Bariatric surgery, which significantly curtails the amount of food a person can eat, is the most effective treatment against obesity and is being recognized as a potentially valuable tool in the fight against diabetes related to obesity. It is being performed on increasing numbers of people worldwide, including teenagers.
Unfortunately, some types of bariatric surgery may also cause bone loss, a cause for concern, particularly when carried out on young people who have not yet reached their peak bone mass, say endocrinologists from Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research, who have just published a review of current literature in the journal Obesity Reviews, now online.
Authors, Dr Malgorzata Brzozowska and Associate Professor Jackie Center, say that skeletal examination and treatment should be considered part of patient care, before and after procedures.
In the United States, 'Roux-en-Y' gastric bypass surgery, one of the most invasive of the procedures, is the most common. Much of the stomach is removed and part of the small bowel bypassed. Less radical is the 'gastric sleeve', which involves removing a large part of the stomach leaving a narrowed smaller stomach, restricting food intake and at the same time speeding the passage of food to the gut. The least invasive, and only reversible measure, is the 'gastric band', which is an inflatable ring placed between the oesophagus and stomach, making it possible to eat only small amounts of food slowly.
"Even though we don't yet understand all the mechanisms, we can see that the more radical the procedure, the greater the bone loss long-term," said Dr Brzozowska, who undertook the review as part of her PhD.
Dr Brzozowska is the first person to do a widespread analysis of current research into the complex interrelationships between fat, bone and nutritional restriction.
"In many situations significant weight loss is associated with bone loss, with or without surgery. The more invasive types of surgery appear to heighten bone turnover and the associated bone loss. This is thought to be caused not only by rapid weight loss and absorption of fewer vital nutrients like vitamin D and calcium, but possibly also by changes in hormones released by fat and the gut, and their impact on the central nervous system," she said.
In particular, the review points out, we should be aware of surgery-induced changes in hormones that can affect the central regulation of appetite and bone strength. These include the fat-derived hormones leptin and adiponectin; gut-derived hormones such as peptide YY (PYY), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and ghrelin; and the hypothalamic regulator of energy balance, neuropeptide Y (NPY). However, although there is quite a lot of animal data concerning these hormones and their effects, human data are scanty.
Associate Professor Jackie Center believes that the findings are very important despite the widely held assumption that obese people are protected against bone fragility and fracture.
"It has always been assumed that the heavier someone is, the denser their bones will be, because bones become strong when they carry a load. While that is true up to a certain point, the bones may not continue to become stronger in the very obese, who can also have low bone density and fracture.
"Increasing evidence suggests that in very obese people, the relationship between bone density and weight fails and that the excess fat is detrimental to bone.
"While there are many studies looking at weight loss and improvement in insulin sensitivity after bariatric surgery, very few look at what happens in bone.
"We are certainly not arguing against bariatric surgery. There is no doubt that it is an effective weapon against obesity and obesity-related diabetes. We just ask that doctors and patients take bone health into account.
"Bone mineral densitometry scans can be done and adequate calcium and vitamin D intake advised. For those patients at particular risk, additional monitoring may be advised and protective drugs considered."

