creative and romantic for anniversary dinner
Hi,I am looking for a place like cafe boulud or bouley in NYC. Looking for a romantic place with good,creative menu and great service. I was looking at a few places and they each got some negatve review.
Providence-boring room
sona-not that great
spago-tired dining room
melisse-ok menu
Please help me.
I love the restaurants you mentioned in NYC and I don't think you can find any like it here. Maybe other people can give you some ideas. I am surprise you didn't get any response.
Spago Beverly Hills does not have a tired dining room. It's a beautiful mixed garden-like setting, with a few old world touches perhaps, but extremely comfortable in its seating and ambience. And the waitstaff is disarmingly charming. The food is top notch, a good value and it's very So Cal. What more would you want for romantic?
p.s. I've always heard the Hotel Bel Air is THE most romantic spot to dine, but I've not been there.
re: Silver Lake Guy
agreed about spago. resesrve a table outside on the patio/courtyard and you can enjoy one of the best tasting menu's in a very charming and romantic setting. =)
I always find the patio at Michael's in Santa Monica very romantic. I think the food is consisently good as well.
The Answer is AMBROSIA in SA. Reminds me of Chez Cary(orange), long gone!
Private Rooms, We've been in most of them.
Great food (Exec Chef from 808 , Caesars Palace.
Excellent Service, request AJ or Mercia
If you can't leave LA maybe Oceanfront at Casa del Mar?
Just had a great Dinner at Melisse last week, 4 hrs.
Bouley is probably my favorite restaurant anywhere, and I just don't think there's anything on that level here. But I think that with a little bit of planning, you can have a very special meal. I've had very good luck calling places in advance, telling them what kind of occasion I've got, chatting for a while about how much I love their place and asking them if they can do anything special. Grace treated us so well when my parents visited from out of town for their anniversary. I called, told them it was a special occasion and had some questions about the tasting menu, and they created a wonderful five-course menu that was slightly different from their regular tasting menu (which is fabulous, by the way). And we had amazing service. Grace is a little loud sometimes, but ask for a quieter romantic "special occasion" table and it's a good pick. Sona, which wasn't really one of my favorites, recently won me over when they built a tasting menu for my friend who wanted to pair some very special wines with his meal. The meal and the service were fantastic. I suspect that you could ask any number of the top places in town to do something like that, and you'll be pretty happy. Another thought is Saddle Peak Lodge -- wonderful food, different from anything else around, and a really special setting. Good luck and happy anniversary in advance!
Thank you for all the suggestions. It's funny Ambrosia was mentioned,because we live in OC. I was considering Ambrosia for my birthday,but I read a so so review in one of the papers and chose alex in LV. For good food I travel far. Keep the ideas coming.
Having been to AMBROSIA several times in the last few months I think you will be Amazed at all levels. We have been. The cost of the Remodel was over 20 million and you'll see why once you go.
We happen to love ALEX (Wynn) also and if you like Seafood BARTOLATA is really good.
When we go to PROVIDENCE we always have the CHEF'S TABLE which is hardly boring?
We were at SPAGO 2 weeks ago and the food(tasting menu) is still awesome.
We were at MELISSE last week and the ALA Carte Menu was fantastic!
If you like Authentic Sushi Urasawa is wonderful.

The breakfast is amazing for the price, hotel is very clean and conveniently laid out. Rooms are "roomy" with white linens so you can be sure they are clean. Disposable cups are used in the rooms (always a good sign), and tv was a nice one! The air didn't quite work all the time and key cards didn't work in the extra side doors of the motel, but I don't count that as not likes. They were minor issues. ...

Complementary breakfast was enhanced by a cool automatic pancake maker, good selection of breakfast items. Hotel a bit tricky to find, Its a small jont from the main road. Hotel also adjasont to the freway, so some freway noise can be heard in parts of the hotel. some of the staff was very friendly. overall good experiance. Would stay here again.

