A fast-moving brush fire lit up the area north of Castleview Hospital on Sunday evening and threatened some structures in the area before fire fighters from the state, Price and Helper were able to get it under control.
The fire started near a cul-de-sac in Westwood Subdivision and took off from there, according to Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont. No cause had been determined as of Monday afternoon.
It was a fire that had potential to cause some real destruction, so Price sent three engines to the scene, Helper an engine and a water tender, and one state brush truck was sent to fight the blaze.
The fire, which began between 7:30 and 8 p.m., did more than just burn brush though. It torched a billboard near Highway 6. Bedont thought between $6,000 and $8,000 in damage was done to the sign.
As the fire progressed people, stopped along streets and along Highway 6 to watch it. Smoke could be seen throughout the area and later in the evening almost every resident could smell it.
"We are still trying to determine the cause," said Bedont on Monday morning. "We have a BLM investigator out there right now and what he finds will determine whether I will put a call in to the state fire marshal to have them come out."
A fire erupted again Monday afternoon adjacent to the burned area and fire fighters responded.

Chicago got its first real snow of the season this morning, so I think it's just the right day for this…. An ode to print media, young girls, and small towns.
I used to deliver newspapers.
First it was the Chicago Daily News, then, when that venerable afternoon institution folded, the Chicago Tribune. I was about 11, 12-ish (the age my boy is now, and I occasionally ask him why he hasn't yet found gainful employ), though I'm not sure of the exact stop and start dates.
I had a paper-girl's bike with a huge metal basket in front and metal panniers on the sides; if I didn't remove the papers evenly as I went along, the bike would topple over, newspaper sections slithering out and sliding across lawns. Sometimes it would topple over anyway.
I always placed each individual paper carefully between the storm and front doors; if a person's storm was locked, I would find some other safe place to tuck it. By the end of my route, my hands would be blackened by the newsprint, a particular kind of smeary black that dries the skin and transfers itself onto everything you might subsequently touch.
I hated it.
Not just the filthy hands, but the whole experience — oh my God, I hated delivering newspapers.
I remember promising myself that I would never allow my own children to do it, because if they did, I would occasionally get saddled with the task, and I was not going to ever deliver papers again — and this from a girl growing up in a house where the mom only ever took over your job if you were literally unable to do it. It was, after all, my job — unlike some newspaper pansies, my mom didn't throw me in the station wagon to get it done of a morning.
That was the worst of it, really. The mornings.
I didn't like the afternoon Daily News route — it was lonely and boring, and kind of embarrassing, if you ran across someone from school, or some damn friendly adult that you knew. I would talk to myself, make up stories, essentially play make-believe at an age when I think most kids weren't doing that anymore. It was on my paper route that I was Magna Woman, a superhero whose power came from a mysteriously exotic (if cheap) ring that I had purchased at the Field Museum on a field trip.
But the morning route — oh good God, that was just a whole other level of misery. For a child in the Midwest, it not only meant god-awful alarm-clock setting, it also mostly meant Dark.
Even if dawn arrived while I was out, I started my day in pitch black, a lighting scheme that at the time still frightened me. I seem to recall having to talk myself down daily from some inchoate fear.
And the cold. Oh God, I was always cold! I don't have a single memory of not being cold on my morning route — and surely there were spring and summer mornings, as well. But they don't remain. Just the cold, and the dark, and the lonely streets, and the whirligig mind of an imaginative 11 year old. Twelve year old.
One day it was about like it is as of this writing (the high for Chicago: 8, the actual temperature: 2, and the windchill? -20), and when I got to the Currens' house, I found a note. "Emily – Ring the bell. There's hot cocoa waiting."
The Currens were my grandparents' good friends, lovely people who I was always happy to see myself whenever I happened to helping out at one of my grandmother's famous and well-loved grown-up parties. I would walk around in my best outfit with trays of crackers, and some people would look me in the 11 year old eyes, and some people wouldn't. Some people would know the right way to be friendly, and some people wouldn't. The Currens were always in the first group.
But it's my sense that the Currens would have made hot cocoa for anyone who happened to arrive with a folded newspaper in sub-zero weather — they were that kind of people. When I think of them, pretty much all I see are belted robes, broad smiles, and eyes like welcome signs.
I sat, I drank, and Mr. Curren took me around on the rest of my route (here the grandparent connection might have played a role). If memory serves, they did this for me one other time, as well, each time saying "Oh, you're welcome, Emily! Any time!"
And I know they meant it, because the one time I knocked in spite of there not being a note, in spite of the fact that it was a balmy 17 degrees or maybe 23, they wiped the sleep from their eyes and put the pot on the stove. They were good people, the Currens.
God I hated that route. But there remains within me a powerful sense of pride that I did it, that I was good at it, and that I later got a chance to actually write for the paper that I had delivered. For the girl with the topple-over bike, that was quite a heady thing.
And the Currens gave me cocoa and smiles on days like today, in the middle of coldest, darkest winter.

