Delicious. Just a tad too ketchupy.
This is such a great recipe and everyone in my family has loved it. That being said, it is a little sweet and ketchupy in my opinion. My brother liked that about it and was basically drinking the sauce.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
Region: California
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas – the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley – Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
Country: United States
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Appellation: Napa Valley
There are few places on earth quite as ideal for viticulture and wine production as California's Napa Valley, a place which is now considered something of a spiritual home for the American wine industry. For generations now, Napa Valley has consistently produced the finest wines to come out of the United States, and has used its ideal climate and terroir to coax the very finest flavors and aromas from a wide range of grape varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel, amongst many others. Shielded from the oceanic climate by mountain ranges, the Napa Valley provides plenty of sunshine, heat and little rainfall in which grapes can grow and ripen fully, and express plenty of their superb terroir, much to the delight of New World wine drinkers across the globe.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - R.A. Dickey spun 7 1/3 scoreless innings Sunday as the New York Mets took a 2-0 victory over the San Diego Padres in the finale of a four-game set at Citi Field.
Dickey (7-1) surrendered just three hits and a walk while striking out 10 to earn his fifth straight victory. After fanning 11 in his last outing, Dickey posted back-to-back double-digit strikeouts for the first time in his career and became the first Met to accomplish the feat since Pedro Martinez in 2006.
"The game is about ebbs and flows and right now, I'm fortunate to be in the middle of a flow," remarked Dickey. "The key is just don't get out of the water, regardless of where you are."
Daniel Murphy stroked an RBI single while David Wright and Mike Baxter each scored a run for the Mets, who took the final three games of the series and have now won five of their last six.
Edinson Volquez (2-5) labored through 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while fanning five. Yonder Alonso extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single in the first, but the Padres failed to score for the second straight game and lost for the sixth time in seven tries.
Alonso ripped a two-out single in the first, but was gunned down trying to stretch it into a double by right fielder Lucas Duda.
The Mets then took advantage of their opportunity in the bottom half.
Wright worked a two-out walk and swiped second to move into scoring position. Duda then walked and Wright scampered to third on Volquez's wild pitch before scoring on Murphy's single to center as the Mets grabbed a 1-0 advantage.
"I was a little bit all over in the first inning," Volquez said. "Then I fixed my mechanics and came back and pitched better."
New York tacked on a run in the fifth when Baxter doubled to start the frame, moved to third on a wild pitch and then scored on a passed ball by Nick Hundley to give the Mets a 2-0 lead.
Tim Byrdak replaced Dickey in the eighth and retired the final two batters of the frame before Frank Francisco fired a perfect ninth to nail down his 13th save of the season and complete the Mets second-consecutive shutout.
The Padres have now gone 26 consecutive innings without scoring a run...The Mets last back-to-back shutouts came on May 18-19, 2011 when they blanked the Washington Nationals on consecutive nights...New York has scored in the first or second inning in nine of its last 10 games.

Jason Davis: Where's the bunny come from anyway?
Ah, Easter.
It's a beautiful holiday, celebrating the greatest gift our God could give — eternal life, through the sacrifice and resurrection of his son, Jesus.
As thousands of us across Sevier County attend church this morning to acknowledge and celebrate that gift, we'll carry on a tradition that Christians, like us, have been remembering regularly since the second century, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. And it's an event that will likely be celebrated for the next 2,000 years, God willing.
Over those centuries since Christ's death and resurrection, we Christians have come up with some strange ways to commemorate the day, and I thought I'd explore some of those in this space today.
Remember those Easter eggs we all dyed as a kid?
Huddled over a coffee cup or bowl of colored vinegar-water we'd wait impatiently as our boiled eggs received their dose of green, blue, yellow or red. If you were anything like me, there were usually one or two eggs that came out some odd shade of gray, thanks to a bath in each of the available colors.
Well, it turns out, those eggs actually could have a theological meaning related to the Easter celebration.
The earliest attempted explanation for colored eggs' religious meaning I could find was a late 1800s reference in a monthly publication, "The Guardian," put out by The Reformed Church Publication Board and editoed by Rev. B. Bausman.
"Just so, on that first Easter morning, Jesus came to life and walked out of the tomb, and left it, as it were, an empty shell," the book stated back in 1878. "Just so, too, when the Christian dies, the body is left in the grave, an empty shell, but the soul takes wings and flies away to be with God. Thus you see that though an egg seems to be as dead as a stone, yet it really has life in it; and also it is like Christ's dead body, which was raised to life again. This is the reason we use eggs on Easter."
Never thought of that, huh? Me either.
Honestly, from all I've read, it seems that explanation is a handy concoction to give an Christ-themed meaning to the eggs delivered by the Easter Bunny, another tradition that's gone back hundreds of years.
And where, exactly, does this human-sized, walking rabbit that delivers a basket full of sugary goodness on Easter morning come from?
Well, it doesn't appear to be a Christ-centered tradition either, though I could be wrong.
Most of what I've found indicates that, like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny was a German creation used mainly to encourage kids to be good around a big holiday.
Dozens of Internet sources attribute the Easter Bunny's origins to German Lutheran's Easter Hare in the 1600s, which — like Santa — judged good girls and boys and brought treats to those that had behaved.
Being the father of a 4-year-old, that explanation is totally plausible.
Even before I'd read that possible origin, I myself had used the standard Easter basket threat to calm my rowdy boy before bedtime. After all, what kid can resist a Cadbury Egg?
Speaking of eating, perhaps my favorite Easter tradition is the feast that typically follows the morning service.
With Lent coming to an end, it's only natural folks would want to dive in to a large spread of home-cooked food. In the eastern churches, it's even known as the "Feast of Feasts."
I can vividly remember Easter dinners at my grandmother's house in the early 1980s. Typically there'd be a ham or large beef roast, green beans, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, fried sweet potatoes, cream-style corn and a multitude of other southern dishes.
Just thinking about those sweet potatoes — buttery, sweet and just starting to get crispy — makes my mouth water.
After that there was, of course, dessert. There would be pies — and plenty of them. Usually there'd be made-from-scratch chocolate, lemon icebox and my favorite, coconut cream, with a huge mound of meringue. Yum.
In the end, Easter is the most sacred of Holy days in the Christian church. It's a wonderful day to celebrate the life we've been given and the promise of the life to come.
No matter what traditions your family keeps, make today a memorable day with them, together, as I will with mine.

****ty DVD Picture Please Help
Does anyone know how to get the picture quality better on DVD's on the computer. My picture is grainy and dark. The following software i use is Power DVD 6, VLC Media Player and Media Player Classic(CCCP). My picture sucks and i was wondering if there is a way to improve it. Thanks
Re: ****ty DVD Picture Please Help
Many DVDs are poor quality to begin with.. In that case I don't think there is very much you can do. You could try ffdshow to process effects on the raw video, or maybe a better decoder (Purevideo perhaps), but that's about it.

