Meatless Monday
Staff Picks ›
What's the Meatless Monday team cooking up at home? These cookbook titles will give you a glimpse into their kitchens. You might just like to pick one up for yourself, or as last minute gift idea.
Stefanie Sacks Says
What's in Your Food ›
On January 1, Stefanie Sacks will release the highly anticipated What The Fork Are You Eating? An Action Plan for Your Pantry and Plate. Within the pages, Stefanie provides an aisle-by-aisle rundown of how to shop for healthier items and create simple, nutritious, and delicious meals. It is a book that challenges the assumptions we make when we see descriptors like "natural," "low-fat," and "sugar-free" used on packaging. And the book is an attempt to show how small changes in diet can make a big difference.
It seems safe to assume that statements on food packaging are vetted and will invariably help you make healthy choices. Yet some of those seemingly healthy offerings contain pesticides, chemical preservatives, and artificial flavors and coloring that negatively affect your health. In What the Fork Are You Eating?, Stephanie identifies the most offensive ingredients in our food and shows how we can cut (or at least minimize) them from our diets. The book is an overview of what's really in your food and it's an action plan with 50 delicious recipes.
As a culinary nutritionist, author, radio show host, educator, speaker, and consultant, Stefanie Sacks has studied food and nutrition for over 25 years. She earned her Masters of Science in nutrition education from Columbia University. Then she went on to become a Certified Nutrition Specialist and Certified Dietitian Nutritionist and graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts.
Not only is she a seasoned culinary nutritionist, she's also a blogger, a radio host, and a longtime friend of Meatless Monday. On her radio program Stirring the Pot with Stefanie Sacks, she recently sat down with Sid Lerner, Founder and Chairman of the Monday Campaigns to discuss the Meatless Monday initiative and how to define sustainable eating.
"We have a much larger responsibility," Stefanie said during the broadcast, "and if we can all just do a little something we can start to feel some movement. America is the fattest and sickest nation and so it would benefit everyone if they jumped on the Meatless Monday Band Wagon. It would make a difference not only for your health but also for the environment."
Set to release January first, What the Fork Are You Eating? could very well help you commit to a healthy-eating plan as a New Year's resolution.
Have a Happy,
Healthy Holiday ›
As the holidays approach with all their cheer and good spirit, you might be tempted to overindulge. So invariably you can find tips to avoid overeating and various admonishments that show the benefits of eating less. But we'll take a softer approach, here—if you do gorge, try to gorge smartly. Vegetables offer more dietary fiber than meats. So eat more vegetables and a little less meat—a little less brisket and a little more cauliflower latkes, a little less ham and a little more green beans. And if that fails, you can always reclaim your dignity by eating light the day after.
Here are five festive dishes that will keep your table light.
BARLEY RISOTTO is a filling meal that keeps the menu light but still provides plenty of flavor. Risotto is the perfect one-dish crowd pleaser, and using barley instead of the traditional white rice adds extra healthy benefits.
BAKED ROSEMARY POLENTA This dish provides everything we typically expect from a holiday meal – aromatic rosemary, savory mushrooms and comforting, creamy polenta.
SPICY LENTIL POMEGRANATE TART This is a festive holiday showstopper that's worth the extra effort. If you're putting together a holiday spread, put this on your plate of tasty nibbles, slice it into bite-sized pieces and watch the oohs and ahhs ensue.
ARTICHOKE STUFFING BITES Everyone looks forward to stuffing during the holidays, but it's not written in stone that the dish has to come from inside a bird, or be served at a dinner table This snackable version is a crowd pleaser, and the artichoke leaves lend the dish a healthful, seasonal quality.
RED PEPPER PESTO PÂTÉ Something spreadable is always a hit at holiday parties, and this festive version relies on layers of pepper purees, not cheese, to create a lighter, healthier, but still indulgent appetizer for holiday guests.
Batali's Cookbook
Celebrates Small Farms ›
This October, Mario Batali released a cookbook that challenges the standard approach of many other cookbooks. In America: Farm to Table, Mario elevates the farmer onto a stage that was previously occupied—almost exclusively—by the chef.
Acknowledging the importance of local farmers and their connection to the earth and commitment to the craft, Mario presents the recipes within America: Farm to Table in a manner that creates an intimacy between the home chef and the farmer and—by extension—the home chef and the food. In reading the cookbook, you'll find not only recipes but you'll discover the personalities and pluck of a few specific small farmers. You'll gain an understanding of the farmers' relationship to what they produce, and you'll gain a greater appreciation for the ingredients that go into what you cook.
Mario writes, "The single most important trick to elevating the home cook's potential to create quality, restaurant-level food is much simpler: It is the sourcing of quality ingredients." These "quality ingredients" are not the product of large commercial farming, but the bounty of small farms. Mario's own relationship with small farms stems from his youth. In the book he reminisces about hour-long drives through Washington State to pick up a few cases of farm fresh tomatoes to cook and can at home. It was a time when the supermarkets hadn't yet stifled the direct relationship between a family who wants to eat and a farmer who wants to grow.
"The farmer and the cook exchange not only commerce in the form of a trade, but also joy and passion for food, health, and love of life in the form of real communication."
In America: Farm to Plate, you'll travel across America making stops at small local farms. You'll meet Alex Weiser of Weiser Family Farms, who can go to a local restaurant and tell you who farmed each ingredient in his salad just by sight and taste. And you'll meet Tim Stark, who started a large crop of heirloom tomatoes in his Brooklyn apartment, seedlings he'd eventually have to move to Pennsylvania so they would have enough room to grow.
Mario holds local farms in high esteem, not only for what they can do for the plate, but in the broader sense what they can do for the world. "I believe," he writes, "that the fundamental truth of supporting local small farming may in fact be a panacea for many of our 21st century problems in both nutrition and regional economic development." Regarding health, Mario goes on to write of America's obsession with processed foods and the connection to a decline in our national health. He points to the lack of plant-based fiber in our diets as a major contributor to heart disease and diabetes.
America: Farm to Table offers over 100 recipes that celebrate local and wholefoods and promises to help rekindle the relationship between farmer and home cook.
EWG's Free App Looks
Behind the Label ›
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) recently launched Food Scores: Rate Your Plate™, a website and app that scores foods on a 10-point scale, evaluating the nutritional value, ingredients, and processing of foods: nutritional concerns—measures calories, fats, sugar, salt, and fiber content; ingredients concerns—considers food additives, hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides; and processing concerns—estimates how much the food has been processed.
The database contains over 80,000 foods. On the website you can type the name of the food item and they'll score the food. Beyond the number, they'll break down reasons why the product received the given score. With the mobile app version, you can scan a UPC code of a food item on a shelf and gain the same information. EWG Food Scores has the potential to change health and buying patterns.
"In many cases what we see on offer in aisle after aisle of the supermarket doesn't really qualify, in our view, almost as food," said Ken Cook, EWG's president and cofounder. "It's a series of packaged products that convey salt, sugar and other ingredients that often have very little to do with nourishment and everything to do with exactly what Americans want to avoid."
The food industry spends billions of dollars marketing unhealthy foods as "healthy" and creates packaging that makes highly processed products look and sound nutritious. The word "natural" has become essentially meaningless, though consumers continue to look for it. Hopefully the EWG Food Score resource will change that.
FDA Mandates Calorie
Counts Nationwide ›
The FDA has just released its final rules mandating that chain restaurants, movie theaters, amusement parks, convenience stores, and prepared food departments in grocery stores will all have to post calorie counts on their menus. The mandate is part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. After years of delays and strong pushback from restaurants and retailers, the policy will take effect in most locations in one year.
Public health experts say the new requirements will help combat the country's obesity epidemic by showing Americans just how many calories exist in their favorite foods.
"This is one of the most important public health nutrition policies ever to be passed nationally," said Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "Right now, you are totally guessing at what you are getting. This rule will change that."
In addition to calorie counts for food items, postings must also include the general guideline of 2000 calories a day for adults. This is a crucial piece of information according to a new study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Published online in Health Promotion Practice, the study surveyed 246 participants dining in the Johns Hopkins Hospital cafeteria to assess their initial knowledge of the 2,000-calorie guideline. The cafeteria included calorie labels for food choices but no information on the daily context. Fifty-eight percent of participants could not correctly identify the 2,000-calorie value, even those with college or graduate degrees.
"Given the low level of calorie literacy, simply posting calorie counts on menu boards is not sufficient," says study leader Lawrence J. Cheskin, MD. In order to help educate the public about the 2000-calorie guideline, The Monday Campaigns will soon launch a new initiative called Monday 2000. "When people know their calorie 'budget' for the day," says Dr. Cheskin, "they have context for making healthier meal and snack choices." Weekly reminders on Mondays could be the key to helping establish that context.
'Tis the Season for
a Meatless Potluck ›
As the holiday season grows near, there is temptation to overindulge in unhealthy foods. But an office potluck doesn't have to be an unhealthy affair. Do a Meatless Monday potluck and it will test your office's ingenuity. It will also accommodate any in-office vegetarians.
Here are a few tips on how to launch a successful Meatless Monday office potluck—
1. Get organized: Pick a date, time, and location. Email your participants and ask everyone to sign up for a main dish, salad, side dish, dessert, or beverage. Encourage some attendees to choose dishes that can be served cold to minimize the need for everyone to use the office microwave at once.
2. Keep in mind that prepared dishes shouldn't be without refrigeration for more than four hours: Check with whomever is responsible for clearing out the office fridge to make sure there will be enough space on the day of your event. If possible, post a sign stating that the fridge will be cleared on Friday afternoon to make room for Monday's meal.
3. Have some large microwave-safe glass or ceramic dishes available: Attendees may want to transport their dishes in plastic or aluminum, but for those who do bring dishes that must be heated, glass and ceramic are considered safest for microwave use. And don't forget serving spoons.
4. Use sticky notes: Have attendees label their dishes and list potential allergens—like nuts, milk, eggs, wheat and soy. Encourage each contributor to include their name on the label so that those who enjoy the dish can ask for the recipe.
The Israeli Parliament
Meatless Monday ›
Meatless Monday is now served up at the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) cafeteria. This achievement—the labor of Meatless Monday Israel's founder Miki Haimiovich and MK Rabbi Dov Lipman—was over a year in the making.
Now the 120 seats of the Knesset, whose influence passes all laws and elects the Israeli President and Prime Minister, will hear the Meatless Monday message, and they'll have the opportunity to try some new meatless options. The Knesset has announced that in support of the Meatless Monday initiative, they will increase their vegetarian entrees on Meatless Monday. These new meatless cafeteria additions are the creation of Sodexo. As the largest food service provider in the world, Sodexo has already helped to usher in its fair share of Meatless Monday change.
The Meatless Monday Israel campaign has picked up a considerable number of supporters since its start in 2012. More than 300,000 individuals have adopted the program and so have dozens of organizations, companies, schools and restaurants. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife are likewise on board with Meatless Monday and made their support publicly known near the end of 2013.
Of the achievement, MK Dov Lipman (Yesh Atid) said he was "proud that the Knesset participated in this project, related as it is to environmental quality, health and ethics. When it comes to reducing meat consumption, everybody wins: the planet, our health and animals. One meatless day may not sound like much, but together we can make significant change."
The Vegetable-Side
of Thanksgiving ›
Let's lay our stuffing on the table—on Thanksgiving Day in most households, the turkey is king. And that's perfectly fine. But don't forget those unsung heroes—the yams, the string beans and carrots, the salads and casseroles.
What do vegetables bring to the party? Well a number of things:
Color—eating a variety of different colors helps to ensure you are getting the right nutrients.Also if you decide to stack your plate only with turkey, stuffing, rolls and gravy, your meal will be a light taupe. While light taupe is a fine color and very respectable in a pressed khaki pant, on the plate (by itself) it is a little boring. And your Thanksgiving does not have to be boring.
Flavor—according to a 2012 study, diners found the main course tasted better when served with vegetables. So you'll actually be making the turkey taste better by including several sides of vegetables. And when it comes to flavor, what could be more exquisite than biting into a well-seasoned brussel sprout?
Texture—having a diversity of textures on your plate adds a new dimension to the meal. Think of the crispy breadcrumbs on the green bean casserole.
Respect—according to the aforementioned study, serving vegetables with a meal, increases the chances that diners will find the cook more thoughtful and attentive.
This Thanksgiving Day, serve your guests vegetables and you'll not only be promoting their health and enhancing the meal, you also be encouraging them to think, "What a kind human being, you are"! Here are a few recipes to help you do it.
Quote of the Week:
Tony Cárdenas ›
On November 13, Tony Cárdenas, Representative of California's 29th Congressional District and fan of Meatless Monday, wrote an editorial piece for the Los Angeles Daily News asking all Californians to do their part to conserve water during the record drought. "We can't create the rain, but we can take actions in our everyday lives to create a meaningful impact on reducing water usage." One of those actions was to consider the water resources that go into producing different foods when planning meals.
Representative Cárdenas cited U.S. Department of the Interior statistics about the staggering amount of water resources needed to produce one pound of chicken (400 gallons) or a pound of beef (1,800 gallons.) He compared those amounts with figures from the Water Footprint Network of the water needed to produce a pound of tomatoes (26 gallons) or a loaf of wheat bread (220 gallons.)
"I am talking about making a conscious decision to compare the large amount of water it takes to produce that steak or pork chop you're eating, with the likely smaller amount of water needed to produce delicious meatless options. In that spirit my staff and I have taken on the Meatless Monday Challenge. Taking off one day a week from eating meat is a small way to cut down our water use and consumption while reducing our water footprint."
Representative Cárdenas also brought up how going meatless one day a week is good for the environment, helping to combat global warming. "With the drought and global warming creating such high stakes in our state, all Californians must do their part to examine their personal water usage and cut wherever possible."
From suggestions like turning off the tap while brushing teeth to taking a day off from eating meat, he emphasized that these small steps can really add up. "We all have the tools to make a difference. Sometimes, they are disguised as forks and knives. Let's put them to good use."

