Today Coach Dooley spoke briefly at SEC Media Days and the thing that I was the most excited to see was that he did not make excuses for our team. He alluded to the fact that it is time to make things happen and not discuss our lack of talent or the youth that our team has faced in the past. Multiple players discussed how Coach Dooley was not on the hot seat, but rather the team was on the hot seat. This is the year that the ship can be turned around and it is evident to me that the team has accepted this and has the leadership and maturity to make it happen. I cannot stress how important Herman Lathers is to this team. He really makes a difference off the field and is a true VFL.
Our offense will be deadly, but I do not think that is much of a secret anymore. Justin Hunter is 100% and CP is showing the ability to be a bigtime factor this year. The guy I am proud of is Rajion Neal. He is bigger, faster and shows a mental toughness that he has not shown in years past. He must hold onto the ball, but if he can become more solid in that department, I feel that he will have a good year running the football. The O-Line is a tight knit group that is taking responsibility for the improvement of the running game.
Today we were picked to finish 5th in the SEC East. Are we being underestimated? Yes. Are we being overlooked? Yes. Will we surprise some people in the SEC East? I believe so.
Football Recruiting
By this time in the week we have seen a number of really good prospects come in and out of the football complex. What was once mentioned to be an underwhelming turnout has turned into a camp that has surprised a number of people. This class has the potential to have some star power, but the quantity of that star power is yet to be determined. There have been talks with many of the higher profile guys about returning for a game in the fall. A target game will be the Florida game.
One of the more interesting things is to finally see where this staff projects some of the players that may be listed as "Athletes" on the numerous recruiting databases. Two of these players are Florida athlete, Marquion Lane and Georgia notable, Marqui Hawkins. I must admit that when I watched the tape on both of these guys I felt that they would be best utilized on the offensive side of the ball. The coaches envision both of these young men at either WR or DB. What is interesting is the size of these guys. Both are about 6'2 which tells me that we are going after corners that have size to match up and play press coverage against the physical wide receivers that make up the SEC.
It was mentioned on our board that a name to keep an eye on would be GA Wide Receiver Demarcus Robinson. This kid is a stud. Unfortunately, it appears we may be trailing the likes of Clemson and Florida at this point, but he was really listening to the sales pitch that Dooley and Hinshaw were dishing out. He liked the idea of being in a passing offense that could showcase his abilities and it was important to him to be somewhere that would allow him to make big plays. He is scheduled to be at Clemson on Friday for their big recruiting weekend. If he leaves Clemson uncommitted, then I think we could prove to be a player with this one. Another wideout that made an impact was Stacy Coley. He is going to be a great player, but there is concern about his grades. Ultimately, we may get a visit from him in the fall, but I do not expect anything more at this point.
Obviously, the biggest name at camp was Derrick Henry. This kid is gigantic. The idea of him taking the handoff and running with force is something that will frighten SEC defenses in the years to come. The thing is, will he be at Tennessee? My gut says no but there is something about his relationship with Coach Graham that makes me feel that we have a legitimate shot. In the end, he could go to Bama or UGA but I think it was made clear to him that he could take this team to another level if he signed with the Vols. As far as other running backs, AJ Turman is set to be on campus today and he hopes to reconnect with the coaches. I think it is clear that he is not the top priority, but I think he would fit in as one of the two backs they hope to pull in this class. He is a downhill runner with long strides. He does not shy from contact and plays against some solid talent in Florida. Many think FSU will be a player with him, but I feel that they are saving space for next year when sanctions should be placed on Miami. With the uncertainty of Derrick Henry and Georgia, I expect the Bulldogs to be a player for Turman as we move along.
Here is the last thing about the running backs—Dominoes will begin to fall, and many have asked which piece is the most important. I think it is Alvin Kamara. At points in his recruitment there was talk of him leaning to Bama and UGA. I think Georgia is a favorite but a team to watch for is Clemson. I think they are in the race more than people think. Once Kamara chooses, I think Tyshon Dye quickly falls into place—wherever that may be.
Another big story coming from camp was the influx of 2014 talent. Rashaan Gaulden, Vic Wharton, Josh Malone, the Berry brothers, Deion Singleton, Jalen Tabor, Racean Thomas, Will Grier, Desean Watson, Harry Dumervil, and Todd Kelly Jr. will highlight next year's recruiting cycle. We have the potential to snag a number of these players. The staff made a "Dream Team" type pitch to them and many feel like they want to play together.
Let's move on to the two commits of the week. Paul Harris and Dante Phillips were two great gets for the staff. Harris is a tall receiver that has sneaky speed. He finds a way to get open and runs smooth routes. Phillips is a guy that I did not think we would pursue. Dave Hart was efficient in making sure that the paperwork would go through. He still has to get the final acceptance into UT, but all signs are pointing towards that happening in the very near future. He will need to trim down, but he will be a valuable 3-4 Defensive End very soon.
2014 QB Bo Baldwin from Aiken, S.C. will be heading to Knoxville tomorrow morning to work out for coach Chaney. The 6'5" 230 lb gunslinger is still without an offer (possibly because he only played 4 games during his sophomore year before a broken clavicle sidelined him), but performed very well during camps at both South Carolina and Alabama this week. In Columbia, he outperformed fellow 2014 QB Will Grier, who just picked up a Vol offer this week. Further, the Alabama coaching staff called to tell him he is in their final 2 for QB in the 2014 class after showing well this Tuesday and Wednesday in Tuscaloosa. Baldwin's recruiter from LSU, John Chavis, has made it clear that he is the Tigers' #1 priority in 2014 after really impressing Steve Kragthorpe last month.
Final recruiting note: I would look for some news regarding Brendan Langley relatively soon. Whether it is good news for the Vols, I am not sure at this point but many thought he would commit to South Carolina earlier in the week and that did not happen. Jalen Reeves-Maybin is scheduled to be here on Friday and I still think we are in a good position here. The same may not be able to be said about Jason Hatcher. This will be a USC/UT battle. We have what he is looking for and his mother wants him close to home. USC has the exclusivity and the bright lights of the big city. Sal will be very aggressive in this case, but I would not favor us at this point. Two names to watch that are committed elsewhere that are entertaining our inquiries are Shaq Wiggins and Naim Mustafaa. Mustafaa should also be here on Friday.
Now, our introductory segment on the basketball team. We get buckets.
Basketball recruiting has started to pick up some as we saw Coach Martin travel to Philly to watch Austin Nichols and Robert Hubbs play this past weekend. Evan Daniels of Fox Sports Recruiting said that "Cuonzo Martin has been front and center for Austin Nichols & Robert Hubbs quite a bit this weekend. He's getting plenty of face time."
The vibes seem to be that it is a Duke/Tennessee battle for Hubbs, although Hubbs has been pretty quiet about favorites so far. It will obviously be a tall order to beat out Coach K, especially with him getting a ton of face time coaching the Olympic squad, but Coach Martin has done everything in his power to keep UT right there. One thing to note is that Duke already has a SG committed for the class of 2013, so Duke might not be recruiting him as hard as we are. Another school to watch out for is obviously Kentucky, but they have not offered Hubbs as of now. You also can't rule out Memphis, who Hubbs grew up a fan of.
As for Nichols, Coach Martin is doing a great job with him as well and we will be in there until the end. Florida seems like they might be the biggest competition for him. You also have to watch out for Duke and UNC with him though. If he chose today, Nichols would most likely choose UT.
Rounding out the high priority prospects would be Jonathan Williams III (JW3) and Nick King. As of now, Memphis would be the favorite for both of them, but UT has positioned themselves very nicely and should get a visit from JW3 this fall. The best news is that Kentucky still has not offered JW3. The fact that UT is even mentioned in the top group for these 2 players show how hard Coach Martin works on the recruiting trail.
Current Team
The biggest recent news out of the current Vols is that incoming FR Derek Reese turned some heads at the Nike Global Challenge playing for Puerto Rico. While this does not mean that he's going to come in and be an All-SEC Freshman player, I think this shows that he has the potential of being a solid 4 year player for UT.
As for the other new Vols, JUCO transfer D'Montre Edwards looks to be the most college ready. He is 6'6 and has a very muscular frame. He has a good looking shot from the perimeter and will be the most likely to crack the rotation early on.
Armani Moore reminds me a lot of Josh Richardson from a year ago. They are both very raw offensively, but are above average athletes that play hard. Like Richardson, Moore could make an impact this year defensively, while his offense should come in time. Another similarity to Richardson is that Moore can play/defend any of the 1-3 positions. The good news for him is that he will not be thrown into the fire like some Freshman are.
The team is currently prepping for a trip to Italy (August 5-15) where they will play against some Italian professional teams. The best thing about the trip is that they do not have to wait until October to run real practices. This is great for the new incoming players that get to see what Coach Martin demands from his players.
Trae Golden and Jeronne Maymon are both expected to be 100% by the time they get to Italy, so the Vols will be at full strength.
We hope you enoyed another free edition of The Hill. Stop by our board and make fun of trent flubbs for a while.

