My friend Matt over at the Board of Church Extension wrote a great piece about 'anonymous letters' to the pastor. He says that pastors should not respond to these letters at all, and should probably not even read them.I agree that the anonymous angst letter should not be dignified with a response. A reply empowers the person who does not even give you the courtesy of their name (side note: we still know who you are)...and this sort of behavior should not be encouraged.But most clergy don' … [Read more...]

You Can't Handle the Truth
Some people have a loose relationship with the truth. I get that. Now me, I was born with this pesky built-in truth-telling device that makes it dang near impossible for me to lie. I would fail a lie detector test in 2 seconds flat. If i even catch myself wandering from the truth, my heartrate goes up, i get naseous, i feel the beginnings of canker sores... and these are for the little white lies. Like when somebody asks me "can you tell I've gained weight?" or "aren't my kids the cutest t … [Read more...]

Harry Smith on Chubby Parker's "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O (Froggie Went A-Courtin')": "Zoologic Miscegeny Achieved in Mouse/Frog Nuptuals, relatives approve!"
What a great, romantic song! It's got it all man: Zoologic miscegeny, extreme violence, Frog/Mouse offspring.
Love knows no bounds!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Music: Chubby Parker and his old time banjo (1928). Film: Kris Anka
Well chosen.
What would Chubby say?
that frog kicks ass!
And thank you lunchlady and Jali--I wanted to do something a little different for V-Day.
McGarrett--there are most definitely more lyrics to the song. Versions of "Froggie Went a-Courtin'" can be traced back to the 1580s (a composition titled: "A Moste Strange Weddinge of the Frogge and the Mouse "). The song originated in Northern England, traveled through Ireland before making a home here in America.
And you're right that the repetition, but I'd contend that that's why it's such a fun song to sing. Everyone can join in. A great porch/campfire sing-a-long song.
Just an extra note on the history: The original 1580s version was inspired by the prospective marriage of Queen Elizabeth to Francois, Duke of Anjou (when Elizabeth was in her 50s; Francois was more than 20 years younger). Elizabeth nicknamed Francois her "frog". So the courtin' Froggie was this Duke of Anjou -- and the episode may have been the origin of British references to the French as "Frogs" ever after.

Made this for New Year's Eve dinner with my husband and two children -- it was extraordinarily good! We modified the recipe: used 5-year-old white cheddar and substituted a cream ale for the stout (thought Guinness might be too strong a taste for the kids). Also used fresh-pressed apple cider instead of apple juice concentrate. The texture was smooth and creamy (I think the quality of the cheese is key here) and the taste was divine. We served it with steamed broccoli, cauliflower, ruby red fingerling potatoes, French bread and apples and loved them all. It was one of those meals where everyone kept saying "Ooh" and "Aaah." Would definitely do this again.
This was good, but the cheddar got gummy. Next time I might add some Velveeta to keep it smooth. GASP.
Delicious!! Described as a first course, this recipe works better as a main course because the use of stout makes for a very rich fondue. I made a beer bread (again with stout) that went really well with it. The bread could have made it a stout overload, but was subtle enough that it paired well. And I just realized that I forgot the apples! Looks like I've got to start all over again! Yum!
I'm makin this tonight. Leah http://thesnackingchef.blogspot.com
I always make fondue using beer. I think Stout may be a little strong for my tastes but that is just personal perference. I also put a smashed garlic clove in with the liquid as I heat it and remove it before adding the cheese.
I also used sam Adams Light and it was wonderful! Dipped bread, apples and asparagus. Will def be making this again.
I have made several beer cheese dips and fondues and have found that I don't enjoy the flavor. I like beer and cheese seperately though :) When I made this the texture was a little grainy but I didn't use high quality cheese. If you like beer and cheese dips this recipe is for you, I just personally don't care for it.
Fabulous! It had such an amazing flavor that even my kids enjoyed, too!
My guests loved this and I loved this recipe. I served it with a walnut prune bread, mission figs, sausages and apples. Fabulous. The color was more like caramel or maple icing. The flavor was great. I used a sharp VT cheddar and made my own concentrate by boiling apple juice down to a concentrated syrup. Still very easy.

The churchyard of Alonsotegui (in Basque and officially Alonsotegi) is a municipality in the province of Biscay, Basque Country, Spain. The current name of Alonsotegui was manifest in the 1990s when it separated it from the Baracaldo municipality to which was attached since the end of 19th century. Alonsotegui is approximately 8 kilomenters from the center of Bilbao. Nestled in the valley of the River Cadagua, the churchyard follows the direction of the Road BI-636 ranging from Zorroza to Balmaseda.
With a total length of 16.02 km², its population of 2,831 (INE 2008) is shared between the 3 towns (Alonsotegui (the capital), Iráuregui, and Arbuyo) of the municipality.
Alonsotegui occupies 20 km². The settlement of the population, as well as the industries, are located in the corridor that the River Cadagua opens between the Sasiburu saw (up to 500 m) and the mountains Ganecogorta (998 m) and Pagasarri (673 m). Several streams have their source on their slopes and bring water to the Cadagua. The center is located at an altitude of 46 m. It borders Baracaldo and Bilbao on the north, Arrancudiaga and Güeñes on the south with, Arrigorriaga and Bilbao on the east, and Güeñes on the west .
The history of Alonsotegi is divided into 4 periods:
- Until the late 15th and early 16th centuries, Alonsotegui was part of the municipality of Arrigorriaga.
- In the 16th century, an independent churchyard was established and remained as such until 1888.
- From November 13, 1888 until December 31, 1990, the place remained annexed to the Alonsotegui Baracaldo municipality.
- January 1, 1991, a new and distinct town was delegated in conjunction with the district Iráuregui as Baracaldés.
Places of interest[edit]
Alonsotegui has several items of historical, cultural and natural interest:
- Refrigerators of Pagasarri
- Bridge Iráuregui
- The Chapel of San Antolin Iráuregui, San Martin Hermitage, Santa Quiteria Hermitage and Hermitage of Our Lady of The Guide
- Neobasque constructions (such as the working houses of Barrankalea)
- Neo-Gothic buildings such as the Church of St. Bartholomew
- Architectural Elements of ethnographic interest such as the stables and pens in the pastoral neighborhood of Artiba
Municipal elections, 2011[edit]
Six parties submitted the lists of the municipality: EAJ-PNV, Bildu, PSE-EE, PP, EB and an independent party called Alonsotegiko Ezkerra. The results were as follows:
Political Party | Number of votes | % valid votes for candidates | Town councillor |
Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ-PNV) | 708 | 41,55% | 5 |
Bildu (Bildu) | 500 | 29,34% | 4 |
Alonsotegiko Ezkerra (AE) | 194 | 11,38% | 1 |
Basque Country's Socialist Party - Euskadiko Ezkerra (PSE-EE) | 173 | 10,15% | 1 |
Partido Popular (PP) | 68 | 3,99% | 0 |
Ezker Batua (EB) | 30 | 1,76% | 0 |
This led to winning the current mayor of the town Aitor Santiesteban Aldama.
- Fray Martin de Coscojales, monk
- Fray Miguel de Alonsotegui and Miranda and Jose Zabala, friar
- Inigo Urkullu (1961 -), politician
- Andoni Goikoetxea (1956 -), former footballer and football coach.
- Marcelino Bilbao Bilbao (1920 -), Lieutenant Isaac battalion Bridge of the National Confederation of Labour (CNT) and the People's Republic Army (EPR). Survivor Nazi concentration camp Mauthausen.

