Giada--the new "semi-homemade?"
For a long time, Giada has been one of my favorite chefs. Her recipes almost always work for me and are flavorful yet unfussy. That flavorfulness used to seem to come from great fresh ingredients.
Recently, however, I've been noticing a disturbing trend, culminating with a recipe from a recent show. In this case, she took brownies from a box mix and topped them with Nutella, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips, and called the whole thing a recipe. I'm sorry, but in my world, that just doesn't count as homemade--perhaps just "assembled" at best. I think Giada has been using this Sandra Lee semi-homemade technique rather often recently (mostly in desserts with boxed cake mix bases, etc., but also with some other more "main course" dishes too). Don't get me wrong, I'm all for streamlining, but I just don't think this is good. Giada has been relatively respected by many home cooks, and I wish she weren't encouraging the average Joe/Jane to skip the actual "cooking part." It seems rather at odds with her original philosophy.
Anyway, it could be just me--maybe I'm just imagining things.... What are other CH's views on the situation?
I would have to agree. I saw a show this weekend that included what I consider assembly. Take store-bought ciabatta bread and slice, then grill. Top with jarred apricot jam, sliced cheese and slice store-bought roasted chicken. This is assembly..... my kid was doing stuff like this by age 6!
The emphasis is very much on quick, easy and minimum effort.
I despise that sort of "cooking" but my non-foodie friends remind me that they LOVE Sandra Lee, Giada, and Rachael because it's the kind of cooking they can actually do. They don't want to cook like me: a 3-day process just to roast a chicken because one has to brine, dry, roast, rest, broil, etc. Sure, the quality of their cooking is not as good as mine, but that's why they go to restaurants. I can see their point. BTW: Giada is the only cooking show my husband will watch - he says she has the best cleavage.

re: Claudette
I don't get why people don't see that there is a middle ground between assembly type recipes and complex recipes that take hours to prepare. I really really hate the way FN is pepetuating this myth. They seem to be saying, "If you aren't willin to slave over a hot stove for hours, then you can't cook, so don't even try. How about some assemblage instead?"
You can whip up a meal from fresh ingredients without it being long or complicated. Once upon a time there were FN cooks who actually did that. FN keeps cancelling their shows.
re: Avalondaughter
>>All those David Rosengarden, Mario and Sara lovers, get out of the way. Alton is just quirky enough to keep around for entertainment value.
Very true, scubadoo97.
>>FN keeps cancelling their shows.
And let me guess, they schedule the Mickie D's commercial where people can't even manage breakfast.
for a long time now, TVFN has been about entertainment and not about cooking. This is just another step out of cooking altogether. and don't tell me it doesn't have something to do with the departure of the real chefs... Emeril, Mario..... from the network.
We aren't supposed to notice.... or something.
re: ChefJune
I have seen her use ketchup as a flavoring agent. But the worst for me was when she used a store bought jar of red sauce. That was a bit much for some one who claims to be an Italian chef.
I used to watch her show. But now just find her shallow and annoying. She has spread herself too thin and has wound up showcasing her lack of any real substance.
re: Withnail42
Using jarred marinara sauce bugs me, too. I also get really irked when she is scooping flour, sugar and other dry goods for baking. (As mentioned above...not that she does this much any more.) Anyway, she supposedly went to culinary school to train as a pastry chef, but she doesn't measure her dry goods properly at all. For someone who claims to have gone to France, no less, for culinary school, it seems like blasphemy!
I've also seen her use prepared pesto. I know that pesto is labor intensive, but just doesn't seem very authentic.
I don't recall ever see her made fresh pasta or pizza dough either.
re: jewel4352
re: jewel4352
A pesto is not *that* labor intensive. Throw some pine nuts, parm, basil, oil, etc into a food processor and whiz. I can do it in 3 minutes. Even Rachael Ray routinely makes her own pesto and variations of pesto.
One of her recipes I recall was to cook store bought raviolIi and add jarred marinara sauce and ricotta with some basil. eg http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recip...
I really could have figured out this type of assembly of grocery store items without instructions.
re: ChefJune
What you're talking about is the evoloution of channels like this. Unlike a traditional TV network which fills up it's program line with a wide variety of different programs, one-note cable channels like FN or MTV or The Weather Channel have to fill up 24 hours of programming 7 days a week on the same subject. Take a look at MTV or The Weather Channel. In the beginning, MTV played only music videos. Now it rarely plays videos, it has programs that talk about music or about the "rock" lifestyle and such. The Weather Channel used to be nothing but weather forecasts 24/7. Now they have a series of programs that talk about the weather. It's merely a part of the changes on FN as it finds it's largest audience.
re: ChefJune
I have noticed this with her for a long time. She is always looking for short cuts and has made a trend of assembling things. I'll be honest, I watch her because I enjoy making fun of her; I don't like her. She says the same things over and over again, "just like that", "it's it pretty", "pop it in the oven". In fact, those quotes are even similar to what Sandra Lee says too!
Anyway, I have noticed she is moving away from Italian more and more as well. Like another poster sort of pointed out, is it really Italian if only one ingredient is vaguely Italian?
whatever, I guess. I don't really watch FN anymore, unless it's Good Eats, Healthy Appetite or Barefoot Contessa, sometimes. My Saturday addiction used to be all the shows on Saturday morning (kinda replaced Sat. morning cartoons). But now, I can't stand the hosts and find something else to watch instead.
Boo, Food Network!
re: jewel4352
Oh, I don't know. I have fond memories of my nona showing me how to make Italian Quesadillas....
Italian Quesadillas Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
Show: Everyday Italian
Episode: Meet and Mingle
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
9 (8-inch-diameter) flour tortillas
3 cups shredded Fontina
3/4 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained well and patted dry
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
1/3 cup freshly shredded Parmesan, plus 3 tablespoons for garnish
(of course I'm kidding but this recipe is for real on her site)

