I did find a person of support this afternoon--Yay! (there's been precious few of late.) But I also opened a bunch of mail from creditors and realized there are many thousands of dollars unaccounted for, so I guess they've all gone to the business of pursuing the OW. Crapdogs, yo! I am ready to catch a break in this situation. I intercepted the water being cut off, but there are a bunch more bills in default that I didn't know--I guess he's been going through the mail (I work a.m.'s, he worked p.m.'s) and just throwing away collection notices. And when I've asked, over the past year, he's assured me they've been paid. So now my credit is also screwed. Guess I'll be staying in this house--that's a shame, because it was his grandmother's house and is now in my name. Guess that screws all family relations from that side, cause I'll have to stay here til this is all cleared. Fandamntastic! Oh, and did I tell you? I live in a small town,where he grew up, so all this crap is not only known, I am sure, but discussed at large. Crap and crap!

I'm sure this hurts having people up in your business but hold your head high. You should not be ashamed, you did nothing wrong. Your "crime" is loving and trusting your husband.
When you see a lawyer you should be able to sue him for half the household income he spent on his girlfriend.
I know you don't feel like it but you are doing very well. ((winterbranch))
Delay is the deadliest form of denial. - C. Northcote Parkinson
Your standards aren't up for negotiation just because he/she can't meet them.
First, I doubt OWBS knows. He would have called his wife and told her to tell her boyfriend to have you back off. To call your H directly? I'm betting that this guy thinks he and your WH are friends, which means OW introduced them. Sick.
Second, if the house is in your name, that means you bought it. Since you aren't giving it away and back to his family, I wouldn't worry about it. Has his family contacted you to support you? If not, then you're concerning yourself with people that aren't concerned for you. They probably knew he was planning this.
Third - and most importantly - many of these relationships with someone from the past isn't about the person, it's about the past. Talking to someone from our past brings us back to that time. It makes us feel young, and somehow the memories of the breakup leave.
My H had an EA with an ex from his teenage years. Many others have the same story. It's much more about going back in time mentally than it is anything else. They're all the same. My H even said he was so glad she was back in his life, and also posted songs, etc. It's all very reminiscent of my boyfriend from back in 5th grade. I told my H that if it weren't him, and it didn't cause so much damage to me, I would actually laugh at how pathetic and immature he was, slobbering after some thing from the past like a love sick 10 year old.
Try again to get in touch with OWBS. He may know, but he may not. Don't leave a message. Keep calling until he answers. It just makes no sense that he's calling your WH asking about you and why you're calling. If he knew, he would know why you're calling. And he damned sure wouldn't be friends with your H to the point that he's calling him wondering what you may want.
As for your H - he really is amazing huh? Not paying bills, getting angry when caught, being amazingly irresponsible - sounds like someone that is acting like a teenager huh? LIke I said, back in time.
You did NOTHING to cause this. You trusted your H. You've been being lied to and betrayed for months. Dig into his computer. Send it to a specialist if you must, but get all of the details. Even if you're in a no fault state, let your H know you'll be dragging ALL of their sick, immature 'love messages' into court, and then, once a matter of public record, letting the entire world see what kind of 'man' he is if he tries to take one cent from you.
If he wants to leave, fine, but he does it with things that are his and his alone - clothes and toiletries. Everything else belongs to YOU.
And think about selling the house. If his family doesn't like this, just let them know they are free to make an offer on the home. If it's a fair offer and you accept, they have the home back. If it's not the best offer, or if it isn't a fair offer, then don't sell to them. Again - how many of them have called you to offer support? And how many of them do you think actually had no idea?
It's time to start focusing on you and your next steps. After all, even if he came home today begging to be forgiven, could you? He's been extremely cold, and this kind of blindsiding is very telling about what kind of person he is inside, and that's a not so nice one.
You've been through so much, and you're holding on wonderfully. I recommend getting into a counselor's office, and calling your physician to see about some short term anti-anxiety medication. I didn't want to do that, but after several months, I finally gave in. They help, much more than I thought they would.
We're here whenever you need support, or to vent, or simply someone to hear you.
Gotta politic this thing, or it's gonna sink into redneck abandon. Not me, I'm out of the crazy. Just want the bills paid. I've got a vision of me and my 4 animals with little bandana hobo packs, headed into the sunset. That's right, folks...Elvis HAS left the building! (obviously, meaning the love I felt..now it's just some kinda crappy chess match.)
To STBX: you want her, you got her. Enjoy the hell out of each other. I got some betta things to do. And I truly DO hope they one day fart unicorns and rainbows on each other...did I do that reference right? I also hope they leave the bathroom door open while pooping Skittles. Just sayin'...
In all seriousness, Thanks again and hope everybody has a great Work Week!
[This message edited by damnUnicorns at 9:05 PM, March 9th (Sunday)]
So - I'm glad to see you are feeling better than a few days ago. However, just be forewarned that your on a roller coaster right now and those feelings will change in a New York minute some days.
Good for you for taking charge of things.
It will be ok.
Today, I'm just pissed. Yes, indeed, the OWBH knew before me. Now, the WH is telling me he has no intention of being with her, just being without me. Great! You could have worked it out with me instead of cheating, but instead you chose this drama. Does he really think I'm-a in a mood to self-reflect and see his viewpoint? Cuz I'm not...just found out his preference is to be with someone else forever...just her HUSBAND got in the way! Shucks!
[This message edited by WinterBranch at 3:56 PM, March 13th (Thursday)]
I'm still all over the place, and so is the WH. He was super-angry at ME..don't get that...for the first month or so, now he's morphed into "I feel so guilty...you have to let me help you out of the financial mess I created...I ended it with with the OW...I effed up bad...if you'll accept my help I'll make the debts go away...if you want me to hurt over this you're getting your wish b/c it's killing me..I don't sleep, I don't eat...I wish i could take it back..."