Ponyo, Bag-Making, and Dipping My Toes in the Waters of Embroidery
Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope you're enjoying your weekend.
Before I get to any sewing pics, just wanted to share that we took the kids to see "Ponyo" today. What a beautiful, sweet little movie. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, and I wasn't sure if it would hold my kids' attention -- we've never seen a Miyazaki movie before, despite all of the good things I've heard -- but they sat through the entire thing! I thoroughly enjoyed it, too ... so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! Is it weird that I saw great ideas for quilt fabric colors and patterns throughout the entire movie ... ??
Quilt blocks took a bit of a backseat this week to some bags. It all started when my sister-in-law asked me to make her a bag. She is getting ready to start taking golf lessons, and she wanted a pretty, feminine bag to carry her golf shoes in. I said "sure", but wasn't really sure what to make. I haven't attempted zippers yet, so I was looking for something to help me avoid them.
Then I came across the Charming Drawstring Beach Bag tutorial over at the Moda Bake Shop. It seemed perfect! I had a charm pack of Soiree on hand, so I quickly pulled this together:
I think it turned out great! It was super easy to make. And I appreciate the fact that it's machine-washable, since those golf spikes will undoubtedly get a bit muddy from time to time.
I was also inspired recently by Kathy of Pink Chalk Studios' blog post about the "Easiest Accessory Bags Ever" pattern by Fig Tree Quilts. That Kathy is a marketing genius ... it didn't take long for me to have that pattern (and some Aiden Natural Linen to go with it) in my shopping cart.
I had already made a smaller sized bag from the pattern as a thank-you gift for my mom for watching the kids a few weeks back. (Bummer I didn't get a picture of it -- I made it out of "Patisserie" and it was really, really nice ... if I do say so myself!). This time I decided to make the large laundry bag. I found 2 fat quarters of some orange "Summer in the City" prints in my wife's pile of fabrics that she had purchased a while back for her bag-making and decided to put them to good use.
Finally, because I was on such a tear, I decided to make another little Bake Shop bag, but this time I adjusted the pattern a bit. I happened to have 18 charm squares of "Neptune" laying around, and adjusted the dimensions of the bag to make it a bit narrower, a bit shorter, and I used some cuts of linen for the bottom instead of a row of charm squares.
I love how this one came out. It might just become a special carrier for my Doll Quilt Swap quilt!
There wasn't just bag-sewing going on at Casa Quilt Dad this week. Here are two little 5.5" square blocks that I made this week for Sudi-Laura, the winner of this month's "Baggie Bingo" draw over at the Mini Quilt in a Bag swap group:
Gotta love that Deer Valley!
Finally, I mentioned in my last post that I've been experimenting with something new -- embroidery! I've been really inspired by folks who incorporate embroidery into their quilt designs (see this and this and this and -- especially -- this), so I thought it might be a good skill to add to my repertoire!
I thought I'd start out small with a pillow. I asked my daughter what she might like on a pillow, and she said a cat. So I pulled this pattern from the "Sublime Stitching" book and got to work.
Not too shabby for a first-timer, eh? I think I cut the fabric a little too close to the yellow border, but oh well. The funniest part? As soon as I finished, my daughter informed me that she doesn't like cats anymore. Now she wants a unicorn. With 2 daughters, I guess I'd better get used to that. I think there's enough space in between the cat's feet and the yellow border to embroider a little girl's name. Maybe this will become a baby gift ...
(Great free embroidery patterns here, by the way.)
Before I get started on the unicorn, I have to finish this. Yes, I've already started a second embroidery project. No intended recipient in mind yet ... just want to keep practicing. I was TOTALLY inspired by this (and this and this). Free pattern here.
How about you? Been itching to try anything new lately?

