Can You Suggest A Gluten Free Treat For Afternoon Gathering?
Schedules have finally aligned so that a group of dear friends can meet at 2pm tomorrow for catching up and conversation. The person hosting is about a 45 min. drive from me. I'd like to bring an easily portable treat that won't be fussy to serve with tea or coffee. Two of the 7 of us are now eating gluten-free & that's where I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
I like the fresh fruit idea as well, especially if it's still as hot there as it is here........
Have you checked Elana Amsterdam's website (linked below)? I use a lot of recipes from her book "The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook", if you need a cookie, cake, dessert, or muffin type treat. I use the pulp (dehydrated) from making almond milk in the recipes.
From the book:
Apricot Tea Squares
(makes 16 - 1" squares)
Make sure your apricots are soft and moist for best results.
1 c. dried apricots
1 c. unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
2 c. blanched almond flour
1/2 t. sea salt
1/4 t. baking soda
1 lg. egg
1 T. vanilla extract
(I also add 2 T. palm sugar, or any kind of sweetener you'd like, especially if your apricots aren't very sweet.)
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with grapeseed oil and dust with almond flour (I use Bakers & Chefs Cooking Spray)
In a food processor, blend the apricots and coconut until the mixture is crumbly. Pluse in the almond flour, then add the salt, baking soda, egg, and vanilla extract. blend until well combined. Press the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until firm. Let cool in the baking dish for 1-hour. Cut into squares and serve.

Hot here again, 90.
Maybe something non-bake like cucumber cups filled with cherry tomato halves, goat cheese pesto, a toasted pecan/basil leaf garnish. And/or filled with smoked salmon, goat cheese, olives, capers, dill garnish.
-have all that in my fridge right now so i would not need to shop, lol. My garden produce more cucumber than it normally does. Cute little lemon ones and lots of them.
This hostess generally puts out a dish of almonds and a plate of fruit slices. Since I'm the only baker in the group they've come to expect I'll show up with the sweet treat (many from recipes I've found here!) so I'd hate to disappoint. I'm leaning toward the apricot bars if I can find almond flour @ my nearby grocery store.
Thanks for your replies.
I make the peanut butter cookies for my stepdaughter that only contains a cup of peanut butter, a cup of sugar, an egg, a teaspoon of vanilla. Bake at 350F 10 minutes. Sometimes I make a "thumbprint" and fill them with jam or chocolate. They have no leavening, so they won't puff up or spread, so if you make them small, they'll be small.
Ann T's chocolate meringue cookies are yummy too.
Chewy Chocolate Meringue Cookies
Wives with Knives/The Cafe Sucre Farine
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups chocolate chips
4 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
optional ingredients: dried cranberries, dried cherries, toffee bits
Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in a bowl. Stir in chocolate chips. Add egg whites and vanilla; mix with a fork or electric mixer on medium until batter is just moistened. (Do not overbeat or batter will stiffen.)
Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets in evenly spaced mounds. Bake cookies until tops are lightly cracked and glossy, about 15 minutes. Cool briefly, then carefully remove from parchment paper with a spatula. Cookies may be soft and fragile so proceed carefully to lift cookies and place them on racks to cool. Do not wait too long to remove them from baking sheets, for they will stick, even to parchment paper. Repeat with remaining batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Chris's (The Cafe Sucre Farine) notes:
~ I found that slightly rounded teaspoons of batter work best. I tried making bigger ones and they did not bake as nicely. Also, make sure to leave plenty of room around each one as they will spread.
~ When I made these cookies I found, through trial and error, that if I lightly buttered the parchment paper, then left the cookies right on the paper till they were cool there was no problem removing them.
~ I tried them with 2 cups of chocolate chips and a cup of roughly chopped dried cherries �" fabulous!
I also tried them with 2 cups of chocolate chips and 1 cup of toffee bits, even better!!
There is the ever popular flourless chocolate cake:
Flourless Chocolate Torte
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus 1/2 tablespoon
1 pound semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup amaretto
8 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder, for garnish
Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Using 1/2 tablespoon butter grease a 9-inch springform pan and line bottom with a parchment round. Cover pan underneath and along sides with foil and set in a roasting pan. Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil.
Combine the chocolate, butter, and amaretto in a metal bowl set over simmering water or in the top of a double boiler. Melt the mixture, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes; reserve.
Meanwhile combine eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until frothy and almost doubled in volume, about 5 to 10 minutes. Fold 1/3 of egg mixture into chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula. Repeat this process 2 more times - until all of egg mixture has been folded into chocolate mixture.
Pour batter into prepared springform pan and place in the roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides. Bake until cake has risen slightly and edges are just beginning to set, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove cake from roasting pan and cool on wire rack to room temperature. Remove foil, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Remove cake from refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving. Remove springform pan sides, invert cake onto a large plate, and peel away the parchment paper from bottom. Reinvert cake on another large plate or serving platter and garnish with confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder immediately before serving.
Too bad it's a drive away, or homemade ice cream would go well.
Elery makes a cheesecake with a crust from gluten free gingersnaps, and crème brulee is just cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, basically. And there's always fudge, truffles, caramels, assorted candy.
Have fun!
Here is Nigella Lawson's Clementine Cake. It has been posted a few times and appears to be beloved although it's still in my huge "to be tried" stack. One day....
4 to 5 clementines (about 1 pound total weight)
6 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/3 cups ground almonds
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
Put the clementines in a pot with cold water to cover, bring to the boil, and cook for 2 hours. Drain and, when cool, cut each clementine in half and remove the seeds. Then finely chop the skins, pith, and fruit in the processor (or by hand, of course).
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Butter and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Beat the eggs. Add the sugar, almonds, and baking powder. Mix well, adding the chopped clementines. I don't like using the processor for this, and frankly, you can't balk at a little light stirring.
Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, when a skewer will come out clean; you'll probably have to cover the cake with foil after about 40 minutes to stop the top from burning. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, in the pan on a rack. When the cake is cold, you can take it out of the pan. I think this is better a day after it's made, but I don't complain about eating it anytime.
I've also made this with an equal weight of oranges and lemons, in which case I increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups and slightly Anglicize it, too, by adding a glaze made of confectioners' sugar mixed to a paste with lemon juice and a little water.

