Sweet Purple Potatoes

- ny.frenchfry Jan 29, 2011 01:33 PM
Anyone know where to buy Sweet Purple Potatoes? Not to be confused with the Peruvian Purple Potatoes that you can find at the Farmer's Market. Apparently these elusive potatoes are delicious and sweeter than the yellow sweet potatoes.
re: AubWah
Wow, that was super fast! Thank you.... will check it out tonight.
Many Japanese/Asian markets have them, as they are also termed "Japanese Sweet Potatoes." THey can be found at the Columbus Circle Whole Foods or Westerley Market/
I just posted a few weeks ago asking the same question because I was getting them in Chinatown last month, but wanted to see where I could get them now. Good to know. They're amazing! They're also called Hawaiian purple yams or Japanese Yams (but not the white ones with the dark skin, although those are really good too).
I've never seen Peruvian potatoes at the farmer's market, but there is a vendor at Union Square on Mondays who sells the deep-red-skinned Asian-style sweet potato and a couple of other varieties. He told me a few weeks ago that he would be there through the winter. I've not been back since on a MOnday so am not sure if he is still at his post.
re: erica
Were the red-skinned ones also blackened in places on the outside? Could they be the ones I was looking for in this thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7499... ?
re: FoodDabbler
I'm sorry I cannot remember. I do remember t hat they were delicious and that I was very excited to learn that they planned to be there all winter. If I ever get rid of my current cold, I will head down there on a Monday and try to find out more...
re: FoodDabbler
He was located on the west side of the market, on the strip that runs perpendicular to 17th Street. Not only were his potatoes great but he also had some of the lowest prices in the market.
re: erica
Healthway Farm from Highland, New York. They're on the west side of Union Square Greenmarket between 15th and 16th streets. Only there Monday. They have a very interesting selection of potatoes most at one dollar a pound. Last week I tried the Inca Gold ones, two dollars a pound because the seed is much more expensive but well worth it. Try some you'll probably be back for more.

re: BluPlateSpec
These are "yams (sweet potatoes)" we're talking about here......the way OP wrote it is confusing I know. I had a similar misunderstanding when I was searching for mine. Purple potatoes are a lot easier to find.
re: coll
Yes, there's a bit of confusion scattered through this thread about what potatoes we're discussing. The OP meant "purple sweet potatoes", not "sweet purple potatoes".
In any case, I went to the Union Sq. Greenmarket this morning. The Healthway Farm stand that BluePateSpec mentions carries potatoes mainly (blue and not), not sweet potatoes. They had none today (sweet potatoes), but they said they usually have a few. They do not carry Japanese sweet potatoes of any color. But the person womanning the stand pointed me to "Karl" and said he usually carries them. Karl turned out to be from Race Farms. That stand is surely the one Erica (hope you're feeling better) was pointing me to. They had three varieties of sweet potatoes today, none purple fleshed. But two looked slightly promising in my personal quest (mentioned above). Their cream-fleshed Japanese sweet potatoes had the red-black skin I remembered but not the weird shapes. A variety called Bouergard had the deep orange flesh I remembered but a more orange skin. I bought a couple of each and I just roasted them. Neither is the object of my quest. The Bouergard are sweet, but not perfumed. The Japanese are starchy and not very sweet. My quest continues.
re: FoodDabbler
Sorry about the confusion. I stopped by Healthway farm today and got more Inca Gold potatoes. this time I baked them instead of boiled and the were still outstanding; tasty, creamy and just moist enough.
re: FoodDabbler
HI, Food Dabbler! You are correct. It was Race Farms. I remembered the name when I read your post. But I am so sorry that they were not great...I can't think of where else to go until Lani's and BodhiTree return to the market in the spring..
I just saw Japanese Sweet Potatoes at Barzini's on Broadway near 91st.
2455 Broadway, New York, NY 10024
So I tried all the recommendations and here's the current report:
Eataly, not available.
WHole Foods, Columbus Circle: last time they had it was four months ago. They also said it was called "Adirondack Blue" potatoes. Not sure if it's the same sweet potato or another breed.
Westerly Market, not available.
Chinatown, not available.
Good News!!! Just called Chelsea Market Fruit Exchange and they said they have it!! going to get it now. $1.19 a pound. Will report back if it's really true.
200 5th Ave, New York, NY 10010
re: ny.frenchfry
When did you go to Westerley? I just got them on Saturday there; they had a large box. (They are located across the aisle from the other sweet potatoes, sitting in front of their other produce) Many of them are relatively small, but they were in good shape. I also just got them at WHole Foods within the past month, though I have to admit I haven't gotten them in the last couple of weeks as I've been picking them up at Westerley. Good to know that Chelsea has them for $1.19 though, as at Westerley they are I think 2.49!
Edit: the adirondack blues are not the same thing (they look more similar to starchier peruvian purple potatoes); the person at Whole Foods may not have known what you were referring to, which would explain why they thought they hadn't had them in 4 months while in fact they have had them recently
re: ny.frenchfry
Where did you go in Chinatown? I almost always see them at Hong Kong Supermarket. Occasionally the vendors on Mott will also have them.
I've never seen them at Chelsea Market. Usually they carry the Purple Peruvians.

