixture, turning to coat evenly. Heat the oil over medium heat and fry each piece of chicken for 2 minutes on each side, the crust should be a light golden brown, but not too dark. If it's dark brown or black, your heat is too high and the crust will taste burned and bitter. Once each piece is cooked for 2 minutes on each side, place the chicken pieces on the baking sheet prepared with a rack.
Both the chicken and the asparagus go into the oven at the same time- bake for 15 minutes and your meal is ready! Enjoy!
Scratching your head wondering what to do with your leftover buttermilk? Make this! If you can't find goat milk, substitute whole milk. Yummy!!!

The Scheherazade! (The Bartender is in!)
Gin is my go-to spirit for mixing. I don't drink gin straight, I don't care for martinis and I seldom drink gin-and-tonics, but gin really works in cocktails. The botanical flavors of gin add interesting complexity to a drink while letting the other ingredients remain center stage. Often when I tell someone I am going to make them a drink with gin, they say "I don't like gin." The Duchessa used to be one of them. The Duchessa has been relieved of her hatred of gin as are most people who taste it in a well-constructed cocktail.
For the last primary ingredient for this new cocktail, I chose lime juice. In creating this drink, I relied on the formula for sours: base liquor, lemon or lime juice, and a sweetening agent. The sweetening agent can take many forms – sugar, a liqueur, grenadine or a sweet fruit juice, among others. A lot of classic cocktails rely on this formula:
Margarita - tequila, lime juice and Cointreau
Sidecar - brandy, lemon juice and Cointreau
Daiquiri - rum, lime juice, sugar
Whiskey Sour - whiskey, lemon juice, sugar
One of the most famous cocktails of more recent creation, the Cosmopolitan, is also a sour; citrus vodka, lime juice and triple sec comprise the three main components with a little cranberry juice added primarily for color.
After tinkering with the proportions, I found something to the Duchessa's liking, and she christened it the Scheherazade given its Middle Eastern flavor profile. Although cardamom is of Indian origin, it is used heavily in the Middle East, particularly in tea. Our cocktail's namesake, Scheherazade, relates the tales of the Arabian Nights to her husband the king. The king, after catching one of his wives cheating on him and developing a distrust of all women, begins a routine of taking a new wife every day and having her executed the next morning in order to avoid being deceived again. Scheherazade, having devised a plan of her own, volunteers to be the king's next wife in order to prevent the same fate befalling more women. She tells the king a story but is unable to finish by morning, so he must keep her alive one more day. After finishing that story, she begins another and again leaves the king in suspense forcing him to spare her one more day. She repeats this for 1,001 nights. By this time, the king has fallen in love with Scheherazade and makes her his queen.
Given the name I wondered if I could find any mentions of rose and cardamom directly in the Arabian Nights. I found the following in Husain Haddawy's translation of the Story of the Two Viziers:
"He had prepared a pomegranate-seed dish, preserved in almonds and sweet julep and flavored with cardamom and rosewater…"
2 oz gin
1 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
½ oz Monin rose syrup
¼ oz simple syrup (2:1, see below)
8 drops cardamom bitters
1 oz club soda
Mix all ingredients except the club soda in a shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Add club soda and strain into ice-filled collins glass. Alternatively, the drink could be served in a cocktail glass. If so, I would express the oils from a lime twist on the surface of the drink. For a more elegant look, the drink could be garnished with rose petals. If served in the collins glass, I would mix a few in with the ice. In the cocktail glass, floating a single petal on top would be a nice presentation.
Simple Syrup:
Bring one cup of water to a boil. As soon as it begins to boil, turn off the heat and add 2 cups of sugar, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. If you add an ounce of 80-proof vodka, it will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. Simple syrup is an absolute necessity for cocktails. I use it in margaritas, sidecars, mojitos and many others as well as in my espresso in the morning. It is so much easier to use than undissolved sugar, particularly when dealing with cold ingredients. I make my simple syrup with twice as much sugar as water (2:1). Many people use equal amounts of sugar and water, and most recipes you see calling for simple syrup will probably use 1:1. If you use 1:1 in this recipe, you will probably need a little more than ¼ ounce.
Other Tips:
The gin I use most often for mixing is Plymouth but any good quality gin will work. Hendrick's is infused with rose petals and so is a natural for the Scheherazade but will make for a more assertive flavor profile.
Fresh-squeezed juice is an absolute necessity for good cocktails. A citrus press makes quick work of juicing lemons and limes. The fruit will yield more juice at room temperature than if it is refrigerated, so microwave it for 20-30 seconds if taken straight from the fridge. Rolling the fruit on a counter top while pressing down with the palm of your hand will also increase the amount of juice you get.
Monin syrups are available from their website. If you find another brand it may work just as well, although you may need to alter the amounts of rose syrup and simple syrup. As an alternative you could experiment with using a small amount of rose water and upping the simple syrup. Rose water can be found at Middle Eastern grocery stores and some supermarkets.
The cardamom bitters I have used are made by Scrappy's. They are available on the Internet. I use droppers to measure my bitters, but two dashes would be a good approximation for this recipe.
For a virgin Scheherazade, replace the gin and club soda with three ounces of tonic water.

