If The Bounce Is Weak
Perhaps the selling has abated for the time being? Lower highs become a concern now. While the market could make a new high, effectively shrugging off the last month's decline, it feels like that would be a very big mountain to climb.
The TIC data was $46 billion, way short of what is needed to cover the trade deficit and down from the March reading of $70 billion. This should be dollar negative and interest rates moved up right away.
I have been generally concerned about less demand for dollars and treasuries for a long time now and while this report supports that concern, the number was so low that I wonder if it doesn't get revised up next month.
If not, yikes that's a bad number.
A lot of people say the selloff in gold means there is no inflation problem. This could be true but the selling in all asset classes, I think, has been more about widespread confusion and dislocation. Further, gold ran up a lot, too much, and so this move down perhaps is also too much and maybe it works higher to the mid or low $600s and then settles down some?
This seems reasonable even if it turns out to be wrong. Even at today's level gold is up a lot in the last couple of years. Could that move up be an expression of inflation worries and that last move up to its high was maybe just a final blowoff panic that has now corrected?
If this seems plausible then the gold move has been inflationary. The other day Art Laffer said there was no inflation and cited computers and TVs as evidence. How often does the average person buy a TV? How often does the average person pay a health insurance premium?

Although I personally tend to think of it as just another commodity it may be that gold is still psychologically linked to maintaining purchasing power by enough people that whether the source of doubt concerns inflation or currency or just a sense that trouble is coming (or already here) doesn't matter; doubt there is, so people retreat to what they believe will hold value. Whatever the reason I am starting to average back in to the stronger miners with proven (and relatively unhedged) reserves in politically stable regions.
This feels like a real pushme-pullu economic environment to me, some elements appear deflationary others inflationary, hard to know where to jump. Regardless I remain convinced we are in a bear market and there will be better bargains later. If I'm wrong (no surprise) I'm willing to pay the opportunity cost.
Heard Laffer's comment on Kudlow & Co. -- silly -- the other guest, Barry Ritholtz, responded appropriately. Ritholtz's group is also looking for a relatively short-term market bounce for the next 4-6 weeks but I'm already pretty much where I want to be in terms of longs, hedging and cash and 4-6 weeks is too short a time frame for me in any case. - 7:54 AM

Barry gets a lot of these multi week calls correct.
Supposedly 1245 and 1260 were support we'll see if they are now resistance.
I will lag, not miss, a whoosh up to a new high I suspect.
As for gold, fair point but peopel do perceive it as currency which accounts for something, I think. - 8:00 AM

Ironically, health insurance premium had double digit increase in 04' and 05', and has moderated in 06', same as tuition, utility bills, etc.
- Bernie said...
I find myself with another comment. I think inflation is a given, because of the energy and commidity prices. The only question is how much.

How often do you HAVE to buy a TV or a computer. Many people have been trading up every few years so the answer to many people has appeared skewed. I have been saying for years that most computer users are not using anywhere near the computer's full capacity and trading up is a status/fashion thing. If times got tough, people may find that their good ole' desktop is fine for a few more years.
I short I agree with several blog writers have noted. Inflation is in the things we NEED to buy and deflation is in the things that are discretionary. That appears to form a good basis for a nice long/short strategy. Buy stocks of things we need and short discretionary stocks (not high end as it will take time for the rich to feel the pinch).
So how about long Walmart short Dell? - 9:12 PM

I have tried many, many different burrito recipes only to be disappointed. This one is a keeper for me. It is delicious and so, so simple! I wasn't sure about the salsa verde, so I substituted regular salsa in this recipe. It turned out great!

Not very tasty...a bit bland. The tortillas got gooey while cooking too.

There has to be a way to empower those of us that do not have the capability to hook up with others. I believe for the game to be successful once released, there has to be a better way to involve those that choose to play alone. I work full time, and hack portals on my lunch break and now, 5 days later, I will probably get to lvl 2 tomorrow but what can I do against large fields of L6 and L7 resonated portals. It is hard to get enthused about continued play with not much else to do...

