I moved from the suburbs of Maryland into the lovely city of Washington D.C. but I seem to never be able to enjoy this beautiful city because my head is constantly down. I've been a victim of street harassment since I had on a training bra but never to this extent. I went from driving everywhere easily getting to point A to point B to walking and biking everywhere and experiencing catcalls constantly. I've recently become more invovled in the issue of street harassment and have a true burning passion to try to put an end to it. I believe there is a way to stand up to these perpentrators without escalating the situation. After being harassed on my way to tutor at an Elementary School around the corner from my house, I, for possibly the first time ever, looked the guy in the eye and told him to not "fucking" speak to women that way and he laughed at me. While the word "fucking" should not have been used, but nevertheless when I passed him on the way back he didn't dare even look up at me. I got home and thought more about what happened. I realised that it's important to keep your composure to effectively get your point through to the harasser. I also realised that there it's almost impossible to do that by yelling something back, or giving the person the finger. So I sat down at my computer and typed up some words which eventually led me to making a flyer to hand to the street harasser. What I do is I fold the piece of paper up very small , so perhaps when I hand it to them they think I'm giving them my number. I look them in the eye but with no emotion. The time it takes for them to un-fold the piece of paper gives me enough time to distance myself from the person, possibly be out of sight. I wouldn't do this on a train, bus or at night when no one's around but most of the time I'm harassed is in daylight on the street. I've been to many city's and I've never seen harassment so intense as it is in D.C. I think it's important to put information directly in the perpetrators face. Yes, there's the street harassment ad campaign in D.C. which I appreciate, but you cannot make someone read those signs. You can make a website dedicated to to end up street harassment but you also cannot make anyone read that. So with the flyer, maybe they read it or maybe they crumble it up, spit and stomp on it. But the point is that they see it and maybe some of these people will just think about it for a moment. I could go on an on about this as I'm sure a lot of people could, but I'll stop here. Thanks
I was walking home today and an unpleasant thing happened. It made me kinda angry and I felt like doing something about it. So here is my short story, fueled by my desire to end street harassment:
I live in Queensland, Australia in a respectful, middle-class, and reasonably safe suburb of Brisbane. It is currently 1.26pm on a Tuesday afternoon. I'd say the temperature was a warm 25 degrees Celsius. For this reason, I chose to wear a singlet, shorts, and runners to my morning at university. When I was walking home, an unpleasant thing happened. A car full of young men drove past and yelled out to me. This has happened many times before, which is a sad fact in itself. I'd been previously been yelled to "show us ya tits", "gimme a piece of that", or just simply "nice ass". Each time this has happened it leaves me feeling insecure, unhappy, and a little bit guilty for something. I've wondered whether I should dress the way I do, if maybe a longer skirt would have prevented it, or if I'd walked down a side-street instead of the highway things might have been better. But now I've realised I shouldn't have to think these things. I shouldn't have to adjust my lifestyle to accommodate for sexual harassment.
The big thing is, I've never known what to do in these situations. I'm not good at thinking up witty retorts and even if I was, maybe something worse would happen if I yelled back. Its incredibly frustrating to feel so powerless against something you detest. However, I've discovered the Hollaback! campaign after being particularly enraged this afternoon.
When a car full of young men drove past me this afternoon, they yelled at me to "get in the car" and drove away laughing. As usual, I didn't understand the point of this (what did they hope to achieve? Did they think it was funny? Did they actually want me to get in the car and do… what exactly?). But this remark was more offensive than any I had experienced before. This is because abduction, particularly towards young women, is a serious problem and cracking jokes about it is something I just can't understand or appreciate. I'm sick and tired of being on the receiving end of these comments. If these actions are becoming normalised and accepted as part of everyday life, I won't be able to feel safe, secure, or happy whenever I leave the house.
The Hollaback! campaign has my full support to end street harassment.
Hopefully one day I can wear a pair of shorts, a singlet, a skirt, or whatever I want without the fear of being harassed. Maybe one day someone will yell to me "I love your dress!". I'd be ok with that.
These guys on the bus are threatening a young woman on the bus for seemingly no reason.
I studied abroad in Spain last summer (I am originally from the U.S.). While in Segovia, a relatively safe and suburban city, my roommate and I experienced daily street harassment, in the form of a greeting typical to Spain: "Hola, guapa" or "Hello, beautiful". At the beginning, we found it charming; it was always in the middle of the day, they kept their distance, it was very non-threatening behavior, and it is just a custom of that region. Towards the end of the trip, however, our impressions began to change. We were there during festival seasons, and everyone seemed to be much rowdier. We are both very chesty girls, so that was the focus of all the harassment – once a man came up to us and just said "pechos" ("breasts" – oh, how well spotted). One evening, around 8pm, we were walking down the streets and talking about how we were growing tired of the male behavior (this was just after a man older than our grandfathers passed us on the street and gave us the lingering "up-down" glance while licking his lips). We saw a young man walking towards us with a shit-eating grin on his face, we knew he was going to be inappropriate, so we just ignored him and continued talking to one another. As he got closer, he continued to smile and began gesturing to his chest. In my head I thought "ha-ha yes, we have breasts, thanks for pointing out the obvious". We were both very pointedly ignoring him, but right as he passed us he said, in English "really big tits" and kept walking. My friend and I both stopped immediately in our tracks and our jaws dropped. We were both so mad we actually could not move for a few moments, by which time he had already moved on. I loved Spain and would go back in a second, but it kills me that this experience, as well as the other street harassment moments are the ones that I remember most vividly.
Was walking to a tram stop at night when someone yelled across the street: "lesbian, I'll fucking kill you!" I looked back and there was a group of four people, continuing to yell "freak" etc. I felt pretty intimidated and anxious and not in the mood for confrontation so I just walked faster.
When the tram arrived they also got on. I sat a good distance away from them but not far enough to escape hearing their calls to "sit on [their] face" and loud discussion of how they were going to "rape" me. I'd like to say I had a witty comeback but in reality I just felt shite and tried to ignore them til I could get off.
Luckily I have not had to deal with street harassment like I did in my 20's, but to this day (and I am 50 now) I remember the unreal awful terrifying and constant harassment I faced daily just trying to get to my job. I had just moved to Los Angeles and had to take a bus to downtown and then walk four blocks to my job. Daily I was yelled at followed, called mamma cita, watch men touch themselves….I felt vulnerable and terrified. It never stopped and it was horrific. Back then there were no "purple shirts" which are prevalent now in downtown which are bike security guards, but I really was on my own. I think that harassers need to be arrested because more than likely they have raped someone in their past or present. I think harassment is a sign of potential violence towards women and needs to be considered at least a misdemeanor.
