Chilled Tofu with Scallions and Soy Sauce
I feel sorry for Tofu.
Because first of all, it was named "tofu."
Can you think of a less sexy-sounding word than tofu?
I sure can't.
And second of all, I feel sorry for tofu because it's often written off as a tasteless health food for barefoot-in-the-grass hippie people.
But tofu is great.
…it is!!!
I eat this dish all the time in the summer and I swear it's more refreshing than a popsicle on a hot day.
It's simple, tasty, cold, and yes, it's healthy!
Chilled Tofu with Scallions and Soy Sauce
Yield: 2 servings
14oz block of soft or medium tofu (don't use firm tofu here)
2 scallions, sliced
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 tbsp sriracha
Whisk to combine the scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Take a little taste and make any adjustments you want to suit your own tastes.
Slice the tofu into squares and bathe the tofu in the asian dressing. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour so the tofu can absorb the flavors and also get super cold. Eat and enjoy! See? It's good stuff!
Leave a comment:
making this asap! I love finding a recipe and having all the ingredients already on hand!
YAY! I often eat a whole block of tofu by myself LOL. It's simple but I just love it.
Haha. Okay, my first thought when this landed in my inbox: Ughhh tofu. Because I also think it's tasteless hippie food — except for the buffalo tofu fingers that a local pizza places makes. Those are pretty tasty. But, soy sauce is one of my favorite things, and I can just imagine the salty, spicy flavor of this chilled dish. Sounds absolutely perfect for a hot summer night.
Definitely trying this out very soon; I love tofu, but it does present it's challenges if you're trying to interest the carnivores. This might just do it for my husband, though not my cat.
I have had tasteless tofu and I have had tofu prepared beautifully and full of flavor. It's all about the sauce and preparation. Yours looks like it would be perfect.
Your photos and preparation have almost convinced me.
By almost convince does that mean all sauce no tofu? 😛
I am making this ASAP too but don't have a clue as to what the last ingredient is, sriracha, Help!
Hi Dottie, Sriracha is this stuff here. I'm sure you've seen it before and you should be able to get it at any grocery. If you want to do chile oil that would work too…I just think it's needs a little heat and spice to make it more interesting.
Had to pin this one 'cuz it looks so good … Happy Weekend
I love tofu, cold, hot, fried, in soup. Such a great ingredient
Hello Joanne, I discovered your lovely blog through your guest post at Raymund's blog
You have a wonderful space here and I look forward to following your upcoming posts.
I have to agree with you on tofu, I am ashamed to say I have never tried it before, everytime I reach for it in the supermarket I decide not to. I think I need to change that
Thanks so much! Haha tofu is scary at first, but I love the stuff when it's done right! I think some people just need to get used to the texture, it can be strange when you first try it.
Tofu isn't its only name, you know. In most Chinese dialects, the T is often pronounced as a D sound. 'Dofu.' Maybe not very sexy, either, but who cares?
Tofu is a wonderfully creamy delight that melts on your tongue, and will do wonders for your health. Moreso than the ignorant naysayers who refuse to try anything new.
Mm, mm, good. You make me crave tofu and that's a tall order.
I love tofu … when I don't make it. I have struggled with doing tofu right in my own kitchen for years! I love this super-easy take on making the stuff myself, and it sounds just absolutely delicious. Thanks!
I love Tufu, scallions and sesame seeds! I can just imagine the infused flavoring after chilling it all in the frig- BTW where can you get sriracha? Thanks for the recipe!
Yes, it's delicious! Hm, I've seen sriracha at basically all the grocery stores in town, and I live in a small town. Have you checked the asian section? It's got a rooster on it, here is the item on Amazon but you hopefully can find it in town.
Oh, also if you want to do chile oil you could do that instead of sriracha, though sriracha provides garlic and other flavors that chile oil doesn't have. But the chile oil would give that nice heat.
I agree that tofu deserves more respect, and this recipe sounds wonderful to me!
Now this I can do today…oh it looks so good. I am crazy for tofu, it just absorbs everything.
Just made this for dinner…it was so delicious, I just happened to buy siracha sauce yesterday…heard Dr Oz rave about it….good stuff. I will be making this a lot.
