turned to take in the Asian wonder that was Wow Bao. The quick-serve menu was full of healthy, steamed dumplings, stir-fries, multi-grain rice, and more. I was unfortunately full from a large lunch and was planning on a fantastic dinner, so I regretfully decided to pass on a Wow Bao sample. At least that was the plan until I spotted their poster advertising homemade Ginger Ale.
I Ate:
- Ginger Ale : sooo sweet ($4)

Wow Bao is a very unique place. They serve little doughy pasteries, filled with all kinds of meats and vegetables. They have many flavors (chicken teriyaki, kung pao chicken, spicy mongolian beef etc.) and all of them are delicious! They even have a vegetarian bao. The price of one bao is $1.35 I believe, and they are surpisingly filling. They are about the size of your fist, and I can usually eat two. If you are looking for a very cheap, filling meal, try out Wow Bao's.

I had the BBQ Pork and teriyaki chicken bao. The buns are nice and warm and doughy. The filling for the pork was pretty tasty. It was shredded with a good spicy/sweet bbq. The teriyaki chicken I did not like as much. I have not had many bao to compare this to, but it was fast and inexpensive.
I Ate:
- Teriyaki Bao : okay ($8)
Chelsey R.
The bao here were very doughy, which I didn't mind. But the filler quality? Yuck! I've eaten better meat on a Big Mac. On the other hand, it is quick, cheap, and in the Loop.
I Ate:
- Teriyaki Bao : Good bun, bad filler. ($2)
- Bacon, Egg, and Chedder Bao : Pretty decent all around. ($2)

Gooey and sweet apple pie filling topped with glazed cinnamon rolls for a fun twist on traditional cobbler!
It is almost time. As much as I feel ready for fall, I don't feel ready to post pumpkin recipes yet. I don't know why. I've been shopping online for fall booties for about a month, and I finally found a few light jackets that will get a lot of use, and I've burned through three pumpkin/fall candles already, but I just can't seem to pull the trigger on posting pumpkin recipes. Maybe when September arrives? I actually have 4 or 5 of them all set and ready to go – baking and eating pumpkin things has been no problem for me! We're almost there though.
In the meantime, we'll turn to another fall favorite… one that I totally neglected last year: apples. I have a BUNCH of great apple things coming up, and I'm anxious to share them. My planning (or lack thereof) last year was very lopsided. It was all things pumpkin, all the time. Though, nobody complained. 🙂 I think I had one recipe featuring apples through the entirety of the season. This year, I've stepped up my apple game, and my recipe planning was a little more balanced!
That said, I still never plan perfectly well. I always overshoot. Mango Kiwi Pound Cake sandwich anyone? No? Maybe next summer. I'll just stash it away to share in 10 months when June arrives again.
I am kicking off fall baking with one of my favorites first: this Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cobbler. I am so proud of this one. It's killer.
It's apple pie filling topped with cinnamon rolls… sooooooo, you know, Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cobbler. Forget batter or biscuits as your topping. Snooze fest. Cinnamon Rolls bring traditional cobbler back to life. You can make them from scratch if you'd like. My favorite cinnamon rolls are super simple and quick because they don't require yeast. You can find that recipe here and here.
However, we are making the apple pie filling from scratch, so if you want to cut corners, just get the canned cinnamon rolls. You and I both know they are fabulous. No judgment zone here for taking shortcuts. I've confessed my love for canned cinnamon rolls in the past, and nothing about that has changed!
As it is, topping cobbler with glazed cinnamon rolls is just about the best idea ever (obviously, it wasn't mine originally). But the apple pie filling is the star of the show. I based the filling off of my mother's legendary apple pie recipe. A pie recipe that I haven't shared yet here, and maybe I never will. It might be TOO good. I might have to continue safeguarding that one. Her apple pie is the best there ever was. If you tried it, you couldn't deny that to be true.