i also was enticed by the pink chalk marketing machine and bought the pattern too... now just to make something! I found these chambray/white striped RL sheets I'm going to use for the bottom at a thrift store (while unsucessfully looking for pillowcases!)ReplyDelete
Looking forward to the wonky log cabin QA!
Those are nice bags! When you finish with the unicorns, your daughter will be on to something new. And yes, Deer valley is great.ReplyDelete
Had to just tell you John.ReplyDelete
My, Mr just turned 5, was climbing all over me as I was scrolling down your page. He saw the Deer Valley blocks (just got me some, woo hoo) and said 'hey Mum, that looks like a piece of Art'!!! Love those moments.
Looking forward to the wonky cabins.
Gorgeous bags. I have the same problem when it comes to zippers, and know many quilters do. When I think of all the things I`ve managed to learn, it is strange that I somehow refuse to try and learn zippers.....ReplyDelete
Great bags. My daughter is off to college and she needs a laundry bag....I think you have inspired me to make her one. Nice looking embroidery piece you did. I'm sure your daughter's ideas will give you lots of practice.ReplyDelete
Great bags! And I love that deer valley fabric. If I keep seeing it on here I finally will have to buy some for my stash, I won't be able to resist. Can't wait to see your elephant!ReplyDelete
applique. some serious applique project... but i probably won't do it... I do a little here and there but that's all I can manage right now. good for you for trying something new! I had itchy fingers for a small hand quilting project yesterday so i threw something together just so i had something... I like that kind of gratification! I got your flying geese block! love it!thanks john!ReplyDelete
Lovely, every single thing is just lovely! If you like this new embroidery kick you are on and want to see something really fun here is a link to a book you may like... http://www.amazon.com/Doodle-Stitching-Fresh-Embroidery-Beginners/dp/1600590616ReplyDelete
My sister-in-law gave it to my daughter and I stole if from her because she is not interested in sewing right now...too busy working to save up money for grad school!:) So I win.
I hope you asked before you scooped up that fabric from Mrs Quilt Dad's stash. Otherwise you might be in some serious trouble.ReplyDelete
I love the Neptune bag.
My 5 yr old son is the same way. I just finish making him a sweet wool felt spaceship and he informs me that he is now into knights, so I get him some playmobil knights and then he's into superheros . . . sigh. I've given up trying to keep up.
Sweet cat embroidery.
I've been considering taking up knitting. The main thing that's stopping me is the idea of starting another stash . . . I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my beading stash.
Here's an idea - just put a horn on that cute kittie........*S*ReplyDelete
Or learn to stitch faster.
btw...I don't think I ever heard back from you when I sent MY summer project....the log cabin circles. What's up with that?
Great bags, and cute embroidery! You have such great taste in fabric.ReplyDelete
Hi, I like the look of your bags and really like the fabric choices. I am about to start a couple of bags but I need to complete a baby quilt for a wee girl who is about to arrive, and I need to sort of the knitting that is just not working....ReplyDelete
Cheers from Scotland. I am new to blogging so pop by if you would like
The bags are way cool. Love the embroidery. The elephant it too cut!ReplyDelete
So glad you enjoyed our pattern. Love your bags. Love your blocks.ReplyDelete
Re-inspired to make bags with my own munchkins!
Happy Sewing,
I highly recommend any of the Miyazaki movies! I've seen most of them, and they all have wonderful stories and lessons. And I totally get that you got inspired to create because of Ponyo. The visuals and colors Miyazaki uses do the same to me.ReplyDelete
As far as trying something new.. My DQS 7 quilt is all new for me: a round top, a fully-self designed paper-piecing border, fusible applique, and some beaded embellishing.
your embroidery looks great! i just did my first embroidery on a pillow too! :)ReplyDelete
Love the bags and well done on finally getting the embroidery bugReplyDelete
Love and hugs Gina xx
Great blog! Nice to find other crafty guys out there. Great taste in fabric too!ReplyDelete
Nice job on the totes. They are fun aren't they? I need to make some up for some gifts (upcoming birthdays, etc.).
Take care,
Look at you GO!! Love your fearless attitude--your embroidery is great:)ReplyDelete
Really beautiful bags too!
I saw you signed up for the Tea Towel Tour!! me too.ReplyDelete
WOW!, I've just stumbled on your blog and am blown away with your talent. I love the colours and the patterns. I especially love those wonky blocks. I'm going to try some of those. I've never known a man who quilts!ReplyDelete
I saw Ponyo this weekend, too. I loved all of the underwater shots...I got lots of color inspiration from it too.ReplyDelete
Great job on the embroidery! I love how your elephant is coming along
Your bags are great John!! I've made a few from that Fig Tree pattern too...they are wonderful gifts!ReplyDelete
After being offline for 6 months, it was really nice to check out your blog again and see all the cool things you're up to. Love the idea for golf shoe bag. :)ReplyDelete
You always make the coolest stuff, seriously you have a good eye for color!ReplyDelete
I have a 7 & 8 year old, they love any movie that Miyazaki makes, we are going to see Ponyo tonight and we are all so excited. You have to get some of his other movies for your kids, they are all wonderful, start with My Neighbor Totoro.
And the moleskin idea is great, I am copying you :D Embroidery is addicting, you have been warned.
I love all the embroidery you are doing! It is beautiful! I think I need try it out.:)ReplyDelete
The bags are great, and addictive to make, I know. But the embroidery...that is something I've been wanting to try and just haven't jumped in and done yet. You inspire me.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, I'm so thrilled you liked the elephant pattern! You are going to LOVE embroidery - but, like other have said, it is quite addictive so watch out.ReplyDelete
You have absolutely inspired me to try another quilt. It has been about a year since I have tried a quilting project but now I feel like I need to give it a go once again. Thanks!
wow,Amazing bags ..ReplyDelete
i like all the bags and really like the fabric choices....
You cannot go wrong on the best security systems
Love Miyazaki. Howl's moving castle was great, but also check out Kiki's Delivery Service.ReplyDelete
Love the blocks. They're very fresh!
I have also been inspired by all the embroidery. i have been wanting to try my hand at it. How did you get started? Did you find a tutotial on basic stiches?ReplyDelete
They look great by the way.

An analyst has come to the conclusion that T-Mobile's Garminfone has not been doing well at all due to its low sales. This could be because the people don't want to have to do anything with a device which is a more or less limited GPS-oriented handset, even though the device runs Android.
The Garminfone is average, with a capacitive 3.5-inch touch screen, a camera of 3 megapixels, 3G, Wi-Fi and a microSD slot. Though these features are not enough to win over customers, and it does not help at all, when you come to know that the Garminfone has no flash with its camera. The only thing Garmin was banking heavily on, was its turn-by-turn navigation and maps, which could have made the appeal to people to ditch their personal navigation devices.
Morgan Keegan analyst Yair Reiner, surveyed close to 50 stores of T-Mobile, and the figures he came across were not in the least satisfactory. It is true that there have been no official announcements regarding Garmin sales, but Reiner's conclusions can be deemed like a brick. Many sales associates spoke highly of it and claimed that it had the best navigation functionality of any cell phone even before it was released. But days after the release, it has not generated interest from the stores, which hampered sales and others had not sold any despite displays being setup and several sold a few. The sales have been extremely low.
There are many causes attributed to the woefully low sales of the Garminfone; as the Android 2.2, with a free turn-by-turn navigation with the Google Navigation systems, has a major role to play in this. The best way for Garmin to perk up sales is to come up with some killer hardware designs. There are many devices which provide GPS services, the same as the Garmin, and the Garmin needs to come up with something that will give it an edge over the others.

