Neither a confirmed case of Ebola fever nor a suspected case has been reported so far in Mali, according to results from laboratory tests, cited on Wednesday.
On the sidelines of a joint conference by the Malian Minister of Health and Public Hygiene, Ousmane Koné, and the resident representative of the World Health Organisation in Mali, Dr. Ibrahima Socé Fall.
Reporters gathered that tests from the samples taken from two Malian gold washers in Guinea returned negative results.
The minister said, however, that as additional preventive measure, the country's health authorities had ordered that sample of the body cell of a Malian who died in Guinea, where he had gone to receive medical treatment, be taken for tests.

DENVER (AP) - The Colorado Avalanche have retired the No. 19 of longtime captain Joe Sakic in a ceremony before the season opener against San Jose.
The team also raised a banner bearing his name and number to the rafters Thursday night at Pepsi Center. Sakic's number becomes just
the third retired since the Avalanche relocated to Denver in 1995, joining Patrick Roy (33) and Ray Bourque (77).
The crowd gave Sakic numerous ovations during a lengthy ceremony that featured a look back on his career, video highlights, and a speech from president Pierre Lacroix.
Sakic announced his retirement on July 9 after a 20-year career. He left the game among the NHL's career scoring leaders, winding up eighth in points (1,641), 11th in assists (1,016) and 14th in goals (625).

Middle name tag
Lucy from Box Elder double-tagged me last week. Here's the first task: to describe oneself using the letters of one's middle name.
I have two middle names. One is Isabelle, but I thought I'd use my other middle name, May, so as to cut down the potential number of fascinating insights into my personality.
M: Maternal. I was never particularly maternal before having children, but the moment that Daughter 1 was put into my arms, I was besotted. Ever since then I've been a huge fan of all babies. Naturally, my babies were the most beautiful and intelligent ones ever born – and still are. Alas, I'm a regrettably clingy mother, not good at the whole bring-them-up-and-let-them-fly thing.
I do try, though. Daughter 1 nannied in Belgium and then went to Oxford University followed by the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford to do her Master's. Daughter 2 did her first degree at Edinburgh but her Master's at Sheffield, while Son… all right, he did both degrees at Edinburgh, but is off to New Zealand in March and April for an elective at a hospital in Nelson. He's going with his young lady and they're SO EXCITED, while I'm thinking – oh! my baby! on the other side of the world!
A: - I have a bit of trouble with this one. Anxious is what comes first to mind, but I wouldn't like to think that I come across as nothing but a big anxious blob. Accommodating, maybe (sometimes too accommodating? Not good at saying no.) Awkward? Certainly I was awkward as in shy when I was young, though I do think that being obviously shy at my advanced age is a bit pathetic, so now I pretend not to be. Awkward as in difficult? Well, I dare say everyone is sometimes. I don't try to be, anyway.
Y: There aren't many adjectives beginning in Y. Yellow would probably fit quite well (see Anxious) but let's not overemphasise this. Yearning? (if only x,y and z were different then life would be so much easier). Yappy? I have been known to chat. An adjective starting Yore… or Yester… would be appropriate. I've always been interested in the past and the recording of lives and have read lots and lots of published diaries and letters. And now, of course, I read lots of blogs, which catch the fleeting days like butterflies in a net and pin them on a sheet for passersby to admire.
Just think how long this post would have been if I'd given you Isabelle…
It's ok to allow cats in sinks, though? Much more hygenic. This is Cassie.
If any of the following would be prepared to be tagged and to tell us about themselves based on their middle names, please do so: Sheep's Clothing, Liz of Not in Your Ear and Smoke and Ash.
PS - I did this post and then managed to make it vanish. I know that there's a draft somewhere but where? so I redid it. (It was already a Word document so it wasn't that arduous.) Couldn't have my profound thoughts lost to the world, could I? So I'm also:
Mildly irritated
Annoyed with myself
Yes, an idiot

A lovely post, and you're quite a good mom.
The world always seems right somehow after I read your posts.

Another fascinating insight into your life Isabelle. Thank you for sharing it with us. I find it hard to imagine you being awkward.
I'm so glad you have those cats trained.

Isabelle, You are never an idiot! I love to read your posts.
Those catlets have a lot of fun!!
I rather agree with Tanya, I somehow feel comforted after reading your posts.

Is that a wry expression on your daughter's face, or a guilty one?

And what's so wrong with living on this (the other) side of the world?....lol.
I hope your son has a wonderful time in NZ. I'll mentally check up on him and you can do the same for my son and daughter who are presently living in Belgium ...lol.

- Lucy said...
Well done Isabelle. Your very healthy love for and pride in your children - and what a clever lot they are - really shines out and is one of the things that makes this blog such a warming thing! You may say you don't feel very good at letting them go, but it seems to me you do it very well, and if you are honest about finding it hard then you do it so much the better.
And you don't come across as any kind of blob!
- 1:37 pm
- Cathy said...
lol I loved reading this post... I love it when people articulate what they are thinking so well! And wow - you're kids sound very successful and happy - which means you're a star mum!

- Linds said...
I have a really good friend, who is a doctor in Nelson. He used to be our doctor here, and if your son visits Wellington, they could always go and see my daughter and her friends! Nelson is spectacular. He will love it. But yes. It is a long way away.
- 9:51 pm
- Yummers! said...
You tickle me with not ever mentioning your children's names, but showing pictures of them in pajamas and in their beds. You're funny!
I love your bathroom sink. I've never seen one like that.
- 2:06 am
- Tall Girl said...
Lucy tagged me for this, and I graciously declined (see about a week ago)- but thanks for thinking of me...
- 12:45 pm
- Molly said...
Isabelle---google Erma Bombeck kites to read one of my favourite descriptions of raising children.....
- 8:18 pm
- Thimbleanna said...
Ah, what a great entry. We gained such insight from just three letters -- think what would have been from Isabelle! I was going to say how lucky you've been to have such fine children, but somehow I think it wasn't luck but a lot of hard work and great mothering on your part! How exciting for your son -- a great adventure. Mine is anxious to spread his wings and go on and adventure too -- he's been invited to re-do that bad interview, so that's a good thing! As always, love the catlets!

