Pork rolls with a hint of mustard and pickles inside is not a healthiest recipe out there (due to pork and deep frying) but definitely interesting one to try at some point.
I like to use boneless country style pork ribs cut for this recipe. This cut is usually tender and juicy and easy to flatten into soft cutlets. However another soft pork cut may work here as well.
Make sure meat you use doesn't have excess amount of fat and other connective tissue, or rolls will get harder to cook through (these I used for pictures had a bit too much of it, but I couldn't find better one), use meat which has more meat in it with a bit of fat around it.]]>
This pasta dish recipe is greatly inspired by Zuppa Toscana you can find in "Olive Garden" here in US.
It has distinct Italian taste (thanks to spices in sausage), creamy parmigiano reggiano sauce and any pasta you want, all though I suggest using whole wheat linguini pasta for healthier option.
Using of hot Italian sausage rather than mild one will make the dish hotter obviously, mixing both is an option too.
Serve Italian Sausage Pasta for dinner or lunch, serve it hot, it tastes better fresh, not reheated. Stated amount of ingredients yields exactly 2 portions, adjust amounts if you need more or less.]]>
Cod fish may taste a bit plain and somewhat boring, but not if prepared with mustard and lemon marinade like in this recipe.
Onions cooked along with fish in the same marinate taste just great (I think I might like onions the same as fish if not more). So don't be shy on amount of onions to use.
Marinating requires at least an hour, but can be extended to few, as long as you keep the fish is in the fridge. And will allow to do all preparations in advance in needed and then cook fish right before the serving.]]>
Yogurt, mustard and lemon juice salad dressing tastes great especially in meat based salads, but is also good with tomatoes, good on sandwiches and as dipping sauce.
It can be used as lighter substitute for mayo: if you compare 900 calories for 5oz of mayo to about 140 calories of similar amount of this dressing.
Now, taste of this dressing will vary based on what kind of mustard you use, as well as based on proportion of mustard and lemon juice. Just experiment with different types and proportions to your liking.
I like using chobani yogurt for this one: there is enough space in the container to fit mustard and juice and mix, so no need to use extra bowl for mixing.]]>
This is easy and refreshing tasting salad of few ingredients: all you need is fresh broccoli crown, few tomatoes, onion and some greens.
It is important to use broccoli crown as it is normally more soft and less chewy than more mature pieces.
Raw broccoli and tomato salad pairs well with meat or poultry courses.]]>
These resemble chicken kiev for the part that they are chicken rolls which are stuffed with garlicky butter. But they are much easier to make and are a bit healthier: because of no breading and no deep frying.
Chicken thin cutlets cut works perfectly for this one (if you can buy it), but whole breast can be sliced into cutlets as well, it will just be slightly more work to do to make sure slices are even and there are no holes in the chicken so stuffing doesn't leak when cooking.
Butter and cheese stuffed chicken rolls taste great when served hot, right out the oven. Good when paired with mashed or baked potatoes. Perfect for romantic or celebratory dinner.]]>
EnjoyYourCooking already has recipe for Lazy Cabbage Rolls casserole, this recipe variation uses almost the same ingredients, but in form of cabbage and meat patties baked under tomato and sour cream sauce.
Again, they are much easier and faster to prepare comparing to traditional cabbage rolls (this is why they are called "lazy"), but taste is very similar.
These patties constitute complete meal, but some vegetables or salads can be served along as a side dish.]]>
This dish offers great combination of tastes: cabbage, onions, mushrooms and sour cream braised together and seasoned with fresh dill.
Cabbage braised with mushrooms and sour cream can be served as a side or as no meat course on its own.
Time needed for cooking will vary depending on how soft you like cabbage to be, just check its readiness from time to time.]]>
Unusually tasting salad for a celebratory table or if you want to add a bit more liver in your diet (for example to consume more iron or other nutrients it is reach on).
As title says, fried liver is the base of the salad, accompanied by fried carrots and onions and boiled eggs. Probably it is not the lightest of the salads other there, but again, rich in nutrients and pretty filling.
Ingredients of the salad can be cooked and mixed together in advance, store them in the fridge and then add mayo 20-30 mins before serving it.]]>
Another take on mashed cauliflower side: smooth pureed cauliflower with parmesan cheese and a hint of spicy garlic.
Great choice when you want to cut on potato intake but still want something of mashed texture on your table.
From my experience, cauliflower purees taste better fresh, so cook just enough for one time don't keep leftovers.
Garlic taste can be a bit overpowering sometimes, so I suggest going with half garlic clove at first, and see if more is needed to taste.]]>
It is a bit tricky game to get chicken out of its skin w/o damaging the skin, but I managed it (and prepared step-by-step instructions with photos along the way).
The only hiccup I had on the way was with bacon. The smoked bacon I used had very powerful and distinctive taste, and it mostly took over the taste of other ingredients. So for this recipe I suggest to use smaller amount of non-smoked bacon, or replace it with ground pork instead.]]>
I was working on a recipe stuffed chicken skin (it will be coming up in next post) and, after seeing how much time and effort it took me to remove the skin from a raw chicken in one piece without damaging it on the way, I decided to create a post with step-by-step instructions and pictures for others to use.
Pictures have come up not that appetizing (and for that I apologize), but at least they illustrate the process in details and are easier to follow than plain word description.
Most of the work you will be doing with a knife placed in between skin and meat slightly angled towards the meat. Work with short precise cut motions to make sure skin remains undamaged through the process. So, to get a whole raw chicken skin to use for a recipe you will need a raw chicken, sharp long knife and a tablespoon.]]>
Zucchini "fries" cooked with this recipe are much healthier alternative to potato ones: much less oil and less starchy zucchini instead of potato.
I love zucchini, so these taste great for me. It is easy to improvise with spices and their amounts to create new unique taste every time I want it.
Please note, more mature zucchinis will require more cooking time, so probe with a fork to see readiness.
Zucchini with Parmesan and Spices can be served as snack, or an appetizer or a side dish.]]>
Fun recipe to play with: eggplants stuffed with ground beef and vegetables. Nice combination of meat and veggies. I love eggplants!
For me it is always a bit tricky to hollow eggplants out, it is important to take most of pulp off to make sure they cook through, but it is also important to to not damage eggplant skin. It takes a bit of time and practice.
You can take bigger eggplants and slice them in half lengthwise, or take smaller ones and slice top part off like I did for this recipe.]]>
There are many recipes in Ukrainian cuisine for Hrechanyky - meat and buckwheat patties.
All of them use some sort of meat (chicken, or pork, or beef, or a combination of these) which is being mixed with boiled buckwheat and some other ingredients; patties are either baked or fried, and then served either plain or with some kind of sauce. So, there are many variations.
In this recipe I used ground chicken, patties are fried and served without any sauce. Simple recipe I would say. If you are grinding chicken meat yourself, you can do it together with onion, that way there is no need to grate it.
Serve hrechanyky warm or cooled down with vegetable side or on a bread bun.]]>
Interesting and I would say unusual recipe: chopped chicken meat patties baked in garlicky cream cheese sauce. Great choice for romantic or family dinner.
I used chicken thighs meat for this recipe, it seem juicier and tasty to me, but breast meat will work as well. As for cheese, it is italian cheese blend, but if you like something else - it would probably work too.
If meat mince consistency is watery, forming patties may get tricky, just use two spoon to ladle and shape them, otherwise use hands.]]>
I think this recipe is one of these I can call American. I don't know if it was invented here, but it is sure popular here: it is quick to make and kids love it.
I used cheddar and swiss cheese for my sandwiches, but any other good melting cheese will work as well. As well as other breads. Just experiment with what you like.
Serve grilled cheese sandwich with a side or without.]]>
Country style boneless pork ribs cut is perfect choice for breading and frying: meat turns out soft and juicy, it is very easy to portion and cook. Result looks and tastes like tenders which are made out of pork.
Fried pork fingers can be served as an entree with a side or on a bread as a sandwich.
I usually cook bigger batch. Leftovers can then be stored in fridge or be frozen, and can be easily reheated in microwave.]]>
Nice recipe for summer cookout - spicy (and somewhat sweet because of paprika) tender chicken meat skewers. Easy to prepare, yet it is very delicious.
All the heavy lifting for marinating meat is done in advance and then skewers are cooked right before serving. One more positive side of this recipe.
We usually cook these on metal skewers over open hot charcoals. If you plan to use wooden sticks - make sure to soak them in water well in advance to prevent burning.
Alternatively, these can be cooked in the oven, using broil at the end for color is a plus.]]>
Lately, I am cutting on my potato intake, but it is hard because I like such sides as mashed potatoes, for example. So when I read about mashed cauliflower being something similar but healthier, I had to try it right away.
I must say, mashed cauliflower still tastes like cauliflower, however the texture of it is very much similar to the texture of potato puree. So I think, I am pleased with my results.
I used hand immersion hand blender to puree my cauliflowers, but I am pretty sure stand blender or food processor will work for it as well.
Don't over do on amount of milk - cauliflower will need much less than potato would, so add it very gradually, spoon by spoon until desired consistency.]]>
Not complicated recipe for homemade drink to enjoy this hot summer: a milkshake made of fresh (and colorful) blueberries, ice cream and milk, you will also need a stand blender.
Fresh berries are just great for this. But they can be replaced with frozen ones to make it more affordable or when fresh blueberries are out of season.
Listed ingredients will yield about 3 portions. Work in batches to make more in case you have 48oz blender cup like I do.]]>
If you have some cabbage sitting in the fridge and you don't know what to do with it, here is your way out: make cabbage pancakes. They are much like Ukrainian "deruny" but made from cabbage and onions.
My better half is not a big fan of cabbage in general, but he loves these and always asks for seconds.
Cabbage pancakes work great for breakfast or lunch as a dish on its own. But they are not sweet, so I suppose can be served as a side dish as well.
Listed amount of ingredients will produce about 15 pancakes.]]>
I love this recipe. And if you use boneless country-style pork rib meat as I do and get tender and juicy meat "pancakes", you will love it too.
Just chop the meat along with onions, mix with eggs and some starch, set it in fridge to marinate and then fry later.
This is one of meals you can prepare everything for some time in advance, and then just fry them right before serving.]]>
This is amazingly quick recipe for fried beef. Perfect dish for when you have some beef frozen up and you need to throw a dinner together quick and easy.
You don't even need to thaw it all the way, meat will actually be much easier to slice if it is frozen a bit. Just make sure you use sharp knife.
Now, time to cook will depend on the meat cut - the softer meat is the lesser time to cook it will require. Just try from time to time until it is soft enough.]]>
This is my recipe for so called Polish Cucumber salad: simple salad with cucumbers, fresh dill and marinated onions.
Marinating onions makes them less bitter and removes most of that onion breath smell therefore this salad is great for parties, cookouts and such.
I am using balsamic vinegar and sour cream as dressing here. If you like, you can replace vinegar with lemon juice, but I somehow like vinegar better.]]>
The magic of this recipe is in the fact that you can prepare everything for it a day before and then just fry the meat when the time is right.
You can actually store marinated meat in fridge for longer and just fry a portion you need every time you need it, which may save time eventually.
Results may vary depending on the taste of mustard you use. So use the one you like :).
The same goes for peppers - I used a mixture I had on hands: red pepper, black pepper, white pepper, coriander, etc, but you can use whatever you like the most.
Choose softer cut of beef for this recipe, pork or chicken may work too.]]>
Creamy potato and parmesan cheese casserole which can be served as a side or a main dish.
It is pretty easy to do, and can be a great choice if you need to bring something with you to a cookout.
Left overs can be easily stored in fridge and re-heated in microwave.]]>
Simple recipe to fry shrimps. I cooked shrimps in shell, but cleaned ones will work for this recipe as well.
Make sure you don't overcook shrimps (turn them over as soon as meat becomes white), or meat will turn hard and shrimps will be hard to clean.
You can also use garlic oil instead of cooking garlic with oil, if you have it on hand.]]>
Let's bring liver back to the table: for as nutritious as it is, it doesn't get nearly enough of the spotlight.
This easy recipe will help you to add all the goodness beef liver has into your diet.
I noticed that in US it is easier to find pre-sliced and cleaned liver, but in case you buy a whole piece, you will need to clean it, remove hard vessel parts and slice it up before continuing with the recipe.
Liver tastes great with boiled buckwheat, this is my first choice for a side dish for any main course with liver.]]>
This salad is more advanced version evolved from Raw Vegetable Salad with Feta.
I added few ingredients: kale, celery, zucchini, corn, olives, mushrooms and a protein source, boiled chicken, to make things a bit more interesting.
I take this salad ingredients with me and slice them up at work for a healthy lunch. It only takes few minutes to do.
By the way, if you boil chicken right before making the salad, make sure you let it cool down to room temperature first.]]>
For some weird reason this dessert is called "Snow White and Seven Dwarfs" in Ukraine. But it doesn't make its taste any less than awesome: sourish prunes, stuffed with nuts on a bed of fluffy whipped cream.
Prunes can be stuffed in advance, in fact nuts will taste even better after few hours in prunes. And then whip cream and assemble dessert right before serving it.
By the way, you can use other nuts instead of pecans, for example walnuts or almonds, whatever you like more.]]>
Rabbit meat is considered to be lean and overall healthy meat option. We were cooking rabbits pretty often at home in Ukraine. But here in US I was never lucky enough to see one in store.
This seem had changed recently: both, Whole Foods and Giant Eagle Market District in area where we live, now started carrying young rabbits (I hope it isn't some kind of trial).
So I couldn't resist, bought one and decided to share this simple and yet pretty tasty recipe for rabbit stew with mushrooms and sour cream. I hope you like it as much as I do.]]>
If you are looking for quick recipe with meat - try meat stew with beans.