re: JungMann
i saw them on the street once along canal and at a small market on bayard, one west of mott on the south side of the street.
re: ny.frenchfry
What was the outcome? Did you get your fix?
re: FoodDabbler
Got 'em! At Chelsea Market's Manhattan Fruit Exchange. They came in on Thursday. Delicious! You have to ask them to get them from the back room, I got 2.5 pounds, there's about ten pounds left in the box. They charged $2.99 a pound.
Manhattan Fruit Exchange
75 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011
re: ny.frenchfry
So what exactly do they call them at the Fruit Exchange? I may have to make the trek to try them out..based on your comments.. Do they usually stock them?
Coll: Did you get them at Fruit Exchange and if not, where?
I had to buy a case to get them, from what I'm told they are only available Nov to Jan. The ones I got were from Hawaii, I think those are well regarded. I gave most of them away to interested parties, but it was worth it to try. I'm going to say it was $45 for around 30 lbs? I guess I could have planted the leftover spuds next spring, but I didn't have any leftover.
I have several that I got at a local market recently (I am in NC not NYC) but haven't prepared them yet. Mainly, I got them out of curiosity. My question is can the be used interchangeably with regular sweet potatoes or do they require some special preparation? Can someone recommend good ways to use them?
re: Leepa
They do generally take significantly longer to cook and soften up; you can have them when they are firmer, but they get much sweeter once you fully cook them. They are also less fibrous than their orange counterparts. Otherwise, they would be relatively interchangeable; they are a different flavor profile (less vegetal sweetness, slightly more earthy), but I would imagine they would substitute well.
re: orthorunner
I tried them today at lunchtime. Other than the curiosity factor, I probably won't bother again. I thought they were a bit mealy once cooked. And they were fully cooked. Maybe they weren't fresh.

I am building bcs to manage my propane build and was wondering what SSRs folks would recommend for purchasing? I will be using them for my two pumps and my two burners.
Mine is an electric/gas hybrid. My HLT, HEX, and pump are all electric, connected to SSR's and controlled by the BCS-460. The burner for the boil is natural gas fueled and is manually controlled. As for SSR's, you'll need one for your pump but I don't believe you'll need them for solenoid valves for your burners. I could be wrong but I think they're all low voltage and you can probably control them directly with the BCS. These are the type of SSR's I used for my pumps and the 120v 1500w elements:http://www.ebrewsupply.com/internal-...s/40a-ssr.html

Other Ways to Give
In addition to giving through your will, there are several ways to make special gifts right now that you may wish to consider:
IRA rollovers: Congress has re-authorized a provision that allows donors to make gifts from their IRA accounts to one or more charities, without first incurring income tax on the withdrawal. This means that you can direct that amount to Mother Jones with no federal income tax liability. An IRA rollover may provide you with an excellent opportunity to make a gift during your lifetime from an asset that would be subject to multiple levels of taxation if it remained in your taxable estate. To qualify:
- You must be age 70 ½ or older at the time of gift.
- Transfers must be made directly from a traditional IRA by your plan provider to Mother Jones. Funds that are withdrawn by you and then contributed do not qualify. Gifts from 401k, 403b, SEP and other plans do not qualify.
- Gifts must be made outright to Mother Jones, not through a third party (such as a donor-advised fund).
Gift of stock: You can help amplify the voice of independent media and simultaneously reduce your tax bill by making a gift of stock. By donating appreciated stocks, bonds, and mutual-fund shares that you have owned for more than one year, you can completely avoid capital gains tax and receive an income tax deduction for the fair market value of your gift. To make a gift of stock, ask your broker to transfer the shares to the Foundation for National Progress. The transfer should be coded as follows:
- Charles Schwab Schwab One Account Foundation for National Progress, d.b.a. Mother Jones Tax ID #: 94-2282759 Account #: 4176-1072 DTC Clearing 0164, Code 40
Life insurance policies: You may decide to include Mother Jones as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy that you already have. To do this, you will have to contact your insurance company and formally designate the Foundation for National Progress d.b.a. Mother Jones, as a beneficiary of your policy. You may have purchased a life insurance policy that is fully paid-up. By transferring ownership and beneficiary status to Mother Jones, you can receive an immediate income tax deduction and make a significant impact on our work.
Memorial and honorary gifts: Honor someone whose memory you hold dear by giving a tribute or memorial gift to the Mother Jones Investigative Fund. Your generous gift expresses a genuine commitment to independent investigative reporting. Tell us whom you'd like to receive notice of this tribute gift, and we'll send a personalized Mother Jones card to the recipient, or his or her loved ones, in your name.
Matching gifts: Matching gifts are an easy way to double or even triple your charitable contributions and advance the work of Mother Jones and progressive journalism. Ask your company's personnel office for a matching-gift form, then send it to Mother Jones along with your contribution.
If you'd like to discuss the possibility of making a planned gift to Mother Jones or need any additional information, please contact Laurin Asdal, director of development, at (415) 321-1700 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can also request more information here.

