Omerta Code and the Irish Church

Justice Minister Alan Shatter and Minister for Children and Youth Affair, Frances Fitzgerald take questions about the Cloyne Report last Wednesday. |
We've heard it all before, the shocking behavior of priests, the numbers involved, the failure to act on complaints, the indifference of the bishops and the Vatican.
It's a familiar litany from previous reports, like the ones on dioceses in Wexford and Dublin. This latest one was on the Cork diocese of Cloyne, and it had added interest because the bishop involved was a Vatican insider for years.
Bishop John Magee had been private secretary and assistant to three popes (Paul VI, John Paul I and John Paul II). He was clearly destined for even higher office in Rome until, in what seemed a curious development at the time in 1987, he was sent back to Ireland to be a local bishop.
There was speculation back then that he might have a blot on his record and that they wanted to get him out of the Vatican. We don't know if that was so.
But we do know that after his return to Ireland the then Magee himself engaged in what this report called "inappropriate behavior" with a young aspirant clerical student. This was considered by the judge who produced this report to be a "boundary" issue rather than abuse (the bishop tightly hugged the young man for over a minute on several occasions when they were alone and is alleged to have kissed him on the head).
It may have been entirely innocent, or it may have been the actions of a deeply repressed older man seeking physical contact. But as the report says, it was inappropriate.
This, and the fact that the bishop, who resigned last year, is currently thought to be hiding somewhere in the U.S., gave this report added interest here.
But the main reason the Cloyne Report became such a big story in Ireland last week was because this was not about stuff that had happened 30 or 40 years ago. This was mainly about events in the decade up to 2009, the period which followed the introduction of the new protocol for child protection put in place by the Catholic Church in Ireland in 1996 after the national outcry about the initial shocking revelations of abuse.
We were told at that time by the Irish bishops that the new guidelines and systems meant that such appalling abuse would never happen again, and that all cases in the future would be reported to the police immediately instead of being handled internally by the Catholic Church.
In spite of this, however, last week's report showed that the new guidelines were not followed in Magee's area in Cork. In the diocese of Cloyne -- and for all we know in other dioceses as well -- it was the same old crap, with abusing priests being protected, with cases not being referred to the police and with victims being hushed up, sidetracked and ignored. Yet again the church had behaved as if it was a law unto itself.
It's important to keep in mind that this is a state report, not a church report, and that the investigation commission was directed by a judge. What is contained in the 340-page report is beyond question and it is absolutely damning of the Catholic Church, both in Ireland and in Rome.
You can see the full report and the main findings on the web, under Cloyne Report. What will strike you immediately is the way the report makes clear that Magee never really accepted the new protocols and procedures put in place in 1996 to prevent abuse. Two-thirds of the complaints about abuse in the Cloyne diocese between 1996 and 2008 were not referred to the police.
Magee had also lied about what was happening. He told the then minister for children that the guidelines were being implemented in Cloyne. He told the Health Service Executive (the national health service which has a statutory responsibility in dealing with abuse) that all complaints and alleged cases were being referred to the police.
An issue that should have been a top priority in every diocese in Ireland after 1996 was treated by Magee with a sort of distant disdain. Instead of getting directly involved in implementing the new measures himself, Magee passed the job on to an underling, an elderly priest who had the same sort of attitude to the issue as Magee himself.
In doing so and in his behavior in general, Magee was reflecting an attitude that still exists in some quarters in the Catholic Church in Ireland and elsewhere. This attitude involves a reluctance to accept that the church has to follow state rules, and an instinctive feeling that abuse cases can be dealt with internally in the church. It's an attitude that regards the behavior of priests as church business, and resents any "outside" interference by the state.
Magee's years in Rome may have made him lean more towards this attitude than other bishops here, and certainly he appears to have been encouraged in this direction by the stance of the Vatican and the present Pope. This is probably one of the most shocking findings in the Cloyne Report.
It says that a secret letter from the Vatican was sent to the Irish bishops in which it described their new abuse protocol and procedures put in place in 1996 (including immediate referral to the police) as not official church policy, but merely a document to be discussed and studied.
The report is highly critical of this attitude by the Vatican, pointing out that it probably encouraged dissenting bishops like Magee to continue on as they had before. So the Cloyne Report is not just revealing about a diocese in Cork and the Irish Catholic Church in general, it's also further evidence that the core of this problem goes to the heart of the Church in the Vatican.
In Magee's case, it probably allowed him to believe that he was right when, as the report reveals, he continued to defend an abusing priest even though he knew the priest was lying.
All of this led to unprecedented outrage here last week. Even though we have gotten used to this stuff to some extent, this time it was different.
This is the fourth state report on abuse in the Catholic Church in Ireland since the mid '90s -- one each on Dublin and Wexford, one on abuse in Catholic institutions and this one on Cloyne in Cork.
Each one provoked outrage, but it wasn't just people who were angry this time. It was the government as well.
The day after the report was published last week the Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore called in the Papal Nuncio (the Vatican's Ambassador) and let him know how displeased the government was at what amounted to Vatican meddling in criminal matters in Ireland. One senior Fine Gael politician called for the Nuncio to be expelled.
Following the Cloyne Report the new minister for children was also in action, saying that new legislation will make it a criminal offense for anyone to withhold information about possible child abuse or to fail to bring information about possible cases to the attention of the authorities.
That will include priests and bishops as much as everyone else. And failure to report complaints about abuse or evidence of possible abuse will be punishable by up to five years in jail.
In short the government, just like everyone else here, has reached the end of the road with the Catholic Church and its code of Omerta. Any more of this in the future -- any more Bishop Magees -- and those involved in denying, delaying and then throwing up a smokescreen of apologies and contrition while they continue to hide the guilty, will find themselves behind bars.
This could be relevant very soon because we know that the church has carried out several internal investigations in recent years in areas around the country where there has been a higher number of complaints about abuse. The results of these investigations have not been published.
At the moment here in the wake of what the minister for children had to say last week about five year jail sentences for those who don't contact the authorities about possible child abuse cases, there is a debate going on about whether the new legislation will cover what a priest hears in confession. Will a priest have to report to the authorities cases of child abuse he hears about in the confession box?
This, of course, is the kind of smokescreen the bishops love to throw up because in this discussion the priest is an innocent party. But this academic theological argument is unlikely to deflect attention away from the main business for long.
That business is deciding what to do about an organization that is morally bankrupt even though it still holds itself up as the moral leader of Irish society.
As far as this former Catholic is concerned, it's of no concern. Indeed, the same goes for the vast majority of people here who no longer look to the Catholic Church for guidance on anything.
The only concern we have is to be sure that the privileged position the clergy once had here is consigned to history and that priests and bishops are treated exactly the same as anyone else before the law. And that's state law, not church law.

