We will continue to fight for busing for our kids. At the last board meeting, the board members discussed a possible 2.5 mile range in the future. Currently it is 3 miles. With mountain lion sightings recently, all Fontana kids going to Etiwanda schools need to be on the bus. We have traffic, wildlife and extreme wind and heat concerns. Show up for board meetings and speak out.

'Ultimate Life' finds inspiration in lessons twice learned
What do you do when you've learned what you really need to know? How about learning how your teacher learned the lessons he taught you?
That's the idea, anyway, behind "The Ultimate Life," the sequel-prequel to the 2006 faith-based melodrama "The Ultimate Gift" — both based on the inspirational novels by Jim Stovall. »Read Full Article
Jazz masters bring Newport Jazz Festival to Wilson Center
Sixty years ago this summer, jazz musicians and fans established an unlikely beachhead in Newport, R.I., to the annoyance of some uppity mansion-owners.
But the art and artists prevailed. And, over time, the Newport Jazz Festival has thrived, producing historic concerts and recordings. »Read Full Article(2)
In First Stage's 'Crash,' a football player learns how to hug
Recalling young actor Seth Horne from past First Stage shows, what stands out is a seemingly incorruptible innocence, inscribed in a sensitive, open face that reflects an unabashed enthusiasm for life. In a memorable show like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," for example, Horne's projection of Charlie's fundamental, rock-solid goodness stood in stark contrast to the bratty kids accompanying Charlie on tour.
But kids grow up, often losing their sense of magic along the way; many of them become bullies. In the First Stage production of "Crash," that's the rocky road being traveled by seventh-grader John "Crash" Coogan — convincingly played by Horne, in the Defense Cast of alternating young actors I saw Saturday night. »Read Full Article

Wedding in Coral Springs
If you are looking for a cozy place to eat go to this Italian PLace called "la Fontana" in Coral Springs fl By the walk. Its an authentic italian restaurant . My husband Andre married me 10 years ago, we had a baby girl but we got divorce for two years and he remarried me this year. I didnt want to spend a lot of money so we asked the owner if we could have our reception there. They have live piano music after 6 pm. I m originally from Rio de Janeiro Brazil ( i m used to go to our local brazilian restaurant Ipanema Girl) that place had the warm felling that we have in Brazil all the guests stand up and started dancing. Our daughter got in the fountain and started picking the coins until she felt in got all wet but she got the money to tip the singer.... was a really fun day.

Clermont-Ferrand - Portugal's Helena Costa will not be taking over as the new coach of French side Clermont, a decision described by the club president as "sudden and surprising".
The 36-year-old Costa made global headlines as the first woman to take charge of a men's professional team in a leading European nation after being named in May to coach Clermont, who play in France's second tier.
"Helena Costa has decided not to take up her commitments at Clermont Foot 63," Clermont president CLaude Michy said Monday.
"This decision is sudden and surprising. "I deeply regret this situation."
Clermont are a modest club from a city where rugby dominates, and they came 14th in Ligue 2 last season, while playing to average crowds of less than 4 000.
When announcing her appointment last month, Michy had been forced to dismiss suggestions that his move for Costa, who has a UEFA A coaching licence and a Masters degree in sports science, was a publicity stint and said that he had "chosen a coach first and foremost, not a woman".
Costa was previously a youth coach at Lisbon giants Benfica before winning a regional league title with Portuguese amateur club Cheleirense.
Since then Costa has had spells coaching the women's teams of both Qatar and Iran, and was also a scout for Scottish giants Celtic.

