Easy Food Hacks
Simple-ish but impressive food ideas for the lazy glutton

Sprout Café, Mt Albert, Auckland
In the 3 months since I've been away, new cafes are (pardon the pun) sprouting up everywhere in Auckland. This is especially exciting news for Mt Albert, which has traditionally been somewhat bereft of cafes and good coffee. Sprout Café is housed in an long abandoned service station site in a sleepy corner of New North Road. The new tenants have made the most of the quirky site; they have even put in bi-fold windows which open out to an servery. Theoretically you could ride through for your coffee fix.

Open Table, Ellerslie, Auckland
Open Table is a community café occupying the site of where Paris Berlin Organic Bakery (now known as Bread & Butter Bakery) previously sat. Open Table is probably Auckland's only crowdfunded café, evolved as an idea of a community hub by Hannah Feenstra and developed as a Kickstarter project. With her Masters in Entrepreneurship nearly in hand, Hannah first began her journey to opening her café. After 18 months of patient negotiations, the site was leased and the space could be cleared. The Kickstarter support allowed the renovations to take place, and Open Table to take shape.
Open Table has leapt into the Metro's Top 50 cafés in Auckland mere weeks after opening, - it opened in Sept, and the Top 50 is published in the November issue. This little-cafe-that-could has serious credentials.
Gen and I chanced upon Open Table on our way back from picking up my wedding dress (that's a story for a later post). My first visit had us seated at the footpath seating where I could see the car (and its very precious cargo in the boot). Right away, Open Table has a wonderfully charming welcoming vibe. With the large roller door up, it feels like one large space. Look out for the Kokako sign in front.

Hemingway's Manly, Manly Beach, Sydney
Manly is a suburban beach in Sydney which seems to attract every possible demographic, - tourists, sunbathers, families and people like us who want to get away from city centre and meander along its coastal sidewalks.
|View from our seats by the window
We had read about Hemingway's Manly, a little spot on North Steyne, overlooking Manly beach. It's a restaurant, café, bar. Yup, whatever you want something to drink or eat, you'll likely find it here. Hemingway himself would approve of the hours, - opening from morning until late most nights.
The décor is library chic by the bar, and a relaxed beach vibe in front. There was a passage stencilled on the wall from a Hemingway novel describing a scene at a bar, where the protagonist played dice and drank whiskey. I later found out it was from The Sun Also Rises, his first novel published in 1926 which established him as a literary star.

@Milk and Honey Café, Kiama, New South Wales
I can't believe it's been two months since I moved to Sydney. It's still too noisy, too crowded and too brash. It's disconcerting that Auckland seemed so metropolitan after Christchurch (and Palmerston North), and now Sydney is another rung on the city scale.
I needed to get away from the city-ness, and so for my birthday, BL took me on a day trip to Kiama. Kiama is a seaside town, 1½ hour south of Sydney and is famous for two blowholes. The blowholes are a geological phenomenon caused by the erosion of basalt rock within volcanic latite rock. The erosion produces a chamber and a collapsed headland forming the blowhole. Waves build up the pressure in the chamber until the seawater erupts through the blowhole. We saw some 'geysers', but the photos in the Visitors Centre showed just how tremendous these geysers can be with the right waves.

Noodle Night Market 2014, Hyde Park, Sydney
October is Good Food Month in Sydney, a designated month for gastronomy and gluttony. There are events galore, special menus, and Sydney seems overrun with celebrity chefs. The headliner is Yotam Ottolenghi, and seriously, who doesn't love Ottolenghi? I am a huge fan of his wonderfully spiced recipes, but I balk at the over $200 price tag to experience the maestro in chef mode (if the tickets weren't sold out).
If you're like me, the most accessible event during Good Food Month is the Noodle Night Market which runs nightly from 10 – 26 October in Hyde Park. There are 43 different vendors, a lot of dumplings and baos, deep-fried morsels and yes, there were even some noodles in the mix. But dumplings and baos rule the roost.

Mamak, Haymarket, Sydney
The first place I made a beeline for when I arrived in Sydney was Mamak. Many years ago (8 years?), Mamak was a fresh face on the food scene and stole the show with their expert displays of roti dough twirling. It is really the best part of ordering roti canai; watching the roti canai maestro twirl the flattened dough in the air several times until it is stretched paperthin, then cooking the folded dough on a hot grill until it is flaky and crisp on the outside. It looks easy enough, but there are very few Malaysian eateries which have mastered this staple of the Malaysian cuisine.
Mamak is a Malay word which refers to the Indian Muslim community, and also denotes the delicious food that this community is famous for. The range of Mamak food is difficult to find in Kuching, where I grew up, due to the very small Indian population, but we always have roti canai.