So recently I was able to take a look into something recently released called RPG Table Online, reminding me a lot of some of the paid programs I see out there, it seems to be a bit in its early stages but seems pretty reliable. Now I know I have moved away from a majority of my gaming buddies, and that is exactly what this website was made for. To set up games on the net in order to play with your buddies, or even find other roleplaying buddies that you may not yet know.
RPG Tablle Online is a free to use and fairly basic tool for GMs to use to run their RPGs on the net, it comes equipped with a dice roller, map and a dungeon creator, as well as character and monster token system, initiative tracker, campaign notebook, character sheets, and integrated voice chat. They do have extra tokens, customization etc. that you can purchase from them, but I believe I also noted a way to earn some without spending any or too much money, don't quote me though I haven't had enough time to play around with it.
The program is a free Java=based application and you don't need to download it, you don't need a ton of knowledge or to read an 800 page prep booklet in order to use it, "We focused on making RPG Table Online intuitive to use and ready to play without additional setup beyond the usual prep to build an encounter or adventure," said Robert Eng, GTO's Vice President.
If you ever used gametableonline.com you'll realize quickly that the people of RPG Table Online are the same people, and have been doing this for about 9 years. So, it may seem new at first glance, but these guys are seasoned veterans. The starting tokens and things you get for this application are fantasy-based, however more themes and artwork from well-known artists are promised to be on their way!
At a young age my mother owned a gaming store, she always let me be a part of running it in my own way, and even before that I sat at the dnd table with the adults eating the dice and stomping on figurines. Gaming and tabletop rpgs are in my blood, to this day it my absolute passion and joy. Some things you're good at, other things, you're born with!
Follow me on twitter @Rukiara
Cool review, thanks! I think there is a lot of potential for a tool like this especially as it becomes harder and harder to find players for some of the older more obscure games.
I see you share interesting stuff here, you can earn some
extra money, your blog has huge potential, for the monetizing method, just search in google – K2 advices how to

More Turkish Pop with a latin twist from the early 60s by Sevket Uğurluer. Both songs have apparently never been commercially re-released. Gözleri Aşka Gülen, a schmaltzy tune originally written by Gundogdu Duran, is given a modern reworking by Ugurluer and Friends.
The song starts with English and then turns to Turkish lyrics in the second half.

I couldn´t find any period photos of Şevket Uğurluer and his band. Instead, I´ll post some images from one of the Akbaba (vulture) satire magazine that I bought in Istanbul this year. This issue is from June 1962. There is no signature, but I´m pretty sure that the cover was done by Necmi Riza. Riza did a lot of covers for Akbaba, that are easily recognizable by his boldly inked style.
The Lambiek Comiclopedia notes that Necmi Riza Ayça was born in Yugoslavia-Pristine in 1912 and died in 2000, while Turkish Vikipedia states he was born in 1914 and died in 2001.
SEVKET UGURLUER VE ARKADASLARI , Jerico, 1964Posted: August 18, 2016 Filed under: 60s, Turkey 1 Comment
In the early 1960s, Şevket Uğurluer was among the first Turkish musicians to mix traditional music with Jazz. Today Uğurluer is mostly known for his faithful renditions of US-Pop hits, most of whom have been re-released on CD.
Not this one. When recording the spiritual Josua Fit The Battle Of Jericho, Uğurluer didn´t seem to have taken the lyrics too seriously. But who cares about some slurred lines, when he and his gang play the song at such breakneck speed.
"Joshua the battle of Jerico… and the wölls came tumblin´down…."
SEVKET UGURLUER VE ARKADASLARI , Jerico, 1964
The Pete Seeger penned protest-song If I Had A Hammer was a hit for Trini Lopez in 1963. Sevket Uğurluer´s version is wrongly credited to Trini Lopez on the label, but it´s pretty close to the hit.
Except that, here Animal from the Muppet Show is on drums….

ÖZTÜRK SERENGIL, Abidik Gubidik Twist, 1964Posted: August 16, 2016 Filed under: 60s, Turkey, Twist Records 6 Comments
For the first time, I´m not posting a rarity but a hit record. Abidik Gubidik Twist is the Turkish Twist hit record and was also featured in two movies. However, I guess outside of Turkey few people will have heard these songs. While Turkish Psych has fans worldwide, Turkish Twist is still only known to Turks. Abidik Gubidk Twist was re-released in 2011, though buried in a 5 CD-Box of Turkish movie songs. As far as I could see Göz Göz Değdi Bana has never been commercially re-released.
Abidik Gubidik Twist ("Nonsense Twist") first appeared in the opening scene of the 1963 film Beni Osman Öldürdü. Following its success, the song again appeared in the opening sequence of Abidik Gubidik.
Öztürk Serengil was a comedian who starred in close to 300 movies. He died in 1999 at the age of 69. His daughter Seren Serengil is also a pop singer.
This record came out through Öztürk´s own short-lived Serengil record label. A great first release that features two Turkish Twist hits. Abidik Gubidik Twist even has a nice guitar solo.
Turkish Rock´n´Roll…

