Phraeng Phuthon Square
An historic delight
What we say:
The Grand Palace and Wat Pho are indeed awe-inspiring, but nearby, a hidden-away little neighbourhood can also captivate imaginations. Located in the heart of the Rattanakosin historic district, Phraeng Phuthon Square embodies the more modest side of old Bangkok.
Part of an impressive turn of the 20th century architectural campaign by King Rama V that still makes up the face of old Bangkok, Phraeng Phuthon's quiet streets are lined with attractive two-storey colonial European-style shophouses. Immediately after they were built, the Crown Property Bureau began cheaply renting them to locals, including a number of ethnic Chinese immigrants.
More than a century later, little has changed. Local businesses run out of open-fronted ground floors have, in some cases, been in operation for four generations. The locals take pride in their neighbourhood, keeping it clean while filling it with potted plants, Thai flags and artistic touches that come together in charming dishevelment.
In recent times, the authorities made a very wise decision to restore the aging shophouses and officially declare them protected heritage buildings. Unlike many Chinatown residents who rent similar dwellings, the people of Phraeng Phuthon can take comfort in knowing that their homes will not be replaced by a new condo or subway line. The houses were tastefully touched up with cream-coloured paint punctuated by teal and deep blue-green on original wooden shutters.
Aside from the 100 or so shophouses, two other buildings of note are found in Phraeng Phuthon. Once a 19th century prince's palace, the first (pictured above right) has served as Sukhuman Health Centre for upwards of a century. The second — on neighbouring Phraeng Nara — is Talaphat Suksa Schoolhouse. This long-abandoned school could probably use some of the restoration love, but its delicate wood carvings, faded olive green paint and classy French veranda make it as photogenic as ever.
In one corner of Phraeng Phuthon, a local man has run a classic car workshop for decades. The many projects that he leaves sitting on the street — including an early '60s Peugeot and '30s gangster-style Ford last we looked — add to the overall 'back-in-time' quality of the place.
Towards the corner of Tanao, Shikanchaa Cafe serves bitter kopi balanced by sweetened condensed milk in a hall decorated with vintage coffee grinders, old teddy bears and a scruffy but live, not stuffed, toy poodle. Across the street, a few women have sat and sold what we've found to be Bangkok's sweetest and most reasonably-priced mangoes in front of a string of temple supply shops for three decades.
Closer to Bamrung Muang, Arun in Bangkok Art Gallery also serves coffee along with thoughtful rotating art exhibitions that often capture the rustic beauty of traditional Thai life. A few doors down, hole-in-the-wall Nuttaporn has conjured Bangkok's best ice cream from fresh young coconuts for almost as long as ice cream has been known to Thailand.
Street cart highlights include hand-crafted pork balls (look chin muu), homemade khanom beuang (sweets that look like little tacos) and to-die-for egg noodle soup with crab (ba-mii puu), which is only served after dark at the corner of Phraeng Phuthon and Tanao. A few restaurants also serve fantastic central Thai curries or Chinese-style sauteed veggies and roast duck in their tiny four-table dining rooms.
Phraeng Phuthon is also now a part of Bangkok's art renaissance thanks to an annual arts and crafts festival. On this colourful mid December night, the neighbourhood is awash with street performers, handmade lanterns, dozens of crafts tables and some very animated puppets. On any night, the long-running secondhand market just across Khlong Lort offers a chance to score one-of-a-kind works of art — or used socks for 1 baht a piece.
While Phraeng Phuthon won't knock your socks off in the way that, for example, Wat Pho's giant reclining Buddha will, it's the sort of place that gradually works its magic. If you take the time to stroll around, take some pictures, sample the food and be seduced by the laidback air, we think you'll find that it offers the best of everyday Bangkok in one endearing package.
Taxi drivers hardly ever know it by name, but Phraeng Phuthon and neighbouring Phraeng Nara sit in a central old city location. The neighbourhood is flanked by Bamrung Muang, Tanao and Atsadang roads, as well as Khlong Lort canal. Wat Ratchabophit is a short walk south and the Grand Palace is no more than a kilometre to the west. It takes around 15 minutes to walk here from either Khao San Road or Tha Chang express boat pier. If you fancy staying in this area, nearby Feung Nakhon Balcony is an excellent choice.

