What is chutney and how do you use it?
Hi ya'll, I've canned a grand total of 12 pints of strawberry jam without pectin, 2 with pectin, 2 preserves and one syrup, all within the last 48 hours. and that is the grand total of my canning experience. I think I'm hooked. =0) I'm also a bit confused.
My cook books (not the canning ones) give examples or suggestions on what to do with this or that recipe..... serve with Ginger chicken, try with candied carrots, etc... But looking in the canning books (that would be the Ball book at this point) there isn't anything like that..... Some things.... jam, fruit jellies, applesauce, those I think I can figure out, but what the heck are chutneys? (OK the ball book explains what, just not how to use them) What do you do with green pepper jelly? (I don't think it's a PB&J kind of thing) Tomato jelly? There are a million (at least) recipes on the web, but even then most go to the point of "pull the jars out of the canner" and no further.
Now as my children will all attest to, I do not mind experimenting at all. Perhaps pepper jam is really good on something..... I'm just afraid of a revolt if I spend too long finding out WHAT it's good on (and they outnumber me). But I really hate reading a recipe that sounds like a good mix of flavors, or at least interesting, and then having to pass it by because I don't know what it's used for.
So is there a canning book (or heck even cookbook) out there that can tell me what Tomato Jelly goes with? Or the millions of chutneys? Or any of the other recipes that sound good? Or is this more of a look up each individual sauce on the net, and see if maybe I can find one recipe that has what to use it for?
Or am I over complicating the whole thing?
Thanks for any help

