text: UK Government Minister: I Had More Death Threats From The Greens Than IRA Terrorists Print article Send a Tip by James Delingpole 20 Jul 2014 post a comment Former UK Environment Secretary Owen Paterson - recently sacked in Prime Minister David Cameron's reshuffle - said today that he received more death threats from green activists than ever he did from Republican and Loyalist terrorists during his stint as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland posting is considered one of the more dangerous jobs in British politics, which is why the incumbent - unlike with most cabinet positions - is automatically given 24-hour armed protection. But according to Paterson, his stint as Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs was much more perilous. I soon realised that the greens and their industrial and bureaucratic allies are used to getting things their own way. I received more death threats in a few months at Defra than I ever did as secretary of state for Northern Ireland. My home address was circulated worldwide with an incitement to trash it; I was burnt in effigy by Greenpeace as I was recovering from an operation to save my eyesight. But I did not set out to be popular with lobbyists and I never forgot that they were not the people I was elected to serve. Paterson claimed that his address was circulated amongst Green groups with an "incitement to trash it". He also claimed to have been "burnt in effigy by Greenpeace as I was recovering from an operation to save my eyesight". Actions that would have led to arrests had he still been Northern Ireland Secretary. The former Environment Secretary's central claim was that Green lobby had attacked him for supporting growth in the rural economy. He said that groups like Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace existed merely "to enhance their own income streams and influence by myth making and lobbying". Paterson claimed his aim as boss of DEFRA was to improve the "environment and the rural economy" but that these two bodies did not believe in those aims. He also said he was proud about how delighted they had been by his downfall, because it proved they were little more than "anti-capitalist agitprop groups". Since his departure it has been announced that Paterson will deliver the prestigious Annual Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) Lecture in October. The GWPF has set out to debunk many of the myths propagated by what Paterson calls the "Green Blob". He is widely expected to launch a stinging attack on groups like Friends of the Earth now he is no-longer shackled by his ministerial straight jacket. In his article Paterson claimed that it was the Prime Minister's right to choose his ministerial line up, but behind the scenes he understood to be deeply unhappy at his removal from office. As previously reported on Breitbart London colleagues in the House of Commons have reported that he was furious with David Cameron and was no shrinking violet when he discussed the whole thing with the Prime Minister.

Guestbook comments from the manager
Dear Chrissy:
My family really enjoyed our time at your town home in Ho'Olei. It was exactly as we hoped it would be and did not disappoint in any way. Tasteful, spacious, comfortable, with all the amenities. What was not to like? It was so nice to have all that space to spread out. The beds in particular were very comfortable and we all slept so well. We made quite a few meals and found the kitchen to be very well equipped. I like to cook, so that was important to me. I must say, everything was convenient and well thought out. You have obviously paid great attention to detail and quality from the pick-nick basket to the high end beach chairs and umbrella, etcetera.
As you promised, it was a nice and easy 10-15 minute stroll to the beach or a two minute drive. The shops at Wailea were also an easy and pleasant walk. Maybe too close for those of us with little self- discipline!
We really appreciated being met by a member of your staff (Eric) who showed us around and was also available via text or phone when required (only once as it turned out regarding the A/C - issue was resolved without delay once we properly closed the doors to the lanai).
The overall location in Wailea was also a good choice for us. It was quiet and restful, but also close to many good restaurants. That said, it was a relatively short drive to Lahaina or the airport.
If it isn't already patently clear based on my comments thus far, I highly recommend your town home as a vacation rental. We particularly loved being so close to the pool and the fitness centre. Your other properties also look intriguing. If our experience at Ho'Olei is any indication, I would have full confidence in renting any of your other properties.
Best regards,
(Date of stay: January 2013)

"Welcome to 2010!" said a sign I recently saw. As I glanced at it, something registered in my mind. We have entered the next decade of the "new millennium." It is amazing how time doesn't merely fly, but seems to rocket past. That moment caused me to reflect upon the past 10 years and consider what was and was not accomplished.

So often these days we hear about teamwork and partnership. God said in Genesis that it is not good for man to be alone. In Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, we find some reasons for this. "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."

One definition of legacy is something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past, according to Webster's Dictionary.
We live in a world that is fueled by agendas. Man, by nature, tends to look out for himself. Occasionally, (it is one of the rarest occurrences) you come across a person who's only true agenda is the success and betterment of those to whom he or she is related. There is a person who is never quite understood. There is a person who is often rejected on the basis of trust. A pure heart often leads the bearer to be alone, even among thousands.

KNOXVILLE — Former Tennessee forward Wayne Chism will decline the Sacramento Kings' invitation to fall training camp and sign with a pro team in Turkey. Jared Karnes, a Knoxville attorney who represents Chism, said the situation with the Kings has changed since Chism's successful summer league run with the team. "The Kings signed veteran NBA swingman Antoine Wright and Pooh Jeter (on Friday)," Karnes said. "Before those signings, Wayne was strongly considering taking advantage of the Kings' open roster spots." Chism's six-figure deal with Antalya of the Turkish Basketball League is guaranteed. The Kings had offered him some money to compete in their training camp, but not a significant amount and a roster spot was not guaranteed. Chism will leave for Turkey in mid-August. "He is expected to make an immediate impact," Karnes said. "The NBA is still a goal."
* MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia coach Bob Huggins is expected to make a full recovery after being hospitalized for broken ribs during a Las Vegas recruiting trip. Athletic director Oliver Luck said Huggins fell in his hotel room Friday night and broke four ribs. He was taken to the hospital and held overnight for observation. Luck said he spoke with associate head coach Larry Harrison, who was with Huggins on the trip. Huggins was expected to be released Saturday.
Auto Racing
* HOCKENHEIM, Germany — Sebastian Vettel of Germany edged Fernando Alonso on Saturday to take the pole position in his home Formula One Grand Prix. Vettel's Red Bull was .002 second faster than Alonso's Ferrari in qualifying to give the German his sixth pole of the season — and his third straight. Felipe Massa of Brazil in the second Ferrari was third and Mark Webber of Australia was fourth in another Red Bull to complete the two front rows for today's German Grand Prix.
* EDMONTON, Alberta — The IRL placed struggling driver Milka Duno on probation for the rest of the year for failing to consistently meet minimal performance standards. Series officials said Duno needs to show "immediate and substantial improvement to her driving" by the end of the season. Officials cited her inability to be competitive and her on-track decision making as reasons for the decision. The 38-year-old Venezuelan driver has been pulled by track officials from two races this year, including last week in Toronto, for driving so slowly she was deemed a hazard.
* RALEIGH, N.C. — Kaye Cowher, the wife of ex-Steelers coach Bill Cowher and a former basketball player at North Carolina State and in the now-defunct Women's Professional Basketball League, died of skin cancer. She was 54. Cowher died Friday in her native North Carolina, where the family relocated at her urging during Cowher's final year as coach in 2006, one season after the Steelers won the Super Bowl. The family had lived since in Raleigh. "Kaye was such a loving and compassionate person and she was the foundation of our family," Bill Cowher, now an NFL analyst with CBS, said in a statement released Saturday. "Kaye was always at my side throughout my career as a player, coach, NFL analyst and, most importantly, as a parent to our three daughters." The Cowhers met at North Carolina State, where Bill played linebacker before beginning an NFL career. They married in 1981, after the former Kaye Young played alongside twin sister Faye in college and during a three-season pro basketball career.
* OKLAHOMA CITY — Jessica Mendoza doubled twice and drove in four runs, former Tennessee star Monica Abbott threw a one-hitter and the U.S. beat rival Japan 8-0 Saturday night at the World Cup of Softball. The Americans (4-0) have yet to allow a run or an extra-base hit in four victories at the World Cup, yielding only nine singles in 26 innings. Natasha Watley had an RBI single and scored three times and Kaitlin Cochran homered for the third time in as many days to end the game after six innings because of the mercy rule. Jennie Finch, playing in her final international tournament, also drove in a run. Japan (2-2) has been the Americans' top rival in recent years, beating the U.S. in the gold-medal game in the 2008 Olympics.

Manila trip report
- CookieEater Feb 13, 2009 04:09 PM
I am planning to post about a few of the good things I ate in Manila, since I had tried to find such info on Chowhound earlier and there really wasn't a lot. I hope this info can help someone out in the future.
I didn't go any place really pricey, with a sprawling group of 11, it was just easier to stick to smaller places. Plus who wants to spend $35+ for a meal when you can get something tasty for $3-4? I'm sure Aristocrats, Lolo Dads, all those places are good, but I want to provide info for the less-wealthy readers like me. We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel in Makati (got an unbelievable deal), so we ate mainly in that area.
Salcedo Market - First of all, people recommended the Saturday morning Salcedo Market and wow, was that a great find! We had to ask around a lot before finding someone who knew where it was. But the search was worth it. It's like a small farmers market but with all-Filipino food. I wish I hadn't been stuffed from breakfast because there was a big hot-food section selling all kinds of freshly-grilled meats and seafood. My nephew bought lychee sorbet for like 50 cents from this woman making it fresh in a metal canister set in ice in a big wooden bucket, and he said it was awesome. There are all kinds of fun fruits and grilled whole cow/pig to look at. I bought tasty butter cake from Vargas Bakery to bring home and my family loved browsing.
I'll add more later... !
Thanks for the report.
However, the last time that we spent greater than $4 per person at Aristocrats was, well, NEVER. It's always a great place for those of us that reminisce the Manila taste, and btw their chicken bbq with rice and atsara have always terrific and I don't recall it costing much more than $4 or $5. Since it's been a while since we've visited, how much is this dish at Aristocrats nowadays?
Please do share your Manila dining experiences. BTW, I loved Lolo Dad's, too (Ariel Manuel must be one of the most talented chefs in Manila, IMO). It's been a while I was in Manila, and I heard that Fernando Aracama has closed Uva (pity!), but Pepato at Greenbelt 2, Ayala Ctr, and Sentro 1771 in Greenbelt 3 have filled the niche there somewhat.