Re: Playing alone sucks
Ingress is certainly more fun when playing together with others, but there is also fun to be had as a lone ranger. I think its fun to drive into an area with portals everywhere and hack away like mad to store up a ton of items for later use. Keep stocking up and knocking out low-level portals until you get some invite codes to share with your mates or others in your area start playing! Is there an Ingress Community on Google+ for your area? Where are you located? It seems most local meetups and raids go on after dark anyways which would fit into your work schedule at least.

Re: Playing alone sucks
I am in Northern CA, north of San Francisco and am seemingly the sole representative of my faction in my town. I had taken a portal for my team but while I am struggling to build up to L2, it just got taken over by someone who installed L6 and L7 resonators. What's the fun of that, it will be months before I can take it back and it will be part of a huge field by then.

Re: Playing alone sucks
Also try checking around on your The level of zoom has a direct impact on what you see for chatter, so if you zoom farther out, you can try and triangulate where people are active. On your phone you can change your COMMS to REGIONAL and might be able to get in touch with some of your faction members that way as well. In the meantime....keep farming and build your inventory. Try and look for portals that are one or two levels above you, and go for those. Even if you can't take out a portal completely, taking out resonators adds to your AP.

TEAMS: Detroit Tigers, Miami Marlins, Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers, Miami Marlins, Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays
MIAMI (AP) -- Now that he has followed Jim Leyland's advice, Mike Redmond believes he's ready to manage in the major leagues.
The former catcher had his first interview for a big-league job this week when he met with Miami Marlins officials in New York City. Redmond spent the past two years managing Class A teams in the Toronto Blue Jays' system.
Redmond says Leyland once told him that to manage in the majors, he needed minor-league experience. Leyland -- now in the World Series with the Detroit Tigers -- was Redmond's first big-league manager with the Marlins in 1998.
Because of Redmond's ties to Miami owner Jeffrey Loria and president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest, some consider him the front-runner to replace Ozzie Guillen.
Original Story:
Leyland: I'm old, not grumpy
Jim Leyland has been described as a cranky old man on more than one occasion, but he says only half of that statement is true.

Proposition 8 attorney David Boies weighs in on the historical significance of his recent victory in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of prohibiting the recognition of same-sex marriages in California. "Discrimination, bias and prejudice can survive in the darkness," says Boies, "but it can't survive in the marketplace of ideas."
David Boies explains that one of his favorite moments of the recent Perry v. Schwarzenegger trial was questioning Dr. Tam, a Prop 8 supporter.
He explains that even though the arguments in favor of banning gay marriage kept shifting, its supporters failed to see the contradictions inherent in their arguments.
Lawyer David Boies weighs in on how he thinks the Supreme Court will rule if the recent victory overturning California's Proposition 8 is appealed. "We are not taking any justice for granted on this issue," he says.

Re: Thursday 7/12/2012 Minor League Updates
Yeah, good call on Bryson Smith.
No matter what they do from here on out, IMO, both have been very good draft picks by Jocketty and company. Cheap production for farm teams is an underrated and underdiscussed need from the draft. Hitting on guys like Selsky and Smith allows the Reds to ultimately save money (not signing free agents) and provide interest in their minor league product. Smith has the hit tool, no doubt. He's also got a good obp rate-- the 20 hbp really help. Decent power (maybe. Again, launching pad questions there.) What gives me a bit of hope about Smith is that he plays CF. You can afford to drop a bit offensively as you move forward if you can play up the middle. (How well he plays there, I'm not sure.)