Jun 18th, 2005, 08:13 PM
I saw most of the first set in the Kremer/Pratt semi-final yesterday. The tie-break was I think the longest one I've ever seen live, with Pratt taking it 16-14 I think -or even 17-15! It was torture to even watch, in the blazing heat. (I try not to make disparaging remarks about any player's appearance but I can't help this: Nicole Pratt is the most masculine-looking player I've ever seen in 30 years of following the game...)

Handmade for two-steppin' in style
What: Lucchese Caiman Cowboy Boots
Where: Sheplers, 6501 W. Kellogg
How much: $1,350
If you want to go two-steppin' in style, these are the boots to do it in.
The boots are the top of the line at Wichita-based Sheplers, which claims to be the world's largest Western wear store.
And they carry a high price tag for several reasons, said Kevin Reffner, manager of the Sheplers Wichita store. First is the material. Caiman, a member of the alligator family, resemble alligators in not only their appearance but also their skin. Therefore, the caiman used to make the boots resembles that of the more exotic alligator skin, he said.
Also, the boots are handmade in Texas by Lucchese Boot Co.
Reffner said Lucchese uses the highest-grade material in its boots. And Lucchese craftsmen are skilled at making the last, which is a form or mold for the shape of a foot that's used to make and repair shoes and boots.
"Because of that last, that's why you put on Lucchese boots," Reffner said.

Saint Paul was founded by bar owner Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant, a former fur trapper and bootlegger. The village that grew up around Parrant's bar was also known as Pig's Eye until, according to local lore, a Catholic priest named Lucien Galtier "converted" the town and renamed it Saint Paul.
In 1857, the Minnesota Territorial Council passed a bill that would have moved the capital from Saint Paul to Saint Peter. A legislator named Joe Rolette stole the bill's text and went into hiding with it, preventing the move.

Posts filed under 'Posttribulational Rapture'
Theological Problems for Those Who Fail to Grasp Scripture
Folks, as I have said numerous times. It does not matter to me WHEN the Rapture happens. In fact, I might die before it ever occurs. What concerns me is the salvation of those who walk through this life and who do not know Jesus. Our friend has a blog and it appears his entire motivation for that blog has nothing to do with witnessing or evangelizing the lost. His entire blog (as far as I can tell) is to discount the PreTrib Rapture. That's it. That's his apparent mission in life, which tells me that he is being disobedient to the Great Commission at the very least.
Point of Clarification Regarding the Rapture and Tribulation
The one thing I think all of us Christians lack (and that includes me) is a more prominent display of authentic humility (to God) in our lives. No one living today is Jesus Christ even though there are at least five people alive right now who claim to be Him. No one has His understanding. No one has His wisdom. No one has His sinless nature. We must endeavor to adopt a true spirit of humility (that only God can provide) so that disagreements over doctrine do not become points of contention and knock-down, drag-outs.
What is the Coming Tribulation All About? Part 3
I fully believe that this coming seven-year period is a time when God will pour out His wrath onto this world. I explained this in Part 1. As another proof of this, please note that Revelation 5 depicts a scene in heaven where a seven-sealed scroll is introduced. This scroll appears to be something special and at first, it looks like no one is found worthy to open it. John the apostle, who witnesses this scene, breaks down into tears because all seemed hopeless.
Lost in Translation on Book of Revelation Has Some Worthwhile Points and Some Not So Worthwhile
What is frustrating is that these reasons have been more than adequately responded to by others. Because the word "Rapture" is not used in the Bible does not mean it is not a true doctrine. You won't find the word "Trinity" either, but does that mean that God is not three in one?
Let's Talk About the Coming Tribulation Over Several Posts, Shall We? All right…
The Tribulation is another area of controversy. Is there an area of Scripture that is not controversial, we might ask? The Tribulation is described as a period of time – seven years – in which God pours out His wrath onto this world and humanity. He does this for two reasons: 1) to purify Israel and gather to Himself the final Remnant of Jews, and 2) to judge the people of the world for how they have continued to reject Him as God and for how they have treated Israel, the apple of His eye.

The Moscow-Vladivostok Trans Siberian railway line is the longest one in the world. This is a railway line that stretches over 9300 kilometres starting from Moscow in the West to Vladivostok in the East which is on the Pacific coast. Vladivostok is the largest Russian port on the Pacific ocean.
Pacific Ocean
This is the largest ocean in the world. It extends from the Arctic in the north to Antarctica in the south. It is bound by Asia to the west and the Americas to the east. The ocean was first discovered by the Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa in the early 16th century. In 1513, he crossed the Isthmus of Panama and barely touched the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean. He called it the Mar del Sur which means South Sea.
It was left to Magellan who lead an expedition that sailed around the world to appreciate the full size of the Pacific Ocean. He was the one who gave the name Ocean Pacifico to this body of water, because he encountered only peaceful waters on his journey. While the exploitation of the Ocean's mineral wealth is hampered by its great depth, it is an excellent location for fishing. It is rich in herring, salmon, swordfish, sardines, tuna and also shellfish.
This is a variety of fish. Specifically, it is a saltwater finfish. It is among the fastest swimming pelagic fish. (By pelagic, we refer to the zone of the seas that are neither close to the top or the bottom.) Some species of Tuna can swim upto speeds of 75 km per hour.
Tunas have a physical mechanism by which they maintain their body temperature at a convenient warmth by physically generating heat. They achieve this by conserving the heat generated through normal metabolism. An intertwining of arteries and veins helps to transfer the heat from warm blood in the veins to the blood in the arteries.
So the path that we have traversed today is:
Van Cliburn —> Moscow —> Pacific Ocean —> Tuna
Three clicks! Hop over. Its time for the next question:
Monday's Marauder
Bluetooth—> Jupiter

