Start Reading Julie and Romeo
The first time I heard the name Cacciamani I was five years old. My father said it, and then he spit.
The spitting I had seen before. I watched my father spit out his toothpaste into the sink. I had seen him spit once while mowing the lawn when he claimed to have taken in a mouthful of gnats. But this particular spitting, the spitting done in association with the word Cacciamani, was done directly onto the cement floor of the back room of Roseman's, our family's florist shop. That floor, like everything else in my father's world, was kept meticulously clean, nary a leaf hit that floor, and so even as a child I recognized the utter seriousness of his gesture.
"Pigs," my father said, referring not to himself for what he had done to his floor but to the name that had led him to do it.
I wish I could remember the rest of this story, how the Cacciamanis had come up in the first place, but I was five. Fifty-five years later, only the highlights of such childhood memories remain.
Commentators, the people reading their opinions on the news, the people on the op-ed page of the Globe, love to say that hate is a learned thing. Children mimic the appalling racial slurs of their appalling parents, every bitter, contemptible piece of narrow-mindedness is handed down from generation to generation like so much fine family silver. I doubt it is as easy as this, as I know my own two daughters have picked up a few things in this world I will not take responsibility for, but then I think of my father and the small, shimmery pool of his spit on the floor. I hated Cacciamani with all the passionate single-mindedness of a child without even knowing what or who it was. I decided it was a fish. My father, who loved just about everything, was not a fan of fish, and so I assumed the conversation must have gone something like this:
My mother: Howard, I got some nice fresh Cacciamani for dinner tonight.
My Father: Cacciamani! [Spit] Pigs!
For the next several years I imagined pale-fleshed, rubbery bottom feeders, the dreaded Cacciamani, snuffling around blindly at the bottom of Boston Harbor. No doubt my mother intended to fry them and serve them up in a buttery lemon sauce.
When exactly I made the transition from fish to family, from family to rival florists, I don't know (again, remember, this was the distant past). It hardly ruled my life. My path did not cross with the Cacciamanis', and when it did, they had to be pointed out to me like a patch of poison ivy I could have walked right into. We did not go to the same school. Their son went to the idol-worshiping, uniform-wearing Catholic school, while my brother and I attended perfectly normal public school. Their name was rarely spoken and when it was there was a great fanfare of unexplained wrath that I gladly participated in. We were a liberal family, aware of the recent persecution of our people and therefore unlikely to persecute others. As far as I knew, the only prejudice we had was against the Cacciamanis. It didn't extend to other Catholics or all Italians, just those people, those wretched, worthless fish. A prejudice can be a lovely thing to have, which is exactly why so many people have them in the first place. A prejudice is a simplification: Every member of this group is exactly the same and therefore I never have to think about any of them. What a time-saver! Of course, it didn't save me much time because back then there were only three Cacciamanis for me to hate, a father, a mother, and the son. I remember seeing the mother at Haymarket several times on Saturdays. She was beautiful, tall and thin, with black hair and red lips. Still, I thought it was an evil sort of beauty. Then their son grew up, married, and had six children, many of whom married and had children of their own. The Cacciamani clan grew by leaps and bounds and as far as I was concerned the whole lot of them were worthless, a fact that was reinforced when Tony Cacciamani tried to marry my daughter Sandy when they were in high school.
So that was how I came to hate Cacciamanis. Now let me tell you how I stopped. It was five years ago when I came to hate my husband, Mort. Mort ran off with Lila, the thirty-eight-year-old bouquet-grasping bridesmaid he met at a wedding while delivering flowers. Apparently he met her at several weddings. She was practically a professional bridesmaid, many friends, few dates. There went Mort and Lila. After that I knew what it was to really hate someone on your own terms, for your own reasons, which is much more poignant than hating on someone else's behalf. I didn't know I had ceased to carry an axe for the Cacciamanis. There was no conscious moment: I hate Mort and so expunge the record of the Cacciamanis. I simply hadn't thought of them for years. And then one day, while attending a seminar at the downtown Boston Sheraton called "Making Your Small Business Thrive," I practically walked into a man with the name tag romeo cacciamani. I probably would have recognized his face, but I saw the name first. I steeled myself for the great wave of fury that was surely coming. I planted my feet and took a breath, but nothing, not even a twinge. What came instead was this thought: Poor Romeo Cacciamani; his shop must be going bust, too, if he's at this thing.
He tilted his head a little and squinted at me. I think Romeo Cacciamani needed glasses. "Julie Roseman," he said, reading my tag.
And there he was, a nice-looking Italian guy sitting right at sixty. He was wearing pressed khaki pants and a white polo shirt with a sprig of chest hair flourishing at the throat. No gold chains. I was so surprised by my utter lack of hostility that I wanted to laugh. I wanted to shake his hand, and I would have except I had a Styrofoam cup of hot coffee in one hand and several folders of tax spreadsheets and workmen's comp advice in the other. "Romeo Cacciamani," I said with wonder.

