Auburn Hills wants to generate alternative energy use
Thursday, July 18, 2013
The city of Auburn Hills is stepping up again in support of alternative energy use, this time by purchasing police cruisers and other city vehicles that run on propane and natural gas and also by passing a resolution to prevent fuel waste and support alternative fuel use in general.
The decision comes after the Ann Arbor-based Clean Energy Coalition provided the city with numerous recommendations spelled out in a Fuel Forward Fleet Study. It showed how the city could save money and reduce emissions by retrofitting city vehicles to be powered with natural gas or propane gas. It also made other recommendations such as reducing police car idling times and building an alternative fuel infrastructure.
The city council adopted the recommendations and also purchased eight propane auto gas units for the new 2013 Dodge Charger police pursuit vehicles, a fuel dispenser, a year's worth of propane fuel, and a jet and vacuum truck for street and sewer cleaning.
Ron Melchert, the city's director of public works, says about $4,000 will be saved over the 4.72 years, the average life of the police vehicles.
Melchert says the city will see a return on investment in two and a half years and reduce the city's reliance on foreign oil as well as decrease its greenhouse emissions by 13 percent.
The latest move follows the city's decision two years ago to promote electric vehicles by encouraging and supporting the inclusion of electric vehicle plug-ins at local businesses and with contractors and builders.
The city's attempts to boost alternative energy has made it a model for other cities, Mark Rabinksy, project manager for Clean Energy Coalition, says in a statement.
"The city of Auburn Hills has shown time and again they are a leader in Michigan. No other city in the state has been more active in promoting the use of electric vehicles and now, by supporting the advancement of other forms of alternative fuels, the city is paving the way for other municipalities to do the same."

State grants available for food trucks & farmers markets
Thursday, July 11, 2013
Farmers market organizers and food truck operators have a chance to get some green -- $10,000 to $50,000 -- from the state if they can prove their business is unique, innovative and will be successful at making their communities a place with a special vibe and feel.
The state and the
Michigan Economic Development Corporation
wants to promote food entrepreneurship as a means to promote a sense of place in Michigan communities by awarding matching grants through the Farmers Market Grant Program and the Mobile Cuisine Start-Up Program.
"Farmers markets and food trucks improve our downtowns and bring vitality and economic growth to our communities," says MEDC President and CEO Michael A. Finney in a statement announcing the grants. "These grants will support food entrepreneurs and local markets, strengthen communities and create jobs in our state."
The state will award up to $200,000 in grants to farmers' markets and up to $100,000 to food trucks.

Dearborn transit station design moves along
Thursday, June 27, 2013
While construction moves ahead on a new transit center in Dearborn, the focus is on how to develop the land in and around the station and how best to connect it to the community.
The station is scheduled to open in 2014 on Michigan Avenue in west Dearborn and, if all goes well, to be a stimulus for economic development and even a local attraction.
The station is multi-modal, a place where trains, buses, taxis will pick up and drop off passengers. It will be a stop on an Ann Arbor to Detroit Amtrak line which is also undergoing improvements to the tracks and the trains in preparation for high speed rail service between Detroit and Chicago. It can also be a spot for bikers and pedestrians to pick up public transit or carpools. In addition, the center is seen as a way to link Dearborn's neighborhoods to its commercial thoroughfares and landmarks such as The Henry Ford and the Ford Performing Arts Center and major employers and schools such as University of Michigan Dearborn and Henry Ford Community College.
The project is part of a federal transportation plan to stimulate transit-oriented development, which promotes public transit and transit centers as magnet for economic prosperity by leading to the creation of businesses, improvement of neighborhoods and quality of life and by connecting cities and bringing about a sense of place. Dearborn received the largest federal grant in Michigan, $28.2 million, to build the station.
Focuses of the recent public input meetings included what parts or features of the city should connect to the transit station and how it should be designed.
One design could create pedestrian paths rich in landscape with a splash fountain for play, benches and other amenities that make the station a place for the community to come together.
Dearborn was chosen as one of five cities to receive planning and design assistance from the MIPlace Partnership.
The MIPlace Partnership is a collaborative effort of the Michigan Municipal League, Michigan State Housing Development Authority and Michigan State University.