The University of Oregon ushered in a new era of women's basketball with the announcement of Paul Westhead as the program's sixth head coach on March 26, 2009.
Entering his fifth year at the helm, Westhead will look to rebound from an injury-plagued 2012-13 season and recapture his early success with the Ducks.
To help in the endevour, Westhead will have the services of sophomore Jillian Alleyne. The Pac-12 Freshman of the Year is back after leading the Ducks in scoring (13.0), rebounding (11.9) and blocked shots (1.3). The 6-foot-3 forward grabbed 376 rebounds during the 2012-13 campaign, the second most in single-season school history. She ranked No. 7 in the NCAA in rebounds per game and was 10th among freshmen in scoring. Westhead also returns guards Laura Stanulis and Lexi Petersen, who both missed last season with injuries, in addition to starters Ariel Thomas, Danielle Love, Jordan Loera and multi-sport star Liz Brenner.
Westhead wasted little time instituting his fast-pace and up-tempo style of play after signing on with the Ducks. After winning just nine games prior to his arrival, Westhead led the 2009-10 squad to an 18-16 record, the program's best mark since 2005. In his first year on the job, Westhead's offense produced a program record 2,767 points, while the Ducks also set a new conference record knocking down 284 three-pointers.
During his first two years at Oregon, the Ducks finished among the top-15 in the nation in scoring, averaging 81.4 points (2010, 2nd) and 73.3 points per game (2011, 15th). In fact, during that two-year stretch, the Ducks averaged 79.0 points per game overall, outdone only by Oral Roberts (84.7 ppg) and Gonzaga (82.7 ppg). In each of his first three seasons, Oregon led the Pac-12 in 3-pointers made.
In his first four seasons on the job, Westhead produced three all-conference guards in Micaela Cocks (2010), Taylor Lilley (2010) and Nia Jackson (2011). In addition, forward Amanda Johnson earned all-conference recognition (2012) and twice was named honorable mention all-league (2010, 2011). Alleyne (2013) was an honorable mention selection last year, in addition to her all-freshmen honors.
He is perhaps best known for his historic tenure as the head coach of the Loyola Marymount men's basketball program.

The war between good and evil is a constant battle of wits. Though the law may create devices and technology to prevent and halt criminal activity, criminals will try and find ways to conquer what stands in their way. And this is exactly what's happening with cell phones today. Cell phones may seem like harmless means of communication, but when fallen into the wrong hands, they become essential tools for the criminal mastermind.
Cell Phone Cameras
For a while, camera phones were actually helping to catch criminals. Citizens were taking the law into their own hands, recording robberies and other felonies, as they happened, and turning them into the police. But criminals have smartened up. Now, criminals are using camera phones to assist in robberies! It is a cold, calculated method of stealing. One gang member will photograph potential victims as they walk into the bank and choose the ones withdrawing the largest sums. Another gang member will wait outside until informed of who their target is. Once they know, they will follow that person and eventually rob them. Because of the increasing numbers of robberies of this nature, especially in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, police officials are urging banks to enforce a no cell phone policy.
Prepaid Cell Phones a.k.a "Burners"
Yet another useful and highly perilous tool for criminal activity is the prepaid cell phone. It's cheap, disposable and cannot be traced. Moreover, within the last year, terror suspects in Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and Texas were arrested with hundreds of prepaid cell phones at one time. The concern is that criminals are making a lot of money, which is going unreported and that money could end up funding terrorist organizations. Because prepaid cell phones facilitate criminal activity, several states as well as many other countries around the world, want to pass laws forcing consumers to provide identification such as a passport when buying prepaid cell phones. Doesn't sound like such a bad idea, however there is great concern that this would be yet another intrusion on people's privacy.
Wiretapping used to be an effective way of tracking criminals but now with the help of VoIP programs such as Skype, police have a much harder time getting through the red tape of wiretapping Skype-to-Skype communications. For one, Skype's 256-bit Rijndael encryption is twice as thick as the one used for processing credit cards, making it nearly impossible to crack. Criminals in Italy have been using Skype and other VoIP systems for purposes of arms and drug trafficking, prostitution rings and organized crime. Skype will not share its encryption data with authorities, and as of yet, Internet telephony companies are not required to cooperate with police. A serious advantage to the criminal element, the National Security Association is offering hackers a reward if they can break the encryption key.
Cell Phone Jammers
Cell phone jammers were created with the purpose of preventing cellular eavesdropping. Now really, who would require such complete assurance of privacy? Not to say that anyone particularly wants someone listening in on their phone conversations, but we all have a pretty good idea who this device is useful to. Phone jammers are actually illegal in the United States, though other countries do allow them under certain circumstances. In countries where jammers are legal, corporations can use them to enhance security. Other countries use them to create a quiet atmosphere, such as in churches or theatres.
Even though they are illegal, criminals in the U.S. have been able to acquire them through the Internet. Police in Georgetown, Massachusetts, suspect that a robber may have employed the use of a cell phone jammer in order to prevent victims from dialling 911 from their cell phones. The robber was said to have been carrying a suspicious gym bag, which may have contained the jammer, but it exploded before any investigation could be made

Wigs Make Comeback. Cicely Tyson is a young New York actress who has appeared in several off-Broadway productions, including "The Blacks", controversial play which set a record off-Broadway run. While Cicely usually wears her hair cropped short, there are times when she, a model as well as an actress, finds a wig a necessity. Wigs are becoming tremendously popular today among all women--from the society matron to the budget-conscious housewife, and there are wigs to fit all pocketbooks and tastes.

