Sausage Broccoli Chowder Recipe
In New England we frequently have cool fall evenings that call for a dinner that warms you all over. This chowder does that. I must admit I don't care too much for the taste of broccoli, but I really like this chowder.
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 to 3 medium carrots, finely chopped
- 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- 9 ounces cheese tortellini, cooked and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 quarts half-and-half cream
- 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1. Crumble sausage into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink. Remove to paper towels to drain; set aside. In the same skillet, saute onion and mushrooms in butter until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Set aside.
- 2. In a Dutch oven, cook broccoli and carrots in chicken broth until tender. Stir in sausage and mushroom mixture. Add the soup, tortellini, pepper, basil and thyme; heat through. Stir in cream and cheese; heat through. Yield: 12-16 servings (4 quarts).

"This is an awsome soup. I have been making it for years and every time I make it for company somebody askes me for the recipe. However I do not use all half and half. I use one quart of whole milk and one quart of half and half because it gets to be a bit much. Cook it up, you'll love it. Chicago."

Midcarpal Joint
The wrist complex is a complicated structure and is mainly made up of:
- the wrist joint (radiocarpal joint)
- the midcarpal joint
The midcarpal joint allows augmentation of the movements at the wrist joint when it has reached its limit. These movements include flexion, extension, abduction and adduction of the wrist (movements that occur at both the wrist and midcarpal joint take place at the same time).
The midcarpal joint is formed by the eight carpal bones that make up the carpus. From lateral to medial, the proximal row of carpal bones is made up of the:
- scaphoid
- lunate
- triquetrum
- pisiform
From lateral to medial, the distal row is made up of the:
- trapezium
- trapezoid
- capitate
- hamate
The midcarpal joint is the articulation between the proximal row of carpal bones and the distal row of carpal bones. At the lateral portion of the joint, the scaphoid articulates with the trapezium and trapezoid. Centrally, the scaphoid and lunate articulate with the capitate. The lunate also articulates with the hamate, while the latter also articulates with the triquetrum of the proximal row.
Joint Capsule
The midcarpal joint is a series of synovial gliding joints between the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones. Like any other synovial joint, the adjacent carpal bones in the midcarpal joint are lined with hyaline cartilage and the joint cavity is encompassed in a fibrous capsule lined with synovial membrane.
The joint or synovial cavity of the midcarpal joint is large and irregular in shape and it separates the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones. It also extends out to the distal surfaces of the distal row of carpal bones to the proximal surfaces of the proximal bones, but it does not blend with the wrist joint cavity due to the intercarpal or interosseous ligaments (short ligaments that connect adjacent carpal bones).
As the carpal bones of the midcarpal joint are not held together by their shapes (such as the ball and socket joint of the hip), the joint capsule of the midcarpal joint is reinforced by several ligaments (along with the extensor and flexor retinaculum and various tendons of muscles) to stabilize the joint. Along with the intercarpal (interosseous) ligaments, there are the palmar and dorsal intercarpal ligaments and radial and ulnar collateral ligaments.
- Intercarpal ligaments: They link some adjacent carpals.
- Palmar intercarpal ligament: Anteriorly, it extends from the proximal row of the carpal bones to mainly the head of the capitate (sometimes known as the radiate capitate ligament or palmar ligament).
- Dorsal intercarpal ligament: Posteriorly, it projects from the proximal to distal row of carpal bones.
- Radial collateral ligament: A strong ligament that is a continuation of the radial collateral carpal ligament from the wrist joint that extends from the scaphoid bone to the trapezium.
- Ulnar collateral ligament: Like the radial collateral ligament, the ulnar collateral ligament is an extension. It is a prolongation of the ulnar collateral carpal ligament and it connects the hamate bone to the triquetrum.

When I was around 5 years old, my uncle, who used to own a farmhouse and a huge piece of land far away from the city, invited me along one beautiful late summer morning on a ride in his harvester to gather the crops. Because I had never actually been inside one of these things before, I was naturally fascinated and excited to learn just how that piece of heavy machinery worked.
He showed me what each lever, switch and pedal were used for and even though it felt somewhat uncomfortable sitting on top of his metal toolbox (there was no passenger seat), it didn't really bother me that much because being on board of a beast like this made me feel extremely "big" and powerful as we continued to ride into the horizon.
Kids love huge trucks
If you've got kids, you're probably already aware that almost every one of them will want to stop and take a look at how a huge machine is doing its business. Perhaps you've seen your kid stare at a dump truck as it beeps its way behind the dumpster or maybe you've seen them standing and looking at a tractor or an excavator with that deep and thoughtful look in their eyes?
Kids love these kinds of machines because when they're younger, they can't really comprehend the fact that there's a regular human being inside each and every one of these and so they genuinely believe that the machine is working on its own somehow like an intelligent being.
Speaking of which, automated machines are becoming more and more popular nowadays and there's already a completely autonomous tractor in the making so in the future when a kid looks at a dump truck, for example, it will probably be operating without a human driver. How cool is that?!
Friction powered trucks for kids
If you're looking for the perfect gift for your child this Christmas, you can't really go wrong with a construction or other type of heavy machinery kind of toy such as this friction powered truck that's for sale on Amazon at a relatively low price of just around $40 bucks.
Push and go trucks are actually nothing new
"Friction powered" is such a fancy word for a regular old toy that you push a couple of times and then let go to watch it drive on its own for a little while. I used to play with toys like this all the time when growing up, but I can say that there's definitely been some improvement in push and go toys in general.
Trucks for kids have been getting better
Over the years friction powered toys, like pretty much everything else, have been improving as more and more features are being added to make playing with toys as awesome as possible for young children.
My mother always used to tell me just how lucky I was to have a wide selection of toys available and how she had to play with wooden sticks all day long. And while it's true that I had the privilege to play with some rather fancy toys, they are still becoming more advanced as time progresses.
For one, I never had a toy that could make realistic sounds or had working headlights. These kinds of small details, while not significant for us, grown ups, will make all the difference in the world for a young kid who sees the awesome toy for the very first time. Trust me.
So if you're still not sure what to get for your kid this Christmas, perhaps a toy truck such as this is exactly what they are hoping for? Have you already asked them to send a letter to Santa Claus? ;)

