Brussels Sprout Slaw with Mustard Dressing and Maple-Glazed Pecans Reviews
Bon Appétit | November 2009
reviews & comments (34)
this was really good. i think i'll serve it as a salad - it could hold up on its own. and the pecans are so delicious...make a few extra to keep for your next salads.
This recipe is quick and easy to make! (I had my boyfriend hand chop the brussels sprouts while I prepared the rest of the meal.) Letting this sit for at least half an hour is incredibly important. I actually cut the glaze for the pecans by 1/3. My boyfriend and friend both said this dish made it hard for them to remember why they didn't like brussels sprouts!
Vibrant and delicious, made exactly according to the recipe. The flavors and textures of this unexpected treatment were lively and refreshing, and the leftovers still held up splendidly the next day--with the caveat that the glazed nuts should only be added shortly before serving. My advice: reserve some of the nuts if you anticipate leftovers, or make extra nuts (they disappear quickly!)

Industries & Professions /
Bank Examiners
Employment for financial examiners will grow more slowly than the average for all occupations through 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Opportunities for examiners are expected to be best in the finance and insurance industries. The recent financial crisis has prompted government agencies at the state and federal levels to more closely monitor the activities of banks, and the federal and state governments to implement new financial regulations. As a result, more examiners will be needed. Employment growth may be offset, however, if the trend toward bank mergers and closings continues.

Bermondsey Warehouse Loft showcasing industrial elements
Bermondsey Warehouse Loft is situated in an industrial building that was formerly used as a tin and zinc factory, completely refitted by FORM Design Architecture in Bermondsey, a district in south London, United Kingdom. The industrial character and scale had previously been lost beneath raised floors, lowered ceilings and partitions in this 1,119 square foot (110 square meters loft).
Storage, bathroom & utility functions are contained within a sharply-detailed block 'parked' in the corner of the now fully revealed Loft space, with a similarly detailed linear kitchen counter block. A concealed sliding wall allows the sleeping area to be enclosed if required. At the other end, a full width counter provides a work area for the photographer owner. In between are flexible zones for dining, relaxing and exercise.
Apart from the unfinished floorboards, all surfaces are finished in white, the crisp machine-made quality of the solid acrylic blocks setting them apart from the more hand-made and time-weathered surface textures of the original industrial building. Surface finishes within the service block are in dark grey, accenting the idea of a fruit or jewel-case-like object with a smooth exterior skin contrasting with a darker, sensual core.

Modern warehouse conversion in TriBeCa: Hudson Loft
Hudson Loft is a historic preservation project of a former American Express warehouse building, which has been designed by Schappacher White Architecture in TriBeCa, New York. The architects combined two spaces into a 3,000 square foot residential loft. The design evolved from the local warehouse history, materials, and forms of the existing spaces. Materials were selected that have age or been aged. Materials such as: chemically aged steel wall panels, zinc, new steel baseboards to reflect existing metal capitals, custom metal lighting at vaulted ceilings, wired glass at bath door/partition, and stained fumed oak. The kitchen incorporates custom center pivot windows that open to a pantry located behind the length of the kitchen.
The wall treatment seen here in the family room is what the architects call "liquid metal wall" since it looks fluid and changes in appearance as the light in the room shifts. SchappacherWhite custom designed the treatment and had it fabricated for this application. It is made of hot rolled steel sheets, cut to size and to follow the vaults at the ceiling. The steel was chemically "aged" and then a sealer applied. Our metal fabrictor made this wall, zinc shelves and counters, custom designed lighting, and bases for the columns to match the cast iron capitols.
The sofa is from B&B Italia, the light fixture at the left is by Arteriors, the wall mounted is Olampia.
This project has an exhaust hood behind the cabinet doors. It is a gas cooktop, so the owners open the doors for access to the hood when using the cooktop depending on the setting of the flame. The light fixture over the kitchen island was custom designed for this loft by SchappacherWhite.
The dining table is from Restoration Hardware. The light fixture over the island is custom designed by SchappacherWhite for this project. The fixture over the dining table is through Urban Electric.
The wire shelving in this kitchen pantry area is from Metro Shelving. The pantry is 4′ wide x 17′ long. The width will depend on what shelving depth is required. The windows at the left are at the kichen's backsplash, so pantry items can be passed through directly to the kitchen counter. The lundry basket is by Restoration Hardware.
The striking portrait on the wall of a girl and her dog is a 6′-0″ wide painting by artist Bill Sullivan.
The desk, shelves and rods were custom designed by SchappacherWhite for this specific project. The shelves and desk surface are zinc, the rod is steel. The built-in shelves are + – 30″' wide. Desk is the same width, but extends over the radiator another 6″.
The floors are fumed oak. The pocket door into the master bedroom is black metal framed fibergalsss panels.
Radiator covers have a Corian top and laquer painted doors/covers.

Light-filled Houston loft by CONTENT Architecture
This contemporary loft is situated in the historic Hermann Lofts Building in downtown Houston, Texas, designed by local C O N T E N T Architecture. The seventh-floor, 1,275 square foot apartment features wall-to-wall windows throughout, flooding the home with light. This unit was renovated in 2011, with the design utilizing an internal core to liberate the unit's generous 180 degree view of the city. The exposed brick and concrete ceilings of the nearly century-old building remained untouched, while the flow of the apartment was increased by separating the internal walls in the kitchen and bedroom from the rear of the apartment, adding a second walk-through space. The set-up of the kitchen was also reversed, moving the range to the island so that the owner, who is an avid cook, could appreciate the view and interact with guests in the living room as she cooked. In the bedroom, a large wardrobe was added to delineate the space, and the entrance to the master bathroom was shifted to make room for a larger closet area.
As the hallway transitions into the open loft space, a makeshift dining area includes a striped reclaimed-wood table by Houstonian Bob Card flanked by Arne Jacobsen chairs, a trio of framed lotus leaves and a modern light fixture by Pelle.
Dividing the public areas and the bedroom is a flex-space that accommodates both a home office and yoga area. Custom millwork throughout increases storage while providing a backdrop to the owner's eclectic art, library, and furniture collection.