re: southernitalian
I've defended her authenticity as her being Italian also. Her parents were divorced when she was young. That must have something to do with the name change. According to a bio I just read, all the kids changed their names after the divorce.
She was born in Rome. Her last name at birth is De Benedetti--sounds Italian to me. Her accent is authentic, but not common in the US because most Italian-Americans are not descended from Rome and don't speak the Roman form of Italian. Italian as a language has evolved over many centuries, and Italy as a nation has only been unified for less than 150 years (and even now there is dissent about unification in the North). The way people speak Italian in the Veneto, in Naples, in Sicily, etc. is very different from the way the Romans speak it. My own descendants don't sound anything like Giada, because they're from extreme southern Italy.
Now, as for Giada's cooking, I'm going to have to stop defending that, as I hear that she's now using jarred sauce, packaged mixes, etc. Not for me.
re: southernitalian
re: jewel4352
re: Avalondaughter
re: southernitalian
I used to watch her show but the more exposed she got I realized the less she had to say or could do. For me the final straw was on her travel show she went to Paris and only ate Italian or 'Itanianesque' food. Then when she was a judge on TNFNS she was just plain nasty and mean to the contestants who had no experience. I have since seen her on the Today Show where she proved that she is incapable of doing live TV and a live cooking demo where she literally could not boil water.
re: jewel4352
I have to agree with jewel. I don't like her either and she uses the same phrases over and over and over like there we go constantly I keep asking myself where are WE going? I also agree that she doesn't cook like she used to. I think all the FN stars are getting that way. I like Barefoot Contessa because she really cooks and makes a mess in the kitchen. You ever notice how sterile Giada's environment is? Let's face it, we all can read a cookbook we are looking for delicious foods made from scratch. It is not like 30 minute meals where you can't produce long cooking processes. Maybe her new baby will keep her home.
And have you seen the episode of Iron Chef when she was up against Rachael Ray? She was befuddled the whole time, can't work under pressure. The look on her face was priceless when Rachael won. Talk about a Kodak moment! she had such a pissy expression of disbelief that she lost. And she had Bobby Flay who is rather good in Iron Chef. Rachael was having fun the whole time. Giada was running around with her head up her*** She just wants to be all that but she isn't
i had to lol at your use of the word "assembled" - i have the SAME problem with the FN (giada and others) and elsewhere and have often used that...it's not a recipe, it's just assembling food!
it really irks me when she uses wonton wrappers to make ravioli. you're italian! at least go buy some fresh pasta dough if you're not going to make your own.
i've also watched less and less of the FN in the last few years, whereas it used to be my go to channel. my 6 month old son is, however, fascinated - he spent saturday morning screeching at sunny anderson from his jumperoo. i think he was excited by her use of bacon fat and butter (and i wasn't all that unhappy about it either).
Yes, why even bother doing things that anyone could think up for themselves? Chocolate brownie mix, canned frosting, sprinkle coconut on top, Buy Italian rolls and some other stuff to put on it. Duh. This is barely above the level of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. New slogan: "Way less than cooking!"
re: mpalmer6c
I take what I like and "delete" what I don't like. Using DVR is a great thing because you can see what the show is about and watch it or not. Most of them I delete to be honest.
For example, I loved the salmon sticks recently shown. That was interesting. Yes, not sure what the italian connection is, but I don't really care. I'm looking for ideas that are simple and tasty.
I would assume that she is cooking for her audience. She, just like Rachel Ray (no flames folks) has branched out from her original show. And I love being able to take the short cuts. With two working parents, kids at home, and all that entails, I'm not even going to try to make a three day chicken or bake my own bread on most days. Sure on the weekend I might go that route, but on Thursday night, between getting home, getting the kid to karate class, my wife working late, etc. I want somethig that I can start and have on the table in 35-40 minutes or less. If that means using a good jarred pasta sauce as a base, the I will. And because I am the norm, not the exception that TFN is looking for, the shows give me what I want. Sure I love the shows that show me how to make things from scratch, but I use the recipes from the shortcuts more often.
re: dinwiddie
No one is disputing what you are describing. It is just that every single flipping show is that way on FN. Where is the balance?
Bottom line is, they are catering to people like you, who appreciate this kind of convenience and pretty much ignoring the others who want something other than quick shortcuts. That is the marketplace at work, and I can understand it, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. As many before have mentioned, FN has turned its back on what used to be their core audience, the people who made them what they are today.
re: dinwiddie
Don't get me wrong--I am very much in favor of smart shortcuts (I, too, have occasionally used a good jarred sauce, pretty much always used canned broth, and love frozen phyllo as a crust for chicken pot pie). Since I work long hours, my meals need to be done in ideally ~30 min as well.
Yet I still want the food I eat to be as homecooked as possible. I think it's healthier in terms of nutrition and yummier in terms of taste. The problem I have is when a "recipe" is presented in which not one ingredient is either homemade or in "whole" form from the market (ie veggies or a fish fillet, etc.). Thus, as far as the original example of the boxed brownie-Nutella-chocolate chips combo, I just don't consider it homecooked. It's both full of chemicals and lacking the homemade depth of flavor. I'd rather she gave a recipe for hazelnut-topped pudding, or something like that (I make from-scratch pudding all the time in under 10 min, which is likely faster than frosting all those fake brownies).
In short, give me **smart** shortcuts to speed the cooking process and fast recipes (isn't that the whole point of a show entitled **Everyday** Italian?). But let them be real recipes, not assemblages of "fake foods."
i disagree with the idea that every single show is like that on f.n. yeah, there are quite a few, but bobby flay, tyler florence, jamie oliver, ina garten, and mario batali--these are just the ones that come to mind--all have shows in which they legitimately cook, and aren't gearing their recipes toward ease for people who don't have a lot of time.
i understand your frustration, but i think a lot of chowhounders get a bit hyperbolic about the subject.
re: beelzebozo
Look at the new shows they are introducing. New Batali and Lagasse shows are gone from the schedule. Garten, Flay, Florence are holdovers from before, it will be interesting to see how they end up. The new shows are much more along the same vein of quick shortcut, assembly shows. Jaime Oliver isn't touched by FN yet if his show is being done by the BBC.
re: beelzebozo
One overlooked aspect of the shows you mentioned, I think, is that even though they're not marketed as such, many of the recipes are still fast & easy. A recent Jamie at Home show just wrapped asparagus in bacon, broiled it, and served it with a soft-cooked egg. It took him all of 30 seconds to explain the recipe, and probably would take the home cook less time to put together the food itself than to heat the broiler. Quick and unfussy, yet still very much homecooked, not assembled from "convenience foods." Nigella Express, too, has simple fast recipes, but they're still real food.
It's too bad that these types of shows about real food are full of tips/recipes useful to the harried cook, but that they get overpowered by quick-fixers just because they aren't specifically marketed as "American Mom" shows.
On the Jamie Oliver note: I wish FN would rerun his old shows, and throw it into the mix of 24/7 same-chef repeats (I do love Flay & crowd, but some extra Jamie during the week would be super!)
Perhaps Giada has to deal with a new baby now too (isn't she a new mother?) and doesn't have the time to make everything from scratch the way she used to. Personally, I don't care for her, a little too titillating if you know what I mean. But I think she would really have to decline quite a bit to sink to Sandra Lee levels.
Watched some old Mario Batali Molto Mario shows on Fine Living - he was looking down his nose at the thought that the home cook wouldn't make fresh pasta or pizza dough from scratch, another end of the spectrum. Lately, with the preponderance of working parents, conflicting family schedules, competing sports activities, it's a miracle we can get a homemade dinner on the table any night of the week.
My view is that if Sandra, Giada and Rachel Ray can get people in the kitchen making dinner for their family & friends, more power to them. AS 'Hounds, we may not approve of their recipes or techniques, but who are we to criticize that this isn't better than takeout or Mickey D's? My gripe is that FN needs to offer more diversity - where are new Gartn/Chiarello/Batali type show for those of us who do manage to do more than throw together Hamburger Helper and boxed brownie mixes?
re: Diane in Bexley
Yes, she is a new mother. But, the new shows on air now were filmed a year or more ago.
It's interesting how people say the don't have time to make a homemade marinara sauce, fresh pasta or pizza dough. Italians have been doing this for centuries before the conveniences of electricity, pasta machines or Kitchenaids. They were doing it by hand. Also washing clothes without the benefits of a machine. Yet, in our society we now say we don't have time to make these things from scratch, when we have all the conveniences to do so in minutes.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong. It's just interesting thought.
There are less and less quality cooking programs on FN because they are catering to "fast + easy", and the executives of the network do not deny this. It's just a shame that they can't balance "fast + easy" with programming that is less about being "fast + easy".
re: Diane in Bexley
When my daughter was 11, she saw someone on FN making pasta from scratch, so she decided to do it, too. While it was a bit on the thick & chewy, side, it was perfectly edible, although she did not know how to make a sauce at the time. It's too bad more adults aren't that adventurous (although, I have to say that cleaning up the kitchen took more time than the cooking, but doesn't prep and cleanup usually take more time than cooking?)

