Thanks to the wonderful staff ! and It was a pleasure meeting the Inn Keepers also !

I rate this B & B outstanding all the way around. Three ladies (now officially known as Senior Citizens) one widowed, one married and one divorced took a road trip during azaelea season and by chance decided to give this inn a try. Staying there was the best experience of the entire trip. We loved the City, the room, the food, the view. No wonder it made the top 100 things to do list!

We recently had the opportunity to visit Two Meeting Street for our anniversary. It was a most delightful experience! We are big B&B fans and this staff was the most knowledgeable and courteous we have ever encountered. We almost felt guilty letting them take such good care of us. We actually over scheduled ourselves and didn't allow enough time to drink in the beauty and charm of this rare gem. We would highly recommend a stay and this lovely, historical B&B. You will not be disappointed. Do take a sail boat tour if time allows.

On steeping foot on the property, it was apparant that our stay would be full of old time charm, without being stuffy. The staff was exquisate in asking and being able to supply us with things to do , how to get to different place on time, use of different methods of transportation, making sure our earlier than normal departure was orderly and packed a road trip lunch so we could meet our deadlines and included a "to go" breakfast and coffee. Housekeeping staff outstanding, rooms unbelievably clean

I could not ask for a better place to stay! It is so lovely and the hosts are so accommodating. The porch tea-time and breakfasts were first class!

From the first moment we arrived, we were greeted with a smile and an ice cold glass of peach iced tea (which was very welcomed after a long drive in 100 degree weather!). The staff is extremely attentive and helpful. Each morning breakfast was delicious and beautiful to look at. Every afternoon they served Southern recipes for dips and desserts with more of my favorite Peach Iced Tea and we were able to enjoy these goodies on the large porch. The Blue Room was cozy and comfortable. Everything was extremely clean and the location was perfect. It was far enough away from the busier part of Charleston, but not too far to walk. We feel very lucky to have found this gem for our 3-day trip.

Study: Majority Of US Adults Make No End-Of-Life Plans
CBS Charlotte (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSCharlotte.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSCharlotte.com/Health
Chapel Hill, N.C. (CBS CHARLOTTE) – A majority of Americans do not deal with end-of-life issues, with only about a quarter of US adults having completed a living will.
A University of North Carolina study of nearly 8,000 Americans found that only 26 percent of adults had completed an advance directive, also known as a living will. Women, whites, married couples and those with a college degree of some sort were the most likely to have crafted a will for their surviving relatives.
Researchers advised that nursing home, hospice and other end-of-life (EOL) decisions should be made in advance of one's own debilitated health.
"EOL issues need to come to the forefront of planning efforts," Dr. Jaya K. Rao, formerly an associate professor from the University of North Carolina, stated in a press release. "Hopefully, these findings will contribute to the current national conversations about EOL care."
Survey respondents younger than 54 were most likely to report not having made out an advance directive, but nearly one-third (31.7 percent) of those over the age of 55 had also not made out a will.
The most commonly cited reason for not having an advance directive: "I don't know what advance directives are," and second on the list of reasons was "my family knows my wishes."
People with chronic disease or a regular source of care were also most likely to have an advance directive.
Past studies have shown that advance directives are associated with lower levels of Medicare spending and a lower likelihood of dying in a hospital. The prevalence of chronic disease in Americans over the age of 44, combined with an aging US population of Baby Boomers is expected to strain the health care system in coming years.
Minority groups were found to be least likely to have made out a will for their surviving family members.
"For black and Hispanic respondents, advance directives were less frequent across all educational groups, said Dr. Rao. "These data indicate racial and educational disparities in advance directive completion and highlight the need for education about their role in facilitating [end-of-life] decisions."

How the borders of the oceans are marked ?

Those conducting oceanic research generally recognize the existence of three major oceans, the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian. (The Arctic Ocean is considered an extension of the Atlantic.) Arbitrary boundaries separate these three bodies of water in the Southern Hemisphere. One boundary extends southward to Antarctica from the Cape of Good Hope, while another stretches southward from Cape Horn. The last one passes through Malaysia and Indonesia to Australia, and then on to Antarctica. Many subdivisions can be made to distinguish the limits of seas and gulfs that have historical, political, and sometimes ecological significance However, water properties, ocean currents, and biological populations do not necessarily recognize these boundaries. Indeed, many researchers do not either. The oceanic area surrounding the Antarctic is considered by some to be the Southern Ocean.Answered by KARTIKAY SHARMA, 23 Jan '10 08:26 am

These are marked with blue lines on the map.The world's oceans & seas together cover nearly 71% of the earth's surface. Since the oceans are a continuous body of water on the Earth's surface, it is not possible to have clearly demarcated borders between one ocean and another or any other adjacent water body for that matter. Nevertheless, for the convenience of oceanographers and for other practical purposes, it is generally recognized that the huge body of salt water on the Earth's surface is divided into three major oceans - the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean.Answered by chhinder pal, 23 Jan '10 08:04 am

