Hi Jean,
Thanks for your response.
I would surely love to figure this mystery out.
I have yet to visit the cemeteries, but have seen the list of names on internment.net. I don't think I've seen any records of Rinear jr. though. It may be him.
Please contact me off the board at email@example.com.
I do have quite a bit of the line from then on, from a few ancestry.com family trees posted.
Would you have any info. on a Peter Van Sickle that married Eleanor Fonger in Jerseyville?This was one of my possibilities as well, as a first marriage.
Please contact me. Thanks!

Couldn't recommend this Agriturismo more highly.
In a beautiful tranquil spot, there is hardly any traffic on the road there, with the flanks of Monte Sibillia in the back garden (ca 950m). We stayed for 4 days in all since it offered fantastic access for walking in the mountains. Apparently you can see the Adriatic from the house but we were blessed with mixed weather! Lovely family who treated us to delicious home-grown tomatoes and freshly pressed passata – deliziosa!
This is a fantastic stopover on the Grande Anello route since it is literally minutes off the walking track.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Lovely cottage in the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains, south of Le Marche (central Italy),located in a strategic position to visit the most beautiful places of the park. It consists of comfortable self contained apartments suitable for couples, families and groups. Garden with playground, organic vegetable garden, poultry, outdoor furniture, bbq, washing machine, books and maps of the park, mountain bikes, possibility of breakfast or packed lunch. ... more less

Commentaires Robert Parker
Voici le dernier commentaire de Robert PARKER qui nous encourage sacrément!
Another big time sleeper of the vintage from Fronsac, this beauty from proprietor Jean-Noël Hervé has hit the bull's eye.
A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of black currants, sweet cherries, crushed rocks, and a distinctive minerality. It is a medium to full-bodied, structured effort with sweet tannin, decent acidity, and oodles of fruit as well as richness.
Enjoy it over the next 10-15 years

While paying for a cup of coffee at a local café I tend to frequent, the cashier asked me if I wanted to sign up to receive special offers and coupons in the mail. Since I knew I would be spending money at this particular business in the future, I was more than willing to comply.
This is a great example of how you can target your direct mail marketing program to people who are already interested in your product or service. Instead of blindly mailing your card mailers to everyone in a certain area, you can hand select the recipients, therefore increasing the chances of the mailer being read and the offer being taken advantage of.
Direct mail marketing programs may seem to irritate a lot of people, but when the offer is from a store the person often visits, they are usually happy to receive special mailings that offer discounts on products they were probably going to buy in the first place.
Another example of a targeted direct mail program occurred when I signed up for a credit card at one of my favorite clothing stores. As a perk for getting the card, I began receiving card mailers offering percentages off and free $10 on any purchase. Once again, this is a type of direct mail that anyone would be happy to receive.

I followed you up until you said you experienced "HooDoo" and Eckists
(including Harold) appearing in your dreams?
Is this part of the teachings you hold onto or could it be something
of your own doing, subconciously. By believing this, you are
presupposing that the cult has the ability to appear to you in the
dream state. Could you clarify?

SoupeR Bowl of CARing At woRk
Mobilizing youth to give 100% to charities while taking nothing for our own funding is a serious commitment. we do it for many reasons, including our belief that young people are empowered when they donate directly to the charity of their choice. through the generous support of individuals, families, corporations and churches we are able to keep Souper Bowl of Caring going strong with a national staff that is small and efficient. our staff of four full-time and eight part-time people creates and distributes free resources that help make our participants' collections a success. our staff communicates throughout the year with hundreds of thousands of participants including youth and the community leaders who organize them through our website (tacklehunger.org), printed newsletters, email and social media campaigns. we also create programs like Service Blitz that introduce youth to hands-on volunteer experiences in their own communities. our leadership programs, National youth Advisory Board and National Student Alliance, use students as ambassadors for SBoC in their communities while teaching and inspiring them to become our nation's next generation of community leaders and philanthropists. we maximize every dollar donated to us for our administrative expenses, leveraging it to organize young people in the fight against hunger.

SOUPER BOWL OF CARING 2011 Community Repo Rt
p. 11
COMPASSION for many youth, participation in Souper Bowl of Caring is their first volunteer experience. our service and leadership programs maximize the enthusiasm they feel when they become part of the nation's largest youth-led weekend of giving and serving. By giving them more opportunities to lead in their communities, we hope to inspire a lifetime of philanthropy. SERVICE BLItz we encourage participants to devote Super Bowl weekend to Souper Bowl of Caring, committing Saturday to serving and Sunday to giving. through Service Blitz, youth volunteer hands-on at their chosen charity on the Saturday before the big game. this gives them exposure to poverty, hunger, homelessness and injustice in their own communities, and provides a first-hand look at the people who need them and the impact they can make.
in 2011 you helped youth from hOLSEy ChAPEL CME ChURCh IN FItzGERALd, GA participate in the Jacksonville, fl Service Blitz, where they enjoyed breakfast and a pep rally before traveling across town to the mission project to prepare boxes to deliver relief to haiti.
NAtIONAL yOUth AdVISORy BOARd (NyAB) high school sophomores, juniors and seniors can take their dedication for community service to the next level by applying for a position on our NyAB. we select 12 representatives from across the nation to serve as role models for others in their community and national spokespersons for Souper Bowl of Caring. they give voice to our mission while gaining invaluable opportunities for decision-making, leadership, travel and training. NAtIONAL StUdENt ALLIANCE (NSA) our newest student leadership program, the NSA, enables students of all ages to play a significant role in their communities through Souper Bowl of Caring. using their energy and enthusiasm to encourage others, participation in nSA is a great way for students to connect with others who are passionate about tackling hunger in their communities.

