Looking at our Libraries: Everyone has their reasons for preferring one library branch over another
Everyone's got favorites. This is true for libraries, current and past. My favorite of the past was the Purchase Free Library in Westchester County when I lived in the northern part of the town of Harrison, north of New York City.
It was small, housed in a stone building, the Purchase Community House. Mrs. Elmiger, the librarian, was straight out of central casting, petite, soft-spoken and a friend of all. The library, with its shelves of books, and the community center's after-school program and summer day camp, made it a busy place, year round.
This was in the days when each book in the library had a pocket glued to the inside cover containing a card listing recent borrowers. So much for privacy, but it was handy on occasion when I would consider taking out a novel, only to discover I had read it a year before.
Here, our library system has 10 locations spread over the more than 2,000 square miles of land in Collier County. (Did you know that we have the largest land area of any county in Florida? A few others have a larger total area, but they add in water area.)
In the fall of 2007, upon being named to the Friends of the Library board of directors, I decided to visit all 10 of the Collier County libraries and to do it in one afternoon. Up until that time, my library haunts were limited to the then rather new headquarters at Orange Blossom Drive and Airport-Pulling Road, my neighborhood branch just west of U.S. 41 on Vanderbilt Beach Road, and the one on Central Avenue in Naples.
I drove from Vanderbilt Beach Road (1) down U.S. 41 to the Central Avenue location (2). Then back onto U.S. 41 to the East Naples Branch (3), south of Rattlesnake Hammock Road. Backtracking north on U.S. 41, I turned right at Rattlesnake-Hammock, got to Grand Lely Drive, and then left onto Lely Cultural Parkway, arriving at the new South Regional Library (4). I visited Marco Island (5) next, and then Everglades City (6) followed by Immokalee (7). From there, it was Immokalee Road to Wilson Boulevard to 1266 Golden Gate Boulevard West, the Estates Branch (8). Only two were left, the Golden Gate Branch (9), Collier Boulevard to Golden Gate Parkway, and Headquarters (10), which I got to by continuing on Golden Gate Parkway to Airport to Orange Blossom. Whew! Each location has its own ambiance.
Most people's favorite library is based on geography. Which is the closest? I do have to tell you what I heard a man say at a meeting, voicing his strong preference for the small library on Vanderbilt Beach Road over the large headquarters on Orange Blossom. Both were equally close to his home. He said it is 100 steps from the handicap parking space there to the entrance and then another 100 steps to the men's room. But, both the entrance and men's room are reachable with many fewer steps at the Vanderbilt Beach Road branch. Very important considerations for him.

DragonForce Announce Details of New Album
London's DragonForce have announced an April 17 release date for their upcoming new album, The Power Within. The cover art for the album has also been unveiled, along with the track listing, both of which you can check out below.
The Power Within marks the band's first album with new singer Marc Hudson, who replaced ZP Theart upon his departure in 2010.
"The last two years have been the most fun we ever had making an album," said guitarist Herman Li. "Through writing, jamming and touring together, we have built this incredible energy and it has been fully captured on the new album."
The band also claim that they've reached new heights in speed on The Power Within, writing their fastest song yet.
"This time around we've really brought our metal side to the surface and made some of the best music of our career," said Li. "From the fastest song we've ever recorded to the slower songs, and some things you would never expect from us, this is by far the most diverse DragonForce album yet."
The Power Within Track Listing:
1. Holding On
2. Fallen World
3. Cry Thunder
4. Give Me the Night
5. Wings of Liberty
6. Seasons
7. Heart of the Storm
8. Die By the Sword
9. Last Man Stands
10. Seasons (Acoustic Version)

Product description
The role and function of law in religious communities in the Roman period--especially in Judaism--has been a key issue among scholars in recent years. This thought-provoking work is the first full-scale attempt to write a historical assessment of the scholarly debate concerning this question, focussing on two closely related religious communities, Judaism and Christianity. By juxtaposing the two religions, a clearer understanding of the developments with respect to torah and nomos in Judaism and early Christianity emerges. This insightful work, placing emphasis on the major figures and both the scholarly lines of development and the appropriate lines for future research, will set the debate in a clearer and more and succinct manner. It will serve as a critical point of reference for further discussion.