Prices vary based on delivery destination (it's a tax thing), so please change it if you're not shipping within United States as it might affect the price! (Why?)
The Glenrothes distillery is quite substantial; its ten stills have a capacity of over 5.6 million litres annually. The distillery runs at 90% of this and stores the maturing single malt whisky in the sixteen onsite warehouses. Despite this, Glenrothes preserves a rather artisan identity and have shied away from producing a traditional range. Perhaps it is down to current licensees, Berry Brothers and Rudd, the famed London wine merchants. Glenrothes single malt whiskies are offered as a range of vintages. The ties with Berry Bros run deep, for during the 1920s they released Cutty Sark, the number one top-selling blended Scotch in America, in which Glenrothes is a major component. The Glenrothes distillery was founded in 1878 by James Stuart and Co. The group had licensed Macallan a decade prior. James Stuart, a principle of the group, left to focus his efforts on the Macallan distillery and three remaining members of the syndicate; William Grant, Robert Dick and John Cruickshank, formed William Grant and Co. Production commenced in 1879. In 1887, William Grant and Co merged with Islay Distillery Co to form Highland Distillers Company. This included the Glenrothes distillery, as well as the Northern Ìleach distillery, Bunnahabhain. The capacity was increased with the addition of further stills in 1898. A year prior to this, the distillery had suffered a devastating conflagration. In 1922, Glenrothes experienced another disastrous fire; the No 1 bonded warehouse was destroyed and with it, 2,500 casks of Scotch whisky was set ablaze. During the latter part of the 20th century the Glenrothes distillery was gradually extended until the final two stills were installed in 1989. The official range is good and there have been several independent releases to boot.

So, I'm totally new at PHP and Drupal, so if this is a newbish question, I completely acknowledge the fact. However, I do need some help, so anything would be appreciated.
Currently, I'm working on this snippet of code:
$article_date = $matches[0];
$article_timestamp =date('Y-m-d', strtotime($matches[0]));
drupal_set_message(t("Article timestamp: ".$article_timestamp));
drupal_set_message(t("date content: ".$matches[0]));
The general code takes an .xml file and searches for this: <date>2012-09-21</date>
This the preg_match statement.
What I'm trying to do with drupal is have the article that's being posted to a drupal run website is
$node->created = $article_timestamp;
But it outputs: 1969-12-31
This is -1 in unix time, the moment before the Unix epoch began. I set $article_timestamp to -1 just to check.
Why is it doing this? I'm trying to have the article authored on the date it was posted, but I can't figure out how. Another variant is setting $article_timestamp = strtotime($matches[0]) but that sets the date to the current day.
What is weird is that if I do this:
$article_timestamp = strtotime($fixed_date);
drupal_set_message(t("from fixed to variable:".$article_timestamp));
It works properly. If someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. And if you need any more info, I'll be glad to give it.

Indian Spiced Lentils with Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe
I had a few bags of lentils in the house, and attempted to make a chicken and lentil stew last week. I really like Indian spices, and thought that if I threw some in the pot I'd get a tasty lentil soup/stew with chicken.
I didn't get soup.
It could have been because I was on the phone, and helping the kids with homework, and frantically folding laundry while I was assembling ingredients and writing down quantities, but it also could just be that I estimated the liquid-to-solid ratio wrong.
The result was not a soup or stew, but instead a tasty and hearty lentil dish with a bit of chicken here and there for some added protein. If you would prefer to omit the chicken and keep this vegetarian, that's perfectly fine. I wouldn't bother to adjust the liquid, but instead keep the lid off of the slow cooker while you set the table. The extra liquid will absorb into the lentils and the steam will evaporate.
We all gobbled this up---which just shows that sometimes your accidental flubs in the kitchen can be a great success!
The Ingredients.
serves 4, with a bit leftover
2 cups lentils (mine were brown)
3 cups chicken broth (you could use veggie)
3 cups water
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 cup diced celery
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon corriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can diced chiles (hot or mild, your choice)--no need to drain
1 tablespoon dried parsley (or 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh)
2 large chicken breast halves
The Directions.
Use a 4 to 5 quart slow cooker. Rinse the lentils under cold water until it runs clear. Dump into the slow cooker. Add broth and water. Add diced onion and celery. Add all spices, the garlic, and chiles. Stir to combine.
Lay 2 largeish chicken breast halves on top of the assembled food. My breast halves were frozen solid.
Cover and cook on low for about 7 hours, or on high for about 4. Before serving, remove chicken from the slow cooker, chop it up, and stir back in. Serve over basmati rice with corn tortillas or naan wedges (not gluten free) as scoopers.
The Verdict.
Although I was initially pretty bummed that my soup wasn't a soup, this turned out really tasty, and all of us enjoyed our dinner. The Indian spices were pronounced, but not spicy. Adam added a bit of spice to his with some red chile flakes, but I abstained (to ward off pregnancy heartburn. in case you were wondering. which you probably weren't, but there you go.).
I heated the leftovers up for lunch and my almost-5-year-old and her friend happily ate them.

I know Im gonna sound really lame, but keep in mind that I just recently started cooking. what are lentils?
- October 8, 2009 at 8:39 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Pixie, not lame. They are cute teeny tiny beans that are round. You can find them in the dry bean area at the grocery store (usually where the rice is housed).
The nice things about lentils is that they are uber cheap, filled with fiber, and you don't need to soak them.