How do you keep the cats off the bed?!? When mine were kittens, one slept curled around my head and one slept on my chest. Not too comfy -- for me, anyway.
I worried and worried that I had no maternal feelings until I held my first dd. Wow -- the depth of my emotions were amazing from that moment forward. I don't think I'll be very good at letting them go.
- 8:28 pm
- Suse said...
Cats in the sink is FINE, not to mention photogenic.
We used to have a Burmesewho liked the bathroom a great deal. She'd follow anyone who went in there and watch all their ablutions with great interest. And then one day she started to use the toilet. You know, as a toilet. I kid you not. (Saved a helluva lot on kitty litter costs).

It is not easy to judge a product like Madagascar Kartz for Nintendo DS. The Activision's game seems pleasant and well structured. The sympathy of the characters, very welcome extras, a good technician and a good mechanical compartment make everything positive. If, however, inevitably, we compare the product with Mario Kart DS, the views change. The Nintendo title appears in fact definitely superior in all points of view and without doubt.
The pros do outweigh the cons in this kart racer, and hopefully the younger players can tolerate the elements I found entirely too frustrating.
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 1
Mixed: 0 out of 1
Negative: 1 out of 1
Nov 7, 2013This game just sucks. It's just a cheap, poorly made rip of Mario Kart. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this horrible, horrible game. There's little courses compared to Mario Kart DS. Get that instead if you're a racing fan.… Expand

Phinney Ridge House Rental Photos and Description
1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, Sleeps 6
Adorable 1+ bedroom single family cottage in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle. Enjoy sitting out on the front porch or take in the local sites. The #5 bus picks up 1 block away and will have you downtown in a matter of minutes. Within 5 blocks are some of the best restaurants Seattle has to offer, as well as numerous boutique stores, grocery store, and coffee shops (of course!). If you aren't familiar with the neighborhood, you will not be disappointed to discover it. The Woodland Park Zoo is a manageable 15 block walk or a quick hop on and off the #5 bus.
The home features a queen size bed in one bedroom and an uncommonly comfortable queen size sleeper sofa in the living room. The upscale sleeper sofa has no bars to wreck a good night's sleep and a very thick foam mattress for the ultimate in comfort. The 2nd sleeping area features two twins with skylights and low ceiling height which makes it ideal for kids but a bit tight for adults which is why we have a maximum of 6 people, only 4 of whom can be adults.

Got Mirena 1 month ago. 37 yr old mother of 2.
Insertion was a breeze- slight "poke" feeling with the lidocane and then I felt nothing.
Very light cramps the day of insertion.
Light to moderate spotting for a week. Now only a light spot about once a week.
No weight gain. Previously used pills- was always ravenously hungry and moody, bloated the week before period. That is all gone.
And the sex drive is better than on the pill. I love it, reccommend it. Good luck!

Why do the lovely ladies get a form of yellow in this shirt but the manly men are stuck with the colors which are uncharacteristic of the theme? The light lemon looks very acceptable for both genders. I bet that most would agree that we need gender equality, well, atleast when it comes to this shirt. Thanks and keep up the good and appropriately-priced work!

Birmingham & Montgomery Good Eats - help!
- w
- wanderlust21 Feb 18, 2010 11:26 AM
I'm a San Francisco hound going through Alabama on a road trip, the primary purpose of the trip is to eat good food, particularly regional food. I've never been to Alabama before, so any opinions good or bad about the places below or other not to be missed spots would be helpful.
- Dreamland & Waysider for BBQ in Tuscaloosa
- Bob Sykes BBQ
- Hot & Hot or Highland's in Birmingham? I can do one high end dinner and need to
choose between them, or find some good less expensive options.
- Martin's for fried chicken in Montgomery
- Chuck's BBQ in Opelika
Let me know if you have any favorites along the route. Thanks in advance!
If you've never been there, go to Highlands for your high-end meal. The restaurant was just named a semifinalist for James Beard Award for best restaurant. It sdeserves every accolade.
Hot and Hot's Chris Hastings also is a Beard semifinalist for best chef in the South, so you can't go wrong with that place, either.
An addition worth considering: Bright Star Restaurant in Bessemer, which just got an American Classics Beard award. Try the snapper throats.
re: Big Daddy
For fine dining, Frank Stitt's Highlands is fantastic and Bottega is great but I actually prefer his Chez FonFon. They are each completely different experiences. If you put yourself in any of his restaurants, you'll be happy you did. http://methoo.com
I definitely second Highlands over Hot & Hot, but an even better Frank Stitt restaurant is Bottega, just down the street from both places. There's a white-tablecloth side and a cheaper cafe side--both are excellent.
If you want good Southern food in Birmingham, go to Niki's downtown or Niki's West out on Finley Ave. Cafeteria-line meat-and-three. Make sure you get the banana pudding.
re: scoobyhed
I would skip either Niki's. They're ok but nothing special. If you have toget banana pudding somewhere, get it at Dreamland. Although if you actually do Tuscaloosa, I hear Archibald's is better than Dreamland. I think Dreamland is somewhat of an institution, but they cook their ribs over an open fire; they are not offset smoked.
re: Dax
I also would recommend Niki's West (by Finley, *not* the one downtown) for a fine, cafeteria-style meat & 3 at lunch. Think of a vegetable and they've got it.