And I knew my vision of the garden of savage beauty had been a true vision. There was meaning in the world, yes, and laws, and inevitability, but they had only to do with the aesthetic and in this Savage Garden, these innocent ones belonged in the vampire's arms. A thousand other things can be said about the world, but only aesthetic principles can be verified, and these things alone remain the same.Anne Rice
Why do we call ourselves 'Imagists'.Well why not? Well I think it is a very good and descriptive title and it serves to enunciate some of the principles we mos firmly believe in... Direct treatment of the subject..as few adjectives as possible..a hardness,as of cut stone... individuality of rhythm...Richard Aldington
...with the true convert, holiness is woven into all his powers, principles, and practiceJoseph Alleine
To say that corrupt means corrupt the ends is to believe in the immaculate conception of ends and principles. The real arena is corrupt and bloody. Life is a corrupting process from the time a child learns to play his mother off against his father in the politics of when to go to bed; he who fears corruption fears life.Saul David Alinsky
People are slaves to the world, and as long as they live favorable and comfortable lives, they are loyal to religious principles. However, at hard times, the times of trials, true religious people are scarce.Husayn ibn
The effort necessary to remain uncorrupted in an environment where fear is an integral part of everyday existence is not immediately apparent to those fortunate enough to live in states governed by the rule of law. Just laws do not merely prevent corruption by meting out impartial punishment to offenders. They also help to create a society in which people can fulfil the basic requirements necessary for the preservation of human dignity without recourse to corrupt practices. Where there are no such laws, the burden of upholding the principles of justice and common decency falls on the ordinary people. It is the cumulative effect on their sustained effort and steady endurance which will change a nation where reason and conscience are warped by fear into one where legal rules exist to promote man's desire for harmony and justice while restraining the less desirable destructive traits in his nature.Aung San Suu Kyi
The wellspring of courage and endurance in the face of unbridled power is generally a firm belief in the sanctity of ethical principles combined with a historical sense that despite all setbacks the condition of man is set on an ultimate course for both spiritual and material advancement. It is his capacity for self-improvement and self-redemption which most distinguishes man from the mere brute. At the root of human responsibility is the concept of perfection, the urge to achieve it, the intelligence to find a path towards it, and the will to follow that path if not to the end at least the distance needed to rise above individual limitations and environmental impediments. It is man's vision of a world fit for rational, civilized humanity which leads him to dare and to suffer to build societies free from want and fear. Concepts such as truth, justice and compassion cannot be dismissed as trite when these are often the only bulwarks which stand against ruthless power.Aung San Suu Kyi
It is time to renew the battle for reproductive rights. We have been outmaneuvered, outspent, outpostured, and outvoted by a group of single-issue activists. It has taken them nearly two decades to turn back the principles of Roe. Let's make sure it takes us a shorter time to replace protection for reproductive choice.Sarah Weddington
Ye spend all your days contriving forms and rules for the principles of your Faith, while that which profiteth you in all this is to comprehend the good-pleasure of your Lord and unitedly to become well-acquainted with His supreme Purpose.The Bab
There are and can be only two ways of searching into and discovering truth. The one flies from the senses and particulars to the most general axioms, and from these principles, the truth of which it takes for settled and immovable, proceeds to judgment and to the discovery of middle axioms. And this way is now in fashion. The other derives axioms from the senses and particulars, rising by a gradual and unbroken ascent, so that it arrives at the most general axioms last of all. This is the true way, but as yet untried.Francis Bacon
Those who have taken upon them to lay down the law of nature as a thing already searched out and understood, whether they have spoken in simple assurance or professional affectation, have therein done philosophy and the sciences great injury. For as they have been successful in inducing belief, so they have been effective in quenching and stopping inquiry; and have done more harm by spoiling and putting an end to other men's efforts than good by their own. Those on the other hand who have taken a contrary course, and asserted that absolutely nothing can be known whether it were from hatred of the ancient sophists, or from uncertainty and fluctuation of mind, or even from a kind of fullness of learning, that they fell upon this opinion have certainly advanced reasons for it that are not to be despised; but yet they have neither started from true principles nor rested in the just conclusion, zeal and affectation having carried them much too far.... Now my method, though hard to practice, is easy to explain; and it is this. I propose to establish progressive stages of certainty. The evidence of the sense, helped and guarded by a certain process of correction, I retain. But the mental operation which follows the act of sense I for the most part reject; and instead of it I open and lay out a new and certain path for the mind to proceed in, starting directly from the simple sensuous perception.Francis Bacon
The principles of logic and mathematics are true simply because we never allow them to be anything else. And the reason for this is that we cannot abandon them without contradicting ourselves, without sinning against the rules which govern the use of language, and so making our utterances self-stultifying. In other words, the truths of logic and mathematics are analytic propositions or tautologies.Sir Alfred Jules Ayer
What Americans were really objecting to had nothing to do with constitutional principles. their objection was not to Parliament's constitutional right to levy certain kinds of taxes as opposed to others, but to its effort to collect any.Bernard Bailyn
"Thinking is seeing," said he one day, carried away by some objection raised as to the first principles of our organisation."Every human science is based on deduction, which is a slow process of seeing by which we work up from the effect to the cause; or, in a wider sense, all poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things."Honor de Balzac
Truly ... as accidental as my Life may be, or as that random Humour is, which governs it; I know nothing, after all, so real or substantial as My-Self. Therefore if there be that Thing you call a Substance, I take for granted I am one. But for anything further relating to this Question, you know my Sceptick Principles: I determine neither way.Anthony Ashley Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury
For close designs and crooked counsels fit, Sagacious, bold, and turbulent of wit, Restless, unfixed in principles and place, In power unpleased, impatient of disgrace; A fiery soul, which, working out its way, Fretted the pigmy-body to decay And o'er informed the tenement of clay. A daring pilot in extremity, Pleased with the danger, when the waves went high, He sought the storms; but, for a calm unfit, Would steer too nigh the sands to boast his wit. Great wits are sure to madness near allied And thin partitions do their bounds divide; Else, why should he, with wealth and honour blest, Refuse his age the needful hours of rest? Punish a body which he could not please, Bankrupt of life, yet prodigal of ease? And all to leave what with his toil he won To that unfeathered two-legged thing, a son, Got, while his soul did huddled notions try, And born a shapeless lump, like anarchy. In friendship false, implacable in hate, Resolved to ruin or to rule the state.Anthony Ashley Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury
People who put principles before people are people who hate people. They dont much care about how well it works, just about how right it is . . . they may even like it better if it inflicts enough pain.John Barnes
The French philosopher Charron was one of the men least demoralised by party spirit, and least blinded by zeal for a cause. In a passage almost literally taken from St. Thomas, he describes our subordination under the law of nature, to which all legislation must conform; and he ascertains it not by the light of revealed religion, but by the voice of universal reason, through which God enlightens the consciences of men. Upon this foundation Grotius drew the lines of real political science. In gathering the materials of International law, he had to go beyond national treaties and denominational interests, for a principle embracing all mankind. The principles of law must stand, he said, even if we suppose that there is no God. By these inaccurate terms he meant that they must be found independently of Revelation. From that time it became possible to make politics a matter of principle and of conscience, so that men and nations differing in all other things could live in peace together, under the sanctions of a common law.John Dalberg-Acton, Lord Acton
Fundamentally, however, there is neither good nor evil; this is all based on human concepts. In the universe there exists neither good nor evil, because everything has been created in accordance with immutable laws. the divine principles are reflected in these laws, and only through knowing these laws will we be able to get close to the divine.Franz Bardon
Peace is never long preserved by weight of metal or by an armament race. Peace can be made tranquil and secure only by understanding and agreement fortified by sanctions. We must embrace international cooperation or international disintegration. Science has taught us how to put the atom to work. But to make it work for good instead of for evil lies in the domain dealing with the principles of human dignity. We are now facing a problem more of ethics than of physics.Bernard Mannes Baruch
When the possessions and households of citizens are no longer honored by the acts, as well as the principles, of their government, then the concentration camp ceases to be one of the possibilities of human nature and becomes one of its likelihoods.Wendell Berry
Freedom means having the right to freely educate your children, and freely means no obligation to send them in a public school, where teachers want to inculcate principles different from the principles that their parents want to inculcate them in a familiar context.Silvio Berlusconi
Men who would rather go to jail than betray what they believe to be their duty to their fellow workers and the principles which they hold.Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn

I Grow My Own Hair8 Comments Published by JD October 17th, 2007 in I Am Kind of Awesome.
Gimme a head with hair
Long, beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen * (waxen?)
Thanks to Splenetic for the photo.
Yup, I grow my own hair. That may not sound like much of a feat, but what about all these celebrities running around with someone else's hair glued or stapled to their heads?
I can understand needing a different look for a red carpet event or tacking on a wiglet for Diddy's birthday party, but underneath all that, are they physically unable to grow hair? Sure, throw on some extensions while you wait for your damaged hair to grow out. Then . . . come on, take 'em off. It doesn't take that long to grow some hair.
And why, if they're so rich, can't they at least afford real-looking fake hair? I look at some of these nice young girls and I simply can't believe they paid actual money for those stank weaves and ratty extensions. My hair isn't the greatest, but at least it was free.
So, yeah. My hair grows all on its own, through follicles in my scalp, no chemicals or additives or Chia magic. Lindsay, Britney, Nicole! It's not that hard! You don't have to do anything! Just let it grow!
And maintenance is a breeze. I get it cut twice a year and have even brushed it once or twice. There's a permanent snarl in the back, under the top layer of hair, where you can't see it—well, I can't see it, who cares about you?—and tho I have managed to de-snarl it, it just reappears every time I wash my hair (which, despite my other lazy hair habits, is frequently). So now I just treat this snarl like a secret mini dreadlock.
I've had my share of bad haircuts and worse perms. When I was 14 I dyed my hair black for a Halloween party. I told my parents I was going as Cher; actually I was going as a hooker. Don't all hookers have black hair? I can't say that it was worth it: my hair looked like someone poured black shoe polish over it.
But nowadays my hair is its own natural, nice color, and when I make the effort, it can look pretty good. The last time I got it cut, there was this big, wet, freshly shorn curl in my lap that just looked too adorable to get swept up and thrown out. I stuffed it in my pocket for reasons I do not know, only to find it hours later (now more a puff than a curl) and suffer a mild stroke. (Have you ever stuck your hand in your pocket and come up with a bunch of hair? It's unnerving, to say the least.)
I ended up giving the hair puff to Dave, who has a rather unnatural love for my hair. He tries to run his hands thru it, but encounters that dreadlock-snarl, and I have to help him extract his hands from my Medusa tentacles. He seemed pretty happy to have the puff of hair . . . maybe too happy. I decided I didn't want to know what he was going to do with it.
Flashback to several years ago. One of our cats unearths a little stuffed cowgirl (I think she's from Toy Story) that neither of us can remember seeing before. We start hiding it for the other to find. Dave hides it in my underwear drawer, I hide it in his cereal box, and so on, until, like normal people, we move on to other pastimes and Cowgirl is forgotten.
Flashforward to my trip to Las Vegas. I'm unpacking my suitcase and there, among my socks and three back-up swimsuits is Cowgirl. Surprise! I'd almost forgotten about her. But . . . there's something different. She's got . . . is that? Brrrr.
Rubber-banded to her stuffed head is my puff of hair.
It's thoughtful and funny and scary all at the same time. And I have to say, she doesn't look much worse than these famous girls with someone else's hair attached to their heads. Maybe rubber-bands will be the Next Big Thing.
I'm not hiding Cowgirl anymore. I've got her where I can keep an eye on her and make sure there aren't any needles poking into her. She's a little worse for wear after being a cat toy and the object of "hide the weird doll" game and traveling to and from Las Vegas.
But she's got great hair.