It's not like most apple pie fillings where you just toss sliced apples with cinnamon and sugar. No. We cook a thick and gooey cinnamon-sugar syrup – an amazing sweet, cinnamon-y, and thick syrup! – that we toss the apples together with. It's a quick and easy syrup (I promise), and something that you end up wanting to eat all on its own. But don't, we need it for the cobbler.
With the *best* apple pie filling out there, and glazed cinnamon rolls on top, this is an unforgettable cobbler that you must try!
- 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, sliced
- ½ c. packed brown sugar
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 c. sugar
- ¾ c. water
- ¼ c. flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 12 unbaked cinnamon rolls with glaze (2 cans of 8, you'll have 4 leftover unless you cram!)
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, brown sugar, and butter.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until apples begin to soften and to lightly brown. We are partially cooking and caramelizing them.
- Reduce heat to low, and add the sugar, water, flour, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar.
- Stirring frequently, cook until the mixture is thick, bubbly, and syrupy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the apple mixture into a lightly greased 8x11 glass baking dish.
- Arrange the unbaked cinnamon rolls over the apple filling. No need to leave much space between them.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown on top, and the apple filling is bubbly.
- Drizzle the cinnamon roll glaze over the top.
- Serve immediately, and devour!

Knee Deep Into The Holidays
November 18, 2013 - Jane Whitmore
It doesn't seem possible that we are knee deep into the holiday season. A little bit of snow really brings the season into reality. We've had stories about the upcoming Christmas Light Parade and the Christmas Leprechauns planning to go out to spread good cheer. Our staff is working on the Holiday Gift Guide, one of my favorite projects of the year. The Gift Guide gives us the opportunity to visit a lot of Emmetsburg area businesses. It's a business visit that also turns into a shopping visit. We learn what our local businesses have to offer, not just for the holidays but all year long. What can be more fun than shopping? Home for the Holidays doesn't happen overnight. Emmetsburg Retail Association members are planning for this November event with sweat on their brows in the summer. Last year the Christmas Light Parade was a highlight of the season. A bunch of folks took the time to create really fun floats. I remember Snoopy on one of the floats, and Ralphie on another. Who could forget the lighted tractor going down the parade route? The crowd was wonderful as they viewed this fun parade. We are hoping for more great floats and lots of people again this year as we kick off the Christmas season. Breakfast With Santa is our special project. We team up with Amy and Nick at Pizza Ranch to put this project together. The Fire Department brings Santa to the front door and the kids squeal with delight. Children of predictable ages are shy of the jolly man with the big white beard. Others cozy up and tell Santa just about everything. Kids say the darndest things! Last year the McNally/Huberty cousins made the morning memorable. The group of kids played with the toys Santa gave them and laughed and talked most of the morning. We look forward to another great crowd again this year on Saturday morning after Thanksgiving. There will be coffee for mom and dad and grandparents while the little ones color Christmas pictures. Gosh -- this all begins with Thanksgiving. And that's only two weeks away! We have a rule at our house: No personal shopping after Thanksgiving. That means, only necessities. If you buy what you want, what's left to give you as a Christmas gift? Good rule? Two last thoughts: Have you started writing your letter to Santa? Has anybody started Christmas baking yet? It's time to wade right in to holiday mode.

