Anyone know and good Chinese food recipes?
- u
- UnrealCaker Jan 20, 2013 10:40 AM
I recently bought a wok and I've been craving to make some of my favorite Chinese dishes like Chicken and Broccoli, pork fried rice, wonton soup, egg/spring rolls. So far I've made General Tso chicken but it didn't seem to taste as good as the kind in restaurants and the sauce was a way to gelatin like. I'm also interested in some good dumpling recipes.
The one thing that concerns is that I have Sherry and some require dry sherry, seeing as they're both liquids, what's the difference?
milk and coffee are both liquids too.
sweet sherry and dry sherry don't taste the same. Chinese recipes generally call for dry sherry.
Starting with the last, there is a large range of sherries. "Dry" sherry usually means manzanilla, the driest, or fino, the next driest. Amantillado is called for in some recipes, but not in Chinese cooking, in my experience. Any other kind of sherry is useless for any cooking I would do. Do not be misled: "Dry Sack" is not a dry sherry, it is merely drier than the dessert sherries.
The best dumpling recipe is in Henry Chung's Hunan Style Chinese Cookbook, now hard-to-find.
Since you are new to Chinese cooking, I recommend you get a copy of Chang and Kutscher's Encyclopedia of Chinese Food and Cooking. It contains hundreds of basic Chinese recipes.
Fuchsia Dunlop has some recipes online that are quite good. Look on Fuchsia's website for Gong Bao Chicken (kung pao chicken). I also like that recipe using beef or shrimp, although I skip the sichuan pepper. She also has a recipe on AARP's website called Cumin Beef. I usually skip the scallions in that recipe and use cilantro instead.
I started with these books plus lots of youtube videos :
Nancy McDermott- Quick and Easy Chinese.
Grace Young- Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge.
Fuchsia Dunlop- Land of Plenty.
Books give good advice on technique, buying ingredients, etc. I'd be lost without cookbooks.
re: dave_c
Very good rec. I'm pretty sure that's where I learned how to make XLB.
A few years ago a friend of mine wanted a simple, basic Chinese cookbook, not much money. He knew I was going to SF and asked me to look. I found one at the Wok Shop. Oops, just searched and can't find the particular one. But I'm sure OP can find something online at least. And, yes, Dunlop and Andrea Nguyen have things on line.
Esteemed poster mamachef gave us all a Chinese cooking lesson awhile back: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8343...
re: GretchenS
I should have clicked your link before posting below Gretchen!! I didn't realize mamachef had posted that FoodNetwork Magazine recipe here. It's really is a good one and for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be on the FN site though a number of bloggers have posted it (no surprise!!) I've photocopied it several times to share w friends and co-workers.
If anyone still has their old FN magazines that recipe is called "11,375 Stir-Fries" and is in the March 2010 edition and I actually think it's on p. 75 as I've made a note in my online recipe file. If you don't have the magazine you can still get an electronic copy on Zinio or, if you Google "11,375 Stir-Fries" you'll find lots of bloggers have shared it and, made a number of great recipes from it.
I'm not much of a fan of the FN magazine now but for whatever reason, that was a good one. It also had a mini cookbook on pizzas inside and that too is good.
Thanks for posting a link to that thread on Chinese Take-out Gretchen, I've saved it to my profile so I can read through it sometime. It was through a similar thread that I found links to some of my favourite websites for Asian recipes.
re: Breadcrumbs
I didn't post it as the FN mag. recipe, Breadcrumbs, which is probably why you missed it. I posted it with some revisions that are a bit more to my taste, but yes; the format is essentially theirs.
re: mamachef
I don't know mamachef, I'm thinking I'd have missed it anyway because I'm finding the search function here on CH to be pernickety since the recent "upgrade"!!
It's great to have it here on CH though...such a great recipe!
ETA: In case folks are interested I'll paste a link to the original here since you've made your revisions mamachef. That's the joy of cooking isn't it!!:
No need to purchase a pricey sherry for Chinese cooking. I've been using "Taylor's Dry Sherry" (around $6/bottle) for decades now, & have made quite a few pretty damn authentic Asian dishes using it. If you want to go authentic, see if you can find Chinese rice wine from a local liquor store, but I've used it, & frankly it doesn't taste all that different from Taylor's Dry Sherry. As for using pricier dry sherries for wok cookery? Don't waste your money. Even if it isn't up to the par of what other's here wouldn't use in "any cooking they would do". ;)
As for getting the exact flavor(s) you want, the secret is practice & experiment. There must be HUNDREDS of recipes for "General Tso's Chicken" - none exactly the same. Just get yourself a few cookbooks from the library, online, or a bookstore & start experimenting. Once you get your sea legs, you'll find yourself adding your own touches & your own flavors. That's what makes cooking - especially stir-fry cooking - so enjoyable.
It may be best to watch the experts. Google stir fry and select videos.
FWIW I reckon that adding rather more garlic and ginger than a recipe calls for is never a bad thing. Also Kikkoman brand soy sauce does it for me.
You would do well to investigate the sites and authors I list below for information, recipes, ingredients and technique of cooking with a wok and Asian cuisine in general. I highly recommend the following:
Grace Young
Wok expert and Chinese cook/teacher par excellence. Two of her books have been COTMs here...
Fuchsia Dunlop
She has been described as 'The best writer in the West… on Chinese food' by the Sunday Telegraph (UK). Chowhounds have cooked 2 of her books as COTM and also from her newest book, "Every Grain of Rice." She's our idol.
Bee Yinn Low
A pan-Asian blog with over website with over 500 easy Asian recipes... also a cookbook just published
Andrea Nguyen
Expert on Vietnamese cuisine and a terrific teacher with an equally great cookbook... which was a COTM
I just went to K-Town to the super market to by some common ingredients used for some of my favorite chinese dishes, I couldn't find Dry Sherry. I noticed that some recipes call for Dark/Light Soy sauce which I couldn't find. Is it ok to just use regular/all purpose soy sauce, since I believe the differences are consistencies and the amount salt a long with color
re: UnrealCaker
You'll be just fine with all purpose for most uses. Just pick up bottles of light and dark when the opportunity arises.
re: UnrealCaker
"Dark" (or black) soy sauce can only be found in an Asian grocery, not in a regular supermarket.
Correction: According to Chang & Kutscher, there are three types — "light," "dark" (with added coloring), and "heavy" (or black).
re: GH1618
It was an Asian grocery store I went to
re: UnrealCaker
Then it wouldn't likely have sherry. There is a Chinese wine similar to sherry, which is why recipes in English usually call for sherry.
re: GH1618
I can find both light and dark soy sauces at my regular grocery stores, and I do not live in an area with an especially high Chinese population at all. In fact, I can find multiple brands of each.
re: UnrealCaker
Any liquor store should have dry sherry. If you can buy wine in grocery stores, it should be there as well.
re: UnrealCaker
The "sherry cooking wine" has salt added so be careful of how much soy sauce you use. I would buy regular dry sherry at a liquor store. Better yet, buy Chinese rice wine at your Asian market to use in your favorite Chinese dishes....
re: UnrealCaker
After your question re: "cooking wine", exactly what type of "rice wine" did you buy & from where?
If you bought "Mirin" from your local supermarket, that's a sweetened rice wine that's used in specific Japanese recipes - none of which you've been talking about.
And honestly - "dry sherry" IS A SUBSTITUTE for a good rice wine - not the other way around. You're obviously very confused here. In fact, you're confusing me.
What exactly is it you want to know?
I think I'm having a meltdown. And over something as simple as dry sherry, no less. Lol!
re: UnrealCaker
It's what sherry is a substitute for. Go for it.
re: Bacardi1
I'm a guy, I also have Rice Vinegar which I think I just wasted money on cause some people say the difference between them isn't very big and you can substitute one another in recipes, I haven't seen any dishes I like that call for mirin so I think I'm good. I don't know what Chili sauce/paste to get since all these recipes call for different national types, I want a Chili sauce/paste that can be used for more than one recipe/dish
re: UnrealCaker
The Chili sauce I like is called Chili Garlic Sauce and is made by Huy Fong Foods. It's actually a Vietnamese sauce, but I use it in Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai dishes which call for Chili sauce. It can be used as a substitute for Siracha sauce, too. It comes in a plastic container with a green lid and has a picture of rooster on the side. The company's website is www.huyfong.com
re: UnrealCaker
If you're cooking Asian foods a lot, rice vinegar is worth having - it's got a milder flavour than white distilled vinegar. Plus, vinegar's not going to expire quickly and doesn't need to be refrigerated, so you can keep it around for a while.
Look for shaoxing rice wine for Chinese cooking (紹興酒) - this is what the original recipe will be calling for.
As far as basic ingredients go, I always have rice wine, soy sauce, white rice vinegar, and sesame oil on hand as absolutely essential, and pick up the various pastes as I need them - it depends on what kind of dishes you want to make.
re: UnrealCaker
Sorry about the gender blunder!!
As others have mentioned, look for the "rooster" brand - aka Huy Fong - as far as Asian chili sauces go. While decades ago one had to get it at strictly Asian markets, these days pretty much every supermarket carries it.
I find that the Chili-Garlic Sauce is the most versatile, although they also make the infamous Sriracha, as well as a chili sauce without garlic. Again, the Chili-Garlic Sauce will give you more bang for your buck as far as cooking versatililty. They used to also make a sambal that contained fried onions instead of the garlic, but I guess that wasn't a top seller & was discontinued. It was kind of nice to add to soups & Indian curries.
re: UnrealCaker
UnrealCaker, the "rice wine" you bought is perfect for Chinese cooking. Dry sherry is only a substitute for rice wine. Rice wine is the ingredient to use. So you did well to buy it.
Also... let me describe the soy sauces you ought to be buying when you get a chance:
1. All-Purpose soy sauce: such as Kikkoman or Pearl River Bridge Light Superior Soy Sauce...
This is also called Light soy sauce. Kikkoman is the Japanese version and Pearl River is Chinese. This is OK to use for everything but the next two soy sauces add a more distinct flavor to whatever it is you are cooking.
2. Dark or black soy sauce: such as Koon Chun Black Soy Sauce...
This has a stronger flavor than others. It is enhanced with molasses, not added coloring. Use it in braises and stews.
3. Sweet soy sauce: such as: ABC Sweet Soy Sauce...
This is called Kecap Manis in Indonesia. Use this for noodles, stews, meats, and stir-fries. Can also be used as a dipping sauce straight from the bottle.
re: UnrealCaker
Re: "Sherry Cooking Wine" or ANY "cooking wine" - the answer is no, No, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!