Burma eyes skytrain and underground system for Yangon
Myanmar is in talks with foreign companies with a view to building elevated and underground train systems for the commercial capital Yangon, the country's rail transport minister said on Wednesday 'We are now talking with international companies for the construction of both a skytrain and underground train system for the commercial capital Yangon,' the minister, Aung Min, told Reuters in an interview.
'There is no such project planned for Naypyitaw,' he said, referring to the small, newly built capital.
The former capital, Yangon, is Myanmar's biggest city with an estimated 6 million of the country's 60 million people living there.
Aung Min said the train systems in Bangkok and Beijing were models for the planned Yangon system.

Weekending with Amanda:
Can you believe it? More snow! This time it was deep. Last week it seemed that we got several inches, then it would stop, some would melt, and we'd get an inch more overnight. Not this week! From Thursday night until this morning, it has been snowing, thickly, most of the time. We got roughly 8 inches over those three days! We have basically hunkered down. And no knitting! I gave my thumb two full days to recover. I've decided to frog my Fino and cast on today for this instead. As much as I want a long, luxurious infinity scarf, I don't want to knit all that stockinette.
Yesterday there was lots of movie watching, a little grocery shopping, and my favorite, some cupcake making! Kate was under the weather, so she mostly just watched as I made the Carmella du Chocolat Devil's Food Cupcakes from this book.
So good! They could have been a little more chocolatey in my opinion, but that's the only change I would have made. We are going to frost them with cherry cream cheese frosting and top with cherry hearts. The cupcake recipe, if you want it, is at the bottom of the page.
By bedtime, Kate was pretty knocked out. A fever will do that to you. I don't know what she had, but the something that was keeping her down seems to be gone, Hooray!
Today, I will knit. Maybe I will watch an episode of this or this with the grumpy teenager that has invaded my living room. We will root for the 49er's in the Super Bowl, eat delicious tortellini soup, and have cupcakes for dessert. I am hoping that the bug is gone from our house for good. I don't want another round of sick.
And now, that cupcake recipe. Enjoy!
Makes 24 medium cupcakes or 48 mini
(from Tina Cocolina: Queen of the Cupcakes by Pablo Cartaya and Martin Howard)
3/4 c. water
3/4 c. cocoa powder
3/4 c. butter
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 eggs
2-1/2 c. cake flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1. tsp baking soda
1 c. buttermilk
In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in cocoa powder. Cover and set aside.
In a bowl with an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add eggs and continue mixing until light and fluffy.
Sift together cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add alternately with buttermilk. Add cocoa-and-water mixture and mix. Scrape bowl well with rubber spatula and continue mixing until thoroughly combined. Scoop into large cupcake pans filled 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until springy to the touch.
Let cool 2 minutes in the muffin tin and then move to a wire rack until completely cool. Frost and enjoy!