We Stopped Dreaming (by lhite)
Neil deGrasse Tyson killed it on last Friday's Bill Maher talking about the defunding of the space program:
"First of all, let's clarify what the NASA budget is. Do you realize that the $850 billion dollar bailout, that sum of money is greater than the entire 50-year running budget of NASA?
And so when someone says, "We don't have enough money for this space probe," I'm asking, no, it's not that you don't have enough money, it's that the distribution of money that you're spending is warped in some way that you are removing the only thing that gives people something to dream about tomorrow.
You remember the 60s and 70s. You didn't have to go more than a week before there's an article in Life magazine, "The Home of Tomorrow," "The City of Tomorrow," "Transportation of Tomorrow". All of that ended in the 1970s. After we stopped going to the Moon, it all ended. We stopped dreaming.
And so I worry that the decision that Congress makes doesn't factor in the consequences of those decisions on tomorrow. Tomorrow's gone. They're playing for the quarterly report, they're playing for the next election cycle, and that is mortgaging the actual future of this nation, and the rest of the world is going to pass us by."

As flu activity is still picking up across the United States, there is a good chance that your kids have either had the flu, have the flu now, or will get the flu soon, especially if they didn't get a flu vaccine.
Understanding what typical flu symptoms are in children can help you figure out if your child does have the flu.
If your child does seem to have the flu, remember that he doesn't necessarily need a flu test if he has classic flu symptoms and there are a lot of flu cases in your area. Flu tests have a high rate of false negatives (a negative flu test when your child really has the flu), so your pediatrician likely won't rely on a flu test alone to diagnose your child with flu symptoms. It can be a clinical diagnosis - based on the your child's signs and symptoms.
And remember that although it can be expensive and kids often don't like the taste of the suspension form, Tamiflu can be helpful to treat flu if your child is diagnosed within 48 hours of the start of his flu symptoms. Your child will get better without an antiviral flu medication (Tamiflu or Relenza), but he may get better a little faster and his symptoms could be a little milder with one of these medicines.
Lastly, since flu season often goes into March or April, get your unvaccinated kids a flu vaccine to protect them for the rest of this year's flu season.

Everything about this lovely B & B was great. Although the room we stayed in was small and a little crowded once we moved in with all our stuff, it was impeccably clean and for the price it was just fine. Mark and Debbie were warm, informative and welcoming, and the breakfasts were to die for. My only criticism is for something no one can really control; our front-of-the-inn room was noisy with traffic all night with the windows open since it was summer. But for that the considerate hosts even provide earplugs!! I would highly recommend this inn.

This was a Great place. It was my first Experience in a bed and breakfast, and my first trip to Vermont. The owners were wonderful, the place was quiet, and the Breakfast was amazing. Home made muffins in the morning, and cookies at night. I was there for the wedding of a friend of my girlfriend's, and it was a great time. It was great to find some one in Vermont (Mark) who knew as much about Southern football as I did.

