PARIS – Dinosaurs engaged in showy displays to attract mates 100 million years ago by clawing huge troughs in the ground with their feet, according to a new study.
Scientists have long speculated that theropods — which included mega-carnivores like T. Rex and more nimble dinos that eventually evolved into birds — engaged in courtship rituals of some kind.
One of the main drivers of evolution is sexual selection, in which males compete for the attention and affections of potential partners.
But in the absence of physical evidence, these theories remained just that: speculation.
The study, published in Scientific Reports, provides the first hard proof of foreplay in the Cretaceous, a period that ended with the abrupt extinction of non-avian dinosaurs some 66 million years ago.
Exhibit A: several dozen double furrows — some the size of a bathtub — spread across four sites in the Dakota Sandstone, a rock formation in the western U.S. state of Colorado.
"These huge scrape displays fill in a missing gap in our understanding of dinosaur behavior," lead author Martin Lockley, a researcher at the University of Colorado, said in a statement.
The fossilized marks are similar to scrapes made by some modern birds, reinforcing recent studies establishing an evolutionary link, the study said.
Atlantic puffins, for example, scratch out similar troughs in the run-up to breeding, while the ostrich — much closer in size to some small dinosaurs — do the same, and then use one of the shallow troughs to lay eggs in.
"Modern birds using scrape ceremony courtship usually do so near their final nesting sites," Lockley commented.
"So the fossil scrape evidence offers a tantalizing clue that dinosaurs in 'heat' may have gathered here millions of years ago to breed and then nest nearby."
Bird specialists describe such behavior as "nest scrape display," or "pseudo-nest building," he added.
From the time of their discovery, there was no doubt that the deep furrows found in Colorado had been produced by dinosaurs.
But the team led by Lockley — a well-known expert on dinosaur footprints — also went through a list of other possible explanations.
One was that, rather than ritual markings, the scrapes were actual nesting grounds. They might also have been evidence of dinosaurs digging for food or water.
A third hypothesis was that they had been made to mark territory, the way many mammals today do in the wild by spaying urine or pungent chemicals, or gnawing on tree bark.
In each case, however, the researchers pointed to evidence showing why none of these scenarios was possible or likely.

text: Auburn (8-4, 5-3 SEC) saw its regular season come to and end and will wait for a bowl bid. He sat out the first half of the Vanderbilt game the next week but came off the bench in the second half to help the Tigers pull out a 23-16 win. The Gators' other fast wide receiver, freshman Tyrie Cleveland, caught only two passes for 19 yards, a week after he and Appleby connected on a 98-yard touchdown against LSU. That's a tough task with one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the nation in Zach Terrell, the FBS' new record holder in receiving yards in Davis and one of the conference's best running backs in Jarvion Franklin lining up for the Broncos.Florida ranks a putrid 114th nationally in total offense with 352.7 yards generated per game.Florida has been led this season by quarterback Luke Del Rio who has racked up 1,358 yards and eight touchdowns this season. Florida has, after all, lost their last three outings against the Seminoles. The Gators allow 158 yards per game and are No. 3 in that category.AUBURN KEY TRENDS: The Tigers have covered in four of their last five road games and in nine of their last 12 overall. You don't care about any bowl games.Whoever wins the game will have bragging rights for a full year! "He's from the state also, so it's a little more personal". The Commodores outgained Tennessee 608-516 in beating the Vols for the third time in five seasons."Anybody who says that you can afford to lose a game doesn't know what it's like to play sports", tailback Damien Harris said after Saturday's 30-12 win over Auburn. That's when Auburn won on a 109-yard return of a missed field goal on the final play, ultimately winning the SEC title and playing for a national championship.Jackson's desperation heave from deep in Louisville territory was intercepted by Mike Edwards, his second of the game. Cox's one pass, which Auburn actually had lined up earlier to run in the first half of the game before a late Malzahn timeout, ended in an interception. The sophomore struck a Heisman pose after a tying touchdown in the fourth quarter.NO. 25 NAVY 75, SMU 31: Will Worth accounted for four touchdowns while becoming the first Navy quarterback with more than 100 yards rushing and 100 yards passing in three consecutive games as the Midshipmen beat SMU in Dallas. Alabama's Adam Griffith has been less consistent, making 14 of 20.The offense took it from there.Three-star defensive end Jordan Davis (Memphis, TN) also visited Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl, and left town with a scholarship offer from the Tide. But the Bulldogs had Thomas covered, so Searcy took off through an opening up the middle, jumped at the 3 with the ball outstretched and managed to just get it over the goal line. The Commodores (6-6, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) received a bowl berth for the first time since 2013. This victory – in front of a 66,038 fans on the Rebels' home turf – was particularly impressive. Hurts finished with just 37 yards on 12 carries.Mississippi State jumped out to a 27-10 lead by midway through the second quarter largely thanks to big running plays for Fitzgerald and Williams.

Film incentives: Bulk of $1.3 million allocated for next fiscal year to go to Hallmark show
Last year, the Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media got a big boost when lawmakers passed a bill to increase cash rebates to moviemakers who choose to film here -- an incentives package that came with $3 million in funding. And new film commissioner Donald Zuckerman made good use of the money (along with nearly $1 million already in the coffers), luring three feature films and several television projects.
But next fiscal year, he'll have less to give out: $1.3 million, all of which has been designated already.
The money is earmarked for a show being produced for the Hallmark Channel called When Calls the Heart. The plot? "A young woman in 1910 takes a teaching job in a rural coal-mining town after her college graduation. She falls in love with a local mountie and together, they take on the domineering coal company that runs the Wild West town. "
In March, the Colorado Economic Development Commission conditionally approved giving a rebate of up to $1.6 million to the show, which is projected to spend $8 million here. But whether that cash would be available depended on how much money lawmakers included for film incentives in the next fiscal year's budget, which starts July 1.

