1/5 Photos of Cheddar Gorgeous! Cheese and Onion Bread and Butter Pudding
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
30 mins
30 mins
I have always prefered savoury food to sweet food, and this is a recipe I made up for a savoury version of one of my favourite sweet puddings, Bread and Butter Pudding. This savoury dish is easy to rustle up and makes a tasty supper, breakfast, brunch or lunch dish. Do try to use mature farmhouse Cheddar cheese, a little goes a long way as the flavour is so pronounced. This can be made the night before you need it, for breakfast or brunch, and then baked next morning - a great make ahead meal! NB: Do NOT use standard American style sandwich bread, it is too thin and will not crisp up!

Panasonic DMC-FZ48 review
Does the latest Lumix super-zoom bridge live up to expectation?
TechRadar's verdict
"The low performance at high ISO sensitivies is a shame, as everything else about the camera is well implemented. The build quality and lens are excellent, the control method is intuitive, and there is a vast range of features to keep even experienced photographers happy."
- Good build quality
- Intuitive controls
- Excellent lens with an impressive zoom range
- Fast to focus
- Image stabilisation and autofocus during video recording
- Noise at high sensitivities
- Artefacts around fine details at all sensitivities
- Subdued colours with default settings

Pretty vague question -- where are you staying? You'll have a car or not? Kind of food? Budget?
Did you do any searching?
My son who now lives in Cleveland, OH, misses poke... the raw fish/seafood salad. Maybe this?
li hing anything, starting with fresh pineapple, dried mango, and candies you already like, such as sour patch kids, gummy bears, apple rings, sour apples, rock candy (my fave) etc. li hing candies, li hing dried fruit, and li hing powder available at longs drugs/cvs. get the powder and put on fresh pineapple, shots of tequila, etc. it is an incomparable taste. if you dig it, you can try more hardcore 'crackseed' treats.
a loco moco is a good place to start as well. ingredients found anywhere: rice, hamburger patty, eggs, brown gravy (some places use a diff gravy like a creamy mushroom; i think a beefy brown is the best), onions if you like. try the one at liliha bakery. a lot of mainlanders get weirded out by the combo, but it seems like a burger with rice instead of bread to me. a lot of other mainlanders like it quite a bit. you decide.
As has been asked:
What do you want?
What is your budget?
Where are you staying?
Do you have an auto?
O`ahu is a food paradise (no pun intended), and we try to build in several days there, regardless of where else we might be visiting. I could recommend a dozen restaurants, but those might not be what you are looking for.
Of all the Island, and the sides of the Islands, O`ahu, and Honolulu/Waikiki has the greatest, and most diverse wealth of restaurants. However, those range from good, but low-end mom-n-pops, to some stellar high-end dining.
Help us, to help you.
I'll bump this thread.
Going in early January, need ideas.
To answer Bill's questions
What do you want? GREAT STUFF - HIGH OR LOW, ONLY "REQUIREMENT" - and this is quite flexible too WOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM LA
What is your budget? ANY
Where are you staying? KAHALA
Do you have an auto? YES
re: Ciao Bob
It's a really cool place with a domed cast iron grill in the middle of the table.
We had bulgogi, shortribs, and "vegetables" which turned out to be a huge bowl of leafy greens. So fresh it really looked like they were picked that day.
Grill the meat, wrap the meat in a leaf with some rice, slather on a sauce or two and you're in.
At one point for us 3, I counted 31 dishes on the table!
Be sure to order some Korean rice wine with ginseng bek se ju. Delicious. I never would have known about it if I didn't ask about the poster on the wall.
Very nice people too. Evidently it's a real "scene" on the patio at night.
Also, don't miss Char Hung Sut in Chinatown.
for their takeout only bbq buns and other tasty delights.
Be sure to pay homage to the picture of "grandmother" on the wall. She started the place 68 years ago.
Really historic slice of mid century Chinatown and tasty treats to eat.
On the flipside if you want an elegant cocktail go to Halekulani in Waikiki. The upstairs bar serves cocktails developed by Colin Field who is a big name in cocktails. $20 each and be sure to wear nice clothes. Each one comes with it's own unique small snack paired to the cocktail.
I know...$20 bucks! It's worth it.
Then go down a floor to the other bar and listen to some nice lounge jazz. Really sweet.
Went to Roy's. I'd skip it. Went to Hiroshi. I'd skip it.
Please tell us about your trip.
re: Ciao Bob
Aloha Ciao,
Well since LA is about the only place in the US that you can even find various Hawaii style plate lunch your main "requirement" may be a bit difficult. So what are the main differences?
First and foremost you will note the lack of hispanic foods, be it Mexican or any place else from Central or South America. Hawaii has a very strong Asian presence, whether they are new immigrants or are from families that have lived here for as much as 5 or 7 generations. Every person in Hawaii is an ethnic minority. If you lump all Asians into one group they become the largest minority group, followed by whites. Our African-American population is very small, much of it involved with the military presence here. All that is reflected in our food.
Something else that is reflected in our food is that, unlike much of the mainland, the peoples of Hawaii have a tendency to marry outside their immediate ethnic and even their own racial group. That is also reflected in our foods. Even at a "traditional" Okazuya (deli) you will find fried chicken, hot dogs, spam, and macaroni salad. Starting in the 1980's some Hawaii Chefs got the bright idea to elevate this fusion of cuisines to new levels. Roys, Alan Wong's, Chef Mavro, and one or two more became the flagships of this new Fusion Cuisine. It is now common to see fusion dishes in everything from La Mer, traditional French preparations with ingredients that would have horrified and baffled former generations of Le Cordon Bleu down to the new generation of food trucks (formerly lunch wagons) that might sell Grilled Musubi, Spicy Ahi, or Pork Ginger.
Start with the thread "what to eat where" link and go from there (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/9235...)
Of special note near you are Hoku's and the Plumeria Beach House in the Kahala. In nearby Kaimuki are 12th Avenue Grill, Town, 3660, JJ's, Cafe Miro, and Big City Diner to name a few. At the bottom of Kaimuki you can find L&L drive in (not my favorite) and Sekiya's which serves local style Japanese/Japanese inspired food (Saimin/Hamburger combo.) Kapahulu has both Haili's and Ono's for traditional Hawaiian food, along with Waiola Store for Shave Ice and the iconic Rainbow Drive Inn and Leonard's Bakery. on the Diamond Head side of Kapahulu are Pioneer Inn, Diamond Head Grill, and South Shore Grill. Going further afield to Waikiki you have LaMer, Roy's, Dukes, Tiki's and The House Without a Key, Michele's, and Hau Tree Lanai along with others. I'd also strongly consider Nico's for Fish, Sugoi's for Plate Lunch or Bento, and check if Eat The Street is going on while you are here. If you are on the North Shore give a look at Haleiwa Joe's and/or Jameson's, along with Kua Aina Burgers and Sandwiches, or the one Mexican restaurant you might consider - Luibuenos. I'm not familiar with whats at Kuilima these days, and others can give better information about the windward side.
re: KaimukiMan
Thanks JayDK and KaimukiMan!!! These are interesting thoughts and great sounding suggestions.
re: Ciao Bob
Thanks all.
Preliminar - based on info here and from some trusted friends - I have reserved dinner's at
Alan Wong's
Nanzan GiroGiro
MW Restaurant.
For lunch I have been told not to miss Pig & The Lady.
re: Ciao Bob
Do the second seating at Nanzan GiroGiro, it is a lot less rushed.
The Pig & The Lady are also at the Saturday AM KCC Farmers Market, which is a "don't miss," if you like farmers markets.
Get to the KCC Farmers Market early. It gets very crowded, especially with the tour buses stopping in. 7:30am was OK but 9am was quite crowded.
Highlights include:
- The Pig & The Lady, delicious Vietnamese and Thai dishes, with a weekly rotating menu, check their web site beforehand!!
- Breakfast plates like kimchee fried rice with Portuguese sausage and scrambled eggs from Grandma G's
- Freshly grilled ("BBQ") abalone from the Big Island (long lines here)
- Made in Hawaii Foods' passionfruit butter and fresh strawberry-red bean mochi from Made in Hawaii foods
- Fresh pineapple juice and coconut water
- Raw macadamia nuts
- Dr. Sun's famous Kahuku grown sea asparagus
- Fresh brewed Hawaii coffee
- North Shore Farms' famous pesto pizza
- PacifiKool syrups and sodas
- Ono Pops
And more.
re: kathryn
8:15 PM - is that second seating? I'm very flexible with time going later...usually not hungry till 8 or after.
re: Ciao Bob
Yes, it is the second seating.
Just keep in mind the time difference may mean you'll wake up much earlier than usual, and be hungrier earlier than usual.
Have a great time!
re: kathryn
If only i were young enough to have those things effect my biologic clock(s) -- these days I am always hungry and never able to sleep -- regardless of the timezone!
re: Ciao Bob
Will write more later but wanted to give a big shout out for Nanzan GiroGiro....it was excellent...the best 50 dollar keiseki experience I can imagine. And such a fun setting. It is like n/naka in LA at one third the price. Amazing.
Heading to the north shore to bum about today - any shrimp truck opinions? Mackys vs others?
re: Ciao Bob
Glad you enjoyed it. One of my favorite restaurants. You can check out this article for a recent comparison of the 3 main shrimp trucks out there. http://www.honolulumagazine.com/Honol...
re: Ciao Bob
Sounds good to me, I like that list.
re: Ciao Bob
Thank you for that info.
Here are my "go-to" restaurants on O`ahu, but with some recent observations, and amendments:
Alan Wong's King St.
Chef Mavro's
La Mer (Sept visit, with new chef, was a bit less than stellar, and that was unexpected - good, but far from great)
Michel's @ Colony Surf (had a less than great visit, years before, but our 2012 visit was excellent)
Orchids @ Halekulani - had both a lovely lunch, then dinner
With the exception of Michel's, all were visited in Sept. 2013.
Also did Morimoto, but were greatly underwhelmed. Though we greatly enjoyed his Philadelphia restaurant, some years back, this was NOT an enjoyable evening, at any level.
In the past - but not recently:
3660 on the Rise
Mariposa @ Ala Moana
Hau Tree Lanai - have received some very negative reports lately, so I would research this one - still, the venue is excellent
Travel safely, and aloha.
Aloha. .
House without a key is one of our faves and would love to have cocktails in the lounge but always in island wear..love the private club atmosphere.
Rumfire at Sheraton, Hula Grill or Dukes for Happy hour.
Roy's Waikiki is not to be skipped and GM Diva has so much Aloha..
This is not your typical mainland Roy's..
Azure at the Royal Hawaiian is lovely..plus, its one of the best old school places to stay.
Mai Tai bar at RH or Moana for drinks.
Mariposa at Neimans or Pineapple Room at Alan Wongs.

