If you are a curry lover then please give this a try, I have made this many times in the past, it is delicious! I like to add in spinach but that is only optional. I have only used basmati rice for this dish (I purchase a 12 ounce box of basmati rice) but you may use white uncooked rice also, personally I really think that this dish is worth making with basmati only. To make this extra special sprinkle I have sprinkled it with toasted almonds before serving. Use a good-quality coconut milk for this! This can also be made with cubed chicken breast, but pork is better, and the complete recipe can be doubled, you might want to cut the water back by 1/4 cup if you are doubling the recipe use only 3/4 cup water.

Eating out with a baby-Triangle/Triad NC
- b
- brokegradstudent Sep 4, 2012 06:46 PM
Hi everyone-
My wife and I are expecting our first kid any day now. While this is going to change just about every part of our life, we're hoping it won't end our lives (temporarily) as people who eat for fun.
In that vein- does anyone have experience with restaurants in the Triangle/Triad that are particularly baby friendly/unfriendly.
Now, we're not proposing fine dining at 8:15 on a Saturday or a bar on Franklin street at 10:30pm on Thursday. More like, casual dinner/snack/drink early in the service or at off times.
We don't want to put restaurants into a tough situation or impose our set of choices on our fellow diners (an eternal fear of being "those people"). Instead, we're looking for places where the staff are pretty open to the concept and where it makes sense for the vibe of the place
For instance, the General Store and Pub out here in Saxapahaw are both very welcoming.
I'm curious as well. Since you're posting on this forum I assume you're not into chains. I was not. We had our first baby girl exactly 7 weeks ago, and leading up to her due date we crammed in as many hip/fine dining as we could.
Now that we have her, we haven't been back to the Nana's and Lanterns of the area. We're scared to be the rude parents with a screaming monster. Although I do have a theory now that a baby/newborn might do pretty well in a fairly noisy restaurant. I hear it's common for a baby to find it easy to sleep when surrounded by white noise, and that's been my observation with my girl. I'll tell you where we've been since she was born. I'm assuming it's not the list you're looking for:
1. Cici's - We fit right in.
2. Mellow Mushroom. She pretty much slept through the dinner. No problem to report.
3. Moe's - There's a changing table the bathroom.
4. Vita - I believe this is the only independently owned restaurant we've taken her so far. We went there because I remember there being outdoor seating, and I figured we'd annoy fewer people. It worked out just like that, but she was mostly asleep. And when she cried we were outside so one of us could entertain her pretty freely. If I were to comment on the food, I'd say that the cocktails were weak and the pasta(dry)/pizza(bland) were so-so, but people were nice, and I enjoyed the bruschetta and I'm no bruschetta fan. I believe bruschetta is actually an italian slang for "waste of $7-$9", but here it was pretty good(and actually it was like $5). I have no idea how authentic it is. I like how they used the oil, vinegar, garlic and tomato on this one. Perhaps drenched, is how I'd describe it, but in a good way and it wasn't soggy. Also, it's pretty cheap. $41 plus tip for 2 drinks, 1 app and 2 entrees.
5. Mateo - Went there while MIL was watching our baby. I don't see it as a baby-friendly place.
Congratulations brokegradstudent and wife!!! I'm thrilled for you. The good news is that this is truly a lot easier if you start them early and stick to some rules early on that help them learn how to be good diners. And yes, dining at an early hour is always a good idea.
The first few months are actually really easy. Bring the baby into the place in his/her carseat and gently rock back and forth. Should give you an hour or two of peace while you eat and baby sleeps. Once this period is over comes the indoctrination part. You can take the baby with you almost anywhere (Lantern wasn't thrilled to have Lulu there in her first year, but she behaved the whole time so they didn't complain) as long as the moment baby starts to cry one of you gets up and takes the baby outside. Once the crying stops, you can go back in. Keep doing this and the baby will realize quickly that the fun is inside and that not crying means being with the fun. And you don't irritate the other customers. And then, you really can go anywhere.
That said, here are places that we go and have been going since Lulu was a baby: Panzanella, Tylers, Squids, Talullah's, Glasshalful, Vin Rouge, 501 Diner, Akai Hana, Merlion. There are more but these are ones that come immediately to mind, and were all more than happy to have your business with a kid in tow. Magnolia Grill used to have a sign up that said no children allowed, but that is the only place I've seen it implicitly stated. There are so many kids in this area that I think restaurants know they sort of have to deal with it.
It will work out just fine, and I'm thrilled for you.
Like the replies before, the first couple of months are the best time to go before schedules become too set. I think you would be fine at the Lanterns/Nanas/Watts sooner rather than later.
What everyone else said. I'd also add that in the toddler years we tended to go either for an early dinner or a late lunch so that the restaurant would be quieter and the staff would be less harried. I have to say, though, that there are quite a few restaurants to whom we owe spoons. It turned out that playing with a spoon entertained our kid no end and more than a few ended up wedged in the car seat, only to be found days later.
I never really cared what the staff or other patrons thought about our having a baby or small child in a restaurant. However, we were always quick to remove the kid if she started crying or fussing and we were sure to leave a "baby tip" when she made a bad mess.
The only restaurant we avoided was Magnolia Grill and that was due to the length of the meals there. We felt that she wasn't up to sitting still for that long and we also wanted at least one place that was "just ours." We did get her there before they closed and she was annoyed we hadn't done it sooner.
re: rockycat
Yes, yes, spoons or at least something (a baggie full of cheerios before they start eating much with you, crayons, something fuzzy but small) for the little hands to do. And engage the child in conversation once he or she is able. Make sure she's part of the whole event and it'll be much more exciting for her.
And please remember to clean up after if there are leftover cheerios, etc. And yes on the "baby tip."
ask for the check as soon as your entrees arrive. that way, you can make a quick exit if things fall apart faster than you expect/hope :)
most places have those high chairs, which you can flip upside down and put the carseat in if you want the baby at eye level. however, the last time we were at a place in carrboro, we were warned by the waiter that those are still not 100% safe.
if you are into babywearing, you can jiggle the baby to sleep, and wear the baby during your meal. i remember dripping garlic soup on my son's head at toast - whoops!
re: cervisiam
babywearing is fantastic on an airplane!
While left to my own devices I prefer establishments that are quiet where I can hold a nice conversation, I search for the opposite when dining with a baby. Anywhere with a constant din is easier to take a baby and/or small children. It doesn't have to be a chain. Plenty of trendy places are noisy. Failing a steady din, anywhere you can eat outdoors is usually a win.
I agree with everyone else. After you're done staying home (I think we stayed home three weeks), the early days are the easiest to go to restaurants. Then once you introduce Cheerios, those days aren't bad. A new eater will happy eat one Cheerio a minute for a whole meal.
After that, you need somewhere that is not only noisy, but relatively quick. I can't take my kids to any meal that is two hours, and we rarely make it long enough for dessert anywhere. If I have prepared well, and the meal is reasonably fast, we can have time for a main course with an appetizer and/or dessert. I don't ask for the check when I order, but I do ask for the check as soon as the main course is delivered. I also pay early, in case I suddenly want to leave quickly.
I disagree about indoctrinating and training children to eat out with you. While I am all for training children, my experience has been that they're all different. One of ours was trainable, one of ours IS NOT. Your success (or not) in going out to eat will largely depend on the baby.
We had friends whose baby slept every time they went out to eat. One of our babies cried every time we went out to eat. You'll figure it out! I would suggest restaurants, but I find that anywhere that has a children's menu is a fine place to bring children. Anywhere that doesn't have a children's menu is somewhere that other people patronize specifically to avoid children.
re: limona
Definitely agree about the noise factor. We've been taking our daughter- now 3- to "non kid" places for a while, but we always base it on noise and try to go early enough to avoid interrupting anyone's date night. We've had success with Coquette, especially for lunch/ brunch. I also agree with the need to be able to make a quick exit. We've had to get boxes and dash before.
Another thing I look for is the table setup. If they're all high, pub style tables, or if the place doesn't offer highchairs at all, I take it as a hint.
re: limona
While I generally agree with most everything you've said, limona, I most emphatically do not agree with your assessment of restaurants with children's menus. We've always felt that most restaurants (with a few notable exceptions, none of which are in the Triangle) which have children's menus are NOT places we wanted to bring our child. Not that I have anything against hot dogs, per se. It's just that when I want to give my kid a hot dog, it will be at home, at the ball park, or someplace like Char-Grill or Roast Grill, not a nice restaurant where the adults are eating "real" food and the kids are eating "kids" food.
I have a problem with the contents of kids menus in general. They are usually not smaller portions of the adult menu. They are usually hot dogs, mac & cheese, and chicken fingers. A particularly adventurous one might even have spaghetti with butter.
No ethnic restaurants in the area that I'm aware of have kids menus yet most of those restaurants are packed with families with kids. The children eat the same things their parents eat or, as we've experienced, less spicy versions of the same dishes.
Please don't use the presence of a kids' menu as a measure of a restaurant's suitability for children. There's no substitute for knowing your own child's behavior and likes and dislikes. I'll get off my soapbox now and apologize for the rant as, unfortunately, you've hit one of my major foodie hot buttons.
re: rockycat
Ha. I don't like my children to eat hot dogs, either. In fact, I almost never feed them off the children's menu. But I find the presence of a children's menu indicative that it is fine to bring children along with me. A children's menu also generally means they will have a highchair.
re: rockycat
Places like Glasshalful or Tallulah's, which have small plates (but no children's menus) are especially good. Lots of kids size portions, lots of different tastes. And even if a place doesn't have a kids menu, but you know that your child likes pasta with butter and parmesan (or some fairly easy thing to prepare) a lot of places will make them for you if you ask nicely.
re: LulusMom
and when your kids get older, you have these types of adventures to look forward to at a restaurant!