Break It Up
Break It Up
ura won the 'Best Up And Coming Artist' award at the 2011 MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, and were also Danny Kyle Award winners that year. Their powerful music has already created a buzz throughout the traditional music scene and their debut album is eagerly awaited by all.
This five-piece band from the West of Scotland combines the passions and influences of some of Scotland's most exciting young musicians. Among them, they feature three BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Of The Year finalists and an All-Ireland Bodhran Champion.
The album is a fine balance of tunes (including a Pibroch) and songs. The instrumental sets are tight and generate great excitement, while the stunning vocals of the most recent member, Adam Holmes, has brought greater depth to the band.
The album was recorded at the Glo-Worm Studio in Glasgow and was produced by the experienced composer and musician Aidan O'Rourke, who was also a Trad Awards winner in 2011.
Once again Greentrax is at the cutting edge of contemporary young bands pushing traditional music beyond restrictive boundaries. Greentrax is proud to present Rura to a wider audience and a great future for the band is envisaged.
Band members are David Foley (bodhran and flute), Steven Blake (pipes and whistles), Jack Smedley (fiddle), Chris Wade (guitar) and Adam Holmes (singer/songwriter).
by Paul Barr
This young Scottish band are creating a real buzz and it's easy to see when they let it rip with their powerful blend of pipes, fiddle and two guitar rhythm section that is equal to classic bands like the Tannahill Weavers and Ossian.
The tunes are drawn from the Scottish and Irish tradition as well as some of the best contemporty composers. There are moments of quiet beauty too and some very interesting contemporary touches. Singer Adam Holmes contributes two really good original songs that really come alive with the full celtic treatment.
Paul Barr is from Readings Carlton.

Captain America (1944): The Slideshow Review
Captain America was born fighting the Nazis. The first issue came out in March 1941, nine months before the U.S. entered World War II, a time when Hollywood was still timid about making anti-Nazi movies. But Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, in a nascent industry with fewer rules, had no problem at all drawing Cap decking Hitler on their first cover. So what did Hollywood do when they made Cap only the fourth comic-book-based, live-action superhero of the silver screen?
They turned him into this. Where are his wings? Where is his shield? Where's Bucky? None of them made the transfer.
He isn't even Pvt. Steve Rogers. He's Grant Gardner, district attorney. Worse, he doesn't fight the Nazis.
He fights this guy.
With a gun.
He does have this hot number as an assistant. She seems to know Grant is Cap. She also sends the final clue that will make the D.A. (or C.A.) realize who the villain is. She saves the day.
But for most of the serial, she's reduced to this.
And this.
Or she's being hypnotized into doing whatever the Scarab wants. No, he doesn't want that.
There's some cool stuff in the 15 chapters: Cap riding a motorcyle ...
... a few shots that impress.
And it's kinda cool when he changes into Cap ...
Some of the time.
But it is what it is: a 15-chapter movie serial with cliffhangers. The title cards, which are supposed to get us up-to-date at the beginning of each episode, actually demonstrate Cap's complete incompetence.
He tries ...
... and he tries ...
But he keeps failing.
It's like a bad dream. Full review here.

