The restaurant, at 143 Landings Blvd. in Winter Haven, is part of the first phase of The Landings. It opens on Dec. 13.

20 March 2011
Day 4 of my T2 adventure. I covered Fair Oaks Ave. in South Pasadena. Charming town with most of the cuter shops on Mission Street. Look at the lovely Rialto theatre which is now defunct. I wish I could see the insides. I also discovered a new photographer, Shannon Leith when I peeked in Space gallery. Now, I'm kinda obsessed with Shannon's blog after looking her up. She's got gorgeous photos of her home and random bits of daily things and polaroids. Need I say more?! She's my weekend inspiration.
13 Comments so far

@ Hannah I'm normally super shy when it comes to taking photos of random people but the man was so consumed with his newspaper, lunch break he didn't even see me. It was perfect. Thanks for stopping! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!ReplyDelete

Ohh..that last photo! So beautiful!ReplyDelete
Thank you for posting this! I grew near in Southern California and was always in love with the Rialto. When I left LA in 2005 they were still hosting one of the most loyal Rocky Horror Picture Show evenings anywhere in country... so sad to know this gone now. At any rate, if you want to see the inside in all its glory, check out two movies: The Player and Scream 2. Scream 2, especially since the first 15 minutes take place inside the theater.ReplyDelete
I so love your pictures on this post! I grew up in So. Pas and still get there any time I'm in La. I went to the Rialto in high school for Sat. midnight Rocky Horror shows! So much fun but also so sad that it isn't operating anymore.ReplyDelete
I am sooo loving your photographic tours of places. Keep adding more! We only spent an afternoon in Pasadena a long time ago and this brought back really funny & great memories.ReplyDelete
@ John Aw, Rocky Horror shows at the Rialto sounds amazing. Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to watch Sream 2 again. I haven't seen it since it came out! And thanks for stopping by, see ya around!ReplyDelete
@ Erin Thanks! Wished I coulda seen its glory Rocky Horror days. Big sighs...
@ Chantale I'll definitely be adding more since I still have one more week of passing out flyers around town. Thanks C! I hope you get to come back soon!

@ Lindsey She sounds amazing, One day, I'll have to meet her at her shows or something! I've been enamored with her photos lately. She's super duper good!ReplyDelete
Found you by way of SF Girl By The Bay and m quite sad to see the Rialto looking so deserted. I moved from LA 12 years ago, so I'm not up on the state of such things, + will say that the last movie I saw there was "The Ice Storm," which was a number of years ago. So sad.ReplyDelete
@ Shona Sadness, indeed! Wished I coulda stepped foot inside that pretty theatre. And wow, I'm so impressed you still remember what movie you last saw there. I loved The Ice Storm. Thanks so much for stopping by.ReplyDelete

Interior Department to Review Proposal for First U.S. Floating Wind Turbine
August 15, 2012

The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) on August 9 announced it will begin reviewing a proposal to build what would be the nation's first floating wind farm. DOI's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is proceeding with an assessment of Statoil North America's Hywind Maine project. The proposed wind farm, located about 12 nautical miles off the coast in water about 500 feet deep, would have a 12-megawatt capacity from four wind turbines. The area Statoil North America has requested for a commercial wind lease covers approximately 22 square miles, though the company states that the final park is expected to be closer to 4 square miles after determining its environmental impact and wind resources.
BOEM is seeking public comment on environmental issues related to the proposed leasing, construction, and operation activities in the offshore area through a Notice of Intent to Prepare an environmental impact statement. Publication of a Request for Interest in the Federal Register will open a 60-day public comment period to solicit submissions of indications of competitive interest and additional information on potential environmental consequences and other uses of the proposed lease area. Accordingly, BOEM intends to prepare a statement that will consider the reasonably foreseeable environmental consequences associated with the Hywind Maine project. See the DOI press release, the Statoil proposal, the BOEM public comment Web page, and the Statoil Hywind Web page.