I make the clementine cake often during the holidays and think I have posted it here, but clementines may be in short supply this time of year? At least around here.
I was looking for a gluten free dessert using meringues and found this tonight. I'm going to be making it this weekend. I'll be using Trader Joe's Meringues - they are very good.
Vanilla Berry Parfaits with Meringue cookies
Recipe from Cooking Light
2 1/2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks $
1 tablespoon butter
Remaining ingredients:
1/4 cup raspberry preserves
1 tablespoon framboise (raspberry brandy)
1 2/3 cups fresh blackberries (about 5 1/2 ounces)
1 1/3 cups fresh raspberries (about 6 ounces)
1 cup fresh blueberries (about 4 1/2 ounces)
12 large fat-free vanilla meringue cookies (such as Miss Meringue), divided
To prepare custard, place milk in a medium saucepan. Scrape seeds from bean; add seeds and bean to milk. Heat milk mixture over medium heat to 180° or until tiny bubbles form around the edge (do not boil); discard bean.
Combine sugar and next 3 ingredients (through egg yolks) in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Gradually add hot milk mixture to sugar mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Return milk mixture to pan; cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly (about 5 minutes), stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter, stirring until melted. Pour into a bowl; cool completely. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
Combine preserves and framboise in large bowl. Reserve 6 blackberries, 6 raspberries, and 6 blueberries. Fold remaining berries into preserves mixture.
Reserve 6 cookies. Place remaining cookies in a large zip-top plastic bag. Crush cookies using a rolling pin.
Spoon 1/4 cup custard into each of 6 tall glasses; spoon 1/3 cup berry mixture over each serving; top each serving with 1/3 cup crushed meringues, 1/4 cup custard, and 1/3 cup berry mixture. Top each serving with 1 blackberry, 1 raspberry, 1 blueberry, and 1 cookie.

This is a simple recipe I make as a gluten-free substitute for Pineapple Upside Down Cake and doesn't require special gluten-free flour/s or ingredients.
3/4 c. sugar (I use 1/2 c. palm sugar)
1 t. cinnamon
dash nutmeg and cloves
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 c. cornstarch
20-oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
2 T. melted butter
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a mixing bowl combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cornstarch. Stir in pineapple, eggs, and butter. Mix completely. Pour into pan. Bake 20-25 minutes until set and lightly brown.
Another recipes that uses "common" ingredients....
3 mashed ripe bananas (if you only have 2 bananas the recipe will still work, or add 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce for one banana)
2 c. quick oats
1 c. chopped dates (I also use dried blueberries, crasins, chopped apricots, mini\-chocolate chips, currants, etc.)
1/3 c. coconut oil (vegetable oil will also work)
1 t. vanilla
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 350\-degrees. Mix ingredients well and drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased (or parchment\-lined) cookie sheet and press flat (I use a \#70 portion scoop which holds one tablespoon \- recipes doesn't work well if you make large cookies). Bake for 25\-minutes, or until lightly browned.

Thanks so much for all the great suggestions. I ended up making the Clementine Cake. I dusted it w/ powdered sugar & garnished it with blackberries in the center with a few fresh mint leaves. It was just the right thing & so well received! I'll keep the other recipes in mind for future get-togethers.