What are the lovely things in your kitchen
Last night as I was standing sleepless in my kitchen, waiting for water to boil for herbal tea, I noticed--again--the little pan heating water on my stove. It is a little stainless pan, over ten years old now, a small cylinder with a rolled stainless handle fat enough for comfort, and a nice lid. It is very plain, but very pleasing. It comes out of the dishwasher bright and clean. Its handle stays cool during short heating tasks. It is something I chose for function, a tool that pleased me to find. Nearby sat my favorite teapot. It is plump, short spouted and gray blue. Its handle is wide. The lid fits precisely into the lip of the pot. I chose this because I needed it, and because it pleased me. I don't know why seeing familiar, functional and attractive items in use gives me pleasure, but it does. Perhaps it is because I chose them because they are useful and aesthetically pleasing.
What things in your kitchen do you enjoy seeing in use, and that make you happy to know that you chose them well?
I chose my stuff fairly recently, but I'm really pleased with it all:
My cutlery is perfect. Kind of minimal, but comfortable, practical and perfectly weighted.
My awesome roasting tray - alrady used about 10 times since xmas
My LC dutch oven. My god I love this thing. I get a thrill every time I get to use it
My precious chefs knife. Again a pleasure to use. Sometimes I will buy a carrot or a potato just to practice with it.
My two porsche knives (the top two, paring and santoku) - not as good as the Global, but I got a bargain (£20 something for both) and thy're really comfortable to use.
This is nearly the set of anolon pans I have. I got a stir-fry instead of the little milk pan, and I really would like the small pan, though my GF likes the stir fry.
The biggest pan is rarely used, and I have a stock-pot for really huge things like stews anyway. But if I had to cook 2 veg and a roux at the same time it's there. But yes, a pleasure to use and to clean after! the little pan is the egg pan because I also have:
My LC frying pan! This probably gets the most use outside of the small saucepan. It's amazing for steaks, although it's not as non-stick as it was. Really heavy too.
Among other things I like are my spatula, my wooden spoon, my new chopping board, my silicon spatulas... and my plain white dinner ware. And my bread knife.
So many ...
I love my vintage red metal canisters with yellow (originally ivory I believe) Bakelite handles. My stainless tea kettle whose handle is never hot ... my beautiful Lagostina sauce pan. And of course my Dune and Flame Le Creuset dutch ovens ...
The most gorgeous thing in my kitchen is my La Chamba 3-quart sauce/saute pan. It was a gift from best friend and lives on my stove top. La Chamba is made from black clay found near the Magdalena River in Columbia. Mine us used almost daily and still as beautiful as the day it came from the potter's wheel. Since it's hand made, it is slightly oval instead a perfectly round, which only adds to its beauty.
re: amazinc
... in Colombia ...
re: Sam Fujisaka
In Colombia, someONE lovely in your kitchen is Dana Zsofia. ;)
In the Land of Steady Habits, lovely and whimsical things in my kitchen include:
- a puffing dragon teakettle
- a little blue and purple pottery garlic keeper with a cork top
- a giant blue bowl usually used for serving pasta or when I made vichyssoise for the first time: http://www.chow.com/photos/358821
- a little silver tea stirrer shaped like a twig with a bee on top
- glass tea cups with bees on them--see a theme?
- a colander with holes in the shape of grape clusters
- April Katt, a.k.a. the real kattyeyes
And while "lovely" may not be the right word to describe it, a vintage "Ice Cold Coca- Cola Served Here" tin sign shaped like an arrow hangs over my stove. Though I don't drink much Coke anymore, I love it and will always be a Coca-Cola kid at heart.
re: Sam Fujisaka
North American phoenetic spelling.
My Henckel Four Star Chef's Knife may not be the most popular in its class, but it's the most beautiful to me:
(mine is about 15 years old so may be a little different than the one in the link)
I love these threads, but it is SO hard for me to keep this to a short list. I have carefully, over many years and through some trial and error, picked each and every tool, piece of equipment, bakeware and serving pieces so that I am only surrounded by things that I truly love. I have edited out the stuff that didn't make me happy and most of it went the way of past garage sales. I love my kitchen and it makes me really happy to be in it and using the things that I love so much. :)
re: flourgirl
I'm impressed ... everything in the kitchen both beautiful and useful! I have lots that are both, but some of the other as well (only useful) ... my plain Pyrex pie plates are nothing to write home about, for example ... Most of my measuring tools are pretty unexciting, though I do have a pretty green Depression glass measure.
re: flourgirl
I'm getting there, too. But I've been "editing" my kitchen for over 30 years. Some things just won't go away, however. ;-) The Cuisinart food processor I got in 1982--butt ugly and beat up--just keeps on working and working and working, making it impossible to justify a shiny, colorful, KitchenAid version.
re: Beckyleach
Becky, you are preaching to the choir. I do NOT replace things that still function fine but aren't that pretty. That's why it's taken me so long to get to this point (that, and not having unlimited funds so I do a LOT of careful, bargain hunting.) My dishwasher for example, is, swear to god, over 20 years old. But I;ve NEVER had to have it repaired and it just keeps chugging along. It'll get replaced when it kicks the bucket. At least the outside of it still looks pretty good. The inside- well that's a whole other story.
But generally what happened is that as my skills grew I outgrew stuff I had purchased previously and upgraded to better quality items. Again, mostly through VERY careful and patient shopping - over the course of almost 20 years.
And foie, I didn't mean to suggest that every single thing in my kitchen is a work of art. It's not - but for instance, I appreciate the simple design and function of my good quality stainless steel measuring cups (which long ago replaced the crappy plastic ones I had). I love my Chicago metallic perforated pie pans - not exciting but beautiful to me in the way form meets function. Stuff like that.
re: flourgirl
But if I had to pick a few things in my kitchen that are truly "lovely", it would be all the pieces of handmade functional pottery we've been collecting for years as well as this absolutely gorgeous crate and barrel seedy glass cake stand I bought a few years back that looks like draped material. I never get tired of looking at it.
I also LOVE my collection of vintage commercial chocolate molds in various seashell shapes that hang on the wall. They're cast metal and the kinds of molds with multiple rows of shapes. I put the collection together frorm ebay auctions over the years and I think it's pretty unique.
re: flourgirl
