For the second year in a row, using exclusive data developed by Dr. Andrew Schiller's team at NeighborhoodScout.com, and based on FBI data from all 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, WalletPop reveals the most dangerous neighborhoods with the highest predicted rates of violent crime in America.
You may ask, why neighborhoods and not cities? Schiller explains that even the cities with the highest crime rates can have relatively safe neighborhoods, and thus it is less useful to generalize about an entire city.
This list counts down from 15 to the most dangerous neighborhood in the country.

I was told in my other thread to pop the lids off my cider bottles while they were fermenting. I thought i would have a try.
A drank a cup. Now im feeling tipsy. I'm just wondering, are there any health risks associated with drinking cider that is still fermenting or has only just fermented for that matter? Is it less risky to drink it once it has aged?
If anyone cares to know, it tasted delicious. Much better than I expected it to taste.
Pretty safe. The only "problem" is that you may be "playing the trumpet" later on
Yeast is full of vitamin B complex, aside from the alcohol, it's good for you!
The yeast can give you the "runs" if you drink a lot.
Wait....pop the lids off the bottles while they are still fermenting? Hopefully you mean "buckets" or "carboys"
It sounded like you were talking about glass bottles and cider that had not been finished fermenting, if that were the case I would say yeah there are a few "health risks" and I'd advise in a good set of ear muffs or plugs and some safety glasses.

Moving to Lower East Side (Clinton & Grand St)
Looking for delivery/take-out ideas of all types. I'm particularly excited about my proximity to Chinatown but can't wait to build a list of quality delivery ideas. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and thoughts. I know this is a fairly open ended posting but the more ideas the merrier! Thanks again-
re: tamasha
Isabellas Piza Oven-Fsbulous
re: DoctortedNYC
I'm curious - what makes it so fabulous?
re: tamasha
It's made in a brick oven and the crust is light and blistered and elastic and all the things you want for a neapolitan pie. The toppings are good Italian ingredients like San Daniele prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella.
For sushi, I order from Jin on Grand and Broome. It's not fabulous but it's pretty good. As far as Chinese goes, I call the Grand Sichuan on St. Mark's every so often to see if I can trick them into going below Houston, but to no avail yet. I feel like a lot of the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown don't deliver, but maybe I'm wrong?
re: traceybell
when i moved to the les, i was surprised at how many places did deliver as long as you were at or below delancey. it's pretty much a matter of wandering around and getting menus.
re: DoctortedNYC
I don't think it fabulous. I have tried it twice and both times was not impressed. The pizza toppings were very chinzy.
re: Nick F.
Most of those places will NOT deliver to Clinton/Grand, btw.
re: Nick F.
I didn't know katz's delivers to Grand street. nice to know. Its funny after all these years their products are still pretty good.
re: mstropicana
The delivery minimum is something outrageous and mostly pertains to catering orders
If you visit SeamlessWeb.com or Delivery.com, you'll get a list of 20 or so restaurants that deliver to you. Of those, I've had decent food from Golden Flower, Urban Lobster, Buddha Bodai, Bagus Malaysian, Two Boots & Koo Sushi. Other good local places that deliver are Jin (as mentioned, and it's good, but expensive), LES Sushi, Congee Village (my favorite), Goodies (my second favorite), Thai on Clinton, Jeeb & El Maguey y La Tuna (but not on Sunday. or Monday. or if they're too busy).
I would not recommend ordering in from Isabella's. The pizza is fine - I would definitely not go all the way to fabulous - but it doesn't travel well. Katz's delivers, but they have a $50 minimum or something equally outrageous.
If you're in the coops, haunt the mailboxes: there are lots of menus lying around. Beware Empire Szechuan, which is a good rule of thumb wherever you live.
Tiengarden has good Asian-style vegan food, not as authentic as Chinatown but good if you're feeling like healthy takeout.
Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop is great, and L.E.S. Sandwicherie also has good sammys.
People mentioned Jin for sushi. I also really like Sachiko's, though I've only eaten in, never delivery.
I live on the lower eastside - not many places that deliver - Ronalds on Orchard street does and their food is pretty good. I would just walk around the area so many good restaurants have opened and probably some do deliver. Also, chinese place on grand next to flower cafe delivers and the chinese place next to fine fare delivers.
San Loco has decent fast fresh Mexican- and the Stanton St. location delivers until 4 am on weekends!
Mole on Allen for great tacos. I get my sushi from this place called Friend House on 8(??) and Ave B. The fish is always so fresh and never fishy -- love their tri color sashimi dinner: huge huge chunks of salmon, hamachi and tuna with seaweed salad. Tiny's as someone mentioned for excellent and cheap sandwiches. Congee Village for Chinese - love their salty spicy crab. Haveli on 2nd ave for great Indian food. Pho Grand for Pho and awesome spring rolls wrapped with lettuce. Village Mingala on 7th street for Burmese (burmese food is like a combo of chinese and indian). As for pizza or pasta have to agree with a previous posters, those things don't travel well??
I believe all that i listed should deliver to you as I'm on Orchard and Rivington.
re: banjolinana
friend house is actually on 3rd ave and 13th st, but their delivery area is huge and they should go to clinton and grand. i've never tried their sushi, but their chinese menu is basic americanized selections made with ingredients a cut above storefront takeout jointst.
i love congee village, but i find them really unreliable for delivery.
for vietnamese, nam son delivers to the les (and i like them quite a bit) and if you'd like excellent malaysian food, then call skyway (on allen below canal). really fantastic place - you can do a search to find recommended dishes.
i recommend: brown (hester between essex/ludlow), dash dogs (rivington/norfolk), schillers (rivington/norfolk) two boots (grand/norfolk), falai cafe (not the restaurant - it's on the SW corner of rivington/clinton), el castillo de jaguar (sp? two locations - one on rivington, the other on grand - far east, near hillman/amalgamated co ops). paradou, the LES offshoot of the meatpacking restaurant in the essex street market (delancy/essex) is also good. shopsins and saxelby's cheese are in the same complex. they might be good take out options as well. welcome to the neighborhood - i'm in seward park too!

Members and friends of South Plains Presbyterian Church knitted more than 1,800 baby caps.
The caps will be sent to the Medical Benevolence Foundation. From there, they'll go to mission hospitals around the world.
They're headed to hospitals where there is no heat to keep newborns warm.
Pat Valentine, who is involved with mission work at the church, says the number of infant deaths from hypothermia is enormous and a cap can save a baby's life.
In addition to caps, the church is also sending teddy bears and baby gowns.