If you take a walk across the North
Florida Community College campus in Madison, Fla. you will find public art
works that include a colorful mosaic mural depicting a forest scene complete
with metal sculpture flowers planted in front at NFCC's Hardee Center for the
Arts, a metal sculptured sea turtle near the entrance of the college library, a metal sculpture inspired by Florida's regional plants perched upon a hill
near NFCC's Van H. Priest Auditorium and a six-foot mosaic terrazzo table located on the library's outdoor patio. Each piece was created with the help of
area professional artists who worked directly with NFCC students on the projects.
North Florida Community College art students received first-hand
experience in building a metal sculpture from the ground up while working with professional
sculptor Brad Cooley Jr. of the Lamont, Fla. based business Bronze by Cooley
which specializes in life size and monumental sculptures. Cooley, an NFCC
alumnus, is donating his time and labor to the student project and said he is
glad to be on campus sharing his talent and knowledge with students.
Cooley worked with the NFCC Art Club and NFCC art instructor Lisa Thompson to collect recycled pieces of metal, creating the sculpture
design – a sea turtle – and welding the base and interior structure of the
sculpture into place.
The sculpture is permanently located near NFCC's Marshall
Hamilton Library (Bldg. 4) – a prime location for students and campus visitors
alike to enjoy the piece of art.
North Florida Community College Art Club members created a mosaic mural at NFCC's Hardee Center for the Arts.
The students not only learned mural creation and mosaic techniques, but
are worked closely with professional artist Linda Hall of Tallahassee.
Hall teaches Environmental Art at Florida State University and is lending her
expertise in environmental themed art and mural creation to the project.
The Hardee
Center mural features a mosaic nighttime forest scene. Artist Marshall
Norris of Greenville, Fla. is also creating a variety of metal sculpture
flowers to be added as landscape art; making a creative path leading up to the
In 2012 NFCC Art Instructor Mark Dickson helped students fabricate and install a public
sculpture on the NFCC campus entitled
"Forest Totems." The metal scupture incorporated hands-on learning sessions to get students involved with the
project from start to finish.
The metal
sculpture is permanently located near NFCC's Van H. Priest Auditorium; a
prime location for students and campus visitors alike to enjoy the work. Much
of the recycled materials being used in the sculpture project and learning
sessions was donated by local business Madison Scrap Metal.
Dickson's sculpture is a
wonderfully modern and contemporary interpretation of Florida fauna.
The latest addition to NFCC's
impressive public art collection is a six-foot mosaic terrazzo table created by
Tallahassee artist Ira Hill. Featuring vibrant colors and a koi pond theme, the
table has been placed at an outdoor study and gathering area for students near
NFCC's Marshall W. Hamilton Library. The piece can function as a table or as a
sitting area for students and campus visitors.
The table is constructed of terrazzo,
a decorative concrete made of cement, sand and glass, using 100% recycled
glass. Hill spent around 60 hours making the table and started with the simple
process of sorting and crushing the glass. The process then included creating
the specific design, creating molds and polishing the terrazzo stone to
highlight the glass aggregate. Terrazzo has a long history in building and is
often associated with Art Deco Design.
NFCC Art Instructor Mark Dickson and crew installed a new sculpture at NFCC's Morris G. Steen Science and Learning Center that will serve as the base for NFCC's radio telescope. The telescope, which will be hoisted up and fitted on a pole, will be located at the top of the sculpture. NFCC Astronomy Instructor Dr. Guenter Maresch's played a key role in developing this unique project that combines art and science.
The newest addition to NFCC's
impressive public art collection is a vibrant mural by Janae Easton of Tallahassee, FL. The mural intitled "The Trumpeting Flower", is located on the east wall of the Developmental Education/Mathematics Classroom in Building 6.