Area athletes chosen as all-conference picks
November 26, 2014
KingCo Conference coaches recently announced their all-conference selections for all sports during the 2014 fall season. Listed below are the selections from Issaquah, Skyline and Liberty high schools.
Defensive MVP: Cameron Saffle, Skyline
Smash and grab — Spartans win the Coal Bucket in 48-21 trouncing of Eagles
September 9, 2014
If there were any doubts about the Skyline Spartans' determination to start the 2014 season on the right foot, those concerns were shattered on the first play from scrimmage against the Issaquah Eagles.
Quarterback Blake Gregory threw a short pass to running back Rashaad Boddie, who shed a couple of tacklers and raced down the left sideline for an 81-yard touchdown.
Skyline had a 7-0 lead after only 19 seconds, and it set the tone for what turned into a dominating, 48-21 victory for the Spartans in a Class 4A KingCo Conference football opener Sept. 5 at Issaquah High School's Gary Moore Field.
Buddy Bland returns 'home' to coach hard-working Issaquah Eagles
September 2, 2014
After Issaquah High School parted ways last season with head football coach Chris Bennett, the administration turned to a familiar face to fill his shoes — Buddy Bland.
After leading the Eagles for seven seasons before resigning in 2006, Bland chose to focus on teaching his video production class at Issaquah.
However, Bland never completely stepped away from the game — he was Skyline's offensive lines coach during the Spartans 28-0 run that led to two state titles in 2007 and 2008. He returned to Issaquah to coach the Eagles offensive line in 2011 and 2012. He jumped at the chance to start is 16th year as head coach.
Issaquah loses 51-26 to O'Dea
September 24, 2013
The third time proved not to be a charm for the Eagles. The Issaquah High School football team played its third-straight 3A team Sept. 20 against O'Dea.
MaxPreps Freeman Rankings for Washington had Issaquah still at 24, despite a 1-1 start. However, it was the lower-ranked, visiting Fighting Irish (38) that pulled off the upset, 51-26.
The two teams were all square at 14 after one quarter. The Eagles scored a pair of touchdowns with the usual suspects — Derek Chapman scored on a 38-yard pass from Jack Neary and Jack Gellatly rambled in from eight yards out.
Thundering Eagles
September 10, 2013
Jack Gellatly leads Issaquah attack with four touchdowns
On Sept. 5, Mother Nature reminded the region she's still a force to be reckoned with, displaying quite the impressive thunder and lightning show.
The following night, Issaquah High School put the region on notice it, too, will be a force of nature in KingCo this season. The Eagles stormed into host Interlake High School's field and ran away with a 44-3 win in a nonleague matchup.

Potpourri of punk to performAugust 28,2013By Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer
Punks young and old will descend on Rutland this weekend for Punk in the Park.
The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday in Main Street Park.
Manchester's pirate-themed Johnny Earthquake Band is a mainstay of both Punk in the Park and the regional punk scene.
"He's told us he's going to do it every year," organizer John Ellis said of the surf-punk stalwart. "He's celebrating his 33rd anniversary pretty much being in the same band."
On the other end of the spectrum are newcomers Dicosis.
"I'm not really 100 percent sure what they are," Ellis said. "They're a new band. They're local. I think they're punk kids from the area — they're all 17, 18."
Another local act, Get A Grip, offers a hardcore sound.
"The singer just goes crazy, jumps around," Ellis said. "The whole band — the energy level is just phenomenal."
Ellis said a third collection of local youth, This Time Stars Fall, is in the overlapping zone between metal and hardcore.
New Hampshire's Ammonoosuc River Shuffle Band, on the other hand, goes in a completely different direction.
"They're kind of like punk mixed with folk," Ellis said. "They have a banjo and an acoustic guitar — two-piece. They have some really good music with banjo and folk singing."
Ellis compared the Burnouts of Durham, N.H., to the band Rancid. Rancid, for those who don't keep up with such things, is frequently compared to The Clash.
Connecticut's The Damn Broads is an all-female punk band.
"They're fast," Ellis said. "The last time I saw them, the singer was nine months pregnant and it was pretty cool."
Ellis said Rutland metal band Humdinger and the Bucksnort are recovering after losing all their gear in Tropical Storm Irene.
"They had all their stuff in a basement and it got flooded," he said. "They've been able to rebuild and they're playing again."
Springfield's Matt Demon is "comedy metal."
"It's a two-piece," Ellis said. "They do pretty good covers."
Ellis described New Hampshire's The Pretty Corpses as showing influence from punk legend G.G. Allin, though more in his choice of subjects than his antics, which cannot be accurately described in a family newspaper.
"They don't do the bad stuff on stage," Ellis said. "They sing about trailer park girlfriends, stuff like that. They rock live."
Rutland-area crust punks The Midnight Saints will appear, as will New Hampshire's The Labor Pains.
"They're poppier punk with a little folk storytelling," Ellis said of the latter act. "They do oldies covers, like Del Shannon, but they put a punk vibe to it."
Crowds at Punk in the Park have been small since Ellis revived the event two years ago. He said threats of bad weather — and actual bad weather — didn't help.
"Last year we had to do it in the Gazebo, which was pretty cramped," he said. "We had about 30 people at the last one, not counting band members."
This year, Ellis said, the Facebook group for the event shows more than 100 people planning to attend.

The Texas A&M memorial student center may have a fresh face but there's an old friend that still echoes through these halls.
A piano that sits the MSC Flag Room came back to rest its legs in the same room it's been for as long as anyone can remember.
Each day, random students will sit down and tickle the ivories.
Some students pay no attention, others may take a moment or two to soak up the sonata.
"I've been to a lot of universities and never seen this before," said visiting teacher Beth Adams.
"Yeah, it's really nice," said student Miles Vann
Vann is senior who plays a little 42 with friends while listening to the eighty-eight.
"Some of the students really know what they're doing. Like who ever is playing right now. It's really nice," said Vann pointing to the piano.
"I can't read music or anything. I just like the notes," said Lance Elliot.
Elliott is a sophomore who doesn't mind banging out a few tunes.
Some of which are his own.
"That was just something that I made up a while back," said Elliot after playing an incredible piece.
The mild Mozart plays on a daily basis just to pass the time but doesn't mind when students take time to appreciate his solos.
"Sometimes you get a nice crowd reaction. People come up and say, man you're pretty cool. And I'm like yeah! That's awesome! Getting thanks from people," said Elliot.
"Getting other people to hear when normally they wouldn't," said Christian Williams.
Williams is another Aggie who tests his tunes to the sometimes tuned out crowd.
For now, he sticking with his future day job.
"I know I'm going to have my career but in my free time, I'm going to make REAL songs," said Williams.
What's really incredible is the amount talent that one can see on any given day in the middle of the MSC.
"It's so fun because there are so many different people that are talented in so many different ways so you get to experience that. Enjoy what they have to offer," said student Abby Miller.
It's been said that life is like a piano, what you get out of it depends on how you play it. Well at the MSC, life is good.
The piano is believed to have been added to the MSC Flag room by John Wayne Stark but when is something even Texas A&M wasn't completely sure about.

