The new school year's starting really soon... And what i wanna know is how do I, or how did you, come out to people at your school? I mean... people have always assumed i'm straight, but it's sucha big group of people. I'm going to be more open about it of course, and i'm not like, oging to announce it (obviously :P) So i was just kind of wondering what you guys did to come out at school (if you h
I am an avid reader of paper books; even in this age of hyper-media.
To me, there is something about a good book in my hands that can not be beat.

* Beware that this entry is lengthy but about something I deeply care about
There's something to be said about opening up and old house. Rooms at once dark and lifeless are resuscitated when the light and life giving shutters are ajar. The house reawakens and life renters its chambers, furniture, and walls as if the building itself was taking a breath after nearly suffocating.
This summer I have been very lucky, as I was able to find a job working for a historical organization. One of the tasks that I responsible for is opening up an old house that they preserve and protect. Built prior to industrialization and mass production all the pieces within are one-of-a-kind. Walls have stuccowork, the carved wood of mahogany furniture contains curls and flourishes of every kind and tea sets and table settings remain perpetually in service. It's as if the house was frozen in time, as aif ll the wars and economic depressions that have happened since its construction were mere annoyaces. It's interesting to be in the middle of the modern world yet have this old relic still intact and in use; almost a little unsettling.
Hi kids,
I thought I'd post and let you all know about the crazy, fun and debaucherous (at times) activites that I've been up to lately. From family to meeting Adrian to productive things to sex, I think I've got it all covered this week. Read on....
So, there's been a lot of negativity and name calling lately. I just deleted an account (without even a warning) that used another user's avatar and clearly was there to provoke and make fun of them. Hopefully that doesn't have to be a regular occurrence, as it is obviously a new phenomenon here.
The basic rules here are that we are here to support each other and, if unable to do that, to learn what you will have to learn in the offline world: to ignore people who bother you. No one on this site is wrong, they just think differently than you.
I felt like a moron for not having done this before, but I merged an upstream fix for the private message module, and your inbox will now show how many messages you have left.
Hi. I'm really, really mad and I thought you guys might appreciate it.
This is the letter that I'm mailing them. It pretty much says it all.
To whom it may concern:
Upon looking up the word "love
On the suggestions thread over in the support forum, jeff mentioned the 2nd incarnation of Oasis, from 2001 - 2002 (I think), that eventually died a bloody death and destroyed Oasis and everyone's writings. I was part of that era, and it seems that a lot of people from the old site never returned after that, which is a shame, because we had a lot of fun. One of our running jokes which was sadly lost - and which I hope to resurrect - was Fabulon. I don't know how well Fabulon will work in a community that didn't create it, but it's worth a shot.
I'd like to start a thread for features that users here would suggest be added to a future version of Oasis or Drupal.
I have been wondering if there are any movies that anyone would recommend. They have to be lgbt, which means they have to either have homosexual, bisexual, or transgender themes.
Pop me a line in case any of you guys want to hook up. (Jazzer, this means you).
Mail me at oasismag at daemon dot co dot za.
Hmm, this brings a new focus to the war that is going on. In this picture of their final moments, two teenage boys - one under 18 - were publicly hanged by the Islamo-fascist regime in Iran yesterday for being gay.
Good fodder for discussion about other implications of what we are fighting the war for, as well as some perspective on how trivial some of our big issues really are in this and other more tolerant countries.
For the first part of my "When Jesus Goes To Far" posting(s), I am going to discuss Christian Based Organizations that "say" they can cure homosexuality (which is laugh, becaue being gay is so much fun, espially when you get to live in places where its a constant Gay Pride Parade (ie East Village of NYC!!!).
I am gonna talk about hte big one mostly today, I think alot of people have heard of its (deep breath) Exodus International. (exodus being when the jews escaped egpyt with moses, on a side note, any idea when the jewish messiah is gonna show up, its been like 3000 years)...
1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.
2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.
MEANWHILE,he was getting increasingly sleepy as a retarded girl exiting some bus broke down into a panic attack in the middle of the parking lot, a little girl was playing on that filthy floor of the supermarket, and they kept playing that music - that goddamned music - again and again and again and again and again as if they couldn't get enough of hearing that same song and he began to feel surer and surer that repetition was a large part of madness.
I just came out to my mom. By accident. I was talking to her while I was checking my email and all that, and I go to myspace. She's never really seen a site like that before so she asks if she can see my page on there. I figure sure, what's on there that she can't or shouldn't see? As it turns out, I forgot about that little "Orientation: Not Sure" thing that's on there... and of course that's the first thing that she notices.
"Not sure? What does that mean?"
"Uh... uh... its the... default thing? And I haven't changed it, and.."
"You haven't changed it? Don't give me that. Are you really not sure?"
"Look, I..."
She looks me in the eyes.
"You're gay? Bi?"
"There's room for everybody in the closet of the Lord"
I had never thought something like this would happen at my high school, but it did. Today I found out that one of the most influential, best -liked teachers will not be returning next year due to the fact that he was made to feel uncomfortable in the workplace because of his sexuality.
Mr. Henry (fictitious name) has run the local GSA club in my high school for four years and has made a huge impact in the community changing the attitudes of students, parents, and teachers. He is an openly gay teacher and since day 1 he has been experiencing difficulty at being both out and still receiving the acceptance of his bosses, and the school system. Following his employment, his being open about his sexuality caused an immediately uproar from parents many of whom wanted to see him fired for fear that their children be "turned gay.
I'm Michael Ditto, one of the original contributing writers to Oasis, and was its editor for a short time while Jeff Walsh moved from Wilkes-Barre to San Franqueerland.
I check in with the site often, and it makes me proud to see how much it has grown over the years. This is the first time I have posted anything in over five years (maybe close to 10 years!). I think it's that important.
Down in Memphis, Tennessee resides a Christian re-education camp called Love in Action, which purports to convert gay people into straight people. The program is many years old, but up until a couple of years ago it only served adults. Now they have a program called Refuge, which is a camp for teens, where parents can and do send kids against their will. The camp uses cruel, humiliating, dehumanizing tactics, as well as promises of love and affection and enlightenment that make it look more like forced indoctrination into a cult than any kind of summer camp.
You can learn about it here (Start from the bottom).
A local group of enterprising teens has been protesting outside of Love in Action every single day since the camp started. If you would like to participate, visit the site of Queer Action Coalition to find out how you can help.
If you have experience with this or any other ex-gay program, please contact me. I would like to interview you for a larger story I am doing. You can remain anonymous if you wish. You can contact me at my web site, and you can also find more information about the controversy there.
Hugs to you all,
Mike Ditto