Good grief - you might as well just add battery acid to your dish. It's horrible stuff that isn't even remotely related to "wine". Want to ruin your dish?? Buy & use disgusting "cooking wines" from your local supermarket.
For heaven's sake - Taylor's dry sherry (or any comparable domestic brand) costs $5-$6 a bottle, & lasts forever in the pantry. PLEASE do not buy "cooking wine" from the supermarket & expect to turn out any meal that's edible.
I think I'm having a meltdown - lol!!!
re: UnrealCaker
The rice wine you need is this stuff:
It's not expensive and lasts quite a while in the fridge after opening. Dry sherry is a pretty good replacement.
I got a wok and a wok burner way back in 1991, and couldn't make any Chinese Food I really liked until I discovered that you have to use ingredients you don't "like" to make it taste authentic. Also, that it is hard to make a Chinese feast (like a restaurant), but you don't have to make the entire meal in the wok. Steamed rice and one stir fry are fine for home cooking.
A book that made it all very easy was Ken Hom's Quick & Easy Chinese Cookery (Chronicle Books, 1990). He has other books as well, and some recipes on the internet, but this book is a great place to start.
I have 2 great posts to point you to:
1. David Rosengarten did a great feature for the HufPost entitled "The Secrets Of Chinese Stir-Frying: Why Does It Always Seem To Go Wrong At Home?" In this he includes step by step instructions, photos, tips etc:
2. Stir Fry Variations: In 2010 the Food Network Magazine did a great feature on Stir-Fry Variations. They gave you recipes for different sauces etc. It's great because you can work with whatever you happen to have on hand and come up w completely different recipes - just veggies, spicy, sweet it has you covered. For the sauces FN did specify Chinese Rice Wine or Dry Sherry. I've used both with good results:
ETA: The FN Feature was entitled: 11,375 Stir-Fries from March 2010 Food Network Magazine
re: UnrealCaker
That is chicken breasts sliced into strips, coated with a batter, and fried. Google: Chicken Fingers...
re: UnrealCaker
Gio provided you with a link to an amazing website up-thread called RASAMALAYSIA. This site has lots of recipes for a wide variety of Asian dishes. I'd encourage you to take a look around there and search for some of your favourites.
The photo you've shared looks like Sweet & Sour Chicken with sauce on the side to me. If that's the case, Rasamalaysia has a recipe here:
The frying technique that David Rosengarten describes and photographs in the link I shared up-thread would work very well for this recipe.
re: Breadcrumbs
I've never had one of Bee Yin Low's recipes fail, ever. If I google a dish, and that website comes up for it, that's the one I'll make.
re: alliegator
Her "Szechuan/Sichuan Roasted Chicken" is absolutely delicious...
I love everything we've cooked from her blog. I'm ordering her new cookbook!
re: alliegator
I did like the rasamalaysia blog but a while back she seemed to start using a lot of ready-made sauces from her sponsors, which put me off a bit. Would be interested in seeing her book though as I like the early recipes.
re: UnrealCaker
That looks like british sweet and sour chicken to me. (Probably the US have the same thing). If you follow any chinese recipe for sweet and sour chicken, you are unlikely to get what you want. They don't taste anything like chinese sweet and sour chicken.
Dunlop's Revolutionary Chinese Cuisine has two recipes for General Tso's chicken. I made the one described as less sweet (Changsha version?) and it was killer. I see that one can find "adapted" versions of this recipe on the internets.
Since you are just beginning to cook Chinese, my suggestion is that you buy the source ingredients that a Chinese cookbook author recommends. This is especially true regarding the sauces (i.e, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoi sin sauce, plum sauce, chili sauce with garlic, and the various vinegars) as the taste can vary widely. For example, Kikkoman soy sauce differs from the Pearl River brand and there are premium brands of oyster sauce that taste better than the 99-cent specials. There are publications (including those available on line) that have pictures of the products recommended and I would start with that.
re: honu2
The only thing out of those I'm missing is dark/light soy sauce, plum sauce, chili sauce. However I don't think I'll be using any of those except the soys (but only to keep myself from using up all the regular soy sauce) since the dishes I like don't seem to use them. The brand of Soy Sauce I bought was Sempoi Jin's which taste just like the soy sauce in the little packets yo get from Chinese restaurants which I like. Last time I had soy sauce I bought store brand from Target and it tasted awful. I don't like the taste of Kikkoman either.
+1 on Quick and Easy Chinese, it is a good starter book. I love Grace Young's books too.
Some dishes are not going to taste like Chinese restaurant food, Some places use premade sauce for General Tso's chicken. It has corn syrup and artificial ingredients; however, once you start cooking some of the other dishes you'll develop an appreciation for fresher and natural ingredients.
You might think about dumping the sherry in favor of a bottle of Shao Xing wine. You can pick it up in ANY Asian market, it's not pricey, and best of all, it's the real thing. I use about a bottle every six weeks, and it's much better than sherry.
As for recipes and cookbooks, Google is your friend! TONS of recipes there. When you're more convinced of what flavors and types of recipes interest you, that's the time to buy cookbooks.
It looks like you may be looking for a cookbook like this. I have no experience with this cookbook, other then seeing it in the bookstore and finding it on amazon.
re: beetlebug
Good call Beetlebug! Diana Kuan has a blog...and many recipes from the book are included:
Here's the Recipes page:
Thanks for all the suggestion guys, I'm going to be making Sesame seed chicken, pork egg/spring rolls, stir fried rice, shanghai noodles, and maybe some potstickers tomorrow.
rasamalaysia seems to be ideal, since looking at some of the recipes there seem to have really positive reviews and I found some new things like Firecracker shrimp that I wanna try out.
re: UnrealCaker
Er, that's a pretty ambitious menu. You might want to start with just one and see how it goes. Especially if you're going to use your wok for the egg rolls and potstickers as well as the stir-fry item. Just a thought.
re: c oliver
I agree. You may want to re-think your menu unless you're just making it for yourself & not for guests.
Even the most ambitious Chinese cookbooks advise that with multiple-course meals, you should have various cooking styles to avoid disaster. As in only one or two stir-fry items, one or two braised items, steamed items, etc., etc. You can't be in all places at all times.
Better to make one or two dishes well, than a large number poorly.
re: c oliver
I agree. I spend a few hours on potstickers, counting shopping.
re: UnrealCaker
That is way too ambitious a menu to start out with since you are familiar with neither the ingredients or the methods and timing is important.
I'm a very inexperienced cook, but I recently bought a copy of 'Easy Chinese Recipes' and have managed to produce several fine meals from it. If you don't want to get the book, she has many recipes on her website:
This ought to keep you and your wok busy for awhile!
I hope you're still interested in Chinese recipes that taste as good as what you get in their restaurants. I've always loved a particular dipping sauce that was served with dumplings. I tasted this same exact sauce in 2 different restaurants. I searched for dumpling sauce recipes all over the internet. I tried them all. No luck. Years went by. I still searched for that recipe. Then one day... I FOUND IT!!! I will share it with you.
In a plastic bowl place:
7 - tablespoons water
1 - tablespoon soy sauce
dash of garlic powder
1/4 - teaspoon molasses
a few drops of vinegar
1/4 - teaspoon powdered beef bouillon (I use 1/4 of a crushed beef bouillon cube)
Heat this (water, soy sauce, etc.) mixture in your microwave till it's hot, then set aside.
In a small pot place:
1 - tablespoon oil
2 - tablespoons sugar
4 - pieces of ginger (peel the ginger, then cut it into 4 thick coin shaped rings)
Over medium heat cook the oil, sugar, ginger mixture till the sugar turns golden brown. You will need to stir this as it cooks. It takes some time for the sugar to start to brown.
When the sugar has browned slightly, add the hot water/soy sauce mixture to the pot. Be careful. It splatters and makes a lot of noise when you add the water. Continue to cook over medium heat and stir. You will feel the sugar on the bottom of the pan, but it will dissolve. Once the sugar has dissolved, let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Now your dipping sauce is ready. It's delicious. On occasions I have had sauce left over and placed it in the refrigerator to use the following day. It does not taste as good the next day. Even warmed up a bit. So I now make a fresh batch each time I have dumplings.
One of my my favourite Chinese food is black pepper beef. You don't really see it in western Chinese restaurants, but i fell in love with it in Beijing. The recipe is one my wife has perfected and it reminds us both of Beijing. I copied the link from her blog, which is found at http://chelseyschinacookingchallenge....
Black Pepper Beef
1 Lb. Beef Tenderloin
Beef Marinade
1 tsp. meat tenderizer
1 tsp. starch
1 Tbsp. egg white
1 Tbsp. cooking wine
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. oil
Black Pepper Sauce
1 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. Chinese black vinegar (can sub. balsamic vinegar
)1 Tbsp. black bean sauce
1 cup beef broth
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. starch
1/2-1 tsp. salt (according to taste)
1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
5 cloves of garlic minced (at least)
2 Tbsp. Chinese cooking wine
1/2 onion cut in cut on angles
1 cup green and red pepper cut on angles
drop of sesame oil
Tenderize the beef (the back of a clever works well for this) and slice thinly against the grain. This is easiest if the beef is slightly frozen. Mix meat tenderizer, starch, egg white, cooking wine, and soy sauce with the beef and let it marinate for 1-2 hours. After it is done marinating mix in the oil. Mix black pepper sauce ingredients and set aside. Heat a saucepan or wok and stir-fry beef pieces until the meat is no longer pink, no longer. Cooking it too long will prevent those tasty beef juices from seeping out and flavoring the overall dish. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil and fry garlic onions and peppers until tender crisp, then add the black pepper and stir-fry until fragrant (a few seconds). Deglase the pan with cooking wine the add beef sauce ingredients. Add the beef with juices back in and stir all together. Finally stir in a drop of sesame oil and turn off the heat. Serve with rice or noodles.
re: maradol
'Youtube' Asking for Chinese food recipes is like asking if anyone has any good French classic recipes. The subjects are so vast they really needs a lot of study.
I've been seriously trying to 'cook' descent regional chinese dishes for decades. IMO the only way anyone truly learns to cook any classic cuisine is to be born to it.
No Caucasian with access to ingredients in Duluth is going to turn out anything close to what the average Chinese is eating in China.
I now have three dishes I would be OK with serving to a visiting Chinese family in my home. One of them is basic 'sticky rice'. Another is egg and tomatoes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRfLN...

