YODELS: What do you shop for when you leave "the south?" [moved from South board]
Since classes don't begin for another week, I am on a posting roll here...
I went back to New Jersey last week and returned with 5 grocery bags of stuff that either:
1) I cannot get here
2) the quality is not the same here
3) is cheap at home but expensive down here
Keep in mind I have been in the Richmond, VA area for 29 years, so this IS my home. Still, I never miss the chance to stock up. So, what do you crave and bring back?
Here is my current list of stuff:
1) Pork Roll. In some places they call it "Taylor Ham" but in Trenton (home of the Taylor Pork Roll) you can get Case's or Taylor Pork Roll in many forms. I often get a sandwich for breakfast on a fresh baked kaiser roll (with poppy seeds) with cheese and yellow mustard. We even had Pork Roll as a school lunch option! I buy either a chub to slice myself, or lately I am lazy and buy the presliced. It appears on some shelves here, but not regularly and not as cheap as in NJ.
2) Fresh Ricotta Cheese. I get a small can from one of the Italian markets in Trenton. It is hard to get if you are far from where it is produced as it spoils quickly. We eat it for breakfast, or in the summer serve in pasta with fresh tomato sauce and fresh basil leaves.
3) REAL HOT DOGS. They have a skin on them. In the local grocery store (Shop Rite, Acme, etc.) I have a selection of skin on hot dogs and they are very inexpensive. The closest I can get here is at Ukrops, and they are Boars Head, which is outrageously expensive (about 7 dollars a pound) I always have several packages in my freezer and we make as good a "ripper" as you will find south of Philadelphia.
4) Drakes Cakes. Specifically, we get Yodels and Ring Dings, but Yankee Doodles and Devil Dogs are also among my old favorites. They just don't seem to ship this far south, although the old Hannaford's Grocery Stores did carry them in Richmond in the early 90s.
5) Pasta: cheap, dried pasta is a massive staple of our grocery stores. There are at least 4 brands that sell for less than 79 cents a pound and they carry a huge variety of sizes and shapes. This is about selection, price, and bulk. My wife is NEVER happy to see 8-10 lbs of dried pasta bags in the back of the car, but it is GONE within 2 months.
6) Breads and Pastry. This time, baby cream puffs, chocolate dipped cannolis, sfingi, and ricotta pie for the sweets and semolina bread, mini torpedos, and ham breads for sandwiches and snacks. There are italian, polish, and french bakeries all over my county. There are enough that they have to have reasonable prices to compete with each other. In Trenton, across a seven block stretch there is Italian Peoples Bakery, Barberos Italian Bakery, and Little Italy Pastries and Deli. I can get cheese and deli meats there as well...
7) Deli Meats. Not sure why premium deli meats are so much less expensive in NJ, but they are. Geno Salami for 2.99 lb, Mortadella, Cappocola, Prosciutto, Soppresata, Italian Provolone, etc. all make their way back to our deli drawer. The kids pack some might fine lunches from time to time.
8) Sausages and meats. We have BUTCHERS!! Our local polish butcher has a wonderful selection of sausages, pork products, and fresh kielbasa. Sauerkraut and pickles are made on the premises to make sure you get some vegetables with your meats. Italian sausages go we beyond sweet and hot: sausages made with cheese, chilis, garlic, and even broccoli rabe are not available around here. Also some great Pennsylvania Dutch bacons, sausages, and and other farm products.
9) Pierogies...we have a huge polish community and there are fresh pierogies in the supermarkets; stuffed with different cheeses, spinach, potatoes, saurkraut, and even chopped meat, they are not to be found in these parts.
10) Frozen pasta. We have literally dozens of brands and varieties and they are so very affordable. Cavatelli pasta, meat tortellini, different raviolis, and the always delicious stuffed rigatonis come in 1 and 3 lbs frozen bags. It makes travelling with a cooler a neccessity.
11) Farmers Market produce. In the summer we bring back corn, tomatoes, peaches, and eggplants, at the very least. I live near hanover county (famous for tomatoes) but they markets at home are wonderful and CHEAP. We bought bushels of tomatoes for 7 bucks, peaches for 6, and corn for 2.25 a dozen and it was fresh and delicious. Yes, you can find it here, but it seems a bit cheaper and of extremely high quality up there.
12) Scungilli: Canned or frozen whelks, or small conchs are "scungili" to Italians and it is delicious. For what I can get 3 ounces for in a salad in a restaurant I can buy a 28 ounce can. There are three in the house as we speak...
So, that is what I have purchased recently in the last two trips to visit my parents. Where do you go and what do you need to bring home? BBQ and Cheer Wine from NC? Brisket and rock candy from Texas? Bright green relish from Chicago? Bagels? Let me know...I may be visiting your town soon!
I spent many formative years in the Tampa bay area. I try to bring home real Cuban bread & smoked mullet. Assorted fruit & veggies depending on the season, especially back yard varieties that aren't commercially available. Depending on travel arrangements I sometimes bring back fresh seafood. Most of my other "must haves" have disappeared over the years - keeps the wallet fatter & my waist thinner I guess.
I was born and raised in the South, so I go nowhere "to go home".
I have butchers and farmers market produce and deli meats and breads and pastries and pasta and "REAL HOT DOGS" where I live, so I don't get your issues.