[9.0] "Terry Funk remains one of the more important figures in wrestling, helping grow the sport in both North America and Japan (along with his brother, Dory Funk, Jr. ) A progenitor of modern day hardcore wrestling, Funk has wrestled more retirement matches than some have had actual matches. He was a NWA and ECW Heavyweight Champion, in addition to WWE Tag Team Champion with his long-time rival/friend Mick Foley."

PHILLYWALT wrote on 01.11.2013:
[10.0] "What a great career. Its amazing that a 15 month reign as THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, is an overlooked part of his resume. Worldwide Superstar, the re-invented himself into a hardcore legend. Of course you also have to consider the training credential he also has, maybe not the same as his brother but impressive inits own right. A legend is many ways."
Leone wrote on 02.04.2013:
[10.0] "Few wrestlers in the history of the industry have ever evolved as an in-ring performer like Terry Funk. Some might even say that Funk has 3 different primes, consisting of eras and certain years. His 1st prime was from his debut, up until his first retirement in 1981, he was a long-reigning NWA champion, well known for his strong technical wrestling, storytelling and brawling. He eventually returned, and dawned a more texas outlaw-like gimmick. It was during this time he became known for his strong promos, stronger storytelling, brawling and showmanship. At the age of 44/45 in 1989, Terry Funk was in the best shape of his career, and had easily 1 of the best years, in terms of promo and match quality of any wrestler ever. It was after this time that Terry began to evolve again, and reached another prime by 1997, at 52/53, this time he was a brawler, hardcore wrestler and even a high flyer! He worked in the sickest barbed wire match in ECW history while he was their world champion, and took part in Japanese Deathmatches were barbed wire and explosives were the norm. Throughout his career, Terry has wrestled in some of the best quality wrestling matches, the brutalist hardcore matches, cut some of the best promos, had the best title reigns, and trained some of the best wrestlers in the world from the 1980s onwards. There will only be one Terry Funk, and I hope that someday someone will come along with that kind of skill and charisma again."

Deer do not especially like figs but pocket gophers love the roots. To frustrate gophers, sink a wire basket into the planting hole or grow your figs in a container.
Beautiful mascarpone-stuffed figs
My grandfather introduced me to figs when I was about 2 years old, says Linda, the chef. He took me by the hand and we walked out to the giant fig tree in his backyard and ate ripe figs right from the tree.
I have had a love affair with figs ever since that day many years ago.
Some of my favorite fig preparations other than just off the tree are fig preserves and figs sautéed in sugar and lemon, served with honey yogurt, or as an elegant teatime dessert stuffed with sweetened mascarpone, mint, toasted walnuts, and drizzled with honey. Mmm, love.
You can use any kind of fig that you have available. Since figs ripen in different sizes, I have given estimates on how much mint, walnuts, and honey you might need. Add more or less as needed.
For an alternative to a cold dessert, there is the option of baking these beautiful figs for a warm dessert or even breakfast. Enjoy!
Mascarpone Stuffed Figs With Honey, Mint, and Walnuts
1 (8-ounce) container mascarpone cheese
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste
Figs -- as many as the cheese will stuff (depends on size of figs)
1 teaspoon orange-blossom honey per fig
1 teaspoon toasted walnuts per fig (toast for 1 to 2 minutes on a plate in the microwave)
Mint, in a fine chiffonade to sprinkle over figs
Soften the mascarpone cheese enough to mix with the confectioners' sugar.
Cut a cross in the top of each fig. Open them slightly so that you can stuff them with the cheese-sugar mixture using a pastry bag or spoon. After stuffing as many figs as you can use at the moment (see note below), drizzle each fig with honey, add toasted walnuts and sprinkle with the mint. Serve immediately.
Variation: If you would like these warm, leave off the mint and bake them in a preheated 350 degree F. oven until the figs are tender. The mascarpone melts into the softened, honey-sweetened figs and makes a wonderful, aromatic warm dessert or breakfast. Add mint after baking (optional).