I was walking home from work. It was not even dark outside. A man walking towards me had a shifty look in his eyes. I immediately got a bad feeling but kept walking which was a huge mistake. Right before he got to me he said "nice boobs" and grabbed my chest and ran off like the coward that he is. This was years ago but I never forgot it. Now I am paranoid when I walk down the street even though I don't live in the same city. I did report it to the police and they accepted the report without fail but they never "caught" the guy. After it happened I ran home and I had this overwhelming feeling of disgust. I wanted to vomit, it made me feel so violated.
no comments
I walk the same few blocks in my city almost daily, and had never felt unsafe until a few weeks ago. I was on my normal route, with my music playing in my ears. I keep it low just to be aware of noises around me, which allowed me to hear vague yelling. I pulled one earbud out and looked around. There was a silver sports car with two guys in it right behind me, and the driver was yelling something out of his window. I didn't hear much except "… fine ass, baby!!" Not knowing what else to do, I put the earbud back in and kept walking. The car then pulled into a driveway a few metres ahead of me. I did not know what to do. I stopped in my tracks, took my earbuds out, and waited for their next move. This was in broad daylight on a fairly busy street! The passenger door opened, and I glanced at the houses around me trying to assess where I could potentially go for safety. Thankfully, a door opened in a house across the street and a man stood on his porch pointedly staring at the car. The driver must have seen the man, as he yelled to the passenger to "get in the car!" The passenger got back in the car and the car sped away. I waved at the man on the porch and continued on my way, albeit with my heart pounding a little harder and a much more wary eye on the street.
I was delighted to hear of your website – what a wonderful idea.
I also thought it would be so freeing to share my stories. Don't know if they will be very relevant, because it is a collection, but I decided to share anyhow. Keep in mind that I am an ordinary looking girl, quiet and modest in dress and demeanor. I am only reporting incidents that took place in the street or on public transport.
As a child of age 7-8:
• Two boys of about 10-11 followed me home along the road and tried to pull down my pants (I was wearing a dress). My parents later tracked them down and spanked them!!
As a teenager aged 13-16:
• while buying something at a roadside kiosk, a young man behind me reached between my legs;
• when at farmers markets I had men try to put hand on my backside (more than once);
• when walking down the street on my way home after school, a young man blocked my way, and asked where I was going. I said, "home". He said, "where is home?" I randomly pointed to a stranger's house across the street and said, "there!" I proceeded to march across the street while the man grabbed and slightly tore a frill on my blouse, and also tried to grab my hair. I opened the garden gate (fortunately unlocked), and walked right into the backyard of the unknown house. The young man finally let go when I pushed inside the gate. A surprised child was playing in the yard, and his kind mother let me call my mom to come get me and drive me home. After hearing the story my mom was very angry and wanted to track down the man who had harassed me, but I was terrified and begged her not to.
As a young adult ('20s):
• Was flashed when walking the gardens of a public park.
• When riding in crowded tram, standing and holding onto an overhead grip, felt man press his body against mine from behind – uggggghhh! But unable to move because it was so crowded, and I couldn't clearly see who was doing this. Felt helpless and so angry at that disgusting man.
• When walking through the edge of a public park, a man walking towards me suddenly reached up and put his hands on my breasts as he passed me.
• (This next story has a satisfying ending): I had recently attended a 1 hour self-defense presentation at my workplace, and was reading a book as I rode the subway home (BART). I noticed out of the corner of my eye, that the man seated next to me had put his hand on the seat, and was gradually inching it closer and closer to my leg as I read. I realized he was planning to touch my leg. My first instinct would have been to move, but because of that self-defense presentation, I decided to stay put because to move would be to just give in. I watched the hand s-l-o-w-l-y move closer until finally it brushed against my leg – and at the moment I instantly slapped his hand hard, and loudly said, "Get your hands off me, you creep!!!!!" Then I went back to reading my book (of course, not seeing a word on the page! ) The man pulled his hand back and cowered into the corner of the seat, and said, "Sorry!" I hoped that my response might cause that man to think twice before doing that to another woman.
These incidents seem very minor, but the fact that they stand out so much in my memory shows that sexual harrasment is no joke and truly causes harm.
one comment
I was walking down the street on Friday night by myself. I was on my way to a bar to meet my boyfriend and some of his friends. I was dressed like any other college girl would be dressed on a Friday night. I had on a relatively short dress and high heels. Now I'm a strong believer in the idea that what a person is wearing shouldn't matter and doesn't mean a woman or a man is asking to be violated. But in this case what I was wearing does have something to do with the verbal assault I endured. The dress I was wearing was black and white with horizontal stripes. As I was walking a man probably in his 50's made a comment to the group of men he was with about the girl dressed like a referee. I ignored it and started walking faster. The man ran up to me and asked if I was a replacement referee for the football game tomorrow. I politely said no and started walking again. He proceeded to tell me he was joking, probably because he thought I was too dumb to figure it out on my own, and said "You look very pretty, good for you." As I walked down the street I counted all of the men that said something or looked at my body as I walked past them. I counted at least 10. The street harassment that takes place at Penn State is outrageous and it happens to more women than anyone thinks. Men think its ok to comment on what a woman is wearing or how she looks, and its not. I was disgusted with the men that were commenting on my outfit and my looks, they invaded my personal space and made me feel unsafe. No woman should ever feel like this when walking down the street. The streets should be safe for everyone.

In 2005, Rachael suffered 2 (two!) aneurysms and had a little girl in 2011. Rachael tells her remarkable story to Melbourne Mum:
"It was 13 May 2005. I was leaving our Sydney apartment, on the way to my freelance graphic design job in the city. Steve, my boyfriend (now my husband) had already left for work and was due to fly home to the UK that night. I didn't make it to work that day, and Steve never made it to the UK. All I remember is walking down to the ferry and feeling this incredible sudden rush of fluid to the base of my skull, heaviness, and then collapsing. I later learnt I'd experienced a brain bleed from a berry aneurysm, which had probably been there since birth, had burst.
Fortunately for me, it was peak hour and I happened to be walking next to two people who called the ambulance and stayed with me until it arrived. Neither of them had mobile phones and had to run to the convenience store at the ferry wharf to make the call.
There were so many 'what ifs' that day. 'What if' it had happened at home? I would have been on my own and quite possibly no one would have known. 'What if' it had happened the next day when the NSW Ambulance Service went on strike?
While I was lying on the pavement, drifting in and out of consciousness, I remember thinking "Why can't I move? What the hell is happening to my head?" I was carted off by ambulance to the hospital. I remember waking up in the ambulance and looking at the ambo's face. He just smiled at me and I closed my eyes again. Somehow I told them to call Steve and my parents. I can't imagine getting that phone call. To be told your daughter or girlfriend is in a critical condition and you need to get yourself to the hospital, fast. I can't remember much more after that.
Soon after, I had an emergency craniotomy on the front left section of my brain. A slice was taken out from my skull and wedged back in like a jigsaw piece once my aneurysm had been clipped. My first piece of platinum jewelry! A drain was also inserted in my skull to drain off excess fluid. I had stitches in my hairline from my ear to the top of my head.