Fall in the Forest– A Trip to the Minnesota Arboretum
By Mrs. Uzendoski
On October 3rd, Banaadir kindergartners went to the Minnesota Arboretum and learned why trees are our friends! Trees are homes to squirrels and birds such as owls and robins! Trees also give us shade on a hot summer day in Minnesota. They also help us another way—they give us paper! Because trees are so special, we need to take care of them.
The kindergarteners also learned how bugs, mushrooms and worms turn trees into soil! When a tree dies, sow bugs, millipedes and mushrooms change the old wood from the tree into soil. Worms eat dead leaves that turn into soil, too!
On their walk in the Arboretum forest, our kindergarten scientists saw bugs and worms up close. They also examined holes in logs that woodpeckers and bugs made, all helping to turn dead wood into dirt. The students found many beautiful acorns and discovered that they were seeds that would eventually grow into tall oak trees.
What an exhilarating trip for children living in the city to get to walk in a forest on a crisp October day!

This site's name has changed. Follow the link to read the review.
Sweet Amanda is definitely a departure from most of the sites I've visited from this network. The others were decidedly less sweet because they involved very raunchy hardcore, whereas Amanda is mostly a softcore tease. There is some tame lesbo touching and a blowjob, but you won't find any sex.
SweetAmanda doesn't appear to be updating anymore, which is a shame because you will only find 18 good-quality videos to download in Windows Media and MP4 files (which have slightly higher bit rates). You can also stream MP4s in a Flash player. There is a 4000MB daily download limit, but you'll still be able to go with the best option for every video without exceeding it.
One scene shows Amanda on her knees on a bed, pushing aside her little white panties to rub her clit for the camera, whcih is angled up her short kilt. It is pretty softcore, but there's nothing tame about the way this cutie sucks cock in one scene, especially considering that when the dude shoots his wad she swallows it down.
There are also 18 photo galleries where the sexy star of the show poses and strips for the camera. She's a pretty blonde, blue-eyed chick and although the photos are definitely professionally done, I wasn't overly enamored by their tendency to be slightly overexposed.
I am sure they meant to give the shots that ethereal, milky-white, wholesome-goodness kind of feeling, which might appeal to some, but when you want a shot of a gorgeous, innocent starlet, the pictures really should be clear and glossy. At any rate, there are some high-res pics here and there that are quite crisp.
Your membership also gets you access to eight bonus sites, some starring Amanda's girlfriends and others that simply have a wide selection of models, including Thai babes, so be sure to check out Hennessie, Creamed Cuties and Creampie Thais.
A lot of individual models launch a site, update it for several months and then disappear into the ethers. I am disappointed that the star of this collection seems to be another of those girls who show so much potential, but then stop making new content. In the end, I can't recommend Sweet Amanda, because there's too little to see here.

Ashley Dupre: The Next Dr. Philby Free Britney at . Comments
Ashley Dupre - yes, her again - thinks she could be the next Dr. Phil ... in tight pants and stripper heels. Yup, we're talking reality TV style!
Previously, she was in talks to star in a reality show in which she would return to dating and search for a man. Yawn. But this is different.
The guy who brought Amy Fisher and Buttafuocos together for TV is trying to get Ashley Dupre, a.k.a. Ashley Youmans, a.k.a. Ashley DiPietro, a.k.a. Amber Arpaio, a.k.a. Kristen, a.k.a. former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's hooker, a TV deal.
"She sees herself as a kind of Dr. Phil," says David Krieff, reality TV producer, noting that Ashley Dupre already put together a "team" to help guide her career, and they nixed the notion of a Tila Tequila-style dating show.
"They wants something that shows the positive things in her life," says Krieff, presumably without even trying to be ironic.
One positive: She (supposedly) could get $2 million for the deal.
That's even easier money than gold-digging with T.J. Earle!
Its okay that she will get 2 million because the real victim in this is the girl Amber that was brought into this whole scandal. The more money ashley makes, the more money Amber will get. Hopefully Amber has a real good lawyer and will sue for future earnings too.

IG says former VA high-level officials acted improperly
Editor's note: This story was modified after its initial publication to clarify information.
Former Veterans Affairs Department senior officials improperly authorized $75,000 to pay for a master's degree in business for a high-level assistant at the agency, according to a report from the VA's Office of Inspector General.
The officials who approved paying for John English to earn the degree at George Washington University did so without proper justification, states the report. The report was issued in October 2010, but only recently came to light on the IG's redesigned website. English, who began the study program in 2007, was former special assistant to former VA Secretary R. James Nicholson and to former Deputy Secretary Gordon Mansfield.