Oh my god. Hilarious! I'm thinking of making one of those doll pictures my Desktop background, but I can't choose which is more creepy. RMAO at all of them.
Love, love, love how the hair puff traveled across the country in your suitcase. That's good stuff.
Oct 18th, 2007 at 6:21 AM
Thanks, Kathy! Feel free to use any of the scary doll pictures, tho I'm warning you: the eyes will follow you. I'm worried the hair puff will find its way somewhere else if I don't keep an eye on it. My cat has been looking at it with great interest…

Top right is the creepiest by far (IMHO). She's peering right at you from the corner of her eye.
…Well at least I'll be able to ID the lead character in my nightmares tonight.

The doll looks like she's got a very hairy bird sitting on her shoulder! She really is the stuff of nightmares….a creepy doll and her hairy parrot companion. *Shudder*.

Shaquille ONeal NBA Team's Top Rookie of All Time – Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic haven't had the very best of luck if this involves keeping their celebrity large males around lengthy-term, but that does not mean they haven't had good occasions prior to the associations have ended.
Shaquille O'Neal were built with a dominant rookie season calculating 23.4 points, and that he even published eventual-career levels of 13.8 rebounds and three.5 blocks.
The 7'1&rdquocenter needs to be looked at probably the most physically dominant large males to ever play the overall game, even though he did not possess the sheer mass he had late in the career, he was still being among the biggest players within the league upon his arrival.
O'Neal was chosen Rookie of the season in 1993, and that he was the very first rookie to become chosen in to the All-Star game since Michael Jordan. The Magic skipped the 2010 nfl playoffs that season, but a 20-win improvement was sufficiently good to spark large change continuing to move forward.

