APRIL 2008 Cookbook of the Month - Suggestions Gladly Accepted
It's now past halfway through March and I thought we should start contemplating the next month's book.
Last month there were several books that were mentioned more than once. Some, like Batali, the Flexitarian Cookbook, Supernatural Cooking and Jamie Oliver's books got a number of votes and I am, therefore, putting up for consideration again. Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass also got some votes. A couple of votes also for Dean and DeLuca.
I'd also like to re-suggest Breakfast, Lunch and Tea from The Rose Bakery by Rose Carranini as I have made many of her recipes - all very successful.
Let's have some feedback here for April's book! I think that we'll have until the middle of next week (March 27th) until the next culling.
It seems to me that so far, Dunlop has been a great success and there has been a ton of really interesting discussion. The tips and stories about ingredient searches (and substitutions) alone have made it worthwhile!
POSSIBLY OVERDOING IT SUGGESTION: What about a Cookbook of the Month thread for dessert/baking? It could be posted along with the main COTM , but have its own separate thread. It wouldn't even have to appear every month. I would be glad to take this on as well, as the job isn't THAT onerous. Don't tell anybody that it's really a great pleasure.
Let me know what you think of this idea. It came to me because a book concentrating solely on dessert seems out of place outside of holiday season, but it's also great to see what people think about various desserts at other times of the year. I have been loving Pure Dessert's experimentation with unusual flours and sugars.
AS BEFORE....ALL VOTES FOR ANY BOOK MUST BE IN CAPS TO BE COUNTED. Just too difficult for poor old, broken-down COTM Mistress to sift through if they're not easy to see.
Best, Oakjoan
re: kiimy
You're a year late dear. Here's the '09 suggestion link:
This is a reply to greedygirl's question about Roast Chicken in the run-off thread. I'm posting my reply here because oakjoan says it makes it too hard to tally the votes if we do anything other than vote in that thread...
Yes, greedygirl, the cod with lentils recipe in Roast Chicken looked great (well, ALL the recipes looked great, but that looked great AND like it could be adapted to fit my diet), also, the peppers, salmon, and scallops sections all looked like they have recipes that could be adapted, I think, though, I don't get the impression Mr. Hopkinson would be in favor of substitutions or adjustments to his recipes...
re: The Dairy Queen
Actually - not that I have any direct insight into Hopkinson's brain - but, I think he loves food and cooking and I don't see why he'd object. The recipes obviously won't turn out the same way, but I don't think that matters!
The Crab Vinaigrette looks like another recipe that would work - and the Grand Aioli - if you were careful w/ the aioli! But you are right - the recipes are by no means low fat!
re: MMRuth
I can't claim to have any particular insight into his brain, either, but he does seem adamently particular on a few matters... But, I know you've been following his recipes and writing for awhile now, so, I'm sure you have a better sense for him than I do. Either way, adapt I shall if adapt I must!
I saw that crab vinaigrette--it looked good! I think I shall start by making a little index of all the recipes I think could be adapted to fit my diet and go from there...
The "green sauce" recipe in the cilantro section already seems like a must-do. One or two of the egglplant recipes seemed okay... And leeks seem to grow well in the upper midwest, at least on the farm my CSA comes from, so I'm always looking for more things to do with leeks!
Also, maybe when the time comes, I'll post a new thread asking for strategies for lightening recipes that call for butter or heavy cream, as several of his most delicious sounding ones do. I don't know if just reducing the amount of butter would work (for the recipes that call for a lot of butter) or substituting evaporated milk or something like quark would work (for the recipes that call for a lot of heavy cream) or what... I also have been substituing Canadian bacon for bacon--it's not the same, but at least you do get some pork flavor in there without fat. When the time comes (if that's the book that wins), I could use some more help figuring that stuff out if people know of some strategies...
EDIT: actually, I just went ahead and posted a query about lightening recipes here: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/503599
Thank you!
re: The Dairy Queen
I've had the crab vinaigrette at a friend's house - yummy, yummy, yummy!
Do you get half-fat creme fraiche over in the States? I find that's a good way of lightening cream recipes without sacrificing too much flavour. President (French brand) does one which is exceptionally low in calories, but my favourite is Marks and Spencer, but I guess that doesn't help much!
So I'm just asking how this is working; this is still just a suggestion thread, to be followed by a voting thread (and just four days for voting?) Just wondering..... It doesn't leave much time for people to order from the library...
re: DGresh
Oakjoan has posted that she'll post the May suggestions thread as soon as we're done with this one, I think, which should help that issue.
Also, FWIW, I and other hounds try to come up with a list of links to online recipes for the COTM as soon as the threads go up at the beginning of the month, for those that don't yet have the book(s).
re: Gio
Addictive, isn't it? I just went through my Batali books (just in case!) last night and now they're full of post-its.
If the Flexitarian wins (my husband is a like a kid and won't eat all his vegetables), I'm going to cook out of one my past favorites - Sunday Suppers at Lucques. Sometimes I wish we had two months to cook from a book, I never have time to try all the recipes I want to!
re: Gio
Ah - what you need are the reusable tabs - http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/sto... -
This are littered all over my cookbooks, and I move them as needed to mark what I'm cooking - on the side of the page for recipes that I'm cooking from on a given day, on the top for ones I want to try.
re: MMRuth
What a riot! I do exactly the same, but use these even smaller reusable page tags, also Staples. My problem is that I often use them to mark library books, have to remove them all when the book is due, and then find them stuck to some rather unlikely surfaces--including me.
re: Rubee
So would folks like this thread to end tomorrow instead of the 27th?
That would give folks a couple of extra days to order the book from the library. Not much, but every little bit helps.I'll start culling sooner next month. Suggestions as to dates are gladly solicited. Should it be reallllly early? Like the 10th? Then the final vote would be tallied by the 15th.
Lemme know.
re: oakjoan
Hi oakjoan! Yes, I think we should start the voting thread tomorrow (and selfishly because I'm away this weekend and won't be able to vote if we don't!).
I know this same topic of voting earlier was addressed in the very beginning, so Redwood2Bay and Katie Nell had the voting done by the 15th (but I don't remember when suggestions were started) to allow people enough time to reserve from libraries. I also liked having enough time to mail-order hard-to-find ingredients.
re: oakjoan
I agree with *early is better*
and yes do start the voting!
thx oakjoan!p.s. I think the next-month suggestion thread could start the first week of the month, so there's plenty of chat time before ending the 15th. I'd rather see the thread open for a couple weeks, so people who don't look every day can participate. Are there any negatives to having the thread open a long time, or having it start close to the decision for the month before?
I think this would give nice wiggle room for the coordinator's availability and schedule too.
