Jake Shimabukuro Raises up the Ukulele at Cerritos
By Glen Creason
The ukulele has a rather short and simple history since it was developed in the Hawaiian Islands in the late 19th century, inspired by Portuguese instruments and made popular world-wide by the Pan-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. It has since been hugely popular all over the world and used by amateurs and a few professionals to perform small songs with zippy melodies. Enter Jake Shimabukuro, the young Phenom who opened the instrument to unlimited potential and has practically broken YouTube with some of his dazzling performances with the uke. Apparently, a good portion of those impressed YouTube millions were just waiting for Jake to visit So Cal and the Performing Arts Center was thrillingly packed to the rafters for this Saturday show. At 36 the guy has already been compared to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis which would make most of us want to stop there. Yet, he plays like he loves the instrument and wants to prove its beauty in every note. He praised the great hall when he came to the stage and then put his hands on the ukulele, the rest is hall history.
Shimabukuro did not disappoint, as a matter of fact he took the adoring crowd past their expectations to places none of us knew existed in this kind of music. He was charming, poised, humble and talented beyond what even his fans could expect. He played fast (Orange World, Uke 5-0, Dragon, Thriller!, Third Stream), he played with soul (Sakura, Ichigo Ichie, 153, Hi ilawe, In My Life) he strummed heart-strings (Blue Roses Falling, Ave Maria, Boy Meets Girl) and throughout he climbed great musical mountains without ever looking anything but exhilarated. It certainly did not hurt that he had his entire repertoire resting on a fine bass platform provided by handsome Nolan Verner who seemed to be having almost as much fun as Shimabukuro. By the end of the nearly two hour banquet of sound Jake Shimabukuro merely had to begin a couple of notes of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" to a pin-drop silence that ended with his last note, followed by a huge standing ovation.

Mary Chapin Carpenter with Tifft Merritt October 12, 2014
Mary Chapin Carpenter at Cerritos: a rare privilege
By Glen Creason
For at least the last twenty-five years Mary Chapin Carpenter has been one of America's greatest singer-songwriters but has never gotten the acclaim she deserves in my opinion. As the years go by she keeps making excellent records comprised of very personal and memorable songs without too much fanfare. Just having her at Cerritos was a coup for the Center but the show she put on made them all look better than good. In a long and satisfying Sunday evening performance she sang touching ballads, made witty banter and got the packed house up on its feet for a heartfelt standing ovation at the conclusion of her encore of "I Feel Lucky" which described all of us in attendance.
At this show she opted to lean toward the introspective which was fine with most of the house who often had to dab at their eyes in beauties like "Why Walk When You Can Fly," "This Shirt," "Rhythm of the Blues" and the truly magnificent "Only a Dream" which seems to have been written to my own brother. Like the seasoned pro that she is there were up-tempo breaks like "Stones in the Road," "Take My Chances" and a hard rocking "Hard Way" lead by the powerhouse guitar of John Doyle. Still, there were exceptional moments that demonstrated how Ms. Chapin Carpenter rises above good to great. Few artists can announce a new song and win the crowd but her "Hand on My Back" received standing ovations and the story and song of "John Doe #24" had Kleenex pulled all over the house. Despite the large hall, there was an intimacy that was palpable and expressed in little gems like "Transcendental Reunion" and "I Have a Need for Solitude" that just made the center sweetly cozy.
The show was opened by one of music's best kept secrets, the amazing singer-songwriter Tifft Merritt who in an economical half hour gave those new to her great talents something to think about. Songs like "Feel of the World," "Feeling of Beauty" and the achingly beautiful "Travelling Alone" showed the power of her gifts. Her covers of Joni Mitchell's "For Free" and Tom Waits "Train Song" never sounded better by anybody, even the originals.

Jay Leno September 28, 2014
Jay Leno Opens Cerritos Season
By Glen Creason
Has success spoiled Jay Leno? That was the question for the many who crowded the Performing Arts Center over the weekend to hear the comedian hold court in his first visit to Cerritos. It has been said that Leno banks his salary from hosting "the Tonight Show" and lives off his busy stand-up schedule which truly seems to be his passion. Then again, the Center would have to go a long way to offer numbers of compensation impressive to a guy who is worth more than many counties in California and who owns more fine automobiles than most of us own articles of clothing. The two-hundred cars in his "garage" demonstrate that he certainly does not need Cerritos money but on Saturday night he gave everyone in the packed hall their money's worth. For over an hour and a half Leno hardly took a breath and his rapid-fire observations on current events and the foibles of modern society kept the place rocking with laughter from the upper balcony to the sometimes foils in the front of the orchestra. While many just remember Jay Leno as the host who has sat alongside the greatest stars and celebrities in the entertainment world, he is also one fantastic comedian!
My favorite new big word is paraprosdokian which describes the turn of humor in which there is a twist on the logical punchline. Jay Leno is a real master of paraprosdokian comedy where he begins with a pedestrian subject like local laws and makes it hilarious in his slant on the truth of the matter. On this night that may have included gay people in Salt Lake City, flip-phones, thieving monkeys, Thai nomenclature, Hugh Hefner's opinions on sexual mores, side-effects of medicines, over-eating, Catholics, Mormons, Anthony Wiener, car accessories, alternative fuels, cats, dogs, airports and families. While that might seem like a catalog of the mundane, in the quicksilver mind of Jay Leno those topics left tears of laughter dampening audience faces and kept a steady flow of roars echoing across the great hall. Yet, the best of all was the closest to Leno's heart as in the descriptions of his parents that rose above even the constant laughter to the kind of gut-laughs that almost hurt. You have to tip your hat to the craft of the man: as a dyslexic he has overcome a lot and rose to great heights. This makes his ability to keep thousands laughing for over ninety minutes without even a note card to guide him all the more impressive.
The show was opened by the fine and mellow "Street Corner Renaissance", five very cool gents who demonstrated the fine art of a Capella singing. I would say the SCR took Doo-Wop above the street corner and made it concert worthy while igniting some old fuses of memory with winners like "Sh-Boom, This Magic Moment, Cloud 9, Come and Go With Me, Why Do Fools Fall in Love and the gorgeous "Up on the Roof." Appearing before a crowd anxious to hear their hero Jay Leno, the gentlemen won over Cerritos by the second song.