Now we're facing our last summer together. In September we go to college. And it's not like one of those TV shows where all of us magically turn up at the same college. We're going to four different colleges in four different cities (but all within four hours of one another, that was our one rule). We're headed off to start our real lives.
Tomorrow night at Gilda's we'll launch the Pants on their third summer voyage. Tomorrow begins the time of our lives. It's when we'll need our Pants the most.
Spend another summer with the girls of the Sisterhood.
©2005 Alloy Entertainment and Ann Brashares; (P)2005 Random House, Inc. Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group
"A strong ending to a series about four fully developed, strikingly different, equally fascinating teenage girls." (Booklist)
"Girls in Pants"
Ann Brashares has done it again. She has written a wonderful novel that makes you care even more about her characters.
In Girls in Pants we find the four Septembers in the last summer before they go their seperate ways off to college. Each girl has to overcome some obstacle during this summer, but with the help of The Pants, and her friends, each makes it through. The girls, Lena, Carmen, Tibby and B, all learn a little more about themselves through both happy and sad times.
I feel as if I really know these girls. I have come to care about the characters and want to know what happens with them. Greatly written, Girls in Pants flows along smoothly and I find myself sad when the book ends. I certainly hope this is not the last we get to read of the girls. I look forward to more!
"This is the best book on the face of the earth!"
"Amazing Series"
These series are so good, every time I am close to the end I always break out into tears. Each book is amazing. No one is better than the other. Each are so interesting and take you for a wild ride. You get to know the characters (Bee, Tibby, Carmen, and Lena) so well. I can't wait to read the next two! If you are reading this... Read these books they are amazing.
"I really love it😍😍😍😘"
I loved the book it was very lovey 😄😇😄☺😍😏it meant a lot to me 😀😀😃😀😃😃😀to read this book thank you
"Beautiful and moving"
I recommend this book, and the series, to anyone with a heart. You do not have to be a teenage American female. All you have to do is value love, self -discovery, trust, friendship and good writing.
"Very enjoyable"
Great sequel - great narrator. When it was over I felt sad, then I looked on line and YAY another Pants book!

Two Sides Trade Criticism in Rancor Over Libya Attack
Source: NYT
Caught in the uneasy nexus between politics and foreign policy, the debate over the violence in Benghazi, Libya, that claimed four American lives turned angry on Sunday as Republicans said it reflected a dangerous failure by the Obama administration to protect Americans across the region. Democrats, meanwhile, accused the Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, of cravenly trying to exploit the episode in a political witch hunt.
A Romney supporter, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said that the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi called into question a fundamental claim of the Obama administration: that with the death of Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda has been gravely weakened and Americans are safer.
The truth is, were not safer; Al Qaeda is alive and counterattacking, Mr. Graham said on the CBS program Face the Nation. He added, This whole region is about to explode; Al Qaeda is on the march.
David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the Obama campaign, pushed back hard at the criticism from those supporting Mr. Romney. From the beginning of this issue, before any facts were known, he was cravenly trying to exploit it, Mr. Axelrod said of Mr. Romney on Fox News Sunday.

1. well sure it's gonna explode
Obama was handed a ticking time bomb from Bush. Who unlike some people in war who silently kill those on the edges dodged right in the middle and we lost the war before it started..

3. Lindsey Graham Is Insane To Be Pro Al Qaeda
"we're not safer; Al Qaeda is alive and counterattacking ... Al Qaeda is on the march". Joseph McCarthy would be pleased because Graham, like McCarthy before him, has no shame.
Besides, why all of the huffing and puffing about Benghazi? Yes, 4 Americans were killed which is tragic but in the scope of things this was really a small scale attack. Compare and contrast that attack with the embassy attacks in Nairobi and Tanzania, the attack on the Cole, the marine barracks in Lebanon or 9/11 itself. For that matter compare it against the theater massacre in Aurora, CO. So it is time to get real on things like this and keep the eye on the ball. In Florida the Log Cabin Republican organization has an ad out showing the dead Ambassador's body being dragged around Libya. It shows a brain disease on the part of the Republicans to be attempting to make such hay on a minor unfortunate incident.