Ellen Pompeo plots 'Grey's Anatomy' exit
May 6, 2010, 8:40 PM EST
WENN -- Ellen Pompeo has dealt a blow to fans of TV medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" -- she's planning to exit the show in 2012.
The actress, who plays titular character Meredith Grey in the series, has revealed she's considering walking away when her contract is up in two years' time.
She tells TV news show "Extra," "I think the world has had a lot of Meredith Grey ... I haven't said I'm moving on; I have said that when my contract is up after season eight, I would probably not renew."

I have a love/hate thing going on with Meridith. While I can't imagine the show without her, I would love to get the chance!!!
It seems that Patrick Dempsey would bail when he gets the chance as well. He and Izzie seem to have the biggest options career-wise, why stick around tv if you can be on the big screen?

Narcissicats from I Can Has Cheezburger?
The confession is an old, old literary genre, going back at least to Augustine and his Confessions (which he wrote after he'd committed enough fun sins to be worth confessing, of course). Narcissism is probably even older. At least, it was a big enough deal for the ancient Greeks that they gave it a name and its very own myth.
But the Internet has taken these ancient impulses and not just modernized but amplified them. Most blogs – apart from the big political blogs – have a confessional element. Even the large feminist blogs (Feministing, Pandagon, Shakesville) give us glimpses of the writers' lives, whether it's their pets or relationships or just non-blogging activities.
In moderation, these dollops of the personal make blogging way more fun than conventional journalism for readers and writers alike. And sharing some well-chosen personal details is only rarely narcissistic. Even outright navel-gazing isn't necessarily narcissistic. But blogging crosses that line when the writer exposes other people's personal lives.
Lately, narcissistic confessionalism seems to be mounting a takeover of print journalism, too. This is troubling insofar as it represents further degradation of journalistic standards. It's also compelling in ways much like a full pint of Ben and Jerry's. You can't help opening it; you can't stop yourself from taking just one more spoonful. And when you hit the bottom of the carton, you realize you're feeling just mildly queasy.
Case in point #1: Emily Gould's piece in this weekend's New York Times Magazine, in which she confesses to previous sins of "oversharing" through an 8000-word exercise in, well, oversharing. Gould used to work for Gawker, which I've never really followed since it's such a New York insider thing, but that hardly matters; oversharing has a universal fascination. And this is oversharing on a grand, epic scale.
Within the first dozen paragraphs, we already know why Gould's ex-boyfriend Henry will have to break up with her:
As Henry and I fought, I kept coming back to the idea that I had a right to say whatever I wanted. I don't think I understood then that I could be right about being free to express myself but wrong about my right to make that self-expression public in a permanent way. I described my feelings in the language of empowerment: I was being creative, and Henry wanted to shut me up.
That's Gould "reflecting" now on how she disrespected Henry's privacy on her personal blog. But see, even as Gould pillories her own past behavior – even as she seems to be confessing to her own prior lack of judgment and discretion – she doesn't acknowledge that she's dragging poor, private Henry into the public arena once again, this time not in a small-potatoes personal blog but in The New York Times Magazine! Even though Gould does seem to be assuming most of the blame for their break-up, millions of people now know that Henry would "sulk" about her blogging. That line between personal oversharing and encroachment on others' privacy? Guess what – you just crossed it again.
We learn, too, about Henry's successor, Josh Stein, and the courtship he and Gould conducted mostly via IM while sitting next to each other at the office. We hear about how they finally became a couple while on a weekend retreat:
Josh and I sat together on the couch, and I put my head on his shoulder in a completely friendly, professional way. The next day, I let him apply sunscreen to the spot in the middle of my back that I couldn't reach. As a joke, we walked down the wood-plank paths that crisscross the island holding hands. I also remember joking, via I.M. as we worked, about us wanting to cross the hallway that separated our bedrooms and crawl into bed with each other at night when we couldn't sleep. On our last day, I congratulated myself on having made it through the trip without letting these jokes turn into real betrayal. And then, 20 minutes outside the city on the Long Island Railroad on the way home, Josh kissed me.
We hear about how Gould chronicled their relationship on her blog, Heartbreak Soup, and how when things unraveled between the lovebirds, Gould blogged about those details as well:
A few weeks later, I arrived home in the early morning hours after abruptly extricating myself from Josh's bed — he had suddenly revealed plans for a European vacation with another girl — and immediately sat down at my computer to write a post about what had happened. On Heartbreak Soup, I wrote a long rant about the day's events, including a recipe for the chicken soup I made the previous afternoon and the sex that I'd been somehow suckered into even after finding out about how serious things were with the other girl.
Gould lets one of her best girlfriends pronounce the verdict on Stein after he cools it with her: "Emily, he's so evil." Of course, this is as good a way as any to let all of us, too, know that he's evil, without Gould taking any ownership of the word.
But maybe she's right. Stein actually launched the first volley in their mass-media post-breakup oversharing contest, publishing a long piece of his own called "The Dangers of Blogger Love" in Page Six magazine. (You can read it here, along with Alex Carnevale's sarcastic take-down of it.) Stein tells us that he learned from Gould's blog that she was in love with him; that she used her blog to slam his former girlfriend's taste in magazines; that she routinely read his email.
Eew. If you have any Ben and Jerry's in the freezer, you should haul it out now, at the very latest, if you're clicking on any of these links.
Reading both Stein's and Gould's pieces – and heaven help me, I read every word – it's hard not to wonder if maybe they're both a little bit evil. Or at least deeply amoral, creepy, and, well, narcissistic.
Case in point #2: Narcissism just oozes from Philip Weiss's essay in last week's New York Magazine. Entitled – and I mean entitled! - "The Affairs of Men," Weiss's piece purports to examine the reasons men cheat on their wives. Mostly, though, he gives us an embarrassing yet irresistible glimpse into his own wretched psyche. Picture Philip Roth – minus much of the literary talent and masturbation – but plus TMI on his own marriage.
Weiss lets us know why he's so frantically tempted to sleep with women who aren't his wife. And it's not just that they're younger, tattooed waitresses whom he imagines – delusionally! – might be interested in his man-meat. No, he makes abundantly clear how he views his own wife: as a sexless middle-aged secretary-cum-organizer who mocks him and refuses to grant him the freedom that any French wife would give her husband.
I … suggested [to my friend] that we could change sexual norms to, say, encourage New York waitresses to look on being mistresses as a cool option. "That's fringe," my friend said dismissively. Wives weren't going to allow it, and we men grant them a lot of power; they're all as dominant as Yoko Ono. "Look, we're the weaker animal," he said. "They commandeer the situation." He and I love our wives and depend on them. In each of our cases, they make our homes, manage our social calendar, bind up our wounds and finish our thoughts, and are stitched into our extended families more intimately than we are. They seem emotionally better equipped than we are. If my marriage broke up, my wife could easily move in with a sister. I'd be as lost as plankton.
Yeah. Look, Mr. Weiss, if your wife is all that keeps you from reverting to the bottom of the food chain, your marriage has got bigger issues, starting with your own insecurity and incompetence and ending with your inability to view your wife as a sexual being. Feel free to expose your own pathetic douchebaggery. But none of this gives you the right to portray her – and all your friends' wives, too – as castrating scolds, especially when you seem to believe that what's sauce for the gander isn't sauce for the goose. When Weiss proclaims the beauty of non-monogamy to his wife, she gets "agitated," then says:
"Okay. Let's have an open marriage. And I have to be out Wednesday night."I said, No thanks.
So why should those of us lucky enough not to be Mrs. Weiss give a rat's ass about any of this foolishness? I mean, I didn't have to read past their first few lines of these essays, which give ample warning of the wreckage ahead.
Responding to Gould's essay, Jonathan V. at Galley Slaves observes:
… there is a difference between expression and exhibitionism. To the extent that blogs encourage the latter–even in thoughtful, professional writers–they are a pernicious force in the culture.
But as Gould's and Weiss's essays show, narcissism isn't just for blogs anymore. Print publications dangle pieces like theirs in front of the blogosphere, knowing they'll drive up traffic to their online incarnations. As we watch bloggy narcissism and exhibitionism bleed into the supposedly respectable press, we're going to see more "articles" like these. If this becomes a larger trend, it will become a race to the bottom. (And yep, I realize that I just did my part to encourage this by first reading this tripe and then linking to it.)
These essays also raise questions for the rest of us who might not want to emulate their oversharing. How much personal information is too much? I've been fairly frank in my own blog about a couple of recent medical experiences – my "deep throat" exam and my UTI-related caffeine deprivation – and at least one long-ago lousy sexual encounter. I've got academic/personal interests in medicine, sexuality, and embodied experience, and so – since these really were my stories to tell, as long as I preserved the anonymity of my partner in bad sex – I didn't see any reason to protect my own privacy. Even though all of these episodes could be construed as oversharing, I wanted to explore those larger issues through them.
The real danger of amoral narcissism lies in violating other people's privacy. I write a little bit about my family here, but when I talk about my kids, it's mostly either very innocuous (like yesterday's post about making more persons) or focused on my own experiences of parenting. I don't want them to be mortified by me later – at least, not above and beyond the normal baseline of adolescent embarrassment. You also won't learn much about my husband and my marriage. If I ever take part in, say, TMI Tuesday (which is often pretty amusing on other people's blogs), you can be sure I'll keep it focused on me.
I'm not condemning people who put a lot more of their lives online than I ever will. I do think, though, that if what they write impinges substantially on other people's private lives, they're ethically obligated to write pseudonymously. And they'd better be careful not to blow their cover.
Augustine famously wrote, "Grant me chastity and continence, but not yet." Were Augustine reborn today as a confessional journalist, he'd have to rephrase it: "Grant me discretion and empathy, but not yet." At least not until he'd bagged a major article deal in a national magazine.