In addition, since this is a topic about foods "not in the South", shouldn't it be in another board somewhere else?
re: fussycouple
What a lovely post. You sure made me hungry ,chefsalad. I am so fascinated by the region specific foods and cuisines of the U.S. Until you leave your home you really take for granted all those special foods of the area. It really is a lot easier now to find most ingredients you need to make a dish but the quality of the ingredients often leaves much to be desired. When I was cooking on Palm Beach the chefs would fly in greenhouse heirloom tomatoes that tasted like cardboard to me. I didn't understand why they bothered. I grew up in tnorthern Virginia and the Carolinas where warm ripe tomatoes were eaten like apples with a little salt sprinkled on them. The green beans in Washington D.C. had nothing on the Appalachian varieties " greasy cut short" and half runners" and my displaced grandmother would drag me from grocery store to grocery store looking for an adequate substitute in vain. I really hate ordering crab anything outside of the Bay area where my mom is from. Her family is (was) Chesapeake watermen and I grew up on unpasteurized fresh crabmeat that was out of this world good and is never matched by the premium lump crab meat served in top notch restaurants. Thanks for sharing a bit of your food history with us!
re: Apple.at.chin.
Tomatoes and crab--pure summer on the Chesapeake Bay. My wife is from Va. Beach and I fish the bay probably 90 days a year. The crabs used to be so plentiful that we'd anchor a cheap skiff with a cooler of beverages and squid and catch croakers and then use the croaker (or chicken necks) to get a half a bushel of crabs in a couple of hours. Now, we leave a trap or two for days to get a few small crabs. Thanks for bringing back those memories...
re: fussycouple
First, where in the south do you live with Italian and Polish neighborhoods? And skin on hot dogs? I can't find them here in the capital of the conferderacy.
Second, the moderators placed this post here, so feel free to ask them. It was posted under the regional "The South" board. My aploogies if this is out of place.
Finally, IF you lived somewhere other than the south, wouldn't you miss some things? If so, you would "get my issues."
No offense meant at all, just wondering who buys what they miss...
re: chefsalad
chefsalad, I noticed you said "Italian and Polish neighborhoods" - do you think that a neighborhood is essential to being able to get a certain kind of foodstuff/cuisine? I'm not trying to be a smart aleck, I promise - I'm just curious. I've heard many non-locals here in the Triangle area say things like "the food/bread/cookies/cold cuts/etc. are okay, but it's not like buying them in Little Italy/Chinatown etc." Is it truly more a question of the food's quality, or the entire experience?
re: Suzy Q
That is a great question. For me it is about the stuff...but I do love a "neighborhood." Still, if I could get any of the aforementioned goods in any location for the same price and quality, then I wouldn't have to drive 300 miles to get them.
Richmond is a reasonably large metropolitan area, but I cannot get all the things I'd like. So if I have to go back to an old neighborhood to get them, then that is what I do. But I have done mail ordering, tried local purveyors, and used food service providers for special orders when I was still in the restaurant business.
So there is a lure of the place itself (a little nostalgia, homesickness, inlated memory, or what have you) but mostly it's about the tastes and flavors that I can't get anymore.
AND, to be honest, if I lived back in NY/NJ, I'd never have access to things like Cheer Wine, great BBQ, and lots of stuff I get from the Chesapeake Bay. Boiled Peanuts and Northern Neck Ginger Ale are musts for me, and I really do like Smithfield Ham in a different way than I like prosciutto. If I was a southern transplant in NJ, the same logic would apply...I think!?!?! Anyone else have thoughts on location vs. tastes?
re: chefsalad
I'm from the South and lived in New Jersey back in the 80s. I missed so many things. I was shocked that the groceries there did not have the essentials of life, like grits, smoked ham hocks, and "real" ham.
But, my bIggest disappointment was no barbecue. I mean real smoked pit barbecue. Once, some locals invited us to eat at their house, where they promised to "barbecue some steak." Why in Heaven's name, I wondered, would someone take a perfectly good cut of meat, smoke it and smother it in barbecue sauce? Of course, they meant they were going to grill it on an outdoor grill.
So, I bought a Weber smoker, and loaded it up with country ribs (not the foo-foo baby backs they had in NJ) and pork shoulder. I had to have a meat shop cut all this specially for me. It was not without incident; one well-intentioned neighbor called the fire department because of the clouds of hickory smoke rolling out of my back yard patio.
I invited all my friends over for real barbecue, complete with a selection of red, white and mustard based BBQ sauces. I made sides of hush puppies, collards, and barbecue hash. The reaction was funny. Some eyed my spread with suspicion, others with curiosity, and a couple with looks bordering on downright revulsion.
But, no one left hungry, or without a desire to have real Southern barbecue again, soon. My smoker and I became local legends.
re: gretske
I did not understand the difference between bbq and grilling until it was explained to me by some Texans. We say bbq instead of grilling. Now i love BBQ - especially bbq beef brisket.
Can you tell me what hush puppies, collards and bbq hash are? I would have loved an invitation to your bbq :-)
re: caitlink
Hush puppies are so good, but so bad for you :)
They're a corn meal and buttermilk-based dough that is dropped by spoonfuls into hot fat and fried. Heavenly dumplings of goodness!
Collards are greens - they are part of the cabbage family. They are usually served cooked (often in bacon grease!) to make them more tender.
Barbecue hash can vary a lot - it usually involves pork shoulder, and maybe some liver or other meats, mixed with things like vinegar, hot pepper sauce, other spices and various vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, carrots. It's kind of a 'kitchen sink' dish - put whatever you've got lying around in there.
re: romansperson
Hush puppies vary from the very sweet to the very oniony...but I tend to love them all. Once on a drive to a baseball tournament in Sarasota, FL, I pulled off in Wilson, NC to Bill Ellis' barbecue buffet for a big lunch. One of our players (a great kid) ate 3 plates of hushpuppies with melted butter and a chicken leg. They were THAT good!