That old sports cliche was proven once more on Saturday afternoon as the Barnesville Shamrocks posted a come-from-behind 6-5 triumph over Toronto in the OVAC Class 2-A baseball quarterfinals at Barnesville City Park. Toronto outhit the Rocks 9-6 and swiped 10 bases but committed four errors, three of which led to Barnesville scores.In the Red Knights first at-bat, Jeremy Sherwoods single knocked in teammate Zak Thomas with the games first run.Barnesville evened things with a run of its own when Bryce Allen engineered a lead off walk and eventually scored on a Brad Hannahs RBI single.The Rocks broke out for a three-spot in the second, doing all the damage after two were out. Tony Yarnall, Colin Hudson and Allen all scored thanks to a Toronto throwing error and a two run single by Chris Wells.Torontos Thomas delivered another Red Knight run in the third to bring his team within 4-2 of the Shamrocks.After a scoreless fourth, in which Barnesville loaded the sacks with no outs but didnt score, Toronto surged into the lead in the fifth with a three run rally.Zac Harless, Thomas and Shepherd all had RBI hits in the frame. Harless and Thomas also swiped two bases each in the uprising.Staked to the 5-4 lead, Toronto pitcher Jake Booth shut down the Rocks in the fifth, but wasnt so fortunate in the sixth.Yarnall started the Barnesville rally by reaching via the third Red Knight error of the game. Hudson followed with a soft single to center. Allen then put down a perfect bunt single along the third base line to load the bases.A Shamrock pinch runner was picked off third in a rundown for the first out, although Hudson and Allen were able to advance to second and third on the play. Wells followed with a tapper just to the pitchers right. Torontos Booth fielded the ball cleanly and threw to first in time to nip Wells for the second out, but Hudson broke for home on the play and scored when the Red Knights first baseman threw home wildly. The error, Torontos fourth of the game, also allowed Allen to come all the way around from second for the game-winning run.With his team now in a 6-5 lead, Barnesville reliever Brock Huntsman retired the final three Toronto hitters in order to work a perfect seventh inning. Coming on the heels of his scoreless fifth, it earned Huntsman the mound win in relief, thus raising his record to 3-0.An elated Barnesville coach Brad Wilson credited his teams poise. Even though we got down, Wilson remarked, we felt that we could get guys on. Then it was just a matter of getting them around.Weve got a lot of upperclassmen on this squad and I think that helps us in close games like this one, Wilson continued. Brock pitched well in relief. He did a great job of shutting them down in the last two innings. Were a little arm weary right now, so its good to know we can go to him if we have to.We certainly have to get better at holding runners on, the BHS coach added. We cant continue to give up that many stolen bases.On the bright side, Barnesville (14-2) played flawlessly in the field and continued to get clutch two-out hits. Hudson, batting in the ninth spot, paced the offense with a pair of singles. Allen added a single and scored three runs.Shamrock starter Craig Miller worked into the fifth before Huntsman came on in relief. The two combined to fan six and walk none.Booth absorbed the mound loss for the Red Knights (8-13). He and Thomas combined to strike out three and walk four.Harless and Thomas did most of the offensive damage for Toronto, combining for four singles, six stolen bases and three runs. Sherwood and Booth each had a pair of singles.NEXT Barnesville will play Monday at Cadiz in the Division III Sectional Tournament against Union Local. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. As for the OVAC Class 2-A semifinals, Barnesville will play Fort Frye on Saturday at a site and time to be announced on Monday.

L-Carnitine 300 Description from Ultimate Nutrition
L-carnitine is a vitamin-like molecule that serves numerous functions in the body. Its main function is to stimulate the breakdown of fats. L-carnitine is an alpha-hydroxy acid that is primarily located in the muscle. Carnitine is the critical player for the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouses in the cell that produce energy that the body needs to function properly. The energy is produced when fats are burned in the mitochondria. Since mitochondria need oxygen to burn fat, it follows that supplementation with carnitine ensures an adequate supply of oxygen to the muscle. The supply of oxygen becomes extremely important during exercise.
Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and silica.
Manufacturer's Directions
As a dietary supplement, take two tablets twice daily between meals or as recommended by a health care professional.

| Prayer led To Pain For Cult Victims
When she joined a fledgling missionary group at evangelical Wheaton College, Carrie Andreson expected to grow closer to God.
She and other students would gather mornings in graduate student Feroze Golwalla's apartment to pray and plan for an overseas mission trip. But as the weeks passed, the students began fasting and soon were depriving themselves of sleep. Some cut off ties to family and friends and left Wheaton to follow Golwalla and his strict directives.
In her desire to become a missionary, Andreson had become part of a cult.
At Golwalla's orders, Andreson said, she even beat other members and ultimately caused self-inflicted wounds, puncturing her face and buttocks with a hanger until she bled and scarred.
"I always hated the pain," she said. "But at the same time, it made me feel more worthy to be there. I thought that this is what I needed for my own preparation as a missionary."