The poker room at the Isle Casino and Racing in Pompano Beach already has the reputation as one of the state's best, but Stan Strickland wants to make it even better.
Mike Smith opened the Isle's poker room in 2006 but left March 21 to open a new 55-table poker room at Maryland Live! Casino. Strickland, who opened the poker room at the Borgata in Atlantic City seven years ago, took over April 8 as the Isle's director of poker operations.
"This is the right move in my career at the right time," Strickland said. "Not many jobs like this open up, and it's a great room."
The Isle ranks among the top three Florida pari-mutuels in card room revenues.
Strickland would like to add games other than Texas Hold 'em to the room and offer a wider range of tournaments, he said.
"We want to appeal to all wallet sizes," said Strickland, who is credited with opening a high-limit section at the Borgata, called The Boardroom. "And we really want to bring mixed games."
Strickland, 48, grew up in Alabama and worked as a Chinese translator in the Air Force before getting hired as a poker dealer in Mississippi and moved up the ladder with Boyd Gaming for 19 years to get to the Borgata.
He said he is still evaluating the market, but has recognized that the $2-per-hand rake that card rooms for high hand jackpots pull is frustrating to some players who prefer that money be kept on the table.
"Any time you take a dollar out of a hand you have basically demoralized the game of poker," he said. "But is it a necessary evil? Yes. If everybody else is doing it, you have to compete."

Capitol Wedding: Mark & Allison's Intimate & Offbeat, Courthouse Wedding in Rockville, MD
- February 12, 2013
- One Comment
When I saw Amber Wilkie Photography post a link to this wedding on her blog, I just knew I had to have it. A bride in polka dots? An intimate, courthouse wedding ceremony? And some of the most darling portraits, full of too many smiles and laughs between a couple that is so obviously in love? I mean, come on!
Thankfully Mark & Allison were game, and fortunately Amber Wilkie was kind enough to share her gorgeous images with me. So sit back, relax, and prepare for a ton of smiles from this one Romancers.
Mark & Allison's Intimate, Offbeat Courthouse Wedding in Rockville MD
About the couple & their decision to have an intimate, courthouse wedding:
Mark and Allison met in Library school. Their first date was a Nationals Game and Mark, being the intelligent guy he is, did not know it was a date at first.
Allison wanted a small courthouse wedding for a number of reasons. Mostly because she is somewhat shy and wanted a more private ceremony. Also, small courthouse weddings are the norm in her family, so she didn't feel pressured to do anything big. They planned to have the ceremony on the Rockville Courthouse on a Friday, with an Indian buffet after the ceremony. They planned a party at Mark's parents houses the next day for all the friends and family.
Allison thought her Dad wasn't the sentimental or traditional type, but it turned out that he wanted to walk her down the aisle. So when they came into the ceremony room they walked to the back and then walked down an aisle of their own making.
Details on the amazing, polka dot, 1950s style wedding dress Allison wore:
Allison's choice was based on several criteria: not white (she hates wearing white), needs to be poofy (Allison loves historic clothing, especially hoop skirts and crinolines and in her mind fancy always means poofy), it can't be too expensive, it should be a dress that could possibly be worn again, & not strapless (woo hoo .. not strapless, a girl after my own heart)
Therefore, she landed on Whirling Turban's custom, fabric wing bust dress. Whirling Turban has been a favorite of mine for affordable, vintage wedding dress for a while. Be sure to check it out!
Fun story! The zipper broke while Allison was in the security line at the Courthouse (thank you nice lady for telling her!) so her family had to rush to the rescue to get it shut again. Her aunt found some binder clips, that luckily did not have to be used, because her cousin forced the zipper back together, only a little crooked at the top. Allison brought safety pins for the party the next day, but never needed them. Phew!

Some hard lessons learned
There are, no doubt, a number of folks involved in the Highland County school system who are breathing a sigh of relief this week. Superintendent Dr. Nancie Lightner has submitted her resignation, and it's expected to be officially accepted in the next couple of days by the school board. The embattled administrator came here three years ago with a mission to bring a measure of sophistication and accountability to the state's smallest school division. It was her first role as superintendent, and she indeed made a mark. Many would say it felt more like a welt.