You might want to check out some of your local famers' markets for good/inexpensive produce. I don't know where you live exactly, but the Triangle area also has a few good Italian markets and some wonderful French and Italian bakeries. If you're in a small town, that may have more to do with your not being able to find specialty items.
I often wonder why we don't see more restaurants around here that serve some of the other items you mentioned - I grew up in the South and never heard of a pork roll until I heard some of my "imported" neighbors talking about it. With the number of imports we have in the Triangle area, it's a shame that we don't have a good Jewish deli, too. My husband has, on occasion, brought back cookies from a few of the the Italian bakeries in NY, and if I could figure out how to import a good Cuban sandwich from Ybor City in Tampa, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
re: Suzy Q
The grass is always greaner. I hail from PGH PA (now live in SC)so when I do get home up North, I grab me some pepperoni rolls, Clark bars, Hoffmanns hotdogs ( for DH from upstate NY) and those yummy buns split at the top as opposed to the side. Then I can't forget to get some Dairy Bar baked ham chipped for the ride home. And a stop at Sarris's candy is a must for the coconut clusters. I could go on and on....
re: chocchipcookie
I definitely agree with Pepperoni Rolls. I lived in Boston for 10 years and was amazed that they never made their way into other areas (I've only seen them in WV where I'm from). I had a WV product table at my wedding and handed out pepperoni rolls- there's really nothing funnier than watching my friends from New England debate whether it was safe to eat something that contains meat but that isn't refrigerated (they were fresh, BTW).
Hail to the garden state! where ya from? I'm living in NOLA and heading back to SJ next month. I bring back soft pretzels, pork roll, tastycakes, sub rolls and pepper shooters. Ever have a crusher sub? Basic italian meats/cheeses, onion, lettuce and crushed pepper shooters with the olive oil they've been soaked in...really good.
Diet canada dry ginger ale. I found it at a Kosher supermarket here in NOLA for $5.55 a six pack. After tax it's close to $30 a case! Fedexing it from Jersey is about $14/case.
In the summer it's tomatoes. I know it sounds silly but nothing tastes like a Jersey tomato...even after 1375 miles at 30,000 feet!
Can't wait to have some good pizza and a proper italian sub...3 weeks and counting!
re: chef4hire
You FedEx yourself diet Canada Dry ginger ale? Why not just ask a reasonably priced local market to consider stocking it? It's not like it's a fringe brand or specialty item.
re: Suzy Q
you betcha...when I need a fix I have it sent down...mylimited research told me that the canada dry products are delivered by a cadbury/schwepps route driver and there are none of these delivering in the metro area
the 7up (same company) comes from a different driver so it's easier to get
I'm not getting crazy...but sometimes a girl needs a vodka and diet ginger ale and I don't leave those moments up to chance
re: chef4hire
Lived in NYC for 5 years, Philly for 3, and then the greater Trenton area (dad still lives there) until 1980. I yearn for a DeLorenzo's tomato pie (pizza) and your SO right about Jersey Tomatoes. I bring home bushels every year and we eat tomato sandwiches with DUKES mayonaisse--culture blending!!
I can get Tastycakes here--hail to the Wawa chain for bringing softpretzels and tastycakes. I have a butterscotch krimpet or a candycake at least every couple of days.
Crusher sub sounds like a Muffelata or what we called a super in Trenton.
AND PEOPLE, you MUST go to Hoagie Haven on Nassau St. in Princeton. Get the souvlaki their way and a cheese steak.
Again, we can all go on and on...which is why I am asking!!
re: mamaciita
If I moved away from the south, I'd have to have friends ship me Dukes mayo!
Boiled peanuts and Blenheim Gingerale.
To mail order your fix go to www.BoiledPeanuts.com for The Lee Bros catalog.
re: BlueHerons
I am pretty sure that I have seen shipping info on my bottle of Dukes Mayo. I will check and see if there is a website for them. Well what do you know...
re: Sam at Novas
CF Sauer is right here in Richmond...Dukes is the cheapest mayo we have, as well as being super creamy!
Michigan transplant living in Florida. Since everyone here is from Somewhere Else, it's not that hard to find a lot of childhood cravings. Publix even stocks Faygo from time to time.
But whenever my parents come down here during fall they always bring down a bushel of apples and a couple gallons of cider bought right off the farm. While you can get passable apples down here, it's still nowhere as good as the ones that are grown for flavor and not travel stability, and the cider we get down here in the stores is just awful. They also bring Win Schuler's garlic chips and bar cheese- all hail the processed cheddar food that's actually tasty.
re: beachmouse
I'm a Michigander who goes to the Eastern shore of Maryland every year or so. We bring back picked crab in a cooler to freeze, TastyCakes for my friend from Philly, and I stock up on good, cheap cornmeal.
Having been born, and raised, in the Deep South, and then marrying a young lady from New Orleans, I was into food early in life. Have not lived in the South in 30 years, but do return to visit family.
On those trips, we often stock up on:
Zatarain's products
Olive salad
A lot of Tabasco products, not available in AZ
Grits from all around the South
Family always ships counter-to-counter fresh seafood
However, we dine throughout the Deep South, so we get our "fixes," without shipping a lot back.