Andreson, who said she suffered post traumatic stress disorder, is among a group of former Wheaton students now recovering from the experience.
Maryland issued a warrant for Golwalla's arrest on misdemeanor assault charges, but because the charges are not felonies, police will not extradite him from Texas, his last known address. Attempts to reach him have been unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, parents of former members have spent thousands of dollars getting their children out of the cult. Some argue that Wheaton College – despite its protective Christian atmosphere – did little to help.
If Feroze had walked on campus with a bottle of wine and cigarettes in his pocket, he'd be kicked out of Wheaton," said Christine Wolfe, mother of twin boys who joined. "But there's nothing protecting students from a predator like Feroze." In the autobiography attached to his Wheaton application, Golwalla described himself as a Pakistan native who grew up a Parsee, belonging to a sect of the ancient Zoroastrian faith. He claimed that the Hindu priest who blessed him said, "This one is special. This baby belongs to the Most High God."
Golwalla said he later converted to Christianity and began a mission to convert other Parsees.
Shortly after arriving at the college in 1999, Golwalla advertised his group, Baruch Ha Shem, with posters reading, "Are you listening to the voice of God?"
The idea of evangelizing to "unreached people" was irresistible for some students. The college, often referred to as the Harvard of Christian colleges, attracts many children of missionaries.
Among those drawn in were Benjamin and Andrew Wolfe twins raised in an evangelical household in Massachusetts. Benjamin was at Wheaton, and his brother was a top student at Harvard when they met Golwalla.
"At the point, I was really asking the question, 'who am I?" Benjamin Wolfe said. "When I met Feroze, he gave me an answer to my questions: 'you are a missionary."
For Andrew Wolfe's first prayer meeting, Golwalla was boiling a pot of water, filling the room with steam and a prayerful atmosphere. Andrew was struck by the man's appearance. Golwalla, in his late 30's, had a medical condition that left him with no facial hair of any kind – no eyebrows or eyelashes. The pale, hairless complexion, with his Pakistani accent, added to the mystique.
"We must pray," Wolfe recalled Golwalla saying that morning in the fall of 2000, as he passed out photos of Parsees in Pakistan. "The scriptures make it very clear that unless they hear the gospel and accept Jesus as Lord, they will go to hell."
Prayer, Fasting Become Focus
Andrew Wolfe and other former members – roughly 20 in all said they eventually lost interest in everything but the group. They said Golwalla filled their days with long prayer meetings and weeks of fasting, during which they survived on nothing but juice and scraps of bread.
They said they were quick to follow Golowalla's orders because he had taught them to believe he was a prayerful man. Whenever Andrew Wolfe questioned him, he said Golwalla would ask, "Don't you trust me to hear from God?"
Golwalla kept them busy with mundane tasks, such as ordering them to compile thousands of e-mail addresses from Christian groups. The busywork limited them to three or four hours of sleep.
Cult experts say the technique is classic mind control, depriving followers of sleep and nutrition to the point that they don't question anything.
They were lured in via their Christian upbringing and their desire to serve God," said Bob Pardon, a Massachusetts – based cult expert hired by the families to get their children out. "They figured they could do it in ways they'd never seen before."
However, a minister at the Interdenominational Lighthouse church in Burleson, Texas, who befriended Golwalla, said he was simply a misunderstood immigrant with different values. She said Golwalla admitted to her that he had the students fast or beat each other.
"I didn't think that was right and I told him so," she said. "But those people were not kidnapped and brainwashed. They were adults, they were college students and they had their own free will."
Adults Raise Questions
Yet in the group's early stages a handful of professors and some staff members didn't see it that way and began raising concerns to campus administrators.
Among them was Phil Miekely, whose son, Josh, had planned to take a missionary trip with Golwalla to Pakistan but pulled out because of his father's concerns with fasting and lack of sleep.
A former Wheaton secretary, Sue Sauer, also raised red flags.
