Hazan's tomato sauce with onion and butter
Made this the other night, on Candy's rec, to go in a grilled eggplant Parm -- it was delicious! I used a large shallot, having no onion on hand. I liked the subtle flavor of the shallot (you could really taste the buttery richness of the sauce), and if doubling would use 2 large shallots. Double the butter, too.
Can you post recipe or a link to it?
re: bakerboyz
Here's my version of it (which is pretty accurate) - Put one can of San Marzano tomatoes in a pan, add 6 Ts of butter, and one yellow onion, cut in half (peeled). I smush up the tomatoes with a potato masher (I think that is what the tool is - inherited from my husband's bachelor kitchen and this is the only thing I use it for). Bring to a boil, and then simmer on very low heat for about 40 minutes. Absolutely delicious.
You could chop up the tomatoes first, but I always end up with a mess when I do that on the cutting board (lots of juice), so I prefer my method. I also think, for reasons unknown, that the whole ones taste better than the ones already chopped in the can.
re: MMRuth
re: bakerboyz
Just so as not to lead you too far astray - I pulled out the book:
2 cups canned imported Italian tomatoes, cut up ,with their juices
5T butter (he he - I always thought it was 6)
1 Med. onion - peeled and cut in half
I forgot to mention the salt, and she says nothing about how much to put in - I 'd guess a teaspoon, maybe. This is for 1 to 1.5 pounds of pasta, she recommends gnocchi, and spaghetti, penne or rigatoni. Cook for 45 minutes. Serve with parmesan. You throw out the onion, by the way, but sometimes I can't help but nibble on pieces of it.