southern africa / the left Wednesday May 07, 2014 19:28 byShawn Hattingh & Jonathan Payn
There has been much hype, amongst the media and sections of the public, in the run up to this years provincial and national elections in South Africa and, for some, the arrival of new parties to the electoral arena has renewed their faith in the possibility of an electoral solution to the myriad of problems facing South Africa. Politicians from across all parties have been using this hype and a seemingly renewed faith in the ballot box to their advantage.The question, therefore, is: can equality, socialism, national liberation or economic freedom or even a respite from state violence for a majority be brought about through parties and activists entering into the state or through voting for parties that promise not to use the state for violent or oppressive means; or will this only lead to a dead-end for the working class yet again?
southern africa / migration / racism Sunday December 15, 2013 23:39 byShawn Hattingh and Lucien van der Walt
The destruction of the apartheid state form, with its odious policies of coercion and racism, was a major triumph for the working class in South Africa and elsewhere, showing that ordinary people can challenge and defeat systems that seem quite unbreakable. Mandela did play a heroic role, but was also the first to admit that It is not the kings and generals that make history but the masses of the people, the workers, the peasants, the doctors, the clergy." And indeed, it was the black working class, above all, that through struggle tore down many features of apartheid by the late 1980s, such as the pass law system, the Group Areas Act and numerous other odious laws and policies.
southern africa / indigenous struggles Thursday February 14, 2013 19:31 byLucien van der Walt
2012 is the centenary of the African National Congress (ANC). The party that started out as a small coterie of black businessmen, lawyers and chiefs is today the dominant political formation in South Africa.It was founded by the black elite who were marginalised by the united South Africa formed in 1910, and who appeared at its Bloemfontein inauguration formally dressed in suits, frock coats, top hats and carrying umbrellas. Today it is allied via the Tripartite Alliance to the SA Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu).
Can the ANC be a vehicle for fundamental, progressive, social change in the interests of the black, Coloured and Indian working classes (proletariat), still mired in the legacy of apartheid and racial domination? This is what Cosatu (and the SACP) suggest.
southern africa / workplace struggles Monday September 17, 2012 17:06 byShawn Hattingh
This article explores, from an anarchist perspective, the sugar industry in southern Africa, and how the two dominant companies - Illovo and Tongaat-Hulett - exploit and oppress workers and communities surrounding their operations.Southern Africa has become well known for being one of the cheapest places to produce sugar. Millions of tons are produced in the region every year and two companies have come to dominate much of this lucrative industry: Illovo Sugar and Tongaat-Hulett, who have once again declared massive annual profits. Illovo and Tongaat-Hullett have publicly claimed that despite their drive to maximise profits and their self-declared goals of becoming the cheapest sugar producers in the world; they have also played a valuable social role in the southern Africa. Both companies have publicly declared that they care deeply about the welfare of workers, claiming they are well paid, respected and valued. And they have repeatedly highlighted their Corporate Social Responsibility programmes, including work around HIV/AIDS and outgrowing schemes. This has all been used by these two companies to argue that they play a very positive role in society.
Unfortunately, much of this is a public relations campaign that is designed to sugar coat the shady practices of these two companies. In reality, both of these companies profits are based on paying abysmal wages.

Joint statement on the Marikana Massacre issued by the Tokologo Anarchist Collective, Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front and Inkululeko Wits Anarchist Collective.
The Constitution promises political rights and equality. It is quite clear that the bosses and politicians do exactly as they wish. They walk on the faces of the people. This is shown by the police killings of strikers at Lonmins Marikana mine.

With the London Marathon taking place this weekend, Emily Maddick – Grazia's resident marathon runner – reveals 5 facts they might not have told you…...
1. You will pee in public, maybe even with your knickers and lycras still on
Getting this fact out the way first ladies, for up until the very moment you start running, you are in denial about these rumours. 'Ewwww, no way!' has been your response upon hearing such lurid urban myths. But trust me. Once you get into it, see the queues for the porter loos; see the hundreds of other lady squatters, public urination will be as normal as necking a Lucozade Sport.
2. You will cry.
So while on the subject of releasing water, tears of every kind will overwhelm you. And at times you least expect it: frustration, joy, ecstasy, euphoria, life-altering epiphanies, self-loathing, near-suicidal thoughts, the tears...oh boy will they come.
3. Forget pedicures for the rest of 2014 and don't even think about buying an open-toe sandal or flip flop this summer.
'I really missed my toe-nails,' said one marathon-running Grazia editor. And so did I. Although it was only the one, but still, nine painted and perfectly polished pinkies ain't the same as ten now is it?.
4. You will wish you had smaller, or even no, boobs at all.
And for that matter, no nipples. Oh, the chafing. The boob pain. The rashes. Lube up and strap up is all I can warn. And when volunteers proffer sweaty-handed lollops of Vaseline at you from the crowd, take it.
5. It will change your life. Forever.
And hopefully the lives of others through your chosen charity. Even if you do a crap time. Even if you find yourself straggling with the Honey Monster or even that dude who does it in a week wearing a Deep Sea Diving Suit, no matter what it takes you to cross the finish line, you can for the rest of your life call yourself a Marathon runner. And that, my friends is pretty cool.
Good luck!