It is pretty quick and is not too complicated to do: cooking time will depend on the meat cut you use, but in average it is between 30 and 45 mins.
I used beef (chuck roast cut) for this one, but pork will work for this recipe as well.]]>
If you are bored with simple plain boiled rice, you can give this recipe a try.
This rice is fried in olive oil with orzo, seasoned with salt and a bit of saffron for color, and then cooked over slow heat in hot water (or broth) until ready.
Rice cooked like this has interesting color and taste. It works great as side dish for meat or poultry entrees. But can also be served as a dish on its own.]]>
If you are looking for comfort beverage to get warm during cold winter, try spiced hot camomile tea with rum.
Cinnamon and cloves spice the tea up, lemon juice flavors it and rum adds a bit of twist to the taste just enough to help with warming process, serve it hot.
I usually drink my tea unsweetened, but if you need some sweetness use honey (preferably) or sugar to taste.]]>
I don't know how to call this dish: it is not a cake or pie, but it certainly looks like one; it doesn't seem to be a casserole, but you can bake it in a casserole pan, it does look similar to quiche, but is not exactly a quiche.
I guess at very least it is an omelette, omelette with cabbage. Yes, I know, an unusual combination, but still pretty tasty.
Cabbage omelette doesn't require a lot of time to prepare, can be served for breakfast or lunch as a dish on it's own, but it also can be paired with meats as a side dish.]]>
It seems to me that sorrel isn't something very popular in cooking in this part of the world.
But just in case if you were looking for some recipe using it, here is one: fresh raw salad with sorrel, apple and romaine lettuce dressed with lemon juice and honey.
If dressing seems too sour for you, replace some juice with water and increase amount of honey, that should do the trick.]]>
This is really recipe for the ham glaze: the ham is already fully cooked, and it will just need heating up and a bit of taste.
It is easy recipe for celebration table. If you want to feed more people take bigger piece of meat and increase amount of other ingredients, cooking time will need to be adjusted appropriately.
Left overs can be easily served for lunch, cold or reheated.]]>
Fall is a perfect time to cook some squash. Spaghetti squash.
This recipe features spaghetti squash stewed with chicken and mushrooms in sour cream sauce. Prepared like this, this dish doesn't require a side.
Stewed spaghetti squash will work great for dunner or lunch. Leftovers can be easily reheated in microwave.]]>
I love plain baked apples. Stuffing apples with mix of dried apricots, raisins, apple pieces, seasoned with sugar and lemon juice and then baking them is a step up to plain baked apples.
Depending on apples, baking time will differ, you want to get apples soft but not too soft to lose their form.
Serve stuffed baked apples warm from the oven, reheated in microwave or cooled down as a dessert or snack. They also work nicely as a breakfast.]]>
Pork tastes great with pineapple. These pork pockets rubbed with mix of spices and stuffed with pineapple chunks are perfect fit for romantic or celebration dinner.
Other cuts of pork can be cooked like this, but tenderloin works the best due to shape and tenderness.
I used fresh pineapples, but canned ones may work good too.]]>
This is a recipe for chicken salad made with crunchy walnuts and celery, dried cranberries and dressed with mayo.
It is pretty easy to do. All you need to do is to boil and dice chicken, slice celery and add rest of ingredients together.
This salad can be served as it is or on a bed of lettuce leaves as a salad entree. It also can be wrapped in a tortilla or served in a bread sandwich.]]>
Friend of mine introduced this dish to me few weeks ago and since then I cooked it pretty much every week.
It is pretty easy to do, and it provides a variety of vegetables to the table as it cooks zucchini, asparagus spears and mushrooms in the same time. The batch I usually get will feed about 6 people as a side dish with no leftovers (and I don't think I ever had any of these left over actually).
It is very important to use portobello mushrooms in this recipe, as they have distinct aroma and taste which gets transferred to vegetables as well.]]>
I am trying to eat my vegetables raw at the moment (losing some weight, trying to eat more healthy, running and such). So this is a salad which I make for myself for lunch at work to accomplish this.
It takes about 10 mins to do all the slicing and dicing. And maybe 5 more for cleaning and packing.
Occasionally I add to it raw corn, onions, spinach, lettuce to vary things up, but cucumbers, tomatoes, mini peppers and avocado are always present.]]>
Yet another one chicken salad to be added to my list of recipes: tender chicken meat, boiled eggs, tasty cucumbers and spicy carrots prepare in korean style.
This salad will work great as a side or appetizer, or as a lunch meal itself, especially if you need something to take with you. It can be served plain, in a sandwich or in a wrap.
Salad can be dressed with a mix of mayo and sour cream instead of the mayo alone, if you are looking for healthier option.]]>
Korean style carrots ("morkovka po-korejski") is a popular in post-USSR countries dish which is usually served as salad, side dish or relish.
Often it is also served on hot dogs along with sausage inside the bun.
These pretty spicy carrots are great side for meats or poultry. They can also be used as one of ingredients for salads and other dishes.]]>
Here is your step away from something usually called a dessert: fresh fruit salad dressed with plain yogurt.
No flour, no sugar, almost no fat (if you use low-fat yogurt); only fresh raw fruits loaded with vitamins and tons of good nutrients.
Besides being a dessert, this salad can be great choice for breakfast or lunch or just a snack when you need it.
You can mix and match fruits to your liking for this one. I used pineapples, banana, orange, apple, kiwi and pear. Mint is also optional and can be skipped it if you don't like it.]]>
This is not hard recipe to do, but pretty nice one. My mom used to cook it all the time when we were kids: it can be served right away while it is still warm, or later warmed up or cold.
You can use any fish for this recipe (excluding the one with tons of bones), but red and fatty kind will work the best here. I used salmon.
Recipe for portion of unsweetened yeast dough I used can be found here.
Bay leaves here are optional, I like to use them, but they need to be removed before eating, so if you don't want to do that, just skip them altogether.]]>
Fast recipe to fix shrimps: simmer them for few minutes in sour cream and butter sauce.
I used raw cleaned shrimps for the recipe. But boiled ones will work as well, just reduce cooking time and temperature (no need for boiling).
Shrimps prepared this way can be a dish on its own, an appetizer or a snack, or it can be served over a bed of rice or pasta.]]>
This salad has unusual ingredients combination: prunes, eggs, cucumber, walnuts and chicken, as the title says.
There is no onions or garlic, so it can be served early in the day as well later.
It is also one of few salads in my recipe inventory which does not call for mayo.]]>
I know that buckwheat isn't something people in this part of the world eat. But I like it, and it is very nutritious to say the least.
I also was so pleased to find roasted version of it in stock of local Whole Foods (which I either didn't pay attention to before, or they kind of decided to be adventures and try it), so I decided to publish an interesting recipe using buckwheat this week.
Cooking buckwheat in the same pan with chicken, onions, garlics and sour cream gives it nice taste (and makes one pot less to clean, yay!). You can serve casserole as soon as it is ready, storing it leftovers in fridge and then reheating them makes a nice lunch too.
I used boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe, but any boneless chicken meat will work just fine.]]>
This is a bit more time consuming way to prepare quark (fresh cheese) than the one from kefir, it it is also a bit cheaper.
Usually you would just leave unpasteurized milk in warm place for a day or two to sour. But since all milk sold here is pasteurized, it needs some help to get sour, this is why we will also use kefir or cultured buttermilk.
Whole milk will produce tastier cheese, so I suggest using whole milk. I use Snowville Creamery milk for my recipes and it works great every time.
This amount of ingredients will produce about 1.5lb of fresh cheese.]]>
This isn't one of the recipes I usually cook, but it kind of puzzled me when I saw a recipe, so I had to try it.
It turned out pretty nice, somewhat unusual taste but quite interesting.
I used shrimps, presented in last week recipe this recipe, but I think store purchased pre-cooked shrimps will work well for it as well.]]>
Store sold ready to use cooked shrimps can be used for recipes which call for boiled shrimps (salads, soups, stir fries, etc). Or you can boil raw shrimps and get more tender, tasty and less expensive version of store sold cooked shrimps.
Shrimps cooked this way also work great as a meal on its own, snack for beer or an appetizer.
Use fresh or frozen shrimps, shell-on or fully cleaned ones, or even whole shrimps (these will require more cleaning after though). You can also use this recipe to "unfreeze" cooked shrimps and infuse them with spices (just reduce cooking time to not overcook them).
Usually package instructions say to thaw frozen shrimps before cooking, but I don't do it. Cooking frozen raw shrimps this way works for me just as good not frozen ones and it also saves time.
Cooking time will depend on size of shrimps: the smaller shrimps are, the less time for cooking they require - turn heat off as soon as shrimps float to the surface (this means they are cooked enough).]]>
I was hunting for fresh sour cherries to prepare this one for few years. Then I discovered a package of frozen pie cherries (tart cherries, sour cherries) in a store (yea, I know, should have checked freezer section long ago).
Anyway, now there is no need to wait for fresh ones anymore, since these will work the same good for the kompot, they are a lot cheaper and are much easier to find.
Disclaimer: usually sour cherry kompot is made of fresh sour cherries (if you have access to them by a sane price) with pits in.
Removing pits (or using pitless ones) makes it easier to consume cherries from the kompot (even though I kind of like when pits are in, maybe it reminds me of the sour cherry kompots imported from Bulgaria which we were getting occasionally for winter holidays are kids).]]>
This is somewhat unusual dish to cook: mushroom and carrot stuffing baked inside of chicken meat "crust".
But I assure you, it is totally worth cooking, for romantic dinner for example. Leftovers can be easily warmed up in microwave.
By the way, juices and removing casserole from the dish are a bit easier to handle if you use springform, but casserole dish would work too.]]>
I had some tortillas left from the pack I used on recipe earlier this month. So I decided to post another recipe for tortilla rolls, this time with crab stick, cheese, garlic and greens stuffing.
The same as the first one, these rolls will work perfectly as a snack or an appetizer, and they go great together with beer.
So if you are looking for some unusual snack recipe, here it is.]]>
This is nice looking dish which can be served as either a main entree, a side dish, or an appetizer.
It contains no meat, just eggplant, bell pepper, tomatoes, sour cream and cheese.
Eggplant roasted this way looks festive (and will for sure fit nicely on a holiday table), and it is also pretty easy to do.
One medium size eggplant will produce 2-3 servings.]]>
This is a no bake dessert from my childhood: one of the easiest to do (you can do it with you child together) with ingredients which were easily available at that time. I think I grew up with condensed milk, cookies and butter.
We called these "sweet potatoes", I guess mostly because of the color and form. I think the closest equivalent to this recipe in English would be "rum balls" if you make them with rum and form balls instead of "potato" shapes.
Of course, if you make this dessert for kids, skip alcohol.]]>
Flour tortilla rolls with fresh cheese, dill and garlic will pair perfectly with beer as a snack. Or an appetizer, or both.
You can prepare them in advance and slice right before serving, just allow them to sit in fridge for at least 30 mins before serving, so tortillas can soak moisture a bit.
At home we made these with lavash bread, but it is a bit hard to find here, so I used ready to go flour tortillas and it worked good too.
As for the cheese you can use any fresh cheese which can be easily crumbled to your taste: fresh white cheese (quark), feta or queso fresco.]]>
Easy recipe to do fusilli pasta cooked with cream, broccoli and cheese.
I used italian blend cheese mix, but I think other cheese or cheeses will work as well.
As well as other kind of pasta, fusilli seemed like one of the choices, others will work good too.
Just cook pasta to your liking (or/and according to the package instructions until al dente).]]>
I am trying to avoid fried foods for some time, and while actually doing so, I am amazed with how many recipes I use involve frying.
So I was staying in front of meat counter figuring out what to cook. And then lady behind the counter suggested to roast some beef.
And this is a recipe I decided to go with: roast beef marinated with onions, black pepper, coriander, allspice and bay leaves.
In addition to ingredients this recipe also required an oven bag or dutch oven with a lid.]]>
This is not much of a review (or recipe), but more an attempt to show who and what stands behind each and every new recipe on EYC.
It is also a way for me to introduce you to my cats. I think it goes without saying - work on recipes would be much more boring without them helping me.
See for yourself: Cats in the Kitchen.]]>
This is a breakfast food of my childhood: soft rice porridge cooked with milk and sweet raisins.
Round kinds of rice will probably work better for it, but any white rice will do.
Cook porridge on slow simmer. Don't forget to stir while cooking, to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burn.
Amount of milk to use for this recipe will vary depending on kind of rice and how liquid you like your porridge to be. I used exactly 2 cups.]]>
This salad has interesting combination of ingredients: sweet peas with pineapples and ham (or canadian bacon) mixed with lettuce.
Freshly boiled peas can be substituted for canned peas on this one, but canned ones are some what easier to find.
Assemble salad right before you plan to serve it, lettuce will not keep freshness and crispness for long after slicing.]]>
So I discovered carrots and ginger combination while working on last week recipe. And I decided to take it one step further: today with carrots and ginger soup-puree.
It is spicy, unusual and absolutely delicious. To my surprise even my better half liked it (and he is not too thrilled with either carrots or ginger).
You can use cup blender instead of hand one, if blender cup isn't big enough to hold whole pot, just work in batches. But I must say hand blender is much easier to use here.]]>
This is refreshing and somewhat spicy salad made with carrots, raisins and ginger.
It tastes great by itself, or with meat or poultry.
You can make salad more or less spicy by adjusting amount of ginger you use: more ginger will make more spicy salad.]]>
I saw veal rolls with pear meal in some TV show once and wanted to try it ever since.
The combination of ingredients in this recipe is unusual, veal is pretty expensive and somewhat hard to find here in US. This is probably the reason why I got to this recipe only now.
I used veal scallopini here, because they are already sliced, and it is easier to pick meat pieces of right amount and size. But you can also use whole piece of veal meat and slice it yourself. As for the pear, use ripe fragrant pear for better results.]]>
