Quinoa Salad - Home Cooking Dish of the Month August 2012
- Dave MP Jul 30, 2012 04:07 PM
Announcing the August 2012 Home Cooking Dish of the Month: Quinoa Salad
Link to Nomination Thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/859431
Link to Voting Thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/860346
So, now that it's nearly August in Australia, let's start cooking! The idea of Home Cooking Dish of the Month is to collectively cook as many versions of the dish as possible within the month of August, reporting back with details about recipes, and photos of the dishes we've cooked.
If you're looking for inspiration, a quick search for "quinoa salad" on CHOW is a great start...immediately turns up some recipes and some good Chowhound threads. See: http://www.chow.com/search?query=%22q...
Recipes for quinoa salad might come from the Internet, cookbooks, or could also be original inventions! Looking forward to seeing what people come up with, and trying some recipes of my own as well!
Dave MP
I so did not expect it to be quinoa; trendy seed and everyone is into it these days including my children. I seem to make it at least once a week. My favourite way to cook quinoa is to toast it first in a bit of olive oil until fragrant and then pour hot chicken stock over. I like 1 part quinoa to 1.5 part stock. Season and cook for 10min; turn off the heat, cover the pot with a towel, place the lid on top and let cool until ready to serve.
The latest success was to top quinoa with Simple Salsa from Fish Without a Doubt (page 394).
re: The Dairy Queen
AND quinoa provides complete protein
re: pdxgastro
i love the stuff, and it's great for us to work with a "new" ingredient, and make it a staple in our own homes, but not so great for everyone, unfortunately ... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/20/wor...
Love it! There are a couple of quinoa salads in Raising the Salad Bar the August COTM that I've had my eye on.
This is an excellent quinoa salad. I boil it per the package instructions rather than steaming it like the recipe calls for. Otherwise, I follow it exactly and it is delicious! A real crowd pleaser. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
re: Njchicaa
Yes! We enjoy that salad too, although I have always omitted the black beans. The pickled jalapenos really add a nice kick.
re: Njchicaa
Oh yea, this looks tasty!
Just wondering, do y'all rinse your quinoa before cooking it? I'm mostly talking about the quinoa bought in bulk from a bin/dispenser. The first time i made it, I didn't rinse, it was bitter. Then I read that one really should rinse it first, the bitterness is left from processing. Not sure if that has changed much or not. It's been awhile since I've used it. I have some in the pantry, but it's in a package, already with spices, like a rice-a-roni mix.
re: wyogal
I always rinse my quinoa 3 times. I think there is some quinoa that comes pre-rinsed from the producer, but I don't take any chances.
re: wyogal
I always rinse it well. The outer layer of the grain contains saponins which is what you make soap from... hence the bitter flavor.
re: Njchicaa
That's what I thought. Thanks!
re: Njchicaa
I've always wondered about this. I rinse mine but I like the recipes that call for toasting it. How do you dry it out before you put it in oil or do you dry fry it?
re: Samuelinthekitchen
When I use quinoa that needs to be rinsed, I put it in the pan first, heat gently just until dry, then add the oil.
re: wyogal
I have not bought in bulk and would rinse if I do. The packaged quinoa that I usually buy does not need rinsing - I have not rinsed once and never had a bitter dish.
re: wyogal
I rinse quinoa to remove the saponins. But the closely related Kañiwa apparently doesn't have the saponins and hence needs no (or less) rinsing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka%C3%B1iwa
re: drongo
I always buy bulk (red and white) organic, and never rinse. Cook in my rice cooker, never experienced bitterness.
re: wyogal
I've never rinsed, never notice any bad/bitter flavor at all.
re: jpr54_1
Some do. I'm curious if it matters, other than aesthetics. Has anyone noticed a difference in flavor or texture between the three colors? Edit: in this link, they mention that the red quinoa doesn't absorb water as quickly. http://www.cookingquinoa.net/category...
Question for DaveMP: is this the thread we use to report back on the recipes we try. Or will you post another thread tomorrow?
re: The Dairy Queen
In her recent NY Times article on quinoa salads, Martha Rose Shulman mentions that the black quinoa needs more water and time to soften http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/11/hea...
re: drongo
Interesting! So, what she calls "pearl" quinoa, is that just the ordinary beige quinoa we see most of the time or is that yet another variety?
re: The Dairy Queen
Yes, pearl is beige. Here's a pic: http://www.pinkdandychatter.com/wp-co...
re: The Dairy Queen
I usually mix red and white together while cooking in rice cooker, never had issue with one cooking slower than the other, don't notice any difference in taste/texture.
Made this to take to a potluck last night. It disappeared quickly.
2 cups black quinoa, cooked and cooled
1 small head red cabbage, shredded
1 cup peas
1 cup shredded carrots
1 bunch green onion, thinly sliced
2 mangoes, diced
2 clementines, peeled and segments divided
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon (or more) salt
1 tablespoon Sriracha
Put the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Add enough dressing to the salad to thoroughly moisten. Chill at least two hours. Check for seasoning before serving. Makes a ton, but the leftovers are great for lunch.
re: pikawicca
Sounds delicious! Do you think the black quinoa adds anything other than color vs. the regular beige quinoa?
re: The Dairy Queen
It keeps a little bit more crunch, which I like. IIRC, both black and red quinoa are higher in protein than the white.
re: pikawicca
Made this the other day. Subbed fresh local peaches for the mango and used the white quinoa I had on hand. Mixed some chicken in for my meat eating husband. DELICIOUS. Be forwarned though. I made half the recipe and it was still a huge amount. Great leftover.
Recipe I'm referring to is from Picawicca
I've been wanting to try quinoa for a while. I'm looking forward to seeing people's suggestions. :)
I have a reason now to seek out new quinoa recipes, but this is one I've used for a long time:
Satisfying and tasty!
By the way, I really really don't mean to be presumptuous, this is just in case:
re: blue room
blue room, the quinoa by 101c is also one of my fav simple preparations. I tend to add diced roasted peppers or grilled cubed eggplant to the bowl but it's the simple prep that I love about it.