That number was only $1 million when the budget was drafted, Zuckerman says, because the program still had $3 million in the bank at the time. But after offering incentives to several projects, it soon had far less than that. Though Zuckerman advocated for an additional $1.8 million to be added, he says the Joint Budget Committee deadlocked and the additional film-incentives money was rejected.
Zuckerman is trying to look on the bright side. "Prior to my arrival here and prior to (John) Hickenlooper being governor, they had been allocating $300,000 a year to the film office," he says. "Since then, it's gone up quite a bit."
In all, the Office of Film, Television and Media was allocated $1.3 million for operating expenses and film incentives. What that means for the incentives program, Zuckerman says, is that "all the money allocated for this current fiscal year we're in and the next fiscal year ... is already spoken for." The bulk of next year's money will go to the Hallmark Channel show, which is being produced by Brad Krevoy -- whose film credits include Dumb & Dumber (which was partly filmed in Colorado) and Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 -- and Brian Bird, who produced Touched by an Angel. The director is Michael Landon, Jr., the son of the Little House on the Prairie star and a steadfast Christian.
The Colorado town where the show will be filmed -- which hasn't been announced just yet -- also offered an incentive, Zuckerman says. "Between the state and local incentive, we were able to snatch the Hallmark series from Alberta" in Canada, he says.
Despite the fact that Colorado is out of money, Zuckerman says filmmakers are continuing to film here. For instance, he says that the Weather Channel show Prospectors, a series about modern-day gem-seekers that was previously granted a rebate for its first season, plans to return to Colorado to film a second season. "They're doing it without incentives because they've already established the characters and the place," Zuckerman says. "We get the benefit of getting a second season by incentivizing the first season."

cya koolio...good to see u get ur feet wet with crude again
Hey Kool- late to get out of the gate today but nice to see you trading crude. I have been trying to get a toe in the water trading QM which is really CL/2. When you have a moment could you elaborate on your last long trade in CL this afternoon? Was interested in what time frame and price projection you were using to enter. Thanks as always.
Originally posted by koolblue...sure Einstein... see the chart? see the obvious support around that 82.60 level? And notice the 2 lows i have marked.. after the second one it seemed to me it would be natural to test the upper boundry around 83.10 or so. i had the projection to 83.13 and a short term chart saying 82.97 minimum! when i saw this we were around 82.69... a few seconds later ,it started to take off so i just pulled the trigger for a market fill.Hence my entry.too bad it was so late

Hubby and I decided we wanted to go to some of the places we missed in our 30 years of living in NOVA so we booked 3 nights here. The room was ok, well, the view was great - up high facing the river. Walls were thin and our neighbors loud. The TV was Dish, analog, and poor local channel reception. We walked to breakfast each day...better options and price.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
At this lovely restaurant, chef Brett Shaheen turns out Italian-inspired dishes that deserve standing ovations (his pappardelle with venison and chicken-liver mousse is remarkable), and he'll bring your clapping to a roar with his crimson-hued lamb chops plated with a mushroom turnover. But it's the effervescent presence of front-of-the-house veteran and general manager Gary Keller that resonates throughout the lively dining room. Keller — whose combined decades of running the floor at Panzano, Palace Arms, and the shuttered Cafe Giovanni, Cliff Young's and Highland's Garden Cafe have made him the city's most consummate professional and committed caretaker — graciously touches every table, educating guests about his new stunner of a wine list, cheeses from around the globe and the anatomy of Shaheen's plates. He makes every guest feel like royalty, but there's no pretense to his performance — just effortless smiles and big-hearted hugs or handshakes that make you feel like you're the star of the show. Well played, sir.
It's good to be king. It's even better to be at Breakfast King when everyone else is asleep and you're looking for a home away from home, a home where the friendly, wisecracking servers know not just your name, but your regular order. That's likely to be chicken-fried steak smothered in country gravy — the best chicken-fried steak in the city at any time of the day — sided with endless cups of coffee. But the kitchen is cooking up that huge menu at all hours, so you can also get eggs any way imaginable, comfort-food dinners, or just a big slice of pie to soak up some of the coffee. No matter what you order, it will be a feast fit for a king.
People love chicken. People love waffles. Why, then, is chicken and waffles so polarizing, one of those dishes you either love or hate? At Session Kitchen, chef Scott Parker has created a version so good, and yet so different, we can all agree to like it. Called "chicken-liver mousse," his alternative is every bit as rich as the original, yet it comes off much lighter and more contemporary, a perfect fit for the dynamic street art and murals inside the stunning two-level space. Rather than fried chicken, Parker offers a jar of chicken-liver mousse accented with a dollop of seasonal, housemade jam. Sharing the plate are airy, crisp Belgian waffles, scented with orange and made from almond flour. The combination of smooth, earthy mousse, sweet jam and waffle is not a traditional chicken and waffles, but no one's quibbling when it tastes this good.
At a time when nearly anything can be eaten at the bar, it's hard to say just what counts as bar snacks. Is it a small plate of rillette on toast? Wings? Housemade trail mix? Yes to all. But when you want a classic snack, something with crunch and salt to nibble while unwinding from the day over a drink, nothing beats the mariquitas Cubana at Cuba Cuba. With a hint of sweetness and none of the oily residue of freshly fried potato chips, these long, thin strips of fried green plantains are just what you want with your coconut mojito. Although also available at the Sandwicherias in Boulder and Glendale, they're at their best at the flagship, full-service restaurant, where they're paired not just with garlicky mojo, but with mango-habanero mojo and guacamole. The platter is large enough for everyone to have some, but not so big that it will ruin the very good dinner to come.
The best just got better last year, when Boney's Smokehouse — Lamont and Trina Lynch's downtown, down-home restaurant — moved into a bigger space just a few doors away. Tucked in the basement, the new Boney's can be hard to find, but it's definitely worth the search...and some advance planning, since the hours are limited. But there's no limit to the load of barbecue you'll want to order — brisket, chopped chicken, pulled pork, hot links and ribs that have so much flavor from their dry rub and long tenure over low heat that they don't need sauce. Still, you won't want to miss the three versions at Boney's: a tangy basic sauce also offered hot, a sweet jalapeño and an excellent, mustardy gold. And give Boney's extra points for sides ranging from great collard greens and barbecue beans to lip-smacking mac and cheese. Lamont, a native of Florida, has spent years giving a Southern tweak to a repertoire of family recipes imported from the Bahamas; as a result, this barbecue defies categorization. Just call it the best.
"I think I love you," swooned the woman at the bar, her proclamation intended for the bartender who'd just slid a textbook-perfect Manhattan under her nose. Marcel Templet, the veteran who's been behind the booze at Capital Grille for ten years, is an everyman's bartender, an effortlessly affable guy who's mastered the art of greeting every stain of lipstick and every tint of tie by name while simultaneously commiserating with a just-dumped barfly, announcing game scores, juggling four liquor bottles and reciting the backstory of every spirit he pours. And he does all of it with genuine authenticity and an easy smile. You can teach almost anyone how to make a good cocktail, but it's the personality of the bartender that defines the personality of the bar, and Templet, whose showmanship hits all the right notes, leaves a lovely lasting impression.

