Teen Party for 35
My 15 y.o.is hosting a party Friday night for the band. There will be about 35 kids total.
This is what I was thinking of for food, but I would love some input. Too much? Not enough? I was thinking of allowing for 3 sodas per person?
5 lbs of CostCo Buffalo Wings
5 lbs of CostCo Teriyaki Wings
5 lbs of Pizza Rolls
Pasta Salad
Mini Corn Dog Muffins - not sure how many - one batch makes about 40
Mini Baked Ham Sandwiches
Hot Dog Station in the backyard around the fire pit
Velveeta Chili Dip / Chips
Ranch Dressing Dip / carrots, celery, chips
Lots of chips around the place
Chocolate Fountain for dessert
Others will be able to guide you on quantities. Some could depend on the ratio of girls to boys. 1/2 the girls will be concerned about fitting in the uniform and 1/2 the boys will eat anything and everything in sight! My only comment is I'd suggest a cooler of bottled water. You might be surprised how many would forgo soda for water or mix them up.
I might also consider replacing some of the wings or maybe the pizza rolls with a crockpot or roaster of meatballs. I'd also consider a coleslaw, but in fairness, I'm a coleslaw and meatball fan!
Possibly some fruit or something. Although I like the menu, I'm thinking something a bit lighter might fit in well. Except the veggie sticks most everything is fairly heavy. Even a light fruit salad mix or something. But kids will love it no doubt.
Hope you all have a great time!
How long is the party going to be? That would help with the amount of food. I would probably do at least 2 batches of the mini corn dog muffins. For teens they are mouth poppin' size. They may go fast. 3 sodas for a teen...plan on more then that. I would have bottles of water also. You have lots of chips and dips spread out around so that is good. It helps the kids fill up so they aren't just chowing down on the main dishes. Sounds like it is going to be a fun time. Enjoy it! NancyLouise
I'll ask my teen tonight. Agree it depends on how many boys (though girls can eat a lot too!). I'd skip the chocolate fountain (messy, esp. if windy) and just have lots of cookies, brownies, mini muffins for dessert. That's what seems to go over well at Scout events.
Have you considered 6 foot party subs and/or pizza instead of the wings and pizza rolls?
I have two teens (1 of each) soda or pop is not that popular with their friends. Have lots of water bottles. Also many seem to be healthy eaters so go big on the veggie tray and other healthy options.
Compared to when I was young and pizza,wings,and pop were expected at every event, todays teens seem to drink far less pop (soda) and eat much healthier. Also not so many chocoholics. My kids don't seem to really like chocolate that much!
I also agree with the water, although it seems that every teenager I see is either drinking soda or some energy drink.
I also think that more are health conscious, trying to lose weight, etc., so the vegetables are good, and maybe just some fruit, not necessarily a salad, just a selections of apples, bananas, grapes, etc. would be a good addition.
I'd also either keep the pizza cheese only or leave meat products out of the pasta salad so that the vegetarians will have something to eat and I can almost guarantee you'll have a couple.
The chocolate fountain is fun but messy, so be prepared!
Chinese salad always goes at our band parties (we have 65 kids! I love band! I'm a drumline mom as well, grin).
Costco has a good sesame/oriental bottled dressing. Pick up a few heads of iceberg lettuce, green onions, a few cans of mandarin oranges (make sure they aren't from China if you care....), chow mein noodles, sliced almonds.
Watermelon also goes fast.
Gotta love Costco for parties.
JessyF - Fellow Band Parent! My step-daughterâÂÂs school did drum line and we were very involved with that too! This school doesnâÂÂt have drum line :-(, but DD is busy with Jazz so I donâÂÂt know how she would have fit it all in!
Oh! Is it OK to post a link to my daughterâÂÂs Jazz performance last weekend? IâÂÂm just so proud! That is her standing, featured on the Alto Sax. She is only a freshman, so we have 3 more years to enjoy the wonderful band experience.
Thanks for the Chinese Salad idea - I really think the kids will like that.
Here is a link that might be useful: Jazz - If I Could Fly
Wow...Jeri! I am very impressed. I work for a company that does adjudicated performance tours for schools and I say superior rating ;) love - amazing for any age! and great menu, too - the corn dogs are too cute I am going to try that. OH and my nephew is auditioning for NYU's jazz programs. Not sure all parents would be thrilled with that! lol He is in a jazz trio.
I love band kids - they are good kids. Good luck and agree on the water, too.
I asked my DS last night, he said at Scouts the popular things he's noticed are the grinders (subs) and pizza, chips, cookies. Not too many parents bring veggies, fruit, pasta though when they do bring veggies the only ones eating them are the adults, and pasta is only devoured when they are doing a spaghetti dinner fundraiser and there is no other entree, people just don't bring pasta or pasta salad to B&G dinner or Court of Honor.
Now, for cross country/track,it's a whole nother thing (not that I've been or contributed so I'm going by what he told me). There the kids (esp. the girls) go for the fruits and veggies, pasta (carb loading) is big, meatballs would be good though some of the girls are vegetarian, and everyone drinks water.
Sorry, I just don't know about band kids. I know it's tomorrow, good luck and let us know how it goes.
Another drumline mom here! Our band parties are 200 kids for full band; 20 kids for just drumline. Both groups devour pasta, meatballs, lasagna, pizza, fried chicken. The fruit and veggie trays are typically eaten only by the parents who are there as servers. Watermelon is always a big hit, however. Gotta say, though, almost no one goes for the sodas. Water and pink lemonade. Lots and lots of water.
I always grill a bunch of Nancy's Asian boneless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized strips) and serve it cold over JessyF's Cold Soba Noodles. YUM! It always goes quickly. Very quickly.
Desserts...eh, again, eaten mostly by the parent volunteers. Though, the kids will go for chocolate chip cookies or cupcakes. I'll usually make a few dozen cookies and cupcakes.
Party was a HUGH success! Thank you for asking and for all the input.
Food wise - I probably asserted myself when Pizza would have been fine - though I did get lots of âÂÂThank-yousâ from the kids. As mentioned, Band Kids are really a great bunch and very polite too. I was a tad worried with 40 boys & girls, but they were all well behaved.
I made 96 of the mini corn dog muffins and should have made 3 times that! These are super easy to make and the kids loved them. The Pizza Rolls also vanished and I should have had more of them too. The hot wings went well (about 8 lbs), but not the teriyaki (about 4 lbs) - I would have expected the opposite.
The fruit tray was demolished, but not the veggie tray. The Ham sandwiches didn't go well either, which surprised me.
They liked the hot dogs, but I think they liked cooking them over the fire pit outside. :-) The pasta salad was well received too. But the hit of the party was the chocolate fountain - I think as much for the novelty as the yummy dippers.
Soda: Dr Pepper was the favorite by far. I did have plenty of coke, sprite, water and lemonade too.
Thanks again everyone - I really appreciated all the help. :-)
Thanks Chase... That is so nice of you to say. I am so very proud... Somehow, I really got lucky... DD is in love with life, she loves her friends, she loves her school, her teachers, her family, her pets, everything! She is a great student, not because she was born with a high IQ, but because she works hard at her studies. She wants to be her best and applies herself. She is a pure joy and growing way to fast. :-) Her band is off to Chicago in a few days! DD is sooooooooo excited!
Sorry to be late to the party, but it sounds like everyone had fun. The one thing I remember enjoying as a teenager that you brought up was cooking my own hot dog, partly because I did not know what was in it. It's good you got to use your firepit - we tore ours down when we bought the house and put up a pergola in its place, but then we're in a warm climate where a firepit makes no sense - to me anyway.
Lemonade was always my beverage of choice for picnic type meals, and I would make it in concentrate so that I could dilute it as needed. Most of my friends in high school were in the band, but I went to a differen Jr. High that did not have band.
I think I may try the mini-corndog muffins - those look fun! Thanks for posting the link to the recipe.