Why do waiters wait behind you while you're paying the bill?
Having been to Hong Kong a few times now, the custom of having a waiter stand right behind you after presenting the bill no longer seems odd (I've even seen it happen a few times in the Bay Area). Even the more old-fashioned practice of the waiting holding out your change and not letting go is no longer a shock.
But my question is this - how did this custom originate?
Actually, I prefer the waiters to wait after presenting the bill (at least to see if I am going to pay immediately).... since a lot of times when I am finished I am ready to leave immediately.
I suspect the "custom" though has more to do speeding up turnover of tables.....
re: KSlink
Maybe to suggest to the diner that *they* should let go and leave it in the waiter's clutches - and maybe even add more from his (the diner's) wallet? :-D
re: KSlink
I guess it's a guilt trip maneuver - you've already paid the 10% service charge, but you feel bad if you take away change that's yours. You feel even worse if you're not familiar with the coins and are "pressured" to act quickly so you don't accidentally leave them the 10's.
#1 To Make sure you pay and don't skip out---waiters often are responsible for those whi skip
#2 To turn the table faster
#3 To increase the tip by being attentive to the end of your visit
If they follow you to the cash register if you pay there and not to the server
#4 To make sure the cashier/hostess/manager doesn't take a cut of the tip you leave
#5 Same as #1
re: bagelman01
Since we're talking about HK, #3 probably doesn't apply since all places either charge the mandatory 10% or nothing at all.
Have to say, I've never really noticed that it's happened. We usually want to glance over the bill to check that it's right and I'm sure I would have notcied if a server was hovering around
I've personally never had a waiter stand by the table while I pay the bill. They've always dropped the bill folder and then walked away to give me time to look at it and pay.
Most responders here probably are referring to their experiences in the West/Europe when they say they have never had a waiter hover when presenting the bill, I think? The OP refers to the practice in Hong Kong...and occasionally in San Francisco & environs...
I seem to remember this phenomenon occurring on occasion in SE Asia, as another place, although I also seem to have the recollection that it would be at more of the moderate to lower end places where this might occur.
Ah yes. Something that I hate about restaurant culture over there.
I too have wondered how this custom originated.
What I would love would be something in-between having to wait forever for the bill once you've finished and requested the bill (encountered way too often in the West) and having the server hovering while waiting for you to pay.
I've gotten to the point now that when I'm dining alone I usually ask for the bill just when they bring out the food.
Well this thread clarifies why I had waiters lurking while I was in Thailand. I just assumed they thought I couldn't read the bill.

Lundberg, Wild Blend Rice

A family favorite. It is a healthy carb/grain choice. It's one of my pantry stables. You can shorten the prep time to 25 mins. First, in a dry cast iron skillet heat the rice, stirring constantly, to crack the grain. You will hear it popping. When the rice starts to brown pour it into you liquid (broth or water) and follow the pacakage directions except the time will be 25 minuets.
Love it!

I have looked for this wonderful rice for months, ever since our big box, ruin the world Mart stopped carrying it. I found it online. I use it to make my home made chicken wild rice soup. It is a wonderful rice blend, so full of flavor. Everyone who has tried my soup always asks "What is that rice !" It is delicious. Once you try it, you won't want any other brand. Sincerely, Judy
Amazing gourmet blend of wild and whole grain brown rice.

