Grumpy's Drains is Portland's #1 Drain Cleaning company on Angies LIst with over 400 total A+ reviews. We have worked long and hard to establish ourselves as a leading residential drain cleaning company. We clean drains everyday here in Portland and have built quite an reputable name for ourselves. Not one single day goes by that I don't hear " We love the name of your business! I too have Grumpy Drains!."
Grumpy's Drains does not perform any plumbing services. We are strickly drain cleaning only. You can either leave it as it is and make a nice living for a couple of hard working people cleaning drains or you can add a plumbing department and really capitalize on the amount of work our marketing brings in. I have actually pulled back on my advertising this year because I just couldn't handle all the calls.
The reason that we are selling our business is the wife and I started Grumpy's as a simple means of income, but hard work and determination gave us great word of mouth advertising and we are just too busy. At this time we do not plan to have employees. I do not want to see Grumpy's Drains wither away just because it got too big for me. I'm here to tell you that if you are reading this ad and even think that you want to be a big dog in the plumbing field this is your chance!
We have been in business for 8 years and I feel that Grumpy's Drains is at the top of it's game right now. This would be the prime time for an experienced residential plumbing outfit to buy today and be covered up in work starting tomorrow!
I have experience and success in all forms of media advertising with Grumpy's Drains, Newspaper, Radio, TV, internet. I have spent years and thousands of dollars on different ad campaigns. I cannot post all radio and TV ads to this ad but attached is a cute TV spot we ran a couple of years ago with great success.

The owner is exceptionally talented at SEO optimization, having developed a proprietary approach that differentiates the company from its competitors. He also understands that SEO is just one of a spectrum of internet-related services required by clients heading into the future. The company has progressively added SEM, SMM, CRO, PCC, Web Design, Consulting, Reputation Management and Corporate training to their menu of offerings.
Another factor in the company's natural growth and high client retention is their forthright and honest approach to client service. While many SEO companies have a reputation for not delivery ongoing value for their monthly billings, this firm delivers monthly reports to each client providing tangible proof of value.
While growth has been purposefully capped the last 2 years, client acquisition & billings should drastically increase going forward with a reasonable marketing effort. Great opportunities exist to mine new clients in non-competing markets in the same field as existing clients, based on referrals and strong testimonials from the client base.
This company is a great fit as a stand-alone, or as an acquisition for an internet marketing, web design, or any other internet-related company for whom SEO and related services would be a complementary addition. Great opportunity to own an operation whose results speak for themselves!

The person with the most authority and credibility is not the one who is most confident or forceful in today's workplace. We have become immune to force and many find that the more you attempt to convince, the less convincing you become. Work instead to find the ultra solution—the one that moves beyond all those on the table that are usually presented as mutually exclusive options. Gain authority by replacing the "or" that is stamped between different ideas with an "and." That way you can suggest ideas that take the entire group to a higher level where many things are possible and many things can be true at once. Something such as, "Do we want to cut cost or increase quality?" becomes, "How do we cut costs and increase quality at the same time? Here is an idea."
Learn by doing. Theory is nice, but nothing replaces actual experience.
- Tony Hsieh
2. Follow through. Always do what you say you're going to do. Otherwise, your credibility is destroyed. As the saying goes, they remember your last act.
Consistency in action and vision remains a constant - ironically - in every leadership blog I've read to date.
Entrepreneur is someone who has a vision for something and a want to create.
- David Karp
Graphic recorders transcribe and organize group dialogues instantly into visual metaphors and mind maps. The visual maps enable participants to build upon other's ideas. The group sees their conversation develop before them, thus creating a shared information base.

The visual record of a discussion streamlines meeting productivity by increasing clarity, focusing conversation, and reducing repetition. The group can amend their ideas in real time. This interaction with the materials increases individual participation and builds group trust. The team's engagement promotes heightens critical thinking and strategic planning, resulting in more innovative and creative results.
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg looks at why a smaller percentage of women than men reach the top of their professions — and offers 3 powerful pieces of advice to women aiming for the C-suite.
"But stress doesn't discriminate between good and bad. It comes, unbidden, anytime we are in a situation in which we are worried about an outcome we feel is beyond our control. So we complain. We gossip. We get snarky. Which quickly infects those around us. And then they complain, gossip, and snark. Pretty soon we're competing for who's most stressed. Who's got the most work. Who's got the most ungrateful, unreasonable boss. Which, of course, just makes us all more stressed. What is the best way to cope with feeling overwhelmed while also managing the complaining, gossiping, snarky colleague? How should we respond without becoming that person ourselves? Offer to do some of their work for them."
#7) Ask Your Staff for "5 Things That We Should Stop Doing" – We're always asking what we SHOULD be doing; when do we ever ask if there are things that we should STOP doing? This is a great time of year to do that, and it will always elicit some excellent and actionable feedback.
"It's this relentless questioning that leads entrepreneurs to spot new opportunities and helps managers understand the people who work for them, and how to get them to work together effectively. It is no coincidence that more than one executive uttered the same phrase when describing what, ultimately, is the C.E.O.'s job: "I am a student of human nature."
The C.E.O.'s are not necessarily the smartest people in the room, but they are the best students — the letters could just as easily stand for "chief education officer."