This dance is being taught worldwide. I have just arrived home from a busy dance festival all over the place. And there are still several places where this dance is being taught - I don't think there is anywhere where it hasn't been taught. Has it been published in the magazine yet? I really hope it does (as a future golden oldy as we call it everywhere).

This is a super fun dance and great to do. Very easy but different steps involved too. Well done
could I have the steps of the dance???????
Susie Nash - 17/08/2001
A really original piece of choreography to a great track by Destiny's Child. Don't be scared off by the number of counts either - the dance is only repeated in its entirety 3 times in all, plus quite a few sequences within the dance are repeated as well so it's not nearly as scary to learn as it first appears. Once you have mastered this dance you will love it, what's more as an added bonus you will find that it fits tons of other great tracks as well. A real cool, funky dance with absolutely no bridges!!
Rock Down To!
nuttytart - 17/08/2001
A great dance that fits perfectly to the music.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — More A-listers have signed on to support the third Stand Up to Cancer telethon.
Organizers say Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Justin Timberlake, Sofia Vergara, and Olympic gold medalists Gabrielle Douglas and Missy Franklin will participate in the hour-long TV special. It is set to air Friday on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and more than a dozen cable channels.
The slate of stars announced Wednesday also includes Eric Stonestreet, Ray Romano, Felicity Huffman, Rocco DiSpirito and Maura Tierney. They'll join previously announced participants such as Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Michael Douglas, Jessica Biel, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, Seth Rogen, Emma Stone and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Paltrow also is an executive producer of the fundraiser that will be carried commercial-free from 8-9 p.m. EDT from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, Coldplay and Alicia Keys are set to perform during the special, and patients participating in Stand Up to Cancer trials will share their experiences.
Stand Up to Cancer has raised more than $180 million for cancer research and awareness since the telethon was established in 2008. The organization said it has awarded grants to seven multidisciplinary research "Dream Teams" and to scientists seeking innovative approaches to end cancer's role as the world's leading cause of death.
The telethon features a celebrity phone bank that allows donors who call in to talk with the stars.
The cable channels carrying the telethon are BIO, Encore, HBO, Showtime, HBO Latino, ION Television, LMN, Logo, MLB Network, mun2, Palladia, Starz, TBS, Smithsonian and VH1.
Stand Up to Cancer was founded by "Spider-Man" movie producer Laura Ziskin, who produced its first two telethons in 2008 and 2010. Ziskin lost her seven-year fight against breast cancer last year.

Discount retailers Aldi and Lidl have maintained their double digit growth figures at 21.6pc and 13.2pc respectively while Dunnes has recorded the strongest sales performance among the large retailers.
That's according to the latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel for the 12 weeks ending 25 May 2014, which shows the Irish grocery market continuing its recent return to growth, buoyed by a gradual increase in the price of food and drink.
David Berry, commercial director at Kantar Worldpanel, explains: "A gradual increase in the cost of food and drink has helped push price inflation to 2.6pc, a record for 2014, which has increased the amount shoppers are spending at the tills and has kept the grocery market in growth."
Dunnes is the only one of the big three retailers to grow its sales this period, albeit by a relatively modest 0.7pc. Its clear strategy of offering 'round euro' promotional offers is appealing strongly to price-conscious consumers. Some 30pc of Dunnes' in-store sales are now sold on a round euro deal – up from just over 20pc a year ago.
Aldi and Lidl have both maintained their impressive double digit growth at 21.6pc and 13.2pc respectively. Aldi's record share of 8.0pc is held from last month while Lidl has reached a new record high of 7.9pc.
"SuperValu's sales remain in line with last year, with a slight dip in market share from 25.2pc to 24.8pc. Tesco continues to perform behind its main competitors, but the retailer's sales have improved since the decline of almost 7pc seen at the end of 2013. Interestingly, both retailers have succeeded in recruiting new shoppers this month. SuperValu has gained 32,000 additional shoppers and in so doing has recorded a seventh consecutive month of footfall growth. Tesco's additional 12,000 customers is more modest, but the trend over the past year has been one of losing shoppers, so this is a welcome change for the retailer," added Mr Berry.