I was listening to an episode of This American Life on NPR when a particular segment struck me. The segment featured conversations between a writer and her homeless friend and begins with them getting a bite to eat at a restaurant. As the topics unfolded, the conversation turned toward what the difference is between the homeless friend knowing he would be sleeping on the street that night vs. having a bed for the night vs. having a bed for 16 straight nights in a longer-term shelter. The writer's friend referred to a movie scene to explain the impact of having secured a bed for 16 nights. In the movie scene, the actor enters the shelter room, similar to a hotel room, sits on the bed and then closes his eyes and slowly sinks into the softness; the softness which would be his for 16 straight nights. And what the softness represents is ... possibilities. Specifically, it represents the possibility that one could survive this - whatever "this" is for each of us.
And I believe that is where consumers are at right now. How easy would it be for this homeless man to give up and not believe that there are possibilities for him – quite easy I would suspect in his circumstance. But he has not lost his optimism, and it takes but the simple luxury of being able to sink into a mattress to revive his thoughts of his own possibilities.
Almost daily I read reports in the media telling of consumer doom and gloom. How restaurant visits are down, consumer confidence is down, private label is attractive, coupons are attractive and on and on. But the reports that I most appreciate and which are the most useful are those which compare sentiment and behavior to what consumers were doing during the economic crisis – now that is useful information.
For example, AlixPartners did a study in the second quarter 2011 and found that 70 percent of consumers dined out at least weekly, a 43 percent increase over the first quarter of 2010. And it was Nielsen that reported that 45 percent of consumers currently say they are eating out less often at restaurants to save money, down from 52 percent who said they were doing so in 2008. Another great example was from a COLLOQUY study which recently reported that 58 percent of U.S. consumers often have conversations with family, friends and coworkers about products and services they have used, down 20 percent from 2008.
The final example is more subtle in its implications but massive in meaning. When consumers are in a recession and displaying fearful behavior, they rely more on social networking and have more conversations with people around them before making decisions – decisions on food, movies, clothes, computers, everything. They cannot afford mistakes financially or emotionally during a crisis. It is part of the Clanning phenomenon (gathering behavior). When coming out of a crisis, economic or other, they behave more confidently, bravely and consequently rely on others less to assist with their decisions. This behavioral shift is occurring more often in Gen X and older; Gen Y is still behaving dependently. So that this study shows a 20 percent decrease in this reliant behavior is also speaking to consumers' confidence.
Their confidence is translated into optimism and can be seen in their behavior towards food and other areas of their lives. Food trends right now have shifted away from comfort and back towards adventure. When you see the spotlight turn away from mac and cheese, apple pie, cheap wine, and meatloaf and toward grits, gelato, cocktails of all sorts, and insects – my friend, be assured, you are looking in the face of optimism. The Labor department agrees, too, that although consumers are being cautious (and smartly so), they are not panicked and they are not willing to give up their new found optimism. The message here is, don't focus on the numbers being reported as much as the change in numbers so you have a better feel for shifts in consumer mood.
And join me in keeping your fingers crossed that the neon green computer sleeves, Hibiscus colored dinner plates, and satellite pink and black sneakers keep selling because the second they all go to earth tones – it will be time to panic!

|The idea for Angela's Garden took root in Spring, 2005. While shopping for a pair of gardening gloves, we realized there was nothing that fit well, was comfortable and looked pretty. So we decided to create a line of gardening gloves and accessories that were highly- functional and almost as beautiful as the gardens themselves. With years of passion and experience in dress glove construction, our factory has been able to create a high-quality and well-fit garden glove. We use the same dress glove construction techniques used in gloves sold at the finest stores in the US and the UK.

This pole is strong, taller than most, and easily assembled. The ground is still frozen here, so the birds and I are eagerly awaiting spring.

Your windows are a great way to show the world how much you care about your home, and they should be as well looked after as your carpets or furniture. According to an article in the Daily Mail the average woman in the UK spends 1 and a half years cleaning her home, but all of that time is wasted if no attention is paid to the windows. Dirty windows or scruffy curtains can ruin the way a room looks, so here are a few tips to make your windows look their best.

Postgame Quotes
Nov. 1, 2012
Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
Postgame Quotes
Minnesota 81, Minnesota State 56 (exh.)
Minnesota Head Coach Tubby Smith
On the game:
"We appreciate Minnesota State. They came in and I thought they played extremely well. Obviously they've got a lot of new faces, and Matt Margenthaler does a good a job. I know they've been coming off a tough season but they looked like they were going to be okay this year. I thought that overall we did some good things and it was a good to see Mo Walker played the way he played tonight we haven't seen him play like that in two years and he was really and giddy and excited to be out there. Trevor (Mbakwe) looked good and it's good to have him back especially with both of them coming off their knee surgeries and recoveries. I thought Joe Coleman was just outstanding. He played so hard and (he and) Austin (Hollins) both I think had really good night. We did some good things and there are some things we need to improve on, like taking care of the ball, rebounding and getting to the free throw line and I thought tonight we really didn't do those things well. "
On his choice of timing for when he put Mbakwe and Walker in the game:
"Just based on how the other guys were playing. We're going to try and get them in there as much as possible and see how they would look, and how they would respond. I wanted that first unit to get some quality time and they went for a good seven minutes.
Minnesota Players
Guard Joe Coleman
On if maintaining intensity was emphasized:
"Yeah, definitely. We definitely had some games last year where we were up and ended up losing the lead or letting it get close. I feel like we just have to keep the pedal to the metal and just keep playing like it is the beginning of the game. If you start letting up it is going to create bad habits and you don't want that."
On how he would rate the team's overall performance tonight:
"I would say it was pretty good. We have some things to work on like offensive rebounding, defensive rebounding, turnovers, and I'd say being more aggressive. Not too many of us got to the line as much as we probably wanted or as much as coach Smith wanted so I would say we have got to work on that."
On the difference for him this year compared to last year:
"I would say this year that I'm definitely more comfortable and more what coach Smith wants out of me. That is what is best for the team, so I just try to push that. I may handle the ball more this year, so that's something I have been working on. Coming off ball screens is something we have been working on and it was pretty successful tonight."
Forward Trevor Mbakwe
Forward Rodney Williams Jr.
Minnesota State Head Coach Matt Margenthaler
"We gave up 74-percent shooting in the first half and we shoot 22-percent. I thought we got some good shots. I think we have a very good basketball team. For Division II, in our league, we are going to be just fine. I really like our team a lot going into the league. This is a positive for us. We have 10-deep that can play at our level."