There are many contenders for the crown of the best coffee bean... This article takes you through a brief overview of some of the possibilities for the best coffee bean, but I do leave it up to you to decide!
However, if you have tried Arabica Coffee Beans, you'll know that they generally produce a smoother, lower caffeine, lower body, and (perhaps) a more refreshing coffee with more delicate flavors.
But its Robusta Coffee beans cousin has a higher coffee caffeine content, more pronounced 'boldness', and a better price. Some blends, such as the Brazilian coffee or Espresso even dare to mix the two beans.
If you are buying ground coffee, you'll find many choices of roast, bean type, organic and even Fair Trade that may qualify for 'best coffee bean'. But you'll need to take care of the ground coffee so that you can preserve the most flavor in your cup. Some general tips include
Do try different flavors of coffee, types of beans, and grades of roast as you experiment to find what flavors suit you!
Of course, I much prefer to buy decent whole coffee beans and well-known coffee brands, and spend the time grinding them myself. This delivers a more satisfying flavor and much fresher, too. After all, that's what this site is all about!
If you are grinding, remember
Once you've experimented with different coffee products, beans, roasts, and grinds, you'll find that the days of the instant coffee jar are long gone! And all for the best, wouldn't you say?
But your quest for the best coffee bean may not be over yet? Have you considered these...?
Is it single origin or multi-origin? What's the difference? Well, in short, single origin beans will come from a single locality and be mixed with other beans from the nearby farms.
Though the definition can be flexible because it could refer to a single farm, region or even country, the flavor of single origin coffee tends to be more defined and distinctive than the more multi-origin or 'generic' mixes.
For example, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe or Guatemala Fuego would be regional single-origin beans.
Multi-origin coffee is the latest buzz word for blends, though the choice of individual blends may be more carefully done than the larger brands would choose. Multi-origin coffee may even come from different continents as beans are matched for their qualities to produce a more balanced drink.
French Roast, for example, often incorporates beans from several origins, but since the roast is very dark, the flavor of the beans can be overpowered by the roasting flavors.
Good multi-origin coffee brands will detail the individual beans as well as why they complement each other. Look for hints on the packets labels or ingredients labels to find out the beans' origins.
It's really difficult to say whether you'll get the best coffee bean by buying single-origin beans. In fact, many popular choices for coffee incorporate other beans to balance, add flavors, or tone down unpleasant overtones. A good coffee roasting company will be able to blend much more favorable mixes of coffee beans, so I'd encourage you to try both of these!
Nowadays, many coffee drinkers put considerable effort into buying what are known as organic Fair Trade Coffee brands, as their attempt to find the best coffee bean. The concept is that by buying Fair Trade Beans, you will end up putting more money into the hands of the farmers than via conventional free trade. It's an attractive idea to know that the coffee your sipping has not only made a great drink, but that you have done your part to improve the lot of coffee growers!
Though wrapped up in issues of social justice, the results of the first Fair Trade coffees were less than spectacular as the coffees that were initially sold in European countries just did not match the regular quality standards, both in terms of packaging and product quality.
This may have been the result of the inexperience of organizations, like Oxfam, in procuring, preparing and selling coffee-related products. (Personally, I wanted to like Fair Trade Coffee in the 90's… but couldn't.)
In 2000's many well-known coffee companies in Europe started to purchase and sell much higher quality Fair Trade Coffees. With higher quality blending and roasting, these brands have found far greater acceptance in the marketplace. The quality problems, even for me, have been solved to the benefit of Fair Trade Farmers everywhere.
Coffee purists often reckon the best coffee bean is, in fact, organic. While the definition of organic isn't precisely defined in law, some organic farming associations emphasize organic farming techniques, standards and abstinence from artificial pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.
Brands of Fair Trade coffees are often (but not always) organic beans, so check that category when you're shopping. In 2006, the organic crop was estimated at 1% of the full coffee crop. You'll likely find prices higher, and you may not always find a wide selection of beans that are organic. But ask if you don't see what you want.
Still no luck? Then see some of the best whole coffee beans available, ask around, check out some gourmet coffee clubs for advice, and keep looking! And don't despair, we'll help to guide you away from some of the worse mistakes, or at least we'll try!

JPMorgan M&A Email Raises Questions
(AMR) to avoid penalty even after its chief executive was recorded openly proposing to a competitor that they both lower their prices simultaneously. The JPMorgan e-mail does not appear to prove an anti-competitive agreement existed between the two banks, Ayres says. The Federal Trade Commission has argued it has broader powers under Section Five of the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits "unfair methods of competition," according to William Page, a senior associate dean at University of Florida's law school who has written two books on anti-trust issues involving Microsoft (MSFT).Page would not say whether he thought the e-mail described illegal activity, or warranted further investigation, saying only that he found it "interesting." "The fact that you have the heads of these two banks talking directly: whenever you have that kind of direct communication there's going to be some question about what it is they're actually discussing," Page says. In addition to the banks mentioned above, the e-mail describes both bank chiefs as interested in buying Citigroup's (C - Get Report) Banamex unit. Santander confirmed it tried to buy Banamex but was told it was not for sale. Dimon also advises Santander to "take a good look," at Citigroup's U.S. consumer finance business, a business Dimon likes but says "does not fit in any one of JPMorgan's key divisions."However, Ayres notes what he sees as a weakness in the U.S. Sherman Antitrust Act, which is that it is only violated if an actual anti-competitive agreement is put in place. That loophole famously allowed American Airlines

Great food
Very famous place, considered the original bhagat tarachand and always bustling with crowds. Went here with 3 friends from college and ordered a whole buffet! Lassi and Papad churi for beginners were amazing, first time I had churi and it was brilliant. Then we ordered Paneer tikka masala, Panner Butter Masala , Boondi raita, Butter Naan and Chaas which came in this big bottle filled to the brim! We ate like we were at some marriage, the food was so delicious and dripping with butter which we loved. Typical Punjabi flavours and taste. Service was very fast and per head cost was just about 250-300 for us!

Fantastic Veg Food
After a tiring shopping, one can just hog here to heart's content without thinking of the pocket. The variety is awesome.
You get your order fast enough. You are served on steel plates and chass comes in beer bottles. It often is not enough. Try their tadka daal it was awesome. paneer was not that soft enough though.
Their parathas are very good too. Good quantity of food. Most often there is a waiting at the restaurant.
We have visited this place many times and will continue to visit.

punjabi and sindhi food
in a crowded south mumbai biz area, this got to rejuvenate you; for sure.
avoid starters as they are neither too tasty neither well prepared. The only starter worthwhile is the papad churi or khichiya churi which is a papad based mixture with some chilly powder, butter,etc.
Go for the stuff paratha, butter roti, paneer masala, daal tadka and jeera rice. If you like the ghar ka khana types, try sev tamatar, aloo methi, etc which is slightly less buttery and still as tasty
Their gobi stuff paratha is awesome and on the side, select butter milk.
Deserts are ok and may be skipped
mostly good for quick nice quality meal and if you do go late, you might have to wait for sometime for sure ranging from 20 mtns to 45 mtns

!!!!!Marwari Food!!!!!!
One should definitely visit this place if you love authentic Marwari food. Right from daal bati to khichiya papad or churi, they have it all. You name it and they have it. The price is a bit on the higher side but for the taste of the food its a definite go go!!. The thing which is of worry is the waiting time to get into the restaurants in the weekend.