I was born and raised in Southern IN, but I'm now living on the Southern Gulf Coast of FL. As another Floridian mentioned, we are very much a state of transplants so many stores are good at stocking items from all over the country. However, when I am back in IN I alway go to the apple orchard and stock up(in season) on apples I get to pick myself, cider, corn, and squash. I also make it a point to be around when all of my relatives huge homegrown tomatoes and watermelons are ripe. Both item are perfect at my aunt's wooden picnic table with a bit of salt, but I have had little success travelling with them. I generally also go to the local amish market/restaurant for what is literally the best apple butter and strawberry preserves available. One jar of each only lasts me about 6 weeks once I get them home. Finally, about once a year when up North, I will get a big box of grippos bbq chips to bring back with me. I am relocating to Biloxi, MS in the next few months, so we will see what South FL items I will be jonesing for then =)
I TOTALLY understand your post, chefsalad. As would anyone who's moved from one region to another. I've been in NC for 12 years and there are many, many things I love about living here and eating here... but there are certain foodstuffs not readily available down here. My list of things I stock up on when in PA are:
Ham spread (from the Italian deli where I buy hourds of things and freeze them)
Ham Loaf
Garlic Ring Bologna
Italian bread (although it doesn't stay fresh long... it's better made up there b/c of the water, i'm convinced. That's what my mother always said anyway)
Middleswarth Bbq Chips
Tomatoes - i love the tomatoes from the farm stands. I can find good tomatoes down here @ the Farmers Market but I've never been blown away by them here.
Pickled eggs
I used to love Ring Dings and yodels... your post cracked me up when I saw the Yodels! After school a pack of yodels, a sm. bag of Middleswarth bbq chips and a Mountain Dew... Jesus, it's no wonder I'm a diabetic!
re: lynnlato
I have been away from the boards for a few weeks but I have to remeber Garlic Ring Bologna. I used to take a length of ring bologna, a chunk of sharp provolone cheese, some Gibbles Potato Chips (or Herrs) and a Franks Grape soda as my lunch when I worked on a farm in Central NJ. And of course that single pack of Yodels with delicious waxy dark chocolate coating!
Also I have never been able to find fresh ricotta cheese down here...the kind that is quite perishable and comes in a can with holes in the bottom. I eat it for breakfast, and I'll put it on pasta with fresh tomato sauce I make to put up with the bushel of tomatoes I bring back from Jersey. Fortunately I can grow some wonderful basil for 7 months out of the year, and that makes a nice sauce. Hot pasta, fresh tomato basil sauce with lots of garlic, and a big spoonful of ricotta...summer in NJ.
AND...I really miss Apple Cider Donuts from Terhune's Orchards...
re: chefsalad
Oh yes, the tomatoes! I've never had a finer tomato than those I got at the roadside stands in PA. I was so excited to move down here b/c I thought they would have even better tomatoes! Imagine my disappointment. :-(
But you're right... we can grow basil almost year round down here.
I've never had ricotta from a can w/ holes. I'm so curious.
When I was living in Nashville and visiting California, I'd always have to pack a loaf or two of SF sourdough bread in the suitcase going home...but after twenty-some years there, Nashville became home to a couple of excellent artisan bakeries. So now that I'm back in California, whenever we go back to Nashville for a visit I pick up two loaves of Bread & Company's Pane Bello to take home! I also go to my old neighborhood store and get Martha White self-rising cornmeal mix, White Lily flour, some dry-cured country bacon...and I always try to be there around midday so I can get one of their excellent plate lunches to go. That doesn't get packed!
I'm originally from Cleveland, and I like to bring back Italian bread, Stadium Mustard and Great Lakes Brewery beer. The mustard and beer just aren't available here, and while I can get some decent Italian bread from the market at George's Garage in Durham (NC), I rarely find myself over there, so it's a treat to have it. I also can't find cassata cake here the way they make it in the Cleveland and Pittsburgh areas, so I also like to have some while I am there. It doesn't travel well, though, so my only alternative if I want some here is to make it myself - and that's a 2-day operation, so that doesn't happen often!
I'll probably also have to break down and buy some pierogis the next time I visit, as my husband loves them and the only ones I've been able to find here are the frozen ones at the grocery store. They're fine, but there is more variety and freshness to be found at the places that make them from scratch. And I'm too lazy to do it myself. :)
I'm living in NYC and lived in Kentucky until high school.
From north to south, I import smoked whitefish / trout, lox, bagels, Zabar's babka, dried abalone, high quality Chinese tea, black sesame candy.
From south to north, I 'smuggle' bourbon, Ruth Hunt bourbon balls, protein / nutrition bars (generally 2/3 the price as they're sold for in NYC).
I'm a Southerner who's lived in SoCal for half my life, since I was 22. Fortunately, my neighborhood has a large African American population, which means a reasonable supply of grits, washed and bagged collards and turnip greens (!), and Little Debbie's. But I still have to go "home" once a year to get my fix of country ham and Tennessee tomatoes (apologies to New Jersey). I've become such a Californian, I really think were I to move back to the South, I'd really be in trouble. Real Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, et. al, not to mention the wine and sane liquor laws.
re: vickib
chefsalad, what a nice list of items I have always taken for granted.
However, be sufficiently pleased that we here in NY will never have the grits and chicken fried steak that you can get, respectively, for breakfast and lunch today.
re: Oh Robin
Drake's sells mail order direct...shipping makes it a delicacy, but the per box price is very reasonable.
I*m a ohio Yankee but I have a sister who lives in Asheville NC. I always take her bacon, trail bologna and cheese from a Amish producer, but I bring home White Lilly flour and Blenheim ginger ale. I did acquire a small bottle of moonshine where I was there in 1999.
I always have to have plenty of western Carolina BBQ with hush puppies while I am there.
re: Kelli2006
Hushpuppies are God's Own Food, and proof that he loves us. :)
re: romansperson
My fave Asheville place is a joint called "Little Pigs". They have great sandwiches, but their hush puppies have a lot of real jalapeño pepper in them. I could live off just them and ice tea.
re: Kelli2006
Not wanting to start a thread just for and having been led here for 'Suzy Q's', I just wanted to report that Oreo's faux Suzy Q 'Cakesters' are dis-gusting. There is no other word for them. They are sugar surrounded by fat.