I was visiting my youngest sister in Orlando (at the time, she was 19 and I was 23) and we went to a sports bar to watch a basketball game. Side note: I always knew she got loads of unwanted attention because she's extremely busty, but I never witnessed it to the extent of that night.
Anyway, the two of us were sitting in a booth, watching the game and minding our own business. She grew uncomfortable because a group of rowdy guys had taken up spots at the bar, which was behind me so I couldn't see, and they were leering at her. After a few minutes, one of the asshats has the nerve to approach our table, and what transpired next absolutely floored me: he giggled and asked my sister, "Excuse me, I don't mean to be forward, but how big are your boobs? If I'm right my friend will buy my drinks for me." My sister and I just sat there dumbfounded, so he kindly repeated his question as though she hadn't heard him.
I was appalled. I said, "are you fucking kidding me? Who the fuck are you? Is this how you try to approach girls? Do you even know how old she is, you asshole!" He got very nervous and started stammering, "I'm sorry, I, I, didn't mean to be rude, b-b-but I wanted to know." I said, "that's none of your damn business. She's 19 years old, you fucking loser, and she's my little sister! Do you have a girlfriend? No, well I'm not surprised because you're a piece of shit."
The jerk had the nerve to continue defending himself as my sister sat there, red-faced. I said, "you don't go round to random girls and asking about their boob size. Learn some fucking manners!" He then skulked back to his table, muttering, as his friends laughed like hyenas. To top things off, he sent a round of beers over to our table, as an "apology," which we left, untouched.
The saddest part of all of this is that my sister said such incidents were (and continue to be, to this day) a regular occurrence for her, and usually her friends just laughed it off instead of coming to her defense. Do NOT laugh this behavior off! It is appalling. Ladies, we must stick up for ourselves! This kind of attention is NOT A COMPLIMENT!