Raw Cauliflower Nigiri Sushi
I was going to write a post for Thursday but somehow after the shootings on Wednesday, I didn't feel like blogging. Thankfully everyone I know is fine and it is mostly back to business.
These are a cute appetizer if I ever saw one. Displaying cauliflower's prowess in the kitchen, it lends as a fun rice substitute for these mock sushi nigiri. I like parsnip's sweet undertones for sushi (see here and here) so I used a ripe mango to offset the dish with more sweetness. Although the biggest trick for these is definitely how to keep it all together.
The secret is psyllium. There was a time when I made microwave chocolate psyllium cakes fairly regularly (pun unintended) but mostly because they were easy and single-serve. These are a bit more labour intensive (but too cute), so I understand if you turn them into regular sushi rolls, too. I can see myself adding psyllium to raw sushi rolls next time, simply to help them keep their shape better, especially after cutting.
Are you tired of cauliflower yet? I have a lot more recipes to share. :)

Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Fried Capers and Pickled Currants
Welcome to my latest obsession: fried capers.
If you have yet to try them yet, try to imagine how they would taste. Crunchy, salty little nibbles. It surprised me how much they taste like popcorn, I kid you not. Combined with the pickled currants (tart and sweet), and the avocado (creamy!), this salad was perfectly balanced. I know I say that a lot here, but this salad rises above its peers. It could possibly be my best salad of the year. I thought my Cali-Coco BLT Salad was the best so far, but this week I switched allegiances. It could possibly usurp the former champion, crowned in 2011: The New Best Salad Ever aka Roasted Garlic Tofu Salad with Cilantro Rice, Black Beans and a Mango Salsa.
I am no stranger to quick pickled dried fruits, but the benefit of pickling dried currants instead of raisins, is that you don't get the goopy juicy raisins that don't particularly appeal to me.
My inspiration for this fascinating combination was the ever-fabulous Deb of Smitten Kitchen, although I changed many things, including adding the much maligned leafy greens. I also chose to roast my cauliflower and added the fantastically creamy avocado. I look forward to trying her riced fresh cauliflower in the warmer months. The fried capers? Completely her idea. Her poetic prose made me stock up on capers pronto:
Crispy fried capers are one of my favorite garnishes, ever. They are way more interesting than bacon bits — yes, I said it. When you drop capers (that you've patted out on paper towels as best as possible) in a little puddle of oil, magical things happen — their layers curl out and crisp, like the world's tiniest blooming onion. Like all fried, crunchy things, they don't keep long under the weight of dressing; I recommend adding them only right before serving. I usually use brined capers for this, but both brined and salt-packed will work.
Um yeah, totally try them out. Please.

Cali-Coco BLT Quinoa Salad
You are too nice. I ran into the same low-light problem when photographing this salad after work. I wanted my standard front view and top view, but it was too blurry and grainy to work. I suppose that is when fun filters hide photographer faults? ;)
In any case, I decided the salad was too sweet not to share. Who knows how long my avocados will keep!
My inspiration came from a meal I shared with Gabby at a hipster restaurant with a few vegan-friendly options. They veganized their Cali-Coco BLT sandwich which had a thick layer of sliced avocado, coconut bacon, tomato, arugula and vegan mayonnaise on a ciabatta bun. Apparently, avocado + BLT = a California BLT. I also had a side of dal frites (yes a curry and fries poutine!), which was positively too much food.
I was still excited about recreating this at home, though. Unsweetened coconut chips were tricky to locate but my Mom helped locate these wonderfully shaped coconut slices. I am used to smaller coconut chips, so this was great. While I used mine with a salad, I think these bigger pieces would work better in sandwiches, too.
I used my previous recipe for coconut bacon, added half an avocado, a handful of cherry tomatoes, a mound of arugula and then fortified it with cooked quinoa and smoked tofu. Rob thinks the smoked tofu looks like cheese, but I swear it is not. Mash up the avocado with each bite but I will admit I scooped a bit of garlic-infused mayo aioli with each bite as a quasi dressing. Delicious!
Now who wants a dal frites recreation? I am trying to convince Rob to combine our favourite beer-soaked fries with dal bhat!

Mexican Spinach Salad with Salsa Baked Tofu Recipe
I just might need a very pretty picture to knock me out of a bloggers block. A simple recipe, I really only gave directions for the salsa baked tofu and told you what else I included in my salad. No measuring, just plating and eating.
I tried a bit harder to make this salad pretty.
It is kind of a cross between my quick and easy salsa chickpea tacos and my older Mexican salad with a creamy tomato saucy dressing with a little old school baked tofu. Yum!
I am sharing this with Bookmarked Recipes and Souper Sundays.
Eccentric Caesar Salad & Straight From the Earth Review+Giveaway
This post is a twofer.
First of all, I have a gift for all of you! A free Beyond Meat product – click here for your coupon.
I don't tend to get too excited about mock meats (it is a bit processed for my liking), but was really curious after it was selected as the "real chicken" on the Today's Show. Some things are easier to find in the United States, so with a coupon for a free product (see above), how could we refuse? Beyond Meat isn't new, but it was new to me and definitely uncannily similar to chicken, complete with the grill marks. You buy it frozen and just need to defrost it prior to serving. Thus, it was super easy to make and great source of protein.
Now for the book review, as advertised, with an eccentric Caesar salad. Eccentric because it is no standard Caesar. I mean, it is a vegan version of a decidedly un-vegan salad but the twist comes from the nutritional yeast and curry powder in the dressing and the mishmash of additional ingredients. The cashew-based dressing was simply delicious, aka awesome sauce. Paired with the fresh lettuce, buttery avocado, briny capers and hemp seeds, it was a superfood-packed salad. (And by superfoods, I mean super tasting foods!) Instead of the herby croutons, I wanted this to be a complete meal and thus added the chicken-less strips overtop. The strips look a bit too perfectly rectangular but they tasted great.
The recipe comes from Straight from the Earth, by mother and daughter team Myra and Marea Goodman of Earthbound Farm fame. Neither one is vegan but have created a gorgeous cookbook filled with tantalizing recipes. There is something for everyone between the two cooks. I found myself naturally gravitating to Marea's recipes, who learned her vegan culinary tricks while living and cooking for fellow vegans in a co-op while at college. Her mother's tastes are more classical. As an example, Marea has a recipe for chipotle-lime Brazil nuts and Myra has a recipe for double-roasted maple-spiced hazelnuts. OK, OK, both sound delicious. Lots of delicious recipes, including a nut-free crispy baked kale chips with nutritional yeast and shiitake mushroom, water chestnut and tofu lettuce cups.
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe and giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the continental United States. To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me what you think of mock meats. The winner will be selected at random on June 8, 2014. Good luck!