Rock Cartwright Brings All-Around GamePosted by on August 16, 2012 – 6:21 PM
Rock Cartwright received a warm welcome – albeit an unexpected one – to the Tony Montana squad last week at Candlestick Park.
As kicker Giorgio Tavecchio teed up the ball for the opening kick-off, the Future song, "Tony Montana" blared over the loud speaker as the coverage unit started swaying and dancing side-to-side. Cartwright had seen the trademark warmup routine on TV last season, but joining the fun was an entirely different experience.
"I think it gets the opposing team frightened a little bit," Cartwright said. "I didn't know they were going to play (the song) in the preseason, but they did. They got me kind of amped up, too. I think it's a good fit."
Special teams is Cartwright's calling card, but he showed another side of himself during last week's preseason victory against the Vikings. The 11-year vet carried the ball eight times for 44 yards and picked up three first downs, with one come coming on a 19-yard run around the left end.
When the 49ers signed Cartwright to a one-year deal this offseason, luring him from the Oakland Raiders across the Bay, they knew they were getting a football player, not just a special-teamer.
"All-around, his game is real solid," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Running the ball, catching it out of the backfield, blocking, special teams. He does it all well."
And it's not just what Cartwright does, it's how he does it.
"Above and beyond, he's a very talented professional," Harbaugh said. "He does everything right; a great role model for all of us. Real tough, tough as nails. Great respect for Rock."
Cartwright's signing may not have garnered the same fanfare as the additions of other free agents like Randy Moss, Brandon Jacobs or Mario Manningham, but his role on the team is just as valuable. His humble and selfless attitude is always on display, as evidenced by his varied roles within the team.
"I love the game of football," Cartwright said. "I know special teams is what I do. Any way I can help the team win – special teams, running back, whatever they need me to do – I'm here to do. Hopefully, I get the opportunity to make the team and hopefully I'll be here."
And for those wondering, Cartwright's formal first name is actually Roderick. But the Conroe, Texas native has an interesting backstory behind the nickname.
"My grandmother gave me the nickname Rock Baby when I was younger because I was kind of clumsy," Cartwright said. "But the older I got, they took the Baby off and started calling me Rock. I didn't grow too much and it kind of stuck."