Tonight on the Talkcast, we're going to consider the tablet landscape for the rest of this year and 2013 in light of Microsoft's jump into the pool.

Home | what is a j-pouch | discussion | q&a | contact | about | illustrated pouch| success
Register to post messages
I am going to have gallbladder surgery this Friday due to my gallbladder not working properly. I don't have gallstones. I have had the j-pouch for over 11 years. My surgeon said this will be outpatient and hoping for laparascopic. He said he won't know for sure laparascopic until he tries. I have had 5 abdominal surgeries so far. Four were open and one was laparascopic. When I had laparascopic surgery before, I was in for 5 days.
Has anyone had problems after the gallbladder surgery that has the j-pouch? If yes, what kind? Was your surgery laparascopic or open? Was it scheduled outpatient and then turned inpatient?
Thank you for your information.
Hi Ksr,
I had mine out 18months ago after years of problems with it (chronic galbladder pain, stones etc...). My surgeon is a specialist in laporoscopic procedures here in France and has been inside for a visit to my pouch and for hernia repairs a number of times...so I trusted him implicitly.
I was warned that he would not know what to expect until he got inside...it went well, except for an exceptionally huge galbladder (over 2.2lbs and full of a quart of nasty, infected bile).
He sucked out the bile, deflated the galbladder in doing so, and pulled it out through a tiny hole in my abdomen. Kept me in for 3 nights, just in case, all considering my history. I was taken back in an ambulance 2 days later (my galbladder had been pressing on my right lung and collapsed it partially)...other than the usual laporoscopy gas pain, surgical pain (he took advantage of the visit by fixing a tiny hernia and snipping a few adhesions) etc, It went fine...I was walking around the block by the end of the week and was back to work in 2...
As long as they know what they are doing and what to expect there should be no complications...But we are a complicated bunch with tons of possible internal problems like adhesions and whatnot... so prepare for the worst and hope for the best...It should all be fine.
Don't forget to prepare your home for your homecoming...soups, no shopping for a while, no lifting, pushing or vacuming the house...Baby yourself post op, after all, it is still surgery.
It could be worse...oh, wait..it already has been! then I guess it can only get better from here....
I too had a large gallbladder taken out. It was done laproscopically even though I too had multiple abdominal surgeries prior. It would have been outpatient but it blew the night before, ended up in ER, and by the time they pulled it out it was nighttime. This was one of the easiest surgeries I went thru.
Sharon, I'm sorry you had a bad time.

Thanks Ally,
It wasn't so much a bad time as a touch scary...those ambulance drivers do not take the word 'pulminary distress' lightly...they pretty much burned every light, ran up sidewalks and broke all ground speed records for Paris...
At least it all ended well.
As for my poor little (!) galbladder, it is sitting in a jar on my surgeon's desk!
I must admit, as far as surgeries go, it was one of the easiest ones.
It could be worse...oh, wait..it already has been! then I guess it can only get better from here....
I had my gallbladder taken out last year also due to it not working properly. My surgeon also said they would not know if the laparascopic surgery would work, but it did. I also did outpatient surgery. Everything went fine, no problems. You will still have to take it easy right after surgery, but nothing like going through jpouch surgery. Best of luck to you. You will feel so much better once it is out, it is amazing!!

How did your surgery go?
I had my surgery last Friday, 12/20. It was laparascopic and outpatient. I was in quite a bit of pain the first 48 hours. Today is the first day for me not to take as much pain medicine. I am hurting quite a bit. I don't know if I should be hurting a week after this surgery. Should I still be hurting? No fever, incisions look fine.
I'm not sure about the length of time for pain as I just had my surgery this Tues. Hopefully someone else has an answer for that. I was in a lot of pain Wed but my bowels had shut down, so I think that might have been part of it. Things are working now although all liquid. I don't have much of an appetite. Mine was able to be lapro also. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you.
Do you have the j-pouch? Why did you have your gallbladder removed?
When I had my baby, I had a c-section and I got an illus after her birth. It was so bad they had to give me an NG tube. It took days to clear up.
Yes I have had my pouch for over 23 years.
I've had a stone for a long time and the gallbladder has bothered me on and off for years with pain and nausea, lately a lot of nausea. I forgot to tell you the nurse who called today told me to use ice thru today and then start with heating pad tomorrow for the pain.
I did not have any stones. The hidascan showed my gallbladder at 18%. I was having extreme pain due to the gallbladder. When I would have the attacks, I would also get obstructed. I am going to call the surgeon's office tomorrow to make sure I am doing what I should.
I have had my j-pouch for over 11 years.
I think that is a good idea, cause actually I didn't think the pain was suppose to be bad for that long.
People I know that have had their gallbladders removed have said they are in hardly any pain afterwards. All the people I know don't have the GI problems we have though.
Called doctor....adhesions is what is causing my pain. Apparently there were a lot and he had to get through all of them.
Had my gallbladder out in December, 2009. Open abdominal surgery, also had a ton of adhesions that had to be cut through. Pain and an ill feeling lasted about a week fairly severely, then pain diminished but the illness lasted. Ended up back in the hospital for a week due to a concussion & dehydration from being so sick. Never determined if I managed to catch a bad virus on top of everything else, or just had a bad reaction to the surgery. BUT after a month I was significantly better. For about a year or so I'd have a bit of pain if I ate too much fatty items, but now I can eat most things (within reason) and haven't had any problems from that sector in about 3 years. Just be patient and stay hydrated!!!!

