Australian company, Barokes Pty Ltd (now registered in Europe as Vinsafe International Pty Ltd), and French filler, Cacolac S.A.S, have this month signed an agreement appointing Bordeaux based Cacolac to fill wine in a can under the European patent.
Vinsafe is the only globally patented wine packaging system which allows wine to be canned with quality, integrity, stability and extended shelf life. Granted in 2006, the EU patent for wine in a can covers the entire process for packaging of wine in a can/can bottle. Cacolac is the second European filling facility licensed to fill to wine in a can this year, with Spanish company, Font Salem based in Valencia, licensed in May. Based in Léognan, just south of Bordeaux, Cacolac is recognised as a filler of quality products. Cacolac's decision to work with Vinsafe is strategically based given its location within one of France's premium wine growing regions. Cacolac Director, Christian Maviel, stated "we are surrounded by premium wine producers looking to access new international markets and consumers with their wines and after much investigation we decided that the only viable option is Vinsafe. We would not risk filling wine for brand owners with centuries of winemaking history behind them without the use of the globally patented Vinsafe wine packaging system and the comprehensive support which is provided to us by Barokes". The Cacolac facility will undergo a comprehensive accreditation process in early August, and is expected to be ready to deploy the Vinsafe specifications to fill wine in a can soon afterwards. Barokes CEO, Greg Stokes, commented "we are delighted that Cacolac has taken the decision to work with us as an approved Vinsafe filling facility in Europe. Given the intense interest in Vinsafe at Vinexpo held in Bordeaux in June this year, having a licensed Vinsafe filler located in Bordeaux is a significant recognition of Vinsafe as the only patented and proven wine in a can technology that can be trusted with European wine brands. We have a number of French wine producers interested in filling wine in a can and Cacolac is now well placed to service these customers. These traditional 'old world' winemakers with their established brands and wines recognise the benefits of the Vinsafe cutting edge technology. They view Vinsafe as a trusted technology which they are confident in using to reach new global markets and consumer demographics." Others in Europe have tried to fill wine in a can but risk both their Brand and possible infringement of the global wine in a can patents held by Barokes. With two licensed Vinsafe fillers located in the major wine regions of Valencia (Spain) and Bordeaux (France) and backed by global packager, Ball Packaging Europe, licensed to produce cans for wine, the European supply chain for Vinsafe is now established and well placed to service European wineries looking to a proven alternative packaging system for their wines. With a foundation based on over fifteen years of comprehensive and continual research and development, Vinsafe is the only internationally patented, recognised and trusted complete technology platform proven to deliver premium quality wine in a can with integrity, stability and longevity (extended shelf life). Vinsafe is endorsed by Masters of Wine, Peter Scudamore-Smith and Philip Goodband, who see the global development of wine in a can as being underpinned by Vinsafe and demonstrated by the success of the Barokes range of wines in a can. With over 125 wine competition medals, including Platinum, 7 Gold, a number of 'Best in Class' and nomination for 'Best at Show', these accolades clearly demonstrate that Vinsafe's proven patented protocols have the ability to produce a premium quality wine in a can with integrity, stability and extended shelf life. Additionally, Barokes' strategy in purposefully holding back parcels of stock with age as part of its ongoing QA/QC and entering this stock in wine competitions further supports this with a number of silver and bronze medals awarded to Barokes in 2008 and 2009 for wines produced in 2005. The successful filling of wine in a can is complex and unlike other beverage filling techniques thereby requiring comprehensive processes, technical support and supervision which is only available through Vinsafe and its network of accredited suppliers. This is why quality wine producers only trust their brand and reputation to Vinsafe licensed and accredited supply chain partners. For more information, visit www.wineinacan.com

Now a spokesperson for the 45-65: Liberation, Unrest… a New Nation exhibition at the National Museum, Canagasabai Kunalan, is widely regarded as Singapore's greatest ever athlete. He sits down with Ashika Wong and looks back at his career with his wife, also a former national sprinter.
Canagasabai Kunalan is widely regarded as Singapore's greatest ever athlete, competing in sprinting events at two Olympic and Commonwealth Games. A footballer-turned-athlete, at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City he ran the 100m in 10.38 seconds, a national record that stood until 2001. He also twice missed out on a gold medal in the Asian Games by just 0.01sec. Now a spokesperson for the 45-65: Liberation, Unrest… a New Nation exhibition at the National Museum, he looks back at his career with his wife Elizabeth Choong Yong Yin, also a former national sprinter.
How did you both get involved with competitive sports?
Elizabeth and I didn't come from sporty families. She represented her school athletics team before joining the sports club at the Teachers' Training College in 1962. I came into sports late at 20. I was playing football for the Teachers' Union when the national athletics coach noticed me running and said, 'Your legs move very fast.' We joined the SWIFTS athletes association at TTC – it was a unique thing in the '60s to join a sports club that had proper coaches. After Elizabeth stopped competing in 1966 to raise our kids, I continued running at the Asian Games, SEA Games and Olympics until 1979. When I pulled a hamstring muscle at the SEA Games in Indonesia, that was the end of competitive sports for me – you have to realise when you're too old to go on.
What's been your greatest achievement?
Getting married! [Laughs.] Sport gave me benefits and rewards, but meeting Elizabeth in 1963, close to the racial riots and curfews of the time, it was hard. We received objections from both sides of the family and were given ultimatums, though we continued dating. Once, we were escorted home after a date at Mount Faber, because we were out past the curfew hours. We didn't know! Against the odds, though, we got married in 1966, and here we are.