The game had been over for an hour, and the 25,000 people who had witnessed the end of the longest winning streak in high school football history had emptied out of what was then Qwest Field in Seattle.
But the magnitude of what had happened to the De La Salle High football team on Sept. 4, 2004, didn't settle on Zac McNally -- then a senior linebacker with the Spartans -- until he returned to the hotel and turned on ESPN.
"The first thing we see are the highlights of the game, and it's on the ticker that De La Salle's streak is over," McNally said. "That's when it sunk in."
A decade after the 39-20 loss that ended De La Salle's 12-year, 151-game winning streak, the specifics of the game and the emotions the De La Salle team felt that historic night have not been forgotten, if only because it was the most points a Bob Ladouceur-coached team had ever allowed.
Bellevue High, a Washington state power, had pushed the Spartans around, dominating the line of scrimmage when it had the ball and running its Wing-T offense to near-perfection. The Wolverines had 30 points by halftime and a 19-point lead by the start of the fourth quarter. The end of "The Streak" wasn't coming on a last-second stunner. It had been coming from almost the beginning of the game.
Bellevue had an extraordinary running back in J.R. Hasty, the son of two-time NFL Pro-Bowler James Hasty. With Hasty and quarterback Eric Block -- just 14 years old and making his first varsity start -- Bellevue amassed 463 yards of offense, all on the ground. The Wolverines did not attempt a pass and were never forced to punt.
Bellevue had moved the start of its fitness program from June to January and gone through eight months of often grueling preparations that attempted to duplicate De La Salle's offseason regimen. Weightlifting sessions were doubled in length from 90 minutes to three hours. Players had private workouts on off days, feeling that De La Salle's players were probably doing the same.
"It was intense. Pretty much right after the season ended in 2003 we started training for De La Salle in 2004," Block said. "Tons of film work, practice work, in the weight room, getting big. The linemen were doing sleds every day. Running stairs. The workload was like nothing I had done before."
The game was the fifth and last of an all-day football jamboree called the Emerald City Kickoff Classic. Media coverage was intense; the Seattle Times devoted four pages of its Sept. 4 sports section to the event. More than 70 credentials for print and electronic media were issued.
Anticipation for the game reached a fever pitch by kickoff, when most of the lower bowl at Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, was full. The belief was that this Bellevue team -- which had won three straight state championships -- was the school's best yet. And the Spartans, with only quarterback Kevin Lopina headed to a Division I school on scholarship, were thought to be vulnerable.
"We did have a brotherhood, and there were a lot of close friends. We had that going for us. But talent-wise, we just weren't as good as we had been in the past," said Lopina, who played college football at Kansas State and Washington State and is now an assistant coach at Oak Ridge High in El Dorado Hills. "I think everyone kind of knew that, but no one really said it. So it was scary going into that game."
De La Salle began with the ball and, as it had so many times during "The Streak," scored on the opening drive on a 45-yard touchdown run by senior running back Eduardo Lopez, one of several Spartans who were making their first start.
"Athletically, that was probably one of the most exciting moments in my life," said Lopez, who went on to play for Cal's rugby team.
The excitement was short-lived. Bellevue got the ball, and on its first play from scrimmage, with a little misdirection, Hasty went untouched for a 75-yard touchdown.
Lopina: "I remember looking at Ladouceur -- and I don't think he wanted me to hear this -- but he said 'Well, that's deflating.' "
Hasty scored three touchdowns in the first half, and Bellevue went into the locker room with a 30-20 lead. De La Salle had moved the ball well but was offering little resistance defensively.
"The main thing was dealing with the physicality at the point of attack. They were physically overmatching us," McNally said. "Our defensive ends were lined up incorrectly for I think half the game.
"It wasn't the reason we lost. It just added to it."
Bellevue made some halftime adjustments on defense, and De La Salle's offense sputtered. The Wolverines got another touchdown from Hasty, his fourth, and had a 39-20 lead at the end of the third quarter.
With the Spartans going nowhere as the fourth quarter wore on, reality hit home. The transcendent program was about to lose for the first time since December 1991.
"I was looking up at the scoreboard -- not giving up -- but just realizing that, 'Wow, time is ticking away,' " McNally said. "Time's ticking down, and that this is probably going to happen."
Block took a knee to end the game, and Bellevue's players rushed to the center of the field to celebrate. The Spartans shook the hands of their opponents and walked to the locker room.
Inside, emotions bubbled to the surface. Equipment was thrown on the floor. Some players were crying. Others sat in stone silence.
But the message from Ladouceur was clear: Don't let one game define your season.
"He basically said this team won't be judged by losing the streak or by this one game," Lopez said. "We were going to be judged off how we react to being defeated, how we live on with the rest of our season."
It took De La Salle a while to regain its footing. The Spartans lost their home opener 30-12 to Clovis West, then settled for a 7-7 tie against Palma-Salinas. Victory didn't come until the fourth game of the season, a 49-0 win over Archbishop Mitty-San Jose.
De La Salle was 2-3-2 after a 17-17 tie against Clayton Valley when the Spartans' 2004 season, depicted in the new movie, "When the Game Stands Tall," finally began to come together. Playing as a unit and with a confidence lacking at the start of the season, the Spartans reeled off six straight wins to finish 8-3-2. The streak was punctuated by a 41-0 victory over Amador Valley in the North Coast Section 4A title game.
"I personally believe that if we had played Bellevue in week eight or nine, it would have been a much different game," Lopina said. "Unfortunately, it was week one."

Members of the Massachusetts-based free software activist group Binary Freedom have started a campaign asking the state and local governments of the Commonwealth to make an exclusive switch to free software. The campaign, which is hosted on the governor's independent MyIssue Web site,
cites the following primary reason for making the switch:
Governments in Massachusetts are increasingly dependent on software to operate. Citizens access important services via the Internet, and critical public documents are now digitally archived. Buying new software isn't like buying new desks and chairs for the office anymore. The makers of software now exert substantial control over how government operates.
Most software currently used by Massachusetts governments is like a black box. It's proprietary, which means that the government and its citizens are not allowed to look inside the box to see how it works. Proprietary software also comes with a set of restrictions that prevent the software from being modified or copied without explicit permission.
We place the fate of our democracy in the hands of a few private entities when we accept these restrictions on the technology we depend on for everything from social services to voting information. Government needs to serve the public interest, and so has an obligation to remain independent of such control.
Due to the nature of the site, only Massachusetts residents have the ability to directly participate in the campaign. However, the group stresses that everyone is welcome to contribute to their cause by
* Becoming active and suggesting ideas for new issues under their broader Computing Freedom coalition by interacting with them on their Independent Free Software Activists mailing list.
* Taking action on other issues in the group's Action Center.
how can we make this into a formal blog?
Off topic
Hi Christian,
This wasn't in line with the idea behind the switching to free software forum. However, you may like to register your group on our newly created Free software activists forum.

A Former "Most Wanted" Building Gets a Reprieve
"Most Wanted" posters identifying bandits and desperadoes are familiar images to anyone who has ever seen a Western movie. If they still made those posters, and if they offered rewards for turning in energy-inefficient buildings, the Cedar Park City Hall would have been one of the meanest outlaws this side of West Texas. Because not too long ago, the city hall had achieved a different kind of notoriety; the State Energy Conservation Office labeled it as one of the most energy-inefficient buildings in Texas.
But thanks to some assistance from DOE's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program funded through the Recovery Act, a former "Most Wanted" building has changed its ways, reduced energy waste, and is now generating serious energy savings. The grant has gone toward a variety of improvements for city hall, including automatic light switches, window tinting, new heating and cooling units, and most importantly, a "cool roof" that reflects a significant amount of Lone Star State sunlight. See the Energy Blog post.