I'm planning a trip there later this year (attending a wedding), and had gotten some recs to try - but mainly restaurants like Abe (Bonifacio City, Taguig), Cafe Via Mare (Greenbelt 1, Paseo de Roxas, Makati), Chef Laudico Bistro and La Cocina de Tita Moning. Would really be interested to find out more about cheap eats, e.g. foodcourt options, markets, etc.
re: klyeoh
If you find the right mall, I was really surprised by the quality of the food courts. There are some that only have junk food like here in the US, but Greenbelt had more than decent food.
Someone gave me the impression that Aristocrats was expensive, I don't remember where I read that.
Anyway, I was pleased to find that a great place for food was right across the street from our hotel in the Greenbelt shopping center. With a group our size, it was best to have someplace close at hand whenever the kids got hungry. There were a variety of restaurants in all the Greenbelt buildings, but I would stick with the Filipino food. We went to some Italian place once and though still cheap, had an unpleasantly heavy hand with the fatty sauces.
There's a second-floor area, I think in Greenbelt 3, that had a row of cheap restaurants that I found mentioned on the Market Manila website. I liked Recipes and Bola. Filipino casual cafe-type places in a modern, hip setting and most dishes were $3-5. At Bola, I was in the mood for comfort food and had corned beef and egg over garlic rice.
At Recipes, they had something weird called Adobo Flakes. I had no idea what it was, so I ordered it of course. Bits of pork and chicken adobo chopped up into tiny pieces, then somehow breaded in panko and deep-fried. It was pretty salty and the crumbs all break apart in your mouth. Kind of unpleasant, until you wise up and mix it with the over-easy egg and garlic rice (I sure ate a lot of garlic rice in Philippines). Total comfort food. I wish I could find it in the US!
The crispy tilapia at Recipes was also good. My brother did not like the Korean shortribs. Again, it's best to stick to Filipino food since that's what they do best. Servings were not US-size, but a normal serving size.
In Greenbelt (4?) we also went to Masas. The food was a bit more expensive. Good, but nothing out of this world. I was also disappointed because I wanted to try their halo-halo because it had the most impressive-sounding list of ingredients, but apparently they were out.
In Intramuros, we all really enjoyed the meal at Ilustrado's Cafe (not the restaurant). A great air-conditioned place to relax after tromping around on a tour of the Intramuros sights all morning. I don't know an address, but it's next to the souvenir store Silahis.
Pretty generous servings of sandwiches, pasta, pancit, rice dishes, soup, etc. My family members were all really happy with what they ordered and they even accommodated my nephews' special pasta orders. Ilustrado is also the place that serves the famous sampaguita ice cream (jasmine). My family liked it, though I don't care for flower-flavored foods. Again, everything was about $4 each. The coffee was also really good and they give you one of those big trays with cream and all the different kinds of sugars. I'm a sucker for that stuff.
just a quick addition to the Saturday morning Salcedo Market find, there's a similar Sunday morning market in Legaspi Village. same concept but handy if you find yourself in Makati on a Sunday morning rather than a Saturday. parking is much better too.
Did you find anywhere good to eat tocino and longganisa?
And some good old-style ensaimada?
I'm heading there next month, and I'm looking for comfort food!
re: prasantrin
What distinguishes old-style ensaimada?
re: CookieEater
Less spongey airy than a lot of the new versions. More break-like, less cake-like.
Pan de sal is different, too. The old style was more like a Spanish or Portuguese hard roll that was a little salty (hence the name). But over time it developed into an eggy buttery sweet thing. Good, but not the same thing, and when I found an old recipe for pan de sal and made it for the first time, my lola was in heaven.
re: prasantrin
Hi, prasantrin, it's nice to see that there are people who appreciate the difference. Too many commercial bakeries seem to think that adding more air and sugar to everything is the way to go. While that may work with souffles, it's a bad idea for traditional breads.
Will you have time to go to the Salcedo Saturday morning market in Mankati? If you do, you'll find two of the best enseimada in Manila, from the Mina and Pamangan stands. Go for brundh, and go hungry--you'll find regiional comfort food like mangrove crabs cooked in coconut milk, lechon, chicken inasal, and kesong puti (fresh buffalo milk cheese that will make you forget the best mozzarella) that will make any food lover's trip. But go early--preferably before 9:30 am--if you want to be sure to get the enseimadas and lechon while it's still hot.
re: pilinut
Salcedo Market is definitely on my list, but I'll only have one Saturday in Manila (arriving on Sunday, leaving two weeks later on Saturday), so I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to go. We're taking at least a day-trip to the Pampanga area, and that may be on Saturday. I read somewhere (maybe Market Man's blog?) that there are some bakeries in Pampanga, too, so if I can't get to Salcedo, at least I know I'll get some good food in Pampanga!
But I really want to go! I want some of that kesong puti! My mother's family is from Bacolod, so I've supposedly had good chicken inasal before, but I want some good lechon and crabs, too!