While poised with a box of them yesterday, I was 'trying' to remember the name Suzy Q. I'll have to see if they're still made.
But if they're not and if you're jonesing for a similar product, do not, repeat, do not pick up Oreo Cakester as a way of compensating.
re: dolores
Polite disagree.
Those cakesters are the bomb.
re: dolores
i totally agree w/ you dolores. i was so excited to try a cakester a few months ago, and well, you can imagine the disappointment cuz i love all things oreo. i actually spit it out, and i am a sugar junkie!
I grew up in New Jersey (Berkeley Heights) and moved to Evansville, IN. Then, I went to Massachusetts, and then down to beautiful Greenville, South Carolina. By the time I left SC I was 22, so my food tastes weren't extremely sophisticated!
When I was in the south I missed 4 things terribly:
1. Good Chinese food of any sort. Sorry folks, but that stuff I had in both places was horrible!
2. Good Italian food of any kind. The Olive Garden just never cut it - even back then.
3. Bagels! I never met a bagel down there that was anywhere close to acceptable.
4. Drakes cakes and tasty cakes. Especially devil dogs, coffee cake, funny bones, and crumpets.
re: puppymomma
I grew up in Evansvile, IN. Love the area, it's my hometown, but as far as eats go, it's franchise hell.
re: ArikaDawn
Sorry to hear that; there used to be some really good homegrown food during my brief acquaintance - my family moved there in '59 and stayed six or seven years, but I went into the Air Force right away and visited just a few times. But the Farmer's Daughter downtown was nice, if not exactly fine dining, and Mac's Barbecue was still going strong well into the '70s; I was living in Nashville, but my boss was from Evansville, and whenever he went up there a bunch of us would give him BBQ orders, because it was so much better than most of our local stuff.

Patients with cancer of the head and neck are at risk of malnutrition during radiotherapy treatment due to the side effects of this treatment and they may need tube feeding to meet their nutritional needs.
Tube feeding can either be delivered via a nasogastric feeding tube, which is a fine tube inserted through the nose into the stomach, or a gastrostomy tube which is inserted through the skin of the abdomen directly into the stomach. Both of these methods allow the delivery of nutrients directly into the stomach.
Tube feeding is essential to meet the nutritional needs of head and neck cancer patients as malnutrition can lead to a poorer prognosis for this patient group. There is debate over which method of tube feeding provides the most benefit to the patient for outcomes such as nutritional benefit and quality of life, as well as avoiding delays in radiotherapy treatment.
Following our analysis of the available literature, only one clinical trial was eligible to be included in this review. The authors of this review found no evidence to support the use of any one method of tube feeding over another.

Distress in a couple is often the result of one or both members of the couple trying not to be vulnerable in order to protect themselves from pain and disappointment, but this invulnerability prohibits the flow of more positive emotions that lead to healthier relationships. My experience has been that in order to bring down the walls of self-protection we need to approach the problem from at least four directions: improving communication skills through exercises, understanding the historical issues and expectations that are brought into the relationship, understanding what each individual partner is trying to work through in the relationship, and processing the issues as they arrive in the here a....
The majority of my practice is couples and adult individuals struggling with relationship and mood problems. All marriages and relationships succeed and fail bases on three simple things that are at their core about respect: Contracts, Civility and Fairness. 1) Contracts mean people do what they say they will do when they say they will do it and they honor their commitments and obligations. 2) Civility means people curtail abusive and hostile acts and language. 3) Fairness means both people contribute roughly equal amounts of time and energy in service of the family even if the "family" is just the couple.
I have worked with couples for over 12 years in a multitude of areas; cohabitating, committed relationships, marriage, LGBT, having affairs....My mission is for everyone to have an outlet to be heard, learn to communicate effectively and create happiness through introspection and communication and find the best outcome for stress reduction and overall long term happiness.
Have you been feeling misunderstood by your partner?
Do you feel like your communication is breaking down?
Do you feel under-appreciated?
Sometimes it feels like you and your partner are increasingly living on two different islands, and it seems impossible to bridge the gap, though you've tried everything.
Of course your energy is waning; it's exhausting to constantly take steps forward only to slide backwards again!
Together, we can create a safe space to work through the distance between you, and find a way back to common ground.
Please call me at 914-355-0517 for a free phone consultation to discuss more about what's happening for you, and how I may be helpful.
I work with couples to become more conscious and intentional in their interactions. I teach couples specific communication skills to break destructive patterns of relating. I encourage each partner to look and their own behavior and how they may be contributing to the problems. I explore with couples how the problems they are having in their current relationship are related to their experiences in childhood. I work with couples on eliminating reactivity by implementing self-soothing techniques. My goal with couples is to have both partners feel heard and understood by each other.
I do relationship counseling as well as pre-marital, marital and divorce counseling. Usually communication is the most important factor in maintaining a lasting relationship. It is also important to develop mutual satisfying activities of many kinds. I have been married for more than 40 years, so I can help them understand the ups and downs of a lasting relationship and how to repair any damage that has occurred.
People have different life experiences, cultural backgrounds and often different religious backgrounds. Those factors combine to shape who they are and influence their perceptions, behaviors and approaches to dealing with differences that occur in any relationship. My job is to first help the couple sort out causes for the problems. From that basis I focus on helping them implement specific skills for overcoming repetitive counter-productive interaction to improve understanding and communication with better conflict resolution ability for restoring and growing a stronger and more satisfying bond
It wasn't always this way. There was a time you looked forward to being with each other. You both trusted and enjoyed each other's company. You felt understood and accepted for being yourself. In couple's counseling, Hal offers you the opportunity to find the hidden strengths in the heart and soul of your relationship. Hal has helped hundreds of couples to improve communication and increase trust. Hal is very well respected and experienced in couple's counseling. In addition, he is a published author and was invited to appear on David Letterman's Late Night television program.