The "smokescreen" that John Spain writes about is clearly there. On the internet, there's much discussion of the sacred character of the seal of confession and worry about the laity fearing betrayal by priests who will now be legally bound to report confessed crimes. But these self-serving discussions do not open up the larger and far more important questions that John Spain raises here-- about the relation between state law and canon law and between the need of the courts and sex abuse victims for justice vs the church's interest in protecting its secrets. The seal of confession is not the only source of conflict between civil authority and religious "authority." Next we'll hear bishops protesting, as they do in the USA, about the government depriving them of freedom of religion and freedom of conscience. What they mean is their freedom to remain exempt from the laws of the state is finally meeting challenges.

Hey, Spain! Habla "Ad Deum qui laetificat…," no? While we are revising the privileged position the clergy once had in society, we might also revise Ireland's study of itself, he said with a wind and a nod. People do that. Study society. Some even receive grants, bequests, and endowments. Now, without the Church to tell Ireland what it is, or the North to tell Ireland what it is, Ireland might want to decide for itself what it is.

Jehovah's Witnesses pedophiles.
Many court documents and news events prove that Jehovah's Witnesses require two witnesses when a child comes forward with allegations of molestation within the congregation. Such allegations have customarily been treated as sins instead of crimes and are only reported to authorities when it is required to do so by law, (which varies by state). It has also been shown that child molesters within the organization usually have not been identified to the congregation members or the public at large.
These people engage in a door to door ministry, possibly exposing children to pedophiles.
Although the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society claims that known pedophiles are accompanied by a non-pedophile in such work, there is no law stating that such a practice must be followed.
The Watchtower corporation has paid out millions in hush money already.
The Watchtower defenders will say do anything to protect mother Watchtower.
This is an abusive cult to children and adults.