Next Stop...America
Day 74: One of the many charming character traits of the English is their attitude towards their own weather. If, as a visitor to England, you experience four days of near-incessant downpour and you happen to make a casual reference to the foul nature of the conditions to a local, they will nod in deep agreement, roll their eyes at the darkened heavens and say, "I can't understand where it all came from so suddenly. Last week was beautiful." Rain, amazingly, takes the English by surprise. They see it as a freak occurrence, the kind of thing most people only ever read about in textbooks.
That's not to say England isn't a land of freak weather occurrences. If you hang around long enough you'll experience one. It happened to me. We had an evening balloon flight scheduled for the 16th, and then a second flight as back-up on the 17th. On both dates, the weather forced early surrender. The sky was wet concrete, as steady wind was blowing and a balloon, no matter how hot the air inside, would have been beaten downwards by the pelt of raindrops. By mid-morning on the 17th, however, just as the window of balloon opportunity had opened and closed, the freak occurrence occurred: the sky cleared.
A break in the weather
It all happens very quickly in England. A tear appears in the celestial carpet of grey and a shaft of sunlight blares down, illuminating a patch of green, wet land. As the clouds move, the spotlight zooms over the topography, cresting rises, falling into valleys and dipping into little streams. Another tear appears and everything begins to look joyfully lush. Soon, the sky is more blue than grey.
Ballooning may have been scotched, but the thought of gaining elevation still seemed like a good one. Drew and I drove to the top of a place called Kit Hill, a local highpoint in east Cornwall not far from the north coast crowned by a pretty smokestack, the sole intact remnant of a 19th Century wolfram mine. I had never heard of wolfram before, but there used to be a lot of it on Kit Hill, apparently.
These days, people come here to mine something considerably less tangible than ore: the view. It stretches in all directions. An elderly couple pulled up in a blue hatchback and released two spaniels from the back seat. A flat area of grass--grazed by sheep to putting-green smoothness--was the setting for their canine exercise. The woman threw a tennis ball for the dogs. On one throw, a white and brown spaniel took off with enthusiasm and reached such a speed that the physics of spaniel locomotion failed and the dog tumbled and rolled for a stretch of ten feet. As quickly, it gained its stance again, snatched the ball in its mouth and returned happily and triumphantly to mistress. There's nothing like a good recovery.
Drew and I drove down to Plymouth, where we found an incredible parking spot right in the center of town. Plymouth, I am pleased to report, isn't nearly as ugly or depressing as some people will have you think. There are nice looking pubs and restaurant, cute shops, and in front of the courthouse Drew and I watched two unsavory youths engage in a shouting match that had overtones of violence. As Nabokov nearly said, "Nothing is more exhilarating than philistine vulgarity."
Following signs for "Tourist Information," Drew and reached our goal: the harbor where, in 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers set sail on the Mayflower for Plymouth Rock. There's an arch commemorating the event, and just across the street is an interpretive museum where I learned that almost all the foggy notions I had about the Pilgrim Fathers were mainly myths. For example, the Pilgrim Fathers weren't the first settlers in America-they arrived about a hundred years after the first settlers. Second, Plymouth Rock wasn't so named because the Pilgrim Fathers set out from Plymouth. It was called Plymouth Rock before they even got there, and the only reason they landed there was because the first place they planned on landing didn't work out.
Not far from the Mayflower Museum, Drew and I found a fish and chips restaurant. In terms of English stereotypes, fish and chips is second only to the weather and just like the weather, the quality of English fish and chips veers towards the soggy. But when you get lucky, you find that you're very happy indeed to be in England, which is just how we felt after downing a slab of fried cod, a plate of chips and mushy peas. Full to the point of bloat, we stopped in at the Plymouth English Gin distillery, started up about almost 200 years after the Mayflower set sail. There is no question that gin travels extremely well and tastes as good in India as it does in England. Still, it always feels to good to purchase such things right at the source.
Back in 1620, Plymouth was not, in fact, the Pilgrim Fathers' original point of departure. Southampton was, and the only reason they stopped in Plymouth was for emergency repairs. Their journey across the Atlantic took them 60 days, during which time the passengers suffered from bouts of seasickness, a baby was born and one man died. As an interpretive display at the Mayflower Museum pointed out, below decks conditions were cramped and ventilation scarce and the smell would have been "unbearable."
Like the Pilgrims, I too am taking on a ship across the Atlantic departing from Southampton and bound for America. My trip should take about one tenth as long as theirs, and below decks I'll entertain myself by seeing live shows, indulging myself at a spa, spending the tattered remnants of my budget at the casino, and eating at one of 10 restaurants onboard. With any luck, the smell will not be unbearable. And unlike the Pilgrim Fathers, I'm packing gin.