Why did you choose this product?
ITEM#: 12093826Accent any wall in your home with a beautiful hand-painted gecko. This decorative accessory is handmade in Haiti from recycled oil drums.
Product Features:
- Hand-painted with a bright, colorful design
- Small hook for hanging
- Made from recycled oil drums
- Measures 8 inches long
Story Behind the Art:
Caribbean Craft promotes employment in Haiti by training unskilled but often highly gifted craftspeople, and by assisting the independent artisans through the introduction of new designs and new market outlets. Unemployment in Haiti, the poorest country of the American hemisphere, is variously estimated at between 60 and 80-percent. The organization has gone through rough times during the past years, marked by political troubles and economic difficulties including a three year long embargo on all Haitian exports. Caribbean Craft currently employs 400 artisans either as salaried employees or outside contractors, with roughly equal numbers of men and women. The natural artistic talents of the Haitians are well known, and many of these hand-painted pieces are truly works of art.
What is Worldstock?

beautiful! vibrant colors...Read More
The craftsmanship is excellent. The colors are vibrant and you can tell it was painted with whimsy which is the very reason i bought the piece. It was nice to receive a picture of the artist. That was a nice touch. Oh yes, I hung my gecko next to some of my Talavera tile. A really nice marriage of the art pieces. My hat goes off to the gifted artist.Read More
Much smaller than expected even with plotting the measurements on the wall. It just doesn't fill the space as expected. Still I love the colors and the whimsy. I bought another Gecko and a frog to fill the space. Buy and enjoy, just be aware it takes multiples to fill wall space.Read More

Poll: Dannii Minogue's Maternity Style
Expectant mom Dannii Minogue wore a very furry, purple dress on Saturday. The Australia's Got Talent judge is currently in Melbourne auditioning people for the show.
The city is also the place where she and boyfriend Kris Smith plan to settle after the birth of their baby in July.
Personally, I'm not a fan of her dress. It kind of reminds me of something Wilma Flintstone would wear if she was pregnant. Take the poll below!
Do you like Dannii's dress?polls

We began with an exploration of the relationship between the slopes of lines and the angles of inclination that they make with a horizontal axis. After some rather non-precise measurements with a protractor, we used Geometer's Sketchpad to explore further (see Figure 1), and built a table of values precise to the nearest tenth of a degree. Relevant parts of the table are found in Chart 1.
Figure 1
Anytime we collect data, we stare at it, looking for patterns. For some in our classes, the observation that the 45o entries are collinear is a revelation. But, every now and again, we get deeper results, and one year a student remarked that the angles associated with slopes of 1/2 and of 1/3 (26.6o and 18.4o, respectively) appeared to give a sum of 45 degrees. We changed the preferences on Sketchpad to explore more significant digits and this conjecture seemed to hold. That gave us the open door from the inductive living room to the deductive kitchen, and in our best Euclid voice, we asked, "Why?"
Figure 2
Figure 2 illustrates why. The triangle is clearly a right triangle (legs have negative reciprocal slopes) and is isosceles as well (leg lengths are each the square root of 10). The 45-degree angle at the origin has been split into two angles by the x-axis. The segment below the x-axis, connecting A(0,0) and B(3,-1) has a slope of negative 1/3. Similarly, the segment above, connecting A(0,0) and C(4,2) has a slope of 2/4 = 1/2. Done.

Steel producer Corus has announced the closure of its Teesside Cast Products (TCP) unit, resulting in the loss of 1,700 jobs.
Corus chief executive Kirby Adams estimated redundancy costs will total £80 million. Adams said: "This is the last thing we wanted and we feel deeply about what is happening. Sadly, it has become unavoidable, through no fault of our people on Teesside."
Tata Steel bought Anglo-Dutch Corus in 2006 for $12 billion and the unit on Teesside accounts for about 15% of its European steelmaking capacity. According to a company statement, Tata had already subsidised the plant's continuing operation to the tune of about £130 million. "Operating a 3 million tonnes per year merchant slab plant is not sustainable without a long-term strategic partner," the statement added.
Responding to the announcement, Unite union's joint general secretary Derek Simpson said: "This is a dark day for British manufacturing. Unite will do everything possible to prevent this closure from going ahead. The government must act now to save Teesside as decisively as it acted to save the banks last year. The plant needs urgent financial support to secure a future for the workers and prevent its closure."
Meanwhile, Keith Hazlewood, GMB Union National Secretary, said: "What a terrible contrast, with 1700 workers losing their jobs on Teesside, while multi-millionaire bankers gorge themselves at the expense of the tax payers."

Howie Dorough: I was pop royalty
Posted by Nicky with No Comments
Howie Dorough felt like "the queen" at the height of his career.
The singer is part of boyband Backstreet Boys, who rose to fame in the 90s.
Now he and fellow members A.J. McLean, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell are back with a documentary about their career. And reminiscing about their success has made him realise how insane the fans' hysteria can be.
"It's definitely difficult to understand," he admitted to British magazine Star.
"It's weird for anybody to fathom having thousands of people screaming for you. There have been crazy times when there were thousands of people and we had to figure out a way to get to our tour bus. You would have though the queen was there or something!"
Howie didn't find fame hard and is glad he had his family to keep him so grounded. However, A.J. struggled with a drug problem and checked into rehab three times.
His bandmate has a theory about why he may have fallen into substance abuse.
"He's always been one of the most 'out there', trying to figure out his own identity," Howie reasoned. "The tattoos, the nails and the hair… he's tried everything you can think of.
"He spent years trying to do 'bad boy', but if you knew him as a young kid, well, he was probably one of the biggest-hearted, geekiest of all of us." [Source]