VA IG finds abuse of authority and ethical breaches
"For tax years 2007 and 2008, Mr. (John) English received about $75,000 in improper academic degree funding in violation of VA policy," James O'Neill, assistant inspector general for investigations, wrote in the report.
The OIG report is the latest to detail allegations of misconduct and ethical breaches that occurred among high-level VA officials under the previous VA secretary in the George W. Bush administration. In two reports in 2009, the inspector general outlined multiple abuses in hiring, travel and bonuses.
The current inspector general's report details a number of alleged improper actions from 2005 to 2009 involving English and his supervisors, which included several executives at the VA's Office of Information and Technology, led by Assistant Secretary Robert Howard and an unnamed Executive Assistant, who has since retired. Howard resigned in January 2009 and was replaced by Roger Baker.
The inspector general recommended that the VA issue forms to English to ensure that the $75,000 is recognized as taxable income, among other measures. Initially the IG had sought to collect the entire amount from English, but relented after the VA Office of General Counsel objected, according to the report.
Baker, responding on behalf of the VA, agreed with the recommendations.

Abuse in general is not often found generally not dealt with if it can be Rationalized. Education is a highly recommended Commodity for government agencies but is sadly not a major part of the higher ring grabbed when filling openings in areas that are better suited for compartmentalized insiders . Who is watching the watchers
Not abuse at all. There are Fed programs for education. All you need do is apply. Some have a payback requirement, others do not. Far too many Feds don't want formal education like Bachelors, Masters, or Doctorate. They would rather waste educational funds going to a "bootcamp" that merely teaches them the answers to a test, not the underlying theory. They ALWAYS want the easy way.
This is clearly a violation of Federal training regulations and grossly unfair to other employees. The same is happing in my agency. One of the "chosen ones" has had his Masters degree and now his Doctoral degree paid for buy my agency. The large expence for his special treatment takes up the majority of my agency's location training budget for the last several years. Basically IT"S UNFAIR,ILLEGAL and JUST WRONG!!
Give me a break!!! This guy has his supervisors approve the training, and then an administration change happens and they can't get their own General Counsel to agree with a reimbursement order. So then the OIG tries to have taxes paid by this GS employee which was approved by SES supervisors? Was any other employees offer the same training opportunity? Your reporting is pretty lazy.
Its abuse! 75,000 is a lot of training for one person. I am having a hard time getting MY supervisor to let me travel 300 miles for training, and its FREE!

simply excellent
I have been looking a while for clips to hang my lights on my vinyl siding. I went to many sites and saw many different types. For the cost I figured if they didn't work, no big deal. I planned an order for 3 packs so if they did work I would be all set to hang all the lights. 2 days later my package arrived. I went right outside and with a pair of channel locks (my hand was hurting) I popped in a clip every 18 inches or so. Simple, just so easy. I put all the clips and lights in 20 minutes. They held up through the New Years Blizzard on the North Shore of Boston. Love this product, wish I thought of it. Lol

Sen. Barrasso's 10-page report, "Red Tape Making Americans Sick," goes where no EPA wonk has gone before — into scientific studies of the link between regulation, unemployment and worsening public health.
The report cites a network of scientific sources confirming that unemployment from EPA regulations increases the likelihood of hospital visits, illnesses and premature deaths due to joblessness, thus increasing health care costs and raising questions about the claimed health savings of EPA's regulations.
Then the senator veered off into what must have been unexpected terrain. He asked, "Has EPA ever done a cumulative impact analysis of all other proposed rules on coal-fired power plants?" He listed several rules, "the cumulative of coal ash, of cooling water intake structures, climate change, cross-state air pollution, as well as mercury reduction?"
McCarthy uncharacteristically stumbled: "We actually have done uh, a … a, our, our analysis, our economic analysis of the [indistinct] cost of state air pollution rules. The other rules that you identified have yet to be finalized."
Barrasso must have realized he hit a nerve. "But EPA has not done a cumulative analysis?"
"We have not, no."

