About Kitchen Parade & Weight Watchers
In 2002, I lost 30 pounds with Weight Watchers. Truly, in the course of several months, and especially since, Weight Watchers changed my whole understanding of the relationship between food and weight, of how my metabolism benefits from eating within a tight range of calories/points, of making food choices day in and week out. Yes, I'm a big fan of the Weight Watchers concepts! (And so are my sister, three of my cousins, several of my Size 4 friends and ...) To me, Weight Watchers is as much a 'healthful eating plan' as a way to successfully lose weight. For this site, I use my own recipes, my own nutrition analysis software and calculate Weight Watchers points myself. What's shared here are my own opinions and perspectives. With any luck, Kitchen Parade and my food blog A Veggie Venture can serve as 'buddies' for Weight Watchers followers, just as my friends who followed Weight Watchers offered tips and pointers when I was first losing weight.
So please know: This site is not affiliated with Weight Watchers International, Inc. WEIGHT WATCHERS and its point system are registered trademarks of Weight Watchers International, Inc. Weight Watchers has not reviewed this site for accuracy or suitability for its members. Information on this site (including the Weight Watchers point values associated with recipes) is based on my own opinions, perspectives and calculations. It is not endorsed by Weight Watchers. Complete information about Weight Watchers is available via the Weight Watchers' website and local Weight Watchers meetings. Readers are encouraged to join Weight Watchers to fully enjoy Weight Watchers many benefits.
I'm excited to find some great recipes that are quick and easy!!
Thanks - keep up the GREAT work!
Gumbo with oven roux, but was blocked. I am so glad I found your
site. There are so many interesting things on it. Thanks for all your
recipes and especially the tips.
Post a Comment
Thank you for taking a moment to write! I read each and every comment, for each and every recipe. If you have a specific question, it's nearly always answered quick-quick. But I also love hearing your reactions, your curiosity, even your concerns! When you've made a recipe, I especially love to know how it turned out, what variations you made, what you'll do differently the next time. ~ Alanna

Sad news: The passing of Prof. Frank MorettiIt is with great sadness that we share with you the news of Prof. Frank Moretti's passing. As those of you who studied with him know, Frank deeply embraced and embodied the true spirit of education and he will
be deeply missed by all of us.
A lovely tribute to him has been posted on the CCNMTL website:
There are no formal funeral arrangements, but Frank's family is receiving people at their Riverdale home (5401 Palisades Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471) from Tuesday through Thursday, July 16 - 18, from noon until 8:30 PM. They would welcome his friends and colleagues from Teachers College.
If you would like to write a note to Frank's wife, Dr. Robin Stern, you can send it to her at the address above.
CCTE faculty and staff will be working on a way to honor Frank's life and work in the coming months.

The Fred Kelly Delrin Freedom Pick is a new innovation in finger pick design and is ideal for guitar and in particular Clawhammer Banjo. The Delrin provides a very comfortable fit and natural feel on the strings.
Fred Kelly's Speed Pick was designed to be fast on the strings. The long, slim shank allows for precision, speed, and truer tonal clarity. It has a comfortable, yet securely fitting thumbhole, and is available in the delrin material. Delrin is an extremely strong material, and provides a soft and natural sound on the strings. See below to select Light, Medium or Heavy thickness options. Colour may vary.
Fred Kelly's Delrin Slick Pick has a flat pick point that enhances smooth strumming. This pick is neither big or bulky, like many on the market, and is the first pick that acts like a flat pick. Available in different gauges, see drop down menu.
The Shubb String Winder is an Ergonomic, attractive, and efficient design. This new string winder feels good in your hand, and operates smoothly. There are no screws or rivets, so it won't loosen, wobble or bind! A bridge pin puller is incorporated into this clever design.