Don't Grab a Novel, Read FedViews by the Federal Reserve Bank
December 13, 2012
© michaelkpate
Your kids will be reading a lot more non-fiction from now on. The Common Core English Standards requires 50% of the reading in elementary and 70% by 12th grade to be non-fiction. The Washington Post revealed that there is a lot of controversy over the amount of non-fiction reading.
According to the article, secondary English teachers don't want to teach that amount of informational text. They're upset about the absence of poetry, short stories, and novels, selections that will no longer fit within the required reading.
The Post article says, "Yes, the standards do require increasing amounts of nonfiction from kindergarten through grade 12, [David] Coleman [of The Gates Foundation] said. But that refers to reading across all subjects, not just in English class, he said. Teachers in social studies, science and math should require more reading, which would allow English teachers to continue to assign literature, he said."
Also quoted is English teacher J.D. Wilson who said in the Post article, ""Reading for information makes you knowledgeable — you learn stuff," Wilson said. "But reading literature makes you wise.""
The Answer Sheet lists what texts The Common Core suggest High Schoolers should read.
This linked .pdf includes the titles that "serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with." Here's some of the list from 11th grade:
- - - -

Paine, Thomas. Common Sense
Jefferson, Thomas. The Declaration of Independence
United States. The Bill of Rights (Amendments One through Ten
of the United States Constitution)

Orwell, George. "Politics and the English Language."
Hofstadter, Richard. "Abraham Lincoln and the Self-Made Myth."
Tan, Amy. "Mother Tongue."
Anaya, Rudolfo. "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry."
Informational Texts: History/Social Studies
Tocqueville, Alexis de. Democracy in America
Declaration of Sentiments by the Seneca Falls Conference
Douglass, Frederick. "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?: An Address Delivered in Rochester, New York, on 5 July 1852."

Gawande, Atul. "The Cost Conundrum: Health Care Costs in McAllen, Texas."

The texts are, in my estimation, challenging. Do you agree? Do you think our kids are up for the challenge?
I feel very conflicted about these Standards and am definitely in the group concerned about the lack of fiction and poetry, among other things.

The making of Maker Faire
AUSTIN, Texas--The most important thing right now is to make sure no one gets hit by flying watermelons.
Under usual circumstances, this might be an odd concern. But I'm here in the Texas capital for Maker Faire, and the three organizers--Dale Dougherty, Louise Glasgow and Sherry Huss--just want to be sure that there are no safety issues with the fruit-launching trebuchet that has been set up on the west side of the event.
I've been riding around with Glasgow, Maker Faire's event producer, for a little while, hoping to see what she encounters in the course of … Read more

SNV opened its first Asia office in Nepal in 1980. Then, we were one of the first organisations to reach out to some of the poorest pockets in the far-western Nepal. More recently, we operate in 37 districts through a Country Office in Kathmandu and a Programme Office in Surkhet.
Starting from 2011, SNV has designed scalable and impact oriented programmes within four sectors that are aligned with the Government of Nepal's development priorities. The four key sectors SNV works in are Agricultural and Forest Products; Renewable Energy; Water, Sanitation and Hygiene; and Pro-poor Sustainable Tourism.
Till date, SNV in Nepal has achieved an outreach of some 4 million people, who now benefit from increased employment and income, food security, access to renewable energy, and access to water, sanitation and improved hygiene.