WTF...seriously. I'd appreciate any input. My gut says anger and domination wasn't successful, so he's now trying the opposite technique to manipulate me...but to what end? What is his motivation? I know he's trying to manipulate...I just can't understand why. He was pretty damn clear 4-5 weeks ago that I wasn't worth anything, not even respect...so what is up? Is this man crazy? NPD? Help,please.
Now, I can't be sure of this, but I'm sure others will tell you their more experienced viewpoints.
Good luck with things. I do feel you as I'm right there on this roller coaster of craziness.
And I don't want either of us to be swept under that... we both deserve more...you hear me?
It's more than likely that the Unicorn and Rainbow parade he and his side piece had going suddenly hit a speed bump in the road. For whatever reason, they've had a sudden parting of the ways. Selfish user that he is, you all of a sudden look real good to him, once more.
That is, until she crooks her finger at him again.
Then you'll be right back to where you were 5 or 6 weeks ago while these two chuckle heads make up.
Let me tell you something. If their oh so wonderful 'relationship' was so valuable to him that he left you and didn't shed a tear, then these two aren't done.
Not by a long shot.
I'd continue ignoring him. He doesn't DESERVE your respect.
After all the cruelty he has dispensed you probably want to have nothing more to do with him. Thats the route I would take, but, obviously thats your decision to make.
"If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment."

Clair de Lune – "Introduction to…" DEMO (2012)
Independent Release
Review by Davide Torresan
It's always nice to discover new bands like this one. Clair De lune tries with this "Introduction to…" to make itself known outside of their country, El Salvador. After some changes in the line-up and in the band's name, they reached a stable line-up. Their musical style is certainly not classic since they can boast the presence of a violinist, an opera singer and a growler in the group. From these 3 elements I was expecting a gothic metal band, but I was wrong. They do a particular type of symphonic metal with a touch of ordinary madness. I'd say that we are dealing with an avant-garde metal band.
"Introduction to …", whose cover immediately reminded me the one of "Angels Fall First" by Nightwish, is a demo with only 4 songs that explain directly to the listener the abilities of Clair De Lune. Although the band name is clearly inspired by "Moonlight Sonata" of Beethoven, the atmospheres of this demo are not really calm. After a short orchestrated "Intro", the very first song makes its appearance: "Soul Mirror". Continue reading »
Karkaos – "In Burning Skies" EP (2011)
Independent Release
Review by Tony Cannella
Karkaos are an interesting band to come out of Canada. On their debut 6-song, 25-minute EP the band comes at you fast and heavy with an aggressive metal sound. Their vocalist Veronica Ortiz Rodriguez does an excellent job in going from death growls to clean vocals ala Alissa White Glutz from another Canadian band The Agonist. Karkaos has been described as Death Metal or Metalcore which I'm not sure is fully accurate. It no doubt stems from the vocals – even though Veronica Ortiz Rodriguez has way more to offer than just senseless death grunts, you can just feel the aggression in her voice. Musically there is a bit of a classic metal influence, some guitar harmonies and a full time keyboardist which is rare for this type of band. Sure "In Burning Skies" is pretty much straight forward, no fooling around metal, but they also add some melodic touches into the mix. After the brief intro "Catharsis", Karkaos launch into the aggressive "Awaiting the Clock's Last Turn". This is the perfect introduction to Karkaos. The classic metal riffs are there and Veronica is an excellent front woman who packs plenty of power in her voice. Next we have "Ashes", which is slower in tempo but still heavy and the inclusion of keyboards gives the song a pretty cool atmosphere. There are also some clean male vocals included in this song. "The Last Stand" is next and is my favorite. It starts off with a bit of a Celtic influence before blasting into full on heaviness. The final two songs "Lie for a Lie" and "The Tempest" brings "In Burning Skies" to satisfying conclusion. While "In Burning Skies" is just a taste of what Karkaos has to offer. The real test however, is when they release a full-length album to see if they can sustain the level of consistency on "In Burning Skies". "In Burning Skies" is good – not great – but it is a nice start for this young Canadian band.

Cuatro Gatos – "Me Arriesgaré" (2010)
Label : Avispa Music
Review by Tony Cannella
Spain's Cuatro Gatos formed in 2001. Thus far, they have released three full-length albums and now their newest acoustic album, which is called "Me Arriesgaré". Incidentally, the name Cuatro Gatos when translated into English means Four Cats, yet there are six members in the band, go figure. Among the material you will find on this release is 52-minutes worth of mostly acoustic music, all of which is sung in the bands native Spanish language. The majority of the vocals are handled by the male vocalist, Juanmi Rodriguez (he is quite the instrumentalist as he also contributes keyboards and guitars). Female vocalist Covadonga Martínez is not featured as prominently as the male but she does a great job when called upon. The biggest surprise for me was the song "Al Final del Mundo", which is a cover of the Nightwish song "The Islander" sung in Spanish. Aside from that the majority of the material is quite strong and consistent for the most part. Spain keeps contributing some great bands to the Metal universe, and while the newest release from Cuatro Gatos is not strictly metal, it is beautifully done. It definitely has me curious about their earlier material.

Tonight at 11: Local News Is Killing Your Funny Bone
Good evening, Internet -- we're back with this month's edition of funny news bloopers.
Good evening, Internet -- we're back with this month's edition of funny news bloopers.
Admit it, you aren't watching local news for the hard-hitting facts -- you're watching because the bloopers are downright hilarious. For all its virtues, live TV has an infinite number of pitfalls which any unsuspecting anchor or reporter can fall into. May's bloopers may even be worse/funnier than April's supercut, which is a hard feat to manage.
The fear of an approaching fire can't compare to the flames in this guy's heart.
April's best news bloopers saw humping bunnies, blood-curdling shrieks and an unfortunate incident involving barbecue sauce
Just because you're responsible for reporting the news doesn't mean you can't be the news. News anchors and reporters alike made plenty of headlines this year for their gaffes, hot mic snafus and awkward on-camera moments. See also: TV Reporter's Double F-Bomb Leaves News Anchor Speechless While the slip-ups may go down in YouTube infamy, some cost journalists their jobs.