Instead of dealing with cold and snow during their respective Holiday breaks, the Beloit College Men's and Women's Basketball teams are heading to an area that enjoyed temperatures in the 80's very recently. And the only snow to be found is artificially produced.
It's California or bust for the Buccaneers, as both teams head out for a pair of games around Los Angeles.
The Buccaneer Women will be playing in the University of Redlands Winter Classic along with Chapman University and fellow-MWC foe Ripon College on December 27-28. The Men follow with individual games on December 29 and 30 at the University of La Verne and Redlands.
It's the first trip to California for both teams since December 29-30, 2005, when they played in the Vanguard University Tournament in Costa Mesa, California. Both teams went 1-1 on that trip, with the Women defeating Rochester Institute of Technology 61-49 before falling to Marymount University of Virginia 72-68 in overtime. The Men lost to host Vanguard 82-68 and topped Goucher College 62-44.
Head coach Jennifer McCormick's Women's squad, who are 3-5 with a two-game winning streak, will play host Redlands on the 27th at 7:00 p.m. Pacific time before taking on Chapman at 5:00 p.m. on the 28th.
Brian Vraney's Buccaneer Men, also 3-5 and on a two-game winning streak, play at La Verne on the 29th at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time before heading the short distance to Redlands for another 2:00 p.m. game on the 30th.
The Redlands Women are 8-2 on the season and have won six straight games following a three-game sweep of a trip to New York from Wednesday thru Saturday, where they defeated New Jersey City, New Rochelle and Staten Island.
Chapman University is 5-3 after splitting a pair of games at the Hawaii Classic in Honolulu on Thursday and Friday, defeating Pacific and losing to Georgetown KY. They play Ripon on the 27th before meeting the Buccaneers.
The University of La Verne is 3-4 and have lost four straight. They host another Wisconsin school, Milwaukee School of Engineering, on the 28th before taking on the Bucs.
The Redlands Men are 4-5 and on a three-game winning streak after Thursday's win over Williamette OR. They play Calvin College on the 28th before hosting Beloit.
After returning from their trip both squads have several days off before returning to Midwest Conference action on January 8 at St. Norbert College in De Pere.


text: I think it's safe to say that if there's one thing to take from these ads, it's that if you wish to be a baseball great, you should start smoking cigarettes. Do they still make Chesterfields? Because I'd sure like to be the next Ted Williams! Also, note the Arthur Ashe Bufferin ad that mentions the heart surgery where he got the blood transfusion that was later revealed to be the cause of his AIDS.

Microsoft security software can help protect your PC from malware and unwanted software.
Download our products below or find out which security software is right for you.
Windows Defender in Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows 7 and Windows Vista help protect your PC from malware and other threats in exactly the same way. You can't use Microsoft Security Essentials with Windows 8.1.
Windows Defender in Windows 8.1 is built into Windows and ready to work as soon as you turn your PC on.
Microsoft Security Essentials works on Windows 7 and Windows Vista. You can download it from the Microsoft Security Essentials website.
Before the release of Windows 8.1, Windows Defender was a separate tool for antispyware. This tool is no longer supported, as it is now fully integrated into Microsoft Security Essentials (in Windows 7 and Windows Vista) and Windows Defender (in Windows 8.1).
In other words, you don't need to have both Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender if you're using Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

Laying Down the Law? Or part of Bigger Talks?
A source close to the situation just informed me that two teams have very recently inquired about the availability of Bobcats reserve guard Acie Law and that "one of them is definitely New York." The other team is "an Eastern Conference team as well."
The source also believes that "it's pretty clear" Law will be on the move.
On the heels of our post about possible moves, to me, the Knicks interest in Law might just mean that a bigger deal is in the works, and as I've said since the Bobcats are trying to make a push, this may mean Jared Jeffries.
Obviously, there are complications in terms of matching salaries, and since D.J. Augustin is a name constantly being thrown out there may just be something brewing here. Maybe getting a third team involved. As we know, the Knicks would have to make roster space in order to match a deal that included Jeffries.
Donnie Walsh has said repeatedly that he will only make a move at the deadline if a deal "makes the team better." Adding Law, who has played minimal minutes, does not add up to that in my opinion, so that's why there may be something bigger.
What would the Knicks want with a reserve guard who's not much of an upgrade despite the fact that he is about to expire? What would they give up if it's simply a 1 for 1?
Again, the Bobcats, having acquired Stephen Jackson, are not going to be players this summer, and they would want nothing more than to host several (if not more) home playoff games this postseason for revenue purposes.
Recently, the Knicks have been reportedly rumored to plan on trying to make a deal, big or small, if it helps them a) shed contract and b) make themselves better for a playoff push.
Stay tuned.

