Suggestions for developing my vegetable palate
- sheilal Jan 19, 2011 06:48 AM
I dislike most vegetables. Lots of people tell me that at some point in their life, their palate changed and they actually began to like/love vegetables. That never happened to me. My palate did change, but it developed a more deep appreciation and love for all things spicy and rich.
I've grown tired of salads to meet my daily vegetable requirements. Aside from the obvious "salad" veggies (carrots, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, celery), I do eat green beans, black beans, and corn. I really, really want to learn to like vegetables. Can anyone suggest some killer recipes that will assist in my journey??
My Mom was in the same sort of funk. One of the best ways to do many veg is to roast them to bring out their natural sweetness. Roasted veg are a totally different thing, are easy to do and the variety of recipes and combinations is unlimited. Grilling is also high up on my list; in fact, the highest but we have several feet of snow on our deck at the moment.
Maybe start out with roasted carrots - just toss with some olive oil, minced garlic and a few herbs and spread them out on a baking sheet and roast at 400-425 for 20-30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the carrots). Or use whole garlic cloves which are wonderful roasted as well; spread them on bread or use in tons of recipes like roasted garlic mashed potatoes. I often melt butter and maple syrup and brush that on carrots a few times while roasting in the oven. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, beets, fennel, cabbage, parsnips, corn, green beans, asparagus and so on are all wonderful grilled or roasted. Of course you can season them in a multitude of ways!
I grew up hating almost all vegetables. But sometime in my twenties I went to a friend's house and she served broccoli with cheese sauce. Not the healthiest intro to veggies but it worked. So that's one way to try. Second, if you like rich and spicy--not quite sure what that means specifically--start adding vegetables to those dishes so they're combined with flavors you like. A third way is to start roasting vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper in a hot over until they are brown and tender--they become sweet. Fourth, add more vegetables to you salad. Slice raw fennel fine...it tastes like licorice. Do the same for arugula and spinach. Fifth, and one of the easiest, is to throw a handful or two of spinach/arugula into many pasta dishes and soups. It just kind of melts into it without becoming a major flavor. And when all else fails, make minestrone.
re: escondido123
I've tried the roasted cauliflower, but didn't really care for it that much. I can tolerate marinated asparagus that been roasted. I'd really like to steer clear of cheese sauces and alfredo sauces (which I dearly love!) because they seem to negate the healthiness of what I'm trying to consume.
re: sheilal
I just meant the cheese sauce can be a way to introduce you to a flavor you might not like otherwise, so you can then get rid of it once you like it.
re: sheilal
Try creamed cauliflower. If you don't make it too soupy, it's just like mashed potatoes. I assume you like potatoes.
re: jhopp217
Yes or even try cauliflower "risotto" which is also lovely.
re: chefathome
Good call.
re: jhopp217
then each time you make it, cut out a little more cream and cheese until you're just eating steamed veggies. (see my other thought downthread)
re: jhopp217
I love potatoes in any form!
re: jadec
I think it's more of a texture thing for me. I prefer raw (hence the salads), but a lot of vegetables aren't meant to be eaten raw. If they are cooked, I prefer firm (e.g. green beans & corn) or pureed (black beans/pinto beans). Not much in between. For example, I hate raw tomatoes, but adore most things tomato based - salsas (but not too chunky), pasta sauce & bloody marys :)
re: sheilal
Well, then puree veggies and add spices. You can puree things like cauliflower and brocolli to come up with a texture like beans or mashed potatoes ... I assume if you like pureed beans, you like mashed potatoes Then you can spice away the puree to your heart's content.
Microwave stuff so it is al dente. Don't cook things to a mush.
Since it isn't flavor, but texture, this might not do it for you ... but a squirt of lime juice brightens the flavors of most veggies. Seriously .. you don't like tomatoes? Have you tried good hierloom tomatoes.
What about soups? Do you like soups?
Stop buying produce from supermarkets and seek out good farm stands and farmers markets.
re: rworange
I have no farm stand or farmers market withing a 50-60 mile radius. I'm not atypical.
re: c oliver
Looking at sheilal's profile, that area has a good chance of having good produce.
re: c oliver
I am so lucky that I live in an area that has stands all over the place and five very good farmers markets but I have lived in nine different places and even the most in the middle of nowhere place had a produce stand.
re: rworange
The nearest farmers market is about 25 miles away. I don't even know if they're open in the winter months. There are a few garden stands that show up in spring and summer with a few miles of me. I have found that my Publix carries good fruit and what little produce I do buy is always good.
I've never tried hierloom tomatoes, but I've always thought they looked gorgeous. There's a place south of me "Petals from the Past" that specialize in antique vegetables and flowers. They sell seeds and live plants, but I'm not sure they sell produce.
re: sheilal
Sheila, when it re-opens you have to grab some heirloom tomatoes from Pepper Place. Have you tried the tomato stack at hot and hot? When tomatoes are in season it's a thing of wonder. The (truckers) Farmers Market on Finley is open year around I believe but the produce varies by season. You won't find heirloom tomatoes there but you can get some decent veggetables. Plus the taqueria there is good.
My kids fight over brussel sprout chips:
If you can make kids who don't like vegetables fight over one of the least appreciated vegetables, you know it's a keeper!
re: chowser
How much EVOO do you use? I don't want to reduce the benefits of the healthy veggies.
re: sheilal
I'm heavy handed but don't see any health problems w/ using olive oil. But, as sauces and olive oil go, you can start heavier to get used to it and then lighten up over time. Think of them as training wheels!
re: chowser
Training wheels! That's a great way to think about it. Thanks!!
Pick a vegetable of the week and play with your food! Either what looks good...what's on sale....what the guy in the produce department/farmer's market says is good this week...heck, run 'em a-z if you want.
Check with us here, or any good cookbook, or another decent website, and find out about the vegetable you've chosen for this week and different ways to prepare it.
Try it raw, steamed, sauteed, roasted, fried, etc., etc., etc -- see what you like!
They tell us as parents that kids need to try a vegetable 5-7 times before you can accept that they just plain don't like it (as opposed to don't like how it looks/smells/what color it is, etc., etc., etc)...don't be ashamed to use the same scale for yourself.
Asparagus is a good example..it's not so hot fresh, and it's *awful* canned, and only vaguely edible when frozen (to me)...but steam it or roast it on the grill, and just stand back, because it's ALL MINE. (and white asparagus in Germany in the spring? oy.)
re: sunshine842
Yeah ... I'd skip white asparagus in the US for the most part. Not a good intro veggie because so much of it in the US is either bitter or tasteless.
re: sunshine842
I like the vegetable of the week idea, and I'm sure we'd all happily help you with it. Pick one for next week, start a new post, and we'll all brainstorm!
