Last of the Season: Melons & Margaritas
Summer is slowly coming to an end, which in Texas, means cooler weather is rapidly approaching. In fact, we actually got some this weekend, but I'm not holding my breath as this weeks forecast is back up in the nineties. While we are all itching to bust out our sweaters and scarves, This particular seasonal crossover allows for glorious finds at the farmers market. The last cucumbers, melons, and peppers are still making an appearance, but the fall favorites are starting to show themselves too. Although, I am eagerto be able to walk outside without my make up sliding off my face, I am not quite ready to let summer slip through my fingers. Reflecting on these last few months, I definitely got in my vacation time, hiking, swimming at the springs, but the one thing I did not get my fill of are summer fruit and margaritas. Now, in most cases, they don't have to be combined. In this instance, I went for the most bang for my buck. Inspired by Rio Rita's Honeydew Thyme infused tequila, I grabbed a cantaloupe and jalapeños from the farmers market. I've dipped my fingers into infusing many a time (yes, the rumors of bacon infused vodka are true), but for the sake of quenching my thirst, the juicer came out!
I'm looking forward to drinking this Jalapeño Cantaloupe Margarita next year, all summer long.
Jalapeño Cantaloupe Margarita
- 1/2 cantaloupe, cubed
- 1 jalapeño (seeds removed)
- 1 lime- tequila of choice-triple sec (or Cointreau)
- ice
- agave (optional)
Put cantaloupe, jalapeño, and half of the lime through the juicer. In a glass, pour 2 parts tequila and 1 part triple sec over ice, top off with melon pepper mix. Garnish with lime wedge.
Note: I find margaritas are very personal, just like coffee in the morning. Some like them stronger, sweeter, or more sour. I dissolved a little agave and shook it in with the mix and tequila. However, you like your margarita, this one is delicious! Enjoy!
Ready, Reset, Go!
Vacation, it's like milk, it does the body good. It also did my tired little brain some serious good. It has been a while since my last post and while I realize I have a little guilt about that, a break definitely helped me realign myself. Since my last post, I left a negative work environment to join the warm and welcoming family at Opa Coffee and Wine Bar. Thanks to having days off, I now have much more time on my hands to be cool and crafty!
Thanks to this great new job, I could also take time to have a vacation! I made my yearly trek to the West Coast to see my friends, Emily and Zane. My trip was filled with beach outings, museums, dancing, Vegas adventures, lots of great food, and more beach outings. Being an East Coast girl, sometimes all that is missing from central Texas is the ocean.
My brief sabbatical also allowed for some alone time which I utilized for self reflection and planning for my future. The one thing that kept creeping into my mind every chance that it could was a memory of a lunch date I had with one of my favorite farmers. He spent our lunch recounting stories from 40 years ago about a wealthy man he used to work for, being flown around the world, real estate scams, unknown love, etc. His stories were something you would read in a book or the beginnings to a movie. I was fascinated and envious at the same time. During my time away I kept thinking to myself, "I want to be able to have my own stories like this."
To jump start my story making, I bunkered down and worked on a very detailed two year plan. I'm very eager to begin checking items of my list and looking forward to sharing with you, until then… Stay tuned.
Mission: Commission
I had a professor in college named Barbara Dowling. She was tall, slender, with wild red hair, and the personality to match. She once told me that when it comes to making stained glass windows (that was my focus by the way) it's important to make sure that before you even begin to make a window, you've got a place to put it. I think the same holds true for other types of art, and in this case craft, as well.
I love to embroider, as I've said many times before. But like windows, I should follow the same advice that Ms. Dowling gave me, but I don't. I have stacks of embroidered tea towels, dinner napkin sets, and more. That's why you can imagine that I was so thrilled to have been contacted by a couple of folks to do some commissioned embroidery work.
Above, a birthday present for one of the founders of the Commerce Street Supper Club. (If you are in the Austin area and love food of any kind, you need to check them out.) I also did two pieces for someone else, although one is only shown currently, an embroidered apron. It was so nice to be able to create something and give it a home.
I still have the itch to stitch, so if you are interested in taking some already embroidered towels off my hands or you want your own custom goodies, please contact me via email, Facebook, blog, etc.