Lyons Laughs Last at Mother Nature
The Resurrection of Song at Lyons
There were stars shining down on the Rocky Mountains Folks Festival, plenty of musical stars that made this year's edition something truly remarkable. Beyond all the talent of the polished and passionate musicians, however were the sun and moon of Planet Bluegrass and the resolute people of Lyons, Colorado. Each and every artist who stood on the mostly dry festival stages marveled at the amazing transformation of a sea of debris and mud into the best outdoor venue in America. Killer floods broke hearts all across Colorado and all over the musical world seeming to end the possibility of sweet sounds in the red rocks being heard here ever again. Undaunted, folks rolled up their sleeves and performed a herculean labor of love. Hats were tipped and songs were sung by the hundreds this year but the greatest compliment to this work was the many festivarians who showed up with a joy and appreciation that bordered on spiritual devotion.
My nephew sent me a video last September that turned my stomach as I viewed the murky waters surge past where my family and I had sat in years past. So, the feeling of crunching down the main path toward the big stage on August 15th and finding the meadow filled with tarps and the folks who spread them was like seeing a long lost and dear friend. While the St. Vrain River is still fenced off in parts and uphill toward Estes Park looks like a Breughels painting of hell, the big stage stands high, dry and proud. Save one hell of a cloudburst on Friday afternoon it was a typical Folks Festival with a corn flower blue sky overhead, punctuated by puffy clouds and a good, strong Colorado sun illuminating the young, the grizzled and the in-between. Organization was so smooth that it gave cause to wish Planet Bluegrass might take on Congress and get that mess straightened out.
Oh yes, there was music in unforgettable sets that may have strained the Folks Festival Hall of Fame. It was truly a year for the women who rose above even some genuine living legends during this wonderful weekend. Each act seemed to feed off of the spirited performances before them and gave it their all…even the first acts to hit the stage. Women, as different as the sweet powder snowflakes of Colorado gave inspired performances that begged for encores in other times and places. Early on, Sarah Jarosz was superb, with clean, confident folk, spiced by covers from rock and pop legends like Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Cat Stevens. Ani DiFranco, the ageless role model and resident sage provided powerhouse impossible to define pop filled with thoughtful, socially conscious lyrics and fiery arrangements brought to the center by her guitar playing. Alynda Lee Segarra of "Hurray for the Riff Raff" spoke out for the people in the rapidly growing fringes of society in smart, insightful and passionately done songs. Imelda May was more like the pure musical Id rocking hard with no apologies for her rockabilly roots. In the pre-prandial performance of Saturday Ms. May and her scintillating guitar-playing husband raised temperatures in the already warm Lyons sun. Brandi Carlile was not to be outdone and finished the evening with an energetic and at times sensitive set that showed versatility and a connection with the audience that was very strong. Her songs were colorful, high-octane pop that made you forget the walls people seem to put up between themselves. When she sang "Keep Your Heart Young" my old blood felt revitalized. Last of the big-time ladies was the rookie of the year: Rachael Price of "Lake Street Dive" whose huge voice belies her petite beauty. Not exactly an overnight sensation, Lake Street Dive seems to be building a momentum that will give rise to folks bragging in the future of seeing them back in 2014. Price has versatility, charm and a voice as big as the Flatiron mountains smiling down on her Sunday set.
Ladies aside, there were so many other indelible memories in this year of the rebirth. There were expert songwriter gentlemen like John Fullbright and Josh Ritter. Fulbright's beautiful love songs "When You Are Here" and "She Knows" show that there are young people who can teach us a thing or two. Ritter's "Joy to You Baby" was worth a day in the sun alone. As for ensembles the very young and very good "Stray Birds" were the embodiment of the beauty of traditional music, playing clean and pristine lines that go back a long, long way. Again, without straining to define the style or influences of "Elephant Revival" this quintet created a mid-afternoon concert of such grace and inspired playing that it was terribly sad to see it end. Where else could you see washboard playing that is downright erotic. What gives "Elephant Revival" such a compelling charm is their utter synchronicity that blends to make a big, versatile sound with places for individual expression. You would also have to say that Ron Poltz was the embodiment of the spirit of Lyons when he soldiered on, sharing his set with a cloudburst that challenged artist and audience to stay and be moved, which they were in most part despite getting soaked.
There were impressive newcomers like Antje Duvekot and a song called "Dandelion" that defined the beauty of confidence and rocking Ron Pope who played the rock guitar like legends of 45 years ago, then crooned a sweet love song that won over the festivarians. Yes and the veteran Peter Himmelman who once again made an entire audience get up and laugh and dance. Brave young Ben Sollee began Sunday in the tough curtain raiser slot with just his nice baritone and a cello but won the morning.
Lastly, there were the two towering old professionals, two guys who can be called genius without any argument. Festival favorite Greg Brown gave one more inspired effort filled with musical wisdom, laughs and the occasional wiping of tears. Is there a better song on planet earth than "Tender Hearted Child?" I don't think so. Appropriately, since Brown performed later in the day he also described a few in my family "I gotta get up and move around/ It's been a long way up and a short way down/ I got bones, bones, old bones, still bones/ I'm creaking and groaning like an oak tree bent/ that strong old fellow, what happened to him?" The finale was perfect with the great Randy Newman just sitting at his 88's, pounding out one gem after another, interspersed by self-effacing humor that mixed a false arrogance with a celebration of the stages of life. He sang beauties like "Marie" and the so, so appropriate "Louisiana 1927" but he finished with a truly magnificent flourish, saving "Feels Like Home" from his brilliant opera Faust for the very wonderful last. It had been three days of brilliance, a weekend of inspiration, a trio of days to remember and a lot of Boulder ice cream.
So, with another birthday looming in just weeks I found that I gained understanding from the young people on the stage and around me on the tarps. When Greg Brown sings "I love to watch you learning/ I love to watch you grow/ I love to try to learn/ Some of what you know" it went directly through the ears and into the soul. Sometimes you win by taking the next hard step. Sometimes you find victory in endurance. Sometimes you learn that your own personal family drama begins and ends in your own heart. Lyons is a lesson for everyone not to quit when the situation seems overwhelmingly hopeless. From those dire days in September when Mother Nature showed us who was boss, Colorado folks showed plenty of what makes us a worthy foe. What better way to demonstrate the best of human nature than in celebrating life with music, the language of the human heart. What better way to show our best side than by gathering together on that dear meadow at Lyons.