Two days later after a routine CT scan, it was discovered I had another berry aneurysm on the opposite side of my head. This one was bigger than the first. It was suspected this aneurysm had caused the first to explode. After the swelling went down a little, and my brain wasn't under so much stress, I had the second aneurysm coiled, via non-invasive surgery. A specialist surgeon feeds a tiny tube through your groin all the way through your body, which somehow miraculously ends up in your brain at the exact site. Coils are then released to block or fill up the space where the berry aneurysm had been (getting fuller by the year), so that blood and neurological fluid can continue to flow past the site. This process is 80 to 85% successful.
I spent 3 weeks in the Brain ICU under some amazing nursing and neurosurgeon care. The morphine I was on meant I was barely coherent. There were no real reasons why my berry aneurysm had burst. There was no family history of aneurysms. I didn't smoke. I was under 30 and relatively fit and healthy.
I was in hospital for four weeks and celebrated my 30th birthday in there (great present, heh?) An endless stream of medical students wanted to question me about my experience and the assorted aneurysms in my head – I doubt they'll ever find out why my aneurysm had decided to burst. When I finally went home to recover, I was in desperate need of a haircut. As you can tell in the photo, a month of rolling around incoherently in a bed spells seriously bad news for long hair.
I was bored out of my brain at home, so was back freelancing 6 weeks later. People were amazed at my experience and many people were too scared to talk about it. The thing is, wounds heal over and the hair grows back but the mental scars remain. I remember listening to an aptly named song at the time by Missy Higgins, 'Scar'. It still makes me well up now.
In late 2005 I had another CT angiogram, which showed the coiled aneurysm was at risk of rupturing as the coils had moved and weren't doing their job anymore. I had a successful surgery to clip it and recovered really quickly as the surgery was controlled and wasn't an emergency operation.
In December 2011, Steve and I had a beautiful baby girl, Mia. My pregnancy was normal. Straightforward. Weirdly, my Obstetricians' rooms were right next door to my Neurosurgeons' consulting rooms. They never consulted as I wasn't considered a high-risk pregnancy. Mia was always 'head down' but never engaged. I went into labour shitting myself, scared, obviously about the labour as it was my first, but also worried that Mia could be born with an aneurysm. My logic was, well, it happened to me so anything is possible.
After 10 hours of getting nowhere fast, Mia's heart rate began to increase, and I was whisked into theatre for a C-section. I knew the likelihood of having a C-section was high as the obstetrician had said he didn't want me to push for too long.
Today, we're all happy and healthy. I have 2 slight dents on either side of my head but you can barely tell. I get scanned every 3 years as a precaution. It took me a few years of getting back on track mentally, finding myself. I'm not sure I really have found myself yet, but I am a lot happier with my life.
Particularly now we're enjoying such a beautiful little soul in Mia."
If you have survived an aneurysm, or AVM, or cavernous malformation and have had a baby after it, I'd love you to be part of this series. Please contact me via my contact page.

MUNNYWORLD: Zipper Pulls (D.I.Y.)Toy [Blind Assortment]
Price: $2.97
No Longer Available
(Get e-mailed if ever back in stock)
Product Details
SummaryPut some style in your zip with our new MUNNYWORLD zipper pulls. This 19-piece mystery assortment features MUNNY, TRIKKY, RAFFY, BUB, ROOZ, and all the things that make their world so fun. Attach these 1-inch characters to your backpack, hoodie, or jacket and introduce them to your circle of friends.
This item is Blind Assortment. What the %@*# is BLIND ASSORTMENT? When you purchase blind assortment figures they come packaged in identical boxes. The boxes are the same in every way and you can not see what is inside! On the side of the boxes will be a list of different possible figures. One of these figures awaits inside the box! The chances of you getting a particular figure are listed as percentage rates on the side of the box. These percentage rates are based on a sealed carton of figures. Some figures are harder to get than others. When you open the boxes the figure will be wrapped in foil. At this point you STILL cannot tell which figure you got! Foil is used to wrap the figure so people don't open the box and peek inside! It is also used so people don't scan the boxes under X-ray machines (Believe it or not, it DOES happen!).
Finally! After peeling through the foil you see which figure you got! If by chance you get a figure that is not listed on the side of the box, Congratulations! You have found a rare 'chase' figure! Some of these figures are so rare and limited that people pay BIG $$ for them (We're talking hundreds here!). Good Luck!

Saragusa did what we're all trying to do now - take control of our health and diet. Although it was a mental struggle at first, Saragusa used Calorie Count (and a few of her own clever tricks!) to track everything she ate. As a result she's over 80 pounds lighter and a lot stronger than she was before.

Sorry Becks, so disheartening after all your work.
Caz I got out of sync with the word game and Geoff's speedos were supposed to follow LYNX as a 'babe magnet' but I suppose TIGER works as well.
I'm not posting fast enough.
OH, Becks,
Did you have any plants in?
BEER (tiger)
Oh yes please Caz. I'll just put the kettle on.
sorry meant CAMELLIA
Have you got their number Geoff.
The wind is quite scarey here at the moment. My photia red robin has just been uprooted. Lucky it didn't fall the other way into the conservatory. I was going to prune it right down in the spring as it cuts a lot of light out. The weather forcast is better tomorrow so I'll cut it right down and replant it. It might survive. It will be a shame to lose it. Hope it hasn't damaged my neighbour's fence (my son and DIL)
Poor Jess and Becks.
There's a lovely site called 'North Pole' that has lots of Christmas activities she might like.
Also one for Geoff. You can go to the NORAD site. It looks out for hostiles invading American airspace. This time of year it tracks Santa's progress across the globe. Just be careful they don't think you are hacking into their computors.
Best of luck with your daughter's move. It's a busy time of the year to cope with a move as well.

I booked this for my husband and our 13 year old son. Since my son was missing school, his PE teacher told him to write about the experience. He wrote that the instructors were super nice, and the experience was "exhilarating!" That about sums it up!
Friendly, timely, good teachers, made the whole experience a fun one.

You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told Ya!
by Slacker And Steve
posted Dec 10 2012 5:21PM
So there is a woman named Zoe in London that was fed up with being single, so she took to the internet to change her status. She met someone online and chatted back and forth for almost a month when they finally organized a lunch date. The only problem was that she had never seen a picture of him but figured it couldn't go too bad. When she showed up to the bistro where the date was, she ran in to her boss who was off for the day. They both were uncomfortable and told one another they were there for a meeting. Zoe sat in the corner waiting for her date but after 15 minutes thought she may have been stood up. She decided to call her mystery date to see what was going on, that's when she realized her boss' phone was ringing. Yep, she set herself up on a blind date with her boss!
Slacker and Steve want to hear the best of the best when it comes to this… Slacker read about a kid that is going to celebrate his Golden Birthday this year by turning 12 on 12/12/12 at 12:12. That is crazy!

Online Beer Retail Innovations Part 2
UPDATE: As of January 15, 2013 Beerjobber stopped taking orders.
This is the second part in a 3 part series (Part 1, Part 3) detailing experiences with using new and innovative online beer retailers. Many physical retailers have sold beer via an online presence for years, but only recently has the model been updated and focused directly on online sales, and sometimes without an affiliated retail location.
