We're Getting Nowhere: "America's Next Top Model" Finale
It with sadness in our hearts (and apple juice in our veins) that we humbly submit to you our very last vlogs for Cycle 9 of America's Next Top Model.
It's been a wild ride. We watched the girls pose, cry, and not smoke all the way to the bitter end. This time around, we glam up and discuss our theories about why models should be seen and not heard, why "stomp to the death" should be a literal term, and what Dara has in common with Mr. Peanut. And for your viewing pleasure, we've included not one but two thrill-packed reenactments. Because we care.
Repeat offender Beloved guestbian Bridget McManus joins us again for the finale, as does her monocle.

We also catch up with our "lost" contestants, Loquacious, Lorelai and Natalia, one last time. They tell us what they've learned from being on Top Model, why they're not bitter about losing, and share with us their
sketchy ambitious plans for the future.

Download from Veoh
Thanks for sticking with us all the way through to the finale, and the three of us look forward to seeing you again in January when We're Getting Nowhere returns and we cover The L Word. (Insert evil laugh here.)
For those of you who can't get enough Bridget McManus (yes, I know, that would be all of you), she'll also be back in January with her very own vlog, Brunch With Bridget. If you don't think you can wait until January for Brunch With Bridget, then just have a snack to tide you over.
The "Lost" Episode: We actually filmed a 30 minute vlog recapping episode 9.12 (the one right before the finale), but can't get it to play all the way through when we watch it online, although it seems to play fine if you download it through Veoh. So if you want to watch it, you'll have to download it here (click on the orange "Watch on VeohTV" button on the bottom right – one-time free software installation required). Think of it as the bootleg edition of WGN!

Sticking with the creepy woods theme, there is another utopia of fright in Spotsylvania County. Wicked Woods is its name and scaring you senseless is its game.
Wicked Woods is open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays in October from 7 to 10 p.m. The grounds will also be open on Sunday, Oct. 28.
The wooded property boasts three unique attractions, including two haunted houses (Murder Manor and Insanitarium Asylum) and the Haunted Forest.
According to the event's organizers, the Haunted Forest is just like walking through your worst nightmare.
"It's a very thorough production," said Erik Sayenga, owner of Wicked Woods. "We work on it all year long and it's like we walk you through a horror movie set. We take you out of the real world and into a haunt that you can't buy at the Halloween store."
Wicked Woods also prides itself on its intricate costumes and genuine scares.
"We make our own masks, our own clothes and everything down to our own fake weapons," said Sayenga. "We try to give everything our own unique twist so we can really scare our visitors."
Just when you thought roller coasters were scary enough, Kings Dominion added another layer to the fright.
The Doswell theme park kicked off its Halloween Haunt on Sept. 28 and will be scaring parkgoers for a month strong. Halloween Haunt is included with park admission and is about more than just an occasional black light or fog machine.
The festivities include 10 terrifying mazes, six "scare zones" designed purely to frighten anyone who dares to walk through and six Halloween-themed shows.
"Halloween Haunt is all about transforming the park into a spooky Halloween extravaganza," said Gene Petriello, communications manager for Kings Dominion. "We don't really give a recommended age range, but a 4-year-old would probably be scared out of their mind."
For the younger crowd, Kings Dominion does offer Howl-O-Fest on Saturdays and Sundays in October from noon to 5 p.m. The festivities include pumpkin painting, treasure hunts and a foam pit.
So, if you're looking for a family-friendly environment and a scream that doesn't end at the coaster, it looks like Kings Dominion is the place to be.