Chutneys are served on the side to accompany assorted curry dishes, or with cold meats - much the same ways as you'd use pickles or herb jellies. They are condiments. I like to toss in a spoonful or two of chutney into a meatloaf or meatballs just for a flavour change, or you can add some to a gravy for the same reason.
Use chutney with roast pork instead of apple sauce; with lamb instead of mint jelly; with turkey instead of cranberry sauce; with chicken nuggets instead of ketchup or sweet and sour sauce; with ham instead of mustard. Pour 1/4 cup over a block of cream cheese and serve with crackers or cocktail bread slices.
Mix 1 tablespoon into a mild vinaigrette to make a salad dressing.
Stir 1/4 cup or so into a pot of plain rice to make a pilaf.
Mix half mayonnaise and half chutney and serve on hamburgers.
Toss 1/4 cup with steamed broccoli, carrots or green beans.
Serve with baked sweet potatoes.
You can toss chutney or savoury jellies into sour cream or other base to make a dip. This mixture is delicious on jacket potatoes!
I've got heaps of pickle recipes - pickled mushrooms, pickled carrots, pickled this or that, and I often wonder how I'd serve them! I guess I'd just do it as I've described above, if ever I got around to making any.
As for the savoury jellies, they can be used as a condiment, on the edge of your plate to go with cold meats, or they can be spooned over hot vegetables for a flavour change. Personally, I think they're great on a sandwich with leftover, cold roast meats or chicken. I happen to like chutney or savoury jellies on a sandwich with cheese!
Really, uses are only limited by your imagination.
Wow!! It seems very versitile. =0)
Do they tend to be on the sweet side? With the amounts of sugar I would think they would have to be, but then there's the vingear.... I guess I'll just have to make a batch and see.
Thank you for your detailed answer. You've been very helpful.
my favorite chutneys are (like my favorite people) sweet AND hot!!!
the thing I can't figure out is why so many American chutneys have raisins in them.... I like the chutneys without raisins. Until the internet came along, I thought it wasn't chutney unless it had raisins. And then I had some great tomato chutney in London (my firsts and only trip) and went wild-- no raisins!!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of canning, and this forum!
Don't worry, as addictions go, it's pretty harmless, and the side effecs are GREAT, other than the fact that you run out of room in your pantry/basement/home to store all your canned goods, and you get a bit crazy when you pass a farmer's market....
There are a few preserving books that give better suggestions than the BBB on how to use things. But it's true that many exist in a vacuum!
I can help you out with the pepper jelly: It is FAB on crackers with cream cheese. (At least, the red is. I like red peppers so much better than green I wouldn't bother with green pepper jelly.) It also makes a nice glaze for a pork tenderloin.
Chutneys I mostly eat with Indian food. Which in my small town means buying a jar of Patak's sauce and cooking it up with some diced chicken, then serving over basmati rice. A chutney or two on the side, and a little raita (a sort of cool salad with yogurt, e.g. with grated cucumbers & a bit of mint), makes it feel like a meal.
I hate raisins and other little dead black flies, too, so I usually omit them from any recipe. On the rare occasion I add them to a chutney (to be 'genuine'), I spend a lot of time picking them out and discarding them before bottling.
How silly is THAT??
i like raisins in some things ... just not in chutney ... I think I object to the way they swell up and pretend to be grapes again. For the sake of authenticity, can we just throw them in the food processor.
Incidentally I have a chutney recipe that calls for 2 D ground ginger ... is that the infamous dessert spoon?
AND is there a difference between UK D and Aust D?
I also like chutney on turkey sandwiches, but then again, I like hot pepper jelly on turkey sandwiches too. I also like both on bagels with cream cheese.
Some of my chutney is sweet, some less so. All have the "hot" spices, either "savory hot" like peppers or sweet hot like ginger and cinnamon.
The tomato marmalade is wonderful on corn muffins, BTW, thanks to a jar I got from RobinKate.
I have never seen D used as an abbreviation for dessertspoon. Out of curiosity, I'd like to see the recipe.
I would imagine that the British dessertspoon is the same as the Australian dessertspoon, but I don't know for sure, never having been there.
The teaspoons are the same and as a dessertspoon is two teaspoons, there shouldn't be a difference. There is a difference in the tablespoon, as the Australian tablespoon is 20 ml. (4 tsp.) and the American and British tablespoon is 15 ml. (3 tsp.). In many cases it isn't critical, but in baking it could certainly make a difference.
Like Daisy, I've never seen "D" used as an abbreviation, and I have lots of British and Australian cookbooks. That would be 4 teaspoons, so unless it's a large recipe, it's a lot of ground ginger. Perhaps a typo?
I do love chutney and have no objection to "grape pretenders," aka raisins, especially the golden sultanas. Chutneys are great on meat sandwiches but really shine with cheese. They can also enhance the character of many a bland casserole, including plain baked beans.
Recipe follows (Daisey, I can't put my hands on your conversion chart ... do the lbs/kg numbers compute? I made it using 2 tsps chopped fresh ginger and thought something was lacking)
Green Tomato Chutney
A good chutney. There are several important points to remember: the chutney will burn if you're not careful. Also, be careful with ground ginger; this spice is unusual in that it's stronger than the fresh variety. Finally, chutney mellows and improves, the longer its kept.
2 1/2lb 1kg Green tomatoes
2 1/2lb 1kg Cooking apples
2lb 900g Onions
6 Large cloves garlic
1lb 450g Raisins
1lb 6oz 625g Soft brown sugar
1oz 25g Pickling spice
1/2t Cayenne
2 level D Ground ginger
1/2t Salt
3pt 1.75l Vinegar
Coarsely chop and then waz all the big bits in a food processor. Mix all the ingredients up in (probably two moderately-sized) pans(s). Bring to the boil and simmer until cooked (about 3 hr's). You can tell when it's done, because a trail left by a spoon will not fill with liquid for several seconds. Store for at least 3 months
source is: erb.org.uk/cookbook
Here's a translation for you! This is how I'd do it.
2 1/2lb 1.5kg Green tomatoes
2 1/2lb 1.5kg Cooking apples
2lb 1kg Onions
6 Large cloves garlic
1lb 500g Raisins
1lb 6oz 660g Soft brown sugar (what a weird measurement - I'd make it 1 1/2lb - 750g, or for a less sweet result 500g/1lb)
1oz 30g Pickling spice
1/2t Cayenne
2 level D Ground ginger (I'd say dessertspoons - make it 4 teaspoons or 1 Australian tablespoon).
1/2t Salt
3pt 1800ml Vinegar (if it's a British recipe, pints are 20oz, 600ml.)
You'll see a lot of conversions for 1oz as 25g. Ignore them. It's 30g (rounded). The actual figure is 28.something - so that's closer to 30, isn't it, than 25?
I really love mango chutney. And my all time favorite way of eating it?....Over corn chips of course (the salty little ones not tortilla chips although that is good too). DH and I have gone through canner loads of mango chutney in this fashion. Not very fancy but oh so good.
Daisy's translation sounds good. Personally I would not whizz the stuff in a processor. a) I haven't got one and b) I like my chutney to have some texture other than slime. Chutney is very forgiving and quite often I just chuck in whatever spices take my fancy at the time and I frequently leave out stuff and substitute. Unlike jam and jelly it doesn't need to gel, just to thicken so proportions are not critical. The vinegar makes a differenc to both flavour and colour. I always use malt vinegar which gives a dark brown result and strong pickly flavour.
The classic Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich takes on a whole new dimension with chutney replacing the jelly, on whole wheat toast. Which I'll have for lunch, I think, using some cherry and chipotle (smoked jalapeño) chutney.
Some of the best restaurants here in Sacramento serve chutney as an appetizer alongside warm brie, roasted garlic and crackers or toast. It makes a wonderful combo putting the three together on melba toast rounds, crostini or toasted sourdough or french bread. Ummmm! Put "chutney brie garlic combination" in your search engine and watch the delicious results (check the images)! Nice on pork and turkey too!
The Apricot Chutney in the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving is WONDERFUL!!! I love it, especially served with roast pork or chicken (and if the meat ended up a little dry or overcooked, the chutney REALLY improves it).
Tomato jam can be used where ketchup might be used - so on burgers, sandwiches (delicious with turkey sandwiches). It's also delicious on crackers with cream cheese or an herbal dip (my preference). Some like them on a rustic bread with a soft cheese.
The pepper jellies are very often warmed up a bit (if too firm) and poured over a brick of cream cheese to serve with crackers and small bread slices at parties. Absolutely yummy. The cream cheese can help with the heat of the pepper jellies if they are a little too hot (many people love them that way). They also can be a lovely glaze for grilled meats like chicken.