CItIzENShIP With participation in all 50 states, and a goal to reach more young people each year, we will continue to increase support for our volunteer forces. we have strategically placed five field directors in nfl cities where we have a strong foundation and support from the nfl team. our long-term goal is to have these community liaisons on the ground in each of the 32 nfl markets. Everything is bigger in texas, but it wasn't always that way for Souper Bowl of Caring. in 2003, a total of 50 churches collected $17,000 for local charities. that same year, a generous contribution from houston texans owner Bob mcnair enabled us to hire a South texas field director to grow participation in the city. in 2004, when houston hosted Super Bowl xxxviii, the community pulled together to collect $250,000 for hunger relief, a significant increase from the previous year. in 2011, houston collected $2.1 million for hunger-relief charities during Souper Bowl of Caring.
with your help in 2011, nicholas Armstrong, a member of our 2010-2011 nyAB became the face and voice for Souper Bowl of Caring in houston, texas.
houston's success serves as an example of how the community liaison model is helping us engage more youth in the fight against hunger, while teaching citizenship and philanthropy. the result is Souper Cities, including Austin, tx; Charlotte, nC; Columbia, SC; dallas, fort worth, tx; houston, tx; and Jacksonville, fl, where Souper Bowl of Caring field directors are on the ground building partnerships that get communities involved. our newest Souper City is indianapolis, in, host city of Super Bowl xlvi in 2012.

houston texans owner Bob mcnair and his wife Janice (pictured here) continue to support the work of Souper Bowl of Caring. in 2011 they matched gifts of $77,000. Since their first generous contribution in 2003, gifts from the mcnair family have totaled $150,000.

"Souper Bowl of Caring is attractive to us because 100% of every dollar donated on Super Bowl Sunday goes directly to charity. The youth who participate choose the charity—and that brought us to the table. The sheer commitment of the organization's leadership and staff to sharing God's love with the less fortunate clinched our continued support. This ministry has grown exponentially because of their commitment and dedication, and we're convinced contributions on Super Bowl Sunday will reach the billions someday." – Marit and Bill Bobo The 2011 - 2012 SBoC nyAB Members

TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
A team of American geophysicists has found more evidence for the fine-tuned design of planet Earth for the benefit of advanced life. Using high-pressure laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations, they showed that the archives of seismic data could only be explained if a thin, specially composed layer existed between the lower mantle and the outer liquid core of the earth. This newly identified layer would be made up of iron-rich silicate as much as 20% denser than normal lower mantle material. Evidently, physical/chemical reactions at the core-mantle boundary are responsible for the formation of this enigmatic layer. Several physical characteristics of this layer, including its magnetism, diffusivity, elasticity, and anisotropy, would need to be fine-tuned to sustain the kind of dynamo and plate tectonics at the level and duration that advanced life on Earth demands.

text: I messaged my sister and asked her if she got home OK. A few hours later, she replied. After some small talk, she asked me if I hated her. What? ! Where did that come from? "Of course I don't hate you." I typed. "I'm not trying to guilt trip you, but you broke my heart. I want my sister back." She replied. Hmm. Which sister? The one who wanted to end her own life? The sister who hid her all consuming pain behind a cheery voice, whenever she called? The sister who'd died inside and was waiting for her body to catch up? The sister she hadn't seen for two years (prior to the hospital visit), despite only living an hour and half away? The sister she made excuses to, whenever the subject of meeting up arose? The sister she actually didn't really know? Instead of saying all of this, I just promised to get better. I meant what I said. Continue reading

