Recipe: The Vegan Italian Hoagie! »
Growing up in Philly, I ate plenty of hoagies in my pre-vegan days. Italian hoagies were my jam especially so when I saw that Diaya was coming out with provolone slices, I was like, "this is it! It's hoagie time!" And god bless me, my vegan hoagie turned out out of control delicious!
You too can make your own Italian hoagie, here are the supplies you will need:
-Italian Amoroso-type roll (I found one at the deli at the regular grocery store—had cornmeal dust and all)
-Vegan mayo (I used Earth Balance)
-Daiya provolone
-Veg salami (I used Viana Velami, got this and the Daiya from Vegan Essentials)
-Iceberg lettuce
-Pickle slices
-Olive oil
-White vinegar
Slice your roll along the side (not the top like crazy Subway) and spread the mayo inside. Place your meat and cheese slices like so:
Then slice your lettuce and onions. BTW this is prob the only time I will ever recommend iceberg for anything. Don't tear it or anything, the lettuce should be sliced into strips like these:
And I just sliced the onion similarly. Sprinkle ample amounts of lettuce and onion on top of your open sandwich. Then top with pickle slices.
Sprinkle a little of your oil and vinegar on top. Then the salt, pepper, and a dash of oregano.

Vegan Dog Chews: Puppies say "yum!" »
When I tweeted about Figgy's appreciation for his new vegan pig ears, a bunch of people responded. I understand why—it's hard to find a good veggie chew! And I've read chewing is a natural habit for dogs that relieves boredom and stress, and can help clean their teeth. My Figaro doesn't really care for chew toys nowadays—if he can't eat it, he's not interested. So I've done a fair amount of searching for the perfect edible vegan dog chew. I don't know if I've found perfect, but I've found some good stuff. And it's all Figgy approved!
Here are the pig ears you can see Figgy devouring in the top pictures. They are from Vegansaurus friend Vegan Essentials. Fig LOVES them. The only prob was one didn't last that long. It lasted about ten minutes. That's longer than it used to take him to eat those yam chews though. And like I said, he really liked it, so these will be a regular in the Figgy treat rotation.
This is a long-lasting option that is vegan, as far as I can tell: Paragon crocodile dog chews (there are hedgehogs too!). You can buy these at Figgy's friend's store Nip and Bones. The issue with these is that I don't think they're super flavorful but that may be why they last so long. It seems like Figgy likes to carry these around more than chew on them—but whatever keeps him happy! He even tries to take them with him on walks, so silly. And he does eventually work his way through them so it's a nice little chew.
I'm sure you've heard of Sam's Yams; well Fig is totally over those. They had a good run, but they only lasted him about five minutes anyway. But then I discovered these Sam's Yams bones and Fig will actually condescend to eat these! I don't know if the chamomile makes him calm but as chewing is a stress relieving activity, it must do something regardless.
Here's a nice bone Figgy likes, the peanut butter Booda Bone. He's not obsessed with these, but he enjoys them. I emailed the maker and they said both the peanut butter and mint bones are vegan. Fig likes the peanut butter ones.
This isn't actually a chew but these deserve a mention. When I first got Fig from the PSPCA, he was a skinny-mini and liked any treat he saw. Now he's a fatty and he's so snobby about treats! He is totes over your dry biscuit variety; it's all about moist, chewy treats. For that I recommend Paw's Gourmet Chunky Chewies. Figaro loves these. They're just made of peanut butter, molasses, and oats; so you could probably make them at home but bleh, I hate making stuff (though if you have a recipe you've tried and liked, send it and I'll link it). If you are not opposed to honey, these little molasses bits from Paw's Gourmet are a great size and also nice and soft. But the Chunky Chewies are honey-free.
Last but not least, don't forget about a good old Kong toy filled with peanut butter. You can freeze it with the peanut butter inside to make it last a bit longer. You can find Kong just about everywhere. Again, not a chew; but this is good activity and sure to relieve boredom.
There you have it! To all those dogs who think chewiness is next to godliness, there's sure to be something here for you.

Product Review: Nutty Cow Vegan Ricotta! »
Now, I don't know what's on the market these days in terms of vegan ricotta, but it doesn't matter. I just tried Nutty Cow's ricotta, and it's all that exists to me.
I hate to admit this, but I really wasn't sure what to expect when Carla of Nutty Cow approached us to sample this product. Vegan cheeses are sometimes great, but most of the time, kind of weird. However, I could tell I was going to like their cheese when it arrived in the mail just by the packaging—the logo is so well done!
Being hungry and impatient, I opened one of the three containers immediately and ate it with crackers.
I realized then that this wasn't just any vegan cheese product. It was special. And though it's made with nuts, the texture is so soft and creamy! I knew I'd have to hold back on the remaining two packages and make something incredible.
Carla suggested I make lasagna, which is a dish I haven't made in 10 years! I was like, "all right," but really I was just going to lazily spread it over Whole Foods spinach Florentine raviolis. Then I got inspired to fill large pasta shells with the cheese and bake it with my winning combo of spinach, mushrooms, garlic and caramelized onions. Fate was on Carla's side, as I couldn't find the shells I wanted at the store. Lasagna it was gonna be.
Boy, am I glad I made lasagna.
Nutty Cow Ricotta made this lasagna. I should not have indulged in cheese and crackers earlier in the week so that I could have topped my dinner with the ricotta—or at least added another layer to the lasagna! Oh, well. The ricotta was so creamy and delicious! My roommates and I loved it, one of my roommates being a new vegetarian and the other an omnivore. It's awesome when my omni friends and family like vegan products as much as I do.
"Where can I get this Nutty Cheese?" you ask? Carla says, "We are so excited to be launching next month (fingers crossed), September at the latest. It will be available at Veganessentials.com [a Vegansaurus supporter!] and several stores in the Midwest (so far). We will be announcing stores as it becomes 'official' in the next few weeks on our FB page and have been encouraging everyone to 'like' us or at least check in on the page to see where we will be available. Also, we will be at Expo East in September in Baltimore and hope to have wider distribution after the show." So there you have it!
*I find that the attention to detail in the artwork usually means a superior (albeit sometimes more expensive) product. This is not always true, and graphic designers DO NOT COME CHEAP.