ELS MOLENAAR, Gezakt of geslaagd, 1967Posted: August 8, 2016 Filed under: 60s, Beat Records, Holland 2 Comments
Gezakt of geslaagd has been re-issued more than twenty years ago. I´m still posting it here, because it´s one of my better recent finds. It was only one Euro and I found it in May at a flea market – of all places – in Istanbul! Buried in a bunch of other Dutch records, I did´nt know what it was at the time. The catalog of the Negram label that is printed on the back of the sleeve seemed promising, though. It features Dutch Beat groups like The Ronnies, Mokum Beat Five, The Motions, Tee-Set, Andy Tielmann and Roek Williams and the Fighting Cats.
Back home in Berlin I recognized Gezakt of geslaagd from a CD a Dutch friend gave me many years ago. The song was first re-released in 1994 on Biet Het Vol. 2 – Trip Trap Door De Tulpjes on Boem Records. In 2002 it was featured on Beatmeisjes – Dutch Girls and Girl Groups in the Sixties, compiled by Frank Dam and Marthy Coumans. Frank Dam also wrote a 224 page book on the same subject. Everybody who bought that book knows more about Els Molenaar than I do. Sadly, I don´t know Dutch and do not own the book.
According to Popsike someone bought this record for 110 Euros in 2011. It is Els Molenaar´s sole record. Gezagt of geslaagd (pass or fail) is a happy little anti-school song.
Two bad it only lasts two and a half minutes….

