Shortening definitely has its place in vegan baking. From pie crusts, shortbreads and puff pastry, it's a basic building block for texture. This solid fat is so integral to these types of desserts because it alters the way gluten is formed in baked items that utilize wheat-based flours. For more on the food science of shortening, check out my article on how to make vegan shortening.My original recipe for vegan shortening utilized a mixture of coconut oil and vegetable oil such as canola, light olive oil or rice bran oil. The coconut oil is solid at room temperature. When it's mixed with a certain ratio of fats that are liquid at room temperature, a certain level of softness can be dialed in that makes it suitable to use as shortening. This recipe utilizes deodorized, also known as refined cocoa butter.

I've gotten into the habit of using various Vegan Butters in my baking projects. I like having the peace of mind in knowing I have complete control over what goes into it. These butters were designed to mimic real butter. But lately I've been noticing something. The same hard consistency that allows the butter to work well with creaming into cookie batter, cutting into pie crust dough and rolling with croissant dough can also be its downfall.
This firmness inhibits the butter from being enjoyed on a completely different level: being spread onto toasty pieces of hearth breads, smeared on steamy biscuits and dabbed on pancakes fresh off the griddle. In these cases, butters that are optimal for baking tend to sit on the food, desperately depending on the residual heat to allow them to melt so they hopefully spread out as they ooze along. Then while you're eating, hopefully you'll eventually get to the part with the melted butter on it. What a treat that's going to be! It shouldn't have to be this way.
Coconut is one of my favorite ingredients due to its neutral flavors that add richness to almost anything. Coconut contains flavor compounds called lactones that are among the same flavor compounds that give traditional dairy cream its trademark creamy flavor. And we all wondered why coconut and cream went together so well! In this Toasted Coconut Cake I wanted to maximize these layers of coconut and cream for a truly decadent cake.
What I like best about Vegan Butter is how it can be crafted to meet your exact flavor and texture specifications. Since we're building butter from the ground up, we have the freedom to use building blocks that contribute almost any quality we desire. In that roughly 80% fat and 20% water, we have lots of room to play around. For this version I wanted to showcase the unbelievably smooth, savory flavors of truffle oil for a Vegan Butter that could stand up to traditional dairy-based butter as a bread spread, or even quite possibly outdo it when baked into pastry such as savory pie crusts. But why are we infusing vegan butter with truffle oil? Let's get some background information on what truffle oil brings to the table.

"I've never had a black and white cookie before" I mumbled to my vegan food friends, not thinking that it was that big of a deal. "Living in New York City, you've never had a black and white cookie?!" they desperately exclaimed. Right then, I perked up. What is it about these flat perfectly looking cookies that straddle the line between black and white so mysteriously? After all, this is New York City's cookie. Does this cookie dare to celebrate chocolate and vanilla at the same time? What about the cookie part? Is it just a boring pseudo shortbread crust underneath or something special? I had to know more.

I decided to assemble Team Coconut: an all-star team of players dedicated to bringing in some serious coconut action. Like a Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head (on the Coconut) remix. Based on my Vegan Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, Vegan Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies boast toasted coconut flour, unrefined coconut oil, coconut sugar and shredded coconut that toasts during baking. Let's do this.
I love how green tea has a subtle ability to refresh coupled with a slight hint of savoriness. I adore how vegan cupcakes can be a celebratory canvas for almost any flavor combination, that you get to just pick up and take a bite out of. But how do you infuse green tea into a baked cake product? Easy, right?

This Easy Vegan Buttercream Frosting is just a simple, versatile, delectable frosting that will elevate your cakes and cupcakes to a new level without requiring you to put on your lab coat and don your frosting goggles. You can either use Regular Vegan Butter with a cocoa butter base which is recommended, Regular Vegan Butter with a coconut oil base, or, if you haven't gotten around to buying a walk-in freezer to store your Vegan Butter in yet, go the easy route and use store bought stick margarine.