INDIAN ROCKS BEACH, Florida -- Whetherit's broiled, blackened, or fried, grouper always seems to be a favorite at seafood restaurants around the Bay Area. But is the fish on the menu what winds up on the plate?
Last year, the conservation group Oceana found that 31 percent of seafood sold in South Florida restaurants, sushi venues, and grocery stores was mislabeled (grouper was mislabeled at a lower level: 18 percent).
10 News decided to see if Bay Area restaurants were selling what they're advertising. One of the restaurants we tested was Crabby Bills, which has locations in Indian Rocks Beach, Clearwater Beach, and St. Pete Beach. Grouper is one of its most popular items.
"It's probably six or seven percent of our total volume," said Crabby Bills CEO Matt Loder.
Loder told 10 News he knows he's serving real grouper because he trusts his suppliers. But he can't vouch for all of his competitors.
"That's what makes us so angry when we see other people fraudulently selling something else and, of course, charging less for it. It makes us look like we're the bad guys in this deal," said Loder.
10 News decided to check for fakes by ordering grouper sandwiches from ten different restaurants in the Bay Area. We brought them to the College of Marine Science at USF-St. Petersburg for DNA testing. The crew there can tell if the samples are real grouper or something cheaper, like tilapia or Asian catfish.
"Grouper is generally a thicker, flakier white filet," said Distinguished Professor John Paul, PhD. "Some of these other catfish are thin filets."
But Paul said most grouper lovers probably can't tellif their fish is fake once it's cooked. "When something's been blackened, buttered, and sauced, it all tastes like grouper."
A week after taking the samples to Paul's lab, we got the results, and they were encouraging: all of them turned out to be real grouper. The result from the Hurricane Restaurant in Pass-a-Grille didn't surprise general manager Rick Falkenstein.
"Oh, great! I know that," he said.
But Falkenstein also knows there are times when a competitor might not pass the test, and it makes him angry.
"How can someone in our industry sell something that's a fake and stand up and seat guests at their table? They deserve what they get," said Falkenstein.
A few years ago, the state started cracking down on restaurants that misrepresented food items on their menu. More than 40 Bay Area restaurants were eventually cited for advertising grouper and selling something else. One of them was Bella Habana in St. Pete Beach. But that was in 2006, when it was under old management. Mariano Alvarez bought Bella Habana in 2009.
"I've never had a problem," said Alvarez. "I will not serve anything that's not what it's supposed to be. Period!"
USF's College of Marine Science has developed a hand-held device that can test grouper DNA in less than an hour. Professor John Paul said the university hopes to eventually make the technology available to restaurant owners so they can verify fish at the dock.
"They want to know what they're getting before they put their money out," said Paul. "So, within 45 minutes to an hour, they'll have a correct answer."
For customers, Paul has another suggestion: check the price. If a restaurant is selling a grouper sandwich for five dollars, it's probably not grouper.
"I would be very suspicious," said Paul.
Here are the results of the restaurants 10 News tested, and the price for their grouper sandwiches in mid-January. (Prices can vary, and some of the restaurants may take grouper off their menu if the price their suppliers are asking is too high.)
- Babalu, St. Petersburg -- Red Grouper $12.95
- Frenchy's Rockaway, Clearwater Beach -- Red Grouper$10.95
- Crabby Bill's, Clearwater Beach -- Red Grouper $12.99
- Colonnade, Tampa -- Red Grouper $12.99
- The Hurricane, Pass-a-Grille -- Red Grouper $10.75
- Dockside Dave's, St. Pete Beach -- Black Grouper $12.95
- Jimmy Guana's, St. Pete Beach -- Red Grouper $10.95
- The Pub, Indian Shores -- Red Grouper $12.95
- Harvey's 4th St. Grill, St. Petersburg -- Red Grouper $11.95
- 4th Street Shrimp Co., St. Petersburg -- Red Grouper$11.99

