[Raspberry Yogurt Cake]
Gâteau au Yaourt is a staple in French home baking : it is very easy to make and I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like it. Its particularity is to call for a pot de yaourt (a tub of yogurt), and to use the empty pot to measure out the rest of the ingredients. This no-scale recipe is a notable exception to the French usage, in which quantities are measured by weight rather than volume.
It is very popular with kids, who love a simple, moist and fluffy cake. But what they particularly enjoy is that they can make it almost entirely on their own, perched on a kitchen stool. There is no complicated step, no scale to manipulate, and with the intensive sandbox training they have, they are usually experts at the emptying and filling of small-sized containers.
The basic gâteau au yaourt recipe (there are actually different versions, one of them is the one below, minus the ground almonds and raspberries) lends itself to a lot of great variations. You can add citrus juice, zest, or peel for a delicious lemon or orange cake, you can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter, you can slice the baked cake in two and spread a layer of jam in the middle, you can frost the cake with a chocolate frosting — whatever strikes your fancy.
When I offered to bring the dessert for dinner at our friends Anne and Olivier's place the other night, I decided to make a spring-inspired version of this cake, adding some almond powder and layering raspberries into the batter.
Everything went well, but I had a little trouble unmolding it. Patience is not my forte, and although I knew I should let it sit for a few minutes first, I just had to try and unmold it right away, all the while murmuring to myself "you know you shouldn't you know you shouldn't". All this got me was the top half of the cake upside down on a plate, and the bottom half still stubbornly stuck to the pan. Unfazed and armed with The Mighty Spatula, I had to scrape off the cake pieces from the pan, and patch up the cake as best I could, before flipping it onto a cooling rack. Who knows, maybe some day I will learn.
Despite this little incident, I was very pleased with the result : the cake develops a slight crust while the inside is moussy and aerated, and the berries bring a very pleasant moistness and a delightful tart flavor. Since it is such a subtly sweet cake, it would be perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Gâteau au Yaourt à la Framboise
- 2 tubs of plain yogurt (one tub is 125 ml, the French standard, which amounts to 4 oz, or half a cup)
Use one of the empty tubs to measure out :
- 2 tubs of brown sugar
- 1/2 tub of oil
- 3 tubs of sifted flour
- 1/2 tub ground almonds
You will also need :
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tbsp (one packet) baking powder
- a good pinch of salt
- 300 g raspberries (fresh or frozen — no need to thaw them if they're frozen)
Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F). Copiously grease and flour a 9-inch (22 cm) round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, the oil and the sugar with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition. In a medium bowl combine the flour, the baking powder, the salt, and the almonds. Add the flour mixture to the batter in three or four additions, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Alternatively, use your food processor to mix the batter, adding the ingredients in the same order as indicated above.
Pour half the batter into the cake pan. Cover evenly with half of the raspberries. Pour the other half of the batter, and arrange the other half of the raspberries on top.
Put into the oven to bake, for 50 to 60, until the top is springy and a cake tester comes out clean. If it looks like the top of the cake is browning too quickly, cover with foil for the rest of the baking time. Let rest on the counter for ten minutes — I repeat : let rest on the counter for then minutes — then run a knife around the cake to loosen it, remove from the pan, and transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Preparing and cooking asparagus
Rinse spears. Hold one at each end, then bend – it will break where the tough woody stem meets the edible tip. the best way to cook the spears is in about 5cm of boiling water in a wide, deep sauté pan. Green asparagus will take 3-5 minutes, depending on its thickness. Test by piercing a spear with the point of a knife – when cooked it will just slide in easily. White asparagus takes much longer to cook as it has a woodier texture. It needs 12-15 minutes – test as above.
When you break and trim asparagus, don't throw away the trimmings and ends – they make a great stock for soups and risottos.
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Oil and line the base of a loaf tin (approx 22 x 10 x 5cm) with baking paper. Cook the asparagus in boiling, salted water for 2 mins, drain, then cool quickly under cold running water. Pat dry.
- Mix the flour and thyme with seasoning in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, then add the eggs, milk and oil, stirring all the time to draw the flour into the centre. Beat for 1 min to make a smooth batter.
- Reserve 5 asparagus tips and a few olives. Add the remaining asparagus, tomatoes, olives and two-thirds of the cheese to the batter. Pour into the tin, then put the reserved asparagus and olives on top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 35-40 mins until the cake feels firm to the touch and is golden and crusty on top. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.