Only negative aspect was the difficulty with internet service

Debbie and Mark (and of course Ruggles - Magic never appeared - hmm - is he a magician?) - welcomed us into their home - despite us arriving abit late in the evening. We were settled into our room (Henry) - and found to our delight that it had a full bathroom (something we're not used to in B&B's). After that we were told of a few places to eat in Woodstock, all within a short drive from their B&B. Couldn't ask for better advise (Bentley's). The next morning, we were lazing around in bed, when we heard a little meow at the door, to discover Ruggles was all set to come in and spend some time with me. I'm a cat lover, so loved it! We then slowly made our way downstairs to a wonderful breakfast that Debbie had made - knowing that I'm a Type 1 diabetic aka Fat Cat Anna at Diabetes1.org having to watch my carb intake. I've written to her already asking her for her blueberry muffin recipe, as they didn't make my blood sugar (BG) spike up at all and I ate like a pig (she wanted to make sure we were well nourished). Oh and if you like coffee, you will love what they serve here and not be disappointed at all (I'm a bit of a coffee snob LOL). I wish we could have stayed longer, but alas, we had to go back home. You won't go wrong with staying here at all!

About a year ago, 10-year-old Danny Cauz, of , picked up a book, "The Strange Case of Origami Yoda." That book sparked a passion that would not only take up 5-10 hours per week for the student, but encourage him to teach his peers and community citizens about the ancient Japanese art form in upcoming weeks.
Yoda was the first figure Cauz constructed of paper. Since then, his interest in Origami has taken off to the point where he reads Origami books, watches Origami movies and follows well-known Origami artists' videos on YouTube.
A few of Cauz' creations are currently on display in the lobby of the and a special reception was held for him on Saturday to unveil his art. His mother, Kathleen Cauz, is encouraging of her son's hobby and helps him shop for the specialty paper needed.
"The fine motor skills are great, but, I mean, these are all angles and math and he doesn't even realize it," Kathleen Cauz said.
"I just realize it as fun!" Danny Cauz added.
The author of "The Strange Case of Origami Yoda," Tom Angleberger, reached out to Tri-Boro Patch to express how proud he is of Danny Cauz.
"Danny's Origami skills are really remarkable! It's hard to believe he started with my book, because he has greatly surpassed me in ability," he said. "His library display features the legendary Kawahata Yoda -- a difficult design created by Japanese Origami master Fumiaki Kawahata. I'm especially impressed that Danny folded one... because I can't!"
While Danny Cauz does try to teach his older brother Origami, his mother said it has not become a full family affair and her son is really the only one who spends time with it. Since he has made hundreds of Origami figures, Danny Cauz chooses his favorites to be displayed on book shelves at home and stores the others.
Depending on what he is attempting to construct, Danny Cauz follows diagrams with hundreds of steps, carefully folding and pressing paper in precise lines. He said he uses his fingernails to smooth each crease. But having a hobby like Origami does come with its frustrations.
"If you make a wrong fold, you can't get rid of the fold," Kathleen Cauz said.
When he does get frustrated, Cauz's mother said he simply steps away from the paper for a break. Still, Danny Cauz said there is an inherent satisfaction that comes with completing an Origami figure.
"You start with a piece of paper, then you put your mind into an Origami masterpiece," he said.
Danny Cauz is hoping to inspire others to feel the same way when he leads a Family Fun Night at the library. His mother said he could be teaching Origami to children, adults and senior citizens. Danny Cauz said he has also brought Origami to the classroom and around the time of Thanksgiving, he attempted to teach his classmates how to make a turkey.
Danny Cauz hopes to be able to teach Origami to his peers more in school through special programs. If Origami can have the same impact on other students as it has on Cauz, his mother thinks it would be beneficial. According to Kathleen Cauz, since taking up Origami this year, teachers have seen improvement in her son's reading skills and test scores. She attributes this to the Origami books he reads with pages of directions to follow.
As for the future, Danny Cauz hopes to refine his skills and be able to make Origami sculptures. He already has one in mind, "Last Waltz" by Neil Elias, which involves figures of a man and woman dancing. Danny Cauz may watch a video to help him with this Origami piece, but he prefers videos where the narrator does not talk as much because, he said, it tends to distract him.
While he continues to construct more complicated objects, Danny Cauz said the very first Origami figure he made, Yoda, is still his favorite.
"I like to remember back on how I started. I like to think, 'Wow, that was really easy,'" he said.

With a dozen of the region's most talented jazz musicians, the 2011 Faculty and Friends Combo will feature David Hoffman, trumpet and piano; Kevin Malley, alto sax; John Miller, guitar; Nikki Malley, vibraphone; Kevin Hart, piano, vibraphone and drums; Danny Leahy, piano; Hannah Malley, bass; Andy Crawford, guitar and bass; Steve Jackson, bass; Brian Zeglis, drums; Jake Dillon, drums; and Semenya McCord, vocals.

Friday night, April 1, brings the Knox Alumni Big Band at 8 p.m., and the Funky Butt Brass Band at 9:30 p.m., in McGillacuddy's.
Directed by Justin Haynes, a Knox graduate and band director at ROWVA High School, the Alumni Big Band draws on two decades of graduates of the Knox jazz program.
The Funky Butt Brass Band is a St. Louis-based brass band that blends traditional New Orleans-style jazz with funk, blues, and swing. A review by Towerlight Online praises the band for its "impeccable musicianship and technique [and] airtight grooves that would feel right at home on a James Brown A-side."
The Saturday, April 2, concert at 5 p.m. in the Orpheum Theatre, 57 S. Kellogg St., Galesburg, features the award-winning Knox Jazz Ensemble, directed by Nicole Malley, and this year's guest artist The Julian Lage Group.
The Knox Jazz Ensemble has performed for the Illinois Music Educators Association, Central Illinois Jazz Society and for jazz festivals at Western Illinois University, University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, University of Notre Dame, University of Kentucky, University of Kansas, and the University of North Texas. The ensemble is directed by Nicole Malley, instructor in music and director of the jazz program at Knox College.