Hey laallyboy,,, I don't know from experience about Prisons... but you are are so correct about the conduct as to the 1958/60 Daingean reform school; where "bully" inmates molested weaker kids at a rate of at least 20 to 1. But the bigger crime was the Oblate Brothers knew exactly who the molesters and victims were... The evidence of which I gave to i.c founder N. O'D***, but not a word was printed... WHY???

There continues to be dust-ups in the US over the limited possibility that Sharia Law could somehow be injected into our judicial system, but at the same time we need to be sure no religious law can ever trump civil law, and that includes Canon Law.

Go raibh maith agat, John Spain. Excellent commentary, and with most appropriate tone. And "Quixotic" also has it very right in noting that this is not an issue of homosexuality or true pedophilia, but what is rapmant in male prisons and reform schools -- what psychologists actually call the "prisoner effect," that occurs when males are confined long term and prevented from interacting with females.

Check the dates of these events please. It is all about taking young, normal boys at the age of 13 and keeping them confined and separated so that they would not be tempted to 'lose' their vocation by associating with the outside world, and (god forbid) girls.
In such a situation it is absolutely natural to develop attractions to immature, physically delayed fellow males with whom they are surrounded (check out jails and reform schools).
Now, most of these young, religious men resisted the temptation to act out (as young religious males try to resist temptation with girls) -- especially in the Irish Catholic culture 40 years ago. But some of the weak acted on it and carried it on throughout their lives. A FEW, but deadly. The Chruch is responsible.
Of course, Bill Donohue and others of his biased ilk, will assert homosexuals in the church, but that is a distraction.

Time to return to the OId Irish religion and Brehon Law. Since giving Ireland to England as a political payoff the RC Church has reduced Ireland from a land of feared warriors to a land of drunken Leprechaun jokes in which women - who were once Chieftains and Generals in pre-Christian Ireland - were reduced to breeding stock with no rights.

A sophomoric situation
The Whitetail Deer is an extremely beautiful and majestic animal. I currently hate them all.
Last Monday, on my way home from work on a bitterly cold January night, I hit a deer. Or more accurately, it hit me. I was just cruising along, minding my own business, listening to a Chicago sports radio station pointing out to me for the millionth time why the owners of the Chicago Bears are dumb, when it happened. My Jeep and I crossed paths with Bambi's dad. Most licensed drivers who reside in northern Illinois can relate to the situation I am about to describe.
Out of the corner of my bespectacled left eye, I could see movement in the crisp darkness. I knew what it was even before I rotated my head. In what little moonlight there was, I could see the antlers running parallel with the road I was driving on. Or, I guess I should say, almost parallel.

This sounds great and will diffidently try it soon. I feel the same about slaw. If available I always order it. Never heard of Dukes's, will look for it.
Hi Robyn,
Like you, I tend to judge restaurants by their side dishes, such as coleslaw and also whether they make their own vinaigrette for salads. (Not fond of the bottled stuff.) I love the lime component you've used in your slaw. It must give it a nice fresh taste.
My husband and I are looking forward to meeting you at the blogger get-together at Almost Heaven South in a couple of weeks. See you there.
Sam & Meakin
Funny, we just converted to Duke's this month. I love it.
I'll be trying this slaw for my next batch of pulled pork.
I've been looking for a healthy coleslaw recipe. This looks great. Thanks for sharing.

I need to start fund raising so I can hire developers to finish completion of my product and start selling it and actually making some money.
At the moment I have a presentation and a partly functioning prototype I can demonstrate, but I can't really go further by myself.
I don't have family or friends I can ask, and as I have always worked for myself don't have co-workers I can partner with. There is absolutely no one in my personal circle I can ask to contribute in any way.
I was looking at Angels and VCs and such, however they all seem to want to invest only in existing companies. Most of them don't even have a means to setup a meeting or give a demonstration.
If Angels and VCs are out....what else can I do? Should I start advertising? How can I get people to actually give me money so I can bring my project to fruition?


