WRITING STIFF Chapter 1WRITING STIFF:Adventures in the Literary Underbelly, A MemoirChapter 1The Horse in the Hudson"Cut out a picture," said our fourth grade teacher, Miss Cobb, Dorinda Cobb, a young woman, not young compared to us fourth graders but young for an adult woman, no gray in her wavy dark brown hair yet, no wrinkles in her face, such a pretty face, her skin like milk. Miss Cobb had mentioned recently that she was twenty-nine years old which did sound old actually, it was almost as old as my mother, but Miss Cobb wasn't a mother, she wasn't even married although she'd been wearing an engagement ring with a diamond in it for the past week from a man named Clark Denklinger who kept postponing the wedding date so I still had hope. I don't mean hope of marrying Miss Cobb myself, she was much too old for me, she'd been born before World War II while I'd been born in the post-World War II baby boom which put me in a totally different generation from hers and you couldn't marry someone from a differ

A Golden MeanI'm struckdumb by you. Howstupidcan a person be to be so ignorant of thesimple fact that shaping one'sown body forthe best effect meansscaling down your over-abundant attributes while scaling up whatyou lack. Beautyis like money:you crave to have more than anyone else but you don't want to havetoo much.The rich are envied to a certain level ofwealth but beyond thatlevel they'reresented, even hated,sometimes kidnapped for ransom when not just robbed at gun-point. Celebritiesare like richfolk, being likewise rich, but they are more than merelyenvied, they areworshipped, however only to a certainpoint at which point we the littlepeople stringthem up, spit in their faces, curse them andthrow rocks, and laugh when theydrugthemselves todeath.Rich as Croesus, fine, wesalute you;greedy as Mammon, we will gouge your eyesout, skin youalive, quarteryou, dragyou through the streets, the moralbeing goahead and strive to berich but beware embarrassments ofrich

But he's not interested in being with meBut he's not interested in being with me.And that is the be all and end all of this entire problematic feat. He is not interested in being with me and I cannot make him. I never could. How do people think that they will be happy if they came across a magical mind altering method of making someone fall in love with them? I could never be happy knowing he did not really and truly love me on his own.He has his reasons and I respect that. I will not push him to see things my way. Yet that does not stop me from being hopeful. I live by a principle that if things are meant to happen, they will. If they are not supposed to happen, the universe will disengage the experience somehow. He doesn't think we would be good together and based on our past, I can understand his skepticism. To be frank, I sexually harassed him. People have this horrid misconception that it can only happen to women –well it doesn't. I did it every day and didn't even know what I was doing t

Spanish MossSpanish MossGemini BrahmsFor most of my life, I lived in Mississippi... And I can safely say, for all of my childhood. Perhaps this isn't odd for most people, to life in one place for more than a decade... But my father is in the military. As most people connected to the service, or who have seen a movie about the antisocial kid with Army parrents, people in the military move from place to place faster than bumble bees on a sugar-rush. Usually, you move to a new house, state, or even country about every two years. For us, we bounced between neighborhoods every couple years. We stayed in one house for an inordinantly long time, and the only reason we moved is because it needed to be torn down after Katrina. Honnestly, we were shocked it had stayed up that long in the first place... It was infested with not only termites but carpenter ants. This was what I look at as my childhood home. Where I grew up. A cream-colored two-story with a red roof. It had two whole flights of stairs that I
UntitledDoing TimeI guess I am just feeling generous. I found this old red corset that you can see on me and it feels so good. It takes me back to when I was straight jacketed my first time in prison. I had gone biserk and was lashing out at everyone.Just wish I had someone here to tighten it more. Oh well.Back to my time in Ukraine.Each morning a hooter would go about 6 am. We had to get up and were led into an indoor running track. After a few stretches we had a half hour run and if we were slow another half hour. It could get very cold in there in winter time and we shivered so much. There was a strict rule of no talking during training.After the run it was bra and thong off into a box and we had to walk single file through a series of showers which were at best luke warm. You were supposed to pick up a lump of soap but they were so hard and did not lather in the cold water. After drying as much as one could it was either on with the undies or every other day you went to the laundry ha
WRITING STIFF Chapter 2WRITING STIFF:Adventures in the Literary Underbelly, A MemoirChapter 2The Creation of AdamI met Peter Pan. This was a couple of years earlier when we were living on Old Long Ridge Road in Stamford, Connecticut. It was shortly after the show Peter Pan was broadcast on national television. I didn't just enjoy Peter Pan, I wasn't just dazzled by it, I was overwhelmed by it. Except that overwhelmed suggests being crushed under a weight and what I felt when Peter Pan went airborne in the Darling kids' bedroom and sang I'm Flying and then the kids flew, too, was weightlessness. I was flying myself. Overcome is a better word than overwhelmed to describe my state of mind, heart, and body during and after watching Peter Pan overcome in the sense of being engorged with faith, hope, and charity along with sadism, villainy, and dread.Tights were big in Peter Pan. Peter Pan and Captain Hook both wore tights. I had an old pair of green long underwear which I used for my own tights. If I