Hal's schedule is flexible and appointments are available on evenings and weekends. Call Hal at (516) 439-4282
Many of the challenges faced by couples--married or not--involve an attempt to balance the desire for personal intimacy with the need for a sense of personal autonomy, although this is not necessarily obvious initially. I work with couples to help them achieve such a balance, while helping them develop a sensitivity to each other's needs. I also attempt to generate solutions that are experienced as fair and just by both parties, while maintaining my own impartiality. An especially valuable aspect of couples counseling for some involves evaluating whether the couple is a likely prospect for a marital relationship.
Some therapists may recommend to a particular couple that the partners engage first in individual therapy, separately, before engaging in couples work. If both partners are not able to maintain a certain level of insight, responsibility, and maturity in their communications, couples work will be ineffective. For relationship counseling to significantly help a relationship, each partner needs to have a commitment to the relationship, or, at least to the couples counseling for the time it continues. Each partner must be generally honest, self-aware, and interested in doing relationship work to have an optimal outcome. Some couples need therapy to help end a relationship in a healthy manner.

MiraCosta College's Theatre Department is proud to present "Blood Wedding", one of Federico Garcia Lorca's most passion-driven plays, which is set to open November 15 at the MiraCosta College Theatre, located at 1 Barnard Drive, Oceanside. Eric Bishop will direct.
"Blood Wedding" was first performed in Madrid in 1933. Packed with emotion, the play is set in rural Spain and poetically portrays two past lovers and the depth of their feelings for each other. The play is centered on the impending marriage of La Novia (The Bride) and El Novio (The Groom). As the big day edges closer, emotions conflict as a love triangle takes "Blood Wedding" into a trembling downward spiral of passion and despair. "This is a challenging, thought-provoking, powerfully poetic and beautifully imagistic play that goes hand-in-hand with the playwright Federico Garcia Lorca's quote, 'A play is a poem standing up'," said Bishop.The cast features Mariana Chacon as The Bride, Timothy Cabal as The Groom, Jose Balistrieri as Leonardo, Patricia Fa'asua as The Mother and Camilla Elizabet as The Mother-in-Law. Rounding out the cast are Sophia Richards, Melba Novoa, Khamisi Butler, Sean Hale, Bryan Taylor, Caroline Floto, Jesse Trout, Daniel Liuag, Kelly Saunders, Courtney Nedelman, Rachael Hode, Ryan Hook, Justin Carty, Marlon Chow, Matthew Abosamra, Carol Naegle, Kelsey Cyganik, Johanna Deleissegues, Carolyn Lieberman, Eric Foster and Ed Fishwick.Performances are scheduled for November 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 7:30 p.m., and November 17, 23, 24 at 2 p.m. General admission is $15; seniors/staff, $12; and students, $12. A preview performance is scheduled for November 14 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the preview are $10 for all seats.Tickets are available online at www.miracosta.edu/buytix or by calling the MiraCosta College Box Office at 760.795.6815.

Fishing ClosuresJuly 7th, 2010 at 4:56 pm by Jason Smith under FOX10 Stormtracker Weather, Jason Smith - FOX10 Outdoors
Confused by the fishing closures ? You are not alone. Each state has its own specific closure areas. The Feds have their closure too, which is by far the largest and the most restrictive.
All offshore Federal waters within 100 miles of here are closed – no fishing of any kind. The area of Federal waters begins off our beaches by 3-7 miles and extends beyond the range of most boats. Updates can be found at:
Some state waters are open, however…
Mississippi State Waters: all areas along Gulf beaches and MS Sound are closed, no fishing, period. Back bays and bayous are open. Updates can be found at:
Alabama State Waters: MS Sound and Gulf Beaches – catch and release only. Mobile Bay is fully open to fishing except for a small area right at the mouth of the bay. Updates can be found at:
Florida State Waters: (Gulf Beaches) Perdido Key to Pensacola Beach – catch and release only. Everything else is fully open. Updates can be found at:
Catch and Release Trend…
Florida started this concept and all other Gulf Coast States have followed along. You can fish, but all species must be returned to the water immediately. Louisiana has extensive areas that are closed, but now allow catch and release fishing as of June 6th.
Mississippi is the only state that prohibits catch and release fishing in the "caution" areas.
"This option has been on the table for some time now and is part of our ongoing effort to be proactive as we continue to write the playbook on this event," said Chief of Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Robert Branham.
"Many fish for the pure pleasure of catching and then releasing already. We see no reason why that activity can't continue," said Alabama Conservation Commissioner Barnett Lawley.
There are no reports of tainted fish in our waters. The affects of hydrocarbons on fish are still be studied. Expect more changes as we go along…

The top 10 Taiwanese restaurants in Toronto
The top Taiwanese restaurants in Toronto are (surprise, surprise) located far from the downtown core. While there are many Chinese restaurants in the heart of Toronto that serve a Taiwanese dish or two, you need to look at the city's northern edges to find entire restaurants dedicated to this rather underrated cuisine.
The flavours of Taiwanese dishes are usually quite distinct, though the food itself never feels so rich that it causes a food coma. The three-cup chicken (san bei ji), popcorn chicken (no relation to the KFC variety), stinky tofu, and beef noodle soup are some of the more recognizable examples of Taiwanese cooking. The best part is that these dishes are, generally, very reasonably priced, making them great for both your wallet and your tastebuds.