Vanessa Williams joins Miss America panel
Vanessa Williams has joined the judging panel of the 95th Miss America pageant.
The model, singer and actress - who was forced to resign as the reigning Miss America in 1983 after just 10 months when naked photographs of her from an old shoot appeared in Penthouse magazine - will make a comeback to the competition as head judge this year.
Vanessa, 52, will join a celebrity panel which includes Brett Eldredge, Taya Kyle, Danica McKellar, Kevin O'Leary, Amy Purdy and Zendaya Coleman.
Sam Haskell, executive chairman and CEO of Miss America, said: "Vanessa's career speaks for itself, with all the success that she has had. When I became chairman of Miss America, one of the first calls I made was to Vanessa, to try to find a way to get her to come back. Her return as a huge success is a way for us all to move forward and put the past behind us. It's truly an honour to welcome her back to the Miss America Pageant."
And Sam also revealed that he was saddened when Vanessa resigned but acknowledged that fighting a legal battle to keep her crown could have been detrimental to her career.
He said: "I have been friends with Vanessa for 32 years. When the photos were published, there were people urging her to fight, but close supporters knew if she lost that fight that she would be completely removed from the history books. Instead of pursuing what would surely have been a long and stressful legal battle, Vanessa decided to resign and focus on her career. Vanessa and her family were hurt during the aftermath of the resignation, and that saddened me."
Vanessa recently married Jim Skrip in a surprise July 4th ceremony.

2nd HealthSouth Official Pleads Guilty
CFO joins predecessor in agreeing to testifyMar 27, 2003 | AP
The suspended chief financial officer of HealthSouth Corp. pleaded guilty yesterday to federal fraud and conspiracy charges in a huge accounting fraud that has rocked the health care giant.
William T. Owens, suspended March 20 along with HealthSouth's chief executive, Richard M. Scrushy, was also charged with filing false certification of financial information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Owens, 44, of Birmingham, faces a maximum of 30 years in prison and as much as $5.5 million in fines, said prosecutors, who agreed to recommend a lighter penalty in return for his cooperation.
U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn said sentencing would be in about four months.
Owens appeared relaxed and stood with a hand in his pants pocket during the hearing. He declined to comment to reporters.
Defense attorney Frederick G. Helmsing said he doubted Owens would avoid jail time. "He regrets the conduct that required today's proceedings," Helmsing said.
Prosecutor Richard N. Wiedis said Owens is cooperating with investigators. Owens was allowed to remain free on $500 bond, and the judge told him not to leave the country.
The criminal charges were filed in a sealed document late Tuesday that was made public yesterday morning.
Owens and Scrushy were suspended a day after the SEC accused Scrushy and the company he founded with overstating profits by at least $1.4 billion since 1999.
Scrushy has not been charged with a crime but is the target of a federal criminal investigation, according to court documents filed by his attorneys.
U.S. Attorney Alice H. Martin said more charges and plea deals were likely for HealthSouth employees who help prosecutors. She declined to comment on whether Scrushy might be indicted.
Last week HealthSouth's board elected director Joel C. Gordon to replace Scrushy as acting chairman and assigned another director, Robert P. May, as acting CEO.
The New York Stock Exchange is seeking permission from the SEC to delist the company.
The stock, which sold for $3.91 a share before trading was suspended, sold over the counter yesterday for 11 cents a share. Its stock had gone as high as $30 a share in the past five years.
Owens' plea agreement is the second reached in the HealthSouth investigation.
On March 19, the Justice Department announced that Weston L. Smith, 42, the company's former chief financial officer, had agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges in exchange for his testimony. The plea bargain calls for him to admit to securities fraud, conspiracy and wire fraud charges, as well as false certification of financial records.
HealthSouth, the largest U.S. provider of outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation services, has about 50,000 employees and 1,700 facilities in all 50 states and abroad.

The firm said the notification came from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, and was because of non-compliance with the minimum, $1.00 per share closing bid price requirement of the exchange. NextWave said it will begin trading instead on the OTCQB market as WAVE.