Voices of North Korea in Korean – 북한의 목소리
The United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in North Korea brought to light the deplorable situation inside North Korea. The Commission's excellent report gives us all the opportunity to hear and read the harrowing testimony of North Korean witnesses to the deeply disturbing crimes committed by the regime against its own people. "The Voices of North Korea" highlights personal stories that are at once all too familiar to many North Korean escapees, yet unimaginable to those of us living elsewhere. Now that the world has heard their voices, it is more important than ever to act on behalf of the suffering. We must not ignore these appalling human rights violations. Through increasing awareness of these stories of perseverance, we must seek to end this ruthless oppression.- Ambassador Robert R. King, Special Envoy for North Korean Human Rights Issues
Growing up in North Korea, Lee witnessed her first execution at age seven. She was one of the lucky few who managed to escape the brutal starvation during the 1996 famine. Hyeon-seo eventually escaped to China in 1997. In China, she routinely sent money to her family in North Korea until it was intercepted by North Korean officials. At that point she helped her family escape to China and eventually to Southeast Asia.
Current Status:
Lee currently resides in South Korea where she is a student and advocate for fellow refugees.
Background: During the famine, Seong-ho helped support his family by stealing coal to sell in the market. In 1996, he fell off a train and crushed his left hand and foot, leaving him permanently disabled. His disability made his escape across the Tumen River in 2008 all the more difficult. Seong-ho's younger brother, Cheol-ho, helped him survive the treacherous river crossing into China, but they were forced to separate upon arrival to avoid arousing suspicion. They agreed they would swallow the poison they were carrying if they were caught. With the help of brokers and religious groups, Seong-ho trekked across China on his crutches and eventually reunited with his brother as well as his mother and sister in South Korea. Upon arriving in South Korea, the brothers were informed that their father had also attempted to escape, but he was caught by guards and died in their custody.
Current Status: The brothers are now students in South Korea and work to help other defectors through their organization Now, Action, Unity, Human Rights.
Background: Born in Pyongyang, Kang Chol-hwan grew up in relative luxury owing to his grandfather's position and fortune. Though the family had never renounced their North Korean citizenship and Kang's grandmother had been a staunch Party member in both Japan and the DPRK, Kang's grandparents remained under a cloud of suspicion for having lived in Japan. In 1977, his grandfather was accused of treason and was sent to the notorious Seungho-ri political prison camp. Although he was only nine at the time, Kang, along with his extended family, were sent to Yodok labor camp (Camp 15), where they were forced to live and work in brutal conditions. His family was released ten years later. He continued to live in North Korea, but began listening to foreign radio broadcasts on a (illegal) receiver. A few years later, he escaped to South Korea. His sister, Mi-ho, who was seven when his family was imprisoned in Yodok, remains in North Korea and reportedly was sent back to Yodok with her 11 year old son in 2011.
Current Status: Kang's exposure to South Korean radio broadcasts while living in the DPRK influenced his organization's work in information dissemination. Kang is the founder and executive director of North Korea Strategy Center which is a defector-based organization which focuses on research, defector empowerment, and information dissemination into North Korea. He documented his life in Yodok in the book The Aquariums of Pyongyang (2001). Kang is also a staff writer for The Chosun Ilbo and president of the non-profit Democracy Network Against North Korean Gulag.
Background: Shin is the only person known to have successfully escaped from a "total-control zone" grade internment camp in North Korea. He was born from an arranged marriage in Kaechon (Camp 14) internment camp. The harsh realities of life in the camp prevented Shin from developing a bond or affection with his parents. Shin saw his mother as a competitor for their insufficient food rations. He wrote that he felt no remorse when he witnessed the public execution of his mother and brother at the age of 13, after he reported their escape plan to prison guards. Shin was bound by his hands and feet and hung over a fire for four days after reporting the escape plan. He still bears the scars from a hook used to pierce his skin to prevent him from writhing. Several years later, he developed an escape plan with a fellow inmate, and after a harrowing journey he made it to China and was eventually resettled in South Korea.
Current Status: Shin is the founder of InsideNK, a nongovernmental organization that seeks to raise awareness about North Korean human rights. He has given talks around the world about his experience in Camp 14 and his story has been documented in the book Escape from Camp 14. He is a staunch advocate of human rights and the eradication of prison camps in North Korea. Shin was the first witness in the UN's first Commission of Inquiry on North Korea. In June 2013, Shin received the Moral Courage Award given by the Geneva-based non-governmental organization UN Watch.
Background: Kim Young-soon and her entire family were sent to a prison camp for Kim's guilt by association with Song Hye-rim, the first wife of Kim Jong-il. Prior to her imprisonment, Kim Young-soon and Song Hye-rim were friends and dancers who performed before the "Great Leader" Kim Il-sung on his birthday. Kim lost her family and her privileged status in the ordeal. She survived 10 brutal years in Yodok political prison camp, but her parents died during their imprisonment. Wishing to escape the regime, she defected to South Korea in 2003. Kim, who resides in South Korea, holds the office of "female vice president of the Committee for the Democratization of North Korea." She also contributed to the choreography of the popular musical "Yodok Story," which premiered in the U.S. in 2006.