I recently bought this amazing fun book that's french and recently came out in English -- PORK & SONS published by Phaedon. Beautiful artsy offbeat.
(goes against my plea for a healthy cooking book, but still . . .)
More fun than Bruce Aidell's pork cookbook which I gave to a swine-loving friend of mine. -
oakjoan - I have a suggestion, with which you can do what you will, of course. What about voting for April and May using this suggestion thread? Seems to me there are lots of great ideas, and this way people would also have a lot of advance notice for May in terms of trying to obtain library copies, cheap copies on line, and/or putting together on line recipes.
Thanks, as always, for herding the cats (um, hounds)!
re: pitu
I agree with pitu here and think that'd just be too difficult. I'd not only have to ascertain the name of the voted-on book, but the month for which it was put forth. With sometimes more than 100 voting messages....well, you get the picture.
I DO think, however, that I could easily post the May COTM thread as soon as the April one has been decided so that there would be plenty of time for people to arrange for library reservations. I know I just lucked out by having BOTH of Dunlop's books available at my library.
re: oakjoan
No problem! I thought some how it might be easier for you - ha ha! I do like the idea of starting the May discussion thread when the April choice goes up, but maybe culling some of the ideas from this thread, since a lot of people have mentioned different ideas of books/themes they'd like to see in the future.
Thanks oakjoan - not trying to stir up any sh*t!!
re: oakjoan
"I could easily post the May COTM thread as soon as the April one has been decided so that there would be plenty of time for people to arrange for library reservations"
Yes, please. Even if the book is in my library system and not otherwise on loan or hold, it can take a minimum of two weeks, sometimes three, for me to get my hands on it. This would be a big help for me.
re: oakjoan
Then I guess I better wait before nominating yet another author for COTM. Jessica B. Harris has been popping into my head for a few days now. She's a very well respected educator and culinary historian. Sara Moulton had her as a guest many times during that wonderful first program Sara had on TFN in 1997...Cooking LIve.
To quote from Dr. Harris's bio:
" {Although} an associate professor in the English department {of Queens College}, Harris has also devoted her career to cuisine, writing on foods from around the world,{ often } with a focus on African and Caribbean flavors. She has written several books, including The Welcome Table: African-American Heritage Cooking and Iron Pots and Wooden Spoons: Africa's Gifts to New World Cooking. She has also contributed to numerous other books as well as written articles for Food & Wine and The New Yorker among others."
YAMUNA'S TABLE: HEALTHY VEGETARIAN CUISINE INSPIRED BY THE FLAVORS OF INDIA: Yamuna Devi
This book looks awesome -- combining the healthy theme with Indian cuisine. Winner of the International Cookbook of the Year Award from the James Beard Foundation. "Drawing on the vibrant flavors of India, Yamuna Devi has given us a cookbook that reflects her commitment to high-flavor, low-fat, easy-but-elegant vegetarian dishes such as Smoky Eggplant Caviar, Black Bean Chili with Orange-Pepper Sauce, Fresh Figs with Mint Cream, and Melon Sorbet with Sweet Jalapeno Sauce.'I cook from THE VEGETARIAN TABLE: INDIA also written by Yamna Devi, and the results and techniques are remarkable. I'd like to try the abovementioned book also by her. I've learned everything from fast/easy new-to-me preparations of potatoes to elaborate spice blends. We're talking waaaaaay beyond and different from icky prepackaged curry blends. I have just gotten really into grinding my own spices for Indian cooking and I would LOVE to do an Indian book next month. I'd be open to any other authors suggested, but Devi is the only one I know from personal experience cooking with her recipes. :) I checked my local library: multiple copies of YAMUNA'S TABLE available.
A dessert cookbook would be cool, but I like the idea of stretching it over two months. In an effort to be relatively aware of healthy eating, we try not to go too crazy with the desserts, and I wouldn't want to cram too many sweets into a one-month period. I would request that it be a book available from the library. I cannot afford to participate in COTM if I have to purchase books. Breakfast, Lunch, and Tea may be an outstanding book, but there is not a single copy available in my state library system, and I would think that would exclude a number of avid COTM-ers from participating. Please keep the library availability factor in mind so that COTM can be available to all of us.
Thank you, oakjoan, for coordinating this. *
re: foxy fairy
I am very interested in learning about the cooking of Provence and am currently cooking from PATRICIA WELLS, AT HOME IN PROVENCE. Don't worry, MMRuth, it's nothing like Vegetable Harvest......I think I disliked that book even more than your husband. As part of this coming Sunday dinner, I'm making from this book Curried Cauliflower Soup, Carrots Provencal (EVOO, garlic and black olives), and Fresh Lemon Verbena Ice Cream. (Main dish: Coq Au Vin from All About Braising, for those who might like to know). There's also a chapter on breads, which could be fun. I hope that we might, some time in the future, explore this wonderful cuisine.
re: foxy fairy
A two month span for a dessert book sounds like a good idea to me too. I think I mentioned PURE DESSERTS as my first choice for that option, but other ones that would be great would be THE SWEET LIFE by Kate Zuckerman and DESSERTS BY THE YARD by Sherry Yard. Also THE SWEET SPOT by Pichet Ong which has an Asian spin (but melding western ingredients and ideas too). I would say The Last Course too, by Claudia Fleming, but someone said a while ago that it's out of print and hard to get.
(Oakjoan, is it a hassle for you if we mention more than one book at this stage, or is that ok? Don't want to make things harder.)
re: karykat
If we're nominating dessert books, I'd like to second THE SWEET LIFE. I've only made two recipes from it so far, a Meyer lemon curd tart and a spiced apple and sour cream cake, and both were outstanding. And I love the way she explains the chemistry behind the ingredients and the techniques. There are also quite a lot of copies available at amazon.com at very good prices.
Some other ideas for books available in the UK and the US:
BISTRO COOKING by Patricia Wells. I love this book and have had some success with the recipes. The rabbit and hazlenut terrine is particularly good, and not difficult to make.
THE MORO COOKBOOK or CASA MORO. A nice combination of Spanish with some North African/Moorish influences. I've made an outstanding paella with monkfish from the Moro Cookbook, and a fidueas from Casa Moro (like paella, but using broken bits of spaghetti rather than rice).
PLEASURES OF THE VIETNAMESE TABLE by Mae Pham. Just got this after a memorable trip to Vietnam earlier this month. Am dying to try out some of the recipes, and as there are lots more Vietnamese people living in the States than over here, would really loves some advice on ingredients etc.
For homestyle Indian, I really like COOKING LIKE MUMMYJI by Vicky Bhogal. Not sure if that's widely available in the US though. Again, I'd like to cook more widely from this book.
