1/1 Photo of Midwestern German Fries With Sausage Gravy
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins
20 mins
This is a popular breakfast item served in a lot of restaurants in Ohio. It's a mixture of homefries, onion, green peppers and eggs topped off with sausage gravy. I like using either Italian sausage or sage sausage for the gravy. A great way to use leftover baked potatoes. If you don't have any leftover baked potates, you can put the potatoes in the microwave and use the baked potato setting. Let the potatoes cool to the touch then peel (or leave the skin on if you pefer) and slice.

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
April 18, 2014 - 12:45pm
Since she was young, Nyx has always known she was destined to marry the Dark Lord who has enslaved her kingdom. Her father has been preparing her for this match for many years, and while her destiny is marriage, the prophecy states that she will be the one to kill him, if he doesn't kill her first. Nyx rails against the unfairness of the prophecy, as it was her father who bonded her and not her angelic twin sister to the Dark Lord, and yet her fierce determination will be what is needed to defeat him in the end. Or is the Dark Lord not what he seems?

Pakistan Taliban admit killing reporter MK Atif
The Taliban in Pakistan have said they killed a journalist while he was praying in a mosque near the city of Peshawar on Tuesday.
Mukarram Khan Atif - who worked for the Voice of America broadcasting service - was shot in the head by attackers on a motorcycle who fled from the scene.
His death has been condemned by his employers and by campaigning groups.
The Reporters Without Borders campaign group say Pakistan was the deadliest country for journalists in 2011.
Last year, 10 journalists were killed there as a result of their work, the group says.Warnings
Mr Atif - who was based in the Mohmand tribal region - was reported to be among several reporters in the area who had been receiving threats because of his work.
A bystander who was with him at the time of the attack was seriously injured.
Journalists are increasingly facing death threats in reporting the conflict in Pakistan's war-torn tribal areas. For years, Mukarram Khan performed that frontline role, covering the lawless north-west for radio and TV.
Colleagues said he had received threats from the militants, who accused him of projecting American views. Others are frequently intimidated and receive death threats from armed groups, as well as the security services.
A colleague of Mr Khan has been told he's on the Taliban's hit list and could be next, if he doesn't change his ways. In recent years, many journalists from the tribal areas have been forced to move their families to urban areas like Peshawar.
But even there, says a journalist who was abducted and tortured by a Pakistani security service, there are no guarantees - a bullet can come from anywhere, anytime.
Mr Atif was buried on Wednesday in his home town of Shabqadar.
A spokesman for the militants told the BBC that he was shot dead for not conveying the Taliban's point of view.
The spokesman said that he had been warned many times before for not telling their side of the story.
The BBC's Syed Shoaib Hasan in Karachi says that the Taliban had warned of dire consequences in recent propaganda statements and videos.
The militants said that they would attack facilities and employees of media organisations if they did not refrain from what they called "malicious propaganda".
Our correspondent says that it is the first time that the militants have accepted responsibility for such a killing.
Mr Atif, 40, complained that he had received threats from militants in Mohmand several months ago and had moved away from there to the nearby town of Charsadda.
In a statement, Voice of America (VOA) said that he had been working for its Deewa Radio service since 2006.
"Mr Atif risked his life on a daily basis to provide his audience with fair and balanced news from this critical region and we mourn the loss of our colleague," VOA Director David Ensor said.
It said that the murdered reporter also worked for local TV stations in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Area, a region where Taliban and al-Qaeda militants are active.

I walked out of the first movie in The Hunger Games series, directed by Pleasantville's Gary Ross, feeling surprisingly frustrated.