I was pleasantly surprised last week when I had a ready made quinoa salad with beets and kale at Whole Foods Salad bar at how delicious it was. I added some soy sauce as I usually find the stuff there to be bland but after 2 weeks of vacation eating I was ready for some grains. I'd like to find a recipe that mimics what I had - it was red from the beets so I don't know what the original color of the grain was. Is it a candidate for a rice cooker?
re: Berheenia
I forgot about that salad – it is good. This looks like the recipe http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recip...
And this is a great article on cooking with quinoa, also from WF. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?db...
I have made this Spiced Quinoa from allrecipes.com a couple of times now and absolutely love it. It is a really simple, quick recipe with loads of flavor. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/spiced-q...
At the risk of sounding like one of those recipe-destroying, Epicurious.com commenters, I did make a few changes to the original:
- Before starting the recipe I toasted the quinoa in a sauté pan with a bit of olive oil, just until it started to smell fragrant.
- doubled the amounts of onion and garlic
- added a couple shakes of cayenne and onion powder, plus a bit more curry powder.
- used sultanas instead of raisins and skipped the pine nuts.
I ended up having to add more liquid at the 20 minute mark because the quinoa was not fully cooked– IDK why.
The recipe makes 4 large servings (more like 5 or 6 servings) and it freezes well too.
re: EM23
Finally made a version of my own with red beets and their greens and some scallions. Hoped to have it last night for dinner but was voted down so it's what's for lunch. For years I made a couscous salad with a curry OJ dressing and raisins and small veggies so tried to change this up with red spices rather than yellow. It's still mellowing in the fridge. Thanks for pointing me to a recipe and thanks all for the advice about rinsing the grain first!
I made this Quiinoa Tabbouleh last week and it was good.
In truth, you could take any Tabbouleh recipe and substitute quinoa for the bulgur and have something good.
re: drongo
We do this frequently, and often add any bits of veg lying around that need to be used. It's really nice for a side at dinner and then translates to lunches that don't (necessarily) need to be kept cool. It really is easy and the extra protein and calorie density are good for those (like the bf) who have physical jobs, but aren't huge mid-day eaters.
re: drongo
tabouleh is my favourite quinoa salad, otherwise I do a herb salad. Any fresh herb, mint, cilantro, parsley, basil, plus veggies and avocado, dress with a simple lemon/olive oil dressing. Keeps in fridge for a few days. Great for lunches.
re: drongo
I made Tabbouleh from this recipe. Just the thing for a meal on a hot summer day.
re: DonShirer
It looks good, Don. Though 1/2 cup oil per 1 cup quinoa is on the high end.
For some comparators, see:
re: drongo
Thanks for the tip. I'll experiment with less next time.
re: drongo
Add me to the list of folks that love quinoa in my Tabouleh. I recently picked up a Quinoa cookbook for $5 and this recipe was one with immediate appeal:
Tabouleh – Cooking with Quinoa by Rena Patten – p. 57
Loved the use of quinoa in this dish for a riff that we'll now consider our house version of this salad. The chopping the veggies is done in the time it takes to cook the quinoa. Once the quinoa cools, everything is tossed together and served. Perfect as a side dish or, a meal unto itself. Second time around it was the meal and I topped the dish w some Kalamata olives and feta. Delicious.
This one is my all time favourite: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
I make it all the time when mangoes are in season.
I found a promising quinoa salad on Martha Stewart's site today
Quinoa-and-Apple Salad with Curry Dressing. Very nice, with reservations. The white quinoa is mixed with toasted almonds, currants (I used dried cranberries) chopped mint, and apple slices. The dressing is good good stuff -- olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper, shallot and curry powder.
I would have liked this better without the mint -- and surprisingly, the apples. Just me, I guess. All those "warm" flavors, then a cold wet tart apple slice in the mix, I'd just leave it out next time -- or at least chop it smaller.
This is what I'm just about to prep for lunch tomorrow. First time making it. I'm using red leaf lettuce since that's what's in the fridge.
Arugula-Quinoa Salad with Cherries
re: L.Nightshade
Here you go!
I loved the combination of flavors. Changes: I substituted red leaf lettuce for the arugula and added toasted sliced almonds. Didn't have lemons so used lemon-infused olive oil, finely diced preserved lemon, and champagne vinegar in the dressing. For the fig jam - Fig & Ginger Jam from Stonewall Kitchen. Fresh, healthy lunch today.
re: Rubee
Quinoa salad with cherries and toasted almonds, served on a bed of baby spinach
Delightfully fresh tasting and so pretty!
I too used that lovely recipe for the cherry quinoa salad. Thank you, Rubee! I took your idea of adding toasted almonds, along with a few other goodies. I doubled the dressing (but reduced the olive oil by a Tablespoon), and then mixed a little more than half of my dressing into the quinoa/cherry mixture. I kept the remaining dressing aside to dress the greens immediately before serving. The dressing is light, and both faintly sweet and tart -- lovely with the nuttiness of the quinoa.
Quinoa cooking method:
To prepare the quinoa, first I toasted in a tiny bit of olive oil until golden. Then I used the method described in the very first post here, and also endorsed in the New York Times Well blog this summer. She avidly researched the best cooking method for a quinoa salad, and she came up with cooking the quinoa in 1.5 parts boiling water (I used chicken broth). Simmer for 15 minutes until curly. Remove from heat. Cover quinoa with a dish towel and replace the lid, and leave the quinoa like that for 10 more minutes. Then fluff with forks.
I got a package of quinao/brown rice mix, rosemary and garlic flavor. I'm cooking it now. I'm turning it into a salad with chopped fresh tomatoes, onions, and celery. I'll dress it with a light vinaigrette.
very well received and interesting recipe, took a little more fussing than expected to get the quinoa to the correct stage
onions are sauteed with some salt (recipe calls for green onions, I used white) then the quinoa is added and sauteed "until the grains start to crackle and turn dry" It was at this point that I realized that I hadnt washed the grain (the recipe calls for washed and drained quinoa). The water, currants nand more salt are then added, the dish brought to the boil and then turned down to simmer, covered, until the water is absorbed and the quinoa tender 15-20 minutes. In my case, I had to add a bit more boiling water and leave it covered for 10 min longer altogether til it reached the proper degree of doneness and fluffiness.