Oh, didn't mean to appear preachy. I'm just slightly annoyed in a good way at the longevity of some of my stuff. Thank god it's not avocado green, at least. One handy thing: my elder daughter has her own apartment, for the first time, so that was a great "excuse" to pass on the not-quite-great knives (yay! Wusthof Ikons for me ) and the remaining good but not great cookware.
Truly the ONLY things in my kitchen that aren't "lovely" are my counters and floors--cheap imitation butcher block laminate and grey industrial CARPET!!!-- and there's no money to do anything about that till both girls are through college, so I'll just have to endure them.
re: Beckyleach
My laminate is bright yellow ... at first I found it a horror. The PO had told me it would grow on me, and I thought to myself, 'The lying [bad word],' but it was actually true. I now find it quite cheerful ...
In my drawers I have Longaberger baskets, with a silverware insert in one, and in the others are organized a) metal utensils, b) measuring tools, and c) other stuff. I've had them for many years now, and enjoy them every time I open my drawers. I have another matching shallow basket in one of my spice cabinets for the plastic bags bulk spices come in.
re: foiegras
Oooh, I love my Longaberger baskets, too...but they are on a rolling rack in my sunroom (overflow from my kitchen)...one round one and one skinny one...potatoes, onions, shallots, stuff like that all go in...and I have a breadbasket atop the fridge...all with the pretty blue weave in them. And I have a double-decker pie basket for going places and bringing treats! :)
re: Beckyleach
Becky, I guess what I really meant to say is, I think we think alike. And it is amazing how long some older stuff can last. We just replaced the washer and dryer after 17 yrs (although we had to repair both units a couple of times over the years - repairs we did ourselves.) But I will say, that now that I have new machines - which are plain, simple low frill machines - I'm kind of sorry I waited this long to replace them. I hadn't realized how hard it had become getting the laundry until I got the new ones.
My two favorite items in the kitchen are,
1)My set of vegetable peelers I got for Christmas. They're from williams and sonoma.
2) And my set of all clad measuring cups, also from williams and sonoma, also a Christmas gift.
My four Le Creuset DOs in carribean, kiwi, gray, and flame, harmonized look together. My All-Clad saucier. Four Apilco white french porcelain bakers perfectly nesting. Last not least, the loveliest is ofcourse ME in my kitchen:)
My knives - Hiromoto gyuto, CCK cleaver, kikuichi yanagiba, tojiro honesuke, misono hankotsu, a thinned tosagata nakiri and parer, a few others.
And - on the rare occasions she wanders through - my wife.
Just like flourgirl I have researched, searched out and chosen every single thing in my kitchen so it is always a joy to walk in and be surrounded. Every little thing that catches my eye makes me happy. But mostly, the loveliest thing is the sight of my family eating and my boys when they tell me I could compete in the finest kitchens. Hey, they may be overstating things but that will always be the loveliest thing - a family that comes for the food and stays to spend time together. That's always worth cooking for.
re: flourgirl
When I first put a kitchen together it was a case of castoffs from family and filling in inexpensively as the need arose.
When I married I picked out a stainless pattern I still love - I works for me visually and it also just has the right feel in my hand:
This was the only item that there was an argument over during the divorce!
Over time my aesthetic became more defined and I became a better and more knowledgeable cook. As I replace or add items I now require them to be be functional, visually pleasing, feel good in my hand and make me happy when I look at them.
Some of my can't do without items also have an emotional aspect. Each time I use my grandmothers Foley Mill I tap into memories of her applesauce making marathons when she would visit - bringing said mill with her! My favorite cooking fork belonged to my ex's mother.
She was an amazing woman and a terrific cook - she has been gone for 20 years and I still miss her daily. Each time I hold that fork in my hand I feel instantly connected to her. That battered, cheap aluminum fork is a thing of beauty to me!
My favorite chefs knife is lovely in many ways, especially since it was the first "good" piece I purchased for myself. I was buying a wedding gift and realized that I had no problem spending the money on a loved one, yet I couldn't do that for myself. I decided this was an issue I needed to work on (self love, blah, blah, blah) and this was the result. It is still my favorite knife many years later!
Other items are the multitude of handmade bowls and mugs that have come my way. My Le Creuset beanpot also makes me enormously happy. The color, the shape, the perfection of the finished dish plus at a fantastic price at Tuesday Morning!
re: meatn3
We have a stainless set made by the same company (ours is Gorham Fairview) and there probably would be squabbles about it should we end up in divorce court. ;-)
My two daughters already both wanted it so I went and bought another eight places settings on Ebay, recently. Now they each can have half.
I have an old 6 qt. copper bowl with a beautiful patina, a cobalt blue seeded glass pitcher, an older turquoise blue ceramic batter bowl, a green Depression glass cake plate with little feet, and my tomato salt and pepper shakers, all stored within sight, but safely out of reach of my marauding kitchen cats.
My tapered french pastry rolling pin
My grandmothers pink, tulip shaped, tea pot
My Chef's knife.
Three simple things that make me happy on a daily basis.
Lots of things, but the most precious is a paring knife my father made for my mother out of a tire knife - the handle fit her hand perfectly as it does mine now, and the blade wore down over the 40 or so years she used it into a silhouette of her right index finger. Would kill me to lose it.
We redid our kitchen a couple years ago and I was able to design it myself so I've got a lot, right now, that really tickles me. But standing out among them, I think, are three things:
• my big soapstone sink, it was an indulgence but it's a joy several times every single day
• the Tapmaser control on my kitchen faucets that let's me operate them with a touch of the toe http://www.tapmaster.ca/us/
• my baking center with a baking height counter and storage for essentials like flour, sugar, etc. in Lexan third pans in the drawers beneath
• oh, and the composting pan (also a third pan -- only this one is stainless) that fits in my trash & recycling pullout
When my dad was visiting Marseilles in the 1970s, he happened upon a junk shop for scrap metal. He couldn't believe what he saw - hundreds of antique copper pots, pans, containers, canisters, ladles, etc, all well-oxidized and ready for the smelting furnace. Picking out the best and most varied pieces he could, he had them crated and shipped back home to Pennsylvania These adorned mom's kitchen until we sold the house in 1994. Now they are gleaming like new and hanging around the kitchen of my 1767 farmhouse. Good eye, dad!.