"At first, I saw a man unnaturally consumed with one passion – reaching the Parsee people," said Sauer, who attended several prayer meetings but was never a group member. "But as I got further into it, I realized it was not about the Parsees at all, but about him."
Sauer wrote to Wheaton College President Duane Liftin but was told there was little the administration could do.
In the summer of 2001, Andreson, the Wolfe brothers and another student left Wheaton for Pakistan without Golwalla, who arranged for the students to live with his family in Karachi.
The students said Golwalla ordered them to instant message him for hours so he could direct their every move, from eight –hour prayer sessions to fasting. To stay awake, they drank coffee or tea and sometimes squatted on the floor. The group spent little time evangelizing, and only to associates of Golwalla. After two months in Pakistan, Golwalla moved the group to his brother's home in Mt. Airy, Maryland.
The Wolfe's left everything behind, telling their parents they would find clothes at Salvation Army stores. Benjamin Wolfe wrote his fiancé to break off their engagement.
Members said physical abuse had begun in Pakistan but greatly worsened in the Maryland home's basement.
Former members said Golwalla hit them on their faces with rods and had them do strange punishments, such as squatting outside in the cold for hours wearing just T-shirts and socks. At times, they stood in line and beat their heads repeatedly against the floor.
Golwalla also directed that they beat one another, members said. Andreson remembers kicking and jumping on the men and hitting them with books, soda cans and ice packs.
We would just be sitting in the car and all three of us would all be [another member] over and over on the head until.... blood would be running down from his face," Andreson said. "My arms would ache from doing it."
"To the average person, it seems kind of silly, like you can't really force someone to do that," said Andrew Wolfe. "I knew things were dreadfully wrong, but I stayed because I felt this was what God wanted."
For the parents, the quest to get their children out was emotionally painful. At many points, they lost all contact with their children.
The Wolfe's parents worked with Pardon. Andreson's parents consulted with him and with Steve Hassan, a Boston-based cult researcher.
Andreson tried to leave Golwalla four times, but kept going back until the time she watched a video on cults with Hassan and gradually recognized herself as a cult victim.
Group Moves To Dallas
After Andreson left the Maryland home, Golwalla moved with Benjamin and Andrew Wolfe to the campus of Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, where he has spent part of his undergraduate years. The group spent nearly another year trying to recruit students to the mission before Pardon arranged for friends of the Wolfe's to go to the campus and plead with them to get out. That intervention in May 2003 was enough to persuade Andrew to walk out after 2 ½ years.
A month later Benjamin left, saying he did so only because he wanted to prove to everyone that Golwalla was a good man. In therapy with his brother at Pardon's rehabilitation center, his views changed.
While relieved to get their children out, some parents are frustrated by what they see as a slow and tame response from Wheaton College.
More than a year ago, Wheaton College's vice president for student development, Samuel Shellhamer, wrote Pardon to say that Golwalla, a graduate, was no longer welcome on campus.
"We have become aware of additional concerns within the last few years about Feroze and dynamics within his ministry that appear to be 'cult-like,' he wrote.
Wheaton College's chaplain, Stephen Kellough, said administrators are now considering whether students should get more information on cults. But he said there was little they could have done to protect Baruch Ha Shem's members.
".... I didn't see that [spiritual] fervency as something that was leading to harmful cult involvement," he said.
Colleges May Fear Lawsuits
Some cult researchers say it's typical for college campuses to react cautiously to such complaints.
Campuses are afraid of being sued so they're reluctant to take any action that perhaps could expose them to litigation," said Ron Loomis, a former Cornell University administrator and consultant for the American Family Foundation, a Florida –based cult research group.
Former cult members say they'll also try educating college students. Andreson, who left Wheaton in mid studies, is now back in college and is interested in psychology.
Andrew Wolfe is working on a book. After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard while still in the group, he passed up a full scholarship for a Master's/PhD program at Stanford to follow Golwalla. He said it's important to understand that all kinds of students can be vulnerable.
"Often people who live through this kind of abuse feel a lot of shame," he said. "In my story, I want those people to feel a sense of normalcy, to feel that yes, this is who I was and I'm not so weird after all."