re: MMRuth
If you have not made this with fresh summer tomatoes, you are really missing something. I have never made her sauce (there are actually three different versions she gives in her book, each with slight variations in cooking time and ingredients) from canned tomatoes. I wait until I get a good batch of right-from-the-garden tomatoes and make at least two or three pots of sauce. Even my kids eagerly anticipate the arrival of the tomatoes, they love the sauce so much (all three variations). I strongly encourage you to give it a go this summer. You will need a food mill, but the effort is so well worth it!!!
Which Hazen cookbook is this from? Been meaning to get one of hers and this sounds like a good place to start. Can't wait to try this!
re: mohotta
re: mohotta
I have three of her books and use many of her recipes. I love her cookbooks; never tried this particular sauce, but I can imagine from the flavours they are quite mild. I too would use this for a layered grilled eggplant or zucchini parm. I will add fresh basil leaves in the layers.
I was planning to make eggplant and zucchini rolls stuffed with cheeses and was going to use this to top it off, but will stick to a chunky, more zesty sauce to balance out the mildness of the veg rolls.
re: mohotta
I love this sauce. The one we make is from her son's book (Guiliano, I think). We serve it on stuffed pasta with flat leaf parsley and parmasan sprinkled on top. The other one from that book is Arrabiata. We used to eat one or the other at least once a week (then we got fat...).
Sorry to be a detractor but I made this recipe this week and hated it. Based on the reviews I expected something much better.
re: paulgardner
re: MMRuth
re: paulgardner
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I followed the recipe to a T....butter and tomatoes...and thought it tasted just like...butter and tomatoes! I didn't use San Marzanos though so thought that might be why. But I think a can of Del Monte Stewed tomatoes is tastier! I had made a double batch because it sounded so good...but I doctored it up the next day with some ground veal, garlic and spices.
re: crosby_p
re: crosby_p
re: MMRuth
I made this last weekend also and I'm glad you're discussing the flavor here. I found also that at no stage did the flavor become more enhanced. I have a recipe of my own (for salsa) that changes with the addition of only 2 other ingredients so I was not skeptical that it would not be delicious. However, as someone else noted, it was bland and tomato sauce flavored like butter. My husband came by tasted it not knowing it was something new, and wondered when I was going to add the seasonings...So It is not to our liking, however after adding the spices, it turned out very nice, and the butter did contribute to it.
re: chef chicklet
I have to add my two cents to this, and agree with these other people, that I tried it, and did not like it. Way too bland for me, I like sauces spicier, even with a "kick" sometimes of pepper flakes, etc. In fact, after we tried this, we actually (gasp) threw the recipe away --
re: crosby_p
Adding my voice to the dissent. Paul had it right: "Tomatoes mashed up with butter". I actually thought it tasted like tinned tomato sauce! I tried the old put-it-in-the-fridge-to-marinate-and-reheat-it-tomorrow trick and that didn't enhance the flavour, either. And I served it with such lovely, home-made chicken tortellini...
I'm sticking to the real Italian-style tomato sauce - celery, onion, garlic, dried and fresh herbs, tinned tomatoes.
re: Gooseberry
re: Gooseberry
I'm not trying to be contrarian to the dissenting point of view, which I respect, but I wonder if the "tinned" flavor came from the canned tomatoes, which maybe gets masked from the addition of other ingredients. I'm not saying this is the be all and end all of pasta sauces - and am trying to tread lightly here - but when it's good, as others have said, I can eat it by the spoonful.
re: MMRuth
re: paulgardner
re: paulgardner
It can also be that your canned tomatoes were simply bland. Tomato quality varies, even within brands and seasons. Just like tomatoes from the garden: I can pick wonderful tomatoes one week and the next week they are blander.
That said, this tomato sauce is intended to be subtle, and not overshadow the pasta. The pasta is intended to be the star, the sauce is intended to be the chorus.
re: paulgardner
I didn't get all the hoopla at first either. I found it to be bland; however, it's quick, and DH loves it so after making a few times it grew on me. It's not meant to be one of those robust or garden fresh sauces, it is just meant to be comfort food. Most canned tomatoes work great but I think the trick is sticking close Marcella's instructions of cooking time, amount of heat and the fat liberating itself from the tomato. I think once I started to stick to her instructions the sauce became richer and less like tomatoes and butter. BTW the leftover onions are great on sandwiches.
All of those who didn't like it -- I'm wondering if you cooked it long enough? I found that you need to cook it at a slightly higher temperature than Marcella says, and for about 20 or so minutes longer. When I tasted it at her temp and time amount, I thought it kind of boring too, and those extra few minutes and higher temp made a huge change (and made me want to lick the pot that it cooked in). Also, I like to puree this sauce after it finishes cooking, it makes the texture better for me.
re: JasmineG
re: JasmineG
re: JasmineG
Yep I did. I thought something was suppose to happen to the sauce, so I did, I let it simmer for a lot longer than 45 minutes. I just imagine it's about preferred tastes is all. To us (my house) it tasted unfinished because we are used to an Italian marinara sauce that has basil, oregano, sugar, wine, minced onion, lots of garlic, salt & pepper a grated carrot, and red chili flakes. And then simmered on the stove for a few hours if not all morning. Then we add meat to it at times, like chicken wings for flavor, or meats. I don't know what I was expecting but, I think would be unfair that I try to compare the two, they are two different sauces.
re: chef chicklet
I think you've hit the nail on the head. My grandfather's "spaghetti sauce" was laden with herbs (dried) etc., and it was always heralded in our family as the sine qua non of spaghetti sauces, albeit at a time in my life when I had *no* idea that other pasta sauces existed. And his recipe is still delicious.
re: chef chicklet
I'm glad chef chicklet mentioned grated carrots. I've now been completely won over by Mario Bat's basic tomato sauce (in Molto Italiano) - just olive oil, diced onions, sliced garlic, fresh time, grated carrots and 2 large cans whole tomatoes. For some reason I loved this sauce so much (the subtle difference was pronounced - if that's possible) that I make it every time. It's spectac with sauteed Italian sausages. I think it's the grated carrots that make the difference, adding sugar as well as their other, carroty, taste.
re: oakjoan
My yes Exactly! I do agree, the Italian sausages really can knock it out of the park. I haven't seen Martio Bat's recipe, the carrot and chicken wings were from the Frugal Gourmet. I his vary his recipe a bit so I can now claim it as my own. Chicken wings ( I freeze the tips also to use) do something to the flavor of the sauce (take them out before serving) and enrich it beautifully, the carrot also is hard to explain, I just know that it will not be the same if I don't have it in there. A tad bit of sugar, (I learned from my New York Mother) and the wine.... because I can. Whole canned tomatoes cored and squished, and a little tomato paste. Sounds very similar!
Maybe the differences of opinion are based on what the sauce is served with. It may be bland on plain pasta and perfect on gnocchi, tortellini, or ravioli.
re: yayadave
re: Karl S
re: chef chicklet
A NONFAT version? So, boil an onion in a can of tomatoes and throw in some salt? I'll use my paycheck as toilet paper before I buy a cookbook with stuff like that passing for a recipe! My fault, I should have looked for the (IMO) on point criticisms of this disappointing recipe before buying the Emperor's New Clothes raves. I followed the original recipe with the 5T butter - what I got wouldn't even pass muster as tomato soup, much less sauce. I removed the onion, ground it up, and returned it to the pot. Thinking I'd do a faux chicken parmesan, I added garlic, basil, and a bnls/sknls chicken breast cut into cubes. Then I thought better of that, adding garam masala, curry powder, hing, chicken base, and cream cheese, for an ersatz chicken tikka masala. As a further afterthought, I added frozen mixed vegetables. 45 minutes later, I had something that actually tasted good. Should have stuck with my initial thought that Hazan's recipe would be a nonstarter for me, but she is so universally deified that I didn't trust my instincts.
re: greygarious
Look at the date of your post.
There's your problem.
I did this in August with some killer tomatoes and a great butter. Then I did it three more times until the good tomatoes ran out because it was fantastic. And it's not because Marcella wrote some brilliant recipe. It's simply because she knows that if you have fantastic ingredients, you leave them the f**k alone.
If you start with incredible tomatoes, this is one of the best possible ways to treat them. If you start with crap, it's going to taste like crap. End of story.
re: greygarious
And P.S., since I'm (inexplicably) still thinking about this half an hour later.
If you're going to chide an Italian cookbook writer for recipes that are too simple, all you're doing is demonstrating how little you know about Italian cuisine. The soul of the country's food is in simple preparations of pristine ingredients. Pick an Italian city, eat at 100 restaurants and see how many of them make tomato-based pasta sauces with more than five ingredients. Then come back and try this discussion again.
re: Dmnkly
The recipe (as linked to on CH) called for a can of quality plum tomatoes, and that is what I used. Surely, making a nonfat version of a recipe in which fat is the main flavoring agent is a fool's errand. I also acknowledged in my post that my initial reaction to the recipe was that it would not be that appealing to me - and clearly I am not the only one for whom this recipe is not a keeper. And yes, I have eaten at Italian restaurants in Italy, with fond memories of all.
re: greygarious
I have no idea where this notion of a non-fat version of the recipe comes from; it's not in any book I've seen. It's like having a recipe for a hamburger consisting of a bun, condiments, cheese and lettuce and tomato, but no beef.
The recipe is sublime when made with fresh San Marzano plum tomatoes, which have very little juice; other types of fresh tomatoes are not meaty enough and tend to result in blandness. As for non-fresh tomatoes, I would skipped canned tomatoes and go right for the POMI strained tomatoes (a product that did not exist, I suspect, when Marcella was adapting her recipe to Americans who want recipes using more canned than fresh tomatoes).