Holy Cow vegan M&Ms! They are the yum. I got them from Vegan Essentials last week and they are SO GOOD. Like real M&Ms! They take a little longer to melt and I think the shells might be a bit crunchier but not in a bad way at all. And the chocolate is probably actually better because it's not uber-sweet milk chocolate. Milk chocolate is for babies, am I right?! I'm always right!

Nacheez has a television commercial! How exciting and super adorable, right? Do you want to know more? We asked Ilsa Hess, Nacheez chef and creator extraordinaire, all about it!
Vegansaurus: How did this come to be and when do we get to see it on our airwaves?
Ilsa: The Sacramento Art Institute contacted me out of the blue and said they were starting their commercial video production class and wanted the students to work with actual businesses to get a real-life experience. So, they contacted about eight different small and local small businesses and I was one of them!
Right before we started meeting the students, the professor came to me and said that he had given the students a pop quiz. The student who got the highest score was able to pick the biz they wanted to work with. The winner chose Nacheez! I was so flattered!
Samuel Platz (the winning student) and I sat and talked Nacheez…. He shot the commercial, created the music and graphics, had a budding voice-over professional read the voice-over, and local budding actors be in the video. When I saw the end product, I was blown away yet again! He treated me with the utmost professionalism but was also very friendly at the same time. I recommend him to anyone who needs a great TV commercial. I'm holding off to air my TV commercial until I'm in more stores across the country. I'm hoping with some more exposure, that can happen soon!
Got that everyone? We gotta get Nacheez in more stores so Ilsa will air her commercial! Do it! Demand Nacheez at your local vegan-friendly supermarket! Also, buy it where it's already available (Rainbow, Vegan Essentials, Nacheez) cause it's goooooood.

Vegan nacho cheese: a love story, I mean taste-off »
I was on a mission. A mission to gorge out elegantly eat every new vegan cheese on the market. For you! My most unselfish venture ever! To let you know, as the vegan consumer, where to spend your hard-earned dollars!
In the ring:
Food for Lovers Vegan Queso
Nacheez (mild and spicy versions)
Here's what I have to say. If you are looking for a fight, go watch Rocky. Or The Fighter — it's totally streaming on Netflix right now—'cause I only have great things to say about both products.
Here's how the taste-off went down. Sarah M. Smart came over with a bag of chips. I had the cheese. We ate.
Food for Lovers
- Spicy. I have a high tolerance, and didn't notice until the roomie tried some and cried out "Whoo! That has some kick to it!")
- Made in small batches by Crystal and Chris Tate in Austin, Texas.
- Every time I eat it, I think I belong in Austin. (SXSW!)
- Would bring it to a Superbowl party. Or somewhere there are sports. I don't know. It has that taste to it. The only bros I know watch Star Wars, so I'd bring it to a screening of that. Non vegan guys would scarf this down. And not know it's vegan.
- Has gluten. Sorry, celiac sufferers.
- Has nutritional yeast in it. I'm a vegan who dislikes nutritional yeast. NOT ANYMORE! I love this product! Cheesy, spicy, plus the tomatoes and peppers within taste fresh.
- No need to heat up. Can be eaten at room temperature.
- Comes in spicy and mild flavors! Spicy is good for me, mild is good for a dish like, mac 'n' cheese. Or my mom, pepper is too spicy for her.
- Doesn't have gluten.
- Made by Isla Hess in Sacramento, Calif.
- Every time I eat it, I feel like maybe Sacramento isn't a such a bad place after all. Maybe as a vegan, I could have a life out there.
- With this product, I imagine my girlfriends coming over, talking about things we do, putting on avocado face masks and making chili cheese tofu dogs without FEELING GUILTY! Cause Nacheez has so few calories with mucho taste! Bikini body, here I come. (Not. I just drank a six pack)
- OK, I love road trips. I miss gas station nachos. Nacheez brings me back.
- Has to be reheated. Not room-temperature friendly. But you own a pot and have a stove top, right?
All in all, both are worth your hard earned dollars. Food for Lovers is definitely a queso in the most delicious form ever, whereas Nacheez fills the void of the nacho cheese you've been missing.
Nacheez mac 'n' cheese:
What happens when Sarah M. Smart and I drink Trader Joe's-brand Corona and wine:
Thank you so much Isla Hess, and Crystal and Chris Tate for providing your delicious and amazing products free of charge!
Both vegan nacho cheeses are available at Rainbow and Vegan Essentials.

Product review: Nacho Mama's Vodoo Queso »
On my quest to try every vegan queso created, I stumbled across Nacho Mama's, based in Austin, Texas. Creator and chef Alana was gracious enough to send me two jars of her new Voodoo Queso to sample (and then review)! It's SO TASTY AND DELICIOUS OMG YOU GUYS, GET SOME. The first jar did not last long—I ate more that half of it, straight from the jar, the night of their arrival. Okay, okay, I let my roommate have a spoonful.
What makes Voodoo Queso different from her other flavors is the addition of black beans. It's like a spicy, cheesy bean dip. Beware—this dip has kick! Definitely not for the faint of heart. I, however, can handle my spice.
I felt like I should make something with it, not only to prove I have self-control but to show everyone an example of how to use it. So, I made a burrito with black beans—kind of unnecessary, since the dip already contains them, but I was HUNGRY and wanted to make the queso last—Voodoo Queso, and avocado. YUM.
Alana, in an email to me, explained "I use it to replace meat in lots of Mexican dishes. Tacos, Tostadas, Enchiladas…but my favorite, aside from on it's own with chips, is a layered dip with our regular vegan quesos. Snack heaven!!" Yes and Yes. I wish I could make her product last long enough to make all of those things! It's JUST TOO TASTY!
Seriously, you guys will probably want to pick up two jars. Prepare to be blown away. And consider this—it's not only extremely delicious, but has no fat, no gluten, no soy, no nuts, no cholesterol and no allergens!
If you live in Texas or the surrounding Southwest states, chances are you can find this at Whole Foods. For now, the rest of us have to get it from Vegan Essentials! Fine by me—vegans helping vegans, yo.