How to Make a Small Paper House
Edited by Glutted, Teresa, Sondra C, Maluniu and 19 others
Here's how to make a small house out of just paper and water.
Edit Steps
1Get a bunch of paper. A notebook might be good to take out paper. Take a sheet of paper and put it in some water. Make sure you get it really wet.
2Slowly take out some water while mashing up the paper. Eventually you should have a ball of wet paper that has the consistency of Play Dough. If you don't, add or take out some water so the paper can absorb it and break up even more.
3Make the paper ball into a little line, sort of like a worm, once you get into a clay-like substance.
4Lay it down on a plate or tray so you can make the small house and put it out in the sun later. Keep making little lines out of more wet paper. Eventually you should have about 3 lines that make a square that's missing one side, or at least a piece of a side.
5Make more lines, and put them vertically on the corners of the "square".
6After each corner has a line on it, start mixing more "Play Dough" and instead of making more lines, just make them into little blocks or flat blocks, these will be your walls. Put them on the vertical lines until you have a cube that's missing 2 faces (top and one of the sides)
7Make the roof however you want, but be creative on this one.
8Leave the house out to dry in the sun.
Edit Video
Edit Tips
- Remember to be creative, and don't let it get TOO wet after it dries or it can fall apart.
- You don't have to just use plain paper, if you don't want. Make it sort of tie dye with food coloring, or just buy colored paper.
- Don't forget to give your house some people to live in.
- This is just an example of how to build a paper house. It's a very fun hobby and there's no way you can mess up because its how YOU want it.
- If you want, you can make a mini tray and stick it to the bottom of your house (make sure the bottom of the house is wet so it'll stay stuck when it dries) and put fertilizer in it so you can grow plants in it.

Read the 2013 APSAD Abstracts Now
Read all the accepted APSAD 2013 Conference abstracts by downloading a copy of the Drug & Alcohol Review here (Media: Please note that abstracts are embargoed until the day of presentation).
Updated conference program now available
On behalf of the Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs, I am pleased to invite you to join us in Brisbane for the 2013 APSAD Conference.
The conference title, Bridging Knowledge and Practice, was chosen by the Scientific Program Committee to reinforce APSAD's commitment to evidence based medicine and practice.
This conference, being held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from Sunday 24 – Wednesday 27 November 2013, will feature an exciting program which includes international and national speakers, focussing on new treatment, prevention and policy in the areas of drugs and alcohol research. The conference will include local issues and content relevant to our region, but will also offer a range of presentations and workshops that have international relevance. Featuring original work from the field, the conference program will continue to encourage alternative presentation styles such as film, yarning circles and artwork whilst maintaining conventional modes of presentation such as oral and poster presentations, participatory workshops, debates/discussions and late breakers. This year we will also be targeting clinicians and front line workers, with translational research as well as continuing to include the latest content from criminal justice system interventions, workforce development, research, and health policy, to mention just a few topic areas.
The Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre is located in a unique urban cultural and entertainment precinct in the heart of Brisbane. Brisbane is a diverse city – a green city with a great climate. It is a growing city with one of the fastest growing economies in Australia. It is a city of many small quirks from having a very personal style of building (the 'Queenslander') to creating a swimming beach right in the middle of the CBD. The population of Brisbane has reached 1.8 million, making it the third largest city in Australia.
From APSAD Council and the Scientific Program Committee we hope you are able to join us in Brisbane, Queensland for the 2013 APSAD conference.