Raw Grasshopper Crepes (Chocolate Crepes filled with an Avocado-Mint Cream)
I may have been late to the Valentine's Day dessert sharing by a week and truthfully, Pancake Tuesday was never on my radar.
Since there is a create-eat-blog lag, obviously, I need to be thinking about upcoming holidays months in advance. Red for Valentine's Day? No. Green. Green is the new red, right? With what, St Patrick's Day in March, right?
Joking aside, because I really don't need an excuse to make a fun raw crepe inspired by one of my favourite childhood desserts: grasshopper crepes. My mom may chime whether this recipe is close to what she used to make: a marshmallow-cream filling spiked with creme de menthe is surrounded by a paper-thin chocolate crepe. YES! Of course, I haven't had it in ages, but the classic flavours of chocolate and mint never fail.
I used an old favourite recipe for the chocolate banana crepes but switched up the filling by whipping together avocado, frozen banana and mint. I prefer the flavour from the mint extract instead of the mint leaves, but the mint leaves kind-of-sort-of made the filling green. I should have added a touch of spirulina to really make it sparkle!
This is my submission to this week's Raw Food Thursdays, Dead Easy Desserts and Cooking with Herbs.
Raw Brownie Cake with a Chocolate Avocado Frosting
Remember Valentine's Day? I reneged on my promise to make dessert. Rob had no problem coming up with an alternative. In fact, he was happy when I said I didn't have the time to make my dessert of choice. He had already planned the whole meal!
The week post-V-Day is always special for us because we celebrate Rob's birthday and our anniversary, so I eventually made my planned dessert, too. Our stash of avocados were perfectly ripe and could I really ignore an excuse to try out a new coconut flour-based dessert?
I cobbled together a delicious dessert from a few places. The base is inspired by Emma's Raw Brownies but I topped it with a chocolate avocado frosting, based on my chocolate avocado mousse. To get a firm frosting, I used juicy Medjool dates as the sweetener (with a dash of agave only because I ran out of dates) along with a touch of lemon juice to balance the flavours. Next time, I might try a spiced version with cinnamon and cardamom again (like in my mousse).
Because I smushed this into a springform pan, this is more like a brownie cake. The brownie was delicious and it was amazingly fudgy and moist for a raw/no-cook dessert. Unlike my walnut-based raw brownie, this was lighter in texture due to the coconut flour (but more fudgy than my raw chocolate zucchini muffin). Plus the frosting just sealed the deal: delicious decadence. I highly recommend this. Although make no mistake, this is a decadent and filling treat.
This is my submission to this month's Four Seasons Food, Dead Easy Desserts and Tea Time Treats.
PS. Here's a shout-out to my Mom who got me a small off-set spatula. Which I totally used to frost the brownies. :)

South of the Border Tortilla Soup (& No Meat Athlete Review+Giveaway)
With Olympic fever set anew, I felt a tad guilty sitting on my latest find. Perhaps you have already heard about it? Matt's book, No Meat Athlete: part nutrition advice for athletes, part vegan transition guide, and part cookbook. Matt freely admits he is your typical average guy. No Olympian-in-training, but through his quest to qualify and run the Boston Marathon, he picked up the vegan bug and pushed himself to the next level.
I am certainly no runner. Cycling is my sport of choice. However, his story echoes my own. While learning to best prepare my (formerly?) non-athletic self to cycle a double imperial century ride (361 km/224 mi), I discovered the benefits of vegan foods. I fell hard for the advantages of regular exercise (no pun intended on my knees). At the time, I cobbled together bits and pieces of my culinary and cycling journey through books mainly by Brendan Brazier with a shout-out for women's cycling guides.
At the time, veganism was not mainstream (and is still not popular – only 2% call themselves vegan in the US) which makes this book perfect. This guide is perfect for the beginner: the beginner to vegan eats, the beginner to fuelling yourself as an athlete and the beginner to running (or any endurance sport). Pick any of the three and you will glean something from Matt's quest to inform himself to conquer his athletic goals. This is not to say that if you have any experience in any of these areas you will not gain more information, you might, or it may remind you to try new things, inspire you to run a marathon, or simply eat good food.
His advice for athletes are pertinent for most cardio-intensive sports (like cycling), although he has specific advice for a beginner who wants to learn how to run. The best part is that Matt shares his favourite recipes to fuel you, too.
All of Matt's recipes are catered to optimal nutrition. Fast, healthy and tasty. Approachable dinner meals like Variations on Beans and Rice (I really liked his Mexican version) and desserts like black bean brownies. He also offers blueprints for creating your own culinary masterpieces: The Perfect Smoothie Formula, Your Own Energy Bar Recipe, or The Incredible Veggie Burger Formula. For the athletes, there are sport-specific recipes like chia fresca, homemade energy gels and homemade sports drink.
Nutrition aside, it must taste good, too, and these do not disappoint.
I was not joking about eating tacos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After the tacos were no longer fresh, no longer as soft as a baby's bum, I resorted to Matt's recipe: South of the Border Tortilla Soup. Not your typical tortilla soup topped with tortillas, rather the tortillas are blended INSIDE your soup. Before I found corn tortillas in Houston, I considered substituting masa harina/masa arepa, but now I had no excuse. Make thee some Mexican-inspired soup.
Black beans, corn, green chiles, tomatoes, cumin and corn tortillas. All in one soup. Topped with avocado and cilantro. It reminded me of a grown-up version of one of my favourite soups from university: stupid easy black bean and salsa soup. I tried to stay as true to Matt's recipe for reviewing purposes but his suggestion to pan-fry the tortillas did not work so easily for me. Baking them might actually be easier which is what I shared in the following recipe. In any case, a big pot of delicious soup. For athletes and non-athletes alike.
Thankfully, the publisher is letting me give a cookbook to one reader living in the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom (YES!). To be entered, please leave a comment here, telling me what kind of exercise you enjoy or your favourite recipe you have tried (or want to try) from Matt's website No Meat Athlete. I will randomly select a winner on February 22, 2014. Good luck!