Building the gargantuan, four-layer, 20-lb cake in Classical Desserts class (with buttercream between layers (some people did cherries ... whole cherries), topped with jam, marzipan, buttercream, then fondant—it was insane, and some of the classmates could barely lift theirs without help!)

Daring Bakers, November: Tender Potato Bread
At the beginning of every month, a group of blogging bakers of all ability levels called the Daring Bakers are issued a challenge by the month's host. At the end of the month, on the same day, all of the participating Daring Bakers post their results. This month, the marvelous Tanna of My Kitchen in Half Cups hosted the Tender Potato Bread challenge. This is my story ...
We've got an exciting lineup for you today, folks!
Our challenger, coming in at 50 pounds lighter than she did a year ago thanks in great part to low-carb/healthy-carb eating habits, Julie "The Snacker" Elefante (no lie--that's my name--it's Spanish-influenced Filipino)!
Aaaaaand in this corner! Weighing in at 12 and 7/8 ounces! Spud "The Carb Bomb" Tater!
And, ladies and gentlemen, she slices, she dices, she hooks and she jabs, Julie tears Tater to pieces and plunges him into boiling water to soften him up! Ding! Round to Julie!
Now, Tater tries to resist, but Julie throws a right! A left! A right! A left! A ... ricer! Tater is simply shredded by Julie's ricer!
Uh oh! It isn't Julie's match yet! Tater ducks under Julie's fork and ... what's going on, folks? Emboldened by flour, yeast, and water, he's showing great resilience! And he makes a comeback!
And, ladies in gentlemen, Tater is definitely back in the game! Julie kneads it, but it seems to knead her back! And she suffers a stunning blow as Tater rips her bowl scraper out of her hand and eats it whole! She punches around frantically, trying to find it, and just barely manages to rescue it, but it was a close one! Retreat to your corners, combatants! To your corners!
Ohhhh, boy, Julie sure got a rise out of Tater! Look at him—he's just blowing up! What a reaction!
Can Julie comes back? She wrestles him around on the bench, folds him, rolls him, and lays him into a deathlock, slamming him into the pan!
But wait—what's this! Tater has henchmen! No problem—Julie can take them, wrestling them into hasty, brutish knots!
Can we get an instant replay?
Yes, Julie has taken on all of Tater's henchmen, and Tater himself! What will become of them? It looks like their goose is cooked!
Twelve hours later ... all is peaceful in Julie's little Burrow. Her One-Wall Kitchen, while still reeling from the aftermath of the Tater match, is coming together. And Tater?
Tater's in a better place now. With a special cameo from homemade whole wheat bread (the oval-shaped guy in the back left, then there's sliced cucumbers and lemon cucumbers, roasted red peppers, meats, cheeses, grapes, and other stuff).
And that's all that we, gentle viewers, need to know. (Holy crumb!--sorry, that was three-way punny)
Commercial: Here at the One-Wall Kitche, Julie eats her sammiches with half an animal's worth of meat. Mmmm ... gooey melted cheese ...
And salad!
Closing observations:
*I wish I'd weighed the potatoes at the farmers' market. Each weight between 10-14 ounces, and I brought four home thinking they weighed less. Since I don't eat many taters, I sent them home with my SAS guests.
*Yes, the dough was sticky. It was ridiculous sticky! But the more I worked it and added flour, the more it firmed up. I added somewhere under 2 additional cups of flour. My bowl scraper really was essential in maintaining order and sanity. Reading through Richard Bertinet's Dough was really inspiring in getting me through the worst of it because he talks about working with sticky dough and letting up firm up naturally as you knead it. The dough was still pretty sticky before its second rise, but after, it was firm enough to gently shape.
*This webpage shows how to make kaiser rolls/rosettes/bread knots almost exactly the way I made them. I just reversed my tucks to get an "innie" roll instead of an "outie."
*I baked the bread late Saturday night and was still good Monday night with the last sandwich. I kept it in my makeshift breadbox, a.k.a. my cake carrier. When my cake carrier's in use, I use my microwave (not in use, of course). And vice versa.
*This is a keeper. The bread was delicious, and I felt a huge sense of achievement after working with this wet dough. It's definitely not daunting anymore!