Koppi was founded in 2007 by the Swedish barista champions Anne Lunell and Charles Nystrand. The roastery and coffee bar, situated in the heart of Helsingborg, offer coffee experiences out of the ordinary.
Our ambition is to be one of the best roasters in the world and our aim is always to buy, roast, brew and serve coffee from the worlds best coffee producers.
Direct Trade Coffee
We strive to buy the world's finest coffee through as few intermediaries as possible and co-operate with small and passionate producers, who care for their crops, their co-workers and the environment.
Through our yearly visits to the farms, we strengthen our relationships to the producers and are given the opportunity to pick the best lots from every new harvest.
Buying our coffee directly from the producer or through as few distributors as possible not only gives us the possibility to ensure that the producers are paid well and the working conditions are fair and just, but it also gives us a deeper knowledge of the production line and the coffee as a product.
Roasting the coffee with care and love
We want to get the most flavour, aroma and terroir out of each coffee. By adjusting our roasting profile for each coffee we are able to bring out all the delicate flavours, notes and aromas that are characteristic to each varietal, processing method and origin.
Brewing and serving our coffee in a state-of-the-art fashion
A lot of time and passion is put into refining our brewing techniques. Our aim is to serve every cup of coffee in the best possible way.
With a welcoming and competent team we do our best to give our guests a memorable visit to Koppi. We're not only hoping to be a source of knowledge and give our guest an extraordinary coffee experience, but most of all a place where you want to spend time and where you feel right at home.

As the curtain comes down on drupa 2012, we're delighted to report that the event was a huge success. As expected, drupa cemented its position as the world's largest, most important B2B trade fair in its sector. And we want to thank all of you who joined the drupa community for making this drupa a successful edition.
During the last two weeks around 314,500 print professionals from 130 countries descended on Düsseldorf to see the latest cutting-edge print innovations on display by 1,850 exhibitors. Against this backdrop we've seen a change in the type of drupa visitor – this year delegates were typically top managers. The proportion of business decision makers has grown to 51%, up from 44% on 2008's figure. The number of foreign visitors underlined drupa's international appeal, with the event attracting more than 190,000 foreign delegates. The press box was also a very international affair, with around 2,400 journalists representing 75 countries.
One of the most hearting trends to emerge from drupa 2012 is that capital investment appears to be returning to the print industry, as many sales were made during the show. Clearly, many companies believe the worst of the downturn is behind them, and are more confident in investing in the future. Equally encouraging is exhibitors' reports of the number of strong leads generated. There's certainly much optimism that many of these leads will be converted into sales in the coming weeks and months.
When it comes to the major themes, drupa 2012 was dominated by automation, packaging printing, digital printing, hybrid technologies, web-to-print applications and environmentally-sound printing. Interesting trends that were also clearly reflected in the great feedback we received on the drupa Cube program and the drupa Innovation Parc. Make sure to check out our compilation video including the drupa team's favourite highlights.
And now? Well, we're taking your feedback with us to the 2016 edition of drupa, so we can further tailor the formula to your needs. So shake off the PdSS (Post drupa Stress Syndrome), recharge those batteries and don't store away the #drupashoes too far. Before you know it, #drupa will be just behind the corner.
Don't forget that we're keeping the official drupa social media channels going – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Xing – so you can continue sharing your experiences of what was and will continue to be an amazing show!
And thanks again - it is you (exhibitor, visitor and press alike) who makes the drupa magic happen!
drupa 2012 - thanks to you all!

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Life: Don't just live it, seize it! Drive it! Push it to the max! For what's a life that's merely there? Ryan Dobson, building off the call to die to self, the foundation he set in To Die For, expands now on the thrill of uncovering the reason for your life and living fully for God. This book explores the many dimensions of a life that's sold-out for Jesus. It's one that involves laying down your pride, increasingly trusting God to have His way with you. It involves motion—constant and purposeful progress, courageous risk taking, always loving, and forever giving, giving, giving. Because once you're committed to serving God twenty-four seven, no questions asked, the next step is a nonstop, breath-taking adventure: living for Him…every time, ALL the time! You gave up your life for the sake of Christ, but you can't just stop there. Now it's time to really come alive. Try an honest, raw and real, deeper, more passionate pursuit of Jesus Christ. Building on the call to die to self in To Die For, Ryan Dobson explores now what's truly worth living for. Discover the reason you're here and begin taking the kind of risks that continually propel you toward a deeper, more meaningful existence. It's an irresistible life marked by pure, unencumbered passion. Story Behind the BookTo Die For emphasized the importance of dying to self in order to live fully for Jesus. But what about that full life in Christ? This book is the necessary "part two" that launches readers full-speed-ahead into the only life truly worth living. Ryan's heart for the younger generation, and his extensive contact with them as he travels around the country for more than 100 speaking engagements a year, qualifies him to speak with authority on the subject and to meet readers right where they're at.