I set this up on high about 6 hours ago, and the lentils are still pingy and the liquid is not absorbed. I frequently have trouble with things like lentils and black beans not cooking all the way, even after hours and hours. Any suggestions?

This sounds really delicious and I'll keep it in mind. This actually happened to me with another dish (the whole "it's not a soup!" thing) and we all scarfed it up anyway too. :) Sometimes mistakes are a good thing.

My crockpot beans turned into bean soup the other night. That is definitely one thing that's nice about the crockpot - either way, it's edible :)
- October 8, 2009 at 5:10 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Beth,
where do you live? I'm at sea level, and have beans soften early, but they will take a much longer time in high altitudes. I've heard reports of sometimes needing to double the time. I'd switch your pot over to low, and check every 2 hours or so until they are bite-tender.
The pot on low will eventually heat up to the same temp as high, so putting it on low is just fine.

Hi anon,
it's best to have your pot click over to warm when the food is fully cooked. the warm feature will keep the food warm for up to an additional 12 hours.

I was so glad to see this recipe the other day. I had no idea what to make for dinner and I had almost all of the ingredients in the house. I made it and cooked it on high for 4 hours. Everything was cooked and best of all, it was SOUP. I don't know why yours wasn't soup unless you didn't follow your own directions. ; ) Thanks! It was delish.

I made this for dinner last night and it was yummy! Mine was soupy though. I used the extra liquid to cook the rice - so it all turned out ok. Weird that yours wasn't soupy. Thanks for all the great recipes!

I made this and we loved it! I confess I tweaked it a bit, because of some comments that said theirs came out soupy, and I didn't want soup. So I reduced the liquid by a cup and a half and added 1/2 c. of brown rice. That took care of any extra liquid, and everything was still cooked beautifully! Yum - thanks very much for posting this!!!!

This so reminds me of our family's 'standard' quick fair - Rice n lentils! I love that they cook in the same amount of time (using brown rice) & is super easy. (stovetop ~ 1 hour)
I use 2 parts rice to one part lentils, onions & garlic, cumin & salt, & if I want to add veggies, (carrots, potatoe, celery, golden beets) chop those & add ~ halfway thru the cooking time. Occ add peppers or tomatoes, but usually the above. Oh, & of course a bay leaf (from my own tree), & sometimes a piece of kombu (kelp)!

I made this yesterday and it was my first experience with cooking and eating lentils. I cooked mine for about 8 hours on low and it came out like a thick stew. We ate it with rice and plain yogurt. It was quite tasty though next time I would go for the hotter chilies and add a little more spice. Thanks for another great recipe!
- October 26, 2009 at 4:39 AM
I'm with Adam - more spice! It has good flavor, but very mild. I prefer a bolder flavor, but love the consistency, esp. over rice. Yum.

Thirding the spices. We cooked it on high for four hours, and while the lentils were not mush, they still had a little bite to them, and PLENTY of water. (A little tapioca powder thickened it right up though.) However, the spices were very dull; we could only taste cumin. Next time, I'll try some cayenne powder. Still, not bad for my first time eating lentils.

Mine also was soupy. I used red lentils.
I would also add some additional spices...maybe some curry powder. It was very chicken-y.
- November 17, 2009 at 11:20 AM
I can't find coriander anywhere- I've tried three stores today! Darn Arkansas... Anyway, do you think I could substitute something else or just leave it out? I noticed that my curry powder has coriander in it. Would that work?

Made this and we both really enjoyed it. I used 4c of chicken stock (reduced sodium/fat free) and 3c of water and it was a little more like a stew, I get a little nervous with lentils they can turn pasty pretty quickly.
I also forgot the garlic, (realized it at work this afternoon--oops) and I used a 4 oz can of jalepenos because that's what I had in the house. It was good--good spice/heat to it. Served over brown rice, this is a keeper.
Thanks, Steph! Hoping to get your cookbook for Christmas!

I know this may seem like a silly question, but you put the lentils in dry, correct?

hi Afa, they were dry, although I did rinse them under water.

Okay I realize this is an old post to be leaving a comment on, but I have to say how thankful and refreshed I am that I just stumbled onto your blog! I am a new mom and am really enjoying my slow cooker, but am on a constant lookout for new slow cooker recipes. I recently purchased a few slow cooker books to find they use a lot of processed canned items. I really like that you have allergy references and actually use products I use- even the same brands in most cases. My family's health (and budget) are very important to me and I regularly make things from scratch like my beans, broth, hummus, etc. This site is awesome and just what I was looking for. I will have to go get your book now. CONGRATS!!!

I made this tonight and it came out a bit soupy. Not bad, just not what I expected. I even took the top off for 20 minutes or so, but that didn't firm it up. Scooped over rice, it could be eaten on a plate -- no bowl needed.
We liked it but agreed that it could use a bit more oomph in the spice department. Next time, I will try some of the things suggested in the comments.
For years I thought I did not like lentils. Must have just been the particular dish, as these were good.
Thanks for this blog and your book!

This morning was a frantic scramble to get ready for the day. I'd fallen asleep with our oldest last night and didn't make any preps for tonight's supper. At 7:30 this morning, I brought up your site and searched through the chicken recipes. By 8, I'd thrown a bunch of things in the crock pot and we were out the door. I heavily modified it, but this is the recipe we tried. Delish! I even blogged about it... http://rainydayweightloss.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-9th.html
- March 9, 2010 at 3:07 PM
I LOVED this. So delicious. I'll definitely make it again in the future, but I think that next time, I'll add some spinach toward the end to get in some additional veggies. Also - I used a whole can (incl liquid) of JALAPENOS. Wow! Talk about adding some real heat. Might be too spicy for many, but it was perfect for the hubby and I. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
- March 20, 2010 at 7:54 PM
I have this in the crockpot right now and am so excited to try it! My husband is pretty picky but he loves lentils so we'll give it a try! I just wanted to thank you for this amazing website! It has been a real lifesaver for me and i love all the new ideas since im not very creative!

