Here's how a young New York State Assemblyman from Manhattan described his colleagues in Albany: One, he said, was "entirely unprincipled, and with the same idea of public life and the civil service that a vulture has of a dead sheep." Another's "intellectual capacity about equals that of an average balloon."
The details of Mike life, metamorphosed in his somewhat biographical film, Mikey Boy, which he co-wrote, co-produced and starred in, are reminiscent of another famous, albeit fictional, Queens native, Vincent Chase, the leading player of the HBO's Entourage, who brings his boys out to Hollywood with him when he hits the big time.

USGS uses 10 km as a default depth value (and sometimes 33 km) until they have time to work out the actual depth. Depth is difficult to pinpoint, unless the earthquake is directly under a seismometer. As the seismologists finish reviewing each quake, the depths should be revised with error estimates. Hope this helps.

Joined: Oct 2005
Location: Wandering south....
Oddometer: 614
OK, so after being home for a week I have finally had time to sort through photos and stories of the trip.
We laid out our gear, clothes, camping kit, etc., removed some things, and removed some things again. It was a bit of a challenge as we had planned to camp and motel along the way. We would have saved all the room and about 38lbs if we didn't camp but then we would give up the opportunity to meet people..........which was the whole point of the trip. And with 3 of us, one being 7 years old, there were a few things we couldn't leave without. Baseball gloves, check, kite, check, night time blanket, check....
And after it was all loaded.....keep in mind that my back seat is full of Jack's gear as I transport it to school to pick him up.
We picked up our 7 year old from his last day of school with fully loaded bikes with a destination of Benbow California. (Near Garberville) 248 miles
It's 92 degrees as we suit up, so time is of the essence. Jack doesn't mind long rides, but he does mind roasting in a motorcycle suit in a parking lot.....
And we're off.....
So about 45 minutes out of Davis my passenger tells me through the autocom that he is hot and thirsty and would like to take a break. It's all about keeping the big guy happy in the heat so we pulled of in Esparto at a run down market to grab something cold. As we were taking off our gear I soon realized that there was a bee that had flown in to Jack's sleeve and it was just sitting there......not for long. It stung him in the arm as we tried to get it out. We got the jacket off and after a few tears had a anti sting patch from the first aid kit to sooth the pain.......and a root beer from the market.
He's tough and soon we were back on the road.
There were a few thunder clouds looming about. We kept our eye on this one as it seemed to be conveniently moving towards our destination. We weren't worried about riding in the rain, but it was the first day and we were still getting used to the weight. I didn't want to have wet roads as a factor so early in the trip.
It never did rain on us, but we were right behind it. We kept running through puddles that were only a few minutes old.
As I mentioned, we were heading towards Garberville. Coincedently it was also the weekend of the Redwood run, a big Harley event. We stopped in Lucerne (near Clearlake) for an ice cream and lunch and parked with a sea of Harleys. Most folks were nice although there were many that didn't even acknowledge that we were on 2 wheels. Apparently it's not cool to wear jackets with sleeves, high viz gear, or full face helmets with some people. Oh well, we were just happy to have departed on our 16 day trip.
We made our next "rest stop" was Willits CA for fuel. Jack started getting tired and was dozing off a bit. He is attached to me with a child riding belt and surrounded with a RevPak U shaped duffle so he can't fall off. It was time for more sugar to perk him up and we only had about an hour to go.
This is also where I discovered by leaking rear Ohlins. With only 3000 miles on it and having it custom sprung for my weight as well as gear, passenger, and riding type, I wasn't happy to see it weeping oil badly. Not dripping on the ground yet, but give it time. Onward to Benbow.....
We arrived at the Benbow Inn around 6:45pm. I had made reservations at hotels for the 1st 2 nights as I knew they would be long days in the saddle. This is a place that my wife has visited since childhood so it was a bit of a history lesson for Jack and I. We met some other riders heading to the Redwood run and everyone was cool. The Ohlins was now officially dripping oil on the ground.....shit!
I called Ohlins the next morning and ordered a new shock. This time with an even stiffer spring as I didn't want to take any chances later in the trip. I had them ship it to Ride West BMW in Seattle where I already had an appointment to have new tires installed on Sandy's F650. We ran out of time before we left and we knew we would be staying in Seattle for a few days.

AUSTRALIA is due for a bounty it didn't expectexclusive access to minerals and other resources in four million square kilometres of surrounding seabed. The reason for the territorial windfall is that Australia's continental shelf is much larger than thought. Under international law, countries are entitled to claim sovereignty over a 200 kilometre wide band around the coast called the Exclusive Economic Zone. But under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, each nation is also allowed to make a once-only claim for its entire continental shelf. The claim, however, has to be backed by geological evidence showing the extent of the shelf. The Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) has done just that.
AGSO has been collecting data since 1994. The technique of swath mapping uses acoustic multi-beam sonar equipment on a chartered French vessel,

Maci Bookout Mourns the Loss of Her Dog Roxie
Anyone who's sobbed their way through My Dog Skip knows how life-changing owning a pet can be! Dogs are truly man's best friend, and it's always heart-wrenching when they have to be put down.
Unfortunately, Maci Bookout's childhood pal with paws had to be put to sleep on December 1, and girlfriend is more than a little upset. "We had to put our dog to sleep today," Maci tweeted. "She was a 13 yr old boxer, best dog everrr. Really tough day for my family #RIPRoxie."
Awww, poor Maci! Losing a dog is one of the worst feelings ever, but with your positive tweets we know girlfriend will get through it. And remember, all dogs go to heaven!