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer have gone from comrades to competitors after it was announced they have both been nominated for the best actress in a comedy gong at next month's Golden Globes.
But it seems the pair, who (in a flurry of seaside Instagram posts) became firm friends over the northern summer, has developed a fun way to deal with the situation.
"We're going to try to figure out to wear the exact same thing," Lawrence (jokingly, we think) told E! News.
"That's my mission. I really want us to wear the same thing."
However, with the Hunger Games actress' Dior contract, Schumer probably won't have much of a say in their matching outfits.
"She's going to have to wear Dior," Lawrence said.
"I'm just going to have to have Dior make two of whatever they're making for me."
Lawrence has been associated with the French brand for the past three years, originally as the face of their Miss Dior fashion line, before being named the face of their Dior Addict beauty line in May 2015. She almost exclusively wears their creations on the red carpet.
The 25-year-old actress attended the 2013 and 2014 Golden Globes in Dior couture. (And, no, that doesn't mean she turned up in Valentino last year, she instead opted to stay home and watch from the couch.)
The design house was also responsible for the voluminous white ball gown which potentially played a role in Lawrence falling up the stairs while collecting her Oscar in 2013.
Schumer and Lawrence have both been nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, at the 2016 Golden Globes, to be held on January 10.
Schumer is nominated for her work in July release Trainwreck, which she also wrote, while Lawrence is nominated for her role in Joy, which hits cinemas on Boxing Day.
When it was announced that the two women would be competing for the same award last week, Schumer joked they would have to end their friendship.
"The friendship is completely over," Schumer told Entertainment Tonight. "I just blocked her number. It's over."
However, the 34-year-old comedian was quick to clarify that she was actually happy for Lawrence, sharing a picture of the two together on stage at a Billy Joel concert in August, with the caption, "Congrats to my other sis."
Lawrence and Schumer have been seeing a lot of each other recently.
The pair are currently working on a screenplay, in which they will play sisters.
Theirs has been a very quick-moving professional and personal relationship.
Lawrence told the New York Times she decided to make contact with Schumer after seeing Trainwreck.
Speaking to the publication in August, the Oscar winner said she sent Schumer an email which read: "I don't know where to get started. I guess I should just say it: I'm in love with you."
Lawrence then joined Schumer on vacation in the Hamptons over the summer break, before the pair decided to work creatively together.

Mises Wire
Follow Leonard Read's Pattern
Americans are in the midst of heated presidential nomination battles, with leading candidates competing to buy the most votes with ever-more promises to abuse liberty for one or another special interest group. Except for occasional boilerplate obeisance to freedom, none of them are proposing anything like it. It makes one wish to hear what kind of addresses a presidential candidate who was a true lover of liberty might give.
We won't hear anything of the sort from the current crop of candidates — apart from Ron Paul. However, we can read what such addresses might be like in Leonard Read's 1948 Pattern for Revolt, which followed the imagined campaign of a "true liberal" presidential candidate in that year's election.
In sharp contrast to the statist campaigns and Brobdingnagian levels of theft and invasions of rights now being promised to buy candidates' support, those addresses follow Thoreau's advice to "Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect … [as] one step toward attaining it."
Pattern for Revolt is "probably too strong for stomachs that have long fed on government pap and can't imagine how they can get along without it." But it is well worth reading for every "informed liberal who loves liberty better than power," in contrast with the many panderers who love power far better than liberty. Consider whether someone who believed the following would not command our respect more than those leading the nomination horse races.
"[T]he all-authoritarian state marches on its merry way, not only unhampered and unchecked, but aided and abetted by an ever-increasing number of gravy-trained citizens."
"The people [have] no choice except between power-seeking personalities and groups, each offering a superior administration of government-as-master. Such a choice was and still is no choice at all."
"[P]arty leaders…are asking today 'What must we say and do to win votes?' The voice of expediency…must mislead because it represents the rejection of moral principles for the hope of temporary gain…a truly liberal party…would have been asking 'How can we liberate the individual from the tyranny of the State.'"
"The mere changing of parties or personalities is not important. The transfer of power from one party to the other is important only if the ascending party has principles which it is important to substitute for the principles of the party in power."
"Choosing among numerous aspirants to office who vie with each other as sponsors of public housing, socialized medicine, the nationalization of education and a host of other socialistic items is like choosing between Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum. That is not an election in any significant sense…but only in an unimportant personality sense."
"Not only will [an] office-seeker resort to expediency to attain office, but, once in office, his very enterprise will prove a handicap to the nation…A man who seeks and secures public office…will try to make it a bigger and more powerful office. Government should not be so expanded…Men in government, therefore, should be those who aim at making government as unnecessary as possible. Contraction, not expansion, should be the aim."
"You said you wanted someone who believed in a Federal Government of limited powers, in free competitive enterprise, in freedom, generally, and in individualism. I am an ardent disciple of these tenets."
"Freedom is an assertion of man's God-given free will, a resurrection of man from deadening arbitrary authority…The principles which brought America to the greatest heights of freedom yet known on earth are easily forgotten…[but] what will our collectivistic opponents be able to do in extending their authority over the people if the people subscribe to the principle of liberty?"
"Our assignment is to cultivate an understanding of freedom—in ourselves and in others."
"In every field where arbitrary authority is imposed we shall inquire how it may be removed and replaced by a reliance on the initiative and enterprise of individual citizens. We must give to the art of self-government its American renaissance…We need patriots who will stand against wrong even though they cannot see the time when right will triumph."
"Our adversaries…seek for themselves human shepherds…They want to be led."
"As liberals and individualists, we can agree that we do not want to be led; that we do not want to 'lead' by force…The only way to guard freedom is to remove, to destroy, unwarranted restrictions and coercion."
"[T]here was a general acceptance of the idea that governments should have only limited powers and functions…Today, however…Opponents of freedom, in this country as elsewhere, have pre-empted the language of freedom so extensively that we how attempt to speak on behalf of freedom now find it difficult to convey our meaning."
"[O]ur plunderstorm economy is a matter of common knowledge…which none but the most reckless politician or public figure dares attack. All the signs point to a long and successful run for these legalized rackets…The first reason is a deep-rooted conviction on the part of millions that they have, by reason of their existence on this earth, a right to share in the property of others. The idea that this is a wholly immoral notion has never occurred to most of them."
"The result is this group-thirst for political plunder…there is no cure at all except to re-establish in the minds of people the normal boundaries of personal right. The present situation calls for an understanding of where personal rights end and infringement on the rights of others begins."
"In the hope of plundering more from others than others succeed in plundering from us, we have voted away the inestimable benefits for which government and law were originally instituted."
"We founded our government and wrote our laws on the premise that the individual citizen has certain inalienable rights and that government and law should protect those rights…While it is perfectly obvious that we should restore government and law to their proper functions, limit them as we originally intended they should be limited, it is equally obvious that this is not possible until false ideas are removed…As long as people entertain these false ideas about rights and property, so long will they seek their fulfillment though government and the law…The choice is only one of going on with the filthy business or getting out of it entirely."
"In a variety of ways this nation has legalized plunder…as we seek prosperity by the fruitless process of picking each others' pockets."
"Coercion is my first objection…No man has ever lived who has been big enough or competent enough to apply it, justly and wisely, to any responsible adult person, arbitrarily…Tyranny is only arbitrary coercion carried to its logical consequence."
"Using governmental coercion to protect your goods from a thief is proper. Using it to protect a thief in the taking of your goods is improper. It makes no difference whether the thief be a thug or a legally recognized pressure group, using the democratic process."
"Given freedom of opportunity, protection from fraud, violence and predation and a dependence for our welfare on our own initiative, we can and will look out for ourselves better than will any other person or any government agency."
"[Government failure arose from] their guarantee to meet 'human needs' and their inability to meet the ever-growing demands and impossible responsibilities to which they thus exposed themselves."
"The real reasons for most of the present and recent distress inhere in the suppressions of liberty, in the sabotaging, wittingly or unwittingly, of the free competitive economy, which alone produces general prosperity. Re-establishing a free economy is the only road to progress…Free enterprise can be re-established only by the repeal of those laws, rules and regulations which impede it. I stand for their destruction."
"I am a spokesman for the philosophy of government which is an American heritage… Nowhere else have men so successfully escaped from arbitrary authority…This American philosophy of government is premised on our countrymen being free men. This is what our birth as human beings gives us a right to be; that is what we ought to be; it is the object to which our Constitution commits us—all of us."
"I do not desire to reorganize the lives of other people under the pretext of doing them good…turn your hopes from this place on the Potomac as a source of livelihood. It is the most unproductive spot in these United States…May your Federal Government no longer be condemned for what it plunders from some. And may it never have applause because of the loot it bestows on others."
In a day-and-night contrast with the daily cacophony of presidential candidates promising to violate moral principles and other people's property on an indescribable scale, Leonard Read recognized that "Nothing is in our nation's capital except that which is taken from individuals."
That is why his Pattern for Revolt, though written almost four decades ago, is both a bracing reminder of what has been lost and a motivator to reclaim it. It merits attention from anyone who, "If given the opportunity … would revolt against all of those political devices and ideas incidental to government in the role of master."
And there is no better time than when the price of lost liberty is large and candidates vie for who can most rapidly inflate that price, because the benefits that would come from restoring liberty are also greater.