Fruit Season Primer
by Rachel Turiel
The first thing I ever "put up" for winter was applesauce. I was new to Durango, and being just sprung from college, quite frankly, new to my own life. It was the dawn of October: golden aspens, green chile perfume, and apples glowing like lights on every street.
While other people my age were groaning up switchbacks on their mountain bikes, I was roaming around town stuffing my backpack with apples like some crone from the old country who didn't really understand about supermarkets. I took to this foraging like a career.
Dan and I met this same autumn, and early in our courtship we exchanged—unplanned—homemade peach bread (his) for a jar of plum preserves (mine). We were like two skiers swooshing down a black diamond on a first date, thinking "Man, she can ski." Except in our nerdier case it was "He knows where to pick peaches and what to do with them."
We packed the best apple "eaters" into the fridges at our respective rentals, hoping the assorted roommates would appreciate the worthiness of a 30-pound bag of apples crowding out their perishables. We made huge batches of pink applesauce, which we poured steaming hot into plastic containers from the Mexican restaurant at which Dan worked, the hot plastic surely exhaling phthalates right into our sauce. Shudder.
::our kids, carrying on the apple tradition::
That applesauce became so indispensable--on pancakes and toast--we've made it every year since. Not having your own apple tree is not a problem. Even on a poor fruit-set year like this one, there are trees around the county that are stacked with fruit. Take a neighborhood walk, a country drive, an alleyway stroll. You will find apples, and maybe even a pear, plum or peach tree as well. When you find a good tree, knock on the door. It never hurts to ask.
::a trio of sibling spies alerted me to this neglected pear tree in my neighborhood. A note was left and Steve called me that night, giving me complete rights to his pear and plum tree!::
Perching in an apple tree is like a game of twister. When the spinner points to the clump of polished ruby apples just beyond reach, it seems I'll collapse if I stretch another inch. But when an image of barren January flashes before my eyes, I'm always more elastic than I thought.
~ because fruit is naturally, wonderfully sweet, none of these recipes call for sweetener~
Most of our apples go to applesauce. Applesauce is versatile enough to turn plain yogurt healthfully sweet, top pancakes, join peanut butter for sandwiches. We don't sweeten our applesauce, nor do we peel the apples, which would remove a significant amount of the vitamins, fiber and phytonutrients.
::applesauce, so simple, so tartfully sweet::
Chop apples small, simmer with just enough water so the apples don't stick to the pot. Cook down for approximately one hour (depending on how chunky or smooth you like it). Let cool and then pack into freezer bags or can with water bath canner.
FYI: never put hot foods into plastic containers. The heat can release harmful phthalates and BPA into your food.
Drying fruit
Something happens to dried pears that turns them into the tiramisu of plain old fruit, which is to say, they are so sweet and caramel-y and delicious that your kids will think they're getting a very special dessert when you serve them dried pears, and they are.
::slicing pears onto drying racks and Rose undoing my work::
Here in the sunny Southwest we dry fruit outside on oven racks (removed from oven) covered with flexible screen (available in bulk at the hardware store) to keep flies out. Cut pears (or any fruit - apples, peaches, plums) no thicker than 1/4 inch and lay out so pieces of fruit aren't touching. Pears will dry outside in 3-4 sunny days. Bring inside at night.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Buy a gallon of unpasturized apple cider (available at Turtle Lake Refuge or Farmer's Market). Transfer to gallon glass jar if possible. Remove cap and cover top with cheesecloth or mesh to keep flies out. After one week it will become hard cider via natural fermentation. Leave it out three more weeks and it will become apple cider vinegar!
Fruity frozen yogurt
Pull any dessert out of the freezer and my kids will start salivating, even if it's an unsweetened frozen yogurt.
Mix: 2 cups pureed (cooked or raw) fruit with 2 cups plain yogurt. (Add 1/2 cup honey and your kids will be really happy). Freeze and serve.
Freezing fruit
To freeze fruit raw, slice thin and uniform and lay slices on cookie sheets in the freezer. Once frozen place in a ziploc bag The fruit should shake out of the bag for rather than clump together. The fruit may lose it's color if frozen raw rather than blanched, but you also preserve beneficial enzymes.
Storing apples raw
The best place to store apples is the fridge (unless you have a root cellar with 90% humidity). Place apples in a plastic bag, sprinkle water in the bag, poke several holes in the bag and seal. Add water every week. Apples will keep for 1-2 months like this.

Harvest Season Boot Camp
~working the harvest~
Eating local in September is as easy as lying down in your garden, opening your mouth and shaking the produce directly in. Or traipsing down to the farmers market and exchanging your hard-earned cash for a farmer's hard-grown vegetables.
Every weekend we make grand plans--like to leave the house, in the car--but I can't seem to commit because, the tomatoes are ripening. Last week it was the 30 pounds of ripe, Colorado peaches keeping me tethered to home as if I just birthed a house full of fuzzy-skinned newborns. In the garden the zucchinis are hitting like sneaker waves while the chard flags me down with it's dinner platter-sized leaves.
::still going::
If local food is your particular brand of heaven, September is like passing through the holy gates to the divine buffet table. In June, July and August, every scrap of the garden goes into our bellies, but in September with frost pressing its nose against the windowpane of life, we get busy.
::September's work::

People have had all sorts of bewildered praise for the amount of food I've put up, but when you see ... (want to read on? click "read more")