"As a Career Path It's Not Advisable": Geoff Dyer on His Idiosyncratic Writing
It would be fashionable, I suppose, to sit here and stew over what, exactly, to write about Geoff Dyer, how to accurately reveal the pleasure that comes from reading his work. But let's say this: over the course of 14 books and frequent forays into essays and journalism, Geoff Dyer is a joy to read, whether he's writing about jazz, photography, Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, D.H. Lawrence, drugs, or anything else in the world. He has a gift for making the world seem more strange and mysterious, and his work makes the reader curious. So much of the world is structured so that you don't have to think at all, ever; Dyer's work is a corrective. … Read More
Where to Start With Geoff Dyer
There are prolific writers, and then there's Geoff Dyer. Over 30 years, he's produced more than a dozen books, along with countless essays and reviews for a number of different publications. Yet what sets the English writer apart from many of his contemporaries isn't his volume as much as his versatility. Dyer's ability to jump from one topic to the next, and shift effortlessly from nonfiction to fiction, is impressive. … Read More
10 Must-Read Books for May
Despite the fact that the rain and cold have stubbornly refused to leave some parts of the US, it's spring, and spring means things are in bloom. Sure, we're talking about flowers, but we're also talking about a bunch of debut novels, along with a few new books by some veterans. All of it is very exciting. May's calender is so good, in fact, that we also have to fit in mentions of Young God by Katherine Faw Morris, The Fun We've Had by Michael J. Seidlinger, and Dan Barber's exploration into the future of food, The Third Plate. All of those books are great enough to be on this list, but we could only fit the following ten. … Read More

It was a well-deserved honor for a fascinating exploration of the way drink inflects the work of a number of male writers. But it is difficult to classify, generically. It's not quite a biography, and not quite literary criticism, and not quite memoir either. This is one of my favorite kinds of books, I should say, the kind that give you the lives of other writers embedded in a strong point of view from the writer herself, and do something more than your garden-variety kitchen-sink biography manages to achieve. Here are some books you could buy, along with Laing's, if that formula sounds up your alley. … Read More
Flavorwire's 15 Most Anticipated Books of 2014
The last 365 days yielded a considerable bounty of great books to get through, and the next 12 months on the calendar promise to be no different. Even though you're surely sick and tired of reading what people thought about 2013 books while you're maybe still trying to get through The Flamethrowers or James McBride's past works before diving into his 2013 National Book Award winner The Good Lord Bird, some of these 2014 books might make you consider putting last year's selections to the side, and living in the now. And since there is so much to chose from when you visit your local bookstore, we picked out 15 coming out in the first half of the new year that have our undivided attention. … Read More

The 25 Greatest Essay Collections of All Time
This week marks the release of Aleksandar Hemon's excellent book of personal essays, The Book of My Lives, which we loved, and which we're convinced deserves a place in the literary canon. To that end, we were inspired to put together our list of the greatest essay collections of all time, from the classic to the contemporary, from the personal to the critical. In making our choices, we've steered away from posthumous omnibuses and multi-author compilations, and given what might be undue weight to our favorite writers (as one does).

Investigators have determined that Saturday's three-alarm fire at the South Street Seaport was caused by electrical wiring catching fire underneath Pier 17.
Fire officials say the wires supply power to vending machines and lighting along the pier.
Flames broke out around 4 p.m. Saturday, just as hundreds of people were out enjoying the weather and attending a summer music festival.
Firefighters had to use chainsaws to remove some wooden planks to get to the fire and also battled the flames from the water.
The mall at the pier had to be evacuated, but was later reopened and the music festival was also able to continue.
No injuries were reported.

The No. 25 Virginia baseball team overcame a four-run deficit Sunday to beat No. 15 Miami 7-4 and clinch the three-game series that concludes on Monday. The Cavaliers (30-14-1, 13-10 ACC) take over sole possession of second place in the ACC Coastal Division as Miami (27-16, 12-11) falls into third.
Virginia got six shutout innings of relief from Shane Halley (7-1) and a perfect three-strikeout performance in the ninth inning from Justin Thompson to secure the win. Halley faced 20 batters and allowed just two hits and two walks. Thompson earned his eighth save of the season. UVa's bullpen now has tossed 24-consecutive scoreless innings in ACC play.
Colin Harrington and Nate Irving each had a pair of hits and RBI Sunday to lead the offense. Miami committed five errors which led to six unearned runs for Virginia.
The Hurricanes jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning with a soloe home run followed by a three-RBI double.
Virginia added a run in the third and fourth innings to cut the deficit to two. They're close the gap in the fifth, scoring three runs on two hits. The Cavaliers took the lead on a single by Irving that scored Brandon Downes to make it 5-4.
The Cavaliers would add another two runs in the eighth inning while Halley and Thompson combined to keep the Hurricanes' bats silent the rest of the way.
The three-game series finale is set for 7 p.m. Monday and will be televised by ESPNU.