Soybean/maize Germplasm, Pathology, and Genetics Research
1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
To functionally characterize soybean response to pathogens, with focus on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Candidate defense-related genes will be identified from soybean response to the pathogen or products of the pathogen. Functional characterization will include repression and/or enhancement of expression of the candidate genes in soybean and/or Arabidopsis.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
The ARS scientist will identify candidate defense genes, whereas the collaborator's lab will assist with construct design for over and under expression of genes in host plants and will generate transgenic soybean material. The ARS scientist will assist in propagation of the soybean transgenics and will conduct disease assays on this material to determine effect on defense.

It is a slice of a quintessential childhood: You can hear the faint sound of the music. Then, the dash begins because the ice cream man is coming!
First, yell at your folks for some change and run -- no, sprint -- back outside to wait.
Yes, ice cream was the ultimate prize but in this case, the man handing out the goods was a special treat as well.
That was the scene for hundreds, maybe thousands, growing up in the 1970s and 80s in Antioch.
Every kid -- every kid -- adored Big Joe, aka Joe Lucido.
At 87, the lifelong Pittsburg resident passed away on Oct. 16.
Although he worked at the steel mill in Pittsburg for more than 30 years, he may most be associated with his 20-some years as an ice cream man.
Of course, the neighborhood kids were thrilled with a frozen treat but Big Joe also shared a good story, a kind comment and a grand smile -- all with a sense of love and patience.
And, for that little one standing on the sidelines with no money, Big Joe always managed to find a treat with a "broken" stick that he had to give away at no charge.
That, in a nutshell, was Lucido -- a giver.
And, that's what so many remember as they post memories of the beloved resident on Facebook and an online guest book.
"Big Joe took my Monopoly money in exchange for an ice cream of my choice. He was one of my best memories of being little," wrote Antioch's Penny Eastwood.
From Theresa Favaloro-Call: "I have fond memories of Big Joe. If kids didn't have any money, he was so kind and would give it to you 'til next time. I still can hear the ice cream truck music to this day. (He) was very much loved by all the kids in Antioch."
Nearly 100 postings from "kids" on Lynn Avenue to Jacobsen Street to Del Oro Circle and many more shared their love for Lucido.
Before he became Big Joe, Lucido was in the U.S. Army during World War II in the South Pacific, fighting battles in Saipan and Okinawa. An impressive solider, he was awarded the combat medal, the good conduct ribbon and the Purple Heart.
Lucido leaves behind daughter Paulette Severns and son Joseph V. Lucido; sisters Mary Lucido and Yolanda Tucker; and three grandchildren. He was preceded in death by wife Pauline Lucido, brother Arasimo Lucido and his parents. Visitation was held last month at Pittsburg Funeral Chapel with burial at Antioch's Holy Cross Cemetery.
Jody Ellen Jones | 1923-2012
Quiet and unassuming, Jody Jones was nonetheless at the center of countless causes, fundraisers and projects -- all in the name of community.
For her unyielding dedication to her city, Antioch nominated her twice for Citizen of the Year.
On Oct. 25, Jones lost her battle with cancer. She was 88; six days shy of her birthday.
Jones met Smoky, her husband of 60 years, in Boise, Idaho, while working for the phone company, before they moved to Antioch in 1956.
That's when Jim and Phyllis Boccio met the couple.
"She was a funny lady, and very helpful. She would help with (anything)," said Jim Boccio. "You could always count on her. She was a well-liked person, who gave of herself."
Phyllis Boccio enjoyed several trips with Smoky and Jody, recalling some good times on a train trip to Reno and visiting Fort Bragg aboard the Skunk train.
"We had a lot of fun with them," she said.
Jones, who enjoyed working with senior citizens, was rewarded in 1981 with an area transportation award. She helped run the bus office and raise funds for the first senior bus.
In 1983 and 2002, she was nominated for Citizen of the Year for her endless contributions to various groups, including the American Cancer Society, Meals on Wheels, the Delta Learning Center, the Riverview Garden Club and the Antioch Historical Society.
She was awarded Volunteer of the Year in 1998 for her 25 years of tireless efforts with the Contra Costa Food Bank. And, in 2004, she received a plaque in appreciation for 25 years of volunteerism with the Friends of the Animal Services.
"She (may have been) quiet but she got things done," Phyllis Boccio said.
She is survived by husband Smoky Joe Jones; daughter Marsha Habberstad (Gary); sister Betty Berg; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and a wide circle of friends. She is preceded in death by parents Edith and William Utley and brother Bill Utley.
A celebration was held late last month appropriately at the Antioch Historical Society Museum. The family encourages donations to the Antioch Friends of the Animals, the Historical Society and the Brun's Hospice House in Alamo.