Awesome food
This is the total vegetarian place where you cannot miss the food at all... U will relish every dish over here. Amazing dal Makhni, Chapati with butter, Chaas, Aaloo gobhi everyone should try over here. whenever i think of Indian food i straight away go over here and enjoy.

Not upto the hype
I was at Zaveri Bazaar with my office mates and we decided to eat lunch here after hearing a lot about it. Personally, i feel it is overhyped and theres nothing great in the food except that they put a lot of butter in their food which some people find appealing since it adds to the vasool factor. Vegetables were ladden with butter and missed the mark. It was very average and disappointing after hearing all the hype

One of the best for indian food in South Mumbai
The original restaurant is over 100 years old. This vegetarian restaurant is a food landmark. The dal fry, aloo fry, makai/jowar rotis and the beer bottles of buttermilk are all time favourites. Since the flavour is predominantly Sindhi, oil, spice, garlic, onion and attendant calories await you. Quintessential Sindhi dishes do not find mention such as sai bhaji and Sindhi kadi. Bhagat Tarachand with its cheap rates, substantial meal portions, prompt service, ample variety and distinct flavors offers you a memorable experience.

Best Vegetarian Food Ever
Being a hardcore non-vegetarian, this place was a refreshing change. Normally i do not prefer Veg food, but Bhagat Tarachand is the only exception.
The Palak Sabzi with Papad Churi and their Masala Chaas is to die food.
Be sure to save some space for desserts, the Gulab Jamun and Rabri are a must have.

Less on Ambience, High on quality
It's like a treasure which is hidden on the map of Kalbadevi. Located amidst the hustling and bustling area of lanes and bylanes stands a restaurant proud and people know it as Bhagat Tarachand. Even its founder would not have imagined, that one day their restaurant would become a landamrk for the lost and the address for the hungry soul.
Once you spot this heaven and adjust to its surrounding, yes adjust, because finding a comfortable place is a luxury out here; you will enjoy what they have to offer. Honestly, the food here is not out of the world, the Michelin star kind of, but something in their food brings you back here. To start with, call for the Butter Phulka with any of their Sabzis and you will not regret it a bit. If you are the health conscious types, dont even think of calling anything Butter type, because they dont spread it, but just put a huge chunk of butter on it. Moving on, order their Steam rice with Dal Tadka and you will be oblivious to everything then. To finish the hearty meal, just wash it down with their trademark Chaas and it will just make your day.
For all the hygienic, cutlery specific people, this is not your playground. It is home to the humble population who run their life in a hurry and want to have a hearty meal to continue their day with vigour.

Awesome Food, Great service
I went there with a bunch of my friends after having heard a lot about their food. Needless to say, I was not at disappointed. The food was great. If you are fan of really tasty food, you should visit this place. Amazing homelike food. The service was prompt and the staffs were really nice, something not observed in low end restaurants. Especially recommended for students who are low on budget and want to enjoy a tasty food. definitely worth a visit.

heaven for veggies!!
Before landing up here never heard of... visited NCPA for a play with a friend, it was his suggestion.... as i am not very much of a fine dine person... food is more important hence we thought of giving it a try...but i must say it was worth it.
The best part is they serve butter milk in beer bottle which on one hand is not a big deal but on the other hand it adds on to entire raw feel of it.
Service can never be faster and smoother....lovely..awesome!!
Its an absolute heaven for vegetarians and not at a place if you are very much concerned about fat contain in your food :)
If you really wanna get into it...just let it go and enjoy the core food!!
January 13,2012
veg rocks!!

Yummy Food
I have been to Zaveri Bazaar Branch, considered to be the oldest branch. No 1 can forgot the taste u find it over here. Well I had Dal-Batti which reminds me of my native place where we use to have the same dish specially prepared by Granny.
They give you Butter Milk in Beer Bottles, that really have enticed me to visit this place again. Well, we had Moong da Halwa at the end, no words to describe it except Yummmm......
One must visit this place, if want to enjoy delicacies they prepare.....

Brunch at B Bhagat Tarachand
Going by the reviews, we went to the one which goes up the staircase.. :)
Our order was as follows:
Alu paratha, gobi paratha, chaas, gajar halwa.
The best thing about the parathas is that it is not fried :) alu paratha with butter and masala chaas rules anytime !!
Gajar halwa with garam garam desi ghee and dry fruits went very well with the parathas :)
January 23,2011
G Bhagat Tarachand on 22-01-2011
Our Menu was as under:
Special Tarachand thali - 160
Paneer Mutter, Dal Fry, Alu Methi or Channa Masala,Roti dipped in Ghee,Plain rice,Raita,Gulab jamun,Papad,chaas - buttermilk.
The Dal Fry and Chaas are the highlights of G bhagat Tarachand. Both were excellent. I have heard Moong Halwa is also excellent although we did not try the same. There are many Bhagat Tarachand in Zaveri Bazaar starting with initials B, T, K but G Bhagat Tarachand is the oldest. You can identify this with the staircase to the upper A/c rooms starting directly from the entrance/ road of the hotel. The cleanliness and ambience is okay. Food and service is good. The roti was dipped in original Ghee. The Dal was also fried in original Ghee. You can come to know this by the fragrance of the same. The cost of thali is Rs. 160 per person which is cheap.

will the real bhagat tarachand please stand up
I have been to different bhagat tarachand's at zaveri bazaar and have been to goregoan one as well......the one next to jalebiwala at zaveri bazaar is the original bhagat tarachand.....food is rich in ghee not for the faint hearted and soo its obviously tasty ....all vegetarian stuff....very tasty recommended with a bottle of chaas .....and dont forget to finish it off with moong halwa ..its very very delicious......its gotten heavy on the pocket over the years as their quantity is less....you can try any bhagat tarachand at zaveri bazaar they r all good infact better than the original as they r lot cheaper....soo if ur looking for some rich vegetarian food u can head to any of the bhagat tarachand and enjoy