Wintergreen Resort is the largest employer in Nelson County, and now a new construction project will make sure those employees will have a place to live.
During the winter season Wintergreen Resort hires 750 additional employees.
"With such a high seasonal volume here, it's a challenge every winter trying to find the space to put everybody," said Jeff Duncan, the Vice President of Human Resources.
This new project should ease some of that demand. Just a few days ago Wintergreen broke ground. Brand new apartments, they call Blue Ridge Housing, are currently in the works. It will house about 100 part-time employees.
"They'll be in walking distance from the main resort so they can park their cars for the entire time that they're here and walk to work each day," said Duncan.
Duncan said the apartments will be like a dorm, fully furnished with a living room and dining area. The staff will pay rent by the week that includes utilities.
Since spaces are limited, the new apartments will go on a first come first serve basis. Other employees will have to pay a little more to rent from nearby homes and condos.
"This is the beginning of a number of expansions that we're doing here at the resort," said Sarah Lovejoy, Wintergreen Resort Communications Manager.
Wintergreen is in the process of adding a new hotel to help with year round sales. That means more employee apartments could be popping up in the near future.
The Blue Ridge Housing is expected to be finished in December.

Meat, Seafood, & Eggs
Lean proteins support strong muscles, healthy bones, and optimal immune function and are the main source of energy in your diet. Protein also makes you fuller between meals. It is ideal to eat meat and seafood from grass-fed, organic-fed animals or wild-caught seafood sources.
Vegetables & Fruits
Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that have been shown to decrease the likelihood of developing a number of degenerative diseases including cancer, diabetes and neurological decline. However, fruits can be hard on your blood sugar if you overdo it, so we encourage you to limit your fruit intake. We recommend avoiding melons and dried fruit and eating mostly berries.
Fats & Oils, Nuts & Seeds
Scientific research shows that diets rich in Monounsaturated and Omega-3 fats dramatically reduce the instances of obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and cognitive decline. Fat also keep you feeling fuller between your main meals. That said, if your goal is fat loss, we caution against eating too many nuts. We recommend cooking with coconut oil and eating lots of avocado.
What You Can't Eat
Omitting all of the following foods and beverages will help you regain your healthy metabolism, reduce systemic inflammation, and help you discover how these foods are negatively impacting your health, fitness, and quality of life:
1) No Sugar. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, diet soda, flavored water, etc. Be careful to check ingredient lists for added sugar.
2) No Alcohol.
3) No Grains. This includes (but is not limited to) wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, millet, bulgur, sorghum, amaranth, buckwheat, sprouted grains, quiona
4) No Legumes. This includes beans of all kind (black, red, pinto, navy, white, kidney, lima, fava, etc.) peas, chickpeas, lentils, and peanuts (no peanut butter either). This also includes all forms of soy: soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin).
5) No Dairy. This includes milk products such as ice cream, coffee creamers, cheese, yogurt, and sour cream (with the exception of grass fed sources)
6) Minimal Starches. Limit your potato intake to post-WOD. NO POTATO CHIPS
7) No Processed Food. No protein bars, microwaveable meals, fast food, etc.