The hitch I purchased is a very nice design. The only reason I had to put it down for its poor quality is for the fact that it was delivered with out a package.....they just slapped a FedEx sticker to the hitch and mailed it. Needless to say it was all scratched and dinged up,like the FedEx driver dragged it to my house. I had to prime and paint a new product before installing on my truck..... Other than that its a nice hitch and fits well.

Re: Steffi Graf Admiration Thread Vol 2
Hi Mike, yeah we've actually talked about that "handshake" incident with Sabatini here before (I dug up the vid on youtube and put it up here). I think the general consensus is that while Steffi had her moments of unsportsmanship, in general she still conducted herself quite well for most of her career (she's had some bad losses where she remained very sportsmanlike after - I think some of her worst losses were in the French Open but she wasn't a sore loser in those matches).
She's had her bad days, but as some folks here have said, she's only been less-than-perfect in a few handshakes but she doesn't do that to diss her opponent or to disrespect them, and she doesn't speak ill of her opponents in post-match interviews.

I have built many of these 350 SBC's using the 416 heads with porting and larger valves.
The chambers end up around 61 to 64cc once the chamber wall is relieved for the larger valves.
(1.94x 1.60 best)
(assuming the heads were not shaved)
The only way to determine the exact real CR is to get the real measured head CC chamber volume and the real piston deck clearance @ TDC and the actual gasket thickness. and the piston valve relief volume.
Interactive JavaScript to Calculate Engine's Compression Ratio (CR)
Actual piston deck clearance can range from .055" in the hole @ TDC to 0 decked to a negative
( piston above deck, over decked block)
If it runs on 94 octane gas with 34 to 36deg timing and correct jetting and spark plug heat range don;t worry about it.
The Sunoco/ Petro Can Ultra 94 is pretty good stuff.
You are under 11:1 cr.
Typical head gaskets are 4.166" x .038 to .041"
or 4.10" x .015" stell shim style.
many flat top rebuilder pistons have a modifed pin height 1.54" resulting in a .045" to .055" deck clearance and lower than expected compression ratio.
1.56" is stock.
typical flat top piston valve relief volume is -4cc to -6cc
Running downt he 1/4 mile will tell you how much Horsepower you are making wiht this motor.
MPH and car weight w driver.
This combo should run pretty strong if the 416 heads were ported too.
( I have made well over 400hp with bigger cams and ported 416 heads)
The 224° 106LSA .450" lift cam should run pretty good.
Will work best with a 3500 stall and gears for best ET.

Biocatalysts Are Transforming Biofuels
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Every school kid knows that cows eat grass.
Their digestion systems are able to turn the cellulose in grass into simple sugars, just as your digestion system does with the starch in that doughnut you had on the way into the office.
Noubar Afeyan's Midori Renewables says it has developed a proprietary biocatalyst that can do what the cow does efficiently. The "rate limit" for biofuels is this ability to turn cellulose into sugar, which can then be turned into alcohol, he said.
If any biomass can become sugar for just pennies per pound, it will transform the business, Afeyan added.KiOR (KIOR) also bases its business on a biocatalyst, which in its case can be used at high temperature to turn biomass into oil and natural gas liquids. In the first seven months of this year it turned pine pellets into nearly 360,000 gallons of gasoline, diesel and fuel oil using its catalyst, at a plant in Columbus, Miss. This was just one-fourth of its production target, which sent the stock tumbling, but Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov, who is usually quite bearish, called this a buying opportunity. "The business model remains valid," he told RenewableEnergyWorld . Efficient biocatalysts are the holy grail of the biofuels industry. What Biofuelsdigest calls "Planet Houston" won't show interest in biofuels until it can produce useful refinery inputs at $2.40/gallon, well below the cost of regular gasoline. Kior thinks it can get its costs down to $2.25/gallon with an improved facility in Natchez, Miss. Afeyan won't speculate on the cost of his energy, being focused on the cost of producing the sugar that creates the energy. But the "performance was compelling," he said, and his catalyst is non-toxic, delivering sugar at just one-third the price of other solutions. He expects Midori to have further announcements in a few weeks. As indicated above, our body produces biocatalysts naturally, called protein enzymes, and such enzymes are at the heart of all sorts of natural chemical transformations, including the brewing of beer. What's new is the application of genetic engineering to produce custom catalysts that can be patented, and the scale on which their producers wish to work.