I hold a Music and English degree from Hamline University, but that doesn't make me a good teacher. I've played professionally for over 25 years, have taught English as a Second Language, Hockey and Audio Engineering, taught people age 5 to 75, and have taught private music lessons full time in Minneapolis for the past 9 years, but this doesn't make me a good teacher. What makes me a good teacher is that I have an infectious love of music and a passionate commitment to helping people. I do have specialties, like helping singer/songwriters develop their lyrics, arrangements, voice, and performance as well as helping artists get through creativity blocks, stage fright and preparing for studio recording. My experience as a producer, studio musician and audio engineer has allowed me to ...
I am an enthusiastic teacher who loves to help students explore and enjoy the process of singing. Singing and music can boost your confidence and can be an activity that is both challenging and enjoyable. Singing is also personal and I believe it is important to see lessons as a collaboration between teacher and student. I feel i have an affinity for teaching students of all ages who are completely new to singing and want to learn the basics. I am also an active performer with a focus in opera and musical theater. I currently singing with Minnesota Opera and have performed such roles as Suzuki in Madame Butterfly, Alisa in Lucia, Marcellina in Le Nozze di Figaro and the title role in Carmen. I believe that a great teacher has experience they can share with students. I understand the ...
As a professional teaching artist and vocal coach, I have been helping students of all ages and abilities "find their voice" for over 20 years. My goal is simple: to give you singing lessons that will change your life forever. You can build unshakable confidence and have fun while learning techniques professional singers take onto the stage and into the studio. And, you can have a great time doing it! Give one lesson a try and if you're not hooked, I will refund 100% of the lesson cost (in cash) at the end of your first lesson. About my vocal lessons/coaching: Most students come into lessons with the same question: "Am I any good? Is there hope for me?" Well, here's the thing... The vast majority of professional vocalists never went to school for singing! Most professional ...
I began taking piano lessons on a whim in middle school, but it didn't take long before I realized I was completely in love with music. I enjoy playing and teaching many types of music, from classical to rock to hymns and church music. I learned to play by ear at the same time I learned to sight read, and both approaches have helped me to learn and enjoy the music I play. I graduated in December 2010 with a BA in Music Performance from North Central University, here in the Twin Cities. I have been teaching piano lessons for the last 6 years, as well as directing a children's choir. Watching other people learn to play music is one of the greatest rewards I've received. *** Lesson Details *** I believe music has incredible educational value, but I also believe that it should ...

Comcast is the WORST customer service ever!!! Between ripping you off on your bill, the ridiculous wait times, and the incompetent employees. Their business structure is an absolute joke, they give you a "promotion" for 6 months, when the 6 months is up the customer gets fed up and frustrated and calls, they have too many incoming calls to handle and not enough people, so customers get frustrated and yell at the employees. Why not just fix the root of the problem and give a flat rate service fee and stop ripping people off!!!

until there is broadband and better cable tv competition comcast has no motivation to change how they do business. They know people have no choice in most markets unless they want dish and lower speed for internet. Is it ethical? No. Is it legal, sadly, as we know, it is

You know what a trigger is - something on a gun that makes the bullet shoot out. With asthma, a trigger is anything that brings on asthma symptoms, such as coughing, wheezing, and trouble breathing. Triggers can vary from person to person and from season to season. They also can change as a kid grows older. Some common triggers include colds, smoke, cold air, exercise, and anything that causes an allergic reaction, such as dust mites or pollen.