Dec 31 2009
Phyllo Mushroom Bundles
I first made these when I was living alone in Los Angeles.
I can't believe I ever lived alone. In Los Angeles. By myself. One person.
One person's groceries.
One person's laundry.
One set of sheets.
Three towels.
1/2 gallon of milk.
1 roll of paper towels every eight months.
It blows my mind. What did I do with my time?
Anyway, I remember the night very well. My ex, I'll call him "J" (though anyone who's read this knows darn good and well what his name is), was down in Orange County where he lived. He'd asked me to come down—it was Friday night, after all—and of course I'd said "Sure! I'll see you later tonight! Whatever you want! Anything for you!"
Then I hung up.
Then I called him back.
"Hey, J?" I said. "I think I'll stay up here instead. I need to be by myself, and I need to make mushroom bundles."
"Come again?" J. said.
"You heard me." I was unapologetic.
"Okay," J. said. "Have fun with that."
Then I cackled wildly and hung up the phone, feeling the rush that comes from taking a step of independence away from a man who didn't really understand how much fun it could be for a girl to stay home on a Friday night and make hors d'oeuvres all by herself.
Now just what exactly I showed him, I don't really know. But I'll figure it out. Someday.
These little bundles are simple to make–you just use storebought phyllo dough from the freezer—and while I'm not a caterer or perfectionist, you can make these as neat and perfect as your psyche requires. They can be assembled and frozen, unbaked, until you need them, and can just be popped into the oven at the last minute.
Most of all, they're delicious. Most things with mushrooms are.
Here's all you need:
Mushrooms—any combination will do. I had white button mushrooms (of course), and a couple of Portobellos. But you can use crimini, shitake…whatever you have on hand.
And butter—this is one of the rare occasions in which I use unsalted butter. But it just works better.
You'll also need wine…and Parmesan cheese.
And you need phyllo dough, sold in the freezer section.
Slice up a bunch of mushrooms. I had a little personal competition with myself as I was slicing these.
"If I get these sliced before that commercial is over, I'm the coolest person on earth."
I didn't make it.
Chop up the mushrooms pretty finely; you don't want any large chunks.
This is probably 3 to 4 cups of chopped mushrooms.
Begin, of course, with butter. A half a stick'll do ya.
Then peel three or four cloves of garlic…(I lean toward four.)
Mince it up finely and throw it in the pan.
And a good amount of white wine. This is optional, but it really does add to the yumminess.
Mushrooms and wine. They just belong together.
Cook the mushrooms for several minutes, until almost all the liquid has evaporated. We just want the mushrooms; not a lot of sauce.
Now grab a roll of phyllo out of the box.
Unwrap…and unroll! What you're looking at here is a stack of extremely thin phyllo sheets. The dough is extremely delicate and on the dry side, and it will completely dry out and crumble if you don't start using it right away. So don't unwrap the dough until you're absolutely ready to begin.
Cut the stack in half in the same direction of the folds. (Note the carcass of a couple of phyllo sheets in the background. I'm telling you—this stuff is dry.)
And now you need to work one sheet at a time. Grab a piece of phyllo, then lightly brush a layer of melted (unsalted!) butter all over the surface. Go as light with the butter as you can, and be careful not to press too hard.
Immediately place another sheet right on top…
And repeat this process, acting quickly, until you have four buttered sheets in a stack. I try not to brush butter on the very top sheet, but if it seems dry and unworkable, go right ahead.
Cut the stack into four equal squares. Truth be told, they're not quite perfect squares…but everything's gonna be okay.
Put a spoonful of the mushroom mixture onto each section.
And top the mushrooms with a touch of Parmesan.
Other cheeses can be used, but if they're really wet and melty, they can disrupt the phyllo. I like Parmesan for this!
Then, using whatever degree of perfectionism you want, just gently gather up each phyllo square into a little bundle. Just try to give the neck a very small pinch so that the bundles stay…bundled.
As you gather them into bundles, just set them onto a baking sheet (spray lightly with cooking spray or line with parchment paper), pressing very lightly to flatten the bottom.
Repeat this process, making four bundles at a time, until all the mushrooms are gone! Then, when you're ready to bake them, pop into a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes—or until nice and golden brown.
And they're frilly and fancy and cute. You can see that a more precise approach would result in a more consistent appearance…but precision isn't what I'm trying to impart to the world.
But I do know this: phyllo is a miracle.
Here's what the bottom looks like. It's pretty thin, so you want to be careful when you're assembling so as not to disrupt the integrity of the dough. You could use five sheets instead of four…but that makes the top of the bundle a little crowded. Just experiment! But this is why:
a) you don't want the mushrooms to be very liquidy
b) you don't want to use a very runny cheese
And now. If you'll excuse me. I need to eat every single one of these.
I hope you understand.
And Happy New Year, my sweet friends. Have a wonderful and safe evening.

Mushroom Phyllo Bundles
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Difficulty:
- Easy
- Servings:
- 8
- 1 package (1 Roll) Phyllo Dough
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter
- 4 cups Chopped Mushrooms
- 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/2 cup Dry White Wine
- Salt To Taste
- 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Preparation Instructions
Melt 1/2 stick butter in a bowl. Set aside.
Melt 1/2 stick butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook for 1 minutes. Pour in wine, stir to mix, and cook for five minutes, or until all liquid is cooked off. Turn off heat and set aside.
Unroll phyllo dough. Cut stack in half. Working quickly, place 1 sheet on a flat surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter. Repeat this until you have four to five sheets of phyllo. Do not brush top layer with butter.
Cut this buttered stack into four equal squares (rectangles). Place a spoonful of mushroom mixture in the middle of each square. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top of each mushroom.
Gather each square into a neat little bundle, pinching the neck so that it remains as closed as possible when it bakes. Place bundles on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, pressing lightly so that they're flat on the bottom.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