re: Chefpaulo
Good story :)
There's only a couple of things I actually want from my parents kitchens. My Dad does have a chromatic harmonica I want though...
Haha--if I'm honest, I'd have to say the thing that gives me the most pleasure is usually the *next* pretty thing I'm eyeing to purchase!
I do have an ever-growing set of Fire & Light dinnerware
--plates/pieces in every color, it's impossible to set a table that isn't striking. (pic below)
re: blue room
Those look beautiful!
re: blue room
I agree--those are absolutely striking. Thanks for the introduction. Like I need more things on my wish list! ;) Damn you, blue room.
re: kattyeyes
ahahahahahaha! So true!!!! :)
re: flourgirl
re: blue room
I met the folks who make these at a fine craft show 7 or 8 years ago. Super nice people. I fell completely in love with the dinnerware. The colors are great and they simply glow. They mix and match perfectly.
I'm still waiting for a little more space and then I'll expand my collection too!
I love all these stories. Thanks for posting.
I too have a Henckel four star chef's knive which I love to use.
Some 40 years ago, while in college in Buffalo, I bought a pint-sized white ceramic pitcher at the Georg Jensen store while spending a weekend in Toronto. It's from Figgjo, a Norwegian maker, with Turi Gramstad Oliver's "Market" pattern in "handpainted silkscreen" shades of green. It was one of the first things I bought solely on aesthetic appeal. At first I rarely used it, but ten years later when I got my first microwave, the pitcher was just right for heating water for tea or coffee. Its perfect lip never drips (listen up, Pyrex measuring cup!). its handle is comfortable and perfectly angled to facilitate comfortable pouring, and the wide base kept it from tipping over if jostled. Then came that fateful day in 2008 when, wet from washing, it slipped from my hand and cracked as it hit the floor. I sought a replacement on eBay for months. The shape is not very common - a few appeared, but in various countries, and pricier than I could justify. I also looked in vain for something equally pleasing from other manufacturers. Meanwhile I discovered the Figgjo egg cup, with whose lovely design I became ridiculously obsessed. And there were other Turi patterns as attractive as Market.....I finally found, settled on, and won a pitcher in Turi's Lotte pattern, in lilac, olive, and navy on white, but not before I'd already bought a Market egg cup and a set of 4 solid olive ones. I am happy with the Lotte pitcher, but I still need to get over its cracked Market predecessor, which remains on the shelf as I wonder whether I should find somewhere to have it professionally repaired.
In terms of usefulness, my plastic cutting board is perfectly designed. It has a cut-out handle which allows it to be hung on the outside of a cabinet, and on the other end, the edges are bent upward, funneling chopped food so that it can be neatly poured into a pan.
When it comes to equipment, functional design is even more important to me than aesthetics, but as an Art History major, I get special pleasure from attractive objects. My best friend gave me a Shaker reproduction basket which is also a favorite.
re: greygarious
You might ask your insurance agent for a repair recommendation if you decide to go that route ... are you thinking just for display? I got my recommendation from someone with a huge Arts & Crafts pottery collection who had a fire that cracked most of his pottery.
I have many Pyrex measures, and I think the spouts must be hand-shaped, there's so much variation. I recently discarded one because its spout was so bad. I have another the same size that's perfect ...
re: greygarious
Don't know if it is the right pattern, but there is one on EBAY for 24.99...
FF Figgjo Flint Turi Norway MARKET milk/6" pitcher -HTF
re: greygarious
I had not been familiar with this company - your post set me off on a search and I ended up with a set of the egg cups! I guess breakfast with company is in my future...
Do you know if the ceramic skillets are just for gas or can they be used on an electric range?
Thanks for giving me a good excuse to add my 2 cents to help the economy!
re: meatn3
Oh dear, I feel like a pusher! What pattern did you get? I don't have a skillet - I THINK I recall once seeing a listing that said they could be used on electric or gas but wouldn't swear to it. Look for a listing that shows the underside - if memory serves, that's where I read it. Trivia: pocillovy is the word for egg cup collecting. There are books on it.
Bostonhound, I did get a replacement, just in a different pattern. If I got the cracked one repaired, I'd use it (with a leakproof insert) as a vase. The size I have is about 4" tall with a 4" bottom diameter. Figgjo has been folded into another manufacturer. They may still make plain institutional ware, but these patterns haven't been made in decades. Too bad - they are as functional as they are attractive. Meatn3, I hope you'll e-mail me privately to report on how you like the cups once they arrive.
re: greygarious
I stumbled upon the the olive green ones that you mentioned! A set of four for $1.25 + s/h! Green has been my favorite color for the last 15 years I think, so they will fit into my mishmash collection of dishes rather well. Perhaps they will encourage me to be a better breakfast eater.
There is something about egg cups that draw me. My family never used them. My maternal grandmother had a few and she (once into her senior years) made soft boiled eggs every morning for her husband and Yorkshire terrier. The Yorkie was fussier about the timing of the eggs than my grandfather...
An eggcup seems like a little throne or alter to the amazingly versatile egg. Here you are preparing and eating it about as simply as can be, and this lovely object cradles and reminds you of how wonderful an egg really is. Plus egg cups are just too cute, a category of which I am a complete sucker for!
Keep pushing! This is another thing so great about this community - learning about great new-to-me products from people who have similar addictions!
My kitchen is pretty utilitarian, but warm. Think English and Scandinavian (my grandpappa was Swedish, maternal side is Finnish) so lots of warm wood, cream, linens, white, wooden pcs from Sweden, pewter and stainless.
So my lovely things are:
Well used copper bowls, my breadboard, English creamware, this copper egg-shaped egg steamer from Sur LaTable, my carbon steel pans, my shiny All Clad, Spode Blue Italian, wood spoons, wine label "tiles" that I made, and more.
I love my small-ish kitchen, it's very intimate and cozy. I would think the Two Fat Ladies would love to join me and we could cook a wonderful roast beast.
Everyone wants to hang in there when I entertain, but it really is small!
kind of on a related subject.
seems that no matter the question, true foodies are enjoyers of anything in their kitchen, I know I relish at just standing and pondering what's on my shelves, in my cupboards and pantry, etc.