Spring is right around the corner. And even though nowadays you can buy fresh vegetables all year around, in spring they taste somehow special. Maybe this is a way how body let's you know it needs to be replenished with vitamins.
This is why I am publishing this recipe for salad made of fresh bell peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes with boiled white chicken meat and a bit of cheese.
By the way, mayo in the dressing can be mixed with sour cream for skinnier version.]]>
This is pretty easy recipe for sugar sprinkled puff pastry cookies which can be made from either ready-to-use puff pastry dough, or homemade one. Either way the recipe isn't too complicated to follow.
I used whole sheet of puff pastry dough prepared for last week recipe (that was made from 2 cups of flour, 8 oz of margarine and 2/3 cups of water). That yielded me 2 full cookie sheets (2 batches) of 36 cookies each.
You can adjust size of the cookies by playing with the dough: thinner dough rolled into smaller rolls will produce smaller cookies, thicker dough or/and bigger rolls will produce bigger ones.
If you like cookies to be more sweet, roll dough slices in sugar before putting them to the cookie sheet (but for me it is a bit too sweet, so I usually skip this part).]]>
Real puff pastry dough is taking a lot of time to make from scratch, most of the times it is easier to just buy it instead. Another alternative could be to try this easier and much faster variant.
Disclaimer first: this dough will probably not be a best choice for some fancy croissants or so, but it will work great for layered cakes, pies, sugar cookies, and such.
Either butter or margarine will work for this recipe, I used margarine. Make sure you don't let ingredients and dough itself warm up, if you need to pause while making the dough, put it to the fridge to cool down.
Prepared dough can be used right away, or can be frozen for later use, make sure to use freezer bag.]]>
Perfect recipe for breakfast or brunch, especially on a weekend.
Summer squashes or zucchinis or a combination of these will work for this recipe. One or two, depending on their size and size of skillet you use. You will need just enough to form a single layer.
I used italian blend of cheeses, it worked perfectly. Other cheese or combination of cheese to your liking will work as well.]]>
This salad is often referred to as "Shrimps Under Fur Coat" salad, here two shrimp layers are dressed in layer of grated potatoes, eggs, mayo and topped with red caviar.
I know red caviar is not something people here buy and eat all that often, but if you decide to try this salad I suggest to get caviar from the local european or russian store.
This salad need some time to settle down after assembling, so prepare it at least 6 hours prior to serving.]]>
This recipe gives me another chance to advertise the benefit of homemade drinks over store sold soda full of sugar and god knows what else: making drink for yourself gives you control over how much sugar it has exactly.
Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries are nice choice for this kompot, strawberries are nice addition too. I used frozen berry mix - it is cheaper and easier to get, however fresh berries will work the same well.
Fruit and berry kompot taste great warm, or cooled down to room temperature, or iced, whatever you prefer more. Fruits from the kompot taste great too, you can serve them with or without kompot.]]>
This is interesting recipe for a holiday or romantic dinner: tender chicken rolls stuffed with oranges.
Small orange segments are easier to wrap, so try to find small oranges. It is also important that oranges are not bitter and don't have seeds.
Chicken rolls stuffed with oranges taste great when paired with potato side(s), for example with mashed potatoes.]]>
One more salad for holiday table: lighter salad with crab sticks, red beans, tomatoes, bell pepper and cheese. It is pretty fast to make because doesn't require any prep work: nothing to boil or cook prior to assembling.
I used italian blend of shredded cheese, but any hard cheese you like will work. If you have whole piece of cheese, you can dice it instead of shredding.
Adjust amount of garlic to your liking, if whole clove seems a bit too much use only half of it.]]>
This unusual combination of ingredients yields pretty interesting salad. And it tastes best then prepared right before serving.
Original recipe calls for 10 quail eggs, but I find them somehow hard to find here, so I used 2 chicken eggs as replacement.
Pineapples themselves are optional ingredient, you can skip on them if you wish so, but with them salad tastes more interesting.]]>
One more recipe for fried rice, this time with shrimps.
As any fried rice, it is pretty easy and fast to cook, especially if you use frozen vegetables, just don't forget to unfreeze them as well as shrimps in advance before cooking.
Most of the salt for this recipe comes from soy sauce, only eggs need a bit of additional salting.]]>
It is a holiday season. In slavic world rare holiday table will go by without tons of salads, actually none will.
This is why I will try to focus on salad recipes these couple of week (as much as I can, during with my vacation to Ukraine).
This salad recipe calls for just few ingredients: chicken, mushrooms, eggs and mayo are main ingredients. And there is no onions or garlic, which makes this salad a good choice for lunch on a go.]]>
Vegetables with cream are pretty easy to cook and they make a great side dish for meat or poultry. It can also be served as a no-meat course.
I used carrots, broccoli and cauliflower florets with peas for this recipe, but it will also work good with green beans, zucchini, brussels sprouts, whatever you have on your hands.
The same, you can use either fresh vegetables or frozen ones, or a combination of these. For example, for this recipe I used fresh broccoli and cauliflower with frozen sliced carrots and frozen peas.]]>
This is my first take on stuffed jumbo pasta shells, but I will must say it will not not be last: there are so many stuffings these may work nicely with.
In this recipe pasta is stuffed with five cheeses (ricotta, provolone, mozzarella and romano), fresh parsley and egg mix.
For sauce I tried something new too: that is canned crushed tomatoes, usually I avoid using canned vegetables, but these worked well for sauce and saved me quite some time too.]]>
It was a bit unusual for me to learn that name for this kind of flaky breakfast breads is "biscuits", at least this is what they are called here in US.
There are variations of biscuits prepared with milk, or buttermilk, my recipe uses kefir. Kefir consistency may vary, for more thick kefir you may need to use more than a cup. For better results, use butter and kefir cooled down directly from fridge.
Flaky kefir biscuits taste perfect when served warm with a slice of butter, for breakfast or brunch.]]>
Unusual combination of ingredients which produces interesting taste results: chicken pieces roasted under sauce made of mixture of melted butter, mustard, honey and curry.
This recipe is good choice for romantic or family dinner, leftovers can be reheated and served for lunch.
You can use chicken thighs (like I did), or drums, or a whole chicken sliced into portion pieces. Please note that drums will require less time for cooking.]]>
Quick to make and simple salad with chicken meat and tomatoes seasoned with mayo and garlic.
Tomatoes will produce juice after cutting, so it is better to assemble this salad right before you plan to serve it.
A lot in this salad will depend on how tasty tomatoes are, so pick good and ripe ones.]]>
Whole chicken smeared with mayo and garlic mix and roasted in an oven bag is probably the easiest way to cook a whole chicken.
Oven bag can be replaced by cooking foil, just cover baking pan with chicken in it with one or two layers.
When checking if chicken is cooked through use meat thermometer (around 160F-170F), or go by clear juices produced when you pierce chicken around thigh, or just by time - around 1.5h at 350F.]]>
Couple of years ago we discovered Snowville Creamery. This creamery is local to Columbus OH area and it produces milk, half-half and whipping cream amongst other dairy products. These are absolutely delicious but only come in a half-gallon cartons.
And if I can find something to do with a half-gallon of milk, whipping cream is absolutely other matter: it is not so easy to use all of it (not unless I plan to eat whipped cream every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner for couple days in a row) in time.
Did I mention that Snowville Creamery whipping cream is absolutely delicious? It would be an absolute shame to let it spoil. So when I buy a whole carton and I only need a cup or two of it for some recipe, I do butter from the rest.
By the way, if you can't find Snowville Creamery products nearby, make sure you use 100% not homogenized whipping cream instead, with no extra ingredients in it (check the label!).]]>
I think pumpkin porridge ("garbuzova kasha" or "tykvennaja kasha") is somewhat unusual dish in this part of the globe.
But it is quite popular in slavic world. My grandma always cooked it at fall, with milk and millet and, of course, pumpkin.
Raisins are nice addition to the recipe, all though they are optional, so are walnuts or dried apricots.
Cooking millet may take some time (and liquid). If you need to speed things up a bit, rinse millet seeds in couple of changes of warm water, or even let them soak in water for some time before cooking.]]>
Fall is season not only for pumpkins but apples too. And I love baked apples.
Sticking apple into an oven is probably an easiest way to cook them. Baking apples in a dough as dumplings is a bit more sophisticated, but not whole a lot more complicated.
You can play a bit with taste: add cinnamon, or stuff apple with some raisins or nuts to your taste.
Baked apple dumplings taste the best when served warm.]]>
It is a pumpkin harvest time. That said, it is a time for pumpkin vegetable soup-puree: bright in color and rich in nutrients meat-free soup.
You can use canned vegetable broth for this one, or prepare your own from scratch by following these easy step by step instructions like I did. Just remember that canned broths usually are pretty salty, so you may need reduce amount of salt you add to the soup.
Equal amount of sour cream can be substituted for heavy cream if you feel like it.]]>
Making vegetable broth isn't such a hard thing to do: get bunch of roots and vegetables, stick them all in a pot and in about 1-1.5h you will get a vegetable broth to use for a soup or another dish which you know what it is made of (unlike a canned one).
Good thing about making vegetable broth yourself is that you can use vegetables left over from other dishes: stems from greens (parsley or dill), stem from white cabbage or stem and leaves from cauliflower, greens from leeks, etc - bits and pieces that you wouldn't have any use for otherwise.
You can boil fresh vegetables just fine, however the method with roasting vegetables first produce more tasting and colorful broth. If you are looking to get more colorful broth keep inner clean brown layer of onion shell on, using more carrot will help too.]]>
Many stores started moving their Halloween products to prime spots in preparation to the holiday.
It seems a bit early to me, but hey, at least these are not Thanksgiving turkeys or Christmas decorations yet (even though some shops are probably thinking about dusting off some of these too).
So I decided to get on this train as well, and this week post will be not really a recipe (even though it has big deal to do with food), but rather a food decoration how-to.
This is a first one for me, so I hope you like it. Any kind of deviled eggs will look good with these spiders on, however choose these which also taste good with olives you are going to use.]]>
Blue cheese and boiled egg yolks seasoned with fresh parsley, tobasco sauce and mayo tastes a bit unusual and a bit spicy. But if you are true lover of blue cheese this recipe is definitely for you.
By the way if you like it to be more spice - use a bit more tobasco sauce, or you can skip the sauce all together otherwise.
If you would like eggs to look a bit more festive, use pastry bag with a star tip on it to arrange stuffing mix into egg halves, simple ziplock can be used too (just staff mix into it, seal it and cut one of tips off), or just a tea spoon.]]>
Shrimps and asparagus with dill and cream is quite unusual combination for me, but I must say it tastes delicious. I ate something similar when we lived in Austria and wanted to reproduce the recipe ever since.
It tastes especially good if asparagus is young and you manage to not overcook it to keep crunchy texture. Lemon juice helps to brings the best taste out of asparagus.
By the way, if you use frozen shrimps, thaw completely them before adding to salad.]]>
This is one of recipes of ukrainian cuisine, after all it is named after capital of Ukraine - Kiev / Kyiv, but it is pretty popular through rest of former USSR countries.
Chicken Kiev is no ordinary recipe, but definitely one worth time spent: tender chicken meat folded around herb butter, covered in breadcrumbs and egg batter and cooked.
The trick is to fold meat and coat cutlets in batter in a way that herb butter doesn't leak through holes while deep frying.]]>
Herb or herbed butter is not only a good way to dress plain butter for further use, but also a good way to preserve fresh dill if you have too much on your hands and no other use for it.
For some reasons stores here choose to sell dill in such big bunches that it is sometimes too hard to put it all to use before dill spoils. By the way, you can mix other fresh herbs to prepare herb butter.
Herb butter is essential ingredient of Chicken Kiev recipe (which goes out next week), but it can be also used on steaks, fish, potato or other vegetables.]]>
Meat stewed with mushrooms and vegetables in beer. It works good for dinner, left overs can be reheated for lunch. Boiled potato side dishes will go good with such meat.
I used beef for this recipe, but it will work good with either pork or beef. Tomato paste or canned tomatoes can be used instead of fresh tomatoes.
Amount of beer to use for this recipe will depend on the size of the pot you use, it should be enough to cover meat completely while cooking.]]>
I just realized that my website doesn't have any scrambled egg recipes published by now. So here is an attempt to fix this issue.
Obviously, this recipe is good for breakfast or brunch, or just for any time when you need to fix something to eat fast. Amount of ingredients is good for 2 portions.
You can use ham, just like I did, or canadian bacon, or hot dogs, or another kind of sausage you like. Taste will be slightly different.]]>
One of visitors of forum I am often read shared this recipe, and I had to try it: it seems both easy to do and very unusual.
And turned out great: chicken meat pieces, mixed with mushroom pieces and cheese, tasty, juicy, melty and just great!
I tried two kinds of side dish with chicken and mushroom cutlets: boiled potatoes and boiled buckwheat, and I liked it. I think fresh veggies salad will be a good addition.]]>
This is very easy way to cook salmon, you just need to put marinade together, pour it over salmon and then cook salmon together with marinade.
I used portion salmon fillets for this recipe (6oz each), but salmon steaks or a whole salmon fish will work here as well. For cooking whole fish increase marinating time for couple of hours or even do it overnight, and bake it instead of frying.
Fresh vegetables or boiled potato are good side dishes for salmon cooked this way.]]>
I was short on time this couple of weeks having visitors at home and at work. So I didn't have much time to prepare a recipe in time for today.
It is a bit unusual of me to use "ready-to-use" ingredients in my food, but they save time if you need it to attend to other things.
Crescent dough sold in store makes decent rolls, which are good when you need to cook something to bite fast. So here is one of recipes for these.
I used ham as meat for this recipe, because that is what I had in my fridge. But you can be creative and use cooked bacon, or canadian bacon, or hot dogs, or another sausage, or a combination of these to your taste.]]>