Lage is a rising star in jazz guitar, noted for his combination of swing and modern rock influences, creativity and melodic power. According to a review in the British newspaper The Observer, "to find music that is both abstract and instantly attractive is so rare that there are virtually no points of comparison."
Sponsored by Knox College, with support from individual and corporate donors, the Knox-Rootabaga Jazz Festival for more than 30 years has brought leading jazz artists to Galesburg, including Matt Wilson, Kurt Elling, Benny Green, Frank Mantooth, Greg Osby, Curtis Fuller, Mose Allison, the Hornheads, and the Artie Shaw and Woody Herman bands. The festival was initiated by Galesburg community members Mona and Tom Tourlentes at Carl Sandburg College in 1980. It is named after "The Rootabaga Stories," a series of children's stories by Galesburg native and famed poet Carl Sandburg.
Founded in 1837, Knox is a national liberal arts college in Galesburg, Illinois, with students from 48 states and 51 countries. Knox's "Old Main" is a National Historic Landmark and the only building remaining from the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates.

It starts early, with even sixth graders admitting their use. Florida young people find ways to get alcohol and drugs.
When it comes to businesses helping children get their hands on alcohol, that's where law enforcement steps in.
We went undercover with St. Johns County Sheriff's deputies to find out which restaurants aren't following the rules.
This is the second undercover operation we've done with recently with the Sheriff's Office and a non-profit coalition called PACT -- Prevention Coalition of St. Johns County. PACT is a community group focused on stopping underage drinking and drug use. A key to that is stopping businesses from actually selling it to them.
"The fact they were served alcohol is a misdemeanor in the state of Florida," said Deputy Robert Kennedy explained his reason for interrupting the evening rush at Lemongrass Asian Bistro in St. Augustine.
A waitress placed a glass of wine and a bottle of beer in front of two teens participating in a sting by the Sheriff's Office.
Without naming the minors in this story, we can tell you the young man is 17 and his female counterpart 18.
They both enter the restaurants as if they're on a date. One or both order alcohol. If the served asks for it, they show their real IDs.
"I think it's great way to keep businesses honest, and keep kids from getting in danger, because adults are letting them do things they're not responsible enough to make decisions for yet," the female operative told us. "It's a good way to keep people honest about selling alcohol to underage kids."
The teen boy added, "You look at it as friends, keeping them safe and out of trouble in the future. Keeping them making the right decisions, or keeping them from making the wrong decisions."
When the teens went into a restaurant, Deputy Kennedy shadowed them. He was there to make sure the teens stay safe, and to intervene if alcohol gets served illegally.
Kennedy told the manager at Lemongrass: "Your server checked IDs on two patrons that were underage. One was 17, the other 18. Checked their IDs, yet still served them alcohol, a light beer, and a glass of wine."
On a Friday night, the detail visited 10 restaurants. Three served alcohol to the minors. Despite the mistakes made by employees at Sumo Sushi in Julington Creek, deputies made no arrests and wrote no citations, but they made their message clear.
"Make sure that you check it, because the charge is going to go on you. The $500 fine is going to go on you," Corporal Greg Suchy told a server.
What we want to do is get with the person who is physically checking the ID and talk to that person. When there's so many people involved, we take the opportunity to make it a learning experience for as many people as possible… That's our opportunity to involve four or five people."
LeAnn Daddario, the PACT Prevention Coalition coordinator, chaperoned the teens operatives throughout this sting. She's involved with the group's simple mission: to stop teen alcohol abuse.
"We're out here with sheriff's office, working with establishments, to make sure we're not serving to underage kids," Daddario said. "It's not one industry's, not one sector's responsibility, it's a community wide responsibility."
In St. Johns County, the most recent study showed alcohol is the most commonly used drug among students. Almost half the kids surveyed admit they've consumed alcohol.
As for the compliance detail, the reaction from those minors involved – surprise! They can't believe – even though their IDs say clearly they're under 21, that they keep getting served.
"Well I'm mainly surprised at the lack of hesitation by the people," the 17-year-old told us. "They see the ID… grab the beer and the wine. It seems like they're not even paying attention or reading ID."

And Now, The Good News, Tovarisch
Apparently, Teddy Kennedy got it right- this time. There were no calls to lawyers, PR people or the Boston Democrat machine. In addition, he DID remember to call the authorities.
Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
In other news, Neo-Neocon comments on the Iraqi vote- and those who want to spin the vote as failure. She catches the MSM with their pants down.
Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
In other news, Neo-Neocon comments on the Iraqi vote- and those who want to spin the vote as failure. She catches the MSM with their pants down.
One would think that this referendum news would be cause for celebration. I, for one, plan to savor and enjoy it if the constitution is indeed passed. Would that Reuters could spare a moment to do the same. Or are they suffering from the same sort of depression as the NY Times?Dr Sanity takes note of the vote as well, with a more nuanced observation. In recalling a conversation with a Russian colleague prior to the Wall coming down, the Russian notes...,
" It must be so nice to have an ordinary life where you can do things so normal like buy a bottle of perfume."Dr Sanity is right on the money. SC&A lived in Eastern Europe just after the wall came down- what she is describing only touches on the abysmal life- or rather existence- that was 'life' behind the Iron Curtain.
When I asked what she meant, she replied that what was everyday "normal" in my life, was an extraordinary event of momentous proportions in hers. "You have a real life," she emphasized, "Ours in the Soviet Union is only an imitation."
I think that is very eloquent. The Iraqis have a real life now--not an imitation one imposed by Saddam. I am not discounting the violence and the work that is yet to be done there, but for the first time Iraqis have a chance to have a normal life pursuing their own happiness and not the whims of a sadistic dictator and his thugs.