France, 1946 (MIFF 2011, MIFF 60th Retrospective)
Director: Jean Cocteau
"Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time." - Jean Cocteau
Screening at the very first MIFF in 1952, Beauty and the Beast comes from one of the finest exponents of the avant-garde that France has ever seen, the prodigiously talented Jean Cocteau. It is a marvel of filmmaking, a surrealist masterwork that revels in the possibilities opened up by the moving image.
A children's fairytale transformed into haunting post-World War II allegory, Cocteau's vision of Beauty and the Beast is readily familiar yet deeply strange. Woven through with Dali-esque imagery, Freudian undercurrents and a lingering obsession with death, Cocteau painted a world both beautiful and perverse, a glittering phantasm of fevered love and the everpresent hope of redemption.

Aria Melody was great! We had Joseph as our DJ and greatly enjoyed working with him. He really listened to what we wanted (no cheesy songs or excess time on the mike!) and incorporated some last minute changes/additions the day of the wedding seamlessly. We had an amazing time dancing our hearts out, as did our friends/family. We'd recommend Aria Melody in a heartbeat!

Everyone raved about how great of a DJ we hired for our wedding, and we have Owen to thank! He did a superb job keeping the music going and getting everyone on the dance floor. The floor was packed basically the entire night, so compliments to the DJ! One of the introductions got messed up, but it was an honest mistake that I think was due to an error in printing the names in our wedding party. I was a bit bummed that he prematurely began a particular song before we were ready for it, but again, it was likely miscommunication and would have happened with any DJ company. Overall, we were very pleased with Owen and Aria Melody, and we were so fortunate to have had them perform at our wedding! Owen did a fantastic job, and so many of our friends made it a point to tell us how excellent our DJ was at mixing music and keeping everyone on the dance floor! We would 100% recommend Owen and Aria Melody to anyone and everyone!!!!

My husband and I just got married last weekend, August 30, 2014 and we had Joe as our DJ. From the beginning when we first met him we already had a good feeling about him and when we met up in person we knew that we really made the right decision. I gave him a list of songs so he can have an overview of what we like to listen to and he used that to curate an awesome set list for our wedding. Our wedding was such a blast and everyone was on their feet from the 5 year old to the 70 years olds! He knew when to keep the crowd up and going and when to let them rest and over all he just gave such a great energy! All our friends immediately asked for his information and my mother in law even wants him to DJ her birthday party!! Thank you so much Joe for such a wonderful time, you made our wedding perfect!
Joey and Michelle :)

Thank You, Owen!!! Aria Melody was perfect for our wedding. Owen was awesome to work with and did a great job. He accommodated all our requests, and even found some Italian songs that were requested by our families. He was helpful in guiding us to select the perfect ceremony and reception music for key moments. We are so happy to have worked with Owen and Aria Melody - can't recommend them enough!

Talk about a DANCE PARTY!! From the moment we walked in through the doors the WHOLE ENTIRE wedding was dancing their asses off! Owen, our DJ for the night listened to every single word we said, and totally made our wedding the party of the year.
We are so thankful to John, who runs the company and Owen, for their vision and listening to our details. I cannot wait to have another party and have them rocking the house again!
We love you!

John was amazing to work with! He responded to all emails very quickly and was very professional. We sent him a list of the types of songs we wanted played and some must plays. He filled in the gaps, and kept the dance floor full all night. And most important to us, there we no gimmicks or cheesy announcements, just great music! Would highly recommend!

We decided on Aria after seeing Owen dj a friends wedding. The music was awesome and we loved that he never made the night about him. So happy we moved forward with him for our own wedding. He had the dance floor packed the entire night and did a flawless job of feeling out the crowd and playing the right music at the right time. If you want great tunes and a professional who understands it's your night, aria is the way to go. He also did the ceremony and cocktail hour - worth every penny!