At this point, 2 c. of grated zucchini, 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1 tsp of grated lemon rind and 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped dill and salt and pepper are stirred in, and the pan covered again, off the heat. Additional dill and toasted sesame are sprinkled on at the end.
A very fresh and pleasant dish. - was dubious about the uncooked unsalted zucchini but it worked well.
there is an alternative given of basil and pine nuts replacing the dill and sesame and I think that would have been very good, note I added some toasted pine nuts to my dish for additional textural contrast.
My only critique of this recipe is that I think the currants (I only had golden raisins that day) were cooked too long - they rather disintegrated, so I would add them a bit later in the process when I make again.
re: jen kalb
pic of the salad
re: jen kalb
This salad sounds nice; I like the toasted sesame addition. I wonder if the longer time might be needed for currants, as they are usually a lot tougher than golden raisins.
re: L.Nightshade
Yeah its worth making but I I would definitely add the currants later. They were fine after 20 minutes steaming in the Ottolenghi bulghur dish I just reported on. The raisins simply turned to sweet mush.
I've made this Ottolenghi avocado, quinoa and broad bean salad from Plenty, and it's delicious
I've reported it in the COTM thread for Plenty
re: lilham
I've made Ottolenghi's Camargue Red Rice and Quinoa with orange Pistachios (p76 in Ottolenghi). It's a great party dish with quinoa, rice, pistachios, dried apricots. onion, orange and lemon juices, garlic, spring onions and arugula. Fabulous.
I'll paraphrase recipe if anybody wants it. Dunno if there have been other posts about and was too lazy to check. Haven't been around for a while and so am not caught up.
re: oakjoan
Is this the salad you made, Oakjoan?
re: jen kalb
Sounds like I need to make it - love Ottolenghi's recipes; I'll watch for sweetness and will most likely leave apricots out - I do not like too many sweet things in my savoury dishes.
re: herby
I used half of the red rice/quinoa combo for the Ottolenghi salad and froze the rest. Used it later in an improvised salad ( don't recall quite how!) and have subsequently cooked and frozen another batch of the rice and quinoa for future last minute salads. It freezes well and is a great starting point.
re: oakjoan
ohhhh - so rocket leaves is arugula? learn something new every day! thanks!
Quinoa (like rice) Pudding with sliced bananas and cinnamon. Nice alternative.
I have been making Deborah Madison's Quinoa Salad with Dried Fruit and Pine Nuts for ages now, probably close to 20 years. I distinctly remember eating it while waiting for my Lamaze class (and the kid is turning 19 in a couple of weeks). It is always delicious, and it is beautiful too.
By DGresh about 1 hour ago
Using a lot of ideas from this thread and a quinoa cookbook I own, I came up with a salad based on stuff I had in the fridge for last night's dinner:
Spinach and Red Quinoa Salad with Peaches and Feta
I spooned red quinoa, which I had previously rinsed, drained, steamed (using 1 1/2X water to quinoa) and cooled, atop a mound of spinach. I topped that with slivers of red onion, peach slices, crumbled feta, chopped dried cherries, and toasted almond slices. I made a vinaigrette of lemon juice, red wine vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, EVOO, S & P and drizzled that over the salad. I think next time I'd toss the quinoa with the vinaigrette before assembling the salad, but I still thought it was delicious. My husband said he liked it but found the combination of spinach and quinoa texturally weird--but I think he'll get over this. He's just not used to quinoa. Yet.
re: nomadchowwoman
That looks really good!
I got inspired and invented a nice room temp quinoa salad tonight to go with my grilled chicken chimichurri.
Cook the quinoa in chicken broth, when done --and cooled to just warm-- toss in a bowl with cubes of cucumbers, lime, olive oil, sun dried tomato, feta cheese -and lots of fresh oregano and fresh mint. Room temp was nice and allowed the herbs to really come forward. Perfect with chicken.
Yay, I'm on-topic for once! Screw you, former schoolteachers!
Ahem. With prompting from Moosewood's Simple Suppers, this (they say a pilaf, I say a salad and don't serve hot): http://theaprilblake.com/2011/03/vege...
I used half the quinoa (because I found I had only ~ 3/4C. left) but left the amount of veg the same and didn't bother measuring the onion. I used a fresh and a roasted red pepper; a couple of rather large carrots; and I added some corn when I added sweet peas. I didn't use garlic to sautee the veg before assembly, because I made the Glory Bowl dressing from a rice bowl recipe in a Whitewater cookbook: http://www.dollopofcream.com/2012/01/...
It was very good; I encourage everyone to make the dressing, just shaking the ingredients together in a jar or something, although unless you're feeding an army for a week you should probably do this thing by half-measure..
Wow! So many new quinoa recipes to try! Great idea - dish of the month, i.e.
In my kitchen, quinoa salad is the staple to pull out when I am short on time, just have basic ingredients but want something healthy and satisfying on the table. Also, no complaints at the table. Here's what I do:
Simmer about 1c quinoa (white) in about 1.75C of boiling salted water. Takes about 15-20 minutes. I uncover towards the end so any extra water evaporates. Spread out cooked quinoa on a platter to cool. Dressing - juice of whatever citrus is on hand, olive oil, ground cumin (about a tsp?), salt, pepper, maybe a drizzle of honey. Vegetables - one finely diced red bell pepper, 2 or 3 scallions sliced (white and green parts), 1 small cucumber, 1 can black beans drained and rinsed, large handful of cilantro leaves (or cilantro and mint). Toss it all together. Done.
just made some this morning..
chopped cucumber
thin sliced carrot
thin sliced red onion
grated broccoli stalk
red quinoa
coated in trader joes balsamic dressing
top with shreaded smoked peppered mackerel
I love love love this simple yet elegant salad which I found on Whole Food's website (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recip...). It's been a great hit at office potlucks and even "converted" a few colleagues to quinoa...