R. Kelly - Supaman High ft. OJ Da Juiceman
Artist: R. Kelly
Featuring: OJ Da Juiceman
Producer: Willy Will
Album: Untitled
Avg Rating: 2.6 ( 53 votes )
Since R. Kelly got acquitted of these pesky six-year-old child porno charges, he and his label have had plenty of time to brainstorm for his ninth studio album (which, like Nas' most recent release, will remain Untitled). After nearly a year, we have the official Jive-selected lead single, which finds Kells experiencing a Supaman High. Still regarded as an industry heavyweight, the singer had no trouble snagging an increasingly popular guest feature—not T-Pain, Weezy, Akon, Kanye, or even Soulja Boy (woulda made sense) but none other than Gucci Mane's "sidekick rapper." OJ Da Juiceman swoops in to deliver a high-pitched (pun intended) hook, as well as a second verse and a few infectious "ay!" ad-libs. Willy Will's beat should help Supaman High soar to the top of the charts and become the latest in R. Kelly's string of club-ready first singles, (hopefully) paving the way for a slow-jam follow-up (for any Jive. execs reading, may I recommend #1 Fan?).

St. Anderw's Fall Lyrics - Blind Melon
Review The Song (1)
Big stretch and not much sleep
I got a couple of palm trees on each side of my cheek
And it's a bright blue Saturday
And the rummage sells the rubbish to me
But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine
If I could climb these vines
And maybe see what you're seein'
If you were standing on the corner staring straight
Into the eyes of Jesus Christ
One porch, one dog, one cockroach only way to be
I got sewage fruit and it's growing out back from roots
I don't know if they belong to me
But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine
And if I could climb these vines
and maybe see what you're seein'
Sittin' at the edge of this building,
Twenty stories below,
A' twenty stories below
Twenty stories below
Twenty stories below
I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat,
And viewed my life today, but I can tell you
I don't think that I can find easier way
So if I see you walking hand in hand in hand
With a three armed man, you know I'll understand
But you should have been in my shoes yesterday
You should have been in my shoes yesterday

