Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J. : 'Hope in Things Unseen'
Jesus Christ is not only the personal hope for each one of us. He is also the hope of the world. If the world turns away from Him, it goes terribly astray.
'Hope in Things Unseen'
"It was suggested to me that I should use this occasion to say a few words about hope, since this virtue seems in short supply in these dark days."
"Our hopes tend to fade whenever we cease to be in control. For the moment we Americans seem to have lost control of our destiny. We are afraid because our future does not rest in our own hands. On September 11 two great symbols of our security collapsed, or at least suffered grave damage. The World Trade Center towers looked very solid, as did the walls of the Pentagon, but both proved to be paper thin. The growing likelihood of biological warfare raises our anxiety yet further. Not only our wealth and military power, but also our health is at risk."
"It will be for others to address the economic, military, and medical problems. As a theologian, I have to recognize that Christian hope never rests on material things. As individuals we try to follow the teaching of Jesus, who reminds us that rust corrodes, moths consume, and thieves break in and steal. Jesus instructs us to build treasure in heaven, the one bank that can never fail. The only thing that counts in the end is whether or not we hear the greeting of the Lord, �Well done, you good and faithful servant.�
"Jesus Christ is not only the personal hope for each one of us. He is also the hope of the world. If the world turns away from Him, it goes terribly astray. The pursuit of riches produces massive poverty; the pursuit of freedom begets slavery; and the pursuit of peace ends in destructive violence. But with the strength and generosity that comes from the Lord we can take part in building here on earth what the liturgy calls �a kingdom of truth and life, of holiness and grace, of justice, love, and peace.�
"As I reflect on the past half century and more, I am immensely grateful for my vocation to share in the apostolate of the Society of Jesus. As Jesuits, we are dedicated to the gospel of hope. We seek to place our own hope in God alone and to help others to focus their hopes on Him. This apostolate of hope is immensely relevant today, when many people are on the brink of discouragement and despair. But you, at least, are not. Seeing so many of you, I am reminded that we Jesuits could achieve nothing without friends such as yourselves, who support our work and do it with us. You are as important to our work as any Jesuit is. Whatever the future holds, we can only be assured of this: that nothing we do together in the service of the Lord will be done in vain."

UPDATE: Monday, July 9, 2012
Fire investigators say a faulty power strip sparked a massive fire that destroyed a business and apartment in Delano.
Crews were called to the scene at Bullwinkle Tattoo, 929 W. Douglas, around 2 p.m. Friday. They arrived to find heavy smoke showing from the building, and called in a second unit to assist in the blaze.
Several witnesses reported hearing an explosion shortly before the fire broke out, but officials said it was likely a smoke explosion. The blast is caused by a build up in a certain area, similar a dust explosion at grain elevators.
Employees inside Bullwinkle Tattoo managed to escape safely. No one else was hurt.
The fire caused about $90,000 in damage.
Friday, July 6, 2012
Investigators are still looking for what set off an apartment fire in the Delano District Friday afternoon. Witnesses say they heard something explode moments before they saw smoke and flames.
The fire started on the second floor of the Bullwinkle's Tattoo building. The store owner, Dan McClure tells us the sound sent him running upstairs where he lives.
"I went upstairs and the hallway was filled with smoke and I came back down and smoke coming out of window that's when the fire department was called," McClure said.
Once he made sure everyone was out the store safely, McClure said there was nothing else he could do but watch the fire and smoke tear through his home and business.
"Helpless, helpless but I mean what can you do? Just stand and watch it," McClure said.
McClure tells us he first opened his tattoo shop 13 years ago.
"I just have always been an artist found this location after I moved to Wichita done a lot of work here, it's really sad. I hope we can re-open it pretty soon, I hope so," McClure said.
While his store might be open again soon, he says he's afraid he won't be able to save anything from his apartment.
Fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
July 6, 2012

A witness said he heard an explosion, then saw smoke and flames coming from Bullwinkles Tattoo.

