Fish (or Vegetable) Soup
Recipe and image from "Vegan Vegetarian Omnivore" by Anna Thomas. Copyright © 2016 by Anna Thomas. Used with permission of the publisher, W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. All rights reserved.
Anna Thomas calls this "the easiest fish soup or stew I know." Despite its name, fish soup is vegan-friendly and vegetable-based. Ladle up the vegetable soup for the plant-based people and add the fish at the last for fishaterians. Either way, "the result is a fresh and lively flavor." It perfectly illustrates the concept of her book, subtitled "Dinner for everyone at the table."
Thomas suggests choosing the freshest fish you find. "Mix several kinds. I've had good results with cod, halibut, sea bass, red snapper (watch for bones), monkfish, scallops, prawns, clams . . ."
3-4 stalks celery (8 ounces), sliced
1 pound small potatoes, cut in wedges or diced
4-5 medium carrots (12 ounces), sliced
3 cups peeled tomatoes, cut up (canned are okay)
2 fennel bulbs (12 ounces), quartered and sliced
1 large red bell pepper (5 ounces), quartered and thinly sliced
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried tarragon or t tablespoon fresh tarragon
2-3 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
6 cups light vegetable broth
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup (1-1/2 oz.) fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, quartered and sliced
1 large leek (5 ounces), white part only, sliced
6-7 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup dry white wine, plus more to taste
about 3 pounds assorted fish and shellfish
crushed red chiles
extra-virgin olive oil
Combine the first 6 vegetables in a large pot with 5 cups water, the bay leaves, tarragon, thyme, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender, and add the fresh parsley.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick pan and sauté the onions in it over medium heat for 10 minutes, until they are limp and beginning to color. Add the leeks and continue sautéing over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until everything is soft and golden. Push the onions and leeks to the edges of the pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the middle, and when it is hot add the garlic and sizzle it for about a minute. Add this mixture to the soup, deglazing the pan with a bit of the broth. Add the white wine, bring the soup back to a simmer for 10 minutes, taste, and correct the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, and crushed red chiles if you like.
Trim your fish if it needs trimming, and cut fillets into cubes or slices. Wash shellfish thoroughly. Do not peel shrimp.
No more than 5 minutes before you want to serve the soup, bring it back to a simmer, remove and discard the bay leaves, and add the fish--denser fish first, more delicate fish last. Simmer only until the fish is opaque and flaking and the shrimp are pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the soup at once, in large bowls, and drizzle olive oil on top of each serving. Add croutons if you like, or have plenty of fresh sourdough bread or garlic toast for dipping.
Serves 8 to 10 as a meal.
A Practical Note . . .This recipe is scaled for a dinner party, enough for 8 to 10. If you are 4 or 5 at the table and planning on leftovers, add half the amount of fish to half the vegetable soup, and repeat this on another night for fresh-tasting soup.
Another Way . . . with a Cheese Crouton The hearty vegan vegetable soup that is the base for my fish soup is delicious on its own, but can also be dressed up with a cheese crouton for the vegetarians at the table. For each crouton: brush a thick slice of baguette with olive oil and toast it in a hot pan, a couple of minutes on each side, until it has golden brown edges. (This can be done in advance.) Top each crouton with a heaping spoonful of shredded Gruyere or a thick smear of fresh goat cheese, and toast under the broiler just until the cheese is hot and melty, 1 or 2 minutes. Drop a crouton on top of a generous bowl of vegetable soup, and serve.
Vegan Tempeh Bacon
No it is not exactly bacon, but it's smoky, sticky, high in protein and animal-friendly. Enjoy and still look Esther the Wonder Pig in the eye.
1 tablespoon white miso
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 ounces tempeh (1/2 package), sliced thin
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except the tempeh. Stir briefly until it forms a smooth but thickish paste.
Lay thinly sliced tempeh strips on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Using a basting brush, paint the miso-maple paste on the tempeh.
Bake for 15 minutes. Flip tempeh strips over, brush with the remainder of the miso-maple paste and bake for another 15 minutes, or until vegan bacon strips are just starting to blacken at the edges and the whole kitchen smells smoky, sexy and fabulous.
Remove from the oven, add to salads, make vegan BLTS, chop and add to tofu scrambles, enjoy any way you like.
Makes 12 to 15 strips, serving 2 to 4.
Quinoa With Mint Pesto and Spring Greens
Although kosher and vegan aren't always the same thing, Rabbi Frank and his family are happily both. Now is the only time it's a challenge "because of the vastly limited vegan fare that is kosher for Passover," he says. Quinoa saves the day in this bright, springy and kosher for Passover main course salad.
1-1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed*
3 cups water or vegetable broth
1 cup cilantro leaves
1 cup mint leaves
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup walnuts
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
1 bunch arugula
1 bunch spinach
Bring vegetable broth or water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add quinoa. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid and has sprung their little endosperm tails. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
In a food processor, briefly pulse cilantro, mint, garlic and walnuts till they form a great, green paste.
Drizzle in olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Add lemon juice and sea salt and pepper to taste.
Toss quinoa with 3 tablespoons of mint pesto. Reserve the remaining pesto (it keeps covered and refrigerated for several days). Quinoa may be made a day ahead at this point and kept covered and refrigerated. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before serving, to bring out best flavor.
Just before serving, toss quinoa with chopped celery, arugula and spinach. Add another dollop or two of pesto, if desired.
Serves 6. Doubles easily.
*Rinsing rids the quinoa of saponins, the ancient grain's natural, protective bitter coating.
Vegan Shepherd's Pie Recipe with Kale
Recipe used with permission from Glue and Glitter.