Many rogue news anchors have spewed f-bombs or battled co-workers in on-screen fights, but the best news gaffes don't always happen in the forefront. Sometimes it's the people standing in the background who are most memorable -- and it's even better when the reporters have no clue. See also: Top 10 YouTube News Bloopers Here, we've compiled epic instances of bystanders videobombing on-air news reporters.
This TV news blooper is pretty hilarious, but it's the anchor's stunned reaction that really puts it over the top.
When this news anchor goes to tell a story about her son using a vibrating toothbrush to ease the pain of teething, she accidentally gets a little too raunchy for live television, if you catch our drift. SEE ALSO: Here's the Best Worst On-Air Reporting in January The awkward sexual moments that transpire may mark the best TV blooper in broadcast existence. Props to her co-anchor for not throwing a "That's what she said" out there.
In a clip that went viral on the sports web Wednesday, this TV reporter has some tough medicine for a drunken Super Bowl reveler.
Reporting live from Nowheresland: This is a journalist who can't get rid of the giggles. Live television is almost asking for some epic mishaps and bloopers -- ask any on-air news anchor or reporter. Just because they call action, doesn't mean everyone is set to go. And the best occasions are when the journalists aren't aware the cameras are rolling and America gets to watch its local TV reporter embarrass themselves into television history.
A news blooper that went viral Tuesday features a woman making a odd -- and seemingly unintentional -- non sequitor about her and the vacuum cleaner man.
Meet the Univision weather cat, setting a new standard for news blooper cuteness as it wanders on camera during a live barometric breakdown.
We spend a lot of time here at Mashable finding the very best videos that the Internet has to offer. It's a tough job wading though hundreds of thousands of videos, but we're committed to finding the ones we think are truly deserving of your viewing attention. If you don't already have plans to see friends, family or take in the great outdoors, then this is the perfect reason to spend the weekend with your computer.

"He stopped short, Mommy, right in front of me," my daughter blurted through the phone. I knew from the moment she called me "Mommy" that something was up.
She continued, "I braked but I couldn't stop..."
"And?" I was forced to ask.
"We had an accident." She croaked, her voice breaking into a sob.
"Was anybody hurt?" I asked, concerned.
"No," she replied. "You know I love you."
"So, you rear-ended the guy," I said, getting angry. "What was he driving?"
"A taxi," she managed to get out through her victimized whaling. "Can we talk about it when I get home? I'm on my way."
My mind was spinning with the possible dollar amounts my insurance might go up now that my 17 year-old had been at fault in an accident. Goodbye Louboutan shoes, goodbye... I'll be too old to wear you when this is over.
When Rachel got home she had a renewed sense of confidence, "I got his information, Mom, and I took pictures with my phone!" Unfortunately, she had only taken down the other drivers' first name and phone number, and the photos were of her car, not his.
"Rachel, honey, we have your car. We know the damage. It's the other guy's car we need the photo of to make sure he doesn't damage it worse after your accident." Her slight nod and faraway look gave me slim hope that she understood. Raising a teenage daughter is definitely not mentioned in What to Expect When You're Expecting.

What is the importance and significance of lotus(kamal ke phool)?
Asked by Ramesh Agarwal, 02 Mar '09 09:50 pm
Earn 10 points for answering
Answers (2)
Among its many meanings and significance, the lotus is a symbol of "spontaneous" generation, and so it also represents divine birth, spiritual development and creation itself. The bud of the lotus symbolizes potential, specifically of a spiritual nature. Because the lotus rises from unclean water to blossom as a pure, uncontaminated flower, it is a symbol of purity and resurrection. In the same way the lotus flower goes through much in its growth before emerging from dirty water to become a beautiful flower, the individual consciousness does the same on its path to enlightenment as the so-called impurities of unenlightened thinking gradually fade.As a holy symbol in Indian culture and a sacred symbol of Hinduism, the lotus is found throughout the Hindu scriptures. Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe in these scriptures, and Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe in these scriptures, are depicted sitting in a lotus.

synthetic backupA synthetic backup is identical to a regular full backup in terms of data, but it is created when data is collected from a previous, older full backup and assembled with subsequent incremental backups. The incremental backup will consist only of changed information. A synthetic backup would be used when time or system requirements do not allow for a full complete backup. The end result of combining a recent full backup archive with incremental backup data is two kinds of files which is merged by a backup application to create the synthetic backup. Benefits to using a synthetic backup include a smaller amount of time needed to perform a backup, and system restore times and costs are reduced. This backup procedure is called "synthetic" because it is not a backup created from original data.

Homeowner found dead in driveway
Published On: Dec 18 2012 11:07:27 AM CST
Updated On: Dec 18 2012 11:41:21 AM CST
Updated On: Dec 18 2012 11:41:21 AM CST
A homeowner was found dead in his northeast Houston driveway Tuesday.
Houston police said the body of the 57-year-old man was found in the 4300 block of Wayne near Gregory at 7 a.m. He appeared to have been bludgeoned to death and possibly stabbed, officers said.
Investigators want to talk to a woman and a man who were staying at the house with the homeowner. Officials said the victim was letting a female friend stay there and she brought in another male. They are missing and considered "persons of interest," officials said.
The victim's name was not released.

Recommendations for a general cookbook
- o
- Oistrakh12 Aug 6, 2011 07:01 PM
I will be moving into a new place in the fall for graduate school, and will probably be cooking most of my meals. I'm a fairly novice cook, so I'm looking for a decent introductory/general cookbook that would cover a wide spectrum. I'm trying to decide between the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, How to Cook Everything (Bittman), the Joy of Cooking, and the New Best-Recipe Cookbook. Also "Cooking" by James Peterson seems interesting, as it seems to teach cooking techniques. I really like the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook for its design and presentation, but I don't really know about the quality of the food. What does everyone here use and what would you guys recommend?
re: bayoucook
Sorry, bayoucook, I don't own Joy of Cooking anymore - I owned the initial edition, plus one more later; I've never liked it.