For the second week in a row I was able to watch
Chris Stratton
pitch, this time taking on talented 2013 RHP
Bobby Wahl
and Ole Miss.
Stratton pitches extremely efficiently, pounding the strike zone with his low-90s fastball and polished slider. His slider looks and feels like his fastball out of his hand before diving down and away from RH batters, making it an extremely effective pitch. His fastball can touch the mid-90s, but typically sits at 90-93. He works quickly and has a very clean arm action with easy, repeatable mechanics. I don't think he's projects as a staff ace, but it's hard not seeing him enjoying success, and moving quickly, at the next level.
Wahl is a pure power pitcher as noted in previous threads. He has very good size/stature and is very aggressive, attacking hitters with his fastball and a pretty good slider of his own. He'll be fun to watch between now and this time next year.
Alex Yarbrough
, Ole Miss' 2B, is having a very good season at the plate. He has long, tapered proportions and sloped shoulders with room to add some strength. He has a pretty quiet setup at the plate as a LH hitter, with a clean and easy stroke made for hitting line drives up the middle and to the gaps. I'm not sure how much HR power he has at the next level, but he's pretty advanced as a hitter with good patience and a solid overall approach.
Hunter Renfroe
for the second week in a row showed one of the best OF arms I have ever seen. He's a big, powerful guy, and while he's not hitting the greatest as of late, his arm is clearly a plus-plus tool.
Tyler Naquin
and Texas A&M took on Texas over the weekend, and playing a few wild, hotly contested games. Naquin isn't a physically imposing presence, but he is a heady ballplayer that is polished both at the plate and in the OF. He has good, not great speed and a good, not great arm. He showed the ability to take solid routes on fly balls playing RF, and it will be interesting to see if he can stick at CF as a pro, where I'm guessing he'll be playing. He has a smaller frame with sloped shoulders and a slender lower half. Like Yarbrough, there's some room to add strength, but he's probably not going to get too much bigger than what he currently is. He is very quick down the 1B line out of the box, and handles the bat well as a LH hitter. He did a nice job laying off soft stuff from a Texas LHP that came in to face him in the 9th of Saturday's game, waiting for a pitch he could drive, which he did to the opposite field for a 2-run HR. Last summer I saw him drive a pitch to deep CF for a booming 2B, a hit that left a lasting impression with me. Power is the biggest question with Naquin, particularly when it comes to where he projects to play. There is clearly power in his swing, it's just a matter of tapping into it more often as his approach is to sting the ball hard up the middle and to the alleys. That approach will serve him well, as hitters like this as amateurs often discover their power at the next level as they continue to progress.
Erich Weis
is a tall, skinny LH hitter that takes a ton of pitches at the plate. He has a line drive swing, although I'm not sure how much power he'll develop, and he had a rough day on Saturday at 3B, committing 3 errors. He's another player I saw last summer with Team USA, although I need to see more of him to have a stronger opinion of what he's capable of.
Jonathan Walsh
is a player I really liked after
watching him play
in the 2008 PG/Aflac All-American Classic. He just sneaked into my rankings of the
top 75 prospects
in the Northwoods League last summer despite not putting up big numbers, and overall some have questioned his dedication to the game since arriving on Texas' campus. It seemed clear to me just by watching a handful of ABs so far this year that he is taking a different approach to the game, as he was much more intent at the plate to drive the ball with authority, working the count to get a pitch he could hit hard. He has a good approach with a good stroke from the left side of the plate.He had a really nice AB in the 4th inning of Saturday's game, fouling off a series of pitches from Ross Stripling before drilling a sinking fastball that hung up a little over the RF wall for a solo HR. He also hit a rope to RCF in the 1st for a single. He has good size and strength, and his more confident approach to the game should get him more looks come draft day.
Speaking of
Ross Stripling
, he's a good, well proportioned athlete with the ability to pound the strike zone with a sinking upper-80s fastball that peaks in the 90-91 range. He also commands a solid curveball very well and a fading changeup. He works quick, and while he's not over-powering, he's not a nibbler either, going right after hitters showing confidence in his ability to throw strikes with any pitch in any count. He reminded me of former LSU RHP Austin Ross.
Hoby Milner
is a LHP for the Longhorns, and another player I saw play for Team USA last summer. He's very thin, particularly in his limbs through his wrists and ankles, but there is strength in his core. He has a deceptive, low 3/4 delivery with a fastball that usually sits 87-91 but has the ability to touch a few ticks higher on occasion. He also can snap off a pretty good slow curve. Even if he doesn't start at the next level I could see him having success as a reliever. He should be very tough on LH hitters, but has good enough stuff and command to get RH hitters out as well.
John Curtiss
is a freshman RHP and a big part of the Longhorns' promising young team. If it weren't for his Texas commitment he could have gone a lot higher than the 30th round (Rockies) a year ago. He has been used predominantly as a reliever this year, not uncommon for young pitchers on Augie Garrido's teams, but should be a fixture in the starting staff in the years to come. He creates deception with a little herk/jerk to his delivery, with good size while working quickly. He pitches aggressively with his sinking fastball that sits in the low-90s. When ahead in the count he'll show a sharp slider that break hard and away from RH hitters, but he didn't show the ability to drop the pitch in for strikes as well, at least not in Saturday's game. He has touched the mid-90s in the past, and as he progresses as a pitch he could be a premium pick in the 2014 draft.
Virginia is rolling right now, sweeping Miami over the weekend with yet another solid, well built team from top to bottom. It took a little while for
Branden Kline
to hit his stride making the conversion from closer to starter, but he has been pitching much better as of late. He didn't have his best appearance on Saturday, but still pitched well enough for the win in a game that started with a steady rain. Despite the rain Kline did a pretty good job throwing strikes with his boring fastball that sits in the low-90s and can hit 94-95 at times. His slider is a plus-pitch, with very sharp, late break while using the same arm action and having the same trajectory out of his hand as his fastball. I really liked the way he paced himself, as I noted
in my notes
from the College World Series last year that I didn't see any reason why he shouldn't be starting this year despite being such a dominant closer. He also has a solid change, and is a very good, well proportioned athlete that should have no problem sustaining his velocity late into games as he continues to progress as a starter. I definitely liked Kline on this day a lot more than the last time I had seen him pitch.
The same can be said for Miami RHP
E.J. Enicosa
, although I would much rather see him in a starting role than to be used as a closer. Enicosa will have to watch his conditioning, with a low waist and a thick lower half, and he employs what I describe as a "lazy" delivery in that he doesn't get his full body into his delivery and lands upright. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. There is deception to his low 3/4 delivery, which helps make his fastball that much harder to hit. His fastball has significant sink to it, and is one of the single best pitches I have seen this spring to go along with Austin Maddox's slider and Marcus Stroman's fastball/slider combo. The pitch sat in the low-90s and peaked at 94 according to the broadcast. That pitch alone gives Enicosa promise. He's not dynamic enough to be a closer at the next level, but could be a very effective set-up man, although he'll likely be given the chance to start.
Virginia's lineup has several bats that have pro promise. Shortstop
Chris Taylor
has taken over the leadoff spot and fits well in that role at the college level. He has a solid, line drive approach although doesn't have the strength in his swing or overall slender frame to be considered much of an extra base threat at this point in time. He's a gamer that plays the game the right way and is an asset on defense.
Stephen Bruno
Jared King
are very similar hitters and overall players with shorter, compact and strong builds. Both look to hit line drives and are proven run producers. Bruno has a higher upside as a pro given that he has more defensive versatility and the ability to play 3B, or corner OF spot and possibly even 2B. Bruno has really improved this year, somewhat similar to Walsh, in that he looks much more confident this year.
I've already written about
Derek Fisher
this year, but he is definitely going to be a premium pick coming out as a college junior in two years. I've put a comp of Jay Bruce on him in the past, and that still definitely applies. Fisher already is a physical specimen and he should continue to fill out. Despite his size he still has good speed and flexibility. He takes aggressive swing at the plate looking to drive the ball, and is hitting cleanup now for the Cavaliers, leading the team in both home runs and triples.