Holiday Shopping, Hopkins Style
The Gift Shop. From clothing, mugs and handsome cotton throws that bear the Hopkins logo, to tea sets and ornaments that invoke the holiday spirit, the Women's Board Gift Shop's two locations (Wolfe Street lobby and JHOC lower concourse) are rife with gifts for home and wardrobe.
Men will look sharp in one of the shop's bounty of patterned silk ties—from trendy polka dots ($15) to the staid stripes-and-Hopkins-dome pattern ($25). Or, deck those halls with a festive red and white china plate ($20) or a pair of candlesticks masquerading as snowmen ($14).
The popular, handcrafted marble replicas of the famed Christ statue—less than 3 feet tall, complete with the inscription-bearing base—are still available. Each statue is hand-cast to order; Christmas delivery is not guaranteed ($240; call 410-955-2539 to order). The shop also carries cast metal tree ornaments molded with the Christ statue's likeness and a "Merry Christmas" greeting for $9.
Remember to check out the shop's annual 20-percent-off holiday sale on nearly everything, with sale prices lasting until Dec. 23.
Matthews Johns Hopkins Medical Book Center. Is there a doctor, nurse or other medical maven in your life? Eyeballs, kidneys, brains and more—all in the form of anatomical models and designed for the doctor's desk—can be found at Matthews. So too can the Osler Medical Handbook ($44), the must-have pocket manual for physicians and residents, covering the latest clinical guidelines for most diseases and disorders.
For the alum, the ol' alma mater will live on with one of Martin Barry's popular watercolor prints, both framed and unframed, depicting the East Baltimore campus. If your long-ago student is really missing Charm City, hit the trifecta—prints of Hopkins Hospital, the Inner Harbor and Gilman Hall, all matted and framed together ($50).
Laymen and professionals alike will relish a book penned by such Hopkins luminaries as Ben Carson and Patrick Walsh, or the coffee-table hardcover Medicine and Art ($67), a reflection on the physician's changing role in society, told through more than 50 pieces of art from ancient Greece to modern times.
And for the kids: jade green scrubs ($30), just like the ones the big guys wear, but in sizes fit for children up to age 5. Pint-size practitioners will tear through the pages of My Doctor's Bag ($8) and Baby's Book of the Body ($10), or play for hours with My First Skeleton ($20), a 16-inch plastic model and learning tool.
The Women's Board Coffee Bars. Stop by the newest location, JavaJava, in the Wolfe Street lobby and pick up the coffee-lover's favorite: a travel mug ($6) that keeps on giving with refills for only 89 cents. During the month of December, holiday shoppers can also purchase electronic gift cards, good at any of the Women's Board coffee bar locations.
Hopkins Publications. Centuries of Caring: The Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Story ($30) authored by Neil Grauer, of the Office of Corporate Communications, rolled off the presses just in time for July's 20th anniversary celebration of the Hopkins-Bayview affiliation. The 150-page volume chronicles Bayview's history and most important medical achievements.
Cooley Center. Let a friend swing or salsa into the New Year with lessons in ballroom dancing (four classes, $40). Those looking to pack more of a punch might consider eight sessions of Tai-Wing Chun self defense ($49, members; $69 non-members), or a workout with a personal trainer ($45).
Seated Massage. Make your co-workers glow with appreciation—give them a gift certificate for a 15-minute seated massage, now available from Occupational Health ($10). Your colleagues will love the convenience of cashing it in at Phipps 351. (410-502-1851, JHU staff only.)
Catering Services. Throwing a holiday party and can't fathom making all the food yourself? There's a top-notch catering service right under your nose—the very organization that whips up hundreds of hot meals for patients, visitors and staff every day. During the holidays, Catering Services offers up a variety of gourmet packages for parties, vendors and more, says director Leo Dorsey. From cool bruschetta and tarragon chicken salad to piping-hot crab dip and bacon-wrapped scallops, followed by a tempting array of chocolate rum balls and other festive treats, the spread will be remembered long after the last drop of eggnog. Top it off with a fully decorated gingerbread house ($45) or Yule log ($50). (To book: 410-955-6589 or email@example.com.)
Now, sit back, wrap your hands around a mug of warm apple cider, and enjoy the holiday season—shopping crisis averted.

Great 2 tank dive at Anthony's Key Resort. Great service, even if it was a little rushed. Price was in line with all of the other independent bookings I looked in to, and I knew AKR would do a good job so I just went with them. The other members of our group went off to Mahogany Beach and weren't terribly impressed.

Invesco, First State and Fidelity top the charts in FE Crown Fund Ratings
Related fund data links
The FE Crown Fund Ratings' bi-annual rebalancing has seen nine funds awarded the top score of five FE Crowns in their first ever rating.
Aberdeen Emerging Markets Bond and BlackRock Continental European Income were among those ranked within the top 10 per cent of their respective asset classes. Funds must have a three-year track record to be eligible for a rating.
Oliver Clarke-Williams, research analyst at FE, says: "Aberdeen Emerging Markets Bond can attribute its five FE Crown Fund Rating to a high alpha score and consistently strong performance; the fund was first quartile in 2012, 2013 and year to date. BlackRock Continental European Income scored well on both the alpha and volatility components; it delivered top quartile returns whilst taking on less volatility than its peers."
Invesco Perpetual Fund Managers remains the house with the most high quality funds; 12 of its funds scored five FE Crowns. First State Investments manages 11 funds with a five FE Crown Fund Rating, while Fidelity has 10 top scoring funds.
Clarke-Williams says: "First State in particular stands out as more than two thirds (69 per cent) of its funds achieved five FE Crowns. This suggests that First State as a group is adding significant value, be that through its network of regional offices, experienced analyst and support teams, and a general culture that is conducive to investing."
FE uses its Crown Fund Ratings to judge funds according to alpha generation, volatility and the consistency with which they have beaten their benchmarks over the three years to 30 June 2014. The top 10 per cent of funds are awarded five FE Crowns with the following 15 per cent receiving four FE Crowns.
PFS Downing Active Management, a smaller companies fund, leapt from two FE Crowns to five. It has been the top performer in its sector over the last six months, continuing to grow even though small-caps as a whole have undergone a correction.