What was it like to pursue a sporting career in Singapore?
There were very few sporting fields or tracks to train back then. [Drinks company] Fraser and Neave had a sporting hall and field for their employees and corporate activities, and allowed schools to use it. We also trained at a single cinder track at Farrer Park. It was bad if you fell. They improved the tracks to bitumen before the rubberised tracks in 1973. There were also not many professional coaches – all the coaches were teachers. Coaching wasn't a low-paid job; it was a non-paid job! But back in the day when coaches didn't know sport science, they had instinct and experience, along with colour-coded planners and training schedules. Right now, academic pressure gets in the way for many potential athletes. It isn't the athletes' fault, nor their parents'. It should be the country's effort to groom our athletes. Athletes need time for training and recovery.

Mark Ordan named CEO of Washington Prime Group
Related fund data links
Simon Property Group (SPG) has appointed Mark Ordan as chief executive officer of Washington Prime Group, an independent, publicly traded REIT, comprised initially of SPG's strip centre business and its smaller enclosed malls.
Washington Prime Group's mission is to own stable, quality retail properties that effectively serve the communities in which they are located. Washington Prime Group is expected to initially own or have an interest in 98 diversified retail real estate assets.
Most recently, Ordan was CEO of Sunrise Senior Living, having led its successful turnaround and eventual sale to Health Care REIT and KKR. Prior to Sunrise, Ordan guided the turnaround of The Mills Corporation as its CEO, and then led its sale to Simon Property Group and Farallon Capital Management.
Ordan was founder and CEO of Fresh Fields which he sold to Whole Foods Market. He served on the board of Federal Realty Investment Trust for 10 years and was non-executive chairman from 2001 through 2006 when he led the board of director's restructuring of the senior management team.
David Simon, chairman and CEO of Simon Property Group, says: "We worked closely with Mark during the Mills transaction and found him to be a top-rate executive with particular expertise in creating value for an organisation. I am very confident Mark has the retail real estate operating experience to lead this exciting new company."

My PWS, KCAALMAN1, has been missing data since circa 3:05 pm on 11/29/12 in the middle of a rain event. When I got up here on Fri. night, it was apparent that we have lost our wireless Digital Path connection with the Mt. Dyer transmitter. Digital Path Tech Support has come to the conclusion that our antenna in the tree needs repair. That's interesting since a new one was installed this winter on 1/27/12. It is the "dish type" that is DP's high gain unit and has shown good performance up until this failure.
They say they can get to it some time after Mon. 12/3. So we will be "off the air" for a few more days it looks like.

Indian musician and composer Ravi Shankar, the father of Grammy winner Norah Jones and the man George Harrison called "the godfather of world music," has died. He was 92.
"It is with heavy hearts we write to inform you that Pandit Ravi Shankar, husband, father, and musical soul, passed away today, December 11th, 2012," his family said in a statement on his website. "His health has been fragile for the past several years and on Thursday he underwent a surgery that could have potentially given him a new lease of life. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the surgeons and doctors taking care of him, his body was not able to withstand the strain of the surgery. We were at his side when he passed away."
Scott Hicks' GLASS: A PORTRAIT OF PHILIP IN TWELVE PARTS is a mosaic film portrait of one of the greatest, and at times controversial, artists of this era. Allowed unprecedented access to Glass' working process, family, spiritual teachers and long time collaborators, the director worked with a skeleton crew and shot the lion's share of the footage himself. The film follows the innovative composer with a casual, immediate honesty, giving viewers a singular revelation into the life of this surprising and complex man. The documentary also features performance footage of Glass' seminal collaboration with avant-guard stage director Robert Wilson (Einstein on the Beach), interviews with former wives JoAnne Akalaitis and Holly Critchlow, artist Chuck Close, musician Nico Muhly and film directors including Errol Morris, Godfrey Reggio and Martin Scorsese.
Tarzan Goes To India movie trailer - starring Jock Mahoney, Leo Gordon, Feroz Khan, Mark Dana, Simi Garewal, Jagdish Raaj. Directed by John Guillermin. Genre: Action-Adventure
Rating: Not Rated
Miller's masterpiece was filmed for the BBC in 1966 and stars acting legends Peter Sellers, John Gielgud, Michael Redgrave, Peter Cook and Leo McKern, with dreamlike music written and performed by Ravi Shankar. In this Alice, an enigmatic young girl wanders through a Victorian landscape populated by the most bizarre and astonishing characters. Alice gently questions each one in turn, subtly mocking their middle-class English values. Packed with extras from the BBC vault, this Alice in Wonderland is a feast for the imagination!

In 2005, award-winning director Scott Hicks began shooting a documentary about the legendary composer Philip Glass. Over the next 18 months, Scott followed Philip across three continents - from his annual ride on the Coney Island "Cyclone" roller coaster to the world premier of his new opera in Germany. Allowed unprecedented access to Glass's working process, family and long time collaborators (including Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Errol Morris), Hicks provides a unique glimpse behind the curtain into the life of a surprising and complex man, creating a remarkable portrait of one of the greatest artists of all time.