Kids at the Northside Child Development Center are working to fight against bullying over the next week.
The children are taking part in an event called the Great Kindness Challenge which is a powerful anti-bullying tool in collaboration with kids for peace.
The kids each receive a check list with 50 different challenges for them to accomplish over the next week.
Seventy percent of young people have admitted to seeing bullying, and Northside believes the earlier they teach kids to be kind the better off they will be.
"If we can continue to encourage that teach that and support that then those behaviors will stay with them not only here in preschool and kindergarten but stay with them through life, and that is what we're about," said Principal Zechariah Hoyt.
Not only the young kids are taking part in the event. Students in high school are also participating in the program.

The lights are on
Considering that Game Informer has been covering the industry for the better part of 20 years, we've managed to amass quite the video game collection here at the office. We don't want our thousands of games to just sit and gather dust in the vault, so Replay was born. In these segments, we'll be grabbing games from every system and genre imaginable and popping them in to see how they've held up over the years. Keep an eye on Replay to relive fond (and not so fond) memories from gaming's past.
On this week's episode, we check out Shiny's first attempt to bring the action of the Matrix to video games.
We pop in 2002's polarizing Mario platformer.
We take a look at one of the few RPGs for the N64 and sing some songs for your entertainment.
Has any game before or after it ever featured a gigantic singing, slinging pile of excrement?
As a special treat to Friday the 13th observers, we've decided to air this week's episode of Replay a day early.
This episode features a game a lot more recent and a lot less good than previous editions.
With the gaming world ready to return to San Andreas, we take a look back at CJ's criminal activities.
Atlus's PR manager swung by GI, and we let him select any game he wanted for a special episode of Replay.
With the recent release of The Thing, a prequel to John Carpenter's
1982 film called The Thing, we thought it was time to replay the 2002
video game sequel, also called The Thing.
We bid a fond farewell to Dan Ryckert and party it up!
We revisit a certain PSone era title featuring a soul-sucking vampire named Raziel.
We relive the unnerving PSone survival horror classic. Has it retained its creepiness, or has time mellowed it?