'Duck Dynasty' has been under fire for Phil Robertson's anti-gay comments, ever since his hateful remarks in December 2013. Now, the series' executive producer is finally breaking her silence. Does she stand behind Phil? Keep reading to find out.
Duck Dynasty's Season 6 premiere episode on Wednesday, June 11, was chock full of family-friendly fun, and void of homophobic slurs, but the reality TV show will forever be associated with Phil Robertson's anti-gay beliefs. Can the Robertsons ever bounce back?
'Duck Dynasty' Executive Producer Breaks Silence After Anti-Gay Scandal
Duck Dynasty is a bonafide hit, but its fan base has fallen, since Phil Robertson's shocking, homophobic interview, in which he bashed gay people.
Phil has continued to spread his beliefs, as seen in this recent church sermon, but A&E (the network behind Duck Dynasty) has not fired him — in fact, he was temporarily suspended when the original scandal hit the media, but production was never halted.
It doesn't seem that Phil will be fired anytime soon. Although the network ultimately makes casting calls, the series' executive producer, Deirdre Gurney, is finally breaking her silence.
'Duck Dynasty' Producer Supports Phil Robertson
During a roundtable interview on The Hollywood Reporter's reality roundtable, Deirdre (who does not work for A&E, but rather the production company that creates the show) spoke up, in support of Phil.
Click here to watch the 'Duck Dynasty' producer speak up about Phil's comments.
"I wanted to be able to speak and explain, but we couldn't," Deirdre said, alongside her reality star panel, which included Jeff Probst, Carson Daly and Tim Gunn. "We know our talent. I know Phil Robertson. I know his beliefs. I know how he treats a crew that has several gay people on it and people of different races and people from all different places."
Although Deirdre insists that Phil treats all sorts of people with respect, Tim, who is openly gay, fired back.
"Are you saying he didn't make the comments?" the Project Runway personality asked.
"He made them, but he doesn't deny who he is," the producer responded. "He has beliefs and stands by them. But that isn't how he treats people — it is what he thinks. I think there's a separation between what he thinks and how he thinks people should be treated. I don't think he was saying anything about how people should be treated."
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are Phil's comments any less offensive, just because he doesn't treat gay people poorly or should he still be under fire for making his hateful remarks? Let us know.

I do not agree with everything Phil says or believes. That does not change the fact that his show is good and they have a great family who is very successful. The folks calling him or people that do. Not share all Liberal beliefs "ignorant" or want to protest his show etc. are the closed minded ones. Everyone has a right to their belief. Sad that the party of tolerance has become the party of intolerant!

Hezbollah linked to Burgas bus bombing in Bulgaria
A bus bombing that killed five Israelis and a driver in Bulgaria was most likely the work of Lebanon's Hezbollah militants, Bulgarian officials say.
The attack, in the Black Sea resort of Burgas in July 2012, was carried out by a bomber who died at the scene.
A six-month probe uncovered "obvious links" to Lebanon and Hezbollah, prompting criticism from Israel's prime minister and a top US official.
Israel has always blamed Hezbollah - and Iran - for the bombing.
Iran has steadfastly denied any involvement, while Hezbollah has made no comment.
'Heinous act'Unveiling the results of the six-month inquiry in Sofia on Tuesday, Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said two suspects holding Australian and Canadian passports were directly linked to Hezbollah.
Long before this official report was released by the Bulgarian authorities, Israel had accused Hezbollah (and its principal sponsor, Iran) of being behind the Burgas attack.
Since the July 2012 bombing, Israel and the US have pressed European Union states to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation (denying it access to funding and other financial assets in Europe).
While some, including Britain and the Netherlands, might support such a move, other countries, such as France, oppose it. France counters that Hezbollah is a political and social as well as a militant organisation.
The French argue that proscribing it as an illegal terrorist organisation could destabilise Lebanon and its current coalition government, of which Hezbollah is part.
"We have established that the two were members of the militant wing of Hezbollah," he said.
"There is data showing the financing and connection between Hezbollah and the two suspects."
The pair had lived in Lebanon since 2006 and 2010 respectively, the AFP news agency quoted Mr Tsvetanov as saying.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Bulgarian findings made it clear that Hezbollah was "directly responsible for the heinous act in Burgas".
He said Hezbollah and Iran were "waging a global terror campaign across borders and continents" and urged European nations to "reach the required conclusions regarding the true nature of Hezbollah".
Until now, Europe has refused to follow the US lead and label Hezbollah a terrorist organisation.
The US stopped short of asking Europe to put Hezbollah on its terror list, although Canada did make that call, branding Hezbollah "inhumane".
US counter-terrorism chief John Brennan said the group posed "a real and growing threat not only to Europe, but to the rest of the world".
Europe and the world should seek "to disrupt the group's financing schemes and operational networks in order to prevent future attacks", he added.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the attack and said his country was "ready to co-operate" with Bulgaria, reports said.
'Obvious links'Before publishing its report, Bulgaria had avoided making public any suspicions about who was behind the Burgas attack.
Initial investigations - including the discovery of the bomber's head at the scene of the attack - suggested the strike may have been a suicide bombing.
But officials now believe the device may have been remote-controlled, or accidentally detonated by the bomber.
In The Hague, the director of Europol, which co-ordinates policing across the 27 European Union states, said he backed the Bulgarians' conclusions that Hezbollah was involved.
"From what I've seen... obvious links to Lebanon, from the modus operandi of the terrorist attack, from other intelligence that we see, I think that's a reasonable assumption," Rob Wainwright told the Associated Press.
If Hezbollah's involvement was proven, it would be the group's first successful terror attack in Europe since the mid-1980s, he said.
In the wake of the bombing, Bulgaria's prime minister said there was "no chance" of detecting the group's activities before the attack.
A photofit of the suspected bomber was released, but few details were known about his identity.
But an intensive police probe, with 50 officers deployed to Bulgaria by Europol, now appears to have led investigators to Hezbollah.