Could you tell me what time the market opens or what time the lechon comes out? We're early risers, so arriving before 9:30 won't be a problem, but we'd like to make sure we get the good stuff! Do you have any specific stalls you prefer (or is there only one stall for lechon, one for crabs, etc)?
re: prasantrin
Unless you have something really special lined up in Pampanga, I'd say the Salcedo Market is more rewarding. Then, again, if you can do both, all the better!
The market officially opens at 8:30, I think, but I know that some people go even earlier. (I've gone at 8:35, only to see other people already departing with market baskets loaded.) Don't eat anything before going over because you'll want all that valuable internal real estate for the stuff at the market. For people like me, whose visits never seem to be long enough to enable me to eat everything I want, the Salcedo Market is ideal because so much of it is there, and is of very good quality. And what I can't eat there, I can often bring back for lunch or dinner. And it's a great place to buy presents to bring back to the U.S., too. I often buy things from couple who sell wooden bowls and platters, and the stall next to them sells some nice cotton kitchen towels from Ilocos, as well as basketry. Then there are the stalls at one corner of the market that sell Vargas' butter cakes, ube and pandan puto (which freeze nicely), and the excellent banana chips in the green and purple packaging--Michelle's is the brand.
I don't buy lechon at the market, though there are at least 2-3 stalls that sell it. I usually get together with a few friends and we special order one and tear it apart in private, in a most unladylike manner. If you want a couple of phone numbers for lechon, let me know. You need to order a day in advance, but many places will deliver. Cost for a 15kg (liveweight) pig, Cebu style, is less than $100, and it will feed 10 people like my friends and me, or 20 normal Filipinos.
You have to get the quesong puti wrapped in banana leaves. Don't bother with the stuff in plastic bags, which is what you find in most supermarkets.
re: pilinut
Thanks again! My flight leaves on Saturday, but it leaves in the afternoon so if I can't make Salcedo the weekend before, I can go for breakfast, then head to the airport! We're also going to the Legaspi Market on my one Sunday there, I hope, just to look around.
I'll let you know about the pig. We're not planning on having any big parties while we're in Manila, but it would be great having our own pig! I could sneak some onto the plane with me, too! (I'm planning on bringing my mini-vacuum pack machine with me :-) ).
re: prasantrin
What is a mini-vacuum pack machine? How big is it? I think I want one to travel with, too! What are you going to use it for, if you don't mind my asking? Quesong puti?
But be warned: you'll have to eat all your leftover lechon or other meat products before you arrive in the U.S. Those sniffer beagles are cute, but they could cost you a LOT of money if you bring in meat you don't declare. (And, if you do declare it, it will probably be ditched before your very eyes.) Fish and other seafood products are okay, though. And there are a couple of places in the Salcedo Market that sell very tasty big, fat, tinapang bangus (smoked milkfish) in vacuum packs. I prefer the large center-cut pieces to the whole fish--no wasted luggage or freezer space. And the bangus is so easy to prepare, too. Just warm it up in a toaster oven or even a microwave and you have the basis of a very nice Filipino meal.
The Legaspi Market is not bad, though the pickings are not nearly as rich as the Salcedo Market. There is a good deal of prepared food, and it's not as crowded as the Saturday market, so it's not a bad place to have Sunday brunch, or to load up on stuff to take home with you. I remember getting some good vinegar over there and lugging it back to California.
Enjoy your trip and eat at least a couple of those beautiful mangoes for me!
re: pilinut
Ugh, bang head, ugh, bang head, ugh, bang head, NUT, don't remind me ... tinapa was one of my favorite foods in the Philippines! There is so much salted fish, and so little smoked! I always bought some and just ate it with hot kanin!
re: Sam Fujisaka
Well, Sam, I always have a couple of nice, big chunks of fatty tinapang bangus in my freezer in the Bay Area. If you ever find your way over here, I shall cook some kanin (Japanese short grain, Thai Jasmine, or--if you're really lucky, and I've just returned from Manila--I may have some Philippine Dinorado) and you shall have some tinapa with a tomato and salted egg salad on the side. Say when.
re: pilinut
Maraming salamat po! I WILL let you know! With gohan!
re: pilinut
I have this one for travelling and small-batch purposes
The bags aren't as thick as Tilia ones, but I figure if I wrap in plastic wrap and/or aluminium foil, then single or double bag vacuum seal, it should be OK.
I'm actually based in Japan, and they can be even stricter here, but for some reason I've never had any kind of problem. I"ve even brought in sweet potatoes, Chinese sausage, and other assorted goodies from Canada, and once brought in a whole salted threadfin from Thailand (that was in my pre-mini-vacuum pack machine days, too). If I get caught, I can always pull the "Oh, I didn't know, I'm a foreigner" routine. It usually works for me--I look so non-descript and non-threatening!
I'll probably use it for some breads (if I can find good ensaimada and pan de sal, I'll freeze them, then vacuum pack to preserve a little longer), whatever meats I can find that I want to bring back (cooked meats, of course), and anything else that strikes my fancy. If I can get quesong puti, I'll probably lightly vacuum pack it (i.e. I won't suck out all the air, just enough for a loose seal), just for the flight back, then unseal it asap.