Mini Skirt
My DH picked up Mini Skirt for me today and the owner of the company gave me Heuchera 'Frost' from the Little Cutie series. What a nice surprise!
It could be because I paid for Ruffed Up but it won't be ready until the end of May - maybe it is for interest earned on my money :)
Mini Skirt and Ruffed Up are in my top five right now. We must really have similar tastes. Mini Skirt is the first mini I've really been taken by. Not true, actually I think Cameo and Pandora's Box are enchanting. But that frothy, frilly look plus the thicker leaves that give it some backbone...I just love the look of it.
Both of those are really cute. Mini Skirt is awesome!
I have one mouse hosta, and it is doing fine. Survived the winter undamaged by the squirrels. And I think I took a picture of it today. May I share?
Snow Mouse. It's the prettiest one in the bowl.
It also has excellent substance. The other two are Oze (which lost its variegation) and Marquis
Share, please! The more hosta photos, the better.
I put my first few 'Mice' in the following container, I think in 2011 but I lost Mighty Mouse that winter. It must have been to cold in there without insulation.
I had to replace Mighty Mouse and then I built the rock wall and a little bed at the end for the 'Mice'. I have put mini conifers in there, too.
I pushed around the dirt a wee bit yesterday with my fingers, and I think they all have survived :)
Mocc, you have got to check out some of the micro, mini, teensy, tiny conifers out there! My favorite nursery has a fairy garden section that just to die for! When my kids earn rewards or chore money, they usually ask for new additions to the fairy garden instead of toys or treats. :) win-win!!
I had to switch to miniatures due to lack of space, but I still buy larger hostas and put them in pots!
The conifers are real. Some of them stay small and some of them are really, really slow growing so they are considered miniatures. I purchased three more conifers at the garden show two weekends ago to add to my mini bed.