Utah ranks as 7th healthiest state according to report
SALT LAKE CITY — Many adults have a hard time finding time to exercise, and the trend seems to be continuing in Utah's youths.
But for those who do, health officials say, the payout is big.
"It's one of the greatest returns in terms of health over a lifetime, making sure that kids have a good start," said Dr. Robert Rolfs, deputy director of the Utah Department of Health.
Healthy decisions begin before birth, Rolfs said, and parents and other adults can do a lot for a child's long-term success by being an example and making good decisions themselves.
"Most (teenagers) don't have physical barriers to do things that are active," he said. "A lot of opportunities for physical activity at that age are just going out and having fun."
But about 50 percent of adolescents in the state don't get as much as an hour of physical activity a day, according to the 23rd annual United Health Foundation's America's Health Rankings report released Tuesday.
For the third straight year, however, Utah is slotted as the seventh healthiest state in the nation.
The report cites Utah's smoking and binge drinking rates as some of the lowest in the country, as well as the lowest prevalence of adult diabetes and a significant drop in preventable hospitalizations since 2007, as improvements for the state.
Utah also boasts the lowest rate of cancer deaths and a low incidence of violent crime, according to the report.
The state is the sixth least fat state, with a low number of obese residents when compared with the rest of the nation, and it ranks second for its percentage of residents who are physically active. But Rolfs said the numbers can be deceiving.
"Right now, one in every four Utahns is obese, and the number goes up every year," he said. "Our eating habits, especially the empty sugar calories we consume, are killing us."
Andrea Magness, of Clinton, came to a similar conclusion and decided she needed to be healthier to keep up with her two vibrant sons, ages 5 and 8.
Magness joined a gym, attended early morning fitness classes and found a great online method, www.emeals.com, to help her come up with healthy food options for her family.
Not only is her family of four healthier, they spend less money on eating out and waste less of what they buy from the grocery store each week, even while juggling busy afternoon schedules running between different sporting events that used to lead to many frantic, fast-food meals.
It's been a couple of months since they made the effort to be healthier, but Magness says she's already noticed a difference in her kids. One eats more variety and is less picky about food, and the other has the energy he needs to play hours of indoor and outdoor soccer competitively.
"He has to have energy, and if he doesn't eat right, he doesn't have the energy," she said.
The young boys also work out in their own ways because they know their mom is going to the gym.
"It isn't about losing weight or being skinny," Magness said. "I want to be a good role model to them. I want them to know that being healthy is a better lifestyle and that it makes you happy and those around you happy."
In addition to making healthy decisions about daily life, Magness, 32, said she feels better, sleeps better and is more energetic. She finds herself wanting to do more active things and still gets to indulge in her love of cooking.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2010) |
Olga Breeskin[1] (born Olga Breeskin Torres on September 22, 1951) is a Mexican violinist, dancer, actress and vedette. She is the daughter of Russian violinist and conductor Elias Breeskin.
Olga Breeskin was born in Mexico City. She and her brother as children learned to play the violin from their father. When Breeskin was 13 years old; she and her brother were forced to support the family and began to play their violins for tips in restaurants.[citation needed] Breeskin later confessed that she kept some of the tip money for herself by hiding it in her shoe. Later, Ernesto Valz, the owner of a Mexico City night-club chain, discovered Breeskin playing her violin for tips during lunch. Recognizing her talent and her natural beauty, he hired her to perform in many of his nightclubs and created a nightclub act for her.
Breeskin rose to fame in the 1970s for her nightclub act, where she danced and shimmied in French-cut leotards while playing the violin. She became the headliner in the nightclub, located in the penthouse of the Hotel Continental. (It was previously known as the Hilton Hotel … Mexican President Miguel Alemán Valdés during his presidency had an argument with Conrad Hilton, as a result, Alemán confiscated the Hotel for his personal investment.[2] the hotel was completely destroyed in the 1985 Mexico City earthquake[3]). Her Hotel Continental nightclub act was based on a Las Vegas-style show that had numerous back-up dancers and a full show band to accompany Breeskin. The opening song for her show was "Todos Queremos Ver A Olga" (Everyone Wants to See Olga). Televisa, which was owned at the time by Miguel Alemán, Jr., developed a 30-second TV commercial, where Olga wore a French-cut leotard with dangly sequined ribbon strips that flew away from her body as she spun around, she stopped, put her hand on her hip and with the other hand motioned "to come here." It was a lusty commercial for conservative Mexico. But Mexico was hypnotized with Breeskin's charms. For years, every night her performances were sold out. Nightclubs led to films. Her most recognizable movie was "Nora La Rebelde". She was considered for many years the number one female entertainer in Mexico.[citation needed] Many tried to imitate Breeskin such as Thelma Tixou, Wanda Seux, and Lila Deneken. The Mexican press called her "La número uno" (The Number One).[citation needed]
When she married a New York dancer, Joey Doucette, the Mexican press asked her why she married an Americano instead of Mexican. Her reply was, "A Mexican husband would never allow me to wear a postage-stamp size costume."[4] Joey and Breeskin had one child, Alan. Later Breeskin opened a clinic for research and care for asthmatic children in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2007 she became a born again Christian and has been sharing her testimony at Christian services since. In April 20 and 21, 2012 she is scheduled to be part of an evangelical fundamentalist event in North Carolina led by a minister named Adrian Amado.
This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (September 2009) |
Breeskin presently lives and works in Las Vegas, NV. She has a popular radio show and occasionally performs her nightclub act. In September 5,2014 Breeskin performed for the Alonzo De Leon Middle School orchestra class. Honors students were delighted by her, including Honors viola player Matthew Lennon Romo.

52-year-old man walks in 800-pound boots
Posted By Vamien McKalin On December 10, 2013 @ 9:26 AM In Miscellaneous | 2 Comments
A simple stroll per day is good for your health an also quite relaxing. During these walks, folks like you and I would likely wear sneakers, but Beijing factory owner Zhang is a different kettle of fish. This awesome 52 year old walks around in iron boots that both weighs over 440 pounds on a daily basis. This means everyday he's pulling over 800 pounds like boss, while you guys can barely take a step outside without catching a cold.
Zhang has been walking 15 meters for seven years in these 800 pound boots. We'd like to think this man could roundhouse kick a guy's face off clean as a whistle. This is one person you don't want to mess with on the streets, for you might end up seeking a face implant.
Interestingly enough, Zhang claims that walking in the iron shoe helps with back pains. He further went on to say that the Chinese spiritual martial art of Qigong helps him greatly to walk in these shoes. It's no wonder that younger people are unable to lift even a single boot as depicted by the video. Plus, Zhang, is so confident, he leaves his prized 800 pound boots outside knowing very well that no one can steal them.
"It's not strong muscles that make you able to walk like this, the power comes from internal organs," the 52-year-old says. "When you walk with your heart it will work."
The big question is, can he backflip in these boots?