The central difficulty of covering this presidential campaign -- which is to say, of explaining Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's disparate plans for the country -- is the continued existence of what we might call the policy gap. The policy gap, put simply, is this: Obama has proposed policies. Mitt Romney hasn't.
It is important to say that this exists separately from any judgments about the quality of either man's policies. You can believe every idea Obama has proposed is a socialist horror inspired by Kenyan revenge fantasies. This would, I think, be a strange judgment to reach about plans to invest in infrastructure, temporarily double the size of the payroll tax cuts and raise the marginal tax rate on income over $250,000 by 4.5 percentage points. Nevertheless, Obama's policy proposals are sufficiently detailed that they can be fully assessed and conclusions -- even odd ones -- confidently drawn. Romney's policies are not.
Romney's offerings are more like simulacra of policy proposals. They look, from far away, like policy proposals. They exist on his Web site, under the heading of "Issues," with subheads like "Tax" and "Health care." But read closely, they are not policy proposals. They do not include the details necessary to judge Romney's policy ideas. In many cases, they don't contain any details at all.
Take taxes. Romney has promised a "permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates," alongside a grab bag of other goodies, like the end of "the death tax." Glenn Hubbard, his top economic adviser, has promised that the plan will "broaden the tax base to ensure that tax reform is revenue-neutral."
It is in the distance between "cut in marginal rates" and "revenue-neutral" that all the policy happens. That is where Romney must choose which deductions to cap or close. It's where we learn what his plan means for the mortgage-interest deduction, and the tax-free status of employer health plans and the Child Tax Credit. It is where we learn, in other words, what his plan means for people like you and me. And it is empty. Romney does not name even one deduction that he would cap or close. He even admitted, in an interview with CNBC, that his plan "can't be scored because those details have to be worked out."
Compare that to Obama's tax plan, which you can read on pages 37 through 40 of his 2013 budget proposal (though not, it should be said, on his campaign Web site, which is even less detailed than Romney's). In these pages, Obama tells you exactly how he would like to raise taxes on the rich. He proposes allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for income over $250,000, capping itemized deductions for wealthy Americans at 28 percent, taxing carried interest as ordinary income and more. The total tax increase, compared to current policy, is $1.5 trillion.
Whether you think it's a good idea or a bad idea to raise taxes on the rich, Obama has told you exactly what he wants to do. Conversely, whether you think it's a good idea or a bad idea to cut marginal tax rates by broadening the base, Romney hasn't actually told you what he wants to do.
The same is true in other policy areas. In health care, for instance, Obama signed the multi-thousand page Affordable Care Act into law, and has backed a number of specific reforms that would build upon the policy, including giving states waivers to go their own way while meeting the law's standards and giving the independent Medicare board more power over benefit packages. Obama's vision for the health-care system is almost absurdly detailed.
Romney's plan spans 369 words. He would "promote alternatives to 'fee for service.'" Which alternatives? It's a mystery. He would "end tax discrimination against the individual purchase of insurance." That can mean any of a couple of huge policy changes. It could mean, for the first time ever, that employer-provided health plans are taxed -- a massive tax increase. It could mean that all spending on health insurance is made tax free -- a giant, and expensive, tax cut. Which is it? Romney doesn't say.
On financial regulation, Romney would "repeal Dodd-Frank and replace with streamlined, modern regulatory framework." That is literally his entire plan. Three years after a homegrown financial crisis wrecked the global economy, the likely Republican nominee for president would repeal the new regulatory architecture and replace it with … something.
On deficit reduction, Romney's plan "requires spending cuts of approximately $500 billion per year in 2016." He has not released spending cuts that come anywhere close to that goal. He does have some nice words to say about the Ryan budget, but Romney advisers have told the media that their candidate disagrees with large parts of it, including the Medicare cuts.
The comparison to Obama is, again, instructive. Pages 23 through 37 of Obama's budget detail dozens of spending cuts and tell you how much money they'll save. You might not like those spending cuts, or you might want to see more. But at least you know the specifics of the president's plan.
You might say that this is the natural result of an incumbent running against a challenger. Obama, by virtue of being president, has to develop detailed policies, and he oversees a massive bureaucracy able to help him get specific. Romney, by virtue of his not yet having Obama's job, does not.
But in 2008, John McCain ran on a far more detailed policy platform than Romney. To name just one example, like Romney, McCain promised to end the tax code's discrimination against health insurance bought by individuals. But he told us how he would do it: by taxing employer-based insurance and using the savings to give families a $5,000 tax credit to put toward buying health insurance. Nor has Romney released anything that matches "Renewing America's Purpose," the 457-page policy book that George W. Bush released during the 2000 election. Romney's vagueness is unique among modern presidential campaigns.
It should not be considered partisan to demand details from the two men campaigning to be president. Both Republicans and Democrats should want to know the specifics of Romney's tax plan. Both liberals and conservatives should insist that Romney reveal his plans to regulate the financial system. But so far, Romney has refused to give voters the most basic information about what he would do as president. That means he has refused to give voters the most basic information necessary for them to make an informed choice this November. That's not acceptable. And neither voters nor the media should accept it.