Frank Ferrante in An Afternoon with Groucho April 13, 2014
An Afternoon With Groucho in Cerritos
By Glen Creason
Many folks in the very-full Sunday matinee performance of "An Afternoon with Groucho" were looking forward to re-connecting to their favorite comedian and re-living many of his funniest moments in a seven decade career that left him in a small handful of greats of American comedy. Most of us hardly knew just how close that comedian would come to us, including making the audience very much a part of the act. Certainly part of the genius of the television era Groucho was his sharp-witted winning of the people watching from the seats in studio and at home. The very entertaining show that came to our Cerritos was crafted by the extremely capable and polished hands and feet of Frank Ferrante who has been perfecting this performance piece since the 80's when he was a drama student at USC. While folks were hungry to hear the old Groucho wit brought back to life, this afternoon show was actually far better than advertised. This may be the last time I refer to Ferrante as his goal is to make you believe Groucho is back on stage again and the actor does the old and young man proud without being at all sentimental or sappy. Not only does he tell the story of the rise of the Marx brothers in small, colorful vignettes and dialogue from their shows in vaudeville and on the silver screen but he, like his mentor, is a master of ad-libbing. The Groucho that came to Cerritos on this afternoon was very much in the 90703 and made the city a part of the celebration with hilarious results. As a matter of fact he made the audience very important participants in the fun that included scolding a reviewer for taking such pathetic notes. Guilty as charged Julius.
Fans did get to enjoy the great bon-mots from the films and heard the songs every Marx brothers aficionado know by heart like "Hello I Must Be Going," "Everyone Says I Love You," "Lydia the Tattooed Lady," "Tit-willow" "Omaha Nebraska" and "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" which "Groucho" crooned in his very strong voice. Ferrante also used his physical comedy gifts to set up gags and make the Performing Arts stage like another scene from one of the classic Marx Brothers films. Yet, the very best bits in the show came from the superb timing and asides that were so essentially Groucho. It made you long to see this Groucho back at the mike of "You Bet Your Life" and when he bantered with the folks in the front row and a kid named Quentin you got a glimpse of the very true genius of one of America's national treasures.

Norman Brown and Gerald Albright March 15, 2014
Norman Brown and Gerald Albright Fill It Up at Cerritos
Glen Creason
A full house in a festive mood greeted two master musicians on Saturday night and it might be a good thing they did not pay the men by the note because there were many, many thousands that ricocheted around the Performing Arts Center. Veterans of many a concert and musical genre Norman Brown, the guitarist with the 78 rpm fingers and Gerald Albright, the saxophonist with the hurricane-like lungs filled it up while the well-dressed crowd rocked in rhythm all night. Both men have plenty of soul and depth of musical understanding but the truly amazing part of this concert with the skill mixed with unreal stamina. Albright claimed to be AARP but he must be dipping his horn into the fountain of youth. Norman Brown heats that Eastman guitar up to white hot degrees.
Norman Brown opened the show with some opening chords from "Shaft" and the concert then went all over the musical map with R&B, Blues, Pop, Jazz and Funk having destinations met in the mixed bag of fevered playing by both gents. He romped through "Love's Holiday" from Earth Wind and Fire's repertoire then visited the pretty hot smooth jazz of "After the Storm" with audience scat-participation. In a big 180 he moved through Jimi Hendrix's "Who Knows" to "Keep It Movin'" with Gerald Albright engaging him in hot traded licks on their respective axes. Couples cuddled to "Any Love" and the first half closed with a brisk "Take a Ride."
Albright kept the pulses pounding in the his half especially in the wild "It's a Man's World," which was followed by surprisingly high-octane "Bermuda Nights," followed by the astoundingly fiery "Close to You" which put some hot sauce on the Carpenters song. In the finishing kick the romantic energy surged with "My My My," a truly terrific "True Colors," and with the help of the tireless Norman Brown "Champagne Life" which put the house on its feet where it stayed toward a grander conclusion.

West Side Story March 8, 2014
West Side Story Dances at Cerritos
By Glen Creason
It was eye-opening to see the fresh and energetic "West Side Story" that hit the stage at the Performing Arts Center over the weekend. Especially for those of us who learned and listened to the big-budget film made of the musical and the songs we have sung ever since. You would be hard-pressed to find a more powerhouse trinity than Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Jerome Robbins who wrote the music, lyrics and choreographed in that order. There is great genius at work here and the young cast at Cerritos did not squander the chance to prove the shows exalted pedigree. Still, as played in the here and now the show does naturally bend more toward the women and is less a tragedy and more of a musical. Luckily, the women in this cast were extraordinarily good both singing and dancing. MaryJoanna Grisso was absolutely sensational with a powerful yet sweet soprano that made even familiar tunes like "Tonight," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere" celebrations of the songwriter's art. Michelle Alves was terrific, lighting up the stage in every minute she held court and youthful Jarrod Biron Green was convincing and very sympathetic as the star-crossed Tony whose love for Maria transcends even his terrible mistake made in a moment of passion. Alexander Cruz as Bolo was both stylish and strong in the demanding role of the Puerto Rican gang-leader who must stand up to the racism thrust at him and his immigrant community.
Still, the real stars of this show were the entire cast since the dancing is at the heart of telling this modern day rendering of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Choreographer Joey McNeeley was masterful in recreating Jerome Robbins masterpiece of dance without once showing a molecule of age on the extremely fine ensemble numbers. Director David Saint kept the show very true to the classic original but left room for the exuberant young cast to express their take on the telling of this age old tale. With a live orchestra, interesting sets and costumes the production really left very little to be desired.