The Many Faces of Error Disclosure: A Common Set of Elements and a Definition
Rent the article at a discount

Get AccessAbstract
Patients want to know when errors happen in their care. Professional associations, ethicists, and patient safety experts endorse disclosure of medical error to patients. Surveys of physicians show that they believe harmful errors should be disclosed to patients, yet errors are often not disclosed.
To understand the discrepancy between patients' expectations and physicians' behavior concerning error disclosure.
Design, Setting, and Participants
We conducted focus groups to determine what constitutes disclosure of medical error. Twenty focus groups, 4 at each of 5 academic centers, included 204 hospital administrators, physicians, residents, and nurses.
Qualitative analysis of the focus group transcripts with attention to examples of error disclosure by clinicians and hospital administrators.
Clinicians and administrators considered various forms of communication about errors to be error disclosure. Six elements of disclosure identified from focus group transcripts characterized disclosures ranging from Full disclosure (including admission of a mistake, discussion of the error, and a link from the error to harm) to Partial disclosures, which included deferral, misleading statements, and inadequate information to "connect the dots." Descriptions involving nondisclosure of harmful errors were uncommon.
Error disclosure may mean different things to clinicians than it does to patients. The various forms of communication deemed error disclosure by clinicians may explain the discrepancy between error disclosure beliefs and behaviors. We suggest a definition of error disclosure to inform practical policies and interventions.

@burcidi-- I think the Committee had various different arguments as to why we need to enter the war. I'm not surprised about the arguments that Germany was dangerous and barbaric and that the US needs to defend democracy against them. As far as I know, there was also an an argument that Germany would invade the US and that we needed to enter the war and attack them first.
I think this argument was what convinced most Americans about the war. My grandfather said that they were sincerely worried about a German invasion.
I actually understand why Wilson had to form this Committee and do so much propaganda. Hadn't Widrow Wilson promised that we would not enter the War during his presidential elections? I'm sure many people voted for him for this reason. But circumstances forced us to enter the War and if Wilson didn't convince Americans about it, he would have been seen as a liar.

The Imperfect Myth of the Female Poisoner
- Monday January 28, 2013
There's a popular idea in our culture that poison belongs to the female killer. In the 1945 Sherlock Holmes movie, Pursuit to Algiers, Holmes considers it obvious: "Poison is a woman's weapon." And you hear that same thought echoing down the decades, surfacing, for instance, in George Martin's Game of Thrones in which poison is described, as the preferred weapon of women, craven and eunuchs. But real-world statistics do not bear this idea out.

Pistachios are my favorite nut. I love their vibrant green color, their great crunch, that overt saltiness, and the rhythm of cracking them out of their shells. I don't even mind when I come across an especially stubborn pistachio that refuses to emerge from its shell; that's all part of the fun. Pistachios have more character than your average nut. They're feisty.
Feisty pistachios and tart, red cherries are a perfect pairing in my mind. I love them together – salty and sweet, green and red, crunchy and chewy. I especially adore them together in these buttery scones. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, bake a fresh batch, and serve them warm to be shared with someone special.
Golden buttermilk scones with crunchy pistachios and tart dried cherries. Adapted from Homemade with Love by Jennifer Perillo.
Yields: 8 large scones
Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and zest. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles crumbs. Stir in the pistachios and the cherries.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the egg until combined. Pout into the mixing bowl and stir until the mixture comes together and a crumbly dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and work it gently with your hands until it just holds together (being careful not to overwork the dough or else it will become dense and tough opposed to tender and flaky). Pat the dough into a 1/2 inch thick circle. Using a bench scraper or knife, cut the dough into 8 triangles/wedges.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each scone with heavy cream. Sprinkle each scone liberally with turbinado sugar. Bake the scones for 12 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned on the bottom and golden on top. Perfect served warm.
Weather: 27 degrees, monochromatic and a little dreary. But still always beautiful.
What I'm listening to: Cripple Me, Elenowen
We've been having a string of grey days with intermittent snowfall and occasional slush. The waters of Cook Inlet turn deep and brooding, a charcoal shade of grey. The skies a paler shade, like the coat of a gray wolf. Then the snow appears, giant flakes of the purest white, falling silently as if in slow-motion against the backdrop of grey on grey.
When the weather is like this, I find myself craving a hearty, wholesome bowl of warmth and comfort. Something filling, something nutritious, something that sticks to your ribs and makes you feel safe and satisfied. Thankfully, I had bookmarked just such a soup recipe to use as inspiration in a cookbook I had picked up on a spontaneous trip to the library. This lentil-based, protein-rich soup takes a garlicky turn – which I love – bolstered by Italian sausage, vibrant red Swiss chard, and tomatoes. I served it with a generous amount of grated parmesan cheese and some of my Focaccia with Rosemary & Sea Salt on the side. It makes fantastic leftovers.