Pitch Fever: a conversation with VC leaders on their portfolio start-ups
Join us at the KPMG Digital Village on Tuesday, November 15, for a conversation with VC leaders and their prime portfolio start-ups covering emerging logistics, healthcare and finance technologies.
There is a general challenge of sourcing later stage funding for Series B and beyond. It is therefore important for VCs to assist their portfolio companies and explore all potential funding sources – equity and/or debt – in developing their funding strategies. Instead of start-ups pitching to VCs, our event will turn the tables on VCs – getting them to pitch their portfolio start-ups to investors – with the aim of addressing funding challenges in today's ecosystem.
This will be a great opportunity for VCs to share their perspectives and explore partnerships with corporate and PE investors.
This event is open to Festival conference delegates only – register through the ticketing platform now!

Businesses who have multiple sites and offices can now share information between each site and create a "virtual LAN" by incorporating multiple VPN connections using multiple DSL line.
Businesses with multiple sites and offices
Usually, with VPN connections, the head office sends and receives the most traffic as the other sites all require a connection to the main systems and applications which run from there. The large amounts of data transferred in and out can be over the capacity of a single ADSL line.
What would happen if you lost your Internet Connection?
If your company relies heavily on Internet connectivity and would suffer greatly as a result of the Internet connection being lost then you should consider a solution with automatic fail-over and fail-back.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2013 (1463 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Restructuring the Bombers
As a 40-year Blue Bomber season-ticket holder, I thank you for your Aug. 17 editorial, Give fans a stake in Bombers, and for Bartley Kives' Aug. 18 Sunday Xtra column (Community-owned? Punt that idea). It is refreshing to read your insightful comments.
The problems plaguing the club have been patently obvious for some time. The ongoing changes of coaches and players have resulted in little success and nothing sustainable. The revolving door has to end. It is time to stop expecting better outcomes by repeating the same pattern. It is time to finally evaluate the off-field aspects of the organization.
The situation requires restructuring, starting with the board of directors in particular. It is time to put the underpinnings of board governance in place. Clear requirements and a transparent process leading to the appointment or election of board members are crucial, as are ongoing board training and defined limits on serving as a board member.
Finally, it is time to clarify role responsibilities. There can be only one CEO, not several.
Your Aug. 17 editorial provides an enlightened view to the future of a vibrant Winnipeg Football Club. Every Manitoban has a stake in the future of the Bombers.
It should start with an initiative to redefine the structure of the board, drawing on the various models your editorial provides. The current model does not fit today's context.
The board should be prepared to dedicate resources to governance and make a long-term investment that will result in a more accountable and engaged stakeholders who can direct their efforts in support of an institution that is an important part of our social fabric. Good teams start with effective governance.
I think that the Saskatchewan model is certainly one that should be examined.
As with Red River Co-op or any credit union, the Bombers should offer memberships that bring with it both responsibility and reward. Those who choose to be members will elect their representatives on the board.
Because of the financial commitment made to the club by the city and province, they could continue to appoint a representative. The elected board members would be accountable to the membership of the club. This would certainly be a more democratic version of this community-owned club than the current crew piloting this foundering ship.
How many quarterbacks does it take to lose a CFL game? One? Nope. Two? Nope. Three? Yep.
Maybe the Bombers should adopt a major-league baseball strategy and have a dozen replacements in the bullpen in case the guy on the field bombs.
The bad news is that the Bombers lost again. The good news is that Booster Juice sales are up 20 per cent.
Look who's dangerous
It seems our prime minister has made time this summer to call NDP and Liberal ideas "dangerous." (Partisan speech from PM in North, Aug. 19). I wish he had time to explain the senators' misspending, which has caused so much trouble and cost to taxpayers.
Let's put hype where it belongs and start a new summer pastime of accountability.
Unconscionable decision
Re: Rent hikes loom for thousands (Aug. 16). With so many families in critical housing need, it is unconscionable and economically short-sighted that funding is being cut for housing programs. If anything, federal investment in social housing should increase.
Ottawa needs to step up and do its share rather than offload its responsibilities to other levels of government.
Keep traffic flowing
I disagree with Steve LaFleur's Aug. 12 column, Barriers to more than feet. We do not have high-speed traffic arteries through the city as other large cities do.
In the 1970s, 40 per cent of traffic going from one end of the city to the other moved through Portage and Main. It is my guess this is the same today. I believe it is better to have pedestrians cross the street underground than to slow traffic even more.
Eye exams pay off
I greatly appreciate Dr. Elizabeth Lee Ford-Jones' Aug. 15 column, A vision for eye tests.
As a certified reading clinician, I frequently have schools and parents refer their child to me for academic difficulties when the problem has been with the child's vision.
When I began teaching, there was standard routine vision testing or eye-exam programs for school-age children and youth. Now many students, both young and older, as well as new Canadians are falling through the cracks.
Not only do vision problems make it difficult to learn to read, they can also contribute to academic, social, behaviour and motor difficulties. Comprehensive eye testing needs to be part of our school system. Those few minutes to check can make a huge difference.