Why 20-Year Market Predictions Aren't Worth Your Time
by Alexander Green, Investment Director
Monday, March 16, 2009: Issue #956
"I have been taking Chris Martenson's Crash Course," writes a reader. "He believes the next 20 years for investors will be nothing like the last 20. It's a pretty scary scenario. Can you refute his facts?"
I don't know Chris Martenson and I haven't taken his course, so I can't refute his analysis. However, I really don't think it's worth anyone's time to listen to 20-year projections.
Twenty years ago, the Soviet Union was occupying Afghanistan. Forget about how much Afghanistan has changed. Today there is no Soviet Union.
Who was predicting that?
- Twenty years ago, mobile phones were heavier and only slightly smaller than a football.
- The Internet – as we know it today – didn't exist.
- We were providing weapons and technical support to a Middle Eastern dictator most Americans had never heard of named Saddam Hussein.
- A young black man named Barack Obama was just entering law school. In his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined what lay 20 years ahead.
Nor can Chris Martenson or anyone else tell us with the least bit of reliability what lies 20 years ahead of us now. Martensen may be a very smart guy. But, I'm sorry, the world just isn't that simple.
20-Year Market Projections With Harry Dent – The Roaring 2000s Investor
My skepticism has nothing to do with Martenson's pessimism, by the way. I was just as dismissive of economist Harry Dent when he published the "The Roaring 2000s Investor" in 1999.
In this bestseller, Dent argued that:
- Baby boomers saving for retirement – and other cast-in-stone demographic factors – made it inevitable that we were headed for an era of fantastic prosperity and booming stock markets for years to come. Describing himself as an "economic futurist," he confidently predicted that the Dow would hit 44,000 by 2008. We now know he was off by 36,000 or so points.
- Dent also argued in favor of Nasdaq stocks and predicted "the technology revolution will favor Internet- oriented companies." Within three years, the Nasdaq lost three quarters of its value and the leading index of Internet stocks plummeted 89%.
- Dent forecasted that Argentina would see "moderate growth until 2015 and then stronger growth into 2025." No, Argentina would suffer a currency collapse and financial crisis followed by rioting, social unrest, and years of economic stagnation.
And so on …
It's obvious now just how wrong Dent was. But back then most investors agreed with him. He sold hundreds of thousands of books and raked in millions as an advisor to top Wall Street firms, including Morgan Stanley.
The Great Bears' Market Predictions
Today it is the great bears' market predictions that everyone is listening to. We're in a depression that will last for years and perhaps decades they tell us.
How could they know this? What kind of crystal ball – excuse me, "forecasting model" – do they have? And what is their track record when it comes to making predictions like these?
I can tell you. In almost every case, the super bears are individuals who have been saying much the same thing for decades or, like Henry Blodget who suddenly materialized as the celebrity cheerleader during the Internet mania, have mysteriously appeared on the scene with no history of success but a boatload of outlandish projections.
I've said it before but it's worth saying again…
- Investment success doesn't come from following the right predictions.
- It comes from following the right principles.
Forget Market Projections – Follow A Long-Term Investment Strategy
Some investors complain that principles like diversification, asset allocation and trailing stops haven't worked. But investors who follow these principles have made out much better than those who haven't. Moreover, you don't judge a long-term investment strategy by short-term results.
As I noted last week, if you bought stocks after the market declined more than 50% during the 1930s, you made a lot of money over the next 10 years – and beat every other asset class over the next 20.
Yet now some bears are growling this will be even worse – and longer – than the Great Depression.
I don't think so. True, the U.S. economy is in a bad way. But, eventually…
- The banks will lend again.
- Companies will hire again.
- Consumers will spend again.
- And markets will rise again.
Granted, I can't predict the next 20 years either. Investors must always live with a certain amount of ambiguity.
But you have a choice. Either you follow time-tested investment principles or you fly by the seat of your pants (or by the seat of some guru's pants).
Personally, I'll take the former. As Patrick Henry famously said:
"I know of no way of judging the future but by the past."
Good investing,
Alex Green
Today's Investment U Crib Sheet
Eventually the papers will stop talking about the crash or the bottom, and focus instead on the recovery. Remember that Mr. Market is a forward pricing mechanism. It isn't focused simply on tomorrow, or the day afterwards.
Instead, Mr. Market is focused on the months, years and decades of our future. And because the outlook for them is going to be considerably more positive than today, the markets will rise. It doesn't matter if we've reached bottom, but rather that there are real values out there.