To the school nurse, there is no question that "Roni," a cherub-faced third-grader who tips the scales at more than 90 pounds and stands under four feet tall, is obese. At recess, she struggles to keep up with her classmates in a simple game of tag—panting near exhaustion and calling "time out" early and often.
"The poor baby has it bad," says Carla Hostos, part-time nurse for Roni's Newark, N.J., school district. "Problem is, her mom thinks those rolls are baby fat. She insists that back in her country no one wants their kid to be skinny and sickly looking. What can you do?"

Whether or not you inherited Mami's hair color or her dark, deep-set eyes, the Latina way of taking on more than we can bear and putting everyone else's well-being before our own was passed down almost like a genetic code. But holding it down—sucking it up and enduring every curveball life throws at us, whatever the costs—has its downfalls and may cause other areas of our lives to suffer.

Sexual health is not merely the absence of disease or illness. It's a state of physical, emotional and mental well-being in relation to your sexuality. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, and, most importantly, it means being knowledgeable about your body and knowing where to turn for more information.
Here are a few important things Latinas can do to maintain good sexual health.

On Sunday, the United States House of Representatives passed a historic piece of legislation; a healthcare reform bill that promises to extend coverage to millions who have been denied for reasons ranging from poverty to preexisting conditions. It was a resounding victory for President Barack Obama, but how will this new law affect you? We looked into the bill to find out what changes will kick in immediately and what we're going to have wait a few years for. Here's a breakdown:

We've all heard the term "No pain, no gain," but when is that pain actually a sign that you're doing an exercise totally wrong? "Good post-workout soreness usually happens in your muscles 24-48 hours after a workout while bad soreness is pain or swelling in your joints," says Stacy Berman, a personal trainer and founder of Stacy's Boot Camp.