If Loving You Is Wrong. Lyrics
If loving you is wrong, baby
I don't wanna be right(2x)
If bearing the way I feel for you
Is committing a crime
Am I breaking the law
Devoting myself to you?
You are the hope my dreams are built on
The reason for my happiness
You're my everything and so much more
You're the air I breath
My fantasy
~repeat chorus(2x)~
I couldn't see myself without 'cha
What an emptiness I'd feel
A void would be there
In my heart
You're worth the price of any sentence
For what a treasure in you I've found
You're my everything and so much more
You're the air I breathe
My fantasy
~repeat chorus(4x)
I'm holding on
And I won't let go
I love you
Girl, I want you to know
~repeat chorus to fade~

The pilot initiated a takeoff from a turf runway. After the airplane became airborne it drifted to the left over an approximately 2-foot tall area of unmowed vegetation. The left main landing gear entered the top of the vegetation, the pilot "fought it off," and the airplane broke free. He then pushed forward on the control stick to keep from reaching a critical angle of attack and the landing gear reentered the vegetation once again. The pilot broke free for a second time, and began to climb. He then realized that he was approaching trees, but thought that he would be able to climb above them. Moments later the right wing struck the top of a tree, the airplane pivoted to the right and impacted the ground, seriously injuring the pilot and substantially damaging the airplane.

Bibbe Hansen
Bibbe Hansen (born 1952) is a performance artist, musician, and actress.
Hansen's parents were bohemian poet Audrey Ostlin Hansen and Fluxus artist Al Hansen, a participant in the Andy Warhol Factory. Hansen is half Norwegian (from her father's side), a quarter Jewish, and a quarter Swedish.[1] Her stepfather was Jimmy Shapiro. She is the mother of three children, Beck Hansen, Channing Hansen and Rain Whittaker, a musician, artist and poet respectively[citation needed]. Hansen delivered her future daughter-in-law, Marissa Ribisi, and Marissa's twin brother, Giovanni, when they were born.[2]
Acting career[edit]
As a teenager in the mid-1960s, Hansen appeared with Edie Sedgwick in Warhol's film Prison.[3] She also appeared in Warhol's Restaurant, 10 Beautiful Girls, 10 More Beautiful Girls, and one of Warhol's Screen Tests .[3] Her most recent acting appearance was in a 1999 short film, The White to Be Angry.[4]
In 1964, Hansen recorded an album on Laurie Records with Jan Kerouac in a band called The Whippets.[5] From 1990 through 1995, Hansen operated the Troy Café in Los Angeles with her husband, Sean Carrillo, and performed with singer, drag queen, and performance artist Vaginal Davis. She and Davis went on to form the satirical band Black Fag, named after, and poking fun at, the famous punk band Black Flag[6]

The Optimists (Optimistene)
Despite their weekly training sessions the volleyball ladies THE OPTIMISTS (66-98) have not played a match for 30 years. Now this is exactly the plan. But against whom? Rumours say there is a group of handsome Swedish gentlemen across the border. Goro (98) is the Queen of the team with her will power and purple Converse shoes. Laughter is their match strategy.
Many of us fear age. Maybe these ball playing ladies will change our ideas.
The Optimists is a moving, humorous and absorbing documentary film about an extraordinary volleyball team in Hamar town, consisting of ladies between 66 and 98 years of age. Even though the team has been training once a week for 40 years, it has not played a single game the last 30 years. Now they have decided they would finally like to play a game. But who would they play against? Maybe they can find a team of handsome men in the neighbouring village Brumunddal? Or do they have to go to Sweden to find a worthy opponent?
Goro, 98, is the queen of the team. With her willpower, joy of life and pink Converse shoes, she is the incarnation of the team's philosophy of life. But the challenges of old age also affect Goro. Loneliness and yearning often knock on her door. On those occasions, it's imperative to fight her way through the challenges and set new goals for herself.
The film follows her and the team - in everyday life and on the court - from when they decide to play one last game, through their preparations, and until the game finally takes place. - And soon the strategy is clear: Laughter, training, team spirit, crochet flowers, and maybe a few handsome Swedish gentlemen?