A hearty lentil soup with Italian sausage, Swiss chard, and garlic. Adapted from Secrets of the Best Chefs by Adam Roberts.
Yields: Serves 6
In a large pot, like a dutch oven, over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage in a swirl of extra virgin olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and continue to cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes followed by the lentils. Pour in the tomatoes, chicken broth, water, salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer about 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender, stirring often. When the lentils are tender, stir in the red Swiss chard and cook 3-4 minutes more until the chard is just tender.
While the chard is cooking, heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is softened and the oil is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. You don't want the garlic to brown. Remove the soup from the heat, drizzle the olive oil and garlic over top of the soup, and stir it in to combine. Serve with freshly grated parmesan or Romano cheese.
We strolled through downtown San Diego at night, headed for the cozy golden light of the Italian bistro, Operacaffe. We opted for a small table outside, because in January in San Diego you can do things like sit outside for dinner. The twinkle lights were shining and the sounds and smells of the famous Gaslamp Quarter were just occasionally edging their way in.
"The bread is sooooooooo good here," Danae exclaimed, eagerly looking through the window to see if the server would be bringing ours to the table soon. "I can't wait for you to try the bread."
We pored over the menu, deciding together that we would share a rich plate of lobster and artichoke pasta, ordered it, and began talking about things like life and hopes and dreams.
It was then that the bread arrived, much anticipated but not too late – warm cubes of focaccia and a plate of extra virgin olive oil swirled with thick balsamic – the acidic fragrance of the vinegar filling the air and lingering with that unmistakable smell of freshly baked bread. We dug in simultaneously and paused our conversation to linger over it.
"You need to write a recipe for this bread," said Danae between bites. "You should put this on the blog."
Finishing off my focaccia, I flashed a closed-mouthed smile and replied, "Hm. You're right. Maybe I should."
I tried a couple of different base recipes for focaccia before landing on the right one. I needed the texture and the flavor to be just so – the right balance of airy and chewy, golden brown and fragrant, to transport me back to that memorable meal in January. These cubes of focaccia, topped with fresh rosemary and sea salt, become the perfect vehicle for sopping up that good olive oil and dark balsamic. When the bread came piping hot from the oven, I sliced a garlic clove in half and rubbed it all over the bread, finishing it with a slight hint of garlic.

Yields: 1 loaf, serves 6-8
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir and allow it to sit and bloom (foam and bubble), about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, stir together the flour and salt.
Add 1/4 cup of the olive oil to the yeast mixture, then turn the mixer on low and gradually begin adding the flour/salt mixture. When all the flour and salt have been added, turn the mixer up to medium-high and knead the dough for 5 minutes until elastic. If the dough is somewhat sticky, add flour by the tablespoon until it just pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Oil a mixing bowl generously with extra virgin olive oil and transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
Line a jelly roll pan/large sheet pan with parchment paper. Generously oil the bottom of the pan with extra virgin olive oil. Place the dough gently onto the pan and press it out to fit the size of the pan. Make finger indentations all over the top of the dough by pressing firmly into the dough with the tips of your fingers. Return the dough to a warm place and allow to rise another 45 minutes.
Meanwhile preheat the oven to 425 degrees. When the focaccia is done rising, drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil on top of the bread and spread it with your fingers to coat. Sprinkle on the rosemary and sea salt. Bake 20-25 minutes until the bread is golden brown and fragrant. If using the garlic, rub the top of the hot bread with the garlic halves when you just remove it from the oven.
When bread has cooled enough to touch, slice it into cubes and serve it warm with olive oil and balsamic for dipping.
A while back, my sweet and uber-talented blogging friend Karista of Karista's Kitchen was sorting through her cookbook collection and offered to ship some of her gently used favorites to Alaska. Of course, I was quick to jump on her generous and thoughtful offer. Karista and I are friends precisely because we share a deeply-rooted love of beautiful food, thoughtful writing, and memories made at the table. I knew she would select cookbooks from her collection that would speak to my heart. The cookbooks arrived complete with Karista's dog ears on the recipe pages (I love this) and a hand-written note which I keep tucked away inside of one of the books.
One of those cookbooks was Favorite Food at Home by Irish chef Rachel Allen. I enjoy this cookbook because it's warm, welcoming, and unassuming. This delightful Banana Butterscotch Pudding Cake is all of those things, too. My version is only very slightly adapted from the version in Chef Allen's book. It bakes into a tender golden banana cake on top and a gooey butterscotch layer on the bottom. I served mine hot from the oven with a dollop of freshly whipped cream with flecks of vanilla bean.
Golden banana cake with a gooey layer of butterscotch underneath. Adapted from Favorite Food at Home by Rachel Allen.
Yields: Serves 4-6
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, banana, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate.
To make the butterscotch layer, place a small saucepan on the stove on medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and boiling water to the saucepan. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil. Drizzle the butterscotch over the cake batter (it will sink to the bottom as it bakes, creating the gooey butterscotch layer).
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until golden and just set in the middle (the cake will be slightly jiggly, but you want it cooked through). Serve warm with freshly whipped cream.