"On November 29, 2002, one year after the passing of George Harrison, Olivia Harrison and longtime friend Eric Clapton organized a performance tribute in his honor. His closest friends gathered at London's Royal Albert Hall to celebrate his life in the only way they knew how – by playing his music. The momentous evening featured George's songs, and music he loved, performed by a lineup that included Clapton, Jools Holland, Jeff Lynne, Paul McCartney, Monty Python, Tom Petty, Billy Preston, Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, Ringo Starr, Dhani Harrison and many more.
Directed by David Leland (Wish You Were Here, HBO's Band Of Brothers and the Traveling Wilburys video "Handle With Care"), the Grammy® Award-winning CONCERT FOR GEORGE captures stunning renditions of some of the most significant music of the 20th century, including "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (featuring Clapton on guitar, McCartney on piano and Starr on drums), "Taxman" (performed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and "The Inner Light" (covered by Jeff Lynne and Anoushka Shankar). Lynne, Harrison's longtime friend and collaborator, produced the audio elements of the concert, while Clapton oversaw the entire proceedings as Musical Director."

Sir Ben Kingsley stars as Mohandas Gandhi in Lord Richard Attenborough's riveting biography of the man who rose from simple lawyer to worldwide symbol of peace and understanding.

I've never thrown a pot luck / BIG party before
- t
- the hostess Aug 25, 2010 07:24 AM
So I'm throwing a pot-luck BBQ for Labour Day Monday... I will be cooking at least two whole pork shoulders (pulled pork, in the oven) and a few beer can chickens, but what is realistic for me to ask people to bring? Substantial sides? Veggies? Apps? (stuff that doesn't need cooking since I only have one stove?!) I've never done this before, I'm a virgo and it's hard for me to relinquish control ;) and at the same time, don't want to end up with a party with just chips and dip...
Ok so if I have time I would also like to make a couple of sour-cream peach pies if I can find the recipe from the Food that Really Schmecks cookbook, a bunch of rum & coke grilled pineapple, and if I have time, twice-baked potatoes or Vermont corn spoon bread... see above about relinquishing control. Oh, and buttertarts.
Could anyone post a good / simple recipe for coleslaw - perhaps one with dairy and one sans dairy, I have a good friend who is no dairy, no soy, no wheat.
MANY thanks!!!
Here's one with dairy, to me it's just the right amount tangy/sweet--
Of course you can just chop cabbage, carrot instead of using packaged coleslaw mix.
This one without dairy
is also very good--surprisingly good as I remember.
Do an e-vite and have a "registry" of side dishes that folks can sign up to bring (be sure to include non-foodie items such as cups, plates, bottled soda, etc. , for the folks who dread cooking to bring).
Also, take a deep breath and remember that control isn't all that it's cracked up to be. It might be the world's most perfect menu, but if you've exhausted yourself with prep and trying to get everything exactly right, you won't be able to enjoy your guests.
re: weezycom
oh that's such a good idea! Nothing will be perfect about it but the bar WILL be stocked :) thanks!
If it's a large enough party, which with 2 pork shoulders and some chickens sounds like it is, you don't have to tell anyone what to bring. By random chance, you'll end up with everything you need. Luck of the pot, and all that. Just tell your guests that you're providing meat, and to please bring something for the potluck. It's easier organizationally, and it allows more freedom for the other cooks.
How many people? Probably quite a few since you're doing two pork shoulders.
So you don't end up with just meat and desserts, you can ask people to bring certain things - veggie sides, salads, dessert, chips and dip, garlic bread, drinks... etc...
Also, if you have a lot of people, I usually don't expect people to bring enough to everyone. I usually suggest 8-10 servings. There should be enough overlap where guest won't run out of food.
As mentioned above, I like allrecipes.com, especially the feedback on recipes. I find it humorous that people post low ratings but admit they didn't follow the recipe, but that's another question. :-)
I have found it easier to direct people in terms of what to bring; maybe you could create space for 3-4 different salads, side dishes, apps., and desserts and then just assign a category until all spots are filled. Doing this has spared me the curse of a meat-and-jello-salad extravaganza. This will allow you to have a modicum of control without asking for specific foods, and people can get creative while holding to a certain parameter. You may want to mention the lack of oven/stove to folks and ask them to bring dishes better served at room temperature, which is a good idea for a potluck where the food stays out for awhile. Most important; relax and enjoy your own shindig. Even if it did turn out to be meat-and-jello, y'all will have fun. Just stock the bar. : )
I make a corn cobbie dish. Make your corn steamed or boiled. Then cut into about 2-3 inch pieces. Sautee in butter, garlic, lime juice, chile powder, cumin a little salt and topped with cilantro. I've added serrano chilies to the saute before also, serve with wedges of lime. Just throw them all in a huge pasta dish, cover with foil. Or a foil dish covered with foil to keep warm. Be sure to have little pick handy in a container for people to use.
re: chef chicklet
This is a great idea and sounds delicious, but I'd hesitate to serve them at a cocktail party. Little picks are usually pretty flimsy, and pieces of cob corn are pretty heavy; I have the feeling people would end up needing to use fingers for a somewhat drippy food, which is never a good idea. There's also the social/aesthetic thing that has to do with a corn-loaded smile, somewhat akin to the spinach smile that we all try to avoid, right? i love this though, for picnics, family, totally casual situations with close friends. Just not in the context of a cocktail party.
re: mamachef
so sorry. I got threads confused and responded. This is a great idea for this thread. Must get more sleep.
re: chef chicklet
this sounds yummy. I was trying to think of a way of doing corn without having to cook whole ones, I think I will try this but cut them up first so I can fit more in the pot. thank you for sharing this.