The hiring of a law firm is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you free written information about our qualifications and experience. Personal Injury Lawyers serving Daytona, Melbourne, Orlando, Florida and Nationwide.
Anesthesia overdose is a potentially deadly surgical error that is entirely preventable. An anesthesiologist is a medical professional dedicated solely to administering your anesthesia and monitoring you for the proper level of consciousness and signs of distress during surgery. If the anesthesiologist fails, then there could be serious side effects.
If you or a loved one has experienced anesthesia overdose, then contact one of our Florida surgical error lawyers for a free consultation at (855) 880-4741.
Causes of Anesthesia Overdose
The use of general anesthesia has become a routine practice, but it still carries considerable risk and must be performed by a highly skilled specialist. Patients under anesthesia must be very closely monitored at all times.
Errors that can lead to anesthesia overdose include:
- Dose too large
- Failure to monitor patient
- Misread chart
- Improperly labeled anesthesia
- Communication error
- Intoxicated operating room staff
- Equipment malfunction
- Adverse drug interactions
Anesthesia overdose can cause death on the operating table, but often the patient dies in the recovery room where monitoring becomes more lax.
Other Anesthesia Errors
Other anesthesia errors can be just as harmful as an overdose, including:
- Intubation mistakes
- Improper administration of oxygen
- Delayed anesthesia administration
- Too little anesthesia
- Failure to provide patient with proper instructions for eating and drinking prior to surgery
- Improper administration of epidural
Anesthesia Error Injuries
Anesthesia errors often involve lack of oxygen and distress during surgery. When a patient is properly monitored and the situation is quickly addressed, injury can usually be prevented.
Injuries resulting from overdose or misapplication of anesthesia include:
- Brain injury
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Central nervous system damage
- Asphyxia
- Nerve damage
- Spinal cord injury
- Paralysis
- Coma
- Death
- Birth defects
- Awareness and/or pain during surgery
Anesthesia awareness
Anesthesia awareness is being conscious and often in pain during surgery but paralyzed and unable to communicate. It is the result of too little anesthesia or delayed delivery.
Anesthesia awareness can have long-term psychological consequences including:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Panic and anxiety disorders
- Flashbacks
- Sleep disorders
- Extreme fear of doctors and medical settings
If you believe that you or a loved one has been injured by an anesthesia overdose in Orlando, please contact one of our Florida medical malpractice attorneys to discuss your case. Contact Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter online or by calling (855) 880-4741 for a free consultation.