I think a cyber attack would be far more safe than the government willy nilly shutting down parts or all of the internet.
The federal government has far too many powers that were never granted them. They most certainly do not need this one. If they are worried about government leaks then the government should move off of the internet and set up their own government network that is completely separate from the public internet. That way they can protect themselves without infringing on more rights of the citizens.
What would such a large scale cyber-attack seek to accomplish?
More than likely, the complete and total shut down of the internet – commerce and communication – within the United States.
What would this bill give the President the power to do?
Mandate a complete and total shut down of the internet – commerce and communication – within the United States.
This sort of thing goes on in China and Venezuela. It shouldn't happen in America. Give them an inch, they take a mile.
What happens when we give them a mile?
there is no way that this bill can be created to preserve people's freedoms. the bill it's self is an attack on people's freedoms. You say it's important to protect against attacks on the internet. This bill will allow the government to take down the internet within the US, disrupting communications in a way that most cyber attackers could only dream of.
Indeed, shutting down the internet in the US is the same logic as nuking new york to make sure it's inhabitants aren't killed by terrorists (i admit i added some comic exageration, but the principal is the same)
this bill is the cyber 9/11 that it is supposed to defend against. i think it is an absurd idea that could and probably would be abused horribly.
As a liberal, I have to tell you that you are misinformed. We do not want this bill, and this bill is not one based in liberal principles. I believe that this bill follows conservative principles, and it honestly reminds me of Bush and the PATRIOT Act.
The logic behind this is identical to the logic in every war against civilians: "We had to kill the Internet in order to save it."
Sure is fascism in here.
I'm not entirely sure how this is a push by liberals. lieberman isn't particularly liberal.
In the ideology of our founding fathers and the Constitution this bill is a travesty. As it reads a company doesn't have to comply if they are willing to pay a fine. Everyone knows the government loves to put thier foot in the door, often mis-using the new powers they obtain, and hardly ever respond fast enough to prevent a catastrophy… they only show up after the damage is done. The bill might look good on paper but the government has never proven themselves to be competant or trustworthy enough to have such powers. And they are going to 'create' anther agency. Government is too big as it is, many agencies never play nice or coordinate with each other as it is. Even in this oil spill they have no central figure of authority. Government needs to be limited to merely providing opportunity for its citizens and protect us from obsticals in our path. Past that, they need to get the hell out of our way and let citizens enjoy thier liberties and freedom without favoritism to any one group.
This bill is a threat to our freedom, and provides the government with too much power over one of the last truly free mediums. First, government passed the PATRIOT Act, a shameful piece of American legislation. This is a bill that is being proposed out of irrational fear and it needs to be stopped.
As a liberal, I vehemently oppose this bill. This is not a bill based in liberal principles, but follows the conservative approach to defense. This is an extension of the abuse of power we saw with the PATRIOT Act. This is unconstitutional and needs to be stopped.
The internet is used more widely than landlines. It is used for personal banking, our shopping centers use it for each purchase in connection with their accounting, our news and media use it. Shutting the system down would be turning off the world. It would be in essence, turning off the power to humanity and business. There isn't an act that would justify such action outside a world war. People can't quit living because terrorists and international espionage exist. These things have existed millennia. Believe me, our government has the means to protect itself and each of us are responsible for protecting our own information and not sharing information that would put our identity at risk. The government is there to protect our boarders, that its citizens may enjoy freedom. If you want any other kind of government, hand over your all your belongings. They've all but got them now. We need sensible smaller government, not a Dictator. This bill will give us exactly that.
Right, because liberals are always the first to limit freedoms. Try again.
this bill expands executive power, and obama is just another slimy politicians. hes gonna sign it.
that's because you're an idiot who doesn't understand how the internet works. You can't just "turn off" the internet, even if it were possible (it's not) doing so would cause catastrophic damage to the economy, All our financial systems, all our security systems … we're so reliant on the internet that if you shut it down there's a question of whether society will continue to operate normally anywhere in the Western world. Also the internet does NOT operate via international borders, turning off the internet in the US would turn it off all around the world. That's like giving a single country the right to poison the ocean or the atmosphere. IT DOES NOT BELONG TO US.
that's because you're an idiot who doesn't understand how the internet works. You can't just "turn off" the internet,
How the hell do they plan to do this? I mean, specifically how would you go about shutting down the internet? Good luck.
I'm writing a paper for school right now about this. I will probably post it. I told my entire class and my professor about this bill and they all laughed at the idea. This is a joke right?
I agree completely. If it makes it through Congress, I think Obama will veto it. I think we need to make it clear to him and everyone in Congress that we are opposed to this. Let them know we aren't fooled by the fear tactics.
With all due respect, your faith in Obama is naïve. Any POTUS seems to want to accumulate as much power as possible for himself and the office in that order.
the internet is not based in the US, it has no true base.
lieberman is a centrist.
as for this being a push by liberals, it's not.
The problem with bipartisan politics is that it encourages the group mentality with respect to politics ("either you're on our side or you're the total opposite to us"). In reality politics is much broader than just a simple line from left to right. As well as left to right there is also a scale from authoratarianism to libertarianism. It's possible to be both conservative or liberal and in favour of personal freedoms. Just as it's possible to be both conservative or liberal and against personal freedoms (hitler and stalin).
To clarify – I mean that it is physically possible. I am absolutely against the government having the authority to do this.
well this may be along the conservative approach…. but the liberals are pushing for it now.
I lived in Siberia for 2 years just after the collapse of the USSR – the communist party maintained just such a "kill switch" on the phone lines connecting our entire region to the outside world. They made all lines go through this one single point, so they could flip the switch if the natives got restless… (they had experienced uprisings in my region before)
A bad idea from an even worse sponsor
Shutting of ALL of the interet?? U mean not just united states but 100% of internet??? If so, united states definetly shouldn't have right to shut off the internet!! But if it would be JUST united states, it would still be wrong for the country itself and the other countries because over 50% of websites are from united states and lots of people are dependent from internet. It's like that because our world is all build around electricity and almost everything works with electricity, we are depend from electricity. If all electricity would suddely have taken off, what would we have? Dead people (without electric devices that keep them alive), junk, crap, sucides, broken cars (because lights doesn't work), out of order-hospitals, no defense-systems against criminals….. Closing internet is smaller thing than closing electricity, but effect would be still breaking for many many systems….
Apparently Egypt turned off access to the internet for their country. It can happen here and looking at egypt, I dont want that to happen here at all
(yes I'm aware that the internet issue in Egypt is just a small portion of the issues in that country.)
i hate to break it to you but the red sea is still very much full of water
This bill is extremely scary and a complete violation of our freedom. This has upset many people on all sides of the political spectrum. This bill needs to be stopped. Any person supporting this is either a complete fascist or doesn't understand rights and the importance of the Internet. Many people have said this, and they're right, "This would be worse than almost any cyberattack."
Look who is sponsoring the bill. We have Mr Israel Joe Lieberman and Jay Rockefeller who is Rothschild and Bilderberg related.
Both these clowns should not be allowed in our government.
This bill must be defeated. The president can shut down the internet in an emergency if necessary. This is an attempt to take control and censor the internet and establish commercial control by corporations leaving average people without a voice, thereby eliminating free speech and our right to access the truth of what is happening. This is the only media we have that is not government controlled propaganda and we cannot allow them to take it away.

Rescue dog helps Fargo woman manage challenges of bipolar disorder
FARGO -- Naomi Woods describes her psychotic break as sliding into an abyss with no way out.
The experience terrified her husband, best friend and son, but she doesn't remember it.
"All I knew was I couldn't control anything. I mean, I could barely control my breathing, and I wasn't real conscious of anything," she said.