Broccoli Rabe and Sausage with Pasta (Salsiccia e Cime di Rapa)
This is also a great dish because it's pretty simple, not too time consuming, and because it has meat, vegetables and pasta, it's a pretty complete meal! I fed some to baby tonight and he mostly ate the sausage and pasta, the broccoli rabe was a hard sell to baby... But some of the pasta and sausage has small amounts of broccoli rabe on them, so we got some vegetables in anyway! Ha ha- vegetables 1, baby zero...
Currently, baby is kind of over bananas and thinks tearing apart bread is kind of fun! Of course, feeding the dog is a big past time as well...
Broccoli Rabe and Sausage with Pasta
1 bunch (1 lb.) broccoli rabe
1.25 lb. mild Italian sausage
3 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup sweet white wine (such as Riesling)
1/2 box farfalle, orecchiette or other pasta of similar size
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
olive oil
In a heavy pot, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium low heat. Remove the sausage meat from the casings and place in the pot. If you are able to buy sausage out of the casing, that's great, and just do that! If not, taking the sausage out of the casing is not hard and all, just use both hands and squeeze, meat will come out both ends. Just throw away the casings. It is totally ok if when you remove the meat from the casings that it isn't in uniform or small pieces. Use a wooden spoon while it browns to break it up, with a stabbing motion. As it cooks, it will come apart more easily. Brown the sausage until nearly all the sides of the meat are browned.
When the meat is almost all browned, add the garlic, finely chopped, and the red pepper flakes. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully browned and the garlic is fragrant. When the meat is cooked through, the garlic is nicely starting to turn color, add the wine and let it simmer until it is reduced by about 1/2. Set this aside, we'll come back to it!
Meanwhile, bring enough water to a boil in a large pot. For the amount of broccoli rabe and sausage, I used half of a regular sized box of pasta. I'm sure you've heard me say this before, but wait to salt your water until it is close to boiling! I don't know why, but the salt gets stuck to the bottom of the pot if you put it in too early... This is a nice little time saver right here, we are going to use the same water to boil both our pasta and our broccoli rabe! Go us!
Cook the pasta according to the directions to get it just al dente- one of the best reasons I can think of to cook the pasta al dente is that this is a dish I will either reheat or freeze and when it gets reheated, the pasta won't be as firm. So all the more reason to keep it firm on the front end! Moving on! Once your pasta is finished cooking, remove it from the boiling water (but don't pour out the boiling water in the pot), rinse the pasta with cold water in a colander to stop the cooking. Place the pasta, once rinsed, in a bowl and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Now on to the broccoli rabe! To prepare this, just rinse it, cut off some of the tough stem, but not all, it's not all bad! Cut horizontally into pieces about 1-1 1/2" long. Let's use our boiling pasta water to cook it! See how easy that is? Just boil the broccoli rabe for 3 minutes. When it's finished, it will be a beautiful vibrant green- remove it with a slotted spoon and add it to the pot with the sausage and wine. Turn the heat back on on this pot and combine over a low heat for just a few minutes. Add to the pasta in the bowl, toss and combine, adding sea salt and freshly cracked pepper (you won't need much pepper, remember the red pepper flakes are in it!).
To serve, garnish with freshly grated parmesan. Delicious!
Salted Caramel Tart
To start, you'll need to make your tart pastry dough.
Tart Pastry Dough
1 cup sugar
1 3/4 cup flour (unbleached all-purpose)
pinch fleur de sel
1/4 tsp. vanilla powder
1 egg
9 Tbsp. unsalted butter
To start, I remove the egg and unsalted butter from the refrigerator to start bringing them up to room temperature. In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, fleur de sel (sea salt is a fine substitute) and vanilla powder. In a food processor, once the butter is sufficiently soft, pulse the butter until smooth. Add the flour mixture and combine, then add the egg. The dough may not completely come together, it may be more of a meal (like cornmeal). You have two options, you can either add ice water one Tablespoon at a time, which will make it combine nicely, or you can just keep it kind of mealy- but the texture of your crust may be ultimately drier. In any event- divide the dough into two balls and wrap them in plastic wrap, chill one hour or overnight. I LOVE using my food processor to make pastry dough, it is so fast!!!
In the meantime, let's make our caramel!
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream (I know, crazy, right?)