4 small potatoes, cooked
3/4 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk
2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, plus 2 additional tablespoons for olive oil, to saute
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 onion, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 block firm or extra firm tofu, drained, pressed and diced
1 bunch dinosaur kale, chopped
1/2 cup dinosaur corn kernels - fresh, frozen, or canned is fine
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup water
cube vegetable bouillon (low sodium is fine, if you prefer)
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mash the potatoes with the soy milk, the 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
In a Dutch oven or large ovenproof caserole, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium high heat. Add the onions, carrots, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to brown, about 5 minutes.
Add diced tofu.
Cook for a few minutes, then add the remaining ingredients. Give everything a good stir, cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium low, and let everything simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until the kale turns bright green and start to wilt.
Turn off the heat. Using the back of spoon, smooth and pat down the veggie-tofu mixture. Top with mashed potatoes and spread to cover.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the potatoes start to brown on top. Let the shepherd's pie rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Sorrel-Freekeh Tabouli
Asbell urges you to wash the sorrel carefully. Grit can lurk in these richly lemony leaves.
1/2 cup cracked freekeh
1 cup water
1 cup (gently packed) sorrel leaves, ribs removed
1 cup fresh mint leaves, also gently packed
1 lage clove garlic
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, lots of cracked black pepper
1/2 cup diced seedless cucumber
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup chopped chives or scallions
In a small saucepan with a lid, bring the freekeh and water to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Check it in 10. If your burner doesn't go low enough, it may have boiled off the water too quickly. Just add more, cook for the 20 and then let stand for 10 minutes more to absorb. If there's extra water in the pan, drain the grain. Cool to room temperature.
In a food processor, put the sorrel, mint and garlic. Process to mince finely, scraping down and processing again. Add the oil and process until smooth. Add salt and pepper and pulse to mix. Pour over the cooled grain. Add the cuke, tomatoes and chives or scallions, and toss to mix.
Serves 2 as a side, can become a main course with the addition of a cup of cooked garbanzos or a handful of toasted shelled pistachios.
Buckwheat and Almond Tea Cake
Buckwheat, my whole grain pick for Whole Grains Sampling Day is gloriously gluten-free and despite its alarming name, wheatless.
Buckwheat, kin to sorrel and rhubarb, loves many of the same flavors we do -- nuts, apples and maple. They all come together in this tea cake/quick bread. It tastes tantalizingly of caramel but provides a gluten-free high-energy breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. It's a cake to celebrate Whole Grains Sampling Day.
1 cup buckwheat flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup blanched almonds,* toasted and ground
1/3 cup grapeseed, sunflower or other neutral oil
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup evaporated cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 teapsoons powdered sugar for garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil an 8-inch cake pan.
In a large bowl, sift together the buckwheat flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Pour in the ground almonds, Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, gently whisk together grapeseed or other neutral oil, apple sauce, maple syrup, evaporated cane sugar and almond extract.
Pour the apple sauce mixture into the buckwheat and ground almonds. Fold them together with a light hand until flour is entirely incorporated and mixture forms a batter.
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Cake should be sweet-smelling, rich cinnamon brown and spring back when prodded gently with a forefinger.
Let cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
Yield: 8 servings.
*To blanch almonds, pour whole raw almonds into a small heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and leave for 15 minutes. Drain. Rub the almonds between your fingers. Their skins will slip off off, leaving you perfect, bare nut kernels.
Avocados make a wonderful natural masque -- smash and apply to your hands, face, feet or hair. They add fabulousness to salad. Pureed with herbs and other produce, they create creamy chilled summer soups. They're the secret ingredient in many vegan desserts. But when you're talking avocado, don't forget the guacamole.
1 large slice of onion (about 3 tablespoons), chopped fine
½ jalapeno (about 2 teaspoons), minced
2 ripe Florida avocados (about 2 cups)
1 handful cilantro (about ¼ cup), finely chopped
sea salt to taste
½ tomato, diced
In a large bowl, mush avocado together with chopped onion and jalapeno. It's best to do by hand using a large spoon, so you can get the consistency you like. I like my guac on the chunky side. Life is not smooth, your guacamole need not be, either.
Gently mix in cilantro and a generous amount of salt to taste.
Finally, mix in the tomato. Gently.
Serve with chopped vegetables and tortilla chips for dipping.
Serves 4.
Vegan Chocolate Mousse
About that vegan dessert -- here's a rich, decandent and creamy (though creamless) chocolate mousse.
2 ripe Florida avocados (about 2 cups)
1 cup agave
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Spoon mixture into dessert cups or martini glasses.
Chill for one hour before serving.
Serves 6 to 8.
St. Patrick's Day Bubble and Squeak (The Eating of the Green)
The nutty name comes from the sound of potatoes bubbling on the boil and then squeaking in the hot skillet. My potatoes don't always squeak, but my husband loves this dish. I love it because it's quick, easy and a brilliant use of greens.
You can make it even more nutrient-dense by swapping sweet potatoes for baking potatoes, you can ramp up the flavors by adding a tablespoon of nutritional yeast or teaspoon of smoked paprika or curry powder, but you owe it to yourself -- and the Irish -- to try the simple farm-fresh original.
1 pound baking potatoes (about 2), halved and chopped into bite-sized pieces
4 tablespoons vegan butter (such as Miyoko's or Earth Balance)
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch kale, 1/2 cabbage, thinly sliced into ribbons or a dozen or so Brussels sprouts, halved
a handful fresh thyme leaves, optional
sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Add chopped potatoes to a large pot. Cover with about an inch of water. Bring to a boil, then let them bubble away, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender and yield when poked with a fork or knife, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. (Potatoes may be cooked up to a day ahead, then cooled, tightly covered and refrigerated. Remove from fridge and bring them back to room temperature for about an hour before proceeding.)