Sympathy Cards: What can I possibly say?
Writing a sympathy card is a difficult and daunting task. My first thought when I sit down to write one is always something along the lines of "I feel like I don't have the right words," and my second thought is something along the lines of "everything I am writing sounds so cliché." Various friends have emailed me questions about what to write in a sympathy card, and my short answer is: there is no single correct thing to write. I have been through a devastating loss and I still have no idea what to write.
The good news for those of you trying to support friends in the grieving process: I don't really remember what the mountains of sympathy cards said. Thus, the important lesson is to just send one and do your best to convey your thoughts/feelings in it. In an attempt to make the writing process easier and more meaningful for the receiver, I offer the following tips for writing sympathy cards:
1.) Send a card (don't just think about sending a card). Not knowing what to say, fear of saying the wrong thing, or fear that you didn't send the card soon enough can be paralyzing. The most important thing is that you actually send a card; not what you say in it and not when it arrives. You may be thinking "But what can a card do to actually make someone feel better?" It lets someone know that you are thinking about them and that if they want to they can reach out to you. Sending a card opens a conversation. It will make it easier for you to call and say "I hope you got my card, I have been thinking about you…."
2.) What should I say? Sympathy cards should do three things:
1. Let the person know that you know what happened and are thinking about them. This often happens through phrases, such as, "I am sorry for your loss…." Or "You are in my thoughts…."
2. Share something you will remember about the person who died. For example, you could share a story or qualities you admired in them. If you didn't know the person personally or well, you could share stories you remember that your friend (or whoever you are writing the card to) shared about them. For example, "I regret not ever meeting your mother, but I will never forget them time you told me about how she used to…." Hearing stories can be so special, especially stories the person has never heard.
3. Let them know that you are there for them. Let someone know the specific ways you can be there for them. This will, of course, depend on the relationship. For example, if you are writing to a close friend, you could suggest dinner (if you can see them in person) or a phone call the next week. Make sure to follow through on suggestions. You can also suggest helping with everyday tasks, such as, picking up groceries, picking kids up from school, etc. If you are writing to someone you are not as close to, you can let them know that you are there for them if they need anything and specific ways they can get a hold of you.
The following are examples of parts of sympathy cards that I believe were well written:
"In this time of hardship, I just wanted to let you know that I am always here for you with all my heart. Your father will be alive in our hearts – always."
"He was a really great guy. I had so much fun skiing with you and him when I visited, and he was always generous and friendly, letting me stay in your home and at your cabin. I really appreciated those times."
"Please know that we will be thinking of you in the weeks and months to come; wishing you strength and sweet memories."
"While it is hard to see at first – time is a very effective healer. While you never get over your loss, you begin to view it in a different way. Memories of your loved one that once brought sadness begin to bring laughs and happiness further down the road."
"Please, if you want to call, do. I am here for you whenever you want to talk or not talk. We can sit on the phone in silence if you want. It doesn't matter. The road after this is a painful one, but it does get better."
3.) What shouldn't I say?
1. The following phrases I would avoid. (Remember that this is just my opinion, based on my own experiences and what I have learned from others).
• Your __________ would be so proud of you. (For what? I'm not going through this by choice…This can be appropriate to say later on, i.e. at a graduation)