Wireless local number portability: GSM vs. CDMA

a new phone at this time? I just purchased a phone three months ago.
One of the remarkable benefits of Local Number Portability (LNP) is that subscribers can pack up their old cell phone numbers and move them to a new wireless carrier. This is a significant asset to businesses that want to move to a new carrier, but do not want to go through the pain and expense of changing business numbers and potentially losing customers. You may also be able to take your phone along with you, providing the wireless carriers use identical wireless technologies. A CDMA phone, for example, is not going to work on a GSM network. Therefore, AT&T Wireless' GSM and EDGE phones are not going to work on Verizon's CDMA networks.
The good news is that most carriers are offering great deals on wireless phones if you should make the LNP leap, and even throwing in deals to allow you to swap phones every year for no or low-cost to keep up with the technology. The bad news is you may be asked to ink a two-year agreement for these perks. Also, if you presently have a contract with AT&T Wireless, you may have to pay an early-exit penalty of dropping out before the agreed time is up. This fee could equal several hundred dollars. Our advice: Wait a bit to see who acquires AT&T Wireless and then make your decision after the dust settles. You may find yourself in a better wireless neighborhood, without having to go through the hassle of early termination fees and phone swaps.

Sell-side M&A work is mostly a pretty good and lucrative business model but it has a few flaws. Try to spot a key one here:

(3) then the buyer acquires the target, fires all the directors and officers, changes the locks, and replaces the stationery;
(4) then you get paid.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area

Boston, 2009
Thomas (.933)
Fernandez (.910) - Backup
League Average (.908)
2006: Kiprusoff (.923); LA (.901)
2007: Brodeur (.922); LA (.905)
2008: Brodeur (.920); LA (.909)
2009: Mason (.916); LA (.908) - Runner-Up
2010: Miller (.928); LA (.911)
2011: Thomas (.938); LA (.913)
2011: Rask (.918); LA (.913) - Backup
2012: Lundqvist (.930); LA (.914)
I stand by what I
said - Thomas' 2009 was an average Vezina year. If he had that exact same year in 2006, he would have finished 2nd behind Hart finalist Kiprusoff. If he had it in 2007, he would have finished 3rd behind Hart finalists Brodeur and Luongo. He would have competed with Brodeur and Nabokov in 2008 - not sure who would have won out of that trio. In 2010? Probably second to Miller.
In 2011? Second to himself from that year
In 2012? Probably third to Lundqvist and Quick.
Honestly, Thomas' 2009, while deserving of the Vezina, might have been the least impressive Vezina year since the lockout. It easily could have been a 2nd place finish in another year. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a weak Vezina like 1996 or anything; it was pretty average.
Edit: I mean, it wasn't that long ago. In 2008-09, did anyone think we were witnessing an all-time great season from Thomas? I sure didn't. He was the best goalie that year, quite clearly, but it wasn't some all-time amazing performance or anything.

Could not of asked for a more comfortable, relaxed place to live in for the winter season. The burfield chairlift is right across the road for quick access to the slopes.
Extremely comfy couches too!
Exceeded all of my expectations. I am a 68 year old male skier and I found myself amongst a collection of +/- 15 youngsters from around the world. They do clean-up after themselves !

Staying at the Sun Peaks hostel feels more like being a a guest in someone's home than staying in a hostel. We were lucky enough to get a private room. The quiet times were respected by the other guests and we slept solidly! The owners were up about about cooking pancakes for everyone in the morning and coffee was hot...
Everything was better than you could imagine. This place has character and an environment that is so homely and welcoming.

I don't recommend the Hostel, especially if you aren't friendly with dogs... The owners did just the minimum to welcome us. The cleanness was not the best point of the hostel! Everything is quite small and messy!