James Corden has been nominated for a prestigious Tony Award for the Broadway production of his hit show One Man, Two Guvnors.
The actor has won much acclaim for the initial run of the show in London's West End.
Since taking the show stateside James has received yet more plaudits for his excellent performance.
Now he has been nominated for a Tony Award he faces eminent names for the title of best leading actor in a play, including Philip Seymour Hoffman and James Earl Jones.
James, 33, who opened on Broadway in April, said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be nominated for a Tony Award and to see my name on a list with these four American acting legends is overwhelming."
The nomination is particularly special to the Gavin and Stacey writer as the awards tend to recognise American talent, and it's rare for a non US star to receive such recognition.

Morning Brew: Tuesday, May 11
Morning friends! Thanks for coming back.
Amanda Seyfried was on Chelsea Lately this week and talked very pleasantly about her lesbian scenes and making out with Julianne Moore.
I always get so scared when Amanda talks about her girl-on-girl scenes. They are usually accompanied by an eyeroll. Chelsea Handler is the one that can make her say, straight up, she likes doing lesbian scenes.
In a Telegraph interview with bisexual poet laurete Carol Ann Duffy, she says she was outed when her father caught her reading The Well of Loneliness. Duffy said:
I think I was 12. I remember finding it very boring. Well, it is boring. There was a fuss and my father took it back to the library.
Something tells me your father must have read the book, Carol Ann. He himself was very familiar with the context to get so angry!
In a shocking turn of events, The Advocate has decided to put another lesbian on its cover this year. Cynthia Nixon looks stunning in this month's issue, where she talks about Sex and the City 2, gay rights activism and her partner, Christine Marinoni. An excerpt:
She's like a short man with boobs. A lot of what I love about her is her butchness. I'm not saying I fell in love with her in a sexually neutral way. I love her sexuality — it's a big part of what I love about her — but I feel like it was her.
God I love Cynthia. I'm totally a Miranda.
Jackie Warner's This is Why You're Fat has made it onto the New York Times' Best Seller List at number three. Right above her? Jillian Michaels' The Master Your Metabolism Cookbook. That's right America — get your advice from gay women!
An AfterEllen.com reader has a podcast I think you'll really dig. It's called Femslash4Fans and is focused on fan fiction about lesbian characters. This week, she'll be talking to Angela Robinson and Alexandra Kondrake about Girltrash! All Night Long, live on air.
We've got an exclusive still of Annette Bening playing a lesbian mom in The Kids Are All Right, which opens in theaters July 7. It appears she enjoys life and wine.
And another of how adorable she and Julianne are as a couple.
Have a great day!

The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexityRichard Dawkins
Since evolution became fashionable, the glorification of Man has taken a new form.Bertrand Russell
The expression often used by Mr. Herbert Spencer of the Survival of the Fittest is more accurate, and is sometimes equally convenient.Charles R. Darwin
In order to evolve, you must stand still long enough for your Heart to have a Conversation with your Brain.Erin Dalli
If we are going to teach creation science as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction.Judith Hayes
Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not on reasoning but on doctrinaire adherence to religious principlesJames D. Watson
Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution.Anthony J. D'Angelo
Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense.Stephen Jay Gould
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.Albert Einstein
Change is at the very core of evolution and without it, all creatures would look alike and behave the same way.Martin Dansky
Evolutionists will continue to find missing links until all will be amiss for we will still ask how we got here.Martin Dansky
Civilization is a progress from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity toward a definite, coherent heterogeneity.Herbert Spencer
We are the product of 4.5 billion years of fortuitous, slow biological evolution. There is no reason to think that the evolutionary process has stopped. Man is a transitional animal. He is not the climax of creation.Dr. Carl Sagan
God created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed -- that is the meaning of evolution.Graham Greene
It is natural human impulse to think of evolution as a long chain of improvements, of a never-ending advance towards largeness and complexity in a word, towards us. We flatter ourselves. Most of the real diversity in evolution has been small-scale. We large things are just flukes an interesting side branch.William Cullen Bryant
My view is that evolution will continue to evolve!Tony Buzan
Evolution tells us where we came from, not where we can go.Jerry Coyne
Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of speciesKonrad Lorenz

More than 800 wine industry leaders, researchers and other academic representatives from around the world gathered in Napa in June at the ASEV's 60th annual meeting, putting research and science center stage among world famous wineries and vineyards.
"To mark our 60th Annual Meeting, we've made significant enhancements, not the least of which is hosting it in a world-class wine country where the research the Society fosters is being put into practice everyday," said ASEV Executive Director Lyndie Boulton.
The Annual Meeting in Napa provided many firsts for ASEV, including successfully hosting a large event in the middle of a wine region. The 60th Annual Meeting provided 800 attendees with an exceptional and well-balanced program, offering a blend of the latest research reports, innovations and practical applications to its members.