I might also bring a wine carrier with me (styrofoam thing that I bought at Bev-Mo in California) in case I find anything in a glass bottle. I like buying local honeys when I travel, and those are usually in glass.
Not bringing so many clothes. Need to preserve space for the return for food!
re: prasantrin
Thanks for the link! That vacuum sealer is a neat idea. I'll check it out at Target tomorrow. I'd be tempted to use it for the next box of ube puto and a couple of dozen mango tarts. Hmmmm. . . . maybe a sansrival (alternating layers of cashew meringue and buttercream).
It would be really nice to have some leftover lechon in one's freezer! I hope you can do it with no problems.
For the enseimada, I suggest you bring or buy some kind of box with compartments so you can place the enseimada in your suitcase. (I usually bring back around half a dozen, so placing them in my hand luggage is not an option.) It's a good idea to pack the enseimada with newpaper or bubble wrap to keep them from shaking around and getting squashed.
Aside from the Medina and Pamangan enseimadas at the Saturday market, there's the excellent one from Pasteleria Mallorca which you can order a day in advance. It's every bit as good as the other two, and you won't have to wait until Saturday. It's the proper, old-fashioned kind you mentioned. Their phone numbers: 3732789 / 3732790. You'll have to arrange to pick up your order, though, at 18 Scout Fuentebella in Quezon City. If push comes to shove, there's always good old Hizon's, which is the best of the commercially available enseimada.
Enjoy your trip and all the food!
re: pilinut
I love sansrival, too, but it's easy enough to make (time-consuming, but easy), so I can't reserve some of my piddly 20kg luggage allowance for it. :-(
Do you by chance know where one can get carioca in Manila (or Baguio or Pampanga--those are the other places I'll be visiting this time around). I love carioca, but it's so hard to find nowadays.
Apparently it goes by other names sometimes depending on the area, but it's these things.
re: prasantrin
So you're another burntlumpia fan!
You're right, it's one of those disappearing kakanin (generic name for rice-based snacks--I think) I've had carioca only a couple of times in my life, and the most memorable one was from a tiny place by the road near Calamba, Laguna. Sorry.
You may want to try consoling yourself with the Pichi-pichi (sticky-gelatinous rice dumplings rolled in freshly grated coconut) from Amber restaurant, which also has good Pancit Malabon. Or the Puto Bumbong (steamed purple-rice cakes served with coconut, raw sugar, and cheese) at Via Mare.
re: pilinut
I'll try to check out Amber and Via Mare, but I really really want carioca. There was a Filipino supermarket in Winnipeg that sold them, but the maker who was making them out of her home was shut down, so we can't get them anymore. Darn health department regulations!
I guess I'll try to make them on my own. It doesn't seem that hard, though the syrup in the recipe burntlumpia posted seems different from the one on the carioca I used to buy. Oh well, I'm sure it'll still be good!
(I do read burntlumpia, but mostly Dessert Comes First and Market Manila--especially the former in preparation for my trip! She goes out to eat a lot! And of course 80 Breakfasts, etc. etc. Funny because I didn't eat a lot of Filipino food growing up except during the one year I lived there--my dad is Thai, and my mother doesn't really know how to cook many Filipino dishes--even her adobo is a little odd, but I guess that has made me more interested in learning about Filipino food )
re: prasantrin
Sounds like you're all set! The information on those blogs should keep you running from one delicious meal to the next--only stopping for snacks on the way. Please do post about what you find.
Your background is interesting: growing up in Manila, one of my oldest friends had a Thai mother and Filipino father, and she used to bring an occasional odd dish (e.g., steamed egg), but I never recall having had Thai food at her home. Then again, I was never very interested in Filipino food until I moved away from the Philippines. Now I'm belatedly learning to cook the dishes I grew up taking for granted, and realizing how crucial a link to one's heritage food is.
Good luck and happy dining in the Philippines!
re: prasantrin
i just saw this now, but if you still want to eat carioca, these are readily available in UP Diliman campus. Just go to the Shopping Center (SC) and ask the food stalls there which ones sell carioca. :)
re: happyislandgirl
Thanks! I'll take note for my next visit. :-)
Thanks to pilinut I have a recipe to try to make them at home, too.
re: pilinut
My mom brought home three HUGE bags of bangus. We pretended not to know her on the airplane.
re: CookieEater
Are these something that's allowed to be brought in to the USA by Customs?
re: EGoldberg
You can bring in fish and other seafood, with no problem. I bring in smoked bangus, bottled sardines, bagoong--and declare it. But all meat products are strictly forbidden. One December, I saw Customs confiscating several large, foil-wrapped bundles of what looked like a home-cooked ham, embutido (a type of meatloaf, but much more work), longganiza. . . It had obviously been intended as a big family Christmas feast. Very sad.
re: pilinut
I would have cried if that had happened to me! I almost did cry when my mother willingly gave up a pack of Chinese sausage to Japanese customs officers ("Do you have any meat?" "Yes, I have a pack of Chinese sausage in my purse.") Luckily for me, she had another pack in her check-in bag!