My favourite Italian cookbook after Hazan is PASSIONE by Gennaro Cotaldo (he trained Jamie Oliver). I also like the River Cafe cookbooks.
re: greedygirl
I'm all for cooking from books that are available in the UK and the US--so that the UK hounds can participate, too. I know JoanN wanted to do a bistro book, so, I'm on board with BISTRO COOKING BY PATRICIA WELLS and MMRuth wanted to do a Spanish book, so I'm okay with THE MORO COOKBOOK or CASA MORO. I just looked up Cooking Like Mummyji on Amazon and it's available in the U.S. , from Amazon.com, anyway, but they are out of stock and they only have one copy of her other book, a year of cooking like Mummyji, so, I'm disinclined to vote for that. I would love to do Mae Pham, but, maybe in a couple of months, after we've all worked Dunlop out of our systems, although, I would be curious about Into the Vietnamese Kitchen by Andrea Nyugen, too.
re: greedygirl
PLEASURES OF THE VIETNAMESE TABLE by Mai Pham
greedygirl, I love this book, and a couple of the dishes are standards for me. Hanoi shrimp cakes (which work great either with shrimp/sweetpotato or sweet potato alone), the ginger steamed fish, and the spicey grilled shrimp (I forget what they call both of those in the book.) I haven't made anything from this book that didn't work!
You do need to find fish sauce, but that's pretty mainstream now, no? And fresh cilantro . . .-
re: pitu
There's an Asian supermarket five minutes from my house so sourcing the ingredients isn't really a problem. A lot of the herbs aren't readily available here though, and I'm not sure about morning glory (water spinach). I did find proper Vietnamese fish sauce though, to add to the Thai one I already have (I think the Vietnamese one is more delicate, no?). And the green papaya set me back three quid!
Hello! I'm new to this thread, and as a Brit I'm going to vote for ROAST CHICKEN AND OTHER STORIES. I've had it for a while, but haven't cooked from it much yet (due to a cookbook addiction). Plus I don't think a lot of the other books mentioned are available in the UK.
re: greedygirl
ROAST CHICKEN AND OTHER STORIES - I would really love to do this book if not in April, in the next several months - maybe we could get Harters on board!! There is something nice about doing a book available in two countries like this, and I've had great success with the recipes. I also posted a thread with a bunch of links for his recipes, from this and other books, awhile back.
THINK LIKE A CHEF - again - a book I'd like to see sometime
BATALI BOOKS - game to do Italian again
FLEXITARIAN TABLE/other "healthier" options - I think it's nice to do these every once and awhile, even though it's of a little less interest to me personally (though I'm sure it should be!)
SPANISH - we've not done Spanish food yet - the only book I've used is DELICIOSO by CASAS
INDIAN - also agree with others that we've not done Indian - I love MANGOES & CURRY LEAVES, but have cooked from it a lot and would be up for one of the other authors suggested SAHADI/JAFFREY (forgive any spelling errors).
Oakjoan - thanks so much for herding us so well!!
Edit - I almost said that this is the last from me, but one more thought.
FRENCH BISTRO - I liked that idea too, particularly Hammersley, and am also a big fan (cooking from it tonight) of the BALTHAZAR cookbook.
re: pikawicca
And that's just what I *do* find appealing. I have very little experience cooking offal and would love to pursue it. But you mention only two of 160+ recipes. I've only tried one so far, a salmon in pastry that was simply outstanding. If offal and game don't appeal, there's much more there that might--at least if my one sampling was any indication.
re: pikawicca
I think that JoanN's point was that a lot of the recipes aren't for offal and game. Based on my cooking so far (which as not involved offal or game), all the ingredients were very very basic, fwiw.
http://www.chowhound.com/topics/465381 - further down on this thread are a number of things that I've cooked from it.
re: MMRuth
wait, are you talking about Roast Chicken?
I skipped over the brain chapter, and you can too...
(for those that have not seen it: many short chapters, with 2-3 recipes each)
bloody easy puff pastry mushroom tart for dinner tonight out of that book
in the end, too buttery for me, even served with arugula salad.
I'm too Italian for all that butter. Let's do VEGANOMICON!-
re: pitu
Is that the cepe tarts? I haven't tried that. There are also recipes kind of hidden in the text too.
For others - the chapters include:
Anchovy, Asparagus, Brain, Cepes, Chicken, Chocolate, Cilantro, Cod, Crab, Cream, Custard, Eggplant, Eggs, Endive, Garlic, Grouse (2 recipes)Hake, Kidneys, Lamb, Leeks, Liver, Olive Oil, Onions, Parmesan, Parsley, Peppers, Pork Pieces & Bacon Bits, Potatoes, Rabbit, Saffron, Salmon, Scallops, Smoked Haddock, Spinach, Squab, Steak, Sweatbreads, Tomatoes, Tripe, and Veal.
re: MMRuth
yes, cepe tarts
I used dried porcini (a.k.a. cepes) w/fresh white buttons.
I think the rich pastry crust would be better cut by anchovy/onions...maybe we should have a thread on that book, and see if it evolves into future COM . . .
I'm really going to make an effort to do the less rich dishes in all of these books...-
re: pitu
I did start my own little thread on Hopkinson a while back - you're welcome to join in :-). I loved a green bean salad I made of his - but don't remember which of his books it was from. And, I posted a salad dressing recipe of his that I think was pretty low on oil.
What about THINK LIKE A CHEF by Tom Colicchio?
It focuses on simple preparations and seasonal ingredients while highlighting some fundamental cooking techniques. I know it can be basic and not that interesting for some, but I'm in the mood for easy but thoughtful. Plus, it is Top Chef season so wouldn't it be fun to critique the head critic??!! :-)
About the separate dessert thread, I think it's a great idea! I've wanted to do Lebovitz's Room for Dessert for forever, but I don't think it will ever get chosen if it's the primary book. Since the book is no longer in print, we could combine it w/ his website. I just made his coconut layer cake w/ rum syrup and it was divine! I just checked out Pure Desserts from the library and can't wait to look through it! Unfortunately, my library doesn't carry the Rose Bakery book.
Thanks for all your coordination efforts, oakjoan! You are doing a marvelous job.
re: Carb Lover
THINK LIKE A CHEF is a favorite of mine as well - I think I've suggested it in the past for COTM.
Edit - old thread about it:
re: Carb Lover
Thanks, CL.