My Taurus Tracker issues
I took it out again today and the first five rounds fired without incident. I reloaded and on the fifth pull of the trigger it clicked. I examined it and discovered the cylinder was spinning freely. They frown on on-site repairs at this range so I bagged it up and moved on to the next gun.
After getting home I discovered the pawl that locks the cylinder in place was stuck in the recessed position. After tapping it a few times with a small wood dowel it popped back up. I loaded some snap caps and started dry firing. About the time my finger started getting tired the pawl stuck again and the cylinder once again was spinning freely.
My question to anyone who might know is do I need to send it in for warranty work again? I don't want to send it in to find out it is a cleaning issue but it would require disassembly to get in there and clean it.
This is the first revolver I've owned. I thought they were supposed to be simpler to keep running than an auto!?

simple test to do.
take teh grips off, make sure the gun is unloaded. get a spray can of rem oil. and spray the crap out of the action. youll want to wear chemical resisitant gloves.
spray into every hole and work the action as you do. use a 1/3 of the can. be liberal with it.
When your done, just keep working the action for a while. Since you have snap caps put those in, and spray the cylinder and arbor down as well. and just dry fire it.
you should see improvement.

Based on my experience with my Taurus m941 and your description of the problem I would;
1st; follow Bezoar's advice. If no improvement;
2nd; disassemble and check for burrs.
With my gun which I reported on in detail on THR it came from the factory bone dry of oil and has a 1/2" long burr rubbing on the cylinder. 4 drops of CLP in the right places took came of the try action but complete disassembly of the action was required to remove the burr (which took less time than it took to write this post).
If you don't have the experience and proper tools don't try disassembly of the gun yourself. Their J-Frame has a little spring and pin that is a pain to get back into place when reassembling the action (don't know about their big boys).
The bad news is Taurus Q.C. Is inconsistent although I think Smith & Wesson's is just as bad.
The good news they are a high quality gun worth a little tweaking.

BSA is dead on. Clean it and use it. Sounds like a burr in the pawl cut or a weak spring. I think you will end up with it at a smith if you are uncomfortable opening the action. My advice is to watch a few videos on YouTube Where they open up the actions, usually to show you how to put in reduced weight springs. That will let you know if you can do it or not. Some bits are tricky to get back together but so long as you don't force anything but a spring into place you won't break anything.

Try that. My understanding is that all taurus lock work is very similar in design.

Personally, I don't own/buy Taurus/Rossi revolvers (or semi-autos for that matter) based on my background as a gun store manager back in the day. Sure, I expect their QC to have gotten better than back then, but it seems like several times other shooters bragged about their Taurus/Rossi handguns---when I asked to try them, they said yes---just as soon as it gets back from the factory/gunsmith/still looking for parts, etc…
Just my own personal opinion/experience---YMMV...

there is nothing wrong with taurus or rossi. Sure its not the fanciest finish, but the thing is, some of the most sought after collectible handguns are some of the most unreliable.
Just be happy. Its better to be the man with a taurus and be out shooting it, then to be sitting in the study stewing because you dont have a "model x" from colt or smith or whatnot.