After a small detour of 140 miles due to overshooting our exit a tad, we managed to wend our way to Townshend. We didn't get there until 3:00, terrified that we had already missed the first of what we knew were going to be three sets. But we were encouraged by the scene that greeted us.
A taste of things to come greeted all comers as we entered the parking lot; cars with Stealie hubcaps, tasty grilled consumables being grilled and consumed, T-shirts, T-shirts, T-shirts, and sack-hackers dotted the blazing, tangible sea of tie-dye and good cheer. Proceeding off through the woods, the human train of joyous aphishionados forded the mighty stream (mighty shallow, at any rate) that separated the parking area from the fields via a rickety, zig-zagging, wooden bridge that led, seemingly, right back into the woods. As one climbed the bank on the far side of the stream, up through the seaweed and the sli-i-ime, one emerged with astonishing suddenness into what truly had to be the center of the universe that day the Townshend Family Park. This is no ordinary park, mind you, but a lush green bowl of trees and sunshine and water and vast plains of greenly stretching lawn with a well-secluded miniature-golf course hidden right in behind where the stage was located.
I had heard tell of rain all weekend, and that's what I expected. It rained everywhere else in the world on Sunday. The universe was gray except for Townshend, VT, where the clouds parted and vanished altogether, leaving the undulating, sweaty, joyous crowd dancing, singing, and basking in the glorious heat of the day. All around on a plain of grassy wilderness were hundreds and hundreds of people doing all those things that people do when placed in a setting of ultimate perfection, just before the purpose for existing in that moment becomes fully clear.
And then it was all revealed to us. Over the next five hours, we were forcibly and wonderfully reminded exactly why it is that we follow Phish to the ends of the earth (or at least the ends of New England). They proceeded to play three of the most rip-snortin', kick-ass sets of music that I have ever heard anywhere. It was clear that the whole band was just as into the day and the weather and the scene as the crowd was, and everyone was grooving. The first set was played sans horns, as the guys started us off with a killer Reba. Again, without setlist in hand I can't recall much, except for learning the true meaning of the word "peaked" as Divided Sky took on whole new worlds of meaning for me. Trey had me taking pictures of the Famous Mockingbird as it swooped down to land on Icculus' shoulder on top of the mountain to our right, which had crumbled and exploded before us just moments before. The horns were hoppin' with their color-coordinated tuxes, personal trampolines, and shoe-dancing. The band was singing and swaying in the sunshine, Trey soaking up the heat and pouring it back out of his fingertips into the strings, Page riffing his way through massive solos in Suzie while basking in the shade, Fish did not one but two Henrietta appearances including the Doors' Touch Me. And even Mike was rocking out, in a relative, Mike kind of way. He was smiling a whole bunch. And to top it all off, they ended with a hip, hot, happenin' Big Black Furry Creature from Mars that had everyone flailing and slamming.
Whoof. That's all I can say. While writing this, I have vicariously relived it yet again, and I loved every microsecond. The general consensus among those interviewed was that it truly was the best concert in the history of mankind. The day, the weather, the location, the crowd, and most of all Phish, made Sunday, July 14, a day that will never be forgotten for Phish fans anywhere. It's shows like this that make it all worthwhile.

Customer Testimonials:
I purchased the Montreal theme recently and was thoroughly impressed with the design and how clean and well commented the code was. The only thing I have enjoyed more that the new theme has been the dedication and support that the Refaktor team puts into their products and customers. Their dedicated support forum is invaluable and the discussions between community members have been creatively mind expanding.
I've learned lots, and the communication between the team and their customers is the best online support experience I've had yet. Its been a pleasure. Thanks Refaktor! -rapturedesignco
I purchased the Montreal theme, and I've already posted my positive comments about the theme itself, but I wanted to comment on the service received from Refaktor. This is a unique company that seems to focus on the success of it's customers. After all, a theme is only as good as it looks on a site that runs that theme, right?
Being new to the Drupal platform, I read some of Refaktor's reviews which all commented on the great customer service. So my decision go with Refaktor was not only based on my love the theme, but also support if I needed it. (just look at some of the reviews of other authors where the communication was terrible!! That can stop your website in its tracks!). So here's what I experienced…...
Before the sale: I received prompt replies about installation and compatibility issues. After the sale: I'm pretty savvy, but still a newbie with Drupal. All questions prompted quick in depth answers that actually solved my problem. General themes communication is good and themes seem to be improved and updated often. Best of all, tech inquiries are answered professionally and in a way that didn't make me feel like a total moron! Sometimes, they even saved me by helping me with things they weren't responsible for (non-theme related questions)!! THAT'S what I meant when I stated they focus on a site's success with their theme!
Anyway, just wanted to give props to a great author who offers great service. -richfan
Great theme and great support! -markdaniel

Homemade Pizza Sauce (And Bagel Pizzas!)
Anyway, back to my original promise of not lying to you, my friends, my readers. This really is the best pizza sauce you'll ever taste. I'll admit it's rather time consuming, but the end result is a very bold and rich pizza sauce that makes its presence known. If you're a sauce lover, you'll love this, swears.
Homemade Pizza Sauce
Approximately 10 pounds of Roma tomatoes (or enough to make 8 cups of tomato puree)
2 TBSP olive oil, divided
2 TBSP dried oregano leaves
2 tsp basil
1 TBSP kosher salt, divided
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 TBSP Splenda (or sugar)
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1- 6 oz can of tomato paste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil.
Core tomatoes and cut in half. Remove seeds. Place tomatoes on baking sheets and sprinkle with one TBSP of the olive oil, 1 tsp of the kosher salt and the pepper.
Place baking sheets in oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until tomatoes have softened and are just starting to break down. Remove from oven and run tomatoes through sieve or food mill to remove skins and any leftover seeds you may have missed.
You should end up with close to 8 cups of tomato puree. To the puree, add the remaining olive oil, oregano, basil, remaining salt, onion powder, garlic powder, Splenda (or sugar,) and the crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees. Place a 9X13 glass baking dish in the oven and pour the puree into the dish. Do not try to do this the opposite way unless you want to spill tomato puree all over your new kitchen rug.
Set oven timer for 1 hour. Stir puree. Set oven time for another hour. Stir puree. (do you see where this becomes time consuming?) This step is important however because it is the reduction that gives the sauce its richness. You're going to continue this step until your puree has reduced to about 1/3 the original volume.
Remove pan from oven and stir in the tomato paste. Stir well to combine. This recipe will yield about 3 cups of pizza sauce. I usually freeze this in 1/2 cup portions because that's how much sauce I typically use on one pizza for hubby and myself. It will also be enough sauce to make 8 bagel pizzas.
To make the bagel pizzas, cut four bagels in half. ( I used my homemade bagels, but feel free to use any bagel you like.) Lightly toast the bagels in the toaster then place on a baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper.
Return oven heat to 400 degrees.
Top bagels with pizza sauce.
Then finish topping with your favorite pizza toppings. I used some sauteed peppers and onions, diced turkey pepperoni, olives and mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and browned.