In a small sauce pan, combine the sugar and water. Probably this will be easiest using a whisk! Heat the sugar and water over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the granularity of the sugar seems to have disappeared. It is alright if it is still white in color, though! Increase the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. I usually stir once during the 5 minutes. Uncover, and increase the heat to medium high- boil without stirring for 5 minutes, during which time, use a pastry brush dipped in water to brush down any crystallization on the sides of the pot. The next part is important to do very quickly! Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the cream and stir! This will bubble and steam a little and the caramel will at first want to harden due to the temperature of the cream. Stir vigorously and it will combine nicely! Stir in the sour cream also. This will be a very light colored caramel. Place in a small bowl and refrigerate. (Sneak a taste also!)
Let's get our tart pans ready! This amount of dough is enough for two 9" tarts. When I was making this, though, I used slightly more than half of the dough to make one 9" tart and two small tartlets (as shown in the picture). Spray your tart pan(s) with Pam (great, great stuff!) and lightly flour, tapping away the excess. Get yourself a clean work area to roll out the tart pastry dough- either a clean counter top or a large enough cutting board. Using flour as needed, (on the cutting board, on top of the dough, on the rolling pin), roll out the dough, which may need to come closer to room temperature for a few minutes before it's sufficiently pliable. You want about 1/4" or a little more thickness. You may recall from the Apple Pie post, http://ladolceduchessa.blogspot.com/2010/11/amazing-apple-pie.html, how to transfer pastry dough from the workspace to the baking vessel. If so, good for you! I hope you have tried it and agree that it's not terribly hard! If you aren't familiar with the technique, my sister's beautifully manicured hands will walk you through it! (This is pie dough and a pie dish, a tart pan is not as deep)
This tart dough is on the crumby side, so what I end up doing is transferring the dough using the rolling pin and then filling in the areas where I need more dough (mostly the edges and crust) just by pressing the pieces of dough together with my fingers. It's sufficiently sticky because of the butter content, so this should work fine! Cut the excess dough- don't want extra hanging over the lip of the tart pan(s). Prick the bottom of the tart crusts with the tines of a fork several times- trust me, this is needed! Place your beautiful tart pastry crusts in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes while you get these next steps together!
Preheat the oven to 325, make sure your rack is in the center of the oven. Using the Pam spray again, spray pieces of aluminum foil- each of the pieces should be the right size to completely cover each tart. After the tart pastry crusts have chilled for a few minutes and your oven is preheated, place the pieces of aluminum foil, greased side down, over the pans. Use either raw rice, dried beans or pie weights (the picture to the left shows dried beans being used as weights for one of the small tartlet pans).
We recently discovered that my husband has an allergic reaction to white beans. So I use them as pie weights!
With your wonderful chilled tart pastry crusts covered with aluminum foil, bake for 13 minutes. Remove the foil, discard the foil and the beans, then bake uncovered for 8-9 minutes. They won't change color much. Cool the baked tart shells before filling and topping with caramel and whipped milk chocolate cream!
Now- on to the milk chocolate cream!
Milk Chocolate Cream
7.5 ounces milk chocolate
3/4 cup heavy cream (chilled)
pinch sea salt
I usually put my metal Kitchen Aid bowl in the refrigerator for a few minutes before whipping cream. Using a whisk attachment, whip the cream until you've achieved firm whipped cream- but not so much you start veering off to the 'butter side,' basically if your cream becomes 'chunky,' things have gone too far... In a small bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave. Add the milk chocolate and the pinch of salt to the whipped cream using a spatula to fold gently. Try to fold as opposed to mix, this motion will keep it from becoming quite so deflated. Definitely taste this- isn't it great!?
Now, we assemble our beautiful tart! Take your tart shells and pour a thin layer of caramel. Keep it thin- the caramel is very sweet and keeping the layer thin will keep it from overpowering the other elements, your pastry and the milk chocolate cream. Sprinkle a pinch or two of salt over the caramel. Using either a pastry bag, a mechanical pastry bag, or a zip lock bag, pipe the milk chocolate cream on top of the caramel. There is no right design, just something that looks pretty! I covered both small tartlets in a tight spiral, so I didn't have a lot left over for the larger tart- so I just did a few rings in the center and at the outer edge of the caramel. Get creative! Make a happy face or a zig zag line! Enjoy!