PrivatpressungPosted: August 3, 2016 Filed under: 70´s, Adult, Germany, Private Pressings 10 Comments
Simply called Privatpressung, this my be one of the most private of German private pressing. It was indeed so secret, that the producers didn´t even include any information regarding the artists, authors, song titles, nor where and when they were recorded. The back of the sleeve is blank, same as the label.
The front cover contains anything but the most telling: a photo of a topless girl holding three 45s, strangely all by the Tempo label, at the time of this release – in the late 60s/early 70s, I assume – still one of Germany´s biggest budget labels. And a disclaimer…
Formal Obligation:
By buying this record I declare that I´m of legal age, that I will only use this record privately and will not make it accessible to anyone below the age of 21. I declare furthermore that I will not be offended by the record that I bought.
People probably bought this record in an adult store or by mailorder, so they knew what they were getting. Honestly, forty years after these songs were recorded, they still make me blush. If you do not know German, they may just sound like a bunch of folk songs sung by a male-female duo, but believe me, they´re very filthy.
So be warned! If you click here: Don´t be offended…
GERD FITZ, Der alte Scheich von Istanbul, 1960Posted: July 29, 2016 Filed under: 60s, Germany 4 Comments
The old sheik of Istanbul, was written by German songwriting team Georg Buschor and Christian Bruhn. Probably just a quickly assembled flip for the A-side – a cover of Bob Azzam´s hit record Ya Mustafa – the record was released in 1960, the year of the first Turkish coup. The lyrics of Der alte Scheich deal with typical period far-east exoticism. A fictious sheik of Istanbul visits Europe to find out that Western habits are much stricter than Turkish habits. A little far fetched, even back then. Habits and laws have always been much stricter in Turkey. Today, the "new sheik of Istanbul" is even talking about reinstating the death penalty.
Gerd Fitz strarted his career in the early 50s in the trio Das Fitzett, together with his brother Walter and his sister-in-law Molly. From the mid-50s to the 60s he started a solo career, mainly recording for the budget Tempo. Like many other artists, Gerd Fitz lived too early in the post-war age. When Rock´n´Roll came around he was no longer teenage-material. He still recorded some rock, like a cover of Peter Kraus´Mach' Dich Schön (Treat Me Nice).
In the 70s he started yet another career as an actor in supporting roles. The Fitz family has a long history in German show business. Niece Lisa Fitz is a stand-up comedian and his son Michael is also an actor. Aged 85, Gerd Fitz died in May 2015.
Not surprisingly, these songs have never been re-released in 56 years. If you can see past the naive racism, Der alte Scheich is a jolly little tune. I like it…
GERD FITZ, Der alte Scheich von Istanbul, 1960
Wie war das mit dem Scheich? Wie war das mit dem Scheich? Die Sache mit dem alten Scheich erzähl ich euch sogleich. Der alte Scheich von Istanbul, der ging auf große Fahrt. Er setzte seinen Turban auf und kämmte seinen Bart. Doch bei der ersten Zollstation, da war es schon passiert. Er zog den Hut, der Schmuck fiel raus und wurde konfisziert. So streng sind hier die Bräuche. Das hasste nun davon, ohweiawei! Da lob ich mir die Bräuche, die Bräuche der Türkei. Wie war das mit dem Scheich? Wie war das mit dem Scheich?
Was mit dem Scheich noch weiter war, erzähl ich euch sogleich. Der alte Scheich von Istanbul kam in die Stadt Paris. Und sah drei schöne Mädchen geh´n , die waren zuckersüß. Er sagte: "Bald soll Hochzeit sein, ich nehm euch alle drei." Da schrien die Mädchen: "Unerhört! Wir geh´n zur Polizei!" So streng sind hier die Bräuche. Das hasste nun davon, ohweiawei! Da lob ich mir die Bräuche, die Bräuche der Türkei. Wie war das mit dem Scheich? Wie war das mit dem Scheich?
Was mit dem Scheich noch weiter war, erzähl ich euch sogleich. Der alte Scheich von Istanbul traf eine Maid in Bonn. Die lief vor einem Wolkenbruch im Sommerkleid davon. Er bot ihr seinen Regenschirm und wollte höflich sein. Da rief das Mädchen:"Danke schön. Hier darf man sich nichts leih´n." So streng sind hier die Bräuche. Das hasste nun davon, ohweiawei! Da lob ich mir die Bräuche, die Bräuche der Türkei. Wie war das mit dem Scheich? Wie war das mit dem Scheich?
Wie war das mit dem Scheich?
Er flog auf seinem Teppich gleich, zurück ins Türkenreich.
LEIB & SEELE, Kreuzberglied, 1981Posted: March 2, 2016 Filed under: 80s, Berlin Records, Germany, Private Pressings Leave a comment
I usually only post records by artists that are either anonymous or pseudonymous or dead or no longer active. I will keep true to that guideline, but I´ll make an exception with this privately pressed 45 just because I like it. Also, the songs have never been re-released, so basically nobody heard them since 1981.
After I bought the record last week at a local Kreuzberg flea market, I checked the Internet and immediately the name of Peter Gentsch, guitarist and vocalist with Leib & Seele came up. Now in his late 60s, Peter is still active and living in Kreuzberg. The Saturns, the Dreamers, the Kids, Ballads, Reaction, Mercurys – his website lists a whole bunch of Berlin groups he´s played in since 1962! The guy is a walking monument of Berlin rock history.
So, here´s some late Krautrock from Leib & Seele – body and soul. Kreuzberglied deals with living close to the Berlin Wall, deep in the heart of Kreuzberg. It´s an authentic early 80s Kreuzberg anthem, even down to the Berlin accent.
Hope you don´t mind me posting this, Peter…
"Ick wohn in Berlin, gleich an der Mauer,/ im tiefsten Kreuzberg, noch was genauer,/ Inne Wiener Strasse, im 4. Stock./ Und massenhaft Leute und Spatzen sind im Block./ Und tausend Hunde,/ was sag´ick, dit sinn noch viel mehr./ Renn ick über de Strasse,/ kommt er hinter mir her./ Und ick krieg Schiss, vor Gebell und Gebiss. / Und hör noch sofort,/ dasser janz harmlos is´./
Und fahr´ ick mit der U-Bahn,/ Kontrolle kommt rein./ Denk ick: So´ne Scheisse,/ muss dass denn sein?/ Die Jungs steh´n vor mir,/ woll´n die Fahrscheine seh´n./ Ick sag´ mir bleib´ ruhig,/ hab´ ja sowieso kehn./
So wohn´ ick in Berlin,/ gleich an der Mauer./ Im tiefsten Kreuzberg,/noch was genauer./ Inne Wiener Strasse, im 4. Stock./ Und massenhaft Leute und Spatzen sind im Block."
LEIB & SEELE, Kreuzberglied, 1981
LEIB & SEELE, It´s so hard being left alone, 1981