My non dairy coleslaw can go Mexican or Asian, I usually make the Mexican version.
I have a non mayonnaise friend. This is a coleslaw I usually throw it together and I taste as I go. Shred about half of a large cabbage. Cut one jalapeno pepper, no seeds, or leave this out. Chop about four scallions. In a very large non reactive bowl toss, the veggies.
Dressing is rice wine vinegar 1/3 cup, 2 tsp sugar or splenda, juice of 1 lime, and a little olive oil 1/8 cup - mix it well with salt and lots of pepper, add chopped cilantro to the salad, and toss adding a little dressing at a time. should be sweet and tart, little heat. Be careful not to overdress. I usually sit in the fridge, add more dressing if it needs it. Sometimes I add tiny tomatoes. Very refreshing.
re: chef chicklet
I make something similar and agree it is a great coleslaw.
So refreshing, the lime juice really makes, and I tend to add a lot.
You could ask people to bring sides that can be kept warm in crockpot/slow cookers. Sides like calico beans, mac and cheese or au gratin potatoes go well with pulled pork and roast chicken.
For a big party, ask people to bring salads or sides, and things should work out fine.
Personally, I really hate potlucks by registry unless it's for something really specific, like a shared Thanksgiving dinner - I figure the host either gets to ask people to bring stuff *or* to control exactly what is served, not both.
re: tastesgoodwhatisit
I totally agree that asking people to bring specifics ("Liz, can you bring potato salad? But no bacon or onions, please, remember Tom has allergies and Maria is vegetarian.") harks back to that awful T-day email that goes around every year -- you know the one I'm talking about? Hyper-controlling in-law dictates the specific ingredients of every dish her relatives have to bring, right down to the brand of cream of mushroom soup for the green bean casserole?
re: LauraGrace
Wow! Is that a real email?
All the more reason to make T-day dinner for one's own family and skip the large gatherings. However, it's mainly for the kids we get together with family that we would avoid most of the year. Cousin Jake who like punching kids. Aunt Edna and her hairy mole. Nothing wrong with sweet Aunt Edna. Just a little a little eccentric.
House brand vanilla ice cream is great for a gorge-fest. The kids don't care. It's all about the kids!
My group of friends does a pot-luck-type dinner at least quarterly, usually with a holiday meal thrown in there as well. The "registry" idea is a good one. You can use Facebook, an e-vite thing, or just email addresses.
This is super important if you're organizing by email (which I much prefer to FB or evites, incidentally, since everyone checks email anyway; that way they don't have to go to a separate site to do the arrangements) -- make sure that everyone hits "REPLY ALL" when they tell you what they're bringing. My emails usually look something like this:
(/begin sample) Hey all, the date of the party is _______ at the Joneses'. Sam and Jon are providing the grill, burgers, brats, and buns. Here's what else we need:
Non-alcoholic Drinks:
Grownup Drinks:
PLEASE HIT REPLY ALL and fill your name in on the above list with what you're bringing! Thanks!
(/end sample) ;)
Good luck! :)
I think the key is to have a good amount of everything on hand and everything that anyone else brings is supplemental. One thing I've found is that people arrive at different times and you may end up waiting a while for someone to bring the plates. Potluck implies a casualness of timing as opposed to where one person handles everything so keep that in mind. Be prepared that everyone may bring chips and dips. In fact you are halfway there with the food you are planning.
So make sure you have the essentials - plates, cups, napkins, and silverware as well as a decent but simple array of drinks (sparkling water, ice tea, and beer). That means people can bring a few six packs of their favorite beer to supplement and a nice bottle of wine. Or even the fixin's for a great mixed drink.
You've got the main course cover in spades. Add a green salad and a pasta/potato salad to feed the crew.
A BIG thing is to make sure there's a nominal amount of something ready for people to nibble on immediately - nuts, crudite, chips and dips. Then people aren't eyeing the chicken waiting for it to get cooked as everyone trickles in.
re: Dcfoodblog
Fair enough. I was planning on having the basics down and since I don't know who is coming when and how long this thing will go (BF said "you don't need backyard lighting it will be all in the daytime" LOL) I am planning on spreading out the cooking of the chickens (and ramping it up to 6, not 3 based on guest list now...) Thanks for the tips, and recipes!

Food "etiquette" after a death
- danhole Nov 4, 2008 01:39 AM
What is the standard, wherever you are, after a death in the family? Does someone bring food to your home, for the family, or is food provided after the service (as in funeral/memorial/burial)? I am on a rant right now because my mother in law passed away and we are having a memorial service at her church on Fri. We have been informed that nothing will be provided, by the church's ladies, because they are having their Turkey Supper that evening. She has been a member of that church since she was born, 86 years ago. I feel like they should at least do something. So far no offers of bringing food over have been given, and now it is up to the family to provide food for the people who attend the gathering, as if we don't have enough to take care of as it is. But maybe I am just being too sensitive. At our church (obviously not the same one) there is a potluck for the family with the ladies bringing comfort foods for the family, and enough for them to take home for the days ahead. But this place put out pimento cheese sandwiches and a couple of bags of chips for my father in law just 3 years back. Have things really changed that much? What are others experiences?
danhole, people providing food to the bereaved was kind, and neighborly, but those kinds of neighbors no longer exist around here.