Talking! Laughing! Loving! Breathing!
The L Word
Sundays at 9:00 p.m.
I probably started watching The L Word for the wrong reasons. Lest you accuse me of blatant bi-curious rubbernecking, rest assured that my motives were chaste (though Jennifer Beals and tribadism are an admittedly seductive pairing). No, I started watching because I needed a potent chaser after a particularly effective episode of Grey's Anatomy. The romantic antics at Dempsey Memorial Hospital got me feeling deliriously McDreamy, and I wasn't ready to come down from my TV high.
I flipped to Showtime (generally a landfill) out of desperation and found myself sucked into Season 2 of Ilene Chaiken's controversial lesbian drama before you could say "strap-on." By the time Season 3's premiere rolled around, I was a full-on addict, Googling episode spoilers and writing "Mrs. Diablo Beals" in cursive on my notebooks. Now that's a fast-acting drug!
But for all my n00bie enthusiasm, the show isn't that great. There, I said it. The word "overwrought" comes to mind, and I'm not just referring to the horrendous theme song, which sounds like an outtake from Hair and helpfully informs us that lesbians enjoy "Talking! Laughing! Loving! Breathing!" just like normal people. The whole premise suffers from Aaron Spelling-itis: It's Melrose Place with dental dams. For one thing, nearly every woman in Chaiken's microcosm is stunning and well-built, and looks excellent while thrashing around topless in pools, showers, and other conveniently wet environments. Granted, the characters live in West Hollywood, where the guy who changes your oil looks like Eric Bana.
But even the token butches on this show appear to bathe in Crème de la Mer and shop at Daryl K. This is probably a laudable attempt to defy convention (no stereotypical diesels for middle America to mock), but the couples are so ridiculously pretty that the average woman longs to see a dimple of cellulite or an enlarged pore just to remind her that she's a member of the same species.
Then there's "The Chart," the L-Word's signature framing device. This is a cute idea in theory: We can trace each character through various hookups and love affairs, kind of like a Sapphic family tree. It's hard to keep up. Art-world maven Bette (Beals) is partnered with studio executive Tina (Laurel Holloman) who once strayed with wealthy Helena (Rachel Shelley) who has a crush on flaky Alice (Leisha Hailey) who used to be obsessed with Laura (Erin Daniels) but is currently getting kinky with a bloodthirsty goth named Uta. That sexual litany doesn't even include resident tomcat Shane (the sublime Katherine Moennig), who has fucked just about everyone, or Jenny (Mia Kirshner) an earnest, self-mutilating novelist who went from dating standard-issue men to shagging transgender boys in just two short seasons.
This tangle of relationships is fun to follow, but the writers' depiction of the romantic aftermath is beyond farfetched. For instance, we're supposed to believe that these people can all remain trusted friends--with minimal awkwardness--despite the fact that they can't seem to stay out of each others' Chip and Pepper jeans. I can't imagine any other show that would depict a woman visiting her dying lover in the hospital, accompanied by her lover's former stalker. No biggie, right? We're all buds! Or how about the way Bette politely fraternizes with Helena, a woman who just months ago slept with Bette's life partner?
In reality, these people would be avoiding each other, not enjoying civil, giggly brunches on sunlit terraces. This anything-goes tactic feels as if the writers are straining to assert the storied fluidity of lesbian lifestyles: See? We're generous with our sexuality! But the overall effect serves to cheapen the actual relationships. Everything is so short-lived and out in the open that nothing seems sacred.
One aspect of the show is predictably stellar: the sex scenes. You can't say they don't take risks. What other show would unblinkingly depict a pregnant character stripping down and receiving oral sex poolside? (The fact that actress Laurel Holloman was actually expecting at the time makes the scene all the more bold--one hopes she hangs on to some production stills for Junior's baby book.) Another daring scene featured Moira, a character who routinely wears a dildo under her pants, sticking the prosthetic into guest star Alan Cumming's eager mouth. This oddly artificial and yet incredibly hot encounter between a gay man and a lesbian bent TV convention in a real and exciting way. And although it didn't literally involve sex, an episode where scruffy Shane donned a dress and hair extensions to meet her closeted girlfriend's family had an undercurrent of eros that made fans squeal.
The L Word is clearly doing something right. Ratings are at an all-time high right now, and a surprising number of new viewers are discovering the show each week. Showtime is apparently ecstatic about its performance. I can't help but wonder if many of these newly baptized L-heads stumbled across the show as inadvertently as I did. It's like finding a smoldering crack pipe in the snow. Before you even realize what it is, you're hooked and babbling.
I guess I can suffer through the stilted writing and intrusive score if the reward is Kate Moennig in a wet tank top. Weren't we supposed to watch this for the sex anyway?