Yeah, I've never seen Breakfast Lunch and Tea in a bookstore. I got it from Amazon, I think. I was first attracted to it for the low flour content cakes. You know me....Nigella/Claudia's orange almond cake fan no. 1. She also has a few recipes that are less sweet than usual, e.g., a gingerbread.
re: oakjoan
Ooh, now you've piqued my interested. Low flour content? Less sweet than usual? Is the focus of this book lower carb? I don't have an issue with carbs in the "South Beach" or "Atkins" kind of way, but I do have some issues metabolizing refined sugars and starches, which is why I tend to avoid "typical" desserts. Is this an atypical dessert cookbook?
re: The Dairy Queen
Well, Breakfast, Lunch and Tea is an unusual cookbook. Her dessert recipes mainly cannot be called low fat, as many have butter, but she likes less sweet cakes and cookies and even has a broccoli cake! She uses rice flour, polenta, and nut flours in many cakes. She writes that she experimented with using only the ground nuts, but the cakes fell and she ended up using a small amount of flour.
I think I love the book because it made me dream of opening my own bakery/tea room in Paris as Rose Caranini did. It's also a great book.
re: oakjoan
Yeah, Phaidon is an art book publisher, with a growing line of luscious (beautifully designed with excellent content) cookbooks.
They have Breakfast, Lunch Tea at The Strand.
god help me, I think Anthropologie had stacks of it when it came out....whoops - strandbooks lists it as out of stock, but ecookbooks/Jessica's Biscuit has it for $17.97 . . .
re: pitu
Actually, I was not touting Breakfast, Lunch and Tea for COTM, just discussing it with the person who posted about their love for it.
Sorry if this got misconstrued. OTOH, if folks can find it and want to make it COTM, go for it! I think I actually bought it on Amazon, but that was more than a year ago.
I've just been reading about:
SWEET MYRTLE AND BITTER HONEY THE MEDITERRANEAN FLAVORS OF SARDINIA, EFISIO FARRIS. Anyone else interested?
It's been nominated for awards in two caregories by the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP). The Julia Child Award and the Cordon Bleu Award.
re: Gio
I LOVE that book and have cooked quite a bit from it:
Edit - here's a link to the author's store:
re: NYchowcook
Although a lot of the Sardinian ingredients are hard to find, I also think there are lots of recipes that don't call for them - I'll take another look through the book. There are lots of recipes for bottarga, which I love and can find readily here in NYC, but I'm pretty sure it's also available on line - expensive, but a little goes a long way.
re: NYchowcook
I'd love to cook from it too, but fear that the ingredients will be impossible to find (unless I use the guys online store, I guess). I've never seen bottarga here (heck, bottled anchovies are almost impossible to find) in the almost 4 years we've lived here. But I am definitely intrigued by cooking from that area.
Boy am I confused. Not having seen the Flexitarian Table, I based my nomination on reports from others who have read and cooked from it thinking it would be a healthy choice, although I did a bit of investigation about the recipes within. I can see the value in not having the Molto book in favor of the Babbo, and I'm completely flummoxed over the Hopkinson book. I think I'll just back away from the table and see what the run off will bring then do a heck of a lot more research....
Thanks to all for really interesting comments. -
MOLTO MARIO + BABBO : I think a duo for Batali would work as well as it has with Dunlop, and lots of the recipes from both are online, on the babbonyc.com site, and FN.com
I have SEDUCTIONS OF RICE by Alford/Duguid out from the library, and it's awesome. I love the variety and intense explorations of a theme. I've been cooking from it as a break and expansion from Sichuan.
And I'm always with you for BREAKFAST LUNCH TEA, oakjoan
: )
I think having a multimonth dessert COM is a GREAT IDEA.
How about quarterly for that?
I'd start with DOLCE ITALIANO now, followed by
an all Lebowitz revue, led by ROOM FOR DESSERT later in the summer.
Both have reasonably good online resources, and crackers and preserves and things beyond cake.-
re: pitu
Pitu: Isn't it sad that not more people have heard of and gotten excited about this wonderful book (Breakfast, Lunch and Tea, Recipes from the Rose Bakery in Paris).
I'd suggest that we have a 2 month DCOTM (Dessert cookbook) time frame. I'd agree about ROOM FOR DESSERT, but I can't find it anyplace where it doesn't cost a fortune because it's out of print. Lebovitz' website, however, is great. I really love it.
re: pitu
er, just to clarify, I got the name of the Batali book wrong.
There *is* no Molto Mario book, just MOLTO ITALIANO
Following what JoanN said above about Babbo, exactly because the Babbo book gives more complicated challenges to advanced cooks (mint love letters...mmmmm) and Molto Italiano gives excellent basics, inspiration and *a way in* for all levels with a ton of variety and vegetables and fish and cocktails (and a whole lot of recipes I have not had at home yet), and both of them are very widely available, I think the pair would work well for COM ItalianoI made a perfect silky carbonara with guanciale last night, with Batali aka My Other Mother
I took "Flexitarian Table" out of the library when I thought it might be March COTM. It's a great concept, but despite beetlebug's glowing and excellent reviews, it just didn't inspire me. Same with "Supernatural Cooking." Perhaps I'm just a carnivore at heart, although I've really enjoyed vegetarian recipes from other cookbooks we've done. I also took a look at "Molto Italiano," and though it had some really terrific recipes for everyday meals, it didn't seem as though it would stretch my cooking knowledge or, frankly, be worth the calories. I'd much prefer, if we were to do a Batali, that it be THE BABBO COOKBOOK.
Other books I'd really like to explore are a bistro book, either "BISTRO COOKING AT HOME" by Gordon Hammersly or Patricia Wells's "BISTRO COOKING," ROAST CHICKEN AND OTHER STORIES, by Simon Hopkinson, and at some point I'd really love to do an Indian cookbook. I haven't decided which one, although I have a preference for the classics which points me toward Julie Sahni's CLASSIC INDIAN COOKING, but that's perhaps not the best choice for April since we've just done Asian.
re: MMRuth
Fyi, re; Hammersley, and quoting directly from flap copy: "After training with Wolfgang Puck at the famed Ma Maison in Los Angeles, Gordon Hammersley lived for a year in Nice, leaning everything he could about French bistros. Ever since he and his wife Fiona opened Hamersley's Bistro in 1987, numerous puclications have regularly ranked it among Boston's top restaurants. In 1988, Food & Wine named Hamersley one of the country's best new chefs, and in 1995, he received the James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Northeast."
re: MMRuth
I'm definitely okay with BABBO as our Batali choice. JoanN, I'm just curious, why does it appeal to you more than the other Batali books?
This line from a review I read of ROAST CHICKEN AND OTHER STORIES scares me a little... "his earthy sensibility is guided by French techniques, rich English ingredients and lots and lots of butter." The same review goes on to say that it's a cookbook for an "intuitive cook," which scares me even more! Ha! Anyway, it sounds like an intriguing book.