Taken from: "Hillsboro A History" by
Dorothy Bliss
Published: 1989
Based on the writings of the late
Tom Bliss
In 1869, the Montgomery County Loan & Trust Company, now Montgomery County National Bank, was capitalized by 14 men for $50,000. The original shareholders and the number of shares of $100 per-value stock each held were:
William P. Marshall
, 60 shares;
Captain John Glenn
and his brothers
James R. Glenn
William J. Glenn
, 50 shares each;

Fred Noterman
and Pordice Boutwell, 50 shares each;
William D. Shirley
, 40 shares;
John W. Edwards
John C. Gunning
James M. Truitt
Edward Y. Rice
, 20 shares each; and
Thomas Standring
and Robert K. Bryann, 10 shares each.
The first Montgomery County Loan & Trust officers and directors were James R Glenn, president; Joseph T. Eccles, vice president; and Pordice Boutwell, Edward Y. Rice, William P. Marshall, William D. Shirley, John W. Edwards, Fred Noterman and James M. Truitt, directors.
Others who served as president of the bank during its 119-year history have been

When Peoples National Bank was absorbed by the Montgomery Loan & Trust Company in 1931., Peoples Bank directors
Joseph M. Baker
John L. Dryer
Homer S. Butler
joined the Loan & Trust board.
When the Taylor Springs State Bank was merged, also in 1931, Joe Sullivan, a director and cashier of the Taylor Springs bank, became cashier of the loan and trust company.

Harold D . Whitten
, Don J . McDavid, Arthur E. Bass, Alice McDavid, William K. Jenkins, Orville Johnson, R. M. "Whitey" Patton, Nancy (Bliss) Slepicka, Pete Patton and Dr. Roger McFarlin.
The bank operated under a state charter as Montgomery County Loan & Trust Company from 1870 to January 1940, when the name was changed to Montgomery County Bank. In May 1945, it became a national bank and has operated as Montgomery County National Bank (MCNB) since then.
The bank's board of directors agreed in the spring of 1987 to accept a $70.05 per-share purchase offer from Country Bancorp Inc., a bank holding company that owned First National Bank of Mt. Olive and its branch bank at Livingston. All of the 47,400 outstanding shares of Montgomery County National Bank were sold for a total purchase price of $3,320,370. MCNB's 1987 assets were listed as $43 million, and Country Bancorp ended 1986 with assets of $26 million.
Country Bancorp's principal shareholders and officers in 1987 were Dave Fleming, president, and Attorney Ron Scharf of Litchfield, and John Jubelt and Richard Kloss of Mt. Olive.
Directors and principal officers of MCNB at the time of the merger were R. M. "Whitey" Patton, president; Robert Smith, chief executive officer; Attorney Stephen Cullison, Dr. William Douglas, Harold D. Whitten, William K. Jenkins and Nancy Slepicka of Hillsboro, plus Orville H. Johnson of Nokomis. Attorney Elbert Butler, who succeeded his father, Homer S. Butler, on the board, served as bank vice president prior to the merger and was serving the board as consultant when Country Bancorp acquired the bank.

Gamifi what? Gam·i·fi·ca·tion: the concept of applying game mechanics and game design techniques to engage and motivate people to achieve their goals. [1]
In education, your instructors may be doing this with point scoring, competition, online scavenger hunts, or group work including role play. Over on the faculty blog this week, we've been discussing gamification in education. Do your instructors use this technique in their lessons? If so, please comment below and let us know how and if you enjoy learning this way!
Photo credit: clipart.com/#21613069
PS – We created a Pluck the Turkey game for faculty as a fun way of learning or reinforcing their learning about games and the gamification of education. Have a go at the game but you may need to read the faculty posts (Nov 10 and Nov 17) to answer the questions correctly!

Each year on the first day of school, we anticipate a few bumps in the road when it comes to transportation. Yesterday, we certainly had some issues. The volume of traffic at Madison Kindergarten Academy was much more than expected and caused our shuttle buses to be unable to get into the school to pick up students. The shuttles were finally loaded and on their way a little after 4 p.m., but that made the buses for Kit Carson, Glenn Marshall, and White Hall elementaries very late in loading and delivering students home. We spent several hours last night reconstructing the dismissal plan for Madison Kindergarten Academy.

The National Retail Federation's (NRF) ninth annual Organized Retail Crime (ORC) Survey found 93.5 percent of retailers say they have been victims of organized retail crime in the past year, down slightly from 96.0 percent in 2012. For the past three years, more than 90 percent of the retailers surveyed said they were victims of this type of crime, and eight in 10 say organized retail crime in the U.S. has increased over the past three years.
"We are extremely concerned by the organized patterns that are taking place in the retail industry right now as these crime gangs continue to find ways to maneuver the system," said NRF Vice President of Loss Prevention Rich Mellor. "Though retailers continue to make great strides in their fight against organized retail crime, savvy, unconscionable criminals are selling stolen merchandise for a profit that doesn't belong to them. With the types of organized retail crimes changing in severity each year, retailers remain vigilant in their fight against organized retail crime."
The likelihood of thieves resorting to violence to avoid being apprehended is also a reported concern among survey respondents: Retailers say on average two in 10 apprehensions lead to some level of violence, up from 15.2 percent last year and 13.0 percent in 2011.
However, thanks to organized methods of communication between retailers and law enforcement, awareness among law enforcement officials is at an all-time high. According to the survey, nearly half of retailers say they believe law enforcement understands the complexity and severity of organized retail crime, up from 40.0 percent last year and the highest percent reported in the five years of asking this question.

Go Auburn Without an Adverse Color Reaction
If you've been lusting after Christina Hendricks' lucious auburn locks, knowing your tone is key to avoid an adverse color reaction. Pick a permanent formula if you're ready to make a long-term commitment. Otherwise, opt for a dye that's semi-or demipermanent. If your skin tone is cool, look for blue-based shades; if it's warm, seek out natural auburn shades. As long as you stay on the same color level (such as medium brown to medium auburn), red can be a fun, easy way to energize your look. Note: If you spend lots of time in the sun or the pool, this might not be a good choice, as this shade is prone to fading.