Hassan® font family
Designed by Hassan Sobhi Mourad in 1993
An individual Naskh style, Hassan cleverly combines elegant proportions echoing an inscriptional Thuluth in its tall vertical stems and deeply rounded final jim and ain. The effect of verticality is enhanced by the tense, reined-in kerning strokes of ra and waw, the well-poised lam-alif, and the compactly drawn ligatures.
The broad-band strokes of Hassan Bold smooth some of the angularity and relax the tension apparent in the Light. The traditional-style ligatures are rendered with an easy flow.
Because of the economical character count, Hassan Light and Bold text may be headed by the compact titling styles in the range (Hisham, Mariam) as well as designs like Ahmed or Kufi which answer to the inscriptional qualities of Hassan. In addition to other uses, Hassan would be particularly suited to document text-setting
Hassan's two OpenType weights include Latin glyphs from Janson Text Roman, and Janson Text Bold, respectively, inside the font files, allowing a single font to set text in both most Western European and Arabic languages. The OpenType glyph ranges incorporate Basic Latin (Western CP 1252 Latin 1/ANSI and Macintosh US Roman) and the Arabic character set (CP 1256), which supports Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. The fonts include tabular and proportional Arabic, Persian, and Urdu numerals, as well as a set of tabular European (Latin) numerals."

Well, don't forget that this is still Chap 2. The purpose of the vampire attacks wouldn't be to kill the PC - it'd be to herd the PC to Spellhold where Irenicus could perform his ritual and steal his/her soul. Making life on the mainland untenable for the PC would be one way to do this if the PC is too inclined to forgive and forget. Thus, the dialogue wouldn't be misplaced gloating. It could be a straightforward explanation of why the PC has incurred a curse of vampires. And it wouldn't even have to be given directly to the PC; any prominent NPC could be used as a go-between. Lots of plot twists could be inserted if this is settled on as a basic mechanism to get the PC to Spellhold.
i like the idea, but why would a vampire... say, your enemies "the bad dude whos behind your downfall is irenicus and he's hiding in spellhold" like... it sounds like a james bond cliche, no? the bad guy telling you their exact plan while he thinks you are about to die?

Well, I see you have your next mod project.
Honestly, if you want to roleplay a character who stubornly refuses ever to leave the Seven Veils tavern, you can. It'll get mighty dull after a while, but that's your choice. You have a Good reason (save Imoen) and two arguably Evil reasons (Kill Irenicus, Gain Power from Irenicus) to go after him. If your character still doesn't care, have fun on the mainland.
Well, you see, I really dont give a damn about Imoen, and i dont care for power, just like Idobek. Thing is, if you are like this, you just HAVE to go to spellhold anyway to end the damned game. If i was truly rolaplaying i could say i'd live a really quiet SIMs life in Amn, but lets get real, i kill imoen in sight (then dump her body in the road) and i STILL have to pretend i care and go to spellhold to finish the game.
(The hard part will be in game mobile furniture)

Sticking to your projet paramaters is a good thing, and the only way you'll actually get anything done.
I`m not entirely sure we should change the game`s main plot this much. I mean the scope of the mod actually is getting hired by the Cowled Wizards, doing quests and gaining Spellhold. Maybe some extras with the Planar Sphere mod.
As it is, you have a built in new way to get the party to Spellhold, and an easy, dialog only new reason for them to go; The Cowled Ones haven't had contact with Spellhold for a few days and want it investigated. That's enough.