I like Syfy. I'm rooting for Syfy. But as a guy who has spent a lot of time in the Social Media space, I worry about these ads I see during Upfronts Week here in New York.
Syfy is suggesting that their audience is both highly engaged and influential. I'm sure they've got data that backs that up too, but these ads display either Syfy's misunderstanding of social, or are willfully misrepresenting how social works. These ads may some pretty strong claims: Let's take the images from left to right.
- 12,000 people heard me rave about your hotel
- I told 9,000 people what cell phone to buy
- 10,000 people re-tweeted my movie review
A few questions here. First, are these people credible/relevant voices in the areas of hotels/consumer electronics/movie criticism? Would I value her hotel review any more than I would value her thoughts on political unrest in the Middle East or the best nail polish color for beach season? In other words, what is their relevance as an expert in these scenarios? Second, what is their reach? How many people follow the guy on the right so that he can generate 10,000 retweets? Here's the tweet for the last movie review from Roger Ebert, certainly the most famous movie critic in this country.
It got 1,300+ retweets. Ebert had about 844,000 followers, so to generate 10,000 retweets our Syfy-watching friend would have to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-10 million followers. For context, Bill Gates has about 11+ million followers. So yeah, I guess it's possible for him to get 10,000 retweets, but they are presenting this guy as just a regular Joe, not some combination of Bill Gates and Roger Ebert. Check out this interesting Quora thread for a look inside social media numbers. Now let's move to the gentleman in the middle. He just told 9,000 people which cell phone to buy, and presumably if you were, say Samsung or Nokia, and you advertised on Syfy, that could be a good thing. But did his comments resonate with those 9,000 people? How many went to the cell phone brand's website, or added the phone to their consideration set? How many of those 9,000 were even in the market for a new cell phone? Or as Rob Clark, Director, Insights and Measurement at Edelman Digital, notes:
I get what Syfy is doing – they are selling their audience as a desirable target demo. They are selling them on the posters as a brand'secret weapon, "I'm your social media," they tell the brand. I've made my share of 'Top Influencers" lists, and I think they tend to be link bait for those creating the lists and an exercise in vanity for those on the lists. But things like relevance, reach and resonance are important. That's why Traackr exists.
Here's where I think Syfy is missing the boat: How are they creating an engagement strategy that ties the brands to the network's programming in a relevant way? It doesn't feel like they are connecting the dots. As an advertiser, I could reach the three above in a wide variety of ways, how is Syfy making my brand fit with the content that Syfy distributes? The logic they seem to be banking on is: Run an ad on our network, and our audience will tweet about you. But does it work that way? These people are fans of Syfy programming, not advertising from Syfy sponsors. If I'm watching Defiance on Syfy, I'm tweeting about the show – characters, plots, etc. – not about the latest spot from a hotel chain. That's why context is so important.
If Syfy wants to sell Syfy viewers as a lever for advertisers, they have to make their advertisers contextually relevant to other audience memebers. Here's where someone like Hyperactivate comes in. These guys are masters at building engagement around contextually relevant content. Entrepreneur magazine tabbed them as one of three startups to watch coming out of SxSW 2013. They've worked with brands like M&Ms, Ellen, Katy Perry, MLB and many more. They recently ran a social media-driven engagement campaign for a popular video game, and in some cases big engagement was driven by people who wouldn't normally be called "influencers." Hyperactivate explains:
"One user engaged through Facebook, where he only has 490 friends. From his single entry, he activated 25 people. From those 25 people, his reach grew to 6,077 with a total of over 200 clicks, and further people activated. Normally, this person wouldn't be seen as any sort of influencer yet he's activated a good amount of people and spread the brand message to an even larger audience."
And now we get to the Duncan Watts v. Malcolm Gladwell argument regarding what an influencer is, and that's not my main point. My point is, regardless of how you define influencer, or if you even believe in that at all, Syfy is playing a bit fast and loose with the true mechanics of social media and they are potentially missing the larger point around providing contextually relevant content. If Syfy wants brands to play ball with them, they need to make sure they are integrating the brands around the content that the Syfy audience has come to enjoy.