Red Rock Rotary jumped out to an early lead in the Sedona Parks and Recreation Department's Summer Softball League with two victories Thursday, June 5, by a combined score of 27-5 at Posse Grounds Park.
Pitcher Dan Schneberger hung a 17-0 shutout on Another Team in Rotary's first of two games on the evening, followed up by a 10-5 win over the Red Rock Rebels to polarize the two teams in the 10-team league early.
"The 10-plus runs don't really surprise us," said Nick Hastings, Red Rock Rotary head coach and Rotary Club of Sedona president. "We want to go out and hang 10 runs in every game to have a good chance of winning."
That kind of offensive production is necessary in a league in which 10 or more runs were scored by every winner except one June 5 — the Night Ballers, who edged the Mighty Ducks of L'Auberge de Sedona resort, 8-7, in the opener on the lower softball field at Posse Grounds.
"We like to try and play small ball as much as we can," Hastings said. "With the 'one-for-one' home run rule, power is not always your friend."
For the full story, please see the Wednesday, June 11, issue of the Sedona Red Rock News.

As the nights are getting chillier, does anyone know of warm cozy places for drinks, either alcoholic or hot beverages like cider/cocoa, in the Pasadena area?
Fireplaces are always good, but just nice comfy sofas and a cozy environment would be great.
Try Magnolia's on South Lake. Cool and intimate. Drinks are strong and very friendly environment.
For wine, try VERTICAL WINE BISTRO.
For hot chocolate or mocha, try ZONA ROSA or CAFE CULTURE.
I second Crepe and Vine for wine. Equator coffee shop is laid back and casual for hot chocolate.
Try the cute, English-style wine bar (small, dimly lit room) at Madeleine, on Greenstreet.
The handsome bar (with music playing) at the Ritz Huntington is also a great place to wind down.
I like Crepe Vine, Bodega Wine Bar (in the Paseo), Red White + Bluezz & Magnolia's on Lake
This is in Eagle Rock, but it is perfect for what you are looking for. It has a fireplace, and it's very cozy but very cool inside: The Chalet on Colorado. It's like the inside of a ski chalet.
I really like The Raymond (please get directions, easy to miss) on Fair Oaks on the Pas/So. Pas. border.
Cozy Craftsman house converted to food - good wine list, cocktails and a fireplace. Cozy, yes - cool? Subjective.
Bean Town is a very cozy place and I especially like their white hot chocolate. Oh, and they have some nice comfy couches!

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office reports four more abandoned vagrant/homeless camps were cleaned up last Saturday removing 11,000 pounds of trash and garbage. The camps were in the same area off U.S. 41 in northeast Port Charlotte where 25,000 pounds of trash were also picked up Aug. 21 by inmates of the Charlotte County Jail.
CCSO Environmental Detective Billie Hatmaker said the 60 cubic yards of items removed were in wooded areas around Sinatra, Luscar, Alonso avenues and Starborn St. Det. Hatmaker said, "Six area residents stopped by and thanked us for our efforts." There were 14 supervised trustee inmates dragging and putting trash in a front end loader that was used to put the trash into two large dumpsters. Det. Hatmaker says there are still 10 to 12 additional camps in this area that future clean ups are being planned. Det. Hatmaker said besides the inmates, participating were County Jail officers, a County Code Officer, a Community Policing Officer, and two from the County Solid Waste Department.