Brent C Says:
Alex, perhaps you should take Chris' crash course. Your points are well taken, and quite consistent with Chris's. Especially since he is firmly judging a future based on the past as you suggest by quoting Patrick Henry. Chris just lays out the facts; he is very careful to suggest that we devine our own future from them. Facts are clearly a better starting point than fiction – which, unfortunately, is common in today's "news" and financial media.
LITM Says:
Alex does not accept that the World has been ROBBED by sophisticated thieves disguised as CEOs and the like, who are now being supported by the continuing coterie of corrupt or ignorant Politicians and Central Bankers,who are willing to keep them and themselves in office, by screwing the "lemmin" taxpayers.
What is needed is 1. Jail the crooks.
2. Demand Restitution and not release them till all funds are collected, 3. Compensate the injured and jobless meanwhile 4. Let survivors eat the worms. -
John C. Brown Says:
Thank you for a very sensible approach . No one . . REPEAT . . . no one really knows what to expect going forward even during the next 2 to 3 years , much less the next 20 . All the pundits and gurus have their own financial axes to grind and must make hay while the "gloom and doom" scenario is in full bloom .
Charlie Tobias Says:
You are always a voice of reason. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Dr. Roy Dowdell Says:
Will Rogers had the best advice about the stock market. He said, "The way to end up with a small fortune in the stock market, was to start out with a fairly large fortune". He said to buy a stock when it was low, and when it goes up sell it, and if it don't go up, don't buy it.
Russ Furse Says:
I totally agree with your money management techniques and respect your ability in picking good stocks. However, I would like to respond to your criticism of Harry Dent. You make him sound like a wacko. In his books he says he has been consistently correct in determining the direction of a move but not the magnitude of that move. He explains that magnitude can't be done accurately in a book because of events that occur after the book is written. After you finish the book he provides constant updates with emails just as you do. Those have been very impressive.
Don't forget that your buy and hold "Gone Fishin" and "Perpetual Money" portfolios lost a lot and I will probably not make that back in my life time. However, people with higher IQs than either of us did not see that coming.
Regardless, I think you are very insightful. Keep up the good work!
Simon Says:
I agree totally with you Russ.
In fact, because of Dent and his predictions… starting with 'the great boom ahead' in 1993 that I read, I knew to be out of real estate investments well before 2010… and coming up to 2010, to be watching for a market that stopped making new hi's on volitile news as an indicator to transfer all retirement funds in equities into guarenteed investments… all in prepairation for the change in spending of the baby boomers, etc.
I succeeded with both.
That 'Gone Fishin' portfolio and other buy and hold strategies similiar to it… have no exit trigger, incase of a market crash of this magnitude. Dent's readers knew that you need an exit strategy to prepare for… 16 years ago.
Jan van de Linde Says:
I only want to (re)quote a famous saying:
"Prediction is difficult, especially about the future."
Dann D Says:
Chris Martenson has done an exceptional job of comiling data and assembling it in an intelligetnt and easy to understand format. He comments on Economics, Environment and Energy through the 20 chapters of his audio course. IMHO, Chris makes no attempt to suggest that he has a "crystal ball" or be a "guru" regarding future events. He has however done an exceptional job of illuminating a number of key issues that we will all face. I recommend the Crash Course to eveyone I know. http://www.chrismartenson.com
Thank you -
ray yusi Says:
hi Alex,
nice article. i have another view point. dent saw the same data i saw but failed to understand it. it's all about supply and demand of investors. we end up with a 36 year cycle that i have tracked back over 100 years. it has always worked with a minor shift due to interest rates. we have 6 to 8 more years to go on the downside. the important thing to do is remove inflation from the data then it is clear as a bell. if you are ever in the boston area, we could discuss this over lunch. i am a71 year old retired engineer. been investing for 45 years.
Steve Says:
As Patrick Henry famously said:
"I know of no way of judging the future but by the past."
Good article, interesting ending. Considering the aforementioned quote, are we to expect continued corruption on: wall street, the banking sector, the federal government (where has the SEC been), real estate, the automotive industry, etc.?
Larry Graves Says:
I've been a reader of your investment research and information for years both via The Oxford Club and Investment University. I have always been impressed with your insight and generally have agreed with your point of view. I was surprised at your response to the reader who asked about Chris Martenson's "The Crash Course" (www.crashcourse.com)
I hope by now you've had a chance to take a look at it. Martenson does not sensationalize or impose a partisan bias to his examination of the facts. His narrative is all-inclusive, and he makes the point very clearly that in his judgment, all the evidence points to a very serious economic downturn and perhaps a protracted recession. He explicitly does not attempt to predict the future, but does provide some useful tools for the average investor to preserve wealth in a downturn.
I think it was premature of you to assume that he was making specific predictions about the state of the economy in 20 years. Otherwise, keep up the great work and thanks for your insights and opinions.
Tricia Warner Says:
Thanks Larry, Brent C, Dann D and Jim for your replies! I have to say that I feel a bit vindicated now as I had emailed Alex requesting his thoughts (as I appreciate his investment insights) on the Crash Course, which most likely prompted the article. I was surprised that he didn't bother to even familiarize himself with the Course before he fired off on what seemed to be a tirade on the matter. I took it personally at first as if I offended him with such a request. Such a insensitive response seems inconsistent for a guy who appears to live the life he writes about in Spiritual Wealth.
Aaron Gibbs Says:
Mr. Green you just gained my loyalty with this article. As an advisor I have always educated my clients about the strategies, and principles of investing. Such as the three d's Diversify, Dollar cost averaging, and Discipline. These principles work through Bears and Bulls. It is kind of funny how when the bears are out the bull**** comes out to!!!
Simon Says:
Hi Alex,
Interesting article, however i disagree with you concerning Dent. Everyone fully realizes that his (or anyones) exact predictions are very unlikely to come true, after all no one has a chrystal ball… however his logic and stats concerning the baby boomers and how their spending (or lack of) will effect the economy. Both Harry Dent and Peter Schiff were highly ridiculed for their perspective… and I feel after 20 years of investing… seeing what i've seen… they are more correct in their long term perspectives of anyones articles i've ever read.
Jim Says:
I found Chris Martenson's Crash Course to be pretty informative. I know that no one can predict exactly what things will look like, but there are some things that are almost sure to happen:
1. Population will grow
2. Resources (oil, minerals, etc.) will get harder and harder to obtain
We've lived through the easy to get resource period (that's the last 20+ years). Now comes the harder part (the next 20 years). That's all Martenson's point is. He's not predicting a specific DOW or S&P level. Just a lot of changes that don't spell growth like we've seen in the past. -
Bob Says:
Alex, Jim, above, expresses my feeling on markets and the world economy that we will all find ourselves facing, today and tomorrow. I looking for very slow growth, hyperinflation and an lower standard of living for most Americans
Jerry Says:
Martenson is an IDIOT who has stolen the material of real experts like Mike Stathis, the only guy who predicted things to a tea.
Martenson has NO background in finance, economics or investments yet he charges money for his newsletter. He is just another profiteer out there who has fooled so many idiots. What a joke.