Apple Planning Product Launch for Anniversary
Apple's chain of brick and mortar retail stores is about to turn 10 years old and it seems the company is planning something special to commemorate the day.
This Thursday will mark 10 years to the day since Apple's first retail store, at Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia, opened its doors. Apple has certainly come a long way since May of 2001 and, if the latest rumors are to be believed, the Cupertino-based company has something very special planned for this weekend.
Boy Genius Report cites sources that say there's an overnight shift planned for 10-15 employees from every store starting late Saturday and continuing through to the middle of Sunday. Employees working this shift will be required to sign an NDA with Apple and their cell phones will be locked away in the main office. Black curtains will be hung in the windows to prevent people from seeing in and BGR's source says that stores have already received hardware to install, and are expecting more to come on Friday or Saturday. Employees have also downloaded "gigabytes of data from Apple corporate" labeled "training." These files will be inaccessible to managers and everyone else until Saturday afternoon.
Considering part of this grand plan is said to include black curtains in Apple store windows, we should know if there's any truth to these rumors by Saturday afternoon. But what is it Apple has got going on? Could it be the new iPhone? Apple's nose was put firmly out of joint last year when the iPhone 4 was leaked by Gizmodo. The first iPhone to feature a completely new design, it was a pretty big deal for Apple, but pictures and video were available well in advance of the WWDC 2010 launch. For a company that loves to keep products completely under wraps, that was a big blow. Is Apple planning to surprise everyone by springing an early iPhone 5 launch on us? Are all the reports of an iPhone 5 delay the work of Apple's expert PR team? We'll know in a few days!