In a 10-inch skillet, melt vegan butter over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and turn golden. Add chopped kale or cabbage or Brussels sprouts, and give a quick sauté, stirring frequently, until the greens are tender but still bright, about 5 minutes.
Mix in potatoes, mashing and stirring them into the onions and greens. Go for lumpy and hashlike, not fluffy and uniformly mashed. Sprinkle in thyme leaves, if using, and season everything generously with sea salt and pepper.
Use a wooden spoon or spatula to press everything down to form a cake. Cook, without stirring, until potatoes squeak and underside is crusty and golden, about 10 minutes.
Serve at once. Or if you're feeling adventurous, place a large plate over the top of the skillet and carefully turn out the potato cake, so the crusty side is on top. If it comes out in pieces, no worries, just press everything back into place. Then slide it back into the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
Eat. Enjoy.
Serves 4.
Red Velvet Cake (Vegan Chocolate Beet Cake)
Rose is truly a vegan feminist agitator but she's got her tender side -- her husband, her son, all animals -- and chocolate. So in her honor, here's a vegan chocolate cake that's all heart (and a little beet).
Traditionally, red velvet cake is paired with cream cheese icing, easy-peasy now with good commercial vegan cream cheese. Nontraditionally, you can pair it with my chocolate frosting recipe below. Consider sandwiching the layers between a couple dollops of seedless raspberry jam.
1-1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup evaporated cane sugar
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt (optional)
1 smallish beet, cooked* and cooled
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup grapeseed or other neutral oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or other nondairy milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly oil an 8-inch cake pan.
In a bowl, sift together unbleached flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa and optional pinch of salt.
Puree the beet in a blender or food processor. Pour in coffee, oil, vinegar, plant-based or dairy milk and vanilla and process just until they reach a creamy, milkshake-like consistency. With a light hand, mix the wet ingredients into the flour dry till they coalesce and form a thickish batter.
Pour into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
* To roast your beets, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slice the beet root from the greens. Wrap the beets (sans beet greens) tightly in foil. Place in a baking dish and roast for an hour, just as you'd bake a potato. In fact, you can do both at once. Make baked potatoes or sweet potatoes for part of tonight's dinner and throw your beets in there, too. I think of it as culinary hitchhiking, (proper name: passive cooking). Remove from oven and let cool. When beets are cool enough to handle, the skins should slip right off.
Satiny Chocolate Frosting
To ramp up the mild chocolate flavor of the cake, I went with . . more chocolate. My go-to recipe for chocolate frosting recipe is luscious, satiny, easy, quick and vegan.
It keeps covered in the fridge for a week and in the freezer for a month or two, guaranteeing awesome chocolate delivery when you need it. Bring to room temperature then stir and spread on cakes, dip cookies, fruit, your finger.
2/3 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk
4 ounces bitter (unsweetened) chocolate, chopped small
1 cup evaporated cane sugar
4 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Heat soy or almond milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to just boiling. Add chocolate. Turn off heat, cover pot but leave it on the burner for 10 minutes.
Remove lid, stir chocolate, which has now melted, into the nondairy milk. Stir until combined, then pour in evaporated cane sugar. Gently stir in the coconut oil and vanilla, continuing for a few minutes until frosting becomes smooth and glossy.
Let frosting cool slightly then pour into a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or so to thicken, then frost as desired.
Makes 2 cups, enough to frost 2 8-inch layers lavishly.
Sesame Broccoli Miso Soup
Cruise Chef Mark Hanna kindly provided this recipe, which he serves to cruise guests. He kindly cut down portions from a thousand to an amount more manageable for those of us making it at home.
4 to 6 servings
7 cups water
1-1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, florets and stems, peeled, cut bite size
1 tablespoon wakame flakes
3 tablespoons barley miso
3 tablespooons toasted sesame seeds
3 scallions thinly sliced for garnish
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add cut broccoli stems. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add broccoli florets and wakame flakes and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Ladle out 1 cup of soup liquid into a small bowl. Stir in miso and let it dissolve.
Reduce broccoli heat to medium. Add the dissolved miso.
Remove from heat and let stand covered for 1 minute.
Sprinkle on sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve hot.
Variation: Add 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil along with the miso for a richer sesame taste.
Fresh Anaheim and Edamame Spread
Recipe by Jane Esselstyn. Reprinted with permission from "My Beef With Meat"
by Rip Esselstyn, copyright © 2013. Published by Grand Central.
Bright and wonderful over fresh greens, as a dip for your favorite vegetables or slathered on crusty whole grain bread.
2 cups edamame, shelled and cooked
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon yellow miso
1/3 cup Anaheim pepper, seeded and diced
3 dashes crushed red pepper flakes
1 to 2 tablespoons water, for texture
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the water and
salt and pepper.
Blend well and taste. Add water, as needed -- the texture should be drier and fluffier than hummus.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
Makes 3 cups.
Red Lentil, Sweet Potato, and Hemp Burgers
Recipe from "Vegan Under Pressure," reprinted with permission by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Copyright 2015 by Jill Nussinow. All rights reserved.
Taste, nutrition and ease come together in these burgers -- no wonder they're a hit with Nussinow's students and family. Not a curry-head? The Veggie Queen suggests swapping smoked paprika and cumin, instead.
1 cup minced onion
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 cup minced mushrooms, such as shiitake (stems removed) or crimini
1 cup red lentils, rinsed and picked over
1½ sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces (1 medium)
2¼ cups vegetable stock
Vegetable cooking spray, optional
¼ cup hemp seeds
¼ cup finely chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 cup "baby" or quick oats
1 to 4 tablespoons brown rice flour, if needed
Heat a stovetop pressure cooker over medium heat or set an electric cooker to sauté. Add the onion, ginger, and mushrooms and dry sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lentils, sweet potatoes, and stock.