[JURIST] US District Court Judge Martin Jenkins [profile] ruled Friday that there was not enough evidence to sustain many of the counts against former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko [Wikipedia profile]. In a complex trial that ended nearly one year ago, Lazarenko was convicted on 29 counts of extortion and laundering money through California banks. Fifteen of the 29 counts were thrown out by Jenkins but prosecution and defense attorneys had divergent assessments of the ruling. Defense attorney Daniel Horowitz called it a "tremendous victory" while a prosecution spokesman stressed that the most serious charges of money laundering were affirmed. Jenkins set a June 23 court date for Lazarenko's sentencing. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Attorney General Alberto Gonzales [official website] announced Friday, while acknowledging National Missing Children's Day [DOJ press release], that a new federal website would provide state-by-state information on known sex offenders within two months. The website, with voluntary participation by states, will allow someone to do a national search online to determine if a convicted sex criminal has moved from one state to another. The system is designed to add some degree of uniformity to the many state methods of notification; Oregon currently provides information only over the phone while others have statewide websites that provide different degrees of access to information. AP has more.
[JURIST] Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich [official website] vetoed a bill Friday that would have allowed rights for gay partners who registered with the state, denouncing it as a threat to traditional marriage. Among the rights the bill would have granted to gay partners were the right to be treated as immediate family in a hospital setting, power to make healthcare decisions, and private nursing home visits. Ehrlich said he was sympathetic to the needs of dependent couples but stressed that the tools of existing laws allowed for many of the requested rights without undermining traditional marriage. Gay rights group Equality Maryland [advocacy website] claimed the bill had nothing to do with marriage and noted that some of the requested rights could not be secured under the existing law [press release]. The Washington Post has more.
[JURIST] A senior Sudanese official said Saturday that a tribunal to try people accused of war crimes in Darfur [BBC backgrounder] could be announced in 2-3 months. Sudan rejected the UN Security Council's recommendation [JURIST report] earlier this year to refer the trials to the International Criminal Court [official website] in The Hague. The Khartoum government is accused of arming militias and deploying them against refugees in the area, resulting in the deaths of over 180,000 people. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Afghan president Hamid Karzai [Wikipedia profile] said Saturday that he wants custody of all Afghan prisoners after being "shocked" by US newspaper reports of prisoner abuse [JURIST report] released Friday. The US has over 500 Taliban and other prisoners in Guantanamo Bay [official website] and several hundred Afghans are currently believed to be held by the US in Afghanistan. Karzai has also stated that he wants control over US military operations inside Afghanistan, such as searches within homes for militants, which should not be taking place "without the consultation of the Afghan government." Karzai will meet with President Bush next week. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] British tabloid The Sun published additional photos of an incarcerated Saddam Hussein in a white robe Saturday, one day after it showed a semi-clad Saddam on its front page. The International Committee of the Red Cross [official website] has said the pictures violate Saddam's right to privacy while the US military has condemned their publication [JURIST report] and ordered an investigation to determine how they were leaked to the press. The Sun said the photos were sold to them by a US military official and defends the decision to print them. Meanwhile Iraq's planning minister, Barham Salih, has said that Saddam could be facing trial before the Iraqi Special Tribunal [official website] in the next few months. AP has more.
[JURIST] Senate Republicans filed a motion Friday which starts the countdown towards the "nuclear option" [Wikipedia backgrounder] - a procedure to wipe out the Democrats' power to block President Bush's judicial nominees. The motion would end the Senate debate for federal court nominee Priscilla Owen [DOJ profile] who was renominated by Bush after Democrats blocked her nomination in the last Congress. A Senate majority is required to confirm a nominee, but 60 votes are needed to end a filibuster. Republicans believe they can gain the needed support to ban judicial filibusters, but Democrats contend those are necessary to provide a check by the minority on the majority's power. JURIST's Paper Chase has continuing coverage of the filibuster debate [JURIST news archive]. Reuters has more.

Weight loss is a new twist on yoga
Put this one in your "good to know" file:
Regular yoga practice may help stave off that dreaded middle-age spread, U.S. researchers report in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
They found that normal- weight people who did yoga regularly gained less weight over 10 years, regardless of their diet and other physical activity. And overweight yoginis (and yogis) even dropped a few pounds.
It all came down to mindful eating.
Researchers found that people who do yoga were more aware of what they ate and stopped eating when they were full. The same didn't hold true for walkers and runners.

Yoga may ease chronic back pain
"Oh, my aching back!" may be heard less frequently as people with chronic lower back pain find some relief from a therapeutic form of yoga, a new study suggests.
Yoga is often promoted as a way to ease lower back pain and other chronic body aches, but there have been few rigorously conducted studies on the subject.
For the current study, published in the journal Spine, researchers randomly assigned 90 adults (average age 48, range 18-70) with chronic lower back pain to either stay with conventional care or take six months of Iyengar-style yoga classes.
Iyengar is a form of yoga that emphasizes proper body alignment and uses "props," such as blocks, blankets and the wall, to help support people in the various yoga postures. The certified Iyengar yoga instructors in this study had experience using yoga therapy for back pain.
Overall, the researchers found, the yoga group showed not only greater improvements in pain and mobility, but also a larger reduction in depression symptoms. And the benefits were seen immediately after the six-month yoga regimen ended, as well as six months later.

A model guide to going deeper in yoga practice
If your gym's yoga classes are packed, or if you hope to cultivate a daily practice at home, Yoga for Wii might be your best ticket to Nirvana this coming winter.No doubt, some yoga purists will be driven mad by Yoga for Wii's distinctly Western a la carte approach to an ancient spiritual tradition. That's because Yoga for Wii (www.yoga-game.com/) touches on multiple disciplines at the same time. It also includes tidbits of advice about eating right, the care and feeding of one's chakras, and postures crafted to relieve back pain, arthritis, and headaches.
A supermodel whom I've never heard of, Anja Rubik, serves as your guide and guru in Yoga for Wii. (In case you did not know, life on the catwalk is extremely stressful.)
Animated characters demonstrate each posture, bending and stretching in cool-looking studio scenes and beneath giant statues and paintings depicting Buddha and others.
Yoga for Wii, due in November, is the first standalone Yoga title for the Wii, its developers say.