In Tuscaloosa, you have it right with Dreamland and Waysider (for breakfast) but also consider Archibald's in Northport for their ribs.
Martin's has some fine fried chicken in Montgomery.
re: deepfriedkudzu
Archibald's and Woodrow's ribs may be good but their service is really unbelievably horrible. I'm talking about the sit down restaurant in Northport. Been there twice, disliked it twice.
re: deepfriedkudzu
I like Niki's I order the Greek chicken served with a lemony broth -- I always as for extra. The vegetables are the stars. I suggest taking a peek at the offerings before getting in line. The line moves fast, so there's little time for dallying. You may find yourself at the cash register with no food or with enough to feed a small family.
Ditto on the Dreamland banana pudding, and I'm not a huge nanner puddin' fan. Avoid the macaroni and cheese. I think it comes ready-made in a bag. Blech.
Thanks for your responses. I appreciate the community support! I'm adding your suggestions, updated below for future reference. As I can only eat so much, hints on your favorite dishes are much appreciated.
Waysider - breakfast
Dreamland - ribs, banana pudding
Archibald's - ribs
The Bright Star - snapper throats
Bob Syke's - ribs, lemon pie, bbq pork
Highland's - baked grits
Martin's - fried chicken
Chuck's BBQ - pork sandwich
Anyone thoughts on these from another list?
Peach Park, Clanton - peach pie
Downtowner, Selma - cobbler
Amsterdam Cafe, Auburn - crab cake sandwich
re: wanderlust21
If you get to Highland's on a Thursday, you must get the crab cake with beurre blanc. Absolutely fabulous!!!
re: wanderlust21
Are the fried green tomatoes at the Irondale Cafe (whistlestop cafe from the movie Fried Green Tomatoes) any good? Perhaps add that to your list? Irondale is right outside of Birmingham.
In Tuscaloosa, Archibald's is indeed better than Dreamland, but they do not have beer or banana pudding, so... Do not eat at any Dreamland other than the original on Jug Factory Road. Also in Tuscaloosa, Maggie's has much better food than the Waysider. I would alos swing by Bill's in Northport and get some cornbread. You also shoud go to the art museum in Tuscaloosa -- up a the north river club. It is a real gem.
In Birmingham, Highlands is great. Bottega is great. Hot and Hot is great. They are all like great restaurants in San Francisco, adn on that same level. I would eat locally, adn that means meat and 3 places or barbecue. It also will be easy on the wallet. Nikki's for the former. and for my money, the original Golden Rule in Irondale is the place to go, but others sear by the original Fulll Moon and many others. ..There are two keys for baribcue in Alabama: always eat only at the original of any chain, and if there is no picture of Bear Bryant on the wall, turn around and leave. For a bereak, you might try Nabeel's in the Homewood section of Birmingham, whcih always has a great fish sandwich
you also will find great seafood in Alabama -- better, I dare say, than San Francisco. (You dont believe me) I would eat at Jubilee Seafood in Montgomery, with breakfast or lunch at the Farmer's Maket. Do not go to Selma. It will break your heart..
Go to Mobile for the seafood. Wonderrful oysters, so cheap they're almost free
re: dcbbq
re Archibald's BBQ
@dcbbq I appreciate the advice about going to the original location of any of the bbq chains. The Southern Foodways Alliance has Archibald's BBQ at 1211 MLK Blvd in Northport, but Google Maps shows two other locations of "Archibald's & Woodrow's" in Northport? Which one is the original?
re Pie and Cobbler
Any suggestions for places with pie or cobbler worth stopping for?
Thanks for your responses. Here's my updated list: http://bit.ly/bLQ8zR There is so much to eat between New Orleans and Atlanta! I will have many difficult decisions to make on what to fit into a few days (and one stomach). I could not convince my friends to eat their way through MS and AL with me. They are gonna be sorry they missed it!
re: wanderlust21
DCBBQ is right about going to the original location of barbecue restaurants for the 'real' flavor. Archibald's is on MLK. It's a tiny little building, and it's *really* not set up for you to eat inside. Get yourself a Grape Nehi out of the cooler and eat on one of the picnic tables outside, feed the stray cats some extra white bread.
Dreamland used to pride itself on only serving ribs and bread, but it's not like that any more (even at the original in T'loosa).
The best pie in Alabama may well be at the Twix N Tween (297 Walnut St) in Centreville. The most unusually-shaped meringue - super tall. Delish.
DCBBQ is also right about Selma being a disappointment. If you're there at suppertime, I think the best you can do is get a prime rib at Tally Ho, which is fine, but it's not something you're going to remember by the time you get back home.
Now if you are in Tuscaloosa at suppertime, by all means go to Nick's in the Sticks. You'll need to GPS it because their sign blew down after a hurricane years ago and they've never fixed it. So literally it's a restaurant that just everyone knows and it's so great that they just don't need it.
BTW, I looked at your list and as a person who has traveled to Louisiana extensively for the last several years, you have chosen wisely. I have to mention in particular that you will crave the charbroiled oysters at Drago's for the rest of your life (go to the original one in Metairie, not the one in the CBD).
In Mississippi, you have it right with the Old Country Store in Lorman. The Big Apple Inn is famous for their pig ear sandwiches (which I've had; unusual texture). The Delta has the best tamales, and I really recommend Hick's in Clarksdale. Cock of the Walk in Natchez has some 'tourist' vibe. They flip the cornbread in the skillet for you, which if you're bringing kids might be fun, but otherwise, you may want to consider dining at one of the stately B&Bs there, which really can be a quite nice experience. At lunch, Mammy's Cupboard is okay but the thing to *really* have there (and you can walk in just for this) is their desserts. Hummingbird, red velvet, carrot, oh yes. Natchez also has a crazy-good doughnut shop right on the highway whose name escapes me at the moment but it's in a light blue building right on a curve/corner. Get an elephant ear and thank me later.
re: wanderlust21
Go to MLK. Note that you probably will have to eat in the car or at a picnic table, since they only have 5 stools inside. (Actually they have a 6th hidden for emergencies) The barbecue at Archibald and Woodrow's is no good at all. the best thing they have there is the fried catfish snack, whcih is pretty good if you eat it right away (but nowhere as god as Catfish Delight). they have a full bar and karaoke at night, both of which I view as bad signs
I would skip the fried green tomatoes on Irondale unless you really liked the book
I looked at the rest of your trip. Can I go on your next trip?
A couple of suggestions. In New Orleans, I would go to Crabby Jacks..for a po boy -- bigger and better than Domilisi's, and they also have a duck po boy. And I always get a muffuleta at Central Grocery when I go there.
In Mississippi, Stubb's in Yazoo City has wonderful pie, and is a good meat and three. There's also a good tamale place there onthe south side of 49w, on the west side of town.
In Georgia, you can get a good met and three in most towns by heading to the courthouse square.
re: wanderlust21
That was a great trip Wanderlust. I hope you have been on a diet since. How did you like City Grocery.
City Grocery
152 Courthouse Sq, Oxford, MS 38655
re: dcbbq
Jubilee is the most overpriced and overrated place for what you get in town- especially now that the prices have gone up. I don't understand why I always see recommendations for this place- maybe they are ordering something I am not. The crab claws and fish are always so over cooked and shriveled up in my experience- the sides are over simplified to dirty rice and a roll- I don't know- just seems so lackluster. I'd rather go to aw shucks in wetumpka or capitol oyster- at least you pay for what you get there- Jubilee gets the fish right from Destin Connection Seafood Market. Go there instead and get a fish sandwich at lunch. But please, don't give the Jubilee people your money.
re: araess
If you really do want to try a good oyster bar in town, check out Young Barn Oyster Bar.
Their happy hour can't be beat. 1 dollar high gravity beers, great bloody marys, 6 dollars a dozen raw oysters, the crab claws are the plumpest, best quality in town- 8 dollar all you can eat fried grouper fingers.. If you expect a fish burrito when you order a fish taco, I would recommend that as well- also made with grouper. Probably the best in town for this sort of food, atmosphere and food like you would expect down on the gulf in little shacks. I like it.
re: araess
Tried young barn again last night- gotta say I was disappointed. I don't know if a different chef was working or what- but all of the good things I described above were bad this time- crab claws especially. Heavily margarined bread with fennel seeds all over it on the blackened shrimp po-boy. Guess I spoke too soon on this place.
re: araess
Thanks for the update! I was thinking about this place the other day after reading you mentioned it, I guess i'll skip and head to Capital Oyster insteadl. PBR+cold oysters=perfect for me .
re: araess
Completely agreed. I don't see what the big deal is about this place, and it's about triple the price of what it should be.
re: dcbbq