I discovered Beerjobber after a mention in a NYTimes.com article. This site's focus is to broker transactions directly between breweries and customers. After an order is placed, it is forwarded directly to the brewery who then packages the beer from their own stock and ships the beer directly to the customer.
I placed an order on a Thursday to get a variety pack from Voodoo Brewing Company in Meadville, PA. This enabled me to try 6 different beers from the same brewery instead of 12 of a single beer (you must order a full case). I ended up splitting the case with Steve so we each got to try 6 different beers with no extras – a great way to use this site if you ask me. Cost worked out to be $7.88/22oz bottle. It shipped the next day on Friday and was delivered to Chicago on the following Tuesday. The box arrived intact in great condition. It was packed as a standard 12 22oz bottle cardboard beer box, set with Styrofoam corners inside a larger box. Also inside the box were 2 extra beer lables (stickers) and a handwritten thank you note from the brewery. The beers all tasted fresh and I really enjoyed the White Magick of the Sun the best.
The main drawbacks of this site are the availability and restriction to a full case. The site seems to only work with smaller breweries that make less well-known beers. There are a few above average choices from time to time, but they might not be included in a variety pack – otherwise you need to order a full 12 case of a beer you might not end up liking. Additionally, due to the nature of the site, they might be an outlet for breweries to get rid of older, less fresh beer (for example "Summer" beers being sold in September).
I am less likely to continue ordering from this site unless they expand to include more breweries with good regional names but limited distribution to Chicago. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Special Guest: Mike Lahti from Figure Eight brewing in Valparaiso Indiana. We talk with Lahti about all things Indiana beer, but specifically Figure Eight's new brewery.
Online Beer Retail Innovations Part 1
This will be the first in a 3 part series (Part 2, Part 3)detailing experiences with using new and innovative online beer retailers. Many physical retailers have sold beer via an online presence for years, but only recently has the model been updated and focused directly on online sales, and sometimes without an affiliated retail location.
First up: LetsPour.com
Founded in Seattle in 2010 as a social wine site, and adding a retail model in 2011, LetsPour combines elements of a Groupon style deal site with a Foursquare style check-in service. The retail portion seems to have been started in an effort to provide good deals on wine (and later beer was added, as the two founders say little about beer in their bios). The retail site is focused on presenting new "deals" on a regular basis (several times a week). Once you signup on the site, you will starting getting daily emails featuring the latest beer deals. There are several ways to reduce the cost of your purchase as well (referrals, coupons, etc). The amount of each beer available seems to be fairly limited and more popular/rare beers listed recently are shown as sold out.
I first decided to place an order through LetsPour after noticing a well targeted ad on Facebook. I decided to order a mix of six different 22oz bombers mostly from Washington state that are difficult/impossible to get in Chicago, but aren't really high end or rare. Shipping is free with 6 bottles and after a $10 coupon the average per bottle price worked out to be $6.38 – a pretty decent price I feel – but without the coupon it starts to get pricey . I placed the order late on Sunday night and while it was marked as "shipped" on Monday, it didn't enter UPS's system until Tuesday and didn't leave Redmond, WA until Wednesday, and thus didn't deliver to Chicago until the following Tuesday. If I order something online, I expect it to be shipped out the next business day at the latest.
When the beer did arrive, it was well packed in a proper horizontal bottle packer. The whole thing was wrapped in a large plastic bag (to contain possible leaks in case of a broken bottle?) and also contained a few disposable cold packs (though after a week in transit, were of little added value). The beers were all intact and in good shape. Upon tasting, all seemed to be fresh and proper tasting.
I subsequently placed a second order when they were offering a few beers that I was looking for not readily available in Chicago. This order was made on a Thursday and was shipped the same day. It was delivered the following Wednesday – appropriate processing time for this order.
The 3rd order I placed on a Friday, it didn't ship until the following Wednesday for delivery the following Tuesday. Way too long a delay in shipping. So 2 of 3 orders were severely delayed in shipping, not a good sign for a place trying to run an innovative online operation to sell beer.
They send a daily email featuring the newest beers available. Occasionally they offer a very rare beer which is usually gone within a few hours (examples select Cigar City beers). However, there is usually a limit of 1 bottle on these beers, forcing you to buy 5 more bottles to fill the box and avoid the $20 shipping charge. I don't care for this practice. If you are going to offer a single rare bottle, you need to make it easy to buy just that bottle, or maybe 2 bottles, and hope that this leads to an organic growth in sales.
Overall, a decent experience and I would probably continue buying from them if I am looking for specific or more rare beers that don't come to Chicago easily. 4 of 5 stars.

We have been searching for a good gluten free bread recipe to make at home. My daughter has been trying at least one recipe a week. This recipe is the best so far. It is light and moist, not dense like the other recipes she has tried.
I have tried so many bread recipes and most of them were fails. I found this recipe today, in an online search, and it was so different from any of the others I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! This will be my go-to sandwich bread from now on. I love everything about it; texture, mouth feel, rise, taste, ease of preparation and the perfect slices I achieved with my electric knife.. Thank you so much for publishing this terrific recipe.
This is my go to recipe for gluten free bread. Can this recipie be doubled for two loaves?
Wow! Just made this and just finished having a sandwich with this bread. Made and used the GF flour mix at the bottom of the recipe and followed directions precisely. This bread is amazingly good. Wonderful texture, soft, not dense or grainy. Will be using this recipe often! Thank you!
I made this yesterday using rapid rise yeast (just skipping the first step and incorporating all the ingredients in the mixer) and it turned out perfectly. The bread was flavorful and tender, slicing like a dream without crumbling or falling apart. It also toasted nicely for sandwiches and today I'm even using the leftovers to make French toast. The recipe was very easy to follow and the results much tastier and more economical than the flavorless, overpriced gf breads at the store. Such a welcome treat to make a quick sandwich bread without elaborate "bread flours" or waiting for hours or days for a dough to rise in the refrigerator using more complicated gf recipes. Thanks to the LOL test kitchen!
Instead of the milk can you use coconut milk or just plain water? Thanks!
I have been looking for a recipe like this for a long time!
I just made this for the first time this evening. I only a few months into gluten-free baking for my husband who has developed a wheat allergy. We both enjoyed this. I added 1/2 cup of oat bran and kept everything else as the recipe stated. The bread had a good flavor and the texture was good and can be used to make a sandwich. It was a little too soft/moist but I think that can be fixed by baking just a little longer the next time. I made this using a bread machine.
Amazing gluten free bread! New to gluten free an have tried a few other recipes that were not very edible. This one I made twice and it was awesome. Upped the eggs to three (they were medium size) and a full pack of yeast and my husband noticed it was less crumbly. Thanks for a simple delicious bread recipe!
Is there really no substitute for xanthan gum?