Dan Gallagher steps up for Kellenberg
It was only the second day of football tryouts at Kellenberg on Tuesday, but coach Kevin Hanifan had already defined the key to his team's success — and it's a line that you've heard before.
Football, as they say, is a game won in the trenches, and the Firebirds have a whole new brigade of soldiers fighting for them on the frontline this season.
Kellenberg graduated all five of its starting offensive linemen and enters the 2013 season with a group of juniors and seniors fighting for those spots. One of those players is senior Dan Gallagher — a returning starter at defensive end who was told at the conclusion of last season he might have to play on both sides of the ball this year.
"The coaches talked to me last year and said I would have to step up if they need me to go both ways, which I know I will be able to," Gallagher said. "Coach [Hanifan] has told me that I'm a big part of this team, and I'm taking that pretty seriously and pushing everyone around me."
"He's definitely one of our tougher player who can play both ways, even though we try not to do that too often in our league," Hanifan said. "Dan came into camp knowing he had his job at defensive end and did a great offseason training, but he got to camp and we said 'oh by the way, go work with the offensive linemen.'… But he's a guy who can handle it. '"
Gallagher said he played offensive line on the freshman team and on the junior varsity squad as a sophomore, but last season he exclusively played and started at defensive end in his first year on varsity. Right now, he's a second-string offensive lineman but is on the rise.
"I've been a little rusty in the beginning, but I'm getting better," he said. "It's a little more tiring but that's why we do conditioning and that's why we're in camp."
He also thinks the competition on the offensive line will benefit the unit once the season begins.
"We have no returning offensive linemen but that doesn't mean we have no good offensive linemen," Gallagher said. "It's competing for a battle and especially on the O-line there are no free spots. I think that'll make us better even than last year with everyone battling at the same time and fighting for a position."
Kellenberg returns starting quarterback Kyle Driscoll along with two of his top targets in John Antetomaso and Connor Goss. Hanifan, who called Driscoll "a stud," said that while the offensive line needs work, the way the offense operates with quick passes and spread formations will help counter the inexperience up front. The experience and chemistry between Driscoll and his receiving corps will also play an important role.
"The offensive line is where our work needs to be done, but with the way we throw the ball, we can balance that," Hanifan said. "We're not lining up and running downhill and pushing people off the ball. We're going to zone block, do some misdirection and throw the ball. The offense has a lot of options to it."
Hanifan also expects players to elevate their game once the season kicks off, which for Kellenberg is 18 days away on Sept. 7 against rival Chaminade.
"[Gallagher] is a big strong kid and we have a couple other kids in there on the O-line who are doing well, too," Hanifan said. "But really, it all shapes out when you lineup against a kid with a different colored helmet on."

The files' attributes are set to "Read Only", this prevents iTunes to edit music info/tags. If you are an iTunes Audiophile, you make the songs' tags orderly.
I found out that the album title is set to "Pink Friday" but it should be "Pink Friday (Deluxe Version)" base on the US iTunes Store.
Also, the "Groupings" field on the info has been filled out by the uploader. Remove the tag to properly place it on your library.
Another, the "Comments" field has been manually changed too. Remove this.
And lastly, the "Title" and "Artist" fields of some songs does not match the one on the iTunes Store. These are the ones having featured artists.
(I like to add this, but it doesn't matter much:)
"Girls Fall Like Dominoes" is not included in the iTunes Store if you view it. But in here, it is included.

The Scottish singing sensation is the focus of touring stage production 'I Dreamed A Dream' and while actress Elaine C. Smith will portray her journey from struggling recluse to global stardom after appearing on 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2009, the 'Wild Horses' hitmaker will take to the stage for the finale of the show.
Susan – who has not performed on the UK stage since the 'Britain's Got Talent' tour – said: "I am thrilled to be a part of the musical about my life story and very much looking forward to stepping on stage and performing with the cast. It is an honest portrayal of my life and has been a cathartic process to be involved in."
The show's musical producer Michael Harrison is excited about having Susan involved with the show.
He said: "Susan continues to defy the odds and surprise the world with her record-breaking albums. I can't wait to see the audience reaction when she walks on stage."
'I Dreamed A Dream' will open at Newcastle's Theatre Royal on March 23 2012 before going on tour.

Historians hope to bring attention to little-known Orange County battlefield where Union, Confederacy met in a brief but hot fight
The fields and forests of Payne's Farm are nearly the same
View More Images from this story
Visit the Photo Place
Smith, fellow Gettysburg historian Dave Richards and the team's leader, Garry Adelman, are eager to tell that story to a wider audience. Adelman spearheaded the recent effort to interpret the Slaughter Pen Farm and the First Day at Chancellorsville battlefields in Spotsylvania County, which were saved from development by the Civil War Preservation Trust.
The goal of the new project, also sponsored by CWPT, is to provide public access to the Payne's Farm battlefield, which few people have had the opportunity to visit. Until 2003, when CWPT and the Piedmont Environmental Council acquired the tract, the land was private property.
By year's end, the historians will draft an interpretive plan for the farm, which extends for nearly a mile along State Route 611. As funding allows, the trust envisions installing illustrated wayside markers to describe the battle, and creating walking trails and a parking area for visitors.
The national nonprofit group will seek public comment on the plan, supported by a $50,000 grant from the National Park Service's American Battlefield Protection Program, CWPT spokesman Jim Campi said.
For now, Payne's Farm remains off the beaten path, about three miles north of Routes 20 and 611, where Robertson's Tavern stood. But the trust's historians are piecing together every detail of what happened on the 685-acre site, which is remarkably unaltered from its Civil War heyday.
Here, Confederate Maj. Gen. Edward Johnson attacked with a division of 5,300 men, unaware that he faced an entire Union corps, supported by a second one--32,000 Union troops in all.
The site's fields and forests are nearly just as they were on Nov. 27, 1863, when columns of blue and gray accidentally bumped into each other at a road intersection near modern-day Zoar Baptist Church, and the battle ensued, Adelman said.
That crossroads remains. The farm lane along which Southern artillery and infantry positioned themselves is still there. A postwar farmhouse stands where the Paynes' home did; the family stayed in the cellar during the battle.
The landscape itself is informing the research as Adelman, Smith and Richards figure out how best to explain what happened here to future visitors, Campi said.
By halting Meade's advance toward Locust Grove, the Battle of Payne's Farm helped undo his elaborate plan to get the jump on Lee's army, the historians said.
Confederate forces gained a day to prepare for an all-out assault by the Yankees, creating defensive earthworks along Mine Run that Meade concluded were impregnable, said Adelman, the senior historian at History Associates Inc. in Rockville, Md.
By Nov. 30, after more delays, Meade decided to end the campaign. He realized his effort to outflank Lee had failed.tinyurl.com/mineruncwpt tinyurl.com/minerunNPS

Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
windows photo viewer automatically tiles image
I just downloaded 160 pictures out of my Sony camera into Windows Photo Viewer. After they were in my computer all of a sudden a bunch of them were systematically converted to a 16 image tile view of the original picture. After about 20 of them were converted by the program I had enough sense to close the program before they were all done in. Now whenever I open Windows Photo Viewer all images are displayed in the tiling format. Also in Paint they were displayed the same way. How do I prevent this and how do I repair the pictures that were damaged by the program?