8 Nonalcoholic Drinks That'll Satisfy When You're Craving a Cocktail
I don't know how to pronounce "orgeat" and I feel inadequate.
I don't know how to pronounce "orgeat" and I feel inadequate.
Huh. This looks extremely similar to what Jen at Use Real Butter posted about a week ago.
I own that exact copy of the settlement cookbook.
I'd also like to recommend The Family's Food, an excellent 40's primer on nutrition and cooking. It's very well written and fun to read.
What would you serve these with?
Thanks, Kenji. Maybe my husband and I will have a dumpling party one of these days.
I also love shrimp and pork combined. Kenji, I don't remember what recipe it was you posted that had a shrimp dumpling where you brine the shrimp with salt and baking soda for crunchy shrimp. Would the same work here? I could do the pork filling, put a little less in and then add a crunchy shrimp to it?
Sunny Cooks, many Korean markets sell corn syrup. I don't know how many are in Hong Kong, but you might find it there. It's called "Mul yot."
Is the magazine not coming out anymore?
This is one of my favorite dishes.
I've had Cantonese steamed eggplant which has a ground pork and long bean sauce and I love that one too.
A big plate of steamed rice and this eggplant make a wonderful meal. Also it's good in the lettuce wraps if that's your thing.
Replace the olives and pistachios with grapes and coarse sugar and you have a treat my dad made for us when I was young.
@Scott, it is to clarify that no chicken cannibals were created. Chickens are omnivorous, but factory chickens might end up with chicken bits in their feed. Hence vegetarian raised.
What would you serve this with?
What happened to Yuba the dog?
Why blasphemy. I don't get it.
Did you try this with sherry? I think sherry is one of the must have ingredients for this dish. It's nutty and complements everything so well.
I want to see more like this from nicki. She's right up there as my favorite writer on SE.
Excellent recipe. I love that I didn't have a million dishes left over too. I made this with cheap cheese and it was still great.
Can we start a Facebook campaign to bring back this series to its full glory?
I have a lot of thoughts about the comments here. First off, SoleVole is, like all of you, expressing an opinion. They are welcome to do so. People are reacting to this by calling them a troll, or suggesting that the site would be better off without their input. I've recieved the same treatment on here upon expressing dislike of an article or series. I find this baffling.
I've seen the argument that since we aren't paying for the content, we mustn't criticize. That's ridiculous. How can the site improve if the authors don't know what people want?
I've seen the argument that if you don't like something, don't read it. That's also silly, because how the hell are you suposed to know if you like the latest installment of a series you enjoy if you don't read it?
Let's say we are all a big group of people watching a movie. After the movie is over, two or three people say "man, I hated that movie!" What should the rest of the group do? Never allow them to watch another movie with that group? What happens at the next movie night? And the next?
Lastly, people are acting like serious eats can do no wrong, when in fact, they can, have and will probably continue to do so. I've not been super quiet about how unhappy I am with the site after they made all the changes, but one thing has been made clear: any comments related to my unhappiness with the site are unwelcome by the community. I keep coming back, hoping it's going to improve, but so far, I'm pretty disapointed.
This article was interesting to me, only in that I wanted to compare the method to the one posted by Nick Kindlesperger a few years back.
I think it would be good for the community here to not all throw rocks at dissenting commenters, and to recognize an actual troll when you see one.
Alcohol doesn't keep you warm. Surely a certified cicerone should know better.
This recipe was more or less a flop for me, and I made it exactly as written. The shrimp paste was overpoweringly saltly and I felt like the effort of grinding the paste by hand was completely lost under all that salt. The broth was way too thick, too. I didn't salt the water for the noodles, which ended up being a good thing. Next time, I'll cut both the coconut milk and the shrimp paste in half.
As for the foil, I use Reynold's foil, not the cheap dollar store stuff.
So far this is going well, but I have to say that the foil pouch thing was a complete flop. 30 seconds on my burner and the foil had burned through, completely scorching my leaves and seeds. If I hadn't caught it, it would have ruined the entire dish, not to mention made a mess of my stove. As it was, I had to replace the corriander and the lime leaves. I will go with the skillet method next time.
Hong Galbi has, hands down, the BEST service in LA.
BCD Tofu house is noteworthy only in that it's open 24 hours.
Jeon Ju is my favorite restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is stellar. You get many, many side dishes and all of them are uniquely delicious.
For Soondubu, try Beverly Soon Tofu. It's been around since 84 and is awesome.
BananaP, try castelvetrano olives, with pits. The pitted ones don't taste as good.
I listen to Good Job Brain, a weekly trivia podcast. Their latest episode asked what percentage of purchases at the grocery store are unplanned.
Since I work at a grocery store, I guessed a bit high, but the hosts guessed quite low, somewhere around 25%.
I'd say about two thirds of my customers tell me that they "only came in for one thing" when I'm ringing up a huge cart of stuff.
I fall victim to it as well. I go to the store across the street from my house and I always come home with more than I intended to buy, even though it's right there and I could just go back later if I really needed it.
So, are you good at keeping your grocery list? What percentage of your purchases are unplanned? Starting now, I'm going to be really diligent about how much I buy VS what I planned.
The amount of groceries that are unplanned by the way, is 66%.
My husband and I were grocery shopping the other day and I saw condensed milk was on sale, 3 for 5 dollars. We use condensed milk in our coffee and so it's a daily staple in our house.
He mentioned that he never pays attention to how much things cost like that. When I exclaim that this bag of jasmine rice is a good deal or stock up on coconut milk, he shrugs, happy to pick things up at any price.
Working at Trader Joe's, I see customers carefully examining the price of everything they touch, and some who just toss everything in the cart without a second thought.
So how do you shop? Do you price compare? Stock up on staples when they're on sale? Go to the market once a week only? Stop in daily?
What are your go to breakfasts these days? Do you eat the same thing every day or switch it up?
So, I follow Leela of She Simmers and have read some excellent literature from her and elsewhere on the proper method of making Thai Curries.
First, fry the coconut cream, then add the curry paste and fry until the oil separates and the curry cracks.
Finally, after attempting this forever, I got my curry to crack properly. I am pleased with myself.
Now, my husband, being a skeptic (I am too, but to a lesser extent) demanded to know why you crack the curry.
And I can't find an answer! I contacted Leela directly via her Facebook page, but all she said was that cracking it was correct and there was a reason for it, but she didn't say what. So what's the actual reason?
So, my husband brought home a chunk of something called Mezcal from Gonzalez Northgate Market. It appears to be a chunk of agave, smoked or steamed.
We can't find anything about it online. He just tore some strips off of it and ate it, and he really loves it. For me, I can't eat it because the smoky smell makes me feel like my throat is going to close up.
So, what is this stuff exactly and what does one do with it? It's very sweet.
So, I've realized that I have a hard time digesting onions. Green onions seem to treat me okay as do garlic and leeks.
Cooking without onions is not an option to me. Too many delicious foods require onions.
But, does anyone have any suggestions for aiding the digestion of onions? I am not allergic to them, they just make my guts bubble and ache. Anyone else have this...unpleasantness?
The new Serious Eats dating ads are very pervasive and kind of weird. Is there any way to see different ads, or just what's the deal with it in general?
Hi Serious Eats! I'm a huge fan and I love the site, but I am very sad you are bringing in the Media Force ads. I'd rather see ads for Pilsbury or Illy or anything else other than "WE CAN'T STOP STARING AT THIS TESTOSTERONE SUPPLEMENT" and so on.
I understand that ads are a contentious part of the site and I am fine with seeing ads, sponsored posts and the like, but the MediaForce ads are just trashy looking and horrible.
We've all complained about ooey, unctuous, and moist, but what words make you want to eat something?
For me, I always want to make a recipe if the writer suggests I serve it with "plenty of" anything. "Plenty of hot coffee," or "plenty of steamed rice." That always gets me ready to cook.
What words make you hungry?
Boyfriend and I are going to Orange County in September. This will be boyfriend's first visit to southern California as an adult, and I want him to try a really good fried fish taco. I've had them at Baja Fish and Rubio's, but is there somewhere better I should be taking him?
We're going to have a car and be mobile. I've also spent a large amount of time in SoCal, so I'm fairly familiar with the area.