Jamie Foxx, Affion Crockett Series Given Summer Green Light On Fox Network
Jamie Foxx, Affion Crockett Series Airs This Summer

I often see bumpers of Japanese and Korean cars riddled with "Still have a job? Keep buying foreign" and reading websites saying we should concentrate on buying local to support those around us. Not that I disagree with either statement, but I think we can do better

If you're not serious about finding love, DON'T message me. I love making friends, but I am looking for a long term relationship.
I guess I'm here because the bar scene isn't a regular place that I visit. I've tried "bumping" into cute men at the grocery store and all it got me was some bruised fruit... (kidding).
I'm ready to find my best friend, but the male version. I'm looking for long term with marriage possibilities. If you don't have a picture of you on your profile, it makes me wonder.... what are you hiding?
Some random info about me:
I'm a sucker for a great smile
I don't have a "type"
I coach soccer with my sister
I play soccer
For some reason I love watching sports, even if it's two teams I know nothing about, I'll watch it
Basketball is one sport that I don't watch much of
I think I have a great smile
I don't smoke and prefer someone who doesn't
I love my family and we're close
I have 2 nieces
I have no kiddos
I have no ex man drama
Love live music
Want a travel partner
Sometimes I'm a little OCD
I don't drink coffee
I use kik messenger lovelaughter1712
Snapchat username jen.t17
I guess I should stop before you get bored.
I hope to hear from a man who's ready for the possibility of love.

Peter, Paul and Mary
Peter, Paul and Mary
The most popular folk group of the 1960s, Peter, Paul and Mary in later decades have also proved themselves to be among the most durable music acts in history. Their longevity dwarfs that of the Weavers, while the fact that the trio continues to be associated with a major record label (Warner Bros.) after decades in the business sets them apart from rivals like the Kingston Trio and the Brothers Four. Then again, perhaps it isn't so surprising -- Peter, Paul and Mary's roots run deeper than almost any other folk act one might care to name, while their appeal crosses audience lines that other acts couldn't (and can't) even approach.

Gerding Edlen lands $29M from TIAA-CREF
- Wendy Culverwell, Business Journal staff writer
Portland's storied green developer has a new partner with very deep pockets.
Gerding Edlen Development Co. has closed a $29.8 million investment from TIAA-CREF, a New York investment giant, for its Green Cities I Fund L.P.
Gerding Edlen launched the $500 million equity fund a year ago to invest in well-located properties at rock-bottom prices. It has raised approximately $75.3 million and expects to close the fund next June.
To date, Green Cities has invested in two California apartment complexes and a development site in the heart of San Francisco it bought in November for $9 million.
Gerding Edlen has refrained from commenting publicly on the fund, citing Securities and Exchange Commission rules against promoting funds during active fund-raising. A company executive said TIAA-CREF's dollars will be commingled with the other money raised.
In early November, TIAA-CREF said it would invest $50 million alongside Good Energy in companies that meet its sustainability targets. Officials weren't immediately available to discuss how Gerding Edlen fits its investing goals, but the firm is one of the leading green builders in the U.S. with about four dozen LEED-rated projects to its credit.
TIAA-CREF has $410 billion in assets under management. As of Sept. 30, 2009, it held more than 400 properties in the U.S. and Europe in its real estate portfolio, with a collective value of $15 billion.
TIAA-CREF (Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association - College Retirement Equities Fund) has become an active player in Oregon in recent years.
In 2009, it was tapped to manage the Oregon College Savings Plan after the previous manager, Oppenheimer Funds, came under fire.
In November, it acquired Park 19, a 101-unit apartment building, 550 N.W. 19th St., in Northwest Portland, for $28.8 million, one of the larger transactions of the year to date.

Imaging Breast Cancer With Light
Researchers unveil 'photoacoustic mammoscope' (October 23)
Researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands have developed a new imaging tool that may one day help detect breast cancer early, when it is most treatable.
If effective, the new device, called a photoacoustic mammoscope, would represent a new way of imaging the breast and detecting cancer. Instead of X-rays, which are used in traditional mammography, the mammoscope uses a combination of infrared light and ultrasound to create a 3-D map of the breast. The device is described in Biomedical Optics Express, a journal of The Optical Society.
In the new technique, infrared light is delivered in billionth-of-a-second pulses to breast tissue, where it is scattered and absorbed. The high absorption of blood increases the temperature of blood vessels slightly, and this causes them to undergo rapid expansion. While imperceptible to the patient, this expansion generates detectable ultrasound waves, which are used to create a 3-D map of the breast vasculature. Since cancer tumors have more blood vessels than the surrounding tissue, they are distinguishable in this 3-D image.
The researchers say that a prototype of the new device will be ready for clinical testing next year.