Thanks for the suggestions on cleaning and lubricating heavily. I gave it a try and dry fired the snap caps ~100 times, wiped off excess lube, and repeated several times. It seems to be working without issue dry firing. The real test will be when I get it back to the range and can run some live ammo through it. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Broadway/"30 Rock" star Cheyenne Jackson and pop star Ricky Martin were out and proud at the same event in NYC last night.
Question is ...
Even Ricky would agree it's Cheyenne.
Cheyenne by a million miles. He's a sweetheart, great guy, good actor, and a extremely talented singer.
I was about to vote for Ricki but where is the poll??? is my computer screwed or is tmz being screwy?
I vote Ricki b/c I love brown eyed boys :)
Cheyenn has my vote.
2 out and proud delicious gay men!! Kudos!
Thank you very much!
Both hot but Ricky wins, that jaw line could cut glass! Sharp.
Both... at the same time but they don't want a woman... so I would be okay to watch them make sweet love with each other :) rotflmao
Ricky likes it up the bummm.no....YUCK!
I picked Ricky even though thats not a very good picture of him.
Now the poll is up! thats weird. but I officially voted now. :)
Why do I have to choose? Can't I just be the pickle in that Latin sandwich??!!
I pick Cheyenne. Ricky looks like a beady-eyed squirrel.
I want Ricky to fvck my booty while Cheyenne fvcks my puzzy. And yes I'm serious.
God do I love me some Cheyenne Jackson. Especially when he's singing Xanadu songs in his Daisy Duke shorts. Yummy.

PoP 2014 – we did it again!
Families to the fore for the third Pedal on Parliament
Year on year, we've seen the crowds grow at Pedal on Parliament – last year thousands of you joined us at the Scottish Parliament to tell our politicians we want a cycle-friendly Scotland. Since then, although there have been some changes, Scotland is a long way away from achieving that – so we did it again. This year we decided to let the most important people in Scotland do the talking: the children who are its future. But we also had a number of politicians there too, from across the political spectrum, including the Transport Minister, Keith Brown. Find out more
What now
What happens next depends on our politicians – whether they listen to those who turned out on the day. You can help by writing to your MSPs, joining your local campaign groups, and keep pressing to make Scotland a cycle-friendly country. And you can also sign up to get involved in the future. Find out more ….
What we want
- Proper funding for cycling.
- Design cycling into Scotland's roads.
- Slower speeds where people live, work and play
- Integrate cycling into local transport strategies
- Improved road traffic law and enforcement
- Reduce the risk of HGVs to cyclists and pedestrians
- A strategic and joined-up programme of road user training
- Improved statistics supporting decision-making and policy
"I come here to enlighten our politicians that we're not asking for spending here, but an investment, where young people can cycle freely and without fear. We want a network from our homes to our workplaces, our shops, and schools and everywhere we want to go. It's an investment in the health of the nation." - Graeme Obree, speaking at PoP 2013 last year.
Just a 'wee protest' then? The first PoP (© Richard Cross)
Who are we?
Pedal on Parliament is a grass-roots group of cyclists of all kinds who want to see Scotland become a place where everyone can cycle safely and enjoyably. We are supported by the Andrew Cyclist Charitable Trust, Spokes Lothian, GoBike Glasgow, CTC Scotland, Cycling Dumfries and the Cycling Embassy of Great Britain.
"Ian and I remain committed to working with others to make cycling in Scotland safer for all ages and abilities and we strongly support the aims of the Pedal on Parliament team and will work with them to help achieve their aims.
- Lynne McNicoll, the step-mother of Andrew McNicoll and founder of the Andrew Cyclist Charitable Trust

Blue Lipstick: Concrete Poemsby John Grandits
Synopses & Reviews
A 15-year-old girl named Jessie voices typical—and not so typical—teenage concerns in this unique, hilarious collection of poems. Her musings about trying out new makeup and hairstyles, playing volleyball and cello, and dealing with her annoying younger brother are never boring or predictable. Who else do you know who designs her own clothes and writes poetry to her cat? Jessies a girl with strong opinions, and she isnt shy about sharing them. Her funny, sarcastic take on high school life is revealed through concrete poetry: words, ideas, type, and design that combine to make pictures and patterns. The poems are inventive, irreverent, irresistible, and full of surprises—just like Jessie—and the playful layout and ingenious graphics extend the wry humor.

Local MP Chris Evans teamed up with companies across Islwyn to launch the Islwyn Work Experience Programme at Coleg Gwent on Friday 7 June.
The scheme, the first of its kind in Wales, was officially launched at Coleg Gwent's Crosskeys Campus.
Employers from across Islwyn signed up to the programme, which offers 18-24 year olds an 8 week placement with a local company and practical experience of a workplace.
Mr Evans said: "Since inviting businesses in Islwyn to take part in the programme in recent weeks I have been overwhelmed by the positive response of local employers.
"The scheme is the first of its kind in Wales and gives young people an opportunity to undertake a locally based work placement and help boost their CVs."
The Islwyn Work Experience Programme was launched at Morels Restaurant at Coleg Gwent's Crosskeys Campus, with Coleg Gwent catering students providing refreshments.

