Deborah Madison's Roasted Squash, Pear, and Ginger Soup
Epicurious | March 2009
Vegetable Soups from Deborah Madison's Kitchen
photo by Cookbook cover image courtesy of Random House
yield: makes about 4 1/2 cups
- One 2 1/2-pound Buttercup, Perfection, or other dense winter squash, rinsed
- 3 ripe but firm pears, any variety, quartered, seeds and stems removed
- 1 chunk fresh ginger, about 2 inches long, thinly sliced
- Sunflower seed or olive oil for the squash
- Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons butter or sunflower seed oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream, optional
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the squash in half, scrape out the seeds, then cut each half into thirds. Put the pieces in a large baking dish or roasting pan with the pears and all but a few slices of the ginger. Brush with oil, season with salt, and bake until fragrant and tender, about 1 hour. Turn the pieces once or twice so that they have a chance to caramelize on more than one surface. If the squash seems very dry (some varieties are), add 1 cup water to the pan to create steam and cover with foil. When the squash is tender, transfer everything from the pan to a cutting board, add 1 cup water to the pan, and scrape to dissolve the juices, reserving the liquid. Scrape the flesh of the squash away from the skins. You should have about 2 cups.
2. To make a stock, bring 6 cups water to a boil and add the seeds and, eventually,the squash skins, the remaining ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a soup pot. Add the onion, give it a stir, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown a bit and is fragrant, about 10 minutes. Add the pears, ginger, and squash, then the reserved deglazing water. Strain the stock into the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. Cool briefly, then puree until smooth and pass through a food mill or strainer to ensure a silky texture. Serve as is or swirl in the crème fraîche.

NEXT BROADWAY STAR SEMIFINALIST: Mario Bueno
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011"Forget You" by Cee Lo Green
Mario worked the space and the crowd like no other contestant in the quarterfinals. His growth in this competition is something everybody has noted including the judges. He went from the bottom two in the kick-off to the top three in the quarterfinals. We wish him all the best in the semifinals.
Mario is a New York City native whose passion lies with entertainment. He has "an intensity on par with the bright lights and big sounds of the city he was born and raised in."
Born to a Colombian father doctor and a Puerto Rican mother, Mario was raised in a setting that encouraged his love of the arts despite his late father's original desire for him to pursue a career in the sciences. His private schooling at the Saint David's School in New York City served to further motivate him to work hard towards a career in entertainment.
Over the years, Mario has been heavily involved with theater and he spent his high school years taking classes, scriptwriting, and doing open mics to further his skills. By the time he reached college, he decided that his goal to pursue entertainment would be best served by a complete immersion in the craft. He subsequently left college and started focusing on developing projects to cultivate new skills and start his resume building.
Mario soon became a Brand Ambassador at the Samsung Experience in New York's Time Warner Center in midtown Manhattan for three years. He also won the AX Idol singing challenge in 2010. Currently, he is spending his days pursuing his goal to be an entertainment professional, and hopes that his recent experiences coupled with involvement in the competition will guide him towards living the life he's always worked towards…
…A life devoted to entertainment.
Highlights include: "Final Fantasy vs Kaiju Big Battel" (2005; fan film), Anime News Network (2007-2008; news webisodes), "Doujinopolis" (2009; web series), AX Idol Singing Winner (2010), numerous promotional spots for FUNimation Entertainment and Aniplex of America. (2009-current)