We are pleased to host our 2009 Honorary Research Lecturer Professor Dr. Andrew Walker of the Department of Viticulture and Enology, University of California, Davis.
Are you interested in finding out more on how to grow wine in higher elevations or high latitudes? The Unified Symposium is offering a Friday seminar, High Elevation/High Latitude, emphasizing climate changes, challenges, production and sustainability of winegrowing in higher elevations and latitudes. Glenn McGourty of the University of California Cooperative Extension, Mendocino/Lake Counties and Peter Molnar of Obsidian Ridge Vineyards and president of the Lake County Winegrape Commission will moderate this seminar. Click here to register for this seminar.
The ASEV Annual Meeting will be referred to as the ASEV National Conference from 2010 onward. Based on direction from members, presenters, academia and industry, the Board endorsed the meeting name change to more accurately represent the nature and scope of this well-established conference. This change was part of a comprehensive analysis of the entire program matrix.
The 61st Annual ASEV National Conference is set for June 20-25 at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington.
All current Professional Members (per the bylaws) will be asked to vote on the Board's proposed bylaws revisions. If you are a voting member, we encourage you to support the Board's recommendations in order to better serve you. The proposed changes will increase efficiency, transparency and will ensure that our bylaws are legally current.
ASEV's Board and staff have invested months evaluating the Society's bylaws. The results are proposed bylaw revisions that will be sent to voting members for their review and ratification.
As the organizational governing document, bylaws are instrumental in enabling the efficiency and practicality of successful operations. They also mandate aspects of transparency. Our last bylaws revision was approved by the members in 2001.
Dr. Christian Butzke of Purdue University succeeded Opus One's Michael Silacci as the ASEV board president on July 1.
"Michael Silacci, in his focused, sophisticated manner, has led an exceptional group of people who implemented a number of innovative program concepts and ideas," said Butzke. "It has been an honor to work with him and to follow in his footsteps and expand on what he has started during his term."