Total VFM
I visit this place once in a month everytime i am satisfied with there quality & service.
For starters papad churi is a must along with the hara bhara kabab.
For the main course you can have and variety of paneer or their regular vegetables.
For the divine feeling have the double dal tadka along with the steam rice with papad churi sprinkled on the top.
Althought they dont have much options in sweets their lassi is decent.
Bhagat Tarachand Multiple restraunts in proximity
We wanted to have dal bati so we were told to goto this place. The taxi driver dropped us at one of the Tarachands. It was a normal veg restraunt with awesome food. After the lunch we asked about dal bati and were told that it was different restraunt closeby. We were surprised to find 4 Tarachands on the same lane. So be careful which ever u goto. Whatever we had was awesome.
October 02,2010
Tried it out this Afternoon, It was soo awesome.. Full on Paisa Vasool.. The best Part is, one can select which all curry / dish / sabji etc one wants in his/her Thali : )
There are about 4-5 different Bhagat Tarachand in that area all of them are run by the same family.
I VISITED THE "K" WALA BHAGAT TARACHAND RESTAURANT at Sheikh Memon Street, The one next to Jewel India Ka showroom : )

Bhagat's Restaurant on Mum-Nashik Highway - Grrrrr
Less said the better. That's my comment after I took my wife and son to Bhagat Tarachand restaurant on Mumbai-Nashik Highway (about 50 kms from Mumbai).
The food - we ordered dal fry and the butter that was added was over-burnt and giving a nauseating smell to dal. Karela Pyaaza was good. Missi Rotis were good.
BEWARE: Food Plates were not cleaned properly. We had to rub the oil using the tissue papers. There were strings of hair in the bowls provided for dal. When pointed out, the waiter just casually changed it. No regrets but a "what's there in it" atttitude. The glasses given to us and our neighbouring table had marks of oil and Miranda (the earlier customer probably used that glass for, probably).
The restaurant has introduced an Air-conditioned room and you will find people who are being forcibly "encouraged" to use the A/c facility. You will find that you have paid more but find that A/C is scarce.
OVerall, the experience in terms of food was good, but on hygiene this highway restaurant is a pig's den - lot is desired for those who care for hygiene.
Highway to Heaven!
Lip-smacking,Delicious,Amazing,Delightful, Fabulous. Okay I'd use all the adjectives to describe the food here. It's definitely vegetarian, but what the heck,it beats the non-veg dishes too. It's soooo sinful,be it the parathas,pulav,paneer anything. I loved every bit of what i ate here. Absolutely everything they offer here is brilliant,so go ahead and choose any of the Bhagat Tarachands,it's gonna be one heck of your dining experience. The service is super quick and attentive too, Absolutely Recommended!

One word - Delicious !
To start with I had heard loads about this place. They had a branch in Goregaon sometime back, but then the management was changed and the food quality took a nose dive.
I would have to add that, there were two other Bhagat Tarachand on either side of this one, but both were close so I assume this is one which is famous for. I am forgetting the letters which are attached to each Bhagat Tarachand though.
I was in the vicinity of the area and being close to starving and lunch time, I decided to visit this much talked about place.
Firstly go for this place for just the food. It has 3 sections, 1 non-ac and 2 small ac ones. The ambiance might even deter you to find some other place. But trust me, try their food. I visited on a Sunday afternoon around 2 and the place was jam packed. We were 3 and were told it will take at-least 30 min to find a table. It took around 45, but we would have gotten a table in the non-ac section earlier, which we didn't wanted to take considering we were standing outside in the sun for 30 mins already.
We started with papad which they served with chutney. Papad was as expected good, even the chutney was very good.
Along side we also ordered 1 Chaas (Buttermilk) Bottle and coming from the heat it was just divine. Many place we get watery butter milk, but here it not very watery and not very thick. Again just the way it should be.
Then came the Paneer Tikka which was fantastic. Very rarely I have eaten such nice Paneer Tikkas. It was just perfect. Paneer was soft and grilled just the right amount.
Main Course we had -
Malai Methi Mutter
Deewane Handi
Butter Naan
Masala Kulcha
Everything was lip-smacking ! It was so fresh, it made we remind of the kind of food you get in road side dhabas. Both the vegetables were extremely well made and delicious.
Naan and Kulcha was crisp but not burnt !
Dal-baati came in huge serving and it was how it should be.
We concluded our meal with a dessert of Dal Sheera(halwa). It was nice, less sweet, but for me a little bit of extra ghee was in there. But actually thats the way Dal Sheera is made. So its more of subjective taste.
The service is super fast and friendly.
Overall the tab came to around rs. 680....definitely expensive for the location and the ambience....but the food is good. So I would leave that to individual choice too.
The only reason I am not giving it 5 star is because of the location(and ambience) and because its too far from my place in Malad. Going here on weekdays only for eating is a very bad idea as this place is right in the heart of Zaveri Bazaar which is packed with millions during weekdays. Even on Sunday, finding a parking nearby will be tough.
I really doubt I will visit this one again, not because its not good, but because going there just for food is a somewhat not practical. I really hope they open another branch in the suburbs !
If you are in Zaveri Bazaar...this place has to be savored !
Satisfying Experience...
As i had visited alone thought of ordering a thali. TO be honest I was not sure about the stuff looking at the ambience. But once the food was served, it was a mouth watering experience. Till date never had such rotis outside home. Even subzis were good as if they were home made. I ended my lunch with chaas which was awesome.
Service is quick. Only thing which i didnt like was the sitting. But one should not mind it considering the food.
June 25,2009
Would like to thank mr karve for the directions...though wouldn't recommend taking the car on a weekday.
The waiting line in the R and G bhagats was long so ended up in the family hall(recommended for cooler atmosphere)Landed up on a sunday afternoon and for the lack of imagination ordered the deluxe thalis. Service in the family hall wassuper efficient and courteous. food as described by many others was perfect!!! chapptis are soft..lassi and curd have thick malai toppings... would recommend a visit with sufficient apettite for hogging!!!Surprising tht the joint has fairly large clientele despite the locality and the price(considering it is a "galli joint")
March 29,2009
There are 5 restaurants with the same name in the Zaveri bazaar lane. However, am a disciple of R.Bhagat Tarachand.
The food is a mouth watering delight. Calorie conscious people please skip the Bhagat Tarachand series ;)
Simmering veggies and buttery rotis (they also serve kulchas,naans ,paranthas and chapatis) will turn you in a hog.
The rice and dal fry are too good. The papad churi and aloo fry can go down well as sidekicks. Also, the dal-baati(a traditional rajasthani fare) is relishing. Have one serving and you are done.
The ultimate goal is the Chhaas(buttermilk). You can order a glass for yourself if you are having a meal alone. However, they serve the chhaas to the gorging gangs in beer bottles.
This place is very reasonable and worth every penny.
God...I love India!! Muah!!!
January 25,2009
i was really Curious to visit this place ever since my friend was all in praises about Bhagat tarachand.
Well there are 5 Bhagat Tarachands on the same zavari bazar road, u have to know which one to choose.
we went to the tried one, settled quickly into a not so comfortable table, really curious to eat!
Chaas (butter milk) is served in a beer bottle and its AWESOME!!!
Must Have's : Papad Churi, Paneer Bhurji, Double Tadka Dal
after the meal, we were planning when to get back here!
Contemplating turning veggie...
On my wife's superlative feedback, I was tempted enough to brave the chaos of Zaveri Bazaar to come here. Several stops for directions later, we were in Bhagat Tarachand bang in the middle of lunch service. Be prepared to wait for a table - ours lasted about 20 mins. The food here, to put it mildly, is divine! The waiter advised us not to order the thali since the inclusions are fairly standard and instead to order a variety off the menu. We feasted on tomato sev, double tadka dal (superb!), bhindi gobi fry and handkerchief thin chapatis. And oh yes, the crushed papads Chaas is served in beer bottles. Statutory warning: Do not come here if you are on a diet! The food is cooked in desi ghee and there's no "fat-free" variant...thank God.
This place is no-frills, VFM and has great service. The staff were all ever-smiling, polite and very patient with first timers like us. A stuff-your-face-till-you-choke meal for two cost us only 200 bucks. I'm a fairly hardcore non-vegetarian but maybe if there were more restaurants like this, esp in the burbs, I'd consider switching loyalties. Do not skip this place if you are in the Zaveri Bazaar, Crawford Market area or visiting Mumbadevi Temple.