Chic Industrial Brick Loft House in Singapore by FARM
The Brick Loft House was once a dingy looking office unit that received a complete overhaul by architecture firm FARM, situated in Joo Chiat Ln, Singapore. The new owners saw the potential of this apartment and so did the architects. Situated on the second storey of a shophouse unit in the charming JooChiat area, the architects wanted to reinvent, with a localized design language, the concept of a chic industrial loft.
From the onset, we knew the importance of bringing light and the sense of lightness to the space within. The apartment has to feel as if it's suffused with light. To do that, walls were knocked down to create an outdoor verandah area upon entry. Huge timber framed glass sliding doors are used to further increase light porosity. Generous amount of louvres are used at the rooftop to bring in more light to the mezzanine bedroom.
The feel of the industrial is brought out through the sensitive use of building materials and the reinvention of their vocabulary and usage. Taking a cue from concrete ventilation blocks found in old houses, we updated the look with a new custom-made pattern. This pattern is then abstracted and transformed again and brought into the living area via a laser-cut metal screen folding door.
The old plaster of the house was also peeled off to reveal bricks in their original gritty but charming condition. What are 'industrial lofts' without some bricks eh? Then using the idea of these bricks as basic building blocks, we created continuous wall shelving with a similar structure and framing. The key unmissable feature in the apartment is the spiral staircase constructed entirely out of metal, spray-painted all glossy white, and with its balustrade in the dangerously-sexy form of a curving brick wall.

Striking Manhattan loft transformation in the Glass Farmhouse
The Glass Farmhouse Loft is an open loft space in former factory building situated in Manhattan's Midtown West neighborhood, New York, designed and owned by Charoonkit Thahong of Studio Recreation Inc. Thahong spent months searching for just the right raw, industrial space to remodel for his own home. The loft is in a former 13-story school building called The Glass Farmhouse, that was converted into residential apartments in 1982. With 52 sun-filled loft-style apartments, occupied mostly by photographers and artists, this loft was exactly what he was looking for: open space, hardwood floors and plenty of sunlight.
"It was almost as raw as I expected," Thahong says. "It was actually livable, but it just wasn't my taste." In seven months Thahong transformed this 1,340 square foot one bedroom and one bath eclectic showcase for his individual style. Collections of ceramics, tropical plants, mid-century alarm clocks and other quirky knickknacks occupy almost every surface, but the space still manages to feel clean and modern. Most of Thahong's decor consists of vintage pieces and classics in a neutral palette.
The ceiling lamp in the living room started as an iconic Lyndon outdoor floor lamp by designer Vico Magistretti, but Thahong had it adjusted and rewired for a statement-making ceiling fixture.
Thahong's background in product design and ceramics has fostered a deep love for simple white vases. Most of his collection hails from Germany, particularly from Rosenthal and the Royal Porcelain Factory in Berlin.
He also loves the Danish Holmegaard Gulvase in white, red and amber glass. "I like the concept of 'simple is best,'" says Thahong of the vase's classic shape.
The stainless steel and walnut-stained plywood island was preexisting, but Thahong had a custom stainless steel top made for the back counter out of a single piece of steel with integrated sinks. Open industrial shelving extends all the way to the top of the wall, helping Thahong get maximum storage out of limited square footage. He keeps a ladder and step stool on hand for when he has to reach the party platters and other little-used items up top.
Although the original kitchen was dark and dated, Thahong lucked out with Viking appliances left over from the previous owner. The restaurant-quality range hood was already in place when Thahong bought the space. Unlike many city kitchen hoods, this one vents out the window. "It's almost impossible to get a permit now to do that in a New York apartment," says Thahong.
Thahong sleeps in a lofted bedroom located atop a small closet. A classic Vitra wall organizer keeps must-have items on hand near the door.
The lofted sleeping space has room for little more than a cozy bed, but Thahong still managed to sneak his collection of 1960s and '70s alarm clocks onto the half wall behind his bed.
The mirror on this side of the room reflects the slate tile on the shower's back wall. The walnut-stained plywood console displays more of Thahong's Holmegaard Gulvase collection. "The bathroom is a really important part of all my designs," he says. "I like it to surprise and have an exotic feeling."
The bathroom sits toward the front of the apartment, away from the windows on the other side of the unit. To keep the space from feeling like a cave, Thahong opened it up with a large, clear sliding glass door supplemented with a curtain for privacy.
On the side of the bathroom shown here, floor-to-ceiling subway tiles cover the wall behind a 60-inch round bathtub. The vessel sink's location was determined by plumbing lines; Thahong usually sits cross-legged on the plywood tub deck when using it.

Three-story West Loop Loft renovation in Chicago
This West Loop Loft renovation unifies four existing lofts in a former Nabisco cracker factory built in 1884 into one large open space by Scrafano Architects in Chicago, Illinois. The 6,000 square foot residence is situated in the top northwest corner of a five story, brick and timber-frame building. The three-story loft has mezzanines at every level using a dynamic layering of cantilevered metal grate floors with open rails increasing the live/work area and allowing light to filter to the spaces below.
The kitchen and eating area were located in the center of the space to create a central social gathering and communal area. Fireplaces are used as focal points to mark both ends of the L-shaped living space.Built-in shelves and cabinetry separate interior rooms while simultaneously connecting spaces and storing the owners' large book collection and travel treasures. The bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices are tucked upstairs under the building's original wood ceiling. The new trapezoidal twenty-foot skylight provides views to the sky and directs natural light into the two story spaces below.
The Chicago approved green roof deck and trellis creates an outdoor living room while providing an unobstructed 360-degree view of the Chicago skyline beyond. Stainless steel mesh panels delineate the garden edge while providing a screen from the unsightly HVAC units. The undulating IPE wood deck, sloping trellis, small lawn and the native prairie grasses soften the urban industrial setting.