Cookbooks for taking it to the next level?
- p
- pickledgarlic Jul 8, 2008 11:26 AM
Hey gang,
I do own a lot of cookbooks these days (as I'm sure all of you do), some classics, some oddities, some strange used-bookstore finds (the little book of big sandwiches is actually a goldmine)... but I'm always trying to notch my food up to the next level. To make my food less 'busy', simpler (does not mean quicker!), but well better at the end of the day.
My tastes lie more french/italian than anything else, though I have cooked an awful lot of indian and thai when the cravings hit me. I'm more looking at technique, doing simple things well, but also 'fussy' things, plating, building a cohesive meal rather than just one thing. Maybe something simpler than The French Laundry.
Some things I do own: les halles, River Cottage Meat, mastering art of french cooking I and II, the new book of middle eastern food, all about braising, molto mario, charcuterie, new spanish table, the old world kitchen, several Jamie Olivers (I know, I know, but there is a few gems to be found in there), Hazen, a CIA manual (I use mostly for diagrams of cutting up chickens, trussing things, etc), on food and cooking.
I'm not afraid of fussy, getting my hands dirty, or finding good ingredients. I'm ok with pickling, jamming, curing (bacon, hams, etc have had some success in my house), smoking (mostly fish) and I'm getting better at deboning/hacking up larger cuts of things (most of the time).
I've been eyeballing reviews of things by ducasse (but which one?), waters (again, which one?), keller (maybe Bouchon?). I'm sure there are others.
Is there one (or several) decent cookbooks out there for the determined amateur wanting to bring the food up to the next level, rather than "quick easy short-cut 20 minutes only" blah cookbooks. I've had several breakthroughs this year and "ah-ha!" moments which have only made me rethink what I'm cooking and how I'm doing it. Food blogs and local restaurants have made me think more about how I present it, and things that work together, rather than just 'following' a recipe. I like to know why.. how... more inspirational works rather than just a list of ingredients and directions.
What was the cookbook that really solidified your cooking skills? I'm trying to become more intuitive with my cooking, better at creating a cohesive meal (or 2-3 courses), less following a checklist of recipes. I mean, this comes naturally just by cooking new things, often, but maybe there is some text(s) that I would find very useful.
A cook's book has been mentioned elsewhere, but I browsed there it and found it wanting. Has anyone had any experience with Jame's Peterson (Cooking, or Sauces, or both?)? Anything by Ducasse worth-while?
Sunday Suppers at Lucques by Suzanne Goins. Here is the COTM thread:
Also, Zuni Cafe by Judy Rodgers
Zuni has great directions and is extremely well written, which makes it accessible to cooks of all abilities. Lucques is a bit fussier but equally as delicious.
Edited to add: Zuni takes comfort food to a whole different level with a combination of technique and emphasis on fresh ingredients.
re: beetlebug
I heartily second the recommendations for Sunday Suppers at Lucques and Zuni Cafe Cookbook. Both have really thorough methodology and spectacular recipes. I would also suggest Alice Waters' The Art of Simple Food.
I would say the book that took me to the "next level," would have to have been Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. While an "oldie," it's still a great resource for technique and food preparation.
re: DanaB
Me three on Sunday Suppers at Lucques and Zuni Cafe Cookbook, but for Waters books, I'd go with Chez Panisse Vegetables, Chez Panisse Fruit, etc
I find the new one "The Art of.." too basic for envelope pushing.
As for your "What was the cookbook that really solidified" question
Zuni has been a real "tipping point" book for me, pushing and solidifying my own intuitive inclinations.
I recently bought the French laundry/Bouchon set and I did find it inspiring--Bouchon slightly more so. (I found it odd that in FL Keller wrote that he preferred Atlantic salmon to Pacific, especially since I am in Seattle). I made a couple French Laundry recipes--they both tasted great and yes they were fussy. The journey was definitely half the fun.
Another book I got years ago is called from Simple to Spectacular, by Mark Bittman with Jean-Georges Vongritchen (sp?). they take an ingredient or a dish and make it four ways--from the somplest to most elaborate. there may be an Asian spin in the middle, or whatnot. The recipes are clear and not too fussy, and it is fun to see the different variations on the same there.
I like Patricia Wells and her Provence cookbooks, she makes good use of what's fresh, which can be motivating.
I have Peterson's Vegetable book and use it as a reference. I don't make many recipes just straight though.
ANd a final thought. I have a book by Stephan Pyles on Texas cooking (again from years ago). He has some really fussy recipes, but they can be quite good. But Rick Bayless is still tops for me for Mexican.
re: cocktailhour
I second "Simple to Spectacular." It will most certainly help you bring it to the next level. I picked it up after working in the kitchens for some time and it still is the only cookbook I know that does a nice job of replicating the thought process that most cooks start developing via working in a professional kitchen. Excellent for anyone interested in learning how to develop recipes and start thinking like a pro.
Once you are comfortable with the process of developing your own recipes, the next cookbook to buy would be "Culinary Artistry." It has pages and pages of charts listing flavor combinations that work well. The charts are organized by main ingredient, i.e. shrimp, artichokes, cherries. It's great when you have a lot of one ingredient, have an idea of how you want to prepare it, and just need to know what flavors to add to complement the main ingredient. The authors describe the charts as replicating the knowledge that most professional cooks tend to absorb/intuit after years of cooking. I couldn't agree more.
"Culinary Artistry" is very much like what you are looking for in terms of it not being just a list of ingredients and a recipe. There are some recipes in it, but I've never used them. Think of it more as a set of guidelines to keep you headed in the right direction.
Cocktailhour mentioned Rick Bayless and I have to agree that he is tops when it comes to Mexican. His first cookbook changed how I looked at Mexican cooking, but his sauces can be challenging and require a lot of time and equipment. He offers nice suggestions for substituting ingredients and making different variants of each recipe, but his advice is somewhat recipe-specific and I don't think will broaden your horizons in quite the same way as "Simple to Spectacular."
I think I am in a very similar situation, and am looking for the exact same thing as you, although you have articulated it much better than I am able to.
The only help I can give is that I have Peterson's Essentials of Cooking, and it is spectacular. If he had another book, similar in style but at a more advanced level, I think that would fit the bill. The great thing about Peterson, is that there are only a few actual recipes, but lots of detail on technique and variations.
I had Bouchon from the library for a while -- it's really good, with solid well-written recipes. I learned some technique from it (e.g. pate choux), but it is still more single-recipe driven than what I was looking for.
Anyway, I hope you get some good suggestions.
I don't know whether you're into this, but Heidi Swanson's "Super Natural Cooking" has pushed me outside of "the box" and taught me a lot about cooking with more wholesome ingredients. The book is chock-full of recipes, but also provides useful (and motivating) education on how to substitute healthier wholesome ingredients into your old-stanby favorite recipes. My personal favorite is the one on making risotto with barley instead of rice for a more nutritious yet equally satisfying meal.
re: rouxmaker
I find barley 'risotto' not just to be equally satisfying, but all-around better!
re: rouxmaker
that's the direction my interest -- and cooking -- is taking me lately: cooking wholesome, whole grain, low glycemic, and seasonal/local foods.
Couldn't agree more about barley. Good and good for you! I make w/ dried shitakes -- easy to reconstitute and so healthy.
No apologies for Jamie Oliver--I think he's done wonders for British cooking, and his books are really good. Nothing wrong with making real food simple.
I really don't do books that are very exacting about step-by-step directions; I need to be a little more intuitive. I'd recommend another Brit, Nigel Slater. His book Appetite is really good for promoting intuitive cooking. Recipes are very good but uncomplicated, and each one gives a couple of variations that you can play around with.
Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything does something similar, with suggested variations and menus.
I also love the River Cafe books, particularly the Green one, because it gives me good ideas for vegetarian cooking. I'm not a vegetarian, but I like to limit my meat consumption. That book has been fantastic in that regard.