Breakthrough Ablation Procedure Uses Electricity To Target Tumors With Minimal Side-Effects To Patients
Cancer Treatment Centers of America ® at Midwestern Regional Medical Center is the first cancer hospital in Illinois to perform a NanoKnife ® Procedure
CHICAGO, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Interventional radiologists at Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center (Midwestern) performed the first Nanoknife procedure in Illinois, using electricity to target hard to access tumors. The technology, called NanoKnife®, uses electrical impulses to effectively break up tumors and destroy cancer cells that may otherwise be inoperable or allow for few treatment options due to their proximity to major arteries, airways and other vulnerable tissues. The NanoKnife procedure is commonly used to treat tumors located in the liver or pancreas.
"This is an innovative procedure that is specifically made for treating patients with cancerous tumors in high-risk locations," said Kenny Yoo, MD, interventional radiologist at CTCA at Midwestern. "Despite the name, there is no cutting involved. The minimally invasive treatment uses needles to supply an electrical current to the tumor's cancerous cells, which disbands the tumor."
Interventional radiologists use guided imagery to assist in locating the cancer and strategically place up to six needles around the exterior of the tumor. A generator device is then turned on to deliver a low, direct current of energy to the tissue, which punctures several nanometer-sized holes in the tumor, causing the cells to be unbalanced and die. Depending on the complexity of the tumor, the procedure takes approximately two to four hours to complete, at which time the patient is under general anesthesia. "The NanoKnife technology allows us to pinpoint the exact location of the tumor and deliver energy to that specific area only, thus sparing healthy tissue and delicate areas of the body nearby," said Yoo.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Mayer Brown's Appellate.net |
SUPREME COURT DOCKET REPORT Â 1997 Term, Number 17 / June 8, 1998 Today the Court granted
certiorari in two cases of interest to the business community. Amicus briefs in
support of the petitioners are due on July 23, 1998, and amicus briefs in
support of the respondents are due on August 24 (because August 22 is a
Saturday). Any questions about these cases should be directed to Evan Tager
(202-778-0618) or Alan Untereiner (202-778-0656) in our Washington
office. The City of Chester,
located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, has approximately 40,000 residents, of
whom 65% are black, while the county has approximately 500,000 residents, of
whom 6.2% are black. Under the Solid Waste Management Act, Pa. Stat. Ann. tit.
35, § 6018.101 et seq., the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) has authority to issue permits to operate waste processing
facilities. Since 1987, DEP has issued five waste facility permits for sites in
the City of Chester that have a total annual waste capacity of 2.1 million tons.
During that same time, for the rest of Delaware County DEP issued permits for
two sites with a total annual capacity of 1,400 tons. After DEP issued a permit
to Soil Remediation Services, Inc. to operate a soil treatment site in the City
of Chester, the citizen's group Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living
(CRQL) filed an action alleging that DEP violated the EPA's "discriminatory
effect" regulations. The district court dismissed the claim, holding that no
private right of action exists under which CRQL could enforce the EPA's
"discriminatory effect" regulations. The Third Circuit reversed. 132 F.3d 925
(1997). Applying Cort v. Ash, 422 U.S. 66 (1975), the court found
that Title VI's legislative history, structure, and purpose supported inferring
a private right of action. With far less analysis, nine other circuits have also
allowed private litigants to enforce "discriminatory effect" regulations.
This case has already
attracted a great deal of amicus interest. The United States, along with the
Trial Lawyers for Public Justice and the Southern Poverty Law Center, filed
briefs in the lower courts supporting CRQL. The Washington Legal Foundation
filed a brief in support of petitioners, urging the Court to consider whether
"discriminatory effect" regulations are consistent with the Equal Protection
Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The recognition of a
private right of action under Title VI could unsettle the expectations of
businesses that have dealings with federally funded state and local agencies.
Accordingly, such businesses should have a significant interest in the outcome
of this case. Wanda Johnson was treated
at a hospital operated by Galen of Virginia (Galen) for injuries sustained when
she was hit by a truck. The Galen staff treated her injuries for two months and
then arranged for her transfer to a nursing home. At the time of the transfer,
Johnson was suffering from a urinary tract infection for which she had begun
treatment with antibiotics. Johnson's guardian, Jane Roberts, subsequently
brought suit under EMTALA, alleging that Johnson was transferred before her
condition had been stabilized and in violation of Galen's discharge protocols.
Roberts also claimed that Galen's administrators expedited Johnson's discharge
because Johnson was unable to pay for continued care. Galen disputed the claim,
contending that the physician who authorized Johnson's discharge had no
knowledge of her financial status. The district court granted
summary judgment to Galen. Under the Sixth Circuit's decision in Cleland
v. Bronson Health Care Group, 917 F.2d 266 (1990), the district court
explained, plaintiffs suing under EMTALA are required to prove that the
discharging physician acted because of an "improper motive" (such as the
patient's inability to pay for medical care). Roberts, however, had failed to
come forward with any evidence that the hospital employee who discharged Johnson
had acted with an improper motive. The Sixth Circuit
affirmed. 111 F.3d 405 (1997). Noting that the EMTALA was not enacted to
supplant state law malpractice actions, the Sixth Circuit held that to withstand
summary judgment a plaintiff must come forward with something beyond a
hospital's breach of the applicable standard of care. Id. at 409. The
Sixth Circuit also rejected the proposition that EMTALA liability may attach
upon mere proof that the plaintiff received disparate medical treatment.
Ibid. The court reasoned that a disparate treatment standard would
require hospitals to argue that they routinely subject all patients to
the same (allegedly negligent) treatment that the plaintiff received. Id.
at 409-410. To avoid that result, and to preclude reliance upon EMTALA as a
federal remedy for malpractice, the Sixth Circuit held that a claim under EMTALA
requires proof that a patient's discharge was caused by an improper motive.
Id. at 411. The Sixth Circuit's
"improper motive" requirement conflicts with decisions of the First, Fourth,
Eighth, and District of Columbia Circuits. See Correa v. Hospital San
Francisco, 69 F.3d 1184 (1st Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 1423
(1996); Power v. Arlington Hosp. Ass'n, 42 F.3d 851 (4th Cir.
1994); Summers v. Baptist Med. Ctr. Arkadelphia, 91 F.3d 1132 (8th
Cir. 1996); Gatewood v. Washington Health Care Corp., 933 F.2d
1037 (D.C. Cir. 1991). The case should be of interest to all hospitals that offer emergency medical evaluation and treatment. * * * * * The Court today also
handed a major victory to companies threatened with environmental liability for
the acts of subsidiary corporations. In United States v. Bestfoods
(f/k/a CPC International, Inc.), No. 97-454, the Court unanimously rejected
the government's contention - which had succeeded in the First, Second, Third,
and Fourth Circuits, see slip op. 7 n.8, and was pressed vigorously in the
Supreme Court - that a parent corporation may be held indirectly liable under
CERCLA for the operations of its subsidiary if it exercises some degree of
"control" over that subsidiary short of that necessary to permit piercing the
corporate veil. The Supreme Court wrote: "[t]he Court of Appeals was *Â *Â *
correct in holding that when (but only when) the corporate veil may be pierced,
*Â *Â * a parent corporation [may] be charged with derivative CERCLA liability for
its subsidiary's actions." Slip op. 10 (footnotes omitted). Although the Court
remanded the case for a determination whether, on its particular facts, the
parent was directly liable as an operator, the Court's rejection of the
government's broad legal position was square and unanimous. Mayer, Brown & Platt
briefed and argued this case for respondent Bestfoods. Copyright 1998 Mayer, Brown & Platt. This Mayer, Brown

Sweet win for Slade
Russell Slade's first return to Withdean Stadium since his sacking as Brighton boss was a sweet one as his Leyton Orient side eased into the second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy with a 2-0 win.Goals in each half from ex-Seagulls winger Dean Cox and Ryan Jarvis wrecked below-par Brighton, whose fortunes were summed up by Glenn Murray's 50th-minute penalty miss.Cox gave Orient the lead against the run of play in the 21st minute with a deflected shot over goalkeeper Casper Ankergren after Stephen Dawson pulled the ball back to him.Cox came close to adding a second four minutes later when he sent a volley against the crossbar, and later crossed accurately for Jarvis to head wastefully wide.Orient keeper Jamie Jones denied Brighton before the break by twice thwarting efforts from striker Ashley Barnes before tipping over Liam Bridcutt's goalbound shot.Jarvis doubled Orient's lead two minutes after the break, heading in a free-kick from Matthew Spring from 12 yards. A foul by debutant Orient defender Aaron Brown on Murray gave the Brighton striker the opportunity to reduce the arrears from the penalty spot, but his side-footed effort was saved by keeper Jones diving to his left.