Soccer and lacrosse complex expanding in Pontiac
Thursday, June 20, 2013
A regional soccer and lacrosse complex that includes the largest indoor soccer site in North America is expanding, adding indoor and outdoor fields on a piece of property in Pontiac that was once a General Motors Corp. workplace.
Ultimate Soccer Arenas
will build on 14.6 acres along Centerpoint Parkway behind and next to the Ultimate Soccer Arenas complex on East South Boulevard an roll fields for lacrosse, a traditionally East Coast sport that's taken off in metro Detroit and Michigan.
The expansion will add nearly 70,000 square feet and a fourth field and seating to the indoor facility, making it the largest non-professional sports facility in the world, says George Derderian, co-owner of Ultimate Soccer Arenas along with Tom Korpela. Ultimate Soccer Arenas opened in 2007 and moves about 1 million people through in a year and about 20,000 people use it at a time 10 or more times a year.
In addition to youth soccer and lacrosse events, the facility is the site of high school and collegiate soccer and lacrosse, high school and college graduations, after-school education and various community and cultural activities. It also is the home field of the Michigan Bucks, a minor league amateur soccer team, and the Detroit Mechanics pro disc team.
Construction will begin this summer and be completed in time for the fall sports season. About 100 construction jobs will be created and 20 full-time jobs.
The outdoor portion of the former automotive-industry property, which has been cleaned up and developed by
RACER Trust
, will be turned into a synthetic turf fields for lacrosse and soccer and enough bleacher seating for 2,500 spectators and 600 parking spaces.

HAWK signals in Macomb County may make busy streets safer for walkers
Thursday, June 20, 2013
A new kind of pedestrian crossing may be coming to Macomb County and making at least two busy streets there safer for pedestrians.
The crossings called HAWK otherwise knowns as High Intensity Activated Crosswalks - were first used in Ann Arbor in 2010 and have resulted in a fewer pedestrian car accidents, says Michigan Department of Transportation spokesman Rob Morosi.
In Macomb County there will be public meetings to discuss the two proposed crossings at wide, busy intersections, both on Gratiot Avenue between Quinn and 15 Mile roads in Clinton Township.
The second meeting to discuss the proposal is set for 4-6 p.m. Tuesday June 25 at Parker Elementary School in Clinton Township.
A HAWK signal is controlled by the pedestrian and gives walkers more time to cross and clearer warnings and instructions about when and how quickly to cross.

$1 million in redevelopment grants coming to Macomb County
Thursday, June 13, 2013
The Environmental Protection Agency is sending $1 million Macomb County's way so that local economic development officials can redevelop brownfield property that may be contaminated.
A brownfield is land that can be difficult to redevelop, reuse or expand because of pollution or perceived pollution. The upside is that brownfields let developers use municipal infrastructure that's already in place and also preserve open space.
"Brownfield sites create special challenges due to the expense involved with environmental cleanup," says Stephen Cassin, executive director of Macomb County Planning and Economic Development. "These funds will help put some of our vacant properties back into new use while creating investment and new jobs in our key industrial areas."
Macomb County and one of 240 communities nationwide, and the only county chosen in Michigan, to receive the grant from the EPA's Revolving Loan Fund.
In coming weeks and months, county officials will begin to identify and prioritize sites that have the most redevelopment promise.

Is "community solar" next frontier in alternative energy?
Thursday, May 23, 2013
Research into ways of opening up opportunities to ordinary citizens and businesses interested in building solar energy generators is underway, thanks to a grant from the
Michigan Economic Development Corporation
Think of it as the community garden of alternative energy. It lets shareholders or investors participate in a shared generation or renewable energy site in exchange for some benefit based on their investment, possibly savings on utility costs or profit. The concept is not a new one in cities such as Seattle and other parts of the Northwest.
"Renewable energy resources, such as community solar, offer many potential community, economic, environmental, national security, and societal benefits for the state," MEDC President and CEO Michael A. Finney says in an announcement of the grant. "Through this study, we can identify ways to make community solar a growing solution for locally-owned clean energy."
The $33,304 grant to the
Great Lakes Renewable Energy Association
will be used to perform a Community Solar PV Garden Feasibility Study that will help the MEDC's
Renewable Energy Demonstration Program
determine what the barriers are to forming community solar projects.
Barriers include high up-front costs and lack of optimal places to install solar gardens.