If you put a damp kitchen towel over the phyllo dough while you are working with the other layers it will keep it from drying out too quickly.
Lena On Thursday, December 31 at 1:26 pm
Happy New Year and all the best in 2010, Ree. I truly enjoy reading you and virtually "knowing" you. Love from Paris, Lena
Kimm Geria On Thursday, December 31 at 1:30 pm
These look beautiful and delish. I got your cookbook for Christmas and gave one as a gift as well, I have 4 friends hooked on your blog and we now have to coordinate what we bring to functions so we don't duplicate. Happy New Year to you and your precious family. Here is to a new year full of happiness, health and great food.
Tori On Thursday, December 31 at 1:37 pm
Have you thought of using wonton wrapers or egg roll wrappers instead of the phyllo dough? Just wondering.
Nezzy On Thursday, December 31 at 2:00 pm
OMGosh! This Ozarks farm chick needs to go eat something 'cause lookin' at there beauties gave me quite the appetite. I need the strength to leave the Ponderosa and run to Nowhere, USA to buy some phyllo dough. O baby, they're be sparks flyin' round the fireplace tonight! Heeeheeehe!
Have a great New Year, ya'll!!!
Meredith On Thursday, December 31 at 2:05 pm
So great! And I love your commentary! Who knew a person could be so entertained by reading someone's account of making phyllo mushroom thingies! And they look delicious!
Magsie M On Thursday, December 31 at 2:10 pm
I just got home from the grocery store, but I think I need to go back and get these ingredients!
Sheila On Thursday, December 31 at 2:16 pm
Looking forward to another delicious year with you! (Bought 2 of your cook books for gifts)…Continued success online. I tell all my friends about your blog. Happy New Year!
Mary On Thursday, December 31 at 2:23 pm
These not only look easy to make, but they look delish! Thanks for the recipe. Hope you, MM, the punks and all the rest of the gang have a safe and happy new year. Love your blog and look forward to spending time w/you next year!
Wendy M On Thursday, December 31 at 2:24 pm
Love how there's such simple ingredients, and yet have awesome presentation. Hope to try it soon, but not today, just came back from long road trip and is all to sick, coughing and such, to do.
But have a wonderful, Happy New Year PW!
pamb On Thursday, December 31 at 2:37 pm
My dh walked by & said, "Oooo, mushrooms. Looks right up your alley."
He knows me so well.
Maureen E On Thursday, December 31 at 2:43 pm
There have probably been several comments to this effect already, but covering phyllo dough with a damp towel while you're not using it really helps keep it from drying out.
wendy On Thursday, December 31 at 2:45 pm
Just one tip regarding phyllo dough- if you cover it with a damp paper towel in between when you are handling it, it is far less likely to dry out. Ha ha- the spell check gave me Phyllis as the correct spelling for phyllo—
Linda O On Thursday, December 31 at 2:46 pm
Thank you for the inspiration! Have a wonderful New Year!
Hubby's b'day tomorrow…new year's prediction…there will be a yummy chocolate sheet cake in his future!

Silly me – I read that as "Phyllis Mushrooms" not phyllo!

Cover waiting dough with a damp towel between assembling time and they won't dry out so much.
Becki On Thursday, December 31 at 3:16 pm
These look DELISH. Thanks!
P.S. I am a single woman. I buy one roll of paper towels, and it lasts about a month. I buy a half gallon of milk per week. I have a big bed all to myself. I have boyfriends, I go to parties, I don't have any dried baby puke on my clothes. And you know what? I'm jealous of you.
(Just a little. Believe me, I'm livin' the dream over here.)

Hummm Yummmm
Happy New Year to you and the family!
Traci D. On Thursday, December 31 at 3:29 pm
Those look yummy. I just used phyllo for the first time last week and had a lot of luck spraying the sheets with butter flavored cooking spray instead of brushing them with butter.
JoAnne in CT On Thursday, December 31 at 3:29 pm
oh, how I love my 'shrooms!!! This is definitely a MUST try recipe!! If I saw this before I went shopping for an bring to appy for tonight's house party, I would have made these instead! Happy New Year Ree!!!
colleen cheek On Thursday, December 31 at 3:42 pm
most of my Christmas dinner dishes were out of your cookbook. beef tenderlion, stuffed mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and corn cassarole. fabulous. did you know you are #3 on the new york times best sellers list!!!!! Happy New Year.
Adina On Thursday, December 31 at 3:55 pm
I wonder if I can find phyllo dough in Guatemala… it's sure enough worth a try!

Christina On Thursday, December 31 at 4:30 pm
Definitely going to make these again now that I've worked with that phyllo dough (lol, what an experience it was for a first timer!)
mal cakes On Thursday, December 31 at 4:39 pm
i am dying to make these!

Delicious and perfect for little (and not so little) big hands; it's just so good that it's hard to keep the little hands not eat everything before the not-so-little hands can get in!
Mamadallama On Thursday, December 31 at 4:53 pm
Mmmmm! Happy New Year, Ree, and everyone!
Suzanne On Thursday, December 31 at 5:06 pm
Delicious, Ree! To keep phyllo from drying out, unroll it on a damp kitchen towel, then cover the stack with another damp kitchen towel. Just lift the next sheet you want to work with from the stack, and then recover. That will keep the dough nice and pliable. Have a Wonderful New Year!
Suzanne On Thursday, December 31 at 5:08 pm
Oh, and by the way, you could send ol' Mr. "J" an autographed copy of your cookbook….you know, like

You make it look so easy, this may the cure for my phyllophobia!
Messy @ Bungalow'56 On Thursday, December 31 at 5:52 pm
I keep hoping if I stop by these pages enough, I will somehow learn how to cook through Osmosis. I haven't made anything yet, but I sure do get hungry and need to snack while I'm here, and as a result my belt has been let out a notch. It's not quite working the way I had hoped.
Shawn On Thursday, December 31 at 5:54 pm
UGH! After like a thousand great looking dishes in a row you have put up something that totally grosses me out! It's not your fault though – I hate mushrooms! I still love you!
Got your book (with your signature) for Christmas! It's awesome.
Happy New Year!
kathy On Thursday, December 31 at 5:57 pm
Phyllo…food from the Gods…Greek Gods that is. I'm Greek, but not a Goddess…My Grandmother used to make her own Phyllo. Lost art I think! Happy New Year!
Sheila On Thursday, December 31 at 6:37 pm
Happy New Year, Ree!
Allison On Thursday, December 31 at 6:55 pm
Those look insane!
Oh, and a quick phyllo tip: whenever my family uses phyllo, we keep all the sheets under a damp tea towel (I'm sure you could use paper towel as well). This keeps the dough moist and more workable.
Janice On Thursday, December 31 at 7:10 pm
" But you can use crimini, shitake…whatever you have on hand."
Typo maybe??
Gee On Thursday, December 31 at 7:10 pm