Edit: also, re: Julie Sahni's Classic Indian Cooking--I'm not familiar with this book. Are there lots of recipes in the book that do not involve curry? Curry is not a particular favorite among everyone at my house...but, if there are lots of other kinds recipes, I could probably work with it.
re: The Dairy Queen
If you are referring to the yellow curry powder - few Indian recipes rely on that - it is a British invention. But if you don't like the "curries" at an Indian restaurant (alhtough Sahni's book is home cooking) you may not like the spices used. Think Tikka Masala, Aloo Gobi, Vindaloo, Saag Paneer for unbiquitous (albeit not the most interesting) Indian curry dishes. They taste nothing like that yellow powder which always has an excess of tumeric to other spices.
re: The Dairy Queen
I prefer "Babbo" to "Molto Italiano" (haven't seen "Molto Mario," but I assume it's similar) because the ingredients, as well as the combinations of ingredients, are more intriguing and the recipes, and dishes, are more complex. I feel it would be more of a challenge. "Italiano" recipes were much simpler, every night as opposed to special occasion cooking. The recipes looked very good; just not very different from what's in dozens and dozens of other Italian cookbooks. I also think the Babbo book is more representative of Batali's cooking since it contains many of his signature dishes. For COTM especially, I'd rather cook from an author's seminal work. I do, however, realize that exactly what makes me prefer Babbo may well make others prefer one of the Moltos.
As jsaimd noted, curry powder is a British invention. It contains fenugreek, mustard seeds, and turmeric, which are rarely, if ever, found in spice blends for Indian dishes. What we tend to think of as curry is mostly from southern India; since Sahni's book is not regional, curry plays a rather small part. In fact, there are only two "curries" listed in the index of "Classic Indian Cooking." But it depends on what it is that your family doesn't like about it. It could be they don't like a British curry but might well like more authentic Indian spice blends. Then again, maybe not.
re: MMRuth
In reply to MMR and JoanN's Messages Above: I now have read about half of Hopkinson's Roast Chicken and am loving it. I do think, however, that there are not really enough recipes in it to make it a candidate for COTM. Maybe I'm wrong here (although I've never been wrong before).
re: MMRuth
Indeed! The trim size is small and the type is smaller than in many cookbooks. And there aren't pages and pages of intro material. It's simply laid out differently from many of the cookbooks we're used to, in which the recipes take up as much space on the page as possible to justify their very high prices. "All About Braising," for instance, only has 112 recipes. Certainly no one complained that that was an insufficient number for a COTM selection.
re: JoanN
I tend to agree with JoanN about Flexitarian table. We have an omnivourous family with a mostly vegetarian daughter, and I thought it would be a great resource, so I asked for it for Christmas. However none of the recipes actually inspired me to try them. If I recall (I don't have the book in front of me) the "vegetarian substitutes" for the "meat" seemed to repeat a lot (and my daughter is *not* a tofu fan). I'd be happy to be proven wrong if this is chosen, but I encourage people to really take a look at the book first.
re: MMRuth
Oh dear. Well, I OWN Flex Table (not to worry--picked it up used about a month ago...) and haven't been inspired to cook from it, but that's not especially unusual for me. I often buy cookbooks and only end up daydreaming about the dishes I might cook, rather than actually cooking some. (A friend of mine who is a cookbook editor told me that this isn't that unusual, btw--he says many people buy them just to read and dream and keep a stack of them on their nightstands and such. Funny, eh? )
I wonder if we broaden it to include Berley's other book (the one that won the Beard award)--is that one more interesting to people?
re: The Dairy Queen
TDQ - please do try some things from Flex Table - I've had wonderful luck with the things I've made. Even my very meat loving and somewhat tofu-averse husband has loved the mains I've made. He even requested the beans in brown butter with tons of herbs to be put into regular rotation. And the tofu with white wine, lemon, etc. is so easy and has lots of flavor.
re: JoanN
This isn't a vote for Flexitarian Table, but I do feel the need to defend it (I'm not suggesting it as a choice because I've worked through many of the recipes and if it were COTM, I would be repeating myself).
To some extent, FT isn't an inspirational book, but it is a cookbook that has easily accessible everyday recipes. I use it as a guide, especially for different takes on veggies. Also, I cook for meat eaters (me included) but I LOVE tofu. This has given me different ways to prepare tofu (other than various chinese preparations). The greatest strengths of the book, to me, are the index and the organization. If I have an ingredient I want to use, I can generally find a recipe where I have most of the ingredients. Also, the seasonal organization is truly seasonal. I started cooking from this book last summer when I had a lot of CSA veggies to go through. In one recipe, I could use three different items. I'm a household of two and every week, I manage to go through my CSA box with a lot of help from the book.
FT has also introduced me to different grains that I don't naturally gravitate towards. I'm a rice and noodle eater. But, I've learned to really like quinoa, farro and barley.
Lastly, I do think it's a healthy book. The recipes are filled healthy grains, fresh veggies and fairly minimal oils. A bit too minimal sometimes (especially in the hot soup recipes). But, I always feel really virtuous when I eat from it and they are always satisfying meals.
re: beetlebug
I'm sorry you felt you needed to defend it. Your reports on the book have already done so brilliantly. It was those reports that excited me about the book, so I was genuinely surprised once I looked it over that it just didn't appeal to me. I can see that absolutely everything you say is true about it. But you and I are in very different situations. On most nights I'm cooking for one and I don't have a CSA box to deal with. And when I'm cooking for more than one, I'm probably not looking for something virtuous. For COTM I do prefer books that are inspirational rather than everyday. But I'm only one vote. Others have other needs that may be similar to yours and that's fine with me. It won't kill me to miss a month or two.
re: beetlebug
I got Flexitarian Table out of the library out of curiosity, and the recipes did look good. But am I the only one that hates, hates, hates books organized by menus?!? Maybe I'm just too brain-washed by standard cookbook organization, but I vastly prefer browsing by categories. If I have a particular ingredient I want to cook with, odds are good I can find a little cluster of recipes using it in a traditional organization, but not a prayer in a menu-organized book.
That said, I was kind of hoping that Flexitarian Table would get chosen as COTM so I could glean recipe leads from you all. (But not enough to vote for it, hence the lack of capitalization.)
re: Karen_Schaffer
Here are some reviews that should get you started:
Those are my nominatins for April.My thinking is that the Flexitarian book, or Mario's would be a nice change from the stir-fry focus of the Dunlop books. Not complaining, mind you.....because I've learned so much about Chinese cooking this month. Many thanks, oakjoan!