Like pilinut said, fish and seafood are usually OK (though sometimes country of origin plays a factor), but meat AND meat products are forbidden. By meat products, they also mean anything made with meat--that includes things like instant noodle packs which include beef extracts, etc.
Although I have brought meat into the US (usually from Canada, and meat from Canada is mostly OK), it's really not something that should be taken lightly. If caught, at best your stuff will be confiscated, but you could also be fined heavily.
I'm adding on here, so I don't clutter the board with a new topic.
I just got back from two weeks in the Philippines. I had a surprisingly great time (background--I lived in the Philippines for a year when I was 10 and had a miserable time, and I didn't enjoy my last visit there a few years ago, either), but I think food had a lot to do with it.
To keep it short:
lengua at Everybody's Cafe in San Fernando (Pampanga)
bangus belly at Le Chef (Camp John Hay) in Baguio
lechon, duck and chicken liver pate, turon, and dulong at Kalamunda (private house/restaurant) in Tagaytay
gruyere galette at a French stall at Salcedo Market
butterscotch macaron from Bizu
tocino!!! Pampanga's Best is the best!
I did a very small ensaimada taste test. There were only four samples in my test.
From worst to best:
Mary Grace
Tie--Star Cafe (Baguio) and Pamangan/Des Rodriguez-Torres (at Salcedo Market)
The two winners are very different in style, so it's hard for me to rank one above the other. Star Cafe's is like old-style ensaimada. It probably would have been the winner if they had used butter (they use slightly orange margarine) and more sugar. The one from the Pamangan stall is HUGE (the equivalent to 3-4 regular ensaimadas) and expensive (I can't remember now, but I think it was about P180 vs. Star Cafe's P10), and it was very much in the new style, but the bread was more substantial than Hizon's and Mary Grace's (both too airy), and it was sooo moist, even the next day! It had very good flavour, too. I didn't try the Medina family recipe (P195!) because I didn't want to haul it back or spend the money (Salcedo Market was our last stop on the way to the airport), but I now regret not trying it. I'd have like to have compared it with the Pamangan one.
Stuff I brought back--quesong puti (not wrapped in banana leaves--I looked all over the market for that type, but none of the carabao milk places had it), feta-style cheese made from carabao milk, coco jam, coco sugar, muscovado sugar (perhaps even made from my family's sugar cane plantation!), duck and chicken liver pate (soooo delicious, and a bargain compared to Japanese prices), lots of brittles and stuff from Good Shepherd in Baguio, dried mangos, native coffee, tsokolate (tablea). . . I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting. Oh! 2/3 of a huge Betty's sans rival! It was a gift from my mom's old friends, so she and I divided it up, and since she's in the Philippines for two more months and I'm not, I got most of it!
Thanks for all the advice and tips! I used to hate the thought of going to the Philippines, but now I want to go back!
re: prasantrin
Thanks for posting back. I'm so glad you enjoyed your most recent trip. And of course food has a lot to do with it--think of any hot, humid, crowded Southeast Asian capital and imagine how long you'd want to stay if it wasn't for the great food!
I haven't heard of Kalamunda in Tagaytay. How does one make reservations?
Yes, Betty's sansrival is good. I love sansrival, and have tried to bring half of a pistachio one back to the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the meringue did not return to its original crispness, and I'm wondering whether a whole one will survive in better shape. (I guess there's only one way to find out ;-))
Where did you get your tablea? Sweetened or un-? I usually go for the unsweetened as most of the sweetened ones have too much sugar for my taste. Suggestion: pulverize the tablea in a coffee grinder before melting it in water or milk, and double or treble the amount of tablea originally recommended. An immersion blender is also great for whipping up and smoothing out the chocolate.
If you like a denser, less sweet enseimada, you will probably enjoy Medina's better than Des Torres'.
re: pilinut
Kalamunda is a "private function only" place (the owners are the parents of the Executive Chef of Sala, by the way). For any reservation, you need a minimum of 20 people, and you can choose your own menu (they had just done a pasta and salad lunch for a garden club recently--smaller menu than ours and much cheaper, too). I leeched on to a special lechon lunch organized by Our Awesome Planet, and I'd urge you to check out OAP to see all the food and read the recap. It was really an amazing meal. I've got Sylvia's number if you think you can organize a big party (or if you just want to order some of her duck and chicken liver pate--it's really delicious!). Our lunch was expensive by Filipino standards (P1500/person), but it was really a bargain given the amount and quality of food.
Does Betty's use real butter? It seems awfully yellow to me, but the meringue is so crispy and flakey! I cut our sans rival into 12 pieces, then wrapped each piece individually (after putting a parchment paper band around each one) in aluminum foil and froze them. After they were frozen, I vacuum packed them, and carried them back in a thermal bag with some ice packs. The luggage compartment of a plane is usually pretty cold, too, so even though I didn't arrive home until 15 hours after I took them out of the freezer, they were still a little cold and crispy! If you eat the frozen, they'll still be really crispy (and butter tastes better when really cold, anyway).