When I originally developed my first Vegan Butter recipe I had no idea it would be helpful to so many bakers. I just wanted something that was truly homemade where I had full control of the production process so I could introduce variations to tailor the vegan butter to the application I was working on. Other advantages were that it didn't need to rely on palm oil, which much of the commercial vegan butter industry utilizes, which is linked to rainforest destruction, as well as placing Sumatra orangutans in perilous danger.
The original Vegan Butter recipe uses refined coconut oil for a base, but what happens if there begins to be environmental issues with that type of oil? What if it's difficult to find coconut oil in your area? What if you recently had a dumptruck empty 3500 pounds of deodorized cocoa butter in your driveway and you're wondering what to do with it? I don't know which one of these issues led to this, but soon after posting the first Vegan Butter recipe, people started inquiring how to make it using cocoa butter instead of coconut oil.

One of the benefits of Vegan Butter is that since you're building it up from scratch, you can have full control of what you want it to be. It doesn't have to go down the route of completely replicating traditional butter if you don't want it to. Why would you want to replicate the texture of butter but not necessarily the flavor? Frostings and short doughs such as tart dough, pie crust and shortbread come to mind. You have much more variability in your end result if you can control flavor through your actual fat in addition to other ingredients. Imagine chocolate croissants where the butter is replaced with a fat that has the texture and flavor characteristics of both chocolate and butter. This is the reason I developed Chocolate Vegan Butter. Oh and you can spread it on toast too.

Traditional bakers have been able to create a vast variety of foods over the last several hundred years of baking evolution. It's surprising when you realize that everything from puddings to cakes to cookies vary little in the range of ingredients used. Versatile ingredients such as flour, sugar, fat and eggs make this sort of variation possible. These are the building blocks of pastry. Vegan baking is easy when all you have to worry about is manipulating flour, sugar and fat. So what are we do to do in regards to replacing the almighty egg? There is a legend that the Romans believed in chicken eggs so much, they mixed them into their concrete. To first understand what we need to replicate this building block we need to understand what an egg does in the world of baking.

The more I learn about pastry, the more I realize that European pastry is on a completely different level compared to classic American pastry. My impression is that European pastry is all about introducing flavor depth through manipulating eggs, butter and technique. Croissants, strudel and danish pastries come to mind. American pastry, on the other hand, tends to build off bold flavors with a strong sugar backbone accentuated by spices. Apple pie, cupcakes and cookies come to mind here.
In the quest to become an adept baker, it's important to draw from as many influences as possible. One trick that many American style bakers use to improve flavor depth is taking a cue from European bakers by using cultured European style butter.
How does American style butter differ from European style butter? Let's take a look.

When I began making bread weekly in December 2011, the non-vegan version of this bread was the first recipe I tried. After experimenting with several other recipes, this was by far my favorite and easily became my go-to weekly recipe. When I went vegan, I knew I had to veganize this one! I am so pleased with how my vegan version turned out and hope you will be too.

This Vegan Apple Pecan Granola recipe brings on the apple flavor with the help of both apple chunks and apple sauce. Cashew butter forms its base and packs extra protein so you'll have sustained energy throughout your morning. I go low on the sugar for this same reason and to give the other ingredients a chance to contribute flavor. Nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon work to highlight the apple. Chopped pecans toast during baking and add a welcome nutty crunch. Once you've chosen your preferred apples and baked this granola to perfection you can add it to ice cream, splash it on non-dairy milk or top it with a dollop of non-dairy yogurt.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Lucky!
Facts about Lucky
- Breed: Poodle (Miniature) Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Lucky's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Please call the shelter 516-944-8220 during working hours (Mon. to Fri. 9AM-4PM; Sat. 10-4PM) for more information about Lucky, the adoption process at the shelter, and to confirm availability. Please go to www.theshelterconnection.com for more information about and directions to the shelter.
Other Pets at The Shelter Connection at the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lucky, a Port Washington Poodle (Miniature) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Miniature) for sale in Port Washington, or seeking a Poodle (Miniature) dog from a breeder in Port Washington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Port Washington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Port Washington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Poodle (Miniature) breeders who help with Poodle (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Port Washington paves the way for another one to be saved.