Cucumber Avocado Sandwiches With Dill and Mint
Time flies. I have already passed the 4 month mark. One-third of my time in Houston. I already know what I will remember the most. Mosquitoes and potlucks. The mosquitos are relentless and well, I am discovering the joys of vegan potlucks.
I have been to many a potluck, but usually that means I bring a dish I will be eating. It is usually the only vegan component and I try to make it a complete meal, like a hearty bean or whole grain salad. Even though that is my specialty, it kind of limits my repertoire.
All vegan potlucks are a whole other ballpark. I know I will find plenty of food (and they have been really tasty!) and therefore, I can branch out to try something new. Furthermore, some foods lend better to a buffet set-up than others, so I have been testing out new ideas.
Enter the cucumber sandwich. Not a tea sandwich, this one replaces the bread for cucumber, creating a crunchy bite-sized nimbler. Easy to add to your plate and no fussy sauce that can leach and contaminate the next dish over. (I have adopted the 2 plate strategy for potlucks- 1 plate for savoury and 1 plate for desserts!) Perfect for those who want a gluten-free and nut-free snack… and raw, to boot. For me right now, raw has become more synonymous with easy food prep.
This dish, while easy to prep, is a bit more fussy than my typical one-pot meals. Puree your cucumber and lemon juice into a mayonnaise-like consistency and pulse in the cool and crisp cucumbers and herbs. The lemon juice should prevent the avocado from oxidizing but try not to make them too far in advance. Hopefully they will be devoured and none will remain after they have been served.
What are your go-to potluck dishes?

Guaca-Chi (Guacamole with Kimchi)
Remember our warm avocado greeting? To be honest, comparatively, Texas does not grow very many avocados. In the US, avocadoes are mainly grown in California and Florida or imported from Mexico and Chile. True, we are much closer to all those places than when we lived in Canada.
One of Rob's self-imposed goals this year was to perfect guacamole while we live in the land close to avocados. However, after making this, our plans have been put on hold. This is just too good. Better than guacamole and even simpler. A seemingly crazy concoction of avocado and kimchi with a bit of tang from citrus juice (we've used both lime and orange juice with good success). The spicy, tangy kimchi works well with the creamy avocado and sweet orange juice or tart lime juice.
Just like guacamole, it is a great dip and a flavourful topper paired with flavourful dishes like pupusas.
I wish I could take credit for this wonderful dip, but I stole it from Joe Yonan's new cookbook Eat Your Vegetables. While it isn't vegan, it is a vegetarian cookbook aimed to help the single cook. The recipes are geared for 1-2 people, with tips on how to use up odds and ends from cooking. Personally, I am a big fan of leftovers, but I can appreciate the value of fresh, flavourful cooking throughout the week. His recipes span super simple, such as this one, to more elaborate fare that I could not imagine cooking just for one. All look bold on flavours. I also enjoyed his laissez-faire recipes, teaching you to listen to your food on the stove, instead of the prescribed directions. He'll direct you to saute your onions until brown instead of "for 10 minutes".
Need other ideas for kimchi? Joe includes a recipe for homemade kimchi but also has you covered in case you get bored of guaca-chi: Sweet Potato, Kimchi and Greens Hash; Kimchi Deviled Eggs; Cold Spicy Ramen Noodles with Tofu and Kimchi and even Grilled Kimcheese. Of course, you could also try my Enoki, Broccoli and Tofu Bowl with Kimchi.
PS. A few people commented on my last kimchi post, but I wanted to highlight that yes, indeed, kimchi is usually not vegan nor vegetarian. There is usually shrimp or fish sauce in it. Making it at home is great (I should really do that again) but there are vegan versions out there.
This is my submission to Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted by Simona and this week's Raw Food Thursday.
Strawberry & Avocado Salad with a Citrus Vinaigrette
I was hoping Rawfully Organic was going to provide me with local produce. I know they try when it is possible. Rob and I had been pining a few local treats before we even arrived. The first one: avocado. Avocados are quite expensive in Canada, but upon our first week here we were greeted with a warm welcome. Avocados: 4 for $1.
The nice thing about my Rawfully Organic share was that I wasn't saddled with uncommon ingredients. With so many greens, I knew salads were in order, though. Luck would have it that I was tempted by Gena's berry and avocado salad at the same time. Coincidentally, I had all the ingredients and then some. I tried it her way, with hemp seeds, then with almonds and when I finally got around to photographing it, I used pumpkin seeds. I used sweet strawberries, paired with creamy avocado and a sweet citrus dressing. Since the oranges we got in our share were "juicing oranges" (Valencia, aka sweet Texan oranges!!), I figured a dressing was a good way to capitalize on their sweet juiciness. Since, yes, I left my juicer at home. No homemade juice on the horizon yet. It may seem fiddly to also add lemon juice, but it balanced the dressing nicely.
Any nut or seed would work for crunch – as I said, I have made this with almonds, hemp and the pumpkin seeds (a mix of almond and hemp was my favourite). Any berry would work well here. Pick your favourite.
With all these salads that I have been making, I am kind of sad I left my big plates and big bowls in Canada. I want more greens but don't have a serving plate big enough!