The Best Veg Food Ever!!!!!
Im a die hard chicken lover but like the ocaasional veg as well....We happened to enter this place quite by chance n had not even heard of it but the rumble of r stomachs was unstoppable.
I think it was teh best decision concerning food ever taken by us as this place - although in a very crowded area and very non descript - is an absolute topper.
our palak paneer was just right, the rotis were on par with my mums n the jeera rice was worth having plain.... the icing on the meal???? the yello dal tadka!!!!! plus dont u forget to try that paneer rdx (hehehe it does blow u out of ur mind by its taste) teh chilli corn and the various types of pararthas...
Also dnt forget to order the chaas with ur meal....Value for money would be an absoluet understatement....
Do go there and im sure teh food wont disappoint...

The Best Value For Money Vegetarian Food in Mumbai
If you are ravenously hungry on a busy afternoon in the heart Mumbai, head for Bhagat Tarachand. To get there, walk up Kalbadevi Road from Metro, turn right at the Cotton Exchange, and to your left you will see a series of eateries named Bhagat Tarachand. All are equally good and serve similar food, so you can sample them one by one on your numerous visits and decide which one you like. You can also walk up from Crawford Market, through Zaveri Bazar, past the Gold Exchange and Mumbadevi Temple; or from Bhendi Bazar via Pydhonie down Kalbadevi Road. In case you live in the suburbs, get down at Charni Road station, walk down Thakurdwar Road and turn right at Bhuleshwar and walk past the Cotton Exchange. Dont try to drive down youll go crazy negotiating your way and besides a brisk walk on a hot and humid Mumbai afternoon will build up a voracious appetite and rapacious thirst sine qua non for total enjoyment of a delicious nourishing meal.
The first thing to do is to order a beer bottle of chilled chaas (buttermilk) to quench your thirst and soothe your parched throat. On your first visit sample the delectable thali comprising varied vegetable dishes, dal and melt-in-the-mouth chappaties. Once you are hooked on, on subsequent visits you can experiment with the variety of rotis and vegetarian delights in Bhagat Tarachands culinary repertoire. Each and every dish the dal fry, paneer bhurji, methi malai mutter, bhindi, even baingan is superb. Both tastewise and pricewise, Bhagat Tarachand is unmatched its the best value for money vegetarian food in Mumbai.
Once you have relished your hearty meal, leisurely stroll down (digestive walk) past the Cotton Exchange and Panjrapole towards Bhuleshwar, turn right on VP Road towards CP Tank and soon you will reach Bhaishankar Gaurishankar which serves the most delicious lip-smacking rasgullas in Mumbai. As the luscious heavenly syrupy delight melts in your mouth you will experience such a fantastic blissful ecstasy that words cannot describe. A perfect ending to a perfect meal!

Hunger Lives Here. So Does Hope
"Hope" is one of the photos featured in a Camden, N.J. Witnesses to Hunger exhibit held at a local gallery on Sept. 19, 2013. Of the work, photographer and Witnesses advocate, Nia T writes, "'Hunger lives here and so does hope.' I like that saying. That's something. That's deep. It means that they're helping. They're helping the environment. They're helping the community." (Photo by Nia T/Witnesses to Hunger)
By Larry Hollar
It's never easy to get bad news like yesterday's House vote to cut nearly $40 billion from SNAP. But there's no place I would rather have been when that news broke than with the women of the Witnesses to Hunger project in Camden, N.J.
At an art gallery in downtown Camden that night, 10 mothers and grandmothers came together to tell their stories through photographs they took of their experiences with hunger, homelessness, lost jobs, and flawed approaches to public assistance. The signs of poverty are everywhere in Camden—in boarded-up houses, empty shells of businesses, depleted neighborhoods, and violence in the streets. But the stories these women told were ones of hope—that by having more capacity to speak out and witness to their realities, they believed they could influence our leaders to make better decisions that would help the children and families in Camden and throughout the nation.
Witnesses to Hunger is a participatory advocacy project of the Center for Hunger-Free Communities at Drexel University's School of Public Health. Started in 2008 in Philadelphia, it has fostered projects in Harrisburg and Scranton, Pa., Boston, Baltimore, and other East Coast cities. The Center partners with the real experts on hunger—the parents and caregivers of young children who have first-hand experience with hunger and poverty. The people of Witnesses to Hunger share their expertise and create change through their roles as photographers, educators and advocates, and advisers. The Camden project has been generously supported by the Campbell Soup Company.
I spoke in Camden to witnesses Christie and Kathy, who told me of their difficulties in making ends meet, even with a nearly full-time job, and what it's like to live in a shelter with your children after a fire destroys your home. I was struck by how many of the women, both from Camden and those present from other cities, felt a deep and empowering kinship with the other women who experience the complex struggle to overcome poverty.
One of the photographs on the wall, taken by Nia of the Camden Witnesses, was of a truck from the Food Bank of South Jersey with these words on its side: "Hunger Lives Here. So Does Hope." The vote Congress took yesterday to slash SNAP by $40 billion made it even more certain that hunger will continue to live in Camden. But as I spent that same moment with the women of Camden who are witnesses to what change can look like, it's clear to me that hope wins.
Action: View the photographs of the Camden and other Witnesses to Hunger projects at www.witnessestohunger.org. Tell your members of Congress that deep cuts to SNAP are unacceptable, and urge them to protect programs that support low-income people in our nation and world during upcoming budget debates.