Lock on the lid. Bring to high pressure; cook for 6 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally.
Carefully remove the lid, tilting it away from you. Transfer the lentil mixture to a large bowl and let stand until cool enough to handle, at least 15 minutes.
Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray, if desired; or line the sheet with a silicone baking mat.
When the lentil mixture is cool, mash it with a potato masher or a fork. Stir in the hemp seeds, parsley, cilantro, and curry powder. Stir in the oats. The mixture should come together and form a thick paste; if it is too wet, add brown rice flour by the tablespoon, as necessary.
With wet hands, form into 8 to 10 patties and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn the burgers and bake for another 10 minutes, until they are firm and brown.
Let cool for a few minutes. Serve immediately, refrigerate, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Makes 8 to 10 burgers.
A Simple Loaf of Bread
This simple but satisfying crusty loaf is at home anywhere in the world. Recipe adapted from the wonderful cookbook author Paula Wolfert.
1/2 package Rapidrise yeast (a little more than 1 teaspoon)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1-1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup lukewarm water
corn meal for sprinkling on the baking sheet
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cumin or fennel seeds, if desired
In a large bowl, combine yeast, whole wheat flour, unbleached flour and sugar.
In a saucepan, gently heat the soy milk till lukewarm. Add the cider vinegar. Mixture will curdle slightly. Do not panic.
Slowly add soy milk to the flour. Mix using a food processor or standing mixer, or stir briskly with a large wooden spoon. Pour in warm water and continue mixing until batter is thick. If it feels sticky, work in a few tablespoons more flour. Knead until dough is slightly elastic.
Sprinkle corn meal on a baking sheet. Turn bread dough onto baking sheet and shape into a 7-inch round.
Cover with parchment or a kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 2 hours or until the dough does not spring back when gently poked.
Brush bread with oil and sprinkle sea salt and optional seeds on top. Cover again and let rise for another 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prick the top of the bread lightly with a fork. Place the baking sheet of bread on the middle rack and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 and continue baking for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until loaf is golden and sounds hollow when gently tapped.
Makes 1 small loaf, or about 6 servings.
Spice-Roasted Carrots With Romesco
These roasted carrots are really fabulous on their own, but for a smokin' hot Valentine's Day, I've ramped them up with the whole aphrodisiac arsenal -- arugula, almonds (both crushed and in the romesco sauce) and an array of warming spices.
Serves 4 to
2 pounds carrots, trimmed and peeled, if needed
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons cumin
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
pinch chili powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
sea salt to taste
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
4 cups arugula
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spread carrots on a shallow rimmed baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric and chili powder.
Drizzle olive oil over the carrots. Sprinkle spice mixture over the carrots and toss to coat.
Scatter minced garlic over all, sprinkle with sea salt and roast for 30 minutes, stirring or shaking the baking sheet once or twice, so carrots cook evenly.
Remove and squeeze lemon juice over the carrots.
Mound arugula on a platter, place carrots on top, dollop with romesco sauce and service with a garnish of chopped almonds.
Romesco Sauce
This romesco, made in a food processor or a blender, aims to deliver maximum flavor with minimal time and arcane ingredients. It may be made several days ahead and refrigerated. Allow it to come to room temperature before. Luscious dolloped on these carrots or any roasted vegetable, it's also nice slathered on crusty bread.
Makes about 1-1/2 cups, serving 8 to 10.
2/3 cup blanched, whole almonds
1 mild dried chili, such as an ancho
1 slice baguette, torn into pieces
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 or 2 ripe plum tomatoes or 2/3 cup canned fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/3 cup olive oil
Sea salt to taste
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Pour nuts onto a small, rimmed baking sheet and toast until they darken slightly and smell buttery, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, set chili in a small bowl and add enough boiling water to cover. When cool, drain pepper. Remove and discard seeds and stem.
Drop bread, garlic, chili and almonds into a food processor or blender. Process for a minute or so, until a thick paste forms, scraping the sides. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, paprika and olive oil and pulse. The sauce should be of a hummus-like consistency, thick but not gluey. Add a tablespoon or two of water if it seems too thick. Add sea salt to taste.
Hobo Stew for Pete Seeger
As a guy who hopped trains with Woody Guthrie and hung out at migrant camps, Seeger would have known -- and probably ate -- a fair amount of Hobo Stew. Also called Mulligan Stew, it was canned beans and cadged vegetables heated over an open fire. It has a million variations, including some with canned meat, but it's always cheap, warming and improvised. This version is more elaborate, still cheap and, of course, meatless. Make it at a campsite, in a kitchen or on a hotplate. Sing when you're cooking. It'll taste even better.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked is especially nice)
1 cup red lentils
1 cup water or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups tomatoes, chopped or 1 15-ounce can chopped fire-roasted tomatoes
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional, but I like it)
1 big handful fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 big handful fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 bunch kale, spinach, arugula, chard, any kind of fresh leafy green, chopped
juice of 1 lemon
sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and pepper and stir in the cumin and paprika. Stir together and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes.
Pour in lentils and stir for a minute or so, until they get a nice luster from the oil. Add the water and tomato paste and the chopped tomatoes. Stir so everyone is happy together.
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot and leave everyone to get acquainted for about 12-15 minutes. This is all the time red lentils need to cook.
Check the pot and make sure all the liquid has been absorbed and lentils are paler and tender.
Then add the mint, parsley and fresh greens by the handful, stirring gently to combine. Watch how the greens become "cooked" by the heat of the lentils and onion. Squeeze in the lemon juice and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Enjoy hot or at room temperature. It keeps covered for several days, and the flavor improves.
Serves 4 to 6 or double it and feed a crowd.