Mediterranean Chickpeas Braised with Brussels Sprouts, Kale & Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Turns out our furnace problems were solved with a new thermostat. Thank goodness it was such an easy fix. It will be a bit warmer over the next few days which is perfect for us. It will melt the snow and allow us to rake all the leaves we had neglected earlier before winter resumes again later in the week.
Hearty winter fare is back into my kitchen for good and this was a delicious side, and could definitely work if you are looking for a something different for a holiday meal. Brussels sprouts are braised with chickpeas, kale and sun-dried tomatoes along with Italian-inspired seasonings. I thought this was excellent. Highly recommended.
What are you planning to serve for Thanksgiving?
I am sharing this with this month's Eat Your Greens and Cook Your Books.
Pasta Arrabiata with Chickpeas and Zucchini Noodles
Feel like you missed autumn? Summer went straight into winter? Time flies, and sometimes I feel like I missed the peak season for certain fruits and vegetables. I keep missing peach season although we had a few this year. I also missed prime tomato time, perhaps because I was distracted by summer exams. In any case, have no fear. Canned tomatoes are possibly the best way to make sure you have flavourful tomatoes.
Oddly enough, I first encountered Arrabiata sauce while travelling in South Africa. It was a premade sauce that I added to a can of lentils with delicious results. A bit spicy, a lot tomatoey, it worked well with the hearty lentils. However, by the time I returned to Canada, I figured a pasta sauce deserved some pasta.
I made a huge batch of Ricki's Arrabiata sauce and used it in two non-traditional ways: paired with soba noodles and also paired with zucchini noodles with chickpeas and nutritional yeast. I liked both versions although the zucchini noodles remind me more of the summer than soba noodles.
Next time, I think I will puree the sauce and add a bunch of lentils. Topped with nutritional yeast, it was a great meal, too.
I am sharing this with Pasta Please and Bookmarked Recipes. (more…)
Asian Kale Salad with Edamame
We reached critical mass last weekend.
I am not joking.
We ran out of room in the refrigerator.
Who knew greens could take up so much space?
I loaded up at our favourite market. $7 got us heaps of produce along with our $5 case of mangoes. The mangoes and bananas didn't go into the fridge, but it was hard enough to get my bag of 9 leeks ($1!) and 3 heads of Boston lettuce ($1!) in there.
But then, I went to the potluck. How could I not support buying some freshly picked organic kale grown by school children from a nearby elementary school? And that is how I also ended up with a good 3-4 bunches worth of kale and could barely close my fridge.
Thank goodness Rob hasn't strangled me just yet.
With prices so low, we don't feel as guilty if I don't eat through everything. But I try!!
Instead of tackling all the leeks and my new produce, I decided to dig through my vegetable bins to find the older vegetables. Finish off the snap peas, carrots and bell peppers, and the last of the scraggly cilantro and scallions. For protein, I quick-thawed some edamame.
This combination reminded me of my vegetable buddha salad bowl but since we're low on miso, I went with a dressing more reminiscent of my (other) raw Asian kale salad with edamame. With so many colourful vegetables and an Asian dressing, how could you go wrong?
Please share with me your favourite kale and leek recipes! Also, for fresh chickpeas since I scored those too! :)

Lentil Marinara Sauce with Spaghetti Squash
Did you have a good Valentine's Day? I don't think I have been told to celebrate Valentine's Day more than yesterday (and I forgot to call my parents, OOPS!). It almost felt like a national holiday, with everyone at work asking about the evening plans, rushing to finish early for the weekend. Is it because Texans are just so friendly? Or because Americans love holidays?
Rob and I have never been big fan of V-Day, enjoying each other's company more than anything else. Rare gifts and certainly no cards, this year was the most low-key ever. A nice dinner with friends. True to his word, Rob and Matt had a feast ready for me just as I stepped (pedalled) home: Holy Moley Veggie and Rice Soup and corn tortillas followed by Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls. Actually, the order was reversed, we ate the dessert as an appetizer while we waited for the veggies to cook. I had offered to make dessert but Rob saved the day.
Rob also registered us for Cycle Oregon. Tent porter, and all: we're committed. Lucky (or unlucky) for me, cycling is easier on me than walking.
After a few weeks of rest and recovery, I resumed my daily cycling commute this week. I also swapped my HIIT classes at the gym for weights. No impact and no balance required. Mostly upper body. My knees may be resting but I am certainly still keeping active. I don't think my arms have ever worked so hard. Although while it would be nice to have a goal to do an unassisted pull-up (NOT happening anytime soon), I think a more realistic goal will be to be able to refill the water cooler at work without too much difficulty. I am a bad employee right now. If it is empty, I do not refill it. I can do it. I mean, I did it once, but it wasn't pretty. More awkward than anything else but instead of potentially making a giant puddle, I am acknowledging and working within my limitations. ;)
Now about the food. For anyone looking for a fun twist on spaghetti, this is a delicious marinara sauce. A heartier, cooked version of my 15-minute garlic basil marinara sauce, I fortified the sauce with red lentils. The finishing raw garlic and basil made the sauce truly special. I swapped the raw zucchini noodles for winter's veggie noodle: spaghetti squash. While those expecting a noodle replica will be disappointed, those looking for a fun veggie side will be thrilled. A new texture and a fun way to slurp up all the delicious sauce.
So, please tell me: how was your Valentine's Day? Do you refill the water cooler?? :)

Southern Black Eyed Peas with Stewed Tomatoes
I have embraced the hidden Texan in me. Only the good parts, obviously.
Especially when it involves beans.
I mean peas. Peas, beans, all the same, right? (Not if you don't like peas!)
As I discovered earlier, black eyed peas taste so much better when cooked from fresh. After you cook them from recently picked pods, that is when you figure out why they are called black eyed PEAS.
Many of the Southern United States grow field peas, such as black eyed peas, including Texas. Local, fresh black eyed peas are easily found in local grocers right now. A longstanding Southern tradition for forthcoming good luck is to eat black eyed peas and collard greens (a dish named Hoppin John) on New Year's Day. This year, I decided to try a different variation on Southern stewed beans: black eyed peas are simmered in a Creole-spiced tomato sauce. I skipped the collards (the horror) in lieu of brown rice, but that was merely due to my lack of judgment at the grocery store this weekend.
I routinely get into a (deliciously yummy) rut with similar flavours – cumin, coriander, garlic and ginger – but I liked how simple this dish was, yet it was deliciously flavoured. I whipped together my own version of Creole seasoning right into the tomatoes. Creole seasoning should be easy to make, as it is a mix based on paprika, onion, garlic, thyme and oregano. In the heat of the kitchen, I mistakenly thought Old Bay seasoning would be a quasi-supplemental spice mixture. The celery-dominant Old Bay seasoning made up for my lack of celery from the holy trinity of Creole cuisine: a mirepoix from onions, bell peppers and celery. In the end, this turned out to be a wonderful success.