The hostel is fantastic! The owners are positive and caring and make your stay super enjoyable, also the free pancakes in the morning are great. Comfortable beds and right across the road from the burfield chairlift!
Stayed here on our first trip to Sun Peaks after our house mate stayed here, and wasn't disappointed, but wasn't overly impressed.
The owners are lovely and take great care of you. Free pancakes in the morning are always a positive!
The room itself was quite small, but the beds were comfortable enough.
Location is across the road from the...
Stayed in this hostel when we first arrived in Sun Peaks and ended up staying long term over the 2012 winter season. I have stayed in many hostels throughout my travels and this hostel has been one of my favourite. This hostel has everything you need and provides such a comfortable and cosy space not to mention the amazing family...
We booked to stay at the hostel for a week while we were looking for accommodation in Sun Peaks for the season. It was our first hostel experience and I cannot fault it. It looks like a small place but inside it is rather roomy and very welcoming. Darlene (the lady that runs the hostel) is the nicest, most caring...
I traveled for a few months to BC, Canada and stayed in Sun Peaks Hostel for 5 weeks (part jan & feb) so peak ski season.

Great shoe!!

Comments about Womens Nike Internationalist Casual Shoe:
Great shoe right out of the box. Took them on a trip to Europe and wore them almost every day without any chafing or issues. I have high arches and this shoe accommodated that beautifully. Good cushioning too. I didn't have a the chance to break them in before I went on my trip, but they were flexible and comfortable from day one.I read somewhere that this style runs 1/2 size smaller than a person's usual size in Nike's. I did not find that to be the case. I recommend to buy whatever Nike size you usually wear.AWESOME customer service from RoadRunner Sports!!! Thanks!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A review of Han Gong-ju from a Far Flung Correspondent.
An obituary for film icon Jerry Weintraub.
A TV review of IFC's "The Spoils Before Dying" and HBO's "7 Days in Hell."
"4 Minute Mile" at least has the decency to acknowledge that it's aware of its underdog sports-movie clichés, especially the ones that made "The Karate Kid" such an '80s classic.
Kelly Blatz, as a troubled but talented high school runner named Drew, doesn't understand why the aging, alcoholic coach Coleman (Richard Jenkins) makes him perform all kinds of manual labor when he should be training him for the regional track meet. Among the grueling work that Drew is forced to endure: Sanding the coach's dilapidated boat while coach himself sits back and enjoys yet another cigarette. "Wax on, wax off," Coleman says with a wry smile.
Director Charles-Olivier Michaud and writers Josh Campbell and Jeff Van Wie use this rare moment of humor to say what we're all thinking as viewers. Yet the filmmakers remain unrelenting in running through a checklist of genre conventions. There's the good-hearted kid from the wrong side of the tracks, the mentor seeking his own redemption, the trash-talking competitor, the mom struggling to keep her family together and the sweetly supportive girlfriend. And the montages—oh, so many montages. "Even 'Rocky' had a montage," to quote a song from the great "Team America: World Police."
Still, "4 Minute Mile" is efficient in its storytelling—which is fitting, given that it's about a sprinter—and Jenkins and Blatz have solid chemistry with each other. To the surprise of absolutely no one, Jenkins enlivens this well-worn material through his sheer presence, his intelligent choices and the emotional truth he brings to even the most obvious scenes.
He's got his work cut out for him, though, given the hammy lines he's saddled with as his character steadily spouts inspirational nuggets. "Running is not just physical. It's in your head," Coleman says when he first agrees to train Drew. And in a repeated theme involving running through your inner demons: "If you do face that fear, it'll change your life."
Drew already has faced a lot of hardship at a young age. His father died when he was a child; 10 years later, he and his brother (a muscled-and-tatted Cam Gigandet) and mother (a blowsy, barely-there Kim Basinger) are struggling to pay the mortgage on their working-class Seattle home. Older brother Wes, who's on parole, ropes Drew into dropping off cash payments to a seedy local drug dealer. Clearly, this arrangement won't end well.
But there's hope for Drew. He's fast. He gets kicked off the high school track team for being mouthy but maintains a flirty friendship with fellow runner Lisa (Analeigh Tipton, who has an off-kilter likability but is stuck serving as a cheerleader). Coleman sees something special in Drew and offers to teach him everything he knows—granted that he changes his event from the 440 to the mile, and that he strives to run that distance in a punishing four minutes. And as it just so happens, just as Drew is in need of a father figure, Coleman is in need of a son. His own boy—who was a talented runner himself—was killed in a car accident. It's all extremely formulaic and convenient.
Like Mr. Miyagi, Coleman is sad, lonely and alone and he drinks heavily to numb the pain. There's a mystical quality to his self-imposed isolation. Do you think it's possible that by working with this surly kid, it will improve both of their lives?
First, though, Drew has to agree to Coleman's unorthodox training methods, which include running 15-second sprints through ankle-deep water, dragging a giant tire from one side of a swimming pool to the other and doing quarter-mile laps around the docks instead of at the slick and shiny track. In one artfully lighted montage after another, Drew runs around his neighborhood, at sunset, through the city streets, across parking lots and in slow motion.
Despite its overly familiar trajectory, though, "4 Minute Mile" is nicely understated, and surprisingly not as mawkish as the material might suggest. Michaud depicts the blue-collar Washington settings vividly. And while Blatz is a bit of a handsome, blank slate aside from his character's sullenness, he's believable in his physicality—which is crucial given that he's running, or talking about running, or planning to run nearly the entire time.
If only his destination were more of a mystery.