* 2 cups water
* 1 1/3 cup quinoa
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
* 1 1/2 cup green or red grapes quartered
* 1/2 cup sliced almonds toasted
Rinse quinoa under cold running water and drain. Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in quinoa and a pinch of salt then reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed,15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and set aside to let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt and pepper. Slowly add the oil, whisking well. Add quinoa and toss to combine. Add chicken, grapes and almonds and toss again. Serve at room temperature or chilled, if you like.
Bocconcini and Oregano Quinoa Salad – Quinoa The Everyday Superfood Cookbook p. 47
I've had this book for a while now but this is the first time I've actually prepared a recipe from it. Though this sounds fairly standard, what really elevated the dish was the dressing and I think the Dijon/balsamic combo was especially good. This received rave reviews all around and I've already made a second batch for lunches this week. An excellent salad!
If anyone's interested, I also found the recipe online:
simple recipe....boil it in some kind of stock.....when its ready chill it and mix it with cilantro, fresh squeezed lemon/lime add black beans and diced tomatos. Makes a delicious side!
The recipe using mango looks wonderful.
I have made this recipe a few times and loved it. Love the combo of quinoa, tomatoes, cuces, avocado and mint. Found the original on FN and altered it a bit to suit my taste. One warning, the original recipe calls for rinsing the quinoa after cooking. Not a good idea. I think they meant to say rinse before cooking... here's the link. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/fo...
I also posted it on my blog with pics.
re: dkennedy
The September voting thread will be up by tomorrow. There will be a link to it posted here, and it will also have a sticky.
The nomination thread for the September Dish of the Month is now up here:
Don't stop sharing your quinoa salads! It's just time to start thinking about our next dish.
I haven't seen anyone submit the Quinoa, Fruit and Nut Salad on page 138 of Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table. It is wonderful.
Here is a link to the recipe somebody set out on their blog:
Do follow the directions exactly, it makes a difference.
I adapted this curried wheatberry salad to quinoa since the wheatberries made for some unpleasantness -ahem- around here.
I just used 1 cup of uncooked quinoa in place of the uncooked wheatberries (quinoa rinsed and then cooked ~10 mins in salted water). Also good with cooked chickpeas mixed in.
re: amyamelia
amyamelia, thanks for the link to that recipe (and the chuckle) ... I like your variation for all the same reasons!! ; - )
Tonight I made cathyeats's quinoa with grilled corn and poblano peppers (http://tinyurl.com/clzedp2). It's a great summer salad. Roasted corn, poblanos and scallions are mixed with quinoa (lightly toasted before cooking), lime juice, olive oil, roasted pepitas, cilantro and s & p. I stay true to the recipe, but I like to add raw sliced scallions and minced serrano peppers. I love the combination of flavors and textures in this. Thanks cathyeats!
Just wanted to add this excellent Quinoa Salad with Iranian Dried Lime From Ottolenghi's Plenty to the mix on this thread
It was originally reported in the COTM and I have added my new report and a pic over there
re: jen kalb
Does anyone have the Le Pain Quotidien Cookbook? They make a wonderful Quinoa Salad with chickpeas, arugula, and avocado. I'd love to have the recipe so I could make it at home.
re: dkennedy
dk, it's really the vinaigrette dressing you need, right. The salad is made by combining the quinoa with their prepared tabouleh and arranging the other fresh ingredients on the plate.
The cafeteria where my boyfriend works apparently has some really great stuff. He was really excited about the quinoa salad they served one day and asked me to it for him. It was a cross between a greek salad and taboulleh made from quinoa. From his description, I mixed the quinoa with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, olives, chick peas and roasted red peppers. Dressed with lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, s&p and then topped with feta.
A really refreshing salad that I will definitely make again.
Re the popularity of quinoa: My department at work enjoys holding potlucks, but after 4 (out of 13) people brought quinoa salad to the last one, we had to put a moratorium on it. :) No more, at least for a while until we're all not sick of it anymore.
I have been making this dish from Vegetarian Times regularly since last fall when my CSA overloaded me with apples, week after week. It is good with any quinoa but especially gorgeous when you use the red as in the picture.
Gingery quinoa salad with apples, peas, and coconut:
I love Quinoa. I did not make a sald this month but an African inspired version of the dish. It's coconut Jollof Quinoa which tastes savory, sweet and lightly spicy. The recipe below
1 Cup of Quinoa
1/2 cup chopped Red Onions
1 Cup chopped red Tomatoes
1/2 Cup chopped red bell pepper
2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp chilli's
4 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup chicken broth or stock
2 tsp chicken bouillon
Heat up pot and add oil, and chopped vegetables. Stir.Add all the Seasonings and stir. Add quinoa and stir continuously for a few minutes
Add chicken stock and coconut milk. Stir and cover tightly. Simmer for twenty minutes.
Over High heat, place frying pan and heat up 2 tbsp of Oil. Sprinkle brown sugar and bouillon on fish fillets. Place fish, fleshy side down into pan. Allow to cook for 4 minutes per side before turning the fish over to cook other side.
Serve hot quinoa topped with blacked salmon. Sprinkle on some chopped parsley for a finished look.

Touching pregnant woman's belly against the law in Pa.
Updated On: Oct 28 2013 05:46:48 PM CDT
As children, we all learn to keep our hands to ourselves, but when it comes to touching a pregnant woman's belly, sometimes those lessons are overlooked.
Well, Pennsylvania lawmakers are reminding people that it is illegal to touch a woman's belly without permission.
Alissa Dickson is the mother of a 2-month-old baby boy. She said strangers would touch her belly frequently during her pregnancy.
"It was like every time I went to the store. Usually, it was someone who had a kid already and they missed the experience so they liked touching my stomach," said Alissa Dickson, of Exeter Township.
Unfortunately, Dickson said, they rarely asked permission.
"They just kind of go and it is like, OK well, you do not really say anything but it makes you feel uncomfortable," said Dickson.