For now, also, I'll throw out a quick zucchini saute, which you can make a little spicy with cayenne or just lots of black pepper, and also sliced carrots sauteed with fresh and pickled ginger. Zucchini is here: http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/08/my-...
I think your problem (or issue) with vegetables is that you eat them raw.
Vegetables -- just about all them -- really blossom with flavor when cooked.
Try roasting, grilling, steaming, boiling, or even stir-frying them.
Let's take brocolli as an example.
Grilling. Simply cut a head of brocolli in half, or in quarters (depending on its size), and leave it on a hot grill until it develops a nice char on the outside and is fork tender.
Steaming. This is my favorite way to enjoy brocolli. It makes the thing really sweet without depriving the vegetable of its natural flavor.
Stir-frying. Use the florets in a quick stir-fry with other veggies like carrots.
re: ipsedixit
What is good raw is asparagus. It has a crisp, nutty flavor.
I'm not a natural veggie eater myself. I've got some standbys though:'
-Turkey/vegetarian chili. I make it with black beans and chickpeas and add whatever veggies seem right at the time (tomatoes, shredded carrots, shredded zucchinis, peppers, etc.) Serve with shredded cheese over brown rice or barley or a sweet potato.
-Soup: I either roast some root vegetables and puree them or combine ground turkey breast, herbs and veggies in a clear broth. The latter approach is a great way to make those health greens like chard and kale more palatable.
-stir fry: my favorite is to pick a good stir fry sauce, and stir fry a bunch of veggies with buckwheat noodles.
-En Papillote (did I spell that right?) - I place slices of potato or zucchini on foil and top with thin-sliced carrots, peppers, mushrooms, whatever. And sometimes a chicken breast. Add grated parm/romano/whatever and herbs and then seal up the foil and bake it.
I've come to rely greatly on those frozen Dorot spices and grated hard cheeses :)
and since Brussels sprouts are such a CH fave:
I can understand your predicament here. I have been a vegetarian now for over 10 years, but when I first became one, I was not a fan of many vegetables. (I'm still not a huge fan of the "typical" vegetarian vegetables like mushrooms, beans, and squash). I also had the same deal with tomatoes and mushy veggies.
One way that I began to like tomatoes was by serving them on something crispy (like a piece of bread). I would cut them very thinly and serve with some cheese (which I LOVE) and maybe some fresh herbs. Now, something that used to make me gag is a staple in my diet.
I agree with putting vegetables in your everyday eats. If you're making pasta, throw some blanched broccoli or green beans in. It not only flavors the vegetables, but it means that you'll have more food and probably eat less of whatever the base food is (mac n cheese, pasta, rice, etc.).
Also, because I too hate the mushy vegetables, I suggest adding vegetables a few minutes later than suggested in a recipe. If you're making a soup, know the cooking time of the vegetables and add them to the pot accordingly (i.e. leafy vegetables at the very end). I make tons of vegetable soups, and I try and add potatoes before the carrots and cabbage at the very end to ensure nothing is too overcooked. Not to shameless self promote, but I have some recipes you could try http://veggieliv.blogspot.com/. Recipes like the kale and barley soup, Greek spinach soup, and Southwestern orzo pasta are unbelievably healthy and also give proper cooking times for crispier vegetables.
Good luck! It's just a matter of trial and error.
When my boys were in grade school, the standard here with most vegetables in the cabbage family (along with spinach and haricots verts) was just one formula: steamed but cooked through, not al dente and not mushy, garlic, salt and pepper, olive oil and plenty of lemon or sometimes mild vinegar. The lemon or vinegar (essential in my case and deliberate) worked like a charm. Now they love vegetables and are open to all kinds, even onions, (except peas). I'm much more creative with cooking different vegetables for them now.
I like almost all veggies, but I don't love cabbage and radishes. I think if you already like those, it's not a taste thing, but maybe a texture. I hated mushroom because they were mushy when I was younger. Then I realized they are a sponge for flavor and I adore them now. I don't love portabellas still, but a friend of mine, grilled them and served them with fresh mozzarella and a balsamic marinated roasted pepper and I couldn't stop eating them.
Perhaps try thinly-sliced rounds of veg (baked) as chips for a lot of crunch. Of course the best are potato but carrot, beet, parsnip, sweet potato and turnip chips can be wonderful.
Roasted kale chips are also yummy.
Finding different ways to prepare vegetables that you already know you like is one way to do it. If you like green beans, try flash-frying them with a little garlic, ginger, and soy and some water chestnuts for texture; or crockpot them with bacon and onion for hours in chicken stock and add cubed potatoes for the last hour. Delicious served with cornbread; a full meal in itself. If you like black beans and corn, try a mixture of beans, corn, diced onion, cubed tomatoes, a little bellpepper and some lime, salt and pepper (minced cilantro if you enjoy that flavor) and use it to stuff into tortillas with a bit of grilled steak or chicken or some cooked prawns. You can make wonderful vegetable soups, clear or creamed, chunky or not; a marvelous way to incorporate veg. deliciously. Try looking at different ethnicities for ways and means to prepare: spinach is delicious just quickly sauteed by itself and dressed with a little butter, salt, and pepper; or you can saute and serve it cold with sesame oil, mirin and sesame seeds; or do a sag paneer; spinach stewed with Indian pot cheese that you can purchase at a good market. Baby carrots, steamed and dressed with curry powder, honey and orange juice are a good bet, and you might also enjoy shredding zucchini with carrots and quickly steaming it, then serving with a little tarragon and olive oil and salt. Cabbage stuffed with meat and rice and vegetables and braised in a sweet/sour tomato sauce is good stuff; you might want to check into something like spanakopita (spinach and feta and onion in layers of phyllo dough) or ratatouille (eggplant, onions, tomatoes, zucchini; herbs and spices, braised and served as a pasta sauce, a side dish, a bruschetta topping...)
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it can be really fun if you don't look at veggies strictly as a side dish, because that can get bo-ring very quickly. They can be used in so many other ways; mac and cheese with steamed broccoli florets mixed in; veggie-loaded chicken pot pie, pasties......
enjoy your vegetable sojourn.......world of good eatin' out there!