The impact of AIDS and HIV on the black community was on the minds of several Syracuse leaders. They met Wednesday night in a town hall meeting. As our Iris St. Meran explains, the conversation provided hope for families struggling with the disease, and information to others about the resources available.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- About 50,000 Americans become infected with HIV each year according to the CDC. It's a number these members of the Syracuse community want to decrease and eliminate all together. Wednesday, members of the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS held a town hall meeting for neighbors to answer their questions.
Syracuse Black Leadership Commission on AIDS Chair Erik Eure said, "We don't talk as much about AIDS and HIV as we used to. We want people to know there are still a lot of resources available, the world has not gone to sleep on their concerns and their needs and we want to help them get the resources they need."
From prevention to treatment, Eure says everyone is a stakeholder in the fight against the disease.
"It's important to stay in touch with the community as well as hear from the community, especially people who are affected by AIDS and HIV," Eure added, "When someone gets this life changing news, it not only effects them, the patient, but their family and friends."
There was a presentation about new research and medications available to patients, but the dialogue went beyond this disease.
Two-point-six million New Yorkers are without health insurance. One presenter discussed what can be expected from the Affordable Care Act, many provisions in the health care reform will take effect at the beginning of the year.
Health advocate Lanika Mabrey said, "A lot of people are fearful when they hear I'm required to have health insurance. I can't afford it. This presentation actually addressed that. It addressed the fears."
The goal was to calm everyone's fears about a number of topics and inform them so they can make healthy choices.

2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S shows up with 550 horsepower [UPDATE]
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Oct 12th, 2012 at 10:01AM
Porsche has revealed details on the new Cayenne Turbo S, and the most powerful of the company's SUV range will bow with an extra 50 horspower at its command. That nudges power to 550 hp and 553 pound-feet of torque, clipping 0.1 seconds from the machine's 0-60 dash and upping the top speed by three miles per hour. The 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S can now dart to 60 from a stand still in a ludicrous 4.3 seconds and clip off a 175 mph top end. Buyers can expect to enjoy a slathering of tech aides, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus and Power Steering Plus... Read More

Thank You Notes & Cards
Some people save thank you notes for big occasions, sending thank you notes to friends and family only after a wedding or birthday celebration. But thank you notes are a sweet gesture to share with loved ones at any time! In fact, a spontaneous or unexpected thank you note can often mean more than a plain old thank you note after an event.
If you are looking for ways to brighten up your best friend's day, or to give your spouse a special symbol of your love, try giving them thank you notes at unusual moments. If your friend stopped by on her way home from work just because she heard you were feeling down, send her a sweet thank you note the next day. Or, if you were sick at home and your spouse brought you soup and tea in bed all day, slip a thank you note into his or her
Sure, these little acts of kindness might not seem outrageous enough to warrant a thank you note, but by sending sweet thoughts of gratitude their way, you will let them know how much you appreciate their support even when life might seem mundane or trivial.
As a nice little daily exercise in gratitude, try making lists of all the kind things people do for you throughout the day, from your mechanic to your landlord, neighbor and spouse. Then, when you get home select a few to thank in a special way with thank you notes. Your friends and family will start to feel the love in no time!