Tender Potato Bread
from Home Baking: The Artful Mix of Flour & Tradition Around the World by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid
makes 1 large tender-crumbed pan loaf AND something more; one 10X15 inch crusty yet tender foccacia, 12 soft dinner rolls, or a small pan loaf
4 medium to large floury (baking) potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks.
[Tanna Note: For the beginner bread baker I suggest no more than 8 ounces of potato; for the more advanced no more than 16 ounces. The variety of potatoes you might want to use would include Idaho, Russet & Yukon gold, there are others.]
4 cups (950 ml) water, reserve cooking water
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp salt
2 tsp active dry yeast
6 ½ cups to 8 ½ cups (1 kg to 1350g) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (130g) whole wheat flour
making the dough (directions for making by hand):
Put potatoes and 4 cups water in a sauce pan and bring to boil. Add 1 tsp salt and cook, half covered, until the potatoes are very tender. Drain potatoes, SAVE POTATO WATER, and mash potatoes well. Measure out 3 cups (750ml) of reserved potato water. Add extra water if needed to make 3 cups. Place the water and mashed potatoes in the bowl you plan to mix the bread dough in. Let cool to lukewarm (70-80°F/21 – 29°C) – stir well before testing the temperature. If using active dry yeast or fresh yeast, mix & stir yeast into cooled water and mashed potatoes & water and let stand 5 minutes. Then add 2 cups of flour to the yeast mix and allow to rest several minutes. If using instant dry yeast, add yeast to 2 cups all-purpose flour and whisk. Add yeast and flour to the cooled mashed potatoes & water and mix well. Allow to rest/sit 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the remaining 1 tbsp salt and the softened butter; mix well. Add the 1 cup whole wheat flour, stir briefly. Add 2 cups of the unbleached all-purpose flour and stir until all the flour has been incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, incorporating flour as needed to prevent sticking. The dough will be very sticky to begin with, but as it takes up more flour from the kneading surface, it will become easier to handle; use a dough scraper to keep your surface clean. The kneaded dough will still be very soft. Place the dough in a large clean bowl or your rising container of choice, cover with plastic wrap or lid, and let rise about 2 hours or until doubled in volume. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead gently several minutes. It will be moist and a little sticky.
forming the bread:
Divide the dough into 2 unequal pieces in a proportion of one-third and two-thirds (one will be twice as large as the other). Place the smaller piece to one side and cover loosely.
To shape the large loaf:
Butter a 9 x 5 x 2.5 inch loaf/bread pan. Flatten the larger piece of dough on the floured surface to an approximate 12 x 8 inch oval, then roll it up from a narrow end to form a loaf. Pinch the seam closed and gently place seam side down in the buttered pan. The dough should come about three-quarters of the way up the sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 35 to 45 minutes, until puffy and almost doubled in volume.
To make a small loaf with the remainder:
Butter an 8x4X2 inch bread pan. Shape and proof the loaf the same way as the large loaf.
To make rolls:
Butter a 13 x 9 inch sheet cake pan or a shallow cake pan. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball under the palm of your floured hand and place on the baking sheet, leaving 1/2 inch between the balls. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about 35 minutes, until puffy and almost doubled.
To make focaccia:
Flatten out the dough to a rectangle about 10 x 15 inches with your palms and fingertips. Tear off a piece of parchment paper or wax paper a little longer than the dough and dust it generously with flour. Transfer the focaccia to the paper. Brush the top of the dough generously with olive oil, sprinkle on a little coarse sea salt, as well as some rosemary leaves, if you wish and then finally dimple all over with your fingertips. Cover with plastic and let rise for 20 minutes.
baking the bread:
Note about baking order: bake the flat-bread before you bake the loaf; bake the rolls at the same time as the loaf.
Note about baking temps from Tanna: I believe that 450°F(230°C) is going to prove to be too hot for the either the large or small loaf of bread for the entire 40/50 minutes. I am going to put the loaves in at 450°(230°C) for 10 minutes and then turn the oven down to 375°F (190 °C) for the remaining time.
Note about cooling times: Let all the breads cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Rolls can be served warm or at room temperature.
For loaves and rolls:
Dust risen loaves and rolls with a little all-purpose flour or lightly brush the tops with a little melted butter or olive oil (the butter will give a golden/browned crust). Slash loaves crosswise two or three times with a razor blade or very sharp knife and immediately place on the stone, tiles or baking sheet in the oven. Place the rolls next to the loaf in the oven. Bake rolls until golden, about 30 minutes. Bake the small loaf for about 40 minutes. Bake the large loaf for about 50 minutes. Transfer the rolls to a rack when done to cool. When the loaf or loaves have baked for the specified time, remove from the pans and place back on the stone, tiles or baking sheet for another 5 to 10 minutes. The corners should be firm when pinched and the bread should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
For focaccia:
Place a baking stone or unglazed quarry tiles, if you have them, if not use a no edged baking/sheet (you want to be able to slide the shaped dough on the parchment paper onto the stone or baking sheet and an edge complicates things). Place the stone or cookie sheet on a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450°F/230°C. If making focaccia, just before baking, dimple the bread all over again with your fingertips. Leaving it on the paper, transfer to the hot baking stone, tiles or baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack (remove paper) and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

Holiday travel and eating
In less than 6 hours, I'll be flying home to sunny California to visit my parents in my hometown. It'll probably be more like overcast, but eh ... there will be homecooking and seafood ... and homecooked seafood! I'll save the Thanksgiving food post for another day, though.
I really don't eat well when I travel. This is the time when health and fitness mags and webzines start issuing tips on how to avoid eating badly while you're traveling. When I fly somewhere in the morning, I find the airport's Burger King and get a croissanwich and hashed browns value meal with o.j. If I fly in the afternoon/evening, I get something creamy and frothy from Starbucks. I miss when they had almond toffee bars, although I've come close (close enough) to finding a doppleganger recipe. Still, I always find something in their pastry case to tempt my tummy.
This year, holiday travel eating started early with a breakfast burrito, and for lunch, a grilled Reuben, both from one of my favorite sandwich shops, Dagwood's. Oy! And after talking to my mom a few days back, I know there's more good food on the horizon. That said, I'm going to revisit something my doc told me last December before she prescribed the South Beach Diet (Phase 2). She said that all the holiday parties I'll be going to will have lots of food out, but 99% of it won't be worth eating. If I'm going to ruin myself, don't let it be on that junk. No cookie trays or commercial candies. No boxed taters or store-bought pies. If only I went to parties where my friends offered more junk. *sigh* Luckily, mom's food tends to be pretty clean and healthy!
A promise to myself: don't drop the workouts during my visit, even if it's just ambling along on my parents' treadmill for half an hour. Maybe I could get my fambly to ambly with me! Woot!
Happy Holidays, all! All I want for X-Mas is a working oven, and supposedly, the repairman will come on Monday with a new bake element, since I apparently burned out the last one. *blush* Read more!

simple salads
All was peaceful in the landscape--rolling hills of broccoli, restful crab, sweeps of dill ...
Then, bombs away, yogurt mustard dressing!* Yay!
*Dressing inspired by Phaidon Press' The Silver Spoon.
I don't need not stinkin' oven to eat! But thank goodness someone's coming out to look at it tomorrow! Read more!