Late Night Tacos
I love to eat, I think that is no secret at this point, but I must say I really don't like eating late at night. I'm certainly no nutritionist, but I'm pretty sure I am on to something. Sometimes though I will get so hungry at 11 o'clock at night and I know I won't be able to sleep with my stomach rumbling. The other night, I gave in and made tacos! Not your ordinary tacos. I Instagram-ed a picture and posted it over social media and I have received some interest for the recipe. So… here it is:
Late Night Tacos
2-3 cloves of garlic (chopped or diced)
Olive Oil (or whatever your preference for sautéing)
2-3 diced breakfast radishes
2-3 diced parsnips
2 purple cabbage leaves
Sweet Thai Chili Sauce (I use Mae Ploy)
Agave nectar
Taco Topping of your choice: avocado, cilantro, tomatoes, etc.
In a saute pan, caramelize the garlic with a little agave nectar on low heat. Remove garlic from pan, add oil, sautee parsnips and radishes until softened, add desired amount of mae ploy. Add garlic back to pan.
Spoon parsnip, radish, garlic mixture into cabbage leaf taco shell. Add garnishes and enjoy!
Turning Up the Volume
Ok, I missed posting last week… My apologies, I must say the guilt factor is high. All it takes is missing one or two posts, the next thing you know it'll be a year. That being said, I've had a lot going on! I am super excited to announce that I have taken on a little bit of a new role in the music world. Inspired by my friend Lisa Kettyle and her past experience with music venues, I have started doing some booking and sound at the Firehouse Lounge on Monday nights for the Avi & Friends Songwriter Showcase.
As someone who works seven days a week, I never, let me say this differently, never, get to get out and go see live music. Booking Monday nights has been a great way, and yes, somewhat selfish of me, to see music I wouldn't normally get to see. It has been getting me super motivated and inspired to write some new songs myself. This coming week I am beyond elated to be playing with Ann Sauder, Grace Park of The Deer, and Amy Sue Berlin, who just released a brand new album.
Booking and doing sound doesn't seem like much I realize, but it is so nice to get paid for something I love doing. It seems like a step in the right direction. I feel more connected to the music community in Austin than ever before.
Speaking of the music community, earlier in this post I mentioned my friend, Lisa, well, I can't think of a better time to mention someone that is working her tail off to create a stronger music community. Lisa is in the midst of raising funds to open her own music venue. She needs our support! Check out her indieegogo campaign here: The Chestnut Theater

Sachin slams the long awaited Ton
At last the century that evaded the master blaster has become a reality for the fans across the globe as Sachin Tendulkar slams his much awaited big century in the Asia Cup 2012. Team India take on Bangladesh in style. The century was inevitable today for Sachin but would have been an accomplished task had he done the treat in England or Australia. Anyway nothing must go unaccredited for the milestone reached by the batting machine. The Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka, Bangladesh was full of applause to the beloved cricketer and Bangladesh will be remembered ever by the Cricket book of records with the master's penultimate record. Luck evaded the master blaster the last one year and 33 innings to reach this mile stone. And now Sachin will go dashing into bat and prove his detractors wrong for all the criticism made on his performance. With the long impending monkey off his back, the master moves on to a new innings.
This century adds to the list of the master blaster records which now soar to a record level of hundred centuries in both the formats of the game. Sachin has right now 51 centuries in Test matches, after being a part of the Team India in 188 matches, having played 311 innings and scored 15,470 runs. In the ODI's Sachin has played 462 matches and played 451 innings scoring somewhere nearly 20,000 runs taking into account his latest game also. He has till date scored 49 ODI centuries and that leaves him the ultimate player in the history of cricket to have scored 100 hundreds in any formats of the game. Wishesh wishes the master blaster a powerful and a long career while congratulating him of the present milestone. (AarKay)

Windham hires Feneberg as new school superintendent
During a unanimous vote at Tuesday night's school board meeting, the board presented a three-year contract to Winfried Feneberg.
Feneberg, 52, is no stranger to enriching the lives of young people. He's served as assistant superintendent in both the Timberlane and Hampstead school districts since 2007, and is also a former school psychologist and special education director.
Interim Superintendent Dr. Henry LaBranche, who currently oversees School Administrative Unit 28 encompassing Pelham and Windham, plans to retire this summer. In July, Windham will officially split from Pelham to form its own district, School Administrative Unit 95.
Feneberg's starting salary is $131,500, school officials said.
The new superintendent's hire marks the end of an extensive, yearlong search on the part of the district's superintendent search committee. Sixteen applicants had initially expressed interest in the position. Over the course of many months, the applicant pool was gradually narrowed to two finalists: Dr. Richard Bergeron, superintendent of the ConVal school district, and Feneberg.
Early last month the two finalists had the chance to meet and address questions from parents during a public candidate's forum.
Feneberg said his decision to leave Timberlane and Hampstead wasn't an easy one, but he saw the Windham position as "an amazing opportunity."
He vowed to work closely with district staff and parents to meet common goals, the district's most recent goal being the success of a $31 million warrant item on the March ballot for the construction of a new middle school.
During the January public forum, Feneberg stressed the importance of teamwork. "You need to be open and willing to learn," he said. "I'm always willing to listen to what everyone else contributes."