*Exciting News! Salty Seattle will be featured on The Cooking Channel's Food(ography) hosted by Mo Rocca this Sunday, March 20th at 6:00pm PST, 9:00pm EDT. If you miss the premiere episode, there are repeat showings throughout the week on March 22, 26, 27, and 31. Get thee to a TeeVee and check it out. Even better, if you are in Seattle, join the party and watch with me at Pnk Ultra Lounge, 600 Pine St from 5:30-8:00pm.
This dessert will invoke the feline in you. Don't try to deny it; everyone has some cat inside, whether it's a parlor pussy with orange silk fur and a barely audible purr when you scratch just right or a snarling leopardess who attacks anything in sight with bared teeth and bucking hindquarters.
What both of those catty creatures have in common is their sultry ability to lick with gnashing abandon. This is a licking dessert. You want to slather each texture throughout your mouth. When you're finished you are left breathless, wishing you could lap up more with your over-stimulated tongue.
There is a spine of blueberry glass made to look like the stalagmites of a stegosaurus that manages to be equally stiff, porcelain, sweet, hot and cold. It's hot because it pierces the nubile crumb layer of a chocolate lava cake revealing a molten slick of seeping chocolate. It's cold because it's perched in the soft bosom of salted butterscotch ice cream that dapples the glass with smears of sweet custard.
The salted butterscotch ice cream rouses reminiscence of one high school summer. I'm riding bitch in a bikini between my boyfriend and best friend. We are on our way to a secret swimming hole. There are vinyl bench seats and the Violent Femmes belt Blister in the Sun. A drop of sweat, cold from the air whipping through the window, pools on my lip. I lick it and it tastes like fertile August, invincibility, salt. A lick that conquers fears and inspires hedonistic thoughts. That sweat. This ice cream.
Spheres of liquid blueberry quiver on the plate. Engorged udders, they wait for the gentle palpitation of fork tines to help the juice flow. The small, blue balls unloose floodgates of sticky syrup pools in delicious opposition to the sweet, brittle shards.
The molten cake is a sin that transcends gluttony. Hot like a MILF, forbidden, irresistible. Once you get inside, you close your eyes and search only with your tongue, giving in to the irresistible need to taste more of the warm, melted chocolate.
The soft down of powdered peanut brittle alights on the elements of dessert. A ski lodge in the morning before the Snow-Cats have had a chance to groom. Very fine dust gives the mountains, the trees, the vast expanses of white, an ethereal quality. Have you ever made love in the snow? There is a lot of licking.
The composition of a plate is sometimes simple and familiar, like arranging a nest of pasta under the weight of sauce. Other times, like these, an orgiastic crescendo of ingredients tumbles together and it takes restrained effort to parse them into something that is at once mind-blowing and cohesive. The search for beauty in food is not dissimilar to the hunt for true love. It can be wrought with pleasure and pain, but when you find it, when you put that perfect bite to your lips, you know it was all worth it.
Elements of Blueberry, Butterscotch, Salt and Chocolate
Serves 8
Blueberry Glass
- ½ c sugar
- ¼ c light corn syrup
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ c blueberry puree from fresh or frozen blueberries that have been blended and strained
- Place all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to boil on medium high heat. Stirring frequently, monitor the temperature of the mixture. When it reaches 300°F, quickly remove it from heat and pour onto a silpat-lined baking sheet.
- Using a spatula or two forks, spread the mixture as thin as possible, which will give more transparent glass and better texture. Allow to harden, then break into spiny shards. Reserve.
Salted Butterscotch Ice Cream
- ¾ c brown sugar
- ¼ c butter
- 2 tbsp bourbon
- 1.5 c cream
- 1.5 c whole milk
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 6 egg yolks, lightly beaten (I prefer duck)
- 2 tbsp (or to taste) large crystal finishing salt like Maldon or Cyprus Flake
- Heat butter and brown sugar together in a medium saucepan stirring frequently. Once the sugar is melted and the mixture fully combined, heat an additional two minutes for the butter to become nutty and the sugar to caramelize. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 c cream. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Add the remaining ½ c cream and the bourbon and place the bowl in an ice bath.
- Heat the milk and salt in a medium saucepan. Once it boils, pour 1/3 of it into the egg yolks. And whisk vigorously. Return the remaining milk to boil over medium heat. Pour in the yolk mixture, whisking all the while. The custard should thicken instantly using this method, so be very mindful not to overheat to the point that the eggs curdle. Remove thickened custard from heat.
- Pour custard through strainer into butterscotch cream. Stir to combine and let chill completely in ice bath. Place the chilled custard in the refrigerator to deepen the flavor for minimum 8 hours, max 12.
- Churn according to your ice cream maker's instructions. Toward the end of churning, add the finishing salt and ensure that it mixes evenly. Reserve in freezer.
Spherification of Blueberry Syrup
- 300 grams blueberries
- 100 grams sugar
- 300 grams water
- 2.4 grams sodium alginate
- 1 liter purified water
- 6.5 grams calcium chloride
- Heat the blueberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan until blueberries disintegrate into the water and the consistency is like simple syrup. Blend, then put through a strainer. Measure out 500 grams of puree and use the remainder for a different application.
- Put roughly half of the blueberry puree into an immersion blender and add the alginate. Blend to smooth, then add the rest of the puree. Make sure the alginate is fully-incorporated into the blueberries. Pour into a shallow container, which makes it easier to scoop.
- Mix the purified water with the calcium chloride in a shallow container that leaves water depth of 2-3".
- Drop blueberry puree into the calcium chloride bath using a teaspoon or tablespoon, depending on what size spheres you want. Allow "shell" to set for about one minute, then remove to a bath of pure water and reserve in water bath until ready to use. I suggest making the spheres within a half an hour of use, as the longer they sit in the water bath, the more solid the interior becomes.
For the peanut brittle powder, simply toss peanut brittle into the food processor and pulverize to dust.
For the molten lava cake, follow any basic dark chocolate lava cake recipe. I like to pour into mini-cupcake pans so that the cakes are manageable with the rest of the dessert.
To plate, set a scoop of butterscotch ice cream on one side of the plate and a lava cake adjacent. Pierce the lava cake with a shard of blueberry glass and rest glass in ice cream. Scatter a few blueberry spheres around and dust the whole thing with peanut brittle powder.