This class was tough.
Course Overview:
This course was way too difficult for a non-science major course. The slides contained too much material, often things that we weren't going to be tested on. The study guides for the tests also contained excessive amounts of information. The homework was based very loosely off of the slides and it was hard to figure out the answers for it, yet it counted as a significant part of our grade. Finally, the tests contained a lot of information that was not on the study guides. I went to Professor Chevalier's office hours several times seeking help with both my homework and tests. While he did explain the correct answers to me, he failed to point out the information that was most important and that would help me to do well in the class. Overall, I would not recommend this class to anyone. Even if you like astronomy, the teacher makes it very boring.
Course highlights:
Despite the poor curriculum of this course , I did learn a few things over the course of the semester. The topics the course focused on greatly were solar proton events, supernovae, black holes, and gamma ray bursts. I learned about the origin of these astronomical events, what happens during them, and, most importantly, how much of a threat they are to earth. Nevertheless, the topic I found the most interesting was discussed towards the end of the course: aliens. The professor lectured about events and structures that extraterrestrials were supposedly responsible for, such as crop circles and the Egyptian pyramids. He also discussed alien hoaxes and the probability of alien existence. While I am not sure whether Professor Chevalier believes in aliens or not, I liked learning about the different sides of the alien argument.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
If you do decide to take this course, please pay attention during every class. If he states something that is not in the slides, write it down; it may help you with your homework. You should also review your notes and slides after each class. Professor Chevalier provides a great amount of information and it can take a while to fully soak it up and comprehend it. When doing your homework, do not be careless; each question is worth a lot of points. Many of the answers you can find online, but you should still double check them with the slides and/or your textbook (which I did not find very helpful and hardly ever used) and think about each answer before you submit the homework. Finally, start studying for each test as soon as you get the study guide. The tests are not something you can cram for in one night and still get an A. If you are having trouble understanding a concept, go to the professor's office hours. He will explain it to you and answer any questions you may have; however, do not expect him to narrow down the study guide for you or point out the most important information. You will have to study everything on the guide the best that you can!

The Google Science Fair asks the above to introduce a science challenge aimed at kids. With a well designed set of incentives, trips from National Geographic Explorer to the Galapagos and to Lego's headquarters, scholarships, and hands on time at notable science facilities like CERN, the challenge designers have done an excellent job aligning incentives with the theme challenge. What makes an incentive aligned? It largely depends on the purpose of the challenge. Challenges can be designed to do any number of things from building a group identity to finding a solution for a pressing problem or simply to promote awareness of a product or service. In this case Google and their partners are creating an educational experience to build kids love and passion for discovery and invention. While they could have chosen to award cash or grants, Google chose to reward winners with experiences that reinforce the theme of the challenge. In every challenge entrant participation has a relationship to the incentives offered. By offering meaningful incentives for kids aligned with the challenge theme Google will likely attract just the types who will build the future.