The Essential Library for Irish Americans
Designer: book-fiction-store
Add a note to encourage purchase
Morgan Llywelyn, aside from being one of the great writers of novels about the romance and adventure of Irish history, is a lover of all things Irish, well read in Irish fact and fiction. Now she gives generously of her love and knowledge in a list of books recommended heartily and wittily. More than simply a list, The Essential Library for Irish Americans is an education in the Irishness of Ireland. Here at last is an instructive, opinionated, annotated list of books for anyone in America who is Irish or Irish at heart.
Chosen for their accuracy and their pleasures, these books are described in clear, concise language that is in itself a pleasure. Ms. Llywelyn does not summarize the contents, but rather tells of the experiences that are in store for readers of each individual book. Arranged in broad categories, such as biography and autobiography, history, poetry, and fiction, her beguiling commentary and the books she recommends promise hours of delight for anyone willing to open his heart to the Irish American experience.

Audi Sets Record Profit of 2.5 Billion Euros In 2011
The year's only half-over, but Audi is already popping champagne: they've just set a company record of 2.5 billion Euros ($3.59 billion) in operating profits.
That's 652,970 cars moved since January 2011, or 100,000 more than the entire year of 2010. Audi has touted their impressive record-breaking sales figures before, but attaching the word "billion" to it gives it somewhat more resonance. Operating profit increased by a cool billion and change from 2010 to this year, and overall revenue for the first half of 2011 is 21.5 billion, with all the decimals in the right places.
"This success is the result of the significant rise in deliveries, an improved model mix and our continual cost optimization measures," said Axel Strotbek, an Audi board member.
Audi is banking on the long-wheelbase A6 (popular in Asian markets) and the next Q3 and A6 Avant to sustain their growth.

ODU Boom & Tackk Event
A couple weeks ago Tackk.com and Boommovement.com hosted a campus wide competition to promote both companies and encourage students at Old Dominion University to become more involved with Tackk. The contest was rather simple, and the prizes were well worth the effort to enter. Students at ODU were required to create a Tackk.com profile (either at home or with me) and then Tackk about ODU in someway.
I teamed up with the ODU Boom campus representative by providing products from both our companies and setting up a live table on campus. The table was stationed right outside our main university building. This area contains the most traffic from students and was a prime opportunity to talk to people walking to class and those who were merely relaxing on the warm Friday. I had a computer and an Ipad set up with examples of different types of Tackks that people could observe and toy with. Throughout the two hours I was outside, I talked to many different people and showed them what Tackk was all about and how it could relate to their personal life. Majority of the people I talked to were very interested and showed signs of future interest.
This was an awesome step for Tackk on the ODU campus and I am looking forward to making the next Tackk event even better than before!
Boom/Tackk Winners
1st place - goes to user "tackkandboombaby" for creating an impressive and intricate tackk. This tackk was chosen primarily because of the amount of effort that he/she put into creating it. There are several graphs containing information about the local ODU community. He/she also implemented many different functions available when creating a Tackk . Congrats!
2nd place - goes to "MikeNDales" for the simplicity and creativity of his tackk. This tackk not only promoted an ODU event, but it also promoted the users art. He combined the two in a simple format to capture the essence of tackk and how simple it can be used to portray bigger messages. Good job

Chocolate-Caramel Pecan Clusters
Sweet, chewy and crunchy, all at the same time -- these bite-size treats go perfectly with a cup of coffee after a meal.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes 1 dozen
Photography: Sang An
Source: Martha Stewart Living, March 2004
- 1 cup pecan halves (3 1/4 ounces)
- 12 soft caramel-candy cubes
- 1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into 12 pieces (1/2 inch each)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven (leave oven on); set aside 36 pecans on baking sheet. Finely chop remaining pecans (for about 1/4 cup); set aside.
When pecans are cool enough to handle, make 12 clusters by arranging 2 pecans vertically, side by side, below 1 pecan placed horizontally. Gently flatten each caramel; place 1 on top of each cluster. Bake clusters 5 minutes. Remove from oven (leave oven on).
Place 1 piece of chocolate on top of each cluster. Return to oven; bake until chocolate begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven. With the back of a spoon, gently spread chocolate over caramel without completely covering it.
Sprinkle clusters with reserved chopped pecans. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Bring to room temperature before serving.

cnfortney21 DEC, 2012I agree, the caramel was way to hard to eat, and the pecans were fairly dry. Not a good recipe!Reply
Thelmalouise20 DEC, 2010When following the directions as written the clusters turned out perfect for us. We will be making more and many have already enjoyed the holiday treat. I love when a recipe really works like the recipe says it will. Thanks to you all for this keeper!!!!!Reply

On a mountain in Wyoming, the eclipse brings wonder — and, hopefully, answers
View the video
CASPER MOUNTAIN, Wyo. — It's nothing like a sunset. It's cold and dark, but it's not like nighttime, or even twilight. The moon just snaps into place over the last slivers of the sun, turning the sun into a dark hole. The only illumination — a flat, ghostly, metallic sort of light — is from peaked gossamer streamers stretching out toward the edges of the sky.
Does the corona look different when solar activity is high versus when it's low?
Some cities have all the luck.
Carbondale, Ill., is just a few kilometers north of the point where this year's total solar eclipse will linger longest — the city will get two minutes and 38 seconds of total darkness when the moon blocks out the sun. And it's the only city in the United States that will also be in the path of totality when the next total solar eclipse crosses North...