All celebrities need to look their best each day as the paparazzi and fans are constantly gazing at them, interested in their signature beauty secrets. Although most stars look great all the time, each celeb is put together in their own way, which is why it's important to understand how they make certain makeup trends work for their unique skin and features. Glamour magazine recently broke down the most popular trends in Hollywood.
A top trend in cosmetics currently is glitter and metallics. Fashion icon Kate Moss made the trend work on her face by creating a show stopping look out of glittering shadow in shades of both gold and silver. She added ever more sparkle on her lips and cheeks, opting for a shimmering pink lipstick and tangerine-toned bronzer on her high cheekbones.
Naturally beautiful Freida Pinto played with metallics as well, using shimmering charcoal and gold shades of shadow. The addition really made her big brown eyes pop and using the charcoal color underneath the eye added a hint of sparkle in an unlikely place. Fashion risk taker Emma Watson used similar cosmetics as Pinto, however she made sure to push the colors way over the top. The resident witch went bold - using the dark metallic charcoal eyeshadow on her top and bottom eyelids. She added shimmering gold shadow at the corner and crease of her eyes which totally stood out and kept all attention on her fashion forward approach to cosmetics.
Model Doutzen Kroes represented the brighter side of metallics while working the red carpet. She went uber light - using a shimmering coral and gold toned eyeshadow on her lids and also as blush on her cheeks. The mega model kept the good times rolling, opting for a tangerine shade lipstick with shimmering gold specks. This look was quite surprising and made her look healthy and youthful.
Ladies looking to try out metallics have a wide variety of different fashions to experiment with. Those who might want to use a different shade each day should look for at least a 120 eyeshadow palette so they never run out of choices. Purchasing shimmering blush and makeup brushes in different sizes will allow you to use your cosmetics in countless ways.
Everyone who loves eye makeup knows about the smokey eye, as it is one look that brings major drama every time. Although this old faithful is good for numerous occasions, some celebrities have found new ways to spice it up.
Katy Perry is known for her wacky cosmetics, so it's no surprise she took her smokey look out of this world. Instead of playing it safe with traditional black, Perry opted to go smokey with golden brown and copper eyeshadow. She added more shadow under her eyes and made the look even more sultry with jet black eyeliner on her upper and lower lids and tons of black, volumizing mascara.
Another fun way to make the smokey eye your own is to use pastel-toned eyeshadow, Elle magazine reports. Dick Page, the makeup artist for Michael Kors' Spring 2010 collection told the source that using pastels can really "amp-up" versions seen on the runways.
Girls can try incorporating shades of light purples, blues, aquas, creams and even a subdued gray/black to their lids in replacement of commonly used darker tones. Add black eyeliner to the upper and lower lids to make the mellow colors pop even more.
Mischa Barton's makeup is at least making a comeback, even if her career is not. The former O.C. star showed off her own version of a smokey eye to Glamour magazine, that worked to make her gray-blue eyes stand out. Barton went dramatic using ice blue and black eyeshadow to create the smokey look. She adorned the corners of her eyes with the ice blue shade and the rest of her lids with the dark black shadow. Barton added a shimmering cream tone of eyeshadow right below her eyebrows to push the lighter version of the smokey eye over the top.
Girls can take their own version of the smokey eye into the future by using neons or bright shades of shadow to make the look their own.