A U.S.-Israeli citizen detained in Egypt on spy suspicions since June will be released soon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement Monday. Ilan Grapel was arrested in Cairo on June 12 and has been held without charge since. Egypt's state TV confirmed that a deal was reached and said the swap would be carried out on Thursday.
Grapel, 27, was suspected by Egyptian officials of spying for Israel during the height of Egypt's uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak earlier this year. Israel and his relatives in the U.S. denied Grapel was a spy.
According to the AP, the Israeli government will convene a special Security Cabinet meeting Tuesday to approve the deal. "In the framework of Israel and Egyptian efforts and with the help of the United States, Egypt has agreed to release Ilan Grapel. Israel has agreed to release 25 Egyptian prisoners," the statement said.
Among the 25 Egyptian prisoners to be exchanged will be three teenagers from the Sinai Peninsula, according to Egyptian security officials.

What Industries Will Benefit With Job Growth From the Stimulus Plan
Where to Look For Stimulus Driven Jobs
The economy has been skidding and losing more jobs each month, but the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is designed to create jobs and eventually turn unemployment on its ugly head. The impact on employment will take some time because the exact allocation of these funds still needs to be determined, and the millions of jobs the plan is said to create will be spread over a couple of years. It took years of mistakes to get us into this mess, and we can't expect automatic miracles.
The Wall Street Journal spoke to Joanie Ruge from New York based staffing firm Adecco North America, and asked her to predict which industries will benefit most from the stimulus. She highlighted manufacturing, construction, engineering, information technology, and health care, as industries that would see job growth across all skill levels. She explained the widespread job growth like this: "Even the infrastructure jobs will create opportunities for all skill sets. For example, in construction, workers will be needed to build bridges, but engineers will also be needed to design them and project managers to oversee those projects."
To see what industries economists predict will gain jobs from the stimulus,
Going along with the example given by the staffing expert, economists believe infrastructure projects will overlap and provide new jobs with other industries such as the green sector, medical information technology, education, energy and utilities, and of course, the federal government. Consider making yourself more marketable for jobs in some of these sectors by taking a class at your local community college, reading up on trade magazines, and possibly temping at a related company to learn new skills.