-1fyasko , May 18, 2011 5:58 AMunless it is an ivagina and it's free idon't want it... ialdready have an ipod,
0JOSHSKORN , May 18, 2011 6:20 AMfyaskounless it is an ivagina and it's free idon't want it... ialdready have an ipod,
It's the iCarumba. A birdie told me so.
0Ragnar-Kon , May 18, 2011 7:26 AMBetter be the iTaco, and it should make tacos... cause I want a friggen taco right now.
Anyway, I am curious. First thing that comes to mind is that it is the iPhone 5... BUT I think it would be super hard for Apple, AT&T, Verizon, and all of the other iPhone carries to keep that a secret, so must be something different. Can't be a new Macbook, iMac, or Mac Pro since they refreshed all of those product lines recently. Can't be an iPad 3... cause... well thats just stupid to release a new iPad so close to the release of the current model.
So my bet is on a new iPod line revamp, or a new product entirely.
0rantoc , May 18, 2011 7:37 AMMy guess is a pink iphone that will be available for order, however considering the time it took to bring a white one - A delay for delivery due to "green fruit engineering" difficulty's can be expected!
-1back_by_demand , May 18, 2011 8:31 AMIt's the iPancreas, a magical and revolutionary way to recover from Pancreatic cancer
1molo9000 , May 18, 2011 10:36 AMhm.... lots of Apple products are at the end of their product life cycle.
iPhone, pretty much all iPods, the white MacBook and the Mac mini need the Sandy Bridge treatment, and the Mac Pro is waiting for Intel's new sockets and Xeon processors.
I think a new iPhone is unlikely. Just throwing a new iPhone out there without a lengthy keynote does not create the right kind of buzz.
I'd say new iPods.
0sbgirling , May 18, 2011 12:25 PMApple is launching a $1,000 scaled back version of the Mac Pro using the i5/i7 processors. User replaceable, RAM/hard drives/video cards.
0Anonymous , May 18, 2011 12:36 PMMy guess is the iCloud with completely new iPods designed to work with the iCloud.
0eddieroolz , May 18, 2011 1:31 PMSure, whatever. I'll just do something else more interesting that day.
0B-Unit , May 18, 2011 2:35 PMAfter the massive success that was the iPad, they're unveiling the next big thing, the iPon.
0Anonymous , May 18, 2011 2:37 PMAny chance it's the new Lion os?
0scook9 , May 18, 2011 3:02 PMDid not realize that was the first Apple store....I have been going to Tysons Corner Mall for 15 years haha
0chickenhoagie , May 18, 2011 3:48 PMclosed curtains? top secret? Yeah, definitely the HumancentiPad.
0zzz_b , May 18, 2011 4:30 PMWho cares???
Write something more interesting, PLEASE!
0c0oim4n , May 19, 2011 2:02 AMdingerkinghAny chance it's the new Lion os?
Thats what I was possibly thinking, but I don't see why they would do such a secretive launch... Steve announced it at WWDC last year, and slated a summer release. Besides, unless they completely revamped the entire OS, it's not enough for them to have that big of a release.
I was thinking that it may be an Apple-based gaming console... Like a ridiculously suped-up Apple TV designed for gaming.
0otacon72 , May 19, 2011 2:12 AMThe funny part for myself is I spent the past 3 weeks researching what tablet I wanted. I tried them all and I settled on the iPad2. Flame me all you want but it's the most polished tablet out there. Once I get my Droid Charge I'll have a 4G hotspot to use it with. I still don't like Apple but I had to go to an Apple store in my area to even get one because every place was sold out of them and they know how to treat their customer's right. The Apple store was packed with people of all age groups. They had 3 seminars going on for people who just bought Macbooks and another for new iPad owners. They have seminars booked every day for everything you can do with any Apple product. For some people paying that extra money for an Apple product is offset by extra stuff you get. For the regular PC user that doesn't need that stuff I can see why so many people are down on Apple but for some the extra money is worth it. Although I'll never get an Apple computer when the iPhone LTE comes out for Verizon I might pick it up.
0legacy7955 , May 19, 2011 4:29 AM
Gotta be the " iDontneedit."
The Apple "lifestyle" cult makes me puke. The comical thing is how many cultists pay through the nose to be a part of the "iN crowd".
Anyone else see the CNBC pieces where the show the "drones" lined up down a block waiting to get into the Apple store in NY or wherever to buy the newest thing they don't need?
0distanted , May 19, 2011 10:16 AMGeez, you guys are over-thinking this. Obviously, Apple plans on unveiling the iCurtain. It'll be available in black for the first 10 months, then in white, shortly before they introduce the iCurtain 2, which goes up and down at double the rate of the original iCurtain.
0fir_ser , May 20, 2011 12:11 AMsbgirlingApple is launching a $1,000 scaled back version of the Mac Pro using the i5/i7 processors. User replaceable, RAM/hard drives/video cards.
I hope so since the current Macbook version has old hardware such as the 3 year old Core2Duo.

Reviews for Mini Cheese Meat Loaves
Sort By :
"I gave this recipe to my two bachelor sons to make as they need simple meals to cook. They and their friends LOVED it. In fact, they said it might be their new favorite recipe."
"Great recipe to split for eat now, eat later! Also I made smaller portions (12 loaves), using 6 string cheese sticks, cut each in half, shape 1/4 cup of meat mixture around cheese. Combine sauce ingredients in large bowl instead of skillet. Take 6 loaves plus 1/2 of the sauce for eat now. For eat later, take the remaining 6 loaves wrapping each individually with plastic wrap. Freeze those loaves and the remaining sauce in airtight containers. When ready to use, put in refrigerator that morning to thaw, then that evening just unwrap and cook as directed. You could divide loaves and sauce into servings to fit your needs, 2, 3, 4, etc. Enjoy, we sure did!"

Jerry Sandusky, former assistant football coach at Penn State University, has been handed a sentence of 30 to 60 years in prison for multiple sexual assault charges. He molested many young boys and now has received his official state punishment.
Some journalists, bloggers and others are declaring "closure" along with "justice" for the victims, families, and others who have been harmed by this man. There are other voices declaring that there will be no closure to this case in spite of the hefty sentence. I agree that we should not be declaring closure.
In calling for closure, people in part are suggesting that this story can now "go away." We are told that people can stop thinking about it and victims suddenly have closure. This is a mistake.
As I explain in Closure: The Rush to End Grief and What It Costs Us, we are frequently told that we need closure after bad things happen—"a satisfying ending" to a traumatic event. Closure has become central for explaining what we need after trauma and loss. It is a new emotional state, one that people supposedly need to find in order to heal after a loss. Yet there is no agreed upon answer for what closure means or how you are supposed to find it. Closure has been described—in contradictory ways—as justice, peace, healing, acceptance, forgetting, remembering, forgiveness, moving on, answered questions, or revenge.