Paragliding in Taiwan
A Taiwanese friend of mine wanted to do something thrilling, so we planned a trip to Wanli–north of Taipei–to go paragliding. A group of my friends had been last year and had had a good time, but at that point, I was still new to Taipei and trying to save money until I received my first paycheck so I passed up the opportunity. Luckily, this new opportunity presented itself while I was still on summer vacation from school.
Pre-take off
My friend called ahead the day before and the morning of our flying date to make sure the weather was safe for flying and that there were no expected storms that might cancel the trip. The company advises to call beforehand to check, as they do not take appointments. The weather happened to be great that day, with just the perfect amount of wind, so the trip was on. We met at Taipei Main Station MRT and then went by bus 1815 to Jinshan, which took about an hour. The bus stop we got off at was the Miles Bridge Station, directly across from a 7-11 and a street sign that pointed the way to the paragliding site (Mustang Paragliding Club). When we arrived, we called the shuttle service at the club for free transportation up to the launch site. (To be honest, the transportation to the top of the mountain was more terrifying than anything I actually experienced flying around eighty stories off the ground. The driver had actually just finished telling me that I should learn how to drive a manual car since they offer more control before he swerved to avoid a car coming from the opposite direction around a hilly turn).

Review: BOMBAY CANTEEN
Indian Cafe & Bar
We are rejoicing! Many reasons…not only is it a joyful experience but there is distinct joy in the food too. There is a palpable youthful vibe not just in the ambiance, the staff, the diners but once again, in the food too. Bombay Canteen celebrates India and ofcourse Bombay. Much like my brilliant world renowned artist guest Jaideep Mehrotra whose works embody the melting pot of cultures in our metropolis, a melange of the eastern & western sensibilities. Like the Sachin Sculpture at Sasmira Junction, which pays tribute to a local lad using state of the art material to create it.Both, he and his lovely wife Seema feel that 'Bombay Canteen' has both these elements and manages to capture them well in their flavours and presentation.
Walk into this airy 4,000 sq. ft of brilliantly done up space and be charmed by the Bombay nostalgia in this unfinished "bungalow" with it's stained glass, long rustic bar, printed tiles, manually lettered pricing boards.Thankfully it does not degenerate into a themed cutesy cafe,
space, Kudos to the Busride Design Studio.
NYC to MUMBAI
This Goan chef, worked in Mumbai and took NYC by storm way before glamorboy Vikas Khanna. I first met Chef Floyd Cardoz fifteen years ago, when I had been flown down to NYC by Asia Society for a panel discussion on Indian food with the icons, Madhur Jaffrey and Danny Meyer. I ate with Danny Meyer at "Tabla" , Floyds introduction of Indian food to America and loved it. A couple of years ago, i ate at Floyd's "Northend grill" and came away disappointed. Both have since shut, Floyd still straddles both continents (Whitestreet in NYC and Bombay Canteen here). This one marks his return to and celebration of Indian cuisine. Along with Chef Thomas Zachiaras they use only local ingredients (many not served in restaurants) and evolve Indian cuisine by making it "cool". Their passion shines through.
Flavors and textures do a rocking jugalbandi! Like the crisp Arbi tuk and mugra chaat. Goan pulled pork does the dandiya with theplas. Eggs Kejriwal get yummier with Kerala coconutty chutney. It begins with the "chintus" (tiny floating snacks much like David Chang's Ma Peche) super
Unda Curry Devilled Desi Eggs, paper-thin lotus-root fryums. Chhotas (salads, tacos and more) Badas (
Spiced Grilled Chicken Kaleji ) and we also ask for the "Patiala" ( large sharing dishes) fish. Chef Zachiaras' coconutty My uncles mutton curry delights. Whoa! the rum-spiked Gulabnut, is Floyd's improvement on the cronut, but for me its the fleshy guava tan ta tan ( tart tatin) with it's red chilly icecream that works the magic. A fully stocked bar,c raft beers by The Gateway Brewing Co are the other upsides.
My assistant calls to book the table in his name (I never book in mine) and is told they are booked up till 9.30pm.He persists and finally secures a booking for 7pmand for atleast the first two hours the cafe is more or less empty. The loud music jars and keep getting louder. Multi-Grain Khichdi, Steamed Kokum Idiyappam, banana deep fried pakodas
are ho hum. Infact, the vegetarian fare does not sparkle as much as the non veg one. Milk Braised Kashmiri Raan not available.Ice Cream Sandwich and masala chai popsicle sound better than they taste,
Balle balle! Indian cuisine gets its much needed complement of playfulness, modernism and global sophistication. Thankfully no molecular gastronomy here! No chicken tikka masala either! Sure they don't ace everything, the portions could be larger, the vegetarian fare more finetuned. Accessibility is the guiding ethos, it is a go-to, drop-in (open for dinner only) canteen for enlightened food lovers on all budgets. I love the way this canteen marries locally sourced, serious food with an ultra-casual, spontaneous dining ethos, Eating here feels unencumbered, honest and joyful…that word again!
P.S. I just hope this brand new Canteen keeps it up.

Review: HENG BOK
I can't stop smiling! I feel great 'hengbok" as I review "Heng bok" Mumbai's very first dedicated Korean restaurant whose name translates to "happiness" (in Korean, ofcourse!). Never mind that the driving force chef James Biaca is from Mizoram. He has already proven his prowess with the well-loved Japanese "Kofuku". Several research trips to and imports from Korea and voila! Bandra gets "Heng Bok".
Simple, unpretentious décor. Two boxed in levels, simple wooden tables, a large Buddha as soon as you walk in.
Kudos for the deft use of kimchi — that spicy, tangy tangle of fermented vegetables — in many of the dishes, be it Jjigae (soups) hot pots, barbecues. They even serve up Korean sushi and Korean dimsum . And for Japanese buffs there is sashimi and sushi too.
Spicy food and pork-belly lovers this is your heaven. It's called Gochujang Sangyupsal (pork-belly imported from Belgium is marinated in Gochujang a spicy Korean chilli paste). You barbeque it on your table (they will help you along), when done to choice, wrap it in a lettuce leaf, dab the spicy sauce and sesame oil and let the flavor bomb implode on your taste buds. The less spicy version (samgyupsal) is worth trying .They offer beef and seafood barbecue too. Chicken (dak) is served up only as appetisers Having sparked your appetite satiate it with the either of the other two classic Korean dishes…the jeongol (hot pot) or the Bibimbap ( must try rice dish). Jeongol (hot pot stew) The large hot pot brims with a spicy broth (choice of pork beef and vegetarian too) and makes for a hearty meal.
Okayish Korean sushi, Hengbok Kimbap, not as exquisite as the Japanese version (also served here). Superb sashimi (which my sashimi expert guest loved)
Even the Japchae (sweet potato glass noodles) were light and tasty, though looked like a gloopy mess.
Deep fried and almost ketchupy chicken starter,
Special dishes have been created for vegetarians and some lack flavor (the lacklustre pancake and glutinous dimsum). The tables being placed too close to each other, a closed up basement level are some of the minus points
There is a cook-it-yourself drama on the table (large hot pots, barbecue plates), there are spicy, garlicky blasts in the food, plenty of non vegetarian (Belgian pork belly, beef, octopus, squid), there is Japanese sushi and sashimi too. Though special dishes have been created for vegetarians, this is not exactly a vegetarian mecca. But it's a great new introduction to Korean food paired with the Korean Jinro Shoju (must try). We are happy that Heng Bok (happiness) is here!