Okay... I'm phoning in my order for pizza. It'll be here in 30 minutes or less.... right?
By the way, a little present for ya.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

Hi! I am so with you on the weight and the wine. At the dr's office last week and I think their scales need fixed, couldn't believe the # :(.
This looks great. You'd mentioned a roma tomato sauce recipe? I am looking for a good one. If you have one, can you email me?

My number on my license hasn't changed either! Lovely looking sauce!!! Excellent use of those tomatoes!

- Barbara @ Modern Comfort Food said...
Mags, you're brilliant! Tomatoes always taste better when roasted, and to take that idea a step further by also roasting the tomato sauce you make with roasted tomatoes is just, well, genius. This is my fallow time for garden tomatoes, but I'll definitely give your technique a go when I start harvesting again in Oct. Many thanks for sharing,

Your sauce looks perfect. I cant wait to get the oppertunity to try this. Thanks for a great recipe.

Ooooo sounds fabulous! I have a homemade sauce recipe too, but I love that yours uses fresh tomatoes!

It sounds time consuming, but amazing. Love the dark red color. Have you tried it without adding the tomato paste?

Ooh... That pizza sauce sounds wonderful! I'm all for time consuming (what does it say about me that I enjoy and sometimes prefer time consuming recipes? ... that's a rhetorical question!). Love it!

- Karen said...
That looks like such a thick, rich sauce. I've made my own sauce, so I know how much work it is. I've got a roma plant in the garden and I'm not so patiently waiting for the tomatoes to get ripe! Lie about your age and how much wine you drink? I don't know how anybody could do that ;) Oh, and if you make the sauteed radishes, you might just become a fan - they're good!

I would have been making baked pasta galore with this fabulous sauce you made. My son would have gone nuts over the bagel pizzas.
As always, great post. Love the photos.

This will sound stupid, but I always wondered how to make pizza sauce. It looks fabulous but not quite as good as those bagel pizzas. I think it's time to make bagels again, if just to have bagel pizza with your pizza sauce!
- August 18, 2010 at 9:15 PM
- Laurie said...
Looks amazing, Mags! We're HUGE homemade pizza people in our house so I'll definitely be making this recipe. Plus, like you, I have a tonne of tomatoes from my garden. I've been giving the excess away to friends and family. Perhaps I'll be keeping them from now on!
As for the lying about weight and wine consumption? I think of it more as creative and inventive truth. ;)
On a different note, I was awarded the Versatile Blogger award and one of the stipulations was to forward it to my favourite blogs. You are at the top of that list, Mags. I adore your blog, your recipes and your sense of humour. Keep it comin'!!

Thanks for this post.. I have on my list to start making my own sauce. Needed the kick in the head, and there are so many GREAT tomatoes out right now
Great post

I can imagine just how great the flavor becomes by roasting the tomatoes. Thanks for a recipe that will keep the "bears" happy this winter!!
Uh, I still weigh the same as when I was sixteen--and my hair is still the same color. Well, that's what my driver's license says and I'm sticking with it.

Love the roasted tomatoes in this sauce! I roasted tomatoes last week- why didn't I think of making sauce with them? I'm definitely going to get some more tomatoes and try this- we use a lot of pizza sauce. This is my first time visiting your blog- I love it!

I used this sauce tonight along with your whole wheat pizza crust. FANTASTIC!!!!!Will definitely use both of these recipes again and again. Thank you.

I am so excited to get a bite of these pizza bagels once I try making them tonight! For sure, my large family will ask for more. Being the only one-yeah, I said it- in the family who cooks, I sometimes get bugged by demands such as a new dish or new taste but I do love making my family smile. I can't wait to see their smiles tonight. Thank you for sharing.

NAPA -- Marcel Reece came into training camp with the usual enthusiasm and zeal for all things silver and black.
Yet for anyone who has observed the Raiders fullback over the past few years, something was missing, and it was evident at first glance. Reece has lost about 15 pounds, going from 250 pounds a year ago to around 235.
Reece had the play of the day Wednesday, leaping skyward to bring down a Matt Schaub pass despite tight coverage from Tyvon Branch.
"Whether it was the reason he was able to make that play or not, I don't know, but it certainly doesn't hurt," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. "I just think losing that weight is going to make him more explosive."
Why would a two-time Pro Bowl player change anything?
"I change my game in a lot of ways every year," Reece said after practice Monday. "This year it just happened to be physically noticeable. I didn't think it was a big deal until I got here and you guys started talking about it."
Reece was fast enough last season to burst for a career-long 63-yard touchdown run against the New York Jets. He leaked out of the backfield often enough for 32 receptions for 331 yards and rushed for 218 yards on 46 carries.
However, Reece's numbers were down overall from 2012, when he had 271 yards rushing and 52 receptions for 496 yards.
Thinking he could do more, Reece went to Allen, running backs coach Kelly Skipper and offensive coordinator Greg Olson, and all agreed Reece might be quicker at a lighter weight.
"Everyone focuses on the number, whether it's 255 or 238 or 240," Reece said. "To me, it's not about that. It's about feeling good, feeling leaner, feeling I can do anything on the field without limitations."
Schaub has wasted no time hooking up with Reece on swing passes as well as others like Wednesday's downfield strike. Schaub played with some solid backs in Houston, including Arian Foster, but was at a loss to compare Reece to anyone else.
"In my time there have been very, very few players like him at his position," Schaub said. "It's a unique skill set that he is able to play anywhere on the field, run all the routes, block the way he does and run the ball."
Reece feels concern over his blocking given the reduction in girth is misplaced.
"I think actually it will help my blocking," Reece said. "When you're younger, you think it's all brute strength and size and how big you are. To be honest, blocking is really technical. Of course there's a physical aspect to it, but my strength has gone nowhere. I feel stronger than ever.
"It wasn't about losing weight and slimming down -- a lot of people lose weight. It was about losing body fat, gaining lean muscle."
Allen liked that Carr quickly assessed the play and didn't hesitate.
"He was decisive," Allen said. "He put the ball away, took off and ran, and understood if he needed to he could get out of bounds, but if it was clean he could score the touchdown."
"It wasn't too serious. Just a minor one, a little headache," Streater said.
"He's a very physical player, and his strengths show up when you start to play real football," Allen said.