Kale and Quinoa
Yummy, speedy, gluten-free and animal-friendly, what's not to love? Tart this dish up with a handful of your favorite chopped herbs, pair it with grilled vegetables or tempeh or serve with a salad. Doubles like a breeze, keeps covered and refrigerated for several days.
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 cups water or vegetable broth
⅓ cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 big bunch kale (about 3 cups), tough stalks removed, leaves sliced into skinny bite-sized ribbons
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 cup white wine or vegetable broth
sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
In a medium-sized pot, bring water or vegetable broth to boil. Add quinoa. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook quinoa for about 12 to 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed and quinoa is plumped. Remove from burner and set aside to cool.
Place a large dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add pine nuts. Toast nuts, stirring or give pan a shake every few minutes, until nuts are golden brown and smell luscious and buttery, about 5 minutes. Watch the pine nuts or they'll burn up. Trust me on this.
Pour toasted pine nuts into a small bowl and set aside.
Pour the olive oil into the skillet and return to heat.
Add chopped garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic turns soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Add kale by the handful and stir until kale is just wilted, 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in quinoa, nutritional yeast wine and season to taste. Cook another few minutes or until heated through. Add toasted pine nuts and toss to combine.
Serves 4.

Westport Police officers today collected toy and cash donations at their annual toy drive at parking lot of The Athletic Toy Factory, 1560 Post Road East. Spokesmen for the Westport Police Department and Police Benevolent Association said due to recent, severe destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy in the immediate area, they anticipate an even greater need among the underprivileged, as well as families who are recovering from catastrophic loss of their homes and/or personal property. The drive continues this weekend and next between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Vols return home for the first time in three weeks on Saturday, welcoming No. 7 Auburn to Neyland Stadium for homecoming.
Tennessee is 4-1 this season in Knoxville and 1-1 in SEC play. The Vols are 10-4 in their last 14 games at home and are coming off a 23-21 win over then-No. 11/9 South Carolina last time out at Neyland.
The Big Orange and Tigers kickoff at noon on ESPN.
The Auburn-Tennessee rivalry dates to 1900 – the two teams met every year from 1956-91 before the Southeastern Conference expanded and split into two divisions.
This marks the first time Auburn, which leads the series 27-21-3, has been Tennessee's homecoming opponent and the Vols will be hard-pressed to win improve on its 27-2 homecoming record since 1984.
Those two losses came against No. 1 Miami in 2002 and a low point for the program a 13-7 loss to Wyoming in 2008.
Auburn is the school-record tying fifth Top 10 opponent the Vols have faced this season, and seventh ranked squad – and last – to take them on.
The glaring matchup statistically the Vols face: Auburn is the league's No. 1 rushing team with 306.2 yards per game. Tennessee has the SEC's worst rush defense, giving up 201.7 per game.
Tre Mason leads the Tigers with 102.3 yards per game.
"Tre is a really good player," said Tennessee linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen, a former assistant at Auburn. "I think the first time Tre touched the ball was on a kickoff return and he went 101 yards."
The young Tennessee wide receiver corps took a step forward on Saturday against Missouri.
The group combined for a season best 26 catches for 240 yards, led by sophomore Pig Howard who had 11.
"I thought we did some things well last week," said wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni. "We made some plays; we had more catches and yards than we have had the whole season, which is positive. But we also left some plays out there. Some young guys left some plays out there that I wish we had back."
Like every passing week, the Vols have reviewed the film, learned from it, and snap and cleared.
With Marquez North developing on the outside, Howard has moved to the perfect spot for him, in the slot.
"The slot makes this offense go, it always has, it always will," said Azzanni. "When you have a big time guy playing X out there like Marquez, and then you have a slot like Pig, those two play off of each other. Everywhere we have been that has been the case. He makes it go, he controls the middle of the field."
The duo of North and Howard combined for 18 of the Vols' 26 catches on the night for 157 of the 240 yards through the air.
"It was great, I see so much improvement in both of those two kids," said Azzanni. "Marquez and Pig have come the farthest of that whole group in a short time and it is really neat to see the growth every week of those two guys. Do they make some mistakes, yeah. But I am also seeing a steady improvement which is positive."
"You keep the confidence high and that is the only way we are going to develop and get better."
Despite committing a season-high nine penalties last week, Tennessee remains tied atop the SEC in the category with just 36.6 penalty yards per game this season.
Four of the nine infractions against Mizzou came from the Vols' offensive line, and positional coach Don Mahoney won't let that repeat itself this Saturday against the No. 7/10 Auburn Tigers.
"It was disappointing; it is stuff that shouldn't happen," said Mahoney. "In what we talk about – in terms of the snap-and-clear mentality with what goes on in the previous play and carrying on to the next play – it is just being more focused, being more dialed-in. That stuff is something we can't allow to happen. It can't be in our game plan.
"Thus far this in practice it wasn't an issue. The focus has to be much higher and better, and the emotions of the game cannot affect us. That was a setback for us. We have to be more mentally dialed-in than we were."
The Vols' front five won't have to worry about any of the outside elements this week, as they return to Neyland Stadium for the first time since upsetting South Carolina three weeks ago.
"I think they are excited to get back out there," said Mahoney. "Anytime you are home, it takes away the elements of being on the road – all the different things with noises and issues that you work through.
"It isn't something they come out and say but you can tell by their body language. Also, with their disappointment of what took place last week and the week before that, we need to get this corrected and corrected in the right way."
With the insertion of freshman Joshua Dobbs, the offensive line has another element to account for – their quarterback's ability to takeoff with the ball.
"They know that the play can stay alive for a while," said Mahoney. "Even in our run game, he has the ability to possibly keep it. So yeah, it's definitely in their minds."