re: Karl S
I was responding to Chef Chicklet's mention, upthread, that Hazan has a nonfat version of this sauce. Looks like the other people who shared my disappointment with this recipe were also using canned tomatoes and apparently that is what Hazan called for in the recipe. I have only seen the recipe online; it is not presented as an alternative or adapted version. Assuming that those who assert that this dish demands peak-season fresh tomatoes are correct, I would fault Ms. Hazan for creating a recipe that is doomed to an inferior result.
re: greygarious
Hazan calls for fresh, but permits canned. When she wrote this, POMI was not available in the US. I suspect she would update the recipe to refer to POMI strained tomatoes, which are undoctored and about the closest thing to fresh you can get without being fresh: they still have more of the bright floral/fruity notes of fresh tomatoes than canned tomatoes do. This recipe is all about those notes, as accented by the juice of the onion and the subtlety of the butter. Again, as I wrote 2 years ago, this is not a recipe for people who expect boldness from tomato sauces.
I make this every summer with fresh San Marzanos and freeze it. In the midwinter, even after a few months of freezing, it has an incomparable whiff of summer that other tomato sauces do not. I've served this to myriad friends and acquaintances at potluck pasta dinners in midwinter at friends' homes, and the stuff is greedily loved - people are disappointed when I run out of my supply.
re: Karl S
Indeed, I make this sauce with Pomi. When i lived in italy, my italian friends made this sauce with passato, which is pureed strained tomatoes like Pomi.
This thread reminded me to make this sauce with some leftover pomi i had in the fridge tonight. It is incomparably delicious! Tossed with some perfectly al dente penne, it really is more than the sum of it's parts.
Those who don't care for it may have grown up with a more italian-american tradition of tomato sauces, which are based on long-cooked and boldly flavored sauces from the south. This certainly isn't that, so if that's what you are looking for, you will be disappointed.
re: greygarious
Unless I'm missing it, I don't see any links upthread. Where's the online recipe you're talking about?
In her book, the recipe does NOT call for canned tomatoes. It's a fresh tomato recipe for which Hazan says you could use good canned tomatoes. I'm of the opinion that it's a poor substitute that will, nonetheless, produce an edible if unexciting (and completely different) result. Provided, again, that you're using very good canned tomatoes.
What tomatoes did you use?
re: Dmnkly
re: MMRuth
I have made this with fresh and canned. I have tried a variety of Italian and American canned tomatoes. Some with better results than others. I often use a brand called LaValle which I manage to find quite cheap near my office.
The times I have made it with fresh tomatoes, it ended up being a very expensive recipe because of the cost of tomatoes can be quite high, especially this past summer where a tomato virus killed so many plants in the area.
My friends love this sauce ( 99% of the time with canned tomatoes) and are always asking for it. I often triple the recipe so there is some in the freezer.
re: MMRuth
re: Dmnkly
I did not say that there was a link upthreaad - I referred to the upthread mention that Hazan has a nonfat version of her recipe. I found the same recipe on multiple sites - canned plum tomatoes, butter, onion, salt - when I searched "hazan tomato sauce with butter". I used canned San Marzano; the can is gone with the recycling so I don't know the brand.
For those of you who don't like this sauce: Many of you seem to have only one tomato sauce in your quiver, i.e. marinara w/herbs, etc. I make 4 or 5 different Italian tomato sauces, depending on what I'm serving it with. The Hazan butter/tomato sauce is wonderful with delicate fishes and veggies. If you find the recipe too blah as written, try dropping a stick of butter into your favorite marinara -- you might like it.
re: pikawicca
re: pikawicca
no mam, I do have a few. Fresh tomato sauce being one of them. And another that includes sesame oil. Was only talking about the one we use most for everyday spaghetti. Like I mentioned. I did try it, but it was just tomato sauce with butter in it. And I had read earlier posts that recommended a stick of butter. I did that too, and I normally would not add butter to a tomato sauce. I was very hopeful. Guess I just didn't do something right if you think it should of been more flavorful..
re: pikawicca
I tend to change my sauce depending on its purpose, too - and what's in my fridge! I like to add a tablespoon of butter to the pasta before adding it to the tomato sauce (when doing a simple, smooth tomato sauce), and that's why I thought I'd like the Marcella version - more butter is good, right??? But I suppose the butter only enhances what is there, and for me, her version just doesn't have enough flavour.
I should also clarify - for me, the tinny taste is sharp, almost sour. And this is with imported Italian tinned tomatoes, which are delicious in all other preparations.
I'm going to jump back in here and reiterate my earlier post. Use fresh tomatoes! Out of a garden (not the grocery store). I've never made this with canned tomatoes; I can't figure out why you would, given that that's what it will taste like. With garden fresh tomatoes, however, you get a whole new flavor - fresh, sunny, and wonderful. This is, of course, assuming you LIKE garden fresh tomatoes, which my family does.
re: k_d
re: k_d
True, but Marcella recommends good-quality canned San Marzano tomatoes as a worthy substitute. If you live somewhere where fresh tomatoes from the store taste like crap in the winter (we don't buy them, but I know that people do) and/or you've used up your frozen/canned homemade sauce from the summer, I don't see why you can't use good canned ones.
I figure she knows what she's doing, and if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me!
It's also worth nothing that this recipe will be affected not only by how much you salt, but WHEN. Salt draws out the water in the tomatoes so that it cooks off faster and intensifies the flavor more. So if you don't salt it much or if you barely salt it when you start cooking, figuring you'll add the rest when you adjust later, the tomatoes will retain more of their water and the flavor won't be as intense.
Just a thought. I've been meaning to try this one for a while and just picked up a couple pounds of Speckled Romas at the farmers market this afternoon. Will report back :-)
re: Dmnkly
The amount of waters in the tomatoes also varies by season, even in commercial crops.
My San Marzanos this year (hello, the Northeast) have more water than the beauties of last year. So, when I made this sauce 2 days ago, I let the liquid pool in the simmering center and scooped out a half cup of liquid (moving the separated butter to the outer ring surface was pretty easy) to get the right consistency. You need some liquid to get the right acid notes. So you must use your senses to adjust this recipe to the tomatoes you actually have.
re: Karl S
My puree after running them through the food mill, too, was exceptionally watery. I just cooked it down a little longer -- perhaps an hour instead of 45.
In any case, this clearly lives or dies on the quality of the tomatoes. And I can't see doing it with canned. I both love and support good canned tomatoes, but not for this sauce.
Put me in the "this is freaking amazing" camp. One of the best tomato sauces I've made.
Wow. Just made this sauce (although not as a sauce, but as a soup) last night. Had read mentions of it on chowhound for awhile- including recs that it could be converted to a soup. Well, got a craving for grilled cheese and tomato soup. I usually just make Campbells with milk, but remembered this and decided to give it a try since it sounded so easy (making the basic recipe then adding milk to it to make the right consistency). Unfortunately, I forgot the canned tomatoes at the grocery! I went back out to the drugstore (closer) thinking I'd just give in and get campbells and then forgo the Hazan recipe for the night. As luck would have it, they didn't have Campbells tomato, but they did have stewed tomatoes, so I attempted the recipe after all. Have to confess I reduced the amount of butter the 4 Tbsp, but other than that, I pretty much followed the recipe as described here. Let it simmer for about 40 min to an hour, then added about one half cup milk and pureed the whole mix with a hand blender. After the mix was pretty smooth, I added it back to the pan and simmered the rest of the milk (about another cup and a half) until the whole thing was warmed through. It was honestly the most delicious tomato soup I've ever had. I could taste the richness of the butter, but it was cut nicely with the acidity of the tomatoes and evened out by the milk (I used 2%), and could even taste the sweetness of the onions as well. Simply amazing.
I'm a believer. Now ready to try the recipe as originally intended- with a can of San Marzanos (which I picked up today to keep as a pantry staple to make this sauce when necessary), as a pasta sauce. I do think it'd be best on a dish that calls for a simple dressing- especially with a complex ravioli. So glad I tried this, finally!
I like this recipe with canned San Marzano tomatoes. My opinion is that good canned San Marzano tomatoes have more flavor than most farmer's market tomatoes. I can't think of anything more tomato-y than the cans of San Marzano tomatoes I have in my cupboard. A lot of people are dissing the recipe for being boring. For some people, myself included, expanding your palate involves appreciation for simple flavors.
I have make this sauce every time I go to the produce stand and they have a box of overripe tomatoes[6-8# for 3 or 4 dollars]. I would never use canned and that may be why some have found it bland. The fresh tomatoes with butter and essence of onions is the best. I always triple it and like it plain or as a mother sauce for other dishes. I live in fl. and we have fresh tomatoes almost year round.
I grow my own Roma and San Marzano tomatoes. This is absolutely the best use of the canned (home made jarred) tomatoes. I am making this tonight for my mom. LOL....I am such a good son.
re: Owtahear
re: scubadoo97
re: foodieX2
I slice the onion up and add it back to the sauce.
The person who gave me this recipe years ago, not
mentioning it was Hazan's, adds the butter towards the
end of the 45 minutes. I'll have to try adding it at the
start and seeing how much of a difference it makes.
Love this sauce - why dont I make it more often?
It's so easy!