Singapore Passes Population Plan After Heated Debate
SINGAPORE—In 17 years' time, this tiny but bustling Southeast Asian city-state could see its population swell by nearly a third to 6.9 million people. But should it? And how would the island nation deal with it?
These pressing questions have stirred raucous debate in Singapore this week, as laymen and lawmakers voiced concerns with a new government platform that keeps immigration as a key tool for tackling the country's low birthrates and aging population. But they failed to sway the People's Action Party government, which adopted the plans on Friday after a decisive parliamentary vote.
The result was never in doubt, with the PAP holding 80 out of 87 seats in Parliament. But analysts say it could antagonize an electorate that has steadily deserted the ruling party in recent years amid rising socioeconomic tensions, adding pressure on the PAP to do more to assuage citizens' grievances.
"We are producing too few babies, our society is aging, and if we do nothing, our population will soon start shrinking," Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong told Parliament Friday before the vote. "We have to get our population policies right, so as to give ourselves the best chance of success."
Under the white paper endorsed Friday, the government will prepare infrastructure and social programs for a potential population size of between 6.5 million to 6.9 million by 2030, up from 5.3 million today, to ensure a workforce structure that supports "a dynamic economy that can steadily create good jobs and opportunities." The measures include taking in 15,000 to 25,000 new citizens and granting permanent residency to about 30,000 people yearly—both slower rates than before—and rationalizing current land-use plans.
But the proposals irked many citizens who are increasingly disillusioned with rapid immigration, which has boosted Singapore's population by nearly 32% since 2000, but also been blamed for soaring home prices, infrastructure failings, and a widening gap between rich and poor. They surfaced their complaints in letters to newspapers, online blog posts and petitions. Some even plan to stage a rare public protest.
Many worry about diluting Singaporean identity. Of the projected 2030 population of 6.5 million to 6.9 million people, citizens would number between 3.6 and 3.8 million, slightly more than half of the total. This would extend a marked decline over the last few decades—Singaporean citizens made up 91% of the population in 1980, but only 62% in 2012.
"If we travel down this roadmap, Singaporeans will become a minority in their own country," Low Thia Khiang, secretary-general of the opposition Workers' Party, told Parliament during the five-day debate. "A sustainable Singapore is one that keeps its national identity strong and this requires the population to be made up of majority Singaporeans."
Dissent even came from within PAP ranks, with several of its lawmakers expressing reservations about the white paper. One of them requested, successfully, that the white paper be endorsed with caveats that require the government to review population policy regularly and take steps to protect Singaporeans' welfare.
Government ministers rose in turn to defend the paper's projections and proposals in Parliament, while assuring Singaporeans that the 6.9 million figure wasn't a target, but a "worst-case scenario" for which infrastructure planning is made.
"We are not trying to pursue growth at costs," Mr. Lee told Parliament Friday. "We are trading off—reducing immigration, reducing foreign worker inflows, slowing the economy significantly, so as to deal with [socioeconomic] tensions."
The rambunctious nature of the population debate suggests a growing divide between the PAP and many citizens over Singapore's future that may not be bridged easily, said Devadas Krishnadas, a political risk consultant and former civil servant.
"On one side, the PAP sees an existential threat to national survival as defined by future economic performance," Mr. Devadas said. "On the other side, the [opposition], echoing the concerns of many Singaporeans, sees an existential threat to the idea of a Singaporean culture and identity through population dilution."
Voters had already chastened Singapore's ruling establishment in four elections in the last two years. The PAP was stunned at the May 2011 election, when its vote share fell to a historical low, before its favored candidate scraped a win in an unexpectedly heated presidential election in August that year. The ruling party then lost two by-elections, including one last month won by the Workers' Party with a dramatic vote swing.

Morning wreck sends woman to hospital
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 8:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 8:52 a.m.
A woman was transported to the hospital after a two-vehicle accident occurred Tuesday morning in front of North Henderson High School shortly before classes began.
Leslie Lafontaine of Hendersonville was attempting to turn left out of the school entrance onto Fruitland Road at about 7:45 a.m. when an SUV, driven by David Horton of Lake Lure, traveling southbound collided with Lafontaine's Chrysler sedan, said Trooper A.S. Hill, N.C. Highway Patrol.
It took crews, using the Jaws of Life, about 20 minutes to cut Lafontaine out the vehicle. She complained of back pain and was taken to the hospital after she was extracted from the car.
A 14-year-old child was in the Chrysler at the time of the accident and was not injured, Hill said. Horton was also not hurt in the wreck.
Hill charged Lafontaine with failing to yield.
Dana Fire and Rescue, Henderson County EMS, Rescue Squad, along with the Highway Patrol responded to the wreck.