Posted 25 July 2004 - 09:50 AM
way I see it: If Irenicus says he can unlock your power further:
1) are you going to give the PC extra abilities after spellhold(not likely, Irenicus is a liar)?
If everyone turns against you, make sure it is the style of "I don't have anything to sell to you today!" "Me wares are not for the likes of ye!"
"Not a thought for those who spill innocent blood!"
and not...
"Hey, you're that Bhaalspawn that's been killin' the human folk! I will bring you to justice....Eyaaah!" - And you kill him since he's red-circled, and your scripts are on... and your rep goes down...

This is still a railroad solution of course but not so obviously so. Another tactic would simply be to have Bodhi and her minions attack whatever place the PC is in and plant the word among the civilians that the "PC's curse" is the reason for the Undead infestation. This would eventually mean that every NPC in the game would either attack the PC or run away. Plus, the vampires would also begin attacking the party. Eventually, the PC will can flat out be told (by one of the vampires) that Irenicus' enmity is behind all this and that Spellhold is the place to deal with it.
This would be quite impossible because have everyone in Athkatla attack the PC would result in a herendous loss in reputation and would intefere with the non-linear quests in the game. It would, due to a reputaion loss cause the cowled wizards to hunt the PC and that would not not make much sense. I think the fact that the PC is a Bhaalspawn would need to be kept relatively secret.
How about: Irenicus had already drained part of your soul before you escaped from his dungeon in chapter 1. You don't have slayer powers yet, but maybe you occasionally lose control (start attacking party members for a few seconds). That should be reason enough to go to spellhold.
I think this would make the game seriously difficult (and annoying) to play.
The Cowled Ones haven't had contact with Spellhold for a few days and want it investigated. That's enough.
This, I think is a sufficient excuse. The PC is working for the Cowled Wizards after all.

However, the latter solution fails to fully address the problem with the plot. If you have no motivation to get to Spellhold, the player is just left milling around Athkatla with nothing to aim for and no idea what is going on. There needs to be a strong plot drive based around the player trying to achieve something rather than just waiting for anything interesting to happen.
As such, the "Irenicus has already drained some of your soul" thing is possibly the best explanation I've seen so far.

I do not agree that CHARNAME doesn't have sufficient motivation to go to Spellhold even in the base game, unless the player is intentionally being obstinate.
"I don't care about the fate of my childhood companion, or revenge, or power, I just want to have adventures . . ."
Fine, have adventures.
"But I've run out of adventures!"
Game's over then, eh?
"But there was no final movie or end of game sequence!"

I actually agree with you - plenty of times I played the game "till going to Spellhold" and then abandoned it and still live.

Earlier this year, the state of Kansas gave one resident $516,000. It was money he didn't even know he had. Not everyone will be that lucky, but they won't know until they turn out for the Unclaimed Property Returns Tour.
State Treasurer Ron Estes is traveling to each of the 105 counties in Kansas in hopes of giving away more than $230 million worth of unclaimed property. It can be anything from unclaimed utility deposits from college, old bank accounts or your grandparents' old safe deposit box.
Estes says the tour has been successful so far.
"One of the things we're doing now, is going out to each county and having a stop and visiting and encouraging folks to come by and check for themselves or family members. we're finding folks at every stop we've been at," said Estes.
Thursday's stops include Butler and Harvey counties, but you don't have to visit the tour in person to find out if you've hit the jackpot. Kansans who can't make it to the events may call the State Treasurer's office at 1-800-432-0386 or log onto www.KansasCash.com to search for unclaimed property.

Beware of skimmers at gas pump, money machines
Updated On: May 08 2013 06:20:00 AM EDT
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. Between 8 and 12 million people could be victims in a single year. Thieves are proving they'll go to extraordinary measures to steal from you.
"Went to the hotel and were surprised by what we found," said US Postal Inspector, Dan Taylor.
Postal Inspectors got a tip to search a hotel room after a suspect was arrested with several stolen credit cards.
A camera was pointing at a gas station where the suspect in custody had placed a skimming device on a pump.
"He recorded 40 hours' worth of transactions and he was also logging PIN Numbers as he was watching his victims," explained Taylor.
The suspect had all the magnetic strip information on each credit card along with the numbers. It was the perfect storm for ID theft.
"Many times what these ID thieves are after is quick cash. With counterfeit credit cards we see a lot of cash advances basically bleed the card for every bit it is worth," said Taylor.
Gas pumps are often a target but there are some things you can do to protect yourself.
"If you see something on there that doesn't look right – first of all – don't use it," warned Taylor.
Also, make sure you report it right away.
"Many times the scammers are keeping close surveillance on their skimming device. If law enforcement can be notified maybe we can catch them in the act," Taylor added.
Postal Inspectors say it is so important to protect your credit and banking information.
"This guy took extraordinary measures to get the information, it just shows the determination some criminals have and they will do anything to steal your money," said Taylor.
The suspect in this particular case was convicted on ID theft charges and is currently in prison.

The frequency of seminars varies—some departments have seminars every week while others are held every other week or at even longer intervals. The seminars are often chaired by a professor, but other researchers with doctorates may also be assigned the role of seminar chair.
Another doctoral student is often given the assignment of reviewing another student's contribution, which also means that the seminars provide training in preparation for the public defence of a thesis. In the natural sciences, engineering and medicine it is more common to work in groups or research teams, which offers better opportunities for continuous quality assessments of a student's work, for instance through the challenge of writing a paper for an international journal reviewed by expert researchers before publication.