I first made this bread when I took my son off gluten for six months to see if it had any effect on his ADHD. It did not. However, this was the best of several gluten free loaves we tried. It was not super grainy like many of the others, not to mention the store bought loaves! Now I bring a loaf to my hair stylist, since she has a true gluten allergy. She LOVES it ! Thank you for such a fine recipe.
Is the flour blend a mixture of brown and white rice flour or just white rice flour?
Is there a substitute for xanthan gum?
I wonder If I can use potato flour instead of starch
This was my first time making gluten free bread, and it turned out beautifully! The taste is really nice. I don't need to be GF, but some of my family does, so this a nice alternative for family dinners.
My loaf rose well in the pan but then sunk flat in the middle whilst baking, any ideas why? I didnt open the oven while baking and pretty sure I followed the recipe fairly accurately using the flour mix suggested.
This is a great recipe for gluten free bread. It is so easy and simply delicious. Since I don't have a stand mixer I just use my hand mixer and it turns out great. It is excellent toasted! You will never, ever eat the tasteless and dry breads available for sale at the supermarket again.
I have been struggling to find a viable GF bread recipe that tasted like 'real' bread. Just eating my first slice and it's fabulous! More to come :-)
This is such an easy recipe, and my girls LOVE it. They hate it when I have to substitute store bought gluten free bread. My oldest, who is 9, can make this recipe with very little assistance. We even have our nanny eating this bread and skipping her traditional sandwich bread. I do add a little honey to the recipe, and decrease the sugar a little.
This bread was fantastic, and even better the next day, which is a rare in the GF bread department. Its soft, has good flavor and made excellent sandwiches. And worked for french toast as well! I'm thinking it would make great hamburger buns.Due to allergies to dairy and eggs, these are the changes i made. I used 2 tsp of The Vegg+1/2 cup of water = the 2 eggs. Used vegan 'butter' and soy milk, and exchanged the xantham gum for psyllium husk powder.
My 12 year old son loves to bake, he made this bread,and it came out beautifully. Would love to post a picture, but don't know if we can. Thanks
I found this recipe and i loved the simplicity of it and good reviews, so, i tried it and follow it step by step but the bread never raised? I got a good quality active dried yeast...the taste of the bread is beautiful but the texture is terrible. What could i have done wrong? Thanks.
Just finished mixing this bread recipe - it was so thick. I mean REALLY thick, Added almost 2 cups of water so I could finish mixing. Right now it is raising, hope it is something I can eat when all is said and done.
On Jan 22 2014 Pris left a comment for which no one responded. I too have the same question. My father-in-law is incredibly talented in the cooking and baking field but dispite all of his efforts, the bread either collapses when cooled or comes out dense with a hard crust and too much moisture. I sent him this recipe and his response was:"Yeast batters don't work because there is no gluten to give the batter structure. They deflate. They bake beautifully only to sag away as they cool because of no gluten" He uses baking soda, baking powder and vinigar instead of yeast.What are your thoughts about making the best gluten-free bread? Do you have a favorite recipe that you could share with me?I look forward to your reply.
Your simple recipe is perfection !
Finally a GF free that tastes, feels, and behaves like normal bread! Our daughter had to be put a GF 4 weeks and I have been trying to get a half decent loaf of GF bread baked at home from scratch and have been failing at every attempt. This one is fantastic! The only alteration I made was with the xantham gum, I didnt add any to the flour mix. To replace it I use 1tsp of dry chia seeds per cup of flour mix and mix them with 3 times the amount of boiling water, let it thicken and add to the dough, batter mix. (so in this recipe I used 2.5 tsp(dry) chia seeds mixed them with 2 tbs + 2.5 tsp of boiling water and once it makes a thick paste like substance addded it to the mix along with the eggs and butter). GF bread is so incredibly expensive to buy ($5 per loaf, which are really half the size of a normal loaf of bread). One question. do you know how well and how long this bread will keep in the freezer or in th fridge? Thank you!
I neither have a bread maker or a big kitchen aid with a bread attachment.Can this be mixed with my hand held kitchen aid?I so miss good bread and want to try this.
I have a one pound bread maker. What are the ratios for that size loaf
Made with lactose-free milk and it was delicious!
Hello Cindy. Thank you for this easy to follow recipe. This was the first GF bread recipe I've ever made, so I have a few questions for you. I followed your recipe (including the given GF flour blend recipe) to the letter. I timed everything exactly, and I made sure to check the loaf's temperature for doneness (205 degrees F.) It looks great, but it smells like beer! After it cooled completely, I cut a slice: The inside looks fine, but it smells like beer! The mouth-feel is fine, but...it tastes like beer! (Sorry for my repetitiveness.) Did I over-proof the dough? Is that smell to be expected with GF breads? It's odd because when I did the final stir the dough smelled like mashed potatoes. Though I'm new to bread-baking, I am familiar with the behavior of yeast in gluten bread doughs; and this has never happened with any of those recipes. Can you offer any insight as to what I may have done wrong? Also, is this bread safe to eat? The thought of throwing away something made from expensive ingredients makes me crazy ;-) Thanks in advance for your help.
Haven't baked yet, but rated according to previous reviewers. However, in lieu of milk, using potato water in bread gives a nice texture and flavor. When you next boil potatoes for dinner, save the water. The thicker the 'broth' the better tasting the bread.
I don't give out the 5 star lightly. But, I've tried numerous GF bread/roll recipes, and this bread recipe is SO good that I was concerned I had used regular flour (which I didn't). So, it's a winner with us!I have a Zojirushi bread machine & used that to make the loaf (GF bread setting). I warmed the milk, beat in the egg (to warm them up), added to the machine, melted the butter & added that, and then added all the dry ingredients. Used King Arthur GF flour. Ooops, forgot to add Xanthan Gum, but it didn't seem to matter! Most GF bread recipes are also dairy free & Vegan. I think this makes for dense and/or crumbly breads -- not the tastiest, best textured stuff. People with Celiacs often need dairy free, too...but, we don't. When I searched for GF bread recipes that had eggs, butter, and milk, this came up & I'm glad I tried it!Awesome!
I've made this twice and have been very happy with the results. Best tasting gluten free bread I've made so far Thank you!
Great recipe, tastes just like gluten bread. It also makes an excellent dinner roll if you bake it in a cupcake pan. My family said the dinner rolls made with this reminded them of King's Hawaiian Rolls.
I have made this recipe three times now. I used Pamela's Artisan Flour blend. The batter comes our very thick and dough-like, unlike any other GF bread I have made. The first time I made it, I got excellent oven spring, and beautiful loaf, but it was undercooked and collapsed when I removed it from the loaf pan. The flavor was delicious, though. The second and third times I have had very little oven spring and a very dense, disappointing loaf. I don't understand why it sprang so beautifully the first time but never again.
Do you use UNSALTED or SALTED butter? Can you use Lactose-Free Whole Milk?? I am guessing UNSALTED since salt is another add in ingredient. Please advise.
Loved the bread, as toast or for sandwiches. I only have I question. Does it matter what type of rice flour to use, white, brown, glutinous, sweet rice?