Meals with no protein
- danna Jun 23, 2011 12:22 PM
So...this has started to alternately annoy and confuse me: So often in food writing, I see reference made to "a great meatless meal" or " a perfect substitute for vegetarians" or making something "healthier", but the meal has basically no protein, as in this little sidebar in BA this month...
I don't understand how this writer thinks eating a portabello mushroom soaked in olive oil and spread with pesto is healthier than a 95% lean burger. Doesn't she think a healthy meal has some protein in it? (i realize there are a few grams of incomplete protein in the mushroom, but still) And while olive oil is healthier than cow fat, 1/4 lb. cooked lean burger has 26 grams of protein and 6.5 grams of fat. You get about a teaspoon of pesto for 6.5 fat grams. Add the marinade and a realistic amount of pesto, and that burger is going to be at least 3x the fat.
I realize that lots of Americans eat WAY more meat than they need...but I don't think that's a reason to imply that it's healthier to get too little protein. I see a lot of main course recipes that have no damn protein...not only no egg/dairy/soy component, but as far as I can tell, no significant amount of complementary vegetable proteins.
What do y'all think?
I don't know the answer to your question. It blows my mind that people with so little knowledge get paid the big bucks to write food articles.
For example, the fat in a beef steak is almost 50% monounsaturated fats. For some reason that's bad, but olive oil with 70% monounsaturated fats is good?
Or soy is promoted as the perfect protein, but it's been tied to early puberty in girls, low sperm count in men and thyroid disease. Health agencies in several other countries have issued health warnings about soy, but here in the US, it's in dozens of items as fillers.
Personally, I don't think you can eat too much fresh meat. That processed stuff is a different story. When the first results of the Framingham Study were finally published in an obscure medical journal, they flew in the face of the idea that saturated fats were causing heart disease and death. There as never been a study that tied CHD to saturated fats. Even back in WWII, medical research showed that young Japanese soldiers had basically the same cholesterol rates as young American soldiers. Yet the Japanese diet consisted of only about 3% fat.
There's nothing wrong with eating good meat on a regular basis. Heck, I've even started using lard again. At least I know what's in it.
re: FEF
a better link to early puberty is tropical fruit. Whatever they eat in South America, they grow early down there.
If you want to bitch about estrogen, start bitching about hair care products. they POLLUTE! and you drink the water. I don't want to read anything, bar NONE, about soy, unless they're controlling for waterborne estrogen contamination. Birth control pills pollute as well, people!
re: Chowrin
Tropical fruit is linked to early puberty? Are you being sarcastic or do you have a source for that?
re: Fromageball
google puberty ages in other countries. and pregnancy rates. this is a longlasting phenomenon, unrelated to other nutrition.
re: Boston_Otter
You can call it "tenuous" if you want, but there are studies showing it to be true. Here's one. A simple internet search will turn up more:
"Chavarro's team found that men who ate the most soy had 41 million fewer sperm per milliliter of semen compared with men who did not eat soy foods. Normal sperm counts range between 80 million and 120 million per milliliter, according to a press release from the journal, a monthly publication of the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology."