FLEXITARIAN TABLE for March
then in summer (July-Aug) a veggie book like Veg Cooking for Everyone. Indian -- Madhur Jaffrey -- and Lorna Sass' Whole Grains would be good in April or May (maybe combined w/ Aliza Green's "Beans" to really get us into some healthy cooking).I'm shocked and pleased to see the list of (great) cookbooks we've cooked through and that it's been since 2006!
I have been cooking a bit out of FLEXITARIAN TABLE and that would be fine, but I think VEGETARIAN COOKING FOR EVERYONE has come up many times. Another one is WORLD VEGETARIAN by M. Jaffrey.
We have never done an Indian book, and I would love to become better in that cuisine. I am open to any book with a INDIAN CUISINE THEME.
We cook a lot of Mexican and would do a D. KENNEDEY book, but that doesn't fit the light theme a lot of folks seemed interested in.
I would participate in a PURE DESSERT thread. I have made several recipes from there.
supernatural cooking and 101cookbooks.com [I've edited my post to demote my vote for Heidi Swanson until June or July when the markets are filled with a bounty of fresh vegetables](here in the upper midwest, the ground is still frozen--personally, I'd love to do "vegetarian cooking for everyone", but not until June when we start to get fresh, local produce. If you want to postpone supernatural cooking until June, too, I'd be fine with MOLTO ITALIANO.)
Also, since April is the month before cinco de mayo, I'd love to perfect some Mexican recipes in April to serve in early May. Since Bayless has already been done, how about a DIANA KENNEDY. ESSENTIAL CUISINES OF MEXICO, perhaps? I'm not really attached to any Kennedy title in particular...
Personally, I would be fine with a separate "dessert" COTM, though, I'm a relative newcomer to all of this, so I don't really have a feel if that would cause a lot of confusion.
Finally, just a procedural matter, but since I'm new to all this, I'm not sure how it works, but will there be some kind of COTM round-up? A general thread to discuss at the end of the month what peoples overall impressions of that month's COTM, and how it compares to other books of the same genre, etc? Whether or not they think this book is good enough to add to their personal libraries? That sort of thing?
Thank you, oakjoan!
re: The Dairy Queen
My preferences out of that list would be FLEXITARIAN TABLE (based on posts by Beetlebug and others) and BATALI (love Italian food!). I'm not likely to participate in a dessert COTM generally (DH gets cranky when I make desserts that he then eats), so I won't proffer an opinion on that ;-).
I'll put in for doing a true English book sometime in the future (not Jamie Oliver).
re: MMRuth
MMRuth--Do your replies need to be in all caps to be tallied?
Yeah, I probably wouldn't participate in a desserts cookbook, either, unless it was a specific kind of dessert cookbook, say, an ice cream one in summer and maybe a whole grains one right now while I'm on my diet. But, I'd be okay with it if others wanted to do one!
I like the sound of that English book you mentioned in the March "ideas" thread--for a future month.
re: The Dairy Queen
This message is in regards to The Dairy Queen's suggestion that we have a review of the March cookbooks of the month on this Board before we move on to the next book.
I think this is a marvelous suggestion! I'll try post a thread near the end of the month with a title that will indicate that it's a place for general discussion of anything about the books, critique, plaudits, etc. regarding feelings we've had about the success or failure of the March cookbooks of the month.
THE FLEXITARIAN TABLE is a very interesting book, and unique in its approach. I also have SUPERNATURAL COOKING and WHOLE GRAINS EVERY DAY, and like them both. However, since a lot of folks want to cook from VEGETARIAN COOKING FOR EVERYONE once fresh produce is available, SC should probably not be considered for April, as it, too, is vegetarian.

re: JoanN
I currently have the Mario Batali book MOLTO ITALIANO from the library, and I'd love to cook from it in April, so that's my nomination. We haven't done an Italian book since the very first month of COTM back in September 2006, and since others are hoping to do a vegetarian/healthy cooking book later in spring when more spring veggies come out, this might be just the month for Italian.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a surprisingly soft, round, delicious wine that, while quite backward and tannic last year, now seems to be up-front, forward, and easy to drink.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The sensational 1995 Monte Bello will rival the great 1992 and 1991.

© Estate of Alexander Calder / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
During his lifetime, Alexander Calder was recognized as one of the most original American artists of the interwar and postwar years. As a sculptor, painter, illustrator, printmaker and designer, he combined elements of European modernism with a unique approach to form that was influenced by his early experiences as a mechanical engineer.
Calder's major contribution to the history of modern sculpture was the mobile, a term coined by Marcel Duchamp. In this new art form, Calder made movement a crucial element, at first by working with motors and then by suspending his sculptures from the ceiling so that they would be set into motion by the movement of air. The mobiles synthesized Constructivist methods with biomorphic imagery related to Surrealism. Two White Dots in the Air is a classic example of this genre, in which abstract shapes that evoke forms from nature such as fins, wings, leaves, or cosmic bodies, are gracefully suspended from curving wires. As these forms shift and rotate in often unpredictable ways, the sculpture seems possessed of its own life.

Protesters in Atlanta speak out against drones
Tuesday - 5/28/2013, 4:35pm  ET
Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) -- About two dozen protesters gathered in Atlanta to protest the use of drones by the U.S. government for spying, surveillance and carrying out lethal attacks.
The demonstrators rallied Tuesday outside a hotel where representatives from academia, industry and government held a technical conference on unmanned aircraft systems.
Protest organizer Bob Goodman of the Georgia Peace and Justice Coalition says that "in the wrong hands," drones can be used for "lawless and destructive" practices.
Conference organizers say the protesters might have misunderstood the purpose of the conference, which they say is focused largely on civilian use of the technology, such as for wildfire monitoring or emergency response.

Are they counting all of the Monday numbers, too? Where do those go?
Something fishy here...
When does Marvel get the rights back to Spidey?
Pull list: Almost every Marvel books, Age of Bronze, Captain Midnight, Some Valiant/dynamite and trying out some image
I can't decide whether or not to watch this movie in the cinema. It looks pretty good, but the reviews have been mediocre at best. I might wait until it comes out on a movie streaming site. Save my money and put it towards Batman.
Trying Netflix? Look At The Alternatives:http://www.netflixalternative.com/ - Streaming Movies and TV Shows Online
If the Disney lawyers get involved it may happen eventually.
It looks like this movie franchise is doing too well for the rights to revert back anytime soon. I think that Marvel sold the Spider-Man film rights for very little and now the film series is going to pass 3 billion when the Amazing Spider-Man finishes it's run. It doesn't seem fair that Sony can have full film rights to the character forever if the deal was so one-sided. I guess there is nothing Marvel/Disney can do to get the character back unless they make some sort of deal to use the character in crossovers, which the producers have hinted at.