They don't get it. I will not support a party that does not represent me and that wiil not support up the good fight against the democrats. McCain and Rubio are prime examples of our republican sellouts, there are many others.

Its likely that youve never heard of Ray Townsend or the Frank-a-Matic, but if youve eaten a hot dog lately (and we think you should), then youve probably tasted the result. Townsend recently died at the age of 97, and the Wall Street Journal gives a fitting eulogy for the man who revolutionized the hot dog industry. Before his invention, hot dogs had to be made by hand. The Frank-a-matic was able to kick out around 30,000 links per hour, significantly lowering the price and marketability of the hot dog. Up until the 90s, it was estimated that 95 percent of hot dogs in the United States were produced on his machines. While he was a lifelong resident of Iowa, his ties to Chicago were strong, as he sold his very first machines to the stockyards. All we can think of saying is Thanks. [WSJ via Skyfullofbacon/Twitter]
Inventor of Frank-a-Matic Dies at 97By Nick Kindelsperger

PERSONAL CARE PRODUCT CHEMICALS: Preservatives in Cosmetics/Sanitary Products Linked to Allergic Reactions of Epidemic Proportions—New Study
"Sources of exposure were diverse, including moist tissue wipes, cleaners, toners, shower gel, shave foam, mascara, hair products and washing up liquid."
Beauty Lotions, Other Household Products Accused Of Causing Skin Allergy
Itching, hives, redness, and facial swelling are common symptoms linked to the use of certain beauty lotions and sanitary products.
…dermatologists have connected two key preservatives in many cosmetic and sanitary products to cases of acute allergic contact dermatitis.
The preservatives known as MI and MCI have been found in Nivea skin lotion, some L'Oréal creams, and Wet Ones cleaning wipes, not to mention other varieties of mascara and shower gels. The majority of the allergic reactions occurred in women over the age of 40, with exposure to the preservatives resulting in facial swelling, hives, itching, and redness…
The American Contact Dermatitis Society named MI "contact allergen of the year" for 2013, in order to generate awareness of the preservative's potentially harmful effects.
The preservatives MI and MCI have been used since the 1980s in more industrial products, such as wall paint, and have only recently started to appear in cosmetic products. The preservatives full names are methylisothiazolinone (MI) and methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI).

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
SALT LAKE CITY — ARCOM is pleased to announce a new strategic alliance and endorsement agreement with the Master Painters Institute (MPI), publisher of painting standards and best practices, tester of paint products, and maintainer of tested and approved paint products in North America.
As part of this alliance, the companies will develop an innovative new web-based specification tool that combines MPI's Architectural Decision Tree system with ARCOM's new SpecBuilder+Expert platform, for use by MasterSpec licensed users. This tool will use MPI's online question and answer system to select appropriate paint systems and products and will feed that information into ARCOM's SpecBuilder+Expert application to create MasterSpec-based painting specifications.
Paint manufacturers will also be able to create a proprietary version of the SpecBuilder+Expert tool through ARCOM's Product MasterSpec program. Manufacturers will be able to customize the specifications, add information about their products, and provide knowledge articles and other information to aid in decision-making for design professionals, who can access the specifications free of charge.
Additionally, MPI will exclusively endorse ARCOM products—including MasterSpec, SpecText, and SpecWare—as effective systems and solutions for producing, editing, and processing building and construction specifications. ARCOM will endorse MPI Standards as an effective system for finding and selecting paint substrates, paint systems, and paint products.
"The ARCOM team is very excited to begin a partnership with the Master Painters Institute, who is the expert in painting systems, products, and applications," says Christopher Bushnell, AIA, FCSI, CCS, president and CEO of ARCOM. "Combining MPI's expertise with ARCOM's new SpecBuilder+Expert tool will provide users with the industry's first interactive, intelligent painting specification system."
MPI President Barry Law says, "MPI has had an excellent relationship with ARCOM for well over 10 years. We both have worked toward bettering architectural painting specifications across North America. The next generation is now upon us with ARCOM's incredibly innovative SpecBuilder+Expert Platform. It has been a long time since we have been as excited about this type of innovation in architectural specifications, and full marks go to the ARCOM team."

5 We wanted to see how well a pair of these heads performed when placed in a non-factory type of condition. So, to step up the pressure on the heads, we installed them on a stock 6.1 liter short-block with a carbureted intake using dual 500 cfm Edelbrock carburetors. With our pair of CNC-ported 5.7 heads, and a Mod-Man dual-quad intake manifold, the 6.1/5.7 Hemi amalgamation made 465 horsepower and 423 lb/ft of torque. A stock 6.1 is rated at 425 horsepower, and 420 lb/ft of torque, installing the heads add roughly 40 horsepower, and 423 lb/ft of torque. We suspect that the head's improved flow now needs some additional camshaft to reach their full potential.