This is the second time I buy this item and the sizing is off it is very snug even though I bought a size larger than I am. The xxl is the same size as the xl Now I have two pieces of clothing I can't wear till I loose at least 20 pounds. I am very disappointed. I will not be buying anymore clothes from sh./club. I guess that's the chance we take when we buy without trying on first. And to send it back it's five dollars each item. No slip in this one and no cheaper than the one that has a slip in it. My opinion, Not worth the money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I got the matching skirt and I love this top true to size. No complaints. Love the extra 30% I got off the sale price.

The controversy over the American Airlines eShopping Mall with the Verizon mistake and the US Airways Mall with EasyCGI still continues to rage. Both sides are waging a fierce battle of principles on the forum boards and eloquently stating their cases.
Customer: "Hello, is this American Airlines?"
American Rep: "Yes it is. How can I help you?"
Customer: "You lost my bag on the flight from Chicago to Detroit this morning."
American Rep: "I am so sorry to hear that. But our baggage is handled by the Chicago Municipal Sewer Workers. You'll have to call them to locate your bag,"
Customer: "But I bought my ticket from American Airlines."
Customer: "Could I please have another bag of peanuts?"
Flight Attendant: "I'm sorry all requests for additional services are handled by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders. We only handle initial disbursements."
My point is this: If American Airlines has its name on that eShopping Mall, it is responsible for the operation where any reasonable person would expect to be dealing with American Airlines. If that is not the case, then change the name to the Catera Commerce eShopping Mall.
Those who are insisting, "It was a mistake. You knew it or should have known it. You don't want people to lose their jobs over this, do you?" are missing my point. Mistake or not is not the issue. Who is taking responsibility for posting 83,871 miles next to the "Buy it Now" button?
I contend it should be American Airlines negotiating in good faith with its customers, not Catera Commerce and not Verizon. It is indeed the airline's name on the eShopping door, isn't it?
Is my stance to hard and firm? I don't think so. It is easily correctable. If you are going to subcontract out your shopping mall, disclose it for all your customers to see. Don't hide it in some obscure terms and conditions page. Put it right up front in big letters on a page all customers must read when entering the mall. Require your subcontractors to carry errors and omissions insurance to protect your customers and your good name. American Airlines is a good name and a good company. And most importantly in that E and O policy, American Airlines shall have the right to make things right with its customers based on that E and O policy and will undertake the task of doing just that.

IHG® Rewards Club Select Credit Card
- Annual Fee: $49 fee waived for the first year
- Foreign Fees: No
- Card Type: Hotel
The IHG Rewards Club Visa is often cited as one of the most underrated hotel credit cards, with good reason. The official offer is for 70,000 points after $1,000 spent within three months, with the first year's fee waived. The card comes with an annual free night certificate that can be used at any IHG property, including Intercontinental hotels - making this certificate worth upwards of 50,000 points. This is far more generous than some other hotel cards, which limit the categories in which free night certificates can be redeemed.
Cardholders earn 5 points per dollar at IHG hotels; 2 points per dollar at gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants; 1 point per dollar everywhere else. Moreover, you'll get a 10% rebate on award redemptions, up to 100,000 points per year. The card also comes with Platinum status, though that doesn't get you much with IHG. Still, this is a fantastic card to have in your wallet, with benefits that far outweigh the already low $49 annual fee.
- Earn 70,000 bonus points after you spend $1,000 in the first 3 months of account opening
- Enjoy a free night of card membership at over 4,700 hotels worldwide
- Earn 5 points for each $1 spent at our hotels
- Earn 2 points per $1 spent on purchases at gas stations, grocery stores and restaurants
- Bonus points redeemable at hotels such as Intercontinental® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts and Holiday Inn®
- Automatic platinum elite status, as long as you remain a cardmember
- $0 introductory annual fee the first year, then $49

It's the damndest thing, but when we ran Aikman's name through the Dallas Central Appraisal District, we couldn't locate him in the city. Found a Troy Aikman who recently bought a $2.3 million home in Highland Park, but surely no rich guy who lives in Highland Park would have the gall to tell Dallas that it was wrong not to give another HP rich guy (Jerry Jones) a boatload of our money.

Train derailment shuts frontage roads
CORPUS CHRISTI - The eastbound and westbound frontage roads of State Highway 44 at Talbert Road were closed Tuesday after a train derailed, a Texas Department of Transportation official said.
The train was not carrying any hazardous materials and was moved off the street late Tuesday night, said Cliff Bost, transportation department spokesman.
Bost did not have an estimate of the extent of the damage to road or when it would be open to traffic.
"Luckily it's not a high-volume road," he said.

BG Meyer…
If you haven't heard about the BG Meyer Standard Issue cigar, don't worry. I am here to impart some knowledge. "What is a BG Meyer," you may be asking yourself? Not a hotdog, but the newest addition to the already stunning arsenal that is Camacho Cigars. In a monumental revamping effort, Camacho created the "Board of the Bold," a star-studded cast of brand directors including Mike Ditka, Matt Booth, and the person behind the BG Meyer Company, Rob Weiss. Rob Weiss is well-known in the cinema industry as one of the writers and producers on the hit HBO series, "Entourage!" I never heard of him, but he's got a Wikipedia…and that's proof enough for me. Plus, the cigar's pretty damn tasty. So that's that.
BG Meyer's Standard Issue stays true to the "Board of the Bold" name, delivering a medium-full bodied experience. A true Nicaraguan puro, rare Corojo '99 fillers are nestled within a Nicaraguan binder. To cap it all off, an exquisite Habano wrapper is draped over top, producing notes of wood, vanilla bean, and sweet spices. It's like hob-knobbing with the rich and famous of Hollywood, just a little better tasting.
"This cigar is very close to perfection. Tons of nice taste and not overwhelmingly bitter. This is a go-to cigar. Magnifico!"