But what Dickson did not know is that those strangers may have been committing a crime.
According to Pennsylvania state law, touching a pregnant woman's belly against her will can be considered harassment. A case in central Pennsylvania is putting the issue in the spotlight.
"I would be upset, I think, because it is my body and they just cannot come up and touch my stomach. It is like off limits," said Vivien Ouano, of Fleetwood.
All of the women we spoke with seemed to have the same opinion. They said they agree with the law because it is an invasion of their personal space.
"I do not know if it is harassment, but I think that it is a woman's choice," said Donna Dillon, of Muhlenberg Township.
"That is appropriate because it is your body and you just cannot have strangers coming and touching your body part," said Ouano.
So for new mothers like Dickson, she knows for next time that it is more than just a touchy issue.

Texas Wildfire Update 10: Volunteers Playing Key Role in Recovery
One month ago this week, drought-stricken Texas' severe wildfire season turned tragic when fires raged through neighborhoods in Bastrop and dozens of other communities around the state. Even as the fires burned, Texans were out in full force, supporting the neighbors whose homes and lives were in peril and the firefighters who were battling the blazes.
Bastrop, TX, October 1, 2011 --Volunteer assists with the clean-up efforts in Bastrop, TX. Groups from various faith-based programs are removing scrape metal from burned out homes and giving the homeowners the monies from the recycling fees.
In the midst of the fires, and in the weeks since, we have witnessed enormous generosity as Texans and other Americans have donated their time, their skills and their money, as well as food, clothing and household goods, to those whose lives have been shattered.
Volunteers are often the first in and the last to leave when a disaster strikes, and the Texas wildfires have been no exception. The armies of volunteers and organizations that have turned out to assist the Texans in need were here from the start, and many of them will continue to work for the long-term recovery of their communities well into the future.
While FEMA is perhaps better known as the distributor of federal dollars to help survivors get back on their feet after a disaster, we also strongly support volunteer efforts. A partnership agreement in Texas, for example, has brought 30 AmeriCorps member organizations to Bastrop County to help match volunteers with agencies that are serving disaster survivors.
And through our Voluntary Agency Liaisons, we also are working with the Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster and their partner organizations to meet survivors' needs that remain after insurance or state, local or federal assistance options have been exhausted.
The entire community working toward recovery
Alongside the volunteers, in many instances, have been Texas businesses that have contributed to the recovery effort with donations of food and other supplies, or that have given employees paid time off to help out.
It takes the whole community to help Texans and their neighborhoods recover from the wildfires, and FEMA is just one member of the team. We do not and cannot work in a vacuum. The team begins at the state and local levels. The businesses and the volunteers who rushed in to help — and who continue to work in fire-affected communities day in and day out — are vital members of the team. They are an essential component of every disaster response and recovery effort.
As FEMA's federal coordinating officer for the Texas recovery effort, I feel fortunate to have witnessed the generosity and kindness of spirit of the thousands of concerned Texans who are doing their part to help wildfire survivors heal.

Rio Grande Guardian > Border Business > Story
We know incentives can motivate individuals in various contexts, but the process of implementing coordinated economic incentives at a regional level is more complex. Mexico has taken a big leap forward to incentivize its energy industries. Now South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley are in positions to move forward.
Douglass North, economic historian, stated institutions form the incentive structure of a society and the political and economic institutions, as a consequence, are the underlying determinant of economic performance in his 1993 Economics Nobel Prize lecture. Institutions are the rules of the game in economic, political, and social interactions. Quite often, loci of political groups in countries can shape institutions toward the benefit of particular regimes, not for the citizens welfare. As a consequence, economic growth can suffer. If political regimes have incentives congruent with goals of economic efficiency and have the power to create change, economic performance can be improved.
Mexico has moved swiftly and deliberately to reshape its energy industry. Last month, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto signed into law a collection of laws to radically transform the countrys electricity, gas, and oil industries, a task completed within two years of entering office.
Mexicos electricity industry only has one nuclear power plant and small amounts of power generated by hydroelectric and renewable energy sources. Most of the countrys electricity is generated from natural gas, which will become ever more important as new generation capacity is built that uses natural gas. Significant natural gas reserves exist in Mexico, but it continues to be a net exporter of natural gas. Of primary interest to developers is the Burgos Basin in northeastern Mexico containing shale gas resources. Mexico is already a top-10 producer of oil and has positive net exports, but total oil production has been on the decline in recent years although reserves are high.
Mexican policy makers recognized the need for sustainable economic growth and the role of energy development as a key component. There were incentives for economic reform in its energy industries, with many reforms creating incentives for market participants. The new laws enable outside opportunities for gas exploration and production, including sophisticated drilling for shale gas. In addition, the regulatory reforms create opportunities for foreign investment to facilitate drilling and processing of hard to reach oil reserves. Competition is gas and oil is now a reality, as domestic firms will be able to compete directly with entrenched state-owned energy firm Pemex. Also, private participation will be allowed in electricity generation and distribution as opposed to only having state-owned operation.
Mexico has been innovative in reforming its energy industry to improve economic efficiency. Many challenges remain for the Mexican government, including the development of infrastructure in the dry, rural areas of northeastern Mexico to building supply-chains in the energy industry to ensuring transparency and efficiency of operation with new government entities affiliated with the energy industry. New incentive plans will be needed to improve opportunities for success.
South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley will be a part of Mexicos future in the energy industry. In a previously published column (Energy Renaissance Coming to South Texas), the Honorable Juan Chuy Hinojosa summarized how South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley are located in the middle of an energy revolution, between the burgeoning development of Eagle Ford Shale to the north and the Burgos Basin to the south. The Senator has been asked to chair a subcommittee investigating the economic impact of energy exploration in northern Mexico while assessing opportunities for cross-border growth and business collaboration.