Where does the solar wind come from? The eclipse may offer answers
The sun can't keep its hands to itself. A constant flow of charged particles streams away from the sun at hundreds of kilometers per second, battering vulnerable planets in its path.

Valenzuela steals it atop Adoration
ARCADIA, Calif. - Patrick Valenzuela was wearing the dark blue silks of owners John and Jerry Amerman in Saturday's , but he forgot to add a ski mask. Valenzuela made like a bank robber, stealing the $2 million Distaff aboard Adoration with a front-running upset to begin the 20th Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships at Santa Anita.
Adoration was sent off the longest shot in the seven-horse field at 40-1, and it was apparent the other riders dismissed her as cavalierly as the fans. Adoration set an extremely comfortable pace of 23.28 seconds and 47.08 for the first half-mile, then blew the race open on the turn, when she threw a 24.02-second third quarter at her rivals. She continued to pour it on in the stretch, winning by a stunning 4 1/2 lengths. She completed 1 1/8 miles on a fast main track in 1:49.17.
Adoration ($83.40) was the third-longest shot to win the Distaff, topped only by Spain ($111.80) in 2000, and One Dreamer ($96.20) in 1994.
Elloluv, who chased Adoration from second the entire race, finished second, 2 1/2 lengths clear of third-place Got Koko, who raced wide throughout. Sightseek, sent off as the 3-5 favorite, was fourth, and was followed, in order, by Buy the Sport, Take Charge Lady, and Lady Tak.
Sightseek was never a threat. Because she did not attack the leaders on her own, jockey Jerry Bailey was forced to start asking her midway down the backstretch.
"I never had a confident feeling," Bailey said.
Had Sightseek won, she likely would have secured the Eclipse Award as champion older filly or mare. Her loss, coupled with the upset by Adoration, might very well swing voters back to Azeri, the 2002 Horse of the Year, who missed this race with a tendon injury and is likely to be retired.
Valenzuela was winning his seventh Breeders' Cup race, but this was his first since 1992. His career has been pockmarked by substance abuse and other personal issues, but he has stayed on the straight and narrow since his most recent return, nearly two years ago.
"I'm just a very blessed individual, as you know," said Valenzuela, who has become devoutly religious. "I thank the Lord, Jesus Christ."
Adoration most recently had crossed the wire fourth, behind Got Koko, Elloluv, and Azeri, in the Lady's Secret Breeders' Cup Handicap four weeks earlier. She was placed third in that race, because Elloluv was disqualified for causing interference in deep stretch. Adoration wore blinkers that day, but her trainer, David Hofmans, removed them for the Distaff.
"Having the blinkers on makes her too crazy," Hofmans said. "I thought that we would be on the lead, and I wanted to be on a comfortable lead."
Hofmans won his second Breeders' Cup race. His first was an upset as well. His horse Alphabet Soup beat two-time Horse of the Year Cigar in the 1996 Classic.
Adoration had won just once in three starts this year. She had never before won a Grade 1 race. Her biggest previous victory came in last year's Grade 2 Hollywood Breeders' Cup Oaks.
Now age 4, Adoration has won five times in 14 starts. The Amermans purchased Adoration, a daughter of Honor Grades, privately after she made her first two starts, but Hofmans has trained her throughout her career. The purchase was arranged by bloodstock agent Bob Feld. John Amerman is the former chairman and chief executive officer of the toy company Mattel Inc.

If you didn't get enough Naomi Watts earlier today with pics from "Diana" and "The Impossible," well there is even more to fill your appetite, as the Sundance Film Festival will bring another pic from the Aussie actress.
Watts is teaming with Robin Wright for "Two Mothers" — previously known as "The Grandmothers" — a steamy drama from screenwriter Christohper Hampton ("A Dangerous Method") and director Anne Fontaine ("Coco Before Chanel"). Here's the official synopsis: This gripping tale of love, lust and the power of friendship charts the unconventional and passionate affairs of two lifelong friends who fall in love with each other's sons.

Internet used as a tool to bring religion closer
Visitors can also find all the latest news on the preparations leading up to World Youth Day in August of 2011 as well as links to its presence elsewhere on the internet like on youtube and facebook. Though at the moment the page is only available in Spanish, soon it will be featured in eight other languages including Arabic, Chinese and Russian.More and more, Catholic institutions are using the internet to talk about God. To study the challenges and perspectives that come with the internet, the European Bishops Media Commission has organized a symposium on the presence of the Church on the world wide web.Mons. Jean-Michel di Falco LeandriPresident, CEEM"The relationship between the Church and the internet is very important. Instead of ignoring or criticizing negatively, this meeting enriches the dialogue."The organization considers the internet an essential tool because it's difficult to get to certain audiences, like young people, without the internet. That's why the group highlights that there is still much work to be done in order to consolidate the voice of the Church on the web.Mons. Jean-Michel di Falco LeandriPresident, CEEM"I think the internet is shaping our culture and it's creating a new language, a particular language that's used by young people. This means that if we want to be present and be heard, we have to dominate it."Many experts have applauded the move by the European bishops. However, they say that for religious websites to be credible they have to have the same level of quality as sites of larger important organizations.Rev. John WauckProfessor, Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (Rome)"He has to know the doctrine of the Church, the reality of the Church, the life of the Church, the stories that make the Church come a crash to ; the media but also he has to know how speak to the media".Paul TigheSecretary, Pontifical Council for Social Communications"Priest is a good communicator when he speaks but also he knows to listen and he knows how to encourage other people to speak".Daniel ArasaProfessor, Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (Rome)"I think it's important, as it's been suggested before, for Episcopal conferences, dioceses and the Church's institutions and organizations in general to form their own people from within the organization. This means sending them to formation centers."To help priests, the Vatican has supported the "Picture Project," a study that will help better understand how priests use the web to put forth ways to improve the Church's presence online.