Performance Reporting: The Myths And The Reality 3 comments
Jan 23, 2013 11:41 PMIt never stops to amaze me. I'm talking about the creativity of some options "guru" when it comes to presenting their track record. "Maximum profit potential", "Cumulative return", "90% winning ratio", "Annualized return" are just few of the tricks used in the industry to entice you into joining their website.
"Maximum profit potential"
Few days ago one of the options service providers sent a summary of his 2012 performance, bragging about ~42% average return per trade. A quick look on his website reveals how he calculates his returns: "The highest price the option achieves is recorded as the result since this was historically what the option price reached."
Did you get that? Is anyone really able consistently to sell at the top, or even close? Pro-Trading-Options, an independent source which tracks performance of few hundred newsletters, actually stopped tracking the service because they track only profitable services. Turns out that based on real (auto-trading), not hypothetical results, not only the performance was not nowhere near 42% average return, but it didn't even make money.
Calculating gains based on cash and not on margin
This is one of the most outrageous frauds. This is how it works:
One of the services makes a lot of risk reversal trades. A risk reversal involves selling a put and using the proceeds to buy a call (or vise versa). The track record includes many 100% losers, but also some ridiculous triple digit returns like 757%, 780% or even 1,150%. You would think that those returns would more than offset the 100% losers.Out of curiosity, I decided to check how they calculated those returns. The 1,150% trade involved buying a $18 call and selling a $18 put for a net cost of $0.04, and closing the trade for $0.50. 1,150%? Not so fast. What they "forgot" to tell us is that selling naked put involves a margin of ~$450 per spread, so $46 gain is really 10% gain and not 1,150%. No wonder they are able to present "4,344% cumulative return since 2007".
"Cumulative return"
There are a lot of services which make only one trade per month (or per week), yet they present their results as "350% cumulative return since inception". While technically this is correct, does it mean anything? Would you be comfortable placing your whole portfolio (or even half of it) into one weekly Iron Condor?
When a newsletter claims a 1,000% return for the year, wouldn't you assume that if you started the year with $10,000 and invested in all the recommendations given on the site, they would now have $100,000? But this is not the case. A lot of services calculate their yearly return by adding together all the individual returns on each trade recommended for the year.
So, for instance, if a website recommended 100 trades for the year and each trade made 10%, they would claim they made 1000% for the year.
The problem is that the returns on trades that overlap cannot be added together. If a service has 5 open positions and each position made 10%, did they make 50%? Of course not, because you could allocate only 20% to each position. So your overall return was 10%, not 50%.
Holding losing positions indefinitely
Many sites claiming unbelievable win ratios hold trades that move against them for many months while new recommendations continue to be given during that time. To you, it really doesn't matter what other trades are recommended during that time or what alleged returns are made because your capital is tied up.
One service that does one trade a month had a losing trade at the beginning of the year that was held the entire year and ultimately closed at the end of the year for a breakeven trade. Yet, during that entire time, new trades were opened each subsequent month. So, they reported a 100% win ratio and a very good return for the year.
The problem is that, realistically, you would not have made a dime since all your capital would have been tied up in the losing trade all year.Resetting past returns after a large drawdown
One service we know of posts hypothetical results that change each time the service has a bad month. What happens is, when a bad month occurs, they just fix the bad month and post new past performance numbers.
Another service has 10 trading programs. When one of the programs has a large drawdown, they simply close or rename it so new members don't see past results. Needless to say that no track record is posted on the website.Having too many open trades
Some services claim to have a certain maximum of trades and base the performance on this number. In reality, they open much more trades. There is a service that bases their track record on maximum of 10 open trades and $10,000 portfolio, so members would allocate 10% per trade. In reality, they might have as many as 16-18 trades, with average trade value around $1,400. They have two separate trades in the Open positions section: active trades and "other" open positions. The "other positions are " trades that are still open in the portfolio but are down over 50%. They are on "hold" but are not worth mentioning until they turn around."
Needless to say, most of the time those trades don't turn around and end up being 100% losers. Meanwhile, they tie up the capital, but the service continues opening new trades way beyond the maximum number of 10 positions. In fact, with average value of $1,400 and $10,000 portfolio, they should not open more than 7 trades - in reality, they have double most of the time. This is how they were able to claim 700% return in 2012.
"90% winning ratio"
You will see a lot of services advertising 90% winning ratio. Let me tell you a small secret: some strategies (like selling far OTM credit spreads) have built-in probability of success of 90%. The tradeoff is that the gains are usually very small (3-4%) and you need to hold 3-4 weeks to get that gain. So you win 9 out of 10 trades and lose one time - the big question is how much do you lose on that losing trade. If you made 4% nine times but lost 70% one time, the overall return is negative. Conclusion: winning ratio by itself means nothing. The only thing that matters is the total return.
Annualized return
When used correctly, an annualized return is the average annual return over a period of more than one year.
When used incorrectly, annualized means "we had a good trade so if we continue to make these exact same returns in this same amount of time, we will make X amount by the end of the year."When someone makes a 10% in one week, they can advertise an annualized return of 500%. To achieve that return, they will have to repeat this 10% return every single week. Does anyone believe this is possible?
How does SteadyOptions present performance?
SteadyOptions does not use any of those dirty tricks. This is how we present our performance:
- The performance numbers are based on real fills, not hypothetical or backtested trades, and definitely not on "profit potential".
- Our ROI is based on maximum number of open trades. For example, in 2012 we made a cumulative return of 915%, but based on 6 open trades, this is 152% ROI, and this is what we advertise.
- We base the model portfolio on 10% allocation per trade which leaves at least 40% of the portfolio in cash.
- All our trades are clearly presented on the performance page.
- We base the returns on the required margin, not on cash.
- We always mention that the returns do not include commissions.

LONDON, January 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Industry first brings persistent chat via Lync to all BlackBerry 10 customers
MindLink Software, a provider of real-time business-critical collaboration and persistent chat solutions, has launched a collaboration app to support all BlackBerry® 10 smartphones. The first company to bring Persistent Chat via Microsoft Lync to BlackBerry 10, MindLink is transforming how users share knowledge and ideas by enabling them to make business-critical decisions on the move, no matter what mobile device they are using.
Features commonly used in the consumer social space, such as @mentions and #hashtags, are incorporated into the state-of-the-art app for BlackBerry smartphones. Coupled with a new MindLink interface designed specifically for BlackBerry 10 smartphones, the new app creates an intuitive and user-friendly environment to encourage secure collaboration and information sharing among colleagues.
Key MindLink for BlackBerry 10 features include:
"Employees are increasingly becoming accustomed to using Instant Messaging and Chat technology in their personal lives, yet often have to revert back to email-based communications for work," says Annekathrin Häse, director of strategy and marketing at MindLink. "For time-pressed mobile workers, lengthy email discussions can soon become unmanageable and there's a risk that vital information is overlooked. By bringing the principles of secure, persistent group chat technology onto BlackBerry 10 smartphones, we are making it easier for customers to have access to the right information at the right time, facilitating rapid and productive business decision making."
"We're excited that MindLink is expanding the capabilities of their enterprise persistent chat and instant messaging app on the BlackBerry 10 platform," said Peter Ng Senior Director of Global Alliances & Business Development at BlackBerry. "It's a welcome addition to the suite of enterprise-grade applications available for BlackBerry customers."
MindLink Mobile for BlackBerry smartphones supports Microsoft OCS 2007 R2, Lync Server 2010 and Lync Server 2013.