I gave myself a makeover and you can find my portfolio and content at sarahedodge.com!
Good things, y'all. Good Good things!
So, I know that I told you this past weekend was a busy one for Sean O'Keefe Events, but I might have glossed over the fact that it was also filled with so many beautiful things. To some, taking creative part in two events in one weekend is mad, but that's just what Sean is: mad AMAZING. No matter what the event or how many there are, Sean and his faithful team always execute things wonderfully giving the client just what they want and need.
On Friday, Sean helped create the room for Doggies on the Catwalk and on Saturday, Sean and his team put together some of the most beautiful flower arrangements for Kate's Club's annual fundraising Gala at the fabulous Lowe's hotel. What's fun about the Kate's Club event was being able to be privy to the whole process. I watched (and Blogged!) from start to finish the process that Sean takes to ensure clients are satisfied throughout the entire process. What I love the most about the way Sean and his team work with clients, is that he takes his time leaving people feeling like the priority that they are. A client will never feel "handed off" when working with Sean and it's what i truly unique about the work that Sean O'Keefe does. So, check out the process of providing florals for the annual Kate's Club Gala. From that initial meeting to the day off, it's easy to tell that Sean makes the process fun, efficient, and beautiful!
From start to finish, check out what Sean O'Keefe Events has to offer for your event planning needs. Whether it's a summer soiree, an outdoor wedding, or the fundraiser to end all fundraisers, Sean not only has you covered, he will quickly become the best friend you never thought you needed.
It was a very busy weekend for Sean O'Keefe Events and per usual, I luckily got to be around for most of the excitement.
First up, Friday found us at Peachtree Dekalb Airport for Doggies on the Catwalk, a fashion forward fundraising event for Atlanta Humane Society. In it's 7th year, Doggies on the Catwalk continues to draw some of Atlanta's finest to raise money, awareness, and hopefully a few adoption papers for our city's most well known animal shelter. The event's founder and organizer, E Vincent Martinez, called upon his friends at Meg Reggie PR and Sean O'Keefe Events to make this year's event even more amazing, and of course they did not disappoint. Refreshing cocktails, DELICIOUS sliders from Lucky's Burgers and Brew, and the most adorable fashion show, there was no detail left unturned.
This year also brought another wonderful and very fashionable sponsor: West Elm. Oh my, don't we all love a little West Elm and don't we all wish every party we attended was styled with West Elm furniture. I certainly do now! Setting up styled decor and seating areas as well as "the West Elm Lounge" full of yummy craft cocktails, the evening was high style all the way around.
Such a fun night for all involved! I cannot wait till next year! Stay tuned to part 2 of SOE's crazy weekend where we found ourselves dressed in black tie high up at the Lowe's Midtown for the annual Kate's Club Gala.
i love watching that transition from spring to summer. the leaves grow from small translucent buds and shoots to dark green fully grown leaves. i love watching flowers blossom. i love going on road trips and seeing how the scenery changes as the seasons change.
we headed to Asheville a few weekends ago for a friends wedding and took in all the awesomeness that part of the country has to offer. if you haven't driven that stretch or any stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway, i would suggest you put it on your list.
//Julia + Asher got married at the Old Sherrills Inn at Hickory Nut Gap Farm and it WAS SO PERFECT. the views, the weather, the people, the pigs… so lovely. it totally solidified my dream to get some land and run some sort of inn. easier said than done //
//we stayed in a really awesome VRBO spot just outside of Asheville. it's an old converted barn that's great for couples or even a ladies group. if you're looking for a place to stay, check this one out!
//continuing on with the plethora of amazing spring vegetables. simple spring vegetable pasta is my favorite and i spiced it up with a little carrot green pesto//
//Wonderfarm was this past weekend and i was asked to make the lavash for the cheese course. i was so honored to take part and so happy to be apart of 2 organizations that mean so much to me and Atlanta: Wonderroot + CFM. and i got to use Anson Mills bread flour which is the shit!//
// the rest of my time is spent hanging in my garden usually just staring at my plants waiting patiently as their little lives transform. i've become quite obsessive and have had to put a limit on my garden purchases as i was getting out of control//
so, we all know i'm a farmer's market girl. as often as i can, i buy many of my fruits, vegetables, and kitchen staples at my local markets. additionally, i used to have access to my own chickens, but now i oftentimes rely on friends in the neighborhood for eggs (wink wink to Berean…
i am excited to do a little work for the Atlanta division of Zagat, and even more pumped that my first project was to take photos of a little place called Lusca. life is funny. the space is truly beautiful and i couldn't be more excited for Angus, Nhan, and Sellitto. the menu looks perfect and the few dishes that i did shoot and taste are spot on. i can't wait to go taste the whole menu and the new Sunday brunch!
check out what Zagat had to say and my images here!
happy friday, y'all!
Charleston, Charleston, Charleston, you are a city after my own heart. every time i venture there, i can't help but fall more and more in love. there are always new things to uncover and old favorites to revisit.
our main stops this trip were :
/the Ordinary- GO!/
/Blue Bicycle Books-my second favorite used book store that's been recently redone and it's better than ever- GO!/
/Battery Park- it's where all them fine pretty homes be and i just stare at them and wonder how in the hell people actually afford (or maybe don't afford) to live there. either way- GO!/