With the winter almost over and as spring quickly approaches it is time to pull out our grass skirts and coconut bras and celebrate Cabin Fever Day. March 9th is Cabin Fever Day but if you look across the USA many states celebrate this day in many different ways through out March.
In Minnesota there is a company called WineHaven Winery and Vineyard who is hosting a Cabin Fever Day on March 11th. This winery event is for people to come and taste their newest wines. They established their business back in 1995 and the entire business is run by one family. This may be something worth checking out if you live in the area of St. Paul, MN.
If you live near Appleton, WI and love the outdoors, then check out Trout Unlimited on March 24th. They'll be hosting a Cabin Fever Day at the Grand Meridian. The way they celebrate Cabin Fever is to have a guest speaker come and speak about different techniques involved in fishing. They'll even have demonstrations!
These are just 2 examples of places that have a Cabin Fever Day, search the calendar of places near you and see if anyone is hosting a Cabin Fever Day. If not, then why not create your own? Invite your family and friends to it. Luckily Cabin Fever Day lands on a Friday this year so you won't have to worry about getting to bed early for work the next day. Need ideas for a party? If it's still cold out, then throw an indoor Cabin Fever Day party. Keep the heater on so it's warm enough for people to break out the shorts. If you have an area you can put a plastic kid's pool, then set one up and tell everyone you are having a pool party. If it's warm enough to go outside, head to the lake for fishing and a BBQ. Another good Cabin Fever Day idea is to go camping for a weekend in March.
Whatever it is you do, make sure it's something that will give people a chance to stretch their legs, move around, and just have fun. After a long winter, that's something everyone needs! Be creative in what you choose and make sure it'll help people remember that spring has come and summer is soon to follow!
If you can't throw a party but still want to acknowledge the day, or if you want a creative way to invite people to your Cabin Fever Day party, then check out some of these sites: www.123greetings.com and www.yahoo.americangreetings.com for free ecards to send everybody. Have fun and enjoy Cabin Fever Day!