South Texas College (STC) and Instituto Internacional de Estudios Superiores (IIES) will co-host INNO 2014, a binational innovation conference on cross-border economic development related to energy innovation. The conference is a two-day event with the second day of activities being held at the STC Technology Campus (Building B-Atrium) from 8:30am to 2:00pm on Friday, September 26. The agenda includes presentations and panel discussions covering economic conditions for the region, port innovation, economic development innovation, and a financial perspective of energy innovation. The keynote speaker, Mr. M. Max Yzaguirre of the Yzaguirre Group, Inc., will present Mexicos Energy Reform and Its Impact on Local Economic Development.
Implementation of coordinated incentives at a regional level isnt easy. South Texas businesses, financial institutions, policy makers, economic development organizations, institutions, and educators will need to be innovative. Input from the general public is needed. INNO 2014 will create a forum to envision a future for South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley in what Senator Hinojosa calls an energy renaissance. Questions on conference registration can be directed the STC Business Administration Department at (956)872-2764.
Salvador Martinez, Ph.D. is an economics instructor at South Texas College and co-author of Alternating Currents: Electricity Markets and Public Policy, a book analyzing issues regarding the opening of electricity markets.

I love casseroles. My favorites are my hamburger noodle casserole or chicken tetrazzini. Mmmmm...
|Mon, 04-22-2013 - 7:10am
Well I do like casseroles. I don't make them that often. John is not a huge fan of them. I use to make a Mexican one that was pretty good. I think it is because most call for a lot of cheese. I have cut way back on the amount of cheese I eat and cook with.
|Mon, 04-22-2013 - 9:00am
NOT a casserole fan. I am too picky - there is always gross stuff hidden in there.
I don't think my kids have ever even had one. Erick is not a fan, either. That is probably not good.
There is a chicken one mom used to make - chicken, cashews, chowmein noodles, celery - that I would actually eat a little of. Must have had a cream-of-something soup. Haven't made it in decades, though...... not since we were first married, I am sure.

I also love casseroles! I love that they are easy to reheat leftovers for lunch the next day PLUS they usually taste even better the next day. Yumm!
My favorites are Cheesy Potatoes w/Kielbasa, the 8 Layer Casserole that Tracy posted a few years ago, CHicken Divan and wet burrito casserole.

But first, I have to admit something. I didn't vote.
Wait! Wait! Don't stone me.
I got really sick today – totally knocked out by some bug. I woke with a small headache and went to the office. By 11:30AM I was holding my head in my hands and trying to not toss my cookies (a figure of speech) in the waste can. I left the office at noon. I barely made it in the door before I started screaming for a bucket. This is all TMI, right? Let's just say, not a good day. I passed out cold and then ran a fever for a few hours. I woke up around 5:30pm – I still have a headache but the nausea has subsided. I spent most of the evening laying on the couch eating crackers and playing with paper.
So…if my dude loses by one vote (unlikely, the electoral votes are looking good!!!) I will take full blame.
The Etsy lady that's been making shirts for me struck again. This came in the mail this morning before I bolted from the office. Love it and can't wait to throw it on with a pair of jeans. It'll be lots of fun next summer with capris and little white sneakers too.
So here's what I made tonight while moaning about my head, stomach and everything else…
Holiday tags! I think they're pretty cute. The Fiance took the pictures for me..and he made me toast and soup (thanks Sweetie!!).
OK…back to holding the couch down…and flipping back and forth to CNN.
EDIT: Obama wins. I cry. Oh so deliciously happy!

From the New York Daily News:
Is nothing sacred?
Priests at some Bronx churches have seen an uptick in crimes inside and around their houses of worship.
Purses are stolen from pews during Communion. Cars parked outside get broken into during Mass.
"It's very sad," said Rev. Francis Skelly of Immaculate Conception Church in Melrose. "You have to pray with one eye open."
One priest even had a chain snatched off his neck in front of his church, St. Nicholas of Tolentine in University Heights.
"I see this guy running across the street," said the Rev. Joseph Girone. "As soon as he crossed me, he just yanked it from my neck and kept running."
"In a way, it's a blessing," Girone said of being victimized. "When someone tells me they've been through a crime, I can say, 'Yeah, me too.'"
Crime is plaguing the church, a grand cathedral at Fordham Road and University Ave. A purse was stolen during a funeral; kids broke into the church gym twice in the past month; a man steals from offering boxes, using a hanger to fish out dollar bills; and a mentally ill man broke a statue, shattered a glass pane on a door, and threw a Communion cup to the floor during Mass.
Thefts and car break-ins are common lately at Immaculate Conception Church in Melrose, the Rev. Francis Skelly said.
"You park your car in front of my church, it's going to get broken into," Skelly said. "They know they're in here for an hour. It's taking advantage."
Skelly said at least five cars were burglarized since September. And enough women have told Skelly of thefts from pews that he advises everyone during Mass to take their bags with them to Communion.
Frances Wright, 46, carries her purse to the Host grudgingly.
"It's quite embarrassing when you have to do that," Wright said. "You feel you're not humble."
There's more. Read on.

Greenville woman arrested on forgery charge
Shannon Fontaine, 28, of 42 Adams Ave., also is charged with possession of a prescription drug, trazodone hydrochloride, a class A misdemeanor.
Police said she was arrested after a bank teller noticed the signature on the check did not match the account holder's signature on file. A call was made to the account holder, who knows Fontaine, and who said no check was issued to her.
Police said Fontaine fled the bank on foot but was later stopped by officers and arrested. When she was searched, police said they found the drug on her. She did not have a prescription for it, according to police.
What's next: Fontaine was released on $2,500 personal recognizance bail, pending an April 17 arraignment in 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division.

text: Ne-Yo thinks Chris Brown is being treated unfairly by the justice system because he's a celebrity. Ne-Yo is wrong, but that's what he thinks. Our photog caught up with the R&B superstar yesterday after leaving the gym, where he voiced his clear support for CB … saying the system "likes to make an example out of celebrities." Let's not mince words here … Chris Brown beat Rihanna to a pulp and got five years probation for it … meaning he had to behave himself. But since then he's gotten in numerous brawls (one with Drake, another with Frank Ocean) before getting arrested for assault last year. He's tried going to rehab twice (once by court order) but was kicked out both times. Does that sound like someone who is being treated unfairly?