Boko Haram is and has long been part of O´s team. He threatened the Nigerian government with loss of support if they aggressively went after BK quite some time ago. Face it, O is on the side of the government of Sudan and won´t lift a finger to save the Christian woman married to an American; won´t go after anyone who killed four Americans in Benghazi, likes the BK butchers and arms the head choppers in Egypt, Libya and Syria as well as the Palestinians.

Not sure why we care so much about those kids in Africa when our government is holding thousands of kids right here in this country and refusing to return them to their parents.

Innovations in Open Government that are Changing DOTPosted byon April 13, 2012 at 4:29 PM EST
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has been committed to advancing the principles of a more open government since Day One of this Administration—by harnessing the skills and talents of the American people, releasing information, establishing greater collaboration among Federal agencies, and improving how efficiently the agency carries out its mission.
The release of version 2.0 of DOT's open government plan is a great opportunity to look at some of the great work that they've done since the last iteration.
NASA's Open Government Plan Features the International Space Apps ChallengePosted byon April 11, 2012 at 4:40 PM EST
This week, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released version 2.0 of our Open Government Plan. We used this milestone to sharpen our focus on initiatives such as creating a new web architecture, employing wider use of Open Source technologies, and increasing opportunities for engaging citizens in NASA's mission. We also developed an online version of our plan that features a directory of more than 100 participatory, collaborative and transparency activities.
Celebrating the Release of Open Government Plans 2.0Posted byon April 9, 2012 at 10:45 AM EST
We've come a long way since the President signed the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government on his first full day in office. One highlight of the Open Government Initiative has been the release of agency Open Government Plans. These plans have served as roadmaps for agencies working to expand opportunities for citizen participation, make data more available and transparent, and increase collaborative decision-making.
As the President has emphasized, open government promotes a range of important goals. The first goal is to increase accountability. As Justice Louis Brandeis stated, "sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants." As government becomes more open, both private and public institutions are more likely to be held accountable. The second goal is to provide people with information that they can readily find and use in their daily lives. Important information is being disclosed to the American public in areas that involve product recalls, infant car seats, automobile safety, health care, energy, nutrition, air pollution, obesity, crime, and much more.
Pioneering Innovation Through Health Data TransparencyPosted byon March 15, 2012 at 5:10 PM EST
As advocates across the country celebrate Sunshine Week, a time to focus on government transparency, the Department of Health and Human Services is proud of its work in spearheading greater data transparency. Signature among our work in this area is the Health Data Initiative (HDI). Founded in early 2010, the HDI is a three-pronged effort to publish brand new HHS data for public access; use tools to that make existing HHS data much more accessible; and energetically market and promote our data to innovators who can creatively use it as raw material to develop applications and services to improve health. Based on the principles of improved access to data from all sectors of health and healthcare, collaboration by a wide array of organizations, and participation by many individuals, HDI is a powerful emerging catalyst for change. Remarkable insights are being gained into some of our most vexing challenges in health care, and new windows of opportunity are opening for an incredible array of data-fueled innovations that embody American ingenuity.Learn more about , Foreign Policy, Technology
Effective Aid Is Transparent and Accountable AidPosted byon March 15, 2012 at 1:03 PM EST
For over five decades, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has saved lives and improved human welfare around the world. As a leader in global development, our Agency has amassed a wealth of knowledge that we believe is important to share publicly. By making our data, programs and evaluations easily accessible, we're helping to create a global commons that grounds development practice in evidence and shares knowledge to inform significantly new approaches in development.
President Obama, Secretary Clinton and I take transparency and accountability in foreign aid seriously, and we're working hard to ensure that we effectively communicate our efforts to the American people, our stakeholders and our partners at home and abroad.
As we celebrate Sunshine Week, here are just a few examples of USAID's commitment to implementing the principles of transparency, participation and collaboration that were outlined in the Administration's Open Government Initiative.
Managing Government Records: The Backbone of Open GovernmentPosted byon March 14, 2012 at 4:30 PM EST
As part of Sunshine Week, I want to take the opportunity to update you on one of the commitments made by the President as part of our Open Government Partnership National Action Plan. On November 28, 2011, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum entitled "Managing Government Records" to begin an Executive Branch-wide effort to reform records management policies and practices. This is the first time since the Truman Administration that this level of White House attention has been focused on the records of our country, and I am taking it very seriously.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?.
Jenny Lawson: Your latest book is called Jeneration X: One Reluctant Adult's Attempt to Unarrest Her Arrested Development; or, Why It's Never Too Late for Her Dumb Ass to Learn Why Froot Loops Are Not for Dinner. The title itself is longer than most chapters in my own book. Did you do this on purpose just to make me feel bad?
Jen Lancaster: Yes.
Lawson: How many angry ferrets could you fight off if you had too?