Voxtrot singer Ramesh Srivastava has something of a reputation for hopping around in a spastic dance during his band's live shows, and you can't really blame the guy. His band specializes in super-catchy retro pop that channels the melodies of the Smiths and Joy Division into upbeat, swinging indie rock. But the band's '60s pop influences keep them from sounding like anyone else in the flock of '80s new wave revivalists, and even though they're scarf-wearing hipsters, Voxtrot plays catchy, elaborate songs that will please the T-shirt and jeans crowd as much as the necktie and nail polish kids. Their live shows and a new EP, Raised by Wolves, are gaining buzz and packing houses in both New York and their hometown of Austin. Don't miss out.

Psychedelic art is artwork that, in general, is inspired by a psychedelic experience of hallucinogens such as LSD, mushrooms and psilocybin. These substances create an altered state of consciousness which manifests and expresses itself through this genre of art.
Psychologist Humphry Osmond coined the word psychedelic, which means "mind manifesting." Artwork associated with psychedelics began appearing during the 1960's hippy counterculture movement and remains in vogue today.
Creative avenues expanded this style of art through the use of black lights and in turn, enhanced the psychedelic experience. The use of light shows at rock concerts also became part of the psychedelic experience.
Psychedelic artwork eventually became engrained in corporate advertising. Below is an animated commercial by artist Peter Max.
above image is from Psychedelic Bay by artist Brian Exton, thanks!
Psychedelic art, in general, reflected the peace and love movement of the 1960's. Let's take a "trip" through time and relive that energy.

Andy Dirks to undergo back surgery
Published On: Mar 04 2014 06:17:08 PM CST
Detroit Tigers outfielder Andy Dirks will have back surgery and the team expects him to miss about 12 weeks.
The Hutchinson native and former Shocker was set to start in left field for the Tigers in 2014.
"I certainly feel bad for Andy. I think Andy was looking forward to this year, and I've been in his shoes with the exact same surgery," Tiger manager Brad Ausmus said to mlb.com. "It can be a long three months of not playing for your team, and the first three weeks of not being able to do anything at all, it can bring your spirits down."

The Memphis Police Department saw violent crime drop dramatically over a span of five years following the launch of Blue CRUSH, a predictive analytics system using data from cameras and police records to predict future crime.
Big data has traditionally been described by a series of words that begin with the letter 'V': volume, velocity, variety, and veracity.
The newest addition to that list is "value," a term gaining critical importance in times of tough budget constraints and pressure on agencies to better analyze the data they have, said Dante Ricci, director of federal innovation at SAP.
"What agencies should be thinking of is, 'What value could come out of it,' not just creating a big data solution for the sake of big data," Ricci said. "Big data is about the value you get out of it. It's not tough to gauge the outcome (of big data investments) if you understand what the use case is going to be."
Clay Richardson, senior analyst for Forrester Research, said agencies he works with are "trying to connect big data to get more value" by connecting data to operations.
Volume: The size of the amount of data generated that must be analyzed.
Velocity: How quickly data is being produced, received, processed, changed and understood.
Variety: Structured and unstructured data generated by a wide range of sources.
Veracity: The quality and lineage of the data.
Value: The end result or bottom line of a big data initiative.
In essence, Richardson said agencies are seeing success by making big data analytical processes "frictionless," allowing data to be collected, analyzed, disseminated and dispersed to clients or customers with ease.
"A big piece of value is agencies trying to connect the big data to their core processors and operational processes so they can make changes to processes as data chances," Richardson said. "So as more data and information comes in from the government, agencies are able to make quicker changes, and we're definitely seeing that in some agencies."
Data that can be analyzed and dispersed quickly helps an agency's bottom line, Richardson said, and it keeps customers who use the data happy.
"A lot of what agencies want to understand is how data flows, who it goes to, who consumes it, why they need it, and agencies want to find how we infuse more intelligent and smarts in data and make it more consumable across the organization," Richardson added. "Right now, a lot of the data is dumb – it isn't smart in the sense that you're not going to do anything with it other than build reports or a bit of analysis. Customers want more value out of the data."
Some agencies already boast successful big data initiatives despite the relative newness of the technology.
The Internal Revenue Service used big data analytics to fix tax-filing errors in 2012, saving approximately $100 million in erroneous claims. The Department of Defense's global shared service center, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), has saved approximately $4 billion in improper vendor payments since 2008 using a business activity monitoring software tool that continuously monitors several terabytes of Department of Defense transactions.
Dollars and cents are not the only currency for measuring value. Big data initiatives have been undertaken successfully at local and state levels, Ricci said, in some cases saving lives through programs at hospitals or by law enforcement agencies.
Violent crime in Memphis, Tenn., dropped 31 percent from 2006 to 2011 following the launch of Memphis Police Department's Blue CRUSH (Crime Reduction Utilizing Statistical History) pilot program in partnership with the University of Memphis. The predictive analytics tool combined data from surveillance cameras, crime records and numerous other sources and used it to predict crime hotspots and to provide officers with real-time information about suspects and victims.
A study by Nucleus Research showed the city of Memphis spent about $400,000 per year on the initiative, including personnel costs, and calculated a $7 million return on investment, or 860 percent.
"If you're able to save lives because of better data and situational awareness, that's invaluable," Ricci said.