Here are my picks for the top Taiwanese restaurants in Toronto.
Papa Chang
A regular in Asian night market festivals across the GTA, Papa Chang isn't going to win any points for its ambience (eating there feels oddly like dining in a brightly-lit warehouse that happens to have chairs and tables all over it). But if you're craving Taiwanese street food along with home-cooked favourites, few can top their menu. Delicious fish skewers, popcorn chicken bento boxes, beef noodle soups, Taiwanese pancakes and flatbreads - oh my! The best part? A meal for two, including side dishes, isn't going to cost you much more than $20.
Taipei Chin Yuan Pai Ku
While this isn't a restaurant, per se, there is no way that I can exclude this food court gem from my list. For around $6.50, you can choose any of their six or seven different set items (the Taiwanese pork chop is the most popular). Mixed with some of their homemade pickles and hot sauce, it is insanely delicious, extremely tender, ridiculously cheap, and only slightly unhealthy (OK, that may just be wishful thinking on my part). Shame that the seats in the food court aren't too comfortable.
Ten Ren's Tea Time
To the untrained eye, this looks like just an upscale bubble tea café. But that is where you, young grasshopper, are mistaken. This Richmond Hill location of the hugely popular Taiwanese chain does way more than serving up tea; there's also plenty of food, along with tea-inspired snacks. Their cheap lunch and dinner specials, which are always changing (both in selection and price) are worth looking out for.
Mei Nung Beef Noodle House
Beef noodle soup is, to many, the epitome of Taiwanese comfort food, and Mei Nung serves one of the best versions, hands-down. For around $7, you can get the large-sized variety, and when that chewy noodle and strong-tasting dark broth hit your tongue, you'll know it was money well-spent. The surprisingly good stinky tofu is also one of the restaurant's specialties, but (true to its name) be warned that if you're a little averse to malodorous fumes, you may find yourself pinching your nose as you eat here. Then again, there's always the take-out option.
Tai Ping Hsiang
If you're in the mood for Taiwanese bento boxes, you can do worse than this long-standing restaurant/takeout joint in Metro Square. Located a stone's throw away from Chin Yuan Pai Ku, this mom-and-pop operation specializes in cheap and delicious lunch boxes with ever-changing contents. The popcorn chicken and vegetables is always a sure hit, while the blood pudding and fish cake side dish is much more delicious than it sounds. The lunch sets won't cost you more than $7, which is also a plus. Take note: Service can be a bit hit-or-miss.
Wiki Star
Blink and you'll miss this extremely well-hidden restaurant, located in a small nook in Northtown Way, a North York strip packed with culinary marvels. Once you do find it, however, you will be delighted as you munch on your $5.99 three-cup chicken on rice and sip one of their many bubble tea varieties. Never in my life have I witnessed so much food selection in such a small, confined space. Take-out only due to the establishment's size (I really cannot emphasize this strongly enough). Also, it's cash-only.
Wei's Taiwanese Food
This popular Scarborough restaurant is so dedicated to providing you with Taiwanese food that they even sell their own line of frozen Taiwanese dishes. Their actual store-cum-restaurant is rather modest, but you can regularly find quite a lot of diners feasting on their specialty stinky tofu (bad smell, better taste) for $3.99 or the equally-famous three-cup chicken on rice for just north of $5. Don`t forget to check out their perfect-for-work-lunch frozen dishes, like the sticky rice or the Taiwanese meatballs, for only $2.99 (no, seriously).
T&T Supermarket
OK, this isn't a Taiwanese restaurant. In fact, it's not even a restaurant. However, the roots of this large Asian arm of the Loblaw Group are undeniably Taiwanese: T&T was founded as a joint venture with Uni-President, one of the state's largest food conglomerates. That influence still shines through today at the multiple T&T locations in the GTA. You can regularly find many fried Taiwanese street-style foods, along with a surprisingly excellent three-cup chicken in the cooked foods aisle, and the bubble teas here are pretty good for $1.99, if not exactly stellar.
Lohas Café
I only recently realized that Lohas means "Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability", but for me it just means yummy Taiwanese noodle soups. Despite its rather unremarkable location (alongside many similar-looking restaurants in First Markham Place), this modest restaurant has a steady stream of regulars. Noodles are the specialty; my go-to is the minced pork noodle with bean sauce. At just under $6, coupling it with one of their milk teas is a great way to round off a weekend evening.
Mabu Station
Located in the heart of Koreatown North, Mabu Station is a little bit café, a little bit restaurant, and a little bit dessert place. This modern, cheerful restaurant is one of the few in Toronto to serve oyster pancakes; while they won't be mistaken for the ones from downtown Taipei, the dish more than holds its own. The three-cup chicken isn't bad, but I could sip on their Oreo milk tea forever. Non-Mandarin-speakers may find the servers' relative lack of English skills a bit daunting.
What did I miss? Add your favourite Taiwanese restaurants to the comments below.

3. The Chase Taiwanese Grocery Store 1675 The Chase, Mississauga
There's too much corn starch coating and you can literally pick it off like a film. The side dishes are still great - a veg, a soy sauce braised egg and some tofu stir fry.
Glad you have Papa Chang at the very top of the list. Although new kid on the block, it's the best non-secret in Markham. The popcorn chicken is #1 in the city.
Check the website for more detail,
Also check out the summer night markets of Night it Up in Markham, and Waterfront Night Market near T+T.
Does anyone know of any places that do a traditional Taiwanese breakfast here? Dan bing, dou jiang etc? I know it wouldn't be too difficult to make myself...but I've just been having a craving for my local breakie shop over there...there must be a place in Toronto, no?