By JEFF MEZYDLO
(AP) -- Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein probably wishes he could have made the trip to Boston to see his new team outplay his old one.
Backed by some strong pitching, Chicago is in position to sweep the Red Sox with a fourth consecutive road victory Wednesday night.
Family obligations kept the former Red Sox general manager from returning to Boston for the first time in his role with Chicago (36-46), but he should be pleased with the Cubs' play in the series.
One night after Jake Arrieta took a no-hitter into the eighth inning of a 2-0 victory, five pitchers held the Red Sox (38-46) to seven singles and a double in a 2-1 win Tuesday.
Luis Valbuena's sacrifice fly in the ninth broke the tie that led to Chicago's fourth win in six games and secured its third straight winning road series.
"It's a young team, and it's nice to come in here with this atmosphere," Anthony Rizzo told MLB's official website. "We know we can compete with everyone, and I think this is a big confidence builder for everyone on the team."
Boston, meanwhile, has scored two or fewer runs in seven straight games - four of which it lost.
"It gets a little frustrating at times, particularly with the number of opportunities we continue to create," manager John Farrell said. "And that's the thing that we have to continue to focus on internally, is that the opportunities are there and yet at times we're not cashing in."
Facing Boston for the first time, Travis Wood (7-6, 4.52 ERA) will try to win his third straight road start. The left-hander allowed seven runs and 10 hits in 2 2-3 innings of an 11-5 loss at Milwaukee on May 30, but has yielded three runs over 14 2-3 innings in his next two away from home.
He gave up three hits in eight innings during a 3-0 win at Philadelphia in his most recent road start June 15. However, Wood is 0-1 with a 4.76 ERA in two outings since then. He gave up three runs, seven hits and walked five in 6 2-3 innings of a 5-3 win over Washington on Thursday.
"Walks, in general, for me are disappointing," Wood, who has walked 39 in 16 games after allowing 66 in 32 starts last season, told MLB's official website.
Despite two straight losses, Boston has allowed three or fewer runs in a franchise-record 14 straight games at Fenway Park. The White Sox were the last AL team to accomplish such a feat in 15 consecutive home contests during the 1966 and 1967 seasons.
Brandon Workman (1-1, 3.27) allowed four runs, with three coming off two homers, in seven innings of a 6-0 loss at Yankee Stadium on Friday in his first outing after serving a six-game suspension for throwing near the head of Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria on May 30.
The right-hander is making his first appearance against the Cubs and first start during interleague play. He's posted a 10.13 ERA in three games against NL opponents.
Dustin Pedroia recorded his third three-hit game in his last four Tuesday. He's batting .333 (7 for 21) versus Chicago at Fenway.
Teammate Xander Bogaerts, however, is 0 for 17 with seven strikeouts in his last five games, and 2 for 42 in his last 11.
Chicago shortstop Starlin Castro is batting .444 (16 for 36) in his last nine road games.

The color on this plate is fantastic! Not only the color but the whole plate. There are 3 rabbits in the center, under each rabbit is some thistle. On the outside edge of the plate is a rhyme, " Rabbits three and ears as few. Yet each rabbit has it's own two". The plate is in wonderful condition, the only fault I can find is a little rubbing on the parts of the rabbits that are raised. The color is the darkest red of the photos. This is really a gorgeous plate that I date to the 1880s or 90s.
This plate measures 8" wide, and is 1" deep.

WASHINGTON, DC - Fraud and questionable marketing practices are just some of the latest findings announced Wednesday after a national wide government investigation into for-profit colleges industry.
Over a three month period the Government Accountability Office, or GAO, conducted undercover investigations into the recruitment processes of 15 for-profit colleges.
"The evidence points to a problem that is systemic...a problem that is systemic... to the for profit industry. A recruitment process specifically
designed to do whatever it takes to drive up enrollment numbers....more often then not to the disadvantage of students," said Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa.
The GAO provided undercover videos of schools promising potential students higher than averages wages after graduation, refusing to allow students to access to financial aid counselors until after enrolment, and encouraging students to lie on financial aid forms in-order to obtain more government grants.
"We found that four colleges encouraged our students to commit fraud, all fifteen provided deceptive and questionable information," said Gregory Kutz, GAO Managing Director of Forensic Audits.
It is estimated for-profit college enrollment has increased from 600,000 to nearly 2 million in the past ten years. In 2009 students at these colleges received $4 billion in Pell grants and more than $20 billion in federal loans from the Department of Education. The dropout rate at for-profit colleges is extremely high, and the GAO said the goal for many of these schools is to enroll students, not necessarily keep them.
"These colleges to not appear to have any enrollment standards and cost appears to be irrelevant because the federal government is paying for a vast majority of this. So the aggressive marketing to anybody walking in the door should not be a surprise to anybody," said Kutz.
However, the GAO said this does not mean all for-profit colleges are deceptive, Sen. Mike Enzi ( R- WY) said for-profits are an integral part of
higher education, and many of these problems are not exclusive to these types of schools.
"By focusing only on for profits we are not being objective and we're ignoring the bigger picture of what's happening across all hire education....public and non profit schools are not immune from inappropriate behavior when it comes to recruiting," said Sen. Enzi.
Senators said these schools need to be held accountable, the GAO said there is a risk the schools will blame rouge employees.

This is Pam holding her godchild, Paige.
Photo: Submitted,
On the evening of February 5th, 2012 we lost a most significant person in our lives, our first born daughter. She was 52 and her death was instant and unexpected. No chance to say goodbye or one last kiss (on the lips).
She wasn't anyone famous, just a wife, mom to three beautiful grown children, a daughter, a sister, and a good and loyal friend.
She was funny, compassionate, loving, intelligent, creative, loved all animals, she was a great cook, a wise mother, a varocious reader, the worst croquet player in the Twin City area and a wonderful line dancer to a melody only she heard. Everyone loved being around her.
She became a grandmother 9 months and one week after she died. She REALLY wanted to be a grandmother.
We miss her beyond words, but know that she is with us always in our heart.
Love you Pam, Mom and Dad