Can I recommend a good basic veg book? It is the Williams-Sonoma "New Flavors for Vegetables" and includes yummy and very simple recipes such as:
- Fava Bean Saute with Marjoram and Feta
- Marinated Grilled Baby Leeks
- Sauteed English Peas with Garlic and Sesame
- Steamed New Potatoes with Chive Oil
- Grilled Sweet Corn with Maple Cayenne Butter
- Spicy Cucumber Salad with Roasted Peanuts
- Roasted Beets with Orange and Herbed Goat Cheese
- Shell Beans with Butternut Squash, Bacon and Sage
- Braised Mustard Greens with Pancetta and Lemon
- Parsnips and Sweet Potatoes with Hazelnuts and Brown Butter
re: chefathome
Wow. I may need to go hunt that down for the spicy cucumber salad with peanuts alone!
re: katecm
It is worth it but what the heck - I'll post this recipe, anyway!
Spicy Cucumber Salad with Roasted Peanuts
1/3 c rice vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
sea salt, freshly-ground black pepper
1 English cuke
1/4 thinly-sliced red onion
1 thinly-sliced jalapeno
1/4 bunch fresh cilantro (can obviously be omitted for non-cilantro lovers)
2 tbsp roasted peanuts
Combine sugar, vinegar, S and P in small pan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Dissolve sugar. Let cool completely.
Thinly slice cukes lengthwise with a peeler (recipe doesn't say that but to me the ribbons are prettier) and place in bowl with onion and chile. Pour over vinegar mixture. Let stand at least 30 min. at room temp.
Coarsely chop cilantro and peanuts and stir into salad at the last minute.
re: chefathome
How wonderful! Thank you so much! This will definitely be my salad next time I do Thai. It looks great!
re: katecm
You're welcome! It's so simple but addictive; cukes really take to Thai flavours, that is for sure...
re: chefathome
I made this Sunday to go along with Bon Appetit's amazing Thai noodles with ground chicken. I wanted extra salad for lunches, so made three cucumbers worth, and we ate it all. All of it. Two of us. It's awesome. So good that I made another helping of it last night for dinner. I'm addicted. Salty and sweet and spicy and refreshing. SO GOOD. Thank you!
re: katecm
How great to hear! Another addict. I'm SO glad you are happy with it. I'm also glad that the two of you were able to eat three cukes, just like my husband and I. Quite easily! :-D Heck, I bet I could eat three myself!
re: katecm
katecm, can you point me in the direction of the Bon Appetit Thai noodle dish? I looked on epi, but there are a lot of options with those search terms. And the cucumber salad sounds great -- thanks for posting, chefathome.
re: mebby
Oh, they made it hard to find, didn't they? It only came up with I Googled, and clearly it's from someone typing it in. I wonder why it wasn't automatically inputted. This was from a reader request. maybe those don't get posted? Anyway, here it is:
re: katecm
Thank you for taking the time to find that! It looks delicious and I think I'll be replicating your Thai noodle and cucumber salad dinner quite soon.
Another thought -- a lot of us who have kids end up pureeing lots of veggies into other things...carrot cake is an obvious one, but I used to put zucchini in my pasta sauce...add pureed spinach to the ricotta in lasagna.
Sound rather primitive, but perhaps if you started doing things like that (adding pureed cauliflower to mashed potatoes springs to mind, too)...you could slowly increase the ratio of pureed veg to help yourself adjust to the flavor.
Then there are things like moussaka and eggplant parmagian...still veggies, but all dolled up so they don't taste like veggies.
Another way of making veg more exciting is to use lots of fresh herbs. If you are able to grow them on your own (inside or out) it is really a lot of fun and anything you grow yourself just tastes better, anyway.
i feel your pain. as a vegetarian, it's been even more of a problem. i never outgrew my childhood veggie-related pickiness. but i've made it work, and now at least half of what i consume in the day are veggies. here are a few suggestions.
1) i LOVE potatoes. so that was my jumping off point. i toss russet potato wedges (or fingerlings, baby potatoes, cubed reds, etc.) with carrot rounds, onion wedges, and a few cloves of garlic, then toss with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with s+p and a little cayenne. roast for 30 minutes, tossing a few times. toward the end, i'll add in other quick-cooking veggies like green beans, broccoli, etc. these spicy veggies are YUMMY!
2) we never ate greens growing up, and i've had an aversion to them for years. recently, i bought a bag of frozen spinach from whole foods and started making a spinach rice that i will sometimes eat every day. it's so addictive. i saute onion, garlic, and rice in a drop of olive oil until the rice is toasted. add s+p, and sometimes chopped herbs or chili flakes. then i pour in some veggie stock (or chicken stock would work) and simmer for 10 minutes. then add a handful of spinach and let the rice finish cooking. top with parmesan.
this would work in lots of ways though. greens are easy to put into other dishes. i personally don't taste them at all unless they make up the majority of the dish. try adding wilted greens to your grains (pasta, quinoa, couscous, rice, etc.) or into baked dishes (stuffed meats, lasagna, casseroles, etc.).
3) these are like crack, seriously: blanche trimmed green beans, then immediately cool in ice water. heat some oil in a skillet and plenty of sliced garlic. add green beans to skillet. then add this sauce: 2 parts soy sauce, 1 part oil of choice (sesame, peanut, olive), a nice scoop of brown sugar, and a healthy squirt of chili-garlic sauce. mix well with fork or whisk. dump sauce onto green beans in skillet and toss constantly. if green beans are still crispy, these are the TASTIEST things i've ever had. in my family, we even serve these at thanksgiving and xmas dinner. they've become a modern favorite, eaten with anything from pasta to filet mignon to salmon.
4) try adding chopped veggies to wraps or pita. if you chop them small enough, and fill the wrap up with your "good" veggies (carrots, cabbage, lettuce, etc.), you will be slowly introducing them into your diet. add a good spread like hummus, mashed beans, or even some buttermilk dressing, and there you go.
5) the easiest way for me to get new veggies in was to do them in veggie soups. for instance, i HATE zucchini and always have. and i still do. but if i add it into a colorful veggie soup, it takes on the flavors of my yummy broth and i can't tell it's there. my fave soup veggies are onions, carrots, potatoes, celery, chopped green beans, zucchini, spinach, cauliflower, and peas or corn. i saute them in a drop of olive oil until fragrant and softened, with whatever grain i like (small pasta or rice), then add broth. you can add some canned or fresh chopped tomatoes or tomato paste here too if you want, as well as a can of white or garbanzo beans. just simmer until veggies are cooked through and serve with crusty bread.
lastly, just a note--my nutritionist always told me it didn't matter where i got my produce variety from. i mean in terms of fruits vs. veggies. as long as i'm eating a variety of colors, it doesn't matter if i eat the same ones every day, or whether they're fruits or veggies. so i get my reds from tomato sauces, apples, berries; oranges from tangelos and carrots; yellows from bell peppers; greens from spinach, peas, broccoli, green beans, etc. i don't eat more than 6 or 7 veggies on a regular basis, but dress and prepare them differently and i haven't gotten tired of any of them yet.