Employees and agents at Hersing Corporation―working across a disparate mix of messaging technologies―sometimes found it difficult to communicate. Email messages and attachments could be delayed, lost, or corrupted, which reduced efficiency. Hersing
wanted to standardize its messaging environment and enhance collaboration while controlling IT costs. After it evaluated several cloud services, Hersing determined that Google Apps did not provide the familiar user experience or the deep collaboration functionality
that the company needed. Instead, Hersing adopted more than 200 Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions for its headquarters employees, and 5,000 additional Office 365 subscriptions for its field agents. Now, the company has standardized its messaging environment
and its business identity, developed the agility it needs to expand, and reduced its IT costs by as much as US$300,000.
Working across multiple messaging domains, Hersing staff and agents sometimes found it difficult to communicate without encountering problems. Business email messages to customers and partners were sometimes delayed or filtered as spam, and attachments could
be lost or corrupted. With limited email storage, employees could not send or receive large attachments, and sometimes even had to clear their inbox before asking a customer or colleague to resend an attachment. It all created delay and reduced efficiency.
"Communication is fast-paced in real estate," says David Seah, Assistant Vice President, Information Technology at Hersing Corporation. "We need to send and receive photographs, presentations, spreadsheets, documents, and agreements that need to be signed
all through email―quickly and reliably."
Without a standardized messaging environment, it was difficult for the company to maintain a centralized list of contacts, and facilitate collaboration between employees, agents, and customers. With people trying to collaborate across multiple environments
and devices, the IT team of four administrators and two developers spent too much time trying to troubleshoot and safeguard the company's network. Hersing deployed third-party anti-phishing, antivirus, and anti-spam solutions, which helped safeguard network
resources―but increased IT workload and cost.
The company wanted to enhance its communication and collaboration capacity while streamlining IT processes and refocusing the IT team on strategic goals. "We needed a standardized corporate domain," says Seah. "But we knew that building an on-premises messaging
and collaboration environment for 5,000 users scattered across locations and technologies would require a heavy investment in time, manpower, and infrastructure."
To help avoid that heavy investment, Seah's team began to evaluate cloud technology―remote computing resources delivered as services over the Internet. "To stay competitive, we wanted to provide our agents and staff with the most advanced technology available
to communicate, collaborate, and deliver from anywhere at any time," says Seah.
Working with Axiom IT Solutions, a member of the Microsoft Partner Network and a Microsoft Cloud Accelerate Partner, Hersing began its phase 1 deployment of Office 365 in October 2011. By early December― weeks ahead of schedule and with no down time―the
company had replaced its legacy email environment with more than 200 Office 365 subscriptions. After successfully adopting Office 365 within the group, Hersing will extend the Office 365 experience for its agents in a phase 2 deployment, starting with divisional
"Working with Axiom IT Solutions has been a great experience," says Seah. "With their strong support and vast experience, we enjoyed a smooth migration and implementation of Office 365."
By choosing Office 365, Hersing could also provide its employees with instant messaging, web conferencing, and document sharing capabilities far superior than Google Apps. The IT team has used SharePoint Online to build intranets where employees and agents
can collaborate on documents across departments. Employees use Lync Online to communicate with colleagues instantly and organize and attend remote conferences with customers and partners through PCs or mobile devices. "The IT team even uses Lync Online to
share desktops with employees and deliver remote support," says Seah. "That's something we could not have accomplished with Google."
Hersing had no experience with the reliability or support Google could offer, but with the easy-to-use Office 365 administration console and proven support from Microsoft and its partners, the company is confident it can manage more than 5,000 employees
and agents in a single collaboration environment that bridges locations and device.
With a flexible, cloud-based collaboration infrastructure, Hersing can support its business growth without a large investment. "We are growing rapidly," says Seah. "But without having to invest in a large internal infrastructure, we have the agility to scale
up Office 365 as we add new field agents and expand into new markets."
By delivering all the collaboration tools it needs in a single service, Hersing eliminated the need for third party solutions for data security, storage, and back up, which David Seah estimates will save the company up to US$200,000 in licensing and IT administration
costs. And by choosing Office 365 over Google Apps, Hersing will not have to purchase or manage third-party instant messaging, web conferencing, and document sharing solutions. "Google had gaps we would have had to fill with other solutions," says Seah. "But
when we subscribed to Office 365, we had a working enterprise solution right from the start."

Mini Cooper reportedly under investigation by NHTSA over power steering failures
by Jeff Glucker (RSS feed) on Sep 29th, 2010 at 10:58AM
Mini boasts about the go-kart like handling of its popular Cooper model. It's true, the car handles like a toy – except when the power-steering goes out. According to CNN Money, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into numerous claims by owners that their power steering assistance suddenly disappeared. So far 54 owners have complained of the issue, which may be blamed on a power steering pump failure. So far it seems that the issue is only showing up in some 2004 and 2005 model year cars. There have been no reported incidents and most drivers were able to... Read More

