Providing autism-friendly non-judgmental environments for family dining, socializing and connecting with others who share similar joys and challenges.
About Us
Going to a family restaurant should be an enjoyable experience. A time to relax, enjoy good food and spend time with your family. Let someone else do the cooking and cleaning.
Unfortunately, for those of us who have a child with autism dining out can be anxiety provoking and stressful. As parents, we may feel that "all eyes are on us" when our kids exhibit certain behaviors, have outbursts or refuse to sit still. Other diners may be disturbed and the well intentioned wait staff doesn't really know the best way to help out.
Many of us decide it is just not worth the effort and that is unfortunate.
We created Autism Eats to bring the fun back to eating out.
Our dinner parties are held in private rooms of restaurants or function facilities. Food is served buffet or family style so there is no waiting. Music and lighting are adjusted to accommodate those with sensory sensitivity. These are family dinners and all attending have a loved one on the spectrum so there is no need to apologize, explain or feel uncomfortable. It is an opportunity to enjoy a night out and socialize with others who have many of the same joys and challenges in common.
Our Mission
Autism Eats provides autism-friendly non-judgmental environments for family dining, socializing and connecting with others who share similar joys and challenges.

El Cajon, Calif. – In one of the most grueling SCORE International Baja 1000 races to date Rob MacCachren's #11 FOX-equipped Trophy Truck was first to cross the 1275-mile race's finish line. Sharing driving duties from Ensenada to La Paz with Andy McMillin, the team conquered the hurricane-ravaged Baja terrain and bested over 200 competitors. With a total time of 22 hours, 31 minutes and 28 seconds, the team claimed victory nearly 29 minutes ahead of the next finisher.
Colorado Springs – We have had several class wins in the Baja but the race is not something you ever really conquer. No matter how many times I race there, it never fails to drop my jaw. It has little to do with a typical American desert race, it is the Baja 1000. The only thing you can prepare for is for everything to go awry. At times the race is peaceful, other times intense with screaming crowds, often terrifying with unseen hazards hiding in a sinister haze.
I had the privilege of driving the start of the race this year for the BFGoodrich Tires BC-1 car. The start definitely falls in the "intense" category and I loved every minute of it. The excitement and hazard of the fans lining the course has no equivalent. Fans try to touch the car as it goes by and dumbest of all – even lie in the road on the far side of jumps. While a wild ride, we made it through with nothing but positive experiences and put 35 miles on the 2nd place car in the first 308 miles.
After official review of tracking data, SCORE International released the official results of the 2014 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 this morning. Taking the victory in Trophy Truck is Rob MacCachren, followed by Luke McMillin and Cameron Steele in second and third, respectively. Justin Davis earned the win in Class 1, holding off Justin Matney and Damen Jefferies.
According to SCORE International, the dream team of Rob MacCachren, Andy McMillin and Jason Voss have won the 2014 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, though results are still unofficial pending SCORE review. After qualifying as the second fastest Trophy Truck last week in Las Vegas, MacCachren and team used the clean air to their advantage to win the 1,275-mile race in the No. 11 Ford F-150 Trophy Truck.
Ensenada, Baja California Mexico – The SCORE International Baja 1000 (B1K), is known as the granddaddy of off-road racing. It started as a mere challenge to see who could get to La Paz in the shortest possible time and has turned into one of the most grueling and competitive races on earth. Several drivers have won multiple times; a few have done it back to back. No single driver has won three straight. That is the challenge that lies ahead for BJ Baldwin. BJ has won back to back in his Monster Energy, Toyo Tires, Hoonigan, Method Race Wheels, King Shocks, Rigid Industries and Red Kap Work Clothes Trophy Truck; driving the entire race without relief. At the 47th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, he will be out to make history with his third straight win.
The Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, (B1K) is one of the greatest contests in motorsports. The course is run as a loop or point to point. This year's race, the 47th, is a point to point peninsula run. It starts in Ensenada and travels a staggering 1,275 miles south to La Paz. Shaffer Motorsports will be putting in overtime driving the Transfer Case Express class 10 car nearly 300 miles farther than the touted 1000 miles.
RIVERSIDE, California – Stronghold Motorsports will close the 2014 off road racing season this week by making its first appearance in the legendary SCORE Baja 1000.
Scott Bailey, Brandon Bailey and Larry Job will divide the driving duties in the MAVTV/Toyo Tires/SolarWorld AlumiCraft Chevrolet Class 1 car for a desert marathon of approximately 1,275 miles down and across the Baja California peninsula from Ensenada in the north to La Paz in the south.
Job last week turned in the fastest lap in the class at a qualifying session in Las Vegas and Stronghold will be the first Class 1 car to take the green flag when the four-wheel entries get under way beginning at 12:30 p.m. on November 13th. (The motorcycle classes will get under way at 6:30 a.m.)
ENSENADA, Mexico — Pre-running, planning and all preparations are completed as 240 official entries from 34 U.S. States and 17 countries are ready for the green flag to drop Thursday for the 47th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race.
This year's legendary desert classic, the final event of the 2014 SCORE World Desert Championship, is being held in Mexico on a brutally-rugged race-record 1,275-mile SCORE signature desert race course.
Motorcycles and ATVs will begin their journey starting at 6 a.m. (PT) Thursday and after a break of five and one-half hours, the cars and trucks will start receiving the green flag at 12:30 p.m. (PT).47th Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 includes 104 racers who have combined for 318 class wins in the Granddaddy of All Desert Races.
ENSENADA, MEXICO – The 47th running of the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 marks the longest desert race of the season and the opportunity for BFGoodrich Tires to extend its legacy in the Baja peninsula. As BFGoodrich Tires runs for its 26th overall SCORE Baja 1000 victory, the tire manufacturer looks to continue its 2014 dominance in desert racing, having the top overall finisher at every stop on the SCORE International desert race schedule.
Corona, CA – The SCORE World Desert Championship title is going to be a showdown south of the border as the Bonanza Plumbing / Monster Energy / THR Motorsports / Kawasaki team, presented by Hoosier Precision Machining, heads into the season-ending 47th Tecate SCORE Baja 1000.