Jan 22, 2012I loved this movie. I thought it was better than the last 2. I really enjoyed the 3rd movie(Rise of the Lycans), but I was left wanting way more action scenes. So I was very happy with (Awakening), I don't understand at all why it got such bad reviews on meta-critic. I saw this with a small group of friends and we all thought it was awesome! I mean it had a ton of great action, Selene(Kate) was bad azzzzz! and Hott!, as usual. We got to meet some cool new characters. I will admit that we were a group of 5 guys though, and I think guys tend to look more for action than romance and story, for the most part. This 1 may have been lacking a little in story and lot in the romance dept. compared to all the other ones but if your a true fan of the "Underworld" series, than I think your going to enjoy this movie anyways. =)… Expand
Jan 26, 2012I think that they did a great job with this movie. Action is simply amazing, even comparable to Matrix. Selene (Kate) is beautiful and badass as always. I'm a big fan of Underworld series and I hope that they will make more, prequel would be awesome because Lucian and Raze are great characters and they need more screen time. All in all, nice and exciting movie.
Jan 21, 2012As a big fan of Underworld, I was anxiously awaiting the release of the movie. I was not disappointed. The movie was filled with action and I thought the story was pretty decent as well. It was basically all action from start to finish and the fight sequences were awesome. If you are in the mood to see things blown up or blown away, you will love this movie.
Jan 24, 2012I would like to start out by saying that I am a huge Underworld fan because it makes Twilight look like a bunch of babies. It has everything blood,violence, a girl killing people, and a sexy Beckinsale. I will say it isn't the greatest in the series but the special effects are. I would rank it third
Jan 20, 2012I'll respect the opinions of the people who did not enjoy this movie and yes this was in my opinion just a setup to keep the franchise going but there was still enough story and plot to keep you interested, I was never bored and there were several scenes that got your blood pumping. Go see it at a theater that has a good projector/sound setup, preferably not a multiplex.. The story seemed to be set on a rail of predictability and yes the addition of what we knew might happen after the end of Evolution happened, yes, yes it did, well.. trying not to spoil it for anyone. If you like Selene in tight clothes and stylized bloody gore with gigantic Werewolves then you will not be disappointed. If you like Twilight and are Team Jacob/Edward, this is not for you!… Expand
Jan 29, 2012I am going to give it a 10 based on Selene and the action and beauty she provides on screen. There's no one like Kate Beckinsale to make this such a sleek and amazing action franchise. You take her out and you have nothing, with her in you have everything. Yes, they could have made the movie a bit longer and worked on the script and backstory much better - as well as approach Michael in a much different way: CGI is not the answer. I don't really care about much because Kate Beckinsale IS the movie, but I hope they have a better script next one. The backstory was great, but the execution could have been much better.… Expand
Jan 22, 2012The movie was delectably the best one in my opinion, the Michael and Selene love story wasn't there as much and the budget seemed to be a bit higher making the action and choreographing a lot better. The made Kate look even more beautiful in this one and showed a more growing of maturity for reasons i won't spoil in the movie. The only thing i didn't like was the replacement for Michael which wasn't shown to much from the replacement to irratate me and i won't knock off a point for the movie because of this. If you love the Underworld series you will love this one!… Expand
Jun 11, 2012Finally, an Underworld movie that I LOVED and didn't just like. This is a story I want to see. Lycans more powerful than ever, Vampire on the verge of extinction, a hybrid family, a bad ass little hybrid girl and connection and love between them all. Plus, the fight scenes were incredible. Great action! Good movie! It's a 9/10. Let's hope the 5th film is a 10 and ends it with a bang!
Feb 18, 2012Lets get one thing straight. This is a movie about vampires and werewolves that thankfully doesn't have teenage angst issues. That in itself should make it a 10! This is a movie in the Underworld series. Again, reason for a 10. If you don't like either the genre or the franchise, you won't enjoy this movie. Remember what it is, and you'll love it. Insane action and completely unnecessary bloodshed and violence ... of course!… Expand
Sep 11, 2012After i watched the fourth movie today, i noticed that i love this series so much that i can say this is one of the best movie series ever created. Not any worse than any of those masterpieces that are Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park. I believe that Underworld will never cease to be exciting, amazing and fabolous. Vampyre-Lycan conflict has always been a popular plot for lots of movies in cinema history but this one made a difference with all these distinct characters: Selena, Marcus, Viktor, William. Characters are great, story are great, action and horror and mythology are all displayed so good. The only thing lacks is the music selection. Makes me feel like i watched a bad ending romantic drama during that credits rollout. But that is not enough to make me drop the point for this movie lower than 10. I would love to see some sequels; 5, 6...… Expand
Feb 9, 2012Brutally pulchritudinous . Lives up to the rest of the Underworld movies. It stands for everything the others have and more. It has a very stylish, Gothic nature just like the others with some other new elements added to give this one its own place among the rest of the movies. Kate Beckinsale is as awesome as ever, its very dark, the fighting is over the top enough to be fantasy but down to earth enough to be brutal, and this one and the rest of the series are most likely the baddest ass vampire/werewolf movies out there. This one like all the others is just beautifully bloody . And to make things even more awesome; there was an Evanescence song during the credits. People have been relating Underworld to Evanescence for almost a decade and its finally been done officially. Its just awesome. If you hate vampire movies and action movies you will most likely hate this. But if you love a good story and hardcore action you will most likely love it. Critics bash it mainly because there is this unwritten rule that states in order to sound intelligent you must blatantly insult something. I don't buy it. I went to this movie on opening night and didn't want to sleep when I walked out. I find the critics score of this movie to be appallingly fallacious . Trust the user score. Not the critics. Its a very fun movie that is sure to entertain especially if you are a fan of the other movies. Trust me, they didn't let you down with this one.… Expand
Jan 21, 2012I was not disappointed. Battles in the film were very good. Kate Beckinsale once again showed that it is the best and that Selene is her embodiment of strength and beauty. I look forward to seeing how Michael will return.
