Friday night I was surprised with a beautiful hospitality gift: a box of ripe Michigan blueberries, picked earlier that day by the hands of those that gave them to me. Saturday morning I was delighted to find boxes of white peaches on the in-season produce table at the Farmer's Market. Both fruits were already delicious on their own, but when an overcast Sunday evening rolled around, I turned on the oven and put them together. The flavors melted into each other with a little help from some butter and brown sugar. A comforting end to a memorable weekend.
Peaches, halved & pits removed / Butter / Brown sugar, mixed with butter / Blueberries
Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes. Baking time will vary a bit depending on the ripeness of the fruit. Delicious alone or with ice cream / whipped cream. The sauce that is created from the juices is perfect spooned over Angel Food Cake.
I grew up in a small house in the country. This time of year I could see flickering constellations of yellow fireflies hovering over the bean fields from my bedroom window at night. Behind our property, the horizon line was divided by a corn field, then woods. Our house sat sandwiched between these two typical Indiana crops along with a yard that was big enough for kickball games, sprinkler races, and our very own strawberry patch. It was in that backyard patch where you could find me and my big sister squatting, weeding, and snacking on sun-warmed strawberries on summer afternoons.
Almost every night for dinner my mom made fresh pie or fruit salad that included the strawberries that survived the journey from the backyard into the house. When we reached a surplus of berries, especially those blood red, almost-over-ripened, starting-to-get-mushy ones, my mom would make jam. I remember the heat from the strawberries stewing on the stove top was no match for the already hot and heavy Indiana summertime air. The scent that it added to the atmosphere made the humidity not only bearable but luscious.
Maybe that's why I like this cake. When it is baking it smells just like it used to in our humid, un-air-conditioned house in the country while my mom was stirring strawberries on the stove top and bread was baking in the oven. I call it a breakfast cake not only because it includes an egg, some buttermilk, and fresh fruit, but because it is a satisfying pairing with your routine breakfast beverage. No frosting or glaze is necessary since the baked cake comes out of the oven with a top crust of roasted red fruit and a crown of brown sugar crunch. Of course you can eat this cake at any time of day. Eat it after dinner for dessert with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or dollop of whipped cream and single espresso. Eat it for an afternoon snack. This cake is not fussy. It is comforting and just sweet enough to cut the density of the day much like the sumptuous humidity of jam-making days in the country.
Strawberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake
Adapted from Martha Stewart's Strawberry Cake
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pie plate
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup – 1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pound strawberries, washed, hulled and halved
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch pie plate. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl.
Put butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Reduce speed to medium-low; mix in egg, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture.
Transfer batter to buttered pie plate.
Arrange strawberries on top of batter, cut sides down and as close together as possible.
Sprinkle at least 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or demerara sugar) over berries.
Bake cake 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Bake until cake is golden brown and firm to the touch, about 50 minutes more.
Let cool in pie plate on a wire rack.
Cake can be stored at room temperature, loosely covered, up to 2 days.
If ever a muffin were meal-worthy and meaty, this is the one. It begins with a mashed sweet potato and ends with a team of 'superfoods' encased in the batter. This is the type of muffin that you throw in your backpack before a hike or grab on the way out the door to make up for breakfast. Or better yet, have it for breakfast, toasted and topped with peanut (or other nut/seed) butter, and you will face the day as a force to be reckoned with! The recipe below is a riff on a paleo inspired recipe for Morning Glory Muffins. My version includes dried blueberries, walnuts, flaxseed, and coconut. Did I mention that there is no butter, oil, or refined sugar in them; they really are super muffins.
Morning Superpowers Muffins
Hot toddy weather seems to be here to stay this winter. It seemed only natural to me to create a bundt cake inspired by the honey lemon bourbon beverage. The perfect slice to complement hot tea, hot toddy, or hot company.
Hot Toddy Bundt Cake
adapted from Taste of Home
1 cup butter, softened
zest of two lemons
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2 teaspoons bourbon
juice of 2 lemons
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon bourbon
2 cups confectioners' sugar (maybe more)
In a bowl, cream butter. Gradually beat in sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each egg. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream and bourbon. Beat just until blended. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 25 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Whisk together glaze ingredients. Using a pastry brush, coat the surface with glaze. Repeat every ten minutes or so to build up a sweet layer (think of it like basting). If you do not have the time or patience, thicken the glaze with additional confectioners' sugar to make a frosting for spreading over the top.
A fresh batch of granola for my upcoming road trip! This go around, I changed up Melissa Clarks' recipe with some dried mango, candied ginger, and walnuts. Packed and ready: a tasty remedy for the munchies and a potentially queasy stomach, along with a hint of summertime flavor.
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (regular or gluten free)
1 1/2 cups raw walnuts
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 cup coconut
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup chopped (or torn) dried mangoes
1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, combine oats, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut, maple syrup, olive oil, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and cardamom. Spread mixture in an even layer and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and well toasted.
2. Transfer granola to a large bowl and add mangoes and candied ginger, tossing to combine.
Much alone or atop yogurt.
Recently I noticed a new addition to the freeze dried foods selection at my local market: tangerines. While I enjoy fresh tangerines, they are rarely available where I live, and the texture of canned tangerines is a little slimy for my liking. Imagine my delight for this new storable tangerine option! Crisp and filled with air like a cheese puff, though incredibly light and flavorful, I immediately thought of making bittersweet and bright, dark chocolate snacks with these freeze dried fruits. Simple to do; the small tiger-striped bites melt in your mouth without the dense chewiness of dried fruit or over the saturated syrupy taste of a jelly. Fun for a party! Next I ground the remaining freeze dried tangerines in my coffee grinder to add an unexpected citrus twist atop dark chocolate chunk brownies. Make your favorite brownie recipe, bake, sprinkle with powdered sugar, then let the tangerine dust work it's magic at the very last minute. The tangerine and dark chocolate air is an added bonus.

text: you asked... What Happens at Baby's 12-Month Checkup? Baby's 12-month checkup is coming up. What questions, procedures and immunizations should I expect? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: Baby's 12-month checkup is coming up. What questions, procedures and immunizations should I expect? You've made it to one year! This milestone calls for exciting, toddler things like real milk and sippy cups, and it also means a checkup with another round of immunizations, says Preeti Parikh, MD. Here's what else: Questions the doctor will ask• Is baby crawling, walking and pulling himself up? (It's completely okay if he's not walking yet.)• Has baby made the transition to solids?• How many teeth does baby have? (It could be anywhere from zero to eight.)• How are baby's motor skills? Does he use both hands to pick things up?• Does baby follow moving objects with his eyes?• What is baby saying? It should be at least one word beyond "mama" and "dada." Procedures the doctor will do Weight check. The doctor or nurse will measure and weigh baby and plot weight, height, and head circumference on a growth chart that indicates the average height and weight for boys and girls. Baby should stay within the same percentile range from checkup to checkup. Physical. The doctor will check baby's heart, lungs, genitals, reflexes, joints, eyes, ears and mouth. She'll also check the shape of baby's head and check his soft spots (fontanels) to make sure they're developing properly. Blood test. Baby's blood will be screened for anemia and checked for lead. Vaccines baby may get• MMR• Chickenpox• Hepatitis A (But it can also wait until 15 months.) Recommendations the doctor will make• Introduce real milk, but no more than 24 ounces per day, since most calories should be coming from solids. Some babies don't really like regular milk, so yogurt and cheese are good alternatives.• Let baby play and feed himself with cereal to work on fine motor skills.• Look baby in the eyes while you're talking to work on communication development.• Wean him off the bottle and on to sippy cups. Parikh says cups with straws are best for mouth development.• Start weaning baby off of the pacifier. Start by taking it away during naps.• Keep brushing baby's new teeth.

Tawny asks:
My twin boys were born at 35 weeks and are doing great except for the nursing. In the hospital we finger fed with a syringe and feed them a combo of my expressed milk and donated milk. As the amount they were supposed to eat increased the hospital suggested using a bottle as they said it was important for them to be getting as much food as possible to put on weight. Our routine was to get them to latch, feed them with a bottle or syringe and then pump. Now we are home and I desperately want to breastfeed them exclusively but I am afraid that they have already developed a preference for the bottle. They don't latch for very long and get frustrated easily, as do I. I know I should be patient and not expect too much but I just don't know what to do. Any advice? Thanks so much.
Congratulations on your new babies! And how exciting to have them home!
Babies born at 35 weeks are considered "Late Preterm Infants" – they're not too tiny and often don't require much (if any) extra hospital or NICU time, but they're still very sleepy and need a lot of encouragement to eat. It's pretty typical hospital protocol for late preterm infants to involve breastfeeding, supplementing (at breast, if possible), and pumping to stimulate milk production, just as you're doing. This process, known as "triple feeding" works to stimulate milk production while ensuring that the babies get enough to eat so they can grow! It's also exhausting! If triple feeding needs to continue for more than a week or so, parents are often advised to supplement using bottles rather than using a supplemental nurser at breast (or by finger) because the tubes and syringes are quite a production and parents often want to get more efficient with their time management so mom (and dad) can get some rest. Plus, babies can get tired out when breastfeeding and we want to be sure that they don't burn more calories nursing than they are taking in.
While you're in this combination feeding phase — and it is just a phase — here are some tips for balancing breastfeeding and supplementing:
- When bottle feeding, use a slow flow nipple and practice paced bottle feeding. It's easy for a baby to chomp on a bottle and elicit a fast flow of milk, but this flow can overwhelm them. Build in breaks when you're feeding by bottle to give the babies a chance to catch their breath, and to keep them in practice for the slightly slower pace of breastfeeding. To do paced feeding, hold the bottle in a more horizontal position relative to the baby's mouth, and watch the baby for signs they may need a break. Tip the bottle down slightly to encourage the babies to pause for a moment before resuming their bottle feeding. (More tips for paced bottle feeding [pdf].)
- Continue offering the breast! It may seem like the babies are developing a preference to the faster flow of the bottle, and you may need to work with them to transition to feeding exclusively at the breast once they are stronger and your supply is well established. Until then, keep breastfeeding as part of the feeding routine. Many moms begin their feeding sessions at the breast, then follow with a bottle. You can also reverse this order – offering the bottle first to satiate the babies' immediate hunger, and following with the breast once they are less frantic. This may help the babies (and you) get more comfortable with the breastfeeding without getting as frustrated. (This has been dubbed the "finish at the breast" method of supplementation. [pdf])
- When the babies are at the breast, consider using breast compressions to increase milk flow to the babies. Breast compressions and breast massage can increase milk flow to the babies, giving them a bit of a boost while they're getting the hang of sucking.
- Tandem nursing is wonderful for breast stimulation (and time management!) but in the early days it may be easier to feed the babies one at a time so you can focus on the basics – establishing a comfortable position, getting a deep latch, and helping the babies transfer milk.
- If the babies are still having trouble latching, you may benefit from a visit by a Lactation Consultant who can help assess the babies' latch, weigh them before and after a feeding to determine how well they're transferring milk at the breast, and help you develop a plan to meet your breastfeeding goals.
What do you say, moms? How did you help your babies transition to breastfeeding after using bottles? What other tips do you have for establishing breastfeeding in the early days?

Breakfast of Champions
In Breakfast of Champions, one of Kurt Vonnegut's most beloved characters, the aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. What follows is murderously funny satire, as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth.
Rosetta Books
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.
The core of the novel is Kilgore Trout, a familiar character very deliberately modeled on the science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon (1918-1985), a fact which Vonnegut conceded frequently in interviews and which was based upon his own occasional relationship with Sturgeon. Here Kilgore Trout is an itinerant wandering from one science fiction convention to another; he intersects with the protagonist, Dwayne Hoover (one of Vonnegut's typically boosterish, lost and stupid mid-American characters) and their intersection is the excuse for the evocation of many others, familiar and unfamiliar, dredged from Vonnegut's gallery.
The central issue is concerned with intersecting and apposite views of reality, and much of the narrative is filtered through Trout who is neither certifiably insane nor a visionary writer but can pass for either depending upon Dwayne Hoover's (and Vonnegut's) view of the situation. America, when this novel was published, was in the throes of Nixon, Watergate and the unraveling of our intervention in Vietnam; the nation was beginning to fragment ideologically and geographically, and Vonnegut sought to cram all of this dysfunction (and a goofy, desperate kind of hope, the irrational comfort given through the genre of science fiction) into a sprawling narrative whose sense, if any, is situational, not conceptual.
Reviews were polarized; the novel was celebrated for its bizarre aspects, became the basis of a Bruce Willis movie adaptation whose reviews were not nearly so polarized. (Most critics hated it.) This novel in its freewheeling and deliberately fragmented sequentiality may be the quintessential Vonnegut novel, not necessarily his best, but the work which most truly embodies the range of his talent, cartooned alienation and despair.

The wireless carrier is expanding its existing Wi-Fi calling and texting service with promises of more coverage in the home and in the air.
The low-cost waterproof smartphone joins a growing roster of devices capable of making phone calls over Wi-Fi.
CNET editor Dong Ngo explains how Wi-Fi calling works with the latest smartphones, including the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and picks the top five routers that are best for this technology.
AT&T exec Ralph de la Vega also says he expects customer turnover to remain near record-low levels in the current quarter.
Sprint customers traveling overseas get a boon with the carrier's added Wi-Fi calling feature, starting with the Galaxy S4.
Freewheel service will cost $29.95 per month and work only with Motorola's Moto G smartphone, which Cablevision will sell for $99.95.
In light of customer protests, Marriott stops blocking personal hot spots, but continues to seek guidance from FCC on how to maintain Internet security at hotels.
iOS 8's support for Wi-Fi calling means that iPhone owners will finally get in on a feature that Android and Windows Phone owners have had for years.
The Samsung smartphone marks the fourth Sprint device to receive the free calling capability.
Sprint's new service lets subscribers use Wi-Fi hot spots to make phone calls and send text messages. The move should help improve coverage for Sprint customers, especially indoors.

A Hat for St. Pats
Well I turned my little pile of wrapped cording into a St. Patrick's day hat…. sombrero….. sunhat? I didn't make the bowl part deep enough since I was worried I wouldn't have enough for the brim and ended up with a Scarlett O'Hara type hat. All it needs is an enormous amount of velvet ribbon and I'll be set. I'll definitely do the bowl part deeper next time. It was super fun to make though! I see more hats {Read More}

Helmed by Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Jacob Portrait, the band's explorations include forays into psychedelic synapses just this side of chill-wave; something more closely resembling a lo-fi Pixies on Quaaludes, or a regular-fi Vaselines on hot tea and kale salad.

Nice quote, thanks for sharing....Wonder how much that has to do with everyone clubbing two-fisted backhands (and sometimes forehands) as well as advanced racket technology? Justine, Amelie, Loit and a handful of others use significant variety in their tactics, but with the advent of Graf, Seles and the Williams sisters especially, the emphasis seems to've steered towards over-powering your opponent to a much greater degree. So just as with Roddick and some of the other current male players, it does become treadmill to watch after awhile...except of course, with Fabrice Santoro

Does the Qur'an call Jews Pigs and Apes? And is it Allowed for Muslims to Do So?
Asalamu alaykum,
I was recently asked this question and hope this answer helps?
The Question: "Does the Qur'an call Jews pigs and apes? And it is allowed for Muslims to do so?"
Thanks for your question.:
In the second chapter of the Qur'an there is the story of the people of the Sabbath who failed to abide by Allah's commands. Thus, according to the Qur'an they were turned into pigs and apes. However, there are a few important points to this story:
1. It does not refer to all the people of the Jewish faith, but only a certain group of people from the followers of Musa.
2. It is not appropriate for one to call people of the Jewish tradition "pigs and apes" or "sons of pigs and apes" since, besides being extremely rude, it is not correct. All major commentators of Quran mention that these pigs and apes did not reproduce but died off. Sh. Yusuf al-Qaradwi noted this mentioning that one should not do so. Finally, Muslims are ordered by Allah to "Speak that which is best" and to "Call unto the way of your Lord with wisdom." Thus, it is not befitting for a Muslim to be lowly in his discourse, rude in his manners and bigoted towards others. Allah says, "[you must] be just. It is closer to piety."
We ask Allah to raise our stations and grant us noble characters.

Welcome back, suhaibwebb.com.
More Qur'an posts please! Thank you.
Thank your for clarifying this sidi.
Jazakumallahu khairan Shaikh Imam Suhaib, may Allah bless you for propogating the knowledge, may Allah keep you and this website going for a long long time
As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Jazak Allahu khayran, dear brother.
Would it be okay for me to translate some of your blog posts, like this one, and post them on my blog ( http://sunnidk.wordpress.com )? I would off course credit you and link back to your original post. The translation will be to danish.
BarakAllahu feek, dear Imam.
May Allah reward you and let us learn from you.
Was-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
There is a principle in Judaism that a person does not obey Allah that person is considered beneath an animal. An animal does not have intellect as we do and it does as Allah wishes. When a Jew who like all humans has the intelect and capacity to discern the truth and obey Allah's commands fails to do so he is beneath the animal.
I find it interesting that one would postulate from this account in the Quran that all Jews are Pigs and Apes.
Even if those Jews who were transformed in this manner did reproduce would not the offspring be Pigs and Apes? I never met a Jew with four legs and rolling around in mud. Nor have I met a Jew with hair all over and eating bananas. I am poking a little fun, but you see my point I am sure.It is advantageous for those who want to divide the Muslim and Jewish community with hate and fear to propogate this falsehood that all Jews are pigs and apes.
Remember how Muhammad pbuh treated the Jews of his time. We should emulate the Prophet pbuh in this manner as we do so dillegently in all others.
yes bro i remember how he treated banu qurayza tribe..lol
Asalamu alaykum,
You are free to translate whatever you like.
Assalaaamu Alaikum
subhanallah!!! I just watched a video on YouTube with my friend who wants to convert and it was a mother asking a 3 yr old what Allah thinks of the Jews and the girl said that they are pigs and monkeys and then She asked her how she knew and the girl said from the Quran. Both me and my friend were suprised and I was embarrassed because I didn't know wat to say and I knew I remeber reading that somewhere. Now I know to show her this, Alhamdulillah.
As Muslims we need to also stop saying "yighribit il yahood" astagfirullah
may Allah forgive us
barak alahu feek suheib webb!! I love ur website! -
I happened to stumble across this site while trying to explain to someone that "Yes, there's something in the Qu'ran about Jews, apes & pigs, but it's NOT what everyone thinks it is" – and this site, as well as the commentary, perfectly illustrate the point I was trying to make. Thank you for getting the truth out.
ASalamu Alaikum,
I was looking for more info about the "Apes and Pigs" and
Can you linked me to some sources that denied the use of those Suras against nowadays Jews and Christians? Because as we know, nowadays, there are many Islamic groups (like Hamas, Islamic jihad etc') who are using those terms against Jews (mostly) and Christians…
Anyway, I'm glad I could find here other point of view.
Thank you for that. -
This is defiantly an interesting commentary on the subject. It is actually almost cute/not offensive.
Hey cousins,
Nice to see there are some decent Muslims out there who don't think we Jews are descendants of pigs and monkeys!
Wish you guys had a stronger voice in the world.
Hey! Yes we respect Jews and we would never call them as such. Allah was describing a punishment to those persons as warning to Muslims so that we too should not do what is forbidden. In many instances in the Quran Allah says that he favoured the children of Israel by helping them against pharaoh and his army, and showered on them food, the manna and quail from the sky which is a miracle just for them. In fact we Muslims have more in common with practising Jews than the Christians in many things. The Muslims that say such things are not educated properly and are angered more at the political situation between Jews and Muslims, and their leaders are wrongly fuelling such hatred by brainwashing them and twisting the words of our Almighty creator.
Can you explain how millions of Muslims around the world believe that the Koran does actually define all Jews as pigs and or dogs? Can you explain in terms of textual references to the Koran, how Muslims carry out 99% of the world's religiously motivated murders, rapes and genocide? Muslim Terrorists obviously believe the Koran does instruct them to kill non Muslims and that it does define Jews as pigs and dogs. Can you explain how they interpret the Koran in that way? Because, if you can, then we have the basis of a viable counterjihad ideology and a useful tool for public information to challenge the ideology of Terror which is derived, rightly or wrongly, from the Koran, do we not?
Dear Jack
Read the Quran with an open heart, and not with a closed mind. Certain people will interpret the Quran for their own gains – be they Islamophobes or Extremists. Also you are unfair to say that 99% of religiously motivated crimes are committed by Muslims – where is your proof? Don't think that Islam was created after 9/11! Do you honestly think that Muslims – of all ages, and colours and nationalities are bent on raping, committing massacres, etc??? I can ask why were the Christians bent on invading the world in barbaric ways, when it is often stated in the Bible to "turn the other cheek"? Isn't that defying the Bible? If you want to know why there is so much chaos around the Middle East, you must understand the Western Imperialists who wreaked havoc there in the 19th century treating the natives as second-class people. Much of what we see now is due to the dirty politics, and the people who are suffering the most are the Muslims.
Also translating the Quran causes a loss in translation, which is why it is important to read the Quran in original text i.e. Arabic. Furthermore, certain words, have different meanings like one famous example is awliyaa which is often translated as allies, in terms of political sense. But certain people translate it as friends. This can have therefore have a profound effect if the Quran is translated to another language and read by a layman.
As-salaam-u-alaykum everyone
It seems like the concept of Jews being 'apes and pigs' has been taken a bit too far. Yes in the Quran it mentions a certain portion of the Israelites who angered Allah, by breaking the Holy Day of Sabbath for their own measly material gains, and as a consequence they were humiliated and disgraced by Allah.
Now first of all one must understand that it is very wrong to state that the Israelites are all apes and pigs, and such people should fear Allah, because many of our beloved prophets and righteous people who followed them, during their times, came from such a nation.
Secondly, the Quran mentions a particular Israeli community by the sea – a fishing community. It also mentions that a PORTION of that community (who were Israelites) were angered by those members of the community who broke the Holy Sabbath – a Sacred Covenant made between God and the Israelites. This is important to realise, as Allah SWT saved them from His Wrath but punished the mischief-makers.
Now there is some debate amongst certain scholars of whether or not the culprits were literally turned to apes and monkeys, or was it metaphorically-speaking. To be honest I have no qualms with either, as it is easy for Allah SWT to do any of them.
Some may think it is anti-semitic, but if we first get a historial perspective on this, we will notice that in the Bible, is states that from time-time, certain members of the Israelite community, were warned concerning the Sabbath, as evident from the times of Prophet Jeremiah – peace be on him – (Jeremiah 17: 21-27); Prophet Ezekiel – peace be on him – (Ezekiel 20: 12-24); and Christ (peace be on him) as mentioned by orations in the New Testament. Therefore it was no surprise that Allah would test this community too. In the Aggadah – the Jewish Book that deals with the non-legal rulings of the Talmud, it states that certain people were turned to apes and demons e.g. the attempted construction of Tower of Babel, there was a portion of the people who wanted to wage war against God, but Allah changed them to apes and demons – humiliated and disgraced (Aggadah – Sanhedrin 109a). Another example was the People of Enoch (AS) – they were turning to apes due to their rebellious nature (Bereishit Rabbah 23:6). Even the 20th century Jewish Talmudist Rabbi Louis Ginzberg stated in his book, Legend of the Jews, that what the Quran mentioned regarding the Sabbath Breakers, is similar to Jewish Legends that described wicked Israelites meeting a similar fate. He even stated that the nickname of Joseph the Caiaphas – the Jewish High Priest, who was reported amongst Christians to have plotted the killing of Christ (peace be on him) – meant ape! lol. So if this is stated by Rabbis and in the Aggadah, then the Jews should not think that whatever the Quran mentions regarding the Sabbath breakers is anti-semitic, AND if they read it carefully, they will realise that only a portion of that community was punished! Furthermore, when the Verses of the Sabbath Breakers were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), did the Medina Jews or the Jews elsewhere, at the time, find those verses offensive? The Medina Jews tried to attack Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) for many things, but never are we told that this was one of the reasons. This must mean that those Jews were aware of such incidents to have taken place in their history.
I hope that makes sense!

"Excellent Biography!"
This Great Master: Beethoven-- His Life and Music is a great find. The biography is non linear, told by a prizewinner professor, Robert Greenberg. The professor is a great enthusiast of Beethoven, and that shows in his lectures. He accompanies the biography with Beethoven music, and points out why that sonata is good, or not so good, and what was happening to him in that time. Great listening!
"Mini Habits May Work for You (and Myself)"
Although it is a small book and the writer tries hard to fill it up with scientific knowledge, the soul of Mini Habits is simple: create few-- up to 4-- mini habits, even laughable ones (like do one push up), and follow the script (or don't break the chain).
And yes, it may work.
I did something like that when I was writing my first book. At the time I was a resident at a cardiology hospital, my wife was pregnant, and I told myself: write one page a day and please don't break the chain. Most of the days I wrote 3 pages, and couldn't get hold of myself. I completed the book before my daughter was born.
Now for my second book I cannot write one page a day-- It seems too much effort. I have 2 kids, many patients to see, well, almost impossible (or so I think). And I postpone. I know that I could find time to write. Maybe if I told myself: "write 5 LINES each day" I could had completed my second book years ago.
Good idea, Stephen Guise!
"Brilliant Night!"
Night, by Elie Wiesel, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, is great book to read. His words are gentle, but he speaks of destiny, cruelty, disease, death. The ignorance about the diabolic nazi, the ghetto, the deportation, the cattle car, the starvation, the injustice, are still ringing in my ears, as well as to many who had read the book. I've got in touch with the book when I was a naive teen, but the audible version is much, much better.
The narration by George Guidall, at first sounded strange, hard to listen, but, when I got accustumed I reconsidered, and thought that it fitted just right with the gloomy atmosphere of the story.
The crude reality of a tragic war told by a gifted writer, and very much worth listening and never forgotten.
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
"Slowing Down Time Itself"
Sometimes we gotta listen to something like that: soothing, motivational, relaxing, healthy. Better, we gotta listen to it on a regular basis. The book focus on concentrating in the moment, instead of thinking about the past or wondering about the future. We have to listen to our body, learn how to breathe, being fully there.
Jon Kabat-Zinn has a penetrating voice that convinced me to practice mindfulness.
Great book!
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
Make it Stick, I think, is the best book that teaches how to learn-- the strategies, what really, really works, not only empirical data, but the researches, the scientific data. Do you think that reading all over again is a good plan to ace tests? Think again. There is so much good information that in the middle of the book I had to buy the written version. But don't be mistaken, the audible version delivers it all.
Make it stick is a must! Everybody who wants to increase brain power, that has a limited time to study, has to listen/read it.
Excellent book!
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
I enjoyed Smarter-- I view it as the author's quest for choosing the right formula on how to increase his fluid intelligence. He meets a lot of great scientists, many who say that intelligence is immutable; others who insist that it is changeable and can be increased, reads lots of scientific papers, ponders, doubts,and then prepares his own regimen, mixing ingredients that he believes will augment his brain power.
Well, could he do it?
Read it and find out.
At least he "FEELS SMARTER"!-- good ending.
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks!]
"Great, from beginning to end"
I read "Cracking the Code" in one seat, or better, while doing groceries and cooking dinner. It is a great book: small, energetic, enthusiastic and fast paced. Go ahead and listen to it. You will love it too.
"Practical, but misses passion"
Commit to Win almost enchanted me. It is practical, well researched, objective, but something slipped from the author's view: I think it lacks passion. Heidi Reeder knows a lot about the subject of commitment and gives us the element to "going all in" or an alternative if it isn't working out (get out of the commitment without being ashamed or guilty), but the vast knowledge couldn't extrapolate to the pages with heart beating words. 4 stars, not five, but a good book after all.
"Good book"
Are you curious? Is curiosity really significant in our future and to the future of education? What drives us to be curious? Those are the questions that Ian Leslie tries to answer. Yes, he emphasizes that curiosity is not all, that we need to have the basis, the knowledge, first. But knowledge is linked as feedback loop to curiosity. Yes, we need to be curious to develop expertise. And there are types of curiosity, like novelty seeking (not so good) and a the much beneficial epistemic curiosity. It is a good book, enjoyable, captivating.
"Well written, easy to read and effective"
Walter Mischel is one of the popes from the recent psychology. He designed the well known Mashmallow Test that proved that kids who waited for the researcher to come back and earned the second treat (instead of ringing the bell early to get only one marshmallow) did better in life than their peers. He found out that this was because of self control and executive function, and that it could be learned and enhanced. Ok, that is common knowledge, and I thought that the book was only about that test, but Walter Mischel goes way beyond that, creating links between the research and the current knowledge to write a great book.
Go ahead! Listen to it. You will enjoy it.

Repair Affair is Bell-Whitley Community Action Agency's annual spring home maintenance event. Utilizing volunteer labor and donated materials, elderly and disabled homeowners have minor home repairs and maintenance done. Often the repair needs are inconvenient to the homeowner and are cost prohibitive.
Volunteers with Repair Affair are assigned to a specific home and have specific jobs that they are responsible for. These volunteers see their projects through to completion. All projects selected for Repair Affair can be accomplished in one day. If, for some reason, the job is not completed that day, then the volunteers complete it another day.
Repair Affair accepts volunteers from all backgrounds and there are no specific skills required. You may find yourself working alongside attorneys, pastors, high school/college students, secretaries, or even a professional building contractor. The only requirement is a willingness to work hand-in-hand in order to help those who are less fortunate.
Some of the maintenance needs that are encountered include: replacing entry doors, hanging or patching gutters, installing new vanities, faucet replacement/repair, lock replacement, installing wireless doorbells, smoke detectors, handrails, porch repair/replace, painting, etc. There is also the need for grass cutting, hedge trimming, and weeding. The list is endless, the need is great, but the reward is unparalleled. Click here to download a 2012 Bell County Repair Affair Volunteer Applicaiton. You must have Adobe Reader to open this form.

the setiing the view the suroundings,the staff the cuisine. Recommended by e hotel,the restaurant send a driver and bring you back.We found simple dishes excellent as opposed to the specials..local wines great advice great setting a must
The reception staff at our hotel in Stresa recommended this restaurant as very special and they were right. They rang to make the reservation and the restaurant sent a car to collect us. Although not the cheapest compared to some of the Stresa restaurants, the menu is imaginative, uses fresh local ingredients and changes regularly according to what is in... More
The restaurant is located on the top of Stresa. They offer the transfer from your hotel to the restaurant. This place is really authentic, the owner is really charming. We had a really good time.
Very friendly hostess, lovely dining room, delicious meals.
The menu always offers something a bit different, and usually querky. I enjoy cooking at home, and when I go out to eat, I want something equal to, our better than I can provide.I am rarely disappointed.Added to which the meal is served in a nice no rush atmosphere.
The Osteria called Vecchio Tram is situated on the way down to Stresa from the motorway at Vedasco. It is quite difficult to notice as the road is narrow and the alley leading to the restaurant is in a tight bend. The venue is pretty. It is an old station or a stop of the tram that used to run... More
We spend a lot of time in Italy and we were very impressed with this restaurant. The owners are the most friendly people imaginable and are genuinely enthusiastic about developing new dishes. Many Italian restaurants are happy to churn out the old standards, but the Vecchio Tram includes dishes which are much more adventurous. When I liked the idea of... More
An exceptional setting and view. Difficult to spot the entry drive on the right going uphill. Huge enthusiasm of the host/ hostess. Lovely presentations. Food quality variable. One of our party became ill after dining there having had a mixed fish appetizer. A possible food handling issue.
We are foodies, but this resto does not deserve all these good ratings. Both of us returned the main courses.

"I doctor up my favorite brownie mix- Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge to make this and a couple other variations. This one is my husband's favorite, and mine, as well.... so far - I'm not done fooling around with this! If you like rich mocha flavor, you should enjoy this. The computer wants me to say "Duncan Hines chewy Fudge Brownie" mix, but it's the "Dark Chocolate Fudge" mix I use!"
Serving Size: 1 (64 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 9
"Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe Saralaya. We really enjoyed these decadent treats. The brownies were perfect, light and tender, fudgy and chewy, with an excellent mocha flavor. I frosted them with a whipped cream cheese frosting a little bittersweet frosting, they were wonderful. Made for Spring Pac/12"
"We had just brought the cattle up from the pastures below this morning for their check-ups tomorrow. While I was preparing the barn for them, my mind wondered off to the distant thought of the brownies I was making later this afternoon by a dear person that had voted for a stupendous town that needed some extra help. I picked this recipe to make because it had all the components that upon devouring them make you feel as though you had indulged yourself in a vat of chocolate and mocha. As I was preparing these with ease, the aroma of the mocha, and the chocolate of the brownies were already calling my name, so I knew, just knew, that these were going to be the highlight of my day. I followed this exactly. Even down to using the toaster oven/convection oven. The timing was perfect, heck the whole recipe is perfection plus. I cut two, ate one, and am sitting here looking the second one in the face. Ah well, I will work it off tomorrow letting the cattle back down to the beautiful, green pasture. But for right now, I have a brownie with the name, "A-N-D-I" printed on it. Lovely! Made to honor you for your contribution to the Village of Lawerencetown NS March 2010"

Color of stool is wood (cherry) is spot on and is just a little darker than our kitchen cabinets. The cushion is black just as we expected and has enough padding to be comfortable.. All the screws come in a single bag that needs to be separated into the various sizes needed to assemble product.. First stool was easy to assemble and when together in about 40 minutes and the second in about 25 minutes.
These chairs are of excellent quality.I was very surprised to see how sturdy and substantial the chairs are - very sold construction!! Exceptional value and they are just beautiful.I woudl highly recommend these chairs if you are looking for a high end chair at bargain basement prices!!!!!
For the money, the quality exceeded my expectations. They arrived very quickly. It did take my husband almost 3 hours to put them together. The directions were simple to follow. I purchased 3 of these for a gift to be used at a kitchen island.
Great fit for my new kitchen. One of the backs had a dent in it, was quickly replaced. Very easy process.
Nice wood and very sturdy. Fairly easy to put together. Disappointed in the color of the seats. I specifically wanted brown to match other furniture and the color appears black.
the chair wobbled when i sat on it. the swivel part of the seat is too flimsy. im afraid it will break.
I looked for 6 months for bar stools and these fit the bill perfectly. I ordered 5 to go around my new island peninsula In our kitchen remodel. Having had several sets of stools in the past, I knew specifically what I wanted. These stools are not big and bulky and fit neatly under island. They are study construction and are holding up well. We have 2 rough boys in their teens- constantly fidgeting, moving. We are all average size. If you have family members excessively heavy, this may not work. These stools are not oversized. I love the rich looking wood and the faux leather is a breeze to wipe and clean-old stools were fabric and they stayed covered with stains. My husband is very "handy" with tools so he had all 5 together in a little over an hour. The Allen wrench that came with it is too short, so pick up a long one and assembly is a breeze.
These stools are very nice compared to what I could find in lower end stores. Great bargain for the price. I think they'll hold up for a long time. Not to hard to put together once my husband got the first one done the others were easy. I like the swivel and we have them by our breakfast bar in the kitchen, just the right height.
We bought four of these stools. The assembly instructions are clear and easy to follow. All hardware is included, which is a plus. The chairs, once assembled, are comfortable and solid. No rocking from uneven legs. We are very pleased with the purchase - have seen very similar stools at the store for over twice the price.
The stools were accurate in the size and color as described. Chairs are very comfortable. When we received the boxes, one of the three was totally destroyed and ripped apart, however, due to good packaging, there was no damage to the chair. During assembly, on one of the chairs, I discovered that several of the bolts were the wrong size and also an inaccurate number of bolts/washers. There is no avenue to get the correct assembly parts (telephone number, address, etc) except to return the entire chair. This being too laborious a task for some parts, I went and acquired them separately. Also on one of the three chairs, the receiving hole for one of the bolts was not properly aligned. If not meticulous about assembly, it is easy for the legs to be unequal length and the chair to be wobbly. With the exception of assembly of one of the chairs, we were well pleased.

Don't post things like "potentially able to take a life" Concealed carry has a few important points. Good gun good holster good belt good guy Do not carry the coolest little gadget gun they make just because it tucks nicely into the back of your necktie. I'm a firm believer in double-stack 9mm for carry, others trust a 5 shot j frame. Carry an adequate caliber. Carry adequate ammunition. Dress around the gun. Again, dress around the gun. It is a carry permit, not law enforcement accreditation. Society is a little bit safer with one more good guy and his gun on the street. Good job, welcome to the club. PS- Winchester ranger and Speer gold dots are better than hydrashoks.
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship? Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?
When you are carrying it is even more incumbent on you to avoid confrontation. If you ever have to use it, you do not want to even appear to have been the antagonist. Generally you need to use the "reasonable man" rule. Would a reasonable man have been in fear of great bodily harm or death?
(Luke 11:21 KJV) When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: (Luke 22:36 KJV) Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Congrats on getting your permit, just remember that if you ever pull your weapon,its because you/your family are in iminent fear of grave injury or death. I dont like seeing good people go to prison over an altercation where deadly force wasnt justified. With carrying a weapon comes more responsibility, just use your noodle and you will be just fine.welcome aboard...

"If the Earth were made of gold, I guess men would kill for a handful of dirt." - Gary Cooper's last line in the movie THE GARDEN OF EVIL
Situation awareness is important. Be attentive to what is going on around you when out shopping, etc. Best scenario is avoiding a confrontation.
All great advice...mine, grow a thicker skin, and be waaaay more tolerant of everyday BS, get your hands on anything written by Massad Ayoob and read it twice. Conceal, conceal, conceal. Know the laws, to the letter, practice, be safe, congrats!
Keep your weapon concealed to the extent that nobody would ever suspect you are carrying. NEVER tell anyone you are armed, unless you are making a 911 call, NEVER convey an impression that you are looking for a fight. You may have to back away from a confrontation in order to keep from escalating it into a really bad situation. Sometimes you will look timid by walking away from an adversary, but that's better than facing a grand jury over an unnecessary shooting. But at the same time, learn to recognize the once-in-a-lifetime occasion when your weapon is unavoidably needed, and don't let hesitation cost you your life.

10 Food Preservation Ideas to Keep Eating Summer Produce All Year-Round
Freeze, dry and can: food preservation ideas to ensure you have the taste of summer all year long.
As the warm days wane, it's easy to start mourning the loss of summer food. While the thought of root vegetable dishes might feel cozy now, you know that there's going to be a time of complete and utter food boredom when all you want is to stuff yourself with blackberries. Fortunately, we live in the modern era of freezers and ovens, and storing some of summer's bounty is easier than you might think.

Best Compact Stereos
The best compact stereos are stereos that you can smartly position and display in areas that your huge, full-size stereo cannot. While not being as powerful in sound level as their bigger cousins, the best compact stereos can be placed nearly anywhere: on a bookshelf, on your desk, in the garage, by your bedside and anywhere else where you have just a little bit of spare room. The biggest and most well-known brands make all sorts of compact stereos.
- Philips MC235B Flat Wall Mountable Micro Shelf System. This Philips compact stereo makes the number one spot on the best compact stereo list because it has a flat design that makes it wall mountable, almost like an HDTV! When was the last time that your compact stereo could do that? With its ability to play CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs, this compact stereo is one that does more than an average stereo.
- Sony CMT-LX20i 10W RMS Total Power Output Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System. This compact stereo from Sony deserves to be on this best-of list because it is made for your iPod! It allows you to play all your stored music on your iPod by simply allowing for you to plug it into its integrated dock. So load up your iPod with a thousand songs, plug it into this Sony compact stereo, and then rock out like it's the second coming of Slayer.
- Panasonic SC-HC20 Compact Stereo System. The Panasonic SC-HC20 Compact Stereo System is a compact stereo that deserves the number three spot because it comes with advanced bamboo cone speakers. These babies let it create a more dynamic and crystal-clear sound than ever before.

Is LTO Tape On Its Way Out?
Re:Shyeah, right. (284 comments)
I disagree.
We used to use LTO, and it was OK for a while, but we switched to using removable hard drives and rsync a long time ago and haven't regretted it one bit.
We're every bit as paranoid as the next guy (there *might* be some more paranoid, but not many).
We've pulled 10 year old hard drives off the shelf before and recovered things no problem. Our rotation won't ever require us to actually do that, but we have tested it a number of times and things worked great.
What we do though, is periodically update our archived copies to newer media when we update our removable drives.. Often times, this allows us to merge old archive media onto fewer drives saving us a lot of space in the long run. We do have multiple copies, including 3 sets that are permanently online in different locations, and a number of offline sets.. As our backups age, we reduce the number of copies we keep offline, but never go below 3 offline copies of any given data.
The real reason that this is fantastic though, isn't that it backs up so much faster (it does, because after a drive has rsync'd once, there usually aren't many changed files compared to the bulk of the rest of the data). The real reason that this is fantastic isn't because we save space and reduce our need to have old hardware with SCSI interfaces etc (it does though). The real reason this is fantastic isn't because when you take older/smaller drives out of the loop, you can actually repurpose them (you can though.. what are you going to do with a bunch of left-over too small LTO tapes).
The real reason that this is fantastic, is that in the event of a catastrophe, you can get things up and running very quickly. If you're really in a panic, you can boot off of the drive that is that backup disk because we add an OS to them when we prep the drives. You just need any old POS PC with SATA on it and a copy of the file used for decryption, and you can be up and running in minutes. Even for the lighter weight emergencies random access to your data is still quite priceless. You can go directly to the file you need, or even multiple versions of it, instead of waiting for tape media to scan.
In short, yes. LTO is dead whether it knows it yet or not.

How has the supply been at your local WalMarts lately? Found boxes of .357 and .38 Remington today! Haven't seen either caliber around for over a year. Plenty of other stuff showing up lately, but the first time for these two calibers. By the way, that WalMart is now out of .357.....

The local wal marts are actually stocking ammo now. You can get darn near anything you want except the calibers I shoot....go figure. 45 auto and 38 special is impossible to find, 357 a close second. 9mm, 40, 44, 22, 25acp can be had all day long.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
You bought them completely out of .38 & .357-you dog! J/K I probably would have done the same thing.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
I was just noticing the same thing, our local Walmart has a good stock of ammo. But....no .45ACP.
Mostly everything is back regularly except for 45 and 223. Prices are still a little high for my tastes. ($16 for 50 rd 9mm WWB)
My wal-mart was actually starting to stock cci stingers and 9mm and everything else again and then they started renovating so they have a tiny case with a tiny selection of ammo now...and it's taking them a veeeery long time to renovate the place.
The Wal-Marts here do have a good selection of popular pistol and rifle ammo. No .45ACP or .45LC though. But they do have plenty of 45 Hornady XTP bullets for my reloading habit, at a very reasonable price too, this makes me happy. They also carry the Federal .410 Handgun 000 personal defense ammo, which I use in my Judge, this also makes me happy.
God and guns make this country strong.
Most stores have good stocks of everything now. At least for a few days following a delivery.
I noticed the other day when I bought a box of .45, that the WalMart ammo case was pretty full compared to the past. Plenty to choose from except for .357sig.

Starting next year, children in Briarwood will finally have a chance to play officially sanctioned Little League baseball.
The Jamaica Estates-Holliswood Little League, long a youth athletics staple in Central Queens, is expanding, and will forthwith be known as the Jamaica Estates-Holliswood-Briarwood Little League.
At a press conference at P.S. 117 in Briarwood on Friday, May 15, State Assemblyman Rory Lancman (D-Fresh Meadows) joined local community, Little League and school leaders, along with numerous young ballplayers to announce the expansion.
"This is a great opportunity for Briarwood children to hone their baseball skills on the field and learn about good sportsmanship and team work — values that they will carry off the field the rest of their lives," Lancman said, after opening the press conference with a spirited rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
Among the values learned in youth sports, he said, were "fair play" and how to "win magnanimously and lose graciously."
In anticipation of next year's season, Lancman also announced an upcoming, free baseball clinic for Briarwood children, sponsored by his office, to be held June 21, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at St. John's University Baseball Field. (Children 5-13-years-old are eligible; the clinic is open to the first 100 children to register; more information: 718-670-7128.)
Seymour Schwartz, president of the Briarwood Community Association, which is co-sponsoring the clinic, said it was a "great way to introduce Briarwood kids to the wonderful world of baseball."
Schwartz noted that it was not enough for children to watch television and spend time on the Internet. "It's just as important to stretch your mind and build your body."
Frank Connolly-Weinert, member of the board of directors for the Little League, asked the young ballplayers present how many of them had seen Major Leaguers David Wright, Jose Reyes, Derek Jeter or Johan Santana in action. Hands were raised excitedly.
"Were they always as big as they are now?" Connolly-Weinert asked. "At some point, they were little. … You may be the next Jose Reyes. How do you do that? You get out on the field and play."
Assistant Principal Dr. Barbara Kendall, of J.H.S. 217, located just across the street from P.S. 117, supported the effort. "The social skills you develop on the fields are important when working together inside the classroom," she said.
Lancman announced that his office would be sending registration schedules to Briarwood parents this fall. Parents will at that point be able to register their children for the spring of 2009.
Once the season begins, games will be held at the cluster of ball fields located at 73rd Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard, in Cunningham Park, in Fresh Meadows.

Stuffed StrawberriesWOW....Fabulous! I served these at a dinner party and my guests could not get enough. I did add 2 extra tbs of confectioners sugar and used almond extract. After a few times of using a knife to make a hole in the berries, I decided to use the small end of a melon ball scoop and it worked perfectly.

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno PoppersAlways a big hit! I have cooked them on the grill and in the oven, both are great. At different times I have added sausage and have added shredded cheese. They really are not spicy unless you leave some seeds in them. Fun to make and serve. — 3/8/2012 |
Chicken in Basil Cream (9 pts)Delicious! I seasoned the chicken with salt and onion powder before dipping in panko bread crumbs, also sauted some diced onions in the skillet before adding the broth. Will definately make again. — TheFrenchKitchen 3/8/2012 |
Slow Cooker Carnitas (Pulled Pork)Very tasty! I cooked mine in the crockpot all day while we were gone, pulled apart into chunks and browned in oven. I didn't have a fresh orange so I replaced some of the broth with orange juice. I think it would have been even better with the orange zest. Will definately make again. — Firebyrd 3/2/2012 |
Italian Sausage Skillet SlopGreat recipie! I added one chopped jalapeno, a little red wine and a touch of cream to thicken. My husband was eating out of the pot before the noodles were done. Btw, i doubled the sauce and froze in Ziplocs for those busy nights! Thx for the recipie, a definate keeper. — swibirun 2/18/2012 |