The protocol now is to provide a luncheon for those who attend the service at a local restaurant. The offer to attend the luncheon is sometimes made at the religious edifice, sometimes at the cemetery.
Condolences on your mother-in-law.
In our area (or at least my current friends and family), the family provides a luncheon after the funeral. Most of the time it's at a small function hall (Elks, etc), or a small restaurant.
Having gone through many, many funerals in my life, here are my thoughts.
Usually, the day of/day after a death, the family gets inundated with food from family, friends, etc. I think the thought is that the family shouldn't have to cook. Literally everyone showing up at my house always had food of some sort.
After or during the break in the viewings, usually the family will leave the funeral home and either go home to eat, or go out to eat. Sometimes very close friends of the family join in on this. Everyone pays for themselves.
After the funeral itself, it is customary to have a wake. This can either be at the family's home (or as we discovered, for much less hassle) at a restaurant/banquet hall. It is the family's responsibility to pay for this.
If you have a church that is nice enough to donate the food after the service, that is wonderful, but it is not standard nor should it be expected.
re: carey24
In this particular church if you belong to one of the ladies service groups, as opposed to a sewing group, etc., then part of the service the group gives to the congregation is to have a committee that provides some kind of food for families after a funeral or memorial service. I know this first hand because I used to attend there and belonged to one of the groups. This is not a small congregation, nor is it a predominantly elderly one either. So, it is not out of a sense of entitlement, and I do realize that limits have to be set, as in how many they are willing to serve, etc., yet to be totally blown off is what is offensive.
We are fortunate, however, because one of our daughters has a connection with a bar/restaurant which graciously offered to host a lunch for the family for after the service. So we will be taking some sandwiches, chips, punch and dips to the church for the attendees who want to visit after the service and then we will leave for our own special lunch.
It's so different than when my dad died back in 1988. We had food dropped by the house for days, and a nice reception at my house, where my ladies from church swept in and took care of the food and everything else. And my dad didn't even go to church! My, how things have changed.
re: danhole
I'm 32 and was raised Catholic. My first relative died when I was 8. Even back then, the church did nothing except the funeral service and I'm pretty certain we paid for that. In fact, the priest even came to the wake afterwards and ate (on our dime). And my mother taught at the school and my sister and I attended the school.
We had more help from the restaurant my sister and I worked for and people we knew that owned carry-out places, than we ever did from our church. Even when my father died suddenly.
The first church I've ever seen provide food was a funeral service that I attended recently. It was a more modern church, I'm not even sure of the religion other than "Christian". My family and I were shocked at the amount of food served in the lobby, directly following the service at no cost to the family. It was the first time any of us experienced a church providing food.
re: danhole
Times have changed, but some churches are just cold. Your M-I-L's church sounds like one of the cold ones. When my F-I-L passed, the service was dry as dust and the church did nothing. FIL's wife served store-bought cake and coffee at home after the service.
Your experience when your dad passed was similar to when my Dad passed in 1982. Mom and Dad had been members of the church since 1950. We had food for days. My favorite funeral gift was 2 big bags of ice after we ran out.
My aunts, uncles and grandmother's after-funeral meals were all similar - whether held at the church or at home. The church ladies outdid themselves. BTW, all these funerals were in Houston.
Last year my brother passed. They weren't churchgoers, but reserved a large church in San Marcos for the 400+ funeral attendees. Then my sister-in-law's service held a blow-out luncheon at a friends house on the river. My brother would have loved the party.
Condolences to you and your husband.
In my experience with funerals (mostly in Eastern NC) friends and neighbors bring a lot of food immediately following the death. We typically don't wait too long for the visitation and funeral (recently had a very interesting conversation about funerals on Sundays...) so the abundance of food from friends and neighbors is still good and served to family and close friends after the service either at the home of the closest family member to the deceased or in the church fellowship hall. Some of the more thoughtful ladies from church will wait a day before and ask what is needed before bringing food. There is never a shortage of food and we never have to go to a restaurant.
re: BobB
To elaborate on Jewish funeral food tradition a little more...
Usually family will come to the house after the funeral and the closest mourners will be served a hard-boiled egg. There is always food - we're Jewish, after all. At our most recent funerals, a grandson, son-in-law, etc. will call and arrange for deli platters to be delivered to the house. The family pays for this.
In the week following the death, friends will either bring food to the family or arrange to have meals sent from delis, restaurants, or caterers. Again, the idea is that the family should not have to think about cooking or feeding the children during this period. People coming to visit the family will bring cakes and the like and the family will generally have coffee and other beverages available.
re: rockycat
I remembered this from an earlier thread last year on True Friendship.....from 3000 miles away....specifically to the Jewish Tradition of "sitting shiva".
In my experience the family provides food for a post-service reception. Whether it's just punch and cookies or a full meal depends on their means and inclination I suppose. I don't think I've been to one where a church provided the food, at least not for free. I did go to a service where the church provided it after, but the family paid for it.
As to post-service food, around where I live people still bring food to the family in the first week or two following a death.
Growing up in So. MS, food would begin to arrive at family members' homes immediately upon word spreading that a death had occurred. After the service (burial, memorial) many friends would gather back at one family member's home to share condolences and "graze".
A few years ago, here in TX, I picked up enough bbq w/sides for about 10 ppl and took to a friend whose mother in law had died. It was waiting for the family for when they returned from making the arrangements.