Reviews for Chicken and Andouille Gumbo(17)
Sort By :
Great recipe, sausage a little to spicy I will change next time.
The picture looks like there is shrimp in this, but no shrimp in the recipe. The amount of sodium in this recipe is enough for a whole day!!!!
Sounds like a recipe I ran across before and there is a roux in this. My gumbo is a true Cajun gumbo and I use file in mine.
Oil and flour browned together is a roux for those of you who don't know this. Chicken and sausage gumbo recipes do not have okra or file in them, only seafood gumbos. Coming from New Orleans, I can tell you this with some certainty. For those of you who added shrimp, you seem to have figured out how to have the best of both.
I am also from Cajun Country and am not sure why people are leaving comments saying there is no roux. the recipe calls for half cup of oil and half cup of flour cooking on low for 30 minutes. that's how I make a roux. I have never added Worcestershire sauce but I would try it because it's pretty much good in everything. Thanks for the recipe.

Clyde Doyle Bowman Sr.
Dec 4, 2012
Dec. 4, 2012
Clyde Doyle Bowman Sr., 79, of Ocala, Fla., and formerly of Decatur, died peacefully on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012, at his home in Ocala, Fla. with loving and dedicated family members by his side. Clyde Doyle Sr. sadly lost his battle of one year to cancer.
He was born in Meigs County on Feb. 3, 1933, and was the first child and son of the late Enloe and Narcie Sneed Bowman, as well as the step-son of the late Mattie Stokes Bowman. He was preceded in death by one sister, Bobby Emory; and one brother, Earl Bowman.
He had an adventurous childhood growing up in Decatur. At the age of 18, seeking employment, he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, eventually working as a brakeman for the Nickel Plate Railroad that merged with the Norfolk and Western Railroad.
He married his lifelong partner, Gerrie Louderback, from Cleveland, Ohio, in 1953. Together, they raised four beautiful children, Rebecca Ann, Clyde Jr., Carl DeWayne, and Elizabeth Ann.
Due to health issues, he retired from the railroad in 1976. The family moved in 1977 to sunny Ocala, Fla., spending the next 35 years in the freedom of the Florida sunshine and warm weather that he loved.
Survivors include his loyal wife of 60-plus years, Gerrie Louderback Bowman of Ocala, Fla.; his heartbroken children, Rebecca A. Hodges and her husband, Larry, of Medina, Ohio, Carl D. Bowman and his wife, Carmen, of Summerfield, Fla., and Liz Bowman Hickcox and her husband, Byran, of Land O\' Lakes, Fla.; his affectionate grandchildren, Chelsea Bing, Carl Jr. \"Bo\" and his wife, Jessica, Jesse Hodges, Amanda Shearer, Ashley Scott and her husband, Reggie, Kacey Shearer and Selina (Grandpa\'s little petunia flower); great-grandchildren, Mazey Deuelley, Reggie, Emily and Jacob Bowman Scott and Carlee Grace Bowman; two brothers, Burl Bowman and his wife, Clara, of Knoxville, and B.T. Bowman and his wife, Sherry, of Decatur; two sisters, Jurl Lovelace of Knoxville, and Patty Jo Waller and her husband, Junior, of Decatur; three half-brothers, Allen Bowman and his wife, Janice, and Tony Bowman and his wife, Debbie, all of Decatur, and Alvin Bowman and his wife, Dana, of Riceville; three half-sisters, Mary Farmer and her husband, Charlie, Linda Lamb and her husband, Johnny, and Peggy Bowman, all of Decatur; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
The family would like to thank all for their kindness.
Funeral services will be 2:30 p.m. Saturday in the chapel of Ziegler Funeral Home with Lee Ricker officiating. Burial will follow in Walnut Grove Cemetery.
The family will receive friends from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that modest donations be made in the name of Clyde to the Decatur Kingdom Hall of Jehovah\'s Witnesses, c/o J.C. Roach, 2512 Armstrong Ferry Rd., Decatur, TN 37322.
If you are unable to attend the visitation or service, sign the guest registry at www.zieglerfuneralhome.com
Ziegler Funeral Home has been entrusted with the care of Clyde Doyle Bowman Sr.