Let me start by saying: all of the guests we've heard from has said they loved the music and how perfectly it fit our wedding. We knew early on that we wanted a simple elegant reception to match our personality as a couple. When we met Owen over coffee, we got a good feeling from him that he understood what we were going for AND that he was a professional who knew all the small details we couldn't predict that would help make the day perfect. Owen worked with us to make the reception the perfect mix of excitement, casual, fun, and elegant. As I said earlier, everyone tells us they had a fantastic time, and we really loved it. Thank you so much Owen and Aria Melody, we will gladly recommend you to our friends!

I always second guess reviews with all 5's but Aria Melody definitely deserves the high ratings. I was contacted quickly by John Sinclair after I left my contact information online. He outlined everything I needed to know regarding Aria's services and was beyond helpful. He took care of all of the administrative duties and made sure I was taken care of up to my wedding date.
Joseph Schimicci DJ'ed my wedding and I cannot say enough great things about Joe. He took the time discuss the vibe I was going for at the wedding, the type of music I liked (and the type of music my groom, and family liked as well) I had some pretty specific requests and Joe was able to deliver on everything I needed. After giving Joe a list of songs he was able to incorporate other songs not on the list that I absolutely loved. I allowed my guests to make requests but one of the songs requested I was not a fan of so while dancing I made eye contact withe Joe and he knew right away to smoothly transition out to the next song. It was pretty cool :). A month later guests were still asking about my venue and my DJ.
I highly, highly recommend Aria Melody and would use them again for any event where I need DJ services.

I had the pleasure to work Owen for my wedding. From our first meeting to the day of the event, he was so easy to work with. My music selections were played, my do not play list was not played..it was awesome! I made changes to playlist along the process and everything was handled effortlessly. Not to mention, my guests were talking about how great the music was well after my event. Great signs of an awesome DJ!

We hired John to DJ our Manhattan wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision! From our first meeting to our final check-in before the wedding, he was so easy and fun to work with. I consider myself kind of a "music" person and he did an absolutely perfect job playing at our reception. Guests gushed over his song choices and the dance party that ensued exceeded our wildest hopes for the night. Thanks so much John and the Aria team!

We absolutely loved Aria Melody from the moment we contacted them to the end of the wedding! We first met with John in person and went over what our thoughts were for the wedding music. He was flexible from the very beginning as we were still debating whether to have a DJ or live music for the cocktail hour. We ended up going with the live music and they were very flexible with accommodating that in the schedule. Prior to the wedding, John told us that due to his other work that he was unable to play at the wedding but assured us that Owen would be just as great (Owen actually DJ'd for John's wedding). We spoke with Owen and were just as comfortable with him as we were with John. After sending our thoughts on dinner music and dance music, Owen ensured music was great for all ages and kept the dance floor going all night. He play our must haves and we trusted him fully to pump up the party (as he is the expert in this area so we didn't want to interfere much). Great professionalism and most of all everyone had a BLAST! Thank you John and Owen from Aria Melody for making our night so special and memorable!

We had a good feeling about John from the first time we spoke with him. In fact, he made our decision pretty easy, even though he was a bit outside our budget. But in the end, he was definitely worth it. Our biggest criteria was putting people on the dance-floor and he delivered. Professional (easily managed three different set-ups in a challenging venue), attentive, and personable...just about everything we could want from someone who played such a big part on our special day.
We'd recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who wants to feel at ease about their DJ decision.

John with Aria Melody is exactly who he claims to be....no lights, no gimmicks, no fog...and that is exactly what we wanted for our wedding reception! What we also got was an amazing playlist of music that kept our guests and us on the dance floor all night long! John was extremely professional from the moment we spoke with him on the phone a year before our event and he was very responsive with song selection and music edits leading up to the big day. It was a pleasure working with John, he was friendly, timely and personable. Music selection was a small source of stress for us and John relieved that by giving us the confidence that he would take care of everything and he did! We can't thank John enough for helping create the exact environment we wanted for our wedding day!

John from Aria Melody delivered more than we could ever ask for! His professionalism, creativity and attention to detail was outstanding. We knew we didn't want all the gimmicks, smoke, lights and loud DJ announcements and that's exactly what John delivered! People complemented the fact that the music spoke for itself. John was able to take our song ideas and choose the genre's and music we absolutely love....neither us nor our guests left the dance floor all night! His talent for putting together that perfect mix stood out. Our guests haven't stopped telling us how great the music was and what an awesome time they had! And neither can we!! We cannot thank John enough for helping us achieve the environment we dreamt of for our wedding!