Kabocha Squash Soup with Garlic Challah Croutons
Since Sukkot menus are all about the autumn harvest, what could be more festive than starting off the meal with a comforting bowl of pumpkin soup? When I was growing up, one of my favorite recipes was my grandmother's stewed Kabocha: a Japanese variety of pumpkin or squash. It wasn't until I went off to college that I tried pumpkin for the first time in a dish, and I've always felt the flavor of Kabocha is far superior to the pumpkins we eat here in the U.S. It is sweeter and heartier than that of a regular pumpkin, and it has a fluffy texture similar to that of a potato, which makes it perfect for a puréed soup. The color is a deeper orange, making it more vibrant and festive, as well!
If you're having a sit-down meal, you can serve it in bowls as a starter. If you're throwing a casual happy hour under the sukkah like I am, you can keep it warm in a big thermos pot and pour individual servings in little paper cups with the garlic challah croutons, cream and chives sprinkled over the top. This is the time of year when the air is starting to get a bit crisper, so this soup is a great way to warm up under the sukkah. If you're serving meat later and would like to keep things kosher, I recommend omitting the milk and cream and instead finishing the soup with a dollop of homemade cashew cream under the croutons, which your guests can stir in.
Kabocha Squash Soup with Garlic Challah Croutons
Soup Instructions:
1. Slice Kabocha in half and spoon out the seeds. Cut each half into three wedges. Turn each wedge onto the flat side and remove the green skin. Cut each wedge crosswise into four even squares (see image for what your Kabocha should look like at this point).
2. Melt butter in a dutch oven or pot, over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, slide in the sliced onion, curry powder and a sprinkling of salt. Stir the onion continuously for 10 minutes, or until caramelized. Slide Kabocha cubes into the pot, along with another sprinkling of salt and stir for five minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot for 10 minutes.
3. Using a fork, pierce Kabocha to check for doneness. It should be soft enough to pierce without resistance, but not so soft that it falls apart. If it's not quite soft enough, stir, cover and cook for another five minutes.
4. When Kabocha is cooked through, blend in batches in a blender or use an immersion blender (one of my favorite kitchen tools!) until completely smooth.
5. Stir in milk, then heavy whipping cream. Make sure to keep the heat very low and be careful to not let the soup boil at this point.
6. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Top with a dollop of the whipped cream, challah croutons and chives.
This is a recipe I came up with when, one Saturday morning, I decided I could not eat any more challah French toast!
Challah Croutons
1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
2. Grate garlic clove into olive oil, stir in herbs and salt. Be very careful to only include very small, microplane-d pieces of garlic. Larger pieces will get burnt and become bitter.
3. Cut challah into roughly 3/4″ x 3/4″ cubes. I recommend using a regular knife for a cleaner cut (as opposed to a serrated knife).
4. Place cubed challah onto a baking sheet and pour oil mixture over challah and mix well with your hands.
5. Spread challah out on baking sheet so it's just one layer and the challah is not (or just barely) touching.
6. Bake for five minutes and check on it. It should be a nice and toasty golden color. If it's not browning quite yet, bake for another 5 minutes and check on it again. It took me about 12 minutes to achieve this in my oven.
Blueberry and Apple Borekas with Honey Tahini
It's probably a bit of a stretch to call these borekas because I originally introduced them to my readers as one of our favorite savory Turkish bites. And it's not every day you think of sweet borekas. Truth be told, I am a savory lover at heart. But this once city girl, who now lives within minutes of farmland—driving by horses, cows, dairy farms and wild apple trees—counts her blessings and happily picks blueberries at a nearby farm.
Whether we'll call them borekas or not, these little pastries are fast, easy and perfectly sweet for the Jewish New Year. And as a perfect finger food for a Yom Kippur break fast, I made blueberry and apple borekas with a sweet tahini honey glaze.
Another usual savory bite, tahini is an ingredient I use for just about everything: dressings, dips and spreads, and naturally don't see it used as a sweet ingredient. Tahini is mixed with a bit of honey and warm water and with a bit of elbow grease, turns into a beautiful pour-able consistency.
Wishing you a wonderful and sweet New Year and an easy fast! L'shana Tovah!
Blueberry and Apple Borekas with Honey Tahini
Tahini Glaze:
1. First make the filling. In a bowl, add together the cubed apples, blueberries, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and lemon zest and juice. Toss everything together and allow to sit while you prepare the puff pastry.
2. Unfold puff pastry on a floured surface and roll out a bit so the pastry is a bit thinner.
3. Then cut pastry sheet into nine even squares (18 total for both sheets) and add about a tablespoon of filling to each square.
4. Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl and brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and then folding the dough together making a little pouch. Use your fingers or a fork to crimp the edges and it's OK if you stretch the dough a bit, the fruit will shrink as it bakes.
5. Brush more egg wash on top of the folded pastry and sprinkle with more sugar. Use a knife to cut little skits on the top.
6. Place borekas on lined baking sheet and bake at 325° for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling begins to ooze out and the pastry is golden brown.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool a bit while you make tahini glaze.
8. To make the tahini glaze, in a bowl add the tahini and honey and 1/4 cup warm water. Use a fork or whisk to whisk everything together until it is smooth and pour-able. As it sits, it will get firmer so you can add a bit more warm water and mix until desired consistency.
Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread with Applesauce Glaze
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals because every dish has a comfort food vibe. For Yom Kippur, I love preparing a "break fast" meal with some family favorites like noodle kugel and bagels and lox. We make dishes that are easy to digest and gentle on the stomach after a day of fasting. I also like to add in something new every year. Pumpkin spice craze is here to stay so I decided to take a classic monkey bread, which is also known as Hungarian coffee cake, and pumpkin spice it up! If you have any Hungarian roots in your family, this is a great time to add your heritage to the celebration of the Jewish New Year. This recipe uses pre-made biscuit dough for ease and speed, but you can also use your own scratch recipe.
Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread with Apple Sauce Glaze
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a small loaf pan or 6-inch square baking dish.
2. Mix the sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin spice.
3. Melt the stick of butter and add in the maple syrup.
4. Take each pre-made biscuit dough and cut it into two pieces. Roll the pieces one at a time in the butter and then the pumpkin spice sugar mixture.
5. Place each ball into the baking dish until you have one layer of sugar and pumpkin spice coated balls of dough. If using a small loaf pan, you will have two layers of dough balls and will cook for longer.
6. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the dough has risen and is a deep golden brown.
7. While the pumpkin spice monkey bread is baking, peel and grate both apples. Cook the apples in a covered saucepan until soft and fragrant.
8. Pour the apple sauce into a bowl and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir in 1 cup of powdered sugar.
French Apple Root Vegetable Hash with Honey Drizzle
This version of vegetable hash can be served as a side dish or enjoyed as a full meal. The apples and honey for Rosh Hashanah represent a sweet new year while the flavors are French inspired with shallots and classic French herbs. For your seasoning, enjoy a taste of France with a classic herb mix such as herbes de Provence or use tarragon, which is often used in French cooking.
French Apple Root Vegetable Hash with Honey Drizzle
(serves 4 as a meal and 6 as a side dish)
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into a small dice. Rinse the potatoes thoroughly and dry them on a clean kitchen towel.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan for a minute or two over medium high heat. Add in the potatoes and fry until golden brown. You will need to turn the potatoes with a spoon or spatula to cook on all sides.
3. While the potatoes are crisping, peel and dice the carrot and parsnip and chop the shallot finely. Once the potatoes are golden brown, remove them from the pan and set them aside on a plate. In the same pan, toss the shallots in the leftover oil and cook for a minute, then add the diced carrots and parsnips. Cook for two more minutes.
4. While the root vegetables cook, dice the red pepper. Peel and dice the apple. Note: I like to have the apple diced slightly larger than the root vegetables to highlight it. Toss the red pepper and apple in with the rest of the vegetables and add salt and pepper to taste. If you are using dried herbs, sprinkle 1 tsp. of herbes de Provence in now. Add the potatoes back into the pan and stir it all together. Remove the hash to a serving dish. If you are using fresh herbs, mince them.
5. Top with a drizzle of honey and, if you are using fresh herbs, sprinkle them on top of the hash. You can use as much as a whole Tbsp. or less to taste. If you are serving this as a main course, I suggest adding some crumbled goat cheese or grated Comté cheese. For breakfast, you can top it with a fried egg.
Challah With a Twist: Scallion Pancake Challah
By Molly Yeh
Reprinted with permission from Molly Yeh, adapted from MyJewishLearning.
I enjoy being a Chinese Jew. I eat plenty of matzah balls and potstickers and I get to celebrate three New Years.
I've often had to convince people that I'm Jewish, which is amusing and usually results in a new friend feeling like they can connect with me better due to a shared religion. Other than that, I can't say I really thought about what it meant to Chinese and Jewish while I was growing up.
I recently moved out to rural North Dakota with my Norwegian husband, population six Jews and about 10,000 Scandinavian descendants. Things are quiet here, people are Midwestern nice, and the small town life is pretty darn wonderful.
For the first time in my life, I feel a bit like an oddball, in a sea of light-haired Lutherans, but people embrace me when I introduce them to challah. North Dakotans love challah! And I love their food too, like Lefse and dessert bars of all sorts.
All of my challah here is homemade. As are my latkes, kugel, matzah balls… you get the picture. There's not a deli in sight. Not even a bagel. I do miss bopping down to Zabar's for babka and bagels, but on the other hand, with the necessity to make everything from scratch comes the opportunity to put my own spin on things and mash up my Chinese/Jewish/Midwesternness.
Brisket in my potstickers, ginger sugar beet latkes, egg rolls with home cured pastrami from a cow that I'll one day raise…
I'm getting carried away.
But this recipe is me in bread form! Chinese, Jewish and pretty doughy, whether I can help it or not. Inspired by the scallion pancake, here is an Asian twist on my all-time favorite challah.
Scallion Pancake Challah
Makes one large loaf
Basic challah dough
Based on Food 52's Recipe
Filling and Topping
1. In a small bowl, proof yeast in 1/2 cup warm water mixed with 1 tsp. of sugar.
2. While yeast is proofing, mix flour, salt, and remaining 2 Tbsp. of sugar in a large bowl.
3. In a medium bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup of water, honey, oil and eggs.
4. Once yeast has finished proofing, add it to the flour, followed by the wet ingredients. Mix with a large wooden spoon until dough becomes too thick to stir. Empty dough onto well-floured surface and knead by hand. Knead dough until smooth and no longer sticky, adding flour as needed.
5. Transfer to an oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rise for about two hours, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Divide dough into three equal parts and then roll each part into a 1-foot log. Gently flatten each log so that it is about 3 inches wide.
8. Brush each with toasted sesame oil and then sprinkle with salt, pepper, chili flakes, and scallions. Roll them up lengthwise like a jellyroll, and then braid.
9. Place the loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet and then brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds and black pepper.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the challah is cooked through.
Sweet Wine Slushies
This recipe contains alcohol and is for those of legal drinking age only.
Introduce your loved ones to good ol' fashioned Manischewitz, and reinvent the Jewish holiday staple into the dessert it was always meant to be. This way, you can avoid getting any looks that say "You drink this stuff?" or, "Is this what all Jewish wine is like?" Your loved ones will instead wonder why you've been hiding this Manischewitz stuff from them all this time. L'chaim! Cheers!
1 cup sweet kosher wine
1 1/2 cups pear nectar
2-inch piece of ginger
1 lime, zested
1 Tbsp. sugar
1. Slice ginger, add to pot with pear nectar and heat on stove, reducing to 1 cup (25 minutes)
2. Strain out the ginger pieces and add the wine to the juice. Pour mixture into a glass baking dish and freeze for one hour.
3. Remove from freezer and using a fork, scrape the slush off the bottom of the dish. Repeat one to two times, freezing for 30 minute increments.
4. Once it's frozen to desired slushiness, zest your lime and mix it with the sugar. Scoop out your slushie and top with lime sugar.
Black + White Creamsicles
Aside from the smell of tuna fish, nothing can really transport me to a New York Jewish deli like a black and white cookie. Just the mere sight of of the cookie transports me to a Shabbat luncheon in which I'm elbow-ing the person to the left and right of me (and sometimes behind me) in an attempt to get my hands on the last black and white cookie.
If you've ever been to a Yom Kippur break-the-fast or a Shabbat kiddush lunch, you KNOW what I'm talking about. The dessert table is the first table everyone goes for and most certainly, if there is a black and white cookie to be had, it's the first cookie taken. (Fun fact: Did you know that the black and white cookie isn't actually a cookie? It's considered a drop cake. Whatever it is, it's delicious.) Though folklore tells us that it was quite possibly not invented in NYC, but actually upstate in Ithaca, it's still been wholly embraced by deli culture.
For me, the black and white cookie represents one of the greatest parts about being Jewish—that Jewish food can be loved and accepted by all, regardless of Jewish affiliation and/or observance level. And while there's nothing especially "Jewish" about the black and white cookie, one can't help but think of Jewish culture when eating it (just like brisket or kugel, in my opinion). And so, in this age of increased aggression and polarization toward the other, shouldn't we all take Jerry Seinfeld's lead and "look to the cook" … or in this case, the popsicle?! This recipe takes inspiration from a black and white cookie and transforms it with a fun summery twist to create a delicious creamsicle.
Black + White Creamsicle
Ingredients for the chocolate layer:
Directions for chocolate layer:
1. Combine the sugar, espresso, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in a heavy medium saucepan. Whisk in just enough of the milk to make a smooth paste. Whisk in the remaining whipping cream.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring with the whisk—constantly scraping the bottom, sides and corners of the pot—until the mixture begins to bubble a little at the edges. Continue whisking and cooking for two more minutes.
3. Off heat, whisk in the vanilla and scrape the mixture into a glass or silicone pitcher (for immediate filling) or into the bowl to cool. Next, fill your popsicle molds halfway with your chocolate mixture and freeze for at least six hours.
Next, make your vanilla side.
Ingredients for vanilla layer:
Directions for vanilla layer:
1. In a bowl, stir together the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the sour cream, milk, cream and vanilla.
2. Take your chocolate popsicles out of the freezer and fill the remaining half with your vanilla side. If your mold has a cover with openings for sticks, cover and insert sticks. Otherwise, freeze until the mixture is thick enough to hold a stick upright and then insert sticks. Freeze until hard, about 4 hours if the mixture was cool, 6 or more hours if hot.
3. Line a tray with wax paper. Fill a container with warm water deep enough to dip the full height of your molds. Dip the mold long enough to release the popsicles when you pull on the stick. Remove and set popsicles on wax paper. Wrap each in a piece of wax paper and/or put them in a resealable plastic freezer bag and return them to the freezer until serving.