It was with a heavy heart that I finished Fangirl. It was the last Rainbow Rowell book I had to read and I had tried to stretch them to make them last, but now I have a wait before her next one come out. I love that Rowell can write believable 18 year old narrators as well as moms with kids. Her books have characters that are flawed but you love them anyways. The fan-fiction element in this book is fun and helps define and explore the internal world of Cath the main character.
Such a great book!! I loved the balance between Cath's reality and her fanfiction. The development of her and Wren's relationship was moving and emotional, and her introversion was charismatic and enlightening. I really loved reading her fanfiction, maybe more than reading her actual story, and it was nice to read a book that acknowledged the importance of fandoms and fictional worlds for many people. A great read.
A great balance between fiction and reality. You really can't tell that the WHOLE thing is fiction. It's so realistic and relatable, and it's good.
I loves this book but didn't really care for the fanfic.Still a must read!
I loved this book! Personally, I could relate to the main character, Cath. And the excerpts from the Simon Snow series were intriguing. Though I felt like they were a bit too similar to Harry Potter, I wanted to read more about Simon's adventures. But Cath's story was more than enough compensation. Great read! :)
I'll come out and say it- I love this book. I found it at Powells and was so instantly hooked, I went ahead and bought it. I've written fanfiction for a few years and Cath is an amazingly realistic character. The Simon Snow excerpts are amazing, and it made me want to read all of those books too! I reccommend this book to anyone- it's fantabulous. Definitely. Also- Levi is adorable. Okay. I'm done now.
Terrible! Worst book I have ever read! The main character is written so bad and the fanfic she writes is a rip off of Harry Potter. I really wanted to like this book because I liked the idea of a fanfic writer as the lead of the story. But she was such a weakly written character with no character growth what so ever. The Simon Snow parts of the story were so out of order it got in the way of the story telling.
This book is so extremely realistic and truthful that it makes me giggle. It is an incredibly feel-good book that I highly recommend to all teenage book lovers. Sometimes it is hard to find a good book in the teen section and this is one of the golden few.
I love all of Rainbow Rowell's books, but this is my favorite. Love the characters, especially Cath. I can't wait until Rainbow writes her Baz and Simon book (release in October 2015)!
Fangirl and Eleanor & Park are entirely different stories, but the character development and chemistry are amazing in both. Fangirl was an awesome read. Really enjoyable.

"To really be a nerd, she'd decided, you had to prefer fictional worlds to the real one."
"And part of her set the whole world on fire just to watch it burn."
"Months are different in college, especially freshman year. Too much happens. Every freshman month equals six regular months—they're like dog months."
But there's nothing more profound than creating something out of nothing.
Think about it, Cath. That's what makes a god - or a mother. There's nothing more intoxicating than creating something from nothing. Creating something form yourself!
(Chapter 23)

SummaryAdd a Summary
In the age of tumblr, fanfiction and fanart, Cath is a relateable character for any teen who has geeked out over a book, tv show or movie. Starting her freshman year of college, Cath is facing several new obstacles. Her twin sister Wren doesn't want to room with her so "they can meet other people." She is dealing with her father's mental illness. And college has taken time away from completing her epic online fanfiction Carry On written in the world of Simon Snow (a character reminiscent Harry Potter). On top of it all, Cath might be falling in love with her roommate's boyfriend.

In the local elections held Tuesday night in the villages of Fleischmanns and Margaretville, four incumbent trustees retained their positions despite challenges.
By Julia Green
Margaretville Central School announced last week that it received a $4,000 matching grant from The A. Lindsay and Olive B. O'Connor Foundation to implement an early childhood literacy program called The 1,000 Books Program in cooperation with Fairview Public Library in Margaretville and Skene Memorial Library in Fleischmanns. According to MCS Head Librarian Pat Moore, the hope is to have the program up and running this spring.
The MARK Project is seeking input from business people and owners of mixed use buildings in Arkville and Fleischmanns for applications to the NY Main Street Program. An informational meeting is planned for Arkville business people and owners of mixed use and civic buildings on Thursday, Feb. 4 at 4 p.m. at Casey Joe's Coffeehouse on Route 28.
By Jay Braman Jr.
Village resident Harriet Grossman has been appointed by the Fleischmanns Village Board to fill a vacancy created last October by the death of Trustee Malcolm Becker. Grossman had been a trustee for four years prior to an unsuccessful re-election bid in March when incumbent Martin Moralis was re-elected and voters ushered in newcomer Todd Pascarella to a trustee's seat. That election also saw David Morell win the mayor's job.
By Brian Sweeney
For the second time in a little more than two years, a Fleischmanns family has struck it rich playing the New York State Lottery. Philip and Tracy Auchmoody took home a $45,000 prize in the Dec. 27 Win Four drawing. It was a great feeling for the couple, but the prize was dwarfed by the $1 million winning ticket that the Auchmoodys held in the Lottery's Extravaganza game in November 2007.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The Fleischmanns Village Board has filed an appeal of last month's court ruling which said that the owner of the Main Street Fleischmanns Theater building, or the bank that holds the mortgage on the building, has a right to pay past due village taxes and maintain ownership of the property.
At a village board meeting Monday evening, Fleischmanns Mayor Dave Morell said, "We have filed an appeal."