The Times-Tribune
By Jeff Noble / Staff Writer
For 11 years, the battle lines have been drawn.
The troops get into position, their guns and cannons blazing over what was once a peaceful and serene Knox County field.
But it's all a re-enactment — on the 151st anniversary of the first armed conflict with casualties in the state of Kentucky during the Civil War.
And this weekend, the Battle of Barbourville will fire up again.
This Saturday and Sunday's battle will be the 12th re-enactment of the historic event. The battlefield will be staged at Minton Hickory Farm, located a quarter-mile past Barbourville on KY 225 South. The gates open at 10 a.m. both days, with Saturday's battle beginning at 2:30 p.m., and Sunday's battle starting at 2 p.m.
Over those past years, the experience of going back into a pivotal time in Kentucky and the nation's history has brought thousands of visitors to the hundred acres along the Cumberland River. Many of those visitors come back — to watch the cavalry, infantry and artillery demonstrations, to see the camps set up by Confederate and Union army troops, or to buy items for sale that's related to the Civil War.
Ron Bowling of Barbourville, who plays a field commander in the battles, says it's an experience that's breathtaking to witness.
"When people come here on the third weekend of September, they come for a lot of sights and sounds. They come to step back into 1861 and see what the armies went through. They come for the Civil War camps, the battles that we portray, and the skits we put on. They come here to see history come alive," Bowling noted.
While many of the elements that make the weekend a must-see for Civil War buffs and students of history remain in place, he pointed out there will be a remembrance of a person who played a major part in the re-enactment.
"That will be a special memorial service for Ray Adkins, the founder of the Battle of Barbourville, who died on July 5, of this year. It'll be a Civil War period memorial service, called 'Drinking From the Same Canteen.' That will be this Saturday," said Bowling.
Also this Saturday, the Period Ball will be held at night, as will "Night Fire," featuring cannon fire during the nighttime, and some different presentations of persons involved in the battle. That includes a Civil War character portrayed by a member of Kentucky Chautauqua, part of the Kentucky Humanities Council.
Bowling said, "That would be Johnny Green. He was in the Orphan Brigade. He'll be here Saturday at 1 p.m."
According to the Kentucky Humanities Council's website, Johnny Green was 19 when the Civil War broke out. He was one of the few soldiers in the Orphan Brigade who was alive when the war ended. Soldiers in that brigade were unable to return to their home state of Kentucky until the war was over because they fought for the Confederacy and could be tried for treason during the Civil War.
Portraying Johnny Green in the presentation "An Orphan's Survival" will be Ethan Sullivan Smith of Cynthiana.
"So there's a lot more going on than just the battle. That's why people come back for the Battle of Barbourville," reported Bowling.
If you'd like more information on this weekend's events, call Barbourville Tourism at (606) 545-9674, or go to this website: www.battleofbarbourvilleky.com.

This has been a long time coming, but I didn't recognize that until today. I have been kind of thinking about what I should do with my space on the internet, but I didn't have any strong feelings about it until it all hit me at once. Before this blog turns five years old in May, I want to leave it behind and start blogging under my personal domain.
The way I make decisions is so immediate and so final that they sometimes feel destructive. What about all of the history here? I like being @writetoreach! People resisted when I just talked about changing the design of my blog. This is going to be so much work when I should already be focusing on other things. Ah, but it's the right decision and I'm excited. Destruction feels good sometimes.
I would like a more minimal design. That was my initial motivation. But I would also like to change the writing a bit to be more thoughtful and less confessional. More in the style of personal essay. I have been blogging under my full name for more than a year and a half, but I have avoided taking the final steps in that direction. Now is the time.
So I'm not sure when all of this will happen. I'm never very patient, so probably pretty quickly, but it will require a lot of work on my part and I want to make sure it's a change I'm happy with. I'm pretty attached to Writing To Reach You, and kind of can't believe how much I've changed since I started writing here, so I want to say goodbye the right way.

Guy who returned Jeter's 3,000th hit ball may owe $14,000 in taxes
Jul 12, 2011, 2:09 PM EDT
Remember when Oprah gave a car to every member of her audience? She should have said: "YOU owe $7,000 in taxes and YOU owe $7,000 in taxes and YOU owe …"
Christian Lopez may soon be crossing that bridge. He's the Yankees fan who grabbed Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit — the home run ball that put Jeter in the exclusive hit club and made Lopez famous. But instead of holding onto the memento to try and cash in on it, Lopez may owe a stack of cash to the IRS, according to the New York Times. Lopez returned the ball to Jeter, igniting a controversy over whether he's a dope or just a plain good guy. In return for his generosity, the Yankees showered Lopez with signed Yankees' stuff, among the swag some bats, balls, jerseys and free tickets.
In such gratitude begins tax liability, said Paul Caron, a tax professor at the University of Cincinnati law school and author of Tax Prof Blog.
"Pretty clearly he's going to have to report as income the value of all the stuff he got for the ball," Professor Caron said.
So break out your pencils.
On SportsMemorabilia.com, an auction site, baseballs signed by Jeter were being sold for up to $600, jerseys for close to $1,000 and bats for $900.
The tickets to the 32 remaining home games (after Sunday) have a combined face value of $44,800 to $73,600, according to the team's Web site. The tickets could be worth a lot more if the Yankees play deep into October. Steven Bandini, a tax partner at the accounting firm Zapken & Loeb, said that if the items were valued modestly at $50,000, they would probably carry a tax burden of about $14,000.
The Yankees would not comment on whether they would help Lopez with any tax payments. The 23-year-old has said he already owes more than $100,000 in student loans.
What's paramount here though is that Lopez believes he did the right thing. And that's what counts. But then I've never been known for my brilliant tax advice.

WELLAND JUNIORS u14s 3, LUDLOW FC u14s 1
9:50am Saturday 28th March 2009 in Sport
SUNNY conditions suited Welland well at the Hill Centre in Upton on Saturday morning, where they greeted Ludlow FC.
The team from Shropshire had played host to Welland at Christmas, losing 3-2 to their guests on that occasion.
Welland scored first thanks to Luke Wellham after 20 minutes of hard work from both teams.
Just before half-time Will Chambers got Welland's second, giving the hosts a much needed safety barrier.
The second-half saw both teams evenly matched with Ludlow looking dangerous and taking shots from all angles in an attempt to get back into the game.
But the Welland defence dealt with attacks and Mikey Catherall scored his side's third.
Ludlow maintained pressure until the end, getting a well-deserved goal minutes from time.