Iranians produced metal oxide-resistant nanosensors and investigated their electrical characteristics by using thin layer nanostructures and nanopowders by Iranian researchers from
The nanosensors can be used for the prompt detection of fungi,
The aim of the research was to develop a system by using the electronic properties of some types of metal oxides to detect gases emitted from different materials. The system will be used for the speedy detection of the grown fungi in foodstuff.
SnO2, ZnO and CuO nanolayers were firstly deposited in this research through spray pyrolysis method. Then, the nanopowders of each materials were synthesized through various methods, including sol-gel and co-precipitation.
In the next stage, Aspergillus niger fungi was placed in contact with nanolayers and nanopowders. Finally, a system was designed and electrical resistances of the nanosystems were measured in the presence of gases emitted by the fungi.
The researchers also studied effective parameters such as time, temperature and other physical conditions on the changes in electrical resistance of the sample nanosensor.
The research may have applications in food packaging, including cans, breads that are packed in the place of production, other places that produce foodstuff, storerooms where initial livestock foodstuff are kept and other places where this type of fungi or other microscopic mold may grow.
Results of the research have been published in details in Scientia Iranica, vol. 20, issue 3, pp. 1,055-1,058.

The World Health Organization is working to address unmet needs for mental health care in low- and middle-income countries, but a lack of research is making it hard to prioritize disorders and understand how best to reach individuals in need of care.
When it comes to nonviolent drug offenses, systems that favor treatment over incarceration not only produce better health outcomes, they save money, too. It's yet another example of how investing in public health and prevention yields valuable returns on investment.
Researchers compare the calories purchased by teenagers at McDonald's versus Subway.
The residents of Battlement Mesa didn't want their "Colorado Dream" to turn into a nightmare because of a proposed hydrofracking project. They turned to a Health Impact Assessment for help.
Earlier this month, Florida lawmakers wrapped up their latest legislative session. And nearly 500 miles south of Tallahassee in Miami-Dade County, workers' rights advocates breathed yet another sigh of relief.
On Feb. 13, 2012, Honey Stecken gave birth to her daughter Maren. Everything appeared perfectly fine — she ate and slept and did all the things a baby does. Even after a couple weeks at home in South Fork. Colo., with her newborn little girl, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Another day, another study that shows investing in public health interventions can make a serious dent in health care spending. A new study has found that banning smoking in all U.S. subsidized housing could yield cost savings of about $521 million every year.
Eric Rodriguez and his colleagues at the Latino Union of Chicago quite literally meet workers where they're at — on the city's street corners. Many of the day laborers who gather there are hired to work construction at residential housing sites. Work arrangements are hardly formal and day laborers are frequently subjected to unnecessary and illegal dangers on the job. Unfortunately, worker safety is often kicked to the curb in the street corner marketplace.
Cracking down on deadbeat bosses: Wage theft victory a milestone in Chicago's worker center movement
For Angel Nava, Chicago's newly adopted wage theft ordinance is particularly personal. Until recently, Nava had worked at the same car wash business in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood for 14 years. The 55-year-old employee did it all — washing, detailing, buffing — for about 50 hours each week. Then, his boss decided to stop paying overtime.
Researchers with Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab observe diners' behavior to predict the number of trips they'll make to the buffet at all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurants.

Otley shoppers can learn about guide dogs
9:00am Monday 9th September 2013 in Local news
Guide Dog puppies will be delighting shoppers in Otley again this month.
Puppies in training and adult animals will join volunteers from the charity's Leeds and District branch when they hold a fundraising stall at Otley Buttercross on Saturday, September 21.
Home-made produce, books, gifts and a tombola will be available from the stall between 9am and noon, while a street collection is held in the town centre.
The volunteers will also be talking to visitors about the vital role guide dogs, and the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, perform in helping blind and partially-sighted people lead more independent lives.

It doesn't, It works like a magnet but there is no polarity. All objects in space are pulled together, the reason they seem like they are getting farther is because Space/Time expands. Its weird all objects have a tendency to meet in the middle however they also have a tendency to get farther away. Honestly we really don't know. Its like energy we can describe it we know how it works but we have no rightful fucking idea what the fuck it is really, we can't see nor hold it but we know it exists yet we can't explain it.
Its a fucking head trip, most physics are based on observations however we can only observe things in a 3 dimensional world, that's all kosher except there are way more dimensions in three.
Honestly you are never going to have your answer explained your question falls under theoretical physics.