Gonna stick my nose in here, too. Saw's BBQ ranks very high (if not highest IMHO) for local BBQ, especially for their pulled pork. I will confess that their success may be hurting them...the quality has not been as good the last two times we went, and it's difficult to get a seat at lunch and suppertime on weekends. I am also surprised that Jim 'N' Nicks doesn't get mentioned more. They are my favorite "chain" BBQ joint in the area. I really like their ribs better than Dreamland. Big Daddy's in Warrior does great ribs, too, but it kind of depends on when you go. If you show up late in the evening, you get the straggler rib ends that are chewy and dried out, not to mention full of cartilage.
We ate at Jubilee in Montgomery once. I can't share anyone's enthusiasm for that place....it was really terrible. Alabama seafood better than San Francisco? Cheaper maybe. But better???? C'mon.
re: curej
For BBQ- especially spare ribs, gotta say the lunch special rib sammie at Smokin' S BBQ in wetumpka is amazing- it's cooked long and slow so that there is no give- all of the oil is cooked out of the fat so it just melts. Amazing- really the only bbq place worth going to now that I've seen how good spares can be- and comparatively how poorly they are usually served.
re: araess
Smoking S BBQ has a mobile van in Eclectic on Hwy. 63. Good stuff.
re: curej
Last I checked the gulf coast has a lot of seafood options. I think Birmingham (Ocean, Fish Market, etc) does a damn good overall with seafood considering its locale, but it's hard to compete with the offerings in port towns.
I also completely agreed with curej on both bbq places - those are my top two in town, although not as big of a fan of the ribs at Saw's
I wouldn't suggest martins in Montgomery in case you have lived here your whole life and are sentimental about it. The food is not outstanding. As for food specific to Alabama, you might try Alabama White BBQ sauce. That can be found at one place in Montgomery that I know of, at my favorite late night place called Love Shack on the Atlanta Highway.
Here they are known as beer joints, and you have to request the white bbq sauce. They take 20 minutes to prepare. The wings themselves are reminiscent of Jamaican jerk, and the sauce is basically horse radish mixed with mayonnaise.
As far as local Alabama flavors fused with fine dining, I have to recommend the yellowhammer.
Take a look at the menu and see what you think.
Montgomery has a large Korean population, and there is one Korean restaurant that I would recommend. It would be Arrirang, where you can bbq on the table, drink copious amounts of soju, and have karaoke on weekends.
As far as the rest of Montgomery is concerned, there isn't much you would find here that you wouldn't be able to find better in a big city. Most of the hotspots are meat and threes, my favorite being Davis Cafe, as it is less white blue blood and more black working man.
I have posted about Montgomery before here:
and have maps with any other type of food in montgomery you might enjoy here:
re: araess
Almost forgot about my favorite local restaurant in Montgomery overall, as a local. I've been trying to decide between Michael's Table, Number 16, and a handful of ethnic restaurants in the area including Arirang, Island Delight, India Palace, and East China for the best overall restaurant experience in Montgomery. I've taken into consideration the atmosphere, the waitstaff, and of course food preparation, ingredient quality, dish presentation, and alcohol selection. To weigh all of this out and come up with a real value for each, you must keep in mind that all of the contenders represent different styles of cuisine and price points. Although all of the places mentioned before are great in their own respects, only one can be the overall best. After last night's meal, I can say that Michael's table is the clear winner.
The wait staff was happy to see us. I felt like everything we said was listened to, and respond to engaging without being overbearing. Even the cooks behind the counter gave us a nod as we walked in. All of the recommendations by our waiter were spot on. He possessed a complete knowledge of the menu, where the ingredients come from- I was happy to hear they are using local produce from red root farm- what music was playing, and showed his true passion in the way he spoke about the meal. You can see that not only does he enjoy his job and appreciates food in general, he himself is a cultured individual, and respects the owner by recognizing talent and offering his to the restaurant.
There isn't anywhere in town where you can enjoy an atmosphere that has this much inherent romance. It reminds me of sitting in a french bistro run by friends and neighbors. The tables are tight but just enough to be cozy- and not so much that you feel as though you are rubbing elbows. The eclectic visual accents representing different cultures that adorn the walls and fixtures reflect the menu perfectly.
I saw many different cuisines represented on the menu, Mexican(tamales), Chinese(Mandarin Duck with Bok Choy), German(Wiener Schnitzel), French(coq au vin), Thai(Tom Kai Cod). The appetizer menu would be perfect for exploring tapas style. The items are not strict adherations to the respective dishes, but rather a masterful capturing of their flavor spectrums in such a way that the chef has lovingly made them his own by incorporating them into the overall theme of the restaurant- a celebration of Planet Earth and her flavors.
The german pinot noir we ordered was light and went well with the dishes. We ended up ordering the Smörgåsbord to start- smoked salmon/caper berries/whole grain mustard/red onion/sliced boiled egg/wasabi cream. Amazing. The waiter noticed without being asked that between app and main we needed some nibbles. He brought pita with EVO and pesto. The pita was fresh toasted and we ended up ordering more to have with our meal. For mains, Lamb Shank and Tom Kai Cod. In a true nod to the orchestral menu planning of the chef- the flavors were total opposites, but ended up complimenting each other superbly. Everything was there- the simple rustic flavors of regional europe on one dish, and the balanced melody of sour-tang/sweet/savory/spicy/fish/salt/herbal that only southeast asian cuisine can pull off on the other- and as opposites they attracted and made love.
For dessert we had shaved limoncello sorbet served with the lightest olive oil cakes, mint, and strawberry. It went perfectly with tawny port- I don't know where else has tawny in town, or limoncello. We learned from our waiter that Michael's specialty is the cheese plate, as he originates from a cheese background, so it was recommended we wait until he was there to try it.
Did I mention that this whole experience happened when the owner wasn't even there? Nobody was keeping the staff in line. They are all just that good and do it out of love for the owner and what he has created. This place is a complete package. Finding a restaurant anywhere else in the world of this caliber, pulling off this style, with this atmosphere would be difficult- even in larger metropolitan areas. Here's to you Michael! Stay amazing, please- for Montgomery, and for the love of food.
re: araess
Wanted to add that Michael's table does a great boozy brunch- really the only brunch in town worth going to in my opinion.
re: araess
Here's a review of a late night diner in the Montgomery- one of two late night dining places worth going to in the area- the other being love shack. There really aren't any diners like this anywhere else in town. I love Kitchen, and Beno (pronounced bean-oh), the nice guy that runs it. Sit at the bar so you can talk to him. They have breakfast cooked right in front of you and offer the standard fare- eggs, bacon, sausage links or patties, cheese grits, toast, omelets.. they have some things on the menu that aren't so typical like salmon croquettes and chicken and waffles. Their chicken and waffles special comes with 3 wings, two waffles, grits and eggs- and is a steal at 7 bucks. Beno says the secret is that they buy everything fresh- and that nothing is frozen but the fries. They do their own spices on the chicken, which I found to be just spicy and salty enough without being overboard. The chicken was the full wing, and was crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle, without being oily at all. They also do burgers- and some special burgers too- like the gump burger which borrows from a philly cheese steak with chopped beef and bell peppers and onions. They have rib plates on the weekends and some other specials running from time to time as well. I haven't tried those things yet but am interested. They are good about custom orders too- for instance I got a salmon croquette omelet which was great. What's the best thing about this place? They are open until 1 am during the week, and 3 am on the weekends. Most people order in and get pickup- so it's a quiet and personal experience to eat here- or has been the three times I've gone. Love shack is about the only other late night place to go around, and although the menu isn't as extensive here, you can still get a late-night meal that isn't in a bar- it's in a real diner like you would expect to find in a city! Most people will remember this location as the old Walt's diner- and then a waffle house I guess before that.. but I like the character now. We sat and had a good breakfast one morning and watched goodfellas on AMC with Beno- it's just that kind of atmosphere. Cheap, quick, and kind.