- 2 pkgs of firm tofu, cut into 16 slices each
- 1/2 cup light soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp Sriracha
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp mined fresh ginger
Carrot-Daikon Pickle
Double the recipe if you like lots of pickle
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 tsp minced fresh ginger
- 11oz grated carrot (about 1 1/3 cup)
- 11oz grated daikon (about 1 1/3 cup)
- 1 whole star anise
- sliced cucumber (I use a vegetable peeler to get long, thin slices)
- Vegenaise
- chopped cilantro (optional)
Prep the Tofu
1. Whisk together the marinade ingredients. You can mash the garlic and ginger together with a mortar and pestle if you desire. Place sliced tofu in a large baking dish and pour marinade over. It is OK to stack pieces of tofu on top of one another--just make sure there is marinade between the slices. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Make the Pickle
1. Bring vinegar, water, and sugar to boil in a saucepan. Add ginger, carrot, and daikon, and bring back to boiling. Remove from heat and add the star anise. Pour into a large glass jar, and bring to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake the Tofu
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Adjust oven racks so you can bake two baking sheets at a time.
2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 16 pieces of tofu on each sheet. Brush generously with the marinade.
3. Bake for 10 mins, then flip tofu and brush generously with marinade. Switch the rack that the sheets are on, and bake for another 10-15 mins. Tofu should be dry and slightly crisp on the edges.
Assemble the Sandwiches and Serve
1. Cut baguettes horizontally. Spread Vegenaise liberally on the inside (not traditional, I know, but I like it). Top with tofu (I like to overlap the tofu 1/2 on the piece underneath instead of side by side). Top with sliced cucumber, and then with drained pickle. Top with chopped cilantro, if desired.
2. Slice each baguette into 8-10 pieces each and serve.

Bad Hair Epidemic: Rihanna's New Mullet Gets Killed On Twitter

Rihanna's New Mullet Gets Twitter Slander
Rihanna rocked a new 'do at Fashion Week in New York and it's business in the front and party in the back. Basically, it's a mullet. Why would she rock a mullet and think it's fly? Well, we're not quite sure…and neither is Twitter because they blasted her.

Re: "Your ballot is no secret to God," by Nancy Thorsen, letters, Oct. 27
Ms. Thorsen, the Dark Ages just called and they want their mandate back. No, wait, maybe it was the Crusades. In just two minutes of religious belching, in a roundabout way, Ms. Thorsen has done much to illuminate the concept of/and the need for the separation of church and state. She is no different than the Koch Brothers and their recent announcement to 65,000 employees implying that should they not vote the Republican ticket, their jobs could be in jeopardy.
She's proven what we all fear, that mixing religious zealotry, and world view politics is not unlike commingling church and state...the result is a bottoming out of the collective IQ quotient and the flight of "rational thinking and basic logic." Thomas Jefferson and John Locke are turning over in their graves.

More options for my money...
by RDH from Gilbert, AZ | June 4, 2011
Bought a Canyon 4WD Crew-Cab SLT model fully loaded with the Z71 off road package and the 5.3L V-8 engine in Red; it was a difficult truck to locate, at the time there were only 3 new ones for sale in the state with the V8 engine. I looked at and drove all the other mid-sized trucks in the Canyon's class, I was close to buying a new Tacoma, but felt the 4.0L V-6 didn't have tow ability and power of the 4.3L Vortec in the S-10 I was driving at the time (even though the Tacoma had more HP). I ended up getting the fully loaded new Canyon at a lower price then what I would have gotten the new Tacoma without leather, sun roof, power seats and a 5.3L V-8 engine. Three months after buying the Canyon, I loaded it up with 5 adults and bed packed high with bikes, clothing, coolers and everything else then drove my family to a California beach vacation…the V-8 Canyon moved my family and all our stuff along without even the slightest complaint and looked good doing so. This is something that the Tacoma wouldn't have been able to do without a struggle…period. My wife and I have cabin up in the mountains and we like to go up there and ski in the winters; the cabin is off an un-paved road in the woods and I have had to use snow chains (and a little bit prayer) with my pervious vehicles to get in and out of there. So I opted for the 4WD with the locking rear differential (SLT model). I've been up to the cabin more times in the past 2 years, than I had in the previous 4 years combined. Now, I have (just about) no fear in get stuck at any point of my trip with the Canyon's 4WD system. It works very well, and I have not experienced any issues with it. I wish GM had a manual transmission as an option with the Crew Cab V-8 model, but only the automatic is offered. I like the (leather) interior, but I find the basic fabric that is available in the Canyon's a little cheap compared to that in the Toyota's. Outside of that, I find the Canyon's interior comparable to the Tacoma's without the "gaudy" look that seems to be abundant in the Toyota. I like the seating in the Canyon much more then the Tacoma where if in the front seats, it feels as though you are sitting on floor; while the Canyon has more a "truck" height seating. As for the exterior of the Canyon, I like the basic lines of the truck more than the Tacoma (which to me look like those of a Dodge), but the basic 2WD Canyon can look pretty boring when compared to some of the 2WD models of the Tacoma. Compare the 4WD Canyon with Z71 off-road package to the 4WD Tacoma with the off-road package and the Canyon looks much bolder and different looking. If I were looking for something in between, I would surely consider or opt for the Tacoma; but if I wanted a truck that could do just about everything a full sized truck could do only in a smaller mid-sized package, the Canyon V-8 model is an easy choice. If you are looking for truck to go to and from work, occasionally haul a big TV or dirt bike in, has good power for around town and light off road driving, that has a sporty off-road look and you are willing to pay a little more…then the Tacoma is probably the truck for you.