This recipe looks very promising! I'm trying to also eliminate processed sugar from my diet; could honey be substituted instead?
I made this on Wednesday and was very pleased. Like with wheat flour you do have to watch your indoor temperature and humidity, I did not. The second rise was not significant, however, it was slightly over the top of the side of the pan. After cooking exactly 42 minutes, I looked at the bread and it was a beautiful amber color but the rise had fallen a bit. Since I was baking in 70% humidity,, I am guessing I could have used less milk.? On a positive note; the bread was not gooey, it was actually perfect and did not fall apart at all. This is a great loaf of bread!!!!!! Will be making many more loaves.
Closest thing to regular white bread I've tasted since going Gluten Free! THANK YOU!!!!!
I ended up using Bobs Red Mill All purpose gluten free flour and it came out amazing! I am enjoying a piece right now with a little butter on it- yum. I made the mistake of letting it sit in the pan (before cooking) longer than the 20-30 min stated in the recipe so it spilled over the sides of the pan but, came out easily and tastes great.
This is DELICIOUS! I made it for my daughter (she is gluten intolerant), and we struggle finding a sandwich bread that tastes good. (Most I find in the stores are a bit dry and flavorless from being frozen, etc.) I have never made bread before but just followed the directions and it came out delicious. The bread sunk a bit when I took it out, will have to see how to remedy that but it did not affect the taste. I think this is a winner!
I am new to making GF bread & this was super easy and turned out great. I did, however use purchased GF flour blend instead of the recommended GF flour combo. I'm not sure it will work for sandwiches because it does fall apart easily. Do you think it was the flour that creates this affect? I'm searching for a good GF sandwich bread
I am trying this bread this weekend and am very excited about it. I was curious what kind of milk was used. Can I use my Unsweetened Almond Milk or do I need to use 2%?
This is the best bread ever! Even my non GF family loves it! I find it very easy to make and it makes the house smell wonderful. Nothing like the smell of bread in the oven! Thanks for great recipe! I would encourage everyone to try the Land O Lakes GF butter cake. It's great!
I just got a 2lb breadmaker and was wondering if I make the bread in a breadmachine. Do I have to alter the recipe at all?
Is the serving size/nutritional info for 1 traditional size slice or 2 slices? I just made this, looks great. It's cooling and waiting to slice.
I can't believe I have never rated this bread recipe. I've been making it for several years and it is a lovely loaf. Lovely flavor, slices like a dream. Best part is I can make it in my bread machine too! I use the quick cycle that finishes the loaf in about an hour.I just made grilled cheese and tomato on it, yummy!
Hi there,This recipe looks great. Can you use almond flour instead of the GF blend of flours above?:-)
My husband and I LOVED this bread!!! I made it in my bread machine (settings: gluten free, 1.5 lbs and medium crust). I mixed the milk, sugar and yeast and set aside for about 10 min. I mixed the melted (cooled) butter with the 2 eggs. I added the butter and egg mixture to the bread machine, and then I added the flour mixture and made a large well and added the milk/yeast/sugar mixture. I did use a spatula to help in the mixing process (to make sure all the ingredients were well blended). This will my be my go to gluten free bread!!
I made this in my bread maker. I used my gluten free setting on my machine and mixed the flour with the eggs and butter before I put it in the machine. Then I added the milk/sugar/yeast mix and helped it blend in the machine. The only change is that I used bread machine (RapidRise) yeast. The top of the loaf isn't very smooth, but the taste of the bread is excellent. If you come up with a bread machine version that would be good to see, too.
I am making this bread right now! :) I'm curious to know what everyone has done about storage. Is it better to keep this bread refrigerated and hope to eat it quickly, or has anyone found that freezing is a success?
After being told my husband needed to be on a Gluten-free diet, I was amazed at how bad food was from the store bakery. This was such a pleasant surprise. It was delicious, the whole family loved it including my 2 year old granddaughter. I guess I'll be making more homemade bread all the time.
Instead of using the Land O Lakes All Natural Egg, can I substitute for a regular egg?
Just finished making this recipe with my son.. We were hopeful, but kept our expectations in check since we were first time bakers. Surprise, surprise, surprise - the bread came out perfect and tasted amazing. On another note, we used a convection oven and the bread was finished at 40 minutes with a beautifully brown outside and well cooked inside.
Hi, I am in the process of baking this bread and it smells great! From the looks of it, it'll turn out well, but my only issue was when I poured the dough into the pan and covered it with plastic wrap, when the dough rose, it stuck to the plastic wrap and I ended up peeling a little bit of the top off. I don't know how this will affect the crust, but I am wondering what I can do differently to keep this from happening. I did grease the plastic wrap, but my dough still stuck, I think because it was pretty wet. Would you suggest adding more flour to thicken it?
I am new to the Gluten-free community, and I was wondering if brown rice flour works the same as regular rice flour. I want to to use only whole grains.
I have a gluten sensitivity and been trying all sorts of recipes. I was happily surprised, this was very good! Mine did rise nicely but when cooking it deflated some so the top was flat. I think it has to do with the calibration of my oven. Can this recipe be modified by reducing sugar? It was just a little too sweet for sand which bread.
Recently had our 7 year old diagnosed with Celiac and this is the fifth bread recipe that I've tried.... and it's a WINNER!! It is easier than several other recipes I've tried and not as heavy so we are IN LOVE! Don't waste your time on other bread recipes!
Sepi,I assume the taste that you are not enjoying is the garbanzo bean (chickpea) flour that is used in Bob's Red Mill All Purpose... It is an acquired taste, and while I love chickpeas, I do not love the flour (and neither do a large majority of GF people I know). Try omitting the chickpea flour and see if that changes the taste at all.
Hi Shirley, Thank you for sharing the recipes with everyone.I have a question and would be grateful if you could guide me. My boyfriend recently developed gluten intolerance and tried to find a Gluten-Free bread for him, so I tried couple of G-free recipes in my breadmacker (including the one suggested by my bread machine, and some few others with different flours). All results turned out looking great (high rise, beautiful texture etc.) but they had "AWFUL" taste and smell! I just had to throw them out! Though I had bought and tasted prepared G-free bread (like Udi's white sandwich bread) and I thought they tastes wonderful to me! So I was wondering what is the matter with this awful result that I get!!? all my ingredients are Bob's Red Mill and I tasted them in my mouth to see if I can realize which ingredient has that bad taste?!!The recipes I used combined these ingredients:1.Rice Flour (I used whole grain brown rice flour)2.Potato starch flour3.Tapioca flour5.Xanthem6.Salt/sugar/yeast/eggs/milk* In one of the recipies I used 1cup rice flour and replaced the other cup with Bobs redmill G.Free whole purpose flour.I would appreciate if you could help me with this issue.BestSepi
I found this recipe when my first try of making my own version of gf bread ended up as bird food. I'm not sure if the birds or squirrels actually ate it though LOL. This recipe is easy and wonderful. I will only make this recipe as it is sooo good. Since my dtg found out she is gluten and lactose intolerant it has been a real challenge to
Has this recipe been converted to use in a bread machine? Thank you
By FAR the best soft gf soft white bread recipe out there. Tender with that 'stretch' we miss in most gf baking. I ahve made thsi recipe 4 times now and it is my go to recipe. Thank you for a perfect formula for successful bread and rolls.