Lancaster: Trick question--see, I wouldn't fight them off myself. Instead, I'd engage in a social media war with the angry ferrets and I'd mobilize fans to give them bad Yelp reviews and crash their Facebook pages and flood their email server. Then I'd be all, "Well, bless my buttons, I certainly can't control the Internet! But who's angry now, ferrets, huh? WHO'S ANGRY NOW?" (Substitute "angry ferrets" for "Ford dealership who wouldn't give me a refund on a truck with a rolled-back odometer" and that's how I spent one week last fall, after being inspired by one really phenomenal blogger's "display of relevance.") (Thank you--I got my money back!)
Lawson: Same question but with ambivalent ferrets.
Lancaster: I would badger said ferrets until they became angry and then refer them to question number two.
Lawson: You've written more entertaining memoirs than anyone I've ever met and yet you still come up with fascinating new stories. Do you intentionally do dangerously dumb-ass stuff in the hopes that it will create new material? Or is it possible that you're just more fascinating than the average person? If so, how do the rest of us get that life?
Lancaster: I don't like reading the same book in a different package (e.g., "Oh, noes, we maxed our credit card from shopping again!"), which is why I work hard to come up with an entirely new angle in each memoir. Also, when I engage in yearlong self-improvement projects, what I've learned tends to stick and I don't make the same mistakes twice. Basically, I've no choice but to attempt dangerously dumb-ass stuff to create new material. Soon I'll be wrestling gators to produce new stories, and then we'll see how fascinating I am when I have a hook for a hand. Less so, probably.
Lawson: Which toe is your favorite and why?
Lancaster: That's like asking me which of my children or my pets is my favorite! So the answer is whichever toe is my pit bull, Maisy. (Probably the pinky because it's pugnacious and unyielding, exactly like Maisy.)
Lawson: What's one thing you are most proud of writing?
Lancaster: I'm always the most proud of whatever I write next. My passion is coming up with entirely new material. For example, right now I'm working on a magical realism novel that involves mean girls, Whitesnake, and holes in the time/space continuum. (I'm so not kidding about this. Here I Go Again comes out next year.) It's my favorite thing I've ever written…until I start the next manuscript.
Lawson: Your life, home, and family and pets are fascinating and amazing. Why am I never invited over for Christmas?
Lancaster: Consider yourself invited. I hope you like holiday cheer because ever since we moved to the suburbs, the nihilist I married has morphed into Clark W. Griswold. He has a plaid vest that he wears without a hint of irony. It's a little frightening.
Lawson: You come out with great books on such a regular basis. How do you do it? Why do you do it? ("Cash for drugs" is an acceptable answer here.)
Lancaster: Have you ever reported to eight bosses? (True story.) Have you fetched coffee for some asshole with a community college degree who thinks her time's best spent instructing you on proper stapling techniques? (Also true.) Have you ever spent three hours in a pre-meeting meeting where you have to discuss everything that's going to happen in the actual meeting, which is then followed by the postmortem meeting, where you compare and contrast the results of the pre-meeting meeting and the meeting meeting? (Sadly true again.) Have you ever had a conversation where, at the end of the day, you've got to break through the clutter to architect an apples-to-apples, client-centered core competency that's cross-platformed, bleeding edge, and scalable, yet that will help streamline your go-to market strategy without sacrificing synergy or diversity for the win-win? (FML-worthy true.) That is why I do it.
Lawson: You're a blogger and an author. Which is harder and why?
Lancaster: In discussing bloggers in your book, you say, "They know that you're broken, and most of them are, too, so they just nod and make you go take Xanax and go to bed." The thing is? I don't consider myself broken. I consider myself arrogant and narcissistic and self-righteous and I not-so-secretly believe I'm smarter than the average bear…which is likely why I'm never invited to eat unicorn cake at blogging conventions. So I guess being an author is easier. (I do like Xanax, though, if that helps.)
Lawson: Who inspires your writing?
Lancaster: I read everything--blogs, books, magazines, newspapers, zines, ebooks, bulletin boards, etc. No matter the medium, I'm most inspired by two things--a defined voice and a solid story. If you can include both these traits in your work, then I'm a fan, whether you're a New York Times bestseller, a self-publisher, or a LiveJournaler. Good writing is inspiring. Period.
Lawson: What's the one line you won't cross in your writing?
Lancaster: You're never going to see the ladybits v-word in my books. Ever.
Lawson: Have you ever written anything you later regretted?
Lancaster: Not really, no. Sometimes I'll pen things in the heat of the moment, but publishing entails so many rounds of edits that by the time the book's ready to print, I've tweaked the material enough that I'm comfortable with all that's included.
Lawson: On one of your book covers it says you learned Lucky Charms are not for dinner. On another it says you learned that Froot Loops are not for dinner. What exactly do you have against cereal? And will these books all have different covers, like when Reader's Digest does four different covers so you have to collect them all? Also, is it too late for me to do that with my book too, because that's pretty damn brilliant.
Lancaster: Hey, I love artificially sweetened and colored cereal. My lower GI tract is another story. You can only spend so many nights crying over your ring of fire before you learn that you can't eat like a college student anymore.
As for the title change, one of those reflects what I planned to use before I saw my cover and the other came after. I was not about to put out a book where it said Lucky Charms and it showed Froot Loops. I'm still hearing from people about how the socks on Pretty in Plaid are argyle.
Also? If you were to do collector covers, I'd totally buy them all. Actually, I really love this--each one could be a different one of your taxidermied pets. YOU are the brilliant one. Get on that shit.
Lawson: What's the one question I should have asked you?
Lancaster: Tastes great or less filling?
Lawson: Insert that question here.
Lancaster: Neither. I prefer Chardonnay.