Some time later, her husband asked me "why I did that". Go figure.
re: CocoaNut
Wow. How nice that this tradition hasn't died out in other areas of the country.
re: CocoaNut
That was a very thoughtful thing for you to do!
re: CocoaNut
Jfood FIL passed away recently and under Jewish law the burial must occur within 2 business days. The funeral was held at the temple and then the ceremony at the place of internment immediately thereafter.
Then, as BobB states there is a shiva period (1 week) at the home of the family. Upon returning from the place of internment, food is provided. In jfood's case the amount of food that arrived from friends and neighbors was enough to feed everyone there, plus the family for the shiva period. Jfood also had food brought in from a local caterer. And as BobB stated, flowers are not something to bring to a Shiva.
On a different note, a good friend died a few years ago and left the non-cooking husband to fend and feed himself and the 2 kids. Mrs jfood established a schedule for various friends to commit to cook and bring over dinner (both fresh and frozen) for several weeks after the wife passed away. This gave the husband a chance to get his feet under him and keep the family fed.
1. Yes you are being too sensitive ... but death in the family will do that to you
2. Whatever other people do, what is important is what this particular church usually does.
So in a way to validate your feelings, I thought it was particularily cold not only to tell you they would not be providing food, but that it was because they are having their turkey supper. It would kill people to share a little of that turkey supper food with you? One would hope at the least they will be attending the service and not be too tied up cooking for their event.
I'm Catholic and as others noted there is usually a meal afterward paid for by the family. If it is a small group, people go out to a restaurant. A larger funeral usually involves renting a hall.
For me, it depends if I bring food to someone after a death.
If I think the family probably won't be cooking due to grief ... or will have lots of visitors ... I'll bring something over.
My dad died when I was 16 and these many decades later I still remember a neighbor who made breakfast for us the next morning. It was the worst, runny scrambled eggs I've ever eaten ... and the best meal I've had in my life because of the sheer kindness of the act ... this woman had MS and would be joining my dad soon.
An act of unkindness, such as it seems the one you mention, can also remain with you forever. I can only suggest you forgive and forget. Being bitter will not hurt these women one bit and the only one stuck with the unpleasantness is you. Not now, maybe next week, you might write a letter to the pastor or whatever and mention that after 86 years of being a member of this particular church, well ... what would God think? Why go to church if not to show our love for God and our neighbors?
My condolances to the family. I hope you will spend these days remembering the good times with your mother in law and not waste time being bothered by thoughtless people.
The Catholic way in the Northeast is that the family invites people to a collation after burial or interment (if its immediately follows the funeral Mass) . It used to be frequently held at the family home, with food either catered or potlucked, but now it is much more common for it to be held in a function room (if the parish hall has a kitchen and the room, it could happen there, but that's only true for more modern buildings that have been designed with that in mind).
This might be repeated on a more intimate scale for the Monthsmind Mass (the Mass that is customarily offered on the 30th-day anniversary of the death or burial) and similar anniversary Masses that people are invited to attend. The traditional anniversary Masses (one week, 30 days especially, one year) are not as common as they once were and that is reflection of how family is now much more geographically disparate than was formerly common. I find the parallels between Jewish and Catholic anniversary rituals fascinating (what can I say - my mother grew up in a Catholic and Orthodox Jewish neighborhood and learned both...).
My mom passed away on Easter Sunday of this year. My sister and her family had to drive in from St. Louis to VT so we had the funeral on Saturday morning. During the week a multitude of friends brought over dinners, ham dinners, meatballs and sausage so that my wife and I did not have to prepare anything when my sister and family arived.
The day of the funeral we had ordered food from a local caterer and people stopped by to offer condolences etc.
The caterer actually sent over more food than we ordered so that we would have enought for the rest of the weekend.
It was greatly appreciated and these friends just appeared with platters of food.
It's a tradition in our part of VT regardless of what faith you are. Just neighbors helping neighbors.
Hi danhole,
Just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss and weigh in on the topic-
I don't think you are being sensitive at all. It seems like the church would do a little something for the family seeing as how your MIL was a member for so long. I have never experienced a funeral where there wasn't loads of food in the house and usually in the church after the service. I was raised in NC and usually people start bringing food over as soon as they hear that someone has passed. I'm talking hams, cakes, pies, bread, side dishes, and more. Usually family and close friends will come eat after the wake and after the funeral and just hang out and talk. These are also Southern Baptists who tend to be pretty old school and traditional but that is pretty standard in the South no matter what church or denomination(in my experience).
I'd find another church, but that's just me. It was my experience growning up in the South, that if there was a death in the church, regardless of who died (deacon, elderly, child, etc) or when they died, the church ladies took food. If it was during your holiday cooking time, you cooked extra and took it. One of the major functions of a church is to be an "extended family," and take care of each other.
In my church (Latter Day Saint) - and this is constant among all congregations in the country, we usually provide a family dinner after the funeral, and meals if they are needed for the family after. But the meal in the western US is typically ham, funeral potatoes (see thread on Mormon funeral potatoes), green beans of some sort or green salad and rolls. I think I may demur : ). No really, it is a very sweet gesture. They also do meals for illnesses, baby births, surgeries, etc. so it is really an entrenched part of the culture. I also saw the same thing in a Seventh Day Adventist church when a colleague was tragically killed in a hit and run.
But if it isn't the tradition in the church where your MIL attended, they probably never even assumed you were relying on it. It just isn't part of the culture maybe?