Ultra-modern house with amazing layout in Spain
This unique home was once an old commercial property, a toy store, then went on to become an ultra-modern house with an amazing layout in Barcelona, Spain. Architecture studio Egue y Seta was commissioned for the reform of the project as well as the interior design. They left the essential walls, renovated facilities and combined warm materials such as iroko and oak woods , with other loft aesthetics, such as concrete, brick and galvanized sheet metal.
Glass is the key material in the reform, which directly influences the organization of space. It is mostly used in the facade, so that natural light takes the leading role. Behind the facade of glass, two fronts of vertical oak slats provide privacy on both sides of the entrance door, flanked by two walls that give life to the house. These shrubs, alongside a real indoor garden, featuring local species and bed of pine bark, forming a green triangle that provides a natural setting environment, something made possible by the special layout of the house.
To the right of the entrance are the common areas, an open plan living room, dining room and kitchen. A sunken living room was a solution for achieving spaciousness, as the difference in level creates the illusion of distance with the dining room when, in fact, they are close.
The walls are enhanced by contrasting brick wall and gray paint. The original wrought ceiling with beams was left exposed and galvanized steel ducts for air conditioning and heating was added.
The bedroom, is separated from two totally glazed volumes: the bathroom and indoor garden located in front of the entrance. Privacy is redefined as well in this house inhabited by a childless couple. In return, the owner's can enjoy the central garden, as without a wall between the sleeping area and the bathroom, the bedroom is designed as a suite.

Building transformed into industrial home in Portland
SE Division Street is a commercial building project that was transformed by Emerick Architects into an industrial home by adding a second story light-filled living space in Portland, Oregon. An open floor plan, lots of large windows and door panels and 12 foot tall ceilings give it the character of an industrial loft. Custom stainless kitchen cabinetry combined with vintage fixtures and furniture carry out the eclectic feel of an old urban loft.
A machined hood, custom stainless cabinetry and exposed ducting harkens to a commercial vibe. The 5'x10′ marble topped island wears many hats. It serves as a large work surface, tons of storage, informal seating, and a visual line that separates the eating and cooking areas.
Windows and door panels reaching for the 12 foot ceilings flood this kitchen with natural light. Custom stainless cabinetry with an integral sink and commercial style faucet carry out the industrial theme of the space.
Upon entering the penthouse the light and dark contrast continues. The exposed ceiling structure is stained to mimic the 1st floor's "tarred" ceiling. The reclaimed fir plank floor is painted a light vanilla cream. And, the hand plastered concrete fireplace is the visual anchor that all the rooms radiate off of. Tucked behind the fireplace is an intimate library space.
A glimpse into the office space from the living room reveals the large custom built-in painted wood filing and storage cabinet below the windows. Clerestory windows above the desk bring in additional natural light.
A custom-designed paneled zinc barn door is a piece of art, as well as functioning to close off the living space when desired.
A huge wall of windows faces the bed and billowy parachute curtains soften the space. The room was left simple and intimate to create restfulness.
With the floor to ceiling windows continuing through into the bathroom, and white details throughout, the room is airy and filled with light. The sink is re-purposed from a commercial building and the custom zinc medicine cabinets are extra deep and outfitted with outlets so that the bathroom clutter is contained.
The movement is orchestrated so that you experience the heavier/darker ground floor upon entering the building and then travel up through the light filled stairway.
The concrete stair treads and steel risers wrap around the hand plastered elevator shaft.
The interior stair that leads up to the living space is filled with natural light and gives way to a view of the rooftop outdoor terrace and garden.
Setting the penthouse 12 feet away from the property lines allowed for outdoor rooms. as well as another opportunity for an environmental feature: storm water management. With tall light embracing windows and bi-fold doors the indoors feels a part of the outdoors and vice versa.
The exterior terrace features large concrete tiles, built-in planters and a reflecting pool. Amber string lights provide mood lighting outside the dining space.
The second story was added atop this existing commercial building to make a new loft-style residence. The existing building received new windows and a facelift to blend with the new rooftop dwelling.