Communists Had Infilitrated the VVAW when John Kerry Was a Member
Marc Morano, in the Cybercast News Service (April 1, 2004):
The 1970s anti-war group that included John Kerry was "heavily infiltrate[d]" by individuals dedicated to the teachings of Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-Tung and to the use of violence, if necessary to achieve their goals, according to a historian friendly to Kerry.
"The RCP (Revolutionary Communist Party) was already beginning to heavily infiltrate the [Vietnam Veterans Against the War in 1971]. They eventually took it over around '73 and basically pushed out all the real veterans and brought in all the RCP functionaries and destroyed the organization," Gerald Nicosia, author of Home to War: A History of the Vietnam Veterans' Movement and a Kerry supporter, told CNSNews.com.
"Even in 1971, there was an RCP presence ... [RCP is] a crackpot organization, very violent, extremely violent, far left Maoist organization," led by a man named Bob Avakian, Nicosia said.
"[In 1971] they were trying to take over and eventually did take over VVAW," he added.
Nicosia said Kerry was aware of communism's increasing presence in the VVAW operations and it was one of the factors that led to his resignation as one of the leaders of the group in November 1971.
But even though Kerry resigned from the group's leadership in November 1971, several published news accounts cite Kerry as a representative of VVAW into 1972.
The RCP's efforts to control VVAW came to a head in 1978, when the communist factions split off to form their own group called Vietnam Veterans Against the War - Anti-Imperialist (VVAW-AI.) This group still exists today and refers to the U.S. as "AmeriKKKa" on its website.
Other radical factions influenced VVAW, according to Nicosia.
"There were guys that were not Maoist, but guys who were like Scott Camil," Nicosia said, referring to the man who allegedly advocated the possible assassination of U.S. senators still supportive of the U.S. war effort in Vietnam. "They were veterans and still believed in the U.S and still saluted the flag, but believed this government was all wet and wanted to get rid of it," Nicosia said.
"There was Al Hubbard, who was a Black Panther who was also pushing the organization toward violent confrontation," Nicosia added. Hubbard, who had appeared at Kerry's side in April of 1971 on NBC's Meet the Press , was later shown to have lied about his military record.
Current VVAW member David Cline dismissed the communist presence in VVAW during the time Kerry served as the group's spokesman.
"Some people had philosophies of varying types. There [were] people who
were driven by religious views ... there was one guy who was involved in Veterans
for [the George] McGovern campaign. So there [were] people coming from different
areas," Cline told CNSNews.com . "Anytime you are going to get a big
organization, you are going to get a lot of different views."...

Read and/or print Newsletter - March 2015
(best viewed in Google Chrome)
Letter from Lois
March, 2015
Blankets - I know we continue to hear the pleas for more of them…okay, I can make another one, but where will it go? Who will it benefit? Is it REALLY necessary?
First, yes…it is desperately needed. And second, have you noticed how warm you are under the ever increasing fabric as you stitch? (An added benefit during these cold, single digit temperatures!)
Which size will you make? Well, depends on how long you want to work on the first one before starting on the next one, for which, by the way, ideas have been forming in your head the entire time you have been racing to complete the current project! What color? Which yarn? Leftovers, pounders…what will you choose?
Maybe you just love working with the pastels, the sport weight yarn…Easy! Sounds like baby blankets are next for you. It could be one of those colorful, clutchin' or draggin' blankets for a toddler. Maybe something at least 24 inches up to even36 inches. These little kids don't really care about the shape, square or rectangle,not a problem. But soft, that they would love!
And still thinking about babies,how about a nice cozy blanket for that full term newborn. Only about a day old, full of life, wiggly,maybe something about 2 feet to 2 and a half feet will be perfect. Large enough to keep him covered in his new car seat for the trip home, not so big he's lost in it!
And those little preemies…while still in the NICU our blankets aren't used very often but again, for that ride home, at only 4 or 5 pounds, their blanket will serve to keep them warm but are smaller than that of their cousin, the full term 8 pounder. These little ones only need about a 20 to 24inches square for the perfect fit. If working with those thinner yarns isn't for you, the soft, worsted weight will be just fine for these babies.
However, those heavier yarns are just right for all of the needed adult blankets. For the lap blankets and the tie-ons going to nursing homes and hospice care centers, something brightly colored, variegated textures, (add a few rows of fun fur type yarn here and there!), these work up quickly. Don't forget to add that cord to one narrow end for typing around the patients' waist for a stay-on blanket.
Or maybe you could make a blanket a little larger so it could be used for chemo or dialysis patients. Again, bright, cheerful colors, add some texture if you like, and for dialysis patients, stay away from the pale colors that could show stains so easily.
Your largest blankets will surely be enjoyed by our homeless citizens. But bone marrow transplant could be their destination. These folks will spend about 6 weeks in their rooms while undergoing treatments. The rooms I have seen were WHITE! So, we try to give them COLOR! Of course, these blankets are made of washable yarn but COLOR, that's the main ingredient…texture too, but probably rather than fun fur type yarn, maybe create a little interest with patterns or unusual stitches. Now this isn't necessary, they will love your blanket for its color - and as all our other recipients, the smiles will be enormous.
So pick up your yarn at the shop,grab your hooks and needles, refer to the Project Sizes chart here in your newsletter and enjoy the warmth as your project grows. Enjoy the feeling of being a beacon in someone else's life. And don't forget - SMILE as you stitch! Remember, you are the biggest and most wonderful asset at From the Heart.
See you at the shop!

An Explosive Device is Found at a Jefferson County Landfill
(JEFFERSON COUNTY, ID) — Jefferson County employee located a possible explosive device at work Tuesday at the Circular Butte Landfill. Sheriff Olsen requested the assistance of the Bonneville County Sheriff's bomb squad to determine what kind of explosives it was and removed it from the area.

It appeared that it was with some old discarded military memorabilia, from an old garage or basement.
If you encounter those kinds of objects, old ammunition, military ordinance's please contact your local law enforcement agency rather than discarding it.