In addition to the recommendations from the previous posters, check out Bistro Laurent Tourondel: New American Bistro Cooking; if you have interest in TFL cookfook you'll love this one and I think it's a bit more approachable. Stunning photography and great recipes.
I recently asked a friend of mine a similar question (he is an executive chef at a NYC restaurant) and he suggested Tom Colicchio's "Think Like a Chef." It's more a technique book than anything, but you expressed an interest in going back to basics and simplifying. He discusses techniques, and then offers recipes. I have only wishfully flipped through it, but it looked great, and amazon.com reviews by foodie sounding folks sound promising...
Have fun cookbook shopping!
re: aspiringourmet
I think that is a wonderful book - I know TDQ asked me a while back why I think so and I never replied. I'll try to pull out the book, but as you say, it covers both techniques - as applied to different proteins - and also ingredient combinations. I wouldn't say it's more a technique book though - the recipes really are fabulous, though I agree that the discussions about technique are a key part of the usefulness of the book.
re: MMRuth
HA! What a fabulous memory you have. I would love to do Think Like a Chef as COTM one of these months... sounds very interesting.
re: MMRuth
Here's an old post with some recipes that I made:
English, Todd and Sally Simpson. 1997. The Olive's Table. New York: Simon & Schuster.
Bocuse, Paul. 1977. Paul Bocuse's French Cooking. New York: Random House.
Sally Schneider has a couple of books that might be of interest, 'A New Way to Cook' and 'The improvisational cook'. In the ImpCook, each chapter is organized around an innovative dish or technique and variations. One for example is 'leek noodles' - leeks cut into strips, braised, and finished with a flavored oil (walnut?). Sally has been a guest on The Splendid Table several times. You probably can find some of her recipes there.
I highly recommend Secret Ingredients: The Magical Process of Combining Flavors (Paperback) by Michael Roberts (Author) -- The recipes are good to great, but the discussion of flavor combining is thought-provoking, easy to follow and unparalleled elsewehre, I think.
Another one that really took my cooking to the next level is Real Stew, by Clifford Wright. It's international peasant food that is a pleasure to cook, serve and eat. I also find myself using it as a reference when I am cooking something from another recipe..."how would clifford make bouillibaise?" (His Mediterranean Feast is in a different category, but a fun "bedside tome". )
I also love Sunday Suppers - particularly because I live in L.A., near the farmers' markets that Suzanne Goin has access to. I tend to make one or two recipes at a time, not the whole menu. But her menu approach is inspiring and tasty.
I also enjoy several Patricia Wells cooksbooks (my go to is Patricia Wells cooks at home.) Someone gave me Simple to Spectacular, and I think I will have to actually start using it next - based on these reviews.
I have Sally Schneider New Way to Cook, and although I have tried many recipes over the last few years, nothing "moves" me. Maybe check this one out of the library before buying it?
re: ElissaInPlaya
Second the recommendation for Sally Schneider's books, especially The Improv Cook - it has really changed the way I think about cooking.... I am really enjoying New Way to Cook as well, especially as I try to cut back on fats in my cooking. (I curse the day I decided to drop in the doctor's office for a quick cholestoral test. Ignorance was bliss!) Elissa's idea of checking them out in the library first is a good one!
You don't hear from me very often, but I'm emerging from lurkdom to recommend two cookbooks--decades apart--that can help your cooking step up a notch:
*"Michael Field's Cooking School" is unfortunately out of print now. Try to locate a copy and then appreciate the excellent explanations and fine recipes that he has included. This book is like he's in your kitchen, talking to you as you cook.
*"Lidia's Family Table"--Lidia Bastianich's recipes are written as meticulously as Julia Child's. Very nice dishes, very clear instructions. I have another of LB's books (Lidia's Italy) that I don't like as much. This one is excellent.
re: ChesterhillGirl
I too really like Lidia's Family Table. The recipes in it are the closest to the ones I learned while cooking in Florence! She descries a type of dish, and then offers many recipes/variations on it, with alternative suggestions, etc... so the dish is really just a a jumping off point.
Happy in the Kitchen by Michel Richard. Some good challenges, some wild ideas, texture and results. Fun to cook from and techincally sound. Innovative, but dishes are made with items you'd pick up at the farmer's market. I'll also second Zuni Cafe and also add Shirley Corriher's Cookwise.
re: Richard L
Yes - Kamman's book is a wonderful resource, and one that I ought to use more often.
re: MMRuth
MMRuth, are there any other books that you would recommend, either COTM or otherwise? Your depth of knowledge, willingness to branch out, and generosity in sharing help to make this board a great resource, and your recommendations are always helpful.
re: MMRuth
I tend to take a bit from here and there (the net, magazines, my own spin on general trends), and feel like I could benefit from being a bit more focused. Like most people my cooking has evolved over the years and in the past I used some classics like Joy of Cooking and modern classics like Silver Palate, but tend now to work with intuition and am a bit too quick to put my own spin on a recipe without trying it first. I cook from many different traditions, but know that good classical technique is the base to start from. Any books that you've found helpful would be great!
Simply French: Patricia Wells Presents the Cuisine of Joël Robuchon.
A compendium of recipes from or inspired by Robuchon's former three-star restaurant Jamin, with emphasis on the principles that make his cooking special. Some are unbelievably simple, others more involved, some fancy, others homey. Several have become part of my repertoire.
The Chez Panisse cookbooks are worthwhile. Chez Panisse Cooking is probably the most explanatory from a technique standpoint, with Paul Bertolli providing lots of why along with the how.
re: carswell
I've got this as well - the grilled chicken with hot mustard is amazing, as is the guinea fowl on a bed of potatoes. I need to explore it more.
I find no end of inspiration and fantastic explanation in The Larousse Gastronomique. Where Julia gives you a pretty good selection of recipes that you won't screw up, the Larousse is the opposite. It's encyclopedic, tries to cover all areas of French food, and gives you long descriptions of background and technique alongside very very condensed recipes, usual several for a given dish, and often citing some very old sources in addition to modern ones. If I had to give up all my other books, this is the one I'd keep.
You say you have "Hazen", not sure what that means, but if it doesn't mean Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, go get it.
Paul Bertolli's Cooking By Hand is a must.
We think that a very under-rated but fabulous cookbook is The Elements of Taste by Gray Kunz. He has a fascinating way of looking at the different "elements" -- salty, sweet, sour, bitter, etc., and using them to enhance his dishes. Of course we love his amazing short ribs, which we've had at his restaurants, but to actually make the recipe, which has some truly complex parts to it, is to understand the "elements" of taste. Gray hasn't gone for the celebrity thing like so many chefs, but in my opinion he is brilliant and original, and has a lot to teach the home cook.
I would say just to keep on doing what you're doing. Surely you've been inspired and had your juices going by reading book, blogs, ect.
Of course, working in a professional kitchen would also be a great experience. Having to be FORCED to have good knife skills, good sanitation and organizational skills would really help you in the home kitchen. You seem to have a good amount of time on your hands; I think it's a viable suggestion. My kitchen etiquette (or lack of) is totally different after working in the kitchen for just a couple weeks.
Cordon Bleu's "Professional Cooking" and "Advanced Professional Cooking" have been eye openers for me. Get the trade editons, they're half the price of the student editions.
I recently bought Mark Bittman's The Best Recipes in the World and am doing my best to read through it, bookmarking various must-make recipes. It's an enormous compendium of around the works cooking and what I've read so far is really enticing.
But I must say, since I have finally taken Jacques' and Julia's companion book to their PBS program of the late '90's..."Jacques and Julia Cooking at Home" off the shelf I find it to be one of the most complete cookbooks I have ever seen. Two versions of the same recipe from two different perspectives, with techniques to match. The sidebar notes alone are worth their weight in Almas Beluga.