(Editors note: This is part one of a two part series on how Carbon School District handles tragedies that occur within their student body and staff).
Tragedy, grief, sadness.
At one time or another in everyone's life, tragedy of some type takes place. What follows such an event is grief and sadness. The trauma of the tragedy goes on long after the actual event.
For children, a tragedy in the family or one including a friend or schoolmate is often a first time anything remotely like it has ever happened to them. Nearly 40 percent of those under 18 will experience a death of a peer at some point during their school years. More profoundly, 20 percent will have witnessed an actual death. For about five percent, the loss of a parent by the time they are 16 years of age is a reality.
What follows the tragedy in a young life is important. How that grim reality hits and the grief that must be expressed that follows the event is expressed is important. While traditionally many have said death is just part of life and people need to "buck it up," not everyone can do that. Many who do "buck it up" are grieving on the inside and often the results of doing that are long ranging and profound.
Schools can be a very good setting for kids to be in when grief takes place due to a loss in the community. They provide a familiar environment (normalcy) and students who get help can be observed over time. In addition, schools are expected to be places of comfort and safety for students and many who would not turn to outside mental services for problems associated with loss, willingly accept help from school provided help.
Carbon School District has a Crisis Response Team in place that responds to tragedies, whether they be personal to one or two students, or more general, such as the loss of a classmate or a school staff member. The team consists of some district personnel from various schools along with the counselor in the school and the school's administration. Outside agencies are also involved when something takes place.
"The program is very individualized," said Judy Mainord, the secondary supervisor for the district and one who is part of the team. "What we do depends on whether it affects just one student or the entire school. When there is a student death we always respond."
The basic district-wide team consists of Mainord, Karen Kone, Karee Hunt and Deborah Worley. They have been together, responding to crisis for 11 years.
The death of a student in a school can have a debilitating effect on the campus for a long time. How that death is handled, from both a school and family point of view, is important.
"When a student dies we make a home visit to the family," said Karen Kone, who works at Sally Mauro Elementary. "We take leads from the family as to how they want things handled."
The team focus' on the students in the school and what can be done to help them overcome the sad feelings.
"The grief counseling team has a narrow focus," said Mainord. "That is the impact on the students."
Kone says that how the school staff reacts to a tragedy also affects campus.
"Children take their cues from us," said Kone. "We need to help them grieve in a healthy way."
The grief a school feels is not only confined to the students either. Staff members at the school are often struck by it too and that can be problematic.
"When a school is impacted, counselors and others are impacted too," said Hunt, who works at Wellington Elementary and the Lighthouse. "Because of that we have someone from the outside come in to help them."
Tragedy can happen at any time. The team assembles once a death has occurred and it doesn't matter what day it is; Saturday, Sunday, holidays, they come together. That group consists of the regular district team, the counselor for the school, the principal and any other key members that may be needed. When they meet they determine who will be the most impacted and the scope of the responsibilities of the team as they work with the school's personnel and students. Once those decisions are made, the principal holds a special faculty meeting to decide how to announce the death to students. That is always done with a factual statement. The team and the process are under the direction of the school principal.
While there is a comprehensive guidance counselor in each school, the extra help becomes a necessity.
The mantra of the team is to "not have chaos on top of crisis." Chaos can result from a number of different situations, and in this day and age of social media, rumors fly faster than they every have. Facts become the gold standard when it comes to dealing with crisis.
Another gold standard is to not vary from normal schedules and activities. School is never closed for a death, no matter who it is that passed away.
"Kids want to know what is going to happen," said Kone. "They want to know what is going to happen to them, to others, etc."
The groups says that normalcy is one of the keys. That doesn't mean that people should not take time to grieve, but the act of keeping classes going, doing things at the same time of day as has been done all year is important. In fact all on the team agreed that they have seen kids relieved when, after discussions about the situation, they move on with their studies.
For some students what may have happened in the recent past can make a different too. A death in the family, compacted by one following in the school can create problems for individual students.
"Students may have had to face one death and then another can set them off," said Worley, who works at Carbon High School and Creekview Elementary.
Creative activities always help students too. There are ways to have memorials and ceremonies that are helpful.
"We find activities for students to do that can help them cope with the death," said Hunt. "They can draw cards, make posters and various other kinds of things expressing their grief."
But death is not simplistic, in that someone is just gone from the ranks of the school. Some of the problems afterward arise from the way the death occurred. An accident, a disease, natural causes are all a little different. But one way does stand out that affects students and others more than any other: Suicide.
It is a known fact that if suicide deaths are handled improperly in a school, it can lead to many other problems, including more possible suicides.
That is where the Crisis Response Team becomes more important than ever.