no, op is trying to compare a linear FPS to a open-world TPS. Thats like comparing a chicken to a sailboat, just doesn't make any sense.
Yes, but in all fairness, Rockstar DID promote the MP like it was more of a shooter, and they DEFINITELY argued that this game was much different than GTA 4.
When, in reality, it's the same exact game in a different setting. Which isn't a bad thing, but they definitely led some people astray with their marketing.
Exactly. This is GTA 4 without cars. Same engine (software), pretty much same controls. Matter of fact, last night I thought I heard someone call me "Niko".
Re: Red Dead DUD!
Dude are you serious? There is always a crying baby, talking about skills? Really games are about fun, oh and sorry if i was the one that frustrated you in online gameplay
Re: Red Dead DUD!
To each their own I say. While the OP may not be happy with the MP portion of this game I find it rather refreshing from the "old man who can't shoot the bad guys if his life depended on it" fps point of view.
Did some free roam last night with many community members and had a blast. Tonight we hit the competitive modes for even more fun.
To the OP I say this....It's all good and your opinion of the game is justified from your perspective.
Happy gaming my friends and remember...if the colon is broke...your gonna be in a poop storm of hurt.

Re: Red Dead DUD!
The game has been out for a day. The single player is strong but on more than a few occasions I found myself really enjoying the multi-player. How much time have you actually spent playing the game? and to even begin to suggest the multi-player for GTA4 was/is solid is completely mental. It was pretty marginal with every game mode having the same theme. I expect posts like this but at least be realistic in your assessment. You may also want to wait for the game to be out longer than a few days before passing judgment based on the multiplayer no one is used too.