Putin: 'No Reason Not to Sign' US Adoption Ban
Topic: US Adoption Ban
Related News
MOSCOW, December 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he plans to sign into law a controversial bill banning US nationals from adopting Russian children.
"I already received this draft law today from the Federation Council. I have not seen any reason why I should not sign it, although I have to consider the final version and think everything over," Putin said at a meeting of the State Council, a presidential advisory body.
The president said he also intends to sign a decree to provide support to orphans and children in Russia with serious health conditions.
Putin also said that the US authorities have not provided access for inspectors to check on the condition of adopted children.
"There are probably many places in the world where the living standards are better than ours. Will we send all children there?" Putin asked rhetorically. "Will we also move there?"
Should Putin sign the bill, the law will come into force on January 1, 2013, halting the adoption of 46 Russian children by US families whose cases are currently being processed, Russia's ombudsman for child rights, Pavel Astakhov, said on Wednesday.
A number of Russian ministers, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, have criticized the bill, which was approved by the State Duma - the lower house of parliament - on December 21 and by the Federation Council - the upper house - on Wednesday.
The proposed ban is part of Russia's response to the US Magnitsky Act, which was signed into law by US President Barack Obama earlier this month. The act introduces sanctions against Russian officials suspected of human rights abuses and is named after Sergei Magnitsky, a whistleblowing lawyer who died in a Moscow pre-trial detention center in 2009.
The adoption ban under consideration in Moscow is named after a two-year-old Russian boy, Dima Yakovlev, who died in 2008 in the US after being left in a car in hot weather by his adoptive father. The father was later acquitted of manslaughter.
Yakovlev was one of 19 Russian children to have died at the hands of their US adoptive parents since 1999, according to Russian officials. Some 45,000 Russian children have been adopted by US citizens in that time, according to the US State Department.
The Russian public has been largely supportive of the bill, with 56 percent of respondents in an opinion poll conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM) saying they backed a ban on US nationals adopting Russian children.
But opponents of the bill accuse MPs of using orphans as political pawns, and the opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta has collected over 100,000 signatures in an online petition against the ban. The head of the Kremlin's council on human rights said last week that he supported the ban, but also called for a reform of the adoption system to allow Russians to more easily adopt Russian children.
Experts have said the bill, if adopted, would harm Russia's international image.
While the adoption ban is the most controversial aspect of the proposed legislation, the bill puts forward other retaliatory measures as well, such as banning alleged US abusers of Russian citizens' rights from entering Russia and freezing any assets they may have there.

- ruypenalvaThis should be combined21:19, 27/12/2012This ban should be combined with social measures addressing theses orphans. There are place better to live than USA where firearms are marketed freely.

- bielecTrue01:16, 28/12/2012Americans push their stinking noses in internal matters of other nations all the time. They somehow feel that they are entitled to dictate to others what to do and what not to do.
They started this round of political blows by meddling in Russian elections and trying to incite a public unrest. In response, Russia introduced the NGO - Foreign Agent act. Then, the U.S. implemented the Magnitsky act. Now, we have the adoption restriction bill that is perfectly justified by the incident of abuse and neglect of a Russian boy adopted by American parents.
Will somebody finally tell the Americans to go home and mind their own business?
- jgThis will really hurt the Americans06:21, 28/12/2012We won't let those nasty Americans look after all our children that we don't care about and have left to rot in under-funded orphanages.
- bielecEducation10:55, 28/12/2012Why to send Russian kids to the U.S. where media became a propaganda tool and the education system has been so downgraded that it produces robots unable to think independently? These kids are better off in Russian orphanages than in this paradise of hypocrisy where the elites and governments deliberately engage in dumbing down of the nation.
jg, don't write "we" - you are not Russian, that's evident from your post.
- arsanlupinI agree Completely!!!05:07, 30/12/2012Leave all those children in Russian Orphanages and Russian foster families – where they are dying at a rate 65 times as much as they have been in the USA. Why send 70,000 Russian orphans to America, where 19 of them died (none by firearms)? Keep them in Russia, where 1220 died in the same time period! Nothing but the best for Russia's children! It will better prepare them for adulthood, where all of the military recruits are used as slave labor for their commanding officers' profit, where their seniors mercilessly haze and beat and brutalize them, killing more than 10,000 every year. It will also better prepare them for a life in a country where the median lifespan for men is less than 60 years old.
My God - your blind hatred (accent on the "blind") would have you condemn thousands of Russian children to a life of suffering and abuse and premature death, simply to annoy the people of another country! What kind of mental disease ails you, to make you so subhuman? I'll bet you've never even set foot in the former Soviet Union – no REAL Russian would be so deranged as you are. You are one very sick mother …
You look for an excuse from outside because you cannot admit the Russian government is so corrupt it's distorting the country's economy. You cannot admit that REAL Russians (which leaves you out) would protest something their government did. You cannot admit that REAL Russians have enough brains to know when they are being treated like trash by their own government. . You cannot admit that REAL Russians would DARE to voice their opposition to election fraud so rampant that Youtube needed 5 new servers to hold all the "candid camera" videos of the cheating! You are deluding only yourself – because REAL Russians know the truth.
You also cannot admit that someone else might be right – that Russia's orphanages really are chronically under-funded. That's because you never saw one. I've seen one – because I was there.