< Return To Hearing
September 20, 2006 Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy Ranking Member, Judiciary Committee Hearing on "Revisiting Proposals to Split the Ninth Circuit" September 20, 2006 There are currently three proposals before the Senate to split the Ninth Circuit, one of which goes so far as to divide the circuit into three. We reviewed similar legislation last Congress and I continue to view attempts to alter the structure of our federal judiciary with skepticism. The Bush Administration is now firmly behind splitting the Ninth Circuit, purportedly because of its large caseload. However, none of the proposals before us will result in a fair distribution of workload among the newly-created circuits or among the existing judges. I remain very concerned that these proposals to split the Ninth Circuit are partisan attempts to gerrymander our federal courts by making geographical alterations to suit the political winds. Some may wonder why we are having this hearing in the penultimate week before the end of this congressional session. It is an election year, and unfortunately the Ninth Circuit has been a convenient scapegoat for partisan critics of the judiciary. One significant issue that the Senior Senator from California has repeatedly raised is the substantial costs the judiciary would incur should the circuit be split. The Administrative Office of the United States Courts sent a cost estimate for implementing S. 1845 and H.R. 4093, two proposals that split the Ninth Circuit into two separate circuits. Their estimate concluded that start-up expenses alone could cost as much as $95,855,172, with recurring costs ranging from $13,140,049 to $15,914,180. In a similar estimate in May 2004, the Administrative Office determined that the judiciary could not sustain these crippling costs without receiving significant additional funding. At a time when the third branch is undergoing major budget cuts and the nation is coping with the enormous costs of war, rebuilding regions of our nation devastated by natural disasters and a growing deficit, I find the substantial costs of this legislation problematic. Additionally, unlike the 1980 division of the Fifth Circuit, this proposed division has very little support from the judges of the Ninth Circuit. In a letter to this Committee a few months ago, 373 judges opposed the split that is being considered here today. Almost all of the circuit court judges oppose the split and only 3 of the 24 active judges favor a split. If these proposals to split the circuit were truly about the weight of the circuit's caseload, I would expect at least a majority of the judges affected would endorse one of these legislative proposals. The judges' overwhelming opposition should be taken seriously as we consider this legislation. I thank all our witnesses for traveling so far to be with us and look forward to receiving their testimony. |