Amazing! I baked this for Christmas brunch and all really enjoyed it, and I admit it is as good if not better than my wheat version. I did add an extra egg which is really not necessary. Also-be sure to bake for teh ful time as the crust will be brown and center could still need more time if you go by look of the crust alone. Mine was baked perfectly at 50 minutes, but another 2 wouldnt have hurt. I removed it from the pan after 5 minutes and cooled on a rack, but we couldn't wait to try it so slinced into it while stil warn. Spread with sweet butter and had our first taset of heavenly bread. Thank you Land O'Lakes.Next time I will make a cinnamon swirl bread...let yiur imagination be your guide. I am thinking pepperoni bread, cheese bread, herb and garlic bread. Maybe cranberry orange swirl bread for New Years. Yum!!
It was a hit. I made this bread for my fiance last night. He had two sandwiches made from it, when I asked him it how the sandwiches were. He said, ... great! Better than that frozen bread we usually have. He was very surprised to find out I Baked it! Yay!
I just made this recipe and am eating the delicious bread as I write this review. This is the best gluten free bread that I have found. Thanks for posting this!I substituted coconut oil for butter. I didnt have any potato starch so my mix was 2 cups white rice flour and 1 cup tapioca flour.
Very good recipe I used King Arthur gluten free flour and made this into hamburger buns. My husband said to save the recipe for thanksgiving to make gluten free Grands biscuits (that is what they tasted like). I did use 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum in the recipe. I also added 1/2 tsp of vinegar as a dough conditioner. I really liked this bread I will make it into sandwich bread next time. I hate using dry milk powder or egg substitue like so many gluten free bread recipes call for. This was very good I just gave it 4 stars because I did adjust the gum and add the vinegar. I will also add 1 tsp of unflavored gelatin next time because the bread got dry quickly and it's suppose to help retain moisture.
I have tried many gluten-free recipes over the last several years for my daughter who is gluten-intolerant. This recipe rates the highest of ANY gluten-free recipe I have ever tried. My husband tried it and he could not tell it was gluten-free. I will be baking this bread each weekend.
Mine sunk after 15 min of baking :(
I can't believe I finally made a great gluten free bread! The last recipe I made was a brick! All I can say is awesome.
This bread is amazing! Finally a gluten free bread that tastes like "real" bread.I will be making this again and again. It did raise beautifully, had a nice texture, and my house had that wonderful smell of fresh bread in the oven. Thank you Land O' Lakes!
can i put this in the bread machine?
I used an extra tsp of Xanthan gum and it was perfect!! Stayed togethes wonderfully.My only question is how should i be stored? In the fridge, feezer or on the counter in a bread box?Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!
I have tried many gluten free bread recipes but I think think this one is the best!
I used Bob's Red Mill all purpose flour blend and the recommended amount of Xanthan Gum, otherwise followed the recipe exactly. At 42 minutes it was exactly 208 degrees internal temp - done to perfection. If I hadn't made it myself, I would not believe that this is a gluten free bread. Fantastic - so good that I am going to cook a small roast so I can have roast beef sandwiches for lunches this week!
Yeah! Really good gluten free sandwich bread and it makes great toast. It has a slightly yeasty taste, like regular bread.
Due to a GF, no dairy & refined sugar diet I made a few subs. 1/4 C agave nectar / sugar. 1/4 C oil / butter. 1 C coconut milk (gave it a slightly sweet scent & flavor). Turned out wonderful. I think I didn't follow the rising instructions properly because i was using my bread machine to knead & then I transferred it to a regular loaf pan. It did raise to level with the top of the loaf pan, but never went beyond that & sinking just a tad bit. BUT it tastes wonderful! Still has a coarser crumb than glutened breads. Not sure how to fix that.
I tried this recipe this weekend and followed the directions exactly. I wanted to come back and comment on my findings. The bread rose and looked beautiful. The taste of the bread was very good and it did have a nice moistness to it. But the down side is that it is very crumbly. I now have the best ever bread crumbs! I think the problem is the amount of Gum for the 2 1/2 cups of flour is not enough. It would do well to add another teaspoon of Gum to help hold the bread together.
I made this and replaced the xanthan gum with gelatin instead. I can't tolerate the xanthan gum. It still turned out great! Absolutely loved it! Very light, like "real" bread.
For those looking for the perfect gluten-free bread recipe this is it!!! I followed the recipe exactly as written and have to say this is the best tasting bread ever. It's easy to make, rises fast (in case you've made gluten-free bread before you know it takes hours and hours to rise), it was done in onlyl a couple hours. It smells, looks, and tastes like real bread! Try it-you won't be sorry. This is the only bread recipe I will be using from now on!
Made this bread , it rose perfectly , tastes great and slices thinly with an electric knifeFinely a bread that's not a door stop or has no tasteThis is an easy go to bread. Thank You so much for a gluten-free bread everybody enjoys !
I rate this five stars on taste and texture but it did not rise to a full size slice. I will be having half sandwitches that taste yummy. Makes great toast with butter on it. Slightly sweet taste.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow! The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.

Mike Wallace nearly a Bear?
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Mike Wallace thought he was headed to Chicago.
I was always in contact with the [Bears]. It just seemed like that was the most interested team. But I guess not. " -- Mike Wallace, on the 2009 draft
After a standout collegiate career at Ole Miss, the speedy receiver attracted plenty of attention leading up to the 2009 NFL draft from the Chicago Bears, who needed help at the position.
"I used to talk to them the most out of any team," Wallace said Wednesday during the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl media availability. "I was always in contact with the team. It just seemed like that was the most interested team. But I guess not."
Multiple teams told Wallace he'd be selected in the second round, but the wide receiver remained on the board until pick No. 84. Even though receiver was a high priority for the Bears, general manager Jerry Angelo moved out of the second round -- the Bears sent pick No. 49 to Seattle -- and used the first of two third-round choices (No. 68) on defensive lineman Jarron Gilbert.
Angelo then addressed the wideout spot by grabbing Oklahoma's Juaquin Iglesias at No. 99.
Neither Gilbert nor Iglesias remain on the Bears roster.
"The draft is some BS, that's how I feel about it," Wallace said. "When you talk to teams and they were like, 'You're not going any later than the second round,' like I said, I feel like it's some BS. It is what it is. I don't care about the draft. The draft was two years ago, I play for the Steelers now."

And the Steelers couldn't be happier.
Wallace turned in a respectable rookie campaign (39 receptions for 756 yards and six touchdowns) before emerging as one of Pittsburgh's top offensive threats in 2010. He caught 60 passes for 1,257 yards and 10 touchdowns in the regular season.