Indian multi-cuisine
Kya naam hai! Full marks. Can you think of a better name than "Tiffin box etc" for a casual eatery that swiftly serves many an Indian regional cuisine through the day and home delivers too? I have the perfect guests to help me check it out, not only are they Sindhi, Maharashtrian and Gujrati but also well-traveled, discerning foodies.
Having just returned from Peru, they are planning their Belgrade and Iceland trip.
While Dr Raju Khubchandani has pioneered pediatric rheumatology in India, writing is his passion and I am riveted by the iconic child-care book he is co-authoring with Dr RK Anand. Shaila Khubchandani, a surgical pathologist of repute, actually finds interpreting Kidney biopsies relaxing as she does looking after their home .We eat our way through the menu, our review follows…
Doodh ka dabbas, bicycle tyres, kettles, caricatures (you get the picture?) adorn the canteen-like space. Tables and benches, open kitchen, paper mats et al.
They take the "etc" in their name very seriously and serve it all… from Awadh to Bengal to South India and even Birmingham, chaats, idli, upma etc etc. Surprisingly it's the juicy, succulent kebabs (seekh and murg pudina tikka) that come up tops. Must trys…Robustly spiced Balti Birmingham curry, flavorsome Nalli Nihari and Lamb Koshe Mangsho. Go for the
Mustard infused rawas tikka (the most expensive dish at Rs350). However, the fish curry and the chicken makhanwala are just about okay, but the bhakri is superb.Wind up with the delightful Paan icecream and sugarfree gajjar halwa. VFM meal served in a tiffin box ( veg Rs 350, non veg Rs 420) curry, dal, three chapatis, rice and a sweet. Lunch buffet (Rs 414 for 10 dishes) too.
Uncomfy seating. It can get very noisy.Patchy dishes lacking flavor. Slushy Chettinad chicken, stodgy veg kabab.soggy chappatis served in foil. But the biggest disappointments are the lackluster saibhaji and the tasteless Sindhi curry. No alcohol.
This casual, quick service, open through the day, three month old Tiffin Box etc is somewhat light on the wallet ( Av meal for 2, Rs 1000) but can be heavy on the tummy with it's many a curry and gravy. Its vast and ambitious menu tries to put all the complex cuisines of India into a Tiffin dabba and falters in doing so. While it does not warrant a special trip across town, Tiffin Box etc, a contemporary dhaba is perfect for a quick desi meal, snack etc for the office goers in the BKC vicinity.

I am writing this right after a delicious Iftar dinner, thanks to Janhavi and Shan Mohammed giving me the lead about the brand new "Royal Flavors" (Oshiwara 26320600). So I called in for home-delivery (advance notice needed) for a few of their signature dishes. It was the pounded meat and wheat Mutton haleem (Rs 245) the fragrant kache gosht ki biryani (Rs 290) and flavorsome Khubani ka meetha (Rs 110) which worked the magic for us.
Review: Picante
Vegetarian Italian, Mexican
Shudh vegetarian goes global and upmarket in Breach candy. It also crosses the Indian borders (or does it?) to serve Mexican and Italian cuisines. I lunch with a gourmet veggie twosome: a former state level badminton champion, the multi-talented, lovely Jayshree Sanghi of India's fourth generation automobile pioneering family is not only a Kathak dancer (trained under Padmashree Sunaina Hazarilal) but a creative cook whose dinners are legendary. Equally sporty (US champ in racquetball and squash) Navin Deo, having spent 40 years in a high profile US government job is back in India and making Impactroses which have been in huge demand. Im bowled over by his long stemmed roses (see pic)with their personalized gold embossed messages on the petals. We eat our way through the entire menu: result? the roses and the giant cookie dessert are the only highpoints of our lunch.
Happy surprise. The second floored restaurants pleasant ambiance with pale purple sofas, yellow-cushioned chairs with wooden geometrical frames, simple black-and-white caricatures, and graphics.
Along with their ala carte Mexican and Italian menu they offer daily (except weekend dinners) a "Sunday food festival" (Rs 999 for one) you can order all 28 dishes. But we are told very strictly that it cannot be shared. So we get 2 of these and plenty a la carte ones too. The Picante Pizza (even a wheat-watchers one,) al dente aglio olio and lasagna pass muster. It is the giant, freshly baked gooeycrisp cookie topped with warm chocolate sauce, and the moistwarm Molten Chocolate Cake that saves the day.
Desi palate tuned fare, with plenty of cheese and ketchup.Soggy nachos, ketchupy Habanero Cottage Cheese, ditto for the quesadillas
Burrito lacks punch, overdressed salads, a strange Arabic pizza and so on. And on. No alcohol.
Open through the day, pleasing ambiance, well-presented food, attentive service are the plus points. Sure! a restaurant is in the business of making money and has to cater to all tastes but except for a few dishes, the vegetarian Italian Mexican fare bends over backward to please the Indian palate and tips over to become a mish mash of Gujjutalian and Mexidesi. Tasty no doubt!