Comments, questions and tips
Absolutley divine and soooo easy. I have made this twice in a weekend. 2nd time I used half mature cheddar and half gruyere - I like this way even better as top is more browned with the cheddar. I made it to go on the table at a dinner party and went down a treat - even with my hubby who doesnt like veg!
Fabulous loaf.Have made this loaf three times now ,it freezes well too.
It is gorgeous as pre dinner nibble with drinks,or even just sitting in the garden with friends and a glass of wine, the last time of making it was to take to my daughters for that reason, the company was a good mixture of ages and it went down wonderfully well with everyone.
Certainly a favourite with me and my family!

This post will make more sense when combined with one that will be published later this week. But I do have to set some measure of groundwork, at least from a historical perspective.
When doing a quick search on the Internet, it quickly becomes apparent that the idea of a "chophouse" is seen as the exact same way as a "steakhouse". This may be true from a modern, current-day perspective. However, historically speaking the two are not the same. Similar, yes. The same? Not quite.
Before we get much further, let me pull out an old definition of chophouse, from The Royal English dictionary, published in 1763:
..a kind of cook's shop, where meat is ready dressed, so called from their dealing mostly in mutton chops.
So, yes, it was, at it's heart, a meat shop, and yes, it was a distinctly British idea. But remember, the idea of a restaurant was still about twenty years away by this point. So the question becomes – what makes a chophouse not a restaurant?
Two things, primarily. For one, the menu – it never changed, and it rarely expanded beyond a cook cut of meat or two. Yes, sides of bread, cheese,broth, and other similar products could and would be sold, and a drink might be available. But for the most part, the chophouse was known to serve meat and only meat. Think of it as a "restaurant" who only had one item on the menu. one that was served one way and one way only. There would be no option to order it rare one day, and well-done the next.
Secondly, the chophouse was a first-come, first-served type of place, where the customer would sit on a bench next to complete strangers.
All of this is a broad definition, and it needs to be considered that, as with any similar business, the quality varied from the respected to the disgusting.
This is quite different from the idea of the restaurant, where a person would sit at their own table, could choose from a variety of options on the menu, have that meal cooked for them specifically, and be attended to by an individual.
So, how does a "steakhouse" fit into this equation? A steakhouse, in today's parlance, is the old chophouse ideal mixed with the serving philosophy of the restaurant. Historically speaking, a steakhouse is not the same thing as a chophouse, but can trace its roots to the chophouse tradition. Or, to put it another way: (chophouse)+(restaurant)=steakhouse.

The Christmas Carrolls
Lord Heartless
Miss Lockhart's Letters
Miss Treadwell's Talent
Lord Heartless
Miss Lockhart's Letters
Miss Treadwell's Talent
The story begins with a bang. Miss Aurora Halle McPhee is in the process of marrying the dashing and handsome Lieutenant Harland Podell. Aurora can't believe her good luck. She's not completely sure why Harland fell in love with the penniless adopted daughter of two eccentric naturalists, but it's a dream come true. The dream turns into
a nightmare when, at that nerve wracking moment in the service -- "If anyone here knows just cause why, etc." -- a stranger shouts, "I'll speak, by God."
In the pandemonium that follows, Aurora loses her breakfast as it turns out that Harland already has not one, but at least two "wives." When Aurora plaintively whimpers, "But I need a husband," the stranger steps into the breech and offers himself to the distressed young woman.
Kenyon Warriner, Earl of Windham, had rushed to Bath to find the man who had "married" his sister Brianne, spent her dowry, and then faked his death in battle. Now, assuming that Podell had seduced Aurora, he offers to marry her to save her from disgrace. The wedding follows quickly, and that night, Kenyon discovers that his assumption had been wrong. He believes that Aurora had tricked him. Aurora is
understandably angry and informs Kenyon that the marriage will be in name only until Kenyon realizes that she is worthy to be his wife.
Aurora's way of demonstrating her worthiness is not completely satisfactory. She rescues waifs and broken down horses and unemployed soldiers and just about anyone else who has a sad story to tell. In short, Aurora turns Kenyon's life upside down. There is also a mystery to be solved. Why would the fortune-hunting Harland Podell take up with a supposedly impoverished Aurora McPhee? Since Aurora was born in India, a quest for her origins leads them to the marvelously improbable Lady Anstruther-Jones who adds a monkey to the mix.
Kenyon certainly wants a real marriage, but he has to leave the country to bring his wounded brother back to England. So Aurora heads off to the family home in Derby, to deal with his crumbling home, his dotty aunt, his depressed and annoying sister, his neglected estate, his neglected son -- which she, of course, does with remarkable success.
Kenyon returns briefly and it looks like things will work out, but he is summoned to London on the king's business. Then Kenyon returns again, but even more problems arise.
There are lots of humorous moments, with monkeys chasing dogs and cats chasing dogs and dogs chasing cats. But what there isn't much of is any development of a relationship between Aurora and Kenyon. Well, how can there be, with so much going on? Aurora and Kenyon come across as fairly stock Regency characters, she the surprisingly capable if impetuous woman, he the man who, betrayed by his first wife, wants a restful wife but gets something very different. What I never quite understood was how or when they fall in love. Certainly, Kenyon lusts after his wife from the start, but when and why does Aurora decide she loves Kenyon? Does absence make the heart grow fond?
I have frequently enjoyed Metzger's Regencies because of her quirky characters and her sense of the ridiculous. But despite the fact that A Worthy Wife has some funny moments, it didn't quite work for me. Too much stuff going on; too little romance.