Gary Cahill
FURIOUS Gary Cahill last night lashed out at Corinthians star Emerson for play-acting to get him sent off.
Cahill saw red in the 90th minute as Chelsea lost the Club World Cup Final to the Brazil giants, following a 69th-minute goal from Paolo Guerrero.
The centre-back aimed a gentle kick at Emerson who was born in Brazil, but plays for Qatar after his
opponent struck his face as they tussled for a ball.
And Emerson reacted by falling to the floor grasping his face even though he had only been tapped on his leg.
I tackled him, we tangled up, he lashed out with his arm and hit me in the face, said Cahill, who misses the Capital One Cup clash at Leeds on Wednesday due to the dismissal.
It wouldnt have been enough to knock over my one-year-old daughter. Im still angry. It was out of order but I reacted in a bad way.
Theres two different stories. Someones smashed me in the face but I didnt roll around on the floor for five minutes
holding my head.
I got up, reacted and tapped him in the shin. He felt the need to go down, roll around on the floor for about fi ve times holding his face. I suppose thats the story of the game.
Im disappointed in myself for my reaction, but also because its OK for someone to lash out at you but you do
something back and its deemed a red card.
It probably is a red card but the reaction of the guy is totally out of order.
Prior to kick-off, it was stated on Twitter Chelseas Brazil ace Oscar had told reporters from his country that boss Rafa Benitez had been crazy to leave him on the bench.
But Benitez insisted it was wrong to take the claims seriously.
Normally, with Twitter, Facebook, websites and bloggers, I dont trust too many people, he said.
Any player not playing has to be disappointed, but thats it.
Skipper Frank Lampard, making his first start for seven weeks, admitted yesterdays game had been set up for
another comeback when Chelsea came back from a goal down to level and then beat Bayern Munich on penalties to win the Champions League.
There were a few echoes of Munich but sadly it didnt end the same, he said.

Loan can have several meanings, it can mean to borrow an item; for example – "Bob loaned me his guitar". In financial terms, a loan is a redistribution of assets in a given time period with a specific set of terms and conditions. In a formal loan setting, the loan process will include an application — generally a credit check with existing credit bureaus to determine the applicant's prior payment record. Generally there is a fixed or an adjustable rate of interest. In the case of real estate property the loan is called a mortgage, and is secured with the real estate property as collateral. When securing a second mortgage or asking to change the terms, then a mortgage refinance is required.