Sennen Summerhouse - Cabin in Cornwall
Mayon Vean
- Cabin for 2 from £60 per night (read our low price promise)
- 1fold-out double
Not suitable for children
Pets welcome
Well-behaved pets welcome. Sorry children cannot be accommodated. Up to 2 extra guests may sometimes be allowed for £20 per person per night, please call 0117 204 7830 to discuss.
The Sennen Summerhouse doesn't need ostentation. The glass walls let in light and the dramatic Atlantic views that negate the need for interior design. Though the house is nearby, the facing wall is covered to give privacy and you can set the deckchairs up in your private piece of garden and bask uninterrupted, watching the sun set over the sea.
Inside the summerhouse you'll find the sofa bed, a big armchair, lamps, lanterns, gas hobs in the kitchen corner and... not much else. While there's no power, you can charge devices in the house, where you'll also find the shower and bath. There is a compost loo is in a lean-to attached to the hut.
The cabin was created entirely from recycled materials and is the perfect place to give yourself a new lease of life as you indulge in breezy coastal walks, beach day trips, maybe a little surfing and everything else that Cornwall has to offer.
Our guests say...
Really nice summerhouse at a beautiful location. Fortunatley we were blessed with good weather so we could enjoy the nice garden in the deck chairs. Naomi was so nice to give us some lovely homemade scones as a welcome treat which we enjoyed so much, we ordered some more for the next day :)04/07/2016
Beautiful host family have created a very laid-back vibe, & the back-to-basics feel is intoxicating. You can charge tech in the main house, but you won't want to. Summerhouse is surrounded by fields to 3 sides & down a no-through road, so you feel away from the bustle, but the surf, pub, restaurant, cafe & shop are all just a stroll away. Recommend Whitesands for great breakfasts & cliffs below Lands End for great birdwatching.03/06/2016
We had an amazing stay at the Summerhouse. Naomi and family (including the family dog) were lovely and very welcoming, even sharing a dish of crab with us on our final night. The Summerhouse is very comfortable...we felt truly relaxed when we left. Sennen Cove is a great place, we surfed, walked along the coast and ate and drank very well. We hope to return again some day.28/05/2016
Loved it! It's a beautiful spot, the Summerhouse is both adorable and practical (has everything you need), and Naomi & family were really welcoming and helpful.06/05/2016
Sennen cove is beautiful and the summerhouse was just above the bay, great location. Our hosts greeted us with scones and jam, lovely touch making us feel very welcome. Freedom to come back and forth, great walk to Lands End, perfect location for exploring this part of the country. We had everything we needed for a short stay and if the weather had been warmer, we had a little garden area... Perfect27/04/2016
We stayed for three nights at the end of September. The weather was fantastic and we enjoyed some surfing.27/09/2015
We had a lovely time. Naomi and her family are lovely. The weather was amazing and I think the area is quite possibly the most beautiful place in England. It really was wonderful.25/09/2015
Naomi is the most friendly, helpful and generous host. She not only collected us and returned us safely to Penzance but provided us with freshly baked scones and clotted cream. Our stay in Sennon Cove couldn't have been more perfect We glamped in style in the gorgeous summerhouse, took leisurely walks on the cleanest beech with crystal blue water, enjoyed the open top bus to St Just and St Ives , coastal walls to Lands End and the Cape of Cornwall. Ben Tunnicliffe's restaurant on the beach became our regularly eatery - amazing food at a very good price. Staying for just 3 days we couldn't have asked for more. Perfect!!!!29/08/2015
I booked this as a surprise for my daughters 18th birthday present. The booking was easy and my daughter was delighted with her gift. The place was brilliantly located and the owners even picked them up from the station, they only charged a small fee for the petrol costs. I would highly recommend this accommodation. But the outstanding thing for me was the hand written birthday card and small welcome gift the Canopy and Stars team had sent for my daughter on her arrival. It was a really lovely thing to do :) thank you, for making a special birthday trip, super special!10/08/2015
Naomi and the family were lovely. It's a small summer house right next to their house in their garden. Not as private as we were hoping for. Amazing views and surroundings08/08/2015
We stayed in Sennen Summerhouse for a week, we had a fantastic stay and loved every minute. We had a great time surfing, walking and eating cream teas! We would 100% recommend Sennen Summerhouse, Naomi and her family were friendly, welcoming and wonderful hosts. We hope to stay there again soon!02/08/2015
We stayed in the Sennen Summerhouse in Cornwall for two days and it was absolutely delightful. We were warlmy welcommed with the most delicious scones with jam and cream, and plenty of supplies to cover us for our stay. The host and her family were lovely and welcomming and we would gladly come back again and recommend it to others.05/07/2015
loved the peaceful location with the sea so close and dramatic near Lands End. Excellent for watching sunsets with a glass of red wine. Loved the accommodation which while simple, was imaginatively thought through. Naomi, our hostess, was really welcoming and hospitable, with her delicious light scones, and information about basking sharks and dolphins passing by.15/06/2015
We had a lovely stay for at the summerhouse complete with delicious cream tea (with HUGE scones) provided for us by Naomi. So yummy and very welcome, thankyou!24/04/2015
We had a wonderful time in this cute and cosy summer house. A beautiful setting, a warm welcome and a pub within walking distance made this the perfect weekend retreat.14/03/2015
"Amazing value. Beautiful. Will tell my friends for sure. Top class"11/10/2014
"It was lovely, nice cosy decor, perfect location and lovely hosts. Had everything we needed for a little break and nice to be cut off from regular mod cons."26/06/2014
"Really enjoyed the stay. Naomi was very friendly and welcoming. Very relaxed environment."02/06/2014
"Naomi and her family made us feel very welcome. On arrival we were shown round the little summerhouse and greeted with scones, cream and jam!...very nice touch. The summerhouse is located at the back of the main house and is very private and just enough space for 2 adults and a little dog. For shower and electric you can use the house between set times but Naomi is flexible if you need to use outside of times. The location is perfect; 5 minutes from shop and pub and 10 minutes from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day soon! :-)"18/04/2014