My husband and I chose Aria Melody DJ for our wedding, because we loved their tag line: No Lights, No Fog, No Gimmicks, which is exactly what we wanted and that is exactly who they are. We worked with Owen, who was incredibly responsive, great with providing suggestions and very professional. Owen played the ceremony and the reception and all seemed to flow nicely. There were also a couple points in the evening that we requested a certain song to be played, at an exact time and he nailed it each time. The dance floor seemed to be filled throughout the night, with all different ages, and the positive feedback we received in the following days confirmed, for us, that we made the right decision in hiring Aria Melody for our wedding. I would definitely work with them, again!

cafe du monde
Just got back from your great city. ate at galatoires,mandinas,emerils,fins,camelia grill,coffee pot(best bkf)
But!!!!! there is a difference between old and quaint and just plain dirty and run down.
Stood outside cafe du monde waiting for my girlfriend to finish shopping. t
That owner must net a 100k a week selling that menu.He could at least put a coat of paint on it and fix the rotted wood and paint those filthy cement pillars. And don't even want to mention the condition of the rest rooms.
Some one said Katrina was the best thing to happen to Mandina's.new and improved is better than old and run down.
Oh well, I'll still keep coming back.
I'm surprised... It is almost 200 years old, though. The French Market is owned by the city of New Orleans. Maybe they should knock the whole thing down and rebuild it new. so it looks like anywhere USA. LOL On there web site, their beignet's and coffee are $2 ea. So let's say your average person has one of ea. So by your estimate $$ that's 25,000+ people a week, 3600 people a day, 450 people an hour or 7 people a minute being served by two restrooms (I believe). No problem closing those bathroom's... Maybe that is what they should do, close the bathrooms. They do have the garden in the alley. Or lets close sections of the place to mop and sweep. Not trying to be smart, just very protective of my local New Orleans eateries, especially after Katrina. Hope your next experience in New Orleans is a good one...
re: NOLAJOE
If they rely on the city the renovations will never be done. Too bad. More clean bathrooms would be nice but I don't expect CDM to spend the money. If I rented an apartment I would not be expected to do renovations for free.
re: mrsfury
If you've been to their bathrooms, you've seen the kitchen. I don't think they have anough room now. I would rather the table's and chairs, than a bigger bathroom. I was just being sarcastic about the knocking down thing. Good night...
re: NOLAJOE
I know you were being sarcastic NOLAJOE. I hope you did not take offense to anything I said.
You want shiny 'n' new, come to NYC! The old NYC had too much texture, so we're razing anything that wasn't built five minutes ago, and replacing it with a chain store or "luxury" tower. (P.S. I'm THIS close to moving to New Orleans.)
Your mention of Cafe du Monde reminds me that I stumbled across a nice recipe for calas today: http://www.nolacuisine.com/2006/09/25...
Somewhere I read that The Coffee Pot (714 St. Peter) serves calas. Has anyone tried them?
re: BrooksNYC
I made a special pilgrimage to the Coffee Pot for calas once. I found them to be just OK. Kind of like a beignet with rice inside, as I recall.
I regret never having made it to the Calas Grill out in Kenner before they closed.
re: kukubura
Nope. Don't need to change a thing. If they keep churning out good beignets and good cafe au lait, they don't need to do anything else. Would it be nice? Sure, but I don't know many people that have problems with it now and renovation would be next to impossible (and the city has bigger fish to fry anyway).
If just looking to experience to food and not the place itself, is there a difference between the original and Bourbon St location? I'll be visiting and my hotel is right near the Bourbon St location, so for a quick beignet and coffee, it would be much more convenient (however not worth it if its not the same).
re: Corporate_40
There is no Bourbon Street location, unless that is something new.
re: roro1831
There are a bunch of stores that sell CDM canned coffee and beignet mix and hang a little sign out front with the official CDM font on it, so I can see how that can cause confusion. There's also some sort of cafe on Bourbon in a courtyard with a jazz statue in it. Not sure if that's what the poster meant and if they are presenting themselves as CDM-related. And finally Cafe Beignet is certainly making money off the tourists seeing it and saying "Honey, isn't that that Cafe whatever that everyone was telling us to try? Let's go in!"
But just go to the original. It's a funny and wacky experience. I even got service with a smile the last time I was there!
re: kukubura
Yea, I just did a Google maps seach and got a bunch of other locations. Realized my mistake afterwards. But you're right, I'll just take the extra time and go to the original.
I personally like New Orleans the way it is, I like the chipped paint that reveals the 30 coats of paint from previous decades beneath it, and the buckled sidewalks from the roots of live oaks, and even the stale beer and vomit smell from certain parts of the FQ. It's glaring history and wear is it's beauty for me.
I like the French Quarter dirty, decadent, and not worried about stuff like rotted wood and filthy cement pillars. To change any of it so that tourists have a more comfortable place to pee would be a sacrilege and make it like any other city; sterile with no soul, and even worse than that, run by corporate America. Imagine a nice clean Starbucks sitting across from Jackson Square:
"I'lll take a half/caf Cafe au Lait Frappucino please, and a splenda powdered glucose free Beignet scone"
Yikes. George Orwell could not write a bleaker future for my money.
The minute anything is renovated in my beautiful New Orleans...ie, "cutesy" new gas lamps, "cutesy "pastel painted walls, fake floors to imitate the old, new modern bathrooms...is when I NEVER go back! The French Quarter is a place for people who get the history and live for sitting in the back rooms of the Napoleon house...or start running towards Felix's when the line for the oyster bar is down!! dirty bathroom or not...if you want things that are new, but "feel kinda' old" ..Disney World has a place called "it's a small small world" ride..it has some fake New Orleans food and really clean bathrooms..
Places on my "You broke my heart by your bad renovation job".. So far..