I'm starting with the man in the mirror.
I'm asking him to change his ways.
And no message could have been any clearer:
If you wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change."
– Michael Jackson,
Man in the Mirror
Given the chance to vent, Chronicle readers recently gave the Augusta Commission the worst reviews imaginable.
Just resign and put us out of our misery, many said – and in many cases, they said it of the whole 10-member body.
We certainly understand the sentiment. The commission's dysfunctionality and decorum have the community plainly disgusted. Too often they treat people who come before them, including city employees, like lowly serfs.
They seem never to look at themselves in the mirror, either. While degrading others for their work performance, the commission can't seem to make a coherent decision on the city golf course or the bus service, to name two prickly issues.
But others need to look in the mirror too. Weren't these 10 folks elected at some point by the voters?
If our elected officials are so beyond rehabilitation that they need to resign, what does that say about the people who put them there?
Are voters really making such bad decisions? If so, how? Are they getting bad information on the candidates? Or any information at all? What are they basing their votes on? The familiarity of names? Write-ups in the paper? Political endorsements?
Voting rates are abysmal in local races nationwide. What sense does it make for so many not to be voting and then to
lament the quality of officeholders?
Don't free peoples ultimately get the kind of leaders we deserve?
In truth, this page finds it hard to believe our leaders are beyond hope. We wrote Sept. 1 that commissioners ought to consider bringing in a team-building leadership consultant; it's nothing that highly successful businesses don't do.
But personality clashes and indecorous behavior isn't all that's plaguing the Augusta Commission.
They're also victims of a clunker of a government. It was set up under city-county consolidation in the 1990s to be maddeningly inefficient, with an even-number 10 commissioners and a six-vote majority required to pass anything, no matter how many members are present and voting. They're elected from districts designed to produce five white and five black commissioners, lest either race gain an advantage. Presiding is a mayor with few actual powers. Looking on is a city administrator with 11 political bosses and no power to fire and hire department heads.
Other than that, it's great!
Then you add in the extra toxic ingredient of race. While most Augustans get along fine, the commission chambers seems to be where past racial grievances backflow. Despite the clunky attempt to forestall it, there appears to be a lingering suspicion that one race might try to hoodwink the other, and vice versa.
None of these things is likely to change by merely tossing the current commissioners out on their stumps. Real change is needed, and not just in the form of city government; we're talking about the kind that starts with each individual.
A deeply spiritual friend reminded us recently that Jesus once asked a sick man if he even wanted to be healed.
Perhaps we should ask that of Augusta – and the person in the mirror.

Hike the Old Misery Trail to Cat Rock
Rate this Adventure Maryland › Old Misery Trail Head
Added by Alyssa Ramirez
Moderately challenging uphill hike through a forest ending at a big rock formation.
The best place to park is on Catoctin Hollow Road in the parking lot that's on the same side of the road as the lake. It's not a huge lot but we were here mid-summer around 10am and found a spot easily. The trail head is on the other side of the street from this parking lot; there is a sign letting you know you're at 'Old Misery Trail.' The name sounds funny until you start climbing the switchbacks and then it starts to make sense.
Like I said, we were there in the middle of the summer in the middle of the day, however we didn't see that many other people on this trail. We passed maybe 10-15 others, and a few had their dogs. The trail is mostly through the woods and is rocky in several places. It's not incredibly well-marked but it's well-worn enough that it's pretty easy to follow. You'll climb up switchbacks for awhile and then eventually reach a more flat area in the woods. Eventually you'll reach the end of Old Misery Trail, and then you'll make a right to continue to Cat Rock (now you're on the Cat Rock Trail). You'll walk about 0.3 miles further after making the turn and then you'll come to a fork - Bear left to go to Cat Rock, which is just a little further.
Cat Rock is a large rock formation that you can climb up. The climb is not easy and requires some pulling yourself up and crawling over rocks, however I'm not an experienced rock climber in the slightest (nor do I have any upper body strength) and I made it up there (with a little help from my boyfriend). The top of Cat Rock is the only part of this hike where you get some nice views of the surrounding mountains. It's also a good spot to sit and have your lunch, although be careful not to topple off the rocks.
The only time where we got a little lost was when we came back down Cat Rock and accidentally walked the wrong way trying to get back to the trail, so just make sure you remember which way you came in when you first get there so you can find your way back out again.
Total time: 3 hours, with about 30 minutes spent eating lunch on Cat Rock
Total distance: ~4.5 miles

How to Use Parts of a Broken Phone for Survival (Infographic)
I like to post infographics from time to time on this site, especially when I find a really good and useful one. This might be one of the coolest and most useful infographics I've come across yet, however. What is the one thing that most modern humans will have on their person when stranded in a survival situation? A cell phone. We rely on our phones so much these days, but once they break, they're essentially useless to us. …Or are they? This awesome infographic from KnowledgeWeighsNothing.com gives a visual for the different parts of a cell phone, as well […]Read more »