Posted on 03/10/2014 10:12:54 AM PDT by Biggirl
click here to read article
I have Coast to Coast on when I'm asleep almost every night.
I don't know who John B Wells is.
I did a search, and I see that he was evidently fired from Coast to Coast, but I have no idea who he is.
Who in the world is John B Wells?
Just following up, did he host an earlier in the evening show?
I'm puzzled.
I see a page on him, from the Coast to Coast website. But I don't remember hearing him host the show.
He was their weekend guy for the last two years until last month.
He's also been in films and has a great voice. Here's his bio. On imdb.
Maybe I was getting confused.
Is he the guy who's always on, on the weekends?
I looked at the picture in google and it didn't look at all like who I thought was on.
Is he the usual Saturday evening guy? If so I have been confused about this appearance, maybe that's the deal.
Malaysia and or Vietnamese radar not sophisticated enough to record digital data and replay flight path of track and where it intersects below radar coverage to show where FLT370 really went before going below radar?
If one of the Pilots dove Boeing 777 into sea pingers from recorders would give location, but are not pinging?
Someone would still have to pull all the circuit breakers to kill power to the transponder, radios, datalink, telemetry with airline, and know how to pick the correct breakers out of hundreds? Who else but a trained pilot or specialist could accomplish that?
If you stole a Boeing 777 why and where would you land it and what would you do with the passengers? North Korea taking Chinese hostages? Iran taking Chinese hostages? Chinese taking Chinese hostages? Who else was on that flight? SPECTRE or SMERSH or Quantum or Universal Exports or ACME or MMM Enterprises or KGB or CIA or MI6
If it exploded, you know one of the satellites watching the south western pacific would have seen the flash and the heat signature.
I wish they would just say, yup...it blew up. Russia knows. China knows. And I am sure Australia knows.
The NSA knows when I relax my bowels. A plane blows up and no one knows?
Not buying it.
Was Wells starting his own gig? Or otherwise competing?
That will get you fired anywhere. Not just radio.
Who is the guy who's from Vegas?
That is the guy I always hear on the weekends, it seems. I don't think that's John B Wells, right?
Maybe I just don't listen enough on the weekends.
When that Air France Airbus went down in the Atlantic Ocean a few years ago, didn't it take close to a week before wreckage was found?
Yet now, the disappearance of a comparable-sized jet is an "unprecedented mystery" a mere two days after it was lost. So far, it isn't unprecedented, and it's only a mystery insofar as after a modest period of time, the plane's fate remains unknown.
Oh I'm thinking of George Knapp.
Though now I am seeing John B Wells, and I'm seeing him on the live Coasttocoastam.com site, so maybe they worked things out?
I see he's sort of a regular though. Either he's on, or they're slow to update the website...
Has anyone blamed the "Zionist New World Order" yet?
Oh sorry.
Post 111 is for you.
That is Art Bell. He's from Parumph Nevada
He went off the air years ago and Noory took over for him. Those are repeats of his old shows from the 90s and 00s. I think he's living in the Philipinnes but maybe someone here is more up to date than me.
If the Chinese thought for a moment this was about to be their 9/11 with a jet crashing in say Beijing they would task a sub or other asset and shoot it down. And deny everything.
Oh sorry didn't see your comment bout George Knapp.
Has global warming been considered? Oops, I mean climate change?
North Korea rocket path
Thanks, hoosiermama.
777 is simply not that far off from 666 . . . . kinda gets you thinking . . . or what passes for thinking.
I don't believe the Moslem thing. Too few things fit. It's just not their MO.
I wouldn't be shocked, but I would be surprised to find it was Moslem terrorism.
I think it's purely some accident.
OTOH, is this anywhere near the Bermuda Triangle of Asia?
Actually perhaps it's possible it landed in any jungle regions there might be. If the range was possible by all evidence.
Other accidents have happened in remote forested areas and no one was really aware or could find them right away, except that the plane disappeared off radar.
"Brazilian authorities were able to locate the first major wreckage within five days of the accident"
Yes, I had my doubts about this being impossible not to find anything. Of course, I'm quite sure being in a mere sea close to land is not the same as open ocean, but I don't think it's unusual they're having a hard time finding it in the water. Or even if it crashed into a jungle.
What happens with the luggage at the airport when passengers decide at the last minute that they are
not going? I would image it would be a crazy time
and people aren't paying attention to what other
workers are doing. Maybe someone slipped in there
and stayed for the ride...
Transponders can be shut off by pilots (happened with 9/11 planes)and enroute radar can only go 200 miles so when a plane is over water, it will not be tracked by ground based enroute RADAR, the track that is on sites like flightaware is a projection of it's last postion and it's flight plan.
Only AWACS could track planes over water or a RADAR on a ship could but I doubt either were in service at the time.
If this flight was outside the 200 mile limit or went below the RADAR then it could very well be diverted somewhere else.
Nope. Even a little bit of sea is a big place. I'd say give 'em a few more days before we call this one an unsolved mystery.
With proximity to land, it is more likely to wash up near land where locals can even spot it. Out in open true ocean, nada.
I'm still wondering about jungle, if there is that type of wild land anywhere near.
Airport 77
Its underwater and they are running out of air....