• You are so strong, I don't know what I would do if my __________ died. (Well, no one does. Moreover, how exactly do they know how strong I am?)
• Be strong for your _______. (After my father died, people kept telling me to be strong for my mother. I kept thinking: why would you say that? Yes, of course I will be there for my mother, but I also need to be there for myself. I felt like people were telling me to put my emotions aside.)
• At least _____ died in ______ way. ( Death is hard to deal with no matter now it happens. There is no consolation in saying things like: at least he died doing what he loved, at least she died with family there, at least it was quick….I would avoid this whole train of thought.)
• Don't talk about yourself too much. (Yes, stories involving you and your relationship with the person has died can be great and if you are grieving over this person as well, that is fine to say). For example, if you have lost someone (or been through some difficult experience) this isn't the place to write about it at length. Sharing stories and supporting someone based on your own experience is very important, but it is not appropriate to go into at length during the initial sympathy card.
• Don't say things you don't mean. If you say you want to take them to dinner, go for a walk, help with the kids, etc. , do it (or at least offer to do it on the phone/in person). When someone has recently lost someone, being flaky or unreliable can be very hurtful.
8 responses to "Sympathy Cards: What can I possibly say?"
Amanda says :
What can I possibly say? Your words and persepctive have given me great guidance for writing those heart felt messages on cards during the time of grief/saddness. I agree with what you have said and will pass this blog onto many I know in need of such help. Many thanks for sharing. Well done!
Jessica says :
This is so well said. Although I don't remember what most of the cards said when my dad died, I do remember that I was incredibly put off by sympathy emails. If you are going to send a note of condolence, send a real note. Only send an email if you cannot get a mailing address. In this ever changing world of technology, getting a note that someone actually took the time to write actually means something.
I do remember that my office sent a card with small notes from everyone in the office and then people followed up with their own notes. I was touched by how thoughtful that was.
Ashley says :
This is very touching. I really enjoyed receiving cards that had quotes on them that I could use to synthesize my thoughts or remember my mom. I also really enjoyed when people that sent my mom Christmas cards, sent them to me. I thought it was very touching that they kept me in my mind.
I think you just have to be genuine, even if it means saying you don't know what to say. It really did help to see the flood of letters after my mom died. It reminded me I wasn't alone and that her life had touched so many people.
Margaret says :
Excellent post.
I think it comes down to this: when you lose a loved one, you feel awful and very lonely. A card helps you feel less alone. That's it.
In sending a card, you aren't trying to solve any problem. You aren't accidentally reminding the person of the loss. (They remember.)
You are just saying "Here. This piece of paper is a physical reminder of the care I have for you. I am thinking about you now. The world looks really shitty. Here is a piece of it that is hopeful."
Jessica says :
Today I had to write a sympathy card for an associate that I've met a few times and worked with on the phone. I did not know his father was sick and was surprised when I found out that he had passed away. I of course knew nothing about his father and was a little worried about writing the note. My aunt, who is quite wise, said make it simple. I googled my associate and found his father's obituary and learned he was a very religious man. One word stuck out in my head-eternal, so I kept it simple and said "I'm sorry for your loss. My your father's memory be eternal" I think that's a good solution for my situation when you know almost nothing about either person but to not send a card would be inappropriate.
friendship quotes says :
Thanks for the marvelous posting! I truly enjoyed reading it, you happen to be a great author.