I made this today. I used red lentils, 3 cups of broth, no water, and a grated zucchini, and that was enough liquid/moisture. Didn't have chicken breasts but had some frozen thighs. About 4 1/2 hours on high. It was great! Not soupy, but it definitely would have been if I'd added the extra liquid.
Next time I will use French lentils - just didn't have any today.
- July 12, 2010 at 5:12 PM
I've beencraving lentils for the past few days, but I was sick of the standard lentil soup and wanted something a bit dfferent. As usual, your lovely blog did not disappoint. I love Indian food so, as soon as this recipe popped up, I was sold. Had everything in the cupboard just finished throwing it together. I'm planning on stiring in some Greek yogurt and using toasted pita squares to eat it on. Thanks again for another winner Steph!

I just made this for my family to eat while I was working. My little ones who are very picky and never eat anything, loved this! I used chicken legs instead and I also used red lentils. There is only a little left for me to eat when I get home. My kids are 21 months (twins) and 2 1/2. This is definitely a keeper!
- October 11, 2010 at 3:57 PM
Just made this and it is soupy/ stewy, but still tastes yummy!
- December 13, 2010 at 3:18 PM
Hi, just wanted to post and say I made this too, reducing the water by 1 cup and doubling the spices (except salt -- I just added a little bit more there). It was very good. A bit watery, but when served over rice and with pita, it was not a problem at all. I also used fresh parsley and added chopped fresh spinach at the end (several handfuls). The only thing I would do differently next time is to serve it with Greek yogurt (or stir some in), and possibly add some sort of vinegar. It needs a bit more "tang," in my opinion. But I love spice and flavor more than most.
My frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts came out a bit dry, but I think one was pretty old and perhaps had freezer burn. I'd love to know if Stephanie (or others) generally have luck using boneless skinless breasts in their slow-cookers, or if you recommend using dark meat or bone-in meat.
Thanks for a fabulous, fun site and some great recipes. Easy to tweak and make your own.
- April 6, 2011 at 7:27 AM
This was FANTASTIC. I doubled it, and served it on basmati with peas. YUM YUM YUM. With the doubling, it looks like we will have enough to eat all week for us and the 3 kids.
Awesomeness, in 10 minutes of prep time.
- October 24, 2011 at 5:02 PM
i think i used to much liquid around 6 cups. it did not work for me. too soupy. no taste but may be it will come together tomorrow. i love your site though.i bought all ingridients though. the coriander was almost 7 bucks.

I made this yesterday with a few changes. I used 4 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups water. I left it on low for 8 hours. When I got home I added a little more salt, a chopped fresh tomato, a lot of hot Jamaican curry powder and some garam masala. Then I topped it off with a little sour cream. It was a delicious stew and was not soupy at all. Thanks for an awesome healthy recipe!!

- ani said...
great recipe and i look forward to putting it on tomorrow morning... one thing about all those people who's lentils weren't cooked. it's the salt. when cooking any bean, but especially the lentil, do not salt during the cooking process. it inhibits the beans ability to absorb water, hence the under cooked lentils. in my experience you can salt towards the end of cooking or just before serving.

This is my favorite recipe on your website. It's comforting and the flavors are interesting. I love Indian food and the spices are so good in this, and I love the hearty chicken with lentils combo. My family all enjoys this. Just wanted to let you know that this has become one of my favorite meals!
- March 31, 2012 at 11:10 AM
- s said...
I do this (more or less) but use red lentils and one chicken leg (thigh and drumstick). The chicken flavour is better, and they cook devine in there. I do not put the kale in the slow cooker, I rip it up per your instructions and saute with oil, garlic, salt and pepper, and finely diced white onion, flash steamed at the end of saute with a bit of that chicken broth. Then I make a pile on top each serving, and dust with ground cumin. Dal just means beans/pulses/lentils.

536 AD and all that
"during this year a most dread portent took place. For the sun gave forth its light without brightness… and it seemed exceedingly like the sun in eclipse, for the beams it shed were not clear."
This quote from Procopius of Caesarea is matched by other sources from around the world pointing to something – often described as a 'dry fog' – and accompanied by a cold summer, crop failures and a host of other problems. There's been a TV special, books and much newsprint speculating on its cause – volcanoes, comets and other catastrophes have been suggested. But this week there comes a new paper in GRL (Larsen et al, 2008) which may provide a definitive answer….
It's long been known that tree-rings (such as the one pictured from Arizona) often show an extremely small growth ring for AD 536 (you can count back from the marked AD 550 ring). In fact, if you look at the mean anomaly in a whole range of tree ring constructions, this event stands out along with 1601 and 1815 (known volcanic events) as being exceptional over the last 2000 years.
Average of the high-frequency components of 7 northern European tree ring reconstructions from Larsen et al, 2008. The filtering ensures that uncertainties in long term trends (which are not important in this context) don't confuse the issue.
These data match the written sources quite well. However, tying it to a cause has always been plagued with problems of chronology. An initial attempt to tie this event to a volcanic pulse in the Dye3 ice core in Greenland foundered when the chronology was revised to put it 20 years earlier. However, there has recently been a concerted effort to place all the Greenland ice cores on a common timescale based on annual layer counts (Vintner et al, 2006). Because all the cores are being counted together, ambiguities in one can be corrected by reference to the others. Once the dates have been better established, the sulphate records (which generally show the impact of volcanic aerosols) can be examined to see if they line up. And low and behold, they do:

LISBON – At Thursdays Board of Education meeting members debated the benefits of higher and lower tax levies but decided to hold off on a decision, hoping the state will deliver more aid to the district.
The states final budget for 2013-2014 is due April 1.
The Board is considering a 4-percent increase in the tax levy, raising $3,121,927, or a 5.08 percent increase that would raise $3,154,494.
A 4-percent increase would result in a $173,164 shortfall while a 5.08-percent increase would result in a $140,597 shortfall.
One of the Boards goals is to keep a consistent tax rate, Lisbon Central School Superintendent Erin E. Woods said.
But Ms. Woods also noted the district isnt receiving enough state aid.
Lisbon is projected to receive $6.3 million in state aid, an increase of $127,056 over last year.
Ms. Woods said operating costs, including pensions, are increasing faster than revenue streams.
Lisbon will not be replacing two retiring positions this year in an effort to save money.
We cant continue to cut programs, cut staff and have a negative impact on our students, Ms. Woods said. We have to have a good balance.
Advocating a 5.08-percent increase, Ms. Woods said tax payers would feel it, but its not horrible . The smaller the shortfall, the better in terms of staff and students.
Vice President of the Board Larry Doyle said, I dont want to have to pay any more taxes than I absolutely have to but $140,000 is easier to come up with than $173,000. What are we going to do if we have to start cutting more people?
But support for increasing the levy by 5.08 percent faltered when Board President Blake P. Gendebien said, The 4 percent is important to me.
Mr. Gendebien noted the Board has traditionally kept the tax levy increase under 4 percent a year and said he wants to do everything to keep it there for the 2013-2014 school year.
Business Manager Wendy S. White said she would keep looking at the budget to see what she can find.
Ms. Woods said the school will look into raising the levy by 4.5 percent.
Board Member Scott Walker said, If its just under five [percent] it might be easier to pass [the budget].
Lisbon Central School is looking at a $12.2 million proposed budget for 2013-2014.

Just over a week ago I was honored to spend the weekend amidst a very dynamic group of women from across five states. The Rocky Mountain Region of Soroptimist International held their annual spring conference here in Price.
It has been over 20 years since we were able to host the event and our local club put a year of hard work trying to pull this together.
Since our local community has supported the Price Soroptimist Club in our fund raising efforts to better the lives of women and girls in our community, we wanted to use the conference to give back.
On Friday night we invited the local merchants to stay open until eight and we asked our conference participants to go out to dine and shop on the town. The weather did not cooperate with us, but many ladies braved the brutal wind and cold and hit the shops on main street.
We always worry how our little community is seen through the eyes of outsiders. At times it seems like the media upstate only manage to showcase us in our worst times. But throughout our conference our town and community stepped up and threw out a welcome mat that left our visitors speechless.
When they did find the words to express their feelings, there were words of high praise for everything they encountered. From the store owners and the dining experiences to the mayor's welcome and the Carbon High Vocal Jazz singing group, it was nothing but positive.
The staff and management at the Greenwell Convention Center bent over backwards to make the event a success. Many of the staff including Christie Krompel were there from 6 a.m. to well after 11 p.m. to deal with all the conference needs.
Our own club member put in countless hours and money to put on a tremendous event. Each one who was part of the conferences various committees went above and beyond anything that was expected of them.
As conference co-chair, I get to be graced with the praise from the participants as they offer feedback on the event. I was only a small piece of the huge success that this event was. The credit goes to our Soroptimist club and the town for everything.
Why am I writing about this? Because we don't always get to know how visitors see us. Many times we only hear about the complaints and troubles.
As the weekend drew to a close, quite a few Soroptimists talked with me about coming back to stay and explore the area for a few days. They had never in their wildest dreams thought about it before and were now excited to stay and visit Nine Mile, the Dinosaur Quarry and the local museums.
I know we are not the only conference group that has gotten the red carpet treatment from the town; I would bet its actually the normal way our town rises up to do business daily.
I still want to thank the Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Business Alliance group. Thank-you to Price Mayor Joe Piccolo and all the businesses who welcomed our group with open arms. Also thanks to the Greenwell and staff whose tireless efforts made a big difference.
Finally I am ever grateful to the wonderful women who dedicate their time to be part of the Price Soroptimist Club. Your efforts even beyond this conference make an impact in the lives of women and girls every day.

CANTON St. Lawrence Universitys Sustainability Semester program has received financial assistance from a familiar source.
The J.M. McDonald Foundation recently awarded a grant of $32,000 to renovate a multiuse classroom at the former site of the Cornell Cooperative Extension offices.
Work is under way to renovate a building for use as a residence by the programs 12 students, while the grant will assist in funding creation of classroom space in a neighboring building. In addition to classes, the space will be used by the programs community partners to conduct workshops for students and the community. Program organizers also plan to host visits from local public schools for tours and hands-on activities with the goal of creating an educational model for the community and other institutions.
The McDonald Foundation, based in Evergreen, Colo., has awarded the university several grants in the past for projects ranging from the Johnson Hall of Science construction to funding for athletics facilities.