Age: 27
Weight: 270lbs
Height: 6' 3"
I'm not exactly sure how to figure out my BMR for calories. Can someone share a link or the math problem so I can figure out what my maintenance lvl for calories is. Also any info on how to figure my macros for a cut would also be great. Currently I'm training one body part per day and doing 1hr of cardio broke into two 30 min sessions. I just need to know what my base metabolic rate is so I can cut 300-500 calories per week until I start dropping weight again. Please share the link to the info or the math problem so I can calculate that info.
A little history on myself April 18th 2010 I jumped on the scale and it read 362lbs and my bf% was 50%. After roughly a year and half of halfass dieting and lifting religiously I have managed to drop a little weight and put on some muscle. I'm trying to cut down from my current weight of 270lbs and hit 230lbs by April 2012. As of the last month i haven't lost any more weight I have kind of stalled but all my lifts have gone up (which im loving). Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Fellow Hounds! I need help with Toronto dining
- Disneyfreak Jun 17, 2009 07:59 AM
Hi friends! I will be traveling to Toronto on business in August. I will be with a coworker, although we might go our separate ways at some point so I might be a lone female for some dinners. We will be attending a conference at the Sheraton Centre Toronto, 123 Queen Street West, Toronto.
As this is the way my brain works I am already thinking about my dining options for the trip. These boards are a great source of information and I've started putting together a list of possibilities. I would, however love your thoughts on possible dining options for dinners. We can't go crazy with the spending since we are on the company dime. Per diem rates are about $103 per day for food. I usually do 2 meals a day -- with one being cheap so I can save my money for dinner.
I like all sorts of food. I'm from NJ and I'm looking forward to spending some time in Toronto. Thanks for your help!
You'll be able to eat very well on $103/day here, especially since the exchange rate boosts that to about $115/day CAD. Can you give us a little guidance as to the type of food and/or experience you're looking for? And how far are you willing to travel from your hotel via cab or transit?
re: TorontoJo
ah! but don't forget our higher taxation, it'll take a bit out of that exchange rate boost.
re: pinstripeprincess
True enough. So it will be essentially par. She can still eat well for that amount, though!
re: TorontoJo
Also, how many days will you be here--so, how many meals are you looking at?
DF, if you don't want to travel far there is a nice Italian restaurant just opposite the hotel called "Little Anthony's". Other good options nearby would be Milagro (higher end Mexican) or Reds (North American I wuld best describe it as). Also nearby is Osgoode Hall http://www.lsuc.on.ca/about/a/osgoode... if you have free time for lunch.
I'm sure other posters will have better suggestions, these are the ones that came to my mind.
Have a great trip!
Hi! Greetings from TO,
Based on my previous visits to NJ, I cannot recall any place that offers great Cantonese and Portuguese cuisine. As such, I'll definitely allocate some of your time for a meal at Lai Wah Heen and/or Chiado. I don't believe NJ or even NYC offers this calibre of fine Cantonese and Portuguese cuisine. The highly touted Canoe, which offers a menu that focuses on Canadian ingredients is also a great choice.
With your per diem budget, to fully enjoy the above captioned three relatively expensive restaurants, I guess you really need to sacrifice a bit on your lunch. A bowl of noodles with won-ton or Chinese bbq meat from China town at around $5 would be a good, cheap and delicious choice!
Here are some ideas, prices are per person. Unless it says prix fixe, I'm including some wine.
-Black Hoof $50-60 dinner
-Cava $70-90 dinner
-Le Select $35 prix fixe dinner
-Il Mulino $39 prix fixe dinner (not on Saturday)
-Tutti Matti $15 prix fixe lunch
-Grace $80-100 dinner
-Nota Bene $80-100 dinner
-Caplansky's $15-22 lunch or dinner
-The Coffee Mill $20-25 lunch or dinner
-Terroni $30 lunch or dinner
-Canoe for drinks only, the view is great
-Soma chocolate, world class chocolates in a nice setting
-Asian Legend $20-25 lunch or dinner, best to go with someone to share plates.
-Simple Bistro $80-100 dinner
-The Queen Mother $25 lunch
-Chinese Bun place on Baldwin (don't know exact name, it's around Baldwin and McCaul) $5 lunch
-Konichiwa $15 lunch
-Tabule $25 dinner
-George $ 100-140 dinner
I hope this gives you some ideas
re: dubchild
There are some good suggestions in here; as Charles_Yu stated above, you should be able to enjoy most restaurants in the city, especially if you're conscious about how much you drink.
Also, in your area, the best bets for Japanese food will be Ematei for cooked food (forget the sushi; also a really good spot for a cheap and delicious lunch specials), and Take Sushi for sushi.
thanks for all the information. I will look over the places you mentioned so far and share the ideas with my coworker.
I've heard about Note Bene and it was on my list of possible dinner choices.
Here are some other possibilities -- what do you all think of these places?
Auberge du Pommier
Smoke Poutine (I've been wanting to try Poutine -- perhaps for lunch.)
Loire restaurant
The Harbord Room
Silver Spoon
Table 17
re: Disneyfreak
I'd probably avoid Conviction, Cowbell, and Smoke's (try Poutini instead; it's by no means perfect, but it's better than Smoke's).
I'd also add Bymark to the list (for the burger and lobster poutine).
How long are you staying here?
re: Disneyfreak
Auberge is a really nice experience food is really decent, as is the service. But it's far from DT Sheraton. About a 20-25min TTC ride and then hmn... 5 min walk from the station.
Most interesting these days to me is the Black Hoof. You can check the blog for a write up of our first visit, but we've been more recently and enjoyed it just as much. "Menu" shots are there too. It serves nose-to-tail type stuff and the menu is always in chalk on the wall. Great drinks.
You've already got Nota Bene down - slowish service fyi, so don't be in a rush.
I really like Harbour 60 at the bar for drinks. Don't know why. Maybe it's the bacon strips or the atmosphere, probably the company I was in, but it's fun. Really good (huge) steak.
Toronto does Cantonese food really well and you're really close to Lai Wah Heen, the best dim sum you'll find downtown. I think Pearl @ the Harbourfront isn't bad either, but LWH is just the full package. I'd say go for Dim Sum Lunch if you can. Not cheap, so this might be a splurge lunch.
George has a lovely patio. If it's nice, see if you can sit there.
Canoe is nice for it's Canadiana based menu as well as the view. I went about 6 weeks back and thought the service and food was ok/good. I wouldn't go back any time soon, but it wasn't bad by any means. I think JK Wine Bar is really good for local ingredients too. The latter is better for single dining. Food tends to get over-salted, but it's not been the make-or-break that it has been for some.