She'll make him finish what he started—if they live through the night.
Framed and on the run, FBI agent Joe "Hawk" Hawkins has only one chance to clear his name: hit the road for Eagle, Alaska.

She'll make him finish what he started—if they live through the night.
Framed and on the run, FBI agent Joe "Hawk" Hawkins has only one chance to clear his name: hit the road for Eagle, Alaska. Things can't get much worse, until a woman from his past steps into his path. Sophie's a brilliant statistician, pissed off about their disastrous one-night stand—and offering him a deal.
This is Sophie's first field assignment, and the fact that it involves Hawk doesn't make it any easier. She's never forgotten or forgiven the night Hawk found his way to her bed and left her wanting more. Now she's on a double mission to make Hawk finish what he started, and get them both to Eagle alive.
The long Alaska Highway stretches before them, and long nights of sexual fireworks that rival the Northern Lights. Caution turns to trust, and then to a love neither of them bargained for.
With two rogue agents in hot pursuit, though, the end of the road may be closer than they think…
Sophie ignored Hawk's sarcasm and stole surreptitious peeks at him while he leaned against the headrest. Not handsome by most standards. Somewhat rough around the edges with a nose a bit crooked, perhaps from a long ago break. Long, dark eyelashes. Way too long for a man. Eyes the color of a good whiskey with flecks of green. After his time in the wilderness, his dark hair touched his collar, and he sported quite a beard. Looking at him made her panties wet. What was it about this man that turned her on? A man who, by his own admission, wasn't interested in commitment in any way, shape or form. Couldn't even commit to a movie date. And, in all honesty, her niggling doubts as to his innocence wouldn't go away.
"I need clothes. After that, a razor." He tugged on his beard. "This thing's coming off."
Sophie chewed the inside of her lip to keep from laughing. "The beard is perfect. You'll fit right in with all the other Alaskan woodsmen."
"I..." He paused, thinking over what she'd said. "Okay. The beard stays. I need warm clothes. I've been freezing my ass off every night."
Sophie shifted into second gear to ascend the side of the mountain. "I brought appropriate clothes."
A frown knit his brow. "Have I fallen into a rabbit hole? How'd you know my size?"
"I spent time in your closet, remember?"
Out of habit, she checked her side-view mirror and tightened her grip on the steering wheel. What in hell was Stan thinking?
As perceptive as always, Hawk straightened. "What's wrong?" He looked over his shoulder. "We have a tail."
Damn it. She'd kill the idiots. "I see."
Hawk glued his gaze to his side mirror. "Pull onto the shoulder. I'lllose myself in the woods."
"Relax. About five miles ahead there's a picnic area. I'll pull in and we'll see what happens. If they follow us ... well, we'll deal with it."
"Deal with it? How? By shooting federal agents? Shit. I should have ridden in the camper."
Sophie reached over and squeezed his thigh. "Relax. Don't overreact. It's just..."
"Just what, for God's sake? Talk to me."
"It's probably an innocent salesman on his way home for the weekend."
They traveled a few miles in silence. Hawk never took his eyes off the plain dark blue car following. "FBI is my guess."
Sophie cringed. Why had Stan lied to her? Just you and Hawk, he'd said. Until you get to Dan and Maria's.
The driver maintained the same distance behind for the duration. Almost impossible if you hadn't been trained. Sophie braked, slowing for the right hand turn ahead. The car sped by.
"See?" she said. "Nothing to worry about. You're paranoid."
Hawk's only answer was a grunt. Obviously, he didn't believe her.
The truck and camper bumped its way through potholes, over rocks and tree roots. Other than a few picnic tables and a rustic outhouse, the rest area offered no amenities.
She braked at the end of the dirt path and turned the truck to face any incoming cars. Not a great location for a quick get-away, but a perfect place to make a last stand. What in the world was she thinking? "This spot's out of sight of the Alcan. Hawk, the sooner you believe I'm on your side, the better."
The swirling tension in the air grated on Sophie's nerves. Joe Hawkins didn't trust her, and she couldn't blame him. Fortunately for her, at the moment she was his only hope.
"Now what?" he clipped.
Her passenger appeared to be losing patience. If she got lax, he'd bail. Chances of finding him a second time were small. "We wait. If no one shows up, we either stay the night or move on. Your choice."
He leaned back. "Christ, I'm exhausted. I only managed to grab a few hours of rest a day, so I'm sleep deprived."
"Climb in the camper and get some shut-eye. I'll keep watch."
Hawk laughed. "Yeah, right." He caught hold of her chin. His piercing eyes took her prisoner. "Sweet Sophie, I don't trust anyone. You least of all. Once I'm asleep, I suspect the FBI will bust in and haul my ass to prison."
Stubborn man. Sophie fought the urge to slam dunk his balls in the ashtray. She inhaled deeply. "I'll say this once more. You can trust me. Besides, do you think Rueger would let someone step a foot in the camper?" She leaned closer to his warmth and trailed a finger from his thigh to his crotch. A hot memory of their one night together flashed behind her eyes--the night he'd left her unsatisfied. His warm bulge grew beneath her hand. "Or we could find a nice cabin. You can start fulfilling your side of the bargain."
Hawk grabbed her wrist. "Enough with the games. Clear it with killer Rueger. I'll spend the night with him."
Sophie's melodic voice jarred Hawk from a restless sleep. Had his sex-starved body somehow floated to another dimension? Was he hallucinating? He almost groaned his frustration. Hell, he wanted to howl at the moon.
In the moonlight, he held his breath and waited for her next sensual move. Firm, full breasts made his mouth water as she bent forward to peel her jeans over slightly rounded hips. She lifted first one leg then the other to rid herself of the denim. God! Thoughts of those long, smooth legs had driven him crazy over the past eight months. She'd been so hot, so eager. And he'd blundered big time.
He'd never figured a down-to-earth girl like Sophie for the teasing type. Perhaps this was her way to punish him for his faux pas last Christmas.
Heat shot straight to his groin. She lowered her naked body onto the bench seat at the table and brushed her auburn curls with slow precision. In his mind's eye, her body was perfect. He couldn't wait to taste her breasts. With each downward movement of the brush, they teased him with a jiggle. He supposed her hips could be bigger, but he liked her just the way she was.
Electricity similar to the high voltage energy shooting straight to his balls crackled with each brush stroke. A scent that was hers alone tantalized his nose. Unable to stand the erotic torture, he rolled away.
"Bedtime, Rueger."
His cock saluted her sweet voice.
Something cold and wet pressed against his neck. He lurched upright and banged his head on the low ceiling. "Damn it, Rueger!"
"I thought you were asleep." The fake innocence in her voice made Hawk want to put his hands around her throat.
"I was."
"Is that right? I could have sworn I saw flames shooting from your eyes a moment ago. And wasn't that your tongue almost touching the floor while I undressed?"
Burning with sexual need, Hawk was beyond taking offense at her taunts. "Want to see my tongue in action, lady? I assure you it'll make you scream for more."