I know when my great grandmother passed away, the ladies of the church (of which she had been a member for eons) put on a nice lunch for our family and her acquantances.
Thanks for all the different responses, and condolences. I do want to make a couple points:
1. I am hurt, but I am not going to remain bitter or let this leave a bad taste in my mouth. We left this particular church many years ago because of the demeanor, yet my MIL was totally devoted to it. To honor her, I will let this slide.
2. I think it's ironic that a bar/restaurant is hosting our family, seeing as how they are considered "heathens" by a lot of "christians", while the "christians" have refused. Enough said.
3. The food isn't really the point. It is the spirit of it. Even when I was a working mother with small children I could at the very least pick up a package of something to take to a family that had lost a loved one, just out of compassion.
4. I am done ranting, and thanks for the help.
re: danhole
There's no answer to your question.
Different times different places different people/cultures and on and on.
Got ALL the T-shirts. From the death of my son to my sister dying at age 30 to my mother.
Forget about it. I promise you everyone else will have done so a few days after they have had to once again drag out their dark clothes and interrupt their 'busy' lives to attend yet another funeral/wake/dinner/whatever for someone most of them barely knew.
The days of the classic 'movie fantasy funeral/wake/dinner' are long since passed.
I recommend to everyone who plans to die in the future to get Lebowski to take care of the details.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKjBFs... That's exactly what's going to happen to my ashes.
Funerals/wakes etc are 100% about salving the living.
Next time be nice to those who are about to depart this vale.
re: Puffin3
Sadly, since posting this question in 2008, Danhole herself died, early last year.
Hopefully her passing was observed in a manner of which she'd have approved.
re: greygarious
Awww ... that is sad!
re: greygarious
I thought she had, but then we've lost more than a few in the last coupla years, it's hard to keep straight. I hope something was done right (whether in a bar or a church basement).
re: greygarious
grey, I just saw this as a 'related' topic and clicked on it just to see. And was really caught off-guard when I saw danhole's name. I also hope her church pulled out all the stops. She was a wonderful Chowhound.
My grandfather and aunt passed away within days of each other. We had a joint service for the two of them in a small church in a small farming town in Wisconsin. The church ladies provided coffee, maybe some cookies, and helped get the room ready for the reception. The family provided food for the guests.
Up here (North Idaho), the ladies from the church put together a nice spread in the basement (kitchen) of the church for after the service. Lots of food is brought to the house, there are usually out of town family and guests milling around for days after the service. We usually take an ice chest, bags of ice, a large coffee urn, and disposable plates, cups, silverware and napkins for extra storage and easy clean up.
I live in the south and can remember only funerals from when I was a child. We had too mcpuch food brought to us by friends that knew us and the deceased. The 'church' didn't provide food, but then again many of the church ladies brought us food. No one came to the house after the service. Usually people would float in and out during the time of death and a few weeks afterwards.

WASHINGTON – President Obama delivered a forceful and emotional plea to lawmakers Thursday to pass his gun-control agenda, saying shame on us if we've forgotten the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
The president, frustrated by the slow pace of progress on Capitol Hill, asserted that universal background checks for gun buyers and other measures are hardly radical and would save lives. Speaking in the East Room of the White House and flanked by mothers of shooting victims, Obama repeatedly invoked last December's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Less than 100 days ago that happened, Obama said. And the entire country was shocked and the entire country pledged we would do something about it and this time would be different. Shame on us if we've forgotten. I haven't forgotten those kids. Shame on us if we've forgotten.
Obama, who spoke alongside Vice President Biden, the administration's point person on guns, is trying to pressure wavering lawmakers in advance of an expected Senate vote next month on his guns agenda. He urged Americans to raise your voices and make yourselves unmistakably heard so that lawmakers don't get squishy.
We need everybody to remember how we felt 100 days ago and make sure that what we said at that time wasn't just a bunch of platitudes, that we meant it, Obama said.
Obama's remarks came on a National Day to Demand Action in which gun-control advocacy groups are holding more than 140 public events in 29 states designed to pressure wavering lawmakers into voting for universal background checks.
It was also the day when newly released search warrants in the Newtown case revealed that authorities discovered more than a thousand rounds of ammunition, an unlocked gun safe, and samurai swords inside gunman Adam Lanza's home.
The president made a veiled reference to the National Rifle Association, saying, There are some powerful voices on the other side who are interested in running out the clock.
They're doing everything they can to make all of our progress collapse under the weight of fear or frustration, Obama said.
Obama ticked through the specific proposals under consideration in the Senate – universal background checks, a federal gun trafficking law, bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines – and portrayed the agenda as moderate and non-controversial.
All of them are consistent with the Second Amendment, Obama said. None of them will infringe on the rights of responsible gun owners. What they will do is keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people who put others at risk.
He focused particular attention on background checks, his top priority and by far the most popular of the proposals. Public polls suggest as many as nine out of 10 Americans support the idea.
Right now, 90 percent of Americans – 90 percent – support background checks, Obama said. How often do 90 percent of Americans agree on anything?
Obama was introduced by Katerina Rodgaard, a mother, lawyer and dance instructor from Maryland whose dance student was killed in the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech. After the Newtown shooting, Rodgaard said, I no longer felt it was safe to raise a family in this country.
Obama, referring to Virginia Tech and mass shootings in Arizona and Colorado, said: The grief doesn't ever go away. That loss, that pain, sticks with you. It lingers on in places like Blacksburg and Tucson and Aurora. That anguish is still fresh in Newtown.