In 2005, Spectra Logic swept the Quality Award by winning every midrange category. But despite repeating as the overall winner, it couldn't repeat such a feat this time. Overland Storage topped the midrange field with a 5.63 for product features, barely edging out IBM's 5.62. Spectra Logic rated third with a 5.58 (see the "Product features" graph within "Rankings of midrange tape libraries"). Overland users thought most highly of its system interoperability, giving it a very high 6.33 for "This product is interoperable with other vendor's products." IBM users felt that interoperability was also its system's strength, although not quite as strongly (5.89). Spectra Logic was best rated for the statement "Overall, this product's features meet my needs" (5.77).
Because they're largely mechanical devices, some types of manual operations can play an important role in product selection.

The Tribune-Star
---- —
Lost football tradition a big disappointment
I've had a long-standing hope to play my last North/South game under the lights of Memorial Stadium. After such a long-standing tradition of lengthy, grueling but fair games on a neutral playing field, what will this year's change bring?
A smaller stadium, less parking, and less community support are just a few of the downsides I think this change will bring. After three years of watching my senior teammates take the field, my anticipation grew for the day that I will take the field at Memorial Stadium to play a game that is loved by more Americans than any other sport.
My anticipation was crushed due to the news of the Bell game not being played at Memorial Stadium. After three years of being a South Brave, I can honestly say that North and South are rivals, but they are not. They are friends that put on the pads because that's what we love. We play to win, but after that game is over, we are friends again.
I could never be convinced that concession sales will balance their loss in ticket sales. I believe a rise in ticket prices would be a much better solution than crushing a long-standing tradition. If for no other reason, it should stay at Memorial Stadium for this reason, both Terre Haute teams are out of the MIC and ready to pursue one of the best seasons out of any other team in the last 10 or more years.
Let us continue in tradition and pursue the best for all aspects, not just the budget.

Who cares what Paula Deen said?
Score one for the dream police.
The recent fiasco over Paula Deen and her apparent verbal faux-paux is just another example of just how far left this country is headed. This regime and the government-controlled media are pushing to control our every thought and movement.
When the media tries to destroy a person by what one might or might not have said, it is time to take a stand. Is there anyone among us that has regretted saying at one time in their lives something wrong?
And at the end of the day who cares what she said. The world will not collapse. The sun will still rise tomorrow.

Terre Haute
Concerned over Seelyville lawsuit
I am 85 years old and on a fixed income. I've heard about the lawsuit that Connie Hinsenkamp has against the town board of Seelyville and I am worried. If she wins this lawsuit what will that mean to my taxes in the future?
Taxes have already gone up because of the reassessment that was done and are too high now. I hope that the board is successful and wins. I can't understand how the treasurer can possibly claim she is due this amount of money.
— June M. Jeffers

Chain gangs - long a thing of the past in the Palmetto State - could make a resurgence in South Carolina if Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright gets his way.
Wright, an often vocal critic of the justice system, said Tuesday he's working with a state lawmaker to get a bill drafted that would reinstate the chain gang.
"I envision them not sitting around in the jails and getting fat on our dollar," Wright said Tuesday. "I envision them working six days a week, 12 hours a day and not being sentenced to 15 years at the taxpayers' expense."
Wright said he's working with S.C. Rep. Bill Chumley (R-Spartanburg) to research how much a statewide chain gang could save the taxpayers.
"If you really want to get the public's attention, tell them how much they'll save," Wright said.
The sheriff, who made national headlines after urging lawful women to carry concealed weapons, said chain gangs would do manual labor such as cutting highway grass, something the state spends millions on every year.
It'll pass through the legislature so long as "the tree huggers don't get in the way," Wright said.
Chain gangs were phased out in most of the country by the 1960s but made a brief resurgence in the mid-1990s during a time when politicians were championing to get tough on crime.
Alabama became the first state to reinstate chain gangs in 1995, but by the end of the decade scrutiny was mounting after a federal lawsuit questioning the program's legality was filed. A circuit court eventually found that Alabama's way of tying inmates to hitch posts violated the 8th Amendment, and the court ruled the program was cruel and unusual punishment.
A criminologist who works for USC Upstate in Spartanburg said the public will likely rally behind the idea of a chain gang, but she says the research proves the programs aren't effective.
"The studies have demonstrated that it doesn't have any rehabilitative effect for the inmates, and it actually brings some security risks to the public," said Dr. Reid Toth.
Like Toth, the S.C. Department of Corrections said Tuesday that if the S.C. General Assembly were reinstate the chain gang, there would be issues to examine such as expanding staff, security and armed supervision.
Wright says he doesn't want violent offenders being put on the chain gangs but rather people who commit lower-level crime, such as property offenses like larceny.
The state already has a prisoner work program where minimum-security inmates are farmed out to local counties where they perform light work, according to the S.C. DOC, but just a few hundred inmates are involved, and it's voluntary.
Wright's program wouldn't be voluntary and would employ thousands of convicted prisoners across the state.