LONDON (AP) -- Kate Winslet's new husband has won an injunction in a British court to stop a tabloid newspaper from publishing photos of him at a costume party.
RELATED: Leonardo DiCaprio walked Kate Winslet down the aisle at Ned Rocknroll wedding, source says
England's High Court ruled Tuesday in favor of Ned Rocknroll, issuing an order preventing The Sun from running the images, pending the outcome of his invasion of privacy claim. Lawyers for The Sun say the photos show Rocknroll partly naked.

The nephew of Virgin media tycoon, Richard Branson, says there is no public interest in running the 2010 photos. His lawyers argue Winslet's children could be bullied as a result of publication.

Rocknroll says he had been a "relative nobody" prior to his marriage to Winslet last month.

We had a lovely Italian meal here. Restaurant has a lovely ambiance and the service was very good. We had no concern over portion size as we were all unable to have dessert as our entrees were large. We were a party of three and shared one appetizer and then each had an entree so were surprised to read someone thought portions small. We all had pasta dishes. There was a large variety of vegetarian choices for the one in our group. Enjoyed everything we ordered and thought the food was excellent!

This is a person who generally refuses to purchase anything at normal prices. They make it a habit to wait for sales to hit a low point on things they want to buy. Then try to sweeten their deal by offering a lower price knowing the seller is anxious to sell. Generally this pisses the seller off but just to move the inventory many times they cave-in to the buyer price.
"I got this new Yahama 1000 advertised in the paper at cost and this bottom feeder shows up wanting to buy it for $300 under cost."
"It is always the case that as soon as I mark the items down to wholesale prices the bottom feeders come in and want even more off knowing I need to move this inventory."

Someone who is willing to do just about anything to get a deal. It doesn't matter if what they're buying is junk, if they feel that the price is good, they'll do anything to get the deal (including standing in long-lines for hours and clipping dozens of coupons to physical violence and door crashing).
(Between two salesmen) Yep, we've got this $39 off-brand DVD player for all of the bottom feeders. Don't try to upsell them on anything else, just ring them up and get them the hell out of our store. We'll see them again when it breaks after two weeks of use, then we'll get them into a entry level piece.

Scene & Heard: All charged up on Monday Night
The lights, the fireworks, the appearance by the governor's wife for the coin toss … there's nothing quite like Monday Night Football. There's a certain buzz, an energy.
It wasn't even spoiled by the dreaded return of The Wave.
The Chargers played the first three minutes as if they were digesting a buffet dinner, but after that they were spectacularly primetime in their 35-14 win over the Denver Broncos.
They showed the rest of the country that after their 2-5 start they might have some gas left.
"It's a great buzz," said Chargers cornerback Antoine Cason, who was playing in his third Monday Night game. "Everyone else plays on Sunday, and then Monday night it's just us. (To win) a game in the division makes it that much sweeter."
Monday night has been good to the Chargers. Going back to their first appearance in 1970, they are 19-14 on Mondays, and quarterback Philip Rivers is 5-1.
The Broncos have played the fourth-most games in MNF history – 62 – but the record isn't exactly impressive. They are 27-33-1.
Grass isn't always greener
The nation must have been wondering: All that sun and they can't grow grass in San Diego?
Following Saturday's slop fest for the Aztecs game, the Qualcomm Stadium field looked positively awful live, so it must have been really frightening in HD. There were more divots on the field than on a driving range.
Weird, because it looked like they played the entire SDSU game on the east end. That's where there were bare spots 5 yards deep. The west was mostly fine, which is probably why Norv Turner allowed Nate Kaeding to try a 52-yard field goal in the first half that came up about 2 yards short.
Lines overheard
When the Broncos opened the game with a way-too-easy touchdown drive in just less than three minutes: ""They worked too much on special teams. Didn't spend any time on defense."
After tight end Kory Sperry, called up Monday from the practice squad, caught the Chargers' first pass of the night: "The Chargers could beat most practice squads in the league. They ought to start a practice squad league."
After punter Mike Scifres completed a pass in the first quarter: "At least they didn't block it."
Following receiver Patrick Crayton's attempt at a delicate touch pass in the second quarter, which overthrew because Darren Sproles was blanketed: "He's no Mike Scifres."
The crowd after Philip Rivers lumbered 9 yards to get a first down in the third quarter: "M-V-P! M-V-P!"
Paper or plastic?
The grocery store Albertson's sponsors a "Sack of the Game." This "award" is less about merit than expediency. The Chargers' first sack is always the "Sack of the Game" because they don't want to take a chance there isn't another one.
That was really too bad this time. After notching the first sack, linebacker Shaun Phillips produced the Bolts' sack of the year in the second quarter when he leaped a blocker and hustled from one hash mark to the other to cut down Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton for an 11-yard loss.

Homemade bubble bath?
I was wondering if anyone has made any homemade bubble bath here. I've been looking at recipes online - Most of them are very similiar - they call for a bar of castille soap, shredded, a quart or so of water and some kind of essential oil or scent, and glycerine. It sounds good to me, but none of the recipes on various sites have said how much of this concoction you'd have to use in a bath to get bubbles. I would hate to make a quart of this if I had to pour half of it in the tub to get bubbles. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Well I found 2 recipes.. hopefully one will work for you. :0)
Bubble Bath (moisturizing)
1/2C soap flakes
1C boiling water
3T sweet almond oil
few drops essential oils (optional)
Dissolve soap in boiling water. Immediately add almond oil to water mixture, then EO. Stir constantly while you add 4-5 T of the solution to your bath.
The rest can be used later, but must be remixed. Shelf life one month.
I would put this in a bottle so you can just shake it. I don't know how much I personally like this one.. because unless it is moving while you pour it in.. it sounds like it separates. Not fun!
Next one! Which is the one I really think you are looking for. :0)
Basic Bubble Bath
1 quart water
1 bar castile soap, shredded
2 oz. Glycerin
3 drops fragrance oil
Add castile soap to hot/warm water. Mix until you have a liquid solution. Add glycerin and mix. Add fragrance.
This one sounds way better, but I thought I would give you both so you can decide yourself. Have fun with your bubbles!
Stacy of Lone Tree Soaps
The reason the recipes don't tell you how much to use is that if you're using soap to make bath water foamy, the amount required depends on the amount of bath water times the "hardness" of the water. In many waters it could require more than an entire bar of soap to make a full tub foamy. This is very different from conventional bath foams, where the amount you need is practically independent of the water. For most people, a bubble bath based on actual soap soap is not practicable. Although some people used soap powder or flakes to make a bubble bath before (or even after) foamier alternatives were available, to get enough suds that way you have to make the water pretty soapy, which will tend to dry skin and/or make it itchy afterward.

Anyone else having delays with home closing?
We received and finalized an offer in mid March with an original closing date of April 30. Our buyer is using a loan office who is a broker, meaning he works through many lenders while other loan originators work for their own companies. This has caused numerous delays in the process since it appears underwriters are extremely backed up and are therefore working on loans originating through their own companies before they get to ones originating through brokers. Apparently when the market went bad, a lot of people were laid off, and now that itÂs picking up a bit more, they donÂt want to hire anyone yet, so everything is just really backed up. We were told that what was taking 20-30 days to review was now taking 45-60.
So here it is, a month and a half past our original closing date and we still havenÂt gotten our clear to close yet! The underwriter (UW) finally got to the buyerÂs loan application last week. They wanted a little more information (some additional comps and something else on the buyerÂs end) so we got that turned in and were told the UW had 48 hours to review it and get back with us. At the end of the 48 hours, the UW came back wanting more information (days on the market for all the comps weÂd sent--what difference could that possibly make?--and something else clarified on the buyerÂs end). Seriously, why canÂt the UW ask for all this information at the same time, instead of piecemeal?
Anyway, the latest request for more information was on Thursday, so I guess 48 hours would be sometime today. WeÂll either get another request for more information or weÂll get the clear to close. ItÂs just so frustrating to already be delayed by a month and a half and now to have to wait on one person who doesnÂt seem to care about anyone elseÂs timeline but their own!
My son in law was in the finance field in Charlotte. We all know what happened in that field. He was laid off in April from his job and within a week had 3 offers from capital mortgage firms offering him positions as a mortgage loan originator. He went to the class to become certified and two weeks ago he started his job as a mortgage loan originator, working on commission only. They are so backed up he's working 6 days a week just to try to catch up. His company is still hiring new people daily to try to catch up with all the refinances etc going on. Most of these new people are inexperienced and it's entirely possible that things are falling through the cracks. So I don't think it's that the UW doesn't care about you or your situation. I think if it's anything like my son in laws position, the UW is overwhelmed and things will fall through the cracks. I know that's small consolation for you, sorry.
Don't even get me started! (see fsbo property offer thread)
We're supposed to close on Wednesday.
We just found out Saturday morning that the appraiser came in $10K below sale price. UW wants to drop it another $5K.
Comps used are ridiculous - the only thing in common is sqft of townhouse. Appraiser dismissed # BR and # total rooms to consider only sqft. Says we're not waterfront, although we've certainly been taxed as waterfront forever! (Technically, there is 20' of common area between our unfenced "backyard" and the water.)
Buyer has a rate lock and needs to close ASAP.
Loan officer using my arguments for a rebuttal, but who knows how that will go?
Had the same problem closing on our construction loan. It's all the refinancing going on. Everything is backed up, especially the appraisers who are working under new rules.
Loan officers are also affected. Ours was prohibited from having direct contact with appraiser.
Emily, no; or should I say in NJ no.
The closing date on the contract is a "good faith" date.. basically between the buyer & seller that they'll do everything to try to close by that date.
Now, if you're buying new like we did, we did have a date but it was able to change until they sent the actual "call to closing" letter" with their pick, which could or could not be the date agreed upon.
Emily, we just kept filling out an extension with the buyer. Luckily, the buyer was willing to hang in there (good thing since it was THEIR fault we had all the delays in closing). In good news, we did finally get the clear to close on Wednesday and closed last Friday. Yay!
I'm printing out about 50 sheets of documents to sign and notarize as I type...hope the ink cartridge holds out...and hope I can figure out which ones need 8 copies and which ones don't and get this overnighted out of here. (I'm in FL, townhouse in MD, why are all my home sales out of whatever state I'm in?)
If we had closed last week, this would be simple. This week my DH is in Denver at a conference and they have to send him everything to print out at the hotel's business center and get notarized and overnighted, too.
Keeping fingers crossed until Friday!
If it ain't the lender, it's the builder. My original estimated completion date = 12/15/07, Actual "Close of Escrow" delayed by Ryland Homes = 1/18/08, Move In date = 2/3/08. No wonder a new trend is for people to stay put where they are when they retire. Moving to a new area is stressful enough, but when you have to put up with many other challenges, you think twice about whether it is worth it or not.
Its been terrible for us to. I know how you feel. We started closing in the middle of March and we still have not closed. Everytime we turn around they need new information. We built and the construction loan is killing us. I hope to hear something by tomorrow.
Ohhhh, Pleeeeze!!!!! I thought my brother and I were going to kill each other!!! We have been waiting for a close on our mom's home (she has moved into an apartment) since the end of Feb.! The home had been on the market for what will be two years this Sept. The home is 60+ years old, needs updating, is on a main street and had been a combo Doctors office in the front and his private home in the back. We had a bunch of what we thought were low but acceptable offers at the begining, which endend up never going anywhere. For what ever reason, I guess it is just the market, we would have buyers make offers that we would accept, sign the non binding offer to purchase papers with a small refundable deposit and just sit back and wait for the market to continue to spiral downward and walk away for something more attractive!!!! And we had this happen 3 times! After price drop, and more price drops (almost $300K on a what started as a $700K home - the market just kept on dropping and dropping and we were trying to keep up with it) and getting a new REA, we finally had an offer that was acceptable to all in in Jan. '09. Soooooo, we went through inspection, did several repairs and then waited, and waited and waited for the buyer to get financing. He did not want to go the conventional route as he was trying to get a business loan for the property and there were lots of hoops he had to go through in order to get the loan. It was to take time and we understood that. Nothing seemed to be happening except the closing date being moved back every few weeks. April's closing came and went so we finally called our lawyer and told him to tell the buyer that he had one more week to get his financing in order or the home would go back on the market. We knew the buyer was very interested in the property so we gave him a first right of refusal. Then, Surprise! our lawyer got a call from the buyers' lawyer saying the buyer was just having too much trouble getting financing together and we should just put the house back on the market!!!! GEEEEEZ, Thanks!!! We did tag him for our lawyers fees but there was not much else we could do! We put it back on at the last price we listed in Jan. and got another offer immediately for more than the first buyer offered!! Our closing is now set for August and we are on top this daily. Just crossing our fingers. What is sad, though, is we have not been upfront with our elderly mom and don't want to upset her. On the other hand we listed our own home and had an accepted offer in 12 weeks, closing at the begining of Aug, and everything is going very smoothly. Let's hope it stays that way!!
And people wonder why buyers are being required to submit a pre-approval letter with their offer? (Not that this guarantees anything, in my experiences noted above, but it's a little better than having folks start the financing process after the offer.)
Update: We did finally close and the clock is ticking for us to identify our replacement property....(1031 exchange)....

We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us
from Kanye West (Ft. Syleena Johnson) – All Falls Down Lyrics on Genius
In the last few lines Kanye was referring to rich people, now he switches to African-Americans.
The best way to keep teeth "shinin'" is to floss, as your dentist would tell you. And if you don't floss, your teeth will deteriorate.
"Flossing" can also mean exhibiting jewellery. Ye opines that African-Americans like to wear jewellery and show off money as a response to racism against them. Being flashy can help to heal a shattered self-esteem and it also sends a big "fuck you" to haters. The next verse expands on this theory in detail.

I'm happy to present my third set of icons
The Icons are transparent, and they dont have the white box background:
v2 & v2.2 previews are attached..
I'd like to thank everybody over at MobileUnderground.info.
I found various icons around the web and customized them myself.
I'm not very good at making cabs so you have to use an icon changer like, HComber and what not.
Installation: UnRAR the file and extract the icons to a folder on your SD card.
I also included my background templates in .xcf(GIMP format, maybe Photoshop too, idk) just in case you want to add your own icons.
Feel free to request some icons too!
If you want to use my icons in your ROM, please PM first.
Donations are appreciated!
none yet..

Solar Day, on July 27th, is an opportunity for the community to learn about the mechanics and benefits of increasing usage of solar power. Despite the state's problems with pollution, Utah is still one of the highest coal-burning states, and a switch to renewable solar energies could help address the winter smog and other problems.
Utah's very own Ghostbusters discuss the energies that sometimes stay behind in old houses, and the way they identify and connect with spirits.

Loss of LB Harrison shuffles Steelers lineup
October, 4, 2011
By Jamison Hensley | ESPN.com
Steelers linebacker James Harrison will miss "a number of weeks" after having eye surgery, coach Mike Tomlin announced at his news conference.
This is a major setback for Pittsburgh's inconsistent pass rush and will require the defense to shuffle its lineup. With backup Jason Worilds out with a quadriceps injury, starting inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons will move to Harrison's spot on the outside and Larry Foote will start at inside linebacker.
Harrison, a four-time Pro Bowl player, has a right orbital fracture around his eye socket and will have surgery Wednesday.
There is a chance that Harrison could be back in three weeks. As AFC West blogger Bill Williamson pointed out, Raiders running back Darren McFadden missed 18 days of practice in this year's training camp when he fractured an orbital bone. And McFadden hasn't shown any long-term effects.
If this timetable is right for Harrison, the Steelers would have him back when they play the New England Patriots and Tom Brady on Oct. 30.
Where the Steelers will miss the 2008 Defensive Player of the Year the most is getting to the quarterback. Pittsburgh is already having trouble with its pass rush with seven sacks in four games, which is tied for the ninth-fewest in the NFL.
Not only will the Steelers lose Harrison's sack production (three straight seasons of double-digit sacks), but offenses will now turn their attention -- and double teams -- to LaMarr Woodley.

Kate Upton was recently spotted doing a little shopping in Paris with her The Other Woman costar Leslie Mann, who's hidden behind someone's head in the photo above while leaving the Saint Laurent boutique. Kate is carrying a Fendi 3Jours Shopping Tote.
Fendi Handbags and Purses(Page 3)
Here's Cindy Crawford at LAX, scurrying past some overzealous autograph seekers while carrying a sleek, black Fendi Peekaboo Bag. (Are you completely disturbed by the small boy holding a pic of Cindy grasping her own boobs? Me too!) You can purchase the Selleria version of Cindy's Fendi bag for $5,050 at Barneys, as well as peep at the "peekaboo" elements of this bag, which are not so obvious in these pics.
Here's Lily Allen, leaving her hotel in NYC and carrying a Fendi Fur Peekaboo Bag. She's also wearing Christian Louboutin Glitter Pigalle Pumps and a Chanel tunic, not that you'd have trouble identifying either. Lily has been in town for a while now and always seems to have a little Chanel on her person.
Bag: Fendi Demi-Jour Small Color-Block Shoulder Bag
Price: $1,850
Where to Buy: Purchase via Net-A-Porter
Why it's the Bag of the Week: Sleek, refined, perfectly color-blocked, plenty large to carry your essentials (plus it's been on my mind for months), this bag has my hearts this week.
After two seasons in a row of furry, futuristic, ultra-covetable wildness from the brand, Fendi's Fall 2014 Handbags are a bit of a step back toward simplification, if only a small one. There's a bit less fur, fewer textural embellishments and not as many colors residing on a single purse, but there's still the signature Fendi look that Karl Lagerfeld has taken care to develop over the past few years.
You can say a lot of things about Fendi creative director Karl Lagerfeld, but you can't claim the man doesn't have a sense of humor about himself. Fendi, a brand that knows as well as any other when it has a hit on its hand and how to maximize its success, opened its Fall 2014 runway show (full coverage of the show's handbags is coming your way at noon) with one of the brand's popular Bag Bugs in the visage of Lagerfeld himself, held aloft daintily by Cara Delevingne so that one and all could snap clear pictures of it for Instagram and beyond.
By now, you're all well-acquainted with Fendi Bag Bugs, Buggies or Monsters (the name seems to vary depending on the retailer, time of day and direction of the wind), and even if you're not interested in the $700+ handbag charms, you've probably noticed that they tend to move pretty quickly for something that lacks legs and is also otherwise inanimate.
The men's versions of Fashion Week never get nearly as much attention as the women's do, but there are still exciting details to find within the menswear collections, even if bags are your main concern. After yesterday's Fendi Men's Fall 2014 show, several images of a very particular bag popped up: the Fendi Men's Peekaboo, this one (captured by Tamu McPherson of All The Pretty Birds on Instagram) with the ever-popular monster facade that's gained Fendi so much accessories traction in the past six months.
With several seasons of success for the Fendi 2Jours Tote, it's only natural that we're now seeing brand new bag shapes based on the best-selling original. The smaller Demi-Jour shoulder bag popped up first, and now for those of you who carry everything you own on a daily basis comes the Fendi 3Jours Bag (Or the Trois-Jours, depending on who you ask.)
Like the Demi-Jour, this bag brings over the metal bar trim that serves as the most distinctive design detail of the 2Jours, but it does it in a way that's modified to serve the structure of the big, roomy tote.