Houston would sooner shop Johnson to an NFC squad, and we imagine that Johnson would be willing to re-do his deal to ease Carolina's cap. This scenario would furnish Johnson with a bona fide franchise passer in Cam Newton while instantly solving the team's lack of proven playmakers at the position. Andre and rookie Kelvin Benjamin would form a fascinating duo.

Dying Light
Posted by: Anonymous on Friday August 08, 2014 (12:47:31)
(Hey! Did I spot some Free Running there?!)
Techland's succes of Dead Island will hopefully brings us something new.
Dying Light started out as a Dead Island sequel, but Techland made it a complete new video game because it would contain brand new features, such as a massive open world, new zombies, real time day/night cycle, better graphics, and new game mechanics. On May 8, 2014 Techland announced that the game was delayed due to a "desire to innovate". At E3 2014, Techland announced that Dying Light will have a strong emphasis on role-playing.
In Dying Light, a first-person, action survival horror game, players must use everything in their power to survive until the morning's first light in a vast open world filled with danger. During the day, players will traverse an expansive urban environment overrun by a vicious outbreak, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting weapons to defend against the growing infected population. At night, the hunter becomes the hunted, as the infected become aggressive and more dangerous. Most frightening are the predators which only appear after sundown.
When Dying Light is released in 2015, it will be published by WB. The 100-year-old company, publisher of the Batman: Arkham games, has given Techland full creative control over Dying Light. It will be released when Techland decides to release it (the game's release date was officially pushed, by Techland, from late 2014 into 2015), and will be the game Techland wants it to be. more ...
Year Of The Shadowrun
Posted by: AgentAnderson on Friday July 19, 2013 (03:11:10)
Shadowrun Returns. Literally.
The world has changed…
Magic is no longer just for fairy tales. It's real. While technology has merged with flesh to challenge the strength of old world sorcery. Now people are more than just people; after an unexplained genetic event, some of them have developed traits that have left them labeled as elves, dwarfs, orks, and trolls. And dragons aren't just in picture books–they're very real, and they're running nations and some of the biggest corporations in the world.
People call it the Sixth World, and it's not a friendly place. Mega corporations have ruthlessly consolidated power, and they make everyone, from the lowliest sage slave to the most powerful government leader, dance to their tune. Many people sell their lives to these megacorps, believing they have no choice. But there are a few who have the skills, the guts and the nerve to stay independent, finding a way to live in the gray areas of a world not built for them. They can survive–and if they're real lucky–thrive in the corners and shadows of the world. They're outlaws, but they're tolerated by the powers of the world because they're useful. They are called shadowrunners.
The Shadowrun universe has been around since the late 80's in many forms. From its' roots as a pen and paper role playing game, to video games across various consoles and PC generations, to collectible card games and fairly large miniature games.
Technology and magic mix with different races to create a unique future universe with lots of action and destruction. Here in 2013, they are upgrading the Shadowrun universe for 3 different platforms. Already out is the 5th Edition of the Shadowrun RPG. Later this year is another release of a card game, although not so collectible. That brings us to next week, July 25th... Shadowrun Returns!
It will hopefully be a true successor to the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games from the 90's. Even though it is a single player game, it looks to be another great turn-based tactical RPG.