re: Disneyfreak
If you want to try poutine, get yourself up to City Hall (Bay & Queen Sts.) and order it from one of the vending trucks which park there everyday...you'll notice lots of people lining up so it won't be difficult to find. I've heard the "blue truck" is the superior choice. Cheap & cheerful and by all accounts, much much better than Smoke's (which has garnered many a bad review here and in local publications). Second, Conviction was just give a really poor review in a local paper this past weekend, scratch if from your list immediately. I personally would recommend Le Select, the food is consistently amazing and the location is so incredibly charming....a place any lady would feel completely comfortable dining solo. Hope that helps!
re: Disneyfreak
you have the harbord room on the list but right next door it is the DT Bistro which is a favorite for my wife and I. the deserts (DT stands for dessert trends) are amazing as this is the chefs speciality but there entrees are so good my mouth is watering just thinking about them. i would definatly put this place on your list.
My picks for your 4 nights that'll give you a broad tasting of what Toronto has to offer, that is within your budget and wthin 15min cab ride from your hotel, are:
1) Mengrai Thai - Toronto does Asian well and this one is, to me, one of the better and unique in Toronto and you're not likely to find similar in NJ
2) George - Consistently one of the better restaurants in Toronto. Classic.
3) Lai Wah Heen - What Charles said.
4) C5 at the ROM - This might take you above your budget but then Mengrai is below your budget, so they should balance out! Excellent food, modern chic ambiance and you can stay in the lounge for drinks on your last night here.
Whatever you decide, hope you enjoy your stay!
Too bad you'll just miss the Caribana festivities that will end on the day you arrive. It's one of the biggest events of the year here.
Also, if you're lucky enough to have a fridge in the room, head down to the St. Lawrence Market for some great snacks: Montreal Style Bagels and cream cheese, any number of cheeses, breads, cold cuts and jams. You could head to Scheffler's, for example, grab some serrano ham, some olives, some Manchego cheese and some rye bread and grab a bottle of Rene Barbier Penedes or Waupoos Cider to wash it all down at the hotel.
re: currycue
Thanks for the information everyone! Feel free to keep the ideas coming. It's confusing, but fun.
The conference has limited exhibition time so I have time to explore (and eat!) I'm thinking that on my last day (the day out of town) I will hit Lai Wah Heen for dimsum.
I'm leaning toward Nota Bene an George for dinner.
The Black Hoof is probably a little too out there for my coworker. The other 2 nights are still up in the air plan wise.

Another Question! (haha) This ties in a bit, maybe you can tell me what to disable to get my ram usage down. Because I have 8gb's of RAM ( first time, other laptop was 4gb ) But its contantly using 1.5+ gb's of it even at idle and Im not sure why.
Ok on to my first question.
This is my process list.
Any advice is greatly appreciated, Im used to a service list on a dell, but HP has a load of stuff that im unfamiliar with, so im not jumping up and down to start disabling everything, as when i fist got my laptop I promptly disabled my fingerprint scanner haha.

Be sure and disable services.
Be sure and take the "advice" from Viper.
Then be sure and stay away, when you have problems.
What I am saying is:
Leave the services alone.
Microsoft will only start a service when and if the service is needed.
You can get all kinds of quack advice on services. Don't feed the ducks.
Why am I so adamant? Because of the number of wierd and unusual problems we encounter from people who think they know better than the development teams who developed your Win 7.
We spend way too much time trying to chase down problems that have been caused by the "tuner" who messes with the services.
Since many times, determining what has been done is impossible, then our only resort is to recommend a clean install of Win 7 to fix the problem.

well thats all fine then. I decided that what i would gain was not close to anything worth losing. I juust decided to do a nice disk defrag...nice and long...haha.

Which defrag program are you using?
There are only two that are truly safe:
1. The Windows Defragmenter
2. Contig from the SysInsternals folk:
to defrag the c: using contig, you would:
download contig from Contig
extract from the downloaded contig.zip the file contig.exe to the Desktop
go to an elevated command prompt
enter following command:
%userprofile%\desktop\contig.exe -s c:\*
The first defrag will take longer than subsequent defrags.