But I do recommend Bittman's "How to Cook Everything" for a general cookbook.
I think his recipes are generally very easy, and covers a broad spectrum of both traditional and modern methods of cooking.
re: bayoucook
I do recall one redeeming technique - gravy! (If I'm not mistaken - it's been a few decades.)
re: bayoucook
I have 3 different editions that sit on the shelf.
For years, the 1975 edition of Joy of Cooking was my bible and I learned most of what I know about the basics from it. Newer editions have had mixed reviews but I believe the most recent edition is supposed to be pretty good. If you can find the 1975 edition on half.com or something I'd highly recommend it. The 1997 edition was widely criticized but the 2006 version was well received so I'd recommend that one as well.
The Best Recipe from Cook's Illustrated is also great but not as extensive. Also recommended because they test a million different ways to do everything and make all the mistakes for you.
Bittman's great and a smart guy but he has peculiar, New Yorky tastes and you may not find his recipes to your liking.
re: acgold7
Same with me. I have the original and the 2006 one. Use only the new one now, more updated.
re: bayoucook
I have not been able to update my well-used copy of the book that I learned to cook from. (I keep this picture for nostalgia reasons.) Here is a picture - my alternative to others' Joy.
Looking online, I see there were at least 4 or 5 others that agreed with me.
re: bayoucook
Me too with JOC. I have 3 editions, actually. The edition that came right before the latest is my least fave. and it fell apart very quickly as well. There were numerous editions before the 1974 ed. That is the edition I learned with.
I suspect that a younger cook will prefer a book from Bittman, or even CI though.
re: sueatmo
Me, an "older cook," quite older, prefers Bittman, and CI.
But, young at heart.
re: sueatmo
Unless you need to learn the basics about ingredients and cooking, you might want to try some other author. He's carb/sugar heavy and even when not, his recipes are really pedestrian, IME.
re: sueatmo
I'll sell you my copy of HTCE.
re: sueatmo
I have and enjoy them both, for different reasons. Have used Bittman far more, although much less over the years. I'd certainly steer clear of the '74 JOC for a first-time book in 2011.
re: roxlet
+1 on this. It really saves you from making mistakes. Some of the recipes spare no calories, of course, but they are almost all delicious. I find the cooking times and temperatures for meats (and their resting times) especially helpful.
re: acgold7
second that - love each one for what it brings to the table - haha pun intended
re: Oistrakh12
It's fine, nothing wrong with it at all. Not sure I'd have it as my only cookbook, though.
re: Oistrakh12
i'm deviating from everyone here, it seems. get the BHG. it's geared toward average cooks doing a recipe for the first time, and the recipes are clear, forgiving, tasty, and always work. there are good step by step illustrations.
the ATK is not actually geared toward beginners, it is anti-helpful for a beginning cook unless the cook is seriously OCD.
bittman is okay, if your tastes are similar to his, but let's face it he's kind of an outlier.
joy of cooking is a book that everyone who is older than you is emotionally invested in because blah blah our first meal as a married couple was the chicken on page 268 and i still have the book with the splatters, i was so nervous, yadda yadda. smile and nod. the thing is *dated.* there's a lot of good stuff in JOY, but look for a copy at a used bookstore or a garage sale and don't get it as your first or only cookbook.
i don't know anything about NBR cookbook.
james peterson is brilliant. much more so than bittman. even so, i would get a different 1st cookbook so you can get your legs under you, and save your pennies for his book, "cooking," or ask for it as a gift or something, so that you have a little experience and can learn from this book better.
re: soupkitten
My wife does not really cook, nor does she like to. She can fix five different meals. Four are in the BHG, which I never use. It seems to suit her.
re: soupkitten
I agree about being somewhat invested in JOC, but I want to remind you that there is a recent edition of this out there. You wouldn't have to obtain the 1974 ed.
I also used a BH&G Cookbook from the early seventies.
while not strictly a cookbook....i have found Alton Brown's book-- Gear for Your Kitchen very useful...
Those are all very good books. If I had to choose one, I would probably go with "Joy of Cooking".
However those books can be pretty daunting because they are large books. If you are not afraid of reading and have the time, "The Americas Test Kitchen Family Cookbook" would be another excellent option. It has lots of explanations.
You may want to consider buying a smaller introductory book, especially considering how little time you will have to read cookbooks. I would look into "Cooking for dummies", and "How to cook without a book" by Pam Anderson. Cooking for dummies is surprisingly helpful. It talks about all the cooking techniques like frying, roasting, braising, stewing, steaming and broiling. Once you know those techniques and when they are used, you know quite a bit about cooking.
"How to cook without a book" is geared for beginners and people that don't have a lot of time. It also teaches how to throw something together from the pantry.. a very useful skill.
Learn a few pasta dishes. They reheat well and they are quick and cheap. Learn how to cook eggs. There is nothing easier and cheaper than scrambled eggs and whatever leftover meat you have, including Vienna Sausages, although I prefer just plain breakfast sausage.
Learn some rice dishes. Casseroles work well. Risottos and pilafs are good and cheap and quick. Pilafs are easier than risottos.
Finally, learn to stirfry. It is quick, cheap...even healthy.
Hope that helps.
Joy of Cooking definitely if you are looking for the basics. I would put How to Cook Everything on your short list too, though, for as soon as you have space/money. It has a lot of good ideas as well.
re: suburban_mom
I really don't like Bittman's food column or his recipes much, but on the strength of it as a primer, I bought HTCE for my daughter when she moved out, and she learned a lot about technique and cooking and became a very adventurous and confident cook by using it til she outgrew it. I used an old copy of Joy for many years as a young cook, can recommend it, too. Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa is great for learning techniques and for making the daunting easy, so her Back to Basics might be worth checking out, but I doubt it's as exhaustive as the others.
I currently like "The Complete America's Test Kitchen Cookbook 2001-2011." http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Americ...
Back in the '70s, my general cookbook was the then-current trade paperback version of Joy of Cooking. I got a lot out of Bon Appetit magazine, c. 1978-1984, as well.