Two House Dems demand Lerner resignation after using lobbyist to stage modified limited hangout
posted at 4:49 pm on May 17, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
What's worse than a high-ranking federal bureaucrat dishonestly setting up a planted question in order to stage a modified limited hangout in order to downplay an explosive scandal coming on quickly? Using a lobbyist to do it:
Celia Roady, a lobbyist in the firm of Morgan Lewis, said she was called personally by Lois Lerner, the IRS head of the tax exempt division, on May 9.
"I received a call from Lois Lerner, who told me that she wanted to address an issue after her prepared remarks at the [American Bar Association] Tax Section's Exempt Organizations Committee Meeting, and asked if I would pose a question to her after her remarks," Roady said in a statement to U.S. News and World Report. "I agreed to do so, and she then gave me the question that I asked at the meeting the next day. We had no discussion thereafter on the topic of the question, nor had we spoken about any of this before I received her call. She did not tell me, and I did not know, how she would answer the question."
Remember when Barack Obama pledged to reduce the influence of lobbyists in his administration? Less than five years later, his administration's using them to set up alibis. Hopenchange!
No wonder two House Democrats want Lerner's resignation tout suite:
Reps. Joe Crowley (D-Queens) and Sander Levin (D-Mich), top Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee, on Friday demanded the resignation of Lois Lerner, head of the IRS division overseeing tax-exempt organizations.
Lerner, who heads the IRS division that includes the Cincinnati office responsible for singling out conservative groups seeking tax exempt status for scrutiny, worked to put a stop to the practice.
But she faces fire for failing to tell Congress about the problem, including at a hearing held just two days before she apparently used a planted question at a American Bar Association event to try to control news of the scandal.
The New York Daily News offers this uncharacteristic bit of understatement:
The apparent flubbed effort to soften the impact of the IG's report irked lawmakers in both parties.

Habitat For Humanity
COSHOCTON , OHIO (Coshocton Tribune) - Habitat For Humanity volunteer Jason Pope is happy to give back to the ministry that gave to him. Following the Coshocton County Fair in 2009, lifelong Coshocton County resident, Pope and his wife, Sherri, applied for a Habitat for Humanity house. "The fair was what really got me into knowing a lot about what Habitat is about," Pope said. He'd also heard about Habitat from two families where he works. Jason admitted he wasn't sure he'd qualify. In April 2010, the Popes and their daughter moved into their new home. "We'd never be able to afford a house, but with Habitat we were able to get one," Pope said. "It is a hand up. It's not a handout." Habitat requires its partners to contribute 300 sweat equity hours. Most families, after they've fulfilled their obligation, stop working for Habitat. Pope and his family, however, have continued to volunteer. "It is encouraging to have a partner family go the extra mile of giving to help others," said Sue Hardesty, executive director of Coshocton County Habitat for Humanity. "I don't know what we'd do without him." Pope volunteers his time at the Habitat for Humanity's Restore. He drives the truck, makes sure the store is ready to open, schedules all the pickups and donations, helps in the management of the store, oversees operations and works on the website and Facebook page for the store. Pope said his wife and daughter, Sara, who will be a junior this year at Coshocton County Career Center, also help out when the store needs extra help. He said it is important for children to see their parents involved in volunteer work. For Pope, his decision to stay on as a volunteer was an easy one. "They give you a lot of praise for what you do," Pope said. "You have a sense of accomplishment." "It's a wonderful organization to get involved in," Pope said. "When we first started our sweat equity hours, we were not used to so much praise. We believe in having fun and getting it done." "He's been a blessing," Hardesty said. "After his sweat equity hours, he stayed on. He runs it like a manager." Hardesty said Pope has been a godsend. Pope, who has been working for Hopewell School (Coshocton County Board of Developmental Disabilities) since 1999, has found volunteer work to be rewarding. Recently, he started volunteering for the food pantry at New Life Miniseries. He helps with packing the groceries and handing out food from the pantry. "My grandma volunteers down there," Pope said. "Both my grandmas do a lot of volunteering. ... One day, I went down there to see what it is all about."