Car Condo proposal in Pontiac could restart vacant GM property
Thursday, May 23, 2013
A vacant brownfield in Pontiac where General Motors once operated could be the site of an auto-related business trend -- car condos. Basically storage sites and gathering places for car lovers, car condos not only provide a place to safely keep a car but also to service it.
The proposal for M1 Concourse calls for a complex of four to six buildings, each one with 14-16 garages that can be tricked out by owners. Other possibilities for the 89.5-acre property include entertainment aspects such as an amphitheater and restaurants for visitors who bring may come for car shows or special events.
The initial part of the plan to re-use the site at Woodward Avenue and South Boulevard has been OK'd by city officials but still has other approvals to clear as developers work to re-use the property.
At an announcement of the project Wednesday, city and county officials expressed support for the M1 Concourse and RACER Trust.
, Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response Trust, was created by a U.S. Bankruptcy Court settlement to help clean up and redevelop former General Motors properties in 14 states.
The car condo concept has taken off in other cities around the country, especially developments known for high-priced cars kept by deep-pocketed owners who want a club of like-minded car lovers.
Woodward Warehouse
, a much smaller version of what the M1 Concourse could be, opened last summer in Royal Oak not far from the avenue that carries the Woodward Dream Cruise. It is finding a market in storage, detailing, rebuilding, event hosting and member socializing.

Grove Street to get $1.1M makeover in downtown Farmington
Thursday, May 09, 2013
Construction started this week on a project to turn a beat up, outdated main street in downtown Farmington into a boulevard streetscape of greenery, decorative lighting and stamped walkways.
The $1.1-million Grove Street Reconstruction Project will also add parking to downtown and make over a tired strip retail center as well as connect it to a major pedestrian crosswalk that will lead to another shopping center.
Water mains will also be replaced and a plaza space with seating will be part of the new downtown layout.
The goal of city officials and the Downtown Development Authority is to make downtown more attractive, walkable, and busy as well as match it to a streetscape already redone. The plans call for turning a swath of pavement into a boulevard separated by a center island with angled parking along parts of it.
Mayor Tom Buck says the project is as much about attracting families to downtown as it is attracting small businesses and boosting the local economy.
The project will completely remove and replace Grove Street from Grand River to Main Street. The work was delayed in 2009 due to the costs. It is expected to be completed in two phases over a 10-week period and ready to use sometime in July.

at the Oakland County Executive Office building, 2100 Pontiac Lake Road, in Waterford will open May 9 and offer regular walk-in hours after that. The hours for May 9 are 9:30-noon and 1:30-4:30. The business center is on the first floor of Building 41W.
"We usually operate on an appointment-only basis but many entrepreneurs walk into our One Stop Shop with questions on how to get started with their business idea," says Greg Doyle, supervisor of the One Stop Shop Business Center. "By designating special walk-in days, we hope to reach more entrepreneurs and help them understand their next steps as well as present the resources we can make available to them. Our aim is to get them started quickly in a way that makes the most sense to their unique situation."
Counselors at the business center can answer specific questions, suggest planning tools and give direction on where to go to solve problems or achieve goals. All sessions are confidential. The counselors have expertise in business development, community planning, financing and market research.

Oakland County adds fresh foods market to downtown Pontiac
Thursday, April 25, 2013
An effort to increase Pontiac residents' access to fresh, healthy foods is spreading in Oakland County with the opening of a third goverment-run market.
The newest market will operate one day a week on Tuesdays and sell fresh fruits and vegetables at a low cost.
The markets are a project of the Healthy Pontiac We Can! Coalition and the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency.
Two other markets sell on Fridays and Saturdays, and all three share recipes for meals using fresh foods, lead cooking demonstrations and offer free samples.
"This market is a part of Oakland County's strategy to improve the quality of life of our residents through healthier lifestyles," says Kathy Forzley, Oakland County Health Division manager and health officer. "Consuming a diet high in fruits and vegetables decreases the risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and some cancers."

Downtown Rochester seeks public input on parking improvements
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Downtown Rochester is coming off a complete rebuild of Main Street, and now city planners see this as an ideal time to determine if parking options downtown also need updating.
To figure it out, the Rochester City Council and the Rochester Downtown Development Authority have gone the survey route, asking anyone with an opinion on what's needed and what's not when it comes to parking. The survey, which also includes an open-ended question, is getting high responses and also yielding useful information not necessarily related to parking, says Kristi Trevarrow, executive director of the Rochester Downtown Development Authority.
"We're getting an insane response, over 100 surveys in the first 40 minutes. We're at almost 800 now," she says.
The Main Street makeover, which was completed in November and included a re-do of downtown sidewalks and the addition of amenities to make being in downtown easier and more convenient, took out all parking meters.
Before deciding whether to replace those and make any other parking changes, say structures, kiosks, or re-arranged lots, the survey was sent out. The city council, planning commission and the DDA will review the findings April 10.
"It's fast. We don't want this to be a long, drawn-out thing…We want it to be a working document," says Trevarrow.
The changes will affect not only immediate parking needs, but attempt to plan for the future. The last parking study was done in 2003 and determined that the parking as it was was adequate.
"If a big development were to come in, maybe residential with retail or a large company, we want to be prepared," Trevarrow says. "The economy is snapping back. At some point there will be a development. We want to be prepared and have that answer when the time comes."

Getting Michigan cities redevelopment ready
Thursday, March 14, 2013
Just over 35 cities and townships in Michigan are joining a new state program that teaches them how to prepare their communities for redevelopment and attract the kind of development they want.
Of the cities accepted into the first round of training and certification in the
Michigan Economic Development Corporation's
Redevelopment Ready Communities program, eight are in metro Detroit. Ann Arbor is also on the list.
It, along with
Lathrup Village and Novi, will receive a formal
Redevelopment Ready Communities
evaluation that could lead to certification as a Redevelopment Ready Community. This means they either have outlined or have plans to outline their redevelopment strategies and draw development to fit their community. This designation could also make them eligible for redevelopment grants.
Dearborn, Clawson, Farmington Hills, Hamtramck, Wixom, and White Lake Township will receive best practice training and assistance and could move onto the certification process later.
They all will learn how to creatively re-use space, support and attract economic innovation, and devise devise plans that bring in redevelopment investment and in turn rebuild thriving communities for employees, residents and recreation.
The program was originally launched by the Michigan Suburbs Alliance in 2003, and its success led to the state program.

Unearthing the Clinton River as economic development in Pontiac
Thursday, February 14, 2013
The vision is to have a river running through downtown Pontiac, one with restaurants, offices and shops alongside and perhaps small boats bringing in people and, ideally, ripples of prosperity.
The Clinton River is currently covered up, piped underground beneath a parking lot and the Phoenix Center, a deteriorating city-owned structure that could come down if the vision to daylight the Clinton River is actually pursued. The river opens up on either side of downtown.
As it is now, the Phoenix Center is used only occasionally.
"By daylighting the Clinton River, if it winds up with a river walk along it, it's going to be something that can be used everyday," says Bill Watch, chairman of the
Urban Land Institute Michigan.
The idea of daylighting the river, something done in other cities, including Kalamazoo, is being explored with a feasibility study in a partnership between the
Urban Land Institute
Oakland County and the city of Pontiac.
In June, students from the institute's
Larson Center for Leadership
, 34 of them considered business leaders, will come up with a document that outlines what it would take as far as a process, expenses and time to uncover the river.
The student leaders work in real estate, development, planning and other areas and will complete the "Daylighting the Clinton River" feasibility study in order to graduate from Larson.
In part they will determine if the benefits of uncovering the river outweigh the costs. One cost barrier is out of the way as the county has agreed to pay for the demolition of the Phoenix Center, which has seen better days.
"Oakland County had come to us in the fall and they wanted ULI's help to study this," Watch says. "This is something they've been thinking about.The county wants to do something for downtown Pontiac. It's a sort of legacy project."
Uncovering the river, if approved, wouldn't take all that long, he says. It's bringing the investors and companies and residents in to build there, work, and live there.
"It's not going to happen tomorrow. It will be years or even decades," he says. "But this is going to be something that could provide an attraction. It will give Pontiac a feature to bring people in."
The Clinton River was once a scenic gathering place for downtown Pontiac, but it also came with flood issues. It was paved over, built on and covered with drainage projects in an era when the economic draw of having a town on a river -- if well designed -- was less appreciated.
San Antonio's Riverwalk was a flood control project turned top tourist attraction for the Texas city.
"On a smaller scale this is what the Clinton River could become," Watch says. "Kalamazoo daylighted the river there and we'll be looking to them to learn about their experience."
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson has called for daylighting the river for several months now, telling the
Oakland Press
in June, "Every city would love to have a river running through it, and the ones that do use it very well. The river becomes a focal point....I think that's in Pontiac's future."

Ferndale's Park + adds up to easier parking
Thursday, February 07, 2013
Crowded downtown parking is both a curse and a blessing.
What is a blessing for businesses busy with customers can be a curse to those customers circling, searching for coins or winding up with expired meter tickets. Parking can be also be a deterrent at times for businesses working to keep good employees.
The city of Ferndale and the Ferndale Downtown Development Authority are trying to make the whole process of parking easier with the new
Ferndale Park +
system. The new system will include multi-space pay stations, rather than individual meters, and will take cash, coins, credit cards or ParkMobile, a pay by phone or online parking service.
The pay stations, called Luke II's, will be solar-powered and cover about 900 spaces in 13 parking lots. The parking design has changed too, into a concentric layout that makes the most convenient spaces available to consumers.
The system is expected to go into service by mid-February, after signage and such is complete. Improvements such as increasing the number of available spaces will be ongoing. Some individual meters will remain.
The concentric system will prioritize parking spaces and set rates according to the users. More affordable parking spaces on the edges of parking lots will cost less (ideal for employees), and closer-in spots will go at new, higher rates. Employees can also buy parking passes.
"Instituting all of the components of Ferndale Park+ is a very big step to improving the parking experience in downtown Ferndale," says Ferndale City Manager April Lynch. "Park+ allows us, as managers of the system, to get more use out of every space we have, while planning for future upgrades and the addition of more spaces."

Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem
By Stephanie Zacharek
Director Jake Paltrow's feature debut has all the hallmarks of an earnest young man's feature debut, and while that is not necessarily a bad thing, I can only imagine that it fit Sundance like a fingerless glove when it had its premiere there earlier this year. Paltrow, a veteran TV and film scriptwriter, has chosen the quirky relationship drama as his milieu, and cast older sister Gwyneth as deathly drab Dora, the female half of the film's rapidly staling couple. Martin Freeman, working the last five minutes out of that butter-knife pixie cut and its attendant charms, plays Gary, a failed musician and emotionally absent boyfriend slumming in the jingle racket to make ends meet. When a kohl-eyed, white-tuxedoed beauty played by Penélope Cruz begins visiting Gary in his dreams, bearing soothing tidings of well-being and the occasional morning hard-on, Gary retreats from the truly awful Dora into his good night. It's unclear why either half of this interminable couple ever liked the other, and though Paltrow works up a vivid, sensual zetz for the dream sequences, the murky palette of Gary's waking life gets oppressive in its intentional contrast. Simon Pegg is abidingly repellent as the best friend and ugly face of male narcissism, playing fast and loose with his own life while Gary tiptoes through dreams, but even the nice twist of a fantasy made unexpectedly, then expectation-crushingly real can't uncork the hermetically sealedif largely inoffensivefate of this boy-meets-compromise tale.

Clover coffee brewers (SEA)
Does anyone know which two or three Starbucks stores in Seattle have a Clover coffee brewer? Do any other Seattle coffee shops have them? The only info I could find on them were for independent coffee shops in Portland. (Plese don't reply if you are going to bash Starbucks. I'm not a loyal customer, but am not looking to start a negative thread about the company, either.)
This article http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/busines... shows a picture of a Clover at "the Queen Anne neighborhood Starbucks". They also mention that Zoka is continuing to use Clovers.
re: terrier
the pioneer square trabant hs the clover
re: broksonic
Stumptown has been quite vocal that they will not use Clover anymore because they don't want to have Starbucks as a supplier. They might not have gotten rid of their Clovers yet, but they probably will soon.
re: Nettie
I didn't see a clover in Stumptown this weekend. Heck, for that matter, I don't remember seeing one in there before this weekend either.
The new coffee shop in Ballard, down the street from Java Bean... Aster, I think? They have a Clover too, or did when they opened.
And Trabant isn't getting rid of their Clover, at least acc'd to the barista in the U-dist...
The Starbucks at 4th & Columbia has one. I've been reading about the Stumptown mishegoss in Portland, so while I was in Seattle last week, I opted to try a "promotional" cup from the Clover to taste what the hype is all about. While waiting for my cup to brew, I enjoyed watching the little hockey puck of coffee grounds rise up from the brewhole in the center of the machine. It was a decent, smooth cup of coffee. I can't say I was wowed. Maybe if the coffee had been made with Stumptown's beans...

Fat Tuesday: Hypoglycemia Is Tied To Low Income In Diabetics
I disagree with this study's conclusion. It's not that I don't believe that low-income is tied to diabetes and hypoglycemia at the end of the pay cycle. I do believe it. But I suspect that these diabetics are eating too much inexpensive high-carbohydrate junk foods at the end of their pay cycle, rather than starving.Keep reading »

Need help with brunch menu
- g
- GeorgiaMom Jul 22, 2013 04:02 AM
I'm hosting a 75th bday brunch for 21 ppl. So far, the menu is: grits bar (grits in crockpot with toppings: sharp cheddar, smoked Gouda, shrimp, Creole sauce, diced tomatoes, caramelized sweet onions, scallions, chicken-apple sausage), crustless quiches in 9x13 pan, mini muffins, fruit salad, chocolate bday cake. I was originally thinking of doing a cold rice salad but nixed that b/c it would be two grain-type dishes. So, my two questions: how many crustless quiches do I need (2 or 3) and do I need another dish and if so, what? Everyone invited is Jewish, so no pork. Thanks!
How about a nice green salad with a citrus dressing to balance some of the richness?
I would only make one quiche.
If they're Jewish, can they eat shrimp?
My understand is that it's not kosher.
How about a tray of lox--smoked salmon, capers, red onion, hard boiled egg, with cream cheese and mini bagels? Delicious and you don't have to be Jewish to love it.
Officially, shrimp is not kosher. However, these are all Reform Jews and won't eat pork but will eat shrimp. Go figure!
A green salad sounds easy. Didn't want to go the bagels & lox route just because it's very common & I wanted to do something different.
re: GeorgiaMom
Green salad does work. If you want to some type of grilled veggie salad that is room temp or cold you do do that make ahead also. Zucchini are abundant now.
re: GeorgiaMom
Since you're doing grits, what about a lighter version of collard greens, maybe even a vegetarian version?
re: chowser
You could do a raw kale salad as a lighter nod to collard greens. It's better when made ahead, too, which is great for entertaining.
re: piccola
I've never had a raw kale salad. Do you treat it like other lettuces?
re: chowser
chowser, it needs to soak in something acidic for a few hours. Others swear by massaging it but this recipe works for me and is delicious. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
re: GretchenS
Thanks--I was wondering about the toughness so the soaking makes sense. I'll have to give this a try! I've been juicing it but it gets old pretty fast.
re: chowser
Yeah, letting it marinate is key, otherwise it can be unpleasantly chewy. But that's about the only difference.
re: GeorgiaMom
In our non kosher Jewish home we ate shellfish with abandon but never pork.
re: magiesmom
That's funny because I have friends who are Jewish who eat pork but never shellfish.
re: GeorgiaMom
Hate to be a downer, but have you checked the ingredients on the chicken sausage? If they are not skinless, most of the companies use pork skins.
re: critter101
Thanks for that tip! I'll do that and maybe have to get some other type of sausage. Maybe the raw turkey breakfast sausage and take it out of the skin before cooking like hamburger meat. Hmmmm.
re: GeorgiaMom
I know this is well past the time of your brunch, but for future reference: the Aidell's Mini Chicken and Apple Sausage do not have pork casings. The larger ones do (I think, because the label doesn't say that they don't), but the Minis do not have any pork. And they are yummy. :-)
I would think that two would be fine, especially with the grits bar.
For another dish, some kind of greens would be nice, as suggested by a couple of posters.
re: Berheenia
I would skip the quiches entirely, since the add-ins would largely duplicate those for the grits bar.
Maybe a substantial soup of some sort instead. Fresh corn chowder would be nice. With crusty bread or rolls.
re: greygarious
I would have a hard time finding 21 people who eat grits in my neck of the woods. Quiche on the other hand is always the first thing to go.
EDIT: just saw OP post about grits and her guest pool.
re: monavano
Fruit salad is already on the menu, but I agree that a green salad would round things out. You might also consider serving some type of protein (turkey bacon, chicken sausage, etc.) separately from the grits bar, for those who don't care for grits (which, IMO, are a fairly polarizing dish).
I would think that two 9x13 pans of quiche would suffice with everything else you're serving, unless you know that your group has big appetites.
re: biondanonima
Quiche should cover the protein, but I love turkey sausage and eat that most of the time.
re: biondanonima
Thanks y'all. Yes, I'm in Atlanta. Grits will be welcome by most. Also, 13 of the 21 guests are "senior citizens" and don't eat a ton. I figure those who didn't want the grits could just put some of the shrimp or the chicken-apple sausage (which I will slice & then saute) on their plates. I'm going to do two quiches (one red pepper & mushrooms b/c that is what my picky child will eat and the other TBD). Green salad, maybe with grilled veggies, and a citrus dressing. Thanks again! My first time posting to chowhound! It might become an addiction...
re: GeorgiaMom
Sounds great. Plus the fixin's for the grits will be yummy on the quiche too.
re: GeorgiaMom
Sounds fantastic, let us know how it goes!
How about a cold corn salad with shallots, grape tomatoes and a redwine vingerette?
That grit bar sounds wonderful.
I would add some plain, buttermilk biscuits to your mini muffin offering. Some folks don't like sweet breakfast breads. Depending on your audience, I would consider adding sausage gravy (chicken or turkey sausage). I'm also in the South, and I've found biscuits and gravy to be more popular than quiche (not with me, but with my guests). Also since you are already serving sweet chocolate birthday cake, the plain buttermilk biscuits would be appropriate. Hard to beat a good buttermilk biscuit - and should satisfy any picky eaters, too!
Sounds delicious and delightful to me! I would be sure to have salt, pepper, and a few hot sauces available near the grits station. Mmmmm, grits.