int n is what I use to count the array size. Everytime the for loop inputs values in to my arrays, it adds one to
n and then carries out the for loop until input no longer holds true or the local variable
i reaches the maximum allowed size of my array (1000).
n seems to overcount by one. This forces me to set
int n = -1, but this causes problems when I have an input file which contains 1000 values (the maximum size of my array) that have to be placed in to each array.
int n will over count by one.
int n. So, even though input still tests true once it reaches the last part of my input file, it will only add one to
int n if anything is actually input in to the arrays.

Art & Artifact: Pair of Silver Glitter Reindeer
These dazzling deer are large enough to create a fantastical winter landscape, but still small enough to keep inside. And unlike a tree, they do not have a specific expiration date. I would let them graze throughout the winter months.

Whatever the weather: dealing with atmospheric impacts
Two great rivers cutting through the heart of Bangladesh hold the fate of millions in their flow. Every few years, major floods engorge the Brahmaputra and Ganges for periods ranging from a few days to a month or more. At least 500 people died and five million were displaced in the summer of 2007 as floods inundated much of central Bangladesh. Farmers or fishers can easily lose a year's worth of income in a single flood.
U.S. scientists have worked with Bangladeshi officials on developing better flood warnings with support since 1999 from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the relief agency CARE. The system became operational in 2003, and in 2007, a new dissemination program brought warnings directly (sometimes through door-to-door contact) to more than 100,000 residents. Thomas Hopson, who helped develop the forecasting techniques, is now a postdoctoral researcher at NCAR, where he's watching the research bear fruit. "It's hugely satisfying to see these forecasts being used to help Bangladeshi citizens," he says.
Hopson and lead scientist Peter Webster (Georgia Institute of Technology) forged a partnership with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts to use ECMWF's highly regarded ensembles, which span periods of up to 15 days for weather and up to six months for seasonal trends. Hopson combines these outlooks with river observations from Bangladesh to issue daily odds that river heights will exceed critical levels. In a 2007 pilot program organized by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center, residents of five rural provinces along the Brahmaputra received probabilistic flood forecasts going out to 10 days. In coming years the forecasts will be extended to cover intervals of 15 to 30 days and eventually out to six months, providing the greater lead times that residents say are essential.
This happy marriage of high-end science and user-tailored warnings is the type of work Michael Glantz has advocated for more than 30 years. As NCAR's first political scientist, Glantz studied El Niño and its impacts well before the phenomenon became widely known. He's now working with campuses nationwide to establish curricula in climate, weather, and water affairs. These blends of physical and social science are urgently needed, says Glantz, to help societies adapt to the normal vagaries of weather as well as the possible repercussions of climate change.
"Most of my work has been about weather and climate variability rather than change," says Glantz.
People in prosperous countries often think they're free of weather impacts until the lights go out or the tap runs dry. Utilities are a critical buffer between everyday American life and hardships that can last days or even weeks, as seen in the aftermath of 2005's Hurricane Katrina. Brian Bush and his colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory are examining ways to provide government stakeholders with forecasts of damage to utility infrastructure and estimates of subsequent repair as part of a broad, multiyear collaboration. For the last two years, Bush has been stationed at NCAR, linking output from tools such as the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) with hurricane damage models developed at LANL for the U.S. departments of Homeland Security and Energy.
In one outgrowth of this work, high-resolution wind and rain forecasts from WRF
were used in the analysis of Katrina, where they provided damage probabilities for generation stations, substations, and power lines across the central Gulf Coast. The outlook had to consider not only the time required to restore systems but also the time needed for workers to get to the damaged equipment in the first place—a major consideration for a storm as large and intense as Katrina.