There are those nights. You know the ones. The nights that come at the end of those days that went every which way but the way you planned. Those long days where everything unraveled and came undone. The days when dinner has fallen off your radar completely and is lost in the abyss of stress, frustration, and tasks left untouched.
Blast you, dinner. Why are you another thing that needs my attention tonight? I can't even deal with you.
But then, you turn on some music. You put a pot of salted water to boil. You hear the sound of butter melting in a skillet, popping and sizzling as it meets up with the extra virgin olive oil. Soon the undeniable smell of garlic and onions fills you up and wafts through the house.
I can do this. I can conquer dinner tonight.
And it might even be quick and painless and therapeutic. Because, after all, a steaming bowl of noodles swimming in a spicy homemade sauce is always a little bit of therapy, isn't it?
Yes, I believe it is.

To make it even more hearty and flavorful, add browned Italian sausage. Adapted from [Food Network|http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/quick-and-easy-roasted-red-pepper-pasta.html].
Yields: 4-6 servings
Set a large pot of well-salted water to boil over high heat. Cook the pasta al dente, according to package directions.
In the meantime, heat the oil and butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook the garlic, onions, and red pepper flakes together until the onions are translucent. Add the roasted red peppers to the pass and too until heated through. Transfer the contents of the pan to a blender along with the chicken broth, salt, and pepper to taste. Whirl until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan and heat through. Stir in the half and half. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes as needed. Stir in half of the fresh basil, reserving the other half for topping each dish.
Drain the pasta. Toss the pasta with the roasted red pepper sauce. Serve the pasta promptly topped with more fresh basil and a generous amount of parmesan shavings (this dish is best with copious amounts of both fresh basil and parmesan).
Just before Christmas, our middle-school-aged neighbor friend, Jace, walked up to me in church with a gleaming smile and handed me a box, carefully wrapped and topped with a bow. Without knowing the contents of the gift, I was already stunned and humbled by the gesture.
Then I opened it.
Inside was a handmade wooden cheeseboard, colorful and beautifully crafted. I had admired a similar one last year that he had made for his mother in his wood shop class at school. I told him I would gladly pay to have one like that in my kitchen. Several months later, and the conversation long forgotten by me, this gift is placed in my hands. He had not forgotten my words and had spent hours and weeks working at school to give this stunning cheeseboard to me, with a deep sense of pride written all over his face, in time for Christmas.
The tears welled up. I could hardly believe it.
I've been thinking about gifts made of wood – the way they're carefully and painstakingly crafted, the way they're steady and sure and lasting. Jace's cheeseboard sits on display in my kitchen and will be used often in food styling and photographs, because that beautiful thing carries with it the weight of so much more than pieces of wood – but the weight of hard work, the significance of an entirely unexpected gift, the force of memories and friendship and shared history.
I regard recipes much the same way: deliberately crafted, built on moments and relationships, long-lasting, steady and sure. The very best recipes leave a legacy, become heirlooms, to be prized and revisited and passed on again and again. The very best recipes feel like coming home. They remind us of moments passed while nourishing our present. The very best recipes are like an unexpected gift.

My very favorite salads, the ones I make the most often, are ones that include combinations of fruit and nuts and cheese. This stunning spinach salad topped with ripe pears, pecans, pomegranate arils, and bleu cheese is a keeper. A simple dressing of good balsamic and extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper is all you need to make this salad shine. If you'd like to add some protein to make this spinach salad more substantial, smoky crumbled bacon would be a winning addition.
A vibrant spinach salad topped with ripe pears, toasted pecans, juicy pomegranate arils, and bleu cheese.
Yields: Serves 2
Divide the spinach onto two salad plates.
Top each salad with half of the pear slices, half of the pomegranate arils, half of the bleu cheese, and half of the pecans.
Season with salt and pepper to taste,
Drizzle with good balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
Serve promptly.
Eggs were the standout ingredient of 2014, featured twice in the top 5. Incidentally (or perhaps not?), I can safely say that I consumed more eggs this past year than ever before in my life. Eggs are one of the most reliable and versatile proteins out there – quick-cooking, soul-satisfying, family-friendly, and phenomenally tasty for any meal of the day. I love me some eggs, folks. And I'm delighted to say, that according to this list, so do you. Also popular were recipes featuring quinoa, avocado, and a spicy kick. You're my kind of people alright.