I recently ordered Ruta Kahate's 5 Spices, 50 Dishes, and one of many, many mouthwatering dishes included a recipe for shrikhand. I'm a novice when it comes to cooking Indian dishes, although I really enjoy using many of the cuisine's spices, and I've long loved eating it. This dish uses one of my most favorite of all spices--cardamom. It's the saffron that really comes through here, though. I'm not complaining! The shrikhand recipe is located here, and it's a cinch to make!
Plated and good to go! But ... it's missing something.
*sprinkle sprinkle*
Mmmm, Mount St. Saffron!
I've discovered my favorite way to eat saffron!
It's sweet, a little tart from the yogurt, and deliciously aromatic from the saffron. The nuts give a nice, occasional crunch. I didn't have pistachios on hand, so I used hazelnuts, instead. Read more!

Hazelnut cake; Pear, red onion, and gorgonzola tarte tatin (Waiter, there's something in my ... ); and my oven is broken
I had high hopes.
I had big dreams. I ribboned my eggs.
Mixed in the ground nuts and flour. Tucked them into their pots.
And was totally confused when 10-minute bake time took more than 90. In the back of my mind, I was in denial that my oven did NOT feel like 375. I just swallowed the lump in my throat (not the cake ... not yet, anyway), and turned it out. It was ... rough.
But i had a green plate! And jam! The cake's flavor was nice and nutty--not too sweet, but the texture was wrong. The jam saved it from being inedibly dry.
And, like a fool, I ignored it, chalking it up to just my messing up the recipe, or some measure or something being off. *sigh* I guess I was too excited about my upcoming pear, red onion, and gorgonzola tarte tatin to let it register that I had a problem ...
I'm just glad the crust came out and the cheese melted. This was my first tarte tatin, but I know the filling didn't caramelize as much as it should have.
Luckily, I'd caramelized the pears and onions in the pan, so it wasn't too crazy. I'd been wanting to make this tart ever since I realized I had a One Windmill Farms red onion I wouldn't enjoy in the raw, and a couple of Yali pears from Maya's Farm that I wanted to use up before they turned.* I wanted to make a tarte tatin because I didn't want to fuss to much with the shell--no parbaking, pricking, rolling, fluting, especially since I have only 6" tart pans, and I didn't want a bunch of little tarts. I almost just mixed up a bake-up cobbler batter, but I didn't want the filling up at the top. I worried about making a tarte tatin because I figured the filling components should be somewhat chunky to account for the longer bake time. I didn't want big chunks of onions in my tart, though. I also wasn't sure about how to add the gorgonzola so that it wouldn't burn. My solution was to caramelize the big chunks of pear in the baking pot (it was a small tart, I had only two pears, so I just used my milk pot) and caramelize the finely sliced red onion in a skillet before tucking them into the spaces around the pears.
To protect the cheese from melting directly onto the pot bottom, I sprinkled the crumbled Gorgonzola on top of the onions and pears, then topped off with the dough.
All the while, I'm preheating my oven to 450. Or, I think I am. I notice that the preheat light was on for a long time, and when I peeked into the oven to feel how hot it was ... it was cold. COLD. COLD COLD COLD. Like my heart. Like my soul. Like my icy glares. I sighed and saw my breath. COLD. I looked at my tarte tatin and saw the dough starting to weeping with me. Desparately, I tried the broiler, and it worked. Oooookaaaaay ... so I broiled my tarte tatin, keeping it covered with foil for part of the time so it wouldn't get too brown. It actually worked. Well ... the crust baked up fine, and the cheese melted, but the filling didn't caramelize nearly as much as I would've liked. Still ...
Mmmm ...
A little tang from the cheese, and teeny bit more from the onions, which were mostly sweet and even smoky, then the sweet, slightly crispy pear, and a buttery, tender, flaky crust. It was really good, and I enjoyed it so much, but there's a part of me that's nagging me to know how it would've turned out if my oven hadn't gone kaput.
Luckily, I'll be at my parents' in California for Thanksgiving, but there's not telling when Frigidaire will send people out to repair my oven. I'd had plans to bake quite a bit this weekend, including the pie-baking crafternoon with a school friend. It was a bummer to cancel it because I was excited to bake a recipe I've long wanted to try. Christmas, then! Even if I have to buy an EZ-Bake Oven (tm)! On tap for the rest of the week before my trip: Skillet meals! ;D
Broiled Tarte Tatin Recipe
Make this tart crust recipe and let the dough rest in the fridge until the next night, when you panic about leaving the tart dough in the fridge for too long instead of just freezing it.
Preheat your broken oven to 450. Bring your tart dough out to warm up a wee bit. As it does, caramelize in butter, in a 1.5 quart milk pan (since you don't own a humorously small tarte tatin skillet):
Two sliced, cored Yali pears, with a sprinkling of sugar to taste, and some salt.
Caramelize in different butter:
One thinly sliced red onion and some basil chiffonade, seasoned with a little salt.
Stuff the red onion slices into the spaces around the pear wedges, which you can attempt to arrange artfully if you're the artful type. Sprinkle between 1/8 and 1/4 of a cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese on top of the onions and pears.
Roll your dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. There will be some leftover. If your oven works, you can make a blackberry crostata! If not, stuff the leftover dough in the freezer for later use.
Tuck your dough round over your filling, trying, and maybe not succeeding, in really getting the crust to wrap around the sides of the filling. Oh well.
Glance at the oven and wonder why it's not preheated yet. Open the door and realized that it's cold. COLD COLD COLD. Panic and turn on the broiler. Set a rack to the center of the oven, and shove your tarte tatin. Break a rule and shut the oven door all the way while the broiler is on. Watch your crust brown too quickly in the first few minutes, panic, and cover it with foil. Let it alone for 15 minutes. For the last 3 or four minutes, remove the foil and let it brown a little more. Pull it out and leave to cool while you worry about how icky the tarte tatin might be. Flip it out onto a pretty plate and take a tentative taste. Enjoy. Or not, but pat yourself on the back for trying.
Hmmm. This month's "Waiter, there's something in my ... " is all about tarts. I think this works. Maybe. Or not, but pat yourself on the back for trying!
*I've been to eateries where I'd be turned off by what I saw as pretention by the inclusion of producers' names in the dish's title. Now, I see it as something to be proud of when it comes to supporting local producers. I'll admit--I wouldn't go to a restaurant and be very excited about ordering a Safeway Shipped-In Mixed Salad.