Everett Lee Alton, 73, passed from this life on November 22, 2009 at St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City, OK.
There will be a benefit concert on January 10 to raise funds for area youth and adults who will be traveling to West Africa in July to help some of the neediest children of Ghana. The concert will be at p.m. in the home of Justin and Barbara Mellon Kolb outside of Fleischmanns and will feature performances by Justin Kolb, Patricia Dell and Kent Brown.
By Jay Braman Jr.
An attempt by the Village of Fleischmanns to foreclose on the long-vacant Fleischmanns Theater building for non-payment of village taxes has been blocked by Delaware County Judge Carl Becker.
The judge determined last week that the owner of the property, or the local bank that holds a mortgage on the property, has a right to pay the delinquent taxes and maintain ownership.
Fleischmanns — Aided by the warm fall weather, John and Gloria Mulloy, owners of property located at 1033 Main Street in Fleischmanns, which houses Art Et Cetera, Zoom Gallery and two apartments, completed their building makeover in record time. Purchased in the spring, renovations were completed in under six months.

That's what I think too..
You hurt self or self would have not been harmed.
you are hurting YOU
I care that you are hurting so much to do that.
You hurt you.
Maybe its time to learn another way.
Learning to love yourself.
you're hurting yourself; you're using destructive means, instead of constructive ways, to help yourself; you could end up hurting yourself severely; you need to learn how to address your problems without also self defeating yourself

The other three were way too short, but this one kicked ass! Even though it's old. It still kicked ass!
This is a great series i don`t care what anyone else says. If u could make this episode in to a game u would be a god (even tho u already r).

Naked Ladies transplant question
Hello there!
Last fall I got a half dozen naked lady/resurrection lily bulbs from a friend. I didn't have a place prepared to plant them, so I gave them to my mother who put them in her yard. This summer she will be moving to a new house and we would like to keep the bulbs. I have a place to put them now. My question is to when the best time to move them would be. Right now they have 1-2 inches above the ground, but she planted them very shallowly (at least, that was my opinion, but they survived the winter, so who's to say?).
Should I:
1) dig them up right away and transplant them now?
2) wait until their spring foliage dies back and transplant them then?
I think I have only those two choices, because by summer and fall, she will be out of that house and most likely the house will be sold.
I'd hate to give you bad advice based on a misunderstanding of what you call Naked Ladies. I think you mean Lycoris Squamigera, the pink, large trumpeted flower. I've included a link below from Missouri Botanical with a picture. They say to move them in the fall, but they are not in my zone so ripening of foliage etc is probably different. I had to move mine once but the foliage had already ripened by early June, not fall. Also because of our zonal difference and winter freezes I don't bury mine as deeply. Since you are zone 6, their time tables may be more suited to you however. If for some reason you absolutely can't wait until the foliage ripens, you might try digging them up anyway, trying your darndest not to disturb the roots. Pot them up in the best potting soil you can buy, place them out of direct sun and wind and wait for the foliage to ripen in the pot. Then plant them in the ground. I've done this with dafs and tulips before and have had a fair amount of success. Just remember they can sometimes take years to settle back in once re-planted. On the ones I moved it was 3 years before some of them bloomed again.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lycoris Squamigera
I *assume* that's what they are (what the link showed), but I'm not positive. After all, I haven't seen them bloom either.
So what you're saying is to wait until after the foliage ripens and dig them up then, in the early or mid-summer? That's better than digging them up now?
gamebird- From what I have read and experienced, it would be best to let them go into their natural dormancy before moving them. This usually will occur in the summer when it gets hot. If you don't, they will probably dry their leaves up and put themselves into dormancy anyway. Plant them in the ground or in a pot wiht a gritty, well drained soil and make sure to plant them shallow with the neck out of the soil too. I've read they like to bake in the sun during the summer with limited water. I have some in a pot and they don't get special treatment, just taken care of by nature. They do take a long time to bloom after being disturbed. These were placed in the pot in the fall of 2006 or so and have yet to bloom.
Hope this helps and good luck with them!
Another option, since they are planted so shallowly anyway, would be to dig them now, taking a large clump of soil with them and disturbing the roots as little as possible. If you do that, I would then go ahead and plant them in holes so they will be at the exact same depth.
Chances are what you have are the Lycoris Squamigera, as most other Lycoris are not as hardy and likely would not survive in your zone, particularly if they were planted shallowly.
Good luck. I have them and love it when they surprise me each summer blooming on the stems when there no sign of any foliage left.
Is your friend no longer available to ask what color her "naked ladies" were when they bloomed? If they were pink, then more then likely they are Lycoris Squamigera and the advice to dig them up after the foliage ripens is the one to follow if at all possible. If you must dig before the foliage dies down do as has been suggested but pamper them in partial shade, no wind etc. until the foliage is gone.
If worse comes to worse, and you must move them sooner, it's no big deal... it'll just set them back a bit, and it'll take longer for them to recover and settle in to their new home.
They definitely don't care to be disturbed, but we have to do what we must to save our bulbs and take them with us. Just plant them in semi-shade at your new place, and be prepared to wait a couple of years for them to settle in before they bloom.
The bottom line is... bulbs are very resilient, for the most part... while moving them out of proper season will delay blooming, it's not going to kill them. Take as much of the soil around them as possible, and get them re-planted as soon as you are able. They'll be fine.

47 year old woman | San Francisco, CA, USA | Seeking men 35-50 within 50 miles
I dare you to try to keep up with me!!
What a challenging endeavor to try to put a fire ball on a flat screen. My positive energy could light up a city easily. I like to look at strangers in the eyes and smile, even better if they smile back. When I walk I bounce, holding myself back not to skip like a child. I get bummed out at playgrounds when there are signs that say "adults must be accompanied by children". Halloween and Thanksgiving are my two favorite holidays. I prefer to jump into a pool rather than dangle my feet along the edge. I don't like to wear ear buds because I like to be tuned into the world around me. Sometimes I circle a school twice just to watch kids punch each other since I drive a yellow VW Bug. I don't sleep in on the weekends, there is always something to do/experience. I actually write with a pen in a journal daily, ending each entry with three things I am grateful for that day. I like to make computerized speed limit signs flash "Slow Down!" when I drive by. I prefer to stand (in 3" platform shoes) rather than sit. I give great hugs. I have been a social worker for over 20 years, having worked with teens in group homes to my current passion of getting drug exposed, abused kids adopted and essentially getting a second chance in life. I love the families I work with and feel grateful that they embrace me in their homes when I realize some have had less than pleasant interactions with Social Services. I grew up on the East coast and am still very connected to many childhood/college friends who often envy my winters in the Bay Area. Every summer I look forward to my annual father/daughter sailing trip in RI. I've visited Turkey, Thailand, Spain, Sweden, Mexico, Italy, Greece and Denmark with my Mom. I adore my two brothers, my autistic/developmentally delayed nephew, and brilliant niece, I just wish they didn't live 3,000 miles away. Camping is my favorite escape and I love that in California I can do it year round. I love fire and use my fireplace in my apt often. I've gone to Burning Man three times and am most proud of my participation in building/burning The Trojan Horse in 2011 ~ I have some serious skills with power tools and scissor lifts now! How you like me now??! I am looking for an honest, active, respectful, intelligent, grounded partner who has a great sense of humor and appreciates a good adventure. It is important to me to be treated with respect and have honest, open communication. I want to be one of those couples who walks holding hands while engaged in conversation, tuned in to each other. I'm looking for someone to connect with, look forward to being with, yet also comfortable being independent of each other. My match will take the time and energy to surprise me with the little things, it truly is the thought that counts. I don't need much as I am pretty self sufficient, am far from being materialistic, but I love it when a man cooks for me ~ it makes me feel special. Ability to enjoy live music/ play an instrument, dance or enjoy a nice glass of wine is a bonus. I'd like to find a happy camper to share my tent with, cook a steak over the fire and watch for shooting stars. Are you out there??

- 16 June 2010.
Aftermath of the flash floods.
Flood water reached a depth of 30cm. Averging more than 60% rainfall for June. 100mm of rain swept across Singapore at the time of 8am to 11am.
The first thought that came into my mind was hell. Local and tourist knew that Orchard Road is a shopping paradise, an area to eat and shop. Yet million of dollars were soak in this unpredictable heavy downpour. Business came to a halt. Boutiques and restaurants were forced to close down due to the excess damage of equipment. Other smaller shops that were affected start clearing the water before more losses occur. There was a hinge of teamwork in an instant among the fierce competitors.

Year: 2013
Country: HUNGARY
Run Time: 68 minutes
It took a lot of balls to make this documentary. Tennis balls, specifically. Welcome to the impoverished Hungarian village of Besence, population 126. There is 99% unemployment, and days are passed in an idle fog. Mayor Ignac, trying to appropriate funds for anything he can, manages to score funding for two projects: a horticultural garden and... a tennis court. Ever the optimist, he feels the court will build community spirit, and he even dreams of his villagers competing in tournaments and bringing glory (and maybe wealth) to the village. Enlisting a coach, the task now is to unify and motivate the residents, many of whom are embarrassed by the whole thing and fear Besence will become a national joke. Odd, funny, and occasionally outright surreal, the utterly unique MEN WITH BALLS sometimes feels like fiction. But, as we all know, only real life can be this quirky, touching, and strangely hilarious. These baffled and struggling villagers will win your heart as they meet what life tosses at them with a hearty "Balls to You!" (In Hungarian with subtitles) —C.R.

William Makepeace Thackeray
Abd-El-Kader At Toulon Or, The Caged Hawk
No more, thou lithe and long-winged hawk, of desert-life for thee;
No more across the sultry sands shalt thou go swooping free:
Blunt idle talons, idle beak, with spurning of thy chain,
Shatter against thy cage the wing thou ne'er may'st spread again.
Long, sitting by their watchfires, shall the Kabyles tell the tale
Of thy dash from Ben Halifa on the fat Metidja vale;
How thou swept'st the desert over, bearing down the wild El Riff,
From eastern Beni Salah to western Ouad Shelif;
How thy white burnous welit streaming, like the storm-rack o'er the sea,
When thou rodest in the vanward of the Moorish chivalry;
How thy razzia was a whirlwind, thy onset a simoom,
How thy sword-sweep was the lightning, dealing death from out the gloom!
Nor less quick to slay in battle than in peace to spare and save,
Of brave men wisest councillor, of wise councillors most brave;
How the eye that flashed destruction could beam gentleness and love,
How lion in thee mated lamb, how eagle mated dove!
Availed not or steel or shot 'gainst that charmed life secure,
Till cunning France, in last resource, tossed up the golden lure;
And the carrion buzzards round him stooped, faithless, to the cast,
And the wild hawk of the desert is caught and caged at last.
Weep, maidens of Zerifah, above the laden loom!
Scar, chieftains of Al Elmah, your cheeks in grief and gloom!
Sons of the Beni Snazam, throw down the useless lance,
And stoop your necks and bare your backs to yoke and scourge of France!
Twas not in fight they bore him down; he never cried aman;
He never sank his sword before the PRINCE OF FRANGHISTAN;
But with traitors all around him, his star upon the wane,
He heard the voice of ALLAH, and he would not strive in vain.
They gave him what he asked them; from king to king he spake,
As one that plighted word and seal not knoweth how to break;
'Let me pass from out my deserts, be't mine own choice where to go,
I brook no fettered life to live, a captive and a show.'
And they promised, and he trusted them, and proud and calm he came,
Upon his black mare riding, girt with his sword of fame.
Good steed, good sword, he rendered both unto the Frankish throng;
He knew them false and fickle—but a Prince's word is strong.
How have they kept their promise? Turned they the vessel's prow
Unto Acre, Alexandria, as they have sworn e'en now?
Not so: from Oran northwards the white sails gleam and glance,
And the wild hawk of the desert is borne away to France!
Where Toulon's white-walled lazaret looks southward o'er the wave,
Sits he that trusted in the word a son of Louis gave.
O noble faith of noble heart! And was the warning vain,
The text writ by the BOURBON in the blurred black book of Spain?
They have need of thee to gaze on, they have need of thee to grace
The triumph of the Prince, to gild the pinchbeck of their race.
Words are but wind, conditions must be construed by GUIZOT;
Dash out thy heart, thou desert hawk, ere thou art made a show!

Can I grow vegetable plants in compost, peat moss Mix
Hi All,
I am planning to plant veggies like tomatoes, beans, Cucumbers and eggplant in pots (My seedlings are growing indoors with their baby leaves). I have 2 big bags of finished compost i got from my city dump yesterday. I also have have half a big bag of peat moss and some compost I made around 3 years back. I don't want to spend money on soil again, Can i just mix all these three(or layer it in pot) and grow my veggies. Or should i add something more to this. My ground soil is very clayish. I don't prefer using it as i noticed lots of bugs(like bill bug, centipedes etc). It will be great if you can give me your valuable suggestions.
Happy Gardening!
The Square Foot Gardening folks might tell you to mix your peat moss and compost with another part vermiculite and you're good to go. The lasagna gardeners might tell you to layer your peat most, compost, and any other organic material you may have and plant your garden in that.
If you don't want to buy anything, and you're set on planting in pots, I would suggest mixing your peat moss and compost together and adding some of your clay soil as well.
Better still, if you can plant in the ground, don't disparage clay soil. It has advantages and disadvantages but certainly can be made into a fine growing medium with the addition of things like... oh... uhhhh... hmmmm... peat moss and compost for example. Rumor has it you have some of that. All things being equal, veggies do better in the ground than in pots, assuming you have a suitable space.
I would be very careful with city compost. They use a lot of diseased material from downed trees and you also don't know if pesticides were used on the materials collected for composting.
I tried it once and had insects and invasive weeds I never had before...it made for a disastrous season!
Now I buy worm castings from a local worm distributor and it's the best soil!
Hi tcstoehr,
Thanks for your suggestions. I am planning to plant some Okra, Tomatoes, carrots and Radishes in my ground. But I was really worried about the bugs, As you say will give a try. I just spoke to my gardener about the bugs. He also said that he'll add some pestiside that will kill these bugs. BTW when you say organic material what do you mean by this. The compost i made at home is organic as per my knowledge. Or are you talking about something else? I do have some worm castings from my worm bin. I this enough?
Re: "Organic material" refers to decomposed leaves, grass clippings, weeds (without seeds), anything organic and natural, not synthetic or man made. It would be best if your gardener avoided most pesticides--since you are growing for the kitchen table. Ask him if he has an "organic" solution--in this case, organic would refer to non-synthetic, man-made chemical pesticides.
Here is a link that might be useful: HarvestToTable.com
I still don't like that square ft. gardening method of soil mix.
It's a recipie for water logged roots with the wrong watering regime, especially when it comes to treating compost or the soil under the amendment as being the same.
You lay that stuff on some hard clay and you're asking for water to bowl up in the root zone unless you dig and ammend it deep enough.
Amending with peat, on whole, is something I'm not a fan of except in extremely sandy soils...even then there's better ways such as adding more organic matter.
It seems like adding peat and it's water holding capacity would be good, but amending with clay is a whole lot better (and adds high nutrient capacity) to your soil.
You can grow veggies in containers using the mix you listed, but drainage and the resulting low oxygen in the root area may produce sub par performance from the plants.
Growing in a container is *not* the same as growing in a raised bed. The raised bed is in contact with the earth which makes all the difference in the world in terms of drainage and not having an anerobic, water saturated layer toward the bottom of the container.
If you were to cut the bottom off the containers such that soil contacted the earth the mix would work just fine. Alternately you can shove a wick into the drain hole and let it hang in the air. This will pull the excess water at the bottom (the perched water table) out of the container.
If will still likely work, but you wouldn't be the first to express disappointment at how a fine particled, heavy mix like that does in a closed container.
I'm not a big fan of peat moss either. I'd suggest you just amend the soil you have with the other organic matter you have (all that compost) and leave the peat moss out of it. If you have a large enough area in beds that the peat would be "diluted" a good bit by the composts, it wouldn't hurt to use it then. I wouldn't use it in pots though. Like was already suggested, mix that compost with some of your native soil and it'd be best. The insects will definitely find your pots eventually anyway.
I don't much like peat because it's "feast or famine" ~ either really soggy wet or so dry you can barely wet it again. When it's that wet, it takes forever to dry out and when it's completely dry the water just runs off it instead of soaking in. If it's diluted enough by the compost, that wouldn't be so much of a concern.
The problem i have with peat moss (besides the limited supply we're mining out) is it's just useless besides it's water holding capacity.
It does nothing for nutrient holding/exchange. You can get a similar water-holding effect from clay along with an outstanding nutrient holding/exchange capacity.
Clay gets a bad rap, but it's REALLY good stuff as long as it's not all hardpan/compacted, wet all the time, or extremely fine to the point of having little soil structure.
Have you priced vermiculite lately? Because of the asbestos issue, vermiculite prices have skyrocketed lately because they either have to put it through a process to remove the asbestos or get it from a mine that doesn't have it, which is hard to find. So vermiculite now costs $37 for a 3.5 cubic foot bag, way to expensive to use as a soil amendment. I just use it for seed starting mixes. You might be able to find some stuff that's been laying around that has asbestos in it cheap though.

1 The Desert Detective Series for High School/College: #3—The Mystery of Desert Preservation Detectives solve mysteries and so do scientists. This Desert Detective Mystery will help you discover the Mystery of Desert Preservation. Most of the answers can be found on the Center for Desert Living trail at the southwest corner of the garden. As you go through the Desert Botanical Garden, feel free to look, wonder and enjoy. Two simple rules you must follow: 1. Stay on the paths 2. Do NOT touch the plants. Good luck in your explorations! The Mystery Introduced Good Morning, Inspector! We're glad you're here at the Desert Botanical Garden to help us solve the mystery. Here is the problem: The Sonoran Desert is home to many unique plants like the Saguaro cactus and the ironwood tree, which are native to nowhere else on Earth. This great variety of plant life is declining because of urban development in the desert. As the Phoenix area continues to grow, desert is replaced by homes and stores. Especially destructive to plants and animals is the breaking up of large pieces of the desert into many smaller ones, habitat fragmentation. Often these smaller pieces of desert cannot support the critical interactions needed between plants and pollinators. Urban growth can also break up migratory paths of animals (i.e., animals cross a busy highway at their own peril). Your goal, Inspector, if you choose to accept it, is to discover what can be done to preserve the desert. How can those of us who live in the desert lessen our impact in order to preserve it? Mystery #1 What living and non-living features are found in the desert? Assignment #1 As you walk along the paths of the Desert Botanical Garden, look around you. List some of the specific plants, animals, and other features that make up a desert. Feature observed Animal, plant, non-living? 1. air Non-living 2. 3. 4. 5. 1 2 Mystery #2 What human activities are harmful to the Sonoran desert? Assignment #2 Before we can preserve the desert, we need to think about how we are harming the desert. Think about what you have observed on the outskirts of the Phoenix area. List some of the human activities that may be harmful to the desert. Human activity that is harmful to the Place you observed this desert 1. 2. 3. Mystery #3 What can you do to preserve water in the Sonoran desert? About half the water city dwellers use goes for landscaping. By using less water in your landscape, you can preserve that water for the native plants and animals. Assignment #3 Bring the Sonoran desert into your urban landscape. a. List a variety of Sonoran desert plants that are low water users. Think about what kind of function each plant could provide in your landscape. For example, a low growing cactus would not provide shade but might provide a place for wildlife and beauty in your yard. Plant name Function (shade, color, food, wildlife, beauty) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. b. There are two places where drip irrigation systems are demonstrated at the Desert House, in the Technical Exhibit and in the yard just northeast of the Desert House. Explain why drip irrigation is better than sprinklers. 2 3 c. Explain why desert plants are better than grass. Mystery #4 What can you do to use less water? Assignment #4 Go into the Desert House technical exhibit and into the Information Center across from it. List some strategies for saving water in a house. Besides technology, think about changes in your behavior that could result in saving water. Method to save water Technology or Behavior? 1. Low flow showerhead Technology 2. Taking a quicker shower Behavior 3. 4. 5. 6. Mystery #5 How do you design a house that causes less air pollution? During the winter, thermal inversions trap polluted air over Phoenix causing a layer of smog, the "brown cloud". The smog irritates the eyes and lungs of wildlife and people. This brown cloud is generated by pollutants that come from the cars we drive and the energy that we consume. By consuming less energy, we reduce pollution and preserve desert habitat. 3 4 Assignment #5— a. Walk completely around the desert house. List some of the features it has to conserve energy. You may wish to go back into the Technical Exhibit or the Information Center across the courtyard. Think especially about our biggest energy user, air conditioning for cooling. Some hints to observe: Orientation of the house Color Window location (which side of the house has fewest) Shading by trees Building materials and insulation Location of the garage (occupied by Technical Exhibit) Features of house Explain how this feature conserves energy 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. b. Since most of us will never be able to design our own desert house, list some behavioral changes that could conserve energy in our own lives, both houses and cars. To save energy, I can Explain how this saves energy 1. 2. 3. 4. 4 5 Teacher's Follow-Up Exercise: Preserving the Desert 1. Your new neighbor wants to re-create his yard in Minnesota with grass, fountains, and high water use trees. Explain to your neighbor why this is not a good idea. 2. Explain why living in the suburbs and working in the city might be harmful to the desert. 3. Give two advantages of bringing the Sonoran desert into your urban landscape. 4. On a separate paper, design a Desert Landscape in your own yard. Be sure to think about shading and wildlife. Some common mistakes to avoid are putting spiny plants too close to walkways and planting trees that will be too large for an area when fully grown. 5. Marvin lives in an apartment building downtown. Serena lives in an individual house near the Superstition Mountains. Both work together downtown. Who is living a more energy efficient lifestyle? Defend your answer. 5 6 Teacher's Pre-lab for the Mystery of Desert Preservation 1. Many people think of the desert as a barren wasteland of sand devoid of plant and animal life. Based on what you have seen in the Sonoran desert, do you agree with this description? 2. What kinds of activities have you done in the desert? Do you think these activities were harmful, helpful or perhaps neither? 3. Where does our electricity come from that runs our air conditioners? Electricity is a non-polluting energy source. What types of pollutants are created by the plants that produce the electricity? 4. Where does our water come from? Could we live here in Phoenix if we did not have access to water? 6 7 7