re: FEF
"For example, the fat in a beef steak is almost 50% monounsaturated fats. For some reason that's bad, but olive oil with 70% monounsaturated fats is good?"
I know it's tangential to this thread, but what are you arguing here? Beef fat is higher in saturated fats than olive oil. Monounsaturated fat is generally good for you, so it makes perfect sense that having a higher percentage of it would make olive oil healthier for you. And there are many studies directly linking olive oil consumption to decreased risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease (and possibly even stroke, some cancers, and stomach ulcers), whereas I don't know of any such results for beef fat.
I'm not trying to demonize beef fat, here. Just saying that olive oil has an excellent track record in recent studies, which is why it is commonly considered a very healthy fat.
re: cowboyardee
I'm arguing that the monounsaturated fats in beef are just as beneficial as the monounsaturated fats in olive oil. Yet oilve oil is held up as a "healthy" food and beef is demonazied.
Saturated fats, in general, are not a health risk. Dietary saturated fats do NOT affect your cholesterol or cause an increase in cardiovascular disease. Never has. Never will.
"CONCLUSIONS: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat.."
I could post dozens of links showing very clearly that you can eat all the saturted fat you want and it will have little or no effect on your cholesterol levels. You've been brainwashed.
re: FEF
Saturated fats do have an effect on your calories ingested, for starters (which is not necessarily a problem for everyone, of course). For another, you're breaking down complex fats into constituent parts and talking about them while ignoring the far more compelling evidence - that olive oil (not just it's constituent fats) has been linked repeatedly to lower risk of common diseases whereas beef fat has not shown nearly the same correlation in studies. In a sense that's like saying that jogging and sitting on a barstool must be equally healthy because both engage your core muscles.
re: cowboyardee
We don't know if that's because the beef fat is from polluted feedlot sources, though, with inflammatory profiles, rather than due to saturation. Most of the fat in beef isn't saturated, anyhow.
re: mcf
You're missing my point. I'm not really speaking to the healthfulness of beef fat. There's moderately strong evidence that a diet high in olive oil is GOOD for you - that it is associated with low levels of heart disease and cancer. The same cannot be said about beef fat, or most other fats really. The evidence on other fats (trans fat aside) is generally more mixed.
re: cowboyardee
I didn't miss your point, I disagree with it. I wasn't merely saying saturated fat is harmless, it also has healthful properties. But if what's tested comes from unwholesome sources it gets wrongly maligned.
re: mcf
So are you disagreeing with the findings of existing studies on these fats (so far)? Or are you disagreeing with my characterization of said studies?
If it's the former, that's fine - but does your objection amount to anything beyond conjecture? If it is the latter, I suggest you look into the studies further.
re: cowboyardee
I've been reading an awful lot of metabolic/endocrine/cardiology and other science for over a decade. I'm not in disagreement with good science, I'm in disagreement with the unfounded conclusions often extrapolated and promoted from it. And I'm completely opposed to epidemiology used to formulate clinical reccos rather than just as a direction for new clinical research questions.
re: mcf
Ah. Then our thinking might not be quite so far apart as I thought. When I get time, maybe I'll type a longer post about epidemiology with respect to nutrition. I don't think it's useless. But it has often been applied poorly and used to make recommendations that good science doesn't support - usually by acting as though epidemiological studies are capable of isolating variables when they really don't.
re: cowboyardee
I didn't say epidemiology was useless, just misused. Big Diff. :-)
Save your long post on epidemiology in a Word file; it's going to get deleted on CH by the mods, who want you to post about yummy food, not what it does or doesn't do to your arteries. Seriously. I care about this stuff a lot and I'm an information geek. I get deleted a LOT.
re: FEF
OT, but "get paid big bucks"?! Rest assured very few writers are getting paid big bucks these days—they're lucky to get paid at all.
Otherwise I agree with you. Well, I don't about "I don't think you can eat too much fresh meat." You can eat too much anything. But I'm all for good, lean, clean protein.
I don't understand how this writer thinks eating a portabello mushroom soaked in olive oil and spread with pesto is healthier than a 95% lean burger.
based on the "savings" numbers provided, it appears she's equating "healthier" with fewer calories and less saturated fat...no surprise there - she's an old school RD who obviously still adheres to the same tired, outdated advice the American Dietetic Association has been pushing for the last 60 years.
Vegetarian replacements are the wrong way to go for healthy food. You just can't replace things like gooey cheese, rendered fat and the like. All they make you want to do is have the real deal. Entrees with limited proteins, such as risotto and noodles, are great because they're not substitutes for anything, but are dishes that honor/feature another ingredient.
On the article, I didn't think it was so much about taking the protein out, but reducing the calorie count (and done in a dumb way). I say, eat and enjoy a fattening burger, but skip the fries (and get a diet soda) and opt for the side salad. And, go easy with what you have for the rest of the day.
re: ediblover
Maybe you don't find veggie proteins satisfying, but I'd much rather have a meal centred on beans (including but not limited to soy) or eggs than a starch-heavy dish as my main. It really annoys me that most restaurants make pasta or risotto their only veg option.
re: piccola
I didn't mean it in that they're always inferior, but inferior when used as a substitute for meat dishes. That goes vice-versa; taking a dish that tries to feature a particular vegetable and subbing in meat won't work because the entire dish was planned for a particular component/star.
I like simple bean salads and soups, because they feature the bean instead of trying to do something with it that it wasn't meant to do.
re: ediblover
Fair enough. I'm not a big fan of meat substitutes, but I do love my tofu and tempeh.
I don't see any problem with suggesting a non-meat alternative that does not include saturated fat. As you said, almost all of us get enough protein and although I could certainly lose a few pounds my cholesterol levels are great because most of my oil is olive. If the whole meal was just fruits, vegetables and olive oil that would be fine with me. To each his own.
re: redfish62
Actually, there are numerous studies that show Americans consume 2 to 3 times more protein than we need. There is certainly no need to eat meat at every (or most) meals. Beans and whole grains, with the occasional meat, if you like, provide all the protein anyone needs. No need for weird meat analogs.
re: pikawicca
You want to show me some of those studies? Because I don't believe that they exist.
re: redfish62
First off, I said people get enough protein. Second, I think it is better if people eat less meat from a humane perspective; you don't have to agree with that, it is my opinion. As to studies will one from the CDC do?
re: pikawicca
If you find such studies that are NOT paid for by the Soy industry or animal rights groups (PCRM, PETA, HSUS, etc.) I'd like to see them.
But Dr. Van S. Hubbard, director of the NIH Division of Nutrition Research Coordination says "There is insufficient data to say that a person can eat too much protein." He says there is evidence to suggest that people with certain diseases and conditions should limit their intake. For people with kidney disease, for instance, a reduced-protein diet may help delay the progression towards kidney failure."
re: redfish62
Well, that's a good question. It's just one of those things I've read a number of times.
I, personally, have to work at getting enough protein if I'm eating out because it's hard to get low-fat protein if you don't cook it yourself (and even then you're stuck w/ a lot of egg white and chicken breast). So...I could well be wrong about that.
I can see something like the portabello burger being intended as a substitute in a barbecue when you want something vegetarian and burger like, but not fake meat substitutes. Given a choice, I"d much rather have the mushroom and pesto as a veggie option than a soy burger for purely aesthetic reasons.
But I get your point about dubious substitutions from a health/satisfaction point of view. My husband has really high protein needs, and a veggie/fat/starch meal with little protein is okay once in a while, but over a few days will leave him tired and cranky. After we started living together I actually lost weight as my diet shifted to less starch and more protein.
Personally, I figure that depending too much on any one food product for your calorie needs is asking for trouble, and a balance of different ingredients is the best way to hedge your bets on what is safest and most healthy.
re: tastesgoodwhatisit
"much rather have the mushroom and pesto as a veggie option than a soy burger for purely aesthetic reasons"
Exactly! Lots of times the sweet pea ravioli or something like that is the menu item that looks the best to me, and then I hear from my husband "so...not planning on having any protein tonight?" In addition to having high protein needs (powerlifter/endurance athlete) like your husband, he did a nutrition minor in undergrad, so I get a lot of "that's not a complete protein" or "the bioavailability of that protein is poor" when I try to do a vegetable meal w/ no egg/cheese/dairy.
re: 512window
with all due respect....HUH????? There must be all of 3 grams worth of protein in a serving of pesto! If that! AND, if I'm not mistaken, ... the pine nuts are an incomplete protein, so they would need a legume to make their contribuiton to the 3 grams worth anything.
So lets assume I have some baked beans at this bbq thus completing that protein. Still, I need 65-ish grams per day. 3 is not "plenty." Not picking on you 512...but this is exactly the type of thinking that's got me all frustrated. (btw, I adore pesto and would really LIKE IT if I could eat it from a bowl and call it a meal!)
re: magiesmom
My understanding (with large grains of salt because I've not researched this recently, am going from memory of Food for a Small Planet and Laurel's Kitchen) is that the protein does need to be completed within an hour or two. The implication is that spacing, say, beans and grains out with one at lunch and the other at dinner doesn't provide the same benefits. But they don't have to be consumed right together, so your suggestion of a high-protein or complementary dessert would still be effective even with a longish interval between the dish with incomplete proteins and dessert -- in the way that often happens at an outdoor party or picnic.
re: ellabee
The food science behind "Food for a Small Planet" is terribly outdated. If you eat "complementary" proteins throughout the course of a day, you're fine.
re: pikawicca
Thanks for that info, pikawicca; great news for those cutting down on or cutting out meat. Can you point me to any articles or books that convey the updated food science?
re: ellabee
Here are some online. The first has the most citations.
re: escondido123
Thanks, escondido123.