Public Market, November 17
I wasn't photo crazy at today's market, but as always, I was happy as a Manila clam (haha) to be there. So were all the many, many, many people! I love seeing who comes to the market. I've noticed that it seems to be a favorite for pregnant women. I fancy its their intuition demanding that they take the best care possible of their bodies, being attentive to every thing they put into their bodies. It's one of the primary reasons I go, anyway.
The crowd at One Windmill Farm
Plus, the market just makes me happy! I'll readily tell you--I'm a lifer. I can't imagine not getting up to go unless I'm not in town (which will be the case this Saturday while I visit my parents in California). As I was leaving, I ran into the market's director, Cindy, and she pointed out people coming in who've been coming for awhile--some since the day it started, two years ago. I hope with all my heart that this market continues to grow and thrive. Sometimes I worry, though. In a recent e-mail exchange with a fellow foodie confidante and friend, he described the hustle and bustle of Quebec's Marché Jean-Talon. After I expressed how much I enjoyed being able to talk to the vendors and learn about their produce and wares, he said he could never do that at Jean-Talon--it's so busy, the vendors barely have time to take your money. I don't know if I'd go if it were that crazy. This weekend, my mom will take me to one of the local swapmeets/farmers' markets. I'm looking forward to see what it's like. When I first went to the Phoenix Downtown Public Market, I compared it to California markets, touting their sheer hugeness and great variety. Some things, judged better by most, aren't necessarily better for me, though.
But, back to my day at the market. I made the rounds, enjoyed it, caught up with my new friend who I met at the market, and took her around, pointing out my favorite points, introducing her to a few of the vendors, and talking about food. As usual, we noticed new booths. As I was appreciating the cheese at Rainbow Valley's booth, I turned and caught even more YUM out of the corner of my eye.
Yes. I love my spicy Wei of Chocolate, both to cook with and to munch on, but today, I got to enjoy a new addition to the market, returned now that the weather's cooler. So, what's in the pretty package?
602 Chocolate
What's in the pretty package?
Let's look at the label.
Mmmmarshmallow! Soft, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth vanilla marshamallows are nice, but it's the snap of the tempered-chocolate shell that makes these awesome.
You can see the impressively thin, snappy shell. Oh, snap!

Torta and chicken golly
When people ask what my favorite comfort foods are, I often include my mom's cooking as one list item, although she cooked dozens and dozens of dishes that fall independently fall into this category.
One of my favorites of all the favorites are tortas. Mom just called them eggplant, and when we needed clarification, she'd extend: eggplant with egg. Her recipe was basically eggplant broiled to really soften it up and get the skin off, some browned ground beef, green onions, garlic, and beaten eggs. Call it an omelet, Spanish tortilla, frittata, or torta, as it's often called in the Philippines--it's all part of the same family. And just like with lumpia, every family, or even family member, has their own torta recipe. I often simplify mine to include just grated zucchini, since I love zucchini and often tend to have it on hand. It's a good dish for pantry cleaners, though, and this recipe included some basil I wanted to use up. It's quick and easy to make, and tasty hot or even at room temperature.
Torta with salad
Pour the batter
Pack the edges in if the egg bleeds out
Mom would cook tortas in her well-seasoned cast iron skillet. I once asked if she could just flip it, like on TV. Although she's small, she's also strong. She hefted the skillet, flicked her delicate wrist, and flipped it easily. We both yelled, we were so excited! I tried with the much-lighter nonstick. The first few didn't come out so well, but I finally got one to not fold up. Just shove it out, flip it into the air ...
Aaaand ... WOOT!!! I flipped it! Scream with glee!
And yeah, I eat them with ketchup. Very Filipino.
Then I pack the leftovers in tupperware. Um, I mean "American bento."
Another family favorite wasn't a dish I necessarily grew up with. It showed up at the table one day when I was in my teens. I thought it was just a pot of red, red tomato sauce, but Mom fished out some chicken wings (as in "buffalo style"). As we ate all our meals, we ate it over rice, and it was so delicious. When I asked my parents what they called it, they said, "Chicken golly!" I always laughed when I'd ask that she make it for dinner. We'd all laugh. Now, I laugh even harder when I realize that she must've seen the dish on TV, recreated it in her own style, and forgotten that it was called chicken cacciatore.
My version is simple--just start up your favorite homemade tomato sauce (I used undrained canned tomatoes), add your wings, and stew it until the chicken is cooked and the sauce is a bit thicker. I used wings because ... I like them! But you can use any chicken bits you'd like. I served it over brown rice. Mmmmm, tasty, and it reheats really well!
Sometimes, I worry that I'm embarrassing my friends when I eat my chicken served bone-in, down to the bone. In my household, we didn't waste a single edible bit. What was edible? Everything that wasn't the bone. Okay, I'm much more low-key when I'm eating out, but at home, I don't like to waste a single bit if it's still edible. It's why I enjoy my pantry cleaner meals--it's a challenge to turn the leftover ingredients into a nice dish, and it prevents waste.