When I first started cooking, I used epicurious a lot. I'd find out what was on sale, then look up recipes on using their search engine. I learned a lot that way, fairly quickly, and tried a lot of different things. That and using the library before you make a decision might be a good way to go.
re: LulusMom
Epicurious is great, and the ratings comments can be very instructive as well, I've found.
I cannot speak to the content in any Cook's Country or America's Test Kitchen cookbooks, but I own several of their periodicals and watch the shows all the time. America's Test Kitchen Best of Baking is sitting in my dvd player as we speak. I would encourage any novice cook to pick up pretty much anything they've published or produced. Like acgold7 said, they do TONS of test and make all of the mistakes for you. And they explain why one thing doesn't work and why another does. This kind of knowledge is what takes you from cookbook cooking to cooking without a cookbook.
There is one cookbook that I buy for wedding presents and the number one recommendation I give whenever someone tells me they don't know how to cook and want to learn. That book is In the Green Kitchen: Techniques to Learn by Heart. It gives a good primer on how to stock your kitchen to start. Then it gives you relatively simple recipes meant to be simple enough that once you cook them or twice, you will no longer need to read them from the book. You will know them by heart. What I love about this book is that there are lots of suggested variations. I find that a lot of novice cooks get stuck cooking a recipe only one way, rather than thinking outside of the box and looking for substitutions that are already sitting their fridge (or pantry, or garden). Check this one out at your local library and I bet you'll want to invest the money to buy it!
And my two cents... Don't both with any of those huge tomes of cookery knowledge. They are so overwhelming at first. Stick with smaller books for now.
re: isntsheclever
Isn't She Clever: "And my two cents... Don't both with any of those huge tomes of cookery knowledge. They are so overwhelming at first. Stick with smaller books for now."
I agree. I learned more about cooking the food I really love by reading both Giuliano Bugialli's and Marcella Hazan's first books. After I'd read these, Joy kind of got relegated to occasional "look up how to cook unfamiliar ingredients Marcella doesn't mention" status.
The most important thing I learned from Marcella: not to be married to my shopping list, but rather to be able to compose a menu as I shop. I've always done that, ever since.
And Giuliano gave me the good pasta recipe.
re: isntsheclever
I haven't read "Green Kitchen" but I was somewhat impressed with the table of contents and it's rating on Amazon.
The only thing I didn't like was that it was only about 150 pages and the cheapest I could find it was about $12 used.
"Cooking for dummies" and "How to cook without a book" are both longer, cheaper and both are very well rated books.
re: isntsheclever
I really liked In the Green Kitchen. It is very basic without being condescending. How to dress a salad, how to cook an egg, how to roast a chicken, etc.
But, some of the recipes are pretty ingredient dependent. I'm thinking of the David Chang tofu and tomato recipe with Perilla. Perilla isn't necessarily easy to come by. Or the recipe with the Japanese turnips.
Still, I thought it was a very nice book. I'm just not sure I would recommend it as someone's primary book or to someone who doesn't have access to a lot of specialized ingredients (mostly produce, I guess). But, as a secondary book, I think it's terrific.
Hi guys, OP here. I don't plan on using this general cookbook everyday, since I plan to mostly cook asian food (I have cookbooks for that), but I would still like a cookbook for "American" food. I went to my local bookstore, and the Joy of Cooking seems very daunting and dense. I prefer the feel and design of the BHG new cookbook. I probably would prefer a more technique-oriented book and smaller book, such as "How to Cook Without a Book" or "Martha Stewart's Cooking School." Does anyone have any suggestions for something along those lines?
re: Oistrakh12
go to Amazon and see What to Eat and How To Cook It by Jane Hornby. Looks really good and may be close to what you are looking for.
re: Oistrakh12
Library! Go take out a few different things, and see what ends up getting used the most, or appealing to you the most.
re: LulusMom
That's what I was going to suggest! Even if a book isn't on the shelf, you can order it through the cooperative system. Read them, use some recipes and choose the one that speaks to you in the language you like best. Even though I always recommend Bittman to beginners, I don't like him or his recipes, only the way he teaches about ingredients to total neophytes.
re: Oistrakh12
get the book that appeals to you, that's the one you'll be excited to cook from. a book that seems boring or intimidating will sit on the shelf. i really do think the BHG is probably the best book for what you are looking for. unlike other beginner's cookbooks i will still go back to BHG and use the recipes because they work so well. i have no idea where my JOY is, don't miss it.
re: Oistrakh12
At 512 pages "Martha Stewart's Cooking School" seems pretty daunting itself.
re: Oistrakh12
I bought both of my sisters-in-law the BHG new cookbook. One sister-in-law is Nepalese, and the other is American; both find it extremely useful, as do I, when I need to check something basic. It's easy to use, easy to find recipes, accurate, and fairly comprehensive. Go with your instincts - get BHG!
re: Oistrakh12
Well, if you want a smaller, technique oriented book, actually the recommendation above for "In the Green Kitchen" might actually be solid. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8002... I think LuluMom's recommendation below for going to the library and checking out a couple of books is a good one. Or, if you don't think you have time to try out a bunch of books, you could just go to your local bookstore (Barnes and Noble, etc.) and flip through them and decide what appeals to you. You can also see the table of contents to In the Green Kitchen on Amazon.com's "Look Inside" feature.