Tofu-Avocado Salad with Arepas
Thank you so much for the kind words from my last post. New friendships take a while to develop, at least for me. I am definitely keeping my chin up… and moving forward. Or perhaps trying just to enjoy what is. It really was a stressful whirlwind last year and it might be nice to embrace the emptiness. Thank you, Anna, for pointing me to this lovely video.
One thing is for certain: I couldn't do this without Rob. I could not imagine doing this year apart.
Since Rob works from home, and I labour in the hospital, it is funny how the roles have reversed slightly. I swear, Rob has been more adventurist in the kitchen than me. Rob is cooking up a storm, while I am relishing in my quickie salads, hehe.
And the best part? If we time it just right, I can come home to freshly cooked food. Some foods are just not meant to be eaten as leftovers, which is why they are such a treat.
Case in point: arepas. The moist and fluffy arepas with a crispy shell only happen when you make them fresh. We long learned not to make leftovers since they are very lacklustre. They are one of Rob's specialties, although previously reserved for the weekend when we have more time for food prep.
They seem to fit with most any dish, at least in our fusion household. We like to make it with tofu scramble, but this time Rob went all out with the bean-quinoa chorizo crumbles from The Great Vegan Bean Book. I found them a bit spicy, so I threw together a spin on vegan egg salad: tofu-avocado salad. The avocado, tahini and Dijon make for a creamy dressing while chunky avocado and tofu are surprisingly reminiscent of eggs. The dill adds a nice spin, too. I used dried but I think fresh would be best.
This is my submission to this month's Bookmarked Recipes and to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays. (more…)
Kelp Noodles and Kale with an Avocado-Miso Sauce
There are stereotypical differences of Canadians. You know, publicly-funded health care, colourful paper bills, and yeah, I throw extra u's into my words. I knew about that.
And then, there are things that I had grown to enjoy that I miss. Like the lack of pennies. Honestly, that was a great idea for Canada. Or, our penchant for environmental choices.
Get this: I have garbage removal TWICE a week. However, there is NO recycling pick-up and definitely NO green bins/compost pick-up. (People drop off their recyclables at recycling depots at their leisure, if they do at all).
And then I have this peculiar contraption in my sink. A garburator. I only know it by name, since I have never used one and they are banned in Toronto.
My new co-workers have become accustomed to my Canadian accent but never cease to discover new Canadian-isms… and apparently, the word garburator is a Canadian term. To Americans, they are known simply as garbage disposal units.
Google helped me figure out how to use it. However, it didn't stop me from plugging my drain within a week of moving in. My co-workers confessed they rarely use them since they plug up drains too often. I think I will leave it alone, too. It seems quite wasteful and noisy to get rid of tiny scraps of foods.
I have no problem pulverizing my food into a delicious sauce, though. (I think my Vitamix is more noisy than the garburator, but it is all for a good cause). For this sauce, I combined avocado, cucumber and hemp seeds for a bright luscious sauce flavoured with lime and miso. Twirled it overtop kelp noodles and thinly sliced kale for a quick summer meal.
Do you have a garbage disposal unit? Do you use it?
*PS: Rob reminded me that while Ontario collects a lot of recyclables, they also ship it across the world to China. Not so environmentally friendly…
This is my submission to this month's Pasta Please for cheeseless wonders.
Avocado and Sauerkraut Salad with a Creamy Miso-Ginger Dressing
And we're off!
Rob and I packed up all our things and are currently en route, road trip-style, to Houston. I have a few travel-themed recipes this week, as we drive across the country (down the country would be more accurate). 3000 km (over 1800mi). We have a lot of ground to cover.
I made a few travel snacks to bring with me (will be sharing throughout the next few weeks), and while I have tracked down a vegan restaurant in each city for dinner, I plan on eating simple meals throughout the day.
I brainstormed before I left. What can I easily find at grocery stores? What would pack well? For some reason, I kept returning to salads with avocado and lemon. Easy, peasy. Throw in some nuts/seeds, cooked beans or tofu as an easy protein. And then I decided sauerkraut would be a wonderful addition, too.
Not wanting to simplify my meals too soon, I knew I didn't want to wait to try out an avocado and sauerkraut salad. With my current kitchen a few weeks ago, I had the liberty of making a more complex salad dressing, so I ran with it. A creamy miso dressing with a zip from ginger and the tang from apple cider vinegar. That creaminess? Not nuts: nutritional yeast. I imagine avocado would be nice pureed into the dressing as well, but I left it in chunks for the salad. Paired with the salty sauerkraut and crunchy sunflower seeds, this was delicious.
What are your favourite easy travel-friendly meals?
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and to this week's Raw Food Thursdays.
Cabbage and Asian Pear Salad with Smoky Avocado and Cumin Dressing
Guys, I am loving your list of your favourite raw recipes. It isn't too late to win a copy of Annelie's Raw Food Power. To enter, just leave a comment here telling me about your favourite raw meal. Definitely include a link to a recipe if it is online, like Gabby's Raw "Baked" Fettuccine Alfredo, Genevieve's Mango Gazpacho or Hannah's Raw Blondies with Chocolate Ganache. I really liked Ellen's suggest of a Korean collard wrap with Asian pear and sweet chili sauce. Sounds delicious! I ended up hunting down some Asian pear, napa cabbage and collards but at the last minute, as the winds warmed me with the southern breeze (this was right before it snowed yesterday), I changed my mind. Instead of a wrap, I went with a chopped salad. And instead of Korean and I went Mexican with a smoky avocado and cumin dressing.
When asked what I usually eat, I explain to people that I love to make soups and salads. Not your flaky salads and not your brothy soups, I prefer hearty one-pot meals in a bowl. My salads tend to be either grain-based or bean-based, whereas I don't make the standard leafy side salad with a simple vinaigrette. I suppose I don't find it very high-yield. If I want leafy greens, I'll add them to my soup or salad!
Not all dressings are created equal, and this smoky avocado dressing is creamy but intense at the same time. It wouldn't work with flimsy baby greens, which is why I opted for heartier sliced Napa cabbage and collard greens. To counter the heaviness of the dressing, I added a touch of sweetness to the salad with Asian pear and red bell pepper. To add even more goodness, I added some arugula sprouts and to add a good protein source I added chickpeas [sprouted chickpeas keeps this raw, but cooked chickpeas are what I prefer]. With the dressing thinned out over the salad, it was a nice merriment of flavours and textures, although a tad heavy on cumin (even for me).
OK, next up: working on that Korean wrap. :)