The pianist and his New York based affiliates meld emphatic lines with streamlined swing vamps, evidenced on the opener, "After The Fact." While Kolker, here performing on bass clarinet and the pianist concoct expansive soundscapes amid odd-metered, yet tuneful unison choruses on, "Dark Stream." Hall's McCoy Tyner influence seems apparent in spots via his proclivities for pursuing diminutive crescendos and swirling chord clusters. Furthermore, the pianist is apt to inject briefly actualized shifts in strategy, marked by agile right hand leads and foreboding undercurrents. No doubt, Hall makes every note count and seems intent on illuminating the compositional frameworks and melodic underpinnings!
Kolker sits out on the soft and elegantly stated ballad titled "Under The Rainbow," as the band kicks the proceedings back into high gear on the airy, funk/blues-based piece, "Side Trip." Simply stated, Hall offers the best of both worlds thanks to his shrewd compositional pen and penchant for injecting off-kilter yet largely memorable hooks into his works. Fervently recommended.

UK utilities have urged network manager National Grid to postpone a controversial plan to shift electricity balancing system charges from generators to suppliers.
National Grid has predicted that the wholesale price would fall by around £1.00/MWh (€1.25/MWh) - to £47.29/MWh from £48.29/MWh based on 2010-2011 data - if generators no longer pay the balancing services use of system (BSUoS) charge (see EDEM 16 August 2012).
In a series of consultation responses published by National Grid at the end of last week, energy giant Centrica claimed the move could cost British utilities £150m, citing National Grid analysis.
The scheme would reform the balancing code so that suppliers are wholly liable for BSUoS charges - costs that are today shared equally between suppliers and generators.
Fellow utility EDF said it would need 18 months to introduce the changes. Centrica and ScottishPower called for a two-year grace period, and E.ON and International Power said a three-year transition would be preferable.
RWE said the transition period must fall "outside current hedging timescales" to reduce the potential for electricity market participants making windfall gains and losses.
The UK's largest independent generator, Drax Power, asked for "reasonable time to transition to the new arrangements".
Consumer lobby group Customer Focus said the UK is so far ahead of liberalising its energy markets that the reform should be postponed until other EU member states have caught up.
Cross-border boost?
Drax said in its submission that the move would facilitate cross-border trade and would better align the UK with the balancing rules of other EU member states. Removing the 50% share of BSUoS from generators would allow them to offer lower wholesale electricity prices, its submission added.
However, Centrica argued that if generators did not have to pay the charges, it would increase flows to markets in mainland Europe along the BritNed and UK-France interconnectors, which would ultimately push domestic prices higher.
"Although the wholesale power price should reduce the corresponding increase in flows across interconnectors would increase the power price, resulting in a negative impact to Britain," Centrica's submission argued.
One utilities analyst disagreed that volumes of flows would increase. He said the prevailing direction of both French and Dutch interconnectors is already towards the UK. "A dip in UK wholesale prices is likely to reduce interconnector flows by curbing flows imported to the UK from Europe," he said.
The analyst added that prices in mainland Europe are already lower than in the UK, and the discount will widen further when the UK implements its carbon price floor next April.
"I think the removal of BSUoS would simply ease the present situation [of lower mainland prices] rather than trigger a whole new interconnector flow pattern," the analyst said.
National Grid is proposing to alter the system user charges to bring the UK more in line with charges levied in European countries, which are typically borne by suppliers.
If the review is implemented, suppliers would need to increase their credit cover - at present they must offer National Grid one month's BSUoS liability.
Customer Focus said the increased credit requirements would raise barriers to entry for new independent suppliers.
There are also fears that generators would fail to pass the savings down the supply chain in the form of lower wholesale power prices.
The reform, known as CMP201, follows the introduction of a parallel change known as CMP202. A related plan exempting the operators of interconnectors from BSUoS charges was approved on 15 August and came into effect on 30 August.
National Grid is seeking responses to its latest publications, a draft modification report, by Friday 14 September, before it makes a final decision on whether to implement the reform. KB

One recurring bit on Carolla's podcast is calling out insults described as compliments. Like when one of his female fans tell him, "Oooh, my boyfriend loves your show ... but I don't get it." So what he told Confidenti@l about the reality show family certainly falls under that umbrella while reinforcing his pro-American credentials. I'd like to say to my kids, 'See these people? First off, they're Armenian or something. They're not blue-eyed, they have no discernible talent and bring nothing to the party, and yet they've made millions and millions of dollars.' Only in America," he said. Carolla says the secret to the family's success is a "motor," which is just some old-fashioned American drive.

A local man arrested in an October drug bust last year will spend a year in prison for his crimes.
State and village police busted eight Tri-Lakes area residents last fall.
Among them was 58-year-old Michael E. Simmons of Saranac Lake, who was charged with two counts each of fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance - both class-D felonies.
In February, Simmons pleaded guilty to the sole count of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Appearing in Franklin County Court this week before Judge Robert G. Main Jr., he was sentenced to one year in Franklin County Jail and ordered to pay fines totaling $2,500.
Prosecutors from the Franklin County District Attorney's Office revealed that Simmons was involved in an operation involving dealers from New York City who sold drugs like cocaine, morphine, and hydrocodone out of area hotel rooms.
Those dealers told police that the Tri-Lakes are an "untapped market."