The great masses of the people … will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.
—Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
This is a book about lies, not truth. When someone lies, he or she corrupts the Truth. That's not necessarily a bad thing if it's done for the right reasons, such as sparing someone's feelings or achieving a higher moral purpose, although it's sometimes tricky making the call. For instance, in John Ford's 1962 Western, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, a reporter is asked to bury a story because printing it would damage the reputation of a hero, and America needs its heroes. "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." This line, written by Willis Goldbeck and James Warner Bellah, has been frequently quoted to justify political "spin."
But what if a lie is told for the wrong reason? As political activist Noam Chomsky has pointed out, "The right to lie in the service of power is guarded with considerable vigor and passion." The question then becomes, Whose power? Is it for "good" or "evil"? Who decides? Now define your terms.
Philosophers (and sometimes juries) make a distinction between conscious and unconscious lying. Conscious lying is sometimes obvious, frequently immoral, and—when it is used to defraud—usually illegal. Unconscious lying can be determined only in hindsight—that is, after the Truth becomes known—and it is seldom punishable, although it may be embarrassing ("Golly, I didn't know that was a toupee!"). It is also what makes this book possible, because it is unconscious lying that gives rise to rumor, myth, urban legend, and folklore—in other words, that uniquely human recreation known as gossip.
What Are These?
Throughout this book you'll see items called "reality checks." They will point out lapses of logic, corrections of fact, additional comments on nearby topics, or just stories that seemed like a good idea at the time.
Gossip is the lie that contains its own disclaimer; nobody really accepts it, but everybody wants it to be true. People couch their skepticism by saying, "I don't believe this, but …"or "Someone just told me that …" It's like saying, "This joke is offensive, but it's so funny I'm gonna tell it anyway."
When journalists print gossip, they tag it with the word reportedly, as in "The XYZ company reportedly admitted that one of its products is faulty." Check it out. The dictionary defines reportedly as "according to a report." In other words, reportedly is the journalistic equivalent of "Trust me."
Word History: Gossip
The word gossip is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words God and sib, referring to a close friend or protector, such as a godfather or godmother. Gradually it was familiarized to gossip. By Elizabethan times, gossip had lost its religious significance, thereafter referring to someone who was known to enjoy a good time.
"Trust" is conditional. We trust facts but believe rumors. Maybe it's because facts are provable, but rumors come to us through someone we … er … trust. Before the invention of writing, human culture was transmitted by oral tradition. The veracity of the information depended entirely upon the credibility of the person imparting it. If Ugg the Caveman was known to exaggerate how many wildebeests he slew during the hunt, why should the tribe believe his account of a strange, flickering red-orange substance that lit up the cave and hurt when you put your hand in it? But if Gronk, who was never off on his wildebeest count, said he saw something called "fire," everybody believed him. Thereby did Gronk become the king, while Ugg went on to start the National Enquirer. A modern corollary is, If space aliens are so smart, how come they always show themselves to the people who are least likely to be believed?
The answer is that human beings are, by nature, curious. We are drawn to (1) money, (2) sex, (3) shiny objects, and (4) juicy stories, and if number 4 contains some combination of the other three, so much the better. What separates us from the beasts is that we are supposed to be able to tell what's true from what's false, or at least what's right from what's wrong, and, what's more, to care which is which.
In the end, it comes down to morality, and morality is usually a function of Faith. Not necessarily religious faith, but Faith as in assurance. How many times have you heard the wisecrack, "My mind is already made up. Don't confuse me with the facts"? Although, in some cases, Faith can include fact, it doesn't have to. As many a creative writer has said, "Never let the facts get in the way of the Truth." What is important—and what this book is about, underneath all the stories—is why we so often embrace lies as if they were the Truth. How can normally intelligent human beings be seduced into being abnormally unintelligent? Is there something deep inside that allows our innate curiosity to be deflected into the comfort of fantasy? Is it like yin and yang? Like Satan and God? Matter and Antimatter? Holmes and Moriarty? Captain Kirk and his Evil Twin?
Lies can be seductive. As a test, read this paragraph straight through:
During the 1990s, the national crime rate fell, yet that same period saw an exponential increase in the construction of prisons and the birth of a movement to fill them using the "three strikes" and "truth-in-sentencing" laws. Does society actually need criminals so much that politicians pass laws making more things illegal, and police justify themselves by going out to catch the offenders? Is there a connection between tougher laws, more prisons, and campaign contributions by the prison guards' union? Most Americans believe that the government's war on drugs is warranted by the prevalence of controlled substances in our society. Yet a growing number of people believe that the government purposely controls certain substances in order to get people to approve laws that will incarcerate nonviolent drug users, oppress minorities, seize people's assets, undermine the Fourth Amendment (search and seizure), engage in domestic spying, and—oh, yes—help the tobacco companies who, as everybody knows, long ago trademarked all the popular names for marijuana so that, when pot is eventually legalized, they can control the market.
Danger, Will Robinson! Danger, Will Robinson!!
What makes human beings trust one another? Perhaps it's the simple need to bond with someone, as when tourists who would never pay attention to each other in the States become fast friends when they meet in a foreign land. Baby ducks follow the first thing they see once they come out of their shells; scientists have even trained newborn Rhesus monkeys to think of a warm washcloth as their mother. People who speak with their palms upturned inspire trust, as do those who, in conversation, constantly repeat the name of the person they're talking to. On the other hand, people distrust those who have three names (such as Lee Harvey Oswald, Mark David Chapman) or two first names (most AM radio disc jockeys). Oh, and never trust anybody who says, "Trust me."
Whoa! Take a breath. Did anything in that paragraph sound like a lie? If, for even one moment, you believed any part of it to be true, then you are beginning to understand the power of myth on the human psyche. (By the way, depending on whom you ask, part of it actually is true.)
On a less paranoid level, remember when you were a kid and you heard that if you swallow aspirin with a bottle of Coca-Cola, you become intoxicated? Or if you smoked baked banana skins, you'd get high? Or that Joan Crawford once made a porno movie called Ballin' the Jack?
None of the above is true. At least, not per se. All you get if you chug aspirin and Coca-Cola is stomach gas. Smoking baked banana skins, if anything, gives you a headache. And if Mommie Dearest ever made a "groin grind" film (as Variety used to call them), you'd think a copy woulda turned up over the last 70 years—unless they're being hoarded by the guys in the black helicopters, of course. And yet how many times have we heard those stories, or repeated them because the person who told them to us swore they were true? Or because they sounded as if they could be? Or because we felt important knowing something that our friends didn't?
So this book doesn't presume to explore Truth. Leave that to the philosophers. The examples that follow captured the popular imagination of their time. Not everybody in here is a crook, and not every story is a crime, but they are fascinating examples of society's frailty, and the need that people have to believe.
The ever quotable Oscar Wilde said, "The aim of the liar is simply to charm, to delight, to give pleasure. He is the very basis of civilized society." In Walt Disney's Pinocchio, the Blue Fairy warned, "A lie grows until it's as plain as the nose on your face." Finally, Mark Twain put the cork in the bottle when he wrote, "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."

Brewers end losing streak by beating Cubs
Wisconsin Sports-- The Milwaukee Brewers ended a two-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs last night at Miller Park.
MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers ended a two-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs last night at Miller Park.
Both teams scored all their runs in the first-inning. Aramis Ramirez belted a two-run homer for Chicago. Ryan Braun put Milwaukee on the board with an RBI double in the bottom of the first. And Casey McGehee later hit the eventual game-winner, a two-run triple.
Chris Narveson got the win, giving up eight hits in five-plus innings with his two runs. He's now 7-6. John Axford left the tying run on second base, but he tied a Brewers' record with his 25th straight save. He has 28 in all. Ryan Dempster ended a six-game winning streak against the Brewers. He went six innings while giving up three runs on seven hits. He's now 7-8. Chicago out-hit the Brewers 10-8, but the Cubs still failed to get the first four-game winning streak of the year.
Milwaukee moved into second place in the National League Central, still a half-game behind Saint Louis. Pittsburgh dropped to third after losing to Atlanta 4-3 in 19 innings last night.
Brewers' reliever Mitch Stetter is expected to have season-ending surgery to fix a labral tear in his left hip. The left-hander said he would get a second opinion tomorrow from a doctor in Chicago. Stetter has been on the disabled list since May 17th. He started a rehab assignment earlier this month with the Brewers' rookie team in Arizona, and he pitched in a couple games for Triple-"A" Nashville last week. But the 30-year-old Stetter said he did not feel comfortable in those appearances – so he returned to Milwaukee late last week to get checked out. Stetter says he's most worried about getting arthritis in the hip if he doesn't get the problem corrected. Stetter has pitched seven innings in 16 relief appearances for the Brewers this season. He has a 5.14 ERA, and has held opponents to a .296 batting average. Milwaukee currently does not have a left-hander in its bullpen.

Thumbs up to the Shape Service dev team which sees no moral dilemma in charging customer's $10 for a bug-ridden application that as far as I'm concerned should have never left the BETA stage yet.
Yahoo wouldn't even sign in at first, finally when I got it to work it did properly for about an hour? Linked with my facebook, the contacts and the scroll bar would disappear beneath where the virtual keyboard comes in, this while being aesthetically unimpressive was tolerable because it did not take away from functionality.
Now 2 hours into using the app and Yahoo no longer refreshes and with no button to refresh, my only option is signing in and out. And even then it will only refresh so long as I don't send another message, as soon as I do i can't see the person I am conversing with's replies and I have to scroll past where it is letting me to see me recent replies (it auto scrolls back to when it was working when I let go).
Now the next day, I can't sign into anything but MSN which seems to still work but I've only ran it, not talked on that account so maybe that is why it hasn't started glitching. Yahoo pretends to sign in but all my contacts remain offline despite knowing who is online. Facebook can actually get in if I sign in and out like 5 times, it is always Reconnecting, Connecting, Processing, sometimes it can actually get me on my Yahoo as well since it doesn't seem to let me login normally. I get the "1 message" or whatever above contacts and inbox but can't click it. This app so far has been one massive head ache because obviously it wasn't free so I've been killing myself trying everything to make it work (No, japanese server doesn't work for me either).
Now I have used IM+ on other platforms and seen it is a good application, hence why I bought it. But now? I paid $10 and I don't even have the ability to message people? That's pretty shabby and I hope the dev team is still working hard to remove these numerous glitches.
I know a lottttttttttt of bugs started arising when I began backgrounding the app often (in showcase mode) to switch songs on Slacker Radio.
Aside from those glitches my personal gripes would be:
The GUI, it is pretty and all but needs a lot more as far as I'm concerned, you have so little options and I think there should be an interface before all the apps or one you can switch between them, organize them better, more options etc. Overall I think it is clean but you can barely do anything it seems really restrictive.
Video chat support (Yahoo, Skype), I know this is much easier said than done but I've seen a couple websites that supported video messages even with the playbook despite not having support for it specifically, so maybe it functions similarly to a webcam online just because they both use flash? I don't know.
More features, more settings, I wanna set pictures and use buzz's and such. And a function to reset you're IM+ back to original settings or refresh it because for the first hour of use it worked as advertised, no complaints on my end.
Now I know I may come off like a jerk but my $10 app barely works at all, so I'm frustrated.