That time of year: Alphonso mangos?
Wondering if anyone has seen these in Montreal yet...
re: cherylmtl
The reason i asked is because there are reports on other boards of people buying and eating Alphonsos! Don't want to miss them this year!
re: Campofiorin
Campofiorin. I have no idea, as I have not had an Alphonso before. I have been loving the Ataulfo mangoes this year. But when I have asked others about the Alphonso, they have said that they are even better than Ataulfo mangoes, so now I've gotta try them!
There have been posts on other regional boards about them, and I believe there have been posts extolling their deliciousness on General Chowhounding Topics. People seem to go a little crazy about them.
They are definitely available in other cites now. But Cherylmtl spoke to one of the fruit vendors here in Montreal who usually gets them in. The Alphonsos now are unripe and ridiculously expensive. The real heart of the season starts probably in May, so we should see them in Montreal soon. There is a bunch of us keeping our eyes peeled, so soon....
(sorry. Bit of a fruit obsession...)
re: maisonbistro
They usually start showing up mid-May. I'll keep everyone posted. And yes, they are the ultimate mango (IMHO). Ataulfo are close, but a good Alphonso is deeper in flavour. Now I can't wait for them to show up, either... (they are, however, probably available slightly earlier in Toronto, if anyone's heading there over the next few weeks).
re: cherylmtl
I saw some A. named mangoes at JTM this weekend and picked 'em up 3/$5. I'm hardly a mango fanatic, and was curious as to what all the hype about these mangoes in particular was. I've eaten one of the three so far and thought it was pretty tasty. Just now I realized that I'd bought Ataulfo - not the same thing. Thought they were Alphonso, but I'd made a mistake in my brain. Oh well! Good mangoes nonetheless.
re: JadeMyst
This will seem counterintuitive, but our experience with alphonso mangoes is that they don't make the best chutney. They are too good, too subtle. Lesser mangoes do as well or better. It might be the same with jam, especially if you're mixing with another fruit.
re: Steve S
It depends what else you're adding to the chutney. I find I usually use one or two from each case I buy to make some sort of fresh chutney to serve with grilled meat or fish - but ideally only a chutney that will sit for a few hours for its flavours to develop, not one that will be kept for any longer - while other mangoes will probably work as well, I find there's nothing like a chutney made with alphonsos...I also use a few for ice cream (and try to abstain from eating the rest in one sitting...)
re: Steve S
I usually used an under-ripe mango for chutney so if you try using alphonsos for chutney you may want to use the least ripe ones.
Good luck getting your hands on them if you are not from the East Indian community. These mangoes are coveted, closely guarded and rarely have they been exposed to anyone outside the community.
For years I have been trying to track these suckers down, but like trying to ask anyone in Cairo when the you can catch the next bus, no one will ever tell you exactly when or where to find them.
Good luck.
re: fedelst1
The last time I checked, I wasn't even remotely East Indian, and I've been buying them here since 1993 (after I discovered them in India). There aren't many places that carry them here, unlike Toronto, but I've never had a problem buying them, when in season.
re: cherylmtl
Clearly, you have found a reliable source that must have a good supply, and has sufficient quantities available to supply the public, after filling regular clients orders.
Would you be willing to share your source?
re: fedelst1
I've posted it to this forum before - Apna Bazaar, out in the West Island. They receive shipments, usually twice weekly in mango season, but it's best to call before heading out there to see if they have them in. There may well be other vendors that carry them here, but that's the store I usually frequent.
re: cherylmtl
The earlier discussion with a few other addresses: www.chowhound.com/topics/406999
re: carswell
Thanks for finding that link, carswell. I knew it was here somewhere...
One caveat is that I think most places only sell them by the case, so if you just want one or two you may be out of luck. (although how anyone could only want one or two is beyond me, aside from their cost...)
re: cherylmtl
When I got mine last Alphonso season at Apna Bazaar, he didn't have these prized mangoes up front. He had them hidden in the back, which he only showed me after I inquired.
I just picked up a crate of alphonso mangos on Friday May 23d. They've been available since May 15th. The mangos are on the small side and similar in size & look of the ones from Dominica or Santo Domincan Republic. They were very luscious in texture without the fiber of the usual mangos you get here with a very floral taste.
I bought mine at MarcheVictoria which is just north of Van Horne on the west side of Victoria. When I went in on Wednesday, they told me to come back on Thursday at 10 am when the story opened as they didn't have much left by the afternoon. There weren't any on Thursday when I went but there were on Friday.
You'll have to take your chances to go in and see if there're in or not or try phoning ahead.
re: JadeMyst
So you were also there at Marche Victoria? To my knowledge only Marche Victoria have had the Indian mangoes so far. Apna Bazaar in the West Island, still has none available.
re: BLM
Another friend told me she bought Alphonsos at Jean Talon market this week at Chez Louis but then found further down the walkway another shop selling them at $1 each. She said a case at Chez Louis was $18 or in smaller amounts at 3 for $5. I bought mine at Marche Victoria where the price was much cheaper. I also bout some Haitian green kidney-shaped mangos there on a previous trip that I enjoyed very much.
re: JadeMyst
I don't think those were Alphonsos at Jean Talon, they were Atualfas - I saw them there myself. While they look similar, they are not the same thing.
re: JadeMyst
How many did you get and for how much?
re: JadeMyst
JadeMyst - You rock!
I went in today (Thursday) and got my grubby little hands on 2 boxes of Alphonso mangos. They are going for about $15 per box (12 mangos per box). They don't even put them out, they just have the boxes in the back. They get them in once a week on Thursdays at Marche Victoria Orientale, but they recommend you call to make sure they got the shipment. They usually sell out within a day or so. They have colourful signs announcing the availability of these mangos, so if you see the sign, you know you are in the right place.
I have not yet had a mango, but I am excited! None of the mangos were ready to eat today, but a few were close. The smell that is emanating from the mango boxes is bewitching! Very floral and fruity, with a strong sweet mango scent. And this is from just a couple of almost ripe mangos! It is almost like a giant mango flower is blooming in the kitchen! I have never had mangos this aromatic in Montreal before. I am eagerly awaiting perfect ripeness... I think one will be ready for tomorrow morning's breakfast. That is, if I can resist ripping into it tonight during my insomnia.