Coalition to deliver new Monash Heart Hospital
Victoria's largest provider of cardiology services, Monash Health, will be the home to Australia's first dedicated cardiac hospital under a re-elected Napthine Government.
Premier Denis Napthine today announced a re-elected Coalition Government would deliver the new five-storey home for Monash Health's cardiac department, Monash Heart.
The Coalition Government will commit $70 million to the new Monash Heart Hospital, with Monash Health committing $50 million.
"Heart disease remains a major killer here in Victoria, with 20 Victorians dying every day from heart disease," Dr Napthine said.
"Demand for cardiac services is growing, but space constraints at the existing facilities at Monash Medical Centre mean that expansion is not an option," Dr Napthine said.
Minister for Health David Davis said that dedicated, standalone cardiac hospitals had been proven to be successful in many other major cities, but that one had not yet been built in Australia.
"Currently, Monash Heart's services at Clayton are spread through the hospital building. This is far from ideal and places constraints on clinical care," Mr Davis said.
"A purpose-built Monash Heart Hospital will deliver improved clinical care to patients, and a much better environment for both staff and patients.
"It will also significantly increase Monash Health's ability to attract and retain leading clinicians, and further develop Monash Heart Hospital as a leading centre for research," Mr Davis said.
Dr Napthine said that the new dedicated facility will provide Monash Heart with a significant boost in capacity, which it needs to meet the increased demand for cardiology services.
"Monash Heart do a fantastic job of treating Victorians, with over 73,000 tests, more than 5,200 catheterisation laboratory procedures and 15,500 echocardiograms currently performed here every year. The new dedicated facility will future proof Monash Heart and deliver much needed services to all Victorians," Dr Napthine said.
Development of the Monash Heart Hospital aligns with the Coalition's cardiac plan, Heart health: improved services and better outcomes for Victorians, which was launched at Monash Heart earlier this year.
Heart Health is a comprehensive five-year plan to prevent heart disease and further develop and improve cardiac services across the health system.
"Our plan builds on current efforts to strengthen cardiac services and outlines ways to improve our system to deliver more effective and efficient care into the future," Mr Davis said.
Dr Napthine said that the new Monash Heart facility would build on the Government's construction of the $250 million Monash Children's Hospital.
"The community can be proud of the place that Monash Health has in our healthcare system, and the Coalition's commitment to the Monash Heart Hospital means even better services for the almost one million Victorians living in Melbourne's south-east," Dr Napthine said.

How to Care for an Elderly Parents Finances | eHow.com
June 30th, 2010
Our Comment: Many of us have needed to help our parents handle anything from the normal financial task of paying bills to making major financial decisions. We never seem to know the best time to offer help or ways to help parents understand they need our help. This short article has tips that are good to keep in mind, based on our experiences. – J. David Lewis
By Colleen Reinhart, eHow Contributing Writer
Realizing that a parent needs help coping with finances is hard, but your foresight, help and vigilance can keep your aging mother or father safe, secure and provided for throughout the golden years. Tread carefully when talking about money, since asking for financial help is difficult for World War II-generation seniors used to looking after themselves. Keep your eyes open for red flags that signal financial trouble, prevent problems by planning ahead and act fast if you notice any serious financial issues.

This is an amazing school. It is the sole reason that I still live in Hampshire. The principal, teachers, parents are all involved and care about all the kids. It is a wonderful environment.
I wish we had been here BEFORE Scarpino! What a joke of a principal. He bullies the kids, staff, and parents. My son hates school as a direct result of this man. He has gone to him for help and been shamed for doing so. The art program is non existant. PE is a joke. Dr Scarpino spends lots of wasted time "visiting" classrooms daily to intimidate the teachers instead of doing anything productive. My kids actually try NOT to earn incentives for doing good because often the prize us time spent with the principal. THEY HATE HIM! be claims the are "his kids" what a crock. My youngest Will never set foot in that school if this man is still there when she is kindergarten age..
HES is everything I want my kids' elementary school to be! Our community really makes this school a special place for kids to learn what education is all about. I am proud of my sons' teachers for making learning fun and meaningful, and not just 'teaching to the tests' like many other schools. I appreciate that the kids are taught to be inquisitive and to think for themselves. The teachers and support staff are wonderful, and do such a great job making sure all children feel valued and are held to a common standard of expected behavior.
The teachers are amazing!! The community is really active and involved too!
Hampshire Elementary is a wonderful school. My children feel very comfortable with all the teachers and especially with Mr. Aalfs. He's been a wonderful addition! Its nice to know your children are safe and the teachers and staff really do care about their jobs. Glad to be at HES!!!!
Hampshire Elementary is a great FAMILY school! The staff and principal go out of their way to get to know each child and parent. We have a wonderful principal and the teachers are amazing! I couldn't be happier. When we moved to Hampshire 7years ago we where looking for a great place to raise our children, and we couldn't be happier!
Hampshire Elementary is a wonderful school. Upon the retirement of Mr. Wright many may have worried who could possibly fill his shoes. Mr. Aalfs is extraordinary! He is a fantastic principal, that clearly takes his job seriously. The children love him too.The teachers seem to get better each child I have go through the school. Keep up the great work!
Mr. Wright, our fearless principal, is the glue that holds this tight ship together. He treats all students, parents and staff with the upmost respect and this trickles down. We have not had one bad experience with any teachers. We love this school!
Hampshire Elementary is a great school with excellent leadership. I am proud to send my child there.