Same here. I almost went outside this morning to take pics of our frozen spider webs this morning, too.... but it was negative 6 degrees.... so no go.
I'm glad you were more motivated than I. :-)
Holy Crapoly Batman!
I've never seen a frozen spider web. Never. Is it an internet first? The first pictured frozen spider web on the internet? Probably not. But it would be cool if it was.
I still salute you.

Myrtle Berries
- b
- Bodegadawg Dec 12, 2006 09:56 PM
I have a LOT of myrtle fruits, Myrtus communis. I seem to remember them in France or Italy being used as a jam or jelly. It may have been myrtilles, or blueberries, I'm not sure.
Does anybody have a recipe for a jam, jelly, confiture, confit which uses myrtle berries? Thank you.
re: Louise
Yes! I just discovered Mirto (the liqueur) in Sardinia last summer. Powerful stuff, but tastes a little like cough syrup!
re: nmuss77
I am growing them in Sonoma County, California. The only "trick" I've learned is to give them absolutley sharp drainage.
re: Bodegadawg
Thanks for responding!
I don't know if Myrtle would do to well here in Michigan. We have such lovely weather! Are you growing to sell? because I'd love to buy some!
re: Bodegadawg
May I buy some berries or a tree, I live in Saratoga, Ca . Or where I can order a tree. thanks Jack
I've never seen myrtle made into jelly in Europe... I think they are used more for aromatic purposes: perfume, infusions, liqueur, etc. You can also use other parts of the tree for flavor to roast or smoke meat.
I do know myrtle shows up a lot in literature and is associated with Venus--maybe it's an aphrodisiac...
Hi I live in Mallorca Spain and have huge Myrtle trees full of fruit right now. I am searching for a jam or jelly recipes to use up some of the fruit. This is a great year for it and the trees are at their peak right now.
I have seen jelly in stores in France but never tried it, should have. It is a clear jelly slightly purple, looks great. Jen
I just found a recipe for myrtle berries and am going to try it, Myrtle Jam. Wash and dry 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of myrtle berries. Soak for 12 hours in a container with lemon juice and 800 grams of sugar. Cook with low flame for at least one hour or until it reaches the right consistency. Pour into jars, put lids on and let cool. If you want a thicker jam add pectin.
I will be trying it soon because my berries are plenty and ready to be picked.
Myrtle Jam is great especially for putting on meat. On toast it's ok for a piece or two but it's fairly astringent. Excellent as a liquor or when infused as a tincture/extract with Grapa.
We infuse the berries slightly crushed and allowed to steep overnight then filter.
You could taste some now but best is to allow it to age a couple of months, the longer the better as it ages it melds. Excellent for digestion.
Perhaps later when the berries are ripe to harvest we'll do youtube video of the process both Jam and drink..