Easy Cherry Curry Chicken Salad
Summers are hot, days are long and you want your time in the kitchen to be short. Whether you have a roasted chicken left over from Friday night Shabbat dinner or you pop into the grocery store after an afternoon at the pool and pick up a rotisserie chicken, this recipe will have you craving more. It's also a nice way to combine the leftovers from a classic Shabbat chicken dinner with some Indian flavor. I find on hot summer days we eat less meat so making something with the leftovers is key. You can set aside some of the mixture before adding the curry powder if anyone likes a milder flavor. Enjoy on a weekend picnic or at the beach!
1. You can use whatever chicken is leftover and then adjust how much of each additional ingredient you have. You will want about two cups of chicken. I remove the skin and chop the chicken breast into cubes. I will then do the same with the wing and thigh meat.
2. If you have a cherry pitter, pit the cherries and then slice them in quarters. If not, you can just slice the cherries around the pit into quarters. I cut just to one side of the pit then pop the pit out and slice the cherry.
3. For green garlic, trim the end by the bulb and then slice the garlic thinly up to the green grassy part. For scallions, you can cut all the way up through the greens. I tend to use a little less if I am doing the green garlic as it is more potent than the scallions. Thoroughly wash the cilantro as it can be gritty. Then, chop up the leaves and stems.
4. Toss the mayonnaise with the chicken. I like to use just a thin coating of mayonnaise, but feel free to add more if you like your chicken salad creamy. Then, add in the scallions and chopped cherries. Sprinkle in a generous pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper.
5. For those who don't like curry, you can take out a portion of the chicken salad now. With the remaining chicken salad, toss in the curry powder (adjust to 1/2 Tbsp. if you took out a lot of the chicken salad to leave plain).
6. Serve on lettuce cups, endive cups or radicchio cups if you want a light, gluten-free lunch or dinner. Serve it with bread for a hearty sandwich.
Key Lime Bars for Shavuot
By Mari Levine
I like to call Shavuot the "No meat? No problem!" holiday. When brainstorming a recipe for this post, I learned a lot about the history of this holiday, particularly why we focus on dairy dishes instead of meat. Or, more to the point: What's with all the blintzes?
What I learned is that Jews are resourceful when they're hungry. So when we were given the Torah on that fateful Shabbat atop Mount Sinai and instructed to start eating kosher, we didn't wait until we were allowed to "kasher" our meat and cooking utensils. Instead, we decided to make our first kosher meal a dairy one, using the milk we'd set aside for the animals.
I'm always looking for more opportunities to eat dairy desserts like cheesecake and ice cream, and acknowledging the origin of our religion's dietary laws is as good a reason as any. Key lime bars are one of my favorite dairy desserts because of their bracing, bright flavor and smooth filling, layered to make a tidy, portable cheesecake. These little squares are so good you'll want to shout it from the rooftop—or mountaintop, as the case may be.
Key Lime Bars
Makes about 16
1. FOR THE CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and spray generously with cooking spray.
2. Combine graham crackers, butter, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Combine until graham cracker crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer to prepared baking pan and press firmly into bottom of pan. Bake until deeper in color and dry, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
3. FOR THE FILLING: In large bowl, combine cream cheese, zest, condensed milk, and yolk. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Add lime juice and stir until well combined.
4. Pour filling into crust and use spatula to spread into even layer that reaches to corners of pan. Bake until filling is just set, rotating pan halfway through, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature on wire rack, then cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
5. Remove from pan, cut into squares, and serve.