Help! I'm having a party for 40!
- l
- lattelover Feb 6, 2014 03:30 PM
I 'have never had a party this big, and I am daunted by the quantities of food needed. I plan to feature a spiralcut ham, with biscuits and condiments (mayo, different mustards, pickle assortment), broccoli salad (from Sweet Tomatoes), and cake. I am OK getting the quantities of these and the drinks. What else do I need? I am thinking of an entree for those who do not eat/like ham, maybe a chicken and pasta salad? If I do that, can I decrease the amt of ham? Do I need a green salad? I will be passing some hors d'ouevres such as gougeres and stuffed mushrooms. The party runs from 4 pm Sunday afternoon. Any advice is most welcome.
The people who eat the ham will also eat the chicken and pasta salad. Just so you know.
I don't know the broccoli salad from sweet tomatoes, but that sounds good.
I'd do a fruit and cheese platter or three with crackers and breads. Serve nuts and olives.
Maybe a vegetarian pasta salad as a side dish - that will cover vegetarians, and be good for non-vegetarians as well.
No, don't reduce the amount of ham; the more choices you have, the more people will want to try everything if they eat what you're offering. Is it your intent that everything (other than the mushrooms) be cold?
I do think you need other dishes because you are having the party pretty much during what will be considered dinner time so people will be hungry. I would offer a different meat in addition to ham like a lemon chicken salad (sticking with the cold dish theme) and some side dishes.
Pasta salad is a good idea but I would make it with vegetables such as frozen & thawed peas, shredded carrot, red onions, seeded & diced cucumbers, zucchini & yellow squash, scallions, halved cherry tomatoes, etc tossed with a vinaigrette. You can also do a layered chopped salad with these same veggies and lettuce of choice.
I would do potato salad and or sweet potato salad which goes well with ham & biscuits. It's soup weather so adding a chowder or bean soup would be nice and it's easy.
re: Cherylptw
unless the party is sit down, i would not serve soup.
standing trying to eat a bowl of soup is difficult, especially if you are also juggling a plate of other foods.
not an answer to your question, but iirc, the sweet tomatoes broccoli salad also contains pork.
how about some vegetarian beans (either chili or baked beans) so that if a vegetarian, shows up there will be something for them to eat?
re: westsidegal
Thank you. I looked up the recipe and see that the broccoli salad does indeed contain bacon.
I will be serving a cheese and fruit platter. Forgot to mention it.
I like the idea of doing a vegetarian pasta salad. But should I do that AND potato salad, or one or the other?
I do want everything to be room temperature, so no soup or other hot dish, except for the gougeres and mushrooms -I'lll have enough to do!
re: lattelover
you can leave out the bacon in broccoli salad. (this is the raw salad with a sweet-sour mayo based dressing? and raisins and nuts?)
re: alkapal
I would nix the meat in the broccoli salad- feel like pork overload
re: lattelover
Not that I think soup is an especially good idea but soup can be made ahead and kept warm or even heated in a crock pot. Very hands off for the day of. Minimum work. Carrot or squash seem to fit best with your menu.
re: lattelover
Yes, I would serve both potato salad and veggie pasta salad because it will give your guests some choices and from your post, you only have a broccoli salad decided on as a side and it has bacon. With 40 people to feed, I doubt it will go to waste.
re: lattelover
Here's a broccoli salad that is vegetarian and delicious - had it first when a friend made it for a cookout. While it does add another starch - it is very light.
Wild Rice, Broccoli & Cranberry Salad
1 (6-ounce) pkg long grain & wild rice mix
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (I used Ocean Spray Craisins-1 pkg)
1 cup fresh broccoli flowerets, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
3 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 (2-ounce) jar diced pimento, drained
1/2 cup sweet and sour dressing (1/2 cup orange juice & 2 tablespoons white vinegar)
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
• Prepare rice according to package directions; cool.
• Combine rice, cranberries, and next 4 ingredients; add dressing, and stir gently. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Stir in peanuts just before serving.
I've doubled it for a covered dish meal at work - worked fine.
re: Jeanne
no oil or mayo?
hmmmm…. sounds good
re: Jeanne
I, as well as many other people, try to stay gluten free. The broccoli salad recipe was sounding perfect until the dressing. White vinegar is not good for gluten free. A simple substitution of cider vinegar for the white and the recipe would still be yummy and now safe to eat.
re: lattelover
Vichyssoise (potato leek soup) can be served at room temperature, if your only objection to soup is that it would need to be kept warm . And it is drinkable from a mug.
how about a stromboli (calzone) with chicken and brocolli or a vegetarian version. they are fine at room temp, hearty, filling and fairly easy to eat.
I like the idea of serving a lasagna/baked ziti with the ham. I've seen this many times and it's something for vegetarians which can be made ahead. It's also a "main" for them, so they're not relegated to making a meal out of a side dish.
There are many choices of salads without meat; pasta, potato, slaws.
You mentioned "a cake", so I'm assuming this is the only dessert? If so, I'd offer another option for dessert. For example, if one dessert is chocolate, I'll offer one that's more tart etc.
re: monavano
a vegetarian lasagne would be great. nice for this cold weather! and make-ahead!!!!
green salad - yes
keep the same amount of ham
wow -- stuffed mushrooms and gougeres -- both are fussy prep and have to be served hot (imho).
i like the idea of endive spears with blue cheese and chopped toasted walnuts or pecans sprinkled on. those could be on the table (buffet , right?)
a crudités platter would be nice, so people can tweak their food, and lighter eaters can pick.
after reading other comments, i like the idea of potato salad
and a layered salad is very pretty (the one you can make the day before and it rests, covered overnight in fridge)
i also think you need a vegetarian pasta dish. i like a tortellini salad with fresh peppers and peas with a greek-style vinaigrette (or plain vinaigrette).
what about sweets? any dessert?
re: alkapal
thanks. I'm making the gougeres and mushrooms because they are sort of my signature dishes and everybody expects them. I make the gougeres beforehand and freeze, just reheat before serving. I also make the mushroom in advance and heat before serving. That's why I want everything else to be simple and room temp.
So, I have decided on ham, broccoli salad, pasta salad, cheese and fruit, chocolate torte and berry crumble. Then I am wavering on adding green salad or cole slaw or potato salad or combination of these. Does this sound like enough? Do I need another protein? My husband offered to make spanish tortillas (egg with potatoes and onion), but I think that would be too much work given the quantity he would have to make. (I may add some small munchies such as nuts and/or olives.)
re: lattelover
If Spanish tortillas are cut into 2 in squares instead of the wedge I think two large would be sufficient.