I heard if you tell them, Betty's will pack your sans rival for shipping. My mom's friend said the last time she went to the US, she brought 6!! all packed in some kind of special container.
I got two kinds of tablea at the "echo store" (a great place for organic, artisinal, and/or small-batch food products) at Serendra Piazza. They're actually gifts, so I won't be trying them. I don't really like any commercial tablea, in part because they're often not stored properly so they're often bloomed or stale. I wanted to get the chocolate from Choco-late de Batirol (in Baguio at Camp John Hay) because it was very very good (the best I tried), but it's sold in heavy glass jars so (and they're about P360!).
I never thought to use an immersion blender! I usually use a whisk or a batirol (mine is Mexican), but an immersion blender would give a lot of nice froth, too.
I really liked Des Torres' ensaimada as a sweet bread, but as an ensaimada it still wasn't what I was looking for. I guess I'll have to go back to Manila to try Medina's. That probably won't be for at least another year, maybe even two! Unless I can find someone willing to drop by the Market just before they come back to Japan. . .
re: prasantrin
Thanks for the info on Kalamunda! Sala is easily my favorite Western restaurant in Manila.
I'm not at all sure that Betty's uses pure butter, but I'd love to find out. I remember seeing a lot of margarine wrappers outside the House of Sylvanas (have you tasted sylvanas?), along with some butter wrappers. Oddly enough, margarine doesn't taste as objectionable to me when I am in Asia. In fact, I can't really taste it in sansrivals and sylvanas, maybe because they're served so cold.
If you got the commercial tableas from Echo Store, one brand is probably Kablon Farms. Not very good. The unsweetened ones in jars are better. But I agree, Echo Store has a lot of cute local stuff that appeals to me. (Of course, my Manila friends find it quite uninteresting!)
Good luck with getting a Medina enseimada!
re: pilinut
Crap! I checked and you're right, one of them is from Kablon Farms. The other doesn't have a brand name, but it's wrapped in some kind of leaf and the label says it's from Sorsogon. Oh well, I'll send them off anyway. I didn't see any in a jar, unfortunately (except the one in Baguio).
We brought my mom's cousin to the echo store (she lives in Manila), and she loved it! She bought a box full of stuff for her daughter-in-law who's more into organic foods and the like.
Sylvanas! We had the best sylvanas at Everybody's Cafe. They were only P12 a piece, less if you bought a box, and they use real butter (I asked before we bought them). I wanted to get sylvanas in Cebu when I was there a few years ago, but we couldn't get to a good bakery (the ones we ended up buying were horrible!). My mother said Cebu is famous for their sylvanas, but unfortunately, we were with non-foodies who didn't care about finding the best sylvanas.
If you ever go to Bacolod, my mother said the Sylvanas at Felicia's are good, but expensive compared to Everybody's Cafe (and she thought EC's were a little better, but just a little). (disclaimer, Felicia's is owned by relatives of ours, but we're pretty objective when it comes to food. If it's crap it's crap, it doesn't matter who made it!)


text: Print article Send a Tip Police: Man Used Sword in Attempted Taco Robbery by Jon David Kahn 10 Dec 2013 SAN ANTONIO - A 28-year-old man was formally charged Friday with aggravated robbery after police say he used a sword in an attempt to procure 6 free tacos from a Bexar County Mexican restaurant. According to an arrest warrant affidavit, a waitress at the restaurant identified Adam Kramer as the man who walked in, ordered six delicious tacos and then refused to pay for them. The affidavit also states that the waitress told detectives that Kramer began pulling a sword in and out of a six-inch sheath when he was told he had to pay for the tacos. Moreover, according to the affidavit, the waitress said at one point during the exchange, the phone rang and Kramer walked outside. She took that opportunity to lock him out of the restaurant where she heard him yelling that if he didn't get his free tacos, "someone would die." But nobody buckled and Kramer left in his truck sans tacos. Police arrested him the following day.

Kitanogomonren – Awaodori at Mitamamatsuri
More photos from the first day of the Mitamamatsuri at Yasukuni Shrine in central Tokyo. The four day event continues until Wednesday so there's still plenty of time to see it all! One of the many performances I always try to catch is the awaodori dance by the local team, Kitanogomonren (北の御門連). Few awaodori performances take place at more beautiful places than among the many lanterns of the Mitamamatsuri.
If you are free tonight or tomorrow from 1800 I recommend going to see the festival for yourself!
Mitamamatsuri at Yasukuni Shrine – Event
Yesterday I rushed through one of my favorite festivals here in Tokyo, the massive Mitamamatsuri at the Yasukuni Shrine. Yesterday was the start of the four day event that goes on until Wednesday. Since it was a Sunday there were more people than I have ever seen at this festival before, but the rest of festival should not be so crowded. If you are in Tokyo today or this week, you really should go!