The list of dynamic quarterbacks faced this season grows longer on Saturday afternoon, as the Vols welcome Auburn's Nick Marshall to Neyland Stadium.
Averaging 65 yards per game on the ground, Marshall currently ranks ahead of last season's Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel and Oregon's Marcus Mariota – arguably the two most dynamic quarterbacks in all of college football.
Week in and week out, Auburn's game plan revolves entirely around the junior college transfer.
"They have a dynamic quarterback and a ton of confidence," said Thigpen. "He's probably the most electric player I've seen. We've seen quite a few really good mobile quarterbacks, but I tell you, he's as good as any we've seen.
"The kids really believe in him – everybody on their team, everybody has a ton of confidence. Everybody is surrounding themselves and rallying behind him. Just like any team in football, if you have a dynamic quarterback, you're going to win a lot of football games."
On Wednesday's SEC coaches' teleconference, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn spoke about his first-year gunslinger.
"I think he's gotten more comfortable each week with our backs," said Malzahn. "With a quarterback you try and build around that quarterback's strengths and it took us a little bit to figure that out. [The zone read] is definitely a strength of his."
Malzahn went into further detail about Marshall's character.
"The thing that's really stood out to me is he is very hungry to learn," said Malzahn. "He's got a great attitude, very rarely makes the same mistake twice and he's a mentally and physically tough young man."
»(On adjusting to a new quarterback)
"Not much. We are so young and so worried about getting our stuff right out there, we have our own grass to mow out there right now before we start worrying about what Josh [Dobbs] needs to do. We just try to make plays for him if we could and get him out of trouble if he needs to scramble and things like that. We are so worried about being where we are supposed to be that to paint a picture for him, that we really don't pay too much attention and I think he did a great job."
»(On drops from Josh Smith)
"Sometimes I get on him, I remind him about it. I try and take the heat off of him. It is like a batter being in a slump. He has great hands, he really does. He has made those plays in practice over and over, he just has to settle down and the nerves pressing. I keep coaching him up and also remind him why he made those drops. You go back and you look, maybe hand placement, maybe eyes, maybe depth of route, maybe breaking points. We try and correct that first because I know he has good hands."
»(On Josh Smith's hands)
"Josh has incredible hands. He really does. He has great ball skills. He has the best ball skills in my group. They haven't shown up sometimes on Saturday. I feel for him, I think he is pressing. You come out here and practice and he catches everything. A lot of that has to do with route technique, taking his eyes off the ball, just trying to do too much. The game is going really fast for him now, he has to slow down."
»(On Rajion Neal's recent struggles)
"[He's had] nice attempts; he had 12 carries one week and eight in the other. I think the scores of the last games have dictated the amount of time we get to run the ball. When we are in situations like that we obviously have to do the things that give us the best opportunity to score fast, and at times running the ball is not. I don't think it is a lack in productivity. It has just been the situations we have been in during the games."
»(On determining the number of reps)
"It is just next man up. I don't count reps during the game. One guy gets a rep and we call a play or if one guy needs a spell the next guy goes in. It is really not counted. It is just who is in the game at the time and things they do during the week. There are certain plays that Rajion (Neal) does a little better than Marlin (Lane) and so forth."
»(On what can be taken away from the Missouri game)
"We played against a good football team, a team that has been together a long time. They have done a really good job recruiting the type of players that fit the system. They got in the groove. They are a really good football team. We take nothing away from them. We obviously learned a lot from that game, but we are not giving up. We kind of dusted ourselves off and we are getting ready to play Auburn."
»(On the physicality of practice)
"(Wednesday) we had probably one of our more physical practices, which was good to see. Today was just okay. I don't know if it was because the temperament yesterday - it was probably one of our better days of practice this year - today wasn't up to what we expect it to be. There is definitely a high sense of urgency of what we need to do and do better."
»(On what needs to improve with the offensive line)
"I need to see more physicality in terms of overall just finishing plays. I need them to play faster. There were times where it wasn't as fast, maybe the cause of what we were doing combination wise. The mind was tying up the feet which it shouldn't be.
"It was things that were upsetting and frustrating for them to see. It was one of those deals where they would say, `I can't believe I actually did that.' Well, it happened. So we have to play a lot faster mentally, we have to play a lot more physical."
»(On coaching against Gus Malzahn)
"It wears you down and that's the whole deal. They try to wear your defense down, especially your defensive front. The tempo is as fast as any you're going to see. The ball will snap probably every 10-15 seconds. The whole deal is to try and neutralize your defensive line and make sure they stay on the field, so you can wear them down. They want to run the ball and that's what they've had a lot of success with."
»(On Auburn's offensive ability)
"They have so many different packages. You look at it and again, they can throw it out there. They can just hand the ball off. They can do it on the run. They can do it from the formation. They can do it anywhere they want to. He's very creative. If they see something one week and you didn't fix it, you're going to see it again."
The Vols' senior punter/kicker Michael Palardy has been selected as one of 10 semifinalists – four are from the SEC – for the 2013 Ray Guy Award. The Augusta (Ga.) Sports Council made the announcement Friday morning.
The semifinalists were chosen from a field of 85 candidates for the award, which recognizes the most outstanding punter in college football.
"It is a great honor to be a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award," Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. "Everything in our football program is based on every player in our program having great pride and consistency in their performance. Michael Palardy is one of those individuals who has exceeded those expectations. It is an honor and a privilege for him and our entire football program that he be represented on the semifinal list of the Ray Guy Award."
The candidates were evaluated on their overall statistics and contribution to the team. Particular emphasis was placed on the punter's net average, percentage of total punts inside the 20-yard line and percentage of punts not returned.