Zucchini Frenzy
by Rachel Turiel
Are you sick of zucchinis yet? I always plant 6 or so zucchini (aka crookneck, patty pan) plants, which is 3 too many for one family. But in an arid climate with a blink-and-you-missed-it growing season, it's gratifying (and just slightly nauseating) to wander around the garden and discover that the ten zucchinis that were just little slips of infants yesterday are now overfed, rambunctious toddlers. But, how successful you get to feel, toting your groaning basket of green and yellow fruits into your kitchen. My earnest children, who've never heard the lock your doors during zucchini season jokes, scurry around the garden, lifting up the ginormous, scratchy leaves and exclaiming "another one Mama!" as if the plant is spitting out lollipops.
::Rose, 3, with the daily catch::
Since I've been stalking zucchini recipes on my blog, people have sent me all manner of delicious ideas to celebrate the abundance. Ideas like pecan cheesecake zucchini tart, or chocolate brownie zucchini mousse. I'm getting a little suspicious, like perhaps the conventional wisdom says: if you add enough sugar and butter, you won't notice you're actually eating a rubber sandal. Dan claims it's the moisture content that makes zucchini desirable in cakes, rather than a history of mothers trying to tuck vitamins into sweets.
::Col, 5, contemplating zucchini (maybe not so much like lollipops after all)::
::maybe he was contemplating the never-ending zucchini kitchen chores::
Our family's favorite way to eat zucchini is to cube or slice it lengthwise, drizzle with olive oil, fresh garlic and salt, and then roast it on high heat. The zucchini browns on the outside and gets sweet and gooey on the inside, like a roasted marshmallow. In roasting, much of the zucchini's 95% water content evaporates and the zucchini seems to sigh in relief, becoming it's true, sweet and nutty self. We can knock back two roasted zukes a day without even knowing it. It freezes well like this, and if you mix roasted zucchini into a bag of frozen corn kernels it's sort of like tucking vitamins into sweets.
::it thaws out well::
::well enough to bake onto pizza::
If you slice the zucchinis long and thin, like this:
they can stand in beautifully for lasagna noodles, or tortillas in a Southwest casserole.
If you do grate your zucchini for freezing, you don't have to blanch it first as you do most other vegetables. To freeze grated zucchini: salt the grated, raw zucchini, let it stand for 20 minutes in a colander, press out the liquid and seal it in a freezer bag.
When freezing, remember to suck the air out of the freezer bags before sealing. My kids love when I make a big, gaspy production ... (read on by clicking "read more")
Iron Horse Chef: The FinalsIt was The Ore House against Cyprus. It was Ryan Lowe, the hip, young and locally minded chef that is thoughfully steering the Ore House into the 21st century. And it was Vera Hansen the seasoned pioneer of the locavore movement and the creative mind behind the curtain at Cyprus Cafe.But a more accurate and telling description would be that this was a contest between two of the nicest and humblest artisans you can imagine. Chef's that smile. Chef's that really don't seem to possess the self importance gene. And mind you, this writer has worked in many kitchens, all of which can still stirfeelings of stomach distress ... especially when I think of Stan the Silent Baker literally stepping over me to get to the walk-in after I slipped and cracked my head on the greasy floured-dusted tile floor (It was bleeding. My head, that is.). But I digress. But may I add that it was the middle of the night? It wasn't the dinner rush.
It was like, 4 a.m.
Ok.So.Vera's ingredients: Duck Fat. Lemon. Housemade yogurt. Sugar. Pomegranet Molasses (of course ... right? never go anywhere without it) (Vera also brought along a selection of spices including cardamom, nutmeg, rosemary, oregeno and basil).Ryan's ingredients: goat vodka, balsamic vinegar, homemade pickles, corn flower, worcestershire sauce (Ryan also brought along a selection of spices including cumin, celery seed, nutmeg, cayenne and cinnamin)Each chef was then given one secret ingredient that until that moment, was unknown to them. The unknown in this case was a whole chicken from Napier Family Farms. The chef's would need to "break it down" before incorporating it into their menus (see the video on our Facebook page of Vera breaking land speed records in Whole Chicken Chopping - note: the clip may note be suitable for some Vegans ... and those prone to seasickness.

~a season of chokecherries~
If you walked into my kitchen right now, you'd wonder where we're hiding the bodies. Sticky red juice pools suspiciously on the tile floor. Col, 5, clicks legos together while incriminating crimson splotches bloom and spread on his shirt. Rose, 3, is on hands and knees licking the reservoir of sticky liquid off the floor while the adults cringe and then shrug, exercising that reflex that develops precisely when your second child is five days old. There's more pressing matters, like keeping a hand moving on the wooden spoon that stirs the latest batch of bubbling chokecherry syrup.

i love mexican food. really really really love it. we have a mexican restaurant in walking distance, which is awesome for spontaneous mexican food cravings, but not so good for my waistline or wallet, so i'm always looking for ways to make my favorite dishes at home. i've successfully tackled homemade tortillas, chicken tortilla soup, chicken flautas + spicy chicken quesadillas, so i figured it was time to try making the number one thing i order at mexican restaurants: enchiladas.
last week, when my husband + i were craving mexican + planning to go to the restaurant up the street, i asked him if he'd try homemade enchiladas at home instead. he was game, so i got cookin'. and the results? holy moly, these are AMAZING! my husband said that they fill his mexican craving just as well as dine-out mexican does – no small feat. they're so good that we've made them twice in 7 days. although they look like a cheesetastic, calorie-filled dish, the simple chipotle + spice sauce has just a little oil + flour, no butter, + a relatively small amount of cheese. you definitely won't guess these are healthified – they taste just as decadent + delicious as traditional enchiladas. so, next time you're looking for healthier, lighter, delicious homemade enchiladas, give these a try!
lighter chicken enchiladas
serves 4, adapted from martha stewart
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
OR the meat of 1 cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 to 2 tablespoons minced canned chipotles in adobo
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
1/2 cup grated monterey jack cheese (2 ounces)
kosher salt + black pepper to taste
if using uncooked chicken breasts: in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil. add chicken. cover; reduce heat to medium-low. simmer 5 minutes; remove skillet from heat. let chicken steam, covered, until opaque throughout, 12 to 14 minutes. transfer chicken to a medium bowl; shred with two forks. set aside.
if using cooked rotisserie chicken: shred both the white meat + the dark meat of the rotisserie chicken, put in a medium-sized bowl + set aside.
while chicken is cooking, make sauce: in a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. add garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. add flour, cumin, chili powder, + chipotles in adobo; cook, whisking, 1 minute. whisk in broth + 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil. reduce to a simmer, + cook, whisking occasionally, until sauce has thickened slightly, 5 to 8 minutes; season with salt + pepper to taste. transfer 1 cup sauce to bowl with chicken; toss to combine.
preheat oven to 400 degrees. pour 1/4 cup sauce into bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish; set aside. stack tortillas, + wrap in a double layer of damp paper towels; microwave until hot, about 1 minute. fill each tortilla with chicken mixture; roll up tightly, + arrange, seam side down, in baking dish. cover with remaining sauce, + top with cheese. bake until hot + bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. let cool 5 minutes before serving.print this recipe

Nothing but problems,
February 26, 2014ByCW –This review is from: Dell Inspiron 15.6-Inch Laptop (i15RV-1435BLK) (Personal Computers)Since day 1 I have had problems. Been online with techs for over 7 hours in 3 days. New keyboard was sent for me to replace- done. Then it wouldn't turn on. Next back to keyboard not working. Am waiting for another callback from tech to see if it is going to work after resetting everything. I am really frustrated. Oh and I have only had this computer for 5 days. I would not recommend this computer.

Dell's Customer Service,
March 11, 2014ByThis review is from: Dell Inspiron 15.6-Inch Laptop (i15RV-1435BLK) (Personal Computers)I normally do not rate if I have something bad too say. But after many call's to Dell tech. support and customer service. I found we had a language barrier. I am sending this computer back a.s.a.p. to Amazon with no fault to them but only Dell. The computer was shipped to me with a bad cd/dvd optical drive. At first Dell wanted me to change out the part as they said they would send me one. I told them I was no computer technician and refused to change out the part. Out of fear I could possibly void the warranty. So Dell decided to replace the computer but, would never send a confirmed email. So just yesterday I called Dell and asked them
not to send me anything. It took me talking to 6 different people to finally get this across to them. This was my first and last product with the name Dell branded on it I will ever order. There has been so much out sourcing in the good ole U.S.A. putting our people out of work. To me if a company has poor c/s that is there life blood in surviving.

England or the Great Britain as it is known more popularly is a land which has for long been a home to people belonging to a number of different cultures and races. The tolerance that it has for different people is in itself immense. Today it also holds the position of the financial capital of the world and is also a part of the European Union. It has for long been a colonial power which has ruled over many nations. It is home for the famous Queen Elizabeth and her descendants.