disintegrating enchiladas
- t
- tarabell Oct 18, 2005 06:54 PM
I'm making chicken enchiladas tonight and would like to know how to keep my corn tortillas from disintegrating into a mushy mess.
I let each tortilla fry a moment in a little hot oil before adding in my chicken, cheese and sauce. By the time they're filled, I notice the tortillas are already practically falling apart. And after they've baked in the oven 15-20 min, the tortillas have lost all form and are practically cornmeal mush. What am I doing wrong? Maybe flour tortillas work better?
re: Candy
Actually, there are enchiladas made with flour tortillas. In general, don't speak generally about Mexican food, as there are so many regionalisms.
I have to agree with the other posters that it sounds like it needs a few moments longer in the oil. I think I usually have mine in for a little less than 30 seconds in a medium hot frying pan, flipping once or twice. Personally, I dip mine in the sauce first (as my grandmother did, so I figure that's legit) and then the quick oiling serves to soften the tortilla as well as cook the sauce into the tortilla a bit.
re: joypirate
If you will look at my first response, I suggested that she is not frying the tortillas long enough. I don't know where you are from, but I am originally from Douglas, AZ. right on the Mexican and New Mexican borders and grew up with enchiladas etc. as comfort food. No enchilada was made with a flour tortilla. I think they might do that in some parts of Texas though. A Chimi or Burro will be made with flour things but not an enchilada or taco
re: Candy
Oh no, I was agreeing with you on the point regarding more time in oil.
As for enchiladas with flour tortillas, see link below and scroll down article, that recipe (at least for the enchiladas, not the sauce) is very similar to how my Mexican grandmother used to make them (without the olives).
You need to fry them a little longer, they need to be a bit leathery, still able to roll and certainly not crisp but just a quick dip in oil is not sufficient.
re: nja
I did see Candy's tip before I made them and thought that must be it because I have been afraid to leave the tortillas in the oil too long and make them greasy. And maybe it's the oil that "seals" out the water in the sauce. So I instructed my husband (who was assembling them) to make sure the tortillas were fried a while. I still don't think he did them long enough--maybe 30 seconds on each side, but the enchiladas did hold together better this time. They still were a bit mushy at the center of the dish, but firmer out at the edges. I like to still be able to bite the corn tortilla. I think the sauce also tends to soak into them and make them fall apart and so yes, baking them too long would probably contribute to the saturation effect--ours were in a 350 degree oven about 15 min so next time I'll try the broiler method.
I rarely make them, but tonight we had leftover Costco chicken and we decided it was a good excuse to get rid of that old can of La Palma enchilada sauce. So this wasn't intended as any gourmet effort here but was mainly hoping the tortillas wouldn't disintegrate again. I have no idea if it's the brand, but they came in your normal bagged-stack of 50 or so (and yes they were corn) like you see in any supermarket, nothing weird or whole-wheat or anything like that.
Some have mentioned also dipping their tortillas in sauce after frying, which I think I tried once and I remember the tongs tore them up a bit and I had a hot slippery mess on my hands. My husband thought microwaving them a few seconds should be all that was needed to make them pliable enough to fill. So I'd still love to find out what method keeps those tortillas fairly intact. Maybe Cooks Illustrated will do some research on this.....;-)
re: tarabell
Some of the problem might be caused by the sauce. My grandmother-in-law, the best Mexican cook I know, is willing to use a number of shortcuts (e.g., jarred mole), but she refuses to ever use canned enchilada sauce. I can't be sure, but the sauce might be a problem. In fact, I had an experience recently that supports that theory. Left over from another meal, I had about a cup of blended and reconstituted dried chiles, to which I added salt and spice. But I didn't have time to add all that to a roux like I usually do for enchilada sauce. The finished enchiladas were a lot mushier than usual. In fact they kind of disintegrated.
Anyway, I do also recommend dipping the fried tortillas in sauce. It takes a bit of practice to minimize tearing but it's worth it. I usually set up a little system on the stove where I take one tortilla out of the oil, drop it onto a paper towel, throw another tortilla in the oil, blot the first tortilla (which has now cooled a bit) with the paper towel, dip it in sauce, then fill and roll. Dipping in sauce *before* frying make for great enchiladas, especially if you're making the street vendor style (folded up with maybe a touch of cheese) rather than the stuffed, rolled, and baked style. But it makes a hell of a mess to fry the tortillas with sauce on them. That stuff splatters everywhere.
re: nja
I use the Las Palmas canned enchilada sauce for a couple of my enchilada recipes and don't have this problem of the tortillas falling apart. maybe there is too much moisture in the filling itself? I make a very dry filling, and I fry the tortillas about 10 seconds (I don't flip, only push them down so both sides get dunked), and I also dip the fried tortillas in sauce before filling and rolling.
re: tarabell
Microwaving doesn't really work. I read online somewhere that if you sprinkle a little water on them and microwave them it sort of steams them into pliability. I tried it once when I was making flautas and they were slightly more pliable than when non-fried/non-dipped but not really pliable enough to hold them together.
re: joypirate
I've been microwaving mine for years. Double paper towels on the plate, 4 tortillas spread out as much as possible, another layer of paper towels and 4 more tortillas, heat for 1 - 1.5 minutes, dip in canned sauce, add filling, roll and place on baking sheet. When they're all rolled I top with a layer of cheese and heat in the oven till the cheese melts. Works fine for me.
I used to soften them in oil first but find the MW method much easier and cleaner. I've never had the problem of them disintegrating but they do crack if not softened enough.
re: tarabell
I'm with Tarabell. I'm cooking Diane Kennedy tomatillo sauce enchiladas. Frying them for 30 seconds until almost too stiff. Filling them with chicken, then covering them with tomatillo sauce, then some cheese, then letting them heat for 10 minutes, covered, as directed. And they come out mushy. How do you make corn enchiladas that are firm like in any good tex-mex restaurant?
re: tarabell
I suspect your oil might be too cool, as well. Hotter oil (not smoking, though) means less oil absorption. Cooking something in oil below 325 degrees or so is asking for oily, soggy stuff.
re: tarabell
Tarabell (six years after your post) regarding Cook's Illustrated tortilla treatment for enchiladas, Cook's Illustrated spread the tortiallas on a baking sheet, sprayed them on both sides with cooking spray, and baked them in a 300* F oven for 4 minutes. Then they filled the toritllas with a chicken filling that included sauce. The filled tortillas are rolled and placed in a baking dish. Sauce is put on top of the echiladas and then baked. Note that Cook's Illustrated did not fry the toritillas in oil nor did they dip the tortillas in sauce. See the recipe at the following link for more info:
re: Norm Man
Just wanted to add that, since making this CI recipe a year or two ago, this is now the method I always use for prepping my tortillas. It works great.
Well, I make Enchiladas the old skool Mexican way, which is just to fry until just bendy (So it has a crisp edge to it) and coat in sauce and serve right away.
If I can't serve them right away, I place them in a baking dish and place them in a WARM oven, just to keep them warm, NOT to finish baking...
I also suggest you might try another brand of tortilla.
The truth is, Enchiladas are best served fresh or at most a few hours after being made. If I have leftover Enchiladas, even if they never ENTERED the oven (I Just rolled and packed them away for lunch the next day) they always end up falling apart because of the sauce...
re: Dommy!
I'm with you on fresh enchiladas. I assemble the meat/cheese filling with (quickly dipped in oil) tortillas, holding them in a pan in a low, warm oven, but sauce them on the plate right before serving.
they do not have to be cooked, just softened enough to roll. Dip in hot oil for a second, or place on a warm griddle and cover with a towel for 30 seconds or put in a covered dish in the nuke for 15 seconds.
do not add sauce, just what adheres to the main ingredients. If you want to add sauce add it on top.
they do not have to be baked, everything is already cooked, just broil to melt the cheese
Hmmm. I've always dipped them in simmering stock for about 10 seconds. I've never used oil to fry them first.
the other posters' suggestions are good. I know this may not be an option and certainly isn't the easiest solution, but have you ever made your own corn tortillas? I find that when I make my own, they surprisingly hold up better to sauces. Even if they are baked at 350 for 20 minutes or so, there is still bite left in them. Plus, they have a much deeper flavor.
Anyhow, I know that isn't an option on a quick food night. But some food (literally) for thought.
Good luck.
my mom dips them in oil then whole milk. I don't know whether this will help, but her enchiladas suizas usually stay intact. although I am often shoveling them in too fast to notice.