Thank you, 2014, for every yummy thing you brought to the table. And wishing you, my readers, a delicious New Year.
]]>The big news around here is that our family is moving into a new home just down the road a ways from where we currently live. While I am excited about this new chapter – having friends as neighbors on all sides and enjoying a priceless view of Cook Inlet and the Mt. Redoubt volcano for starters – I will be somewhat sad to see our current house go. We have lived in this house longer than any other; it has been our only Alaska home and it has been my favorite house yet. We have countless memories here of all the ways that our Alaska life has taken shape, the friends and family who have enjoyed meals at our table, the holidays and birthdays and the everydays, and all the growing and healing and changing that has occurred in the lives of people under this roof.
One of the most bittersweet things about this move is that this is the place where Alaska from Scratch came to be – the kitchen where I rekindled my passion nourishing people through food, and day after day, gradually and steadily, a food blogger was born here. This kitchen and I have a rhythm. I love the way the sunlight casts golden beams through the window over the spacious stainless steel farm sink, daily creating a natural and beautiful staging place for food photography. I adore the ample pantry with her sliding shelves and the recipe notes I've taped to the inside of the door. I have a particular fondness for the way the gas range can sear a piece of salmon or the way the oven bakes a perfectly golden chewy-soft cookie. I will miss the open counter space where I've tested and tasted so many recipes I've happily lost track of all time and quantity. These pale wood floors and these white walls and these stainless steel appliances all tell a marvelous story – of food filled with love, a kitchen filled with music, a woman who found her voice, and all the readers who showed up and listened.
Creamy, spicy potato and kale soup with Italian sausage. Similar to Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana. Adapted from [Damn Delicious|http://damndelicious.net/2013/12/07/olive-garden-zuppa-toscana-copycat-recipe/].
Yields: 6 servings
To a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Brown the sausage until no longer pink. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic, and onion and cook, stirring often, until the onions a translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth, potatoes, and kale. Bring the broth to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat, stir in the cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into soup bowls and serve.
Last week marked the third anniversary of the day I first mustered the courage to hit the publish button and put this unexpected and wonderful thing called Alaska from Scratch out into the blogosphere. To celebrate three years and over 400 recipes, I took a spectacular little vacation from all things blogging and social media. I kept the computer closed and silenced my phone. Because one thing I've learned since I became a food blogger is how important it is to maintain perspective, keep your feet firmly planted, and regularly remind yourself why you love to do what you do. I've been working on remembering that in order to continue nourishing others through my passion and my work, I have to begin by nourishing myself. The latter has never come naturally or easily for me; it is a constant challenge for this girl. I am deeply thankful for the people in my life who lovingly remind me when I forget to take care of myself, who put on their bossy pants and demand that I acknowledge my own needs.
I'm also incredibly grateful for you, my many readers all over the world, who keep coming back again and again and who have made Alaska from Scratch a part of your lives, your kitchens, and your tables. Thank you a million times for making food memories with me.
This month, I had the distinct and humbling privilege of being featured in Alaska Innovator Magazine. If you have a spare moment, I'd love for you to give it a read.
This salmon bowl is a quick, healthy go-to meal for busy days. It's also packed full of deliciousness – fresh vegetables, soy, brown sugar, sesame, ginger, garlic, and fiery Sriracha – all over steamed rice. Grab your chopsticks and go to town.
Teriyaki glazed salmon over sesame vegetables and steamed rice.
Yields: 2 servings
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger until the sugar dissolves. Place the salmon flesh side down into the marinade and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Steam the 1 cup of white rice using your preferred method.
In a skillet over medium high heat, sauté the garlic in the sesame oil for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the snap peas (and other vegetables if using). Season with salt and cook until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and keep warm.
Return the pan to the heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserving marinade) and pat the fillets dry with a paper towel. Add them to the pan and sear until browned and caramelized on both sides, 2-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your fillets and your desired doneness (I like mine cooked to medium). Transfer the salmon to a plate to rest. Return the vegetables to the hot pan and pour in the marinade. Toss for one minute until the vegetables are coated and the marinade is heated through.
Divide the rice evenly between two bowls. Top with vegetables followed by a salmon fillet on each. Spoon the teriyaki sauce over top over everything and drizzle with Sriracha.

Flautas (literally translated as flutes) is not a new dish for some of my readers. I've already posted a dish of flautas before. That time I stuffed them with potatoes, but this time I used one of my favorite fillings in Mexican cuisine, tinga de pollo (shredded chicken cooked with adobado peppers and tomato sauce). But wait, tinga is not new either. Long time ago I posted this post of tostadas topped with tinga de pollo. So what's special about this post?
I am re-posting this dish because I want to join the Mexican Fiesta 09 event that Heidileon is hosting on her blog, Aromas y Sabores to celebrate Mexico's Independence. All this month she'll be posting recipes and a roundup of other bloggers' Mexican dishes. You can also join the fiesta with some delicious Mexican food (but not burritos, please!). Flautas for me bring back memories of festivals, celebrations and fairs so I think this is a great entry to start warming up for the month-long fiesta.
I also want to announce the return of the Homemade challenge. This time we want to give the fiesta some flavor with Salsas. So get your freshly picked tomatoes ready and prepare a fresh, homemade salsa. In Mexican cuisine there are hundreds (if not thousands) of different salsas (salsa and sauce is the same word in Spanish), but the most recognized outside the country are the ones used as toppings for tacos, tostadas and other Mexican dishes. They can be sweet, mild, hot or insanely fiery, but they all have the same purpose, to enhance and complement food flavor.
Remember that participating is very simple. Write a post on your blog and leave the permalink to it on this discussion of the forum before the month's out. Don't forget to mention this event and link back to the forum. I'll be posting the roundup here the first days of October. If you don't have a blog, just leave your recipe and pictures on the forum and I'll include them on the roundup, too.
¡Buen provecho!

Good for them they should be following their own hearts and decisions and not worrying about the opinions of skeptics. Marriage is a big step and no matter how old people are they still can never fully be prepared for it.Good luck to them I wish them a long happy life together against the odds.and critics.