'A Place at the Table' Gets a Mention on the House Floor
In February, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) started his series of End Hunger Now speeches on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. So far, he has covered everything from SNAP to the link between obesity and hunger. Today, in his fifth floor speech, McGovern talked about the documentary A Place at the Table.
"The truth is that hunger is solvable—we have the means, the infrastructure and the food to end hunger," he said. "We just don't have the political will to do so. This point is delivered in a clear, concise and emotional way in a documentary that is in theaters now. Called A Place at the Table, this film, at its core, may be a simple story of hunger in America, [but] it's really an emotional tale about how people are struggling with hunger in America. About piecing just enough together to make ends meet—day-by-day, week-by-week and month-by-month."
McGovern talked at length about the film's social action campaign, of which Bread for the World is a partner, and said it marks "the first time in recent memory that there is a dedicated effort to end hunger tied directly to a mainstream film that is nationally garnering critical acclaim."
"[I]'m pleased and impressed that a strong, coordinated social action plan accompanies the film. This comprehensive plan can be found online at www.takepart.com/table, and I encourage everyone to take a look at this website.
"Once there, people will be able to find important resources, including ways to access food assistance if they need help; an online gallery of artists, politicians, teachers, writers, and business and community leaders who once needed help through SNAP—the primary federal anti-hunger safety program; and a list of partners who are helping combat hunger through this film," McGovern continued. "Most importantly, it outlines ways that people can help make hunger a national priority now and it includes specific actions that people can take in their communities."Watch McGovern's full speech below. Check to see if A Place at the Table is showing at a theater in your area, or watch the film on iTunes or OnDemand. You can urge your members of Congress to make ending hunger a priority through the film's social action campaign or Bread for the World's 2013 Offering of Letters campaign.

Another Hunger Games Movie, Another Opportunity to Engage Young People
If you follows movie news, you've probably noticed that publicity for Catching Fire, the sequel to the 2012 film The Hunger Games, has begun in full force. Fans are chatting about the casting choices and movie posters and trading bits of gossip about the film, scheduled to be released later this year. If you know a young person who is excited about Catching Fire, you have an opening to talk to them about issues of hunger and poverty.
Around the time of the last film's release, Oxfam and Imagine Better launched the "Hunger is NOT a Game" campaign as a way to educate Hunger Games fans about international food justice and spur them to action. Whether there will be another large-scale social action campaign around Catching Fire remains to be seen, but the movie (and the book) offer an opportunity to introduce adolescents and teens to anti-hunger efforts. The books and the movies in the series all center around a young woman who leads an uprising against a system that has kept her people impoverished and starving for generations. The works fall under the umbrella of science fiction and fantasy, so there are special effects and outlandish costumes, and, yes, some violence, but the core message is about fighting injustice and challenging the status quo.
The trilogy's key messages are especially timely now, as people suffering from hunger and poverty are particularly vulnerable, thanks to the sequester and ongoing budget negotiations in Congress.
Catching Fire isn't out until later this year, but it's not too early to start a conversation about its themes. Consider reading the books yourself, or watching the first movie, and talking to an adolescent or teen about the poverty and hunger described in the trilogy (there are a ton of discussion guides about the books available online, most of which include questions about class, poverty, and hunger). For teens and older adolescents, consider showing them the documentary A Place at the Table as a way to explain that hunger isn't something faced by fictional young people in a faraway land, but a very real problem that may be affecting some of their friends and classmates. Consult Bread for the World's companion discussion guide "No Place at the Table" for help. If a kid is impressed by the efforts of The Hunger Games' protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, to take on the Capitol and fight for a world in which everyone has enough to eat, he or she should be excited by the real-life equivalent: help a young person write a letter to Congress to ask for adequate funding for programs that address hunger and help lift people out of poverty.

VIDEO: "A Place at the Table" Directors on "The Daily Show"
Jon Stewart isn't a man who is easily shocked, but on last night's episode of The Daily Show, the host seemed stunned to learn that 17 million children in American go to bed hungry each night.
Stewart talked about hunger with guests Lori Silverbush and Kristi Jacobson, the directors of A Place at the Table, which opens on March 1. Silverbush and Jacobson talked about their documentary, dispelled common myths surrounding food assistance in America, and spread the word that hunger in this country can be eradicated.
"This is really solveable," said Silverbush. "This is one of those issues of our time that we can fix, we know how."
The directors also urged the public to get involved in the fight to end hunger, and to engage their members of Congress through the film's social action campaign, which is cosponsored by Bread for the World.
"We've been talking to legislators about this for two years and they're saying 'Our phones aren't ringing, we're not getting texts, we're not tweets on this, once we do, we're gonna start to change how we vote,'" said Silverbush.
Check out the interview above.

Go to the Movies: See "A Place at the Table"
By Rev. David Beckmann
The national discussion around hunger is changing — and your work is driving that change!
More than 6,800 of you have signed our petition asking the president to set a goal and work with Congress to end hunger. During his State of the Union address, President Obama outlined his proposals to help people climb out of poverty. But the March 1 sequester threatens WIC and poverty-focused development assistance, which are not exempt from deep automatic cuts.
These events make the presidential petition more important. Thank you so much for your support. We still have much to do, but the next step is easy: go see a movie.
This Friday, March 1, the documentary A Place at the Table will open in theaters nationwide. The film, from the producers of An Inconvenient Truth and Food, Inc., focuses on hunger in America.
A Place at the Table shows that we defeated hunger in the past and that we can do it again.
Please see the film—and invite your friends, co-workers, classmates, and family members to watch it with you. Click here to find a theater near you. A Place at the Table will also be available through iTunes and on-demand on March 1.
Bread for the World's 2013 Offering of Letters is also called "A Place at the Table" and launches on March 1. Together, the film and our Offering of Letters campaign will magnify our focus on ending hunger through changes in public policy.
Watch the movie, discuss it, and spread the word about the importance of ending hunger and poverty. A hunger-free world is within reach. God is at work in our midst, preparing an abundant table where all are welcome. With your voice we will convince our nation's leaders to ensure all people a place at the table.David Beckmann is president of Bread for the World.