Have you ever tried Sonoran enchiladas? They are not rolled but stacked. Lightly fry the tortilla, blot, dip in sauce and place flat on a plate. Then top with cheese, etc. fry another, blot, dip in sauce and dress again. When you have as many layers as you would like heat in your oven until cheese is melty and top with a fried egg. That is pure comfort food. My mom used to just layer with cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce and chopped onion. It wasn't until I was visiting a relative in Calif. in my teens that I ever encountered rolled enchiladas.
The first enchilada recipe I ever followed gave this procedure, which I have followed ever since: heat up a DRY griddle or pan to just about smoking. Have your stack of tortillas on one side, a bowl of enchilada sauce and a brush and a clean plate on the other. Heat a tortilla for 10-15 seconds on one side. Turn it over, brush a very light coating of sauce over the cooked side, then turn it over again onto the plate and brush sauce on that side while the next tortilla is heating on its first side...and repeat until you run out of tortillas. I usually turn the whole stack over when I'm assembling the enchiladas so that the ones I cooked first get rolled first, because they will sort of delaminate and get messy if the sit stacked up long enough. As for the tortillas, I use whatever they have cheap at the neighborhood Latino market, which is usually the same thing you can get at any supermarket.
Your tortillas might have too much moisture in them. Set them out on the counter to air out and dry up a little bit, then fry in very hot oil.
I am having the same problem with sour cream chicken enchiladas that are very delicious, but a bit soggy..Recipes always tell you to coat the bottom of the pan with some of the enchilada sauce, then put in the rolled enchiladas and then cover them with sauce, cheese, and bake...I have been thinking about it, and wondering what it is that they do in Mexican Restaurants with so many different "sauces", for a chicken enchilada...There are those with sour cream sauce, some with mole, some with green chili sauce....I am thinking that it is possible that they have the chicken enchiladas rolled up (yes the corn tortilla is quickly put in hot oil to be pliable before it is filled), but the difference is that maybe the enchilada is put in the oven and heated up and THEN the sauce and the cheese are topped on them and possibly put under a broiler....It is the only way that I can imagine that that theirs are not soggy, and ones made at home are...it's the only thing that could make the difference...Also, the plate of enchiladas in a restaurant always comes to the table sizzling hot...More support for my theory...Well, I am going to try it next time I make enchiladas and if it works, I will report it....
After years of experimentation, we have found a way to avoid the soggy enchilada. The problem is the restaurants make enchiladas up fresh (except for NM- they found a short cut) and heat them on the plate they are served on- the tortillas do not have time to get soggy.
Here's the tip: Heat the tortillas in oil and dip in sauce if you like as described elsewhere. Fill the tortillas with your favorite seasoned fillings and place the rolled tortillas in a shallow lightly greased pan. DO NOT OVERCROWD AND DO NOT PUT SAUCE on enchiladas in the pan. If you crowd slightly, that's ok. It is more important to NOT put sauce at this point. Have the enchilada sauce heating on the stovetop. Place enchiladas (NO SAUCE) in oven and heat for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the sauceless (except for the tortillas if you dipped them) enchiladas.
On another shallow baking pan, remove enchiladas by 2s, 3s, or 4s (a serving portion). You can group several portions, separated from one another. Put your favorite mexican cheese on the enchilada portions. Pour heated sauce over the nechiladas.
Place the enchiladas under the broiler for a few minutes.
Remove, serve, and enjoy! This is as close as you'll get to restaurant style enchiladas without a commercial kitchen. Now you an concentrate on making an awesome home-made enchilada sauce (please send it to me when you do- just kidding).
Realizing this is a pretty old thread, still has lots of good information. I've made many many enchiladas, you name it, I've stuffed a corn tortillas with it. I often make two dishes, and freeze one. I can only think that the problem with disintegrating tortillas, has to be the tortillas not the way you're cooking them.
They will break apart if they're not cooked properly. I use either a flat top cast iron griddle, and while ones being rolled the other is cooking- flip and cook the other side. A little oil, not dripping, and the reason is you have to cook the tortilla otherwise it's raw. I drain them between paper towels and work very quickly with hot ingredients. Meat goes down first, a little sauce, and then cheese, roll and tuck seam side down into a baking dish with a scant amount of sauce on the bottom. Don't over crowd or when you cut into them, you'll possibly cut into the one right next to it. When they're all rolled, I cover with sauce and cheese. Cover with plastic and either they sit on the counter or go into the fridge depending on when we eat. I usually make these in the early afternoon for dinner, starting on the stuffing part, in the morning. I've tried dipping them in sauce, but found that I'm too messy with that way and it burns my finger tips way worse than using tongs and quickly rolling. I don't cover the dish with foil if I'm baking the freshly made dish.
If you freeze a tray, understand they will not be nearly as good as the one tray that you make and eat that day. I'd add the sauce to the top, and not the cheese, only adding that right before you heat them covered with foil.
Hopefully this information will help anyone looking for a tip that's new at making enchiladas one of my favorite comfort foods.
re: chef chicklet
I think the problem is the tortillas themselves and I would bet they are old because that is the only time I have had problems with them falling apart...lucky for me I get tortillas from around the corner while they are still warm. I use no oil but heat each one over a gas burner before dipping it in hot enchilada sauce for just a moment, then lay on board, fill and roll--always quickly since the tortillas is hot. When all done in the oven.
re: escondido123
that tends to happen if you aren't able to get good fresh tortillas. I live in CA, the turnover is so fast they can't stock the shelves fast enough.
" use no oil but heat each one over a gas burner before dipping it in hot enchilada sauce for just a moment," you must have asbestos fingers! Tried it and I suffered greatly!
re: chef chicklet
You have to be quick, really quick, over the burner! But I lift them out of the sauce with a flat pancake turner and let them drip for a minute before filling. And the cool filling helps to take the heat away so not too many problems.
re: escondido123
oooooh, dummy here uses her fingers like she's washing her dainties!!! hahaha!
At work sometimes we order in a bag of tortillas for the staff to make tacos. For a while we ended up with really thin, dry tortillas that fell apart when we tried to make tacos and were really disappointing. Then finally we noticed that those were 'chip' tortillas - meant to be fried into tortilla chips - and once fried they did make great, thin crispy chips. None of us gringos had known there were different tortilla formulations for different purposes, we always thought chips were just made out of the leftovers. I can imagine getting the results the OP was getting using the chip tortillas instead of the thicker, moister taco tortillas.
re: babette feasts
I'm wondering about the thickness of the tortillas. There are many different types and some are very thin, to be used only at the table to eat like bread. You want a thicker kind for enchiladas, I would think.
Years later, I was still looking for the solution, so I thought I'd post. I spent some time experimenting, and I think I have it. The oil should be HOT (so a drop of water can't penetrate the oil, but skitters across the surface). Next, don't be afraid to fry them a bit. You're not really trying to soften them--you're trying to strengthen them. They need to be a little leathery. It's better if they crack around the edges a bit when you roll them than if they're soggy. So fry them for 20-30 seconds per side. They should bubble and puff and the edge should just slightly brown. Tortillas are cheap--buy some and practice. 10 or 15 minutes of trial and error and you'll have it down.
One other tip: Resist the urge to drench them with sauce after they're rolled and in the pan. Many cooks like to pour sauce over the top before they go in the oven. That's a recipe for soggy enchiladas. If you dredge them in sauce before you fill them and there's sauce in the filling, that's plenty of sauce. They'll crisp up in the oven and the cheese on top will melt, and they'll be perfect.
One last tip: If you're making cheese enchiladas, use a combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Philadelphia cream cheese. Mix the cheeses together in a bowl with some of the sauce and you'll have an awesome filler. And spend the extra fifteen minutes or so to make your own sauce. I make mine with a 5:1 mix of anchos and chipotles. It's a great combo.
For what it's worth, I have the same problem. I use El Milagro brand corn tortillas, made fresh every day in Chicago. I love them but they do go to mush when I use them in enchiladas or anything else. Everything else, actually.