Za'atar White Bean Salad on Malawach
I love Mother's Day. I know this might seem like a given but I've honestly always loved Mother's Day. There were definitely a few years there (mainly in my 20s) where it was not on my radar but now that I'm a mother of two, let's be honest… it's basically a second birthday and if you know me at all then you KNOW how much I love my birthday.
My husband and I created a little ritual for Mother's Day (since it's actually only three short weeks after my birthday) where we don't get gifts (same goes for Father's Day) but instead, the parent who is celebrating the day gets to sleep in and choose what we do all day. In addition, instead of paying for an expensive gift, we make a donation to a charity that supports parents and/or children (this is called tzedakah in Hebrew—charitable giving). Because honestly, I don't really need another pair of earrings or a fancy pair of shoes but I do need to sleep and eat breakfast in bed.
Speaking of breakfast in bed, I recently fell in love with malawach all over again. If you haven't had this Yemenite delight, now is the time to try it. You can find it in any kosher grocery store and in some major grocery store chains (depending on where you live) in the freezer section. It's essentially just a delicious, buttery flaky bread that does well when paired with just about anything. And since I LOVE Middle Eastern flavors, I paired it with za'atar, an herby spice blend ubiquitous in Israeli cooking.
If the person you're honoring on Mother's Day doesn't like bread for some strange reason, you can also put this white bean salad on a mixture of fresh leafy greens or even a perfectly roasted sweet potato. I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you do choose to make this Middle Eastern breakfast for the amazing woman helping to raise a kiddo with Judaism in their life, don't forget to bring her some strong coffee and a flower (or succulents!). Presentation is everything. Happy Mother's Day!
1. Combine shallot and vinegar in a small bowl and let sit 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix cilantro and ⅓ of the oil in a large bowl to coat herbs. Add beans, cheese and za'atar and toss to combine. Season generously with salt.
3. Add shallot mixture to bean mixture and toss gently to combine. Set aside.
4. Add the remaining oil to a large frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add frozen malawach to the frying pan and immediately reduce the heat to medium, cooking until the bottom is golden brown with large bubbles forming underneath the dough, 2½ to 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown all over. Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel while baking the remaining dough sheet.
5. Once both of your malawach sheets are done, top with marinated salad and enjoy!