Sal and Judy's 2nd Prize

You're right, jfood understands they are knocking down Paris and London as well, and man that old Jerusalem, wow is that run down. Maybe they should get one of those little train thingy they have in some sushi bars so the beignets come to you.
That place is history, that place is one of the fabrics of one of the great cities in the US. You want a clean CDM, maybe Epcot can build it.
Heck, jfood would eat the beignets and a great cup of coffee there any time.
Next time actually buy something there to enjoy the place, listen to the live music on the street watch the people go by, smile at the crazy servers. Don;t judge a place by the bathrooms. C'mon.

We always enjoy our time there.Special Features:
- Was not our best experienceSabsniteoutDined on 9/27/2014We have eaten at the Steak House on numerous occasions. I am afraid to say that this was not the best meal we have had there. The changes to the appetizer menu are less than appealing. The cheese tray was good. What happened to the clams? They were always delicious. The potatoes and vegetables were undercooked and hard so they were not very flavorful. Steaks were tender but overcooked on all 3. The service was great as always.Special Features:
- Still the Best!2newbiesVIPDined on 9/21/2014Whenever friends come to town, Tamarack Junction comes to mind first! The bar is a great first stop and then on to the dining room. The tables are elegant and the wait staff very attentive. From the appetizers to the entrees and lastly, dessert...what a treat! Great to see a restaurant that offers soup or salad with each entree. Our group enjoyed steak diane, chicken piccata, fresh halibut and lamb chops. Everything was perfectly prepared and served simultaneously. The last jewel in the crown was the preparation of Cafe Diablo at the end of the meal...a flaming perfection of an after-dinner drink; don't miss it!Special Features:

The service is great and the food is always well prepared and very fine. I finally tried the beef carpaccio and it was lovely, though a bit of mustard drizzled on it would have spiced it up a bit. The Caesar salad prepared table side by the Executive Chef, Frank Gibson is always a winner. We all had the rib eye special with blue cheese and roasted garlic and they were heavenly! Our kitchen tour was fun and informative. We will certainly return!Special Features:

- Hidden GemYmcleanDined on 8/30/2014The Tamarack's Steak House is a hidden gem! Once seated you wouldn't know you're in a casino. The tables and booths are seated far enough apart to have private conversations.

- Our visit on August 3, 2014JoseyDined on 8/3/2014Our meal was over priced, supposed to be a special, really no cheaper than the regular menu items. Potatoes were dry, needed gravy. Meal should have been closer to $20.00.Special Features:
- Great Restaurant in South Renolawrence33Dined on 8/2/2014We had an enjoyable dinner at the Tamarack Junction Steak House last Saturday. ( Our 4th visit to the restaurant.) The prime rib dinners were prepared to perfection! Our niece loved her halibut and I enjoyed the Chilean Sea Bass. Will return again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Choice Is The KeyRudeHoneyDined on 7/31/2014A steakhouse that charges for what is supposed to be first rate is not. They talk about aging for 29 days (why not 30).A broiler at 1,400 degrees "Oh boy". But, if you don't start with a prime cut of beef and you use choice steaks, than the meal will not be prime. My char broiled steak barely had a sear on it. The filet was dry and tasteless.
- The following 387 reviews are from the Tamarack Junction Steak House reviews archive.
- Memorable AnniversaryjavajennyDined on 7/28/2014Great experience on our wedding anniversary! Excellent bisque and sea bass. Very professional service. We are not big gamblers, but after dinner, a few slots paid for our dinner. Great night!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/28/2014Went here with a group of first time diners at Tamarack junction Steak house. I usually hesitate dining in a casino. I was thrilled with this restaurant because not only being 50 feet from the casino entrance, it is completely closed off from the casino so you don't get the smoke migrating into the restaurant. That being said, the casino is new enough that they have a better than most filtration system so even their casino floors aren't overwhelming with smoke. I will be back.Special Features:
- Fair, not good nor excellent.RenoJJDined on 7/25/2014The staff was initially attentive and polite, main courses were ready at different times - two of the served main dishes had cooled to lukewarm and this is not good for a porterhouse steak. Table side caesar salad was excellent. Bananas foster excellent. Lukewarm main meal poor. Then when finished, after bill and strong tip they apparently needed to flip the table and asked us to leave or move to their lounge. Not a good plan. I'll give them another chance this year but was not impressed.Special Features:
- Great Service, Good Foodsandela11Dined on 7/24/2014The wait staff is very helpful and accommodating. We had a 15 month old child in our party. They went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. We all had steak. Be aware, if you request medium well, you will get medium to medium rare. The scallop potatoes were so good!!! It is a bit pricey.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ladies night outchowhoundDined on 7/24/2014My friends and I had a wonderful ladies' get together at the Steak House. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food was fabulous. The atmosphere was perfect. Can't wait to do it again!Special Features:

Celtic Autoharp Book/CD Set. (35 Celtic tunes arranged for all standard Autoharps using notation and tablature). By Karen Mueller. For Autoharp/Chromaharp. Solos. Celtic/Irish. Multiple Levels. Book/CD Set. 56 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.95529BCD). ISBN 9780786608539. Celtic/Irish. 8.5x11 inches. This collection of 35 Celtic tunes represents ten different performance styles from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. The majority of these pieces are dance tunes such as the jigs and reels popular at Irish sessions, the informal gatherings of musicians in pubs, community halls, and homes. Although relatively new to the session ensemble, the autoharp bears a distinct resemblance to the Irish folk harp. Fittingly, this collection includes harp tunes by famed Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan as well as other slow airs. All of the pieces in this book have been arranged to be played on any standard 15 or 21-bar chromatic autoharp in either melodic or rhythmic (backup) style. A melody line with suggested chord accompaniment is included so other instrumentalists can easily join in. The book's companion CD includes performances of all 35 selections, ably illustrating the rhythmic and stylistic nuances of this engaging music. In notation and tablature.

Robin Bullock - Acoustic Guitar Artistry DVD by Robin Bullock. For Guitar (Flatpicking & Fingerpicking). Concert/Documentary. Guitar Masters Live. Celtic/Irish. DVD. Duration 55 minutes. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.97258DVD). Celtic acoustic guitar and cittern wizard Robin Bullock takes the vibrating string to astonishing places with four of his own compositions, artful arrangements of another five traditional Celtic tunes, and tunes by Norman Blake and Dougie MacLean. From high-octane performances on Spider; Maho Snaps; Matelot Jig; and Old Brown Case to the extraordinarily moving and trancelike tune Between Earth & Sky(original title piece of his CD), the slow Irish air For Ireland I'd Not Tell Her Name; and Tiger Baby's Lullaby; Robin displays the fingerpicking and flatpicking styles that, combined with his composing and multi-instrumental skills, have earned his reputation with such renown Celtic and world-music groups as Helicon, Billboard's "world music" TOP 10 artist John Whelan's new Celtic band, and Riverdance guest artists Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble. An extraordinary composer, Robin also varies tunings using standard tuning on only two pieces; he fingerpicks seven of the tunes, and uses flatpick technique on Old Brown Case and the three cittern (Irish bazouki) pieces: his original The Iraqi Road to Dublin and Irish traditional tunes Maho Snaps and The Dawn/Miss Monahan. Completing the 11 pieces on this video are: Dougie MacLean's Farewell to Craigie Duh, Turlough O'Carolan's Sir Charles Coote; Captain Higgins; and Rigler's March; Rex's Ramble; another one of his own. Find out why everyone who hears Robin Bullock is entranced by his masterful musical versatility, his humorous approach to life, and the music that runs through his head.