Terror. Violence. Madness. Bedlam.
A tropical island turns into total chaos after a mysterious zombie outbreak.
The player is cast as a guest vacationing at the posh hotel. When the zombie outbreak occurs, he and a handful of other guests remain uninfected. Cut off from the rest of the world, the player's only chance to survive is to fight to the death and find a way to escape the island, but along the way, they'll uncover the secret behind the mysterious outbreak.

You'll meet with your surgeon before surgery to talk about the procedure. Doctors who specialize in removing bone and soft tissue tumors are called orthopedic oncology surgeons. When you meet with your surgeon, you can ask any questions and address any concerns you have. Here are some questions to ask your surgeon:
What are the risks of having this surgery?
Are there alternatives to surgery?
How many surgeries like this have you performed?
How will the surgery change my appearance?
What can I do to make it easier to return to my normal activities after surgery?
When can I return to work, go to school, drive, and resume recreational activities?
What are the possible side effects of the surgery?
Will the surgery change how active I can be?
Will I need any type of rehabilitation therapy after surgery?
Will I need other treatments before or after surgery?
What are the chances this will cure the cancer?
What are the chances my cancer will come back? If it does, where is it likely to return? What would we do if this happens?
Before the surgery, the surgeon will find out if you are taking any medications. The surgeon will also go over your medical records and may order certain tests to make sure you don't have any other health problems that could affect your surgery. You should tell your primary care doctor, or any other specialist you have, such as a cardiologist, of your upcoming surgery. Then, they can clear you for upcoming surgery. After you have discussed all of the details with the surgeon, you will sign a permission or consent form that allows the doctor to do the surgery. You should understand exactly what is planned to be done during the surgery before signing the permission or consent form.