I founded Baby Basics because I wanted all babies to have a chance to grow and thrive like my children did and now my grandchildren are doing. The thought of babies having to be in diapers too long and crying from diaper rash was unthinkable to me. But the real passion for this program came after hearing stories from proud, brave, hardworking parents. Eric's story is just one example.
Eric's mom, Judy, told us that she was nursing her son and the salary check she received from being a secretary was lost in the mail. They waited for days which turned into a week and they had no food. Judy lost her milk and they barely had enough money to buy formula. Eric stayed in diapers longer than he should. Judy said, "If I would have had a program like Baby Basics, I would have had someone to turn to for help." Baby Basics was founded in 2004 to fill an unmet need–diapers for low income at risk babies. Here are some stories about the difference our program makes in the lives of the families we serve.
Why I Give to Baby Basics
By Sue Reynen
Baby Basics is a very special nonprofit that provides diapers and caring for low income families. Diapers are a basic necessity and are very expensive. This organization relieves these families of some of their financial burdens. By volunteering, I have the opportunity to meet these families and their children, providing one-on-one contact and observing how appreciative they are. I know these families would be struggling to keeping their babies in clean, dry diapers if it were not for Baby Basics. Volunteering helps me get to know these families and understand how hard they work in trying to make ends meet.
I donate to Baby Basics because it is an all volunteer organization where 100 percent of the donation goes to buying diapers, unless otherwise specified. Since Baby Basics is the only organization … Read More

If you enjoy eating eggs for breakfast, think about using only the whites, avoiding the yolk. Egg whites are healthy and contain less cholesterol than yolks. A good measure of substitution is to use the whites of two eggs, rather than the usual whole one. Sugar is known to lead to obesity if it is consumed too often, but calorie free sweeteners are a good replacement. A high-sugar diet leads to a lot of potentially-serious health risks, including heart disease and diabetes. Some great alternatives are Sweet-n-Low or Splenda to lower your sugar consumption. The difference will be unnoticeable.
Artificial sweeteners replacing all of your sugar intake is a good nutritional tip. While many people know they can gain weight from too much sugar, it's also important to know that sugar is at the source of many health problems, and that includes heart disease. Instead, substitute artificial sweetners like Stevia or Splenda. You may not even be able to tell anything is different.
If you want to be successful in your diet and exercise regimens, it is crucial to remain motivated and to reserve the necessary time to each. These are the two most important things you need to make sure it is working for you. It will be easier to find time to exercise if you are motivated to stay with it. Try to have a regular time for exercise. Choose a time that will work for you and plan to do exercises that you enjoy.
Practicing in learning new recipes could encourage proper eating habits as well as participating in eating proper nutrition. The novelty and challenge of creating brand new meals encourages good habits and stops diets from being unappealing and repetitive. This will take away the obligatory feeling when you are creating a healthy dish.
If you want to amp up the nutritional content in your diet, select natural foods. Processed foods are usually high in fat and contain ingredients that are not always healthy for your body. When you want to eat healthier, is is good to focus on specific actions you can take during the journey. Whenever possible choose a baked option instead of fried. As often as possible, follow this rule, and you'll find it becoming a good habit for you. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits initially, then have a bit of protein and eat your carbohydrates last. There is no doubt that carbs are necessary, though lots of people tend to overindulge. If you concentrate on consuming vegetables, fruits and proteins first, there should be less temptation when it comes to loading up on carbs.