re: araess
One other place that is a little drive from montgomery but definitely worth the fine dining experience is http://springhouseatcrossroads.com/
Fresh local ingredients and a great chef. They also do a brunch.
for cheaper options in the same beautiful, lake martin area check out http://www.catherinesatcrossroads.com/
Their brunch is really good- and the market there is the closest thing we have to a whole foods in the area.
re: araess
AL white sauce recipe..........
First off, enjoy your trip - I wish I was SF bound! My trip to Napa/SF last year was one of the best trips i've had in a while. Every meal we had (except Gary Danko) at Coi, French Laundry, Redd, Fifth Floor, Bouchon, Bistro Jeanty - every single one was absolutely amazing. I drool thinking about that trip. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of dining scene in Alabama - we're about 10 years behind everyone else.
I'm utterly disappointed to see that nobody has mentioned SAM'S BBQ in Montgomery. It's hands down (imho) the best BBQ and it's been around forever. Get the large combo plate and a sweet tea. Get there earlier in the lunch hour to get the best BBQ as it's made every day and when its gone, they close. I've been going there for 20 years now and I can't get enough. The other BBQ 'shacks' in montgomery aren't really worth a damn.
Jubilee Seafood, is delicious. The seafood is fresh, Bud Skinner has made an institution out of it. The prices are high, but the quality is good and its CONSISTENT, something that's a major problem in Montgomery. The trout, tuna, and amberjack (if in season) are always winners. You can't go wrong with oysters on the half shell either! Regardless of what "araess" says, the foods good. It's not fancy in the least bit, but it doesn't try to be. Spend your money their. Since they've opened I've never had a negative experience. Head over to 1048 afterwards...always great live music.
If you want fried chicken and you're willing to drive 20 minutes out of the way go to this small mecca TIN TOP CAFE. The old man who owns the place will always be there to take care of you and make sure it's everything you want it to be and to make sure that your sweet tea never gets low. The vegetables are always fresh and his chicken is unreal. He gets it fresh daily, it's never frozen. It's easily the best fried chicken around (I live behind Martin's restaurant - I used to go every Sunday, but not after discovering Tin Top!). It's a true Alabama experience. Stop at Sikes and Chon's and pick up some boots on your way back to town!
Michael's Table has an excellent brunch, but watch out for sticker shock!! There's no denying the food is delicious and the drinks are good but it's pricey.
Frank Stitt is the reason Alabama is even on the map as far as southern food. He's been awarded a James Beard, and has been nominated multiple times. He has paved the way for fine dining in Bham. Chef Chris Hastings of Hot & Hot studied under Stitt back in the day...
With that being said, HIGHLAND'S is a must for a visit in Bham. The service is excellent, the food is divine, and it's consistently awesome. Stitt often walks back between Chez FonFon (his French bistro next door) overseeing the kitchen. It's pricey but worth it. GO HERE!!
Hot & Hot is great, don't get me wrong, but if I were on my first trip to 'Bama and wanted to experience it all, a visit to any of Frank Stitt's restaurants must be on the agenda.
Highlands put Birmingham on the map in the 'food scene.'
re: JBurnsPatersonIV
Our experience at Jubilee was also very disappointing. I would not recommend it.
re: curej
I've found there are lots of 'institutions' in Montgomery that are always packed, have been around forever, but wouldn't stand up in a big city. It's as though the nostalgia have kept these places alive more than what they actually bring to the table. Jubilee Seafood, Chris's hot dogs, Nancy Pattersons(relocating), the restaurant at The Montgomery Country Club, Sahara(now closed), Martins, Sinclairs, Chappies, and Shashy's all come to mind. They are/were mostly held up by the upper-class blue-blooded good-old-boy types and their families. These restaurants, while not great compared to restaurants in other cities, or even better restaurants in the area, are part of Montgomery's charm and history. As a foodie living here, it isn't much of a difference from researching restaurants in a big city. There are always going to be the places that the mainstream holds in high acclaim, and then there are the places that you have to dig for that are amazing chowhound-worthy spots. Working through all of the posts and trying to make educated guesses about where to go is part of the fun of using this board.
re: araess
I couldn't agree more. It's frustrating to me. I've lived in Europe (Italy) and most recently Charleston, SC - foodie heaven. I've found Montgomery to be very behind the times and not as adventurous as big cities such as SF, NYC, and the like. I've searched high and low in the town and there are a few gems hidden down the 'back roads.' At times its frustrating to me mainly because I can't find the foods I really enjoy (charcuterie in particular...just picked up Michael Ruhlman's book and will start making my own!)I've noticed over the last 20 years that this town seeks consistency more than anything. I believe this is why places like Chris's, Jubilee, and Chappies in particular do so well because forever they've been the same, nothings changed and guests can always feel comfortable and know that what they're getting when they order it. Being in the business here in Montgomery for the past 10 years I've seen what works, what doesn't works, etc. - sometimes it might not be my particular tastes but if that's what customers want, that's what they'll get - of course there are limits! I'm not going to serve canned vegetables, etc. It's the service industry aferall, and it's close to impossible to please everyone, even TK can't do it! It's a fun business, fun culture, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Wanderlust - Enjoy your trip to 'BamerLand - if you would be so king to stop by Boccalone in the Ferry Building and bring me some lardo & salumi it'd be greatly appreciated ;)
re: JBurnsPatersonIV
I wouldn't agree that Jubilee is consistent. The proof lies in the amount of negative reviews and positive reviews it gets. Sometimes you get a good meal there, sometimes you don't- so I can't recommend it. It just so happens every time I've gone in I've gotten a crappy meal. Curej agrees, as do others on sites like urbanspoon. It could be you have gotten lucky and just had a good meal the times you have gone.
As far as Chris's hotdogs is concerned, I think anyone who has been here for more than fifteen years remembers how the special sauce used to be, compared to how it is now. It used to have lots of flavor, be a brighter orange, and really provide a bite to the dog. Now it tastes like sawmill gravy with a drop of red food coloring in it. It's tasteless in my opinion- so I wouldn't say Chris's has remained consistent either.
re: araess
Well its unfortunate that some have bad experiences, whether its McDonalds or The French Laundry - bad experiences happen. I guess I am lucky that I have had positive experiences at Jubilee over the past 20 years and 100s of visits, and its unfortunate that others have had negative experiences because I truly think it's a good restaurant, but everyone has different tastes, expectations, and can have a negative experience.
As far as Chris's...I mean it is what it is...it's Chris's - you pay $4, leave stuffed, and most likely will encounter a stomach ache later. It's not gourmet..it is what it is. As far as their sauce, I can say i've noticed a difference over the past 10 years or so, it's tasted sometimes burnt, but it hasn't tainted my experience...why because I don't expect much out of it but I do love it once every other month.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, they have been invaluable as I continue to plan the trip. With so many interesting choices, I'll have to figure out a way to eat two weeks of meals in only a couple of days! It's great to know that there is real passion for food in the area. I will definitely report back after the trip.
Everybody goes to.....MILO'S