How to Cook Your Life
I know I mentioned it already, but I wanted to send another thanks to Lisa from Wei of Chocolate for the movie passto How to Cook Your Life--maybe it will come your way, too!
"Is food precious? Is food worth caring about? Are you precious? Are you worth caring about?"
It's well worth seeing ...
I won't really talk about the movie because I don't want to risk ruining it for those of you planning or inspired to see it. It did, of course, make me think about the spirituality of food and cooking. Food has helped me in so many ways. Among the best ways:
1. Food and cooking made me like my mom again.
2. Food and cooking made me feel valuable.
3. Food and cooking made me feel sexy.
4. Food and cooking challenge me, both creatively and intellectually.
5. Food and cooking nourish my body and spirit.
6. Food and cooking have started many awesome conversations.
7. Food and cooking have made me many new friends, and strengthened and spiced old friendships.
8. Food and cooking give my hands, head, and heart something to do.
9. Food and cooking have helped me "give back."
10. Food and cooking have embedded my ancestors' culture into my current culture.
I think so much about food because it's had such an impact on my life. It has an impact on everyones' lives, regardless of whether or not they want to put any thought into it. One of the main ideas the movie portrays is to make your motions with intention--apply the idea to everything from baking bread to walking to just living in the day. One baking/Zen practitioner mentioned that when people asked him how he was, he'd reply, "I'm baking." It made me think of the almost out-of-body, euphoric sensation I'd have when watching someone write or create art, or when I myself would write or create art, and these days, cook. I didn't realize until I saw that scene in the documentary that those moments could possibly be related to Zen. Read more!

Sandwiches and Sweets party, featuring Opera Cake and Chocolate and Milk Caramel Tarts
Mmmm, sammiches!
Simple whole wheat bread for the November's SAS (Sandwiches and Sweets) party.
I took a picture of the spread before we dug into it: Roasted red peppers, English and lemon cucumbers, dilled cream cheese, ham, turkey, chicken, grainy mustard, mayo, provolone and colby cheeses, and grapes. Not shown: mixed greens, baby spinach, and pears.
I also made (imitation) crab salad with mustard dressing.
And of course, the sandwich (for dinner later that night): turkey, chicken, provolone, colby, roasted red pepper, spinach, mayo, mustard, on whole wheat bread. Mmmm, I love toasty sammiches ... love them ... LOVE them.
And the dessert table after the sammie fixins were cleared.
Back Story of the Dessert Table
Opera Cake
I learned how to build Opera cakes in Classical Desserts class. Paris' Dollayau pastry shop named it after the Paris Opera. Forget that Louis Clichy created the dessert in 1903. Glichy gets no love. *sigh* Traditionally, the French dessert is made with dense, thin layers of cake (usually almond, called joconde) soaked in coffee syrup, layered with coffee buttercream and ganache. At school, my ever-ambitious chef-instructor had us include layers of fresh marzipan, and every layer of cake had a layer of everything else on it. Egads! Opera cakes are usually a lot less zealous with layering. The cake must've weight 20 pounds by the time we finished making them! It tasted amazing, though--luscious, rich, and decadent.
It's sort of smooshed from being wrapped in cling wrap for transport back to my house from school.
I've wanted to revisit the Opera Cake ever since. I wanted a twist (of orange), and fewer layers. It started with the leftover orange chiffon cake from the Daring Bakers Bostini challenge.
I'm not a huge American buttercream fan, so I made Swiss meringue buttercream, flavored with cardamom. My ganache was thick, so I spread it on, instead of just pouring it. It doesn't have the traditional smooth top, but it tasted just as well, and I like the handmade touch.
The last step is to trim away the rough edges.
And serve it in thin slices. Or with just a fork and a good cup of chai tea.
I also served milk chocolate and caramel tarts, which the Daring Bakers made in August.
Hazelnut cocoa tart shells
Inset with creamy, buttery caramel
Topped with milk chocolate mousse, and garnished with toasted hazelnuts for crunch. It was supposed to be hard caramel bits, but I ran out of sugar. Yikes!

Barbie Capone – Men And Toys
Early Release: November 26, 2012
The young Hunter needed a suit for our first annual MILF ball so I called a highly recommended seamstress to take his measurements. After the pleasantries, Barbie the seamstress revealed that she was a divorced mother of twins. We invited her to our event but she refused citing that she had to work so we offered her a generous tip. Eventually we persuaded her to stay and get revenge on her ex-husband by sucking and then riding Hunter's hard cock until he blasted his jizz all over her beautiful tits.

Elders Real Estate has continued its impressive expansion with the opening of five franchises in the past month.
The new offices include Tumby Bay and Clare in South Australia, Malanda and Woombye in Queensland, and Elders Central in WA.
Elders now has 145 offices nationwide which, in the previous financial year, reportedly sold 7,500 properties for a combined total value of $13.5 billion.
The company's operations manager, Andrew Simpson, said Elders continues to receive a great deal of interest from potential franchises for both capital and regional areas.
"The idea of running your own business and utilising the strength of the Elders brand and network at the same time is very appealing to many potential business owners," Mr Simpson said.
Elders has singled out WA as one state with real promise for the group. On top of the recent opening of the Central office, it reports it has added 17 new sales across the state in the past 12 months.
The manager of its Central office in the Perth suburb of Spearwood, John Crofts, recently decided to become an Elders franchisee after 30 years in the industry.
"I took a lot of time to research different franchise groups before joining Elders," Mr Crofts said.
"Elders' continued growth and evolving technology, as well as its training and mentoring for myself and my staff, meant it were clearly the best fit for me."
Likewise, the Elders brand continues to do well in its home state of South Australia, despite the challenges of working in regional areas.
"We are strategically targeting locations in both metro and regional South Australia in a committed effort to increase our footprint," a spokesperson said.