Video: Coldplay: "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall"
By Larry Fitzmaurice on June 29, 2011 at 9:35 a.m. EDT
I had a dream a few weeks ago that I was watching the video for Coldplay's latest single "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall", and I swear to Gwyneth that the version that the band just dropped on their website is almost exactly what I watched in my dream. It's a fairly straightforward performance clip, with time-lapsed footage of the band rocking out in a decrepit area as the lyrics and other animated designs come alive in chalk-like form around them. Man, is it just me, or is Coldplay's new look pretty nü-ravey these days? Check it out here.

Hear the New Coldplay Single

Coldplay: "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall":
Coldplay have been working on their Brian Eno-produced Viva La Vida follow-up for a couple of years, and now they've finally opted to share a new single with us. New track "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" can be heard above, via the band's website. Click here to read the lyrics. Somebody actually had to type this out: "OH / IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL / A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL."
Today, the song will be up for sale on digital retailers in most of the world. In the UK, it'll be out June 5. UPDATE: NME points out that "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall" samples 1970s singer/songwriter Peter Allen's "I Go to Rio"; hear the original below.
New Coldplay Single Out This Week
By Larry Fitzmaurice on May 31, 2011 at 11:40 a.m. EDT
That ultra-colorful, spray-paint-festooned image you see above is the cover art for Coldplay's new single, "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall". The band just announced the track on their website this morning; it'll be streamed on their site and digitally released this Friday, June 3 (those in the UK will be able to buy it the next day). According to a statement from drummer Will Champion, the band plans to perform the song at their festival appearances this summer, including this weekend's Rock Im Park festival in Nuremberg, Germany.
If you head over to the band's site now, you can read the lyrics to the song, which include the following couplet: "Don't want to see another generation drop/ I'd rather be a comma than a full stop." Real talk: If there's one band that shouldn't be releasing lyrics before people hear the actual music, it's probably Coldplay.
Watch Seven Brian Eno Improv Sessions

Once a week for seven weeks, studio legend/ambient titan Brian Eno has been gradually unveiling a series of videos. Documenting new improvised collaborations between Eno, electronic composer Jon Hopkins, and guitarist Leo Abrahams, the videos were taped at Eno's London studio. (Hopkins and Abrahams both contributed to Eno's new album Small Craft on a Milk Sea.) Now, all seven videos are up; check them all out at Eno's website. Watch Eno intently hunched over a table of electronic doohickeys while gorgeous waves of sound roll out.

Update: No Mew Live Album

UPDATE: The Mew live album has been cancelled, according to Columbia.
Outrageous Danish prog rockers Mew impressed Trent Reznor enough for the Nine Inch Nails frontman to invite them out on tour earlier this year. And one of their opening sets will be immortalized on the upcoming live album Live from the Hollywood Palladium, which is due out digitally this Monday, December 7, via Columbia. The tracklist is below. Mew are currently on the road in North America.
In other Mew news, lead singer/guitarist Jonas Bjerre has teamed up with Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman and a-ha guitarist/keyboardist Magne Furuholmen for a new band called Apparatjik. The group has an amazingly annoying website and the video for their debut single "Electric Eye" is embedded below. The song sounds like 1985's version of the future.

Coldplay to Appear on "The Simpsons", Tour With Bat for Lashes
By Tom Breihan on October 2, 2009 at 3:20 p.m. EDT
This January will mark the 20th anniversary of "The Simpsons". If Bart aged like normal people age, he'd be 30 now. For some reason, this news makes me incredibly upset.
But at least the show has lined up a pretty big guest for its big 20th anniversary episode. As Coldplay's website reports, the band will appear on the show's big anniversary episode, airing January 14, 2010. It'll be fun to see what the animators do with Chris Martin's perpetual cowlick.
Coldplay also have some other big plans for 2010. They'll spend February and March touring stadiums in Latin America, with the great Bat for Lashes opening. Those dates are below.
Coldplay Give Seven Figures to Charity
By Tom Breihan on September 23, 2009 at 11:40 a.m. EDT
It's easy to make fun of Coldplay, but not when they do something like this. NME reports that the Brit-rock giants have donated one million pounds to Kids Company, a London-based charity whose stated aim is "to provide practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people." According to NME, the band's members have also visited Kids Company centers, and they plan to give music lessons to the kids there. They're putting their mouths where their money is.
Echo Chamber: Jay-Z
By Tom Breihan on September 22, 2009 at 5:55 p.m. EDT
"[Coldplay's] Chris [Martin] hasn't tried to get me to do yoga yet, but I am close to doing it. I am envious of what he can do on stage. Watching him is amazing. He can really move. I want to able to move like that, get my leg behind my ear, things like that."
-- Jay-Z, whose concerts could soon become very, very freaky. (via Bangshowbiz, via Spinner)

Feeling good, Having people grow their own food and get in touch with the cycles of nature inside them, on the planet and in the cosmos. I was born with an awareness of the joy that living in harmony with nature brings. The idea that food is our fuel, and medicine came early in life. I had a gift for natural healing, and spiritual practices. I got my RNursing in 1979, BA in Psychology 1981, Massage Therapy and in Colon Hydrotherapy 1983. I continue to study today. I love it that so many more people eating raw. We are living light! I could do a whole awards ceremony for the many people who inspire me in this field.

How to Make Veggies Tasty: Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I am obsessed with two things currently: cast iron cookware and roasted vegetables. Instead of seeing them as a "tolerable" food I "should" be eating, I have discovered the joys of roasted Brussels sprouts and carrots.
Ain't it grand when good food is healthy for you too? That is a rhetorical questions, folks.
I'm also trying to get my 10″ Lodge frying pan good and seasoned, which means oven cooked bacon everyday now that I've seasoned it a couple of times the conventional way. It occurred to me when looking at all that leftover bacon grease from a handful of slices I needed to be using it for cooking other things, and had already been planning on trying roasted Brussels sprouts.
There are a million recipes floating around online for roasted Brussels sprouts, and this particular batch was sprouts, crushed garlic, and pepper. As I cooked them in leftover bacon drippings with a little olive oil to stretch it and completely coat the sprouts, I felt it was salty enough. You may want to add a little salt yourself.
Or if you really want to be
lazy efficient, pick up a pack of pre-seasoned and pre-cut sprouts at Trader Joes.
For thriftier folks, wash your Brussels sprouts, trim off any damaged outer leaves, cut the base off and slice the bigger pieces in half. I mixed the ingredients in my iron skillet since some of the oil I wanted to coat my veggies with was already in the pan after cooking bacon (400 degrees for 20 minutes FYI).
Add three cloves of crushed garlic if you are a garlic lover like me, a little extra olive oil to make sure all Brussels sprouts are coated in oil, and season with pepper and/or salt to taste. Mix those little suckers around to make sure they are good and coated with oil.
Roast your Brussels sprouts at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, stirring them 2-3 times to make sure to maximize the carmelization to all sides.
These smell downright heavenly, and have become a new staple of my diet. Sure, there is a little bacon fat in there, but it's better than fixing up boiled veggies with no vitamins or flavor left, then drowning them in butter to compensate, right? Yes, that's another rhetorical question.

Hello stranger…
It's been a long time.
There's a huge gap between posts in here, and there are a lot of reasons for that. Primarily, this is set up as a travel blog, so I suppose my thinking has been if I can't travel, there's not much to blog about, right?
There's been no opportunity to travel because of the extreme poverty I've gone through transitioning from a nursing career to freelance writing and work at home. I'm approaching almost two years of being (almost) nursing free and to say the road has been rocky is quite an understatement. I've gone through a couple of moves and find myself in Lexington, Kentucky, which has been an incredible surprise, in a good way.
I did briefly do some private duty nursing which is what brought me here, but as soon as I moved into my apartment, my private duty case ended. So I found myself in yet another new city struggling to make ends meet, even in my cheap apartment. There's been no money for any kind of travel or hardly even eating out, which makes it kinda hard to work on a travel and foodie blog.
But in looking at the greater scheme of things, I'm coming to realize that travel is not simply moving from one place to another geographically. I've been on another kind of journey which is far more important than a weekend trip to the mountains or the ocean.
I've been on a quest to rediscover my true path of life and what it is that will make me happy. To get healthy again. To see if an old cynic like me can rediscover some sort of spiritual base, even if I'm no fan of organized religion.
In other words, midlife crisis is in full swing.
So even though my life is sorting itself out and I'm about to start making some trips again to write about travel proper, you can expect to see periodic blogs about the big picture. You know what I mean.
Plus those journeys are the kind that don't require a lot of fancy photography, because on top of the insane bad luck I've experienced for almost a year, my camera is currently semi-out of commission with a 50 mm lens stuck on it that won't come off. Not a lot of options in the photography department with a fixed 50 mm lens stuck on.
I'll start writing up some dream destinations and reviewing restaurants, so this blog can finally get going again while I pursue… whatever it is I figure out I want in life. They say that all who wander are not lost, but I have to confess I've been more lost than wandering for the last year.
You probably know what I'm talking about.
So here we go again trying to relaunch what is really my favorite blog that sort of encompasses all the things I love. This is by far the most personal blog I write. I realize nobody's reading this as nobody's reading the blog right now, but if there's anything I've learned after a year of writing professionally, sometimes you just have to sit down and write that shit out. In fact, that's the only way to do it, and write your way through it.Read More
Raisin Bread Pudding & Caramel Sauce
Raisin Bread Pudding with Vanilla Caramel Sauce
Mmmm, if you want a really decadent dessert/comfort food, what is better than bread pudding? Okay, there might be some things better, but it's definitely near the top of the list. This is delicious even before the sauce, and downright heavenly with it. If you live alone, be sure to invite someone over so you don't just sit and eat it all at once. It's that good.
You could use plain bread, but I say the more raisins the better. I love the vanillas from King Arthur, and I used a Mexican vanilla they sell for this recipe.
First, you combine the bread and raisins in a large bowl, then melt the butter in the milk before adding to the dry mixture.
Then you let it all soak up that milky, buttery goodness for 10 minutes. Add remaining pudding ingredients and pour into a greased 1.5 quart casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes until center is set.
It already looks pretty darned good, doesn't it? Wait till you smell it. When I made this, my landlords also owned the house next door and had a man doing contracting work. He always commented about the heavenly smells coming from the kitchen, poor guy!
But now, it's time for the icing on the cake, so to speak, or the sauce on the bread pudding.
Combine all sauce ingredients but the vanilla in a saucepan (1 quart) and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Add vanilla.
Then pour all that that warm, gooey love over bread pudding. To. Die. For.
- 8 slices of raisin bread (4 cups)
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 TBSP vanilla
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 TBSP vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cube bread and combine with raisins.
- Heat milk and butter in saucepan till butter is melted and pour the mixture over the bread.
- Let soak for 10 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients and pour into a greased 1.5 quart casserole dish.
- Bake 40-50 minutes until center is set.
- Combine all but the vanilla in a saucepan (1 quart) and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- Add vanilla.
- Serve warm over bread pudding

Bucket List Destinations: Prague
I've never been to Prague, Czechoslovakia, but it was love at first sight. It was back in the 80s, at the height of my obsession with INXS, and particularly, singer Michael Hutchence. If you're at all familiar with their music and their videos, you probably know I'm referring to the video for the song "Never Tear Us Part."
Michael sang this romantic love song around various locations of Prague, including Charles Bridge. It was a perfect fit for the song and the man, and implanted a deep desire in me to see the city before I die, a desire that has not lessened one bit in almost 25 years.
Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and if you love that old school architecture and high Gothic embellishments, boy is this the city to visit! It was spared much of the damage that other nations received during World War II, and as such, now has one of the most varied and extensive collections of architecture you will find anywhere in the world: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Gothic, Art Nouveau, Cubist, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern.
I've often looked into taking a course to teach English as a second language, and when considering the classes in an international setting, product is my first choice destination. I obsess over it. Apparently I'm not alone, as Prague is now ranks sixth among the most popular cities in Europe for visitors behind London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Berlin.
Lest you think this city is nothing more than a pretty picture, remember that before was the Czech Republic, it was Bohemia, and the birthplace of the term "Bohemian." Aside From the obvious tourist attractions, some more unconventional sites to check out include Bunkr Parukarka , a 1950s cold war bunker turned techno night club. Housed underground in what was a 1950s nuclear bunker, this quirky nightclub welcomes revelers through a graffiti-covered door that juts out from a hillside.
And if you really want a rough things up after hours, go to the suburb of Zizkov, with more than 300 bars in the neighborhoods to square miles. No need to dress up for these dive bars, where you can expect your beer in plastic cups. That should give you little feel for the neighborhood.
For a more open space outdoors, ride the railway to the top of Petrin Hill, Which has an eclectic assortment of attractions in itself: a miniature version of the Eiffel Tower, a mirror maze, and the Church of St. Michael–a 17th century wooden building relocated from a village in the Ukraine.
And of course, there's food. You knew that was coming, right?
In get your food, beer and accommodations all in one at the 550-year-old Hotel Midvikdu. As this is the home of the infamous X-Beer 33 with it's alcohol content of 11.8% (the strongest in the Czech Republic), the accommodations will come in handy. They ferment this dark lager for six months in an oak barrel. Fortunately, they also have a menu that guarantees you won't want to drink on an empty stomach: half of duck with potato, white bread, bacon dumplings, red and white cabbage; larded roast beef with rosehips sauce and croquettes; boar steak with baked apple cranberries and potato chips; and their signature Brewers pork steak with homemade beer sauce, bacon and fried onion, with a side order of french fries.
That almost sounds American.
Or if you want to go high-end La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise, but allow plenty of time for this six course tasting menu, which can take up to three hours to complete. It seems they no longer have the "gelatinous tomato meringue that melts to release honey and balsamic vinegar," but I'm sure they have found plenty of suitable replacements surprise and delight your palate.
I found some fantastic images on Flickr by Moyan Brenn under CC ATTRIBUTION AND NO DERIVATIONS licensing, so I included a gallery below–check out the wonderful photos on his site. And, of course, the video that inspired me so much to add Prague to my bucket list.

Hot house (of) tomato: The Tomato Place, Mississippi Restaurants
What's better than those Mississippi restaurants that serve up comfort food made from fresh produce and home-style cooking? One that also sells the produce, quirky gifts and a little liquid sunshine with a smile.
Now, I appreciate those fancy Mississippi restaurants as much as the next gal, and the kind of gourmet food where you aren't really sure what it is, but you know it's supposed to impress you. But I also enjoy a slice of down-home cooking served up with friendly service, and The Tomato Place in Vicksburg, Mississippi, has garnered quite a reputation for both in these parts.
I ventured in the first time on a lark, after I had done some shopping at the local Big Blue Generic Warehouse of Goods down the street to check out the place. First of all, watch for it closely as it's literally just an extra-wide shoulder of the highway and you can easily drive on by. Second, you may not have much parking space, as this cafe stays pretty busy all day.
But if you find it and park your booty there, you're greeted with brightly-colored buildings and very casual outdoor seating area. There might be some homemade pork rinds cooking outside, smoking up a bit. One building is cooks only, but the other is a produce stand and a wall of freezers full of delicious and nutritious smoothies to go.
Or stay, if you choose.
Inside you'll find sauces (try the Mississippi Fever made with real tomatoes and fresh hot peppers) and containers of rice or beans for sale, but also hats, gifts and local-themed odds and ends, like the wonderful book I discovered there, "Eat, Drink, Delta," full of lovely photos and stories from Delta restaurants and kitchens.
And of course, the cafe.
You know they gotta have fried green tomatoes, but also some other expected classics like fresh squeezed lemonade, po' boys, fried catfish and burgers, but prepare yourself for plenty of surprises, like the meatball plate: Three large meatballs on a bed of stone ground cheese grits, with tomatoes, and your choice of squash or green beans. Or maybe get a southern-style BLT, as in BL and FGT (Fried Green Tomatoes) in case your arteries aren't quite clogged enough.
But all that matters is dying with a smile on your face, right?
A decidedly non-southern popular meal is the Jamaican Burger plate, with fried yams and jerk sauce. And check out this list of available side items: fried okra, mac and cheese, cheese grits, fried yams and baked beans, just to name a few.
I had the Tomato Place Pie plate, and it sounds sort of lasagna-like or even a little pizza-like, but much milder on the spice, and shouldn't kick up the ol' reflux. As I had the misfortune of coming on a Sunday evening after the huge rush of the day, I had to go with okra instead of green beans. And the salad was a marinated cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, and… why, I believe they threw some watermelon in there.
I have to tell you, I'm not a big raw tomato or cucumber person, but that was a very good salad, and refreshing sitting outside in the heat. Personally, I think I'd kick up the spice just a bit on that tomato pie, but it was tasty, adn with all the food I had, I took a healthy portion home.
Perhaps I've watched one too many episodes of "Chopped," but I "transformed" those leftovers into a nice breakfast hash the next morning, and that was mighty tasty. Alex Guarnaschelli would have been so proud. Or Geoffrey Zakarian, who I have personally dubbed, "The Silver Fox."
I'm a lonely woman, okay. I use cable to window-shop hot guys.
Anyway, the fried green tomatoes here are very lightly breaded with mostly a cornmeal breading, and btw, if you want to make your own, this is one place you can find green tomatoes for sale. If they haven't used them all themselves. But this appetizer here is light with a zesty remoulade sauce making it a nice start to any meal.
They have nice little indoor dining area, but plenty of outdoor seating if you can take the heat. Check out lots of photos below, and make a little trip south of Vicksburg on Highway 61 for some casual, comfort cuisine.

About this Business
From Our Editors
The Original Crab Shack hauls in fresh fish, crab, lobster, shrimp, and clams every day from the ports of Boston Harbor, often getting the seafood in less than 12 hours after it comes off the boats. In the kitchen, cooks transform the catches into seafood through the power of steam or a fryer, filling pots with clams and lobster or baskets with tender fried shrimp and clam strips. Behind their full bar, which is decorated with fairy lights and nautical décor such as anchors, cheery bartenders pour beers or wine and mix specialty cocktails. Light blue walls, punctuated with Cape Cod–style windows, surround the interior of Crab Shack, which is filled with small tables as well as two 10-seater farm tables in the center of the room.