For the cost of what you have in the dish, you may want to ask if it is worth you or your family getting really sick? I will still throw out $1 worth of food to avoid the porcelain goddess. |
Need Recipe: "Better" Green Bean Casserole Hard to get away from the salt and fat but easy to get away from the ucky canned, soggy and hydrogenated oil recipe. The amount of each ingredient depends on how many the recipe is supposed to serve. Using a mandolin, thinly slice your choice of onions/shallots, dredge in flour and kosher salt. Flash fry (umm, peanut oil is best at high heat) until golden and set aside on rack in warm oven so they don't get soggy. Clean and cut up green beans into bite size pieces. Steam using lightly salted water until tender/crisp and then ice bath to retain texture and color. Drain well. Retain steaming liquid. Saute variety of mushrooms in butter and grape seed oil. Set aside, including any liquor in pan. In the same sauté pan, heat 1 part butter and 1 part flour, whisking continuously. Heat 1 part half and half to hot, not boiling. I use the microwave at 1 minute per cup. Season hot ½ & ½ with ½ teaspoon of mushroom bouillon paste (think Better than Bouillon or similar) per 1 cup part and whisk into roué until smooth. Combine all, including cooking liquid, using only some of the onions, into casserole and season with pepper to taste. Top with more of the onion crispies and bake until bubbly and browned on top, about 30 minutes at 350F. |
FORT MYERS, CAPE CORAL -- Need recommendations for TOP PICKS Thanks for the Shannon tip. Been wondering where he would emerge. I agree with you on Bert's. Even the hamburgers are great. |
If you are going to use for cooking, freezing works. I simply would not use for cheese board after that. |
Yuppers, had to unsubscribe also. Got inbox crowd from them. |
I have not had the op to do a small TG (all family still in one state). However, I love turkey and stuffing, so I have come up with ways to cook it small. Use an 8x8 baking pan for the stuffing and bake either thigh and/or a wing directly on top of the stuffing. Keep the veggie simple, just cook your favorite or go ahead and have a simple yet great salad. Cranberries can be bought fresh, made into sauce and freeze remaining into portions for 1 or 2 for another time. For dessert, I have a Fresh Market nearby and they always have a great and delish selection. My main point of Thanksgiving is to be around family and friends around that make you feel happy and to give thanks for having them in your life. I sincerely hope your Thanksgiving is what is important to you. |
What should I make for a toddler's outdoor birthday picnic? I would go with chicken fingers that can be served hot or chilled, maybe some hot dogs, a nice salad for the big kids and whatever kind of cut up raw veggies with dip for the little ones. If the party is for the kids, they probably won't pay too much attention to the food. The salad and veggies can be chilled in coolers and the hot box should be able to handle the rest. |
Rice -- a compromise b/t white and brown, parboiled recs? Although this originally started back in '08, maybe this will help. I also recommend the Kashi. It takes longer to cook, but worth it. Try adding some seasoning into it; use a good stock instead of water, onions and mushrooms are another option, and try some herbs that mesh with whatever you are serving with it. I have also "sauteed" the mix with oil before adding liquid to keep it from sticking. Forbidden rice is a whole different taste and texture. There should be an oriental specialty store somewhere in your area. It is more expensive. But occasionally, being a CH allows you to play and pay a bit more with your food. ;-) |
I use leftover chicken to make enchiladas. Really turns out good if you use a quality sauce and dip the tortillas before stuffing with chicken, beans, onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Save some of the sauce and cheese to top and bake about 20 mins at 350. |

SW Floridian looking for some good eats near O'Hare Yes, I am referring to the West Higgins Road location. And I am willing to taxi or public trans.

SW Floridian looking for some good eats near O'Hare I will be attending a convention at Marriott O'Hare the first weekend in August and will have only Friday night free to experience dining out of the hotel.