and now for the real reason for this Charleston weekend venutre: these 2 amazing love birds shown below…
they went ahead and had about the most endearing and lovely wedding i've ever attended. the rehearsal dinner was a low country boil at a friend's marsh side house on John's Island. the wedding was at Runnymede Plantation on the banks of the Ashley River. these 2 nights combined made for a weekend full of good views, happy laughs, and tons of sweetness. i was not officially photographing this wedding, but it's editing and putting these photos into the world that remind me why i take my camera with me everywhere i go. i know i'm nowhere near as skilled as i want to be and i know that not many would categorize me as this amazing art photographer, but capturing life and the people and moments that reside in life is what i love. these photos bring a huge smile to my face just as the actual weekend did.
the hardest part of a weekend in Charleston is coming home. you're usually insanely exhausted, slightly or majorly hungover, really full, and that weird southern drawl you just happened to start using really sounds ridiculous. so, the best thing i know to do is to imitate the food you ate, drink a cocktail, and edit pictures.
so, i did just that channeling the insane meal from the Ordinary. our second visit to the restaurant was even better than the first. we had oysters, shrimp, a salad, a california sparkling white, and a local beer. sounds kind of boring, but all were perfect, and this salad was INSANE. it has gone down in my books as the best salad i've ever had. it's not complicated, in fact, it probably has the fewest ingredients of any salad. but it was the quality of the ingredients. they were so fresh and paired so wonderfully. the salad consisted of arugula, english lady peas, a hard cheese, and the loveliest garlic vinaigrette with possibly ramps as well. it was perfect. for my version, i added some mixed spring lettuces, substituted radishes for the hard cheese, and made a very intense garlic vin a la Martha Stewart that was perfect. i was immediately transported back to the raw bar at the Ordinary. if you haven't been, get in the car, and just GO!
so, we all know i'm a farmer's market girl. as often as i can, i buy many of my fruits, vegetables, and kitchen staples at my local markets. additionally, i used to have access to my own chickens, but now i oftentimes rely on friends in the neighborhood for eggs (wink wink to Berean Ave's soon-to-be chicken coop co-op).
but sometimes a compromise must be made, and when i'm involved in a lot of baking or cooking for my private parties, there are times that call for buying eggs in bulk. it is those times that i purchase Safest Choice Eggs. through a process of dipping certified humane laid eggs in a warm water bath, Safest Choice Eggs ensures that their is no chance for salmonella in their consumer's eggs. so when i know i'm not able to support my local farmer's and buy their eggs, i definitely want to use eggs that i know will be safe when cooking with partially cooked or even raw eggs. after all, pasteurized equals peace of mind.
i recently bought a couple dozen Safest Choice Eggs and put them to good use recreating one of favorite cakes: a dark brown sugar bundt cake with a lemon curd glaze.
i love bundt cakes and i wish i saw them more often. i love the way they taste. i love the way they look. and i love the word bundt which derives from the german word "bund" meaning "tied together." being the nerd that i am, i think that's pretty great and it makes me wonder why more weddings don't contain bundt cakes?!
anywho, after a great, but exhausting weekend in Charleston, i returned home to a rainy Atlanta which i gladly welcomed. rainy days always find me wanting to bake and create something comforting. this cake is as traditional and as comforting as it gets. using dark brown sugar gives this cake a darker smokier more molasses taste which i love with my morning coffee or afternoon tea. i added an almond streusel on the bottom for a nice little crunch and played around with a partially cooked lemon curd to make more of a glaze. using the Safest Choice Eggs allowed me to get the glaze consistency that i was looking for while not worrying that the eggs weren't entirely cooked.
dark brown sugar bundt cake w/ almond streusel and lemon curd glaze
cake ingredients:
streusel ingredients:
lemon curd glaze ingredients:
for the cake:
Grease and flour a bundt cake pan or tube cake pan. Heat oven to 325°.
whisk flour, salt , and baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger together in a bowl and set aside.
in a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat sugars with eggs on medium speed until light and fluffy.
add eggs one at a time beating well in between each addition. add vanilla and mix until incorporated.
add flour mixture and sour cream to the sugar mixture alternating between the two and starting and ending with flour. mix on slow and mix just until incorporated. make sure to not over mix or else your cake will lost it's nice tenderness.
bake for 1hr 20min or until cake tester comes out clean. rotate cake every 20 minutes or so in oven to ensure even cooking. remove from oven and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes in pan before removing.
for the streusel:
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar with the flour, almonds, oats, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and with a pastry cutter or your hands, cut or rub the butter into the mixture evenly. Refrigerate the streusel.
for the glaze:
using a micro-plane, remove the zest of 3 lemons, being careful to avoid the white pith. pulse the sugar and lemon zest in a food processor until well blended.
Cream the butter and beat in the sugar and lemon mixture. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and then add the lemon juice and salt. Mix until combined.
Pour the mixture into a 2 quart saucepan and cook over low heat until almost thickened (about 8 minutes), stirring constantly. at 170 degrees the curd will thicken. i took it off at about 140 degrees where it was still runny and would create a nice glaze for the cake. serve warm or refrigerate and keep for further use.

it's been an exhausting but productive week. i am becoming so grateful for this 52 week project. having a visual diary of my week to week is so neat. and it's also a good way to watch the time go/appreciate how quickly time goes by…
//we spent some time in and charleston this past weekend which is always treat. by the end of this summer i'll know charleston like the back of my hand! the history of that city and thus the architecture is heaven for me and my camera. i fall more in love with it every time i go it also was a treat to attend our dear friend's wedding down there, but more on that later… in the meantime check out last year's trip to the Chucktown//
//i published my Steeplechase images with lots of good feedback. i had a blast working for Sean O'Keefe and Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Chairman's Tent Collaboration//
// i got a glimpse into the most beautiful new restaurant in town! LUSCA is now open and i couldn't be more happy for Angus + Nhan. go in tonight!! check out the piece on Zagat now//
//it's HOTDOG SEASON!!!//
// a good week for my private cooking clients. so many good ingredients coming into season. beets, radishes, so many greens… my plate runneth over. i refined my mashed sweet potatoes (not in season, i know) by steeping my milk with garlic, rosemary, and butter for a little longer. it's definitely a nutritious kid friendly side. also excited about an upcoming recipe for Honest Cooking + pasteurized eggs. stay tuned!//
//and it's roadtrip season… my favorite season. we're headed to asheville this weekend with lots of good stops along the way//
happy friday, y'all.
as the weeks progress into, it's becoming quite apparent that i'm involved in a season of change. it seems that when it rains, it pours and after years of cruising comfortably, i'm making a break for it and making several changes.
after living with a wide array of roommates over the last 10 years, i have flown the coop and am living with my manfriend. it's an awesome yet strange adjustment that has taken some patience. in the end, it's been one of the best things i've ever done and i know i'm embarking on a pretty sweet situation here on Berean ave.
i'm also switching gears and giving my career the ole change-up. after being in the kitchen for 5+ years working for some pretty amazing people, i've decided to hang up the restaurant apron and move on. i'm taking on more food styling, food photography, and food writing projects while continuing with my private cooking clients. every day is a little different and very challenging. the only thing i have to rely on is myself which somedays is uber frustrating because i can be pretty annoying. when self employed, you are either your biggest enemy or your biggest ally, and more times than i'd like to admit, i am my own worst enemy. self-doubt creeps in and can take hold and it's like a car without breaks heading towards disaster. but thankfully, i have good people by my side urging me along and some even creating new branding to be unveiled soon (wink wink to the amazing Hannah Lee Designs).
but, all that aside, there has always been and continues to be one constant in my life : Community Farmers Markets. ever since i came back from my road trip 3 + years ago, the East Atlanta Farmer's Market and the Grant Park Farmer's Market have remained a constant in my weekly routine. i've also been and remain involved in their fundraising dinners and events and it is such a blessing. this year, i'm grateful to be more involved in their outreach programs that bring educational chef demos to schools, businesses, and events to areas that are in need.
this past week, we headed to Therrell High School in one of Atlanta's biggest food deserts: southwest Atlanta. the school has been around for a long time changing demographics over the years. my mom went to school near East Point and Therrell was one of their rivals. walking in, the school is beautiful and very updated, but it's definitely a change of scenery. flanked by metal detectors and security guards, it's a different vibe from my Woodward days (important to note though, that everything is different from my Woodward days). kids sit at their computers drinking liter bottles of sodas completely tuned out. we set up our demo table and dished out sample strawberry mint salads with lemon + honey and just waited not quite sure what was going on, but being told that the kids would not be partaking in the food because that was not a good idea. not happy about that, we handed out the salad to whoever walked by explaining where the strawberries came from and that every week the CFM farmer's markets sets up so that people can purchase fresh and local produce. surprised but pumped, we got the most enthusiasm from the kids interested in the fact that strawberries grow from the ground and in Georgia and that they too can purchase them and make this simple salad. some kids and adults threw the salad out claiming that they didn't eat green things or they were allergic to fresh strawberries but not frozen ones. it hurts a little, but in the end, if you can captivate just a few people, then that is better than zero and thats what these demos are all about.
it's projects and days like this that remind me why i ever got interested in food in the first place. i love feeding people and i LOVE talking about food especially with the younger generation. if we don't have organizations like CFM or Georgia Organics who spend lots of time and energy to connect farmers with consumers and bring education into communities that need it the most, then our local food systems and the health of our communities will fail. i'm so honored to take part in all of the things that CFM does and i urge each and every one of you to visit their markets in East Atlanta on Thursday evening, Decatur on Wednesday + Saturday, and Grant Park on Sundays. check out their facebook page for specific times and locations. although it will require more than one person to change our current food system, each person making the conscious effort to spend a little more money on their local farmers does a world of difference. so every time you're headed to Publix or Kroger to buy a pint of strawberries or even a loaf of bread consider heading to the farmer's market instead and putting a few more dollars back into the local economy and purchasing better tasting, fresher, organic food. you're tummy, heart, and mind will thank you.
super simple strawberry mint salad
combine all ingredients in bowl and mix well. garnish with a mint leaf and serve.
*another great way to get involved is with the upcoming WonderFarm, a collaboration between WonderRoot + CFM. it's a little pricey, but worth it. a food collaboration curated by Steven Satterfield and a lovely display of local artists. find tickets here!