You can find many sites on the internet who sell incuranse leads to earn money for their work but here on this site you can find them absolutely free of any cost you just have to use them to do the sale without making too much efforts.
Whine, whine about the SuperPACs, but only when you can't put a credible one together.
I wish I could hear what they are saying. Can't they shut up & wait for a turn to speak?
Laws on cancellatoin fees are geleranly state specific and I don't know what they are for Texas. You can refer to the Texas Department of Insurance for additional info (www.tdi.state.tx.us). Some companies do not charge any fee and simply cancel on a prorated calculation. Other companies might do a flat fee, Progressive and 21st Century for instance charge a flat $50 fee. Still other carriers might charge a short rate fee which may a bit more, geleranly the cost to cancel an auto insurance policy is rather nominal compared to the premium. Please note, if the agent that setup your policy charged you a broker fee you won't get that back.

The food was bland I was expecting authentic Mexican food but far from that. Pretty disappointed. Wouldn't go back.
Both my husband and my father became deathly ill after eating there this last Saturday.
We think it was the beans!
Good Mexican food and festive family atmosphere. Good music and fast service. Parking has not been a problem in their large lot.

Great seafood stuffed rellenos! Nice atmosphere, although the birds can get annoying landing on the tables and dipping into your chip basket. Nothing a little ""shooing"" won't fix, but dampens the mood a bit. I highly recommend this place over the restaurants in the square.
It was great. We ate outside and loved all the little birds flying around. Service was nice and food was good.... but make a reservation or go between 3-5 or you will not get in. Busy....busy.

The best margaritas I have tasted in San Diego. The food is not bad and the service was friendly. Occassionally they will have live music playing. Great place to take a date or just to relax on a sunny afternoon with some friends. Thumbs up!

We first went to this restaurant because of the buy one get one free meal in the entertainment book. But you don't need a special deal to save money at this wonderful Mexican getaway. The food is authentic and delicious, the service is friendly and well timed, and the prices can't be beat. I recently went with a group of 11 people and together we all spent less than $150. The atmosphere is festive, with mariachis wandering around and a very colorful decor.
I love to go with my husband for a casual date night and with friends visiting San Diego to show them a taste of Mexico!