Don't Miss the Cocktail Hat Contest!
January 15, 2011
This is a great dish not only because it's spicy, delicious and satisfying, but this recipe yields a LOT! I have fed a dinner party of 8 with this and had some left over. If you're cooking for just your family, you will have enough left over for lunch or dinner the next day. You can make it something slightly different by using a different salsa, or by having it on a salad- adding fresh corn and avocado would be delicious.
10 garlic cloves
2 jalapenos (with seeds)
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 tsp. sea salt
fresh cracked pepper (I use 20 grinds from my pepper mill)
2 poblano chilies (with seeds)
2 Tbsp. Asian chili garlic paste
1/2 cup (packed) cilantro
5 lb. pork shoulder, cut into 2-3" pieces
When working with the jalapenos, wear disposable plastic gloves, the kind you see at doctors' offices. The poblanos aren't as hot, so it's probably ok if you don't wear them when working with the poblanos. For both the jalapenos and the poblanos, rinse the peppers, cut off the top stem portion, and place them in the blender. Don't remove the seeds- unless you want the heat level to be more mild (I like this with all the seeds). Place all the remaining ingredients, excluding the pork, in the blender with the hot peppers. The garlic cloves just need to be peeled and have the roots cut off, but they can go in the blender whole, as can the cilantro. It is alright to use the whole stalk of cilantro, this doesn't have to be just the leaves. Blend the ingredients together. Try to use freshly squeezed citrus juice.
Cut the pork into 2-3" pieces, cutting away areas that are predominantly all fat. Don't worry if a piece seems to be 50% fat, that's alright, just discard pieces that are 75% fat or more. This is cooked for such a long time that the fat seems to liquefy and what you are left with is predominantly meat. Place the pieces of pork in a large dutch oven. Pour marinade over the meat, mix with a spoon to coat the pieces of meat. Cover the pot with foil, then place lid on top of the pot.
Bake at 325 degrees fahrenheit for 3 1/2 hours. Toward the end of the cooking time you'll be able to smell this!
Remove from the oven and uncover, allow to sit for about 15-20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat and place in a bowl. Some of the marinade will 'come along,' that's fine, and go ahead and save about 1 cup of the marinade. You can use this later if the meat isn't flavorful enough or isn't moist enough. Using two forks, shred the pork in the bowl. Do NOT use silver or silver plated silverware for any of this- the vinegar and citrus will turn it black (I learned the hard way)!
I usually cook and shred the pork the night before I plan to eat it and refrigerate it overnight. Here's what NOT to do- don't leave it in the marinade after cooking overnight, it will be unbelievably spicy! So if you do refrigerate the cooked meat overnight, remove it from the marinade and place in a separate bowl. You do not have to refrigerate it overnight, you can just proceed to frying it if you're ready to eat it!
In a medium sized frying pan, using medium heat, fry the shredded pork in batches, being careful not to crowd (If you crowd, you won't get the wonderful browned crispy parts). While the meat is frying, heat your tortillas, either in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel or in a skillet on the stove (use medium heat and tongs to flip the tortillas and remove them from the pan).
To assemble your delicious carnitas soft taco, place the crispy shredded pork on the tortilla, top with salsa verde and queso fresco or sour cream. Enjoy!
I buy salsa verde in cans in the Mexican section of the supermarket. Feel free to use other salsas, too!