Super looks and functionality
by Need A Reliable, yet stylish truck from Metro Detroit | December 8, 2010
The Canyon and Colorado or the best looking and best riding mid-size trucks on the market. The super smooth ride is such a surprise, and with a crew cab, there's more than enough interior space for even 5 large men. I've honestly never had a work truck with such great lines, and yet, it's super functional.

Front axle problem
by B85Mack from Virginia | November 2, 2010
This was my second Canyon. It was a crew cab, 4 wheel drive, and the V8 motor. The front axle broke without warning. My dealer couldn't explain it or the GM factory rep. I think the Canyon frame cannot hold the big V8. GM did help out with buying a 2010, which is performing fine.

I have a habit of whining about the lack of ethnic food here in northern Ontario, but things just got a little better. For those of you who live in the Bay, TW Foods on Main Street has a respectable Asian food section. They must have expanded it recently because I remember going in there last year and not being too impressed. I thought I would share my finds with you all. Let's go right to left.
Kasoori Methi
Also known as sun dried fenugreek leaves. I could smell their pungent odour right through the packaging and found the claim that they were "hygienic, flavourful, and tasty" to be rather hilarious. I sprinkled some over some dal to boost the dish's flavour. Amazing.
Vegetable Ghee
I thought this was worth a try, but basically it is corn oil. It didn't add much to the dish I made, but the can did assure me it was fine to use for religious observances.
Sweet Soy Bean Paste
Less sweet that hoisin sauce and with a more complex flavour than soy sauce. A great way to thicken a stir fry sauce while adding some flavour.
Tamarind Concentrate
This takes all the work out of soaking dried tamarind (which you can see in the very front, left). Throw some into a Thai dish for a nice tangy flavour.
AROY-D Curry Pastes
These are actually pretty good for pre-fab pastes. I bought red, green and yellow and am happy with all three. The bonus is that they do not have and fish sauce in them. Besides chiles, they are made with galangal, garlic, shallots, kaffir lime peel, and lemongrass.
Black Glutinous Rice
I have yet to use this, but I do have a recipe for Thai rice pudding that I think would be easy to veganize.
Annatto Seeds
These are used in Caribbean dishes, I believe. I remember seeing them in a recipe somehwere, so I bought them on a whim.

I have the same rice, which I use for sticky rice with mango dessert - it is honestly, dessert in a bowl! yum! Basic recipe is: To a can of full fat coconut milk you add some sugar and a bit of salt, let rest. you cook the rice with water, then baout 15 minutes before it is done, you add the coconut milk, let it finish cooking and absorb the coconut milk. Let it cool to warm. Serve topped with slices of ripe mango (ataulfo mango is best for this I htink, these are the small longish yellow/orange ones), and raspberries and mint leaves if you have them.
There is a good recipe for this in Get It Ripe by Jae Steele.

Hi there. Annato is also used in Mexican food. Another name for it is achiote, and it comes from a plant called the lipstick tree. You dissolve little pinches of it in oil over low heat, and then add rice or pasta with water and cook as usual. It gives a mildly nutty flavor and beautiful color to spanish rice or paella, and is used in Pibil sauce. It's used to give cheddar cheese that deep yellow color in industrial cheese making. See the vegan lunchbox blogspot, where she uses it to make vegan goldfish crackers gold.

Thai mango sticky rice is really good with black rice. I have read (and want to try) mango sticky rice with durian. However, I would imagine that this would not have nearly as wide of an appeal on top of being harder to acquire.

So far I've only used the annatto as coloring in homemade soap, but I know it's used a lot in Latin and Filipino cuisine.
I make an easy and delicious Malaysian Bubur Pulot Hitam (Sticky Black Rice Pudding) with coconut milk. They probably do something similar in Thai cuisine. I was excited when I found the rice in Chinatown here.
Nice finds!

It came in a big block, which I also got at my local "international market" (aka - awesome food store find). have fun!

That's great that you found all that stuff! I can imagine how frustrating it is not to have ethnic shops nearby. You can always buy stuff online too.
By the way "Aroy D" in Thai means "very good!"

Annatto seeds can also be used in Filipino cooking; as a former Spanish colony governed via Mexico, you'll find it used in a variety of savory dishes.
Annatto seed-infused water is used in kare-kare, a Filipino oxtail stew with peanut butter. You could probably make it quite easily by substituting pressed tofu for the meat and upping the veggies, which usually include eggplant, bok choy and green beans.

TW is one of North Bay's best kept secrets. I'm glad you're promoting it because we vegans need it to remain open! They do custom ordering too. I got them to get me holy thai basil chili sauce. Hoorah, TW!

Haha, almost all of the packaging I've seen for Indian spices claim that they are "hygienic, flavourful, and tasty", gets me every time.
I am not particularly fond of kasoori methi, but my mother makes kasoori methi parathas that are delicious!

Vegan Dad,
I posted my Black Sticky Rice Pudding recipe on my blog, if you want something specific to try. It's really easy and never fails to please.

I just found your blog via someone saying it was their fav on the VegCafe (VegNews) blog.
I saw you bought vegan ghee and it was corn oil...I've used corn oil in cooking (especially seasoned corn oil previously used in deep frying) but I've found coconut oil to be a better substitute. Unfiltered coconut oil, that is, of the sort I bought from the local Asian market. Have you tried it before as a sub for ghee?

Are you really from the Bay and went to Queen's? Such a coincidence! I grew up in T.Bay myself and took Engineering at Queen's. And I'm a vegetarian. Anyway, I love your blog. So many great ideas! Keep up the good work :-)