Murder in Pigalle by Cara Black
Nothing weighs on us so heavily as a secret.
Paris, June 1998. Monday, 1:15 P.M.
STEPPING INTO THE shadowed cool of Passage Verdeau, Aimée Leduc welcomed the reprieve from the late-June heat—but not the barrel of the Uzi blocking her way. Stifling a gasp, she clutched her stomach, felt a flutter.
"Mind lowering that?" she said to the CRS riot officer standing in her path.
Dim light filtered through the nineteenth-century passage's glass roof and onto the cracked mosaic under her heels. The smell of old books hung in the narrow passage, heightening the faded charm of the shop fronts.
"Use the other exit, Mademoiselle … er, Madame."
What was disrupting traffic this time? Another demonstration? World Cup fever igniting riots? Pre-Fête de la Musique revels? End of exams? There was so much to choose from this week.
She shouldered her secondhand Birkin bag, prenatal vitamins rattling against the mascara tubes and Beretta summer catalogs. "What's the problem?"
She blinked, recognizing the voice and the face under the riot helmet. "Daniel! You had training wheels on your bike the last time I saw you." It was her godfather Morbier's nephew. Fond memories returned of pushing him on a rope swing at her grandmother's Auvergne farm. "Seems you've graduated to new toys."
"And you're pregnant, Aimée." Daniel smiled, slung his Uzi behind his shoulder and kissed both of her cheeks. "Never thought you'd join the bourgeoisie. Married, eh? Someone I know?"
"It's complicated." She averted her eyes. Melac, her baby's father, didn't know she was pregnant. He'd taken leave from the Brigade Criminelle to go back to Brittany and sit at his daughter's hospital bedside—she had been in a coma since a bus accident four months ago.
"Still working, too," Daniel said.
"Cyber crime never takes a holiday." Thank God for that, or Leduc Detective would be out of business. "Don't tell me it's the sewer workers demonstrating again?" A sigh escaped her as she imagined the choked traffic and tar fumes from the hot pavement.
"Nothing so pungent," he said. "Security detail."
Aimée's eyes widened. In CRS speak that meant there had been a security threat, patrols and surveillance. "A bomb threat?"
Daniel's eyes veiled. "Nothing that exciting."
"Allez, Daniel, you used to play with my Lego. Spill."
Muttering under his breath, he said, "The powers that be don't relish the City of Light being tarnished by corruption …"
But she didn't catch the rest, as the commander barked an order to advance. His CRS unit continued forward, toward the Grands Boulevards lined by leafy lime trees. Their thumping boots trampled the fallen blossoms, emitting a waft of citrus.
As Aimée waited at the bus stop near the Opéra, her impatience mounted. Shoppers and office workers filled the zebra-striped crosswalks, traffic clogged the boulevards and, comme toujours, middle-aged hookers plied their trade on rue Joubert behind the Printemps department store. By the time she reached her office building on rue du Louvre, a fine sheen of perspiration dotted her upper lip.
The shaking wire-cage elevator wheezed up to the third floor. Fishing out her compact, she checked her lipstick then stepped out onto the scuffed landing. Leduc Detective's frosted-glass door was open.
René had ordered new shelving for a wall module to make room for the crib, and there was a strange man in overalls tapping away at her office wall. Aimée stifled her irritation. All the baby preparation had become a bone of contention between her and René—like a lot of things these days. It was like he was the one having her baby—eat this, not that; exercise, don't lift.
Hot recycled air spun from the old fan under the office chandelier, and lemony afternoon light slanted over the parquet floor. She couldn't wait to nudge off her peep-toe kitten heels, put her feet up and drink something cold. Shuffling noises came from the rear.
A head of curly red hair popped up from behind Aimée's desk. It belonged to Zazie, the thirteen-year-old daughter of the café owners on the corner. A worried look shone in Zazie's eyes. "René's gone to the tax office, Aimée. Said you should start praying."
Aimée groaned. René had spent all last night calculating their revenue. If they didn't figure something out quickly, they'd have to pay a penalty—with what money, she didn't know. The curse of the last week in June!
The worker in overalls set his hammer down by their printer. "Tell Monsieur Friant I've taken the measurements," he said as he left. "Delivery tomorrow."
She could do with an iced espresso right now. And taking a load off her feet. The hottest June in years! She caught her breath.
"Are you all right, Aimée?" asked Zazie, her eyes big.
"Fine." She let herself down into René's ergonomic chair and kicked off her heels. The cold wood floor chilled her feet. Almost six months pregnant and still nausea in the morning. "Wait une seconde. Why aren't you in class?"
Zazie played with the red tassel on her backpack's zipper, averted her gaze.
"What's wrong, Zazie?"
When she met Aimée's eyes, her lip quivered. "Mélanie, a girl in my school, was … attacked."
"Attacked?" Concerned, Aimée took Zazie's hand. "Sit down. Tell me what happened."
Zazie took a school binder labeled SUSPECT W and pulled out a newspaper clipping. The headline read, TWELVE-YEAR-OLD LYCéE STUDENT SEXUALLY ASSAULTED IN HOME AFTER SCHOOL.
Aimée blinked, horrified. "What is Suspect W? Is this some grotesque class project? I don't understand."