Restaurants like Pinchers say safe seafood is always a top priority. The disaster in the Gulf has every catch under the microscope. But their latest battle isn't with oil.
Managers say the biggest issue is misinformation, and people being scared that there's more of a problem than there is with the food.
A lot of people are worried about the quality of seafood they're getting. But restaurants say before it even gets off the boat, it's gone through several inspections.
John Vorndren buys seafood for every pinchers location. He says all shrimp, fish, and oysters are inspected by the fishman first. Then they go through supply companies. Then the restaurant checks one last time before you even order.
But even those safety measures aren't changing everyone's minds. People continue to shy away from fresh seafood even after managers say there's no way a tainted product could make it to Southwest Florida.

Boating safety emphasized as Memorial Day approaches
Updated On: May 20 2014 06:26:58 PM EDT
Boating season begins with Memorial Day weekend, and with that, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers are reminding boaters to follow safety procedures.
There are more than 870,000 registered recreational vessels in Florida, so this weekend is sure to be a busy one on local waterways.
"We don't want to see folks at an emergency room, funeral home or a jail, so it's important you have all your safety gear this weekend," said FWC Lt. Paul Arkin.
There must be a life jacket for every person on a boat, and children 6 and under must wear the vest.
Other items are needed if a rescue is necessary. They are a throwable flotation device and rope, horn or whistle and fire extinguisher.
Boaters should also make sure to have their "kill switch" on.
"This way, for some reason if you get thrown from the boat, the kill switch will cut the engine off," Arkin said. "This way the vessel is not on the loose by itself."
And remember to be safe when pulling a passenger back into the boat.
"Bring them in on the stern of the boat if the motor is running because you have the prop back there," Arkin said. "So anywhere from the bow to the midpoint of the boat."
Always follow the speed limit and make sure not to drive fast in a no-wake zone.
And remember, drinking and boating rules are different from drinking and driving a car.
"Unlike a vehicle, you can have alcoholic beverages in the boat with you and you can consume them, you just can't be impaired," Arkin said.
FWC plans to ramp up its patrols Friday through Monday.
If you were born Jan. 1, 1988, and after, you must take the boater safety course to drive a vessel and have the boat safety identification card as well as another form of ID on board.

Social Amnesia and the American Culture of Carnage
On 20 April 1999, armed to the teeth with bombs and automatic weapons, two teenaged students named Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold stormed into their suburban high school in Littleton, Colorado, and carried out a horrific display of murder and mayhem before committing suicide. When the smoke cleared, 12 students and 1 teacher lay dead, with many more wounded, and Americans were left to sort out another seemingly senseless act of what has come to be called 'teen violence.' Law enforcement and the media soon swarmed the site as investigators looked for clues and reporters sought answers. National news outlets entirely pre-empted normal programming for several hours afterwards, in a bizarre spectacle of suffering, anguish, and confusion. Over the next few days, as the events in Littleton had receded somewhat into the usual corporate media stew of consumerism and the latest war, speculation about the incident ran rampant.

11 tech product flops and service fails in 2013
Summary: Some of 2013's most anticipated products and services may have drummed up support in the months prior to launch. But on opening day, it was nothing but stress and hassle.

Samsung sparked sexism storm at Galaxy S4 show
"Tone-deaf and shockingly sexist," former CNET executive editor Molly Wood described Samsung's launch of its flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone in March. It was by all accounts an hour-long parade of stereotypes and awkward references that felt like the Korean giant was surreptitiously slapping us all gently on the backside while telling us not to "worry our pretty little heads" about the whole thing.
Somewhere in there, a phone was announced. It was hard to spot, truthfully. Critics and supporters alike panned the event, and Samsung was forced to issue an apology. Twice, in fact. Because only days later, the phone maker's South African subsidiary paraded scantly-clad women on stage under the notion that's what half the world's population (and Samsung's demographic audience) are interested in seeing.

MySpace relaunch aimed to start afresh... by deleting everything
Once the darling child of the modern Internet, Myspace began tumbling down from the popularity pedestal under the News Corp. days. Things looked up in late 2012 when the site relaunched for what seemed to be the bajillionth time in an effort to catch up with the better-established social networks that overtook the social pioneer during its heyday.
Once the "beta" phase began to wane, the company saw most of its troubles as the site relaunched once again in June with a splashy new design that put musicians and artists at the forefront of the new service. Except, the decisions to shut down the games platform, and to delete almost every shred of existing content from 'classic' Myspace without consultation led to thousands of furious users. It even led to threats of legal action to get, in some cases, years worth of posts back.