Setting Two Tables
Barbie Izquierdo and her children are profiled in the new movie, A Place at the Table. To see a preview of the movie and learn more about "A Place at the Table: Bread for the World's 2013 Offering of Letters," visit www.bread.org/ol.
On March 1, 2013, Bread for the World will be involved in setting places at two tables.
One is "A Place at the Table: Bread for the World's 2013 Offering of Letters."
The other is a new feature-length documentary, A Place at the Table, which shows the persistence of hunger in the United States.
Together, the two "Tables" represent a united effort to end hunger by raising awareness and advocating for policy changes. By coordinating our Offering and Letters with the social action campaign of the movie, Bread for the World will be promoting a national dialogue about how to best secure the leadership, commitment, and unity to end hunger in our country and abroad.
Bread for the World's 2013 Offering of Letters is the most sophisticated campaign we have ever conducted, focusing on both the White House and Congress.
For the first time, we are seeking greater leadership from the White House. We want President Barack Obama to set a goal and work with Congress on a plan to end hunger at home and abroad. Beside regular communication with White House officials, we are asking our members to petition the president. We hope to generate at least 100,000 signatures.
As in past Offerings of Letters, we will continue to focus on policy makers in Congress. Domestic and international programs that help hungry and poor people continue to be threatened by budget cuts. Through handwritten letters, personal email messages, in-person visits, and phone calls, we will be asking our legislators to protect funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps); the Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); and poverty-focused development assistance (PFDA).
We are also asking legislators to support a national commitment to reduce hunger through the tax code. We want Congress to preserve the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) while raising revenue to support anti-hunger programs.
Finally, we are asking Congress to work with the president on a plan to end hunger.
"The reality is that in order to break free from the bondage [of poverty] in this country and the world, we need elected officials to make good on their words and put love thy neighbor at the center of our legislative agenda," said seminary student and Hunger Justice Leader Derick Dailey in response to the two-pronged Offering of Letters.
This reality will be apparent to many people around the country after they watch the new documentary, A Place at the Table. When film directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush approached Bread for the World board member Terry Meehan, seeking support for the film, the rest of the board quickly decided that this was an opportunity to speed up change.
The filmmakers were inspired by the public reaction that was generated by the 1968 CBS Special, Hunger in America. In response to that television program, Congress passed bipartisan laws that all but eradicated U.S. hunger in the 1970s. "We figured that if it worked once, maybe it could work again," said Jacobson.
National distribution of A Place at the Table became possible when Participant Media came on board to finance the film, followed by Magnolia Pictures as the distributor. It will open in theaters throughout the country on March 1 and will be available on-demand (through iTunes, Amazon.com, and other outlets).
We urge all Bread members to see this film. We have resources to help you study the issues raised in the film, as well as materials to distribute at screenings. You can preorder them from Bread's online store or by calling 800-822-7323.
Bread's association with Participant Media does not end when the film hits the theaters. We are also partners in the social campaign accompanying the film. Through A Place at the Table's social action campaign, Bread members will have more avenues for action—at both the national and local levels. Bread for the World and Participant Media will regularly ask our advocates to take various actions throughout this campaign. To join the campaign, text FOOD to 77177.
"Jesus tells us to give them something to eat, and the film shows that our churches do a good job of providing food through food pantries and soup kitchens," said Rev. David Beckmann. "It also shows that this will never be enough. We need to demand that our government get serious about ending hunger."

Director Linda Midgett Talks About 'The Line'

By Sarah Godfrey
When Emmy-winning filmmaker Linda Midgett set out to find subjects for The Line, her short film documenting what it means to live at, or below, the poverty line in America, she had no trouble finding people dealing firsthand with hunger and poverty. What was difficult, Midgett says, was finding subjects willing to talk about those difficulties in front of her camera.
"I think it's easy to find people who are struggling in these ways, but I think what was the bigger challenge was finding people willing to share their struggles publicly," she says. "I talked to food pantries, to various organizations, I talked to the Salvation Army. A lot of people I reached out to were not willing to go on camera.
"I don't say that as a criticism," she continues. "But, for me, it highlighted how much shame is associated with being in poverty."
The Line goes a long way toward addressing the shame and the stereotypes that often surround poverty. The film tracks four subjects: John, who lives in the suburbs of Chicago and, after losing his six-figure job in the banking industry, finds himself dependent on food banks to feed his family; Sheila, a Chicago resident who grew up in poverty, escaped its clutches, and finds herself again facing financial difficulty after a debilitating accident; James, who moves from New York City to North Carolina in search of work, and still barely scrapes by, despite working long, hard hours; and Ronald, a Gulf Coast shrimper whose livelihood has been affected by both Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill.The Line was funded by a partnership of organizations, including Sojourners, World Vision, and Bread for the World. The film premieres tonight, at church viewings around the country, at 8 p.m., eastern time.
One of the things that separates The Line from other films tackling issues of hunger and poverty in America is the fact that Midgett allows the subjects to tell their stories themselves, without interference.
"I felt like one of the most important things I was trying to do with this film was to break down stereotypes of who poor people are, what they look like, what they sound like, and the best way to do that was just to let them talk," Midgett says. "As individuals, they're all so compelling, and have such unique perspectives, just the process of listening to them, in and of itself, breaks down stereotypes," Midgett continues. "Instead of thinking of 'poor people,' it becomes, 'oh, that's Sheila, that's John.' The more you know people by name, and know they're human beings, not statistics, the more it changes your heart."
Midgett says she was surprised by what a diverse cross-section of society her subjects represent—one of the most surprising things she learned while working on the film was that the rate of poverty in the suburbs is on the rise.
"I was not personally familiar with that info, so when I came across that, I said, 'whoa.' To see food pantries in these formerly strong middle-to-upper class neighborhoods, that really was shocking," she says. "The first [subject] in the film, John, he was a former president of a bank, and when the banking industry imploded, he got caught in that, and decided to make a career change to become a schoolteacher. His mom was a teacher, his grandmother—it was a noble profession and he felt drawn to it, but he wasn't able to find a full-time teaching job.
"He's in DuPage County, Illinois, one of wealthiest counties in the country—definitely in the Midwest—and he's feeding his three children with food from food pantries, living off of $12,000 per year. That was crazy for me—I went to Wheaton College in DuPage County, I know DuPage County as this very, very affluent community, and now the poverty rate there has skyrocketed, and all sorts of people are in [John's] position now."
Midgett hopes that, after the film's premiere tonight, communities will continue to share it, hold screenings at churches, and use it as a tool to discuss poverty going into the November elections and beyond. "The plan is to keep getting it out there, keep making it available to people, and hopefully people find it valuable and inspirational enough to keep sharing it," Midgett says.
The Line premieres at 8 p.m. ET tonight, at various church viewing parties scheduled around the country. Find one close to you here. If you'd like to host a screening after tonight, consider holding an adult forum and discussing the film along with the Circle of Protection presidential candidate videos. Contact your regional organizer for more information.