Whether that will translate into lower childhood obesity rates remains to be seen, experts said.
There was also a shift in milk purchasing, which some said could be concerning.
Researchers examined purchases of packaged food and beverages among more than 42,000 households with children ages 2 to 5 years old.
They found that between 2000 and 2011, purchased beverage calories dropped by 51 percent and purchased food calories dropped by 21 percent.
Milk purchases decreased by 40 calories a day per person, soft drink purchases by 27 calories a day and juice drink purchases by 24 calories a day.
In addition, daily purchases of grain-based desserts like cakes and cookies dropped by 24 calories, savory snacks by 17 calories and candy by 13 calories, according to results published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The data came from a consumer panel that asks households to scan and track all packaged goods they buy.
"They do show very large reductions," Tatiana Andreyeva told Reuters Health. "There's no question about the trend. People are buying fewer calories; people are eating fewer calories."
Andreyeva is director of economic initiatives at the Yale University Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity in New Haven, Connecticut, and was not involved in the current study.
She wrote in an article last year that soft drink sales have been declining since 2004.
Though the trend is encouraging, she said, "Some skeptics would say, 'How come we don't see fewer obese people?'"
Some research has suggested a decline in obesity among children ages 2 to 5. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last winter that the obesity rate among preschool children had fallen for the first time in decades (see Reuters Health story of February 26, 2014 here: http://reut.rs/1eKt0kh).
While more than a third of U.S. adults and 17 percent of kids and teens remain obese, the CDC reported that between 2003 and 2012 the obesity rate among 2- to 5-year-olds dropped from 14 percent to eight percent.

Patti Stanger: Engaged to David Krause Probably!by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Millionaire Matchmaker star Patti Stanger is probably engaged to David Krause. They are pretty tight lipped about this but all signs point to yes.
They tried to deny it last week on Good Morning America, claiming the rock on her ring finger is a promise ring. However, the reality star hinted:
"But maybe watch the finale, and you'll see something."
For celebrity gossip source, that's the key indicator.
"Of course Patti's trying to save the news for her show because she wants all the ratings she can get, but they're absolutely engaged," a Radar source says.
"She's teasing the season finale, that's already taped."
"Whatever shows on it has already happened!"
Patti, 51, and David, 44, met on an online dating website nearly one year ago and already live together ... even if she doesn't practice what she preaches.
Not only does she dote on the guy, he's not exactly the kind of great catch that she'd be boasting about to her Bravo clients, from the sounds of it.
According to Radar insiders: "When they travel David just has to show up. Patti's people already have bags packed for him with brand new clothes."
"Patti doesn't just spoil David. He has two teenagers; she bought his daughter her first pair of Louboutins. David and his family are pretty much set now."
"He's a mortgage broker but with the economy flop, work hasn't exactly been booming lately. So his relationship with Patti couldn't have come at a better time."
"Personally, he's kind of broke right now. Patti spoils David by jet-setting with him all over the place on fun trips and pampers him with lavish gifts."
Whatever, it's not like anyone takes her show and its 5% success rate seriously anyway, so maybe going against her own advice is a good thing.
Congratulations you guys!
He is one ugly dude.
Blah blah blah blah.
Patti looks happy, that's all that matters.
What a hypnotic! What a joke also! A "world class matchmaker" and she has to go to a internet dating site to meet someone, give me a break. As for living together, I can't remember how many times she preached against that in some form or another.
Her show has slipped over the years and I guess she needs a "big" announcement to help the falling ratings. If she's third generation matchmaker, why didn't she go to the 2nd for help?
People, just wish her luck and move on. I don't believe even half of what you have written. I also guarantee you he has some money or she would dump him and run. She hasn't had bad luck dating, she could find another.
First off I think she looks great for her age. Secondly, her boyfriend is NOT a good looking guy in the least. Sorry, but he looks scary....
wow, what a snarky article. All those comments about him being poor and her paying for things, implying he only likes her for her money? so low, below the belt. could you get any snarkier?
She is 51 ?!?!? She looks fantastic.
I have my concerns due to the fact that she's 7 years older than he is, and also because there is such a vast difference in terms of what each of them brings to the table financially. Usually, these two issues don't bode well for long term marriage success. He did seem like a nice enough guy when I saw him with her recently on "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen, so hopefully they will beat the odds and have a long and happy life together. A man would need a very strong ego to survive a relationship with a super-type-A woman. It sort of reminds me of Jason and Bethenny's situation, except this one has the added pressure of him being so much younger than her. Best of luck!
OK-- now what happened to this poor guys face? He looks more like a match for equally facially challenged Bethany Frankel.

Conservatives May Deprive Millions of Jobless Benefits Just in Time for the Holidays
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The U.S. Congress that convened for its limited "lame duck" session has a lot on its plate; it will act - or not act - on some of the pressing issues facing the nation, wrap up its business and go home for the holidays. From then until the new Congress convenes in January there will be a lot of occasions when the members will have their actual china plates piled high. But for a lot of people the holiday fare will be skimpier than it has been for quite a while - especially the nearly 15 million people out of work.
If Congress does not vote over the next week and a half to re-authorize federal unemployment benefits through next year, before they expire November 30, nearly 2 million women and men and their families will face a dismal holiday season. One estimate is that the number could reach 4 million by May with the current emergency benefits program having expired and the additional workers left unaided. It's hard to imagine anything more urgent than this.
The workers who will be affected by the extension are those who recently lost their jobs. The 2 million figure does not include those people who have exhausted their jobless benefits and will be on the streets with little or no income at all. Nor does it include the young people entering the job market for the first time.
According to Unemployed Workers.org, "These benefits have helped keep more than 9 million jobless workers and their families going this year alone, while they look for work in a tough economy. More than 5 million Americans who have been struggling to find jobs for six months or more currently rely on these federal unemployment benefits. Combined with state benefits, the expanded federal unemployment programs kept an estimated 3.3 million Americans out of poverty in 2009."
"Never before has Congress allowed extended unemployment insurance to lapse when the national unemployment rate is above 7.2 percent," says Jackie Headapohl of Michigan Job Search at mlive.com. "We'll find out later this month if the lame duck Congress will continue that tradition."
"It is hard to imagine that Congress could deny help to out-of-work Americans, except that is exactly what happened this summer when federal benefits lapsed for 51 days, cutting off 2.5 million people. Senate Republicans and a few Democrats insisted that reducing the deficit was more important," the New York Times said editorially last week. "That did not stop many of the same senators from preserving tax loopholes for certain wealthy money managers."
Congress' failure to pass an extension this summer took a toll in terms of peoples' lives in ways that are seldom chronicled in the major mass media. "I'd been submitting 20 to 30 job applications a week, and finally I got a job," says Lori Hancock, a 52-year-old woman in Weldon, Ill. who lost her job last November. "But, after working for only 2 weeks, my car was repossessed, and without any transportation to get to work, I lost that new job," Writing to w www.unemployedworkers.org, a website by the National Employment Law Project, she said, "If Congress hadn't let those benefits lapse last summer, I'd still have my car and my new job. Now I have neither. What happened to me could happen to almost anybody."
"Deficits matter,' the Times editorial continued, "but not more than a recovery (benefits are a powerful stimulus) or the economic survival of millions of Americans. Short-term extensions breed uncertainty and anxiety, which are also bad for the economy. The best thing this lame duck Congress can do is extend the benefits for 12 months, with the expectation that things will be better by the end of next year."