These books were recommended by my kid's teacher, and I find them to be very well structured for 5-6 year old.
The fonts are big, each page has 1 to 3 lines only.
Since the language and repetition of words is thought of very well, it makes the book set a great product.
Since my kid was 6 years already, maybe I should have started from Level 2 since level 1 was easy for him.
My 4.5 yr old really enjoyed reading the books. Besides everthing else these books because of their format instill confidence in the kids who have just started reading sentences. It encourages them to read further...like my kid who is keen to read level 2. These books have repeatitive sentences...in a way child mugs them....but he/she is very happy to read the storybook himself/herself....
I will also like to thank flipkart for the superb service and the cost is also less as compared to the market....
My nephew is a big fan of stories..initially I told him stories through the pictures and now that he has started reading the small small and simple words make it awesome for his first read..hence can be used for a longer span of time..plus it a steal once you buy from Flipkart..found the set at a price of Rs.650 at the mall in my city
Level 1 Ladybird Read Yourself series books are great even for children who have just started to identify Big alphabets. Even though the words do not matter, the illustrations in it certainly will attract even a 2 year old. A parent can tell the story to the kid in their mother tongue and perhaps use the same book to introduce them to reading books. Each of the six books are very good. Certainly a must in case you like to buy books for your children!
I had purchased this set of books at the recommendation of my boss and must admit my 2 years old daughter loves these books. With these books, she is getting into the habbit of reading every night before going to sleep.
the books are designed perfectly for the short attention span of a 2 year old, keeping them fully engrossed with the colourful pictures and repetitive phrases for the kid to remember.
A must-buy for any parent wanting their kid to get into reading.
Excellent set of books for beginners. children will enjoy reading them as the language is simple and words are repetitive. Comp...Read More

Once again to everyone thinking of posting a coaster, PUT IT IN A PARK FORMAT! ABSOLUTLY NO TRACK FILES!

Chizik should be available.... He has character and a " winning" record as head coach with a BCS title...
Report: Derek Dooley out as Tennessee football coach at season's end
Derek Dooley will be fired as the head football coach at the University of Tennessee after this season, according to a report on Tennessee-focused Rivals site volquest.com.
Dooley has been under increasing scrutiny throughout this season, his third in charge of the Volunteer football program. His team is winless in the Southeastern conference and owns a 4-6 record overall. The team's last loss to SEC newcomer Missouri was especially bad – Tennessee held a two touchdown lead, but allowed the Tigers to rally back. Missouri won the game 51-48 after four overtimes.
The Volunteers have a 15-20 record in three seasons with Dooley at the helm, with a 4-18 mark against SEC competition.
how about charlie strong at louisville? knows the SEC knows defense and has proven winning record?
i think (and im a dy hard tn fan)that it is time for an experienced coach like lets say John Grueden ......hey John you need a job .........
Goodbye Derrick Stooley
Maybe Tennessee can raffle off Dooleys stool??? For charity? Never saw a coach sitting on a stool before as the game was actually going on. What a whoosie weak guy Dooley is.
Dooley was a mishire but Kiffin left them hanging. Tennessee deserves a man for a coach not a weak wimp like Dooley.
Dooley should be a baker and make cream puffs and cakes but football is not for Dooley.
UT needs to hire a black coach
How about Phillip Fulmer? "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you got 'till it's gone".
Dooley is too wimpy and soft to be a head coach of anything. Football coaches have to be strong leaders not wimps. Dooley sitting on a stool on the sidelines was the clincher showing his weakness and high wimp factor. Could you ever imagine Fulmer sitting on a step stool coaching a game??
@ThomasWayneWren Yes, we know what we had with Fulmer. We had a coach who guided the Vols to the national championship at the end of the 1998 season and then sat back and allowed the program to begin declining. I appreciate all that Fulmer did for Tennessee, but he is NOT the answer to the current issues.
Losing Fulmer was the absolute right thing for UT, it just took them to long to get him out. As a UT alum I actually really like Dooley as a person. He has great character, however unfortunately that doesn't win ball games. I'm anxious to see who we end up with, a lot of folks are saying Kirby Smart is the front runner...we shall see.
Fulmer never had a broken hip dumb ass.
@Al6 Yes.
@Volsball33 @ThomasWayneWren Mike Hamilton was the problem, NOT Coach Fulmer. I'll say it again, because EVERYONE keeps forgetting Mike Hamilton. Mike Hamilton was the problem, NOT Coach Fulmer!
@BillJones1 Fulmer was too tough to ever sit on a stool for any thing. Dooley is too soft and feminine and weak and his team plays weak like Dooley.
@BillJones1 @Al6 Bill, actually you're the dumb ass here. Ray was referring to the fact that Dooley was using the stool because of HIS hip surgery.