Did you make this trip yet? Can you give us all some feedback on your experiences if/when you do?
From March 2010. I can't believe it's been about a year since I made my trip. I thought I posted a summary, but recently looked for it and realized that it completely slipped my mind. Sorry for the delay, I figure better late than never. Thanks to everyone for your generosity in sharing your information and recommendations.
Highlands Bar and Grill - Oysters, Frito Misto, Chicken Sous Vide – all well executed nothing suprising but good clean flavors and very good service. Seems like a popular after work hangout of professionals in the area. I would definitely make this a regular stop if I lived in the area.
Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Dreamland - ribs had nice char on the outside and were moist but the meat was chewy, not tender. The meat was really grey in color and flavorless other than the sauce. This was just one visit, so might've been an off day for them.
Archibald's - The pulled pork is moist succulent and has a very subtle jus, though a little underseasoned to my tastes. The half rack of ribs was much better than what I had at Dreamland. More tender, but still chewy good char on the outside, I liked the sauce better than Dreamland, but overall just ok.
Waysider - I made a stop at the Waysider for a quick breakfast. This place is old school a real glimpse of traditional breakfasts like a fried egg, country ham with red eye gravy, grits, biscuits and friendly service.
After discovering a love for sweet tea and subsequently overdosing on it, I had to give up on dinner at Hot and Hot.
Saw's BBQ, Homewood - I had the pulled pork and the smoked chicken sandwich with white sauce. I loved the chicken sandwich. Juicy pulled chicken with a nice Alabama style horseradish cream sauce. The pork was my favorite of the three in ham, nice sauce good balance of tenderness and smokey charred exterior.
Bright Star, Bessemer - this place is like walking into a time machine. The service was incredibly friendly and eager to please. Recognizing my interest in the menu, they comped me a seafood gumbo. The place was very busy at lunch. The food is all pre cooked then brought out to the diners, who looked like regulars. I had the fried snapper throats, rice and spinach casserole, sweet corn and a tossed green salad. I could not get over the 70's decore. It looks like none of the furniture has been changed for the entire time they've been open. The snapper throats were fine, obviously fresh and very crispy crunchy exterior, flour based crust. I really liked the sweet corn which tiny little pearls of corn, they must've been boosted with a bit of sugar.
Martin's, Montgomery - I was just too full to do a meat and three. I had the fried chicken which I thought was very good. No fancy seasonings, just very straightforward fried chicken -- juicy and super crispy crunchy exterior that held up really well as you bit into it.
On the way to Atlanta, I stopped at a highway side farm-stand-peach-emporium called Peach Park. They had peach pie, peach ice cream, peach cobbler, and rocking chairs where you could sit and enjoy your peach ice cream topped peach pie and gaze at a peach statue.
Has anyone on this board been to the Tin Top Cafe on Troy Hwy in Grady, AL?
Better places or alternative spots in Troy? Single diner, one night. ISO Dinner and bkfst spots.