How to Cook Everything was a "Cookbook of the Month" awhile back. You could browse those threads if you wish. I think reviews were pretty mixed. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/698815
Another option is something by Jamie Oliver. Maybe Jamie's Food Revolution, which is defintely oriented to beginners, with full-color step by step photos and a photo of the finished dish. It's a smaller book. Not super comprehensive (like HTCE) but a really good starting point for lots of techniques with recipes that are nearly all winners. He doesn't come right out and tell you, " now we're learning technique x", but he exposes you to most very gently. You can search on "revolution" in this thread to get a sense of some of the recipes in this book. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7691... Unfortunately, you can't "Look Inside" of JFR on Amazon, but you can read the reader reviews. (I always sort them by "most helpful"). I can't recite the sections, but he covers pasta, stir-fries, curry, stews, roasts, and desserts.
re: The Dairy Queen
And Cook with Jamie is a really good book. I've had many successes with it. I think the idea is he is giving you lots of different kinds of foods and trying to make you a great home cook. I like this book a heck of a lot. I don't think it would be in the Jamie Oliver cookbook of the month thread, but you could look at the adjunct thread and find some recipe reviews. And truly, nothing I've made from the Naked Chef books has been at all difficult. Good call, TDQ.
re: LulusMom
Also, I think "Jamie's Kitchen" is actually intended to be a cooking course. From the Amazon.com description: "Some of the cooking techniques included are making salads, cooking without heat, poaching and boiling, steaming, stewing and braising, roasting, grilling, and baking."... "Jamie includes tips on how to take recipes in new directions and how to be an inspired grocery shopper-spotting what's good, what's in season, and what's a good value. Most important, Jamie encourages budding cooks to have confidence and a sense of independence, and to be master of the kitchen!" I haven't cooked from this book a ton, but I think the recipes (and ingredients) are going to be a bit more "upscale"/gourmet than the ones in Jamie's Food Revolution, which is home style.
Here are the chapters from JFR:
Essentials (ie stocking your kitchen and pantry)
Twenty Minute Meals
Quick Pasta
Tasty Stir-fries
Easy Curries
Lovin' Salads
Simple Soups
Homely ground beef (that is, a bunch of things you can do with ground beef)
Comforting Stews
Family Roast Dinners (here's where you learn how to roast a chicken. every beginners cookbook has to show you how... he also shows you beef, lamb, pork, etc.)
Delish Veggies
Quick-cooking Meat and Fish
Classic FIsh
Kick-start breakfasts
Sweet things
Several JO books were cookbook of the month earlier this year. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7691... And he's got a pretty robust website. Just so you can get a sense of the guy. http://www.jamieoliver.com/
re: The Dairy Queen
I was just going to mention the website, which has quite a few recipes on it, and might be a fun starting point. I can highly recommend the Bloke's Pasta (something like that). It is easy, and it is a huge hit with everyone I've served it to.
I'd recommend Cooking by James Peterson if you want to learn how to cook. Joy of Cooking has recipes for anything you'd want to cook, but I don't think you'll necessarily learn "how to cook" with that book.
I think LulusMom has a great idea- borrow a few from the library and see which one feels right and speaks to you.
That said, my stained and battered (sometimes literally) old copy of Joy Of Cooking has been, over the years, by far my most-used cookbook. IMO if you could only get one, this is the one to get. Classic and encyclopedic. Every cook should have a copy, I agree with bayoucook..
Once you've got your feet under you,.and feel a bit more secure in the kitchen, get Bittman too. I recently gave HTCE to my son, deviating from a generations-long tradition in the family of giving Joy to one's kids. But he's confident and experienced, already been cooking for a number of years. And I'll give him a reference copy of Joy someday, too.
Another way to go is the "Good Cook" series by- I think it was Time-Life, but it's been a while. This was a series of books on individual topics, with very detailed instructions and a lot of photos (of things in progress, not just finished dishes), covering most of the basics. The whole series got pretty pricey, but they're probably easily available used by now, or maybe in a cheaper digital format. Also, if you wanted to focus on a particular area, such as meat or desserts.
My old fave for a general cookbook is Louis DeGouy's "Gold Cookbook", now hopelessly dated and hard to find, but Mom used it too...
HTCE. Not sure what would make that title an outlier or New Yorky. Definitely has limitations, and you'll definitely outgrow it. But bang for the buck, educational, and filled with basic principles? Yessur.
I think the Joy of Cooking is a good reference book but I don't think it is good for true beginners. It is dense, overwhelming, no pictures . . . . I have it but honestly have never cooked from it.
My recommendation is always the original "Barefoot Contessa" cookbook.
I find it easy to use, not overwhelming, simple ingredient lists, an easy mix of recipes to start with, easy techniques, great inspiring pictures, and every recipe (at least in this book of hers) turns out great. I think it is the perfect beginner book.
1. "The New Fannie Farmer", edited / revised by Marion Cunningham. There simply isn't a better "starter" on the market. Covers most things without overwhelming you by covering everything. Clear instructions. Basic introductory info to all types of foos without inundating with stuff the newbie would never try.
2. Julia Child's "The Way To Cook". Work your way through this one, and you'll be a good home cook. Emphasis on technique to a degree, but done by having master recipes then variations. Amply cross-referenced.
3. Betty Crocker. The first cookbook my mother owned when she was first married. Still probably the best of the "name brand" basic cookbooks.
"How to Cook Everything" is overrated and probably not for a newbie. "Joy of Cooking" is one where I never understood its popularity. And anybody who would give a newbie anything by Chris Kimball's nutty crowd isn't doing them any favors.
re: jmckee
Just out of curiosity, what don't you like about the ATK peeps? There seem to be a few people who think that's the wrong direction to send a novice...
re: isntsheclever
I'm not impressed the Kimball's stuff either. I have used the recipes on occasion and they seem so involved. Even following the instructions carefully, you might not get good results. I enjoy reading about how they arrive at their techniques, but I am not sure they can always be duplicated in my kitchen.
re: sueatmo
The last recipe I used this July was in the 2005 cookbook Chicken Paillard (or Peyard?).
What I do on any recipe is to break it down (whether it is ATK or others) and write it up, print it out, and add notes of my own on it for next time if it is successful.
With ATK, it takes a little more time to separate the chat. But I had a good time with the recipe, reading it, watching the DVD to actually see the product being made, then making it myself.