History Never Tasted So Good!
My sister, who is simply incredible, gave my husband this book for Christmas. He is a big cocktail guy- in fact, he is working on a 'guest post' to bring you one of my favorite cocktails (a delicious combination of cardamom bitters and rose syrup with a healthy helping of gin... stay tuned). Before he has had a chance to read it, I 'borrowed' it and loved every word!
This book is similar to Salt and Cod, which are outstanding books as well, histories told through one central theme- a food ingredient that has shaped our history meaningfully. This book, And a Bottle of Rum, tells the history of rum and it will really surprise you! Here I was, thinking rum was a Caribbean spirit that had little reach elsewhere- not true! The importance of rum in the creation of the United States will astound you! The reinvention and evolution of rum into all its varieties is incredibly interesting as well.
Delicious recipes are included in the book. I look forward to sampling them all!

Chocolate Truffles with Lemon and Lavender
While it is still a bit messy to use, (it can be hard to get the ganache into the tube neatly), the depressing mechanism is so much easier than trying to wrestle with a bag. Hooray! And because it is metal and plastic and comes apart, it is easier to clean than a bag.
Chocolate Truffles with Lemon and Lavender
8.5 ounces bittersweet chocolate (>50% cacao)
1 Tbsp. honey
1 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp. lavender flowers
pinch fleur de sel
1 tsp. lemon zest
1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. lavender flowers
In a metal bowl, place the honey, chocolate (chopped coarsely), salt and the lemon zest. Here's the type of tool I use to zest the lemon:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and lavender flowers at a medium low heat, slowly bringing to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from the heat. Place a strainer over the chocolate, and pour the lavender cream through the strainer, catching the lavender. Discard the lavender. Allow the chocolate and hot cream mixture to sit for one minute. Using a whisk, combine until the mixture is smooth and shiny and no pieces of chocolate remain solid.
Whisk often, allowing to cool down to room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Place the ganache either in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or in an ice bath, stirring often, to cause the ganache to become more solid. When it is the consistency of pudding, using a spatula, fill the canister of your mechanical pastry bag. (You may also use a traditional pastry bag, a zip lock bag, or a squeeze bottle).
On a baking sheet lined with parchment, pipe small mounds of ganache about 1/2" in size. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. In a small dish, combine the coating ingredients. Using clean fingers, roll each truffle in the coating until fully covered.
Keep these in the refrigerator, when you'd like to eat them let them warm up a little out of the fridge. Enjoy!

Win a Gorgeous Cocktail Hat!
Chicken Saltimbocca and Arugula with Lemon Vinaigrette
Chicken Saltimbocca
(serves two adults, just increase proportions as needed!)
2 Chicken cutlets
1/4 lb. thinly sliced prosciutto
10-12 fresh sage leaves
freshly ground pepper
Chicken cutlets, which you can typically buy at the butcher or the meat counter are simply skinless, boneless chicken breast halves that have been butterflied so that they open like a book. So, if for some reason you can't get cutlets, you can either butterfly chicken breast halves yourself, or just use skinless boneless chicken breast halves and adjust your cooking time to make sure your chicken gets cooked all the way through. Let's begin!
Take your chicken cutlets and place a piece of parchment (or waxed) paper on top of the chicken. Using a meat tenderizer tool, beat both cutlets until they are a little bit flatter and uniform. This won't take a lot. Now, cut each cutlet in half vertically, so that you have two relatively symmetrical halves. Place the fresh sage leaves on the chicken pieces, about one sage leaf every 2 inches or so. On some of the pieces I fit three, on a smaller piece only two, you can take a look at the picture and see what I mean. Sprinkle this side of the chicken with some freshly cracked pepper.
Moving on! Take your prosciutto slices and wrap them around each of the four pieces of chicken. Try to keep the wrapping single ply, I have found that there is such a thing as too much prosciutto here. I used a bit less than 1/4 of a pound for two chicken cutlets. If you need to lift up the chicken pieces to wrap them thoroughly, do so, trying to keep the sage leaves where they are. Since the raw chicken is sticky, the sage should stay in place and so should the prosciutto once you place it on the chicken.
On the prosciutto- try, if at all possible, to get very thinly sliced prosciutto. I have tried this with prepackaged prosciutto, which tends to be a little thicker than the variety you can get at the deli counter and the thicker prosciutto was excessively salty.
Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, eat immediately, this is best when served hot. Enjoy! We gave our baby a few bites of this tonight and he liked it!
Arugula with Lemon Vinaigrette
Baby arugula
Parmesan (freshly grated or shaved)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh)
4 Tbsp. olive oil
pinch of salt
freshly ground pepper
I make all my salad dressings in a mason jar. I do NOT whisk. Why whisk when you can simply shake?! Ok, just put all the dressing ingredients in a jar, put on the lid, shake a few times and you are DONE. Dressing could not be easier!!! The added benefit of making the dressing in a mason jar is that you already have something to store it in, and because it's a container that closes tightly, you can put it on its side in the refrigerator and not have to worry about leaking. Mason jars are very handy! Definitely use fresh lemon juice. Fresh citrus juice tastes much different from bottled. For this lovely salad, just place some baby arugula on the plate, top with some freshly grated or shaved parmesan, then top with some of your delicious lemon dressing. Pairs wonderfully with the chicken saltimbocca! I personally think the acidity of the lemon dressing pairs nicely with the saltiness of the saltimbocca.
I hope this helps- I have heard from some of you that you would like more quick weeknight dinners that are still delicious and that kids might like, too. I don't know if kids will like this salad, but the chicken could be a winner with them!