Worried Tornillo residents seek answers about arsenic in water
San Elizario, TX (KTSM) — Dozens of concerned Tornillo residents turned out for a public meeting today, demanding answers about water problems in the community. According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, water in Tornillo has tested positive for arsenic the last seven years. Recent tests showed arsenic levels of .013 milligrams per liter, which is higher than the acceptable standards of .010 milligrams per liter.
U.S. Representative Pete Gallego attended today's meeting and promised to investigate. "He actually told us about his son and that he wouldn't want his son to be drinking out of that water and he promised to look into that," said Luis Ramos, who attending the meeting.
The EPA says arsenic contaminations can cause skin damage, circulation problems, and an increased risk of cancer. The Tornillo Water District is looking for funding to improve water filtration.

This recipe is for those that have access to a store that sells Mexican groceries. Often it is hard to distinguish the fresh cheeses, such as queso blanco or panela from the melting cheeses like queso oaxaca. Either will work in this recipe. Just don't use a hard cheese like cotiga which is a hard cheese sililar to parmesan. I have been searching for the chile rellenos that I loved as a child that came from the Sawtelle Deli in West Los Angeles in the 60's. It's really not as hard as it looks and the taste is far superior to the chile relleno casseroles that are popular, IMHO.

With reference to the narrative of events, far from permitting myself to derive it from the first source that came to hand, I did not even trust my own impressions, but it rests partly on what I saw myself, partly on what others saw for me, the accuracy of the report being always tried by the most severe and detailed tests possible. My conclusions have cost me some labor from the want of coincidence between accounts of the same occurrences by different eyewitnesses, arising sometimes from imperfect memory, sometimes from undue partiality for one side or the other. The absence of romance in my history will, I fear, detract somewhat from its interest; but I shall be content if it is judged useful by those inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the interpretation of the future, which in the course of human things must resemble if it does not reflect it. My history has been composed to be an everlasting possession, not the showpiece of an hour.Thucydides
A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows; Love can erase an awful past, Love can be yours, you'll see at last; To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you'd rather die; You hope you've found that special rose, 'Cause you love and care for the one you chose.Rob Cella
The wind blows out, the bubble dies; The spring entomb'd in autumn lies; The dew dries up; the star is shot; The flight is past, and man forgot.Oliver Wendell Holmes
You keep your past by having sisters. As you get older, they're the only ones who don't get bored if you talk about your memories.Deborah Moggach
The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.George Orwell

By William D. Cohan

No one would expect Lloyd Blankfein, the chairman and chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs Group. Inc., to start making wholesale strategic changes to his firm based on his lousy third-quarter results.

Yet, with the firm reporting only its second quarterly loss in a dozen years, he does have to face the reality that Goldman's trading-driven business model may no longer have enough of the right stuff to compete effectively in the new regulatory world against the too-big-too-fail universal banks, like JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp. and Deutsche Bank AG.

For the first nine months of 2011 -- admittedly as tough a business environment as there has been for a while (or at least since the fourth quarter of 2008) -- Goldman's return on equity has been an anemic 3.7 percent. Once upon a time, when Goldman was a private partnership, it was not uncommon for the firm to have an return in excess of 30 percent. Even as a public company, during the free-for-all casino days before the financial crisis, Goldman was able to post some impressive numbers: In the first quarter of 2006, the firm's return on equity was 40 percent.

Those days appear to over, for a variety of reasons. First, with around $70 billion in equity capital, it is simply more difficult for Goldman to earn hefty returns on that capital, especially in a post-Dodd-Frank environment that restricts the kind of freewheeling bets Goldman has often been so good at it in the past. Second, the business environment for Goldman's main businesses -- trading, investment banking, asset management and private equity investing -- stinks.

While it is true that occasionally Goldman will be able to hit the kind of four-bagger it did in the Kinder Morgan/El Paso deal yesterday -- where it helped advise El Paso Corp. and was one of the largest investors in Kinder Morgan Inc., where two if its partners sit on the board -- the truth is that the investment banking business is really tough these days and the trading business is even worse. The bottom line is that for the first nine months of 2011, Goldman's revenue has fallen 25 percent compared to the first nine months of 2010.

What should Goldman do? Think about the unthinkable: Merge with a good, old-fashioned bank, something along the lines of, say, Bank of New York Mellon Corp. -- which has $26.3 trillion in assets under custody and $1.2 trillion in assets under management. Doing so would help Goldman broaden its business plan and its earnings base and help it to better compete in an age when regulators want banks to be less like casinos and more like utilities. Goldman considered buying Mellon Bank once before, in 1998, and it helped cost then co-chief executive officer Jon Corzine his job. Nowadays, a merger with BNYMellon might just help Blankfein keep his.

(William D. Cohan, a former investment banker and the author of "Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule theWorld," is a Bloomberg View columnist. )

One should take the time to actually walk through the hotel, read the historical notes to understand how much The Driskill contributed to the Nations history. It's always a delight to find something previously missed. The elegance of the surroundings, close proximity to anything you would want to get to in Austin. Extremely professional staff and wonderful restaurants!