Tips to take on veterinary practice ownership
Dr. Ross Clark, the Veterinary Economics Practice Management Editor and owner of Woodland West Animal Hospital and Pet Resort in Tulsa, Okla., has more tips for associate veterinarians who want to own the practice in which they currently work—or develop the skills to build or buy one in the future.
Show interest. Talk to the practice owner. Are there additional responsibilities you could take on as part of the practice management team? Could you help manage the hospital's personnel or take charge of inventory and pharmacy orders?
Educate yourself. Attend seminars and continuing education meetings on practice management. Start a collection of management ideas from veterinary magazines, websites, and advice you've gathered from other practice owners. (Hint, hint, dvm360.com.)
Plan ahead. It's difficult for new, debt-laden veterinary graduates to buy or build a practice in today's economy. Recent graduates should discuss opportunities to buy into a practice during their interviews. If owning is your goal and no opportunity exists to buy in, take a job elsewhere.

College Hoops 2K6 combines solid graphics/controls, with a deep Legacy mode, that should keep your attention far past this NCCA season.
Greg Gumble and Clark Kellogg do a nice job with postgame highlights and their "Selection Sunday" show lends real NCAA flavor to the proceedings. In the booth, Vern Lundquist and Bill Rafferty do a solid job of keeping commentary interesting.
One thing 2K Sports continually proves, however, is that it can bring the game even when it doesn't look as sharp as the competition.
A solid and engrossing basketball game that may lack the high quality presentation and panache of EA's NCAA franchise, but holds its own with an engaging and fairly deep set of options and selectable play modes.
If you are looking for a graphical prowess to be found in your college hoops game, look elsewhere.
It's just not very exciting to play or to watch, and for a college basketball game that just shouldn't be the case. [Mar 2006, p.90]

AndrewC.Dec 28, 2005I'm not saying this is a sub-par game compared to previous years, it's not bad at all. It just doesn't have the fun factor that previous games have had. The new controls are also a bit confusing, making for a fairly-steep learning curve. The legacy mode is still solid, though, and the game itself is still worth at least a rental if you're a fan of college basketball.… Collapse