Electric companies aren't the only utilities affected by extreme weather. Water utilities must contend with the twin threats of floods and droughts, both of which appear likely to be exacerbated by climate change. Two NCAR scientists are helping utilities to see how they might best adapt and prepare. Economist Kathleen Miller and hydrological engineer David Yates coauthored the 2006 book Climate Change and Water Resources: A Primer for Municipal Water Providers. With case studies ranging from saltwater intrusion in Miami and the Netherlands to wildfires near Denver, "the focus is on usable information," says Miller. "We wanted to make the book very accessible to people from the industry and to involve them directly in identifying vulnerabilities and options for adaptation."
While urging utilities to recognize the serious risks posed by climate change, Yates cautions them about relying on the most fine-grained outlooks just yet: "I tell them that results from climate models are still problematic because we don't do a good enough job of modeling precipitation." Rather than taking model output as gospel, he advises utilities to look at what models suggest is most likely and examine their vulnerabilities in that light. "It's simply best-management practice, with climate change being a new layer of uncertainty."

Every summer, I pick out a TV show to watch. Sometimes, it's a new show that I've heard folks buzzing about. But more often than not, I chose an old TV show — either something that I remember watching as a kid or something that I always wanted to watch and just never had time to.
In previous summers, I've re-watched The A-Team, which was my absolute favorite show as a kid. And yeah, probably as an adult too. LOL. I've also watched all eight seasons of Magnum P.I., which was escapist fun, and I've checked out the first season of Miami Vice, which was way darker and more depressing than I thought it would be.
This summer, I decided to re-watch Saved by the Bell.
As a kid, I loved Saved by the Bell, especially Mr. Zack Morris. I was totally Team Zack from day one. Seriously, Kelly, why did you spend so much time dating Slater? Zack was always so much cooler.
I have fond memories of Zack and the gang and all their hijinks, and I remember a lot of the episodes. Seriously, a lot of them. I don't know if my memory is that good, or I just watched the episodes that many times as a kid. Probably a little of both.
But it's interesting going back and watching the show now. I'll admit that some of it makes me cringe — the bad fashions, the cheesy jokes, how mean everyone was to Screech.
But you know what? I still really like the show. If nothing else, it's a chance to look back fondly on something fun and goofy from my childhood. And I think we could all use a little more fun and goofy in our lives, don't you?
What about you guys? Are there any shows you want to check out or re-watch this summer?
The first season of Saved by the Bell is about $10 on Amazon. So, in honor of that, I'm giving away a $10 Amazon gift card, so you can check out the series for yourself.

- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 4 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (1 1/4 pounds), plus more for rolling
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 sticks unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and chilled
- 1/2 unsalted butter
- 4 ounces pecans (1 cup)
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs beaten with 1/4 cup of water
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Make the Dough
In a medium bowl, combine the yeast with the warm water and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the 6 eggs. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook, mix the 4 1/2 cups of sifted flour with the salt and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Add the egg mixture and beat at medium speed until the dough is just moistened and very stiff. Add the butter a few cubes at a time, waiting until it is partially kneaded into the dough before adding more. Continue kneading until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough is silky, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and slightly risen, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Make the Filling
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the pecans in a pie plate and toast for about 8 minutes, until fragrant and browned. Let cool, then finely chop the pecans. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Make the Filling
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On a floured surface, cut the dough into 2 pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time (while keeping the other refrigerated), roll the dough out to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and refrigerate until chilled. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Make the Filling
Spread half of the sour cream over one sheet of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle with half of the pecan filling. Brush the long sides with some of the egg wash. Roll up the dough from a long side into a tight cylinder and pinch the ends to seal. Freeze the dough log until it is chilled, about 2 hours. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Cover and refrigerate the remaining egg wash.
Make the Filling
Transfer the logs to a work surface and cut each one into 12 even slices. Set the slices on the baking sheet, cut sides up. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours and preferably overnight.
Make the Filling
Unwrap the rolls and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
Make the Filling
Preheat the oven to 350°. Brush the tops and sides of the rolls with the egg wash and bake in the center of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden and risen.
Meanwhile, Make the Sugar Glaze
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the confectioners' sugar with the butter, heavy cream and vanilla extract until thick and smooth. Spread the sugar glaze on the hot cinnamon rolls and let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