This season, through nine games, Palardy is averaging 44.4 yards per punt, 11th in the country and second in the SEC. The senior has also dropped 23 of his 47 punts inside the 20-yard line, or 48.9 percent, most in the FBS. Palardy has landed 12 of his punts inside the 10-yard line, second most in the country. He has also launched 12 of his punts 50+ yards.
In addition to his punting duties, Palardy handles kickoffs and field goal/PAT kicks, one of just seven FBS athletes to handle all three special teams duties, and the lone semifinalist on the Ray Guy Award to do so.
"It is an honor and a blessing to be recognized as one of the nation's top punters," Palardy said. "I wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for the help of my coverage team on punts and the support from Coach Jones, the staff and my teammates. The other nine semifinalists are some of the top punters in the country and to be a part of a list of that caliber is something special and something I won't forget for the rest of my life."
A national voting body of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) coaches, sports information directors, national media and former Ray Guy Award winners will decide the three award finalists, who will be announced on November 25. Voters will then cast a second round of ballots to decide the winner.
2013 Ray Guy Award Semifinalists
Steven Clark (Sr.) – Auburn
Tom Hornsey (Sr.) – Memphis
Cameron Johnson (Fr.) – Ohio State
Drew Kaser (So.) – Texas A&M
Cody Mandell (Sr.) – Alabama
Michael Palardy (Sr.) – Tennessee
Mike Sadler (Jr.) – Michigan State
Will Scott (Sr.) – Troy
Cody Webster (Sr.) – Purdue
The presentation of the Ray Guy Award will be featured on The Home Depot College Football Awards live on Thursday, December 12 at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. The show, hosted by ESPN's Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard will feature live presentation of nine player awards, along with the recipients of Disney's Spirit Award, The Home Depot Coach of the Year Award, the NCFAA (National College Football Awards Association) Contributions to the College Football Award, and student-athletes selected to the Walter Camp All-America Team.

Actor James Franco says he really

The 34-year-old Franco has played gay
in films numerous times, including Milk and Howl. His
latest film, Interior. Leather Bar, premiered this week at
the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
The film, which Franco produced with
director Travis Matthews, recreates deleted gay scenes from the 1980
film Cruising. In the film, Al Pacino plays a New York police
detective who goes undercover in the city's gay leather scene to
catch a serial killer.
In an interview with MTV
News, Franco said he's been accused of being gay since high
"In high school these girls got mad
at me and so they spread this rumor that I was having a gay
relationship with one of my closest friends," Franco said. "And
they even made up a little dance they would do in the girl's locker
room about me being gay. I still don't know what the dance was."
"It wasn't something that frightened
me," he added. "Like if people think that, it's fine. I really
don't care."

Secret weapon': dedicated on site steel construction and machining facility.
The skyline of the Amsterdam harbours has been visibly altered in the neighbourhood of Shipdock, Amsterdam's premier ship repair and conversion yard. The company has recently secured four major contracts for the upgrading and maintenance of the jack-up vessels GMS Endurance, GMS Endeavour, Seajack Leviathan and Seajack Zaratan. These vessels, equipped with elevating legs of over 100m in height, will be keeping the shipyard busy throughout the summer months.
Shipdock has managed to considerably increase its activities in the offshore market since the very first jack-up barge, the Danish-based A2SEA Sea Jack, came into the yard approximately two years ago. The main task then carried out at Shipdock was to lengthen the legs in order to keep the lower cable sheeves out of the mud in elevating mode.
Until some months ago, Shipdock expected to be working on one or two jack-ups per year. Because of the rapidly growing wind-park construction activities in the nearby North Sea waters, the total for this year is already standing at four of these very specialised vessels!
The most important jobs that the new contracts require are:
• manufacture and installation of new crane pedestals
• installation of heavier cranes
• reinforcement of supporting deck structures
• installation of helidecks
• manufacture and installation of winch foundations
• lengthening of legs (on the GMS Endeavour)
• general project mobilisation work
Senior project manager at Shipdock, Tjeerd Schulting, is justifiably proud that Shipdock has been chosen for these important new contracts: "Don't think that it's all so easy – over the years we have worked hard to build up a solid reputation for being extremely well-equipped for projects like this. Other important factors are that we offer a guarantee of work to all required safety standards; for North Sea operations we are, geographically, in a very attractive location and Shipdock has the right-sized docks and repair berths equipped with heavy duty cranes; and that is all topped-off by our world-class package of high quality workmanship, competitive pricing, on-time delivery and full service on site."
Tjeerd goes on to include a couple of Shipdock's 'secret weapons': "Our sister company, Niron Staal, is located within Shipdock's premises and provides dedicated steel construction and heavy machining facilities to support Shipdock, where necessary, on all projects. Finally, the broad diversity of tasks on the jack-up vessels illustrates the competence and flexibility of Shipdock's dedicated staff. When it comes to repair and conversion, the decisive factor is always the experience and enthusiasm of the people who are actually doing the job."