Chorizo sausage
Chorizo sausage comes from Spain and has a smoked paprika flavour. You can use a handful of pork or chicken instead – cook for 5 mins with 1 tsp smoked paprika before adding the rice.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan, then soften the leek for 5 mins without browning. Add the chorizo and fry until it releases its oils. Stir in the turmeric and rice until coated by the oils, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Tip in the peas and cook for 5 mins, then stir in the seafood to heat through for a final 1-2 mins cooking or until rice is cooked. Check for seasoning and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Comments, questions and tips
I have lost count the amount of times I've cooked this recipe. First time around I cooked it using the ingredients in the recipe plus garlic but minus tentacles as not a fan.
The best thing about this recipe is that it's a great base for anything else you want to chuck in. I've put in some or all of the following since:
White wine
Love cooking it outside in a paella pan on the gas BBQ. Love it.
This is a good basic recipe but I found it too bland for my taste when I followed the recipe as is for the first time. However it's quite flexible so I'd still recommend it.
The second time I made this, I used onions (instead of the leek), added some crushed garlic, diced red peppers as well as some smoked paprika and a little extra olive oil before adding the uncooked rice. Then I added stronger stock with a few tablespoons of tomato paste (tomato purée) and the outcome was notably tastier.
The next time I make this, I'll replace some of the stock with a tin of diced tomatoes or else add a few dashes of white wine as others have suggested.
EDIT: Found another paella recipe on this site which is similar to this with the modifications above - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/764637/easy-paella
Cooked this recipe with the additions you suggested; also began by frying two chicken breasts cut into pieces then adding the pieces after the stock etc. Was absolutely bloody delicious. Made a massive amount which was still devoured in full by four people. Thanks for your tips, I'll definitely make this again!!!!
GREAT AND YUMMY RECIPE! if you like original paella in www.paellafromvalencia.com you have others original paella recipes and much more, enjoy it!
As someone who is terrible at cooking rice, I absolutely love this recipe! So simple and so adaptable. I usually cook off some chicken fillet in the pan first, put it aside and then go from step one (I use prawns and not seafood mix). Have used all sorts of veggies in this and everything works. I also use brown rice to up our fibre intake and my teenage son (who'd run a mile from a healthier alternative!!) has never noticed. Five stars.

WASHINGTON, (CNN) — WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel quoted President Dwight D. Eisenhower Wednesday, telling rising military officers "the wise and prudent administration of the vast resources required by defense calls for extraordinary skill."
In his first major policy speech since taking over the Pentagon, Hagel focused on the budget problems facing the Defense Department and the rest of the government.
"A combination of fiscal pressures and a gridlocked political process has led to far more abrupt and deeper reductions than were planned for or expected. Now DoD is grappling with the serious and immediate challenge of sequester -- which is forcing us to take as much as a $41 billion cut in this current fiscal year," Hagel said at the National Defense University at Fort McNair.
He warned that much of the burden of that fiscal pressure will fall on defense employees.
"Fiscal realities demand another hard look at personnel -- how many people we have (military and civilian), how many we need; what these people do, and how we compensate them for their work, service, and loyalty with pay, benefits and health care," Hagel said.
The secretary warned that furloughs could have an impact in the Pentagon.
"Across-the-board reductions of the size we are looking at will demand that we furlough civilian personnel, which could affect morale and may impact productivity."
But Hagel said the answer is not, as is often proposed, running the Defense Department like a business. "The military is not, and should never be, run like a corporation. But that does not mean we don't have a good deal to learn from what the private sector has achieved over the past 20 to 30 years."
Hagel is concerned about the growing percentage of the department's budget that goes toward troop and employee pay and health care. "DoD could transform from 'an agency protecting the nation to an agency administering benefit programs.'"
Budgets weren't the only topics Hagel discussed.
The secretary told the audience he had a long conversation with China's new defense minister, Gen. Chang Wanquan.
"I think we can continue to build a strong relationship with China, with our differences. And there are significant differences. But there are too many common interests for both our countries. ... I think the Chinese have shown their leadership to be steady, wise, careful," Hagel said.
He also discussed threats posed by North Korea.
"They have nuclear capacity now. They have missile delivery capacity now. And so as they have ratcheted up her bellicose, dangerous rhetoric -- and some of the actions they've taken over the last few weeks present a real and clear danger and threat to the interests, certainly of our allies, starting with South Korea and Japan; and also the threats that the North Koreans have leveled directly at the United States regarding our base in Guam, threatened Hawaii, threatened to the West Coast of the United States," Hagel said.
"As secretary of defense, and I think beginning with the president of the United States, and all of our leaders, we take those threats seriously," said Hagel.
In spite of the concern about fiscal issues, Hagel reminded officers in the audience that the Defense Department's main goal remains protecting the country.
"The goal of the senior leadership of this department today is to learn from the miscalculations and mistakes of the past drawdowns, and make the right decisions that will sustain our military strength, advance our strategic interests and protect our nation well into the future."