THESIS: The Caste Paradox
- Thesis: The Caste Paradox
- Goal: Research and investigate caste based discrimination in India historically and presently be it facts, effects and consequences and communicate the same.
Audience: Americans, 20+
Media: Motion Graphics + Video + WebWebsite Link : casteparadox.saaniya.net/cs.htmlThesis Process Blog Link: saaniyas.tumblr.com
My thesis is a culmination of the explorations done in the 'Caste system' project. The challenge was to stitch together all the research and its visual output into one cohesive piece. It was also important to maintain a balance in the amount of information to be conveyed keeping in mind that the target audience may know nothing about the subject.The end result of the project is a user interface that integrates all the research into one piece. It has two parts. The first part is an animation that gives an overview of the caste system from past to present times.The second is a set of interviews of nine students of Indian origin from University of Oklahoma. Each represent different castes and give a little more detailed account of the contemporary existence of caste system in India. Since it was the present scenario I was concentrating on, it became a little imperative to consider the age group of 20-30.
For this project I had to don different hats- designer, writer, narrator, audio and video editor, animator, photographer and videographer.Now the main question is what should the audience take from it? This work will provide the viewers with a brief history of the paradox and how it continues to permeate and exist in present day society in India. Thus, caste system remains to be an innate part of the Indian culture and despite efforts to curb it, the people in India stay bound to it in some way or the other.

Rocky Mtn News aims but misses on DEM vs GOP GOTV operations
by MetaData, Sat Oct 28, 2006 at 09:10:21 AM EDT
Today's Rocky Mountain News (Oct 28, 2006) has an interesting article by journalist Chris Barge GOP Voting Machine Keeps Dems on Toes, about the Colroado Republican GOTV operation and its use of datamining, microtargetting and sophisticated calling operations. The thrust of the article was how the GOP has a better operation than the Dems.
The article is not bad as far as it goes, but (as usual), the reporter misses some important context by not doing more research. If I may point Chris Barge toward some additional details, his next article might be better.
D-R Technoloy Gap Decreasing
The Dems have in fact realized the importance of computer systems, datamining and microtargetting are for their field operations. Yes, we are coming from behind, but let's look at our own advantages.
(1) Under Howard Dean, the DNC is putting together a big computer system capable of sophisticated microtargetting, mailing list generation and GOTV.
(2) A competing big database is pushed by Harold Ickes (advisor to Hillary Clinton) and George Soros.
(3) MoveOn.org is another non-party but supportive organization which has already invested substantially in database technology, and has installed very sophisticated, web-enabled calling software that allows for centralized or distributed GOTV efforts.
(4) Here in Colorado the new "VAN" system is already in use by democratic GOTV and field operations. The system is very full-featured, and includes detailed tracking of all kinds of useful (or not) data like comments, horoscope, and likely ethnicity of the voters last name.
(5) Blogs, DailyKos, ActBlue, Wiki. Who needs Fox News, daily newspapers or a fancy database when you have millions of people posting information about campaigns, contributing money and getting their news and GOTV from the Internet.

In a thrilling Week Two victory, the Eagles won a second straight nail-biter to run their record to 2-0. It is the first time since 2004 that the Eagles have won their first two games and only the third time in Andy Reid's tenure they have done so.
This was one of the most important Eagles victories in recent memory. Other than the obvious—washing the taste of an ugly game in Cleveland out of their mouths while striving to stay atop the NFC East—the Eagles saw the Ravens as a test of their toughness.
Test it the Ravens did, and to their dismay, found the Eagle is the tougher bird after all. The Ravens were sent flying back down I-95 with a broken wing and crooked beak, courtesy of a physical Eagles team.
The game was marred by scrums and cheap shots that sometime escalated into near-brawls, as the replacement officials floundered around incompetently. The Eagles took every shot the Ravens had and gave it back and more. By the end of this heavyweight fight—the very end—the Eagles were the team left standing.
Defense Remains a Strength
Pressed again to compensate for FOUR turnovers, the Eagles defense showed it may be progressing into becoming a shutdown unit. It's not there yet, but this year's defense is already light years ahead of the 2011 defense, making big plays to prevent offensive turnovers from derailing games early and sealing games in the clutch.
All the confusion and unevenness fans saw on the 2011 defense has been reduced, if not eliminated. Juan Castillo should be given a lot of credit for that. But more than Castillo's growth, the Eagles' dramatic improvement on defense is the result of an infusion of some formidable talent.
There was a lot of angst when MLB Demeco Ryans did not show much in the preseason. He was excellent in Week One and even better Sunday.
Ryans had six tackles and was the biggest playmaker on defense. His sack and interception of Ravens QB Joe Flacco were both huge second-half plays. Add Mychal Kendricks strong play and Eagles fans have a LB corps the likes of which they have not seen in years.
The secondary also has improved dramatically. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (DRC) is an even better outside corner than Asante Samuel was and the chemistry is exponentially better without 'Zant in the locker room. Both Kurt Coleman and Nate Allen have played well, although the lack of depth at the safety position is still a concern for the unit. Ironically, the only weak link has been Nnamdi Asomughua, who got burned for two more TDs yesterday; fortunately, one was called back by a penalty.
The Eagles defensive line also played well. They put consistent pressure on Flacco, but they must record more than the two sacks a game they have managed thus far. Trent Cole forced a fumble by sacking Flacco in the first quarter that the Eagles recovered, partly erasing Vick's first interception on the preceding drive. Rookie Fletcher Cox played very well, notching five tackles.
Encouragingly, the defense was able to seal a victory after the Eagles took the lead within the final two minutes of the game. Neither Cleveland nor Baltimore gained even one first down on their final drives—a far cry from the defense that surrendered five fourth-quarter leads last year.
Offense Still a Work in Progress
The Eagles play-calling was much more balanced this week, with 41 rushes and 32 passes. The offense was dynamic, productive, exciting—and error-prone, committing four more turnovers in its home opener. Vick threw a horrendous endzone interception to kill a promising opening drive (and another later that wasn't his fault, off the hands of Brent Celek, one of the few miscues the big TE made Sunday). Add in two RB fumbles—one in the Red Zone—and the offensive turnovers in this young season tally nine.
The Eagles squandered at least six (and probably ten or fourteen) points with the two Red Zone turnovers, not to mention the other two. The defense has withstood the constant pressure admirably; however, the Eagles should have won this game by two touchdowns. No NFL team can virtually surrender fourteen points due to turnovers and keep surviving. Doing so means outplaying the other team by more than two TDs, and in this league of parity, no team can continually do that.
As it is unlikely that Michael Vick will ever eliminate the turnovers from his game, the Eagles cannot afford to have their RBs fumble the ball. And even if he doesn't eliminate the turnoves from his game, Vick MUST limit them, or it will again be the downfall of this team. His decision-making was much better Sunday; he hung in the pocket and went through his reads, ran when he had to and made plays. As maddening as his shortcomings are, fans have to admire Vick's ability to engineer fourth-quarter comeback wins. It has been more than a decade since the Eagles have had a QB who could do that.
Lesean McCoy gained 81 tough yards and the Eagles mixed in a couple other ball-carriers, which is a necessity. Desean Jackson battled through an injury to tally 114 yards on seven catches and an injured Jeremy Maclin caught a TD pass for the second straight week.
The receiving star on Sunday was TE Brent Celek. He caught eight passes for 156 yards, bulled over defenders, hurdled Ed Reed and cemented his reputation as a fan favorite with an emphatic first-down signal after taking a huge hit and hanging on to the ball.
On the final drive, the Eagles went eighty yards on ten plays in 2:48, with Vick scoring the game-winner on a one yard QB keeper.
Enjoy the Win, but Don't Look Past the Cardinals
This win was cause for jubilation because the Eagles took on a physical team, outmuscled and out-gutted them for a thrilling victory. Michael Vick was mostly great, but no amount of great play can outweigh that many turnovers in the long run. Still, Vick won his sixth straight start.
The Eagles outgained the Ravens 486 to 325, bested them in first downs, 26-17, and had almost ten more minutes in time of possession. Although it was incredibly exciting, they should have won by more than a single point… again.
The Eagles are a talented team and so far they have managed to win games this year they would have lost last year. It cannot be said enough that they have to cut down the turnovers or will eventually be their undoing; simple as that.
This week's Eagles trip to the desert is fraught with danger. Not from scorpions and such, but from turnover on the road. Should they fail to reduce them, they could revisit the ugly loss they suffered last year to these same Cardinals, who have won nine of their last eleven games. If they do limit the turnovers, they will enjoy a 3-0 start to 2012.
- The replacement officials were horrendous Sunday. Their inability to spot the ball caused the game to take three-and-a-half-hours to play. They made a number of terrible calls and non-calls on both sides. This happened across the league.
- Of the other NFC East teams, only the Giants won Sunday, making the Eagles the only 2-0 team in the division.