text: LGBT State Lawmakers to Hold Medicaid Hearing, Six Hospitals Recognized for LGBT Inclusiveness By Alex AuBuchon • Apr 19, 2016 UAB Alabama lawmakers plan to hold hearings on the state's Medicaid program tomorrow. The House and Senate general fund budget committees have scheduled a joint meeting tomorrow to discuss funding options for the government health care program that covers approximately a million Alabamians. House Speaker Mike Hubbard says lawmakers plan to question Medicaid officials about the agency's finances and costs. Tuscaloosa PD Releases Video, AAA Teen Defensive Driving School By Alex AuBuchon • Jul 16, 2015 Tuscaloosa's police chief says he hopes releasing more than two hours of video and audio footage dispels any concerns of police misconduct in the death of a man while in custody that occurred Friday. Yesterday, Tuscaloosa police released footage from the night Anthony Ware died after he was pepper sprayed and handcuffed. The footage shows a man running into the woods after patrol cars pull up to an apartment block. It later shows officers performing CPR on Ware in the woods. Authorities say the moment Ware was sprayed and detained last Friday wasn't recorded. Group Ranks Alabama Low for LGBT Inclusion By Associated Press • Nov 19, 2014 hrc.org Alabama cities rank poorly in an advocacy group's report measuring legal protection and inclusion for gays and lesbians. The Human Rights Campaign issued a report measuring more than 300 cities for legal protections, city policies and inclusion efforts. Of the five Alabama cities included in the survey, Birmingham had the highest score at nine points. Montgomery followed with eight points. Huntsville and Mobile both scored four points. Tuscaloosa had the lowest score at three. The national average score was 59 points. Alabama Court Voids Same-Sex Child Visitation Order By Associated Press • Oct 27, 2014 Jewel Samad / AFP/Getty Images An Alabama appeals court says a judge can't order child visitation following the split-up of a same-sex couple. The Alabama Court of Civil Appeals ruled Friday that a Jefferson County judge was wrong to order child visitation for a woman who split up with her partner of 16 years. The county judge based the decision on an adoption ruling issued in a Georgia case. But the Alabama appeals court says the ruling can't stand because the Georgia court lacked the power to issue such an order. Probe Finds Army Biased Against Transgender Worker By Associated Press • Oct 27, 2014 al.com A federal investigation found Army officials discriminated against a transgender employee who underwent a sex change while working at an Alabama installation. The Office of Special Counsel says Tamara Lusardi of Huntsville suffered gender identity discrimination as she transitioned from male to female in 2010. Lusardi was working as a civilian software quality assurance specialist at the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center at the time. LGBT Rights Group Hires Ex-Pastor in Mississippi By Associated Press • Jul 30, 2014 hrc.org A national group that pushes equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people has hired a former clergyman to lead its efforts in Mississippi. Rob Hill grew up in Mississippi, and spent 12 years as a United Methodist pastor. He said Tuesday that he started work July 14 for Human Rights Campaign and its "Project One America." Photos Explore Dynamics of Youths' Sexual Identities By Associated Press & Jay Reeves • Apr 24, 2014 Jav Reeves/Associated Press For many, it's difficult to understand Foster Noone's sexual identity. The 17-year-old uses the labels of bisexual, trans and gender neutral all at once. A photography exhibition opening at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute on Wednesday night seeks to put a face on such young people while exploring the difficult dynamics of family acceptance of their identities in the Deep South.

Written on: 06/11/2012 by dbinq (30 reviews written)
Be aware that it's not as good a scheme as it sounds on paper.
I got a bike and accessories for £800 thinking would pay £40 out wages for 12 months turn I would own bike but at end of 12 months got a email saying would owe over £200 if I would like to own bike !!!
When you take in to account the fact I was paying OTT for bike anyway and accessories, as had to use local overpriced shop ( that turned out to be useless ). The figures just do not work in your favor.
Wish had never seen this scheme ... I hardly got chance to use bike too as has rained most year.
Anyway just be aware that it might cheaper to buy the bike outright yourself and be aware there will be a final fee after your 12 month hire of bike.

So perhaps the rumors of Judd Apatow's demise were greatly exaggerated.
Following the disappointing performance of "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and the flop that was "Drillbit Taylor," Apatow is back in classic form with his latest production.
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is yet another crowd-pleasing comedy like "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up" and "Superbad" that will make you laugh and squirm the whole way through - usually at the same time. It has just the right balance of the salty and the sweet. It also signals an introduction of sorts to a couple of engaging talents.
Jason Segel, co-star of Apatow's "Knocked Up" and "Freaks and Geeks" and the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," settles comfortably into his first screenplay and first leading role. Drawing on his own experiences, Segel plays a big, lovable puppy dog of a guy who gets dumped when he's most vulnerable by his TV-star girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). His unabashed full-frontal nudity in this scene has been the stuff of legend for weeks before the film's opening; you do have to give him credit for showing such, um, confidence.
And then there's Russell Brand, a British standup comic who will probably be new to American audiences, but not for long. He runs away with this movie - tough to do, since it's populated with big personalities - as a preening rock star who is less vapid and more verbal than he initially appears. Segel has given Brand most of the movie's wittiest lines and since improvisation rules on an Apatow set, Brand and the rest of the cast were free to bounce off each other with reckless abandon.
Segel stars as Peter Bretter, a genial but mostly unmotivated musician. He's the composer for the TV series "Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime," a dead-on take off on "CSI" (with a brilliant rip on David Caruso). Sarah, the show's glamorous star, has been Peter's girlfriend for the past six years, which has meant long nights of holding her purse at premieres while she answers reporters' questions on the red carpet.
Still, he's blinded by her fame and beauty, and remains hopelessly in love with her even after she shows up at his apartment and announces that she's leaving him for another man.
At the urging of his brother Brian (Bill Hader of "Saturday Night Live"), Peter jets off to Hawaii to get over Sarah, but instead ends up at the same resort where she just happens to be vacationing with her new boyfriend, Brand's lanky, leather-clad Lothario, Aldous Snow. Of all the hotels on all the islands in all the world, he walks into hers - a bit of a contrivance, sure, but it sets up some hilariously painful situations.Thankfully there's Rachel (Mila Kunis), the resort's friendly front-desk clerk, who helps Peter take his mind off his wrecked love life.
The absurdity of love and heartache mixed with clever touches and a twisted sense of humor for the hero provide surprising touches to his characters - such as a Dracula puppet musical.
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall," a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for language and some graphic nudity. Running time: 111 minutes. Our score: Three stars out of four.