Most of the negative reviews are extremely critical of it because it's a reboot. If you can accept the fact that this is a new Spider-Man story, it's a damn good movie. I personally loved it and will see it at least one more time. I'd recommend you see it with an open mind.
Also, Sony/Columbia Pictures may be in financial trouble...so it might not take too long for Marvel to get the rights back.
Actually many negative reviews prove that stand alone movie is good because main complain is itself fact of the reboot.
A certain amount of time has to pass without Sony making a Spider-Man movie.
I think it's rather hard to prove anything that centers around opinion, but my feeling towards the movie doesn't have a lot to do with the first three (of which I only enjoyed the first and third anyway), rather, with the plot of the movie itself.

This refreshing proposal utilises a business class use building fronting Sussex Place with a separate smaller business class use building at the rear of the site with access from the rear. A landscaped garden links the two buildings. The building fronting Sussex Place is seen as a transition between the Victorian mansion flats of College Court to the east and the much taller 20th Century office building to the west. The design will provide a link between the diverse architecture of the two buildings. It also presents a similar concept of intensive frontage development with some amenity space at the rear. The Sussex Place facade, facing north and to the Hammersmith flyover, is largly solid with elements of the facade peeled out to provide slot windows facing east and west, with views away from the flyover. At foor levels below the flyover there are some windows in the solid facade to povide views under the flyover to St Paul's Church and open space beyond. The facade ackowledges both the horizontal character of College Court and its projecting vertical bays, and the vertical character of the office block. The south facade is essentially glazed. The form arises from the need to satisfy BRE standards for daylighting the College Court flats.

Year: 2013
Country: USA
Run Time: 86 minutes
The story unfolded in October 1991, riveting Americans to their televisions. Anita Hill, a beautiful, dignified African-American law professor, was testifying before a Senate committee of 14 white men about the sexual harassment she endured while working with U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Reluctantly thrust onto the world stage when she answered a subpoena to testify, Anita became a celebrated -- and hated -- figure whose graphic testimony was a turning point for gender equality in the U.S. The political firestorm that arose over sexual misconduct and power in the workplace still resonates today. The youngest of 13 children, Anita grew up on a farm in rural Oklahoma, yet received her degree from Yale Law School. In ANITA, she speaks candidly for the first time about her experience during the Senate hearings, as well as her life and work in the 20 years since. Anita Hill empowered millions of people to stand up for equality and justice; now it's time we heard her story. – B.B.

Published: Oct. 17, 2006
Updated: July 19, 2010
The health risks of combination hormone replacement therapy (HRT) documented in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study published in July 2002 led millions of American women who had been taking HRT for menopausal symptoms to abandon the regimen. A more recent study delivered another blow to HRT, showing that women who take it for five or more years run a higher risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's.
Today, HRT may still be prescribed for women with severe menopausal symptoms, especially hot flashes, but long-term use of the therapy is no longer the norm. "We now recommend that women take HRT for only a few years, then stop and see whether symptoms return," says Duke internal medicine physician Lori Bastian, MD. "If that happens, we'll try other interventions."
Because a "cold turkey" approach may aggravate symptoms, Bastian suggests that women taper off HRT gradually. For a non-hormone pharmaceutical therapy for hot flashes, Bastian sometimes prescribes an antidepressant such as Paxil or Effexor.
In the post-HRT world order, what other means can women use to ease their path through "the change"? Soy, with its wealth of estrogen-like substances called isoflavones, continues to earn kudos for its proven power to ease menopausal symptoms. Even though it's a natural product, soy should be taken in moderate amounts, warns Claude Hughes, MD, who has studied soy's effects extensively: "Excessive use of soy may stimulate diseases such as fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer, uterine fibroids or endometriosis."
Regular exercise, including weight-bearing, resistance, and aerobic components, can be especially beneficial during menopause and beyond. According to exercise physiologist Shan James, fitness manager at the Duke Center for Living, "Exercise helps protect bone mass, lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, and releases endorphins that help ease mood swings."
To help prevent osteoporosis -- the one thing that HRT clearly did well -- increasing calcium intake is a key strategy. For those who don't like or are allergic to milk products, says Duke dietitian Marilyn Sparling, green vegetables such as broccoli, kale, and turnip greens, and canned salmon or sardines (with their edible bones) offer a good alternative, as do the increasing variety of foods supplemented with calcium.
Aim for about 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium a day from all sources, including calcium supplements; excess amounts (more than 2,500 milligrams per day) can cause harmful effects. Because the body requires Vitamin D to metabolize calcium, 15 minutes of sunlight daily and/or Vitamin D supplementation are also often recommended.
Bastian and Hughes also recommend that women coping with menopausal symptoms avoid alcohol, which may trigger hot flashes, and give up smoking -- the nicotine in tobacco suppresses estrogen metabolism and can worsen menopausal symptoms. For easing stress, time-honored techniques such as deep breathing and yoga can be very effective indeed -- and blissfully free of side effects.

UDI's Natural Artisan Granola Au Naturel -- 13 oz
Tasty & satisfying
I have found ALL Udi's products to have great taste & to contain healthy ingredients. Their granola is no exception. I prefer this plain variety so I can add my own fresh fruit & nuts. It is not overly sweet, & is great with rice milk or almond milk. It's so filling & satisfying that I occasionally even eat it for dinner!
October 20, 2013
Healthy granola
I was looking for a granola that does not have as much sugar as other brands and I found it in this product. It is sweetened with honey and has a nice crunch. Also it does not have any dry fruit, which I like because I prefer to add fresh fruit.
August 27, 2012
I'm on a "no everything" diet. Slight exageration, but not by much. This granola has few ingredients but is still tasty.

And he's cutting it with surgical precision. With a sound that stays on a mysterious, no label having, sun damaged cassette tip, Nattymari gets a rush out of restructuring what music is supposed to sound like.
Look at that tracklist my z'aggin. Feel the Memphis Buck flavor splashed all over this. The drag editing just jookin and choppin all over your eardrums. NXT LVL SHXT. There are a couple on here that have been eating lately and it is driving the jealous ones absolutely mad.

Devin Hester and son stroll Chicago's lakefront
Thursday, June 02, 2011
It's a privilege to be on the cover of this month's Chicago Parent. Little Devin and I have a lot of fun hanging out together each day, and I'm grateful for the time I get to spend with him.
Check out our cover shoot video of the two Devins!
When I was younger, someone told me that the greatest gift a child could ever receive was time with his or her parents. That's always stuck with me and I do everything I can to not focus so much on what toys I get for Devin, but on how much time I spend with him. That's the most important thing, and the off-season gives me a great opportunity to be with him a lot. I'm thankful for that.