In CNN Appearance, Bryan Fischer Rails Against the 'Homosexual Lobby'
American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer went on CNN today to debate R. Clarke Cooper of the Log Cabin Republicans over the Romney campaigns' hiring of Richard Grenell, who is openly gay. Fischer, who believes that gays and lesbians should be "disqualified from public office," repeated his claims that Grenell's hiring is an attack on the "pro-family community" because "the homosexual agenda represents the single greatest threat to religious liberty in America today" and is a "big gain for the homosexual lobby." Later, Fischer and Cooper debated whether sexual orientation is a choice, and Cooper compared Fischer to segregationist George Wallace who will be "left in the dustbin of history":
Romney is campaigning on a firmly anti-gay agenda, but Fischer won't be happy until Romney adopts a "straights only" policy for his presidential campaign and eventually the federal government.

Scott Ridley, 35 years after his masterpiece Alien, follows it up with a new alien space yarn with Prometheus. The last scene of Prometheus indicates that the baldheaded "monstrous-man" seen at the beginning of Prometheus film is really the progenitor of the monster seen in the film Alien. In Prometheus, Ian Holm's "type" is replaced by Michael Fassbender. Sygourney Weaver's "type" is replaced by Noomi Rapace. The film is quite good, but nothing will ever be as original and good as Alien. Today's audience will never understand what an original Alien was when it was released. I suspect that this newer film is based on some portion of the Greek mythology of Prometheus.
Is it a prequel? Or a remake? Who cares? It's a thoughtful and philosophical addition to the Alien franchise directed by the originator of the series, Ridley Scott. Creepy and yes, eventually gory. It's sci-fi horror with a masters degree in philosophy. If you understand that, then this movie is for you. Charlize Theron! Michael Fassbender! (flawlessly handsome) Noomi Rapace! Guy Pierce! (unrecognizable) Great cast, sublime special effects. The director makes you think. If you dislike thinking, this isn't for you.
This one has brilliant visual effects, but except for the very interesting first 20 minutes, it was nothing like what I hoped for and turned into just another action flick. The sceenwriting is truly awful by times and the plot goes off in silly directions in the second half. With the large budget, excellent cast and wonderful special effects, this could have been made into a great sci-fi movie with some improvements to the plot and by hiring a better screenwriter.
one of the best prequels I have ever seen does the alien saga proud!
A good movie despite a few unbelievably idiotic scenes that insult the viewer's intelligence.
Highly enjoyable. I look forward to the sequel.
Very disappointing, I'm both a big fan of the first two movies [Alien, and Aliens] and of Noomi Rapace, who has a talented acting range, but little was used in this flic.

Better than expected, considering all the negative reviews. A decent, but not great, sci-fi story. A little hit and miss when it comes to the plot but it was interesting enough to keep us watching. Was a little too long though.
This is a waste of time waiting for the plot. The producers must have thought that overdoing special effects would make up for a bad script and acting. The only reason I wasted 2hrs of my time is that I thought that "some" of the cast could carry this movie. Didn't happen. I should have given the reviews more credibility.
Young person, until you actually have a command of your own native tongue, you shouldn't publish anything that you write; as you come off, as what Bugs Bunny and I would call a "Maroon". I'm trying to help you here youngster; digital is forever. And trust me, you'll look back of this "post" in the years ahead with great embarrassment and remorse.

Bernard Madoff wants you to know that he's genuinely sorry, said the Los Angeles Times in an editorial. Which is great, "except for one little problem"—his apology came only after he was caught for defrauding hundreds of investors of at least $13 billion, and just before Judge Denny Chin was set to sentence him. Chin, "to his credit," wasn't moved, and sentenced Madoff to the maximum 150 years in jail for his "spectacularly evil" crimes.
"Madoff will die in jail. And he deserves it," said Larry Kudlow in National Review Online. But he can't have acted alone, so who are his accomplices? And "where's the money?" Federal trustee Irving Picard has only recovered $1.2 billion, if that, and Madoff isn't "singing in jail." Justice won't be done until investors get more of their money back.
The feds have one last piece of leverage to get Madoff to talk, said Gary Weiss in Seeking Alpha. Instead of sending him to rot in a medium security prison, as expected, send him to a harsh supermax prison, with "terrorists, top-ranking Mafiosi, and convicted spies." If he squeals "like a rat in heat," we'll get his accomplices, and investors will recover more money. If he really did act alone, he's already in "just the right place."
Madoff's victims have some truly "heart-wrenching" stories of loss, said Joe Nocera in The New York Times, but they "bear at least some responsibility for their own gullibility." Some are suing the SEC—thus, taxpayers—to recover their entire investment, but robbery victims don't get federal bailouts. And the SEC didn't make them smugly tuck their life savings in a "special, secret deal."