Thanks again for sending me this beer BrewPastor. This was the best stout I have ever had so far.
I am ready to do a RIS...BP, which one of yours would you recommend? I want a pretty much exact replica of the St. George's RIS--best commercial beer I've ever had.
I am sending off beer this week, your box is finally going out. <gasp!> I threw a St. George's Russian Imperial in it--want your opinion on a potential recipe. Or which of yours is closest to it. I'm thinking it will be this one.
I look forward to tasting the St. Georges. As for my recipes, I like them both, but am entering the Dark Night in the AHA. The Unorthodox is stronger and more leaned towards the malt. It does kick.
I will wait to taste the St George's and see what I think, if you can wait that long! Have you had Stones RIS? It is a seasonal (June or July) but man I think it is amazing. Of course I have not had any Stone brew I did not like.
I love the Stone RIS. I haven't had one since the last time they released it last year, but I remember it being very chocolatey. One of my favorites is North Coast's Old Rasputin. I didd the clone out of Beer Captured and it's pretty close, but not the same as the original.
How many gallons do you have prior to boil?
Girl, you thought he was a man, but he really was a muffin....
Brewpastor, I'm giving this bad boy a try today. Im very excited. I had to change the hops a bit to warrier, I also upped them up a bit to make it a bit more hoppy. I will change the overall picture of this massive beer, but I like them very complex. I have a lot of water to boil down so wish me luck.
Do u hit 75% eff. with all this grain? I am hoping for 65% and than I will be happy. I upped the grain bill to overcome. If I have to add DME than I will but I am hoping I can avoid this.
Primary: DFH 60 IPA
Secondaty: Blond Ale, Apfelwine, Crandaddy mead
Bottle: Blue moon clone,Kolsch, Eds House Ale, Barley wine, Stone IPA, Oatmeal stout, Hefe,
Drinking: 60 minute IPA, Honkers Ale, Wheat, cherry wheat, Appfelwine,
On Deck: Imperial Stout,
I'm planning to brew a huge stout in about two weeks and this one looks like it's right up my alley; very strong, complex, but not overly hoppy. Does anyone out there have tasting notes on this beer to help with my recipe decision? Also, if I'd like to brew this in a 5-gallon batch, is it a simple as using 50% of all the ingredients?
Why the low sac rest temp?

3 Responses to "Caravan for Peace With Justice and Dignity" Stops in Houston
You forgot to mention the series of radio programs broadcast on Houstons own KPFT 90.1 FM each Sunday evening at 6:30 to 7:30 PM. We have 6 half hour shows posted so far about the Caravan for Peace and will have at least 3 more before we are done. I have traveled since August 12 with the Caravan since San Diego. Traveling thus far thru 11 states and 22 cities, we are currently in Cleveland Ohio, headed for NYC in the morning. Then on to Baltimore and finally Wash DC on Sep 10, 11 and 12.
Click on the website link to listen to these programs.
Been reporting on the drug war for more than 10 years for KPFT and scores of broadcast affiliates in the US and Canada and I'm just glad you gave the Caravan respect
Thank you,
Dean Becker
Dean Becker — Thank you for your decade of tireless work on this issue and for reporting from the caravan on Houston's airwaves. I have been a long-time listener and fan of your weekly show as well as the daily 4:20 update. I meant no personal slight–my article just ran long at over 1,600 words (when I was aiming for 1,000), so please forgive me.
In case readers missed Becker's link, once again, you can find his reports from on the road with the caravan here: http://www.drugtruth.net/cms/
Additionally, Nuestra Palabra will be airing unedited interviews with caravan participants (survivors of drug war violence) when their program returns from election-coverage-exile next Tuesday, from 7:30 – 8:30 pm on 90.1 FM, KPFT.
Hope Sanford — Thank you, too, for your work on this caravan, and also for your kind words.
Thanks, SuperHerb for excellent, comprehensive coverage of this event. You've made the stories personal & public for the many in Houston who were not there and you conveyed the pain these folks endure and the GUTS it's gotta take to unite & tell these unbearable stories. Lotta folks cried hearing them and I hafta hope that the connecting with all of us all across the US can bring about policy changes AND can work toward healing the profound damage caused by the deaths of their loved ones. Oh, and of course Lianna's pics are dynamite. Really, thanks- this Caravan is important and you did it justice.