I have to say, that is a great market! I found some very cool vegetables there that I had never seem before, and got some good tips on how to cook them. Here is my recent post, with photos of the vegetables and the final dishes.
re: moh
Thx Moh for that "You rock". An Indian friend from work at the Jewish told me about Marche Victoria. She & another Mumbai lady from work told me the Kassar (sp?) mangos should be available now or very soon as well. The kassars are also an Indian mango but less sweet than the Alphonsos.
I saw the Domincan mangos also at Marche Victoria so I intend to return to try both very soon.
re: hungryann
We were there around 11:30 or 12:00 noon, so pretty early.
So I have to say, the Alphonso mango is definitely one of the best mangos I have ever had. It is indeed even better than the lovely Ataulfo mangos I have been snacking on this season.
Our first Alphonso had a rotten core, but we were able to salvage some of the outer pieces. The second mango was pristine. The scent is intoxicating and powerful. The flesh is a rich bright orange, a very warm colour. The flesh is smooth and creamy, similar to the Ataulfo flesh. But the flavour is richer, denser, floral and sweet. As hubbie put it, "it is like mango candy".
If you are a mango lover, this is the real deal. It is going to be very hard to go back to the regular mangos. Run out and buy some!!!
re: moh
I got a box of The Kesars and alphonsos on Friday the 23rd at about ~11:00 it seems that this is when the truck arrives. Although they state Thursday, the past 2 weeks the shipment only came in on Friday.
If you do go, don't expect to run in and out with a case. Service is slow, and they open each case in front of hte client. The line can be over 30 minutes.
There were a few Alphonsos sitting for individual sale near the cash today, but I suspect they are gone by now. They do have some Indian Pomegranates in stock. I have yet to try them.
re: fedelst1
Make that the past 3 weeks on Friday(Alphonso first became available at Marche Victoria on May 16th, not May 15th as JadeMyst stated). I got my Alphonso on first day(I probably waited more than 30 minutes in line, & they're two cashes at the establishment). I finally got my Kesars yesterday(I tried to get my Kesars the week before, but it was sold out when I arrived).
re: fedelst1
Very odd, as I previously wrote, I went Thursday at3:30 pm and they were sold out. They told me they would not have any until next Thursday (the5th). Why would they not mention that they had more coming in on Friday (yesterday)? I am slightly peeved.
re: hungryann
For the alphonso mangoes, you might want to try Apna Bazaar. When I spoke with them over a week ago, they told me, they would have them by this weekend.
re: BLM
I spoke with Apna Bazaar on Monday and he told me that he was very reluctant to bring them because they would be quite pricey this year given the cost of fuel and he didn't think people were going to be keen on buying them at 20-25$ a dozen. I will keep pestering MVO; hopefully, I will get them this week. I saw the Kesars while I was there (at $17 a dozen, which was weird since the Alphonsos are more prized and most places had them the same price last year) but they were very unripe/green. Did they take a long time to ripen? Did you try them yet? How do they compare to the Alphonsos?
re: hungryann
I spoke to Apna yesterday, and they will hopefully be in this week. He always sells them out very quickly once they arrive, and they're usually over $20/case, so I don't see why he'd be overly worried about selling them this year. I guess if enough of us keep calling to check about the Alphonsos, he will ensure that he brings them in! And Apna brings them in perfectly ripe - never underrripe - you have to refrigerate whatever you don't consume within a day or two.
re: cherylmtl
"He always sells them out very quickly once they arrive, and they're usually over $20/case, so I don't see why he'd be overly worried about selling them this year."
I agree. I thought his excuse was a bit lame when I spoke to him. I felt like telling him that at MVO they go for $15 but I refrained myself.
re: hungryann
The Kesar box I got, had 2-3 Kesars that were almost ripe. Tried 2 Saturday morning. My guess the other ones in the box, would be ripe in 3-4 days. IMO, the Kesars are just as good as the Alphonsos. Given to choosing only one kind, I would probably choose Kesars over Alphonsos, as the Alphonsos mangoes are so small(almost like mini-mangoes). However I checked the Alphonsos the second weekend that Marche Victoria had them, & those Alphonsos were noticeably bigger than mine, but still very small.
re: hungryann
When I got my Kesars, there were still plenty boxes left, which allowed them to check several boxes, to find one with more ripe Kesars.
re: hungryann
The shipment of Alphonso mangoes came in to Marche Victoria this Friday morning. I got one box of Alphonso Friday night(there was still plenty of Alphonso boxes left around 8pm when I was there). These Alphonso are more than twice the size, the Alphonso I got on the first day available at Marche Victoria(May 16th). I didn't see any Kesar boxes today at Marche Victoria.
re: hungryann
What's the latest on Apna Bazaar? Have they got them in yet(at least the Alphonso)? What price are they charging?
re: BLM
I spoke to them this morning, and they said they should have them on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. However, I was at Marche Victoria on Sources this afternoon, where they had many cases of lovely, perfectly ripe Alphonsos for $18/case, so I picked one up there. I would expect they will be between $20 and $25/case at Apna when they get them, as they usually are. I think I'll stick with Marche Victoria for now...
re: hungryann
My alphonsos came from a case that was purchased at Marché Victoria Oriental on Thursday late morning last week.
re: carswell
Thx carswell, I will stake out MVO Thursday morning. I will not be denied this week! BTW, I had called on Wednesday afternoon, to ask that they put aside a case for me but they told me they don't do that.
re: hungryann
Personally I would call Marche Victoria beforehand, to make sure they have it when you are there.
re: hungryann
I went at 11 am this morning and Marche Victoria looked a little low on Kesars, the case of 9 was $17. Theey still had what looked like about 80+ cases of alphonsos.
Both mangos were not quite ripe yet. The cashier said I could eat my Kesars tomorrow, Friday but I think I may wait till Saturday. My Indian work-mates prefer the Kesars to the Alphonsos but they buy both since they seem to eat a lot of them over the week. The Kesars resembled the Haitian mangos abit, green with a slight yellow blush. I didn't check the price of the Alphonsos this week as I only bought the Kesars but when I last bought them at Marche Victoria, I paid 14.99 for a case of 12..
re: JadeMyst
Ah JadeMyst, let me count the ways you rock! I saw your post, and immediately sent out the minion to procure some more mangos. I had assumed (incorrectly) that they had switched their delivery day to Friday... The price has gone up to $16 for a box of Alphonsos.
My Kesars from last week have finally ripened, and so I tried one today side by side with an Alphonso. The Alphonso has a rich mango taste with floral and coconut notes, the scent and flavour are quite intense and tropical and funky. The Kesar has a pure bright rich mango flavour, without the other scents. The Kesar is the most classical "mango" taste I have ever had. The textures of both mangos are comparable, smooth, creamy, free of excess fiber.