JOY UNLIMITED, Der Top-Hit von Topset, 1974Posted: February 29, 2016 Filed under: 70´s, Cartoon Sleeves, Germany, Promotional Records Leave a comment
A krautrocker´s chocolate bar? The Topset chocolate bar seems to have vanished from the market quickly, at least I can not remember it and I was 8 years old in 1974, a perfect customer for chocolate bars. I guess I was more into Kinderschokolade.
Here´s the Mannheim krautrockers Joy Unlimited, minus the vocalist they named themselves after – Joy Fleming, the inventor of German Soul singing.
I posted another promotional 45 by Joy Unlimited in 2008.
"Was heisst´n das, groovy?"
"Topset ist groovy!"
JOY UNLIMITED, Das neue Topset, 1974
JOY UNLIMITED, Qua Qua Pa Pa Qua, 1974
Nice water color drawing here on the sleeve, but with a classic "mistake" by the artist. Whenever I have drawn guitars like this, the musicians complained: " That´s wrong! Why do the guitars have no strings?"

Nintendo unveils a GameCube controller adapter for the Wii U
Nintendo has paid service to the most hardcore of Super Smash Bros fans by unveiling a GameCube controller adapter for the Wii U. This will allow fans of their quirky brawler series to hook up their GameCube controllers and play like they used to on Super Smash Bros Melee.
There's not many other details that we know about the new adapter as it has only really featured briefly at the end of the new trailer for the Super Smash Bros Invitational tournament that they have scheduled to take place on the show floor at this year's E3. It does feature four sockets though allowing up to four players to connect and join in the fun.
The Super Smash Bros Invitational is part of numerous festivities that Nintendo has planned for E3 although they won't be hosting a huge press conference like the other big platform holders and publishers. They will be hosting a special Nintendo Direct-style webcast to make their big announcements for the rest of the year.
Super Smash Bros is due out later this year on both the Wii U and 3DS. Both will support NFC enabled toys and Nintendo has planned some kind of cross-compatibility between the two versions.
Thanks Kotaku.

~ Group
T-ara (/tiˈɑːrə/; Korean: 티아라) is a South Korean girl group that debuted in 2009 under Core Contents Media, now known as MBK Entertainment.
Originally a five-member group composed of Jiae, Jiwon, Eunjung, Hyomin, and Jiyeon, they released their first song "Good Person" (좋은 사람; Joheun Saram) for the soundtrack of the Korean drama Cinderella Man in April 2009. After Jiae and Jiwon withdrew from the group two months later, T-ara debuted as a six-member group with the addition of Boram, Soyeon, and Qri in July 2009, releasing their first single "Lie" (거짓말; Geojitmal).
Their debut studio album Absolute First Album was released in December 2009 and spawned several hit singles including "TTL (Time to Love)", "Bo Peep Bo Peep", and "You Drive Me Crazy" (너 때문에 미쳐; Neo Ttaemune Michyeo). The album was followed by the group's first extended play, Temptastic, in 2010. Their second extended play John Travolta Wannabe (2011) produced "Roly-Poly", which was nominated for several awards and went on to become the Gaon chart's number one single of the year. In less than six months, the group released their third extended play Black Eyes (2011), which spawned three number one singles: "Cry Cry", "We Were in Love" (우리 사랑했잖아; Uri Saranghaetjanha) and "Lovey-Dovey".
In 2011, T-ara signed a $4.7 million contract with management company J-Rock for their Japanese debut, the highest out of all the Korean girl groups debuting in Japan. The group's first single was a remake of their 2009 hit "Bo Peep Bo Peep". It ranked at number one on the Oricon weekly charts. T-ara is regarded as the most popular K-pop girl group in China.