Local author Lottie Hufford will be conducting a book signing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at The Garden Gate in Gore.
Hufford has written two books. She and her husband, Dr. Stan Hufford, a chiropractor, gave away 1,000 copies of her first book, "Lottie's Reflections," to help others.
Her new book, "God's Talking Child Rocks," aims to help children relate experiences that happened to them, through rocks, and to have the rocks identify some of their emotions.
"This unique book would be a very good addition to the various settings where young children are found visiting or playing, such as libraries, doctor's or counselor's offices, homes, etc.," Dr. Sue Williams, a professor in family and child development at Texas State University, said in a media release. "This collection of stories based on the use of rocks, an object children are familiar with and value, is an excellent way to convey to them a message of understanding, acceptance, and love."
Hufford is working on another children's book.
She will also be showing her oil paintings and selling her books at Arts on the Avenue on June 7-8 in Tahlequah.
Dining is available at Emily's Tea Room inside the Garden Gate.
Information: (918) 489-2680.

Just before Christmas, and ever so quietly, the Federal Trade Commission released a review [PDF] of corporate food marketing to kids. The FTC hasn't examined this kind of data since 2006, so this was its chance to check up on the processed food and beverage industry's much-ballyhooed self-regulation of food advertising aimed at young kids and teens. The data for the new report is from 2009. The upshot? Food marketing to kids totaled $1.79 billion and went down a skosh from 2006 levels.
Does this mean corporate self-regulation is working? Not at all. First off, in 2009 this country was in the teeth of the Great Recession, so all marketing spending was down. The good intentions of food companies may have had little to do with the drop. But what's more interesting is the fact that food companies shifted spending away from television advertising and toward online and social media spending.
Food companies spent 19.5 percent less on television ads and 60 percent more online between 2006 and 2009. Because TV ads are so expensive, reducing them explains most of the overall drop in spending. But that doesn't mean ads weren't being seen; companies also get significant bang for the buck when they invest in online marketing -- and they spent $122 million online in 2009. One can only imagine what that number looked like in 2012.

Lovely Cannes type hotel A review of Oceana Beach Club Hotel
I visit Santa Monica often and always wind up switching hotels to stay here when I try a new hotel. The notion of a viable suite where you can cook in and eat in occasionally, is well understood here and the appointments are bright and very French...the colors are great and the Inn is stylish. It is no more than 1/4 miles to the pier and has wonderful access to the ocean promenade. The linens have always been perfect. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating. It is like coming home to stay here. Yes, the pool is small but for what you get, so is the price for the area. You can park on the street easily and save the valet price too. My only honest gripe is the noise from the floor above.. esp if they have kids..stay on the top floor if you can, and get an ocean view. The pool view rooms are a bit dark. Still, to me, this is a great place for longer stays and total comfort...and very lovely too. As a seasoned traveler, you can't beat this for Santa Monica.

3-year-old Liam McCall of Charlotte, N.C., is not missing, thanks to quick action by his mom, Camilla McCall, WBTV reported. In a jarring coincidence, the same is true in the unrelated case of a 2-year-old girl from San Jose, Calif., according to KCBS.
Liam was riding a bike in a park with mom trotting some distance behind when a would-be kidnapper snatched the boy off the bike right before mom's eyes, the Examiner explained. That's when Camilla McCall sprang into action, grabbing her boy and holding tight. She managed to wrestle the man to the ground.
The kidnapping suspect got away but has been identified through a receipt with a fast food meal box he dropped while fleeing. He's been identified as 41-year-old Jerry White, a man who's been arrested 103 times, primarily for non-violent crimes.
While a stranger attempting kidnapping in the mother's presence is uncommon, it's not unheard of. The same week Camilla McCall saved her son from a kidnapper on the east coast, a mom on the west coast had a similar experience. In that case, a mother in East San Jose reported to police a man approaching her yard Tuesday and making a comment about her 2-year-old girl, KCBS reported. The woman, whose name has not been released, told police she felt uncomfortable and picked up her daughter. It was then that the would-be kidnapper tried to grab the little girl out of her mother's arms.
While two such incidents in a week is unnerving, stranger abduction is exceedingly rare. Of the 12,000 annual non-family abductions, 37 percent occur at the hands of strangers, the Child Safety for Parents blog notes. That's .05 percent of all child abduction cases.
Stranger abductions occur primarily in outdoor locations with the targets more likely to be female, the Klaas Foundation says. The typical targets are teenagers and school-age children, not babies and preschoolers.
In the cases this week, moms' instincts kicked in to save preschool-age children from potential strangers intent on kidnapping. But sometimes it's a stranger who saves the day. That was the case in 2011 when Antonio Diaz Chacon just happened to be in the right place at the right time. After borrowing his in-laws' washer and dryer, the Associated Press said, he was loading laundry into his car when one of the neighbors screamed as a man snatched a young girl and drove away. He chased down the kidnapper, who crashed his van into a pole and ran, giving Chacon the opportunity to rescue the girl.