I'm still a little puzzled. It seems as if the whole idea of complementarity has been abandoned. Yet It's established that some plant foods contain much lower levels of specific essential amino acids than others, and there have been documented instances of diets that proved deficient because of excessive reliance on one particular grain. The example that leaps to mind, because I'm now reading the first edition of Harold McGee's _On Food and Cooking_, is the increase in pellagra among people whose diet is based on corn and not much else, describing corn as deficient in lysine and tryptophan, as well as having much of its niacin unavailable unless the corn is processed with alkaline substances. This passage reinforces the view that there is something to complementary proteins:
"Natives of the Americas had one other means [aside from alkaline treatment] of coping with corn's nutritional deficiencies: beans, which are well stocked with lysine, tryptophan, and niacin..." (p.244)
The book was published in 1984, and maybe McGee wouldn't write it the same way today (I haven't seen the very much re-written 2nd edition that came out in 2004).
There is another passage in the corn section that reinforces the basic message of the current thinking: "...by 1930 it was estimated there were 200,000 [people with pellagra] in the country, most of them southern cotton sharecroppers. ... But pellagra had declined significantly in the United States between 1930 and 1933, during the depths of the Depression, and before proper treatment had been developed. The Depression had lowered the value of the cotton crop, and many sharecroppers planted more land in vegetables and fruits, thereby balancing their diet. ... But [pellagra] remains a serious problem in parts of South Africa, lower Egypt, and southwestern India, all areas where corn is a late introduction and where poverty is the social constraint."
It's good to know that there should be no real worries about protein inadequacy with an all-plant diet as long as there's variety and enough overall calories.
re: ellabee
If your diet consists primarily of one food, you are going to be malnourished. If your diet consists of a wide variety of foods, you aren't.
re: ellabee
ellabee, if I may, here's a link to a nutritionist whom I like a lot--scroll down to his section on BEEF.... and you'll see some newer facts about proteins...they DO come in all ways, some more complete than others but we certainly don't need to eat meat or fish every single day nor at every meal to maintain health and well being:
And many Americans ARE eating too much protein, it's in this article too.
re: pikawicca
thanks, that's what I thought
re: magiesmom
well , i'm sorry if I sound pissed off, because honestly I"m not. I'm just bemused and frustrated.
As to your point about dessert, I'm uncertain of the time frame to complete a protein. I can't find anything I consider authoritative, and opinions vary a lot. ah...more frustration ;-)
re: danna
If you only consider authoritative those sources that agree with you then this could become a pointless discussion. Vegetarians have done a lot of research on this subject so I might want to consider their findings rather than those of groups that want to sell meat based protein. Just a thought.
re: danna
I'm uncertain of the time frame to complete a protein.
within 12-24 hours. it varies widely depending on individual metabolic rates and digestive efficiency, but the window is much larger than originally thought. obviously it's ideal to consume them together, but not necessary. it was once believed that they had to be present in the gut at the same time to form a complete protein, but as it turns out, our bodies *do* store amino acids in our blood and tissues for a period of time, and can draw on those reserves and pair them with complementary AAs from other meals once ingested.
re: goodhealthgourmet
ghg, so the concept of 'complementarity' is intact? That makes a lot more sense to me than the idea that "every plant source of protein is complete protein".
Do you have any suggestions for further reading on the amino acids storage and timing of ingestion?
re: ellabee
incomplete proteins are still incomplete - they didn't all miraculously develop missing amino acids :) but we now know that it's not necessary to eat them *together* to achieve complementarity...within the same day is just fine.
my best advice for further reading is Lexis/Nexis or PubMed for a scholarly article search & review...but it helps if you have access through a university system, otherwise you're probably limited to reading abstracts instead of full text, and that's not very helpful :) unfortunately i no longer have access or i'd pull up some papers and send them to you. you could always hit the library of a local college if you have one nearby...
re: goodhealthgourmet
Thanks, ghg. I re-read more carefully some of the links provided by another poster above, and realize that I was misreading Lappe's "recantation" a bit.
I'm in a college town, with access to the libraries and friends in both biology departments, so will pursue. Glad I participated in this thread!
re: ellabee
ooh, lucky you to have those contacts :) happy reading!
re: 512window
correct. it was you who said "plenty."
That's what I'm getting at. You seemed to imply that a miniscule amount of protein was all that was needed. I'm no expert, but I don't think that's right. I think not only do you have to get x amount of protein per day based on your weight and activity level, but you have to get it reasonably spaced out during the day....as in your body can't assimilate more than a certain amount of protein at once. Do you see what I'm getting at? I'm not trying to be difficult...it's just something I've really noticed a lot lately.
re: danna
I totally understand your frustration at some of the comments. I see it here along with other discussion boards: the "oh, you can't be protein deficient in a country where we have so much food." Well, if you read enough discussion boards, you find a LOT of veg*ns are NOT getting enough protein. Most of them are not actually deficient yet, but they're sick. There's a huge turnover in the veg*n population here in the US. TIME magazine has said 3 out of 4 vegetarians go back to eating meat. I'd bet a lack of protein is one of the main causes. A lack of B12 and iron are two other biggies. B12 is not available from any plant and the non heme iron in veggies is much harder to absorb than the heme iron in animal products. Then there are the omega3s. Flax seed is not a reliable source EPA and DHA. Humans do best on a balanced diet: some meat, some veggies, some fruit, restrict processed carbs and sugar.
re: FEF
@FEF: wait...I think I've read that B12 is in kelp, seaweeds and nutritional yeast...well, here's an article anyway for what it's worth...I'm not vegan by the way...thanks.
re: Val
You probably have read it, but it's not true. Veg*ns live in a pretend world.
You can find all kinds of veg websites saying "eat some dirt. it has B12" or "B12 used to be in the soil, but modern farming killed it" and other really stupid things. B12 is cobalt. Cobalt is in the soil. Plants pick up the cobalt. Animals eat the plants, the bacteria in their gut turns the cobalt to B12, they store it in their bodies and I get it when I eat them. We make B12 in our own gut, low down in our system and it passes right on through without being absorbed. Some animals have interesting ways to get B12:
There are two VEGAN registered dietitians online. Both of them are definite about needing to supplement the vegan diet, and possibly the vegetarian diet, for B12.
Jack Norris of VeganHealth.org says "...Contrary to rumors, there are no reliable, unfortified plant sources of vitamin B12, including tempeh, seaweeds, and organic produce. The overwhelming consensus in the mainstream nutrition community, as well as among vegan health professionals, is that plant foods do not provide vitamin B12, and fortified foods or supplements are necessary for the optimal health of vegans, and even vegetarians in many cases...."
Ginny Messina, theveganRD.com says: "Vitamin B12. You can't get enough by eating unwashed organic produce or mushrooms grown in B12-rich soil. The recommended dose is 25 to 100 micrograms per day or 1,000 micrograms 2-3 times per week. If you have not been taking B12 for a while, start out with 2,000 micrograms daily for several weeks. Or get a blood test to see where you are and whether you might need a more therapeutic dose."
The Vegan Society says supplement for B12. The Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG) says to supplement for B12.
The only natural source of B12 is animal products, or you can take shots, pills, eat processed foods that have had manufactured B12 added.
re: FEF
Hello! I'm sorry for jumping into your little convo here, but I found it very interesting. I've been a vegetarian since I was 13 (I'm 39 now). I'm not a nutritionist, but have done quite a bit of reading over the course of all those years to try to educate myself about protein needs. Danna is correct that everyone needs a certain amount of protein per day based on weight and activity level. Where that protein comes from just seems to be an individual opinion. We can all cite studies that say plant protein is incomplete, and we can all find studies that say the opposite.
As for me, I have a complete physical every year that includes blood work to tell me how I'm doing on all vital nutrients, and I've never been found to be deficient in any of them. I have no health issues at all. Spring, summer, and fall I hike, canoe, and backpack. So I'm not exactly sedentary. I do eat limited amounts of dairy, as in cheese on the occasional pizza or an ice cream cone here and there, but I do not drink milk or eat eggs or animals of any kind including fish.
So I'm sorry I can't answer your question but I do know that for me, the proof is in whether or not I am able to get up and do the things I love every day, which do require strong bones and muscles. So far, so good! Now my parents lived on diets rich in animal fat and protein and they both died in their 60's. :-(
re: 512window
There's scant protein in either of those unless you eat a LOT, but they sure taste good. :-)
re: ipsedixit
Exactly. I find it odd that people don't understand that you don't have to have every single nutrient in every single meal. As long as they are in your diet, you are fine.
re: Isolda
Protein isn't just a nutrient, it's one of only two essential macro nutrients in human nutrition. The other is fat.
re: pikawicca
But black beans and quinoa do constitute a "complementary vegetable protein," no?
PS Not that the occasional meal without any form of protein's gonna hurt anyone. I'd assume that a consistent pattern of not getting enough protein could surely be a problem, but that a meal without it—even a meal a day without it—would be less of a problem than a meal a day with way too much protein.
re: pikawicca
Healthy for you, maybe. If I ate quinoa I'd be in the bathroom for the next twelve hours wishing for a quick and merciful death.
re: MandalayVA
I'd have to take drugs to control the blood sugar spike. I also don't understand why people say it's a good source of protein.
re: mcf
This post, devoted to debunking hyped nutrition claims for quinoa, explains why:
Short answer for people who don't follow links: Quinoa contains all nine of the amino acids that have to come from our diet to build proteins (so is a more "complete protein" than other grains or legumes).
It's fundamentally a carb food, like all grains, so for a given amount of protein it's not as good a choice as eggs or other animal protein for diabetics or people who need to restrict calories.
I read the linked article. Perhaps the grilled mushroom sub for a burger was for non-vegetarian consumption. Perhaps the key phrase is "burger habit." I might have written, " decrease the frequency of your burger consumption." I mean why have that as a habit if you over 25 years old?
Basically I agree with you. And an oil soaked Portobella mushroom just doesn't sound appetizing to me.