July Event Mitama Matsuri at Yasukuni Shrine
If you are in Tokyo mid-July you could do worse than to visit the massive Mitama matsuri at Tokyo's famous Yasukuni shrine July 13th to 16th. The Mitama matsuri is most easily explained as a Shinto All Hallows Eve, where the souls of the dead are revered in special ceremonies all over the country. Some shrines though make a bigger event of it, especially those that have been consecrated to enshrine a large number of souls, like the Yasukuni Shrine. The festival is a grand mix of the mitama ceremonies, gorgeous lit lanterns, war remembrance, festival food and drink, traditional performances of everything from taiko drummers to local festivals from far away prefectures.
About 300 000 typically visit during the festival so it is easily one of the most crowded events in Tokyo. There are also opportunities to visit the Yasukuni museum, see the Zero fighter on display and even try some Curry flavored soda, Imperial Navy style!
Getting to Yasukuni is easy since it is conveniently located in the heart of Tokyo. Kudanshita station is the closest, but you can also use Iidabashi (if you prefer JR) or Ichigaya stations (slightly longer to walk).
Ritual Archery – Kyudo at Yasukuni Shrine
More photos of the fabulous archers I saw at the Kyudo ceremony at Yasukuni shrine in the first few days of this year. January was bitterly cold but these steady hands never failed to hit the targets in this form of traditional archery called kyudo or often zen archery in the west. You can read more about the ceremony in my earlier post on the subject here. Enjoy!

|Non-lineage Restricted Molecule
Type 1 glycoprotein
|NK Cell
T Cell
Dendritic Cell
B Lymphocyte
| CD85g is expressed on NK and T cell subsets, monocytes, macrophages, plasmacytoid dendritic cells and B lymphocytes. Expression on plasmacytoid dendritic cells is found to be rapidly down related by IL-3. Expression is detected on eosinophils and neutrophils.
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the immunolgobulin supergene family.
CD85g is a single-pass type-1 glycoprotein. It contains an extracellular domain which contains 4 Ig-like C2-type domains, a transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmic tail lacking ITIMs. The ILT/LIR family is a member within the Ig gene superfamily.
POST-TRANSCRIPTIONAL MODIFICATION: No information.
POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION: No information.
|LIGANDS AND MOLECULES ASSOCIATED WITH CD85g:
Ligand binding leads to activation of eosinophils and to the release of RNASE2, IL-4 and leukotriene.
|CD85g is involved in the activation of NK-mediated cytotoxicity and binds the FcRγ chain. CD85g may act as a receptor for MHC class I antigens.
BIOCHEMICAL ACTIVITY: No information.
DISEASE RELEVANCE AND FUNCTION OF CD85g IN INTACT ANIMAL: No information.
|Previously, the ILT family was clustered together as CD85. Recently subclassifications have been given to individual members listed as CD85a - CD85m. Ig-like transcripts (ITLs) and leukocyte Ig-like transcripts (LIRs) are structurally and functionally related transmembrane glycoproteins. The receptors are divided into 2 groups of inhibitory and activating receptors according to the nature of their transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions. Receptors with a long cytoplasmic tail, CD85a (ILT5/LIR3), CD85c (LIR8), CD85d (ILT4/LIR2), CD85j (ILT2/LIR1) and CD85k (ILT3/LIR5), contain one or more intracytoplasmic ITIMs which recruit and activate protein tyrosine phosphates SHP-1 and/or SHP-2. Receptors with a short tail, CD85b (ILT8), CD85f (ILT11), CD85g (ILT7), CD85h (ILT1/LIR7) and CD85i (LIR6a) lack ITIMs and contain a positively charged aa residue, arginine or lysine, in their transmembrane domain which is necessary for association with ITIM-containing polypeptides like FcRg chain. CD85l (ILT9) and CD85m (ILT10) bind the FcRg chain. Phosphorylated ITAMs recruit the protein tyrosine kinases Syk and ZAP70. One exception to these transmembrane receptors is CD85e (ILT6/LIR4) which has no transmembrane or cytoplasmic domains and is probably soluble.
PROTEINS AND DNA ELEMENTS WHICH REGULATE TRANSCRIPTION OF CD85g: No information.
SUBSTRATES: No information.
ENZYMES WHICH MODIFY CD85g: No information.

Hey baby, Little Steven here with our weekly Underground Garage pop quiz. Who are the coolest Rock n' Roll songwriters that have ever lived? No, not the ones that were artists themselves like the Beatles and the Stones, but those invisible people behind the scenes that continue to write the soundtracks of our lives. Tune in this week to the Underground Garage where we are celebrating five different sets of writers. Joining us will be Blues Magoos, Johnny Rivers, Muddy Waters, the Stones, and the Beatles.
We have a fabulous and important new sponsor. United Association -The Union of Plumbers, Fitters, Welders and Service Technicians. They are fabulous and important because they are supporting veterans and providing them with FREE training in the piping industry. It is called the UA VIP program. Veterans in Piping. Its the unions way of saying thanks to those who have given so much. To learn more click here.
We get a lot of bands asking how they can submit their music for possible airplay on the Underground Garage? So we have decided to streamline and make the submission process as easy as possible. Click here for more info on how to submit your bands music for airplay.
Excellent food, the latest music fashions, inspired hotels, insanely fun casinos, and live music events that will rock your tats off!