Was it a "Bad day at Black Rock"? Well' that depends on who you are. For me, it was enlightening!
I have lived just down the road from Black Rock Canyon (AKA Yogi Bear Park) for some thirty years and although I occasionally take visiting relatives up there I had no idea the little visitor's center served as a part time Court House where a traveling Magistrate arraigns those folks who manage to find themselves crosswise with the law, on any of the regions federal lands.
Encroachment onto marine base property has become an active issue
and people are being cited for trespassing by a Resource Conservation
Officer under contract by the 29 palms Marine Base. Currently the
signage is poor and inadvertent trespass is likely. The access road from Emerson Dry Lake at the dyke to Los Padres Mine or
Giant Rock Road is being monitored and citations are being written.
Giant Rock Rd. between Giant Rock and Los Padres Mine cross the base
property and can be problematic as well.
You and I have procured a favorable result from San Bernardino County Supervisors in as much as the right to assemble on our private property has been restored.
FOGR Update
Four years ago a group of concerned citizens got together to talk about a new San Bernardino County ordinance #3973. It was determined that as written this ordinance violated personal property rights, constitutional rights, and provided unrealistic restrictions on property owners. Namely a charge of $155 and a need to apply for government and neighbor oversight if a property owner was to assemble on his or her private property with a purpose of riding an OHV when nine or more persons were present.
This is from Kim District 37 and Partnership for Johnson Valley:
If you use Johnson Valley, please let her know the following:
Hey Everyone -
Although there has been little chatter lately regarding the 29 Palms Marine Base Expansion there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes. The Partnership for Johnson Valley (PFJV) has been asked by an independent analyst to once again survey the users of Johnson Valley to determine the potential economic loss to not only Johnson and Lucerne Valley but the surrounding towns too.
A successful hearing with the San Bernardino County Supervisors rendered the staging permit for property owner's void. It was replaced with a 2 ½ acre lot size limit and a 6 day In 30 limit for staging. I want to thank the folks supporting this effort, the off road enthusiast more than doubled the anti OHV crowd at the meeting, FOGR members and friends Morongo basin community leaders like Betty Munson and Jim Harvey were present to show support, Kim Carpenter from AMA district 37, Harry Baker from Cal 4X4 clubs, Mark Howlett field Representative for CORVA.
On March 23, 2010 the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, lead by our county supervisors Brad Mitzelfelt and Neil Derry, voted to remove the staging permit requirement from the Off-Road Vehicle Ordinance 3973.
In its place, staging will now read as: Staging shall be permitted on private property of no less than two and one-half acres in size, for no longer than six days in a 30-day period.

The Supervisors comments are at the end of the hearing and are well worth watching.

Mary Dudziak: "Liberals" and "conservatives" are often talking past each other on questions of national security, and there is a need to reshift the conversation, and get beyond partisan and left/right divides.
Army Officer's Leaked Report Rips Afghan War Success Story
Gareth Porter: "If the public had access to the classified reports," Davis writes, "they would see the dramatic gulf between what is often said in public by our senior leaders and what is true behind the scenes."
What's the War in Afghanistan About Again?
William Blum: It appears that no one seems to remember, if they ever knew, that Afghanistan was not really about 9-11 or fighting terrorists (except the many the US has created by its invasion and occupation), but was about pipelines.
Democratic Caucuses Support Move to End Afghanistan War
The chairs of the Veterans Caucus and Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party today praised the Obama Administration's announcement that the U.S. would end combat operations in the war in Afghanistan in 2013.
Democratization: Indigenous Beats Imported
Ivan Eland: Despite George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's efforts to topple foreign dictators and use military power to forcefully impose democracy from without, democracy usually works better if it bubbles up from below by popular desire.
U.S. Probe of Border Attack Hardened Pakistani Suspicions
Gareth Porter: The long-expected rejoinder, made public Monday, charged that 28 of its soldiers at two border bases were killed one by one long after the U.S. military had been told about the attack on a Pakistani base.
Cut Carriers Now
Ivan Eland: With yawning American budget deficits and a $15 trillion national debt, it would save significant amounts of money to reduce the number of carriers and carrier air wings well below the excessive 11 and 10, respectively.
The Case for Cutting and Running
Tina Dupuy: The first thing worth noting is this treatment of war dead is absolutely against the Geneva Convention. The second thing is we threw out the Geneva Convention when we invaded Afghanistan.
The Surge to Withdrawal
Vijay Prashad: The United States will exit Afghanistan in the next few years. None of its promises of health and well-being, democracy and women's rights will be realized.
The Lion and the Ox: The Winter of Our Discontent
Gary Corseri: In this winter of our discontent, the war clouds gather and austerity miseries grind the souls of those who have no homes, or broken homes. We're in a poisoned mine shaft and the canaries are singing. … Can we interpret their varied notes in time?
I'm a Liberal, but I Won't Condemn the Wars
Julie Driscoll: I promised my son that I would never protest or condemn or belittle this war, that I would never dishonor his service by reducing it to foolishness.
Rejecting Apology, U.S. May Hasten End of Pakistan as Client
Gareth Porter: President Barack Obama has sided with U.S. military and Defence Department officials in rejecting a proposal by the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan for a U.S. apology for last weekend's attack,
Who Will Be the Un-Bloomberg? What Mayors Should Say About Wall Street
Tom Hayden: In light of the police actions in New York, Berkeley, Oakland, Denver, Portland and beyond—and as massive national demonstrations are about to take place—it's not too late for the mayors to use their political stature to speak out about the crises befalling their cities.

The production of atelectasis has classically been viewed as a mechanical process involving one of two mechanisms: bronchial obstruction or external compression of the alveoli. Although the existence of nonobstructive atelectasis has been recognized for many years, investigation of the mechanisms involved in this phenomenon has been a relatively recent development.
The forces of surface tension are now generally considered to be a powerful stimulus to alveolar collapse. A naturally occurring antagonist to these forces, pulmonary surfactant, maintains alveolar patency. The activity of this surfactant has been altered under certain experimental conditions and in a number of clinical disease states.

You Know That 'Dexter' Finale You Hated? Producer Says It Was Showtime's Fault
Warning: The following article contains spoilers to that terrible, terrible Dexter finale.
If you thought Dexter the friendly serial killer would receive some comeuppance for the eight seasons that he strolled around Miami Dade County, dealing out his own brand of vigilante justice, you thought wrong. Faithful Dexter fans were greeted to a series finale that saw our favorite bloodspatter expert sailing out into a hurricane, only to find new life as a grisly mountain man in a cabin. Many were disappointed with the rather toothless way the Dexter writers decided to end the character's story, but the producer is now throwing blame at the network.
In a recent interview with Vulture, Dexter producer John Goldwyn said that Showtime had prohibited them from killing Dexter in the final episode. Goldwyn said, "They won't let us kill him… Showtime was very clear about that. When we told them the arc for the last season, they just said, 'Just to be clear, he's going to live.' There were a lot of endings discussed because it was a very interesting problem to solve, to bring it to a close. People have a relationship with Dexter, even if it doesn't have the size and the ferocity of the fan base for Breaking Bad. But it has a very core loyal following."
While of course the Dexter writers should have been given complete creative freedom with regards to how to handle the ending of the show and the fate of its its titular character, there must have been a better way to end the series while keeping Dexter alive than giving him a beard and throwing him into a forest. I mean, seriously. He's a lumberjack, and that's not okay.

Re: Francisco y FranciscaTue, September 6, 2011 - 6:25 PMtheres a tribe here call espiritismo/eggun, you could find some answer there... there many topics about spiritual guides there.
Which is who, you are referring to.
Re: Francisco y FranciscaWed, September 7, 2011 - 10:57 AMHi Chris,
Francisco and Francisca were actual people in Cuba who became semi-deified after their death. Unforenetly, these spirits have been used as archetypes by many people, and have been spread throughout the Caribbean and US as many people's "Egguns", which is false. Just like Santeria, spiritualism has become watered down and people no longer follow the actual precepts or the work of spiritualism.
Francisco is the archetype of a wise "slave" man, usually depicted in white and red, and Francisca is always a female spirit, big butt with a kerchief on her head, that is brash and speaks dirty. Now a days, many people are told they have Francisco and Francisca in their quadrant, but i"ve come to find that actually, they are the "same" type spirits that the person may have, just that investigation wasn't done to identify them correctly.
Re: Francisco y FranciscaWed, September 7, 2011 - 11:05 AMAlafia Ged
Unfortunately this sort of trend or fad in spiritualism is nothing new... in the 1960s eeeveryone had a Madama. Then in the 1970s eeeeveryone had a Gitana. When people started getting information about Brazil, eeeeveryone had a caboclo LOL
If I am not mistaken, the same images are used in Brazil but referred to as 'preto velho' and 'preto velha'.
All the best,

Re: Francisco y FranciscaWed, September 7, 2011 - 11:11 AMIboru Iboya Oluo,
I know :( I hate it! lol. My godfather doesn't go to misas for that reason, I quote - "Apparently, only black fat people get buried or whores in gold, because God forbid someone have a Jewish Spirit" lol. I do agree with this reasoning though, I've heard stories of actual Egguns, and though horrible, it is very rare for me to believe in someone mounted - especially if it happens every weekend. I just dont' think the body can handle possession that often!
Sigh. :( lol
Re: Francisco y FranciscaWed, September 7, 2011 - 2:36 PMThe best (worst!) misa experience I ever had in NYC was when an aleyo to Lukumi rites got "possessed" by his "guide" who then came over to me and told me I need to keep my Olokun under an aquarium.
I literally plotzed, blinked twice, and simply said thank you.
Needless to say, that was only my second (and final) misa I ever attended on the east coast. :)
Of all things...Orisha advice from iwin...you just HAVE to love the effort the fake mounts do (or in some cases don't) in order for us to chant "light" at them. LOLOL
I don't know your godfather Ged, but I like him already! hehe

ROFLMAO... I love it! Your godfather has some deep wisdom there :) It's the same way all the rich New Agers were famous royalty in their past lives. Funny that nobody ever plowed a field, spun a thread, built a wall, or did anything else productive with their time 'in the past' *grin*
Re: Francisco y FranciscaThu, September 8, 2011 - 8:22 AMThank the gods for ya'll's posts, 'cause I had wondered if it were just me that questioned the appearance of a Gypsy spirit, an Indian spirit, a Francisco/Francisca, and/or a Congo spirit in EVERYONE'S eggun line-up! I was beginning to think that there were only a handful of spirits in the entire spirit world! ROFL
Re: Francisco y FranciscaThu, September 8, 2011 - 10:00 AMLOLOL!
@Elaine: Did you ever get a chance to meet or correspond with my late Babanla, Afolabi / Clay? He had many great jokes and ribs regarding the "army of servants" that everyone had in their shrines.
Umbanda has been helping me see how all of these archetypes, or classes of spirit energy, don't have as much form or linear reality as other faiths teach. What I've incorporated so far is that when dealing with spirits specifically, one should always allow the spirits to present themselves to you - don't go "looking" for an army of slaves, indians, and sorcerers...you may just overlook the one spirit who can help you most...or on the inverse, you could also end up neglecting spirits that need your help most (I have a very "negative" spirit that walks with me. I only give light and prayers to this spirit for its elevation and ask nothing in return...but it's important to this spirit and my practice to always make sure I'm giving it the light it needs to evolve).
Plus, I don't know about you...but the idea of nothing BUT gypsies and preto velhos in everyone's court sounds very biased (even though it can be amusing at times!)

Re: Francisco y FranciscaThu, September 8, 2011 - 1:44 AMWell I agree with ged iboro buya ged and he is right I as a palero and espiritista believe that if there is a misa of investigacion it will be more acurate than some one telling you you have a spirit of a francisco and vice versa yes at first it might be a cute and adorable but here is the big but about this your eguns will say their name and will give you all the info from my experience. cause I have many and to now I am getting to know their names at first they daywould say you have a spirit of francisca you have a spirit of francisco ok cool but at the end of the day I have to find out their name and who they really are will it come out in a misa yes but remember the egguns are the ones who decide that and if they chose to tell them they will tell you in a dream or in a vision but at the end of the day it is your eggun. Example= people say oh you have a spirit of francisca ok. You have a spirit that comes that is blue and white she is fairly light skinned and is skinny and i see her with water and melao cleaning you see there is a differnce thats not mentioning francisco or francisca dont let yourself fool by people saying oh you have a francisca or francisco
Re: Francisco y FranciscaThu, September 8, 2011 - 3:11 PMAse Ged,
Not to derail the thread, but moreso to point out that there are traditions where an initiate is possessed very frequently...in some cases, daily. The body can definitely handle it, it just takes a lot of experience on the part of surrounding elders to help the elegun become acquainted.
Re: Francisco y FranciscaWed, September 7, 2011 - 2:32 PMI can at least confirm the usual Prehto Velho statues are dead-ringers for the Francisco line of spirit images. :)
I think this is a great example where a specific grouping of characteristics are associated with a singular identity, but in reality is representing a larger expansion of spiritual energy. Umbanda was organized in direct response to various spirit energies (or continuums if you will) kept coming forward and demanding they be recognized - not just those "categories" that Kardecism promoted.
Umbanda has really helped me learn to let go of rigid, linear forms of thinking. I appreciate the fact that it approaches all levels of spiritual consciousness - from the most elevated to the most primordial. I wish we saw more Umbanda here in the states; especially in communities that have other spiritist traditions already rooted.
I hope the "everyone has a gypsy" fad dies out soon...it completely removes the spirits' right to manifest to the medium in the way it needs to. :) It's quite surprising to learn you have a Nazi spirit that's in dire need of light and elevation, instead of learning your guide is Cleopatra. LOL

Re: Francisco y FranciscaWed, September 7, 2011 - 1:14 PMthank you guys. i also had another question on info about El negrito Jose. i know he works with Chango, when i was little i remember a statue of him in my Padrino's botanica when u walked in. My abuelita use to tell me to leave derecho for him and leave white candles. my padrino would give me cigars to give to him. i dont know much about him all i remeber was he was standing bent over with a Palo and he wore white pants and red shirt and had a cloth sack filled with i have no idea.
Re: Francisco y FranciscaWed, September 7, 2011 - 2:35 PMChris -
That is another misconception papi. Chango is Chango, and if he works with spirits, it would be with spirits of his deceased priests. "El Negrito Jose" would have been one of the spirits of your godfather, not of Chango. Some people do these things out of tradition and respect, though in reality, you should always have a candle burning for your spirits when possible, though they don't need to be given money "Derechos".

Step away from the harsh, hair-stripping shampoos. Meet No Poo, the "anti shampoo" that has revolutionized how curly girls wash their hair. This creamy lather-free cleanser gently cleanses curls without drying out your hair, so you're left with soft, shiny spirals without that pesky halo of frizz.
I loved using this on days that I was in between wanting to wash my hair and not wanting to wash it to keep the color as long as possible. It doesn't lather, so it is interesting, but it still cleans the hair while conditioning all at the same time. I would recommend!4
This has a good, but strong smell. No lathering takes some getting used to. My biggest complaint would have to be that using this takes some serious research. For example what silicones are okay to have in other products while using this and that results may take a few days up to a week or so. After a few days my hair does seem to be softer and healthier.4

text: Seltzer Water with beer flavor added Actually after thinking about it, A hef might be the way to go. If it's something close to what bud light is kinda like, they might just not like it because it's not bud light. If it's different and their expecting something different, they might have a more open mind. However... there is the problem of the person thinking there only is one beer. Unlike with something like soda, people are more willing to try different variates since they know there's not only one soda.

Favorite Homemade Hummus with Spiced Pita Chips.
Thick and creamy homemade hummus with spiced whole wheat pita chips. This is a classic hummus recipe that you will make time and time again!
I wish I could tell you that I shared most of this hummus with Kevin, but that would be a lie. In fact, every single time I make this hummus (which is on a weekly basis, I kid you not) – I seem to hoard it all myself. We put on a movie and I miss the first 20 minutes because I'm too busy with all of this hummus business. For the record, the 2 Tablespoon "suggested serving size" of hummus is one of life's unsolved mysteries.
So, I know what you're thinking. A hummus recipe – how boring! But no. This classic hummus recipe is anything but. It's ultra thick, ultra creamy, and simply incredible on top of spiced whole wheat pita chips. The crunchy pita chips? Yes, another snack I make on the regular. We're snackaholics, if you haven't realized.
If you've never made hummus at home, I urge you to try.
Stop spending $5 per container claiming to have 8 servings and make your own. Serve it with your favorite veggies, crunchy pita chips flavored with garlic and lemon pepper, and then… prepare to be amazed. You can thank me later.
Let's start with the pita chips.
Pick up some whole wheat pitas from the store. I wish I could tell you that I made pitas from scratch, but I didn't. Sunday was filled with reorganizing my life and homemade pitas were not on the agenda.
Cut the pitas into 8 slices each, brush with some olive oil and your favorite spices. My spice suggestions? A combination of lemon pepper and garlic powder. I'll give you some other suggestions in the recipe below. We loved this garlic peppery combination on our crunchy pita chips.
Bake the seasoned pita chips for about 10 minutes until crispy and browned. Easy, right? It will take you no more than 20 minutes.
Now it's time to make the hummus. It's taken some time to truly perfect the recipe. A little more tahini, a little less lemon, a little more olive oil, less spice, etc.
A few hummus notes:
(how weird does "hummus notes" sound?)
- Do not leave out the tahini. This is a very common hummus ingredient – it's sesame seed paste and can be found at all major grocery stores.
- Add more crushed red pepper for some more heat.
- If you're using unsalted chickpeas, you may need more salt.
You're going to love it. It's the thickest, creamiest hummus I've ever had. A good thing to note: you'll have to stop and start the food processor a few times to get things moving. Reserving some chickpea liquid (or water if not using canned chickpeas), will help. Keep in mind that the more extra liquid you add, the thinner your hummus will be.
Here is the blender/food processor I have. This Ninja Master Prep comes with a large container for blending drinks, and a smaller container I use for food processing. I make hummus and all of my nut butters in the smaller container.
Spoon the hummus into a pretty bowl and drizzle with olive oil, a sprinkle of spice, and top with few more chickpeas. There! You've got yourself one healthy, gourmet snack for book club night, movie night, dinner party appetizer, or a Friday night dinner. Yes, hummus and spiced pita chips can absolutely be called dinner in case you are questioning that. Maybe a little crab pretzel action on the side?
I won't judge you.

Favorite Homemade Hummus with Spiced Pita Chips
Yield: 2 cups hummus, enough pita chips for 4
Total Time: 30 minutes
Thick and creamy homemade hummus with spiced whole wheat pita chips. This is a classic hummus recipe that you will make time and time again! Makes a perfect spread for sandwiches and wraps too.
Spiced Pita Chips
- 4 whole wheat pitas (or pita pockets)
- 3 Tablespoons (44ml) olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- sea salt, to taste
- 2 cups (520g) cooked chickpeas (canned is fine, reserve 1/4 cup liquid)
- 1 garlic clove (I always roast mine, but that's optional)
- 1 Tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
- 1/4 cup (60g) tahini
- 1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup (60ml) reserved chickpea liquid or water
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
- optional: sprinkle of crushed red pepper
- sea salt, to taste
- For the pita chips: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Cut each pita into 8 triangles and arrange on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, garlic powder, and lemon pepper together until combined. Brush each pita triangle with mixture. Flip each pita triangle over and brush the other side. Give them a light sprinkle of sea salt.
- Bake pita triangles for 10 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Allow to cool as you prepare the hummus.
- For the hummus: Place all ingredients into your food processor (except for the salt) and process until the smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and start a few times to get things moving. Add the salt gradually until the hummus reaches your taste. I did not add any salt because my chickpeas were already salted. Add more olive oil and/or reserved chickpea liquid to thin out if desired. Add more seasonings to suit your taste.
- Spoon the hummus into a bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil, a sprinkle of lemon pepper, and a couple additional chickpeas if desired. Serve with spiced pita chips and fresh veggies. Cover tightly and store up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Additional Notes:
White flour pitas instead of whole wheat are OK.
Try adding smoked paprika, cumin, sesame seeds, or dried basil to the pita chips and/or the hummus.
Instead fresh garlic in the hummus, use garlic powder. Add a little at a time to suit your taste.
Sometimes I add a couple drops of hot sauce because Kevin likes a little spice, that's optional.

I've just pinned this. Cannot wait to make your recipe. I've tried making humus before and, although it was good, the recipe called for too much olive oil for my taste. Well, maybe not my "taste", but just too many calories. I love everything about this recipe…..garlic, lemon pepper, spice, and especially your pita crisps. Love, love, love it!!
I have always been a self-proclaimed snackaholic and dessertaholic too. It's just the best way to live life! 😉 Your photos are so pretty; the chickpeas are such a cute garnish. And those pita chips? I can never buy those because I'll eat the whole bag in a day. Oopsies! So happy that you're getting back to normal life and having fun redecorating too. You're such a positive, upbeat, and strong woman!
Oh yum!! I am a huge fan of hummus, I could eat that stuff everyday! I slather it on sandwiches and like to dip my veggies in it 🙂 I love all the simple ingredients you used and the outcome looks delicious!
So happy I found your blog, I've spent the last hour reading through your delicious treats and pinning them like a mad woman! Lol no shame!
So I made this homemade hummus yesterday–it was a snow day, I was bored, hummus is wonderful, etc. etc.–and I warned my family that, though there was a good amount of it, they should probably eat it within the next week or so, since it doesn't have the same kind of shelf life as store-bought.
A few minutes ago I was searching for it, thinking I'd have a snack, and I found the container on the dairy counter. Empty. Needless to say my family approves of this recipe.
(also, side note, garlic-infused olive oil is WONDERFUL in this. might use lemon-infused next time.)
I wanted to let you know – I absolutely love these pita chips! I make my own pits because of how expensive the store bought ones are in the country I'm in, and they turn out soooo good baked as chips! There aren't a lot of inexpensive snacks here on the island and I eat these like I haven't eaten in months! Also, I made 48 pitas worth of pita chips for a catering event last month and they were a huge hit. I served them with hummus and tomato salsa (: definitely a success. Thanks for your great recipe! (p.s. I got your cookbook while I was visiting the states a couple weeks ago – so excited to try the recipes!!!)
These pita chips are so good! I will definitely be making them again very soon (probably today even though I just had some haha). It's such a good healthy snack option. For now I'm using store bought hummus but I guarantee you that once I buy a food processor then I'll be making my own hummus as well.
A THOUSAND thank you's for adding measurements in grams so your recipes are readable by international readers such as myself 🙂
and yes, your hummus recipe is THE hummus recipe to saves and keep. My friend from Lebanon swears it tastes just like her grandmothers. Now that itself says a lot, right?
Shareen and Ella in Sweden.
This looks delicious! If I am using canned chickpeas, I don't need to cook them or anything first do I?
I made this today–the hummus turned out delicious! I did have problems with the pita chips. They weren't getting crisp–I left them in the oven for 20 min. At that point they were getting brown, so I thought they might crisp up while cooling. No such luck. They have great flavor though so I will try this again. Any suggestions?

This stock is being promoted. it is in a hot industry but has no fundamentals of any kind. It is a pump and dump but that's okay because if you know the patterns and are quick you can extract profits again and again from turds like this one. Don't believe the hype. These are trading vehicles, nothing more. Invest in them and you will learn the hard way when they dump 80% on you in one day.
investing in penny stocks is for dummies. Trading penny stocks is the only way to get ahead other wise you are much better off buying legitimate stocks priced above $20 per share with 500k+ volume a day and positive earnings and earnings growth. Penny stocks are garbage. I don't mean OTCBB stocks but also stocks like PRAN which are priced under $10. Biotechs are pure lotto ticket plays if you hold them, aka gambling.
You can learn how to trade ones like RUBI. These have a specific pattern that allows you to extract profits again and again
PRAN is one of these crazy low float biotechs. It's now heavily shorted and regardless of what happens with the company the short sellers will need to cover to collect their profits for betting correctly. Thats where bounce players like myself come in and can scalp a quick bounce trade for big profits.
BIOF is up a lot but the pattern says more to come. We trade these kind of volatile stocks for a living. We have done so for a decade. The patterns are real and allow astute traders to extract big profits at the expense of all the suckers.
PLUG had huge volatility and plenty of liquidity to get in and out with large size. There is no reason to be over nighting one like this. Just trade it and take profits when they are there. The patterns are tradable you just have to stop being a lemming and think trading is going to come easy. it takes time and effort which is why 99% of people fail at the expensive of the 1% who take all the other suckers money.
Stocks like REED sell off big ll the time. the computers slam these stocks now a days when they miss numbers because that is how they can make a lot of money quickly. The always over shoot and this mean reversion allows smart traders to profit. Picking bottoms is for suckers. Instead catch the knife for a few minutes to an hour and then stab the next guy in the heart.
We trade these types of stocks a lot. They give nice moves and then gap up and #$%$ or gap down and run. The patterns occur over and over. We extract thousands from these #$%$ stocks. It's not rocket science. You don't marry the stock, you just trade them.
Stocks like BODY are predictable even though you may not think so. We trade this for a living and have done so for a decade with success. There are tradable patterns which will allow you to extract predictable profits.
hey just told you there is a chance they will go under and your are asking what are the chances. Don't gamble. Take your loss now before this stock trades at .001 on the pinksheets.
We will make 20k off this stock today. The game is rigged but you can be the one that does the rigging
BGMD has been a pretty active trade. It has allowed us to extract a lot of profits over the last few weeks. Ones like this can make big moves and if you know the patterns it's like taking candy from a baby.
UPIP and other penn stocks turds can be great trading vehicles.You should marry these stocks, just trade them in the short term. They are trading vehicles. The money flows in as they get pumped and then it goes into the next big % gainer that gets news. You can learn how we trade these for a living.
MNGA was a great trader today. We've extracted a lot of profits from this one. When the patterns are there and a stock is liquid like this one it's like taking candy from a baby...
Usually a small gap down in an uptrending stock means a move higher at least to take out the high. I think this could see 4.00 today as it's friday and some short sellers will want to cover before the weekend.
We trade stocks like SYMX for a living and have done so for a decade. SYMX has a profitable pattern right now and if you know the pattern you can extract profits.
Why would this have anything to do with the government. They are being paid by people who saw a nice run up, took their profits and are now short the stock. This is how you take advantage of all the suckers.
This PLUG has been an atm machine for traders recently. All the volatility combined with a tight spread has made it very predictable to extract large profits. If you aren't trading with a plan then you are gambling.
ZBB was a great trader this morning. We trade these ones for livng
It's been 7 months since the high in AAPL and the stock can't retest the high. The stock market as a whole made new highs and AAPL did nothing all this time. Longs have investing in a dead money stock.

If there's already a topic similar to this and it's then a couple of days, I'll quickly close it.

1. Real Zombies.
2. Much more creative and menacing B.O.Ws
3. Only 1-2 playable protagonists.
4. Co-op to be separate.
5. Mercenaries with actual vanilla game content
6. Respectable amount of replayability.
7. Less QTEs, more challenging puzzles.
8. Coherent plot line with a fair amount of twists
Is this too much to ask for Capcom?!

1. Real Zombies.
not to troll or anything...its just your definition of real zombies sounds vague...
what do you mean real zombies? you mean non-virus induced zombies? like those from voodoo legends? or romero's zombies? there are tons of zombie movies and each has its own type of zombies.
the only thing in common is they feed on live people...except zombies from the voodoo legend. but yeah...I would love 1-2 playable protagonists in 7.

What do you mean with number 5?
- Atmosphere. Make it scary, make it have tension. Take the guns away from the enemies, do not let them speak. Make them menacing, faceless abominations that do not need a reason to kill you.
- Better villains. 6 occurs because
- A better plot. See above.
- Let other characters have a chance, there's more to this series than just Chris / Jill / Leon. Allow characters like Ada, Rebecca, Claire, etc have the role of protagonist or major supporting character. I mention Ada because she and Leon are attached to the hip. Even when the game is about her, her campaign is still all about helping behind the scenes and cleaning up. Give her her own game that Leon is not in.
- In addition to the above, I would like to see characters interacting with characters outside of their circle. RE6 is a good start.
- Remove the vast majority of QTEs.
- Vehicle sections. Get rid of them.
- One campaign that's extremely polished.
- Better variety of weapons that are more unique.
- Give the player more freedom. Advance the plot slower, work on building tension and suspense.
- For them to better support Mercenaries. I am surprised this isn't already a thing, Capcom could easily make a ton of money by making DLC characters and costumes.
Phoenixeater (Topic Creator)3 years ago#7
-Inventory and health gauge should be like RE4.
-The stamina gauge should have more of a negative effect on the character when it get too low like reduced accuracy, slower movement, and even have him/her abruptly stop to catch his/her breath.
-No melee attacks unless the enemy is stunned like RE4 and 5. The name of the attack is also shown.

Leon and ada making love. Thats about it. If you cant do that, then further their storyline.
I would like a more tense feeling when playing the game. Make the game scarier somehow
Not changing this sig until Leon Kennedy is in a fighting game. Started 7/14/2013
Ada, Sherry, Leon, Jill, anything else is gravy. Oh wait, I want Rebecca Chambers too!