Warm Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Stop me if you've heard this one already:
What did the eggs benedict say to the rest of the breakfast table?
Happy hollandaise!
Hardy, har har.. Rob told the joke a few times over the holidays.
With the balmy Houston weather and having returned back to work, it does not really feel too much like holidays. In fact, I am at a loss what to do for New Year's Eve. Rob wants a party. I, however, will be working all day. And, to be honest, I doubt Rob or I will make it all the way until midnight. We are such party poopers. Early risers, we go to bed early as well. With a morning alarm for 5 am, I am usually the earliest to wake. However, two of my co-workers have their alarms for 4:30am. They beat me! Obviously, we need to invite them over after work. Celebrate St John's, Newfoundland's new year at 9:30 pm and then call it a night. Last year, Rob and I celebrated by watching the Sydney fireworks at 8am, but alas, I will be busy at work, already.
Even if I am not headed out for a party, at least I may provide you with some party fare. Splendid warm but still delicious cold as leftovers, here is a protein-packed spinach and artichoke dip. Definitely not as heavy as real cheese dips, this is more of a veggie-centric dip whipped together with some silken tofu. There is more of a hint of cheesiness, thanks to the nutritional yeast. I don't particularly enjoy nooch-heavy cheeses, but this was pretty good. It is a nice way to bring a dish that could double as a main, should your other options be limited, and you eat a bunch of it. You could totally chow down on a quarter of this, easily. And you should.
What are your plans for New Year's Eve?

Raw Chunky Tomato Marinara Sauce with Zucchini Noodles
Our vacation was pretty awesome. And pretty overdue. While road tripping from Toronto to Houston was fun, it definitely was not a vacation. Since tickets to Burning Man can be very hard to get, we planned this trip last winter. Rob has been a few times and only had positive things to say about it (other than the insidious playa dust). In my mind, I thought: Hey, Texas is pretty close to Nevada. We should go to Burning Man! True enough, Houston is closer to Nevada than Toronto is to Nevada, but Houston is still 2000 km from Reno. Not that close.
I plan to summarize Burning Man in next week's posts, as I recoup and regroup this week. Suffice it to say, I thought it was hot while camping in Nevada's desert. We boarded the plane from Reno and landed in Houston. A week away and I had already forgotten how HOT, HOT, HOT (and humid) it is in Houston. Since Rob turned off the air conditioner while we were gone, we were greeted with an empty fridge and a hot kitchen. Other than thawing some (delicious) freezer meals, I had little interest in cooking anything. Zucchini noodles to the rescue!
Zucchini noodles have been my go-to lunch this summer. Gabby warned me that Houston's heat would lead me to more raw foods and she was right. My meals have become simpler. Zucchini noodles are simple enough and of course, are just a vector for the sauce. The end of summer is a prime time for juicy tomatoes, at least in Ontario. I have yet to find tasty tomatoes here in Houston, so I have resorted to cherry tomatoes, which, in general, have more flavour. A portion of the fresh tomatoes are pulsed with a red bell pepper and sun-dried tomatoes along with a bunch of fresh herbs (basil and oregano) and garlic. A dash of chile flakes give a bit of kick and a date balances it out with a bit of sweetness. I topped it with some hemp seeds, too. I actually used a lot more than what I photographed since I knew it wouldn't be as photogenic. ;) I usually add the sauce and hemp seeds just before I eat the salad but I took photos of my partially packed lunch. Of course, this sauce will work equally well with your favourite spaghetti-type noodle.
What is your easy, no-cook go-to meal?
This is my submission to this month's Pasta Please for long noodles, hosted by Johanna, to this week's Healthy Vegan Fridays, and to this month's Cooking with Herbs. (more…)
Peach, Basil and Hemp Salad with a Citrus Vinaigrette
Give me leafy greens and I will make salad.
Give me fruit and I will eat it.
Give me a CSA share and I will become creative. Or lazy, your choice.
Same salad, different fruit and new herb. Still as delicious.
I added fresh basil as a unique flavour hidden amongst the greens.
And those hemp seeds? They are really growing on me. They are my new salad topping, including fruit salads. ;) I picked up a few of my pantry staples online, and decided to splurge on these hemp seeds since they were on sale.
I am used to a later peach season from Ontario (and they have finally arrived, too!), but local peaches were out in full force when we arrived in Texas. Sweet, juicy peaches. I have to remind myself that buying too many is often fool-hardy. Their peak ripeness has a short window. But once they are juicy: pounce. Peaches for breakfast, peaches as a snack and peaches for dinner. Peaches for a salad work so well because they make their own dressing, to boot. I still supplemented it with the nice citrus dressing from earlier in the week, though.
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and this month's Cooking with Herbs. (more…)
Tomato-Basil Zucchini Noodle Salad
You don't know how good you had it until you leave.
Except I already knew how great Toronto was… Sure, it had its quirks but it has been my favourite city to live in.
This weekend, Rob and I watched a movie that epitomized why I adore Toronto, and then some. Take This Waltz unashamedly showcases the beauty of Toronto. The colourful palate of Parkdale, the quirkiness of Kensington Market (although, to be fair, I have never seen a picnic bench outside Essence of Life) and the touristy rickety rickshaws. Despite living in Toronto for 5 years, both of us discovered more fun things about Toronto. There is an indoor scrambler at Centreville, complete with dance music and lights. Even I think that sounds awesome!
Despite Hannah's latest ode to Toronto, complete with Kensington jenga and mung bean ice cream, my heart tugs only gently.
In the meantime, while I am accumulating more ideas for things to see and do when I return, I am focusing on where I am now. Because, you know what – Houston is pretty awesome, too! My time here will be short, so I better capitalize on these evenings which are a balmy 25C. Perfect when relaxing/napping on a hilltop while next to an outdoor Shakespeare performance.
And that mung bean ice cream? I bet it can't compare to Ripe's (vegan, homemade) coconut-almond peanut butter ice cream with chocolate chips and date caramel. (SOOO good!)
Anyways, it is salad week. Here is a simple zucchini noodle salad with a bruschetta-like topping with tomatoes, basil and garlic. Late summer in a bowl. A salad in another form, without leafy greens, but with long zucchini noodles. The next time I made this, I added chopped almonds for a bit more crunch. Delicious!
This is my submission to this month's Bookmarked Recipes.
Creamy Mushroom Tomato Pasta
What is the most underrated herb?
Some herbs get all the love: basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano and mint were easy picks when I started my herb garden a few years ago. I also planted sage last year since it was easy to grow, while still mostly unfamiliar. I also really enjoy lemon verbena, although I only ever used it as a tisane (it would make delicious ice cream, though).
Sadly, most of my herbs died over the winter, despite living in the warm comfort of our kitchen. One plant was hardy enough to survive our kitchen winter and popped its head out again: chives. And despite growing them for 3 summers, I rarely used them in my cooking.
While I caved and bought some new plants last month (it was Red Russian kale! and basil!) at my local grocer, my basil has not yet grown enough for a harvest just yet. So, I improvised for this recipe. A chunky yet creamy tomato mushroom sauce. Yes, fresh basil would be delightful. I compromised. Instead, I used dried basil and added fresh chives. (I thought perhaps some pesto could substitute for the fresh basil but my Mom suggested going with the chives instead).
My Mom did not lead me astray: it was very good. This is a quick-and-easy chunky tomato sauce, with big chunks of tomato, chopped mushrooms and giant corona beans that I snuck in at the last moment. Just like when I made The World's Healthiest Bolognese Sauce, nutritional yeast added creaminess with a hint of cheesiness. The dried herbs worked well and the chives gave a different twist to the sauce. Next time, though, I may try the tomato-pesto sauce, too – it isn't a novel idea.
Although I wanted to serve this with soba noodles, the sauce was too chunky for such delicate pasta. Instead, I pulled out a chunky noodle. We have tried a few bean-based pastas, but this was a different brand and a different bean. Made with chickpeas but still fusilli, though. A fun shape and it worked well with the sauce.
This is my submission this month's Simple and In Season and to this month's Herbs on Saturday.
Quinoa Sprouts, Avocado, and Tomato Marinara Wraps (& Cookbook Giveaway)
As you know, I am a cookbook junkie. I have a lot of cookbooks and trying to wean myself from my cookbook library before our move. Last year, I picked out my top 10 cookbooks to move with me, but I may have to revise that list as I have discovered new favourites. Even more scary is that I have partially migrated to electronic cookbooks. It makes it easier to amass a larger collection. I still prefer leafing through a hard copy, but an electronic version is ideal when space is at a premium.
Considering my cookbook love, I was ecstatic when asked to review a new raw cookbook: Annelie's Raw Food Power. No stranger to raw cuisine, I surprisingly do not have that many raw cookbooks. This is a gorgeous cookbook, with colourful photographs accompanying every recipe. The dishes are typical raw cuisine style, with recipes for smoothies, salads, snacks and mains like raw pizza. She also includes a lot of recipes for teas/tisanes.
Annelie developed the recipes while in Costa Rica, and as such, the recipes use a lot of tropical fruits (bananas, mango, pineapple, watermelon) but also more common ingredients like zucchini, tomatoes, apples, nuts and seeds. Superfoods like chia seeds, goji berries, probiotics, maca and lucuma are often used, too. These ingredients are not new to me, but Annelie surprises me further with recipes calling for purple corn, mucuna, ashwagandha and shatavari powders, of which I have yet to encounter. Like most raw recipes, the majority of the dishes are quick and easy. The recipes call for typical raw equipment: blender (preferably high-speed), juicer, dehydrator, and spiralizer which not everyone possesses. In short, this is not a cookbook for someone dabbling in raw cuisine, but good for those familiar with the ingredients and equipment. (Of note, the index is very subpar, listing recipes by title only, not ingredient).
While most of the recipes seemed familiar to me (guacamole, spiralized zucchini with nutrient-dense pasta sauce, avocado and strawberry salad, raw lasagna), I opted to try something with a bit of a twist: Quinoa, avocado and tomato marinara wraps, especially since I was reminded how much I enjoy lettuce wraps.
I've tried raw quinoa before (basically quinoa soaked for a day) but prefer to use cooked quinoa. Uncooked raw/sprouted grains and legumes kind of go thump in my tummy. The quinoa is dressed with a rich flavourful tomato sauce which I unrawified by substituting red pepper paste for the optional red pepper. This is then placed in a Romaine leaf and topped with avocado for a delicious wrap. I found it was best to add the dressing just prior to serving since leftovers became dry.
While I still have a few recipes earmarked to try (beet and mint chocolate chip dip, oh my!), I am giving away a brand new copy of Annelie's Raw Food Power to a lucky reader. For a chance to win, just leave me a comment by April 25, telling me about your favourite raw dish you've made.
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and to this week's Raw Food Thursdays.
Braised Portobello Steaks and Spinach with a Balsamic Sauce
I wasn't expecting this week to be all about tried-and-true favourites, but I don't think you mind?
Last night, we celebrated my brother's 30th birthday. Just as when I tipped into my thirties, my Mom was adamant about hosting a party for close family. Like last time, she transported everything from Ottawa and did last-minute prepping and baking in my brother's kitchen. Moving before we hit 30 seems to be a theme in our family, as she navigated a new kitchen.
I offered to bring something. I was flat-out refused. I even asked if she had reconsidered a few days earlier. No. Although she leaked the menu to me: lentil salad and portobello mushrooms for me. (YES!) While I initially agreed that simple fruit would an ample dessert, she asked if I would like the Almost Guiltless Chocolate Mousse Pie instead. Obviously, I thought it was a fantastic idea. All of my favourite recipes!
Of course my Mom went all out. Roasted red pepper hummus and raw veggies as early nibblers along with spanakopita from my brother's in-laws. Three salads: a leafy green with a balsamic dressing, my favourite 11-Spice Lentil Salad with apples and arugula (aka the Best Lentil Salad Ever) and a bacon-broccoli salad. Roasted balsamic portobello mushrooms were baked, instead of grilled, along with the salmon. A magnificent zuccotto dome cake and my Almost Guiltless cake for dessert. I loved how my healthy eats were interspersed among the options and enjoyed by everyone, including my brother's in-laws who were still inquiring as to what vegan means. It was fun to see them guess what exactly was in the dessert that had no flour, no grains, no eggs, no cream, no dairy, and no sugar and still taste delicious. We forgot to tell them the filling was no-bake, too (my Mom experimented with baking the almond-date crust this time).
While I am hesitant to call vegetables "steaks", the baked mushrooms were compared to steaks last night. Since I used to enjoy my steak on the blue side (when I ate meat), I can see some parallels (moreso than if you like your steak well done), but these mushrooms are a pale comparison for anyone expecting steak. However, they are still one of my favourite meals.
Rob and I have been without a barbecue for a while now, but I have been experimenting with a different way to enjoy roasted balsamic mushrooms. Now I know baking works, too, but in the days of the hot summer, I know I can also make them on the stovetop as well. Not as good as the barbecue, but I am not complaining. :)
Balsamic mushrooms are marinaded in an herbed sherry-balsamic broth and then braised in the same sauce. The sauce is then reduced, used to wilt spinach and lastly drizzled overtop quinoa. I normally don't make separate sides, but this was simple despite its multiple components.
Do you eat more one-pot dishes or tend to make lots of simple sides instead?
This is my submission to this week's Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted by Cristina.
The Great Vegetable Bolognese Sauce with Zucchini Spaghetti
Vegan propaganda: I try not to spread too much of it.
If you read my blog, I think you've already accepted that vegetables are good for you and are ok with the lack of meat and dairy in my meals.
But I will share this fun video anyways, because I thought it was flipping awesome. I've watched a few documentaries about veganism and I am usually left with a bitter taste in my mouth, wondering about the accuracy of the science and experiences presented. The prolonged juice fast in Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead creeped me out. The main study in Forks over Knives, The China Study, was not convincing for me. Vegucated was cute, following 3 people on a vegan challenge for 6 weeks, though.
But this video? I loved it! Made by Dr Michael Gregor, the physician behind NutritionFacts.Org, he presents how a vegan diet affects the top 15 causes of mortality in a very engaging way. I know the clip is almost an hour long, but it is an hour well spent. If you watch it, please let me know what you think. For me, it reinforced continuing with a plant-based diet for health reasons. :)
In the spirit of nutritarianism (coined by Dr Fuhrman, describing those who consume foods based on their higher micronutrients and shun refined oils, sugars and salt), I decided to make The World's Healthiest Tomato Sauce, as proclaimed by Amber.
This was a chunky tomato sauce like no other. Filled to the brim with vegetables. All sorts of veggies, it was a lovely clean-out-my-fridge kind of sauce. I am probably the only person with a random vegetables, like a solo leek, beets, carrots, broccoli stems and mushrooms, hanging around for no good reason. Granted, this is a very flexible sauce so work with what you have. Amber suggests not omitting the olives, though. They add both the salty and fatty components from a whole food (instead of a refined oil product). The tempeh is eerily similar to chunks of meat. The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy hint, as if you had already stirred in Parmesan cheese. But the funniest part of the sauce is that it was more a fluorescent-red, courtesy of the pureed beet.
You might think this sauce would take forever to prep, with so many veggies. However, the food processor does that majority of the work. The directions look lengthy, but you'll see a theme: chop veggies in food processor, add to the pot and stir. :)
I actually really liked this sauce. It tastes healthy yet hearty while still feeling light. Would I serve it to omnis I wanted to impress? Probably not. They would probably think I was pulling a joke on them. But if someone made this for me, I'd be thrilled. I'd also have a lot of sauce to last for many meals. Freeze some for later, or relish in eating it a few times a day. :)
I believe that moderate amounts of oil, sweeteners and salt are good for you. Fats are definitely important, especially to absorb nutrients from other foods, but they can also come from avocados, nuts and seeds (and soy). I plan to incorporate more of these "healthy fats" into my foods.
What do you think about nutritarianism? Oils vs healthy fats?
Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Chickpeas (& the best cat videos)
In the morning, I like to read through my blog roll. Rob and I read different blogs, so we often share fun links with each other.
I might share interesting recipes with Rob (beer-soaked fries, anyone?), whereas Rob might share interesting news. Real new like we're losing the penny. Where was I last year when they decided that? Or not so important (but still real) news like the Toronto IKEA monkey that made front page news around Christmas (that I otherwise missed). Or the software developer who outsourced his own job to China. I think my favourite part of the detective work was documenting that he spent hours watching cat videos.
It is true: we love cat videos, too. Like this one, this one and this one. Oh, and this oldie but goodie. I liked those better than the World's Best Cat Video, although it was still pretty cute. The top 30 cats of 2012 had some of our favourites, too, including grumpy cat! (With a special nod to #5, cat alarm cat).
OK, OK, I know I should be studying. :P
I have been keeping things simple in the kitchen like this easy spaghetti squash stir fry with Brussels sprouts and chickpeas. Once you've roasted the squash, it comes together pretty simply. An Italian spiced dish with basil lightened with lemon juice, that is really more than the sum of its parts. It has been a while since I've cooked with spaghetti squash. My first venture was less than stellar and it took me a while to regain my confidence. Once you get past the notion it is pasta (it isn't), you can enjoy it as a noodly-shaped squash. Actually, if you haven't yet watched it separate into the thin spaghetti strands, you are in for a treat. A neat trick from nature. This dish was also nice as leftovers.. booyah!
So, do you enjoy cat videos, too? Any favourites?
This is my submission to this month's Pantry Party for noodles, to this month's Credit Crunch Munch and this month's Simple and In Season.
Braised White Beans and Leeks
Who invited winter?
I thought Toronto had been spared a white Christmas, as we were pummeled with rain instead of snow late last week. However, I woke up yesterday to howling winds, frigid temperatures and snow. Ottawa may have received 30 cm of the fluffy stuff over the past few days, but in true Toronto fashion, we had a sprinkle of snow.
This is indeed, the perfect solution. Rob and I are pining to go snowshoeing while in Ottawa for the holidays but that requires snow. Ottawa will have it and we can return to the lack of snowblower land without too much worrying. It just means we can't snowshoe to work. I am ok with that. Rob may be sad. Over the last few weeks, Rob has occasionally walked to work. That takes him 2.5 hours. It would likely take him longer with snow shoes. ;)
Last weekend was Woodstock in Christmas, and this is what I brought. Another benefit of cooking en masse on the weekend (other than not having to cook mid-week), is that I could pick my favourite dish to share.
Beans from scratch has become second nature. I typically simmer them on the stovetop while doing something else in the kitchen. This time, I brought back low-and-slow oven braised beans. Nothing could be so easy to get perfectly plump beans. Using Rancho Gordo's plump, tiny Yellow Indian Beans beans definitely helped but the long simmer in the oven slowly cooks the beans to perfection. No exploding beans, nothing too mushy, just perfectly cooked beans. Three hours later, you have a house fragrant from the leeks and herbs and a pot of plump beans. Sara's original recipe suggested broiling cheese overtop at the end of the braise but I went without for a vegan option. I had considered sprinkling almond parmesan overtop but ran out of time. The beans are definitely more than a sum of its parts. The leeks cook down to a silky creaminess and the Italian herbs confer a fragrant background.
Due to the sheer simplicity of this dish, it was easy to whip together other meals for the week. While my curries also turned out great, I didn't think they would mesh as well with a traditional Christmas menu. I'll share those, too, likely in the new year. ;)
Although, turns out dal will be making an appearance at the Ottawa Christmas. My Mom has left me in charge of Christmas lunch and I'll be making Root Veggie Dal. A perfect bowl to curl up with after returning from a snowy snowshoe adventure. :)
Happy holidays, everyone!

Dear GSC (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Devs)
By DeadMonkeys 3 Comments
You know I love you. I love your games. I love the atmosphere, the hard-as-balls damage system, the scavenging, and the snorks. I love anomalies, upgrade systems, and artifacts. I've completed each of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games vanilla at least once... but this shit has to stop.
I just spent thirty minutes trying to get past one of your many game-stopping bugs in CoP to no avail. I had been able to bypass an earlier bug with a teleportation cheat, skipping the Pripyat underground route (one of my favourite sequences) in the process. With each consecutive crash my disappointment grew, and as I passed the 10x mark, I died a little inside. In the past, when others complained about your crippling bugs, I stood by you.
I loved you despite your flaws.
But after thirty minutes, I said "Fuck it" and deleted Call of Pripyat from my Steam folder.
GSC, until you get your act together I won't buy any of your games. I know you try your best to squash the bugs, but it simply isn't enough. As incredible as your games are, I can't do this anymore.

Club Nouveau released their first album in 1986 called Love, Life, and Pain. The album bore four hits successively between 1986 and 1987. The first hit single, "Jealousy" rose to number 8 on the US R&B charts. The next two singles were; a remake of the Bill Withers song, "Lean On Me" and the single, "Why You Treat Me S Bad."

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE — Jason Dozier and his pals left southwest Atlanta to go shopping that night, he said. They simply got lost along the way and ended up getting pulled over.
"I hadn't ever been to the Mall of Georgia," Dozier said in a videotaped interview with Norcross police, some six hours after 15-year-old Nick Jackson II was shot and killed. "I wanted to buy a pair of shoes."
So went Dozier's flimsy first alibi, played Thursday during Day 2 of his trial on charges related to Jackson's Feb. 2, 2012 murder. The interview with Det. Justin Siegel was brief, partially because Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Tom Davis had had "matters not proper for (the jury's) consumption" extracted.
Dozier said he wasn't sure why several of his fellow passengers in the silver rental van fled on foot when stopped by police just a few blocks from Autry Street, where a home invasion resulted in Jackson's death a few minutes prior. His response made little sense.
"I was behind the driver, so I don't know," the now-38-year-old said on video.
The initial interview — though it did contain one statement that could be construed as a sort of confession — directly contradicted what prosecutors and other authorities believe happened that day, as well as Wednesday's testimony of co-defendant Timothy Johnson.
According to that information, Dozier was part of the six-man robbing crew that hit the residence on Autry Street at about 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 2, 2012, targeting loads of cash they expected to be stashed by Nick Jackson I, a well-known drug trafficker. Johnson told a jury Wednesday that Dozier admitted firing shots into the basement door that young Nick Jackson II was barricading against his assailants.
Though authorities believe another man, Anthony Lumpkin, fired the fatal shot that pierced Jackson II's heart, the prosecution has presented evidence that Dozier, in a jailhouse phone conversation with his father, admitted to "doing some shooting." His thumbprint was also found on the magazine of a recovered Kel-Tec .380 handgun.
At the end of the video showed to the 14-person jury Thursday, Siegel, the Norcross police detective, confronted Dozier with everything authorities "knew" at that point — some actual facts, some fabrications. He asked Dozier what he should be thinking with everything pointing to him and his cohorts.
"You're thinking the right thing," Dozier said.
An ongoing scene
In his opening statement Wednesday morning, Gwinnett County Assistant District Attorney Mike Morrison admitted that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's initial crime scene processing was not up to snuff.
"They were not thorough, they did not stay long enough," Morrison said, in part.
The extent of those omissions have become clearer since.
Special Agent Jessica Wilson, a crime scene specialist, testified Thursday that she had logged evidence consisting of six shell casings and six "projectiles," or bullets. Similar pieces, though, would continue to be found in the home for more than a year.
On March 3, 2012, Nick Jackson I found a .380 shell casing on a basement window sill. He called Norcross police and a sergeant came to pick it up.
On Sept. 10, 2012, Chief Warren Summers was patrolling the city when Nick Jackson I stopped him outside of his house with another shell casing.
According to testimony, yet another shell was found on Feb. 5, 2013, more than a year after Nick Jackson II was killed. The GBI had also returned to Autry Street in August 2012 after investigators from the district attorney's office found evidence they had missed, attorneys said.
Despite how it looks, Summers said Thursday, the process didn't seem to be atypical.
"That's not altogether unusual when you have a crime scene like that," he said.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 3/14/13
PHOENIX (AP) -- Randy Wells hopes that maybe, just maybe, this will be the year that everything falls into place. Injury and inconsistency have plagued the 30-year-old right-hander during his career, which up until 2013 primarily had been with the Chicago Cubs. Now with the Texas Rangers, he is making a bid for the No. 5 spot in their rotation. On Thursday, he had the team's longest outing of the spring, giving up a run on three hits in five innings of a 6-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Wells struck out four, walked four, hit a batter and gave up a solo home run to Josh Reddick in the fifth inning. Wells also escaped a pair of jams, leaving the bases loaded in the second and fourth inning -- retiring Scott Sizemore for the final out on both occasions. Wells' best season came in 2009, when he was 12-10 for the Cubs. He is 28-32 in 86 career starts. In 2012, he was 1-2 in 11 appearances (four starts) in 2012, and had nine starts for Triple-A Iowa. In July, his season cam...

SoulCalibur Finally Gets Local Multiplayer Over Bluetooth, Except On iPod Touch
We were hugely exited for SoulCalibur when the classic fighter made its debut on iOS back January. And while we were very impressed by Namco Bandai's efforts, like many reviewers, we were disappointed by the lack of any multiplayer modes. After all, that's what fighting games are all about, right?
Thankfully, Namco has now rectified that with an update that brings local multiplayer over Bluetooth… except for the iPod touch.

I desire a deep emotional relationship where we share our deepest fears and celebrate our accomplishments. I am looking for someone who I can connect with and commit to. I prefer a woman I can treat like a princess, help through tough times and encourage to excel. I would like a long term relationship with someone I can do everything with. I want to support each other through everything and make each other the best version of ourselves that we can be. I am looking for a relationship with someone who is intelligent, honest and attractive that I can communicate with. I prefer someone who is health conscious, religious and does not mind children. I'm not in a hurry to find someone, but it would be nice to share my life with the right person. I enjoy a wide variety of events from museums & travel to backpacking many miles in the Rockies & Alaska. I love to workout, bike, hike, play volleyball, spend time outdoors, and do just about anything with my 2 little girls - they are incredible! I was a civil engineer but I quit several years ago to do my real estate part time and spend the rest of the time enjoying life. I own rental properties and I currently buy, rehab & resell several homes a year. I LOVE my job and I feel very lucky I can make a living doing something I enjoy. 2 years ago I hired a bush pilot in Alaska to fly me 40 miles into the wilderness to hunt caribou and moose for 14 days completely alone. I was only permitted to take 70 pounds of gear total and had to survive cold, high wind, snow, rain and the local wildlife. I watched the northern lights one very cold night, alone, next to watching my girls being born nothing I have ever experienced in my life can compare. I am more than happy to laugh at myself and joke with my date while making her feel attractive, interesting and important. I am usually the guy at the table cracking jokes that range from witty to sarcastic and dirty. I have a type "A" personality, but as I grow older I have learned to relax more and I have no problem playing volleyball, traveling or watching a good movie. I am as comfortable in old paint stained jeans as I am in a suite. I can enjoy a nice restaurant or filter water from a remote creek in Alaska to use in my freeze dried dinner.