BERLIN – Actor Shia LaBeouf hit the Berlin Film Festival in memorable style Sunday, first walking out of a press conference for the film Nymphomaniac Volume I and then wearing a paper bag over his head at the red carpet premiere.
The actor posed for photographers in a stylish tuxedo – and a paper bag with eyeholes and the words I am not famous anymore written across it. LaBeouf has frequently used the statement on his Twitter page.
The unconventional attire came shortly after the star walked out of a press conference with co-stars Uma Thurman and Christian Slater to promote Lars von Trier's film, the first installment of a two-part drama about a woman's sexual life from girlhood to age 50.
A reporter's question as to whether the actors were worried about the film's sex scenes elicited the response: When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much. He then walked out.
LaBeouf's line was borrowed from French soccer player Eric Cantona, who baffled reporters with it in the mid-1990s after his suspension for a flying kick on a heckler.

My back-to-school shopping days are over but it all came back to me when I visited Staples last week. I was there for printer ink but I couldn't resist the four foot stack of 17 cent spiral notebooks and the racks of Disney character folders and the bins of colorful school tools. I didn't need any of it but I want it. . . all of it. . . it's a crazy emotional trigger made worse possibly by the fact that I was a teacher for 10 years.
Then I heard a conversation that reminded me of the real meaning of back-to-school.
"Mom! I NEED this one!"
"That one is too expensive. Get the other one."
"That one doesn't have Transformers on it! And Mrs. Shipley says I need 8 notebooks."
If 88% of consumers who search for local businesses on their mobile device ultimate call or visit that business within 24 hours, I'd want to make sure my business was found. Wouldn't you?
Apparently 25% of small businesses have failed to get the memo, because they have zero presence in Google or Bing local search results!
(Via Infographic Journal)
It took some time but small businesses are finally seeing the power in going mobile. A new infographic from Constant Contact shows that over three-quarters (77%) of small businesses are now using mobile technology, an 11% jump from 2013.
One of the biggest areas of growth is the mobile optimized website. Last year, only 34% of SMBs were mobile ready. This year, it's 60%. And additional 32% say they'll have their site optimized within the next six months.
It's a huge mind-set change and you can see it in these two numbers.
Is your business customer centric?
That's just a buzzwordy way of asking: do you care about providing amazing customer service?
This infographic from Vision Critical should convince you of the benefits–and provide some tips to help you get there.
A psychologist could spend a month explaining why we're attracted to certain types of photos but we haven't got that kind of time. What we do have is a new infographic from Ripen eCommerce that shows us which kinds of Pinterest pins are more likely to succeed.
Before I give away the secrets, let's talk about why Pinterest is an important tool for eCommerce sellers.
The average check-out value of a Pinterest customer is $140 – $180 dollars that's about double Facebook and way higher than Twitter. With more than 2.5 million page views per month, Pinterest is the second highest referral platform after Facebook.

My Journey in Education
In search of Education
I was born in a polygamous marriage, abandoned and rejected at just 18 months, lost my Dad at a very tender age, became a child mother at 19 years, was abducted by rebels at 22 years but all these happenings didn't stop me from pursuing my dream – Education.
Recently I graduated with Masters in Public Administration. My daughter has Masters in Education and my youngest is in Ordinary level this year.
I'm a single mother who is determined to ensure that I take my girls to the highest level of education and I'm also advocating for girls to have second chance in life even though they have made mistakes.
My story:
In Uganda when a girl gets pregnant, it's difficult for the parents and relatives to allow such girls to continue with education. The same happened to me. My own relatives couldn't help me and the only person who was willing to help me then asked me to travel to Northern Uganda in order to join a particular school for my Advanced level. I had to accept because I had no option. Northern Uganda especially Gulu at that time was a hub for the rebels. I left my baby daughter with her dad and travelled to Gulu. All was well but hardly a month the rebels striked our school on 1st June 1987 and I was one of the many girls abducted. Some parents ran after us pleading with the rebels and some were released on the way. Some of us weren't so lucky. After long walks and in the middle of nowhere I said I was thirsty and tired. I was told to sit down but one rebel refused and kept pushing me. Little did I know that if I had sat as I was told, that would have meant the end of my life? I would have been shot and left to rest for good.
When I succeeded to get out of captivity, I had to come back to the city and look for opportunities. There was a reverend sister who liked me so much and helped me with fees through Advanced level. After that I tried a diploma course but couldn't afford paying so I had to leave. After a while, I did some computer training and slowly started progressing. When I got a stable job, I wanted very much then to start a family, unfortunately it didn't work. The only option was to continue with books. I went for a Certificate course, then a diploma, a Bachelors degree and recently graduated with a Masters degree.
In all these struggles, I was paying myself and my two daughters at School. I remember when my daughter was admitted to the University, I was admitted too. My elder brother wouldn't hear of this, he came to warn me that he hoped I would not go asking any of them for assistance for fees. I simply told him to wait for me to ask and then that should be the time for him to complain which I never did.
Life has not been so easy for me but I thank God that sometimes He may change ones direction but never His promises.
In Uganda and I believe everywhere else, many girls suffer because of making mistakes of becoming child mothers. I was lucky to have good friends to stand with me. My desire in life is to give those girls a second chance in life in the same way my brother is giving abandoned children a second chance in life through "Acres of Hope Uganda'. Acres of Hope as the name suggests, should surely become a place where girls and child mothers will in future have hope and a future.
Time and I again I have been telling my daughters that life is not smooth sailing, extra work and focus is needed. In order to succeed, one must remain focused and determined. My daughter is a lecturer in the same University where she studied from. I'm proud to have brought her up well despite my own failures. I will be more proud to see her walking down the aisle when the right man and the right time comes. With God nothing is impossible!
Maya Angelique once said, "You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated"
The two years spent in the University pursuing my Masters was riddled with doubts, Challenges, thoughts of defeats and at one point I felt like giving up the course. However, I started looking at the good side of every situation and did this by viewing my problems as opportunities to success. One can never have the successes without learning from failures. I believe that any experience can be transformed into something of value if done with determination and focus. Everything depends on the way one looks at the things. I want to stress to everyone that what are perceived as stumbling blocks and defeat can become stepping stones to victory if one remains focused and determined.
Remember: In all adversities lie the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing how to win the next time. When it's dark enough one can still see the stars.
What am I saying? Obstacles in life should never hinder us from achieving our dreams. I just did. I hope in future I will be able to mentor girls and change their mentality that a woman's place is in the kitchen only.