GSoC2013 Web Payments WebKeys Client
the Web Payments work, will have a huge impact on the way that we deal with money as a society on the Web. It has very far-reaching implications and will lay the groundwork for a fully programmable financial network that will be accessible to everyone on the Web. The goal of the work is the democratization of finance; it will place the financial tools that have typically only been available to large banks and corporations into the hands of everyday people.

Link to project description: http://www.w3.org/wiki/GSoC2013_Web_Payments_WebKeys_Client
Describe your idea in detail:The Web Payments work, if successful, will have a huge impact on the way that we deal with money as a society on the Web, The Web Payments work is built on top of the previous two technologies, RDFa and JSON-LD. Manu Sporny :"The Web has fundamentally transformed the way we publish and interact with information. However, the way we reward people for creating that content has not changed. The Web's foundation was not built to transmit and receive funds with the same ease as sending and receiving an email"
The Web Payment Requirements
- It must be decentralized.
- It must be an open, patent and royalty-free standard.
- It must be designed to work with Web architecture like URLs, HTTP, and other Web standards.
- It must allow anyone to implement the standard and interoperate with others that implement the standard.
The above requirement Which Manu Sporny has described before that there is another requirement that it will be good feature for web payment
- It must enable choice among customers, vendors, and payment processors, in order to drive healthy market competition.
- It must be extensible in a decentralized way, allowing application-specific extensions to the core protocol without coordination.
- It must be flexible enough to perform payments as well as support higher order economic behaviors like crowdfunding and executing legal contracts.
- It must be secure, using the latest security best practices to protect the entire system from attack.
- It must be currency agnostic, supporting not only the US Dollar, the Euro, and the Japanese Yen, but also supporting virtual currencies like Bitcoin and Ven.
- It must be easy to develop for and integrate into the Web.
So from my point of view the future web-service will be depend on:
- Message verifiability
- Secure messaging
- Dynamic access control to resources
The challenge has always been in building an extensible, distributed, Public Key Infrastructure for the Web. This specification details how a decentralized Public Key Infrastructure can be built on top of the Web using Linked Data principles. This system can then be used to easily achieve message verifiability, secure messaging, and dynamic access control to resources on the Web.
Manu Sporny said: Web Keys are not a replacement for Transport Layer Security, but are designed to work in concert with the security protocol. Web Keys are also capable of in environments where TLS is not available to the application.
What have you done so far with this idea: Include any work or research on this project you have already done. Sharing the project idea on the appropriate mailing list in advance of your application is a good idea; if you have done so, summarize the list response to your project idea/approach. Note: summarize the discussion here; do NOT just link to the mailing list archive.
Anticipated challenges: Identify any challenges or risks there are to the project not being as successful as you hope or not being complete by the end of the GSoC term.
Potential mentors: If you have identified a person(s) to mentor you on this project, please name him/her here. If you have already been in communication with this person(s), please summarize your discussions so far (i.e., have you asked for feedback on the scope, have you already started talking about code approaches?). If you have not spoken with any mentors yet, but are interested in working with someone specific, say who and why. If you have no preference on who mentors you, just write, "No preference."
Schedule of Deliverables
Milestones and deliverables schedule: What are the milestones and deliverables for your project? It should take the form of a list with dates and deliverables. A task and/or milestone for each week of the development period is a good idea, since it will help your mentor keep you on track to complete your project. For example:
- Month/Date - Revise project plan with mentor, set up development environment
- Month/Date - Determine how to structure plugin, begin coding
- Month/Date - Submit first draft code for review
etc. You get the idea. The more detailed you are, the more convinced we'll be that you've thought about this project realistically. If accepted, the first thing you'll do will be to work with your mentor to define a very specific commitment regarding deliverables and schedule to determine eligibility for full student payment at the halfway mark and at the end of the program. This will help limit disappointment for both mentors and students.
Other commitments: Do you have any other commitments during this time that could impact your ability to be online, coding and/or communicating with your mentor? Include school, work and family commitments.
Open Source Development Experience
Coding Experience: Explain all relevant prior experience that you have had with programming for an open source project. Languages, toolkits, IDEs, how do you work best (group or individual-based work, etc.). This may be other closed source projects, but giving a link to previous open source work that you've done would be ideal.
Work Experience
Work Experience: List any work experience you've had relevant to the proposed project, blogging, or software development. If you've bagged groceries, it's probably not relevant, but it shows that you can work in a collaborative environment, so a full resume isn't a bad idea!

"We've built the premier dental implant center in Southern California," says oral surgeon Dr. Joel S. Berger.
Our mission is to improve your health through our transformative dental implant procedure. Many dentists ONLY use all on 4 implants to support a full arch of teeth but we use 5 and even 6 implants to ensure a successful long term outcome.We feel that ONLY using 4 can be a costly shortcut as studies are now revealing that using only four has a higher failure rate.
Come to our next Free Seminar at PermaDontics. Seminars are held the first Monday of every month at 12:30PM and the third Tuesday of the month at 530PM. Call today to RSVP.

Some people will probably choke to hear what I'm about
to relay -
In my first painting class we used flat white latex
wall paint instead of gesso (economics for painting 1
projects that many of us wouldn't keep - I actually
have to thank that professor for that...)
I have heard that these house paints can yellow over
time - however, my folks have one of these paintings
from 1988, and so far that hasn't happened. (It is
happening to Pollack's paintings though) I know it
hasn't happened to my work because I had to touch up
an area the other day and the color was holding fast.
It's may only be a $10 - 20 difference depending on
your gesso source.
(In my second class, I learned that gesso has a glue
in it that helps tighten the canvas. I pretty much
always use it on canvas, unless I'm doing something
where I want to have the canvas show through.)
I'm only mentioning it because if I were doing murals
each year or so, this is what I would do...
I think that they only drawback to using hosepaint is
that it would have a tendency to drip. I haven't
heard anyone complain about it on the list though.
Good luck - Dawn

Planet Software provides world class software development services. We design, architect and develop enterprise-class applications utilising Microsoft and open standard technologies.
Our reputation for delivering well architected solutions on time, and with all requirements met, is due to excellent communication and our unique development process. Some of our custom applications that were developed 16 years ago are still in day to day service: Ministerial correspondence is tracked across South Australian government using an application that Planet Software won awards for in 1999. Also in South Australia, objections to the valuation of property land values are still managed using a product called eValue, developed by Planet Software a decade ago.
Our experience will help lower the risk inherent in change, and result in time efficiencies that will save you money both in the short term and long.
Recent projects have utilised technologies such as Angular, Xamarin, HTML5, Microsoft Azure, SharePoint, MVC, ASP.NET, WPF; this list is constantly evolving as we embrace the latest/greatest to the benefit of our clients.
Internationalisation, Localisation and Beyond
At Planet Software we are passionate about producing software that can adapt to different languages and regional differences. The world is a big place, and failing to take language and culture into account limits the scope of a solution to a small part of the market.
Our Year View product demonstrates how multiple languages can be supported, even providing Hebrew as an option which requires right-to-left display.
Our Sonia product is culture aware, and aside from dealing with standard date formatting differences, determines whether a user will want to see distance in miles or kilometres based on their region.
We are a multi-cultural organisation, and between our staff we can speak English, Italian, Chinese, Polish, German, French, and Spanish!