Humidity is a term for the amount of water vapor in the air, and can refer to any one of several measurements of humidity. Formally, humid air is not "moist air" but a mixture of water vapor and other constituents of air, and humidity is defined in terms of the water content of this mixture, called the Absolute humidity. In everyday usage, it commonly refers to relative humidity, expressed as a percent in weather forecasts and on household humidistats; it is so called because it measures the current absolute humidity relative to the maximum. Specific humidity is a ratio of the water vapor content of the mixture to the total air content (on a mass basis). The water vapor content of the mixture can be measured either as mass per volume or as a partial pressure, depending on the usage.
In meteorology, humidity indicates the likelihood of precipitation, dew, or fog. High relative humidity reduces the effectiveness of sweating in cooling the body by reducing the rate of evaporation of moisture from the skin. This effect is calculated in a heat index table, used during summer weather.

The New Orleans Saints are sitting pretty after destroying the previously undefeated Miami Dolphins 38-17. After running their record to 4-0, the Saints have officially served notice to the rest of the league of their re-emergence.
The precision with which the offense executed may have only been topped by the tenacity of the defense. This was truly the most balanced win of the season for the Black and Gold.
The Saints have a ton of positives to hang their hats on. Conversely, there are areas where they should hang their heads as well.
Let's see who stood out in victory. Here are the complete roster grades from Week 4.
Note: Players are graded on the standard scale. Higher grades are given for splash plays and proper technique. Conversely, lower grades are given for turnovers and improper technique.

Crataegus - hawthorn.
Picking the berries is a picnic, sometimes. Processing them isn't.
Friday afternoon:
These trees have been beckoning to me for quite some time now.
They did it already a month ago, when they still had bright yellow fall foliage, but now they've dropped all their leaves and those orange-red berries are a splash of color in an otherwise brown landscape.
The trees are young, I'd guess less than 20 years old. So they're still low enough for me to pick most (but not all) of the berries. There's about 10 trees, and three of them were still bearing lots of berries. I have no idea what species they are; in that group there's perhaps 2-3 different Crataeguses.
Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) of course has thorns (the name sort of gives that fact away), but while they made themselves felt in my sweater they didn't puncture my skin anywhere, or even give an ouch. Reaching up into branches higher up I was a tad apprehensive about those thorns that close to my eyes - they could be dangerous - but it was no trouble.
Fun, picking overripe frostbitten berries: if you pluck a cluster with too much vigor the branch will bounce back and spray red berries everywhere. I put my basket underneath where I was picking, and did catch a lot of falldowns that way, that I shook loose while picking berries next to them, but of course the basket didn't catch the wider red-berry sprays. Berries that dropped underneath the trees but didn't hit the basket were easy to spot in the grass'n'wet dark brown foliage.
The berries were wet, too, of course -- we've had one of the rainiest summers ever, and autumn has continued on the same theme.
Pic: Hawthorns in a basket, pretty pretty.
So I got a basketful of nice bright orange berries. My oh my, the color! - such a nice contrast to green grass and dark brown leaves.
I'm splitting the berries now, with a sharp knife (dull won't cut it). A third or so are done; the old rule is that it takes three times as long to process as it takes to pick, but picking only was half an hour, and I think I've been splitting for longer than that already. (The old rule also says that you have to process your herbs the same day, as they won't get any better if you leave them; think of them as fish, or mushrooms.)
Why do I split the berries, you ask? 'cos I want to dry them properly. I'm going away over the weekend, and won't leave the dehydrator running while I'm not here, but I can get them started overnight, and dump the lot onto old bedsheets on newspapers tomorrow; then continue dehydrator-drying once I'm back, probably Sunday, but if it's raining out in the countryside then tomorrow evening.
I'd split them for a fresh herb tincture, too, the better to get the goodness out; but these will become dried herb.
There's next to no extra protein in the berries. No larvae at all, just a few of the small flying things, less than an "i" long and wide, in among the large seeds in the berries, here and there. There's not many of those either, and I expect they'll remove themselves once I put heat under the dehydrator trays.
Friday evening:
Pic: Freshly split hawthorns.
They're all cut up now. I got two small almost-blisters on thumb and finger, from having to press the knife down into the berries so hard. This because the berries each have 3-4 enormous and very hard seeds, and they're clustered together. It's press down and hope you find a chink between seeds, or press down and hope a seed gives sideways, which also splits the berry. All this while also holding the berry with the other hand... no red juice from my fingers this time, though.
They're in the dehydrator, 5 trays full, on 45 deg.C.
The smell is strange, a mix between unripe apples and overripe whatevers. My friend said, when I told the dehydrator to stop the funny smell, that it just smells of berries. Okaaay...
Saturday morning:
Some were still soft and bright red (the ones that weren't split apart properly), but most were crumpled dark-red, with a light brown cut side. They're on a sheet on newspapers now. They've stopped smelling.
Sunday evening:
They're back in the dehydrator. They were almost dry but not yet, so they get another night on heat (40 deg.C). I'll probably dry them for longer than that, 3-4 days, to be on the safe side; moist berries in tight glass jars will grow moldy in next to no time.
Lovely lovely Crataegus. I wonder who'll need those berries this winter? Because, as eny fule kno, plants that beckon that much do it for a reason...
It's a herb for courage, and a mood lifter, and a circulation/heart strengthener. Very nice herb, is Crataegus.
Update: Pic of dried berries.

Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
I love baking for parties. Primarily this is because I like getting feedback from big groups of people, friends and family on any baked goods that I make because I often like to try out new recipes on these occasions. It's also fun to bake large quantities of food, or to decorate extra-large cakes from time to time. The only challenge – aside from deciding ... Read More »
Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting
Logically, we can say that no one type of cupcake is better than any other, and everyone is entitled to their personal preferences. But secretly, we all feel that there is one type of cupcake that is just a bit better than all the alternatives, one flavor pairing of cake and frosting (assuming that they're both good quality, of course) that is just plain better ...

Chocolate Orange Cupcakes
It's been a while since I baked a batch of cupcakes, but I started to get the itch for some of the miniature cakes this weekend and pulled out my trusty cupcake pan. Some freshly picked oranges – plucked from the tree before the orange-loving squirrels could get to them – were my inspiration to make some orange and chocolate cupcakes. I used a simple ...

Real Vanilla Bean Buttercream
When it comes to topping off a cake or some cupcakes, there is frosting and then there is frosting. Buttercream is the classic cake topper. There are two ways to make it: a shortcut uncooked way and a slower cooked way. I usually opt for the quick-fix way to make it, creaming together butter and confectioners sugar with a bit of flavoring. That method is ... Read More »
Chocolate Agave Layer Cake
Honey can be a great ingredient to bake with because it really adds a lot of moisture to things. It also helps to keep baked goods moist over time, so a cake or bread that has honey in it will often taste fresher than one without after it has been stored for a couple of days. Agave syrup, or agave nectar, has this moisturizing property, ... Read More »
White Chocolate Cupcakes with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate, chocolate chip… is white chocolate the least commonly used chocolate in baking? Sometimes it seems that way, and while the sweeter chocolate isn't everyone's go-to chocolate, it does have a lot to offer in some dishes. As evidence, I offer up these white chocolate cupcakes. They have a delicious white chocolate flavor – milky and sweet, with vanilla highlights - ... Read More »
Eggnog Cupcakes
'Tis the season for eggnog, that nutmeg-spiced, custardy, boozy beverage that is so popular around the holidays. It tastes delicious and is oh-so-rich. The richness, unfortunately, keeps me and most of my friends from drinking more than a very small serving at a time. To further enjoy that eggnog flavor, I decided to turn the drink into a batch of holiday cupcakes. My first impulse was ... Read More »

The Best Way to Eat Vegetables for DessertKelsey Banfield
Yes, I agree, chocolate and zucchini are definitely an unlikely combination of flavors. But, trust me, it works. The earthy zucchini balances out the rich chocolate in this cake, giving it a mellower taste and denser texture. Instead of being cavity-inducing sweet, it is has softer taste that pairs well with vanilla ice-cream or a tart sorbet. I can't claim that this is so healthy it is the nutritional equivalent of a vegetable course. I mean, after all, it is a cake. But is a fun way to incorporate, perhaps the most abundant summer vegetable imaginable, into a delicious dessert.
Chocolate & Zucchini Bundt Cake
adapted from Edible Vineyard
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 T. instant espresso, dissolved in 1 T. hot water
2 t. vanilla
2 c. grated zucchini
1/2 c. sour cream
3/4 c. cocoa powder
2 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Confectioners' sugar for dusting
1. Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2. In a bowl mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In stand mixer, or a mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix to combine. Add espresso, vanilla, sour cream and zucchini and mix on low until completely combined.
4. Working carefully with mixer on low, add dry ingredients until everything is completely combined.
5. Toss chocolate chips with a teaspoon of sugar and stir into the batter with a wooden spoon.
6. Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
7. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then invert it onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Once cake is room temperature dust it with confectioner sugar and serve.