The Collision brought such a variety of cities, countries, and other spots together, though during the change, many disappeared. What has been recently mapped out is the basis to our World of Nexus. People may find a few places not only welcoming, but familiar; others may long for the home that may have disappeared. They shall learn to adapt. And you, now, shall learn of the hubs of social life listed below by their brief descriptions.
New The light blue lines you see connecting some continents, are called transits. If not accustomed to, or flying is not preferred, one can just use the transits to cross continents with ease. Usually transits are much more efficient, and faster than ships.
*note these should be where most of your settings for rps occur, though any other smaller places within them are of course, obvious and usable(such as the Seventh Heaven in Midgar). However, any other large suggestions should be e-mailed to be via firstname.lastname@example.com
Eastern Gaia (FFVII)
=> Midgar a history once told of this bustling city, held together by Mako, though also destroyed of it. However, just as the Collision has brought more than few lives back, the springs of Lifestream clung together during this confusion, binding Midgar together once more. The sectors are still thriving as well, and a few places that people may have wished to forget-- such as the Honey Bee Inn, and Don Corneo's mansion.
=> Gold Saucer if this amusement park shaped like a gigantic chocobo had not survived, many people would not find place for joy. Whether lodging for a weekend, or just visiting for a day, there's no way you can leave Gold Saucer without a lighter mood and purse.
=> Wutai popular by it's large pagodas and sculpted mountains, Wutai is a lovely nesting place for the solemn and purveyor of Asian culture. Wutai is one of the most known islands that has survived during the Collision.
=> Northern Crater perhaps inhabitants of old Eastern Gaia believe this place to be too horrid and forbidden to ever look upon again…however, it's mystery and vastness attracts newcomers who have never heard of the calamity that collided with this earth--and the cults that pilgrimage there.
Western Gaia (FFIX)
=> Burmecia long has this once righteous city (settled by holy knights and priests of the Burmecian race) been known for it's immense towers and sturdy cathedrals, for, even the old West Gaian's remember Burmecia only as "The City of Eternal Rain." This city still sleeps, as the eternal, natural showers pound down upon the ruins.
=> Chocobo's Paradise little is still know of this place, only because it was never truly a part of Western Gaia to begin with. Rather, it floats above and near the continent, and all of the world's chocobo's secretly long and 'wark'-- to eat their fill and prance upon it's grasslands and waters.
=> Evil Forest once and entanglement of trees that bound most of the continent together, after the events of Old W.G, the forest is a memory encased in stone, and the moonlight still emanates it's mystery.
=> Black Mage Village the village is home to several self-aware black mages, living their lives in hiding. They live so deep in the forest that the owls do not live there. It is protected by a magical mirage wall.
Spira (FFX, X-2)
=> Luca original Spirians may believe this is their only place to forget what has happened, and focus upon the entertainment that remains in the hub of Luca-- that of course, being the almost now, daily Blitzball games. Other Continents are somewhat shyly(but freely) welcomed to try their luck against the aged teams still residing within the Continent of Spira.
=> Macalania Forest a scintillating, breathtaking forest encased glimmering sparkles of light, each creature drawn to it's trees and dreamy ponds by it's blue trees and flowers. The silence never creeps upon humans; a lonely hymn still whispers and sings upon the azure branches.
=> Farplane the final resting place of the creatures and humans of Spira now hosts every 'sent' being from all seven continents…brilliant is the rainbow canvas of flowers painting it's floors, and majestic are the rushing waterfalls cascading from the Farplane's every corner….but vast it may seem…small is it compared to the guests of dead now falling upon it. So many that the gateway to the living has been opened, and the dead are granted to walk freely among them.
=> Bikanel Desert the location of the Al Bhed's home until it was attacked by the Guado. However, the majority of these people believe that this island can still be there homeland, and they strive to construct another city amongst it's machina-rubble and sand.
Ivalice (FFXII)
=> Rabanastre now unrestrained by the stress of both the impending Archadian and Rosarian Empires, Rabanastre, which has always been known as the central and Royal city of Dalmasca, homes all of the various races of Ivalice.
=> Eruyt Village once race-- The perpetuating and earthily righteous Viera still dwell within this forest-like Village. Those who wish to leave are known as exiles, and no longer hear the Green Word. Those who stay flourish either as White Mages, or Archers-- though they bind with the spirit of nature, and live within the village forever.
=> Bhujerba always known as the "Sky City," Bhujerba now houses each and every one of Nexus's airships. It is no use explaining why the pilots and mechanics are especially fond of this enormous port nowadays, especially when one understands that not only is the basic transportation between the continents found here, but there are annual ship races that begin and finish in Bhujerba's docks.
=> Nalbina Dungeons perhaps one of the most dangerous places within all of Nexus, if only for the fact that this is the only area that remains a prison for traitors that have been captured. Of course, there are many that shall never be caught….but the ruffians who live here live only for one thing…to fend for themselves.
Era (FFVI)
=> Kefka's Tower a twisted, serpentine spiral juts from the earth, and diseases the land around it, creating Kefka's Tower. Defeated as this demented foe been, however, now with the news of escaping souls, there is no telling what he shall do when he finds his 'home' has not been destroyed.
=> Opera House it is a wonder that this ancient opera house survived, when the other towns of Era did not. Yet still it stands, and still the original inhabitants of Era claim to it's once famous actors and glory, and attempt to maintain the beauty and entertainment of the stage.
=> Phantom Forest it is no wonder why the ghosts and ghouls of Phantom Forest welcome with open arms the dead that now come in flocks from the Farplane-- somehow, their souls long to live in this place…for it is the only shelter where they fit in. Splendid and cozy is the forest to the dead…but hostile and suicidal is the forest to the living.
Planet R (FFV)
=> Pirate's Cave the most savage and drunk pirates still reside inside this musky harbor, where pirates finally meet up to brag and trade their plunder and booty.
=> Moogle Village the only place where any mog can feel at home during the aftermath of the Collision-- Mognet Central in former Western Gaia has been recreated here as well, and these friendly, furry creatures are always willing to lend a pom-pom to aid you.
Southwestern Continent (FFVIII)
=> Deling City Capital of the Republic of Galbadia and named after President Vinzer Deling. Deling City is the largest and most technologically advanced population center outside of Esthar, and during the nighttime hours, newcomers and residents may revel in the delights of music, gambling, and shopping along the streets. The city has a relaxed, slightly decadent atmosphere, with several examples of architectural beauty. One of these is the triumphal arch at Deling Plaza, located at the centre of the city, the scene of the failed assassination attempt on Sorceress Edea.
=> Balamb Garden the former military academy for SEEDS now upholds a more…elementary approach to schooling, as it is now a children's academy for learning. There is no need for the SEED Army any longer, and any child, Seeq, Hume, or Moogle, has the privilege to learn here, with the assistance of the Balamb tutors.
=> Esthar The capital metropolis of the technologically advanced and isolationist country of the same name. At the end of the first Sorceress War, the people of Esthar withdrew from world affairs. They used their advanced technology to erect an immense dome over the entire city, rendering it completely invisible to the outside. Esthar's technology has also led to the creation of the transportation of very high speeds throughout the city and three levels of roads (including the monster-infested highway at the top).
=> Cactaur Island It is a barren place, only inhabited by Cactaurs.