African-American Voices for Africa: Behind the Scenes of Our Public Service Announcement
Screen grab from our African-American Voices for Africa PSA video. (Shot by Laura Elizabeth Pohl/Bread for the World)
By Laura Elizabeth Pohl
"I've got an idea," my colleague Racine Tucker-Hamilton said to me, excitement lighting up her face. "What do you think about producing a public service announcement?"
A television network had been asking Racine if we here at Bread had a PSA about our African-American Voices for Africa (AAVA) initiative, which aims to get African-Americans involved in advocating for policies that eradicate hunger, poverty, and disease in Africa. I loved Racine's idea and had seen plenty of PSAs but never produced one myself.
We both started by studying classic PSAs, like "Brain on Drugs" and "You Could Learn a Lot from a Dummy" from the '80s. We read articles about producing effective PSAs. And most importantly, we found other creative people to work with, including Robert Wesley Branch, a radio talk show host and former producer for the Discovery Channel, TLC, BET and TV One.
And so began our seven-week journey into creating a 30-second public service announcement (PSA) raising awareness about AAVA. Seven weeks might sound like a long time but it's not when you still have other work to do.
Laura Pohl videotapes interview with Bread staffer Lamont Thompson and Racine Tucker-Hamilton monitors audio. (Photo: Racine Tucker-Hamilton/Bread for the World)
We went through almost a dozen script revisions (who was it that said, "I would have written a shorter letter but I didn't have the time"?—writing short really is difficult). Our overall concept changed twice. We enlisted our New York-based colleague Derrick Boykin to narrate the piece and found an audio producer there, Natasha Del Toro, who recorded his narration for us. Two D.C.-based colleagues, Kristen Archer and Lamont Thompson, agreed to the only two speaking parts in the video. I spent hours researching music (jazz, classical, trance, rock—I listened to it all). I sifted through dozens of film clips I had previously shot in various African countries. Then I edited through the very best ones, cutting out short snippets that flowed well together, fit with our positive message and reinforced the narration. In all, there were five PSA versions before we settled on the final one.
We had such fun producing this piece. I often say the best work comes out of collaborating with smart, creative people. This is definitely the case with our PSA. Watch below and let us know what you think.

Bread Film to Be Shown at United Nations Association Film Festival
Siblings Ricky Horton (left) and Sherily Shepard (right) are former tobacco farmers who now grow produce in Blackwater, VA. Screen grab from the short film "In Short Supply: Small Farmers and the Struggle to Deliver Health Food to Your Plate."
by Laura Elizabeth Pohl
I pulled the envelope out of my work mailbox, noted its thinness and thought, "A rejection from the United Nations Assocation Film Festival. Ah well."
I didn't open the letter for a few hours and when I did, what a surprise. "In Short Supply: Small Farmers and the Struggle to Deliver Healthy Food to Your Plate," was accepted into the festival. It will be on the big screen in the San Francisco Bay Area sometime between October 18-28 (exact date TBD). Great news for Bread for the World and the three of us who collaborated on the film: Brad Horn, multimedia storyteller now working at the Washington Post; Molly Marsh, Bread's former managing editor; and me.
The film illustrates some of the uncertainties small American farmers face, from unpredictable weather to changing immigration laws. Through the stories of Ricky Horton and Sherilyn Shepard, siblings who grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables in southwestern Virginia, the short film aims to show how the American food system poses obstacles to delivering healthy foods to American homes.
You can watch the story below—and, of course, in the Bay Area this fall. Hope to see you there!

Jane's Beans: Grown With Hard Work and Foreign Assistance
The hoe falls in a rhythmic "thud, thud, thud" as Jane Sabbi and her sister-in-law hack at the undergrowth on Sabbi's shaded, fertile vegetable farm. The sun is still rising in Kamuli, Uganda, and Sabbi has already cooked breakfast, washed the dishes, cleaned the goat and pig pens, and laid out several pounds of beans to dry. Still ahead: pounding amaranth, harvesting bananas, shelling beans, feeding the animals, and cooking lunch for her husband and seven children.
"I want to work hard, get enough money to educate the children to the university level and attain degrees," said Sabbi. "That's my hope and desire in life."
Jane learned to plant more nutritious crops after joining a Ugandan nonprofit farming collective that receives U.S. foreign assistance. Globally, the number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen by 400 million since 2009. This is mostly the result of much hard work by poor people themselves, but U.S. foreign assistance has played an important role. Watch the video below to see how Jane Sabbi is working to create a brighter future for her family.

Re: What do you use to move your drums? (Vehicle wise)
I've got a 2001 New Beetle. With the back seat down, it's a perfect fit for my 4-pc (w/24" kick) plus hardware and cymbal bags.
However, I recently have discovered that the Turbo Beetle with the 1.8T engine, like I have, has a horrible problem with sludge buildup that (sooner than later it seems!) kills the engine, and that my car is running on borrowed time! So, first thing next year, I will be trading in the Beetle for whatever I can get before it dies, and shopping around for a replacement.
I'm thinking seriously about the Nissan Cube. Anyone got one of them?
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like,

MILWAUKEE — So the Astros won one of those close games that have been eating away at their record all season. Now how to bottle that up moving forward in a marathon whose first couple miles have been much better than the Astros' pace would indicate?
The Astros beat the Brewers 7-5 on Wednesday on the strength of Jose Altuve's career-high four hits, another good day from J.D. Martinez, and a solid effort from the bullpen.
So what exactly changed? Altuve has been finding holes all year, Martinez has been getting on base, and the bullpen has been — in one of the most pleasant reversals from last year — outstanding, boasting a 3.11 ERA. Nothing new there.
That's why the difference between wins and losses is sometimes razor thin.
"This game, if you look at it, came right down to it again," said Martinez, whose team has had 11 of its 19 games decided by one or two runs. "A guy on third with (National League MVP Ryan) Braun up. What can you do? This time it went our way."
It's as much a musing as it is a caution not to overanalyze one-game samples. When you're 3-8 in those 11 one- or two-run games, you tend to remember the guy stranded on third rather than step back and see that the Astros are among the best in baseball with runners in scoring position.
That's why there are 162 of these productions.
Wednesday, it went the Astros' way for the first time in 12 games against the Brewers. Milwaukee was the one doing the stranding as Brett Myers got Braun to bounce out as the tying run, closing a good day for the bullpen in relief of a shaky J.A. Happ.
4-hit game for Altuve
With the score tied at 4, Chris Snyder beat a counterclockwise shift by pushing the go-ahead hit down the first-base line in the seventh inning, and the top of the order struck again with consecutive hits by Jordan Schafer, Altuve and Martinez to make it 7-4.
Altuve's hit was a double, nestling him in at .377 for the season with a .429 on-base percentage and a .551 slugging percentage. It was the first four-hit game by any Astro since Michael Bourn's last July 2. Martinez was 3-for-4 with a double, raising his on-base percentage to .432. And those two and Carlos Lee combined to reach base in all nine of their plate appearances against Brewers starter Shaun Marcum.
"Early in the game, we tried to be a little patient, but he was struggling around the zone, so we started swinging and taking advantage of that," Altuve said.
Martinez noted the Astros did a good job of staying away from Marcum's breaking stuff in the dirt.
Happ and Marcum matched endless frames early on. The game was 4-4 after three innings as Milwaukee got even on the scoreboard with two home runs against Happ, who went five innings and struck out eight.
Two pitches too costly
"I'd like to have the two pitches back — the home run pitches were bad — but to be honest with you, I felt like I made a lot of good pitches," Happ said. "The guys put a heck of a swing on a couple balls to make a few longer innings. But I felt good."
That outing — five innings, four runs — has happened 16 times this year in the major leagues. Five times it has been in a win and 11 times it has been in a loss. The line can be so thin, at times it seems to disappear.