Facebook Home had promise, but nobody wanted to move in
Countless rumors over the course of more than two years pointed to Facebook eventually building its own phone. Despite the social networking giant's insistence that it won't, the lid was lifted on what it had been working on: Facebook on a phone, a dedicated phone. So it was a Facebook phone (sort of).
Launching with the HTC First, Facebook Home was a part-loader, part-skin that was the company's big push into the mobile world. But it flopped, badly. Home barely took off, and HTC's flagship social phone barely resonated with buyers. Following AT&T's decision to drop the price from $99 to 99 cents, it was written off as an unmitigated disaster. One of the core reasons to the lack of interest was that users could already get Facebook on their phone, and didn't have to fork out close-to one hundred big-ones for it.

Review: 2015 Cadillac Escalade
Faced with having to rub elbows with strange human beings on a non-luxurious aircraft, our own intrepid Michael Harley chooses instead to drive from LA to Monterey in the swanky new Cadillac Escalade. Can a 600-mile solo drive in the lap of American lavishness counter the efficiencies of modern air travel?

Proposed Limit to Testing in House Bill is Four Hours Per State Assessment
My previous post on the House bill which curbs standardized testing incorrectly stated that the bill would limit testing on state achievement and graduation tests to four hours per student per year.

The confusion stems from news reports which characterized the proposed testing limit as "four hours per student per year," […]

The Court will review a ruling by a three judge panel of a federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia which upheld IRS regulations that allow Obamacare tax subsidies in all 50 states. Language in the ACA states that subsidies are available to individuals that enroll in an insurance plan […]

Clonezilla: Clone for Windows and Linux Machines
The latest version of the Norton Ghost clone for Linux brings improved support for Windows clients.
Clonezilla enables the cloning of partitions and complete hard drives with the advantage of saving and restoring only the used blocks on the hard disk, storing for example 100GByte in a lot less GByte space. Clonezilla is available as a Server Edition and as a Debian based Live-CD. Next to improvements for Windows users with NTFS data systems, the Spanish and Italian languages have been added, along with faster hardware recognition.
Particularly relevant for Linux users are the bugfixes in the handling of LVM volumes and the waiver of Swap partition reproduction. With the script: clone-multiple-usb-example.sh, multiple USB pen drives can be loaded from a single image. Clonezilla can be downloaded here (ca. 100MByte).

This copper ball gown by Dolce & Gabbana swung the Oscar fashion pendulum back toward the look of more formal eveningwear. There was nothing about this dress that didn't say "black tie." The gown matched redheaded Saradon's coloring, and she glowed. She looked like a winner -- and she was, for Best Actress, for her work in Dead Man Walking.

US Coast Guard offloads $37 million of cocaine
The U.S. Coast Guard has offloaded $37 million worth of cocaine seized in a multi-national operation in the Caribbean.
The Coast Guard said Tuesday that the 2,500 pounds of cocaine was seized on Jan. 22 south of the Dominican Republic when a 25-foot go-fast boat was spotted with suspicious packages.
The U.S. Coast Guard launched its helicopter from the British Royal Fleet Auxiliary Wave Knight to intercept the suspected drug smugglers seen throwing packages overboard during the pursuit. Four suspected smugglers were detained and will be transferred to law enforcement authorities in the U.S.
Authorities did not immediately release their identities or nationalities.
Lt. Commander Gabe Somma called it a unique operation since "this was the first time an armed Coast Guard helicopter has launched from a UK military ship."