re: lattelover
i'd prefer a green salad over cole slaw since your broccoli salad has a similar dressing to the cole slaw. http://www.thespoonfulblog.com/2010/0...
i always love potato salad.
the spanish tortilla would be a nice additional protein. perfectly fine at room temp.
re: lattelover
This final menu sounds great but quite rich so I would add the green salad. Some may want it to keep their plate a bit lighter...although I have to say if I were there I'd be likely to only get a bite or two of salad and load up on the rest! I'd make it a simple one too as you already have plenty of work - spinach with cherry tomatoes, orange segments or strawberries, maybe pecans and a vinaigrette. Nothing too labour intensive.
re: lattelover
I agree with a green salad vs a potato or coleslaw. Maybe use some spicy arugala or other interesting greens with a mustard-y vinegrette.
Spanish tortilla would be a great vegetarian protein choice. If that is too labor intensive a baked frittata with spinach and onion (or whatever veggies) is another option, just cut into squares for serving.
Also, for the pasta salad i would avoid a mayo based dressing since the broccoli salad has one.
re: Ttrockwood
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of your kind and thoughtful suggestions. Lots to think about. I am going to ruminate a little as I see exactly who is comng and will finalize the menu depending on their particular preferences. If anyone has any additional thought, please let me know. Again, thanks so much, everyone.
re: lattelover
I love the orzo salad from epicurious. It is a real crowd pleaser.http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
I make spanish tortillas a lot and they are pretty labour intensive and messy. I saw this easy version and would be interested to try it.
I also make gougeres a lot and I freeze them raw and then cook just before serving and they are terrific. I usually have 2 or 3 kinds in the freezer at all times. They can also be used as rolls for the ham a la Judy Rogers.
re: Gloriaa
I was going to suggest the same orzo salad. Or, I also love this one: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
I do think you might need another protein, especially if you think you might have pork averse guests. Maybe a couple of roasted/sliced turkey breast to go with the same rolls/toppings as the ham?
Or, here's a shrimp salad I've made for lots of parties. Use small shrimp and even cut them in half length-wise. You can make a little shrimp go a long ways and you can vary the other ingredients, depending on what you like:
2 Cups Mayonnaise
½ C. well-drained horseradish
½ tsp. msg
2 tsp. dry mustard
2. tsp. lemon juice
½ tsp. salt
1 lb. cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 basket grape tomatoes
6 oz. whole, pitted olives (cut in half if large
)1 can sliced water chestnuts
8 oz mushrooms (small or cut in half/quarters if large)
½ head cauliflower, broken into flowerets or a mix of cauliflower and broccoli or equal amount of snow/sugar snap peas cut in half
Drain all ingredients, mix with dressing and refrigerate 1-2 hrs. (or more) before serving
re: lattelover
Unless you have a commercial-size kitchen, keep in mind the size of your refrigerator and the size of your oven and do what's realistic. For a crowd that size, serve what you can prepare in advance. And factor in this: if you are serving any sort of alcoholic drinks, part of your kitchen has to be set aside as "bar" and that will take up space as drinks have to be mixed, even in pitchers, or wine has to be opened. Remember too that several guests will show up with flowers and you will be trying to get them in water in the kitchen while attending to culinary mayhem in the kitchen.
Too many times I have let myself get carried away and have done what is too ambitious---the hard way I have learned the advice to KISS---Keep it simple, Stupid (I mean me, not you!). But don't be like the person who once posted on chowhound that she had invited 30 people to brunch and was going to serve waffles and had only waffle iron. KISS is a good rule to remember.
lattelover, for what it's worth, I don't think you have enough food. You want to wow people a little.
re: Querencia
Q -- you got it goin' on!
great advice, all round!
I'll second the lasagna suggestion as a nice 2nd main to complement the ham. The fact that it can be prepped ahead of time is a big bonus.
A *large* pan of Mac&Cheese would also work. It too can be prepped ahead of time. It might be a little tricky to gauge the sauciness and adjust with extra milk just before putting it in the oven when starting with chilled, made ahead sauce and pasta - but if you have a recipe you're comfortable with it should work.
re: BernalKC
Lasagna? Wow, that's a lot of work when you're already stressed-out. Delicious, though.
re: amoule
re: amoule
If you don't boil the noodles it's not that much work. Many ingredients can be ready to use like ricotta, pasta sauce, shredded cheese....
It may take a short while to layer it all in and bake but it will feed a lot if portioned out well
And you don't have to buy no boil noodles. Regular ones work fine too if you add a little more liquid in the bottom and sauce well. Can't think of the last time I boiled noodles for lasagna
I think a baked meat free pasta dish would be fine for the vegetarians, and would also be appreciated by the meat eaters too.
The chicken I would cook separately. Since it takes roughly the same time to cook as the ham, you could easily throw some baked chicken parts in the oven along with it.
I think a green salad would be a nice "light" complement to the other items you are offering, which sound rather rich. If not salad, perhaps a simple steamed vegetable medley - orange and yellow carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans & wax beans, etc... lightly tossed in some butter or olive oil and fresh herbs.
Scalloped potatoes are also really easy to throw together - all you need is some heavy cream, thinly sliced potatoes, salt, pepper, and perhaps a little garlic powder & paprika.
Or serve soup as shooters; no need to rent in this case, the OP can buy disposable shooter glasses like these and serve the soup from an insulated carafe:
re: Cherylptw
I love soup, but we are in Florida and it may be 85 degrees, so soup will not be on the menu. Otherwise, it is a great idea. I dont want to do anything other than room temperature or cold, so some of your other great suggestions just wont work here.
Right now I am thinking:
Ham with condiments, spanish omelet, broccoli salad, green salad ( with strawberries, nuts, and maybe a little feta), cheese and fruit platter, banana pudding (Alton Brown's, with banana liqueur), Lindt chocolate truffles. I cant decide if I need the pasta dish. If so, I will do chicken or tuna tarragon, or maybe the orzo salad or shrimp salad mentionned above. I was thinking of making baking powder biscuits to go with the ham, but now I am thinking of making cornbread......
I am so happy to be able to bounce these ideas off fellow chiwhounds. zi makes me feel more confident.
re: lattelover
I would do as much ahead as you can. Buy things that won't go off early.
Pull your serving ware, wash it and label it if need be so any helpers can match up food with the platter or bowl you want used.
Consider if you have any vegetarians and might need a non-meat option.