Chris's Yorkshire Yummies
Yorkshire Recipes
Curd Tart, Oatcakes, Dumpling, Parkin, Yorkshire Pudding
The good old favourite parkin is a rather filling ginger cake made with oatmeal and treacle. It is ideal fodder in the 'parky' weather November brings and is traditionally eaten on Bonfire Night - if you still have room for it after the roasted potatoes and pea soup. (I have yet to meet a Yorkshireman who doesn't have room for a bit of parkin!)
Going through the old family recipe books, I came across no less than 34 different recipes for parkin, some dating back well into the nineteenth century and possibly earlier. Most of the recipes are quite similar but some are unusual, containing such ingredients as chopped nuts and even beer! I have to admit to trying out only a few of these but here they all are, anyway:
33 Parkin RecipesSome of the parkin recipes are eggless, so I've adapted them as Vegan recipes:
12 Vegan Parkin Recipes
Oatcakes (Haverbread)
Oatcakes have been a traditional food in Yorkshire for many centuries, dating back at least to the time of the Norse settlement. The common name for them throughout many parts of Yorkshire - haverbread, havercakes or tharve-cakes - comes from the old Norse word for oats, hafre, which also gave us the haversack, a satchel for carrying oats. Other names for oatcakes stem from some of the ways they are made: clapbread is made by clapping, or beating, dough into the correct shape with the hands; riddle cakes are made from batter which is shaped on a riddle and should not be confused with griddle cakes which are any sort of flat bread or cake baked on a griddle.
Traditionally, the dough or batter used for oatcakes was made in a wooden kneading trough, the knade-kit, but a modern glass mixing bowl is quite adequate. Oatcakes were usually baked on a backstone. This was made of mudstone, a type of stone which splits into smooth, flat layers. When properly prepared, it is resistant to burning, warping and fracturing, and can be placed directly on an open fire or in the oven. The modern equivalent, a descendant of the backstone, is the griddle, and if you don't have a griddle, then a large, flat-bottomed cast-iron frying pan, or skillet, will serve almost as well.
The dough method of making oatcakes is a simple process. The dough may be divided into pieces and flattened with the hands (clapbread) or it can be rolled out and cut into circles, squares or triangles. This type of oatcake is often baked in the oven rather than on a griddle or backstone.
4 Oatcake (Haverbread) Recipes Using DoughThe traditional method of making oatcakes (riddle cakes) is to use a dropping batter. It can be a complicated process but results in lighter cakes. The batter is dropped on to the riddle - or on to a wooden board known as a backboard - which is covered with a layer of fine or medium oatmeal, and shaken to spread it to the correct thickness. It is then slid off the riddle onto a board covered in muslin to prevent them sticking. When several are ready, they are slid off or flipped (depending on how daring you are) onto the hot backstone. A pastry board coated with oatmeal and a large spatula should suffice today for experimenting with this traditional method of preparation. The recipes I have are less adventurous and go for the simpler method of dropping the batter directly onto the griddle.
4 Oatcake (Haverbread) Recipes Using BatterOatcakes can be eaten hot from the griddle, with or without butter, but they were traditionally left to cool when they become dry and crisp. They are usually eaten buttered and go well with either a savoury or a sweet topping. Try toasting them, either plain or covered with a mixture of egg and grated cheese. If your arteries are still soft enough, they do fry very nicely with a thick rasher of fatty bacon, a couple of eggs and a slice or two of black pudding.
Oaty Dumplings
If you like your oats, try this oaty dumpling recipe:
Yorkshire Pudding
Believe me, there is no secret to making a successful Yorkshire Pudding. The only requirement is that you were born in Yorkshire. So, while David's puddings rise with the lightness of cumulus clouds, mine just sulk in the bottom of the tin and go black at one corner.
What restaurants serve, along with roast beef, is "Not Yorkshire Pudding." Yorkshire Pudding is plate-sized and served on its own before the meat. In spring, it is liberally coated in mint sauce. For the rest of the year, it is smothered in thick gravy.
Sieve 6 ozs finest plain flour together with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Break in one large egg and add a splosh of milk. Mix to a smooth paste, then add milk a little at a time, stirring with increasing vigour as the mixture becomes thinner. Continue this process until you're frantically beating at the batter to stop it escaping and it's thin enough to run off the spoon, leaving it clean. Set it aside while you prepare the main course and collapse with a well-earned Floydian glass of wine.
Pre-heat the oven at mark 7 or 8 until the ambient temperature in the kitchen exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Put a knob of fat - beef dripping or, for vegetarians, solid vegetable fat - into a 7 by 9 inch Yorkshire Pudding tin and warm in the oven until the fat begins to smoke. While the tin is warming, add 2 tablespoons of cold water to the batter, beating gently. The next stage should ideally take no more than four seconds: Whip the tin out of the oven, tip in the batter, give it a quick swirl and back into the oven with it. Turn the oven down to mark 6. Now go out of the kitchen and have a 20 minute sherry.
Curd Tarts (Yorkshire Cheesecake)
Yorkshiremen might be noted for their fussiness about Yorkshire Puddings but, believe me, that's nothing to the perfection they demand in their curd tarts - although any less than perfect tarts seem to disappear just as quickly!
Traditionally a food of the sheep-shearing season and Whitsuntide, curd tarts are ideal for picnics throughout the summer and for breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon snack, tea and supper at any time of year.
Curds can sometimes be bought ready made, or substitutes, such as curd cheese, cottage cheese or fromage frais used instead. None of these will give you the "Real Yorkshire Curd Tart" and if you try it, you might just as well buy your train ticket out of the County at the same time. Fortunately, curds are quite easy to make.
Making CurdsThe standard curd tart is about 7 - 8 inches diameter, and the 'snack' size about 4 inches, but if you ask the vicar to tea, you might want to make them even smaller.
10 Traditional Curd Tart RecipesHere are a couple of variations using curd cheese which generally produces a cheesier flavoured tart.
2 Curd Cheese Tart RecipesFinally, here are 8 recipes for anyone who doesn't like the taste or texture of anything cheesy but fancies this sort of tart.