Granted, it is a simple recipe, but I feel I would've not got the end result otherwise. Dear Husband is more capable of undertanding a recipe's intent and end result than I, so perhaps it takes two in our house and maybe I wouldn't enjoy it so much otherwise - just musing.
re: isntsheclever
Their conceit of all their recipes being the "best ever". Their somewhat deceptive and sneaky business practices. Their sometimes involved and sometimes bizarre methodolgies in their recipes -- the example that pushed me over the edge was making lemonade by mashing lemon slices with a potato masher. I just think they are off on a side track, by themselves, out of the mainstream of good cooking.
re: jmckee
The one problem I have with them is their recommendations. I perk up when they do a taste test, but I disagree many times with their recommendation of cooking tools. My main problem is that I so disagree with one of their sponsored products that it does taint my 100% acceptance of their 'best ever' judgment.
re: jmckee
I don't take it as best ever. I take it as the best they could get it after a great deal of experimentation. Also, in the beginning they tell you why they want to make it better, and what qualities they hope to achieve with it. I've never had a failure from using one of their recipes. I didn't suggest this book to the OP because I figured he/she was more interested in getting quick but tasty meals on the table rather than spending lots of time and needing more equipment to make *the best* recipe.
re: isntsheclever
I have issues with them too, in fact I recently canceled my subscription and quit watching their show after years of watching their shows, owning a few of their cookbooks and being an online subscriber.
Their taste testing never reflects my own taste.
I find Chris Kimball completely annoying.
Their recipes reach the point of obsessive detail, even though I do have a few that I use regularly and like.
I don't understand their yankee mentality or emphasis on cheapest cost in buying cookware
Their bbq is a joke every recipe spends at least 1/2 it's time in the oven
Adam the kitchen tool and gadget guy was my favorite but he has reviewed things where he clearly didn't take the time to truly learn how a different product worked compared to what he was used to.
Bridget and her contant "that's right" comment is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
re: rasputina
Referring to "Bridget and her contant "that's right" comment is like nails on a chalkboard to me."
I'd never thought about comment before, but there are some words that cooks use constantly; such as "beautiful," that can grate. It's hard any more for me to not groan when someone says "YUM!" When they roll their eyes while saying "YUM," that's really difficult :-)))
The Joy of Cooking. Be careful which edition. I still refer to mine.
I also love the illustrations in The Way to Cook, Pepin's Complete Techniques and LaVarenne Pratique. Sometimes a show me is helpful when you're learning.
Also some of Jamie Oliver's books are good. The Ministry of food, while not a general cookbook like Joy, attests anyone can learn to cook in 24 hours!
re: financialdistrictresident
I think one reason I loved JOC so much was for its information. I came from a tiny, rural town in Mississippi and loved cooking, but I had never heard of, say, lemongrass (and so many more) - it educated me and taught me much when I left home for good at 18. Do I use it as much as I used to, having mastered quite a few cuisines? No. But we have a hallowed past!
re: bayoucook
I haven't looked at my copy of JOC for years, but I'm pretty sure it's the only cookbook I have with pictures and instructions for skinning a squirrel for cooking... :-)
For a novice cook and from your list, I would recommend the "Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook". The book provides technique and basic recipes. Also, as you mentioned the layour is pretty good. Another book to look for is the Betty Crocker cookbook
Next would be "How to Cook Everything".
Joy of Cooking... I'm over this book. It's a compendium of so-so recipes. It may be a good reference book, but it would be on the bottom of my list. My suggestion is to borrow the book from the library to see if it's something you'll want to buy. Also, if you have a local Goodwill or thrift store, you may find a copy for under $5, same with the Betty Crocker Cookbook.
The last two books I'm not familiar with.
Don't bother with New Best Recipes. They aren't that good. If you just want to eat and not make a project out of it, Better Homes and Gardens has recipes that work and are what folks eat.
Another approach is to look at Pioneer Woman Cooks, allrecipes, Simply Recipes, and epicurius - all on-line.
re: yayadave
This is a book I recommend to my beginner students. It is a great book for learning and practicing techniques:
The book is available used on Amazon for a very good price and it has the look inside feature so you can see if it meets your needs before you buy it.
I second the vote for Jaime's Food Revolution. Every recipe has a picture (until i was an experienced cook I avoided books without pictures), the tone is very reassuring and not at all snooty. More complicated recipes have picture cooking instructions. The recipes are very homey, don't use expensive ingredients and reheat well so you can cook a few meals on the weekend to eat the rest of the week. Perfect for a student IMO.
NBR's is too labour intensive (although I've had delicious results) for an inexperienced cook and HTCE is great to have on hand if you can stand to live out of the index - only a serious foodie would read a book that size. Although I agree that some of HTCE's recipes give inexplicably bland results, if you actually read the book you will become the kind of cook that can revive any recipe. I've read it (yes, dork) and have found it priceless for cooking with what I have on hand. Once you get a decent amount of condiments, you can defrost anything and make something great with the usual pantry staples: garlic, onions, potatoes etc.
Of course, i have to put in a good word for Donna Hay. I have all her books and love them... teh recipes are simple and I always get great results, but I cook from them less often because they reheat less well and many require a trip to the grocery store. (My grocery budget explodes whenever she releases a new one!) Two to consider, esp if you can find them used - the photos are gorgeous:

A Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska teenager was killed in a one-vehicle rollover crash Friday afternoon.
The Saunders County Sheriff's Department has identified the teen as 17-year-old Desire Gasper.
Saunders County Sheriff Kevin Stukenholtz told Channel 6 News it happened on County Road Y near Fremont just before 1:30 p.m. "It appeared she did not stop for the stop sign, she lost control and over-steered and rolled the vehicle."
Gasper was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. "Accidents are probably gonna happen, if you wear your seat belt you are gonna increase your chances of surviving by a great deal," said Sheriff Stukenholtz. "The damage to the vehicle, if she would have been wearing her seat belt she possibly could have walked away from the accident."
Those who live nearby said it's a dangerous road. The sheriff said it can be even more dangerous when vehicles travel too fast and speed was a factor in this accident.
Friends stopped at the scene to pay their respects. "Her personality was skyrocketing, she was the most amazing person that you could think about," said friend Brittany Hall. "She is always fun, she talked a lot."