Africa's largest booking site, 26548 places, now in 56 countries
Why write about a burger joint? It doesn't seem so odd if the burgers are more like a work of art than a meal. 3rd Hudsons are really onto a recipe for success. Great service, great portions and great fresh ingredients is at the order of the day. The best ground meats are selected and it is claimed to contain more than 20 % less fat than normal. The toppings are freshly made as well and include traditional favourites as well as more exciting options. Be sure to try the mint and jalapeno salsa, in itself an explosion of flavours. How does a perfectly cooked patty topped with tomato relish, biltong dust, chilli cream cheese and sliced battered jalapeno rings sound? Too good to be true? Not here. The relaxed sense of humor on the menu is very refreshing and the Ba-rack-o-lama, or La Di Dah (with ostrich meat) are examples of this. For vegetarians they offer a delicious chick pea and lentil burger with fresh goat's cheese and avo. This is a must-try and must-repeat experience.
This simple Indian restaurant serves food that is anything but. Steak roti rolls, kebab roti rolls, typically South African bunny chows and a mouthwatering mushroom and paneer curry are just some of the amazingly authentic dishes on offer. Try the potato and cheese paratha and the signature dish, the Al Makka Special Beef, soft, torn meat in curry. No alcohol is served but a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks are offered. The restaurant offers a take-away service as well.
The menu explodes with nourishing choices such as salads, sandwiches, soups and moist bagels, all freshly prepared for a quick, healthy and affordable meal. Enjoy aromatic coffee and decadent breakfasts at this relaxed and trendy restaurant in Sandton.
Zamalek definitely benefits from this hearty eatery that sells just what it's name suggests - burgers, and, well, burgers. 100% Angus beef and the freshest ingredients are used. The menu is large and caters to all tastes. Try the Cowboy Burger with beef, bacon, onion rings and cheese. The Shrooms burger ads perfectly cooked mushrooms and a healthy portion of cheese on top of a juice burger patty. Sides include onion rings, fries, and interesting varieties like chilli cheese fries.
If you have ever wondered what real street food is, wonder no further. This little restaurant is located on arguably the busiest strip in Cape Town - Long Street. Don't be fooled be the rustic (very rustic) interior. Just grab a high chair or a bench, order and await a new kind of delight. The Burger Shop, true to its name, offers mainly burgers, chips and stuff on rolls, but the portions are big and the nostalgia the street food evokes is something quite unique. The dining process can become quite messy as it is 'illegal' to eat a burger with anything else than your hands, but this is part of the fun and colourful vibes that especially this part of Cape Town offers. This is definitely not something to try if you prefer fine dining in a posh spot, but if you want a unique, proudly South African experience, pop in here.
Cafe Zorina is bathed in understatement as you walk in the door. The interior is simple, yet elegant, but unpretentious. The main point is that the restaurant serves Halaal foods, and specializes in it. The restaurant is a popular venue for business meetings because of its atmosphere and quality produce. Breakfast and lunch is served and guests have a choice between lighter meals and some of the more filling Indian dishes. Here you will be able to have a laid-back lunch right in the middle of Cape Town. They serve quality food at very reasonable prices. The restaurant is open from 8:30 am until 5:30 pm during the week, and closes at 2:30 pm on Saturdays.
Chicory Cheese Café in Mantis Mall, Darling welcomes herself as Darling's new chic restaurant flavoured by intuitive and seasonal meals. The menu brims with freshly cooked, freshly squeezed, freshly baked and freshly ground goodies with option to dine indoors or alfresco on farm fresh country cuisine. Share in the love of good food at Chicory Cheese Café, Darling.
Dukes Burgers can rightfully claim to make some of the best burgers around. The freshest ingredients are used, as well as mostly local produce, to create gourmet masterpieces that almost look too good to eat. Everything is made from scratch, from the rolls to the burger patties and all tastes are catered for - even vegetarians. A unique, different kinda burger joint.
Europa Restaurant and Coffee Shop serves Fego coffee and superbly delicious food. They pride themselves on their great service. Europa has a fully licensed bar and cocktails to be enjoyed. Dine on a full range of pizzas, pastas, wraps, and burgers and breakfasts served all day! They are a free Wi-Fi hotspot and the recommended restaurant in Plettenberg Bay.
This fabulous burger joint is situated in the popular V & A Waterfront and delivers on location, ambience, service and most importantly, yummy food. When you walk in the door you'll see the staff dressed in smart uniform surrounded by elegant, warm and upmarket decor. But this joint is far from pretentious. Gibsons definitely serves up some of the best burgers in town. Although gourmet burgers with a wide variety of toppings are at the top of the list, the menu also offers ribs, steaks, chicken, fish and salad dishes. Start off with tender calamari that literally melts in your mouth. Or try the messy, sticky pork ribs and Gibson's secret cream sauce that complements the sweet potato fries perfectly. The meat they use for the burger patties is full of flavour and yo can taste that it is the best of the best cuts used. The Mr Chutney burger with cheddar, bacon and chutney is a must-try and, just to treat yourself more, have a bar-one milkshake made with real bar-one chocolate. Informal, fun and comfort food with a modern twist is what this joint is all about. For dessert, make it a real experience by teaming this with a Bar-One milkshake with real melted Bar-One chocolate!
If you are looking for a healthier option than the typical Egyptian street food, try Goodcals. A wide variety of salads are available that employs imagination and creativity to make the seemingly simple food a treat. Some delicious, but healthy, sandwiches can also be found on the menu.
Enjoy one of the world's most classic dishes - with a twist. An experience at Gourmet Burger on the bustling Shortmarket Street in Cape Town is a must. The small but cosy restaurant boasts funky décor and the interior and vibe is modern and vibrant, reflecting perhaps the remnants of the classic American-style diner. The menu offers a selection of over 30 different burgers and there really is something for everyone. Diners can choose chicken, beef, lamb, veg, prawn or calamari to top the lightly toasted rolls. A must-try is the vegetarian Field Mushroom Burger topped with rocket, red pepper, avo and feta. Other favourites include the chicken, camembert and cranberry sauce burger and the lamb with herb mustard and blue cheese aioli. Wash it down with a Lindt chocolate shake - you'd be hard-pressed to be more indulgent. The restaurant is licensed and you can select delicious Paul Cluver wines to complement your meal. The food is original, the atmosphere bustling and the prices reasonable.
Exuding a rustic farm-style ambiance that invites warmth and relaxation, Jacobs Ladder creates a slow and relaxed dining pace, giving guests time to enjoy the nutrient rich food. Enjoy healthy delights such as organic smoothies, organic coffee, delicious natural and organic breakfast and lunches, wheat grass shooters and seasonal organic produce.
Juice Corner Cafe is a modern trendy little spot that serves food that is healthy and tasty. Sandwiches with gourmet fillings and toppings, wraps, salads, and much more are available. Enjoy mouthwatering low fat desserts with fresh fruit like kiwi and blueberries. Of course, as the name suggests, freshly squeezed juice is available all day.
Mr Pickwick's is no doubt named after the entertaining and endearing Charles Dickens character of the Pickwicks Papers fame. This quaint, yet vibrant restaurant has an extremely rustic feel to it, so do not expect an upmarket experience. However, if good conversation, scrumptious food and quirky furnishings are your thing, this is the place to go. The restaurant has more of a student feel to it, so bring the youth inside you and join the clan. The burgers are really filling and many a review has been written about them. It certainly is something to try. The most amazing milkshakes and ice creams are on offer and you will be astounded by the amount of flavours. From normal strawberry and chocolate to Turkish delight and caramel and almond. Funky painted tins for light shades, vintage-style crockery, a bustling artsy atmosphere and good old comfort food is what you'll find at Mr. Pickwicks.