Florida celebrates 500th anniversary
This week, all eyes will be on the nation's oldest city as it celebrates Florida's Quincentennial.
Today marks 500 years since Ponce De Leon stepped foot on the state's sandy shores. To celebrate, a variety of events have been scheduled. This includes colorful reenactments, cannon firings, a musket drill, and a visit from the Governor.
Governor Scott arrived at the Castillo De San Marco to help fire a cannon at 6:45 Tuesday morning. This signaled the start of a 2-day celebration of the anniversary.
He was joined by the state's top elected officials who were also in town for a Cabinet meeting at Flagler College. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam says they're lucky to be here and it's a special opportunity.
Tuesday's events wrap up at 11 a.m. with a public ceremony where a bronze statue of Ponce De Leon will be dedicated.

Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem
By Stephanie Zacharek
A rather beautifully produced indie mix of melodrama, ethnographic detail, and modern Southern gothic, The Kingbegins with a symbolic recipe Don McLean might find shaky: a Corpus Christi evangelist with a secret (William Hurt), plus a wild-eyed, navy-fresh kid named Elvis who might be his illegit son (Gael García Bernal), plus loads of suggestions about gardens, snakes, and blood-soaked sin. Brit director James Marsh evidently has a touristy yen for lowdown Americanatwo of his earlier documentaries were Wisconsin Death Trip and The Burger & the King: The Life & Cuisine of Elvis Presley. Be that as it may, and despite a story that's as lackadaisical as it is programmatic, The King has a hypnotically naturalist vibe, from the Jesus-clean Lone Star suburbs and low-rent, uncaricatured preachifying to the fall of afternoon light through old house windows and onto a teenager's skin. Bernal's weaselly nowhere man insinuates himself into Hurt's disciplined family and between the legs of its pubescent daughter (Pell James), giving the localized action a dose of ancient-Greek octane.
The film survives on a thick diet of genuine acting moments. Bernal, as the Grand Guignol catalyst, plays it with the nearly hidden wariness of a sociopath, but it's impossible not to believe Paul Dano as the family's pale, earnest scion/minister-to-be and James as the vulnerable girl among bow hunters whose job it is to swab up the deer guts. Best of all, Hurt expands on a great American archetypethe neocon mega-dad who's on a mission but lost, holy but poisoned from within, macho but never very sure of what's right. Probably no other actor standing today could've brought this much juice to such a potentially simplistic character.

If you've never liked hummus that's because you only bought that yucky store bought "stuff". Stay away from that and serve this on nice warm crusty bread and watch everyone's faces in delight! I always add more lemon juice, garlic, and salt to my tastes.

The Elm Grove Community Foundation, Elm Grove Business Association and local artists have teamed up to design custom benches for businesses in downtown Elm Grove.
The Sitting Pretty project debuted in May and the hand-painted benches are meant to represent the owners that choose to purchase one. Community Foundation President Helen Shiely said the foundation has sold about 10 benches so far.
"It's a way to promote interest in downtown Elm Grove," Shiely said.
Buyers work with the artist to develop a colorful design that represents the recipient's brand. Benches can be purchased for businesses or donated to schools, churches or other organizations.
Anyone interested in purchasing a bench can call the Elm Grove Community Foundation at (262) 784-4591.