auntbear On Thursday, December 31 at 8:36 pm
Mushrooms are indeed a gift from the Gods.
Annalisa On Thursday, December 31 at 8:44 pm
Happy New Year! These look so yummy.
Here's a phyllo dough trick I learned over Christmas making baklava – use it at room temperature. Taking it out of the freezer and using it makes it more brittle. At room temperature it's a little more forgiving.
Becky in VA On Thursday, December 31 at 9:32 pm
Thanks for all the new dishes you've brought into my life over the past year(s) AND that wonderful cook book!!!!!
Happy New Year!
Carmen Henesy On Thursday, December 31 at 9:45 pm
Sounds like a wonderful thing to try…I need to make it once when all three of my brute sons aren't around, otherwise, I wouldn't get a morsel!!
Deb. On Thursday, December 31 at 10:10 pm
oh Ree, so not fair. It's New Years Eve. I am sick with an awful head cold. Dateless- my main squeeze had a computer melt down and now has to play catchup tonight. Starving. If you could just whip some of these up for me and throw them my way…I am on my couch, covered up. shivering. Waiting for these!
Ahorsesoul On Thursday, December 31 at 10:37 pm
Ok, I do miss the phyllo dough since going gluten free. It's one of two things; phyllo dough and Cream of Shrimp soup. I'm just too lazy to make gluten free phyllo dough from scratch.
Ingrid On Thursday, December 31 at 10:49 pm
I read your post and was picking up the ingredients a few hours later. Now that my husband and I are munching on them I can attest to the fact that they are yummy!
Kimberly On Thursday, December 31 at 11:03 pm
These are almost exactly the same as the mushrooms triangles from The Joy of Cooking except with maybe two ingredients changed. The parm is a nice change from the goat cheese. You have great taste JOC is an American classic!!!
Rowdy Chowgirl On Thursday, December 31 at 11:36 pm
These look delicious. I think I'm going to try them with the mushrooms first, then start wrapping everything I can possibly mince up in phyllo dough.
Cindy On Thursday, December 31 at 11:56 pm
Thank you! I had some phyllo that I didn't know what to do with…I do now.
BluJ On Friday, January 1 at 12:08 am
Confused… Does this only make 4 or 8??? Do you wrap all layers for one? I've never used phylo before, but I love mushrooms and would love to try this!
cindilu On Friday, January 1 at 12:31 am
the key with phyllo is a damp cloth….phyllo needs to stay cool and damp. so, what i do, when i make spanikopita or baklava, is put a dry dish towel down on the counter. then lay out the phyllo, then a dry dish towel over phyllo, followed by a wet/damp dish towel ontop of dry dish towel…works ever time…
it helps being greek to know how to do these things….
ali On Friday, January 1 at 1:32 am
made these for new year's; they were yummy!
Barbara S. On Friday, January 1 at 2:14 am
I used to use the pastry brush, but now I use a small foam paint roller and put in the freezer between uses; it makes it a whole lot easier and faster. A picture (and blog post) can be found here:
Sabiilaa Saleem On Friday, January 1 at 3:30 am
Oh yummm! I love anything with mushrooms!! These look delicious! Happy 2010!
Deesha On Friday, January 1 at 4:35 am
wow, this is absolutely delicious & super easy to make
Lauren On Friday, January 1 at 7:14 am
Hey Ree….looks yummy. Here's one for you. Exact same concept with and extra 2 or 3 layers oh Phyllo..substitute the mushroom mixture with one of those super mini snickers or milky way bars, or trail mix w/choc chips or one of the many variety of Hershey's kisses..Yeah, we used to do this. HEAVEN. Be careful, super duper hot when they come out of the oven.
Let me know what ya think. Happy New Year!
mrssonofgib On Friday, January 1 at 10:31 am
Phyllo makes everything better!
Happy New Year Ree!
Mandy On Friday, January 1 at 10:59 am
Those look great.
I especially love chopping mushrooms. Mushrooms and eggplant… there is something about the feel of cutting into them with a good knife, which I absolutely relish. Weird.
Barbara Louise On Friday, January 1 at 12:00 pm
OH my Heavens, I'm going to have to try these ASAP.
Anna On Friday, January 1 at 12:44 pm

My husband thinks Marlboro Man's got it made in the shade after he saw these latest delectables.
Alison Weinstock On Friday, January 1 at 1:51 pm
These look fabulous. FYI, I use Pam and spray the layers instead of using butter when I use phyllo. Works great, and way less fattening.
Thanks for all of your fabulous recipes this year. Happy and Healthy 2010!!
Diva On Friday, January 1 at 2:31 pm
Hoooweee baby! That looks delish.
Mindy@thesuburbanlife On Friday, January 1 at 5:21 pm
Okay, so I am totally with you on the phyllo dough, butter and garlic. But I can't wrap my simple little mind around the mushrooms. So, I'm thinking bacon. Cheese, maybe? Oh, grilled veggies! Or…maybe just butter and garlic. How about I don't even bundle up the phyllo? Okay. Truth is…I'm lazy. Oh, and I don't like mushrooms. =)
Barbara OFallon On Friday, January 1 at 6:35 pm
I made these for New Year's Eve and they were delicious!
It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be messing with the phyllo. Happy New Year!
Anita On Friday, January 1 at 6:38 pm
Looks so good…Happy New Year.
teresa On Friday, January 1 at 7:16 pm
Hi Pw,
I made your creme brulee for New Years (and the brie stuffed mushrooms ) YUM! But um, serves six? I filled 9 deep ramekins and 4 of the shallow ones like in your picture. . .
happy New Year,
Virginia Tadrzynski On Friday, January 1 at 8:24 pm
You know DAMN GOOD AND WELL what you showed him…..and continue to show him…..That you are an individual with a whole 'nuther life that didn't revolve around him. For what it's worth…..did you at least send him a copy of your book, gratis of course, autographed…..just to remind him what you showed him….the door.
BevF. On Friday, January 1 at 8:35 pm
Made these last night, they were a HUGE hit!!! Will definitely be making these again!
The Teacher Cooks On Friday, January 1 at 8:49 pm
These are just perfect little bundles of joy!! I love easy!
Tako On Friday, January 1 at 9:31 pm
Every time you post an amazing mushroom recipe I kind of want to cry. I know it is a recipe that will taunt me with it's potential tastiness for a very long time because noone in my family and the group of people I cook most often would so much as look at a mushroom, let alone put it in there mouth.
At the same time…I see myself making multitudes of mushroomy recipes for myself while preggers in the hopes that the old adage of liking whatever your mother ate most while pregnant holds true. Then at least my children would enjoy them with me, lol.
Pamela On Friday, January 1 at 9:34 pm
Ok so I made these today – forgot the white wine and used salted butter. They were good but I would not recommend making my mistakes. I can see how the wine would be necessary – however, they were delish! I was thinking a little ground sausage would taste good….
luckymomof3 On Friday, January 1 at 9:37 pm
Mmmm!! I just made these and my 14 and 16 year old boys love them! They said, "You have to make these more often!!" Thanks for a fabulous recipe ♥
Surfer's Girl On Friday, January 1 at 9:51 pm
Made these this afternoon for my surfer and daughter….no special occassion…I felt we hadn't eaten enough butter over the past week. They both loved them. However, starting tomorrow I'm cutting back on my butter consumption…..or maybe I'm going to just lengthen my daily run. One or the other for sure.
Abbie(TheGreenWife) On Friday, January 1 at 10:02 pm
Ohhhh lawdy.
Erin On Friday, January 1 at 10:20 pm