You should be very proud of your accomplishments. You are an inspiration to other women and girls.
What an amazing story of perseverance despite all odds. What lucky girls to have you as their mother and mentor. It's obvious that education has provided you many opportunities, and I have a feeling you're not done yet. Chase the stars.
What an inspiration you are!
What an inspiration you are to women and children all over the world! Not only did you overcome huge obstacles, you kept your faith in God strong and kept a very clear focus on what you needed to make a better life for your daughters! Now you're dedicating your life to helping others, the ultimate gift of giving back.
You have a couple of quotes in your story and I love quotes so I want to share one of my favorites with you. I hope you find inspiring. It's by Sharon Salzberg, an American author and Buddhist meditation teacher:
"It doesn't matter for how long the room has been dark; For a day, or a week, or a year, or for ten thousand years. The moment you bring in a candle, the darkness vanishes like it was never there. Similarly, it doesn't matter for how long we are stuck in a sense of our limitations. The moment you decide to break free, nothing will stop you."
You have indeed broke free of the limitations that could have kept you down. Not only have you created the light of your life, I know you will continue to shine your light in the darkness, lighting the path for many others and lifting them to heights they never thought they could reach!
Thank you for who you are and what you do. The world definitely needs more people like you!
"Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach" (Clarissa Pinkola Estes, author and poet)
wow, Beatrice you are such an
wow, Beatrice you are such an inspiration and testimony.
Anyone who will hear your story will definitely not remain the same. I want to encourage you to share your testimony with especially the girls in the community.
I invite you .Lets join hands and change the lives of women and girls in Uganda. I will inbox you later for further details.
Welcome aboard where women are changing lives.
You are an amazing woman
I love your resillience and I THANK YOU FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE TODAY.

Your powerful story
To me, you communicate two really powerful ideas: "Everything depends on the way one looks at the things" and "what are perceived as stumbling blocks and defeat can become stepping stones to victory if one remains focused and determined." Your life is living proof of both. Great job!
I believe you will give many girls and women inspiration to meet their own stumbling blocks and keep going anyway until they can see that those blocks have turned into steps forward. Yours is a powerful story. Thank you for sharing it.

Kind Regards,
You are an amazing person
Hi Keronga,
You are an amazing person and an outstanding role model, not only to your family but to the world, both male and female. It is like God put you on earth and sent you to EARTH SCHOOL to learn certain lessons that seemed like adversity at the time . He sent you here with a plan unknown to you. You had no idea that you were in earth school learning the highest lessons a person can learn. Then you graduated from earth school with your Ph.D. in humanity and now you are applying God's lessons that you learned to the people in your, home, your community and soon the world. You are on a path that could have only been destined by God. Your time is coming BIGTIME. You have so much value. You matter. You are necessary.
Ubuntu(I am who I am because of who we are together),
What is also special about you is that he gave you a great brain. Do you know what I mean? So many are born with a brain that has been harmed or undeveloped because of malnutrition at birth or genetically and so there are limitiations no matter their desire. You are blessed. But you know that already.

I am very proud of you my sister, you are the face of the new African women. Women who are putting all of their focus on educating themselves and their daughters. I am inspired by your resilience and your determination to stand up, and lift yourself to achieve your dream no matter what.
You go girl!!
I admire you
Beatrice - my namesake!, you are a very powerful woman that girls in this generation need to look up to. I am so glad we will be meeting this weekend. You are one of those my girls must hear from!
As you carry on with your dream, I wish you the very best.
Love and respect.
I believe everybody has the potential to live a better life. Given the Opportunity, Education and Motivation ANYONE can become someone admirable. Nobody is a NOBODY, everybody is SOMEBODY.
I am so glad

I want to rub shoulders with you, Beatrice!!!! You are a power!!!!

This is so powerful! Do you
This is so powerful! Do you know the poem OUR DEEPEST FEAR by Marianne Willamson? I'll post my favorite verses below,
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God."
It's almost as if she is speaking directly to a wonderfully inspirational and powerful woman called Beatrice Keronga! Keep being the light that God has made you become.

Asking questions. Seeking solutions. Saving lives
There are so many lessons here, believing in yourself inspire of yourself, loving yourself even when you feel unloved, raising beautiful and successful children even when you were not raised to feel successful and beautiful and finding the courage to overcome even though it looked impossible. Continue your work, you are doing a fantastic job, you are a phenomenal woman.
Life is just for living
thank you for sharing the experience of your life. May you arise with uplifting others lives, may you reach beyond the boundaries of Ugandan with light, and may God bless you to spread love and hope.
God bless you Ma'am, we all honor you and love your spirit and efforts.
I would like to hear more
I would like to hear more about your second daughter.
Blessings to you and your community.
Dear Keronga, I often worry
Dear Keronga,
I often worry about children who are not the first born, especially where there is little or no family or community support.
You mentioned the circumstance and community support surrounding the birth of your first daughter, but very little about the second. I am so glad that she, too, is apparently on a success track.
I do believe that, with "God," nothing is impossible. I also believe that humans contain the physical manifestations of The Sacred Spirit on earth. Without sharing of The sacred Spirit, the earth and all in it die spiritually.
Blessings also to you and your beautiful family.
You are an inspiration!
Hi Keronga,
Thanks for sharing such an inspiring story. God bless you always.

What a story with a beautiful inspiring ending.Thank you for sharing your experience,
i bet you are a real voice of a girl once hurt,a girl once broken but still became victorious.
How so inspiring
I love this, this is expressing a true story of some forgotten African, or even better Ugandan girl child life, i share almost the same story with you Beatrice though in a different direction. I love your courage and determination. True where there is a will there will definitely be a way. Your story should be read by more Ugandan girls who give up quickly after facing similar challenges! Keep the light burning Bea!!!!!!!!!!