Nationwide FBI PSAs warn of skyrocketing mortgage fraud
Updated On: Oct 17 2012 06:23:07 AM EDT
Actor Tim Dekay, known for his role as FBI Special Agent Peter Burke on the TV series "White Collar," is helping the FBI send an important message to homeowners.
The FBI has released new public service announcements to warn homeowners about fraud schemes targeting Americans trying to modify home loans.
According to the PSA, fraud schemes have reached unprecedented levels. Last year, con artists swindled thousands of homeowners out of millions of dollars. The year-long Distressed Homeowner Initiative resulted in 530 criminal defendants charged, including 172 executives, in 285 federal criminal indictments filed in U.S. District Courts across the country.
More than 73,000 homeowners nationwide had been victimized by fraud schemes, the government said. Law enforcement estimated the losses at more than $1 billion.
Schemes often involve con artists who promise homeowners that foreclosure can be avoided, for a fee, by having "investors" purchase their mortgage or by transferring their title to an entity involved with the fraud.
FBI Assistant Director Kevin Perkins said many cases were concentrated in Southern California. During September, 11 people were indicted for their alleged roles in a loan modification scheme that victimized more than 4,000 people. Many of them lost their homes to foreclosure.
U.S. home foreclosures spiked during the recession due to the credit crisis, worsening unemployment and plummeting property values.
Perkins said authorities can sometimes help homeowners get back "some" of their money, but lost homes are seldom recovered due to legal complexities.
To avoid the skyrocketing number of scams, the FBI has amped up its website with public service announcements and wants the public to know about it.
For more information and to watch the PSA's, head to the FBI's website.

The Pebble Beach Challenge Benefit Golf Tournament underway
GILFORD — The Golf Club at Patrick's Place is inviting area golfers to play at the Lakes Region's newest golf amenity, The Golf Club at Patrick's Place, as part of The Pebble Beach Challenge Golf Tournament.
Golfers will play in a 4-person scramble format on the beautiful Pebble Beach Golf Links, rated the top public golf course in the country. "November is the month for men's health awareness and we wanted to use our club to help with the local efforts at LRGHealthcare" explains PGA Professional and Club Manager Dan Wilkins. "It's also getting time for one of the greatest community events we know of, the LNH Children's Auction, and we wanted to help get the ball rolling for another record breaking year. It's really our pleasure to open up our club to support both of these great programs".
Beginning Monday, November 18 through Friday, November 22, local golfers are invited to participate in The Pebble Beach Challenge Golf Tournament, a 4-person scramble. Foursomes can register to play anytime that week, with all scores completed by Friday the 22 at 3 p.m. A cocktail reception and awards ceremony will follow downstairs in Patrick's Emerald Room at 4 p.m., where best scores and contest winners will be acknowledged.
"Many of the leading causes of death for men, heart disease and cancer for example, are preventable. There are ways men can protect themselves and lead longer, healthier lives" states Dr. Theodore Capron, LRGHealthcare physician at Belknap Family Health in Meredith. "We are pleased that The Golf Club at Patrick's Place is taking the opportunity to support men's health with the The Pebble Beach Challenge. It will be a great tournament and a great opportunity to educate men about health care issues, including reminding them about the importance of health promotion."
"The Pebble Beach Challenge is a great way to help gear up for the upcoming Children's Auction" explains Michael Trombly, auction chair and General Manager of Binney Media. "This facility is a really great place to play golf and we can be assured of perfect weather for the tournament. We hope the area golfers will get out and participate in this inaugural event".

LHS Key Club kicks off Homelessness Awareness Week
LACONIA — The Laconia High School Key Club is currently taking part in Homelessness Awareness week, which runs annually from November 18 to 22.
To help raise awareness of homelessness the Key Club members are conducting a canned food and paper goods drive. Local members of the community can drop items in boxes located at LRGH, the Laconia Public Library and the Bank of New Hampshire.
The Key Club will kick off a weekend of volunteering on Friday, November 22 as they sleep out on the front lawn of Laconia High School in cardboard boxes donated by the Gilford Lowes. This act is intended to make the community more aware of the hardships homeless members of the community have to face. Roadside donations in front of the high school are greatly appreciated, as all money collected will go towards Saint Vincent de Paul and the Salvation Army.
In addition to sleeping out on the Friday night, Key Club members will be at Vista from 8 a.m. until noon collecting additional canned goods and monetary donations to benefit the cause.