It may be a new year, but it's the same old Mother Nature that is with us. And someone once said that every weather proverb bearing the whiskers of age holds a grain of truth.
According to ancient Saxon lore, the trend of the year's weather is influenced by the day of the week on which Jan. 1 falls. This year Jan. 1 falls on a Saturday, therefore a snowy winter, blowy spring and a rainy summer are predicted.
Everything old is new again — this holds true not only in weather but in clothes and food. Every time the economy gets shaky, we get nostalgic for nonshaky times 'tis reported. There's a craving for the good old days — a need for comfort from the past. In the clothesline, gingham shirts, bomber jackets and the gray blazer are coming back in men's wear, and for the women, black-framed glasses, boxy handbags, chunky sweaters and flirty aprons.
And in the food line, there's a strong, growing culinary evolution, the farm-to-table movement. Chefs and home cooks alike increasingly are returning to farms, local producers and farmers markets to buy their food. It's really all about getting back to basics, closer to the way previous generations ate.
One of which is quinoa (pronounced keenwa). About the size and color of sesame seeds, this staple of the ancient Incas in Peru is enjoying new popularity. It can be used in any recipe calling for rice.
Quinoa has a light texture and almost sweet flavor. Unlike other grains, quinoa is a complete protein, is a high source of iron and essential amino acids and rivals milk for calcium content. That is why it has been called "the mother grain."
Tiny and bead-shaped, the ivory-colored quinoa cooks like rice, taking half the time, and expands to four times its original volume.
In small pan, sauté onion and carrot in oil until tender. Add rice and quinoa; stir to coat. Stir in broth and pepper.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, adding the broccoli during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and serve.
In small pan bring quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12-15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat; fluff with fork. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.
In large bowl, combine the warm quinoa, spinach and cranberries.
For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk the oil, orange juice, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir in scallion. Pour over quinoa mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with pecans and serve.
Rinse quinoa; dry roast it in heavy skillet over medium heat until the grains have dried and are slightly toasted. Heat stock, sage, marjoram, thyme and red pepper flakes in saucepan. Bring to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until quinoa is done.
While quinoa cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat; add oil, onion, celery and carrot. Stir, reduce heat, cover and sweat 10 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Remove lid, add garlic, stir and cook until onions are caramelized. When quinoa is done, remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Combine quinoa and vegetables; season with salt to taste. Just before serving, blend in toasted pecans and parsley. Serves six.
all recipes from my files
Note: Quinoa should be thoroughly rinsed to remove a natural bitter coating on the grains.
There's no telling what the future holds, but we should heed the warning and hope for the best while preparing for the worst — and adding something new to our diets even if it is really old.