Barry, I'm SO happy to hear this! Thanks for coming by to tell me. I love this tofu too…I've got some tofu in my fridge right now to make this, I just need to get some scallions. Happy cooking!
This kind of recipe makes me feel better just looking at it. What is it about scallions and rice vinegar that just makes me feel like my body is a temple (instead of a sugar and cheese holiday receptacle!). This would be a great contribution to this month's Shine Supper Club–we're getting back to sane eating (thank heavens!).
haha! It's the opposite of when you stare at a piece of chocolate cake and feel like you gained five pounds, isn't it? LOL. I'll be sure to check out the supper club this month =)
Hi, Joanne! I've got to tell you, I'm a huge fan of tofu. I usually put it in cold soba salads, udon dishes and tucked away in other noodle pots, but I recently had it prepared in its simplest form. At Uncle, a momofuku-esque restaurant in Denver, they serve it chilled– and it was so delicious that I went online in search of a recipe. That's when I found yours! I love the use of sriracha too. Please let me know if it's okay to post a version of your creation on my blog, which would be properly credited and linked, of course! Thanks! -Batya
I have some left over firm tofu in my fridge to use and would love to try this. You said not to use firm. What is the difference if I do? It looks very good!
I make this recipe all the time and usually serve it with some steamed broccoli and rice. I've also switched to low sodium soy sauce and I actually like it more. And it doesn't lack the soy sauce flavor at all. My roommate is Malaysian and she learned this from her mom. They would always wing it so I was so surprised to find your recipe online. It tastes almost exactly like when my roommate makes it! Thank you!
Thank you for this recipe, it is exactly what I was looking for.
Made this last night and it was wonderful! Thank you for an awesome recipe!
This recipe was AMAZING!! Thank-you- my only challenge will be not to eat it everyday. It satisfies all of the Asian-style flavors that I crave and enjoy so much.

Help with installing EVGA GeForce GTX 460
So, I thought this would be a piece of cake. We open up the computer and find the pci-e slots. One is open and one has something plugged into it. Then just above that, there is something that appears to be directly on the motherboard. There is no room to install this huge EVGA GeForce GTX 460 graphics card we just bought.
I read that this Gateway computer has an integrated graphics card....which means there is nothing to take out, correct? So what is it that is plugged in already to the pci slot? And what is the thing above that?
None of my computer paperwork shows anything about the inside of the computer and I've searched online and can't find what I need. Is anyone familiar with this type of Gateway machine or do you know where I can get resources online for more info?
Where exactly are you supposed to put an EVGA 460 graphics card?

Infamous Cheeseburger Video the Main Meal in David Hasselhoff Comedy Roast
By Bryan Alexander Posted Aug 3rd 2010 08:00AM
When David Hasselhoff's now infamous cheeseburger video hit the Internet in 2007, the shocking image of the shirtless, slurring 'Baywatch' star on the floor struggling to eat fast food was no laughing matter.
Major media fallout followed, and the video became something of a cultural phenomenon, attracting more than a billion views on the Internet.
Three year's later, the Hoff's greatest viral embarrassment, as well as his longtime struggle with alcohol, provides the fuel for the 'Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff.'
Scheduled to air on August 15, the roast was filmed Sunday night and is shockingly the first time Hasselhoff has ever addressed the infamous video or his reported alcohol relapses.
"I've been waiting for a forum to talk about where I'm at," Hasselhoff said backstage at the event. "I didn't do it in the beginning because I was in a very personal matter and it involved the custody of my children."
Hasselhoff has always maintained that the burger video was illegally released and has never spoken about it publicly -- despite offers from major magazines and Larry King.
"I wanted to address [it] the way I wanted to address it," he added. "And tonight was the way I wanted to address it."
More than address it, Hasselhoff was tormented about it repeatedly during the two-hour roast by some of the sharpest tongues in the business.
Those who felt the comics would keep the gloves on for the roast were immediately proven wrong during Hasselhoff's introduction, where, sprinkled among the clips from his 'Baywatch' and 'Knight Rider' days, moments from the horrifying burger video kept popping up. Taboo no more.
Seth MacFarlane, the roast master for the event, launched right in and zeroed in on the video.
"How do you make jokes about a joke? How do you embarrass a man who so thoroughly embarrasses himself?" he asked as the crowd roared with laughter. "How do you put someone down when they are already lying shirtless on the floor?"
And that was only the beginning. While fellow roasters like Hulk Hogan, Jerry Springer and Pamela Anderson looked on, Hasselhoff sat in the middle on a red, oversized lifeguard's chair. His arms were folded in front of him for much of the night, but he gamely laughed at most of the jokes that were hurled at him.
It might have been his greatest acting role ever. Though during the first commercial break, he showed a little chink in the armor. "It's going to be a long night," he said in the direction of his two daughters, who were in the audience.
Insult specialist and former 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant Jeffrey Ross inquired what drink Hasselhoff had in a dark red glass on his lifeguard's chair. When the Hoff insisted it was water, Ross expressed disbelief and then continued his attack.
"I must admit, I did love you in that cheeseburger commercial you once made," Ross mocked, insisting the motto from the burger chain must have been "Have it Floor Way!"
"I'm so relieved you're wearing a shirt tonight because it will be so much easier than picking the vomit out of your chest hair later," Ross continued.
Even animal rights activist and 'Baywatch' co-star Pamela Anderson piled on.
"David, I have to say, when I saw the video of you lying on the floor -- drunk, broken down, cheeseburger meat falling from your mouth -- I felt so sad," said Anderson. "For that cow."
Hasselhoff exited the show triumphantly -- we don't want to spoil the ending, but it's awesome. And he even gamely met the press backstage.
"Yeah, it goes too far," Hasselhoff said when asked about some of the barbs. "That's what they want to do. They want to get to everybody."
He kept a fixed smile on his face throughout and insisted the event was "therapeutic." Hasselhoff had, in his mind, dealt with the video issue once and for all -- and he was still standing.
"No one got me," said the Hoff. "I'm still laughing. My face hurts. I'm sorry it's over."

Magnus said she is grateful to the pioneering women who made it possible for her to become an astronaut. "I remember going into high school in 1978 and I already latched onto the idea of being an astronaut, and I read in the paper about the first group of women who were selected into the astronaut program and I thought, wow, I don't have to break any doors down, these women have already done this for me."
Rex Walheim is the last member of the foursome. If this crew had more people on it he would be going out on the only spacewalk of the mission -- but, alas, they are so short-staffed he will have to stay inside to supervise space station astronauts when they get to go out in his place. Walheim is married with two teenagers, and he calls San Carlos, California his hometown.
Walheim was a flight controller before he was selected as an astronaut in 1996. This will be his third space shuttle flight. He jokes about how "iffy" this flight was for so long.
"People would still come to you and say, 'Hey, you guys got money yet?'" he said. "And we'd try to say, 'Yeah, we are really going to fly.'
"We were happy when we got out to the launch pad."
So the final four are happy to be close to launch -- even though they have only had nine months to train, and will all take on multiple jobs during this mission.
The advantage for a four-person crew on the last space shuttle mission is one most parents of small children will understand. Everyone gets a window seat.

The rooms of the hotel is very beautifully built, each room has a balcony. The rooms are cleaned every day, you got new towels and were always nicely clean. The hotel itself is beautifully, above all, because there are many different levels with couches (terrassen-formation) has, so you if all rooms are occupied, didn't have the feeling that many people are present. The food is good and the waiters are very friendly. We were the 2. time and since it is a family business is, knew we already have all the waiters, chefs, etc..

You immediately felt comfortable in this hotel. Still, before you walk into the lobby you will see the sea through the glass doors. Relaxation is guaranteed, as the hotel is very quiet and small. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. Food was very delicious, even for me as a vegan i have found something. Especially nice were the evenings at the bar, at sunset and sommermusik. The whole area is just gorgeous with its 2 pools and the direct location to the sea. Wi-fi was available in the lobby, the dining area, at the pool and even on the ... beach! The tour operator has always ensured, that the tourists felt welcome and comfortable. We have booked 2 boat trips. Once through the bays of the island, which i can highly recommend, and once a turtle island, which, unfortunately, was canceled due to bad weather, reimbursement was not a problem. read hotel review

I am having a problem with the forks. I've replaced many a fork seals on the ST, and it was easy. But I have to remove the stanchion and have so far been unable to. Used and air wrench but the damper is still spinning. Reassembled the forks, but that didn't help. I still do not have the manual, and stuff online is not specific to this bike. Anybody familiar with it? Or have any advice ?
So, have you got the fork caps installed and tightened down before you use the air wrench to remove the dampner bolt? Hopefully, because the is the easy way to do it. And you may have to use big twist, like a 1/2 air wrench, with the caps screwed all the way down for resistance.
Faster you fool!

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Disney appears to have changed the Kingdom Tower to the Bay Lake Tower. Speculation is because it sounded too much like Kingdom Hall from Jehovah's Witness. I never put together that connection, but I guess I could see where other people might.
I'm just wondering why they didn't name it the Villas at the Contemporary Resort like they've done at all the other DVC "additions"?
Anyways, here's the article: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/bus...s-bay-lak.html
edit: IF they add a DVC tower on the South side, I wonder what they'd call that?

Final Thoughts
Before The Oct. 30 Games
- Final Thoughts
25 | Oct. 2 | Oct. 9
| Oct.

Pete Fiutak
Follow me ... Follow me to freedom! ...
- It's been assumed that the pieces are going to keep on falling, and it might happen this weekend. Would it be a shock of Oregon lost at USC? Not really. Would it be a stunner if Missouri lost at Nebraska? Not at all. Would anyone be surprised if Michigan State lost at Iowa? Not a bit. Everything appears to be set up for at least two of those three big things to happen (and that's not even throwing in the possibility of Ole Miss rising up and beating Auburn at home), if not all three. But if you're really looking for this season to be thrown into a tailspin, and if you're really hoping for chaos to ensue, then root for all the unbeatens to keep on winning. Nothing will ever force the BCS types to change the system, but as we're seeing in this current political climate, outrage equals action. Of course, the difference here is that mad Spartan, Tiger, Bronco, Ute, and Horned Frog fans won't be able to do anything about it if their teams go unbeaten and Auburn and Oregon win out.
- This is the week that Lane Kiffin shows the world he can coach. I thought he did an underappreciated job last year getting an awful Tennessee team into a decent bowl. With two weeks off to prepare for an Oregon team that played Stanford and six other warm handfuls of goo, this is where USC blows through the sanctions and shows what the program is capable of under this regime.
- It's Oregon, people. You know it's coming at some point.
- It didn't sound quite right, but Derek Dooley's historical analogy was actually used correctly. It was misguided, confusing, and melodramatic, but correct.
- Dog Kiffin all you want for his time in Knoxville, but he never looked through the binoculars and saw the Allies coming.
- Quick, name the guy who's going to become Penn State's all-time rushing leader this weekend against Michigan.
- Don't be shocked if this is the week Denard Robinson pokes his head back in that Heisman race.
- At least Evan Royster's emergence as the most productive Nittany Lion rusher ever has forced fans under the age of 30 to learn that there was a first Curt Warner before the other Kurt Warner.
- Speaking of the Heisman, Cam Newton already has the trophy, but if you're going to award an MVP, Newton is still probably No. 1 but Baylor QB Robert Griffin is No. 1A. Baylor is 6-2 and on top of the Big 12 South, and it might have made this type of noise last year if Griffin didn't get hurt. He's third in the nation in total offense, 14th in passing efficiency, leads the Big 12 in both categories, and he's coming off a 404-yard, four touchdown day in the win over Kansas State. If he can pull off a win over Texas this week, he deserves to be at least No. 3 on the ballot and Art Briles has to start being hailed as some sort of super-genius.
- In the too-lazy-to-look-it-up department, I'm going to definitively declare that Griffin is the first player in the history of mankind to run for 100 yards one week (137 against Colorado) and throw for 400 (404 against Kansas State) the next.
- Try this for bucking a trend. Colorado is trying to beat Oklahoma in Norman this weekend, and if it pulls it off, it'll be the first time since 1999 that the Sooners have lost at home in the regular season following a loss.
- I'm sure Chris Spielman, Brian Bosworth, and Mike Singletary could probably make a run at this mark, but again, in the really-I'm-too-frickin'-lazy-to-look-this-up department, I'm just going to say that Buffalo's marvelous safety Davonte Shannon, easily the best college football player over the last four years you've never heard of, is about to come up with some sort of a record against Miami University this weekend. A four-year starter, he made 34 tackles in the first three years against the RedHawks with 14 as a freshman, six as a sophomore, and 14 as a junior as part of the 404 stops he has made so far in his career. At the very least, he has to be up there with the most tackles ever made by a defensive back against one team.
- Something to keep an eye on for you Ray Guy Award lovers out there. Georgia's Drew Butler won the award in a walk last year averaging a whopping 48 yards per kick. He'll be going against Florida's Chas Henry this week, who's averaging 49.3 yards per boot.
- Yeah, the punters might be the stars in the Cocktail Party.
- I just hope Florida vs. Georgia isn't sad.
- The Big East might be a punching bag in national perception, and it doesn't deserve to be within ten miles of an automatic BCS bid this year, but it might just be the most interesting conference from top to bottom. Syracuse doesn't have an offense, but if it wins at Cincinnati, it just might be for real, while Louisville has very, very quietly gotten pretty good, pretty fast under Charlie Strong, especially on defense, and it can make a huge statement against Pitt.
- Don't assume that Notre Dame is going to wipe up the mat with Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane has a plucky offense that can put points on the board in a hurry. You know, like Notre Dame is supposed to do.
- Ohio State vs. Minnesota is on ABC primetime Saturday night, but the BCS Championship will be on ESPN. Got it.
- Really? Ohio State vs. Minnesota? There isn't a Cop Rock reunion show in the can somewhere?
- Interesting over/under of the week. Texas Tech/Texas A&M passing yards vs. Idaho/Hawaii passing yards. The line would probably be set at WAC matchup -75.
- Yes, it is pretentious to suggest that the Conference USA showdown between East Carolina and UCF could turn out to be the best matchup of the weekend, but no, that might not be wrong.
- If you were my close, personal friend and you were going off to Vegas to legally "invest" the second mortgage on the double-wide (after you just refinanced, of course, considering the ridiculous rates being thrown out there) along with the nine dollars left in Suzie's 529, I'd suggest taking a look-see at Northwestern -3 at Indiana, Oklahoma -24 over Colorado, Oklahoma State -6 at Kansas State, Utah -7 over Air Force, and I'm thinking of hopping on a plane myself just to put a hard-earned dollar on Western Kentucky -3.5 over North Texas. Of course, there's a reason why the Vegas casinos and hotels are so massive.
- By the way, I went 5-1 ATS on these picks last week. It won't last. I was hopped up on Gummi Worms.
- Cal, it's time to show you can play on the road and beat Oregon State. The Bears are 0-3 away from Berkley getting blown out by Nevada and USC and losing Arizona. At home, no one has come close. Part of the reason is that UC Davis, Colorado, Arizona State, and UCLA all suck, but something to watch out for, Oregon comes to town in a few weeks.
- While the New Mexico – New Mexico State game was bad, San Jose State – New Mexico State could be fun bad. I take a perverse joy in watching games like this between obscure teams. They try harder and the fans really, really care.
- Yeah, you're right; I really could use a hug.
- Seriously, name better fans in all of sport than season ticket holders for San Jose State or New Mexico State.
- This week's under-the-radar Prove It Team: San Diego State. This might be the third best team in the Mountain West, and if it is, it needs to rock against a punchless Wyoming team on the road.
- If Ole Miss beats Auburn, it might be okay to officially declare the entire SEC West better than the SEC East.
- Yeah, I know, South Carolina, I see you.
- There's no excuse, RichRod. Penn State is awful, you've had two weeks to prepare, and Denard is as healthy as he's ever going to be ever again for the rest of his life. Bury the three-footer or else you really do deserve to be on the hot seat.
Richard Cirminiello
- How transformational has Charlie Strong been at Louisville? With an upset of Pittsburgh this weekend, the Cards will be tied for first in the Big East and a win from bowl eligibility.
- Shouldn't the nation's off-the-radar football programs have the highest graduation rates? It's not as if their rosters are littered with kids using campuses as NFL stepping stones.
- When Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers lines up opposite Boston College LT Anthony Castonzo, it'll be one of the weekend's most intriguing match ups from a pro scout's perspective.
- It won't get any attention outside Conference USA circles, but East Carolina at UCF is one of the sneaky good match ups of Week 9.
- Few are buying into Michigan State as a legit national title contender, but that instantly changes if it wins at Iowa.
- Ditto Mizzou, which will enlist a slew of new believers if it gets out of Lincoln with its perfect record intact. You get the feeling, though, that Nebraska got its one bad game out of the system already.
- The play of fill-in Arizona QB Matt Scott last week will do more for injured Nick Foles' rehab than any trainer on that Wildcat staff.
- Georgia is picking up a tailwind, but Urban Meyer almost never loses coming out of a bye. The Dawgs and the Gators are way down, but it's still the Cocktail Party and someone has to win the SEC East.
- Ole Miss QB Jeremiah Masoli will have an interesting perspective on the nation's top two teams. He faces No. 1 Auburn on Saturday night and led No. 2 Oregon a year ago.
- As it heads to Austin, Baylor is ranked higher than Texas. Isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse?
- Washington's Jake Locker and Stanford's Andrew Luck have been in the same sentence a lot over the past few months. On Saturday, they'll be in the same building in a game of utmost interest to NFL GMs.
- Even with a leaky unit, two weeks might be too long for USC defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin to devise a scheme to slow down Oregon.
- By Sunday morning, don't be shocked if USC QB Matt Barkley is climbing up a lot of people's Heisman short list.
- How does TCU coach Gary Patterson handle the second half in Vegas? He wants his Frogs healthy for next week's trip to Utah, but he'd also like to narrow the perception gap on Boise State.
By Matt Zemek
- Florida-Georgia: Steve Spurrier wants Florida to win this game and then beat the Gators himself on Nov. 13 at The Swamp. South Carolina fans hope that their coach will be disappointed. History, though, shows that Spurrier will be inwardly smiling on Saturday night. Do the words "Jasper Sanks," "Quincy Carter," "Terrence Edwards," and "Billy Bennett" mean anything to you?
- Auburn-Ole Miss: This isn't an original thought – others have beaten me to it on the internets – but sometimes, admitting someone else has a better line than you do is the best policy: "Saturday night, Jeremiah Masoli will try to lead Oregon to its first-ever No. 1 ranking in the BCS standings."
- Oregon-USC: This is a sportswriter's delight. First of all, no extra points will be kicked in this game. Second, Lane Kiffin – for all the times he gets pilloried and pounded by the college football cognoscenti – was indeed the man who came closest to toppling last year's best team, the Alabama Crimson Tide. Now Kiffin gets a chance to knock off the best team in his conference and the No. 2 team in the nation. However, Kiffin isn't playing with house money in this game. If he gets blown out, he's going to face some real-world heat, and his ability to match wits with Chip Kelly is going to be questioned. You know that the folks on Good Ole Rocky Top want to see Oregon humiliate, not just beat, their beloved Vols' former coach. There's no end to the stream of juicy, rich storylines in this tilt.
- Clemson-Boston College: If Clemson, freshly thrust back into ACC Atlantic contention by Christian Ponder's Joe Pisarcik moment Thursday night in Raleigh, slips on the banana peel in New England, Dabo Swinney should be fired on the spot. Well…… (pause)…… no, he shouldn't be, but it will prove that Clemson is not ready to stay in the big leagues after winning a cluttered and mediocre Atlantic Division last season. Tiger fans will lose their minds (what's left of them, anyway, after decades of undeserved torture) if their boys don't win this game.
- Syracuse-Cincinnati: Syracuse is playing hard. Syracuse is playing with boldness. Syracuse's competitive subculture is changing. The Orange still sport a woeful, offense, though; if Cincinnati can't ring up 24 points on the Cuse and Doug Marrone's team wins another plug-ugly road game by an NFL-ish 16-13 score, you do realize that civilization is just two Pittsburgh losses away from a Syracuse-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl, don't you? Syracuse and Oklahoma only belong together in the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight, not the Fiesta Bowl. And you thought the World Series ratings were low…….
- Tennessee-South Carolina: If you think this is money in the bank for South Carolina, you know nothing about life, history, the laws of physics, the rules of nature, anything.
- Kansas-Iowa State: Scary thought: Iowa State could win this game by 50 points, and it wouldn't come as a complete surprise. 60 points? That would be a complete surprise.
- Michigan State-Iowa: Will Sparty take last year's Marvin McNutt moment and turn it into a Kirk Cousins moment in Iowa City? Will Ricky Stanzi learn how to manage the clock in a tense endgame situation? Will Iowa not botch two placekicks? And here's the biggest question of all: If Iowa leads by four to six points with five minutes left in the game, and Michigan State has fourth-and-eight from midfield, will Iowa be dumb enough to expect an actual punt from the Spartans? Yes, we're still reeling from the realization that Northwestern players are stupid, stupid, stupid. (Sigh, American education these days………)
- Missouri-Nebraska: Ah, another game in which Nebraska, playing at home, gets to say goodbye to a team staying behind in the Big 12. That can mean only one thing: Your 2010 Big 12 North Division Champions, the Missouri Tigers!!!!!!!! Well, then again, there's no bitter grudge between these schools. Mizzou would have wanted to join Nebraska in the Big Ten. The competing tension in this game: Will Nebraska feel mentally shaky because of its Texas stink-bomb two weeks ago, or will Missouri be thrown by the haunting memory of its fourth-quarter collapse against Nebraska last year?
- California-Oregon State: Okay, this time we're serious: Unlike the knee-jerk firing of Dabo Swinney if Clemson loses at Boston College (we don't really mean that), if Cal gets blasted by 30 or more points in a lie-down-and-die surrender act at Reser Stadium, just ship Jeff Tedford out of town and be done with it, Berkeley. See what Chris Petersen thinks about the not-too-big-city culture near Strawberry Canyon and buttress all the dough you're throwing (i.e., wasting) into your athletic facilities.
- San Jose State-New Mexico State: An in-conference version of the New Mexico-New Mexico State game from a few weeks ago. In other words, this is the game for people who loved the ending of Anna Karenina.
- Stanford-Washington: The Huskies need this win for their bowl hopes. Memo to Washington football administrators and coaches: Until you reach a bowl game, how's about (yes, we sometimes use intentionally unpolished speech when we're confused and disbelieving) scheduling easier non-conference opponents so that you can actually, you know, REACH a bowl game? Then, after building up your program a little bit, THEN you can challenge your program a little more? Typical Seattle liberals… so much hubris (that's a joke for those who live here in Seattle and know what the subculture's really like in this city).
- Kentucky-Mississippi State: If Kentucky beats "Number 21" (cough, cough, hack, wheeze, choke, gag, cough, wheeze) Mississippi State, is it a good thing for the SEC? I imagine I'll hear how the East is showing resilience against that awesome West Division….. (cue eyeroll in 3……. 2……….. 1……….)
- Baylor-Texas: What in the name of Grant Teaff could happen Saturday night in Austin? Will the wiles of Briles create a Brown frown? Will "Griffin The Third" flip the Longhorns the bird? You look at these teams and wonder if Texas's resistible force – its offense – can find life against Baylor's moveable object – its defense. Logic says Baylor, but history says Texas. I'll take history over logic in this year's Big 12. You do recall that according to history, Texas owns Nebraska. Well, there you go.
- Utah-Air Force: The biggest game not found on a widely-accessible cable or broadcast network. And you wonder why the Mountain West Conference was no longer attractive to Utah or BYU. It is criminal that this game isn't easily accessible for college football fans. So much is on the line in this game, and given the closeness of the series – no game has been decided by more than eight points since Utah won by 14 in 2004 – Air Force really could pull off the upset. If the Falcons were to upend the Utes, we could witness a massive shift in the whole BCS bowl landscape this season. College Gameday would also skip Salt Lake City on Nov. 6 and plant itself in Baton Rouge for a certain game involving the defending national champions.
- Michigan-Penn State: No pressure, Rich Rodriguez. No. Pressure. At. All.

The bizarre combination, which was first created in 1913, has now been licensed in tablet form in time for the annual battle to shift the extra pounds put on over the festive period.
Trading under the name Quantrim, its ingredients include a seaweed "superfood" called Bladderwrack and a commonly found weed called Cleavers (or Clivers).
Together they combine to raise the body's metabolism which in turn burns more calories naturally.
Seaweed is a trendy health food for celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Madonna. And Cleavers, which has the nicknames goosegrass and sticky willy, has been used in health recipes dating back to Roman time.
The combination became popular 100 years ago when Scottish herbalist William Box created his Slimwell Anti-Fat Slimming Tablets.
A spokesperson for Quantrim said: "Quantrim is a safe, natural weight-loss aid that will enable everyone to achieve their ideal weight, with less struggle than dieting alone."

Finding Time to Read, Part 3: Make it Short
Here's another idea on how to squeeze more reading into your busy schedule. Try reading shorter books or even better, a book of short stories. The shorter length makes it less intimidating than a 500 page tome. Plus, you'll get the encouraging feeling of finishing a book, making you more likely to get started on the next one. Ask a librarian to recommend a good collection of short stories and a pleasantly petite novel to get you started.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
John (Brad Pitt) and Jane Smith (Angelina Jolie) are a married couple, yet both are living boring lives and they have both been attending marriage therapy, as their lives haven't been passionate since they got married. The thing they don't know about each other is that they are both professional assassins working for two rival agency's. They have kept this secret from each other their whole lives. John's latest assignment is to eliminate Benjamin "Tank" Danz, but it all becomes complicated when Jane is also assigned to eliminate the same target that John has been assigned to kill. Learning that they are both assassins and failing to eliminate the target, both of John and Jane's employers decides that they try to take each other out.
007 - Casino Royale
Casino Royale brought back James Bond (Daniel Craig) in to the top movies. Bond is back and he has the "license to kill" on him. Le Chiffre, the villian in the film, is a banker to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe among the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known as M sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter, Mathis and having Vesper pose as his wife, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. Bond goes through an intense poker game and a series of drama and betrayals. It is a great movie, just like the ones before it.
Having a Hell of a Time with Hellboy
With a new movie in theaters week and the climatic final book in the series people all over the world are all set to be enjoying the adventures of Harry Potter, the boy wizard who in a short amount of time has become a pop culture icon. I could blog about J.K. Rowling's creation but honestly I don't think he needs the press (I will say that the fifth film "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the best one yet. It's got a great tone and it's the perfect length.) There is one supernatural hero though that I thought could use some press and deserves to be a pop culture icon, his name is Hellboy and he was created by writer/artist Mike Mignola in 1993.
Batman Begins
This is a classic movie of the fantasy and fiction series Batman. The movie was directed by Christopher Nolan. Christopher had turned the oldies Batman into a new fresh looking Batman. The character that played the role of Batman was Bruce Wayne. Other characters in the cast are Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, Ken Watanabe, Mark Boone Junior, Linus Roache, Morgan Freeman, Larry Holden, Gerard Murphy, and Colin McFarlane. The movie begins off with Bruce Wayne as a young boy. In childhood he had a great amount of fear for bats, but as time passed and his life grew more and more into the darkness his weakness became his strength.
Are you Sustainable?
I've been thinking a lot lately about how my actions as an individual have an impact on the world at large. Reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver helped me learn more about food and the world (while having a very engaging reading experience and not feeling like I was being lectured), and I just stumbled across a new website that helps people, families, and businesses figure out how sustainable they are: Make Me Sustainable. Anyone can register on the site for free, and there are a ton of great features.
Kaho Naa Pyar Hai-Hindi

Also he is an orphan and lives with his little brother and his foster family. He meets Sonia. Amisha Patel is playing this role and she is the sweet heart of Rohit. She is seduced by his loving charm and innocence. Throughout the movie they are attracted towards each other. Sonia invites him on a cruise with her.

Sonia and Rohit both wake up in a small boat out in the middle of nowhere.
Lagaan: Once Upon A Time In India
The movie Lagaan takes place in India in a small village of Champaner in 1890s. It is a community of poor and innocent farmers who are working hard planting crops and reaping their harvest. Part of this community are Bhuvan (Aamir Khan), a young farmer, and Gauri (Gracie Singh), his love. One of the British officers, called Captain Russell, challenges Bhuvan to compete against him in a popular British sport known as Cricket. Indians have never heard of this sport before, but Bhuvan accepts the challenge. This is because if they win against the British team, then they do not have to pay lagaan (tax) for three whole years. The captain knows that the villagers have no chance of beating him and his team at their own game.