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels Debut First 'Dumb and Dumber To' Trailer
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels return to the roles of Lloyd and Harry in the first trailer from Bobby and Peter Farrelly's sequel.
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels return to the roles of Lloyd and Harry in the first trailer from Bobby and Peter Farrelly's sequel.
Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunn will return to theaters one week after the release of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, and one week before The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1.
Just two days after his Emmy win, Jeff Daniels shared a photo of himself and Dumb and Dumber To co-star Jim Carrey reprising their characters from the 1994 original.
The Hit-Girl actress disagrees with co-star Jim Carrey's views on the violence in Kick-Ass 2, saying, "If you are going to believe and be affected by an action film, you shouldn't go to see Pocahontas because you are going to think you are a Disney princess."
Universal Pictures has released more Kick-Ass 2 clips and images, featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace-Moretz, Jim Carrey, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Donald Faison and more.
Appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jeff Daniels called the script for Dumb and Dumber To, and revealed production is set to begin in September for a 2014 release.
Jim Carrey, who portrays Colonel Stars and Stripes in the upcoming Kick-Ass 2, has distanced himself from the film over concerns about its violent content, prompting co-creator Mark Millar to respond to the actor's comments.
Universal Pictures has secured Dumb and Dumber To, the comedy sequel that reunites stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels with the Farrelly brothers.
As Warner Bros. decides to pass on the sequel to Dumb and Dumber, star Jim Carrey is joined by Owen Wilson in Jared Hess' next comedy Loomis Fargo.
A new international trailer for Kick-Ass 2 might look familiar, but it showcases the various fighting styles of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Jim Carrey. The film opens Aug. 16.
At CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Universal Pictures touted its summer slate, including comic-book films R.I.P.D., 2 Guns and Kick-Ass 2, and revealed details on sequels to Fast & Furious, Snow White and the Huntsman, The Bourne Legacy and Pitch Perfect.
A green-band trailer has arrived for Kick-Ass 2 that's basically a toned-down version of what fans have already seen of director Jeff Wadlow's superhero action-comedy sequel.