John & Michele in the Morning
After 15 years, we're down to the last week. July 12, 2013 will be the last show for John & Michele in the Morning. There's nothing scandalous to report...sorry!
John will continue his reign as Springfield's morning show king, but he'll just be doing it with someone new.
Michele is moving on to a new phase of her career in the radio business. She'll still be in Springfield and still with Neuhoff Media, however instead of being on the air she's going to be focusing on all things digital. It's been a great 15 years, and John & Michele plan to spend this last week reminiscing with guests and playing some of the best moments of the past.
Michele would LOVE to hear from you this week. Write on the

The exam numbers will remain the same.At least one month prior to the update, details on the original and revised exam objectives will be made available for review in the Skills measured section of each exam detail webpage.Does anyone know more details about this? I'm especially interested in the exact date when 465 will be available in its current format.AFAIK this is the first time exam content is upgraded while exam numbers remain the same. This catches me on the wrong foot because I already took 464 and was planning to get my MCSE for SQL Server 2012 by also taking 465. Unfortunately, it's currently undefined what happens to my progress if I delay this exam until May as I was planning because 465 with SQL Server 2012 content will no longer be available by that time.Regards,BogdanP.S: I used the live chat feature from Microsoft's website and was unable to find more details from them. So currently I have to assume the worst case scenario, which means 465 will be upgraded on March 1st.See more posts on Born to LearnExam 70-465 wikiExam 70-465 forumFollow @MSLearning and @sqlsserverWho should take this exam?This exam is intended for database professionals who design and build database solutions in the organization.

Stealing from Goodwill: Ex-VP Embezzles over $1 Million
It was just like any other Wednesday morning in June 2010, when Director of the Division of Employment Security (DES), Gracia Backer, arrived at work. Little did she know that this particular day would be anything but average. Things started heating up when Backer received information from a caller, who indicated she had been in contact with DES Benefit Representative, Kevin Adams. Confusion and suspicion arose immediately considering there is no position in the DES titled, "Benefit Representative," and more importantly, there was no DES staff member named Kevin Adams.
Kevin Adams was the pseudonym that former Goodwill Executive, Ronald Partee, was using while impersonating a member of the DES. The DES's recognition that someone was impersonating a staff member was only the tip of the iceberg for an investigation that uncovered how deep Partee's scams actually went. Over the course of three years, Partee embezzled more than $1 million from MERS/Goodwill by using fraudulent bills, invoices, and letters sent to Goodwill, with which he fooled members of the company's accounts payable department into drafting checks.
While stealing from Goodwill, an establishment working to help those in need obtain work and provide affordable necessities, Partee led what the St. Louis Post-Dispatch deemed as a, "lavish lifestyle". According to the Post, he used the stolen money to purchase expensive vehicles, fund his traveling, and attend several sporting and concert events.
After realizing that someone was impersonating a DES employee, Backer contacted the Department Director, Larry Rebman. Director Rebman quickly notified the Department of Public Safety about the scam as well as released a video statement to warn the public. The matter then was assigned to the Missouri Highway Patrol, and in January 2011, Partee pled guilty to one count of felony embezzlement and another of money laundering. This year in May, Partee was sentenced to 70 months (nearly six years) in prison.