Cumin-Coriander Chicken - outstanding! Sounds like a great culinary adventure! Making it tonight. I also have everything except for the cilantro and mint - easily remedy. Cooking for two, so will cut in half. |
Good Places Ft. Myers to Naples/Bonita We Might Not Know? Hey Nosh, |
Good food shopping near/in Kissimmee area? There are 2 Total Wine stores in Orlando. They will not only have the best prices, they will have the largest selection. We have one in Ft Myers and it is my go to store for anything liquor. If you are in Orlando for a meal, try Tu Tu Tango on International Dr (I Drive to the locals). It is all tapas and they usually have local artists displayed along with some fun entertaining, like belly dancers. Still clean enough to bring the kids, if you have any with you. |
Your secrets to crispy chicken skin The crispiest skin I have gotten is by using chicken thighs. I heat a stainless skillet to MH, season the skins using S&P, thyme and rubbed sage and put the thighs in skin down and leave them until they are loose from the pan. Season the undersides same as the top, flip and cook for 5 more minutes. Then I place in the oven at 350F until done. The fat will render out and by pouring it off, leaving the thighs to rest on another platter, there is a lot of delicious brown bits (frons) to make a sauce or gravy with. |
Hi 411, |
Need a Funny Cook Book for a gift... My son got that one for me as a gift - i especially love the "Meat Magnets". |
Cocktail suggestions for rhubarb schnapps? The only thing that comes to mind is to try for a version of strawberry rhubarb pie...with a Chambord twist... One part each of the schnapps, Chambord & vanilla vodka, shake, strain into graham cracker & sugar mix rimmed martini glass & top with two parts soda. |
Hey, Lisa, BUT - this wings technique is one to put in the folder - I love the stuffing even more that the whole turkey! Give your butcher a great big thanks for that! More convenient than doing the whole bird. |
Hair-of-the dog brunch recipes? French toast with grand marnier in the egg mixture. If you can get some orange rind, that would add to it, also. |
I want to cook for a girl I like. Would really appreciate some thoughts =) Hey Ryan, For lots of people, a slow cooked oven meal like brisket or pulled pork is easy and gets raves. |
Looks like everyone has pitched in and you should be able to get along well with this list. I'll give it another 2nd for filling your prescriptions and having at least 500 in cash on hand. Living on the Gulf coast in 2004 & 2005 taught me well... |
I rinsed off the sugar from the candied ginger in a pinch...mostly I keep knuckles of fresh in the freezer and the use my microplane to taste. |
Very very easy dessert for large groups This cake is so simple and sinfully chocolate: Texas Sheet Cake • 2 cups all-purpose flour In a medium saucepan combine 1 cup butter, 1/3 cup cocoa, and 1 cup of water. Don't exactly know where I got the recipe, but was always glad I had on hand. Note: do not cover the cake or it will get very gooey. |
can bacon be cooked in a microwave?? Yes, you can. But, as you can see by the threads, you need the correct technique. I feel this applies to all things cooking. My father sold Tappan microwaves and we had one of the original ones in our house in 1960. He was continuously working on his technique for in-store demos, and you would be surprised at the range of foods you can prepare in the microwave with great results. Whole turkey, meatloaf, stuffed green peppers and any type of casserole. I personally prefer steamed broccoli and asparagus in the microwave over any other cooking method. A browning element in a microwave helps with the "grey" meat syndrome. The only things that I will not cook in a microwave are bread and cakes. |
Rain Organic Vodka, Rocks, look at vermouth and "never mind", garnish with "Buttermilk Blue" cheese stuffed Queens. Lots of ice... |
Try asking for something "neat". Should provide some fun. |
What kind of ham for a pot of beans? I agree with all of the wonderful ideas on hambones, bacon and anything else smoked & salted. Another layer of flavor that I keep on had is, when I render bacon, I pour off the fat & add some water to the frypan to get the little brown bits (fronds). Use a small container and put them in the freezer to grab when beans or legumes of any kind are on the menu. If you brown the hambone, then same suggestion; make sure to get the fronds into the pot. Thanks for the suggestion to get some meaty bones from HBH!!! Must go on shopping list! |
Need help with cake recipe - followed directions - must be technique Thanks so much! Figured technique was it. Took some time to get through the post, but was well worth it. There were several directions left out. First was the beating of the eggs and sugar over hot water for at least 10 minutes. Second was to use a balloon to fold in flour, followed by tempering the butter with batter before incorporation. Now that I have more info, will go back at it. |