UN sends more aid to Syria via Turkey
Friday, May 16, 2014
GENEVA - The World Food Programme has begun moving more food supplies via Turkey into northern Syria through the Nusaybin border crossing point.
According to the programme's spokesperson, Elisabeth Byrs, this aid will assist displaced people who cut off food supplies in the Hasaki governorate.
A convoy of 34 trucks has carried 796 tons of food, enough to feed 58,000 people for one month.
Byrs added that the programme needs to raise about US$48 million per week to help the people affected by the conflict in Syria.

Quick & Easy
By Beverly Barbour
It's time to get in a pickle
"In a pickle," is one of those sayings that we have heard all of our lives and no one knows where it originated. Maybe it goes back to 3020 BC when food historians say pickling became a common way to preserve vegetables.
Today we use fruits and vegetables preserved with vinegar as a condiment, something to make meat, poultry and fish taste very good indeed. I, for one, have loved pickles all of my life. And, I love the pickling process. The smell of vinegar and spices perfuming the house reminds me of my mother and my grandmother and my aunt Mildred, all of them aficionados of the pickle.
The best part of pickling is that it is almost impossible to have a failure. There is so much acid in cider vinegar that no bacteria can survive, however, other vinegar's have less and if you want to keep your pickles on a shelf through the winter you may want to process the jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes, jut to be doubly certain all micro-organisms have gone to the great hereafter.
To process in a Hot Water Bath: place a rack in bottom of deep pan, kettle of roaster (so that water can circulate under the jars). Place jars on rack so that they do not touch each other so that water can circulate freely between jars. Cover with boiling water 1-inch over jar tops. When water comes to boil again, cover and keep water at slow boil, for 10 minutes.
Pickling is a simple process. You can be fearless and charge ahead even if you've never made a pickle before in your life.
Cut the carrots into strips the height of the jar, or cut them in rings, or use the tiny baby carrots you can buy already cleaned and bagged.
12 medium carrots, cut into 1/20-inch wide strips
Blanch the carrots for 1 minute in a pan of boiling water. Drain and let cool, then pack into jars. Add mint. Toast cumin seeds in small skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 40 seconds. Let cool, then add to jars. Bring remaining ingredients to a boil and simmer until salt and sugar dissolve. Ladle the boiling liquid into the jars. If, necessary, add more vinegar to cover the carrots. Let cool, cover with lids and refrigerate about 3 weeks to let full flavor develop. Makes about 2 pints. Note: If you want to keep the pickles longer, sterilize jars and lids, be certain liquid is boiling when you fill the jars to within 1/2-inch of the top. Seal and immediately process for 10 minutes.
Goes well with fish, steak or lamb.
3/4 cup white vinegar
Bring to a boil vinegar, water, sugar, celery salt, mustard seed, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; turn down heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes. Cool. Before serving chop the tomatoes into small pieces. Lay onion flat-side down and cut 1/8 inch strips lengthwise, cut into 1/8-inch pieces cross-wise. Cut cucumber into thin slices, then stack the slices and cut in half. Add tomato and onion to the chilled marinade; stir to incorporate. Cover and store until serving time. Just before serving add the cucumber. This will keep several weeks if it is kept covered and refrigerated. This, too, can be preserved by following the process described in the Carrot Pickle recipe. Makes 3 cups.
You can use fresh or canned tomatoes. Delicious as a topping for your favorite meatloaf, burger or anywhere you like catsup.
28 ounces peeled whole tomatoes
Puree tomatoes in a food processor or blender and strain to remove seeds. Puree the pulp with onion until smooth. In saucepan over medium heat, add remaining ingredients, stirring to mix well. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until ketchup thickens and is reduced to about 1 1/3 cups. Cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