Also, for that many people I mix catered or store-bought with homemade items. For example: Pillsbury biscuits are good and can be bought at Sams or Costco in bulk. Much easier than baking last minute and a good substitute.
I am also planning a big party and am thinking of catering some brisket from a great BBQ place. I won't have many places for people to sit so I need to keep my food choices easy to eat. (Not a lot of cutting required, for example.)
I will make a tortellini salad and a wild rice and orzo salad days ahead and keep them in gallon size ziplocks. I can turn them everyday and just dump them in a serving dish on the day of, adding any last minute garnishes which also have been prepped ahead.
Enlist help if you need it. Maybe someone to wash dishes, refresh the buffet and take out the trash and recycling. A responsible teenager that wants to make a few dollars perhaps? Good luck!
re: lattelover
How about gazpacho, served in cucumber "cannons?" Buy the English cucumbers, cut them to your desired length, then use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh. Fill the cukes with gazpacho or any other cold soup. The tall cukes can look very elegant on the right serving tray.
Altenratively, if you can find a cheap source of tall shooter glasses, you can use them for the soup and cold beverages when the occasion warrants. Smoothies in a variety of flavors/colors look great.
re: lattelover
Keep biscuits even if you have to buy...
re: lattelover
I'm late to this thread and know your menu is pretty set, but i have to suggest egg salad with a little mayo, red wine vinegar, plenty of dill, celery, a bit of sweet pickle relish and a wee dash of minced red onion. It would be so good with ham (on or off of a biscuit), delish on top of green salad or alongside the broccoli.
Allrighty, gotta go boil some eggs now.
Here is a good chicken and pasta salad with a teriyaki flavor: Cook some boneless skinless breasts and shred the meat while it is still warm then put a lot of soy sauce and garlic powder on it and mix it with cooked pasta that has a lot of surface, like spiral-shaped, to absorb the flavor of the soy sauce and garlic powder. Do this while the drained pasta is still warm so it will take up the flavor and also add cut-up pineapple, fresh or frozen if you can get it, otherwise canned, and a little red chili pepper, and some cashew nuts. Refrigerate 24 hours before serving.
If you are looking for a way to add more ballast to your buffet table, meatballs are easy to do for a crowd. Use the bought frozen ones and put your effort into the sauce, which can be curry or sweet-and-sour or Mexican or just about anything. Use a large crock-pot (and for 40 I would borrow another crock-pot and have it ready in the kitchen to come out when needed).
Also suitable and filling and easy to do in large quantity (and ahead of time) are tabbouleh, kidney bean salad, and potato salad. Devilled eggs are always popular. Is this party coming soon? Strawberries are in the market now from Florida at great prices and look beautiful on a buffet. Melon isn't the best now but it gives a lot of melon chunks.
For a crowd that size I have put a whole ham at one end of the (extended dining room) table and a large roast turkey at the other end and let people make little sandwiches, then in between the length of the table all the other stuff.
You mentioned cake. Does that mean you are serving coffee as well as drinks or wine or whatever? If so, set up your sweets (cakes, cookies) on a separate table, maybe your sideboard or buffet, or use a couple of card tables put together with one cloth over them, and have the coffee there too. For a crowd that size you will need a big coffee urn. If you don't have one, borrow or rent one (they show up at yard sales but you probably don't have time to go that route---one of these is essential for serving a large crowd).
Move furniture around to make it easier for a large number of people to move around the tables where the food is set out. You may have to move the dining room chairs and other pieces out of the room.
Absolutely do not decrease the amount of ham. Leftover ham is a blessing. If you don't have enough food you will be very embarrassed. If you have too much food you can eat it all the rest of the week. Easy choice.
re: Berheenia
Could anyone tell me how much green salad and pasta salad I should make? When I google it, a lot of different numbers come up.
re: lattelover
Did your search find this quantity cooking site? Amount listed is for 100 guests, so cut in half I think, resulting in pasta salad made with 3 - 4 pounds dry pasta and tossed salad from 5-6 pounds of bagged greens or 10 12-oz. heads of lettuce.
re: MidwesternerTT
Thanks. I did not see that site. Very helpful.
re: MidwesternerTT
one needs to consider also how many *other* things are on the menu. maybe it is just me, but 3-4 pounds of macaroni seem like a bit too much, considering the whole menu.
on the other hand, you don't want to run out.
just thinking out loud here.
sorry for sowing doubt.
re: alkapal
The site I linked to assumes the salads are part of a multiple-choices generous buffet meal, addresses that "seems like too much" perception, talks about portion-sizes and also links to supporting statistics.
After all the work and fun of hosting a party, I find it nice to have some leftovers to enjoy as mix/match meals during the following week.
re: MidwesternerTT
i had in fact looked at the page before i posted.
and now, re-reading it, here is the only thing that addresses what i was talking about : "For side dishes you can figure a total of 1 gallon per 10 people. "
re: alkapal
Top of grid has the info and link , alkapal "These amounts are calculated to serve 100 on a buffet - they already include appropriate extra to allow for seconds.
FAQ: Why do your amounts differ from other tables on the web? In the USA portion sizes have nearly doubled since 1980. These tables reflect CURRENT (2009) usage. Think not? Check out the portion distortion quizzes at the National Institutes of Health."
Here's the updated link for the quizes (two boxes on right of the page) http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/publi...
I'm with you in not quite buying in to the bigger portion sizes -- what gets dished out at a restaurant isn't necessarily what a person will eat in one sitting (we often split one restaurant meal) or serve to themselves if given the option.
re: lattelover
I personally would make a half a serving per person of mac and cheese. I find a one pound box of macaroni and cheese serves 10 people so I would make two boxes and use the milk cheese proportions on the box as a guide. You have a lot of other food going on so I wouldn't expect everyone to take much or possibly none.
One thing I would recommend is making broccoli slaw. Most grocery stores sell broccoli slaw in a bag. It's basically julienned broccoli stalks with the outer skin taken off. I like to make it with a balsamic vinaigrette, dried cranberries and pecans. It get better as it sits and you won't have to worry about it wilting.
re: Dcfoodblog
Yes, I am doing Joans Broccoli Madness recipe. The menu is bone-in ham, with buttermilk biscuits and different mustards, pickles etc., Spanish omelet, pasta salad, broccoli salad, green salad with strawberries, walnuts and feta, fruit and cheese platter with crackers, banana pudding and chocolate brownies. I will be passing gougeres and stuffed mushrooms before dinner.