Investigators are awaiting autopsy results.

Southlake — While the grand opening is not until January, public safety officials are putting the DPS North facility to good use.An engine crew moved in and and has worked out of the facility on 100 E. Dove Road since Nov. 25.Fire Chief Michael Starr said the crew has been receiving calls from the facility and also is helping work out some kinks like lighting and a working oven.The fire department is already seeing the advantages of having a crew at the facility. Having an engine stationed at the northern part of the city means response times to calls are shortened. Starr said in the case of a cardiac arrest, brain death occurs within four to six minutes and having a crew stationed more north they can reduce their times."It really increases our ability to save lives up there," he said.Lt. Mike Leonard moved from the west facility and noticed a few differences."The workout facility we have here is a lot better than west," he said. The room features new equipment and like the rest of the building has a new smell.Leonard also prefers the layout of the facility saying that making way from the bunks to the engine bay is smoother. Little things like structuring how personnel get to the fire engine can cut seconds off response times.The facility is shared by fire and police personnel.The city is focusing on the facility's training capabilities. The building houses two classrooms and an auditorium that has a maximum capacity of 266."Nowhere in the city do we have this many seats," Deputy Fire Chief Wade Carroll said.The facility also has a gun range that police officers can so that they don't have to leave the city for target practice.Police Lt. Ashleigh Douglas said the benefits of having the training resources are huge. It allows officers to train on a more flexible schedule, stay in the city and the departments can house regionwide training opportunities.

Antonis Samaras has morphed into Europe's main hope for a stable government in Greece after having been the biggest irritant.
Head of the New Democracy party topping polls before the May 6 election, Samaras rejected Greece's first bailout as the nation teetered on the verge of default two years ago. He then resisted spending cuts designed to keep aid flowing and prevent economic collapse. His brinkmanship led European Commission President Jose Barroso to tell Samaras last November to stop playing "political games."
Since then, the 60-year-old Samaras has met European demands to support budget discipline beyond the life of Greece's current caretaker administration. In addition, his calls for policies to spur economic growth are being echoed across Europe as it re-evaluates a German-led focus on fiscal austerity amid concerns Spain may be forced to follow Greece, Ireland and Portugal into seeking emergency aid.
"I think pragmatism will prevail," Janis Emmanouilidis, of the European Policy Centre in Brussels, said in an interview. At the same time, "Samaras may not get the benefit of the doubt. The perception emerged outside Greece that he was obstructing certain policies and putting party and individual interests above national interests."
Polls show New Democracy may end up as the largest party in an election that isn't likely to provide a clear winner, forcing New Democracy into a deal with the socialist Pasok party.
Record Unemployment
That would put Samaras in charge of an economy that has shrunk more than 13 percent over the past three years and pushed unemployment to a record high of almost 22 percent. With Greece dependent on bailout funds from the euro area and the International Monetary Fund to stay in the euro, the next government will need to find cuts worth 5.5 percent of gross domestic product in 2013 and 2014.
"We accept fully the goal of reducing the deficit," Samaras said on April 22 in a speech in Athens. "But to reduce deficit and debt, to be able to exploit state assets and to proceed to structural change, there must be growth, as soon as possible."
Samaras appealed to Greeks yesterday for enough support to enable New Democracy to govern without having to enter into an alliance with Pasok.
Premier for All Greeks
"Whatever you have voted in the past, it doesn't matter," Samaras told thousands of supporters waving Greek flags at his main Athens rally. "I will be a prime minister for all of you. I will fight for each one of you, with all my strength, day and night."
His new stance contrasts with the intransigent tone struck over the past two years as he railed against the terms imposed by international creditors, prompting rebukes from German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean- Claude Juncker.
A champion tennis player in his youth, Samaras abandoned New Democracy almost 20 years ago when he founded a party to capitalize on a dispute with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia over its name. The issue is sensitive for Greeks because of concerns it implies a claim on the northern region in Greece, also called Macedonia.
Midnight Votes
He rejoined New Democracy about a decade later and took over as leader when it was ousted by Pasok in 2009. Samaras then spent the next two years trying to thwart Prime Minister George Papandreou in a string of knife-edge midnight votes -- as Papandreou's own Pasok support crumbled -- and Greece tried to meet the terms of the international bailout agreed in May 2010.
Now rivals, both Samaras and Papandreou attended Amherst College in the U.S. in 1970 and 1971, before which, they had been friends at high school in Athens.
As Greece edged toward economic collapse, Samaras eventually agreed to support a technocratic government last year led by Lucas Papademos. The new administration then negotiated a second rescue package alongside the biggest debt restructuring in history.
Now, Samaras may be starting to realize it's time to ditch his earlier "populist" policies, Elmar Brok, a German member of the European Parliament, said in a phone interview.
"I think Samaras understands that this is a real chance for Greece to come out of the mess," said Brok. "He is a very intelligent and committed man."
Deficit Crisis
Samaras may lead his party back into power less than three years afterPapandreou announced that New Democracy misstated the country's budget deficit while in office, sparking a region- wide debt crisis still ricocheting through European markets.
While New Democracy took the initial blame, Greece's spending gap, which in 2009 exceeded 15 percent of GDP, was the result of years of spendthrift policies by both parties. The deficit is due to fall to around 7 percent of GDP this year.
"Outside Greece, the trust toward Greek political elites isn't very high," Emmanouilidis said.
Samaras would have to restore confidence in a country whose benchmark stock index has lost more than two thirds of its value since October 2009 and whose 10-year bond yield rose above 35 percent in March. After the restructuring, the yield is now at 19.8 percent.
Also educated at Harvard University, Samaras wants to shrink government, lower company tax rates, expand the sale of state assets and target public spending on infrastructure. Europe's renewed emphasis on growth to complement fiscal austerity will make Samaras's job easier, EU parliamentarian Brok said.
"It will allow him to show Greeks the light at the end of the tunnel, which is very important," said Brok. "Structural changes and growth are the new priorities."