As the new school year quickly approaches, it's time for parents and their school-aged children to begin tackling their back-to-school to-do lists. Among other things, this should mean a trip to the pediatrician for an annual checkup and discussions about important subjects like study habits and bedtimes.
"While a yearly physical exam may not seem urgent, it is an important part of a child's health care, and the back-to-school season is a convenient and easy-to-remember time to get it in," saids Mark Holyoak, acting CEO at Castleview Hospital. "An annual physical gives your pediatrician a chance to provide your child with a thorough exam. It's also a good opportunity to confirm that vaccinations are up-to-date and address important questions, including adolescent issues like drinking, drugs, sexual activity and depression.
"While many children are involved in school athletic programs and may receive sports-specific exams through their school, these exams shouldn't replace an annual check-up by your family pediatrician, as they tend not to address the child's overall health," he added.
In addition to being an ideal time for an annual physical exam, the back-to-school season is also a great time for families to consider (or reconsider) important subjects like homework and bedtime routines.
"To many children, homework is a cruel (although necessary) part of life that can become easy to neglect," said Holyoak. "While parents may sympathize with their plight, children need to understand that homework is an integral part of the school curriculum and must be attended to regularly and with the utmost attention. By establishing a sound homework routine early on, children will be positioned for success for the duration of their academic lives."
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offers these tips for supporting good study routines in your home:
*Children need a permanent work space that is quiet, well-lit and free from distractions.
*Establish a household rule that the TV and other electronic devices (including cell phones, MP3 players and game systems) stay off during homework time.
*Set aside ample time for homework.
*Be available to answer questions and offer assistance, but never do a child's homework.
*Take steps to help alleviate eye, neck and brain fatigue by taking periodic breaks.
*If your child is struggling with a particular subject, and you aren't able to help him/her yourself, consider a tutor.
In many households, bedtime (much like homework) can be an ongoing battle, but ensuring your child gets enough sleep is critical to his/her growth and development.
"Healthy sleep - meaning sufficient amounts of uninterrupted, regularly scheduled sleep - allows children to function optimally when they are awake. It supports a state in which they are most receptive to and interactive with their environment; have the greatest attention span; and learn the most," says Holyoak. "Not getting enough healthy sleep can result in memory problems, difficulty focusing, weakening of the immune system, depression and even obesity."
While the amount of sleep a child requires can vary depending on a number of factors, consider these general guidelines when determining bedtimes:

Following Monday night's game against Toronto, one sentiment was clear: conditioning has everything to do with the Rangers winning streak.
Having played back-to-back games, the Rangers mustered an impressive third period by scoring four goals and looking as if they were on three days rest.
Head Coach John Tortorella attributed the early season success to the work the players put in during training camp and on their own during the offseason.
Captain Chris Drury echoed those remarks, saying that the team's confidence is knowing in the back of your head that you are a well conditioned team and have worked hard to get there.
Tonight, the Rangers will see if that conditioning can continue to pay dividends as they host the upstart Los Angeles Kings.
L.A. is 4 - 1, having only lost on opening night to the Phoenix Coyotes. Since then, they have taken down San Jose, Minnesota, St. Louis, and the Islanders.
The Kings are led by young star center Anze Kopitar, who has four goals and six assists in the five games.
Rugged forward Ryan Smyth has also been rejuvenated, tallying four goals and four assists thus far.
On defense, the Kings have seen tremendous improvement from 19 year old Drew Doughty. Doughty leads all Kings' defenseman in scoring with two goals and four assists.
Free agent acquisition Rob Scuderi brings leadership to the young group who has also seen success from Jack Johnson and Sean O'Donell.
One potential question mark for the Kings is their goaltending. It appears that backup Erik Ersberg will get the start tonight as Jonathan Quick gets a night off to prepare for tomorrow's contest in Detroit.
For the Rangers, they will sport nearly the same lineup as the past couple games, with the possible exception of Donald Brashear getting a break in favor of Aaron Voros.
Henrik Lundqvist will get the start tonight.