sleepy4 On Friday, January 1 at 10:29 pm
Mmmmm thats some good looking grub you've made there. Makes me hungry!! Will give these a try just as soon as I loose some of the weight I have put on over the holidays.
Mary Poppins in Heels On Friday, January 1 at 11:36 pm
I love it! And the mushroom bundles are great, too!
Shasta On Friday, January 1 at 11:38 pm
Oh how I wish I had read the box for the phylo, I didn't pull it out of the freezer until I was ready for it like you said, and I destroyed the phylo when I tried to unroll it since it was still frozen. Maybe you could add a note in the recipe? Oh well, I guess we'll have mushrooms with the steak instead of appetizers.
Hillary On Friday, January 1 at 11:55 pm
Hmmm, I'm not a fan of mushrooms but that pastry dough looks interesting. What else can you use it for I wonder???

Can't get past "1 roll of toilet paper every 8 months." Makes me worry just a bit…

cathy Heckman On Saturday, January 2 at 10:19 am
Was making my store list when I came upon the recipe and of course bought what I needed, OMG where they yummy! My 15 year old son snarfed them down so fast! i did add a pinch of rosemary, which added a oh so yummy flavor! I think next time I will try the Phyllo cups I had major issues with the sheets, but they still got and they still tasted yummy so you live and learn!
aimee On Saturday, January 2 at 10:23 am
bet these would be delicious with goat cheese….mmmm…

violarulz On Sunday, January 3 at 12:51 am
yum! thanks for sharing this recipe, we (well, I watched, the dude did all the cooking) made these for a dinner party last night, they were super easy (again, they looked easy, I was busy) and were a BIG hit!
Jennifer On Sunday, January 3 at 1:23 pm
I just made these and O. M. G! I couldn't stop eating them. Seriously, how do stay so thin??
Sandi On Sunday, January 3 at 8:17 pm
These are fabulous. It was my first time to work with phyllo dough.. so I had a little rippage.. but they still turned out awesome
Jessie On Sunday, January 3 at 9:53 pm
I made these and bought PASTRY SHEETS instead of phyllo dough (I manage to mess up at least one ingredient in every recipe!) and just layered the mushroom concoction and loads of parmesan on 1/3 of a sheet and then put another 1/3 of the pastry sheet and coated it in butter and cooked it according to the pastry sheet box. AND IT WAS AWSOME!! I ended up just cutting strips of it and serving that way, but it was great with a butter flaky crust. All I'm sayin' is – the mistake made it great!!!
Rashelle McKinley On Sunday, January 3 at 10:19 pm
Ree, these look very yummy. Oh you always crack me up….hello little lovers. hahahahaha Love it! Anyway, I will have to make these soon! YAY
Wendy Earwood On Monday, January 4 at 4:29 am
This was the first time I've ever used Phyllo sheets. I've always been scared to use them. I've loved your other recipes for all the great pictures you use so decided to give these a whirl. They were Wonderful and looked exactly like your pictures. I even had one carcass…ha ha ha! Thank you for all the work you do in putting this website together. It really has helped us cook better meals!

What is the meaning of life? Which is the fate of universe? These are the common questions anyone would expect to be set in any sci-fi indie videogame. But not in this one. Right now, Zyrth's main concern is to have his spaceship repaired. To reach such a goal he will have to face the most exotic events that may happen in the universe...

Thanks for reacting in a customer-friendly manner! I must admit that the green box had escaped my attention, just had noticed the promo ad in the articles section. My mistake.
Hey all! There have been comments on possible virus detections for this game, but they are false! The tech team at Desura have run multiple virus scans that came out completely clean. Norton have confirmed this. So no worries - just download this game now and have fun!
It's a great game!!

Interresting game. But it would higly benefit from "knytt" like depth... There is a lot of atmosphere. But from what I have played, it felt a bit shallow.
We'll see how it goes with more time
I have just done a gameplay review of this fun physics based platformer, I would highly recommend buying it :)
Hope you enjoy the Review

Has Anyone Used This Ingredient? Fiori di Sicilia
I just read about this in the King Arthur shop online and wondered if anyone can tell me anything about it? I have two friends who bake and thought this may be a nice addition to their gift baskets.

The society is made up of several chapters located at over 100 accredited two-year colleges. Students can become members by joining chapters at their colleges. These chapters' functions and activities are operated by the Psi Beta student members and faculty sponsors. All activities and memberships are recorded by the National Office, and the National Council guides the affairs of the organization and determines its policy.
Psi Beta is an affiliate of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the American Psychological Society (APS), and is the first two-year society to become a member of the Association of College Honor Societies.

An all-around good recipe -- that needs a little tweaking. I followed directions as-is (minus the walnuts due to allergies). I also added some chocolate chips into the batter, rather than sprinling on top. The walnuts may have improved the taste, but I don't know since they didn't make it into my mix. After mixing the batter, it seemed a little dry, so I added about 1/4 cup plain yogurt. I should have used 1/4 cup maple syrup for sweetness. These muffins are healthy but the flavour factor is almost nil. I will definitely be adding butter or jam when eating this batch. Also take note that the apple sauce should be added to the wet ingrdients -- it is not mentioned in the preparation.flag if inappropriate