Dear members,

No, that means that he is OLD! :mad:
I enjoyed this chapter, but in this manner, we will have all explained next year
To all those who say he gave his eyes to Nagato... Read...
http://www.narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/602/17 <- Not confirmed to be Nagato, but hey it leaves it open to discussion...
this chapter we learned that obito was saved and how he's persuaded into help out madara's plan come to furition. its a chapter to help realize the end game. sure the writer can come out and say why this is the way it is but its full of really detailed drama that'll make sense of the whole situation. this is a great story but all this bashing brings some negativity to the vibe but with that everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I think the reason that Madara got interest in Obito is to the mere fact that he survived the rubble even though his body was badly crushed by the rock. Madara took interest of obito's sharingan capability even though that he did not know its potential..he sense something special on Obitos sharingans ability.. i thinks this was the reason he said something about his miracle survival.
and knowing well the history of uchihas sharingan..madara was able to see the potential/ usefullness of obitos eyes to his plan..
I had a feeling Kishi would give me a boring flashback of something I knew. It was clear as day to theorists that Madara saved Obito and corrupted him for the Moons Eye Plan. Painfully boring, 1/5.
How madara get his sharingan back? madara got his both sharingan when he was reincarnated but itachi not?
POOR OBITO,awsum chapter though,ireally liked it

True as we can see; he can hardly move..however, to 'train' Obito: he would just tell him all the secrets of the past and that of the sharingan's true powers..think about; Madara is damn walking, talking encyclopedia of the secrets of the world.. so really, Obito's 'training' was less of a physical sense and more of him mastering the secrets of the eyes. oh and of course telling him 'the master plan'
How madara get his sharingan back? madara got Both his sharingan when he was reincarnated but itachi not?
Madara gave eyes to nagato bc he had the chakra t use them, nagato activated rinnigan they probably werent on, madara 4 mizukage was him control, obito vs minato, obito half zetsu, madara lived on after his battle but became to old an relied on the gezo so there?

Where do you base that on? And how did kakashi grow so much in height in one year?

I think Madara awakened himself rinnengans by discovering an information over the spiritual mecanisms of this world , when he was between the 2 worlds , after Hashimara's fight , before Zetsu saved him.
Back to the real world ( hell ) , he worked on his eyes all the time , awaking rinnengans.
He learned all rinnengans abilities , and lost his vitality by overusing rinnengans ( like Nagato vs Bee et Naruto ) , his hairs turned white.
He perfectly masters the rinnengans , his plan can begin.
Recover youth , die , be back to life in 20 years when his team collected all the bijuus.All that would be for peace , love .

What if Madara killed Rin in hopes that Obito would join him?! Just a thought!
Interesting chapter.was hoping for more action.obito has half hashiramas artificial body!wow!which could explain how he got so strong in short time? prediction: obito is going to change when he sees/discover rin dead which will definitely unlock his ms(maybe) and hoping this will happen soon.
Yes people, there were answers AND QUESTIONS today! AND IT WILL BE LIKE THAT FOREVER! stop complaining about not knowing everything, enjoy the knowledge that got dropped on your asses this week! some of you are so whiny, its ridiculous.