Soft Cookies are one of my favorite things. We buy some called Strawberry Filled Soft Cookies. And they are delicious.
They also come in raspberry. Besides their great taste, the price is pretty good…. 99cents for a small box of 9 cookies. You can find them at Kay's Bestway and Houchens. A cup of coffee or a glass of milk with these cookies make these "favorite things" taste even better!
Gary Smalley's book "Love is a Verb" has something for everyone. The book is full of stories of "what happens when love comes alive." These are true stories from everyday people like you and me and like…. Doris, who chose to love her husband when what she really wanted to do was run away.
Like Loretta, whose family was mended by love in action. Like Kevin who found out what sacrifice for another person isn't… as well as what it is. Like Jacquelyn, who found the courage to love someone who seemed truly unlovable. All these true stories are good and provide a lot of insight into human relationships.
Love is a verb. It's action. It's "doing". We should know that because many of us had "The Love Chapter" read at our weddings. Some of us had it read twice! ( We married the second time.) I'm speaking of 1Corinthians, chapter 13, in the Bible.
The problem is, we don't truly hear the words and we certainly don't "do" the words. Verse four begins with "Love is patient, love is kind." IF we put only those two statements into practice, we could change our marriages ( and other relationships) dramatically for the better.
But we don't. We think the other person should be patient and kind and when they show patience and kindness to us, then we'll respond with patience and kindness to them. They don't do it. We don't do it. It doesn't happen. It's called pride.
As long as we hold onto our pride and refuse to "do" love, our marriages and our relationships with others are not going to get better. I know. Been there, done that, too many times.
Most people give up on love too fast. Walking away from relationships doesn't provide the hoped for relief, bring solutions or simplify life. Instead more problems pile on through the lingering resentment and finger-pointing.
IF love is going to last for the long haul, it has to be more than "that lovin' feelin'". It has to be something we "do".
We have to demonstrate it concretely in our marriages, our family, among our friends and acquaintances. And yes, even among our enemies! (Now that's a doozey!)
We can learn to take the obstacles, the "lemons" we face, in life and turn them into the satisfying, the positive, into sweet tasting lemonade.
It can be done and the stories in this book, give 40 excellent examples to encourage us to do so.
Several years ago, I finally realized I wasn't a very kind or patient person to live with. I decided it was time for me to "do" something about it. I needed to change. I got my Bible out and copied verses four through seven of 1 Corinthians down on a piece of paper and put the paper on the refrigerator door where I could see it daily.
It took me awhile. I'm a slow learner with a lot of pride. ( And I'm not proud of that.) Verse eight gave me hope and encouragement to "do" love. Verse eight says " Love never fails." And that's absolutely true, love never fails.
Abortion is big business. In a recent column I shared prices of abortions at a clinic in Louisville. What I've never thought about was other businesses that would be involved with abortion. One of them is the disposal of the "waste" that results from an abortion.
Now, "waste" is a nice word for aborted babies. Something has to be done with this "waste" so there are companies that specialize in collecting medical wastes from hospitals and other medical facilities. They also collect aborted babies from abortion clinics.
Recently, Crosstalk Radio aired a program with Michael Marcavage, CSS(Campaign to Stop Stericycle) Director, about the huge medical waste disposal company Stericycle and its collaboration with the abortion industry. Stericycle's primary means of servicing the abortion industry is through the use of trucks that are leased from national truck leasing companies. These trucks are used to collect the "waste" from abortion mills, then transport "it" and incinerate "it".
Campaign to Stop Stericycle (CSS) is urging immediate calls to the following companies, imploring them to stop allowing their vehicles to be used by Stericycle for the purpose of collecting "waste" from abortion mills.Ryder System, Inc- 305/500-3726. Idealease, Inc-847/304-6000. Aim NationalLease- 300/759-0438. PAC Lease-425/428-7877. Calls can also be made to Mark C Miller, President of Stericycle. Call his desk at 847/607-2088 or e-mail: email@example.com
If you are pro-life and if you own mutual funds, you might want to check and see if Stericycle is one of the companies in your portfolio. It's listed on the stock market as SRCL.
In closing, here's some food for thought… "Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem." Spoken by President Ronald Reagan, who would have been 100 years Feburary 6th.
Thanks again for reading my column. Till next week.

The case of two Deerfield teenagers accused of invading a Highland Park home in August and appeared on the verge of settling earlier this month became more complex today in Lake County Criminal Court in Waukegan.
Assistant Lake County State's Attorney Steve Sheller told Judge Daniel Shanes he was adding a claim of unlawful possession of marijuana, a Class 4 Felony, to the existing 10 counts of the indictment against Joshua Norris and Joseph Mahoney, both 18, of Deerfield.
Earlier: Judge Suggests Probation Possible in Teen Burglary Case
Earlier this month, Shanes admonished Mahoney and Norris to make good decisions while they were free on bail because probation was an option in any sentence or plea negotiation that might take place. At that time, attorneys for the defendants suggested the case might end today.
When Sheller told the court of the additional charge, the timing changed. Shanes continued the case until June 11 for a pretrial and set a trial date of July 8. "If I set it then I want you to reach a settlement or we're going to have a trial," he said.
The possession count stems from the original investigation following the home invasion in August and has nothing to do with anything Norris or Mahoney have done since then, according to Sheller. He said it was the reason for the delay.
"They need time to look at the new charge," Sheller said of the defense attorneys' reasons for wanting more time. "I just gave it to them and have to get them the information. They've never seen it before."
Shanes again told Mahoney and Norris their behavior and decision making in the next few months will weigh heavily in any decision he makes in the ultimate resolution of the case.
"One of the things I look at are the choices you have made, the choices you made in the first place and the ones you will have made while you're out on bond." Shanes said. "Make sure that you make good ones."
One of the residents of the Highland Park home Norris and Mahoney were charged with invading, .
At that time Mahoney attorney Chris Cronson suggested there was a relationship between three men. "It came out at the bond hearing (for Norris and Mahoney) that he (Lynn) was a previous source of supply for marijuana," Cronson said in August. "They weren't just throwing darts at a dart board."