Immigration as a Justice Issue:
Rally at General Conference Call for Humane Policies
by Andrew J. Schleicher*
Fort Worth, TX, April 25, 2008 -- A call for justice and humane treatment of migrants was issued on the first full days of the 2008 legislating General Conference of The United Methodist Church, meeting in Fort Worth, Texas.
A rally outside the Fort Worth convention center brought together church leaders, immigrants, natives peoples, supporters of fair immigration laws, and a large press contingent. Three hundred people were welcomed by a youth choir from First Tongan United Methodist Church in Waimanalo, Hawaii.
"We are a church of immigrants," said Bishop Minerva Carcaño of Phoenix, chair of the United Methodist Task Force on Immigration, which sponsored the rally. "We pray for those who suffer."
Eleven speakers commented briefly on the global and national issues that immigration raises today. "We are here to express not our views on a particular topic as much as our concern for the people, for immigrants to our country and to other countries," said Bishop Timothy Whitaker of Florida.
Migration Is a Justice and Theological Issue
"Migration is a justice issue," declared Bishop John Innis of Liberia. "Migration is a theological issue."
Speaker after speaker underscored those themes. They strongly linked the issues of immigration, civil rights, and human rights.
Fifteen bishops, five heads of church agencies, and the leaders of six ethnic/racial caucuses stood on a makeshift stage in solidarity with the speakers. While the context was global migration, emphasis was also placed on the current immigration debate in the United States and on proposed federal law widely considered unjust by religious groups.
Alvin Deer, a member of the Kiowa Nation, said he feels conflicted about immigration because of his experience. Native Americans were forced off their traditional lands. Yet he also recalled the hospitality of Native Americans toward newcomers. "The pilgrims couldn't have survived the first winter without the hospitality of the Native Americans in New England," Deer said.
Deer added, "If we shut off our borders, we are shutting off our own people." The Mohawk people are in both New York and Ontario, and other nations of native peoples cross the Arizona-Mexico border.
God Created All People of One Blood
The United Methodist Task Force on Immigration was authorized by the General Conference of 2000 and is composed of representatives of the denomination's general agencies and a range of United Methodist ethnic and racial organizations. Over the past year, the task force has developed two comprehensive resolutions scheduled to come before the 2008 General Conference, one dealing with global migration and the other with US immigration policy.
The Rev. Tyrone Gordon, senior pastor of St. Luke "Community" United Methodist Church in Dallas, said that God created all people of one blood. "In effect this nation [the US] is a nation of immigrants," Gordon said. "Some came on cruise ships; some came on immigrant ships; some came on slave ships. But we are all in the same boat now."
"As an immigrant community and as a people of faith, we will not be divided," said the Rev. Kelvin Sauls, a South African immigrant and staff member of the General Board of Discipleship. "The immigrant-rights struggle is part of the ongoing and unfinished agenda of the civil rights struggle."
Racism Reflected in Current Immigration Legislation
Indeed, racism is behind the attitudes of current immigration legislation, said Bishop Whitaker. The Rev. Mark Nakagawa, chair of the National Federation of Asian American United Methodists and a pastor in Los Angeles, echoed this when he said, "I guess they are not worried about the northern border, just the south." He was referring to a wall being erected along the border with Mexico.
Kyunga Za Yim, president of the Women's Division, spoke about her background as a Korean American and of United Methodist Women's welcoming efforts. "I, too, am an American," she said, "even though my face is the face of a stranger." She said that Alma Mathews provided a home for immigrant women in New York City in 1890. Immigration continues today as a priority for women in the church.
Monalisa Tuitahi, an immigration attorney and leader of the Pacific Islander National Caucus of United Methodists, called current immigration laws "hateful." She said she struggles with what to tell her clients when the law is against them.
Tears rose in the eyes of the Rev. David Martinez, pastor of El Buen Samaritino United Methodist Church in Fort Worth, as he read letters written by undocumented immigrants. Martinez himself is an immigrant from Guatemala. He spoke of the fact that people come to the United States looking for esperanza, or hope. The theme of the General Conference is "A Future with Hope."
One letter told of a person who came to the US as a boy, worked in the fields, and finished high school. While he worries about his post-high school life, he gives thanks to God for those obstacles he has overcome. Nevertheless, he is still undocumented: "And it haunts me wherever I go."
The Rev. Bill Medford, a staff member of the General Board of Church and Society, challenged rally-goers to reach for their cell phones and call members of the US Congress to oppose the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement, or SAVE Act, H.R. 4088, which would require strict enforcement of immigration laws considered unjust under the standards of United Methodism's social theology. There were people on hand to help callers identify their representatives.
"What are we waiting for?" said Bishop Carcaño in reference to a line recently spoken in the convention hall by young people addressing some 990 General Conference delegates. Callers were in turn encouraged to telephone someone else from their congregation, urging them to also contact members of Congress.
The rally is one of two public events dealing with immigration schedules in the early hours of the nine-day General Conference. An April 25 press conference is to focus on ways in which congregations in the US can serve the needs of immigrants.

BP's $17 Million Rock Pile Repairs Island Sliced in Two by KatrinaNovember 11, 2014 8:41 am | by Associated Press | News | Comments
Katrina swamped Alabama's narrow Dauphin Island in 2005, creating a pass that grew from a few dozen feet to about 1.5 miles wide by the time the oil spill occurred in 2010. The cut left more than 7 miles of pristine beach inaccessible by foot on the island's uninhabited western end. But then BP's Macondo well blew off the coast of Louisiana and spewed oil — and cash — into the Gulf region.