BSS - Before Series Start
26 Years BSS - Births: Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha.
13 Years BSS - Events: Kakashi (he is 13 years old) is promoted to a Jōnin.
Team Minato destroys the Kannabi Bridge, Third Shinobi World War ends. Minato received his nickname, Leaf's Yellow Flash, during the war and after the war becomes the Fourth Hokage. Obito is crushed by the rocks and thought to be dead.
12 Years BSS - Events: Minato VS Tobi (The Nine-Tails attack).
There is only one year between Obito's "death" and Tobi's attack on the Leaf village.
Not sure why people keep rating these shit chapters 5/5.
These flashbacks only give us minimal new information instead of answers to the plotholes that everyone is waiting for.
Kishi is taking his time and stretching the manga as long as possible, which it's irritating.
Cool things we learned this chapter:
1) Madara may have had some form of eternal life with hashirama's power, but he did not have eternal youth. Also, he was tethered to the Gedo Mazo to stay alive, and could not leave his little fort without dieing.
2) Madara definitely gave his eyes to Nagato, and replaced his left eye with another stolen sharingan
3) Obito's Kamui power activated, he phased through the rock, and fell down to Madara's underground chamber. From there, Madara used Zetsu slime to heal him. (Obito did not immediately become evil and seek out Madara. Madara did not intentionally search for, find and save Obito. It was a chance meeting).
4) Obito is, at least at first, unwilling to help Madara and did want to return to the leaf village (but was unable because he too was limited in range and needed to stay close to the source of the zetsu slime)
New Questions that we have to be answered:
1) How did Madara stay in contact with Nagato, and therefore maintain control over Akatsuki during this time?
2) Would Madara have died if Nagato had summoned the Gedo Mazo statue away from Madara's hideout? Is that why Akatsuki didn't capture any Bijuu for the first few years of its operations, because the statue could not be used to seal the tailed beasts if Madara was attached to it?
2a) Is that what the "Immortal" Madara chose to die, so that Akatsuki could start collecting and sealing the tailed beasts?
2b) Did Nagato know that he was supposed to resurrect Madara at the chosen time? If not, what was Madara's plan to get resurrected?
2c) Was Madara's plan for Nagato to resurrect him, and then steal his old eyes back from Nagato in order to use the final technique? How would an elderly Madara without his EMS/Rinnegan eyes have possibly been able to defeat Nagato and steal the eyes back for himself?
2d) Why would Nagato have ever agreed to resurrect Madara when Nagato's plan (use the tailed beasts as a weapon to end war) didn't require Madara's help?
2e) Was Madara tethered to the Gedo Mazo when Nagato summoned it to fight Danzo/Hanzo? If so, why didn't Madara die then? If not, why did he ever need to be tethered to it?
2f) Why would Nagato agree to use the Gedo Mazo to keep Madara alive artificially? Once Pain was the leader of Akatsuki with his own goals and motivations, why would he choose to keep a weakened, elderly Madara alive?
2g) Why did Pain think that Obito was Madara, if he knew the real Madara was a weak elderly man tied to the Gedo Mazo to keep himself alive? Did Obito just appear one day with the mask on and say "I'm Madara, I got younger!"? Wouldn't Pain have been suspicious about that?
3) Obito seems like he doesn't want to join Madara, and tries to escape. So how does he turn from that into Tobi who is a psychopath
who follows Madara's mission?
4) How was Obito able to leave the chamber eventually, without his Hashirama/Zetsu slime dieing as Madara suggested?
4a) Why didn't Madara untether himself from the Gedo and leave his chamber, if Obito was able to do this supposedly impossible thing?
4b) Is this the origin of Zetsu, the black half stabilizing the white half and allowing it to leave the chamber?
4c) And if so, how is it that white Zetsu is able to separate from the black half without dieing?
So we did learn a few cool new things but on the balance we have a lot more questions that need to be answered, where the answers are not obvious.

Hmm...did Orochimaru borrow them for research? Just throwing that out there.
Eye size stays the same from when you are young to adult.