By Edie Schmierbach
---- — LEWISVILLE — When a state trooper handed that ticket to Thomas Flitter of Lewisville in February 2010, his attitude was, well, less than grateful.
"I was really mad," Flitter said. The day already had been stressful, he was pulled over on his way home from a series of medical tests. And the seat-belt ticket — it wasn't his first.
Last winter, Flitter had an attitude adjustment after a two-vehicle accident in Watonwan County. He was very happy to see a trooper arrive at the scene and help unhook him from the seat-belt that suspended him within his rolled pickup.
Minnesota State Patrol trooper Casey Kester first checked Flitter's injuries and determined they weren't critical, then went to help the woman who was driving other vehicle. Her injuries weren't serious.
Kester, recently presented Flitter a "Saved by the Belt Award" at his residence in Lewisville, where he continues to recover from injuries suffered in the Feb. 10 collision.
Flitter greeted Kester warmly and the two men posed together as another trooper snapped a photo.
Then they just hung out for a while "shooting the bull" Kester said.
Flitter asked the visiting troopers if he could look at a picture of the accident scene.
"I am positive I would not have survived — the gal would not have either, but she was wearing her seat belt," Flitter said this week, remembering the head-on collision about two miles north of Lewisville on Highway 15. He said he cringes when he thinks back to that Sunday evening.
Both vehicles were going about 55 mph. The road was wet. Then he saw a Ford Taurus in his lane, coming straight at him. The front side of his truck was struck by the automobile whose driver was impaired by alcohol.
"I ended up in the ditch with the pickup on its side," Flitter said.
"It's an eye-opener," he said. "You are doing everything right, just riding along and then something happens."
Flitter took about six weeks before he felt like getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. He continues physical therapy for his injured leg, which was operated on about two weeks ago.
Flitter's now an advocate for seat-belt safety. He makes sure anyone who's with him buckles up. Flitter doesn't have to remind his wife, Devota, though, she was a regular seat-belt wearer long before his change in attitude.
Saved by the Belt award recipient stories, including Flitter's, will be shared later this month at the south-central Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths regional workshop May 20 in Mankato.
Crash survivor Cindy Hagen of Mankato will tell her story during local law enforcement's May Mobilization Seat Belt Enforcement kickoff event 10:30 a.m. today at North Mankato Fire Station 2. The promotion is a reminder to motorists and passengers to buckle up, as extra Click It or Ticket patrols take to the road May 20 through June 2. In the past three years, there were 864 traffic deaths on Minnesota roads of which 352 (41 percent) of the victims were not buckled up. Of those 352 fatalities, 41 percent were motorists ages 16-29, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

Westmont loses close match in PIAA playoff
ALTOONA – District 3 runner-up Berks Catholic won all three singles contests and edged District 6 winner Westmont Hilltop 3-2 in the PIAA Class AA first round on Tuesday at Summit Tennis Club.
In singles action, Berks Catholic's Lin Robertson, one of the top players in the state, won 6-0, 6-0 over Beth Carney. Berks Catholic's Andi Eways defeated Ellie Kane 6-3, 7-5. In the third singles, Lauren Firely defeated Lauren Fregly of Westmont in a back-and-forth 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) battle.
The Hilltoppers won both doubles contests as Nicole Barnhart and Corrine Claycomb posted a 6-3, 6-1 tally over Megan Antosy and Mary Kate Gregar. Westmont's Ashley Kush and Lauren Criswell defeated Meg Lilley and Carolyn Hassinger 6-2, 6-3.
Windber closes 18-win season
ALTOONA – Sewickley Academy ended Windber's season , 5-0, in the PIAA Tournament Class AA first round match up at Summit Tennis Club in Altoona.
The Ramblers closed an 18-3 season.
"I am a very lucky coach to have the opportunity to work with this group of girls this year," Windber coach Joe Podrebarac said. "It is nice to have players that continue to learn and want to learn more as the season progresses. I will miss the four seniors (Cate McClain, Logan Tantorno, Emily Fitzgerald, and Amber Garbinski) that are leaving the team. It has been a fun time working with these girls over their time with me.
"Cate McClain is a four-year starter and played a second season as the team's No. 1 singles player," he added. "Logan Tantorno has been a stable person throughout our doubles teams over the past three seasons producing amazing numbers in the wins column. Emily and Amber were able to fill a hole on the team left by two seniors from last year. They were constantly put into situations where they had to win so that the team got a win, and they were always able to rise to the challenge."
Sewickley won the singles matches as Samantha Gohh defeated McClain 6-1, 6-0; Sydney Miggantz defeated Cassie Wentz 6-0, 6-1; and Lauren Ritz defeated Abby Hanley 6-0, 6-1.
In doubles, Jappman Manga and Amy Cheng of Sewickley defeated Tantorno and Hollie Chappie 6-0, 6-1; and Sydney Joseph and Riley Roberts beat Fitzgerald and Garbinski 6-1, 6-1.
"The younger players on the team are already looking forward to playing in the off seasons and toward next season," Podrebarac said. "Cassie Wentz produced an impressive 23 wins at No. 2 singles this year with only two losses. Abby Hanley and Holly Chappie are both 10th graders and were a part of the District winning team both years of their young careers. They are continuing to improve daily and both could easily hold the title of most improved player. There are other young players looking forward to their opportunities to live up to the high standards set forth by their elders on the team and the great tradition of being a Windber Rambler Girls Tennis player."

A specialty of Verona, Bollito Misto
While in Verona this past week, I had a traditional Bollito Misto.
It consisted of Beef shoulder, beef tongue, rolled boneless Veal Breast, cow udder, beef head and cheek meat, Pork head meat, beef tendon and nerve Pork foot, Pork Cotechino, and pork ham. All served with four sauces green herb, fresh vinegar onion, horseradish, mostarda and course salt. It is accompanied by a thick potato based soup, also used as a warm sauce.
Sorry for the tardy reply, have not been on CH recently.
The restaurant in Verona is La Greppia, and its specialty is Bollito Misto, it is a very spartan, yet comfortable large dining room, the staff is very accomodating and proud of the dishes that the kitchen prepares.
We were in Greppia last week and a local couple next to us was having this meal. We had no idea what it was so they offered to share some of the dark sauce. To me it was very similar to a southern gravy flavor. Their son explained to us that this was a traditional dish but he was not a big fan although his parents loved it. Our friend had a Bolognese there that he claimed to be the best he has ever had. I tried the pumpkin risotto but somehow the order got mixed up and I think they were in a rush remaking it so it seemed to be slightly undercooked. Regardless it has a quaint outdoor seating area and we enjoyed being introduced to this local dish.
