- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 beef flank steak (1 pound)
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first seven ingredients; add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
- Drain and discard marinade. Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Yield: 4 servings.

The Bronx High School of Science (commonly called Bronx Science or Science, formerly Science High,[4][5] demonym "Scienceite(s)"[6]) is a specialized New York City public high school often considered the premier science magnet school in the United States. Founded in 1938, it is now located in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx. Admission is by an exam open to all grade-eligible students in New York City, reportedly taken by more than 20,000 students annually.[7] Although known for its focus on mathematics and science, Bronx Science also emphasizes the humanities and social sciences and continually attracts students with a wide variety of interests beyond math and science.
Bronx Science has received international recognition[8] as one of the best[9] high schools in the United States, public or private, ranking in the top 100 in U.S. News and World Report's lists of America's "Gold-Medal" high schools in 2008 and 2009.[10] It attracts an intellectually gifted blend of culturally, ethnically,[11][12] and economically diverse students from New York City.[13] As of 2012, Bronx Science is ranked as one of the " 22 top-performing schools"[14] in America on The Washington Post as well as number 50 out of a list of the best 1,000 high schools in the country on The Daily Beast's "America's Best High Schools"[15] list.
Every year almost all Bronx Science graduates go on to four-year colleges; many attend Ivy League and other prestigious schools.[16] Bronx Science has counted 132 finalists in the Intel (formerly Westinghouse) Science Talent Search, the largest number of any high school.[17] Eight graduates have won Nobel Prizes—more than any other secondary education institution in the United States[18]—and six have won Pulitzer Prizes.[19][20] Of the eight Nobel Prizes earned by Bronx Science graduates, seven of them are in physics, which earned Bronx Science a designation by the American Physical Society as an "Historic Physics Site" in 2010.[21][22]
Bronx Science is a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology (NCSSSMST).[23] Together with Stuyvesant High School and Brooklyn Technical High School, it is one of three original specialized science high schools operated by the New York City Department of Education.
The Bronx High School of Science was founded in 1938 as a specialized science and math high school for boys, by resolution of the Board of Education of the City of New York, with Morris Meister as the first principal of the school. They were given use of an antiquated Gothic-gargoyled edifice located at Creston Avenue and 184th Street, in the Fordham Road-Grand Concourse area of the Bronx. The building, built in 1918 for Evander Childs High School, had been successively occupied by Walton High School (1930) and by an annex of DeWitt Clinton High School (1935). The initial faculty were composed in part by a contingent from Stuyvesant High School.[24]
Principal Meister put his imprint on the school from its formation, for example selecting as school colors "green to represent chlorophyll and gold the sun, both of which are essential to the chain of life."[25]
Expansion to co-education[edit]
Bronx Science started with about 150 ninth year students and 250 tenth year students, the remaining facilities of the building being used by DeWitt Clinton. As more boys began to attend Science, the Clinton contingent was gradually returned to its own main building. During their joint occupation, which lasted for 2 years until 1940, the two schools had separate teaching staff and classes, but the same supervision and administration.
In 1946, as a result of the efforts of Meister, the faculty, and the Parents Association, the school became co-ed, giving girls of New York equal opportunity to pursue a quality education in a specialized high school, previously denied to them. This expansion to co-education preceded its rivals Stuyvesant (1969) and Brooklyn Tech (1970) by more than two decades.
In 1958, after 20 years as principal of the school, Morris Meister resigned to become the first president of the newly organized Bronx Community College. Alexander Taffel succeeded Meister as principal.
The move to modern facilities[edit]
From the beginning, the Parents Association and Principal Morris Meister campaigned for a new building. After twenty years, but under Principal Taffel, plans were finally completed for a new $8 million building, designed by the architectural firm of Emery Roth and Sons.[26] The new building would be on 205th Street near Bedford Park Boulevard, in a predominantly institutional area, between DeWitt Clinton High School and its large football field on one side, and Harris Field and Hunter College (now Lehman College) on the other. On March 3, 1959, students and faculty occupied the new building for the first time, solving the problem of how to move the books from the old library to the new in typical Bronx Science manner: on Friday afternoon each student took home five library books from the old building, and on Monday returned them to the new one.
They entered a school equipped with modern classrooms, laboratories, and technical studio areas. The main lobby entrance featured a 63-foot (19 m), Venetian glass mosaic mural overhead, depicting major figures from the history of science such as Marie Curie and Charles Darwin under the protective hands of a God-like figure representing knowledge, with this quote from John Dewey: "Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination." The mural is an original work by Frank J. Reilly entitled Humanities Protecting Biology, Physics, Chemistry, reflecting the school's mission to excel not only in the sciences and mathematics, but also in the humanities. Legions of students over the years, bemoaning the lack of swimming facilities, have sarcastically referred to the mural as "the Science swimming pool", perpetuating the idea – perhaps apocryphal – that a choice was made to fund a mural rather than a pool in the new building; but the mural continues to epitomize the special nature of the Bronx High School of Science. The move was not without incident. In the first spring of the move, rumors swept the school that various Bronx youth street gangs were coming to the school, and that the Fordham Baldies would shave the hair of Science students. This never happened. Another incident did happen that spring: The first time Science girls appeared on the outdoor physical education field in skimpy shorts/t-shirts (which probably showed less than in the average high school in 2006), some students from the neighboring, all-male DeWitt Clinton High School charged the separation fence between their field and the Science field. The fence held, but the female students exercised indoors for the remainder of that year.
When Bronx Science celebrated its silver anniversary in June 1963, President John F. Kennedy hailed it as "a significant and pathfinding example of a special program devoted to the development of the student gifted in science and mathematics." The President had recently selected one of its graduates, Harold Brown, of the class of 1943, for the position of Director of Defense Research and Engineering; he would later serve as Secretary of Defense under President Jimmy Carter.
Recent administration[edit]
When Alexander Taffel retired as principal in 1978, the chairman of the Biological Science Department, Milton Kopelman, became Principal.[27] He remained so for over ten years. Upon Principal Kopelman's retirement in 1990, long-time faculty member and Biology Assistant Principal Vincent Galasso became principal. He was followed by Physical Science Department Assistant Principal Stanley Blumenstein, a 1963 graduate of Bronx Science.
In 2000 William Stark, an assistant principal of the Social Studies Department, was appointed acting principal. He was expected to move up to the principal's office, when Chancellor Harold O. Levy decided to try to find a Nobel laureate to become principal.[28] However, when that effort failed, Stark was still not offered the job as principal. Stark said that if he wasn't officially offered the job by a certain date, he would take another position being offered to him elsewhere. When the deadline came and went, Stark accepted a job as principal of Manhasset High School. Many faculty and parents were upset that Stark was not appointed in a timely way and thus had left the school; Vincent Galasso agreed to an interim appointment for one term in 2001.[28]
After Levy's unsuccessful attempt to appoint a Nobel laureate, Valerie J. Reidy, Assistant Principal of the Biology Department, was appointed principal in September 2001; she was the first female principal in the school's history. Reidy has been a controversial figure, and several teachers[who?] left the school in response to her becoming principal. Some teachers[who?] have openly criticized her to newspapers and some students staged protests in 2005 and 2008.[28][29][30] There was also a substantial exodus of social studies teachers at the end of the 2010–2011 term, reportedly due to problems with the administration.[31]
Valerie Reidy announced her resignation in June 2013. In September 2013, Dr. Jean Donahue was named Interim Acting Principal of the school. Dr. Donahue is an alumna of the school (Class of 1977), the parent of an alumna, and a long time faculty member at the school.
Entrance examination[edit]
The Bronx High School of Science has a student body of about 3,000 students. Admission is based exclusively on an entrance examination, known as the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT), open to all eighth and ninth grade New York City students. The test covers math (word problems and computation) and verbal (reading comprehension, logical reasoning, unscrambling paragraphs) skills. Out of the approximately 30,000 students taking the entrance examination for the September 2011 admission round, (with 19,587 students listing Bronx Science as a choice on their application), about 1,044 offers were made, making for an acceptance rate of 5.3%.[32][33]
Student body[edit]
Although the student body is diverse, comprising almost every ethnic group in New York City, about 63% of the Bronx Science's student population is Asian as of 2012. Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics represent 23.51%, 3.33%, and 6.89% of the school's student population respectively.[34] The ratio of female to male students as of 2012 is forty-two females for every fifty-eight males.[35]
Facilities and resources[edit]
- Computerized & renovated science laboratories, including the Syracuse University @ Bronx Science Crime Lab and DNA Research Lab
- Computer laboratories
- Weather Station
- Harris Field-a 15-acre (61,000 m2) field across 205th street where many Bronx Science sports teams practice.
- Rooftop planetarium
- High speed internet access in every room
- a website with a .edu top-level domain, one of a few obtained by high schools before the rules changed in October 2001 restricting .edu to post-secondary schools.[36]
- Televisions equipped with DVD/VHS players in every room
- Advanced library[37]
- Distance Learning Lab[38]
- Animal Room
- On-site Holocaust Museum
- 2 rooftop greenhouses[39]
- Foreign Language Multimedia Learning Center
The Bronx Science library provides resources ranging from traditional print and microform to electronic subscription e-journals and databases. Located on the first floor just off the main lobby, the library is composed of three smaller rooms encompassing approximately 65,000 square feet (6,000 m²) with a seating capacity of 100. Holdings include over 30,000 volumes, 135 different magazines, microforms (including the New York Times on microfilm dating back to 1851) and readers, and computers in the computer room. Among its electronic resources is ScienceDirect, a free science journal service provided by Elsevier to a select few science high schools. It is used by students as a gateway to firsthand experience with published scientific research.[40]
A rooftop solar panel installation was completed in February 2006. The 33.6 kW (DC) photovoltaic (PV) arrays consist of 168 Sharp Solar 200 watt DC PV modules laminated to PowerLight's flat-roof PowerGuard mounting system and utilizes a Xantrex PV-30208 30 kW AC 3 phase inverter. Integration with the school's computer network allows students to monitor the solar panels' production of electricity in real time, while saving on the school's energy cost. A screen just off the main lobby displays production data at every moment.[41]
Holocaust Museum and Studies Center[edit]
In 1978, Stuart S. Elenko, a Social Studies faculty member, founded a Holocaust Museum and Studies Center at Bronx Science, funded by grants, donations, and the New York City Council. The museum was one of the first of its kind in the United States, and houses a collection of rare documents, photographs, artifacts and other material from the Nazi era; the Studies Center sponsors speakers and puts together and distributes educational materials about the Holocaust. The museum has had over 60,000 visitors. In 2004 an anonymous benefactor – an alumnus of the school – made a very large donation to the museum. In 2006, the museum moved out of its original home into a larger space, although plans were made for the museum to be renovated. In April 2013, after more than a decade, Bronx Science completed the expensive job of rebuilding the newly redesigned museum – which now sits in the basement of the school. Costing over $1 million thanks to several grants and numerous donations from alumni (including $150,000 from the City Council) – over $500,000 of those expenses directed towards the museum's construction – the museum is one of the rarest of its kind to be located in a public high school in America.[42][43] Home to over 1,000 collected artifacts (many of them, having been donated), the museum is housed in a 1,000-square-foot (93 m2) room, which sports an aggregation of artifacts tucked in pull-out drawers and positioned beneath glass displays, along with their respective captions. [42][43] Bronx Science offers a Holocaust Leadership Class (offered to sophomores and upperclassmen), which allows the students in this class to serve as the tour guides of the Holocaust Museum & Studies Center. [44]
Bronx Science students take a college preparatory curriculum that includes four years of lab science, math, English, social studies, two or three years of foreign language and a year of fine arts, with required courses and a wide selection of electives, including advanced placement (AP) classes, which allow students to place out of introductory college science courses. Over 160 distinct courses are offered.[45] Students have an opportunity to do independent research, and many compete in the annual Intel Science Talent Search (formerly sponsored by Westinghouse).
In the biological sciences, the students have the additional option of taking a special "double honors" biology course, which features extra laboratory exposure. Science electives include microbiology, physiology, forensic science, human genetics, evolution, astronomy, organic chemistry, electronics and others.
The mathematics department offers the standard AP courses in AB/BC calculus and statistics, courses in multivariable calculus and computer science, including AP Java. A course in linear algebra and differential equations was offered for the first time in fall 2007.
Students take four years of English, with electives including honors creative writing, exploring science fiction, journalism workshop and AP English.
Four years of social studies or history classes are required, and include US and world history, economics – with electives in psychology, law, finance, and global studies, among others.
Three years of languages are required. Bronx Science offers French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, Modern Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. At one time Hebrew, Russian and German were also offered.
Students in their sophomore year are required to take either Applied Science or a class to satisfy the Sophomore Research Requirement. Classes that satisfy the Sophomore Research Requirement include Introduction to Engineering, Social Science Research, Biology/Physical Science Research, and Math Research.[46] Students have the option of continuing their research in their junior and senior years, which gives them the opportunity to work with mentors and submit their final research paper to prestigious competitions such as the Intel Science Talent Search.[46] Students must also obtain credits from two terms of a class in the fine arts or the equivalent. The fine arts requirement is usually satisfied during Bronx Science's Summer Program which offers Drama, Music, and Art.[46] Students usually "double up" on two of these courses to satisfy the fine arts requirement for once and all during the time period of one summer. However, it is possible to satisfy the fine arts requirement by taking a music elective such as Jazz Band or an arts elective such as AP Studio Art during the regular school year.[46]
Health and Physical Education courses are also required, with activities including step aerobics, weight training, basketball, skating, team handball, fitness and yoga.

Student opportunities[edit]
Along with a rigorous academic foundation and an array of extracurricular choices, students are provided with original research opportunities in the biological, physical, and social sciences, and programs that hone students' investigative skills and prepare them for academic competitions. Interested students may apply for research programs in their freshman year and begin a three-year sequence of voluntary work on their projects in their sophomore year. During this time, students collaborate with scientists at local laboratories to develop and complete an independent research project, usually concentrated during two summers. The program culminates in the writing of a scientific paper in the senior year, which is submitted to various competitions, such as the Intel Science Talent Search. Since the inception of this prestigious national competition in 1942, Bronx Science has accumulated the highest number of finalists: 132.[17]
There are several school publications, some produced by students, others produced by individual departments.
Science Survey is Bronx Science's entirely student-run newspaper. Students manage everything: reporting, layout, design, editing, and final production, under the supervision of the journalism teacher. The paper runs purely on funds from its advertisers, with no fiscal school support. The paper is distributed on average 7 times per year at no charge. The Science Survey has been the name of the Bronx Science student newspaper since the founding of the school in 1938.
Dynamo is the literary magazine sponsored by the English Department, consisting of original poems and stories submitted by students from all grades. The Observatory is Bronx Science's prize-winning yearbook. The yearbook office has a custom-built web server to manage its production, powered by MediaWiki and Coppermine software.
The Biology Department sponsors two publications. BioNIC[dead link] (the Biology News and Information Center) is an annual web publication featuring biology-related events at Bronx Science, student-written articles, opportunities, and links to helpful and interactive pages. Biology Journal, a joint venture between students and faculty, documents advances in the field within the school and in the outside world. Each themed issue contains interviews, commentaries, artwork, featured student research papers, and abstracts from every student Biology research project that year.
Other department-produced publications include the annual Math Bulletin, consisting of student term papers, original student mathematics research, and topics in mathematics; Exposition, an annual production of the Social Studies Department;[47] and Reactions, written by Physical Science students.
BS was the name for the school's underground newspaper in the 90's. The paper may not be currently active. It was entirely student-run and financed, by the writers, through candy sales to the student body. The paper included only student-written content covering local politics, poetry, fiction, non-fiction and art. One article covered the lax grading of one teacher; demonstrating several purposefully ridiculous homework responses which the teacher 'checked' as being acceptable without reading.
Student life[edit]
A comprehensive events calendar is maintained on the school's website.[48]
- Earth Day Festival- hosted annually by the LEAP club on Earth Day.[49]

Extra-curricular activities[edit]
The school boasts both boys' and girls' teams for basketball, bowling, cross country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, handball, track, soccer, swimming, tennis, and volleyball. The baseball, basketball, softball, and volleyball teams compete on both the varsity and junior varsity levels. The cricket team is co-ed. Bronx Science also has a boys varsity wrestling team, a girls varsity lacrosse team, and a developmental boys varsity lacrosse team. In the 2009 to 2010 school year, Bronx Science's boys won the "Triple Crown": the cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track were ranked best in the Bronx all in one year. In 2012 to 2013 school year the Girls Soccer team defeated Beacon High School winning the PSAL city championship.
Academic teams[edit]
Founded in 1969 by debate coach Richard B. Sodikow, the Bronx High School of Science Speech and Debate Team has been prominent and successful. With the creation of Lincoln-Douglas Debate in 1979, came the creation of the Bronx Science LD squad which has had national success. David Yalof won the national championship in 1984, and two years later, Hee-Sun Hong received the first-ever Tournament of Champions title in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. In 1988, Jonathan Koppell and Peter Colavito closed out the final round of the Tournament of Champions.
The Speech and Student Congress portions of the team have also won numerous awards. A small sample: In 1996 and 1997 Kari Hodges won the New York State forensic league championship in Dramatic Interpretation, an award also won in 1992 by Maggie Siff. Rachel Haber and Benji Unger took home the state championship in Declamation in 2001 and 2002. Kayan Clarke and Xizi Qiu were state champions in Original Oraory in 1997 and 2002. Patrick Woods won the state championship in Student Congress in 1998.[50]

The Bronx Science faculty includes educators with advanced degrees, including the PhD, in their field, and many have taught at universities. Unlike most New York City public schools, teachers are not hired according to seniority. Instead, teachers are interviewed and reviewed by a committee of current teachers from the department.
Some teachers are also alumni of the school: Michael Contente (ret. June 2007), the former coordinator of the Department of Mathematics (1966); Jean M. Donahue, PhD, the assistant principal of the Science Department (1977); Fred Levy, assistant principal of the art, music, and technology departments; David Cohen (math and technology), Richard Lee (biology), Sherrill Mirsky (ret. June 2009), Dorothy Klausner (ret. June 2009), Beatrice Robertson (math), Polly Schoenfeld (English), Jordan Ronson (English), Olivia Byun (English), Daniel Abella (filmmaking), John Liu (Global and U.S. History).
Many teachers also play an active role in the advancement of the school's vision. For example, Fanny K. Ennever, PhD, a former teacher in the Physical Science Department and adjunct assistant professor at Columbia University,[60] was responsible for securing a $27,500 grant in both 2004 and 2005 for developing and modifying the Bronx Science chemistry laboratory curriculum, in order to make sessions less "cookbook" and more inquiry-based.[61]
Every year, the senior members of ARISTA National Honor Society vote for the Honored Teacher Award. Winners of the award include Patricia Nunez (Foreign Lanuage, Spanish), Gregory Greene (Mathematics), James Perna (Mathematics), Pat Drury (Physical Education), John Reutershan (Mathematics), Dr. Wheeler (Biology), Mrs. Ramos (Biology), Louis DiIulio (Social Studies) and Dermot Hannon (English).

Notable alumni and former students[edit]
Nobel Prize winners[edit]
The Bronx High School of Science counts eight Nobel Prize winners among its graduates, seven in physics and one in chemistry:[18]
- Leon N. Cooper 1947, Brown University awarded the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physics
- Sheldon L. Glashow 1950, Boston University, awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics[63]
- Steven Weinberg 1950, University of Texas at Austin, awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics

No other secondary school in the United States has as many alumni who have won Nobel Prizes.[21][18] If Bronx Science were a country, it would be tied at 14th with Norway for number of Nobel laureates (as of July 2013).[18][68] Were Bronx Science a university, it would be tied for 58th place, matching UNC-Chapel Hill and UMD.
Pulitzer Prize winners[edit]
Bronx Science also has six Pulitzer Prize-winning graduates; a seventh is the Editor of a newspaper that was awarded:
- William Sherman 1963, reporter at the New York Daily News, awarded 1974

Additional alumni honors[edit]
Six alumni have won the National Medal of Science, the nation's highest scientific honor bestowed by the U.S. President and thus far awarded to 425 scientists and engineers. Bronx Science also counts among its graduates 29 current members of the United States National Academy of Sciences (NAS), an honor attained by only about 2,000 American scientists. There are 22 Bronx Science graduates who are current members of the United States National Academy of Engineering (NAE), ten are current members of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and at least one is a current member of the Royal Society of Canada. Other award-winning alumni include journalist Mark Boal, who was honored with the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Hurt Locker (2009).

text: The Georgia suit does not mark the first time the ACLU and other groups have taken legal action against immigration laws in recent months. Last month, the ACLU filed a class action suit challenging an Indiana immigration law [JURIST report] that requires individuals to provide proof of their legal status at all times and calls for all public meetings, websites and documents to be in English only. Also last month, the ACLU and other groups filed a class action suit against a Utah immigration law [JURIST report] that requires police to check the immigration status of anyone arrested for an alleged felony or serious misdemeanor. Federal judges have enjoined both the Indiana and Utah laws [JURIST reports]. Similar legislation has been approved in Alabama, Virginia and Oklahoma [JURIST reports]. Arizona's legislation, signed into law last April, is currently enjoined, and Governor Jan Brewer has pledged to appeal to the US Supreme Court [JURIST reports].

Oh, my. Where did you get that magical oven? These look wonderful! I am sure they will be a hit for all the b-days.
ReplyDelete I love your "in the defense of butter"! I'm sorry, but having been raised on hand churned butter, I've never been able to use margarine. I was thrilled when I started finding the same studies as you that inflammation has more to do with heart disease than saturated fats. It's not that I eat a lot of it, but now I don't feel so guilty - whoops - I never did feel guilty - who am I fooling? :) Anyhoo - your cookies look fabulous - butter and all! Both Bobby and I would definitely prefer these cookies over a cake any day!

I love a person who adapts to unexpected changes. A clear sign of wisdom.
I was very firm on the idea of having my high protein pancake for lunch with a bit of cottage cheese on the side. But, when I opened the fridge, I saw this small bowl of leftover black pasta with orange cream sauce.
I adapted. I mean, what else could I possibly have done? Hi Kelly - since these are whole-grain then it means I can eat several score of them instead of just the one or two, right? :D
They look fantastic - I actually made some cookies myself today too. Not quite as health-aware as yours... I actually have a load of spelt flour in the cupboard - I should play about a bit with it!These cookies look delightful. Peanut butter is my favorite dessert flavor. I'm also so glad to hear more and more people spreading the good word about butter. It's been so demonized that I still get feedback that because my recipes often include butter that they aren't healthy. I rarely know where to begin. Thanks for the great post.

OOOO, these are melting in my mouth this very moment, dearest...
My Inner Chick http://myinnerchick.com Looks delicious Kelly. Happy Birthday month! My Mom's birthday was in February too; we always try to get together with my brothers family to remember. I'll need some health-conscious treats for that day, and this recipe might just be it. It's nice to hear that butter isn't the bad boy we all thought it was. What is that saying, everything in moderation...
ReplyDeleteKelly, the cookies look deliciously crunchy and chocolatey. Spelt flour is the healthy, original touch I am always so happy to find in your recipes. I am happy you bring up the butter subject. The worst in these anti-butter times was not the use of oil, but margarin. (I'm also sure the producers made everything they could to convince peopel how great margarin was since it was much cheaper to produce). Luckily my mum was the margarin victim for a very short time and only partly (we always had both butter and margarine in the fridge), but I still remember how awfully it tastes on bread... Cakes baked with neutral tasting oils can sometimes be softer and in general nice, but I have never tasted a cake which is better with margarine than with butter. I'm happy the margarin mania has stopped.

Great cookies, Kelly! I also appreciate what you said about saturated fats like butter. I try not to eat a ton of it, but I have no issues using it in my cooking for the exact reasons you stated above. Darn those evil carbs!
ReplyDelete - Ann McElfreshFebruary 14, 2012 at 12:34 AM
These look delicious! When I bake, I like to use either olive oil or butter - mostly butter. I've found that I'm not a fan of margarine. My theory is both olive oil and butter are FOOD. ...and these cookies look AMAZING! Happy Valentines Day!

Thanks Linda - yes, I think the idea is to keep it real. We keep trying to outsmart mother nature. We have to learn to let it be.

I'm particularly happy with the ground flaxseed in these puppies... I think it's a worthwhile, quality addition. Your chocolate cookies are dynamite Charles!

Thanks Angie ~ and the big bonus is that they taste great! :)
ReplyDelete - inspiredediblesFebruary 15, 2012 at 8:54 PM
Food manufacturers are powerful messagers of information. My personal favourite are the "no cholesterol" labels on plant-based oils... that's when you know you're really being laughed at.

Moderation indeed ;0) - inspiredediblesFebruary 15, 2012 at 8:57 PM
yes, unfortunately, the first generation of margarines contained trans fats - they have since reinvented margarine that is trans fat free however, I cannot think of a more synthetic product. You can't outsmart mother nature ;-)Cheers Sissi.

Perfect! Yes, focus on the good stuff and crowd out the less good :) I like that philosophy too.

Here is a link to my cast iron cooking primer for reference. Don't overthink it; cast iron doesn't really call for a lot of care. Keep On Eggin'
Huh? Definitely not Teflon, and a metal spatula will ruin any finish if you're scraping with it. Cleaning with a wooden spoon is seasoning friendky. Wooden spoons have been around probably longer than cast iron.GrannyX4 said:Do you mean back in the day great granny used wood or Teflon on the skillets? Not in our house! Funny =))
No problems using metal on the old stuff. Have a couple of metal flexible fish spatulas that are handy.
Searching on ebay for a nice vintage set of Ekco Flint Arrowhead utensils.
Been known to use a little Dawn when scrubbing. If it's properly seasoned, Dawn will do no harm to the finish.
"I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected, enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral...of our divinity, and still be a human."--------Maynard James Keenan F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) = tool
Wow! that's some little toe you have... I'm afraid to ask how strong the big one is :)GrannyX4 said:Yazzi, near Saltsburg in Westmorland county. My collection has dwindled. I gave a pan to each of the kids and I broke one in two when I dropped it on my little toe. ;;)
I like the 2 cylinder Deere, what is that a 60?Charlie tuna said:This is how i do mine. Scrub, or depending on the condition of the CI to be seasoned, wire brush, to remove anything - down to bare metal. I then rub the entire CI surface with veggie oil, coating the entire surface, inside and outside. Place the CI in an oven and run the temperature up to 400 degrees for a few minutes, then i shut the oven "off" and leave the CI in the oven to cool all the way down. When cool, i look the entire surface over to make sure the entire surface is seasoned and shiny!! If not, it goes again thru the oil and 400 degree oven process.

Oh, and don't worry, the kids are fine and didn't even bat an eyelash at the removal of their toys. They now have a lovely playroom upstairs (I will show pictures of that another day!) and they also have lots of toys nicely stashed away in the living room.
I knew from the start that I wanted to do a board and batten treatment for the dining room and it turned out just how I imagined it! The room isn't completely finished yet (still need to hang more pictures up and get more accessories for the room), but I wanted to show it off! I will eventually write some more updates with information on how we did all the woodwork, but here are some pictures for now:
View from Living Room |
We love all the light the room receives now! |
Picture Collage wall that we are still working on |
^See that awesome photograph of the flower with the blue background? I purchased that at www.daisyraephotos.com and I LOVE IT! Totally brought in the colors I needed! I actually bought several of her prints for this room, which I will show when I finally get them framed. |
Close up detailing of the board and batten treatment |
Excuse the terrible photo, but here are the curtains I made for this room. Notice how we also put trim around the window casing? Totally helps with the architecture! |
We are still working on this side of the room, but right now it has a desk. Still trying to figure out how to make it all work. |
I am on the hunt for better accessories for the buffet |
But these will work for now |
We trimmed out the large doorway between the living room and dining room |
Close up of the picture rail |
So, we went from this:
To this:
Still lots more to do and I promise to post updates as they occur!

One of the state's most productive citizens has passed on at the "ripe" old age of 19. This citizen has wings and hung out on the 31st floor of Market Tower in downtown Indianapolis. The Department of natural Resources says Kinney, the city's favorite peregrine falcon the oldest and most productive peregrine falcon in the Midwest, was found dead Friday outside the 29th floor of the building, apparently suffering injuries consistent with colliding into the building. The DNR says a breeding peregrine usually lives just six to seven years, so Kinney, lived a long and productive life fathering 61 young with two females. The falcon was hatched in captivity and released in Lexington, Kentucky, by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources in 1993. One year later he showed up in Indianapolis, according to the DNR.

Summary (Masterplots II: American Fiction Series, Revised Edition)
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz consists of twenty-four chapters that tell the story of Dorothy's arrival in Oz and her adventures in that magical country. An omniscient narrator tells the story in simple language. It begins on a Kansas farm where Dorothy, an orphan, lives in a one-room house with her grim, hardworking uncle and aunt. A tornado appears and Dorothy, her uncle, and aunt run for a cellar under the house. When Toto, Dorothy's dog, jumps out of her arms, Dorothy runs to get the gog, and she and her pet are carried away by the winds. Dorothy falls asleep as the house whirls through the air.
When she awakens and goes outside her house, she finds she is in a strange and beautiful country inhabited by small, strangely dressed people known as the Munchkins. Dorothy's house has fallen on the Wicked Witch of the East, ruler of the Munchkins. Dorothy is awarded the Witch's silver shoes, which have some magical power unknown to the Munchkins or to the Good Witch of the North, who has come to meet Dorothy. The Good Witch tells Dorothy to go to the Emerald City, ruled by the Wizard of Oz, in the hope that the Wizard may be able to help the little girl return home.
On her way to the Wizard's city, Dorothy acquires three unusual companions: a scarecrow who complains of having no brains, a woodman made entirely of tin who complains of having no heart, and a lion who complains of having no courage. Dorothy suggests to each of them that the accompany her to see if the Wizard can help them.
After a number of adventures, Dorothy, Toto, and the three odd friends reach the Emerald City, where all of the houses seem to be made of green marble and studded with emeralds. They make their requests of the...

The United States Constitution was signed on Sept. 17, 1787. In honor of that momentous occasion, Cami Bair, a teacher at North Fork Community Montessori School, wrote special curriculum for her students.
The week of Sept. 10-14 the students learned about the Constitution, and on Sept. 17, Constitution Day, they presented a seven-part series of skits.
The skits covered what the Constitution is, who made it, why they made it, what are the rights in the Bill of Rights and why the Bill of Rights was added. They also learned about some of the later amendments. The students discovered why there are the different branches of government and how power is shared between the government and the people. "The government is accountable to the people," Bair said.
The students finished their presentation with songs about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
After the presentation, Bair quizzed her students.
Ruby Chase and Graham Waltermire wrote that the Constitution is "a piece of paper with the rights that keep us free written down."
Who wrote the Constitution? Abby LaBounty said, "Some of the founding fathers." Malachi Deck answered, "George Washington and Benjamin Franklin."
Several answered why the framers made the Constitution. "To keep us safe," Lydia Puckett said. "They wanted the country to have good laws," said Simon Cox. "So we could defend ourselves," said Luke O'Brien.
Asked what are some of the rights in the Bill of Rights, Diego Lareau said the right to bear arms; Kayla Miller said freedom of religion; Milo Chavez named freedom of speech; and Baruch Chase said freedom of assembly.
Arjun Bacigalupi said the Bill of Rights was added because "the framers wanted to add . . . more details to the Constitution."
Concerning the amendments, students had a variety of responses. Crystal Goddard said, "Soldiers should not come in your home." Otus Beason said, "Don't rat on yourself." "Don't let policemen hurt you," said Ellie Feder. "Policemen need a warrant to come into your house," said Carmen Stickles. Abby LaBounty said, "Women and people of color can vote and the president can only be elected twice."
Born in England, Cami Bair understands the importance of the Constitution for the American people. "England does not have a written constitution. All law is based on prior jurisdiction. Some of which dates back to the time of William the Conqueror," Bair said. "And to me having it written down — that's a big deal. I remember when I came to America that feeling of 'It is guaranteed in writing.' That felt very good to me. It's one of the reasons I moved to America."
Regarding the fact that the U.S. Constitution is also a living document where the people can vote by state to amend the Constitution, Bair said, "I think that is absolutely wonderful. I think it's wonderful that the responsibility to uphold it is on us. It's just a piece of paper. So, to follow it and uphold it is [something] people have to decide to do. The kids learned it's voted on by the Supreme Court whether something is constitutional or not. And then they learned that law is passed by Congress . . . and the president enforces it. Without our police, military and courts, the Constitution would just be a piece of paper.
"It was so wonderful to me to start teaching it last year. For an abstract idea, it's very important. It's hard to teach something that abstract to kids that little, but it's important. I'm glad we did it. And I want to keep doing it every year."
North Fork Community Montessori is a Delta County public school.

There was once a family in Greek Mythology that was considered the most tragic of all time. From it's beginnings with the disturbing Tantalus to the murder of Agamemnon and later Clytemnestra, this family is ten different flavors of messed up. However, what is this curse of Atreus that I spoke of? Well it's the story of the two sons of Pelops and how their antics furthered the curse that began with Tantalus. As a side note, there was a little tidbit that I forgot to mention in my last entry, remember Myrtilus? Well I forgot to tell you guys that before he died at the hands of Pelops, he cursed him and his line, so that probably added on to the chance of misfortune in this family caused by that wacky Tantalus.
Wow this family tree is just filled with more tragedy than a emo's social life
The two sons of Pelops and Hippodamia were Atreus and Thyestes, but they had a stepbrother named Chrysippus. Now in a move to make sure that her sons got the kingdom, influenced her sons and had them help her murder their stepbrother by throwing him in a well. (Unfortunately Lassie was unable to get a boy to save him) This wasn't the perfect heist and Pelops found out so he had Hippodamia and her sons banished from the land. They found refuge in the kingdom of Mycenae, but Hippodamia opted to kill herself via hanging.That fucking harlot!
Following the suicide of their mother, Atreus and his brother lived the land in exile. It was there that Atreus met his wife Aerope and he vowed to sacrifice his best lamb to Artemis, but when he found a golden lamb from his flock did he pick it out to be sacrificed? Of course, lamb be pimp and golden yo, so he had his wife hide it to prevent it from sacrificing it. What Atreus did not know was Aerope gave it to her lover, Thyestes! That's right Aerope was sleeping with Atreus' brother behind his back, but Thyestes had bigger plans to do with that lamb (I know what you are thinking, but there is surprisingly little bestiality in this story) Thyestes then told his brother that there should be something that would decide who would be king. He then convinced Atreus that whoever had a golden lamb would be king of this domain. Just as Atreus was going to say that he had the lamb, WA-BAM! Thyestes pulls that piece of living woolly bling out and is crowned king.
Let it be known that I will take any excuse to post a painting done by Dali
Defeated, but still ambitious Atreus was going to get guidance from Hermes, who told him that he needed to convince his brother to give him a chance to take the throne. Heeding his words, Atreus begged his brother to give him a chance of gaining the throne. Thyestes, probably giving his older the brother the troll face, told him that he would relinquish the throne when the sun moved backwards. Now Atreus might have been thinking, "Well fuck how the hell am I supposed to get the sun to go backwards?" Luckily he would receive some divine help. Zeus himself, playing the troll of trolls, decided to make the sun backwards and it was Atreus who was giving that smile and saying "Problem Thyestes?"
This will show that fiend of a brother
Soon after taking the throne and banishing his little brother, he then found out about that his wife and his own brother had been having a affair. Pissed off he decided to exact his revenge (and in those time payback, was horribly uneven.) Atreus took a play out of his grandfather's book and had his brother's children brought to him and killed, he had their body parts cut up and cooked (save for their hands and feet) Atreus then allowed his brother to return for dinner. And it was after Thyestes had finished his dinner that Atreus revealed what he had cooked for him. To add further insult to injury, Atreus taunted his brother with HANDS AND FEET of Thyestes' sons! (This guy clearly one upped his grandfather) Thyestes immediately fled in disgust, but not before cursing his brother and his family. (Let's see next week how this effects Atreus and his family. (I'll give you a hint, it doesn't end well)

Marvin Jones (center) dropped only three of 54 catchable passes last season according to Pro Football Focus. / Enquirer file photo
Bengals writer Paul Dehner begins his position-by-position analysis heading into free agency and May�s draft by taking a look at wide receivers.
Under contract: A.J. Green (through 2014); Marvin Jones (through 2015); Mohamed Sanu (through 2015); Ryan Whalen (through 2014); Cobi Hamilton (through 2015)
Free agent: Andrew Hawkins (restricted); Dane Sanzenbacher (restricted); Brandon Tate (unrestricted).
Starters: A.J. Green continues to do A.J. Green things and will be paid handsomely for that very soon. He finished with the second-most yards (3,833) in his first three seasons of any player in NFL history (Randy Moss 4,163). The difference this year was the emergence of a No. 2 threat. Marvin Jones ended up with 10 touchdowns and second on the team in yards (712). The developing position over the last two years now contains a combination of youth, stability at the top two spots.
Backups: Most expected Mohamed Sanu to be the break out receiver after the productive glimpse of 2012. He contributed 47 receptions for 455 yards, but not the explosive numbers expected and a fumble in the opener and key drop in Miami turned the tide in two losses. Andrew Hawkins battled injury to miss the first half of the season, but showed his impact when healthy late in the year.
DEEP. Only two years ago the collection of A.J. Green and others attempted to figure out how to take the pressure off the franchise flagship. Now, Jones looks like a star in the making and with Sanu looking to follow in Jones� footsteps along with the electricity in the open field of Hawkins, there�s not shortage of skill. Receivers coach James Urban called last year�s sixth-round pick Cobi Hamilton the most improved player in his room last year.
Second. Of the nine position groups, this one ranks second. They don�t need much help, another year of development among the young players makes it among the most ready for 2014.
Of the 56 receivers who saw at least 50 catchable passes throw their way, Marvin Jones ranked eighth in the NFL with a drop rate of just 5.56 percent, according to Pro Football Focus. He dropped only three of 54 catchable passes.
Don�t expect the Bengals to add free agents at receiver. They will focus on their own. Expect them to keep Hawkins, who is restricted. Brandon Tate could be a 50-50 shot at coming back. If the team can upgrade at returner, they will, and Tate�s lack of contribution at WR means he would be expendable.
A total of 11 players ran 4.45 or faster at the combine. There�s plenty of speed and the Bengals wouldn�t be shy about drafting one. That said, Marvin Lewis himself said they wouldn�t be looking at wide receiver or quarterback in Round 1. More than likely they take a shot at a late-round burner.
Wide receivers coach James Urban on Mohamed Sanu:
�Mo would be the first to tell you it was a frustrating year for him. Results didn�t quite meet the expectations. You evaluate. Were the expectations too high or did we not take advantage of his great strengths he does have?�
