Jul 2011 - $45.00
After reading the reviews we found this park to be a disappointment. Only one review mentioned that the road in was a little rough. It was much more than that. It is a VERY steep, gravel road, very dusty and it is too difficult for a Big Rig. We didn't have a choice as there is no place to turn around until you get to the top. The water had a metallic taste and smell and the pressure was low. While the spots are very large and wide they are not anywhere near level. There is no cable TV and only a few spots are open enough to attempt to get satellite TV. They advertise wi-Fi but it is not free. It requires payment to an outside vendor for a daily, weekly or monthly rate only good for one computer and the signal is pretty weak. They seem to be more geared to weekenders and renting out the cabins they have. After 9 years of full timing all over the US we do not feel this is a Big Rig friendly park and it is overpriced for the amenities they provide. We will not be returning. - thelackemanns

This is the second time we have stayed at this campground. We stayed here because it is close to the AllStar Village that our son played in. We loved being here! The view is beautiful, the owners are top notch, and the location is peaceful. The owners are constantly making improvements. They have added a mini playground area and laundry facilities were being added right when we left. We will camp here again with out any hesitation. Thanks for a great week! - mattnick2
Jul 2011 - $45.00
We selected this campground principally because of its location on a hill top in close proximity to Oneonta. The trip up the hill was a little rough, and our toad was coated with dust at its completion, but the ride was worth it. The view from the CG is lovely, and the site itself is remarkably nice. There is a very nice pool, with an adjacent kiddy play area, a fishing pond, a pavilion for meetings, and quite a few cabins for non-RVers. The public facilities are maintained fastidiously, and the management is extremely friendly and helpful. It's clear that they are interested in developing a first rate campground. We stayed for four nights, over the Fourth of July. We were told by the owners that Good Sam had refused to list them in their Directory, ostensibly because of insufficient facilities for children. We've been to lots of RV Campgrounds listed in their directory that had far less in the way of kiddy stuff. We'll be writing to Good Sam to challenge their failure to list this fine facility. - dyokum

We stayed here twice in two weeks during May. We found the area to be extremely clean, all sites level with fresh gravel and large enough for any camper on the road. A large and well kept area for kids of all ages. The owner is doing a noteworthy job with care of the area, is friendly and knows the area. The park is pet friendly without pet waste in evidence. We would definitely plan to stay there again when in the area. - Linda L62
May 2015 - $35.00
We stop here every year. The campground is in great shape. This year all the sites have new gravel down nice and level, the roads have new gravel down as well,. Campground is mowed and is in good shape. Bath house is older but is clean and has hot water. We would stay here again. - Jack P
Sep 2014 - $35.00
Very rough bath-house (poor carpentry work). Adequate water pressure in shower, but temperature swings in shower as commodes are flushed. The water supply stains porcelain fixtures brown. Lots of trees, but acorns hitting camper roof all night. - LTV camper

Thomas Kretschmann (KING KONG, THE RIVER, DRACULA 3D) has officially signed on for NBC's upcoming DRACULA series, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Kretschmann will play the legendary 'Van Helsing,' though one slightly different than the canonical understanding of the man. In NBC's series, Helsing is a revenge-seeking professor who may prove to be more of a threat to the public than to the infamous vampire.
Oliver Jackson-Cohen, most recently of MR. SELFRIDGE, has also signed on to play 'Jonathan Harker,' a journalist.
Click here to read the original report.
The 10-episode drama series is set in London and will feature Meyers as famed vampire 'Dracula' who is posing as American entrepreneur Alan Grayson. The out-of-towner claims he is trying to bring modern science to Victorian society, when in reality, "he hopes to wreak Revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier but falls hopelessly in love with Mina Murray (De Gouw) who appears to be the reincarnation of his dead wife."
Kretschmann joins previously announced cast members Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jessica De Gouw, Katie McGrath, Nonso Anozie, and Victoria Smurfit.
Dracula is executive produced by Colin Callender, Tony Krantz, Gareth Neame and Dan Knauf for and Universal Television.

An experimental campaign on the Nova laser was started in July 1993 to study one set of target conditions for the point design of the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The targets were specified to investigate the current NIF target conditions: a plasma of ∼3 keV electron temperature and an electron density of ∼1.0 x 1021 cm−3. A gas cell target design was chosen to confine a gas of ∼0.01 cm3 in volume at ∼1 atm. This paper will describe the major steps and processes necessary in the fabrication, testing, and delivery of these targets for shots on the Nova Laser at LLNL.

Respond to Review of vego Foodworld
by J-Veg
Review: I've been here a few times and would go back again. It's a vegetarian/vegan fast food joint. They have burgers, chips/fries, wraps, pizzas and salads as well as desserts such as cakes and pastries. The decoration and atmosphere leave a little to be desired but then again it's not a restaurant and doesn't aim to be on as far as I can tell. The food itself is good and I particularly like the home-made burgers. It's located in a very nice area so it's a great place to stop for lunch if you're exploring. One negative thing is that the prices aren't that cheap. A burger, some chips and a salad will set you back a little more than your regular take-away... but then again it is vegan and probably better quality than your average fast food place.

Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin talks about commercial real estate and development.
Connecture moving headquarters to Brookfield Lakes
Health insurance software provider Connecture Inc. will move its headquarters from Pewaukee to Brookfield, less than a year after the rapidly growing firm moved to Wisconsin.
Connecture has signed a 10-year lease with Core Realty Holdings Management Inc. for 33,000 square feet at Brookfield Lakes Corporate Center, a move that will increase Connecture's space by more than 40%, the company said.
The software firm is now based at N17 W24222 Riverwood Drive. Its new address in Brookfield will be 18500 W. Corporate Drive.
Connecture has 231 employees, and is scheduled to be in its new offices by Aug. 1, Meg Riddle, Connecture marketing manager, said Wednesday.
The firm announced in February it was moving its headquarters to Pewaukee from Atlanta.
At that time, Gov. Scott Walker's office announced Connecture would receive up to $1.2 million in state tax credits over three years if it created 105 technology jobs during that period.
Since then, the company has accomplished more than half of that job goal, Connecture President Dan Maynard said.
"Connecture's technology will play a key role in the future of healthcare in the United States ,and it's imperative that we continue to attract and retain the best talent at all of our locations," said Maynard said, in a statement.
The company also continues to grow and hire at its facilities in Atlanta and Farmington, Conn.

What are the social issues dealt with in "To Kill A Mockingbird""?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Two of the main social issues "To Kill a Mockingbird" are racism and coming of age. The issue of racism is primarily dealt with during events leading to, during, and following the trial of Tom Robinson. During those events, Atticus Finch must defend Tom against charges that are obviously not true. In the process, he must teach the town a lesson on equal treatment of people. During that time, Scout also must grow up in an environment of racial hostility and learn how to "walk in someone else's shoes. Her dealings with Boo Radley and Atticus' example teach her not to judge others on the basis of race, rumor or class.

nature of the link?

Location: Terok Nor
nature of the link?
When Odo links with the Female Founder, they're clearly having some kind of a sexual relationship. However he also links with another changeling who's taken a male shape, and in that instance it's equally clear that the communion is of a different nature; simply the relief of existing for a few moments in the state that you're meant to exist.
I find it quite confusing. In their natural state, they don't really have different sexes, they do not even distinguish individuals, they're an amorphous mass.
So how come they don't all appear as sexless "neutral" shapes when they take humanoid form?
Plus the process of linking cannot really have sexual overtones most of the time, or else the entire race would exist in a permanent state of group sex, with the Great Link just being one big orgy...

The Internet is buzzing. It looks like Mark Eaton has signed up for a tryout with the WBS Penguins. Stand by. EDIT: Confirmation from the WBS Pens. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced today that they have signed defenseman Mark Eaton to a professional tryout agreement (PTO). Eaton, 35, spent the last two seasons with the New York Islanders, where he posted one goal, six assists and 18 penalty minutes in 96 games. The fifteen-year pro skated four seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins from 2006-2010 after being signed as a free agent on July, 3, 2006. Eaton compiled 31 points (7G-24A) over 218 games for Pittsburgh. He notched four goals and three assists in the 24 playoffs contests as the Penguins claimed the 2009 Stanley Cup. We're not sure what all of this means, but consider us excited if he ends up on the third pairing on the NHL Pens. Edit 2: Apparently this is just a WBS thing. .@rick_city Just a WBS thing. PTOs are only for 25 games...

Teens launch video of basketball, football trick shots to raise awareness of poverty | VIDEO
EVANSVILLE - Making videos to post online would seem to be the latest way for college-age people to raise awareness for nonprofit organizations.
Three weeks ago, 19-year-old Nik Fahrer, who is studying accounting and management information systems at the University of Evansville, got together with six of his schoolmates and decided to compile a six-minute video of basketball and football trick shots to spread awareness on poverty issues. The students set out to film their shots over three days during spring break and on two consecutive weekends afterward, filming for five hours each day.
They were inspired to produce the video after seeing a similar trick shot video called "Trickwinkle," put together by Evansville native Preston Mattingly and some of his friends several months ago to raise money for the Evansville Boys and Girls Club. Fahrer and his team knew "Trickwinkle" made for a good blueprint for a trick shot video, but they wanted to make sure they added a different flare to theirs.
"One day, all of us guys were saying, 'we want to make a trick shot video,'" said Fahrer. "I said, 'well anybody can make a trick shot, what can we do to make ours unique?' We decided we wanted to help raise awareness of poverty in this video."
Fahrer and his pals, UE students Michael Walsh, Jeramy Elrod, Marshall Fedolfi,Wes Knies, Kody Kralle and Eric Teppen drove around town with a portable basketball goal in the back of a pickup truck and used a handheld camera to capture their best. Most shots were improvised on the spot, such as Fahrer's shot from on top of Deaconess Hospital's Downtown parking garage to the ground-level goal across the street.
Working with Evansville Big Brothers Big Sisters, a nonprofit organization that focuses on youth mentoring, the group gathered the poverty statistics they needed to mesh with their footage. Fahrer walked into the Evansville Big Brothers Big Sisters office and showed the footage to their executive director, Linda Reed, who thought what the students were trying to do was "awesome."
Reed directed the students to websites that listed national statistics about poverty, as well as in Vanderburgh County. They listed those facts on sheets of cardboard and displayed them in the video between shots. Fahrer edited the video on his computer and started sending it out via Facebook and Twitter.
The students used statistics such as one in five children in America live in poverty, 46 percent of public school students in Vanderburgh County receive free lunches, and the child poverty rate in Vanderburgh County has increased 7 percent over the last five years. Facts about Vanderburgh County were found at www.datacenter.kidscount.org, which shows poverty statistics by states and counties. National statistics were pulled off the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America website at www.bbbs.org. At the end of the video, viewers are urged to donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
"It took a lot of time for those shots," said Reed. "They were very dedicated to making it very professional and trying to draw attention by doing something different. I thought it was very admirable for them trying to help people they don't even know."
A week ago, the students released their video, which they called "Splash Effect," the motion a basketball net makes when a shot is made with nothing but net. By Friday evening, mobile and standard versrions of the video had accumulated nearly 6,300 views on YouTube, and Fahrer had received numerous compliments around campus.
Peter Rosen, an associate professor of management information systems at UE, taught Fahrer in his intro to business course last year and feels the students have a chance of sending the video viral if they continue promoting it through social media and get national news coverage of their efforts.
"I really think they're raising awareness on this important issue about poverty right here in the United States," Rosen said.
Rosen said by intertwining the trick shots with important messages, the video keeps viewers hooked. He said they had been trying to get more attention by "tweeting" celebrities and asking them to "retweet" the video. Rosen had spoken with them Thursday and was marveled by the stories behind the shots, mainly how some of the tougher ones were made in such a relative short amount of time. No single shot took more than an hour to complete.
Perhaps the most impressive shot in the video, according to Fahrer, was a 45-yard field goal kicked by Teppen, a goalkeeper for UE soccer who was the kicker for Harrison High School's football team. The students had gone to Harrison's football field the to film the shot thinking it would take all day to accomplish. As luck would have it, Teppen nailed the shot in just five tries.
"We were so excited when we made it. We didn't think it was going to happen," said Teppen. "We thought it was going to take a couple hours, I guess that lucky one went in."
Trick shots come naturally to the group since they play games of H.O.R.S.E. three times a week at UE's Carson Center, along with pickup games of basketball.
"We do get hyped up about a game of H.O.R.S.E.," said Fahrer. "A lot of the guys like to smack talk and egg each other on saying they're better than everyone else. To say the least, we are very competitive."
With the success of their first video, Fahrer hopes to have a second video out this summer, along with a website. In their second video, Fahrer plans to spread awareness for another nonprofit organization. Also, he wants to have wristbands made that promote awareness of Big Brother Big Sister and sell them for about $1 each.

Cucumber and Tomato Salad with Garlic Tahini Dressing
Easing back into cooking in Toronto, I tried to highlight local, seasonal vegetables. We arrived too late to grow our own garden but we had a little help from family.
These cucumbers were courtesy of Rob's mother's garden and the tomatoes came from my sister-in-law's parents' garden. The dressing was a simple lemon-tahini-garlic combination that pretty much never fails. Although the twist was adding some olives. I don't use them very often but it was an unusual and nice accent to the creamy dressing.
What are you growing this year?
I am sharing this with Souper Sundays and Bookmarked Recipes.
Blueberry Tamari Greens Bowl & Salad Samurai Giveaway
Thank goodness I got my share of summer while I was still in Houston. Spending a month in Africa was sunny, but still a bit nippy, and definitely not that green. Our first week back in Canada was hot and humid, but that was an anomaly. Toronto didn't get much of a summer this year, either.
However, while I am no farmer, I think one thing that has benefitted from the rainy days has been the blueberries. The wild blueberries were unbelievably big this year and the cultivated ones, even more massive. Rob tried to warn me when I loaded up with some cultivated blueberries: They don't taste that great, he whispered to me. Turns out they were big and blueberry-delicious. And I didn't have to share them with Rob. Score! :)
Without restraint, I added them to my morning oats and carefully crafted this salad courtesy of Terry'sFrom Salad Samurai. A multi-component, main dish salad with a spinach base, filled with cucumber and blueberries, beefed up with Ginger Beer tofu and topped with sticky, sweet & savoury almonds with Chinese 5-spice. I tried to stay true to the recipe, but only changes were to decrease the tamari because it was an ever-present ingredient in nearly all the components. I also did not want to turn on my oven for the tofu, so I pan-fried it in its marinade. It wasn't as crispy as it would have been baked, but still good. The star of the salad, other than the big blueberries, were the Chinese 5-spiced glazed almonds which were perfectly balanced with the tamari, agave and the Chinese 5-spice imparted an interesting edge that I did not expect to taste so good.
This was not my first salad from the cookbook and it will certainly not be my last. Because the salads are huge ensembles of dressings, flavoured mains and interesting toppings, it can be hard to settle down and make an entire salad. Terry has some tips to master your art of making heavenly salads throughout the week. I have been picking and choosing each component separately, although, I really want to make everything: Thai Seitan Larb in Lettuce Cups, Lentil Pate Banh Mi Salad Rolls, East-West Roasted Corn Salad, Green Papaya Salad with Lemongrass Tofu, Miso Edamame Succotash Salad, Seitan Bacon Wedge Salad with Horseradish Dressing, Kimchi Black Rice with Asian Pear, Collards and Sweet Potato Crunch Bowl… ok, ok, I will stop. I basically want to make everything. The recipes are grouped by season and feature salads with loads of flavour from lots of fresh vegetables (no kidding) but also fresh herbs and spices. Terry also has a fun chapter for sweet salads, including a coconut carrot cake salad and overnight oats with Mexican chocolate creme that are calling out for salads for breakfast and dessert, too. Trust me, I am looking forward to cooking through this throughout the whole year.
Thankfully, the publisher is letting me share the recipe AND give a cookbook to one reader living anywhere in the world (since I will be shipping it). To be entered, please leave a comment here, telling me about your favourite salad. I will randomly select a winner on September 5, 2014. Good luck!

Creamy Curried Lentil Salad
It is nice to be home again. While I have a very bare kitchen (some borrowed knives, cutting board, pot and frypan only with a few containers), I am still happy to be starting my new life. We had dedicated more time for unpacking over the long weekend, but since we had nothing to unpack, we spent more time at my parents, thoroughly exploiting their fully functional kitchen.
We quickly gravitated to make old favourites: Tamarind Lentils, Pad Thai, and Moroccan Carrot and Chickpea Salad. Then, finally itching to make something new, I decided to make a spin on two of my other favourite salads, aka The Best Lentil Salad and The Best Chickpea Salad. This time, I used lentils, capers and currants but with a dressing more similar to the tahini-maple-curry dressing from the chickpea salad. I added some greens, too, which I like to add to lentil salads. It was so delicious, it barely lasted one meal.
Got to love simple salads like this. What is your favourite summer salad?

Colourful Veggie Tahini Noodles
Desserts and salads, that's just the way we're rolling here these days.
There is just something so pretty about colourful vegetables, I had to share this fun twist on salad. Vegetable noodles, either created with a spiralizer, a shredder, or careful knife skills, can totally change your view on salad.
Rob cheers every time we finish something. I actually apologized when I finished the balsamic vinegar but Rob gave me a high five. I am a bit antsy about the lack of smoked paprika in the house, too, but pretty confident we'll replenish it before we return to Canada (because: PENZEY'S!).
The tahini may be dwindling but I have lots of sesame seeds. I haven't resorted to making my own homemade tahini yet, but it could be fun to try. Until then, my sesame seeds are usually garnishes.
This salad dressing is a fun twist on a creamy sauce, since it is made with tahini with accents from the rice vinegar, mustard and lemon pepper seasoning. As I said, the salad was fun to create, too: spiralized zucchini is tossed with shredded carrots, thinly sliced red cabbage and instead of edamame (which would be good, too), I added sweet sugar snap peas. A bit different but fun for a change. And nice when you do not feel like cooking.
Note: I am pleading fifth amendment about the coconut flour. Some things were just meant to return to Canada. ;)

Eccentric Caesar Salad & Straight From the Earth Review+Giveaway
This post is a twofer.
First of all, I have a gift for all of you! A free Beyond Meat product – click here for your coupon.
I don't tend to get too excited about mock meats (it is a bit processed for my liking), but was really curious after it was selected as the "real chicken" on the Today's Show. Some things are easier to find in the United States, so with a coupon for a free product (see above), how could we refuse? Beyond Meat isn't new, but it was new to me and definitely uncannily similar to chicken, complete with the grill marks. You buy it frozen and just need to defrost it prior to serving. Thus, it was super easy to make and great source of protein.
Now for the book review, as advertised, with an eccentric Caesar salad. Eccentric because it is no standard Caesar. I mean, it is a vegan version of a decidedly un-vegan salad but the twist comes from the nutritional yeast and curry powder in the dressing and the mishmash of additional ingredients. The cashew-based dressing was simply delicious, aka awesome sauce. Paired with the fresh lettuce, buttery avocado, briny capers and hemp seeds, it was a superfood-packed salad. (And by superfoods, I mean super tasting foods!) Instead of the herby croutons, I wanted this to be a complete meal and thus added the chicken-less strips overtop. The strips look a bit too perfectly rectangular but they tasted great.
The recipe comes from Straight from the Earth, by mother and daughter team Myra and Marea Goodman of Earthbound Farm fame. Neither one is vegan but have created a gorgeous cookbook filled with tantalizing recipes. There is something for everyone between the two cooks. I found myself naturally gravitating to Marea's recipes, who learned her vegan culinary tricks while living and cooking for fellow vegans in a co-op while at college. Her mother's tastes are more classical. As an example, Marea has a recipe for chipotle-lime Brazil nuts and Myra has a recipe for double-roasted maple-spiced hazelnuts. OK, OK, both sound delicious. Lots of delicious recipes, including a nut-free crispy baked kale chips with nutritional yeast and shiitake mushroom, water chestnut and tofu lettuce cups.
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe and giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the continental United States. To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me what you think of mock meats. The winner will be selected at random on June 8, 2014. Good luck!

Thai Chickpea & Kale Salad Rolls with Peanut Dressing
My lovely friend, Dawn, recently asked me to share my tips for food blogging.
As you know, I have a demanding full-time job and this is my hobby. After a few years, I think I have a great balance between managing the blog and the rest of my life. Mainly, the blog does not take over my life.
Some people wonder how I make and share so many different recipes without losing my mind.
I try to keep things low-key. I only take photos once. New recipe, snap a photo. If I come back and the photos suck, oh well… I will still post the subpar photos if the recipe is good.
This also means that I may make a recipe one way but find a better use for it afterwards as leftovers. Then my photos might not look like my recipe!
That is how this recipe evolved. It started out as a Thai Kale Salad with Chickpeas and a Peanut Dressing. I made it, I ate it. However, the next day, I thought rice paper rolls would be better. So I wrapped them up… and decided I didn't want to bother with new photographs and munched away. Of course, the wrap was better. There is something sensational when all the components of the dish hit your palate at the exact same time: the lemony kale, the sweet red pepper, the crunchy carrots and the chickpeas are not rolling around everywhere…. and how could I forget the delicious peanut sauce? It is light, thinned with vinegar but flavourful with the ginger and orange. Drizzled into the salad roll, it was delicious. So delicious, I gobbled up the rest of the salad before rethinking about a new photo shoot.

Asparagus and Edamame Salad with Lime-Miso Dressing
With my meals revolving around plant-based whole foods, my mom has referred to my choice as being a vegan on steroids. While I have relaxed slightly, I still try my hardest to cater to others who may have dietary restrictions, for whatever reason. I have a friend with a sulphite allergy, family members with celiac disease and a coconut-hating mom. I was honoured when Ricki approached me to guest post on her blog. I have been reading it for years and enjoyed many of her creations (hemp brownies, the best vegan cheesecake, warm chickpea and artichoke salad and cocoa mint nibbles). All the while knowing she follows an anti-candida diet but never really knowing what it entailed. Imagine my surprise when Ricki told me how simple it really was: vegan, gluten-free meals without mushrooms, peanuts, pistachios, yeast and only low glycemic sweeteners. Without fail, I only then notice how all my recent recipes I wanted to share weren't suitable: a mushroom-walnut pate, veggie spring rolls with a peanut sauce, vegetable noodle salad with peanuts, the banana in my acai bowl or the maple syrup in my salad dressing. Then I started to second guess myself, is miso ok? What about almonds? Ricki's upcoming cookbook will help delineate this, along with new mouth-watering recipes and I cannot wait to read it. Until then, I decided to share what I know best: a hearty salad. ACD-friendly. I crafted a fun twist with spring's new bounty of asparagus. I paired it with edamame for some additional protein and toasted almonds for crunch and drizzled it with a miso-lime vinaigrette. Jump over to her blog to check out the recipe here.
Roasted Broccoli and Quinoa Salad with Quick-Pickled Raisins
Thank you, guys, for pointing out some technical difficulties with my last post. Everything should be working fine now, so don't miss your chance to win a new cookbooks and try out a fabulous recipe for Cuban beer-infused black beans.
Hopefully I haven't beaten roasted cauliflower to death yet as it is my favourite way to eat it. But, have you tried roasting broccoli yet?
Because, this was so revolutionary that a stranger came up to me at a grocery store, as I was picking out a head of broccoli. Have you tried roasting broccoli? OH MY GOSH. SO GOOD!
In my head, I was thinking: Yes, of course, I have tried it. Broccoli is great roasted! While you could just roast the head, I have got you covered with more creative options: a delicious Forty Clove Chickpeas and Broccoli and even atop a Roasted Veggie and Kale Pizza (with a quinoa-bean crust).
But it is true. Roasting broccoli doesn't happen nearly enough. We usually opt to steam it so I decided to roast this newest head. While you can simply roast broccoli with nothing more than a touch of oil with some salt and pepper, I dusted it with curry powder first and then broiled it until it was slightly charred and tender. I then added it to some pan-roasted tomatoes and carrots, quinoa, fresh arugula and toasted cashews topped with the piece de resistance: quick-pickled raisins conferring a salty-sweet-acidy tang, nicely balancing the whole dish. The recipe inspiration came from Joe Yonan's Eat Your Vegetables and his original recipe is for a single serving. This would be way too much work for a single meal, so I doubled it. Furthermore, I recommend doubling it again to last a few more meals as you'll love the mix of flavours.
Have you ever tried roasted broccoli?

Holiday Salad with Cranberry-Orange Vinaigrette
Yesterday, we had a potluck at work. Non-denominational for the holidays, there was an Italian theme. In addition, the organizer reminded us of some food restrictions in our department: nut allergies, no eggs, gluten-free and vegetarian.
My original plan was to bring the vegan cheese log, but figured the vegans would appreciate it more. Indeed, they loved it possibly more than me! Instead of bringing vegetables for the non-vegans, I shared a treat that did not even seem vegan: the very best chocolate truffles! Also, because it met all of the listed dietary restrictions! It is nut-free, egg-free, dairy-free as well as free of artificial sweeteners and flours. It is also (almost) raw. Not quite raw because I use non-raw cocoa powder. I think a few people were scratching their head wondering exactly what was in my truffles since I had such a long list of what was not in them. All yummy, though!
(Of note, I discovered the truffles are super soft after being at room temperature for 3 hours… and I think the best remedy for this would be coat them in a magic shell!!)
I am a bit behind on my potlucks, though. At our last work potluck, celebrating Thanksgiving, I did represent the veggies with this salad. We have made this holiday-inspired ruby red dressing a few times after Emma suggested it. It adds a gorgeous colour to your salad and the delicious sweet-tart cranberries in the dressing is balanced by orange juice and maple syrup.
Pictures here with lettuce, dried cranberries, pecans and pumpkin seeds, I find it pairs amazing with brown rice or curried chickpeas to make a complete meal. Apples and cucumbers make a nice contrast, too.
I asked Rob to take photos and he told me he wanted to highlight the pretty red dressing by drizzling it in fun patterns overtop the salad. It was a bit challenging with a spoon. He may have picked up on my hint that squeeze bottles would make a nice gift (and under $5!). In actuality, he told me we already had squeeze bottles: I just need to finish the agave nectar. Not too hard after I made 3 batches of the best truffles ever within the past week. ;)
Would you have gone with the salad or chocolate?? (Or both?)
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and to this month's Feel Good Food challenge for cranberries.
Maple-Dijon Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pecans and Cranberries & Cookbook Giveaway!
While I prefer Brussels sprouts roasted, I also like them slipped into scrambles, skillets, stir fries, pastas, soups and salads. The last on my bucket list (I think) was to try them raw, shredded into a slaw.
Raw versus cooked. Talk about something new. Now the endearing term "little cabbage" comes to light. Shredded Brussels sprouts let their true Brassica family roots shine through, with a definite cabbage undertone. Here it is paired with a sweet maple Dijon mustard dressing with sweet dried cranberries and local Southern pecans for some crunch.
Not sure whether raw Brussels sprouts are for you? I am certain this would be delightful with roasted ones, as well. Sometimes, it is nice not to wait for your vegetables to roast or to try something different. Something a bit lighter in spite of its wintery feel.
This salad is courtesy of Raw & Simple, which I verily enjoyed (un)cooking through this summer, amid Houston's hot heat. Judita has written a cookbook with easy, tasty recipes without the fuss of complicated raw show-stoppers. Some delicacies are included, too, though. She incorporates a few non-raw ingredients like maple syrup, as evidenced by this recipe. I recommend her simple Raw Chunky Tomato Marinara with zucchini noodles, Calexico Salad, Five-Pepper Vegetable Chili, and still want to try her Southwest Corn Chowder, Healthy Mary (a spin off a Bloody Mary), Thai Veggie Noodles, Raw Meat and Cheese Pierogies and her Wild Blueberry Meyer Lemon Cheesecake.
A few typos aside, I really enjoy this cookbook and want to share it with you.Thankfully the publisher is letting me give a cookbook to one reader living in the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom (YES!). To be entered, please leave a comment here, telling me which recipe you'd like to try the most (or if you have a recipe from Judita that you recommend). Have a look through the table of contents of Raw & Simple on amazon (or my list below) or pick something from her blog and tell me what you want to cook the most. I will randomly select a winner on November 30, 2013. Good luck!

Kale Salad with a Raw Thousand Island Dressing
While we planned our trip to Burning Man half a year in advance, it wasn't until we bought our plane tickets that we decided to tack on a side trip to Portland and then roadtrip it down to the desert. Rob was worried that I wouldn't like the extreme nature of the camping we'd have to do in the desert, so we planned for success. How could we not enjoy Portland?
Turns out that each part of the trip was better than the next. After Portland, we drove East through the Columbia River Gorge, stopping at the Hydro Dam and Multnomah Falls. The path to the top of the falls may only be 1.25 miles long, but you are basically going up and up. Kind of like Mother Nature's Stairmaster. There was a 700ft elevation. It was a fun but tiring jaunt! If I lived in Portland, I could see this as a fun fitness bench marker (similar to the Grouse Grind in Vancouver, which I have yet to do). How fast can you climb the falls?
The following day, we skirted along the gorge, through the Hood River Fruit Loop and stopped to pick up local sweet peaches and huckleberries (it was my first time trying them – they are similar to a tart wild blueberry).
Our next stop was the Smith Rock State Park. Since it took us a good 3 hours to get here, it was too late to begin the Misery Ridge trail. Because of the heat and lack of shade, you should begin this early in the day. In any case, we didn't bring our hiking boots with us, so we had already planned to do smaller hikes and watch some of the mountain climbers.
Our next destination was the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Billed as the best lava park between Iceland and Hawaii, we had fun walking around the volcanic crater and the lava field below. To be honest, I didn't even know there were volcanoes on the continental US. We didn't have enough time to explore the lava tubes, but we will definitely be back.
The next day, we scheduled a whole day for Crater Lake National Park. You can drive around the lake and stop off for lots of smaller hikes. We hiked up to a great lookout, again on another side, to see some hoodoos, and some waterfalls. It was nice to get a variety of vistas from each hike.
The trip through Oregon was fabulous. I highly recommend it.
But I know you are here for the food. You see, we stocked up a bit with food from Portland. I wasn't sure what lurked in the smaller towns. Turns out we lucked out in Bend, Oregon. We found a local brew pub (Rob's mission was to try out local brews) that served vegan eats. I changed the tempeh reuben sandwich into a salad and I was blown away. It was really good. I haven't had enough time to recreate the entire salad (now on my bucket list) but I started with making a raw thousand island dressing.
Originating from the Thousand Islands region (hola Ontario!), thousand island dressing is probably one of the most ubiquitous North American creamy sauces, as a mayonnaise dressing spiced with tomato/ketchup but may also have bits of pickle, olives, etc.
The creaminess of my raw version of dressing is from cashews. The deep tomato flavour comes from sun-dried tomatoes. Garlic and onion add further ripples, while the vinegar brightens the dressing. The acidic dill pickle brings this up a notch. The only trick is that the cashews need to be soaked a few hours for easier blending.
For my salad, I just used up the random vegetables in my fridge. I first wilted the kale with lemon juice and then tossed in cucumber, red pepper, olives and hemp seeds. I am not sure they were the perfect combination (and not the prettiest salad, either) but the dressing was perfect. Now I know where to start with my own tempeh reuben salad. :)
In any case, this vacation has spurred my love of Oregon. I am even more excited to try to schedule in Cycle Oregon next year!

Peach & Hazelnut Kale Salad with Maple Miso Vinaigrette
After so many people recommended Meetup a few weeks ago, I have really been making an effort to get out and meet new people and experience new things. I like the Houston meetups so far because they don't fill up so fast. I often tried to sign up for Toronto meetups but they would fill up before I knew whether I could commit to the event. Houston also has quite a variety of groups. Since there are so many groups, it has become interesting to see which of my "interests" has people with which I click the most.
My blog is mostly about healthy vegan food, so I picked a raw vegan potluck as my first foray into social gathering.
The meeting was tucked at the top of Central Market, with a pretty view of the colourful aisles of groceries. However, the most beautiful produce was upstairs, in our room. The spread of delicious food was incredible. Foodie heaven! Lots and lots of salads. Some were more simple and others more elaborate. A lot of classic raw dishes, too: raw zucchini spaghetti with marinara, raw walnut tacos, guacamole and lots of delicious raw crackers. Zucchini pesto roll-ups were unique (and very good). I honestly thought there would be more desserts, but the two that were there were incredible: raw peach cobbler and superfood nut butter cups (I recognized Sarah's recipe).
I had master plans to bring Genevieve's raw tropical jicama nachos but when I went to assemble the dish after work, my pineapple was not ripe enough and my peaches were screaming: eat me NOW! So, at the last minute, I ended up making this salad. It passed the taste-test with flying colours, and off I ran.
As we each introduced the meal we brought, I felt a bit sheepish because I ended up picking a dressing with maple syrup, which is technically not raw. This is not a problem for me, and I think most people still tried it because there wasn't much left by the end of the night. In any case, I thought it was delicious. I usually eat my kale salads with a citrus dressing, but the maple-miso dressing worked really well with the sweet peaches, earthy kale and crunchy hazelnuts. It would be perfect for picnics, too.

Hempy Peach Salad with a Creamy Balsamic Hummus Dressing
Going to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches… Millions of peaches, peaches for me. {sing along here}
I swear, I wasn't planning to share so many salads.
But to combat salad ennuis, I kept mixing up new dressings. I didn't think it would be so spectacular, but I loved it. And then snapped away some quickie photos for you to enjoy the sights of my salad, too.
Fresh, flavourful ingredients are important for a salad; but like pasta is to sauce, salad can be a vector for dressing.
A simple go-to dressing. With hummus on hand, this is so easy to put together. Hummus, balsamic and mustard. I always taste-test the dressing, but this one was hard to read. As I said, I didn't really think I'd like it; it seemed too tart. Drizzled next to the sweet peaches, though, it all balanced out.
And to finish off my meal? Carrots with the hummus that didn't make it into the dressing. ;)
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and this month's No Croutons Required for seasonal.
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.

The Aquitaine region
The renowned Bordeaux wine region extends to 1 000 square kilometres and is the largest in the world. With excellent, quiet roads meandering their way through rolling countryside, the house is an ideal base for exploring ancient towns, chateaux and vineyards without the tourists and traffic of the ubiquitous Dordogne region. Wine tasting opportunities abound including St Emilion, Pomerol, Sauternes, Graves and Margaux.
Over 2 200 hours of sunshine a year make the Bordeaux area similar to the Mediterranean. Rain does of course fall on occasion which creates the green floral environment so attractive of the area.
The location of south west France allows ready access to Spain and the Pyrenees within a few short hours by car.
Skiing for a day is now possible with the opening of the new A64-takes 2 1/2 hours to get to La Mongie resort in Pyrenees.
Situated in the Entre Deux Mers wine region of the Gironde (department 33, also known as Aquitaine), the sleepy village of St Vivien de Monsegur sits in rolling hills approximately 40 miles south east of Bordeaux. The fertile landscape of the area is widely acknowledged as being the prettiest of the region with vineyards interspersed with pasture, orchards and woodland across rolling hills topped with sun soaked medieval villages.
The village and house itself are at the top of a valley and both share a beautiful vista across a small stream to the valley floor with sunflower fields, woods and vineyards beyond.
Within a short stroll you will find a small supermarket, bar, restaurant and ancient church.
Golf, fishing, cycling, walking, swimming, boating, bird watching, horse riding and tennis are all available

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 12/27/12
Matthew Slater is humbled by his second straight Pro Bowl selection. Just don't send him an airplane ticket to the game in Honolulu a week before the Super Bowl. One day after being chosen for the Pro Bowl, the New England Patriots' special teams captain said Thursday he'd rather be eating gumbo in New Orleans than pineapple in Hawaii. The championship game is scheduled for Feb. 3 in New Orleans. Slater would rather be preparing for that than playing in the Pro Bowl. The Patriots (11-4) have clinched the AFC East title and can finish in any of the top four spots in the conference seedings. They end the regular season Sunday at home against the Miami Dolphins (7-8). --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

Epigenetic "restructuring" by siRNA
The CSHL researchers find that transposons that have lost heterochromatic marks are no longer associated with siRNA that are 24 nucleotides, or RNA "letters," in length. Rather, these re-activated transposons become associated with siRNAs that are 21nucleotides in length. In contrast, the transposons that retain their original heterochromatic marks and therefore remain silent continue to stay associated with 24-nucleotide siRNAs.
The team's eventual goal is to understand the mechanism responsible for the creation of epialleles epigenetic variations in gene expression patterns that stem from the creation of particular chromatin states. These predispose particular genes to become active when they shouldn't be and shut off the activity of genes that are essential. The team's epigenetic profiling study now implicates siRNA-driven heterochromatin restructuring as a mechanism that might lead to epiallele formation.

J Mascis (/ˈmæskɪs/ MASS-kiss; born Joseph Donald Mascis, Jr. on December 10, 1965) is an American musician. The singer, guitarist,and songwriter for Dinosaur Jr., he also has a solo career and is particularly notable as a guitarist: he was ranked number 86 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time", and in 2012 was also ranked 5th in Spin's list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
Mascis was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, the son of a dentist. His family name is Italian, from the province of Foggia, in the region of Apulia in the south of Italy.[1] His mother was an avid golfer.[2]
Mascis formed the short-lived hardcore group Deep Wound with Lou Barlow, Scott Helland, and Charlie Nakajima in the early 1980s.[3] He started out on drums,[4] but moved to guitar when he went on to found Dinosaur Jr. with bassist Barlow and drummer Emmett Jefferson "Patrick" Murphy (aka "Murph") in 1984 and achieved national success. His vocals have been described as "Neil Young-like"[5] and his guitar riffs as "monolithic." Mascis dismissed Barlow from Dinosaur Jr. in 1989 and over the next eight years recorded several more Dinosaur Jr. albums, including the 1996 acoustic solo album Martin + Me.
The manager for Deep Wound was Gerard Cosloy, who then went on to found Homestead Records. Homestead released Dinosaur Jr.'s first record. Mascis says that the reason why Dinosaur Jr.'s sound is not fully formed on that record is that they were more or less automatically signed to Homestead.[6]
As a side project, he was the drummer in Boston doom metal group Upsidedown Cross, who released a self-titled album on Taang! Records in 1991.[7][8] He wrote songs for the film Gas, Food, Lodging, in which he made a cameo appearance.[7][8] In 1996, he had a small part in the movie Grace of my Heart and provided a ballad and a Beach Boys-like song for the soundtrack. In 2000 he began producing albums with his new band, J Mascis + The Fog.
In April 2005 Mascis, Barlow, and Murph rejoined for a tour celebrating the re-release of the group's first three albums. They have since released three new albums: Beyond (released in 2007), Farm (released in 2009), and I Bet on Sky (released on September 17, 2012).
In August 2005 Mascis released J and Friends Sing and Chant For Amma, a solo album under the J Mascis and Friends banner. The album consists of devotional songs dedicated to Hindu religious leader Mata Amritanandamayi, or Ammachi, about whom he had written "Ammaring" on the first J Mascis + The Fog album More Light. The proceeds from the album are being donated to tsunami relief efforts Ammachi's organization is spearheading.
In 2006 Mascis returned to drumming with his newly formed heavy metal band Witch for their self-titled debut album.
His wife Luisa is from Berlin, Germany. They reside in Amherst, Massachusetts, and in September 2007 they had a baby boy named Rory. His brother-in-law is German filmmaker Philipp Virus, director of the 2006 Dinosaur Jr. DVD Live in the Middle East. Virus is also known for his work on the music videos of Atari Teenage Riot, who used a sample of Sludgefeast for their song "Riot 1995".
July 2007 saw the release of a signature guitar by Fender, the J Mascis Signature Jazzmaster. The instrument comes in a Purple Sparkle finish and, while otherwise visually similar to a standard Jazzmaster, features a few modifications J requested. The J Mascis Jazzmaster features a basswood body, C-shaped maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 21 jumbo frets, two single-coil Jazzmaster pickups with three-position switching and dual tone circuits, gold anodized aluminum pickguard, aged white plastic parts (knobs, switch tip, pickup covers), Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece, vintage-style tuners, chrome hardware, Vintage White finish and J Mascis signature on the back of the large '60s-style headstock.
In 2010 Mascis joined with John Petkovic and Tim Parnin of Cobra Verde and Dave Sweetapple of Witch to form Sweet Apple. The self-titled debut album was released on Tee Pee Records.[9] Mascis plays drums, guitar, and sings on the album.
Mascis released a mostly acoustic album in March 2011 titled Several Shades of Why on Sub Pop Records.[10] He was joined in the studio by several guest musicians, including Kurt Vile and Sophie Trudeau. Mascis toured the US with Vile as support act to promote the album.[11] Mascis's electric guitar work is featured on the 2014 Strand of Oaks album 'Heal.'[12]
Richard Ayoade cast J Mascis in a small role, a caretaker, in his The Double (2013 film).
On 4/10/2014 He played with reunited Nirvana on a secret gig after the Rock and roll hall of fame interventions. He sang the songs School, Pennyroyal Tea and Drain You.
His long-term guru is Mata Amritanandamayi.[13]