Practice Diplomacy
The U.S. Diplomacy Center has developed immersive education programs that teach about the world of diplomacy and the critical work of the Department of State. These programs are designed to meet the U.S. Diplomacy Center's goals of explaining the role of American diplomacy past and present and of inspiring young people to become the next generation of leaders and citizen diplomats.
At the heart of the U.S. Diplomacy Center's education programs is the diplomatic simulation. In this immersive exercise, students and teachers represent various stakeholder perspectives while engaging on a critical global issue such as the environment, the crisis in Darfur or HIV/AIDS.
The goal is for participants to work together, as opposing countries with competing interests, to negotiate common ground and propose solutions. The simulation engages participants in diplomacy and the work of the Department of State and inspires them to become involved.
The simulations are aimed to develop decision-making, problem solving, conflict resolution and negotiation skills, and allow students to grapple with vital foreign affairs topics. The simulation experience helps students to understand how diplomats work multilaterally to tackle tough issues while bringing diplomacy to life and illuminating its influence across the globe.
Diplomatic simulation programs include:
- Printed materials
- On-site training
- Digital Video Conferencing
The USDC also trains teachers to run the simulations in the classroom.
Currently available simulation exercises:
- Crisis in Darfur: Negotiation a Solution
- A National HIV/AIDS Program for Botswana
- Oceans and Fisheries: Saving the Depleting Fish Population
- Protection & Prevention: Minorities, Refugees & International Resolution
The U. S. Diplomacy Center education programs fill a need for civic education in the area of diplomacy by informing students of diplomacy's role in our nation's history and relevance at home, at school and on the job. Lesson plans are keyed to National Standards of Learning and emphasize 21st century skills that are also the tools of diplomacy: creativity and innovation; critical thinking and problem solving; and communication and collaboration. These skills are keys to success for the next generation of global citizens.
Contact the USDC Education Officer at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 202-736-9044 to schedule a diplomatic simulation.

How to Use - Historical Climate Data
The Notice Inventory contains a record of all past and current Notices.
We'd like to hear from you! Please click Contact Us to share your comments and suggestions.
How do I obtain historical weather data for a particular location and date (e.g. what was the weather on February 4, 2006 at White Rock, British Columbia)?
To view historical weather data for a particular location and date, visit our home page or click on the "Historical Climate Data" link within the main menu "Data" tab. Follow steps 1-3 to obtain the data you are interested in:
Step 1 - Select data interval
Three options are provided: hourly, daily, and monthly. Note that all three data intervals are not available for all possible stations; it depends on what was observed at each site. For this particular example, select a data interval of 'hourly' to obtain the hourly breakdown of the weather for the day in question.
Step 2 - Select date
Depending on the data interval selected, you will be provided with a combination of the following dropdown menu options: year, month and day. For example, if you select a data interval of monthly, you will only be given the option to select from the year dropdown menu. If you select a data interval of daily, you will be able to specify the year and month of interest. If a data interval of hourly is selected, all three dropdown options will be available. For this example, select year = 2006, month = February, and day = 4.
Step 3 - Type in location name and select Search
Type in the name of the location you are interested in and select the Search button. The more characters you type in, the more refined the list becomes. Two radio buttons are located below the text box. This allows users the option of either searching for a station that "contains" a string of characters or searching for a station that "begins with" a phrase. If you are not sure of a station's name, use "contains" which is the default search option. For this example, type = 'White Rock' and select the Search button.
Results of your search criteria (Steps 1-3) will be displayed on a Station Results page:
When you see the location, interval and dates that you were looking for, select the Go button to access the data.
If you still cannot find the location you are looking for, hit the Back button to revise your search criteria or click on the Advanced Search link under the main menu "Data" tab. For information on using the Advanced Search tool, click the "How to Use" button found on the Advanced Search page.
For a list of other historical data tools and products from the National Climate Archives, visit any of the main menu tabs listed at the top of the page (Data, About the Data and Resources).

Its been quite a year for Cate Blanchett (pictured right, courtesy Marion Curtis/StarPix), she is starring in three big fall films this year, "Babel" (in theaters now), "The Good German" (opening next week), and "Notes on a Scandal" (coming later this month). I saw the film on Sunday night at a special Fox Searchlight screening organized by Peggy Siegal.
"Notes on a Scandal" is a surprisingly intense thriller with winning performances from Blanchett and Judi Dench, whose characters develop a dark, co-dependent relationship in the film. During the post-screening dinner at Osteria del Circo, Siegal led Blanchett around the room for a meet and greet. She had missed the showing due to a "Babel" Q & A across town, but at Circo, she hyped "Scandal."
By the time she got to our table, she admitted that she was tired of talking about herself, but Blanchett did offer sincere thanks for taking the time to watch what she called her, "vampiric lesbian film." She also offered a bit of insight into "I'm Not There," the new Todd Haynes film in which she is one of many actors to portray Bob Dylan. Also coming up for Blanchett is her return to the role of Queen Elizabeth in Shekhar Kapur's "Golden Age" and David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
More on Cate, the Observer offered a profile in an interview this past weekend....

FIU take game 1 and first place in the Belt
Well, the Kitties came out swinging and knocked off the Owls 9-7 Thursday night to take game 1 of the series.
That ended FAU's hopes of winning back-to-back regular season titles, and, since South Alabama beat Troy on a walkoff home run, it put the Kitties on top of the Belt, a half game ahead of Troy, with two games to play.
FAU is already in the Belt tournament, but could slide down quite a way in seeding.
Kitties show off their dog pile after winning last year's Belt tournament.
Here are the standings as of this morning…
Troy 19-9
SoBama 15-13
The tournament has a different setup this year, with two pools of four teams playing a round-robin, and then the two top teams play each other in a one-game championship.
Here's what the bracket.
That assures every team of at least three games, which is a good thing. There is also a rest day built in, so you won't have teams using up their pitching staffs and creating 13-12 kind of games at the end.
As hot as FIU is right now – they are 16-0-1 in their last 17 – they would have to be the favorites.
FAU's best chance of a win is tonight with Paul Davis (9-1, 2.77 ERA) on the mound. 6 p.m. first pitch.

Associated Press Release
MACON, Ga. (AP) -- The Band of the U.S. Air Force Reserve at Robins Air Force Base has played its final public performance.
Band members performed with the Macon Symphony Youth Orchestra at Mercer University on Saturday. The band is being deactivated as part of the Air Force's cost-cutting measures.
The conductor, 1st Lt. Thomas Gamboa, told The Telegraph that the concert was a little difficult and bittersweet because the band has had a good relationship with the area.
The conductor of the Macon Youth Symphony, Jonathan Baker, said the Air Force musicians are as good as those in any symphony orchestra. He said the Macon area will miss their involvement in music programs ranging from churches to schools.
The band was formed in 1941 and has been at Robins since 1961.

Gosling: I Got a Rash From 'Squad' Suit
January 02, 2013
Ryan Gosling may look good in his Gangster Squad suit, but he wasn't so much a fan of the costume.
"The wool was quite itchy, so I had a rash," Gosling, 32, admitted during a Beverly Hills press event for the movie (via People.com). "I channeled that irritation into my hatred for the gangsters," he quipped.
Josh Brolin, Gosling's Gangster co-star, agreed about the wool suits, also calling them "itchy and tight."
Gangster Squad, out Jan. 11, is about the LAPD's fight to keep East Coast mafia types out of Los Angeles in the '40s and '50s. Gosling plays Sgt. Jerry Wooters and in preparing for the role met with Wooters' real-life family. "His kids came to the set and told me a lot of stories and a lot of great details. Like, when he would ash his cigarette, he would ash into the cuff of his pants," the actor shared. "Then at the end of the day, he would dump out his cuffs, dump out all the ashes."
Check out the trailer for the highly anticipated film, also starring Sean Penn and Emma Stone, below:

Many years of elemental exposure had reduced towering columns to mere stumps, grand walls to waist high inconveniences. Age had allowed the forest to overcome the ruins. Great oaks had torn apart the stone with immense root systems and brush had cluttered the grounds. Peace that only time could bring whispered through the ruins, mixed with the slightest hint of sorrow.A young boy, not a day over eleven, hid behind a larger section of the ruined walls.

Comment on: Visinoni et al. The Role of Liver Fructose-1,6-Bisphosphatase in Regulating Appetite and Adiposity. Diabetes 2012;61:1122–1132
- From the Gene Expression–Microarrays Laboratory, Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital, IRCCS, Rome, Italy
- Corresponding author: Andrea Masotti, andrea.masotti{at}opbg.net.
In the May 2012 issue of Diabetes, Visinoni et al. (1) described the role of liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP-1) in regulating appetite and adiposity and in contributing to body weight regulation. In transgenic mice overexpressing FBP-1, they observed a lean body weight phenotype and ∼50% reduction of adiposity that was supported by a reduction of food intake. In keeping with this evidence, appetite-stimulating neuropeptide Y and Agouti-related peptide were found to be significantly suppressed. The authors observed an inversion of the lean body weight phenotype by pharmacologic inhibition of FBP-1, suggesting a crucial role for this enzyme in the presence of excess nutrients/fats. FBP-1 is an enzyme in …