Chris Morris had a spectacular domestic season in 2011/12 in which he went from being an unsung franchise cricketer to a genuine contender for international selection. His performances in the T20 Challenge were electric particularly in the two league matches against the eventual champions, The Unlimited Titans.
His ability to take wickets both up front and at the death makes him an invaluable T20 weapon. He also wields the bat effectively either down the order or as a pinch hitter and was a prime contributor to the success of the bizhub Highveld Lions in winning the RAM SLAM T20 Challenge. His success wasn't limited to T20 cricket as he took a hat trick in the Sunfoil Series against the Chevrolet Warriors in 2010/11 and followed it with a career best 8/44 in 2012/13.
It came as no surprise when he was called up for the unofficial T20 International Triangular against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh and his official debut for the Proteas followed against New Zealand at the end of 2012. He earned his first ODI cap against Pakistan at the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy tournament in England.
Injuries have frustrated his international career over the past year.

Foie Gras
- y
- yummy Jan 1, 2005 08:53 AM
Just got some big cans of foie gras. What should I do with it?
Just serve it plain, and put it in the fridge for about 10 or 15 minutes before serving (or if it's in the fridge, take it out before serving so it's at cool room temp). Depending on the brand it may or not be seasoned so you may need to add cracked pepper and some fine sea salt. Check the label or taste it first.
Lucky you!
Or you can cut it about 1/4-1/2 inch thick, and lightly sear it in a small amount of butter.
Serve this with very thin dry toast (crostini from a baguette, usually, with no oil or butter on it). Or, you can serve it as a first course with a red wine reduction sauce.
Lucky you, indeed.
I would recommend you serve it with something sweet.
At Christmas we served it with thin walnut toasts and a recipe of my own invention "Caramelized, Vanilla Scented, Bartlett Pear Compote"
3 Bartlett Pears, peeled, cored and diced into tiny cubes
1/3 cup of sugar
1/3 vanilla pod
1 1/2 cups of water
Halve the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds into a small non-stick saucepan. Add the remaining pod with the rest of the ingredients and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and leave, approximately 30 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the mixture starts to caramelize. From herein, continue to stir every 30 seconds or so, for the next 10 minutes, until all of the fruit is sticky with a golden brown caramel colour.
Traditionally in France it might be accompanied by a glass of a sweet wine like Sauternes too.
re: Sixy Beast
Amanda Hesser in NY TIMES recommended serving it spread on toast made from good white bread, with currant preserve. I have not tried this, yet, however but it makes sense to me.
re: Just Larry
Sounds like my family
one classical serving suggestion: have the foie just slightly chilled and pair it with warm brioche with a tiny dab of quince jam.
Long-time friends served me slices of foie gras on brioche toast with a rich warm something involving slivered mushrooms and caramelized onions -- a yummy combination -- and Sauternes on New Year's Day. The flavors worked very well together. (Their 16 year old son, having tasted it, said, "Is this on brioche? I think I would have used plain toast." I nearly fell off my chair.)
re: GretchenS
funny and informative
re: Keri T.
I had it with brioche french toast at Boulevardier. The best I have had so far.. It's like the ultimate breakfast but for dinner
My favorite restaurant dish is pasta with a meaty ragou and shaved frozen fois GRAS on top. I'm thinking of making a wild mushroom pasta and shaving fois gras on top but am not sure. Has any tried tried this? I have had it on gingerbread and have enjoyed it as well. How about fully melted in mashed potatoes?

rainbowehko Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.1
Independent- An independent clause can stand alone. This is also caused a simple sentence. Ex. I like cats. You have a subject (I), a verb (like) and a direct object (cats) therefore, it can stand by itself. Adverbial-Adverb clauses express when, where, why, and how something occurs. A dependent clause is an adverb clause if you can replace it with an adverb, as in "I'll do the laundry later." Adjectival- An adjective clause describes a noun just like an adjective. See the following example: "I listened to the song that you told me about." Which song? The new song, the good song, the song that you told me about. (also called defining and non-defining, essential and nonessential, or integrated and supplementary) Noun- A noun clause can replace any noun in a sentence, functioning as a subject, object, or complement. ("The boy wondered if his parents bought him what he wanted for Christmas)