One thing we really enjoy doing with Devin is walking along the lake on Lakeshore Drive. You see the entire world go by, and Devin points to just about everything in his sight.
Navy Pier continues to be one of our favorite destinations because there is so much for Devin to see and do. We probably went down to Navy Pier too late one evening last year because it was past Devin's bedtime, but there was an awesome fireworks display synchronized to music. They do the fireworks displays off Navy Pier every Wednesday and Saturday night.
Another fun place we like to stroll is the Green City Market, located next to the Lincoln Park Zoo. This place is full of locally grown produce. They have all kinds of treats, and Devin hasn't said "no" to many things when we've gone. Once he gets older, I'm sure we'll send Devin to some of the fun events that teach kids about farming. A lot of people picnic down at the market, and it's something we've done, too. I think it surprises some people when they see a Bears player picnicking with his family at the market!
One more thing we might try this year is the Strawberry Festival in Long Grove. It's about 35 miles northwest of Chicago, but it's going to be worth the trip. Devin loves strawberries, and the three-day festival from June 24-26 looks like a lot of fun. They usually get thousands of people visiting the event. They have chocolate-covered strawberries, fruit smoothies, ice cream, strawberry doughnuts and of course, strawberries themselves. I know Devin is going to have fun that weekend.
Devin has a great time in the stroller when we're all together no matter what we do. The walks along Lakeshore are memorable, and I know that's the most important thing.
Devin Hester is a wide receiver for the Chicago Bears. Last season, he set the NFL record for return touchdowns.

St. Clair Co. prosecutor calls parts of metro-east "lawless"
Authorities say dozens of people face drug or weapons charges as part of a crackdown in parts of the metro-east that the St. Clair County prosecutor says are "in a state of lawlessness."
State's Attorney Brendan Kelly says most of the more than 50 people charged are from East St. Louis, Washington Park, Alorton and Cahokia. The three-month investigation, dubbed "Operation Wild, Wild East" was funded by a federal grant overseen by Illinois State Police.
Kelly says the communities where the alleged offenses took place don't have enough policing, and that laws simply aren't being enforced.
Charges pending in hit-and-run that killed Cahokia boy
St. Clair County officials say charges could come as soon as Thursday against a teenage driver suspected in a hit and run accident that killed a 9 year old boy last week.
Authorities located 17 year old Kevin Powell earlier Wednesday afternoon. Police started looking for Powell after they found the vehicle believed involved in the accident yesterday.
Nine year old Fabian Teson was hit while riding is bike near Cahokia last Thursday. Teson died at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital on Saturday. His funeral is set for Thursday, one week after he was struck.
Police searching for teenager in connection to fatal hit and run
Police are looking for a teenager as a person of interest after recovering the vehicle involved in hit and run accident that killed a 9 year old boy just outside of Cahokia, Illinois last week.
The vehicle involved in the fatal accident was found Tuesday morning on Laclede's Landing.
The victim, Fabian Teson was struck while riding his bicycle around midday last Thursday. He died at Cardinal Glennon Children Hospital on Saturday.
St. Clair County Sheriff Richard Watson says they're looking for 17 year old Kevin Powell as a person of interest in the case.
Cahokia-area boy dies after struck by hit-and-run driver
Metro East police are asking for the public's help finding the hit-and-run driver who struck and killed a 9-year-old boy.
St. Clair County sheriff's detectives say Fabian Teson was hit while riding his bike in the 2400 block of Lorraine in the Cahokia area around 12:30 Thursday afternoon.
Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center confirmed Sunday morning that the boy had died. Witnesses told police the child was struck by a late 1990s silver or grey Pontiac Grand Am, Grand Prix or Chevrolet Malibu.
Anyone with information is urged to call police.
Two schools to close in Cahokia, IL
Administrators of the school district in Cahokia, Illinois plan to close two schools in an effort to spare education programs and teaching jobs.
The board is looking to close an early childhood center and the freshman academy. The freshmen will be merged in with students at the regular high school.
Cahokia school guard charged with possessing pot; allegedly planned to sell to kids
A Cahokia school security guard is accused of possessing marijuana with plans to deal it at the middle school where he worked.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports that 29-year-old Alvin Golliday of Cahokia was arrested Friday after police found marijuana in his car. They used a dog to search Lincoln Middle School for drugs.
Golliday is behind bars (Monday) this morning on $75,000 bond.
Fleeing Illinois suspect survives bridge jump
CAHOKIA, Ill. (AP) - Police say a suspect running from authorities jumped from a highway ramp leading to a Mississippi River bridge into St. Louis. The man survived and is hospitalized.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports that investigators in Cahokia, Ill., just southeast of St. Louis, were conducting a sweep Wednesday for fugitives and illegal drugs and guns when the man sped away from police trying to stop his car.
The suspect then crashed on an on-ramp of the Poplar Street Bridge and tried to flee on foot before leaping over a guardrail.
Police say he survived the fall and attempted to hide after he landed but was arrested.
His name and medical status were not immediately available Thursday.
Three accused in metro-east absentee ballots case
BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) - Three southwestern Illinois men are accused of violating the state's absentee ballot laws before a municipal election earlier this month.
Prosecutors in St. Clair County charged 59 year old James Haywood Jr. of Cahokia and August Stacker Jr. of Belleville with one count apiece of violation of absentee ballots. Twenty-five-year-old Steveland Kidd of Cahokia faces two felony counts.
The county's state's attorney, Brendan Kelly, says 27 absentee ballots from municipal elections involving Alorton and Cahokia were challenged and rejected, based on the findings of investigators.
The three were jailed on Tuesday, when Kelly announced the charges. Online court records don't show whether they have attorneys.

Woman & Child Services |
The comfortable, home-like labor, delivery and recovery suites, spacious enough to accommodate family and friends, the calming atmosphere and the wealth of information and hands-on education provided by experienced staff are compelling enough reasons to choose East Jefferson General Hospital as the venue in which to have a baby. But the two most important reasons women choose Woman & Child Services are our outstanding physicians and highly credentialed nurses. By incorporating the latest research on prenatal and infant care including the benefits of skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding and other essential techniques into our services, Woman & Child Services at East Jefferson General Hospital ensures the best possible health for newborns and their mothers. Building the Bonds of MotherhoodEast Jefferson General Hospital now stands among the leading hospitals in America in promoting rooming in, skin-to-skin and other programs designed to strengthen the immediate bonds between mother and child. Recent studies have shown strong benefits to both the mother and the baby if they spend time with one another and touching rather than housing the baby in a nursery and allowing them to "visit" with mommy occasionally throughout the day. That is why you will find our new baby nursery either mostly, or entirely empty. Those babies are where they belong, and want to be...with mommy! |