Is exercising okay when nursing? I thought I read somewhere it can change the taste of your milk. How much is okay? I don't really like doing too much aggressive exercise, just something along the lines of yoga and doing an elliptical machine.
Is exercising okay when nursing? I thought I read somewhere it can change the taste of your milk. How much is okay? I don't really like doing too much aggressive exercise, just something along the lines of yoga and doing an elliptical machine.
Have never ever heard that.
the only thing i have heard is to not lose to much weight too quickly. i think it's not more than 2 lbs a week as to not affect supply. exercising is great as long as doctor has given the go ahead! hth

Yes I have heard that the acids that are created in your body when you exercise do go into your milk, however they pose no danger to your baby, and most babies don't mind the difference.
Also, you may want to wash your breasts after exercising because of the saltiness of your sweat, baby may not like it.

DD born at Home on May 10th 2008 @ 8 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches
I had read that intense exercise will increase the lactic acid in breastmilk. What you're mentioning definitely doesn't sound like it would cause a problem. And exercise is so good for your mind and body!
Here is what the La Leche League FAQ says:
Will my milk supply be affected if I exercise?
It depends what the exercise is. Women with babies have always worked - they couldn't afford not to. Often this work involved fairly strenuous manual labor. We also feel better when we get exercise, and this is certainly good for both mother and baby.
Some important points to bear in mind are:
Wait until the baby is at least 6 weeks old or more.
Start the exercise slowly and gradually.
Be sure to consume liquids to replace those lost by sweating.
Some kinds of exercise can be done with baby.
Walking briskly, mild aerobic exercises and water exercises are ideal in the beginning.
Other good exercises for later on are swimming and aerobics.
Don't do too much! It will tire you too much and take you away for too long; if you want to breastfeed, you need to be there.
And KellyMom has this to say:
Does exercise affect milk supply or nutrient content?
No. Studies have shown no difference in the volume or composition of the milk or babies' weight gain. One study showed a slight increase in milk supply for the women who exercised regularly, but because of the small size of the study this increase may not be significant.
Does lactic acid increase in breastmilk after exercise?
Research has not shown a noticable increase in lactic acid buildup after moderate exercise (50% & 75% intensity). The lactic acid in breastmilk does increase somewhat if mom exercises to maximum (100%) intensity, also described as exhaustive exercise. This increase may be present up to 90 minutes post-exercise. There are no known harmful effects for the baby.
I find that it is so good for my attitude and mood if I get out for a walk once a day. It combats my lack of energy in the afternoon.

Halloween Cauldron Cupcakes
These Halloween Cauldron Cupcakes are a quick and easy way to make any celebration special!
So it's a Halloween Party all week you guys!
Kristan and I have declared it Halloween Party Week…and we are going to be supplying you with ideas for Halloween treats!
Basically what that means is cute food all week.
I'm in!
So basically we are inviting you to hop on the Halloween train and get all your ideas in order.
Only a month left!
ANNND we're have a link up party on Friday where you can share all your Halloween ideas! FUN!
Now, I have to say that I've been off the cute food for a while now.
I basically OD'd on cute food early in my blogging years. I used to be all caught up in adorableness.
I got over that pah-rity quickly.
Ain't nobody got time to be tweezering sprinkles onto a cookie.
But I'm going back to my roots and this week we're gonna be giving you loads of ideas on how to wow the Halloween dessert table.
I'm also going to dip into my archives and remind you guys of come cute stuff I made in the years of yore.
Back when the food was cute and photography was el-crappo.
But first we must focus on cupcakes.
Mini ones.
Mini ones that look like a little Witch's Cauldrons.
Seriously cute.
Yes, they look fancy, but they are oh-so-easy. Trust me.
Just a few steps to cupcake domination.
I started by making Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes.
(I'm gonna get you guys the red velvet recipe tomorrow.)
ps.. you could totally make these full sized cupcakes with a Miniature Peanut Butter Cup, instead of the itty-bitty-already-unwrapped-kind. Because, FYI…a whole cake batch of mini cupcakes basically makes infinity.
Anyway…start with the cupcakes.
Here's the mini cupcake pan I use.
Then make some frosting.
I always use my favorite vanilla buttercream recipe.
Take out one cup of the frosting and save that for later. Then divide the remaining frosting in half.
Color half yellow and half orange.
Then using a piping bag, put about 1 cup of the yellow on one side of the bag and the same amount of orange on the other.
Just smoosh it in. It's fine, trust me…you want it to be swirly so it looks like a flame.
Also I used a Wilton 1M tip on my bag.
You'll need to refill the piping bag when you run out, and just do it the same way as the first time. Overfilling piping bags is mucho annoying. I speak from experience.
Pipe the frosting on the cupcake like this…
Just a quick swirl.
Also, I don't recommend ever using a ziplock bag to pipe with a tip. Again, take the advice.
With the reserved frosting, go ahead and color that green.
I filled another piping bag with the green and attached a Wilton #12 tip, but any medium round tip will be fine!
Next grab some mini peanut butter cups and pipe on some frosting like this…kinda messy, to look like bubbly witches brew!
These are a little bit of a riff on Kristan's Peanut Butter Cup Cupcake Toppers she made a few years ago!
To make a little "spoon" for the cauldrons I grabbed some black candy melts and melted them in a zip-top bag.
I cut off a tiny corner and piped lines onto a piece of parchment paper.
(you could also just use melted chocolate)
You could easily use black licorice for this too, I just couldn't find any at my supermarket.
OR you could omit the spoon altogether. Honestly.
As soon as they set up I broke them into small pieces and placed it in the green frosting…
See how adorable?
Like really.
Anyhow check out what Kristan's Oreo Spider Cupcakes!
And stay tuned all week for more fun Halloween Party treats!

While this story doesn't have the heft of "The Blessed Man of Boston, My Grandmother's Thimble, and Fanning Island," to mention one of his other stories about a death in the family, it's worth a read to see Updike work with such primal material. »Read Full Blog Post

Reviews for Beef 'n' Eggplant Pie
"Listened to some of the others and did not use a pie crust and just a put in a casserole....oh no did not have the celery so cut up a fresh carrot from the garden, added celery seed and yum. This is amazing will try with celery next but this was good. Simple and healthy."
"INSTEAD OF PUTTING THIS IN A PIE CRUST I PUT IT IN A CASSEROLE THEN YOU CAN REHEAT IT VERY WELL. ALSO LESS CALORIES. I JUST LOVE THIS RECIPE. I MAKE THIS A LOT. I FREEZE EGGPLANT TO MAKE IT IN THE WINTER.donalee2"
"INSTEAD OF PUTTING THIS IN A PIE CRUST I PUT IT IN A CASSEROLE THEN YOU CAN REHEAT IT VERY WELL. ALSO LESS CALORIES. I JUST LOVE THIS RECIPE. donalee2"
"I used ground turkey instead of the beef other wise I followed the recips. It was very good."
"I just wanted to make a note that this recipe really does not reheat well at all since the crust becomes soggy from the eggplant. Next time I'll be sure to invite company for dinner so we don't have leftovers."
"I could eat the eggplant sauteed in butter all by itself, but once it's mixed with the rest of the ingredients, it's more palatable for those who aren't wild about it."
"My 15 year old son really like it before he found out it had eggplant in it! Now he wouldn't admit it. The whole family gobbled it up."
"This is really an easy recipe and my family loved it!"