November 23, 2014
Here we are, four days into March, and we've yet to see ten inches of snow this winter in Charlottesville. If Mother Nature has any thoughts of changing that, she'd better hurry up; spring officially begins on Sunday, March 20 at 7:21PM in the eastern United States. The spring-like weather continues on through the next week, with two opportunities for rain between now and the middle of the month.
The first dose of rain will move in this weekend. There will be scattered showers during the day on Saturday, which will build to steadier rain overnight. The steady rain will continue through most of Sunday before tapering Sunday evening. While mainly showers are expected, a few non-severe thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. Model estimates for rainfall amounts range between half an inch and one inch for most of the area, though some isolated areas may see higher amounts. That amount of rain will take a nice chunk out of our yearly rainfall deficit, which stands at 4.95" below normal as of this morning. While well into the future, batch number two of rain could move in next Friday afternoon as a cold front nudges through the eastern United States. This front doesn't look as potent, though there could be enough rain to give most of central Virginia a free car wash.
We're also getting into the time of year where the rains will both clean out the air and promote higher pollen counts. There are few better examples of this than by looking at the past few days. Last Monday's rains followed by sunshine and warm temperatures have allowed the trees to start cranking their pollen machines. Tree pollen levels remain moderate today, and will fall a bit this weekend due to the rain. They'll surge to moderate or high levels early next week as sunshine and mild temperatures return to the area.
Yep. It's tissue and Claratin time!
3, 2, 1, fade out...
Chief Meteorologist Travis Koshko
P.S. - Daylight Saving Time starts Sunday, March 13. Clocks go AHEAD one hour!