The Atlanta Braves enter the 2004 playoffs having won 13 consecutive division titles, an accomplishment unprecedented in any professional sport.
But that accomplishment begs a question: Do you consider the Braves a success because of their regular-season dominance or a failure because of their postseason futility?
The anecdotal evidence indicates that many fans today see Atlanta as nothing more than a fall flop -- the baseball equivalent of the Buffalo Bills, who lost four straight Super Bowls from 1991-94.
The exception for the Braves was 1995, when they won their lone World Series during this remarkable run from 1991-2004 (not counting '94, the year of the baseball strike).
Yes, it's impressive when teams (and players) perform with distinction on a postseason stage. After all, Reggie Jackson became known as Mr. October for a reason.
Still, what's more impressive -- winning a marathon or winning a sprint? Isn't it more impressive -- or at least equally impressive -- when a team succeeds over the long haul?
In light of this, let's assess the Braves of the past decade-plus. To distill the preceding questions: Should the Braves be applauded for their regular-season success or criticized for their postseason failures? We asked three of our baseball analysts to weigh in, and here's what they said:
Joe Morgan
It's both. Applaud the Braves for winning 13 consecutive division titles, but you have to criticize them for not winning more championships. That's the good and the bad of it. The good is that they've won consistently in the regular season, but the bad is that they haven't won consistently in the postseason.
In sports, championships count the most. Three straight World Series, which is what the Yankees accomplished from 1998-2000, is more impressive to me than 13 straight division titles.
You can't discount 13 straight, though, because that's a long time. We're always looking for longevity in sports. But you don't play for division championships, you play for world championships.
I bet Bobby Cox would trade four of those division titles for four World Series. Everybody would. Winning the World Series is what it's all about.
Tom Candiotti
Comparing the Braves to the Buffalo Bills isn't a fair assessment. When you win 13 straight division titles, that's amazing -- think about the change in personnel over that time. To sustain that excellence for 162 games, year after year, is incredible.
For so long, the Braves were a pitching-dominated team (led by John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and Steve Avery). When you thought of the Braves, their starting pitchers were the identity of the team. I've always said that the teams that win in the playoffs have the best starting pitching and the best back of the bullpen.
Now the landscape of the Braves has changed. Now, they have decent pitching but they're more of an offensive club. Tip your hat to GM John Schuerholz. It was hard to let go of Glavine and Maddux, but he made the needed changes and the Braves are still winning.
Amazing stuff, what this front office has done. It's awesome to go out and do that without missing a beat for 13 years running.
Having said that, winning consecutive World Series is more impressive -- because that's what you play for. That's the reason you play. Take the Yankees from 1949-53 -- they won five straight World Series. In those days, there were no divisions in each league, just an American and National League, with eight teams in each league. So to get to the World Series was still tough then, and to win five in a row -- that's much more impressive, because you've reached the finish line.
The Braves have gotten to the dance but haven't crossed the finish line as much as they would like. Thirteen straight division titles is impressive, but five straight World Series is phenomenal.
Tony Gwynn
As a player, I would take winning four or five straight World Series over 13 straight division titles. The object is to win the World Series.
But there's no question that the Braves should be considered a success. Their roster hasn't been the same and they've won with different players. When you win your division 13 straight times, how is that not a success?
It's a testament to the Atlanta organization and the way they do business -- their scouting and the things they believe in. Other organizations might not admit it, but lots of organizations are trying to pattern themselves after the Braves. Every franchise would love to say, "Hey, we've won our division 13 straight times." That's quite an achievement.
Of course, when you say you've won the division 13 straight, the next question will be, how many World Series did you win? Unfortunately for the Braves, the answer is one. But you've got to get there to have an opportunity.
This year, they've been particularly impressive because no one expected them to win. Everybody thought they'd be middle-of-the-pack. But John Schuerholz and Bobby Cox made some shrewd moves, and the players have performed again.
To me, consistency has always been the name of the game. So even though they've gone to the playoffs and won the World Series only once, that shouldn't to be considered a failure. It's still a success, as far as I'm concerned.
You just don't know how hard it is to consistently win during the course of a 162-game schedule, and to win the division for 13 straight years is quite remarkable.
Obviously, the goal is to win the World Series. But some years, you have a good club and you make the playoffs -- maybe you win your division by 15 games -- but it's still tough to win the World Series. It's unfortunate for the Braves, because as many times as they've gone to the postseason, people expect you to win more than one. But that doesn't take anything away from the success the organization has had.
When the Yankees won five straight from 1949-53, the road was easier -- you won your league and went straight to the Series. It was a two-team playoff. In today's playoff format, you have a 1-in-8 chance of winning the Series (and the best-of-five is the toughest round).
Again, winning all those division titles means you've had 13 straight years of having the opportunity. The Braves have another opportunity this year, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they won another World Series.

This moist banana bread recipe helps put overripe bananas, that would otherwise be destined for the garbage, to good use, making it a great recipe for anyone who likes to be frugal.
The key to good quick breads is not overmixing the batter. Once the liquid ingredients are added to the dry, mix the batter by hand just until the flour is moistened, for no more than about ten seconds. Too much mixing can cause the final product to be dry, tough or misshapen.
For a slightly more decadent banana bread recipe, try this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.
What You'll Need
- 1 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
- 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 large bananas (very ripe)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Thoroughly grease and flour a 9" × 5" × 3" baking pan (or use a nonstick baking pan or a flexible silicone pan).
- Spread the walnuts out on a flat baking pan or sheet pan and roast them in the oven for 5-6 minutes. Midway through, toss them around on the pan so that the tops and bottoms brown evenly. When they're done, remove the pan from the oven and then remove the toasted nuts from the hot pan and set them aside to cool.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
- IMPORTANT: Make sure the walnuts are thoroughly cooled before adding them to the dry ingredients, as the heat would activate the baking powder too early.
- Unwrap the butter and heat it in the microwave, in a microwave-safe bowl, for about a minute, until it's thoroughly melted. Set it aside at room temperature to cool, but don't let it solidify again.
- Peel the bananas. Using a potato masher, mash the bananas in a separate mixing bowl.
- Add the vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add the beaten egg to the banana-vanilla mixture.
- Pour a tiny bit of the melted butter into the egg-banana-vanilla mixture and stir it in. Repeat 3-4 more times, adding a slightly larger amount of the liquid butter each time until it is all incorporated.
- IMPORTANT: Don't add hot melted butter to the egg-banana mixture as the heat from the butter would cook the egg, and that's not what you want to do!
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and mix no more than ten seconds. The batter will be visibly lumpy. That's OK! It's extremely important not to overmix the batter, or the resulting bread will be too hard.
- Once the liquid and dry ingredients have been combined, gently pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake immediately.
- TIP: The dry and wet ingredients, respectively, can be mixed in advance, but as soon as the wet and dry ingredients have been combined with each other, the liquid will activate the baking powder and the batter must be baked right away.
- Bake 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean and the edge of the bread starts to separate from the pan.
- Once the pan is cool enough to touch, carefully invert the pan — the loaf should drop right out, so make sure you support it with your other hand. Let the loaf cool on a wire rack at room temperature.
For a real treat, serve this banana bread drizzled with a delicious vanilla custard sauce called crème anglaise.