Oh how will I go back to normal mango after this?
Some potentially bad news. When we asked if they would still have mangos next week, they mentioned that there was bad weather in India and it was affecting the mango harvest. Let's hope this is not the case, but you should check before you go to pick up your mangos next week.
re: moh
I wonder why the price hike? Anyhoo, no biggie! I still have lots from last week. I agree with your description of the kesar, i had to eat them a little underripe though because they were bruised on some parts and spoiled at those spots while the rest of the mango was`n't as ripe. I hope they will be around next week...i was hoping to get 2 more boxes (one of each). I will keep my fingers crossed!
re: hungryann
hungryann, I had the same experience with a few of my alphonsos, a bit of early spoilage in some spots, the rest not yet ripe. I left one mango to ripen despite the spot of spoilage. By the time the rest of the mango was ripe, there was a big brown icky spot on the top, but I was able to salvage a fair amount of the mango, and enjoy it at a riper state.
I'll also keep my fingers crossed. It is clear I will have to gorge on these mangos until I am sick of them, in order to make it to next year....
re: moh
There is so much you can do with these mangos, it would be difficult to get sick of them (IMHO). Right now, I have the mixture for mango sorbet chilling in my fridge, have already made mango milkshakes, eaten some as is, will make at least one salsa with mango, coriander, onion, and a bit of red pepper and lime juice (goes great with chicken or fish). And so many more things to do with them - you have no idea how much I really look forward to Alphonso mango season each year!
Finally got a chance to try them both (kessars and alphonso's) thanks to a very generous chowhounder. They are each a class of their own, not sure which one is "favorite" yet. I must say I was a little bit skeptical (how much better can you do after ataulfos?), so I never had the energy to get myself some; but I will definitely get more before the season runs out. Just need to figure out how to go to any of the sources listed, using public transport.
The fragrance of these mangoes are intoxicating, almost too good to be true. If you didn't know that they are coming out from a real fruit, you'd assume that they were manufactured in a flavor lab. The taste is even better. One bite sends a current of electricity down your body. I am pretty sure these are the mangoes that George Costanza tasted in the "The Mango" episode.
I just wish the Indian stores at Parc-ex also stocked them, but it is definitely worth taking a trek if you are not living close.
Finally had an opportunity to pass by Marche Victoria Oriental. Unfortunately, no Alphonsos, was told season is over for this year. About 10 cases of Kessar at 19$ left. Will finally have a chance to try these and see what it's all about.
re: Venusia
Venusia, when were you there?
We passed by this morning at 11:30 (Thursday), and they had some boxes of Alphonsos. I believe it was a new shipment, as the line was long. No Kesars though. When I asked if they were done for the season, I was told they will try to get another shipment next week. So there is still a chance they will have some more, slim, but there.
Make sure you wait until the Kesars are nice and ripe! They are a bit sour if you eat them too early.
re: moh
??? We were there at 10:30 this morning! This doesn't make any sense, unless this 11:30 shipment was a surprise.
Are the Kesars supposed to be yellow? Because the guy said ours were ripe, but they are still green. They do have a soft give though. Should I wait until they wrinkle a bit?
re: Venusia
Is it possible there are two very similarly-named grocers?
re: Venusia
Wow, I don't understand this at all Venusia. Hubbie called at 10:45, and they said they had them. Then he was in at 11:30, picked up 2 boxes of Alphonsos. I went back at 12:30 to see if they had any Kesars, and they said they were out. Saw a few loose Alphonsos at that time...
Re: Ripeness of Kesars. I ate one when it was greeny yellow, and it was very good. But it had a slight sourness that the really ripe ones don't have. Do they smell good? I've been going on a combination of smell and softness to determine when to eat them. My favorite stage is when my Kesars turned a light yellow, just before they get wrinkly, they are very fragrant then. But i is a fine line, as you will lose a few to rot (such a fine line!) Perhaps start with a few yellow-green ones for things like mango salsa, but definitely let a few go yellow. They are very decadent!
re: moh
Well okay, now I get it. I went to Marche Victoria Oriental on Sources in DDO, and there appears to be one Marche Victoria Oriental on Victoria avenue in Montreal. Is that where you went Moh? In fact, is that where everyone goes? I was impressed that so many would make the trek all the way to the West Island for these mangoes.
My mangoes don't really smell at all, I'm going to wait.
re: Venusia
«Is that where you went Moh? In fact, is that where everyone goes?»
Yep and yep. Had no idea MVO had a West Island branch.
re: carswell
I believe the West Island location is the same company, but the prices are different there - we stopped by to see if they had mangos a few weeks back when we were out there - but they're $18/case there vs. $15 at the other store (still worth every penny, though...)
re: carswell
The one on Sources has been there almost as long as the original place on Victoria (hence the name...), but the selection is a bit smaller.
re: Venusia
Venusia, yes, I meant the MVO on Victoria. That does explain it.
But I would trek to the West Island for these mangos....
Yes, wait for them to smell like heaven! They turn yellow too... I leave them all together in the box on the counter, and only transfer them to the fridge once they are fully ripe.
re: moh
Okay, finally had a chance to try my Kesars! My husband sliced a couple up, we started digging in and immediately thought: Pina Colada! They taste very tropical and extremely sweet, and are also very juicy, with hardly any fibers.
My husband prefers the Kesars for their juiciness, sweetness and tropical taste, but I find them almost sirupy in their sweetness. But then, I'm not much of a juice drinker, I always dilute it with mineral water.
Can I be the lone dissenter and say that I prefer the Ataulfos? I prefer their firmer texture and less sweet taste and I love their creaminess.
re: Venusia
Venusia, it is possible you might prefer the Kesars in a firmer, less ripe state. I could definitely see how you might prefer a less sweet mango, the ripe kesars and alphonsos are very intense flavours, and as you say sirupy. This is why we need fruit diversity! More options more good for all.
re: JadeMyst
I am also counting the months...
I purchased a can of Alphonso mangos at a grocery store on Jean-Talon in Parc-Ex. (photo attached). It was good, but it was not the same at the fresh Alphonso. Still, I enjoyed them with cottage cheese. They have a hint of the luxurious over-the-top mango flavour, and all of the creaminess, but they are a canned product, and so you lose that fresh, vibrant taste.