Next Food Network Star
you mean the 2nd worst show in the history of the world is coming back on June 2?
from the sidebar
A lot of the contestants on this upcoming season have been on other FN shows in the past. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food-netwo...
Chris Hodgson was on the runner up team from Food Truck Race, Danushka Lysek was on Chopped (and was super annoying there so they'll probably love her on here), Rodney Henry was on both Throwdown and Chopped, Russell Jackson was on Iron Chef, Stacey Poon-Kinney was on one of the few episodes of Restaurant Impossible where the food at the restaurant wasn't the issue, and Viet Pham beat Bobby Flay on Iron Chef.
I'm wondering if they were running out of actual applicants so they had to go back in the files to see who they could pull out. When I saw that Danushka chick was going to be on it I gagged. I really didn't like her on Chopped. So snotty and pretentious.
re: juliejulez
re: paulj
re: paulj
See I think some seem like nice people. She did not. I think it's her voice. She is good on camera but I don't think people will like her. They have to pick someone that people can relate to (that's why Melissa D won I think), and people like Danushka are very much non-relatable.
re: juliejulez
While I too did not enjoy Danushka on Chopped (and in general I really like the show) - to me this sounds smart. In the past a number of contestants who seem to have interesting food experiences/ perspectives just aren't very good on camera.
I didn't like Danushka on Chopped - but she definitely didn't have any issues being on camera. Maybe it's just my bias growing up a bit shy and awkward - but seeing contestants struggle on camera has always been difficult for me to watch.
re: juliejulez
re: juliejulez
Almost fell off the sofa when I saw Stacey was going to be on FNS. Her restaurant is literally a stones throw from my house, I can walk there.
It always had a line out the door for breakfast even before RI showed up, and it still does. Stacey is incredibly nice and very sincere; it'll be interesting (maybe) to see how the producers and edits portray her on the show.
re: DiningDiva
Yeah I remember thinking "why are they even on restaurant impossible" since the restaurant looked OK, the food was good etc. But as the show went on it was revealed that they just spent too much money on the restaurant and had too many seniors that just drank coffee. She seems very nice, but, when she was on RI, wasn't she saying how she didn't want to do dinner service because she wanted to spend more time with her family? How is going on NFNS going to help her spend more time with family, especially if she wins? Puzzling.
re: juliejulez
The Trails was (and still is) primarily a breakfast/lunch place. She had tried dinner service before RI but it really missed the mark. The food itself was not the problem so much as some of the menu combinations were odd and sometimes the food was cold coming out of the kitchen. RI had her start doing dinner 3 mights a week (Th-Sa) and that worked. She added Wednesday and is only open for dinner 4 nights a week, and that's about right for the neighborhood. Dinner is still not the focus and she is rarely there for dinner service any more.
Rumor has it that she grossed $1 million recently and was able to pay her dad back for what he put into the place. The decor is holding up reasonably well, but is starting to show the wear and she'll need to sink some $$$ back into sprucing it up sometime soon.
The Trails was doing gluten-free LONG before it became popular. I wonder how much of that she will bring out on the show.
re: juliejulez
All I know is that the show is so fake - Danushka was a joke on Chopped. She gets lamb & basically pairs it w/garlic & rosemary & thinks it's innovative. I make that on a Tuesday night. The first round was worse, when she stared at the basket for the first 17 mins b4 remembering how to cook. FN Star is SO SCRIPTED. It's sad.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about last year's Food Network STAR, Justin Warner, whose quirky style and cooking got him a pilot but no tv show. The pilot, apparently produced by his then mentor Alton Brown, was simply a copy of Brown's road shows, and to make us fully aware of that, Warner kept chatting to the big photo of Brown in the back seat of the mini van. Anyhow, Alton is no longer producing, and while Justin seems to be still associated with FN (you see his face in commercials I think), he has yet to achieve stardon there.
I know I have seen Danushka Lysek on some coking show before but I know it was not on Chopped because I don't watch that show. I also don't think it was Chef Wanted. What am I not remembering?
Just getting the chance to sit down and watch this show tonight at 9pm on Friday night.
I'm seeing a handful of FN recycles: Rodney the pie guy (Chopped, Paula Deen, Ace of Cakes), Danushka (24 Hour Restaurant Battle, Chopped), Chris Hodgson (Great Food Truck Race and I think something else), and that Stacy woman. (was she the woman who lost her restaurant to divorce and overcooked scallops on Chopped?)
I expect to see someone from Worst Cooks introduce themselves next.

The Huffington Post | By Drew Guarini Posted: 05/16/2012 9:34 am Updated: 05/16/2012 9:34 am
We've all been there: spend your morning making the perfect sandwich, walk over to the office fridge with a growling stomach around lunchtime, only to discover it's gone. Now there's a way to fight back against hungry co-workers. Introducing Anti-Theft Lunch Bags.
Designers at "the." have created Anti-Theft Lunch Bags -- a fun spin to make your lunch look less like a delicious concoction and more like a molded, inedible piece of food headed for the garbage bin. For $8, you receive 25 plastic sandwich bags with strategically placed green splotches on the surface, to make the contents inside look like something no one would want to steal, let alone eat.
The two people behind the. are a male and female duo named Sherwood and Mihoko, respectively. Many of their products are cheeky redesigns of everyday products, like Speak-er, a speaker shaped like a comic's dialogue bubble or the Large Pocket Shirt, a T-shirt with a seriously oversized front pocket. Availability for all their items are limited, so the two can quickly make and sell any new, weird ideas that pop into their mind.
Five percent of the lunch bag proceeds will go to Freedom From Hunger.

After falling to Spain 1-0 in the last round of qualifiers, France now must take care of business in their remaining games and hope Spain's inconsistent form continues.
France had little trouble with Georgia in the first meeting back in March, earning a 3-1 win thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud, Mathieu Valbuena and Franck Ribery. Giroud's form has been particularly good of late with the Arsenal striker having already scored three goals for the Gunners in league play this season.
Didier Deschamps has no major injury issues to deal with and will be hoping that Finland can give his side an assist with a good result against Spain and open the door for France to reclaim the group's top spot.

Actress Overall Running for U.S. Senate; Rematch in 6th District GOP Primary
Park Overall, an environmental activist and actress, has filed a qualifying petition to seek the Democatic nomination for a run against Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker.
The Tennessean also reports on this deadline day for qualifying that a rematch looms in the Republican 6th District Congressional. Lou Ann Zelenik, who lost a close race to Rep. Diane Black two years ago, is trying again.
Overall, who spoke at the Tennessee Democratic Party's Jackson Day dinner on Saturday, was "very well received" there and decided to take on Corker, who is nearing the end of his first Senate term, party spokesman Brandon Puttbrese said.
Overall said she was driven to run by "an East Tennessee fire in my belly."
"It was the Blunt amendment that put me over the top," she said. "That's where they were going to decide if they would give me medical care or give me birth control depending on how they morally believed."
The Blunt amendment was proposed earlier this year to be added to a highway funding bill. In her speech at the Jackson Day dinner, Overall asked, "Why is my womb attached to a transportation bill?"
Overall may be best known for her role on the sitcom Empty Nest. She also appeared in the 1990 movie Kindergarten Cop.
...Zelenik picked up a qualifying petition in Wilson County to run for election in the newly redrawn 6th District, and said she plans to qualify by today's noon deadline.
Zelenik lost the 2010 GOP primary for the seat by fewer than 300 votes to Black, who went on to win the general election and is now serving her first term in Washington.
The fallout from that battle was heavy as Zelenik and Black traded barbed accusations and lawsuits. Zelenik ran an ad describing Black as having approved contracts for Aegis Sciences Corp., a drug testing company owned by her husband. A Nashville judge dismissed a suit filed by Aegis, saying the ad was protected political speech, while Zelenik countersued the company.
"We had to wait until the lawsuit was behind us" to take this step in qualifying, she told The Daily News Journal in an interview Wednesday night. "We are extremely pleased with the ruling."
Just days before the primary, Black released ads saying Zelenik built her construction company on government contracts and "even got certified to get preferential treatment under affirmative action."