a delicious feast

re: lattelover
Yum! I would love the whole menu!
re: 16crab
So the party was last Sunday. We had 36 who came, but four left before dinner, due to other commitments. So there were 32 eating.
The gougeres and stuffed mushroom were a big hit, as they always are. I made about 5 dozen gougeres and 40 stuffed mushrooms. I had about a dozen gougeres left (I popped them back in the freezer. They reheat very well.) I also had three mushroom left which I ate for breakfast next morning.
I had 6 lb. and an 8.5 lb. bone-in ham. I have about three or four lbs. left which I put in the freezer. I had taken the meat off the bone and cut the meat into small pieces, removing most of the fat. In retrospect, one large ham 9-10 lbs would have been enough. The pasta salad was hardly touched. The green salad ( 1 lb. spring mix mixed with walnuts, feta, and strawberries) was not eaten much either. I had to throw alot away. Of the 40 buttermilk biscuits, about 20 were left which I froze. The broccoli salad (party size from Sweet Tomatoes) was demolished. The fruit, cheese, banana pudding, and brownies were eaten, but there were leftovers, which we will eat later.
Everybody raved about the food. In retrospect, I would have done the same menu, but made less. All in all, a success! Thanks, everyone, for your input.
re: lattelover
Thanks so much for reporting back. And, congratulations on your successful party.


text: England ready to handle Mitchell Johnson in Fourth Ashes Test Visit Victor Chandler Save For Later by Bettingpro StaffPosted KP looking for England to step up their game in Melbourne (credit: Wikipedia) Share: 0 0 0 Get Cricket Alerts Kevin Pietersen and his team-mates determined to make life harder for the Australia bowlerMitchell Johnson is 2/1 favourite with Victor Chandler to follow up his nine-wicket haul at the WACA by being Australia's leading bowler in the fourth Ashes Test but Kevin Pietersen has warned England will be better prepared for the paceman in Melbourne.Pietersen was one of three batsmen who made just nine first-innings runs between them before Johnson's late inswing proved too much in England's 267-run defeat in Perth.But England's mercurial number four has learned much from that regrettable experience, and promises the tourists will be ready for whatever Johnson can deliver in the Boxing Day Test."He took us by surprise, for sure," Pietersen admitted. "He bowled well, really, really well, and had a good game of cricket – and we're going to have to prepare ourselves for that swinging ball. We knew he could swing it, but we didn't realise he would swing it that much."Johnson's nine wickets at the WACA were in stark contrast to his none for 170 – and 19-ball duck, for good measure – in the drawn first Test in Brisbane, after which he was dropped for the second in Adelaide."He did some really good work in the week off he had," added Pietersen. "But we will be a lot better prepared for it here in Melbourne, so we will play him a lot better."Australia captain Ricky Ponting noted England's perceived vulnerability on bouncy surfaces both before and after their defeat on a typically lively WACA surface. Pietersen anticipates the drop-in strip in Melbourne will be pacy too, but will be losing no sleep at that prospect."Of course they are going to do it," he said. "They've just had success in Perth on a bouncy wicket, but we've had success around the world on bouncy wickets."We lost that Test within half an hour, five for 20 – that's where we lost it. Full, swinging balls knocked over our top order. We didn't lose it to a bouncy wicket; we lost it to balls that swung that we didn't prepare ourselves properly for."We will be prepared fully for everything come Sunday morning, so I don't think the wicket will play any different part."Ryan Harris also snared nine England victims in the last encounter and is 5/2 to be the top Australia wicket taker at the MCG, with Ben Hilfenhaus 7/2, Peter Siddle 4/1 and Michael Beer 6/1.

At the time of year when most Americans are celebrating, take a few moments to consider those who may not be so very fortunate. More than 1.5 million children in this nation are now homeless. In Florida, there are 85,000 homeless students. A doctor who started a mobile clinic to help street children has written a book that gives insight into the problems these children face and the people who are dedicated to helping them.
In Ask Me Why I Hurt, Randy Christensen takes his pediatrician practice to the streets with a Winnebago RV refitted as a doctor's office to treat homeless children and adolescents. With optimism and humor, he tends to the most vulnerable, forgotten, abused, and neglected of these children of the streets. One patient, Dr. Randy describes, is an abused teen living in a storm drain. Her story of survival and triumph when she graduates from college will fill you with hope.
Dr. Christiansen says he wrote Ask Me Why I Hurt to tell these children's stories. He believes that anyone can make a difference. He also echoes a statement I have heard from those who help the less fortunate. You feel incredibly blessed when you help others.