Ten days into the New Year, The House List looks back at 2013 with some Top Five lists.
My Top Five Favorite Shows
1. The Postal Service, Barclay Center, June 14
My decade-belated live date with the Postal Service finally culminated at Barclays Center, where rabid fans, like myself, roared as Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello hit the stage. As if acting out lyrics from "Nothing Better," Gibbard and Jenny Lewis shimmied close for the duet. Old friends reunited onstage never felt so good.
2. Haim, Webster Hall, September 3
I was late to this bandwagon, as fellow House List contributor Alex Kapelman shortlisted Haim last year for his Top Five Bowery Presents Shows of the Year. I knew I was in for a good one when I could barely find a spot in the rafters to catch the three sisters, who charmed with their onstage banter and wicked musicianship
3. Jessie Ware, The Bowery Ballroom, January 17
Straight off her Jimmy Fallon taping backed by the Roots, the British songstress elated the crowd with her effortless, down-to-earth stage demeanor. Her star quickly rose with American audiences, as she sold out shows at Webster Hall, Music Hall of Williamsburg and Irving Plaza throughout the year. I was glad to have caught her earlier in the more intimate venue.
4. Basia Bulat, Bowery Ballroom, November 23
I've been a fan of Basia Bulat since I heard her cover Sam Cooke's "Touch the Hem of His Garment." This show on a cold night wasn't sold out, which made me a little sad since she's quite the talent. But those who were there were enraptured by her prowess on autoharp to the point that you could hear a pin drop during her solos.
5. Daughter, Bowery Ballroom, April 30
Somehow Elena Tonra manages to disguise heartbreak behind soulful lyrics and melody. She has a knack for turning happy dance songs into somber endeavors. The band mashed-up Bon Iver and Hot Chip's "Perth/Ready for the Floor" that evening. Check out Tonra's somber retake of Daft Punk's hit "Get Lucky" for further proof. —Sharlene Chiu
My Top Five Shows I Never Thought I Would See
1. Desaparecidos, Webster Hall, February 26
Desaparecidos (and really any Conor Oberst project) were my bread and butter back in the early aughts, and for a while they seemed to be a one-off, a politically minded side project firmly planted in the past. Fortunately (and unfortunately) the global state of affairs remains messed up enough for the band to regroup to write protest songs for a new decade. It was a nostalgic, sweaty and inspired performance.
2. Shuggie Otis, Music Hall of Williamsburg, April 19
Shuggie Otis began putting out music in the mid-'70s, followed by a long period of laying low. Content to groove along to songs like "Ice Cold Daydream" at home, I never really thought about the possibility of a Shuggie Otis tour in 2013. But when I found out, I was there. And "Ice Cold Daydream" is even better in person.
3. The Flamin' Groovies, The Bowery Ballroom, July 6
Instead of discovering the Flamin' Groovies in a smoky San Fran club in the '60s, I was introduced to their catchy psychedelia on a Nuggets compilation more than 30 years later. Who'd have thought they'd still be going strong in 2013 and that I'd be dancing right alongside some old school fans at this fun summer show.
4. John Prine, Beacon Theatre, September 26
John Prine has been active since the early '70s, but unlike Shuggie Otis, he never really went away, writing and recording songs at a steady pace throughout the years. But I still always thought of him as an artist too legendary for me to see in person—or that tickets would be too out of reach. But John Prine put on an amazing show, highlighting his singular skills as a songwriter and storyteller.
5. The Julie Ruin, Music Hall of Williamsburg, October 25
I was late to the party for the original riot-grrl movement, but I became an admirer of Bikini Kill frontwoman Kathleen Hanna during her time in Le Tigre. She's dealt with some debilitating health issues in the past few years, but I had no doubt she'd continue to make art and music. So I was happy to learn of her latest project, the Julie Ruin, and her energetic show did not disappoint. —Alena Kastin
My Top Five Shows
1. Yo La Tengo, Town Hall, February 16
I don't like to pick a favorite, but my last.fm account tells me I've listened to Yo La Tengo more than any other band since 2007. At Town Hall, they performed an acoustic set and an electronic one, doing two versions of "Ohm," my favorite song of the year. And then I ran into Tim Heidecker from Tim & Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job! Had the Red Sox not won the World Series, this would've been my favorite night of the year.
2. Killer Mike/El-P, Webster Hall, August 14
I don't care what anyone says: The best two rap albums of 2012 came from Killer Mike and El-P. And in 2013 they topped them, coming together as one entity, Run the Jewels. The night included a set from El-P, a set from Killer Mike and a combined set with both. El-P's ingenious production plus Killer "I bleed charisma" Mike equals one concert I will never forget.
3. Foxygen, The Bowery Ballroom, October 21
With Foxygen it occasionally feels like shit could fall apart at any moment. And sometimes it does. But when their shows don't come unhinged they deliver that sweet thrill of relief, like narrowly avoiding a car crash. And on this Halloween-themed night, the band made a weird show even weirder with homemade costumes and pseudo spooky vibes.
4. Steve Earle, Music Hall of Williamsburg, May 8
You can just tell some people are genuine, and Steve Earle is certainly one of them. Forever wearing his heart on his sleeve, that same energy bleeds right into his music, which he played alongside what he's calling "the best band he's ever had."
5. Meat Puppets, Mercury Lounge, April 4
Not only are the Meat Puppets still kicking (after living through some serious shit), but also they're thriving. And as much as I respect their legacy, seeing them play for more than two hours with the intensity you'd expect of a band 20 years their junior makes me respect them that much more. Long live the puppets of meat! —Dan Rickershauser
My Top Five Shows
1. Dessa, Union Hall, May 5
There are few performers I feel can move mountains with their vocal chords, and Dessa is one of them. This performance was an eruption of defiant lyrics and bold beats. A sizable crowd of young girls knew all of her lyrics, giving the show a chant-like feel. The only female member of Minnesota's Doomtree collective practically vibrates with energy, and it's completely contagious.
2. Kishi Bashi, Irving Plaza, September 12
Kishi Bashi sounds even better live than he does recorded. And he delivered a dazzling set with profuse vocal looping and an excellent backing band. Kauro Ishibashi has a supercharged, effusive aura, and his music embodies that persona. This set took a rowdy turn that involved crowd surfing, strobe lights and an outright jam session.
3. Panama Wedding, CMJ Music Marathon
I happened upon newcomers Panama Wedding three different times during CMJ: Initially, opening for NONONO at Mercury Lounge on the first night. Since the band had only released one song, "All of the People," I was eager to see what would unfold onstage. Their set was so tight that I caught the fantastical pop group the following night at Pianos and then again at a showcase at Santos Party House.
4. You Won't, Rockwood Music Hall, October 30
The live iteration of You Won't is a spectacle to behold. I watched eagerly as Josh Arnoudse and Raky Sastri wielded a slew of instruments with ease, quickly fascinating the audience. The duo took their jaunty music into the audience a couple of times to break the barrier and enlisted some extra vocal support by encouraging us to all to sing along.
5. James Blake, Terminal 5, November 6
In this spellbinding live performance, complete with plenty of vocal looping and haunting electronica, James Blake made a cavernous room filled with people feel intimate. And that he's such a dapper-looking fellow only helps boost his appeal. I'm still transfixed by this performance nearly two months later. James Blake's music has some serious lasting effects. —Schuyler Rooth
My Top Five Shows with Regard to Lights, Visuals and Production
1. Umphrey's McGee, Brooklyn Bowl, January 20
Kick-ass creative lighting and Brooklyn Bowl don't usually go hand in hand, but Umphrey's McGee lighting guru Jefferson Waful turned the room into a thing of beauty.
2. Föllakzoid/Holydrug Couple, Mercury Lounge, March 21
What better way to enjoy some old school psychedelic music than with some old school liquid projections courtesy of Drippy Eye.
3. Plaza: Portugal. The Man, Irving Plaza, May 20
Freakin' lasers!
4. The Flaming Lips/Tame Impala, Terminal 5, October 1
It was almost as fascinating to watch the Lips' spectacle getting set up as it was to see it in action—confetti, strobes, LEDs and, well, pretty much everything. And Tame Impala's projections were no slouch either.
5. Phish, Atlantic City Boardwalk, October 31, November 2
Phish's fall tour found lighting director Chris Kuroda playing the Willy Wonka of eye candy all over the East Coast. —A. Stein
My Top Five Albums
1. Phosphorescent, Muchacho
I'd only seen Phosphorescent once before listening to Muchacho for the first time. And while much of Matthew Houck's previous work is country-tinged (not that there's anything wrong with that), this album, ostensibly about a breakup, covers more territory, from the meditative sounds of "Sun, Arise (An Invocation, an Introduction)" and "Sun's Arising (A Koan, an Exit)" to the jammy, driving "Ride On/Right On" to softer fare, like "Muchacho's Tune," all centered on Houck's evocative voice. I still can't stop listening to it.
2. Foxygen, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic
Foxygen's third full-length, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, comes off as a loving mash note to '70s rock. You'll hear bits of the Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground and David Bowie, but the album expertly manages to sound like something whole and new rather than something derivative.
3. White Denim, Corsicana Lemonade
Upon the first couple of listens, I found White Denim's latest, Corsicana Lemonade, to be too singer-songwriter-y, but I continued to give it a chance, and it opened up to something much bigger, with genre-hopping songs like "Let It Feel Good (My Eagles)" and "Pretty Green"—not to mention some searing guitar parts—grabbing me by the throat.
4. Futurebirds, Baba Yaga
Admittedly, I didn't know anything about Futurebirds, out of Athens, Ga., before writing a preview of their late-May show at The Bowery Ballroom. But while listening to their second LP, Baba Yaga, as I wrote, I became totally enamored of the album—half twangy Southern rock and half spacey reverb.
5. Kurt Vile, Wakin on a Pretty Daze
I love Kurt Vile's Wakin on a Pretty Daze so much, that I can't believe it's only No. 5. Labeling it stoner rock, as many have done, is lazy. Although I supposed me calling it laid-back rock isn't any better. But the fact of the matter is there might not ever be a better album to listen to while walking the streets of New York City with headphones in your ears. —R. Zizmor