"Long time ago on a planet long forgotten by time, a young hero was born, a righteous Saiyan warrior who would bring peace to the galaxy. This... is not his story."So you've got your hero. He practically has a giant neon sign over his head that says he's a hero. It might be subtle, but it's fairly obvious you've found the guy who'll save the day, get the girl, and live a long and hap— what the? Did he just get bitten in half by a mutant T. Rex? Some books, films, or games like to mix things up and throw viewers for a loop by revealing that the Standardized Leader isn't The Hero. This can be very dramatic; there are few more effective ways to showcase Anyone Can Die than taking out the apparent protagonist. It can also be used comedically, revealing that the guy who thinks he's the protagonist is just a glorified bit player. Sometimes the Decoy Protagonist will turn out to be the antagonist. Intro-Only Point of View frequently is used to emphasize his importance before The Reveal. What happens next is the guy we perceive of as The Lancer, Side Kick, or even a fringe loner takes center stage as the real protagonist (maybe even Hero). Usually they reveal a much greater level of personal integrity and strength of will than previously thought, despite their Dark and Troubled Past. Note that this does not necessarily involve the death of the initial protagonist, although that is often how this trope expresses itself. If the target actually dies, they're often a Sacrificial Lion. If the character actually was The Hero, see Take Up My Sword. Also see Dead Star Walking. In video games, this can overlap with And Now for Someone Completely Different; compare First-Person Peripheral Narrator, where the narrator is obviously not the protagonist. For the villainous version of this trope, see Disc One Final Boss. Contrast Passing the Torch, Red Herring Shirt, Disc One Final Boss, The Unchosen One, Supporting Leader, Non-Protagonist Resolver. Not to be confused with Supporting Protagonist, which is simply that the focus is on another character than the hero, or Fake Ultimate Hero, who doesn't appear to be the protagonist. As this is frequently a Death Trope, beware spoilers:

Hours after President Obama's young Deputy National Security Advisor, the fiction-writer Ben Rhodes, announced that the "red line" in Syria had been crossed and that his boss was about to start arming the Syrian rebels, the usual suspects have again crawled out of their shells to gleefully finger the dog-eared pages of their favorite weapons catalogues…
Witness Foreign Policy's John Hudson, who updates his March 2013 full color glossy guide to "The weapons that could change the game in Syria" to inform us of the president's decision.
Who did he turn to in his March article for all the breathless details on the glowing death machines? None other than Jeffrey White, of the notorious Washington Institute for Near East Policy — otherwise known as "AIPAC's Think-Tank." WINEP and its sister organizations, AIPAC and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies have heartily encouraged the shift. Now that they have their way it is time to trot out the war porn, bring the uniformed "experts" back on to the television screen to talk weapons and tactics in a blistering staccato of acronym and jargon that delights the warmonger's ears.
It's 2003 all over again!

Dale Sveum shakes up batting order, puts Joe Mather third

Updated: July 3, 2012 11:12AM
PITTSBURGH — With no help from the outside on the way anytime soon, Cubs manager Dale Sveum is turning to Joe Mather to pick up his flagging lineup.
It was either that or draw his lineup out of a hat.
"You never know. Sometimes you pick a lineup out of a hat and you win,'' Sveum said. "I wasn't going to go that far.''
Considering a lineup that has been among the worst in the National League all season — and has averaged two runs per game in the last week — how far did Sveum come from the hat trick?
"Not too far,'' he said.
Instead, it was Mather — one of the team's most productive hitters, albeit in a part-time role — taking over the No. 3 spot in the order Friday and playing center field.
It was the first time this season the Cubs' No. 3 hitter wasn't Starlin Castro, who hit second.
"It's time,'' said Sveum, who considered making this move after an ugly series against the White Sox last weekend.
"The combination of not really scoring throughout the whole season and that Mather's been as good as anybody swinging the bat, I'm going to give him an opportunity to see if he can spark us and drive the ball and do some things.''
That means a starting job until further notice, Sveum said, including some third base and possibly another position or two.
For now, it means cutting into Tony Campana's playing time, but the tradeoff is extra-base potential.
"For a little while, I'm going to commit to Mather and see what happens,'' Sveum said.
Close but no closer
With Carlos Marmol (hamstring) scheduled for a minor-league rehab appearance Friday night — then one more Sunday — the Cubs anticipate a return from the disabled list for the relief pitcher Tuesday at home.
But Sveum said he doesn't see Marmol back in the closer role anytime soon.
"He'll still have to prove to me that he can throw strikes,'' Sveum said, "just like the game plan was when he was taken out of the closer role. Nothing's changed that way.''
Marmol was removed from the closer job three weeks ago and strained his hamstring in a game about a week later.
The Cubs and Reds rescheduled their May 1 rainout in Cincinnati as a 12:10 p.m. opener to a day-night doubleheader Aug. 18.
◆ Ian Stewart was scratched from the lineup because of a flare-up of the soreness in his wrist he has played with all season. "Give it a day and see what happens,'' Sveum said.
◆ Catcher Steve Clevenger (oblique), who is holding up well during a minor-league rehab stint at AAA Iowa, is expected to build up to catching nine innings in multiple games next week before possibly rejoining the team for its trip to San Francisco at the end of the week.

All quotes tagged Tear
(942 quotes found)
"When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough."
"The tears of faithfulness to your beliefs cleanse your spirit to envision the road ahead. Everything is possible for the person who believes."
"Tears are the symbol of the inability of the soul to restrain its emotion and retain its self command."
"So hold her closer when she cries, hold her closer when she feels. She needs a hand to hold, someone who will never let her go again. And hold him closer when he tries to hold the tears back from his eyes. Don't say goodbye."
"Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."