Oranges bring a warm sweetness to the dreariest winter day. They are full of good things: vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Some oranges are used to make juice while others are eaten just as they are.
Where Do Oranges Come From?
When we think of oranges, we think of sunny places, such as Florida, California, Spain, and Brazil. But oranges were not originally (oranginally?) grown in those places. A long time ago, the first oranges grew wild in China and India. The word orange comes from a Sanskrit word--naranga. The first oranges to travel to Western countries about 1,000 years ago tasted sour. Five hundred years later, sweet oranges made their way to Europe.

Barack Obama Makes Good on College Football Campaign Promise
Barack Obama's signature domestic initiative is under threat from the Supreme Court. Unemployment remains high. Foreclosures continue apace. Guantanamo Bay remains open.
But there are glimmers of progress. For years, fans of college football have suffered under the vagaries of the Bowl Championship Series. "Let's not contaminate college football with the infectious excitement the playoffs provide in most other team sports," said absolutely no one who didn't have lucrative vested interest in the BCS.
As a candidate, Obama promised hope and change on this vital issue. During a Monday Night Football broadcast the night before the 2008 election, Obama said, "I think it's about time we had playoffs in college football. I'm fed up with these computer rankings and this that and the other. Get eight teams — the top eight teams right at the end. You got a playoff. Decide on a national champion."
As with the public option during the health care debate, the president didn't get all he wanted. Yesterday, a committee of university presidents approved a plan for a four-team playoff put forward by commissioners of the top football conferences, rather than the eight-team vision championed by Obama.
There's no word on whether Mitt Romney will attack Obama for this failing, but his hesitancy can be forgiven on account that Romney and the BCS computer were manufactured in the same facility.
At the very least, with his campaign now based on bribing voters with ice cream and improving college football, Obama is proving that he's a real American.

text: Sochi 2014: Yuzuru Hanyu Falls Twice, Still Wins Japan's First Gold in Men's Figure Skating Print article Send a Tip by Mary Chastain 14 Feb 2014 post a comment Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu won the country's first gold medal in men's ice skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Dennis Tan of Kazakhstan won the bronze, which is the country's first ever medal in men's figure skating. Hanyu said he was "not happy with my program" and did not think about whether he had won the gold when he finished. "No, I was so tired," he said. "I was so tired. I was just so tired." Then Orser came up and gave him a pat on the back. Hanyu broke into a big smile. "Oh my," he told his coach. Orser told him, "A win is a win is a win. I know you're tired. Are you happy?" "I'm happy," he said. Added Orser: "It's gonna sink in. This is history, all right. ... Enjoy." No one performed a clean skate, including Hanyu. He fell twice, but with his outstanding score in the short program and Canada's Patrick Chan's fatal mistakes he soared into first place. Chan was Canada's hope to finally gold medal in figure skating. However, he barely stayed on his skates when he attempted a triple axel and he completely messed up a very easy double axel. The last fall sealed his silver and Hanyu's gold. The favorite was Russia's Evegeni Plushenko, but he withdrew right when his name was announced on Thursday before the short program due to injury. The 31-year-old decorated star later retired from competitive skating. American Jason Brown skated last and did very well for his first Olympics. He placed ninth.


text: Marco Rubio: 'Of Course the Climate is Changing' Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 14 May 2014 post a comment Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) revisited the subject of global warming, assuring the media that he does believe that climate is changing. But, he says, he doubts there is anything we can do about it. During a May 11 visit to ABC's This Week, Sen. Rubio noted that he didn't feel that humans were causing global warming. "I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it," Rubio said. Rubio went further, stating, "I do not believe that the laws that they propose we pass will do anything about it, except it will destroy our economy." During the next two days, Rubio was beset by liberal critics over the interview. On Tuesday, he addressed the subject again. On May 13, at a National Press Club luncheon, Rubio revisited the issue. He asserted that he never really doubted that humans have caused climate change. But he added that he was skeptical that there was anything that the U.S. could do legislatively to address the problem. "Headlines notwithstanding, of course the climate is changing, the climate is always changing," Rubio said. "The issue is not whether the climate is changing. … The issue is whether there are legislative proposals before us that can do anything about it." Rubio also revealed that he is against cap and trade legislation and said that the U.S. cannot solve the world's climate issue by itself. "The truth of the matter is the United States is a country, it is not a planet," Rubio said, pointing out that no matter what the U.S. does, it won't change what countries such as China and India do. Rubio is walking a careful line here. On one hand, he is agreeing that global warming is man-made, despite the fact that many center-right voters don't concur. This does, however, appeal to center-left voters. Yet Rubio says he doesn't favor legislation to address it because any lone action by the U.S. would be pointless and self-destructive, a position with which many center-left voters do not agree. This, though, appeals to center-right voters. Sen. Rubio's main topic of discussion at the National Press Club was entitlement reform, especially Social Security reform.

text: Sen. Gillibrand Wants Military Chain of Command Out of Sex Assault Cases Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 18 Nov 2013 post a comment The Pentagon and various members of Congress stand united against Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's (D-NY) push for a vote to move sexual assault cases outside the military chain of command. Gillibrand's proposal would "strip commanders of their authority to prosecute cases of sexual assault." According to Fox News, "the Pentagon's top echelon and its allies in Congress" are staunchly opposed to the move. Moreover, two of Gillibrand's female colleagues in the Senate—both of whom "are former prosecutors"—insist that "commanders, not an outside military lawyer, must be accountable for meting out justice." A vote on Gillibrand's proposal is expected this week, and she claims to have enough votes to get it passed. Another vote on the "annual defense policy bill" is also expected this week, and it will "strip commanders of their ability to overturn jury convictions, require dishonorable discharge or dismissal of any individual convicted of sexual assault and establish a civilian review when a decision is made not to prosecute a case."

A murder indictment has been handed down in Calcasieu Parish in connection with the death of a Eunice woman in 1962.
Felix Vail is facing a murder charge; no court dates have been set. He's accused of killing Eunice native Mary Horton Veil more than five decades ago. Her body was found in the Calcasieu River; authorities told family at first that she had drowned. Felix Vail was arrested last month in Texas.