Happy New Year!
I was unaware of this tradition until we moved to the South a few years ago. My husband explained it to me- collards look like cash and black eyed peas are supposed to look like coins, so Southerners eat both on New Year's day to bring prosperity in the new year. I like wishing for prosperity! I wish it for each and everyone of you!
In addition to wishing you a Happy New Year, I'd like to hear from you how I can help in the new year. What recipes can I bring to you that you'll find either helpful, uplifting or just fun? Either email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or leave your comment at the end of this post. I'll look forward to hearing from you!

Bethenny Frankel In Crisis: Jason Moves Out!
After months of nonstop fighting, Bethenny Frankel?s exasperated husband, Jason Hoppy, stormed out of the couple?s NYC apartment and checked into the nearby Cosmopolitan Hotel.
And while Jason, 40, told friends that he ditched the $5 million Tribeca condo he shares with Bethenny and their 23-month-old daughter, Bryn, because of renovations, a source thinks he also left because he?s fed up with Bethenny?s diva behavior. ?The fighting has gotten worse,? the source tells In Touch. The reason? Bethenny, 41, has become overly obsessed with her looks, fame and the launch of her LA-based talk show. ?Her energy has been nervous and neurotic,? the source says. ?He can?t take it anymore, so he?s been doing everything on his own.?

Good Points
Looks, Novelty value
Bad Points
Poor reception, battery life, looks cheap
General Comments
I had my 5210 for 12 days, for the first week, it was great (previous phone Siemens C35i), Unfortunately people that phoned me said they couldn't me hear very well.
After a week the novelty value of the phone wore off, as I am not sporty the chances of me dropping the phone are slim. Therefore I changed to a Nokia 3510, so far impressed with this one much better battery and reception

Here are a couple more of my Madame Dupaix bags. Someone was asking where I got the pattern--I invented it! I also sell the pattern. Just email me. It is $4, I prefer PayPal. It will be sent via email as a .pdf file.
This particular bag seems to need something. Originally I had knitted in some large sequins along the top and bottom, but they didn't survive the felting process very well, so I removed them. Maybe I"ll add some black beads along the bottom or something. I'll have to think on that.
This is one of my favorites. The flower was fun to make. Incidentally, the yarn for both of these bags was purchased at a thrift store. It is Red Heart 100% wool. The label claims it is washable, but when you read the washing instructions, you have to be VERY gentle in your washing, and only use cold water. I thought to myself, "That means it will felt if I use hot water and torture it." A test swatch proved this theory correct. It felted like a dream!

S-Mart is the department store that Ashley J. "Ash" Williams works at in the Evil Dead film, Army of Darkness. This vintage style t-shirt includes a slightly faded and distressed screen print-style imprint with authentic halftones and imperfections making it look like it's straight outta 1992. "The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department."