A Sex Difference in Risk Taking and Promotions in Hierarchies: Evidence from Females in Legislatures
Scotchmer showed how a sex difference in risk taking can cause promotional patterns to differ across sexes, even if discrimination is absent and ability is identically distributed ex ante. In her model, (1) winner-take-all promotions favor risk-taking males, but (2) promoted females enjoy greater ability and (3) see this advantage depreciate with repeated play. I find persistent evidence for the first two implications in how the sex composition of national legislatures differs across electoral mechanisms (winner-take-all chambers employ a greater proportion of males) and in how reelection prospects for U.S. representatives differ by sex (females enjoy longer expected service in a winner-take-all chamber). Finally, while the data convey less information about the third implication, the results are difficult to rationalize in alternative models and can have important implications not only for affirmative action doctrines but also for corporate fiduciary duties.

When Pony by ginuwine plays I pretty much just grind on the nearest penis.
There are two women in my bed. I'm gonna have a bowl of noodles so I can better understand my success.
So feel off my bed lastnight into the trashcan. On the plus side i thought under my bed was a cave and i went exsploring
Woke up to a sex noise notice under my door...he gets a A+ for proformance and ill be seeing him again.
I should start wearing my Batman shirt more often when I drink. Good things happen. All sorts of shit.
I'm gonna make some noodles and go to bed. Hopefully I don't fall into the stove or something.
Oh no. Not her. Her personality clashes with mine in ways that would make me wanna beat myself with a stick.
Jasmine is diving into bushes again.
I believe I can fly has to be one of the most inspirational songs of our time. Seriously R. Kelly nailed it
Then he went and peed on those teenagers.
Also 70% sure I have a splinter on my eyelid from last night
After a few mimosas, my mom started sharing her plans to move out of the house and into a retirement village so she can be the youngest one there and find herself a "nice old sugar daddy." Needless to say, break has not started off well...
My phone autocorrected your name to "grownup." that couldn't be more inaccurate. I'm getting a new phone.
I took Xanax and it did nothing to me. First sign I'm crazy and actually need it.
Fun fact. I am at the police dept. getting served a warrant for unpaid ordinance... and the officer was a one night stand from like 10 years ago.

Former eBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman has resigned from three corporate boards for personal reasons, a turn-of-the-year move that would free her to run for governor of California.
Everyone loves a winner. Following are the best performing stocks for 2008 for the Dow, Nasdaq and the S&P. But will they perform as well this year?
Now that 2008 is just about over, here's a look at the top yielding stocks in the Dow that would make up your portfolio if you followed the popular Dogs of the Dow investment strategy.
After another 100 points shed in the market today, Cramer says only one thing would make him feel better: if just one portfolio manager would come out and admit that this is, in fact, not a good time to buy. Instead, there are a whole lot of "experts" out there insisting that they love this market and it's a great time to buy -- there's a lot of money to be made in the volatility, they say.
Jack Ablin says consumer stocks are viable, but they must be picked carefully. "We've divided the consumer market into areas that consumers can buy with cash, versus areas that consumers need financing to buy," the chief investment officer of Harris Private Bank told CNBC. "Clearly, anything that needs financing to buy is out."
Stocks closed lower amid worries about bank earnings and weak consumer spending on tech.
Following are the week's biggest winners and losers. Find out why shares of Nucor and Amylin popped while FedEx and JPMorgan dropped.
Stocks closed sharply lower, led by financials after comments from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and as investors worried about the fate of the auto bailout.
Stocks turned mixed Thursday as a rise in commodities stocks offset pressure from a weak jobs report and a sharp drop in import prices.
Futures dipped a few points as jobless claims hit a 26-year high. But the big topic on trading desks is the dollar, which may be weaker on expectations the U.S. will ease interest rates next week, so commodities and some commodity stocks (notably gold) are stronger.
Stock index futures indicated a slightly weaker open Thursday, pushed lower by further weakening in the jobs market and a sharp decrease in import prices..
The market may seem boring today, but look under the hood--something is happening. That "something" is rotation: traders are looking to buy some stocks and sectors, and sell others.
Eric Schoenstein of the Jensen Portfolio says equities remain the best bet in the long run. His advice: "You've got to start thinking more clearly about fundamentals of businesses, quality businesses that have real growth potential, cash flow generation opportunities."
General Electric announced that it will maintain its dividend for 2009, giving it an 8.6% yield, based on yesterday's close. See how this compares to the other 29 companies in the Dow.
Oaktree Asset Management's Robert Pavlik warns investors not to be misled by what appear to be attractive valuations on stocks.
The U.S. government's plan to inject $20 billion into Citigroup failed to fully reassure analysts about financials. So what is safe to invest in now? Tim Harris at JPMorgan Asset Management and Khiem Do at Baring Asset Management offered their sector strategies to CNBC.
China Central Television's auction of its primetime ad time Tuesday yielded nearly $1.4 billion in revenue, 15 percent more than last year. This Chinese version of the American upfront ad sales period attracted global companies like Coca-Cola who have become more committed to the growing economy since the Olympics.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway sharply increased its stake in ConocoPhillips this spring and summer, accumulating a total of 84 million shares as of the end of the third quarter on September 30, according to Berkshire's just-released quarterly portfolio filing with the SEC.
Fighting the temptation to panic is probably the most difficult task. But it may also be the most important.
As the market turmoil continues, companies that once sat at the top of the S&P 500 find themselves falling further and further down the list.

Amherst residents were never really in the fight
The battle is over. The well-heeled developer has prevailed. And yet another Amherst neighborhood is doomed to live in the shadow of an inappropriately sited commercial building.
It was never a fair fight. We, the neighbors, just didn't know it. Because the Amherst Town Board and staff worked for over one year, outside the public eye, dotting their i's and crossing their t's, planning, orchestrating and expediting the monster project's quick approval and papering over the hotel's warts.
Despite a large group of residents in opposition, the neighbors were never really in the fight. The town development process is sharply skewed in favor of the developer, in law and procedures the developers themselves helped create. Most devastating is the short notice given to neighbors to read, understand, digest and respond to a literal truckload of documents and studies describing a project that will change the neighborhood forever. The actions of the Zoning, Planning and Town boards give new meaning to blind eye, deaf ear, lip service and rubber stamp as the neighbors were flicked aside.
The Iskalo Hyatt never passed the smell test. And we knew early on that this was a political problem. The court has ruled in favor of Iskalo, proving that you can't fight city hall. Well, you can fight, you just can't win.
The only solace on this sad day in Snyder is that Amherst has the best officials and staff that money can buy. Therefore, the next time you see Paul Iskalo, ask him how the big commercial development is going in his family's Clarence backyard.
This battle is over, perhaps.

In Dubai, you will find all expats drive. The heat in Dubai can be detrimental to your car, so it is often beneficial to park in a garage when possible. Driving in Dubai can at times be challenging as many drivers are known to speed, which can make others on the road nervous. If one is not comfortable driving, taxis are on call and generally inexpensive - a good alternative to driving yourself. Public transportation is also available, but it may not take you as far as you need to go and schedule times can often be inconvenient. The metro however, built above ground, should be ridden at least once to get a great view of Dubai as its built almost the full length of Dubai's main boulevard Sheikh Zayed Road. NOTE: Speeding is common here. Avoid driving on the extreme left lane of highways to avoid being "flashed" and being forced to move a lane over. Road rage is also starting to become an issue given the increase in traffic jams and poor driving courtesy. Rude hand gestures (the "finger", etc.) and profanity can lead to fines and jail times if reported, so keep your cool if you are cut off or are behind an erratic driver. In general, you will find those gestures and actions that some may find only slightly offensive in your home nation--or perhaps not offensive at all--can at times be extremely offensive to the Dubai locals. Therefore, using a degree of common sense of what is right and wrong will usually help you stay out of trouble. While Dubai has a robust network of bus routes throughout the city, most expats prefer to drive as their main mode of transportation. Check out our new Expat Echo Dubai channel at: http://www.youtube.com/ExpatEchoDubai If you are an expat living in or moving to Dubai, you will love our dedicated blog, Expat Echo Dubai, a popular tool for sharing tips on day-to-day life matters in your new country: http://www.expatechodubai.com Be a part of our Dubai expat community on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/expatechodubai If you are an expatriate, you will definitely enjoy our city guide videos http://www.expateye.com Move One is dedicated to providing seamless services for all aspects of international relocation.

The Best Business Writing 2012by Martha M. Hamilton Ryan Chittum Felix Salmon Dean Starkman
A selection of the year's most compelling and informative essays capturing a critical moment in business and finance.
The Best Business Writing 2013by Martha M. Hamilton Ryan Chittum Felix Salmon Dean Starkman
An anthology Malcolm Gladwell has called "riveting and indispensable," The Best Business Writing is a far-ranging survey of business's dynamic relationship with politics, culture, and life. This year's selections include John Markoff (New York Times) on innovations in robot technology and the decline of the factory worker; Evgeny Morozov (New Republic) on the questionable value of the popular TED conference series and the idea industry behind it; Paul Kiel (ProPublica) on the ripple effects of the ongoing foreclosure crisis; and the infamous op-ed by Greg Smith, published in the New York Times, announcing his break with Goldman Sachs over its trading practices and corrupt corporate ethos. Jessica Pressler (New York) delves into the personal and professional rivalry between Tory and Christopher Burch, former spouses now competing to dominate the fashion world. Peter Whoriskey (Washington Post) exposes the human cost of promoting pharmaceuticals off-label. Charles Duhigg and David Barboza (New York Times) investigate Apple's unethical labor practices in China. Max Abelson (Bloomberg) reports on Wall Street's amusing reaction to the diminishing annual bonus. Mina Kimes (Fortune) recounts the grisly story of a company's illegal testing--and misuse--of a medical device for profit, and Jeff Tietz (Rolling Stone) composes one of the most poignant and comprehensive portraits of the financial crisis's dissolution of the American middle class.

Jordan Lyles will be 20 years old on Opening Day, but if he's as good as the Astros think he is, that's just a number. He has done nothing to lower expectations during a spring when he has passed every test: 13.2 innings, 11 hits, 3 earned runs, 2 walks, 9 strikeouts.
He came to spring training with his ticket punched for Oklahoma City, and indeed that may be the smart move. The Astros might buy an extra year of control over his salary, and nothing would be lost by giving him another month or so to work in a controlled environment with an emphasis on refining his game.
However, there are two really good reasons to bring him to the big leagues here and now. One is that he appears to be ready. He might have a few bad nights, but Brad Mills and Brad Arnsberg would do a great job bringing him along.
One spring, Phil Garner was campaigning to let him have 19-year-old Troy Patton on the major league team. His argument was that he was smart enough to put Patton in position to succeed and not to do anything to harm his longterm career.
Another thing Lyles would bring is a buzz, and no one likes buzz more than our proprietor, Drayton M. McLane Jr. Lyles would make the fifth spot in the rotation the most interesting. In other words, those cash registers could be jingling when he walked to the mound on April 11 for his first home start.
Can't you just imagine the excitement in Milo's voice as he called the kid's first game? OK, there's a down side to even the best ideas, but that's not important now.
Larry Dierker made his major league debut on his 18th birthday. Jim Palmer was 19 when he made the first of his 558 big league appearances. Bob Feller was 17.
The Royals opened the 1984 season with Bret Saberhagen, Danny Jackson and Mark Gubicza, who were 19, 22 and 21. They won the American League West that year.
Am I comparing Jordan Lyles to them? I guess I am. I'm also saying that if he's the best pitcher for the job, give it to him. Arnsberg and Mills would control his workload and create the right environment around him.
He'll be in the big leagues at some point this season anyway, so why wait? I promise you Ed Wade will read this little piece, and I'm guessing he just might say, "Well, if my right-hand man thinks it's a good idea, then it's probably a good idea."