TV Review: The Legend of Korra – 7
"Uh, sorry! I forgot I'm supposed to airsit…I mean babybend…I mean babysit the airbender kids! See ya later!"
The Aftermath
The seventh episode of The Legend of Korra, "The Aftermath," deals with Korra's relationship with Asami and with secrets involving Asami's father, Hiroshi Sato, and his business. The episode starts off with Korra offering Mako and Bolin to come live on Air Temple Island after what happened at the arena in the previous episode, but they tell her that they have already agreed to live with Asami in her father's mansion.
Meanwhile, Chief Lin and her Metalbending police Force raid the Cabbage Corp, a rival company to Sato's Future Industries, find Equalist posters and weapons. The writers threw all the Avatar: The Last Airbender fans a bone by having the Cabbage Corp. owner, a decedent of the hilarious Cabbage merchant of the first series, say "NOT MY CABBAGE CORP!"
As the police continue to question all persons involved with the attack on the pro-bending arena, Korra talks to Tahno, the former Wolf Bats leader who lost his bending due to Amon in the previous episode. Korra feels bad that he lost his bending and Tahno asks her to defeat Amon.
Korra then goes to the Sato estate to join Mako, Bolin and Asami, where she overhears a suspicious phone conversation with Hiroshi Sato claiming that it was the right moment to strike. Korra, suspecting that Sato is working with the Equalists, quickly informs Tenzin and Lin of this, who claim that his support of the Equalists might be caused by the fact that his wife was killed by the fire-bending Agni Kai gang that raided his home twelve years earlier.
Despite Bolin, Mako and Asami's annoyance with Korra's accusations, they do receive information from one of his workers that Sato has a secret factory hidden under his home that he uses to create weapons for the Equalists. They return to the estate and Lin discovers the underground factory.
There, they meet Hiroshi and other Equalist fighters and are trapped in the factory. Hiroshi shows them the newest invention for the Equalists: large, mechanical suits that are unaffected by metalbending due to the pure platinum alloy and will give Equalists a huge advantage in battle.
Korra, Tenzin, Lin and the metalbending police are all quickly defeated by the machines, but Mako and Bolin arrive and attempt to rescue Korra, Tenzin and Lin. However, as they are spotted and threatened by Hiroshi, Asami arrives to witness everything her father has been doing behind her back. Hiroshi apologizes to her and asks her to join the Equalists, but Asami attacks her father and helps Mako and Bolin rescue Korra, Tenzin and Lin.
The episode ends with Korra inviting Mako, Bolin and Asami to Air Temple Island, as well as Lin telling Tenzin that she would resign and look for the men she lost to Amon "outside the law."
Overall, the episode did an excellent job of giving us background on Asami and establishing her relationship with Korra, Mako and Bolin. While Korra is originally hostile towards Asami due to her feelings for Mako, Korra begins to warm up to her and feels sorry for her when she discovers the truth about Hiroshi's actions. It also gives us an insight on Asami's character development and the conflicts she will face regarding her father's betrayal.
While Asami has had little dialogue and screen time compared to everyone else, the episodes still made a point of showing her importance and inclusion to the main group. This is similar how the original series handled characters like Suki, who did not have much screen time or dialogue as the main characters but was still an essential part of the Aang Gang. So, I hope that with the improved relationship with Korra, the group dynamic and friendships will improve as they continue to face problems.
Also, the plot twist involving Hiroshi creating metal machines for the Equalists seems like the final build-up for the rest of the series.
With the pro-bending championships completed and the battle against the Equalists solidified, most of the build-up for the series is mostly done as Mako, Bolin and Asami move to Air Temple Island and Korra hopes to resume her airbending training. Hopefully, the show will put the focus back on Korra training to become a better Avatar in order to help Republic City and that Mako, Bolin and Asami help her along the way.
This episode brought back another set of amazing, not pro-bending fight and action scenes towards the end, featuring nearly all types of bending and fighting styles. One of the most amazing parts was seeing Lin using "seismic sense," or the "seeing with your feet" technique that Toph was used in the original series.
This showed that Lin really learned everything from Toph and showed her do a different move from her usual metalbending, which was also obvious throughout the rest of the series.
Also, it was the first time we get to see Tenzin's airbending in action, even though it was very brief. However, his airbending was very great to see, especially since I noticed it was different from Aang's style; while obviously following the basic tenants and peaceful of airbending shown by Aang, Aang's movements were more quick and unpredictable but Tenzin's movements seem much more fluid and focused, which might reflect his upbringing with Katara and her waterbending.
From what we have seen of airbending, it will be obvious that both Tenzin and Korra will treat it differently from each other and different from Aang; Tenzin will be much more decisive with his airbending than Aang was while Korra, being the aggressive character that she is, will focus her airbending in both offense and defense. However, the airbending has been very limited in the series so far, and I hope we get to see more training and actual airbending from Tenzin and Korra soon.
However, the episode did seem very forced and all over the place throughout the whole thing, making it feel slightly unfocused. Since it did seem to serve as build-up for the next few episodes, it still threw the entire Sato plotline and Asami character development in our face. While her character was done really well, it still felt as if there was not proper set-up and background from previous episodes, rather it was all given to us at one go. While this happened to other characters in the original series, I was hoping that the series would take its time in providing background and character development.
Finally, I think that the entire love triangle between Korra, Mako and Asami is getting overplayed and is overshadowing other major aspects of the plot in a way that did not happen in the original series. In the original series, while the romance played a part throughout the whole show, it was never something that took away from the main story. However, in Korra, especially in this episode, it seemed to be unnecessarily made obvious by Korra's actions and Mako's comments. Also, it has made Mako slightly unlikeable, for me at least; while he is still a great character, his hostility and mistrust of Korra in this episode was annoying and his accusations of jealousy seemed unfair and petty, especially since he should have been able to trust Korra as a teammate and friend.
In the end, I still think it was a good episode but not the greatest episode of the series; it was rather forced and the plot was slightly unimpressive compared to previous episodes. It served more as build-up for upcoming episodes, rather than acting as a great stand-alone episode.
GO Rating: 3/5