I too didn't like many vegetables growing up, but I suspect it was partly because my mother didn't have much access to good produce; she bought alot of canned vegs (think square carrot/pea mixes) and she didn't flavor them at all. For a while, in my mid-twenties I was a vegetarian but didn't cook too much at the time and eventually went back to eating everything.
In the last 5 years, I've eaten more vegetables than ever before, and for myself, the easier the prep/healthier, the better. I roast these veggies on a regular basis, depending on what is seasonal and available at my farmers market: cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, butternut squash, zucchini, brussels sprouts, green beans and carrots. I keep the flavorings simple (olive oil or butter, a little kosher salt, and an herb). I also make alot of spinach, chard and baby bok choy when I have the time/energy (requires more prep). The best thing I do is make a very simple dipping sauce that goes with almost everything, and not just vegetables, it's good with pork and fish. I always have a container in the fridge.
Lemon Dill Sauce
3 tablespoon mayo (I use nonfat)
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
Blend all the ingredients. Adjust flavors as desired.
I am constantly on the hunt for new recipes and ways to eat my veggies. I have way too many recipes to cook in my lifetime but I'm determined to keey trying new ones as much as possible. Last week I made a cauliflower recipe (with Dijon mustard and breadcrumbs) I found here on Chowhound. You might want to look at some old threads, not just about vegetables but other meals as well (holidays, special occasions etc) and see if anything appeals to you. Also try searcing epicurious.com as that is a huge resource for recipes.
Good luck!
re: Heatherb
Spicy and rich--I'm thinking ratatouille. I learned to make it with the recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, which is a big complicated PITA, but comes out delicious.
Eggplant caviar? Baba ganoush?
Just streight baked sweet potatoes or delicata squash with a little butter or yogurt--very delicious.
I second the idea of curries--and a lot of them take off from potatoes--aloo gobi is cauliflower and potato, Aloo matar is potato and pea curry
oh and try turnovers--spinach and cheese ravioli, spring rolls, samosas filled with curried peas and potatoes.
Andf how do you feel about pickles, sauerkraut, kimchee, etc? These count.
re: femmevox
Ratatouille doesn't have to be hard, or a pita.
For a really quick version, slice the eggplant and zucchini/courgettes and tomatoes.
Stack 'em like lasagna in a baking pan, drizzling each later with olive oil, sprinkling with salt and pepper, and laying a fresh basil leaf or two on each layer.
Bake at 375 for 45 minutes -- cut into squares and enjoy.
do you like frittatas or quiches (crustless or not)? i do any number of variations, often using almond milk. start with onions and garlic and build from there....
broccoli, mushroom, and parmesan, and nutmeg (dash)
eggplant, tomato, zucchini, basil, oregano, rosemary, goat or feta cheese
spinach, mushroom, tomato, gruyere
add them to chili
add them to meatloaf - spinach, eggplant, mushrooms (personal fave addition)
add them to burrito or taco or enchilada fillings (i do chicken, onion, green chiles and shredded carrot enchiladas with my homemade sauce)
zucchini muffins or pancakes
do potato latkes but do a mix of zucchini, carrots, onion, sweet potato and regular potato
make a bed of onions, fennel, asparagus, carrots, sliced brussels, herbs, etc. and roast a chicken or meat on top. the juices will nourish the veggies.
...of course, i suggest these as an ardent veggie lover... sorry if none sound palatable!
My family is from the south, I grew up eating veggies but I didn't love some varieties until later in life (and some, I still don't like). One thing I wouldn't eat as a child was tomatoes, I liked ketchup and tomato sauce but didn't like the texture of tomatoes by the same token, I'd load my collards or peas with raw onions and hot pepper vinegar at 5 years old. I agree with many of the other posters here: try making the veggies in different ways; think of it as an episode of "Chopped" and you're given a veggie to make something with. Let your imagination be your guide.
Once I started gardening, I found I really liked more veggies than I thought and started thinking of what kind of out of the ordinary veggie I could add every year and what I could do with it. Nothing tastes as good as something you planted with your own hands and picked at the peak of freshness. One thing I now love is tomatoes...a very simple way to make them is to heat a skillet with a bit of olive oil; cut them in about 1/2 inch slices....quickly sear them on both sides, seasoned with your favorite blends (I love Mrs. Dash line of blends as I'm trying to lower my salt intake, try the southwestern blend since you like spice) serve on a plate with the residual warm oil drizzled over the top. Sometimes I'll add a sprinkle of my favorite cheese. You can do this with any tomato: cherry, roma, etc. Since you like potatoes, try making diced zucchini and/or yellow squash with onions. Dice the veggies and add to a skillet over medium low heat with a little oil or gild the lily and cook it in bacon grease, until they cook down and are caramelized, stirring occasionally. You'll want to eat the whole pan!
If you like pickles, try quick pickling some veggies. Recently, I made both carrot w/ dill and garlic green bean pickles as part of a veg tray. It's as easy as heating up some vinegar, water, salt, a bit of sugar, and herbs & spices til boiling and pouring over the veggies in a jar or other container. Refrigerate 24 hours; these are addicting and I don't like regular pickles at all. This can be done with mostly any veggie, I've done it with cherry tomatoes also. Another thing I did is make a hot chow chow out of my bumper crop of squash and zucchini to which I added onions, carrots, cabbage, shredded broccoli, etc. Fabulous on hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled meats, in a veg wrap, etc.
I would start with adding veggies to other foods that you already love. Add some chopped and pan roasted zuchinni to pasta dishes. My mom actually used to grate it and put it in all kinds of stuff when we were kids. Chopped frozen spinace can also be added to all sort of things from baked ziti to hummus to mashed potatoes etc. Chop up some fresh baby spinach and put it on top of home made pizza. I weat it developed a nuttiness that's akin to bacon
I ador veggie stir fry. Make some spicy fajitas with anything you have in your fridge.
Ina Garten has a recipe for roasted broccili that is to DYE for.
This being said, I grew up in California wans was raised by hippies so veggie tales were the largest portion or our diet.
you say you like spicy things...how about veggies - cooked to texture you like - in a rich, spicy sauce, like gado-gado or thai peanut sauce?
I find that I need to have a richer, heavier sauce in the winter as a veggie. Don't worry too much about oil as long it's not ridiculous amount.
Personally, I like spicy dishes with veggies that are cooked through- like African peanut stew, Jamaican rice and peas. Don't know if you like sound of those, if you do, I can post you links/recipes..
Also, if you can get access, good fresh produce can help a long way toward liking veggies...
One of Madhur Jaffrey's cookbooks, I think it is "Invitation to Indian Cooking" has a fantastic braised cauliflower recipe that just sings! I was so surprised by it that I rely on it often as a side dish for plain roasted chicken or pork (most meals I am not up for dealing with more than one "recipe").
I also love Chinese stir fries that are heavy on the vegetables (Yu Hsiang eggplant, dry-fried string beans)..
I always used to just boil peas and put butter on them, until I discovered the Italian preparation of adding sauteed onion/shallot and/or pancetta/prosciutto. Much yummier!
I think the key is boosting the tastiness with props like spices, other strong flavors like garlic, as well as cheese and meats as condiments to start out with if you are not a committed vegetarian. As you say: "spicy and rich"… which can include vegetables!
You can also make nice frittatas with more vegetable than egg: really a nice way to transform spinach or zucchini (grated, salted, and wrung out of moisture).
My SIL makes a killer artichoke lasagne.
I have a husband while growing up he never had a fresh vegetable except iceberg lettuce. HIs single mom, was on a budget and they ate canned veggies. I'm not knocking it, because my parents would sometimes give us canned veggies too. But we also had a garden and that's where I learned about really good green veggies,potatoes, fresh corn and green beans.
I didn't approach his dislike with any one particular method. I cooked them the way I knew how and used many recipes. Gratines are wonderful and not that I say bake them all, its one way. You'll probably do best experimenting. Some people love roasted brocolli, but there's so many ways, so many drizzles to drizzles, so many flavors, herbs and garlic!! Cabbage was the one thing I surprised him with, he really disliked it. I cook cabbage so many ways, stir fried, stewed (so good!) and raw, in tacos. Do as I do, people post recipes and techniques here on chowhound all the time, they're amazing! Use soy sauce, and ponzu or bacon fat, onions, garlic, and seasonings.mmmm think I'll make some cabbage for tonight....pomegranate juice reduced is a wonderful thing on roasted brussel sprouts-like balsamic. Mix the veggy side dish and use different potatoes, like the yukon golds- wonderfully creamy. Oh and before I forget, squash. There is a world of squash. Simple way for patty pans, steam them and lightly butter, top with buttered bread crumbs. Grill asaparagus with lemon and garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Eggplant. there's one for you! Really interesting you can handle it like a protein. I make fresh green beans all the time, and my kids just beg for the recipe Saute fresh spinach with olive oil, garlic and lemon juice, be sure to get a lot of spinach! You'll love this one.
Good luck I hope this gives you some ideas...

In the early 1930's in a small alcove at City College in New York a group of young, passionate, and politically radical students argued for hours about the finer points of Marxist doctrine, the true nature of socialism, and whether or not Stalin or Trotsky was the true heir to Lenin. These young intellectuals went on to write for and found some of the most well known political and literary journals of the 20th century such as The Masses, Politics, Partisan Review, Encounter, Commentary, Dissent and The Public Interest. Figures such as Daniel Bell, Nathan Glazer, Sidney Hook, Susan Sontag, Dwight MacDonald, and Seymour Lipset penned some of the most important books of social science in the mid-twentieth century. They believed, above all else, in the importance of argument and the power of the pen. They were a vibrant group of engaged political thinkers and writers, but most importantly they were public intellectuals committed to addressing the most important political, social and cultural questions of the day.
Here, with helpful head notes and a comprehensive introduction by Neil Jumonville, The New York Intellectuals Reader brings the work of these thinkers back into conversation.

view more less of this review
Zhukov Dance Theatre is turning out to be the Apple of local contemporary dance. Last year's 1.0 set the bar high. Product 2.0 cleared it like child's play.
Two distinct pieces, both world premieres. Pioneer Plaques (with narrative passages from Stephen Hawking) explored the fate of the human race. Stark staging, with sound to match, contrasted with lush, emotionally charged dancing. Innovative use of video and the full depth of the YBCA stage.
Caught In The Square actually started during intermission with a DJ onstage spinning a chill out groove. Don't get too cozy, though...this piece explores the origins of fear. Four colorful characters (including Katie Scherman, the only dancer from Product 1.0) burst in like a bad dream. Just like the characters from your favorite anxiety dream, they may switch places, but the end result is always the same...you're frightened and confused.
If the evening's themes seem too weighty with macro and micro angst, don't worry. Both ultimately result in the same Lady Gaga-esque conclusion...just dance and it will be all right.
Total time (w/intermission) is 2:15. Give yourself extra time to get there on Sat. night--looked like there was going to be some kind of festival in the park and access to YBCA could be limited.

I thought the duration for the performance was much too long. The first half of the performance was 1 hour with no break and the second piece was another 45 mins. The choreography strategies seem to be repetitive after some time and my interest...continued

Great show...talented dancers...what else can you ask for.
Quotes & Highlights
"In a single evening, Zhukov Dance Theatre established itself as one of the most promising presences of the Bay Area dance scene." —San Francisco Chronicle
An international cast of dancers will perform world premiers by Artistic Director, Yuri Zhukov and guest choreographer, Hlin Diego.
Yuri Zhukov's new work, Pioneer Plaques 2009, was inspired by the 1972 and 1973 spacecraft launches of Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11, respectively. The two spacecrafts were the first to leave the solar system. On board each craft was an engraved plaque depicting the elements of our civilization.
Hlin Diego's work, Caught in the Square, will focus on fear, its origins, progressions and outcomes. Hlin says, "For this project, I will depend a lot on the dancers. I want to discover their personalities, their stories. My main focus will be a creation that delivers their unique talents." Hlin is an internationally acclaimed dancer, who has worked and created pieces with such outstanding masters of modern dance as Mats Ek, Wim Vanderkeybus and Jahan Inger among others.

Is the God of the Old Testament…?
If you are into trash talking, you may want to check out my recently published article,
" 'I Will Strike You down and Cut off Your Head' (1 Samuel 17:42) Trash Talking, Derogatory Rhetoric, and Psychological Warfare in Ancient Israel."
It just appeared in a collection of essays entitled,
Warfare, Ritual, and Symbol in Biblical and Modern Contexts, edited by Brad Kelle, Frank Ames and Jacob Wright, from SBL (June, 2014)
Who trash talks in the Bible? David, Goliath, Elijah, Jezebel, Jehu, the Rabshakeh, and even Yahweh himself. David is the one who promises to "cut off" the head of his opponent Goliath from the title.
So, is it OK, or even good to trash talk? Do you trash talk? Should we trash talk today?
I also have a series of nine blogs about OT trash talking (click here).
I begin with Shakespeare's Henry V, then move quickly to John Cleese's French knight in The Holy Grail (how often do you encounter Monty Python in academic works?) before working through examples in literature of the ancient Near East and the Bible.
I really like some of the section titles,
1) Introduction
2) Insults, Boasts and Predictions
3) Trash-Talk Research
4) Bulls and Birds, Falcons and Foxes: Trash Talking in the ANE
5) Flailing Flesh and Smoldering Stumps: Trash Talking in the Hebrew Bible
6) Canine Consumption: Elijah, Jezebel, Jehu, and Others
7) Eating Dung and Drinking Urine: The Rabshaheh, Hezekiah, and YHWH
8) Lions, Bears, and Dogs: David and the Philistine
9) Biomorphic and Zoomorphic, Scatological and Theological
I first gave an earlier draft of this in Oxford in July 2008, but many of the scholars weren't familiar with the term "trash talking", instead they spoke of "sledging" which is apparently what taunt speech is often called in cricket.
Other contributors to the volume include the three editors, as well as,
Saul M. Olyan
Nathaniel B Levtow
Thomas Römer
Kelly J. Murphy
Deborah O'Daniel Cantrell
Rüdiger Schmitt
Mark S. Smith
Susan Niditch
Jason A. Riley
T. M. Lemos
Where else do we find trash talking in the Bible?
Just read through your nine blogs on trash talking in the Old Testament! Although I do not engage in that myself (not out loud anyhow!), I have to be honest and say your take on them brought many smiles to my face and a couple LOLs! I have noticed these passages before but I will read them in a new light when I come across them again and will pay closer attention to all that is going on!

November 27, 2014
Posted Tuesday, August 14, 2012 --- 3:20 p.m.
ONALASKA, Wis. (AP) -- A 20-year-old Viroqua man is charged with reckless endangerment after he was found passed out with a 1-year-old child in a car.
Police say Cody Onshus had been smoking the prescription painkiller oxycodone.
Another motorist noticed the driver and a front-seat passenger apparently asleep in the car at a stop sign in Onalaska Friday. The woman reached in to turn off the ignition and picked up the child.
The La Crosse Tribune (http://bit.ly/N0RAzv) reports Onshus wasn't breathing and had turned blue. He and the passenger were taken to a hospital.
Prosecutors charged Onshus in La Crosse County with second-degree reckless endangerment and first-offense operating while intoxicated with a minor in the vehicle. He was released on a signature bond.
Police say the child was turned over to Child Protective Services.

PLAYERS: Matt Kenseth
Matt Kenseth has 13 starts at the Kansas Speedway, but no victories to his credit so far. He has been able to earn a pole, 4 top 5s, and 7 top 10 finishes in those 13 starts. He finished fourth one year ago and again mirrored that in the spring at this race. He sits 11th in points and needs a strong run to continue a mark up the Chase ladder. Team: No. 17 Zest Ford Fusion Crew Chief: Jimmy Fennig Chassis: Primary: RK-826 (brand new chassis) Matt Kenseth on racing at Kansas Speedway: "They did a really nice job with the repave at Kansas Speedway. They put a little bit more banking in it and the track was really smooth when we went out there for our test. It reminded me a lot of Las Vegas after they changed that track. I'm not sure if they did or not, but it seems like they narrowed up the groove a lot, especially in Turn 1. As much as they have been dragging tires and getting everyone out on the track at Kansas, I think it will be good for this weekend's racing." Crew chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Kansas Speedway: "We're bringing a brand new car with us this weekend to Kansas. We participated in a tire test on this new surface, but we also have two extra days on track this week to get ready for this weekend. We have a few ideas that we're going to try and see what ends up being the best to put into our car for this weekend. It's a whole different track now but I have a feeling that we'll see the cars start out slow, but as more rubber builds into the track, the faster they'll go and more grip they'll have." -Kenseth has an average starting position of 13.8 and an average finishing position of 16.9 at Kansas -Kenseth has achieved one pole, four top-five and seven top-10 finishes at Kansas in the Cup series -Kenseth has completed 3,205 of 3,419 (93.7 percent) laps at Kansas and led for a total of 238 laps - This weekend at Kansas, Kenseth will pilot the No. 17 Zest Ford Fusion - Entering this weekend, Kenseth is currently 11th in the NSCS Chase driver point standings

"Las Aparicio" recap: Episodes 58-60
Over at the Bad Place, Julia is asking Armando whether this dirty guilt is how he always felt after sleeping around on her.
Julia: I guess it was true when you told me that you couldn't control yourself.
Sigh. I would like to buy a first class, one-way ticket out of this storyline. Who's with me?
Armando says that the only thing that can't be controlled between them is their Feeeelings. Julia insists she's with Mariana and that she can't do this to her.
Um, a little late for that, Julia.
But back to the feelings. Does Julia love Mariana more? Is he just a piece of meat to her? Does she just want him for his buttcrack?
Armando, what are you doing trying to get Julia to give clear answers? Have you met her? Julia doesn't know. She doesn't know what she feels. She's … what's that word again? Oh, yes. Confused.
Armando: Are you going to tell her what happened between us?
She's not sure. She first has to figure out what's going on with her and Armando.
Over at Casa Wilson Torres, Mariana and Hernan are still talking about being misfits which leads Mariana to wonder if there's a place where misfits like them fit in. Hernan tells her to write the word "misfit" on a post-it note.
It turns out that two of them have the almost the exact same handwriting. How cute!
And so we end with a happy Mariana, who doesn't yet know that her bff-slash-love just spent the day rubbing uglies with whats-his-face. Oh, blissful ignorance.
It's going to be a long, painful ride to Happily Ever After. But we'll make it.
I think.

Bute Park & Arboretum
Contact Details
Bute Park & Arboretum is an extensive area of mature parkland easily accessible from the city centre. Flanked by the River Taff, Sophia Gardens, Pontcanna Fields and Cardiff Castle, Bute Park is the "green heart" of Cardiff full of historic and wildlife interest. At 56 hectares (equivalent to 75 football pitches), it is one of the largest urban parks in Wales and comprises a broad mix of historic landscape, urban woodland, sports pitches, arboretum, horticultural features and river corridor.
Few cities have such a spacious green area in the heart of their city. An internationally-significant grade-1 listed historic landscape, Bute Park is on Cadw's Register of Landscapes.
The laying out of parts of what is now Bute Park as a private pleasure garden for the Bute Family by Andrew Pettigrew between 1873 and 1903 is the only known example of a designed layout by this highly respected, 19th century gardener and horticulturist. In 1947, the fifth Marquess of Bute presented the park to the people of Cardiff, and it is now managed on behalf of the people by the Council.
The park contains a wealth of historic interest dating back to Roman and medieval times. Cardiff Castle, the famous Animal Wall, the Gorsedd Stones and the Blackfriars site are just a sample of the park's rich history. The Blackfriars site dates from the 12th century and is deemed to be the second most important friary site in Wales.
An interesting mix of rare and ornamental trees have been planted since 1947 to compliment some excellent specimens that formed part of the original park design. The park itself boasts over 2000 trees, including some "Champion Trees" known to be the biggest examples of their species anywhere in the UK. As well as trees, the park is home to plenty of wildlife and visitors may see all three species of woodpecker, jays, tree creepers, otters, leaping salmon, waders, herons, damselflies and a whole host of fungi varieties on a trip through the park.
For somewhere to relax and enjoy the outdoors, the Summerhouse is a great choice. Located opposite the Millennium Footbridge across from Sophia Gardens, the Café serves a range of homemade light meals and snacks, using local and fair trade produce. High quality coffee and speciality teas are also available. Situated at the top of the impressive herbaceous border with stunning floral displays and tree specimens in its vicinity it is easy to see why this is such a popular part of the park. The Summerhouse is dog-friendly and offers free WiFi to its customers. Disabled toilets are available. The Summerhouse is open from 8:00am 363 days a year and closes before dusk.
Alternatively, there is the Secret Garden Café situated 10 mins north of the Summerhouse. This is another outdoor eatery offering high quality food and drinks, located behind a garden wall with beautiful climbing roses and shrub border. The café is adjacent to the Bute Park Education Centre. Toilets (including disabled and baby change) and bike stands are provided and there are a number of picnic benches in this area of the park. The Secret Garden Café is open from 8:00 am 363 days a year and closes before dusk.
The Bute Park Education Centre is open to the public on weekend days (see signs on site for exact times) and is a venue where families can learn about the park's rich heritage and wildlife. Various craft activities are offered and trails and maps will help you explore the best the park has to offer. Free WiFi and toilets (inc disabled and baby change) are available at the site. The Education Centre is available to hire, please telephone 02920 872730 or visit the website www.cardiff.gov.uk/butepark for further information.
April 2012 sees the opening of Pettigrew Tea Rooms - a vintage style tea room located at the south of the park in the handsome West Lodge Building on Castle Street. Inside you can relax and indulge in the pleasure of taking tea in elegant surroundings, or if you prefer, sit outside on the terrace area. A small gift shop is also featured in the building. Bike stands and public toilets (including disabled and baby change) are available.
Many large cultural events are organised in the park, taking advantage of the park's excellent setting and accessibility. These include the annual Cardiff RHS show, Cardiff Mardi Gras and the firework display Sparks in the Park. A series of smaller family and community events and activities are also laid on by the Parks & Sport Department, details of which can be found on the Bute Park website www.cardiff.gov.uk/butepark
More facilities are due to open within the park as part of the ongoing Bute Park Restoration Project and information will be updated accordingly.

Turkeys were never meant to trod where cattle hoofs tromp. And that fleshy wattle growing from its throat ain't no set of horns. That's why turkey burgers don't have steer power: They often lack juice and richness, and they crumble like parched bran muffins under stress. Here the burgers are juicy and rich, and they stick together like their beefy counterparts. Pesto topping and a whole-wheat muffin don't hurt any, either. It's enough to make one utter an aria of rapid gobbles.

Coyote: A Novel of Interstellar Exploration (original 2002; edition 2002)
by Allen Steele
Work details
Coyote by Allen Steele (2002)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
386 pages Science fiction. America has been taken over by a religious right wing oppressive government.This government has built Earth's 1st space ship capable of reaching a worlds that humans can live on. This is how the book opens up. The next 350 pages tell a gripping story of hijacking and exploration. Allen Steele writes one heck of a yarn. This book kept me involved from the 1st to the last page.A complete story in and of its self , this book is the 1st of 3 books that explore the ideas of Freedom , revolution, and colonization.
In a repressive America, beggared by their despotic dream to plant the seeds of zealotry on a new world, a group of dissident intellectuals dream a dream of their own: to steal the colony ship and start the new world themselves, even though none of them have been trained for the task.
That's how this story begins, the first in this series of connected short stories. In the ensuing stories, we journey across the stars with the escaping colonists and then live with them throughout the first few years of life on their new planetary home, dubbed _Coyote_.
It's a good story with some interesting developments but it never really grabbed me. I think the structure of serial short stories prevents it from having a developmental story arc that emotionally engages us from start to finish, and the lack of a clear and consistent protagonist makes it harder to stay connected to the drama as it unfolds.
If you like serialized short stories, or colony-world adventures, this should be right up your alley.
Allen Steele obviously has a political ax to grind. It's too bad it colors his ability to write a great story and hurts the plausibility of the characters. That's why it gets only three stars.
"Coyote" is, as Steele bills it, a story of interstellar colonization. Fleeing political oppression, the colonists hijack a cutting edge space ship destined for the stars, and escape to Coyote, moon of a ringed Jovian size gas giant orbiting a distant star. Although a bit disjointed because the story is really a series of short stories from the various perspectives of the colonists, the format works to build an intriguing adventure. However, as creative as his ideas are, I found the understanding and portrayal of human nature to be, at points, a thin on reality, or at least plausibility. Steele seems to get how individuals would react, interact, especially young and teens. However, his villains are caricatured, his politics lack reality, and his understanding of the nuance of human relations, as well as of the rational that motivate them are simplistic and superficial. The superficiality shakes the necessary suspension of disbelief, and I occasionally found myself saying, out loud, "yeah right."
The hardest thing to swallow was the political ax/commentary that Steele seems to want to grind. The political oppression fled by the colonists is a future world where gun-toting-stay-out-of-my-business conservatives have been transformed into big-brother-is-watching dictators. In contrast, [spoiler alert:] when the second wave of colonists catch up with the first wave, several years after their arrival, it is a Utopian version of social collectivism that has overthrown the oppressive conservatives that makes it possible.
Yeah, go figure. I don't know what world Steele lives in right now, either, let alone how he envisions that it gets to where it does fifty years from now.
All that aside, I sure did enjoy the science and the fiction part of it. Once the opening chapter is out of the way, the story moves without more than occasional political comment, and the colonists, upon arrival on the new planet, form a more libertarian and democratic lifestyle that harks back to what might be more plausible from Steele's characters and today's reality.
I'll probably read the sequels.
Coyote is a novel told in 8 parts. I have read a couple of short stories set in the Coyote milieu and other short stories written by Steele and enjoyed them quite a bit so I wanted to tackle the novels at some point. Coyote is built off of a number of stories previously published, and I had some old familiarity from having read parts of this in some issues of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine a decade ago. It was much better reading this in sequence.
Overall I consider this an average novel, but I enjoyed this book well enough that I want to read the later novels in this series. The episodic nature of this story made it very easy to read. This is basically a space colony story with political overtones, especially in the beginning. The story begins in the year 2070. The United States no longer exists, having had a "second revolution" and is now fractured. Looking at some reviews by others on the net I see a huge variation in likes and dislikes. Some favorite parts are what others hate. Some people are really bent out of shape by some of the politics in the book, or at least what was implied. Note to self: When I write my great science fiction novel I will not name the space shuttles in my totalitarian police-state country the "George Wallace" or the "Jesse Helms". I will also not rename Cape Canaveral/Kennedy "Gingrich".
I won't discuss the storylines. Some of the characters in the story are a little cartoonish, and the character development for some was OK and for several here really failed for me, which caused me a bit of trouble keeping track of who was who. I liked the first part of the novel, before the starship arrives at the planet Coyote the best, and felt it bogged down quite a bit with the initial colonization. I did find most of the storylines interesting and involving as a reader. The plusses in this book are more than the few minuses. There are some surprises that stretch things a bit, but I'm glad I read it.

At the request of nearby residents, a new traffic signal will be activated Thursday on Route 29 and Austin Drive in Albemarle County.
The three-way intersection currently has a flashing caution light, but several local residents asked VDOT for a full traffic signal for safety reasons.
VDOT studied the area and found there was a large amount of the increased traffic. The new signal cost over $100,000 to install.

Are They Really Homeless?
Despite the claims of Fogel and his clients, Charlottesville City spokesman Ric Barrick tells the Newsplex his understanding is soem of the five people involved in the lawsuit against the City are not in fact homeless.
Barrick says most of them have homes and cites criminal records with known addresses on file as proof.
CBS19 searched public court documents and found the following criminal information on the five men involved in the lawsuit:
- Albert Clatterbuck: Open Container violation in 2003
- Christopher Martin: Nothing found
- Earl McGraw: Tresspassing in 2008
- John Jordan: Public swearing/intoxication, misdemeanor assault
- Michael Sloan: 2 counts of marijuana possession
June 23, 2011
The lawyer representing five Charlottesville panhandlers, who are taking legal action against the city, defended their lawsuit Thursday morning. Not only did Jeffrey Fogel call the panhandling ordinance unconstitutional, but also an assault on the homeless population's dignity and rights as American citizens.
"Everybody should have a right on the Downtown Mall simply to hold up a sign," argued Fogel, who believes the ordinance restricts the rights of homeless people to ask for assistance. "If people stand around an outdoor cafe with sings that say 'don't help the homeless', that's perfectly fine. However, if a homeless person gets up in that same location with a same sized sign that says 'please help me', they're criminals."
Businesses along the Downtown Mall have long fought panhandling. Now, panhandlers are fighting back. Five self-identified homeless men are suing the City of Charlottesville because they believe their civil rights are being violated by the ordinance.
"If you're a musician you can set up anywhere on the mall you want to," says Michael Sloan, one of the plaintiffs. "But because you're a panhandler, you're scum."
In the complaint, the men say they have to panhandle to eat and that an ordinance adopted by city council in August 2010 puts tough restrictions on their livelihood. It makes solicitation of any kind illegal within 50 feet of two mall intersections - 2nd Street SE and 4th Street NE. Citizens also are not allowed to beg close to restaurants or banks.
Since city council passed the law, Charlottesville police have issued three tickets to panhandlers. The misdemeanor carries a maximum fine of $500.
The Downtown Business Association says the ordinance has been a big success. Business owners believe it's doing exactly what it was designed to do, keep customers on the Mall safe and hassle-free.
"We certainly think that the panhandling change was beneficial and we don't think it impacted anybody adversely," said Bob Stroh of the DBAC. "As far as the panhandlers are concerned, you still see them out every day."
Panhandlers disagree.
"They say we're hassling people," argued plaintiff Albert Clatterbuck. "How are we hassling people by holding up a sign and not saying anything?"
Nearly three days after word of the lawsuit first spread, the list of people questioning the ordinance is growing and now includes local NAACP president Rick Turner and City Councilor Holly Edwards.
"When we passed it, even then I struggled with that balance between charity and justice," Edwards explained. "Any time there's a discussion about civil rights or civil liberties, we have to take those concerns very seriously."
City council adopted the ordinance as a compromise between businesses who wanted to see less panhandling and the people who rely on it. The city says the solicitation ordinance applies to everyone, even street performers and Salvation Army bell-ringers.
However, Fogel and his clients say the restrictions target the homeless, violating their First and Fourteenth amendment rights. They believe everyone should have same protection under the law.
Edwards says a majority of city council has no interest in amending the ordinance. Ultimately, the courts will have to decide whether the soliciting ordinance is a violation of the panhandlers' civil rights.

For the second year, the Montefiore Einstein Center for Cancer Care (MECCC) has won the Livestrong Foundation's Community Impact Project contest. Montefiore received a total of 4,130 online votes, the highest amount received by participating hospitals in all regions.
As a winner of the contest, the cancer center will receive a grant to provide adult and pediatric oncology patients with music therapy for an entire year. Music therapy is used to promote relaxation, to assist with pain management and to diminish stress caused by both illness and hospitalization.
Using the funds, the MECCC will introduce a music therapy program based on the Jeffrey Frank Wacks Music Therapy Program employed at the Carol G. Simon Cancer Center, in Morristown, New Jersey. In addition to receiving financial support for this program, the MECCC will receive materials to aid facilitators and participants, along with training from the model program's staff.
"We want to thank the members of the Einstein and Montefiore communities whose votes helped us win this grant," said Dr. Steven Libutti, director of the MECCC, as well as professor of surgery and of genetics at Einstein, and associate director for clinical services of the Albert Einstein Cancer Center. "Last year, your support helped us win funds for a creative arts program, which we've since implemented into the services we offer our Center's patients."