Posted in House List, Reviews No Comments »
The iconic long blonde locks of Californian lasses have been idolized in music from the Beach Boys to Girls (Christopher Owens). However, a trio of brunette sisters, Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, might be changing the West Coast lexicon. Playing collectively as Haim, these siblings evoke R&B into folk-pop heavy compositions. While fans await the release of their full-length album, Days Are Gone, later this month, the sisters headlined a sold-out Webster Hall last night. Having been to quite a few sold-out shows at the venue, I've never seen the rafters so overfilled with onlookers or a bottleneck at the entrance for the floor. The sisters definitely took notice, exclaiming "This is the craziest thing."
Haim treated the crowd early on with fan faves "Better Off" and "The Wire." The latter was reminiscent of M. Ward's "Never Had Nobody Like You" with a noticeably similar rollick. There was no doubt that when Danielle's guitar shredded the familiar chords of Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well" that this wasn't any ordinary rendition. Her skills confirmed why the likes of Jenny Lewis and Julian Casablancas asked the middle Haim sister to tour with them. Early '90s R&B influences were best heard on "Falling," where the audience joined in to sing "Don't stop, no one's ever enough/ I'll never look back, never give up/ And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough/ But now I'm falling."
The youngest Haim, Alana, couldn't withhold her glee from announcing the gig was better than her 21st birthday to jumping around onstage to incite the front row. As the set neared its end, Danielle commanded for "the ceiling to fall down," as she barreled into "Forever" and Este's heavily laid basslines caused an eruption of claps. The trio returned for a one-song encore and delivered a venomous "Let Me Go." The evening concluded with the sisters in a drum triangle, beating down on the skins as if they were taiko performers. There's no question that Haim stamped their names on New York City. —Sharlene Chiu

"This is the best birthday I will ever have in my life," Alana Haim told Saturday's sold-out Music Hall of Williamsburg crowd. It was her 21st, and she still hadn't had her first legal drink. Along with playing guitar and keys, she's the baby of Haim. "I don't think I could breathe without everyone on this stage," she later revealed. "Everyone on this stage" included oldest sister Este (bass and vocals) and middle sister Danielle (lead guitar and vocals). And with drummer Dash Hutton, they played the best show I've seen all year.
Haim's destiny seems almost preordained. Their parents (known as "Mama and Papa Haim" by the sisters) were both musicians—Mama played acoustic guitar and sang while Papa was a drummer. For 10 years, the Haim sisters played in a cover band, Rockinhaim, with their parents. This experience proved integral to their development as accomplished musicians in their own right. (Este studied Brazilian music and percussion at UCLA, and Danielle has toured with Jenny Lewis and Julian Casablancas.) And it brought them all so close together that, to this day, Haim still bring Mama and Papa on tour with them.
This grounding influence readily appears onstage in a couple of ways. First, they're incredibly comfortable under the lights. Este, Danielle and Alana are witty, charming and hilarious, and they banter like friends entertaining guests. Second, their live show absolutely rocks. Their two outstanding EPs display a penchant for electro pop, and live, they seamlessly blend classic rock, '80s pop, country and rockabilly. They've opened for such diverse acts as Mumford & Sons, Florence and the Machine and No Age. Danielle especially impresses on vocals and guitar. She channels her inner Melissa Etheridge and shreds on her Gibson SG, the iconic axe used by legendary lead guitar players like Angus Young and Derek Trucks. Although stylistically, she sounds more like David Gilmour, picking and choosing each note with deliberate care.
But in the end, it was Alana's night. And before they played what happened to be their first ever encore, Mama handed Alana a cupcake lit by a leftover menorah candle, and the family led the crowd in a verse of "Happy Birthday." "It's officially Alanukah!" announced Mama. Alana closed her eyes for a few seconds to conjure a wish. And after she blew out the candles, the band became Rockinhaim, playing a stunning rendition of "Mustang Sally," with Mama impressing on lead vocals and Papa banging a heavily funky beat. Though we'll never know what it was, Alana's wish will almost certainly comes true: For this band, the sky is the limit. —Alex Kapelman

Torque 3D Port To Linux Materializes
Published on 15 March 2013 11:00 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
8 Comments
Last year I wrote about
the Torque 3D game engine wanting to come to Linux
and they were attempting a crowd-sourced campaign to finance the port. The campaign was a flop, but a developer has been bringing the support anyways to Linux.
The Torque 3D game engine was
already open-sourced
and has been used to power Tribes 2, Frozen Synapse, and other titles.
Dusan Jocic, a Phoronix reader and developer, has been porting the game engine to Linux. He was the developer of the OpenWolf engine while lately he's been playing around with the Torque 3D engine. "I want with this engine to provide remake of Wolfenstein Enemy Territory and Tremulous and of course they will be released as FOSS and F2P."
He's been sharing progress on his independent Torque 3D port to Linux via
this Phoronix Forums thread
As proof, in that thread he's shared several screenshots.
He's also shared this video via the Phoronix thread.
Dusan Jocic will be publishing his code soon for Torque 3D on Linux.

Jay Prosch, wearing his Senior Bowl jersey Monday night, saw it all as another remarkable step in a remarkable journey.Prosch, who played football at nearby UMS Wright High School, has been watching the Senior Bowl since he was a little boy. Playing in it was a goal that most would have considered out of his reach. It wasn't. He will play for the South on Saturday at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. He went through his first practice on Monday.