Review: MAINLAND CHINA ASIA KITCHEN
Image Posted on Updated on
Pan Oriental
We are excited. It's a brand new 6 week old restaurant. I swoop down with eight of my blind dates( foodie readers who Id never met except over twitter and instagram).This Pan Oriental casual eatery has been newly born to the established 20 year old "Mainland China" family. Its more Oriental than Chinese. It's more casual. More affordable. Is it worth going to? Nine of us troop down, eat, tweet and instagram for three and half hours. Our review follows…
DÉCOR We all love the mega-voltage energy of the colorful ambiance. Ride up the escalator in the gleaming Oberoi mall and walk into a vibrant, high-ceilinged hall. Buzzing open kitchen, Oriental grocery shop front décor, with a retail shelf hanging over the kitchen fitted with long ladder on rails, walls plastered with street scenes of countries of the Far East.
FOOD On the subtle-to-blunt spectrum, the food here falls almost smack in the middle. It serves up the popular dishes of Mainland China and also some Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Burmese ones. Robust flavors gallop across our taste buds, be it the Dynamite tofu (lives upto it's name) the crisp sambal fish made more lively with salsa and intensely flavored Black pepper chicken. Chatpatta Kimchi rice too. Flavorsome curries be it the Thai green or the Burmese Khao suey (complete with crunchy condiments) here. Amongst the more subtle and steamed dishes the plump chicken suimai is worth trying, but it's maestro Chef Rajesh Dubey's the unerringly cooked Seabass sparkled with Tamari sauce and presented with panache that dazzles.Infact, creative presentation marks many a dish… eg balls of dynamite tofu served in a Martini glass. Desserts are above par, but it's the feathery sponge that is drizzled with luscious sweet caramel to wickedly flavorful effect
MINUS POINTS Gloopy sushi , undercooked prawns in the Thai curry, lackluster Mee Goreng lamb and the Korean Bulgogi (we try the mock meat version) is not authentic but tasteless too. A thick sticky skin clasps the vegetarian dimsum. We try booking ahead, but because of their no reservations policy, end up waiting for our table. When full (like it is when we visit it) the restaurant can get very noisy.
MY POINT A brilliant concept, executed with gusto and delivered in a vibrant, high ceilinged ambiance, bar et al. The food is a mixture of appealing and ho-hum. But it almost always delivers high-impact flavors (well presented plates) at relatively low-impact prices, (Rs 1000, meal for 2).
Anjan Chatterjee's Mainland China's Asia Kitchen is not about fine dining, but Fun dining.
MAINLAND CHINA ASIA KITCHEN, Oberoi mall, Film city Road, Goregaon East. 28423141 9322249924 Open lunch and dinner RATING FOOD 3.5 SERVIE 3.5 DÉCOR 3.5
Whoa! Take a look at the photo and you 'll know what fun 9 strangers can have together simply because we are foodies. I invite them over twitter and instagram and they travel from far and wide. I love meeting each one…from the corporate lawyer and chef to belly dancer by passion. Kavita Tejnani certified Yoga Instructor, finsancial insurance advisor, thoughtfully brings Sindhi sweets and a thank you note.Passionate belly dancer, Chitra Kannan the Vice President of a packaging company , Jyoti Narula Ranjan @jnrispartof techie turned entreprenuer is now building @SynTalk. @priyahgandhi a corporate lawyer between jobs and @theglobalfoodie Urvika Kanoi a classically trained chef from LCB ( setting up her own restaurant soon) all share their views. The fit foodie @KamathGurudutt and the HR professional @elsonsequiera are the two gallant males amongst us. Adding even more fun to the lunch is Perzen Patel better known as @BawiBride, a Marketing Manager by day and Parsi caterer/food blogger by evening. Needless to add all of us love to cook, eat, tweet, blog, instagram and yes we all enjoy Mainland China Asia Kitchen.

Vegetarian Burmese and Tea salon
It's largely pleasurable. It's satisfying. It gets our unanimous vote. It does so not only because like our brand new Prime Minister " vegetarian chhe" but because this 2 week old, brand new Burmese (hold your breath) pure vegetarian eatery deserves it. The arguments about authenticity (Burmese cuisine is predominantly non vegetarian) could go on forever. But what comes to the table delivers pleasant surprises.And bowls over the dyed-in-the-drool gorgeous vegetarian gourmet Mandira Bedi. She's so magnetized by this vegetarian arrival, that she makes time from her TV shows, corporate events, charity work and designing stunning sarees to drive across town to dine here. The other committed and well-traveled vegetarian gourmet is the London based hot shot lawyer Sunil Sheth, who heads up the most unique international charity (Princess Anne, grand patron) for those with the double disability of being deaf-blind. He is here in India to expand charitable activities. And the ever-helpful Mandira gives him many a brilliant suggestion over a fun-dinner.
Walk past the bar (No! alcohol, please note) into the earthy-wooden-toned room which has skilful patches of vibrant color. From (backlit) parasols hanging upside (on the ceiling),a wall with a "Prayer Wheel", splotches of color of Burmese laquerware et al. Free wifi, and a TV screen too. Not super fancy, but thankfully not overcute thematic either.
Never mind if they don't use the Burmese cuisine's predominant non vegetarian ingredients, fish oil et al. They coax masterful flavors from Chilli oil, onions, garlic coconut and Burmese spice mix Yessa. The must trys? Salads …crunchy with Achow nuts and tangy with chilli oil and lemon. Be it the zingy ginger salad, the chatpatta raw mango or the fermented tea leaf laphet salad.
Flavorsome thin peppery broth and the "samuza hincho" baby samosas dunked with carrot cabbage and capsicum, are delightful. The two young, dynamic Marwari owners,Ankit Gupta and Chirag Chhajer ensure that every last detail is perfect.
In the mains, go for the uniquely tasty creamy coconutty rice with the contrast of peanut tomato chutney. The ever popular (originally breakfast dish) oh no (Burmese for coconut) Khao suey coconut curry with noodles and condiments (fried garlic, onions, nimbu etc) just about passes muster and could do with more punch. Mandira is particularly thrilled with the Red Velvet, and the large wedges of tasty desserts from Sanah Ahuja's Crumbilicious.
The biggest let downs are the stuffed doughy, hard buns (Paukse). Okayish Pyan Boo Palata (paratha) with a corn coconutty mash. Hard tofu stir fried with tofu and lacklustre Burmese Falooda too. It can get noisy and there is no alcohol.
This mid-priced (Rs 1500 for 2) new Fort eatery distils the spirit of Burma in it's earthy, wooden interiors. Though not authentic to this low impact cuisine's non veg fundamentals, it still serves up deliciously surprising textural contrasts and flavors in it's vegetarian spread. It pays great attention to detail (imports sunflower seeds, teas to chopsticks). The soups and salads (love them) score over the mains. It is a winner, but will this new Tea salon and vegetarian eatery (like our vegetarian Prime Minister) continue to deliver? I toast it with my favorite cup of "Monkey picked Oolong tea" and surely hope so.
Thanks for flooding me with feedback on this 2 week old Burma Burma. @chingypatel ("loved it" "the tealeaf salad is an acquired taste in the beginning, but grows on you") @panktiv ("loved the tealeaf salad…said its like Burmese bhel" (I agree) @meau01 ("Very inexpensive")@mohidkadri ("yummy and so tasty salad") @elisha_saigal ("food is good.