Jan 23, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just a general warning, this post may contain spoilers. Itâ… Expand

Feb 27, 2012Personally, I feel this was a great movie. Thought it didn't have much of a plot it made up for it with all the action. I think the Underworld series needed this movie and I hope it continues to go on especially because I want to see if the vampires can fight back and what would happen to Michael. Will he end up getting killed? Will he be able to see his daughter? or how many even the daughter turn out? Just a good movie in my opinion. It was a great movie to watch.… Expand
Mar 24, 2012All I really have to say is that it is just a wonderful movie and I really just want them to like add a little more to the movie but overall it was just FANTASTIC!
Apr 28, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Taken from my review posted on the SAFATFILMBITES site: Selene Is Back! But does she have enough ammo to shoot her way through this adventure? WARNING: This review may contain spoilers!
Kate Beckinsale returns as Selene for the fourth film in the action packed franchise. Awakening follows Selene as she battles the humans as they try to exterminate the vampires and the lycans. Not only does she have to battle them, she also must save her hybrid daughter from the lycans as well. This film is no doubt THE best film in the series, itâ… Expand
Apr 24, 2014I think is great history, and much better than other recently movies of vampires like twilight and all this **** Underworld 4 deserved the next sequel.
There is running, hiding, fighting, shooting, bleeding, biting, slicing, dicing, and damnably little entertainment value in any of it.
A brisk creature-feature that ditches the series' dreary mythology in favor of a more direct, action-oriented approach.
There's not much to this movie beyond a slick procession of dark, gleaming violence. But Selene lovers would pay good 3D money to see her fight a parking ticket.

Small but rarely crowded, this beach will remain in your memory long after your visit. Fingers of white foam rush onto a black volcanic-pebble beach fringed with green beach vines and palms. Swimming here is both relaxing and invigorating: Strong currents bump smooth stones up against your ankles while seabirds flit above a black, jagged sea arch. There are picnic tables and grills. At the edge of the parking lot a sign tells you the sad story of a doomed Hawaiian princess. Stairs lead through a tunnel of interlocking Polynesian hau (a native tree) branches to an icy cave pool—the secret hiding place of the ancient princess. You can swim in this pool, but beware of mosquitoes. In the other direction a dramatic 3-mile coastal path continues past sea arches, blowholes, and cultural sites all the way to Hana town. Amenities: parking (free); showers; toilets. Best for: walking.
A road near the Grand Wailea Resort takes you to Wailea Beach, a wide, sandy stretch with snorkeling and swimming. If you're not a guest at the Grand Wailea or Four Seasons the cluster of private umbrellas and chaise lounges can be a little annoying, but any complaint is more than made up for by the calm, unclouded waters and soft, white sand. From the parking lot, walk to the right to get to the main beach; to the left is another, smaller section that fronts the Four Seasons. There are picnic tables and grills away from the beach. Amenities: parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: snorkeling; swimming.
This popular park is also known as Thousand Peaks, because there's barely a break between each wave. Beginning to intermediate surfers say it's a good spot to longboard or body board. It's easy entry into the water, and you don't have to paddle out far. The beach itself leaves something to be desired, because it's more dead grass than sand, but there is some shade, mostly from thorny kiawe trees; footwear is a good idea. Portable toilets are available, along with picnic tables and grills. Amenities: parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: surfing.
The island's northernmost beach is part of the Honolua-Mokuleia Marine Life Conservation District. "Slaughterhouse" is the surfers' nickname for what is officially Mokuleia. Weather permitting, this is a great place for body surfing and sunbathing. Concrete steps and a green railing help you get down the cliff to the sand. The next bay over, Honolua, has no beach but offers one of the best surf breaks in Hawaii. Competitions are often held there; telltale signs are cars pulled off the road and parked in the pineapple field. Amenities: none. Best for: sunset; surfing.
Kaihalulu Beach, better known as Red Sand Beach, is unmatched in its raw and remote beauty. It's not simple to find, but when you round the last corner of the trail and are confronted with the sight of it, your jaw is bound to drop. Earthy red cliffs tower above the deep maroon beach, and swimmers bob about in a turquoise lagoon formed by volcanic boulders. The experience is like floating in a giant natural bathtub. It's worth spending a night in Hana so you can get here early to enjoy it before anyone else shows up.

President Barack Obama has made a new induction into his iPod player by adding Grand Hustle newcomer B.o.B. to his official playlist.
Speaking on his performance yesterday's Gen44 Summit concert in Washington, D.C., B.o.B. reflected on chopping it up with The Chief.
"It went real well actually man, lotta energy in there," B.o.B. said about his performance. "On a scale of one to then it would probably have to rank at 44…He got me in his iPod…I was like you got a real good iPod then. I made a presidential iPod…He congratulated me on all the success and said he was proud of everything that I was doing. We snapped a few pictures. It was a really good, really good day yesterday." (XXL Mag)
Recently, Obama stated that his hip-hop iPod mainstays included rap heavyweights Nas and Lil Wayne.
"Thanks to Reggie [Love, the president's personal aide], my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I've got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days." (Rolling Stone)
In the past, Jay-Z revealed that he was also one of the president's personal favorites.
Rapper Jay-Z said President Barack Obama was among his biggest fans and that he frequently played the artist's explicit tunes while exercising, it was reported Friday. The 10-time Grammy award winner said in an interview with U.K. broadcaster the BBC that the President enjoyed working up a sweat to the sounds of Jay-Z's latest album, Blueprint 3. "Barack loves hip hop. When I called him he was playing Blueprint in the gym," the star said. (My Fox)
B.o.B.'s performance marked the kick-off of a three-day series.
The rapper will perform at a special gig that will mark the start of the three day summit, which will also feature a speech fromObama. The summit is designed to "cultivate and empower a rising generation of leaders for the Democratic Party," and runs from September 30 to October 2, 2010. B.o.B has gone from strength to strength in the last year or so with hit singles 'Airplanes' and 'Nothin' On You' making him a household name. (Undercover)
Check out a recent B.o.B. interview down below:
