A beautiful, fall salad of thinly shaved persimmon, topped with a salad of bitter greens, shaved fennel, and fresh herbs with a thick meyer lemon vinaigrette and toasted pistachios. What you can't see is the cashew cheese "chevre" under the greens. A perfect start to a vegan Thanksgiving....
Today's cooking class at Millennium, San Francisco's premiere vegan restaurant, with Chef Eric Tucker, had an appropriate fall focus on comfort, along with California freshness.
Potatoes are a classic comfort and we elevated them in these perogies with a filling of potatoes, truffle, and cashew cream, served with a dijon-horseradish cream:
These thick cut potatoes fries were transformed by smoking:
Brussels Sprouts blanched then sauteed with smoked tofu were incredible:
A twist of vegetable-fried rice, this version with kimchee:
Grilled tempeh with quince-braised cabbage:
For the gluten-free, a truffle-potato cake subbed for the perogi (we added garbanzo flour to the potato filling and dusted with a combination of rice flour and a gluten-free flour mix from Red Mill), pan-fried, then baked:
Dessert was a blondie-crusted pear torte with cashew pastry cream and a failed whipped cashew cream became the most amazing cashew ice cream spiked with orange and rum:
Many thanks to Eric and Sam for another great class.
A fabulous group of cooks and food enthusiasts today - cheers!

Tomato & Cheddar Cheese Pie
We're holding on to summer this Labor Day and celebrating with a beautiful Tomato & Cheddar Cheese Pie, with some squash blossoms on top for added wow!
I used my standard quiche custard of 2 eggs, 1 egg yolk, and half-and-half, enough to make 1 1/2 cups of custard, beaten. I grated sharp cheddar cheese on the frozen pie crust and topped it with thinly sliced zucchini, sauteed with butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Added a little crumbled goat cheese (use feta if you're not a fan). Sliced some amazing heirloom tomatoes and placed them on top, salt and fresh ground pepper, then topped with 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar. Poured the custard on top and added a few torn orange zucchini blossoms on top and baked at 350 for 35 minutes. Perfect with a nice green salad and vinaigrette.
Happy Labor Day!

Gluten-Free Squash Blossom Quiche
Tonight, I made this quiche with Whole Foods Gluten-Free frozen crust.
So much better than the local store's regular frozen crust. I was stunned! I had bought these crusts as an experiment, but always thought of them as second tier. Mistake! They are delicious!
This baby had grated sharp cheddar on the frozen crust, a thinly sliced zucchini, a few diced cherry tomatoes, a little spinach sauteed with butter, minced garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper, a little chopped cilantro, a little chopped goat cheese, and some lovely squash blossoms added to the top of the custard to make it especially pretty. Baked in the oven for 35 mins at 375. Spectacular!

Zucchini & Spinach Quiche
Quiche is a very easy dish to prepare and the ideal make-ahead main for picnics, potlucks, and late summertime dinners. With a basic winning custard (2 eggs, 1 egg yolk, 1 1/2 cups half-and-half, salt and pepper, beaten), this recipe adapts to endless varieties of vegetables, cheeses, and herbs.
This zucchini & spinach version was simply very thinly sliced zucchini sauteed with a little butter and garlic. Added some chopped spinach at the end of the saute. I used a pre-made crust, l grated cheddar cheese onto the bottom of the crust and topped it with the sauteed vegetables. Added a little chopped cilantro to the custard and poured that over the vegetables. Topped with some more grated cheddar and grated parmesan, and baked for 35 mins at 375 F degrees. Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy this homemade gem with salad or steamed/sauteed vegetables. Enjoy!

June 2014 Millennium Cooking Class
Oatmeal-Zucchini-Raisin cookie with creamy avocado ice cream and peaches marinated in rose geranium syrup!
Must be another fab cooking class at Millennium, San Francisco's premiere vegan restaurant!
Why, yes, there's Eric now showing us how to make those incredible deep-fried mushrooms that no one can resist from Millennium's appetizer menu:

Sadly, I lost almost all of my 62 photos from the class to the ether - the strangest camera-computer download loss ever. Many thanks to my classmate, Audrey Nickel, for sharing some of her shots with me.
While it's hard to beat that delicious cookie ice-cream sandwich combination, my favorite recipe this time around was the Asian Style Shredded Summer Salad with Kaffir Lime-Date Dressing:

For our second meal, we made papusas with masa and corn, topped with a delicious green salsa. The papusas were filled with a tempeh picadillo and we enjoyed both pan-fried and deep-fried versions.
Many thanks, as always, to Eric, Ann, and Alison for all the hard work they put into making these classes such a cool experience. Thanks also to Assistant Sam.
OMG! Class 26!

Bite-sized Bakewell Tarts
Apparently, there is a fair amount of controversy surrounding the recipe for Bakewell tart. Those interested in it's historical origins will enjoy Ivan Day's "Some Early Bakewell Pudding Recipes" and for a comparison of recipe components, I enjoyed Felicity Cloake's piece in the Guardian (I used her frangipane recipe here). For me, however, Bakewell tart is the one my Gran lovingly made for Sunday lunch. And the taste (if not the form) of these bite-sized Bakewells took me back to those sunny and rainy Sunday afternoon visits of childhood, like a Proustian madelaine.
Of course, it started with those incredibly simple jam tarts from last weekend, which reminded me of my Gran's Bakewell tart, and inspired this little baking jaunt down memory lane. The extra work to make the super light frangipane (the cakey top part of these tarts made with ground almonds) is undeniably worthwhile. The perfect combination of crisp pastry, sweet jam, and light cake will have you closing your eyes to savor every bite. For the ultimate indulgence, serve with heavy cream.
Bite-sized Bakewell Tarts:
8 oz flour
4 oz butter (I used salted)
4-5 TBS water
Strawberry jam (or raspberry or apricot)
4 oz butter (slightly softened - I used salted)
4 oz sugar
2 eggs
4 oz almond flour/meal (blanched, ground almonds - I used Bob's Red Mill brand)
1 oz flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
zest of 1 lemon
Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees.
Sieve 8 oz plain flour into a large bowl and cut 4 oz butter, straight from the fridge, into little cubes. Toss the butter cubes into the flour and use your finger tips to rub the butter into the flour, breaking down the butter with the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add 4 TBS cold water and press into a dough, adding an additional 1 TBS water (or more if needed) to bring the dough together. Press dough into a flat round, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
While the pastry dough is chilling, make the frangipane. With a mixer, cream together the slightly softened butter and sugar. Add the 2 eggs and beat until well combined. Add the almond flour, flour, and baking powder and beat until well combined. Stir in the lemon zest.
Lightly grease the cups of a mini muffin tin (24 count). On a floured board, roll out the pastry dough thinly (about 1/8"). Using a fluted 3" round cutter, cut out 24 rounds and press gently into the mini muffin cups. Cover the bottom of each pastry cup with jam and cover the jam with the frangipane, almost to the top of the pastry cup. Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 25 minutes, until the tops of the Bakewells are a warm light brown. Enjoy with a nice cup of tea!

Jam Tarts
Inspired by a rainy weekend, these jam tarts - actually mini jam tarts - are so easy to make, I don't know why I don't make them all the time. It's always nice to have something sweet and homemade!
I thought about being lazy and buying one of those pre-made pie crusts until I looked at the ingredients - so many chemicals. This pastry recipe is just flour, butter and water. I used a variety of jams: apricot, black currant, strawberry-rhubarb, and plum. Apricot seems to be the favorite.
Mini Jam Tarts
8 oz flour
4 oz butter, cold (I used salted)
4-5 TBS water
Jams - select your favorites!
Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Wash and dry your hands!
Put the flour in a large bowl and cut the butter into tiny cubes. Break up the cubes and toss into the flour. Using your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it looks like bread crumbs. Add the water a tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together into a ball with no crumbs at the bottom. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Flour a board and roll our your pastry to about 1/4 " thickness. Using a fluted 3" round cutter, cut out circles of dough and press them lightly into the muffin pan. Fill 1/3 -1/2 full with the jam(s) of your choice. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges are just starting to color. Do not try to remove the jam tarts from the pan until they are well cooled. The jam will be very hot and liquid when you take them out and will burn your mouth or fingers if you eat or handle them too soon.

So, party people!!!! This is your life, are you who you want to be?????
Well, get CRACKIN'!!!!
Okay, I'm kidding.
But hey, this is the happiest I've been in a long time... and oddly, I don't think I should be. I'm happy that I'm happy, but it's just... I happened to have told a preson who lives a few hundred miles away that I like him. And he's younger than me. By like 3 and a half years. And there was doubt expressed that it could work out. (My logical brain agrees, but I'm about to put that half in a jar of gasoline. And toss in a lit match for good measure.) But if my memory serves me right--and it hasn't failed me much before--my feelings were mirrored...but I don't really remember, y'see, cause I was still a tad stressed since I've NEVER before told a person I liked them while talking on the phone. It's always been letters. Safer that way. Gives them time to mull it over before they choose to throttle me, or get someone bigger and stronger to do so.
But yeah, anyway. I. Can't. Stop. Singing. Stupid. Little. Songs!
I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there
I'll know dadadadadadum
badadum badadum dadada..........
Thats me!i sing constandly, even like for dumb stuff i dont no im doing like ill be singing a song adn somthing will bug me like about my sweater and ill just start singing somthing like "My sweaters annoying" and i dont even no it. its a stupid habbit.
Buts thats good being happy is good sides it good when went thru it!Yeah good 4 u.
im sry im off 2nite!XD
I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?

True Liberal de Blasio Spells Death for Corporate Tax Breaks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- New York mayoral frontrunner Bill de Blasio wants to end tax incentives for big corporations that want to do business in the city, and my only question is: What took so long?
Multinationals including Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report) Ernst & Young, NASDAQ OMX Group (NDAQ)and MetLife (MET - Get Report) have benefited from tax breaks that have tripled to $3 billion per year during the Bloomberg administration, according to the Financial Times, citing data from the Fiscal Policy Institute.
But those corporate subsidies are "a very suspect approach that hasn't yielded the kind of results the taxpayer deserves," De Blasio told the newspaper.
That's putting it mildly.
The fact is that companies need to be in major cities, because they can't attract the kind of young, childless, creative, work-around-the-clock people they want to hire if they are in a lifeless suburb. No one likes tax breaks better than Amazon (AMZN - Get Report), but it didn't even try to get them when it spoke to Seattle city officials about building offices that will double its presence in that city, according to The New York Times. Why? Maybe because officials in that city knew Jeff Bezos wasn't about to join Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) out in the suburbs. It's not a coincidence that Microsoft, which trades at less than 11 times forward earnings and has a reputation as one of the dullest companies in the tech sector is in Seattle's suburbs and Amazon, which trades at more than 110 times forward earnings and is the envy of nearly every other company in the Fortune 500, is in the city's center. Or look at Motorola Solutions (MSI), which "built a huge campus outside of Chicago 30 years ago, and now it's almost two-thirds empty and they're renting space downtown because they can't get people to come out there," real estate mogul Sam Zell explained to The Atlantic Monthly in its latest issue. Goldman will still move as many back office jobs to Salt Lake City as it can, but New York will always be its U.S. headquarters. Why? Because there are easily 10 different city blocks in New York that have more world class cultural institutions than all of Salt Lake City. When they occasionally have time off, Goldman employees like to visit them. And their executives like to attend fundraising events honoring them. Could London potentially steal some of Goldman's business from New York? It seems unlikely. How much of that $3 billion a year in New York's annual corporate tax breaks goes to Goldman? Three hundred million seems high. In other words, its a pittance to Goldman. Its not enough to drive any major business decisions. If tax breaks were the answer to successful governance, New York would be emptying out while everyone moved to the U.S. Virgin Islands. New York has accomplished some great things during Michael Bloomberg's administration, but fears de Blasio will take the city back to the crime-ridden, fiscally disastrous days of the 1970s are most likely irrational. New York's politicians have been sucking up to corporate interests for so long its gotten to be a reflex more than a policy decision. It's past time to move things in the other direction. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow @dan_freedCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

What are some similarities between corporate farms and mixed-crop farms?

What are some similarities between corporate farms and mixed-crop farms?
This Question is Closed
- 2 years ago
Best ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.3Mixed farming refers to simultaneous activities involving both crop and animals. The main purpose of a mixed farming system is to reduce external inputs (such as fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and fuel) by obtaining the farm inputs from within the farm instead of outside the farm. Within-farm inputs are obtained by recycling or reusing all farm wastes, so one activity of the farm supports another farm activity, which in turn supports another farm activity. In other words, every component (activity) in the farm supports one another. For example, a mixed farming system may have both fish and vegetables. The water from the fish pond is given to the vegetables (for water and nutrients, where the latter comes from fish wastes), and some of the vegetables are given to the fish as feed. This reduces external inputs. A more diversified and complex mixed farming system may have fodder trees (to feed the livestock), animals (to provide fertilizers from manure and graze on weeds), and even a biodigester (to provide fuel from farm wastes). This creates a more closed, self sufficient system. There is actually no "official" term "corporate farming", unlike the term "mixed farming". Corporate farming would mean a farm (or farms) that is run by a large corporation (instead of by a family or by a collective). This would also mean the corporate farming activities are typically large scale and intensive, where profit, efficiency, and productivity are heavily emphasized. Mixed farming systems are typically run by families and in developing countries. A good example of a very successful mixed farming system is the CIPAV system (from Columbia) which is endorsed by FAO.

Best ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.3If a farm is incorporated it is "corporate" even if only 1 family owns it. If a corporation does mixed crop farming, then it is doing "mixed crop farming". Mixed crop farming has nothing to do with the ownership of the farm.

Ready to Celebrate World IPv6 Day? We Are.
For all of those content, enterprise, and network companies that haven't made the transition yet to IPv6, this one's for you. The Internet Society (ISOC) is hosting a World IPv6 Day on June 8th that includes the launch of a 24-hour global IPv6 trial. Participants will enable IPv6 on their main services during the day, testing industry readiness and raising awareness of the migration that must take place to the new Internet Protocol.
We are happy to participate in World IPv6 Day, and enthusiastic about spreading the word. Our content delivery services at Limelight Networks have been fully IPv6-enabled since 2009, and we understand the importance of moving the rest of the industry further along in the transition. Major content customers like Netflix are already relying on us for IPv6 migrations. In our role as a content delivery service provider, we are prepared to support many, many more companies needing IPv6-compliant service.
From today's ISOC press release, here's what our Director of Global Network Architecture Tom Coffeen had to say:

Good Comics at the Comic Shop November 6
- Posted by Johanna on November 6, 2013 at 8:08 am
- Category: Shopping Guide
Today, there are a number of great releases scheduled to appear at your local comic shop. Here I'm highlighting some notable titles worth paying attention to.
Look Straight Ahead (Alternative Comics, $19.95) is an impressive exploration of mental illness in the life of an artist. The question of whether treating such a condition might affect one's creativity is meaningful and often unanswerable, but author Elaine Will uses the comic medium in unique fashion to indicate her protagonist's hallucinations and other struggles.
Rick Geary's newest installment in his Treasury Of 20th Century Murder is one of the best yet. Madison Square Tragedy: The Murder of Stanford White (NBM, $15.99) portrays an hundred-year-old scandal involving a showgirl and a public shooting in a way that makes it fresh and relevant today.
Fred Chao brings Johnny Hiro back in a second volume, The Skills to Pay the Bills (Tor Books, $17.99). I enjoyed the first book immensely, and I'm looking forward to more creative cartooning and imaginative adventure in an urban environment. I'll be reviewing this soon.
Grand master Walt Simonson's Judas Coin (DC Comics, $14.99) is now available in paperback. This collection of stories wanders through DC history with notable guest-stars and an impressive display of artistic flexibility, as different styles illustrate different eras, all linked by a piece of Judas silver.
The best superhero comic coming out today finally has a hardcover collection. Hawkeye Volume 1 (Marvel Comics, $34.99) reprints issues 1-11 of the outstandingly written and designed series by Matt Fraction, David Aja, and others. It's a fresh take on heroics with a really great character in Kate Bishop (and Clint Barton's not bad, either). The two heroes contrast generationally and give each other someone to play off of. The visual portrayal is different and modern, telling stories efficiently and attractively. Since the material's already been released in two softcover volumes, this collection seems aimed more at existing fans, but the comics are worth re-reading enough to make a hardcover a good idea.
Just in time for the holidays, Viz releases a Bakuman Complete Box Set ($159.99) that contains all 20 volumes of the manga series. Bakuman is the story of two aspiring manga creators, an artist and a writer, who navigate the business of making comics with plenty of up, downs, and emotional struggles. The characters can be either flat or exaggerated, but the tips included about how the manga industry works are fascinating.
I've been enjoyed reading Ghosted, a comic series about a con man investigating a haunted mansion by Joshua Williamson and Goran Sudzuka. The characterization is sharp and plot twists surprising. Issue #5 (Image Comics, $2.99), out this week, concludes the first arc. If you haven't yet tried it, there's a collection of #1-5 coming next month at a bargain price.