LETTER: Why won't House bill have moratorium?
I'd like to assure Rep. Kelly I don't need him apologizing to anyone for me (R-E, March 9). I certainly didn't mean only the Albrechts when I wrote "Anyone who thinks all of these (sand) areas are adequately regulated is undereducated." I meant anyone.By: Larry Sonnek, The Republican Eagle
To the Editor:
I'd like to assure Rep. Kelly I don't need him apologizing to anyone for me (R-E, March 9). I certainly didn't mean only the Albrechts when I wrote "Anyone who thinks all of these (sand) areas are adequately regulated is undereducated." I meant anyone.
He'd be surprised to know that I spent over 20 minutes in a delightful conversation with Mr. Albrecht before writing my letter, but I sincerely apologize if they took personal offence. I continue to stand by the premise of my letter although the correct date of "The Price of Sand" is March 22 at the Sheldon Theater.
Rep. Kelly indicated I am partisan, stated incorrect facts, didn't contact him and "can only imagine." Here are facts.
1) I voted for members of both parties last election.
2) He didn't identify my "incorrect facts".
3) I did call him (March 1).
I hoped to have a dialogue with him when I phoned his office Friday before I sent in my letter on Monday. He never responded.
4) Regarding the silica issue: for two years, I've logged hundreds of hours on this issue, often spending over 20 hours a week. I've been to dozens of township, county and city meetings on the subject. I've talked to numerous regulatory officials. I attended all three hearings on Sen. Schmidt's bill. I've talked to other legislators regarding the issue.
Having indicated that, I'll be delighted to have his office provide additional, pertinent information.
He's correct in commending the McIlraths. They've been untiring in their efforts regarding responsible regulation of silica mining. If he rereads their letter he'll understand their central theme is the need for a "three-legged stool." My letter asked him for "a one-year moratorium, a comprehensive study and subsequent laws" — the three legs.
Instead of explaining why his pending legislation doesn't have even two of the legs, he deflected the attention from inadequate legislation and attacked me. Instead of criticizing me, he'd have better served his constituents by answering my question. Why doesn't his legislation include a moratorium to halt mining until a generic environmental impact statement can be done?

Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, get the coffee grinding, put the toast in the toaster cause its Monday morning people and I, like many of you, have a long day ahead. I packed up my backpack filled to the brim with books, food, and Sunny-D, and took off on my bike to school this morning thinking about the many tasks I needed to complete today.
When I arrived at school, everything looked the same, but the atmosphere felt a bit different. I guess you could say that the feeling of urgent concern was in the air filling the halls with anxious tension. As I walked through the main quad I saw someone I recognized, it was some guy from my philosophy class passing out flyers about a student protest to take place Tuesday at noon. Finally, something is happening other than question and answer "Talks" at the schools Aloha Java cafe; something profound. Despite these half-baked attempts to offer students ridiculous explanations for the hike in tuition, less classes, and furlough days, action needed to be taken.
UC schools have not been so apt to lay down and die like their CSU counterparts, they have been rallying and holding walkouts since the fall session. So why have most CSU's been silently stewing and pouting with no action? Especially when my university just dropped a few hard dimes on redesigning the schools logo? Something is up here, and I think that universities have abandoned their students, they have forgotten that we are the life blood that fills these educational institutions with purpose.
Despite these pressing times for college students, at the very least my lone philosophy classmate of mine has finally had it, many students have finally had it, professors and faculty have finally had it. Tomorrow in the quad at noon we will remind California's university system that without the students, without us; they are nothing.

Lemme say this; People are gonna be entertained by sex and violence and that's that, but some kids are so desensitized to violence that they don't even think it's real until they maim or kill someone. 9 year-olds are looking at things on the internet that weren't even in my imagination at that age.
They have FOOTAGE of it, man. Lord.
Also, mental health issues are obviously going unchecked in this case. Kids don't just stab people unless they've BEEN having REAL issues. You gotta talk to em, man. You gotta KNOW what they're up to, how they're feeling, what motivates and hurts them. This kid needed help before this, no one can tell me different…and now, one kid's life is ended way too early and another's is ruined and scarred forever.
Talk to your children. Make sure you know the difference between 'teen-ager crazy' and 'having issues with mental health'. There's a big difference and it could mean life or death.