text: Friends: I took it upon myself to remind you of the APHA call for abstracts since the deadline is rapidly approaching. Purely selfish on my part since I'm helping out with the Film Festival again this year and want to see as many of you there as I can. Since I could not find my copy of the call from APHA, I went to their Web site and copied this text to give you an idea of what they want. Their suggestion of getting your abstract pulled together ahead of time is a REALLY good one. Then just cut and paste into the Confex database. Saves time, yelling and hair pulling. Note that you do not have to present on EBPH but it always helps if you can tie what you are doing to the theme. *** The American Public Health Association is now accepting contributed abstracts for the 133rd Annual Meeting (November 5-9, 2005), New Orleans, LA. The theme of the meeting is: Evidence Based Policy and Practice. Abstracts must be limited to 250 words or less. Please develop your abstract off-line before accessing the online submission form. Use the spell checking and word count features of your word processor to check the text of the abstract before submitting it. Two-page summaries (if required) must be less than 2000 words. Learning objectives must be described. Each contributed paper must be categorized under one of the topics or areas of interest described in the call for papers. (Most sections/SPIGs/caucuses offer a topic selection called "Other"). Deadlines for submitting abstracts are listed below. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts on current and emerging public health issues. The abstracts being submitted should not be published prior to the APHA Annual Meeting (Wednesday, November 9, 2005). An abstract can only be submitted to ONE Section, SPIG or Caucus. You do not need to be an APHA member to submit an abstract, however, if your abstract is accepted for presentation you MUST become an APHA Individual member and you MUST register for the Annual Meeting. Submission of an abstract implies a commitment to make the presentation at the annual meeting. As an organization committed to providing quality continuing education (CE) activities to its membership and meeting registrants, APHA must adhere to the requirements of various accrediting bodies and professional organizations with which it collaborates. In the past APHA has made CE units/credits/contact hours available in a variety of professional disciplines. Each discipline has its own unique requirements of educational activities, and the organizations that provide them. Because APHA strives to make as many of its educational activities as possible eligible for CE, it is essential that the presenters (authors, faculty, etc) meet all CE requirements and follow discipline-specific regulations. Learn more about the Abstract Submission Process go here: http://apha.confex.com/apha/133am/oasys.epl Note the deadlines in the left column. Don't delay or it will take you forever to input your abstract as everyone submits at the last moment. Hope to see you in New Orleans! Yum!

The bad news piled on for the SU football team Tuesday, as if a four game losing streak wasn't difficult enough to deal with, the Orange learned running back Adonis Ameen-Moore would be out for the season.
Moore, according to SU Athletics, suffered what's being called an "upper-body injury" at practice on November 17th and will undergo surgery December 2nd to remedy the issue.
Moore showed flashes of potential as a true freshman this year, the 5'11" 240 pound bulldozing running back gained 40 yards on 12 carries, seeing significat action against Tulane and West Virginia.
He's the second running back to be lost for the year, as sophomore Prince-Tyson Gulley suffered a season ending injury after the Toledo game.

The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR announced the special order to be the consideration of Mr. Benz's bill [S. 6] for the election and appointment of Supervisor of highways. [See p. 28 and 78 of the Brevier Reports.]
The majority report recommend amendment of the bill [S. 6] by making the tax in Section 3 not less than five cents nor more than forty cents on the $100. The minority report entirely new matter as a substitute for the bill.
Mr. HENRY offered a substitute for both the majority and minority reports-being new matter from and after the enacting clause. He said there is nothing of so much importance to the farming community as the road law. The present law gives dissatisfaction and there is a demand for a new system for the repair n improvement of roads. The substituted provisions of tho measure now proposed as a substitute are: It does away with the Road Superintendent and with the Road Master: it makes the Trustee ex-officio Road Superintendent of all highways in his Township, who shall divide his Township into road districts not less than six square miles in area, in each of which there is to be elected a Road Supervisor who has charge of the work on the road, under the direction of the Township Trustee, citizens to work out the poll tax similar to the (. Id law for, working out road tax. The Township Trustee shall have control of all the roads so there may be a system of roads. The property tax shall be paid to the Township Trustee to be expended under his direction.
Mr VOYLES, interrupting, suggested that this bill be printed and the subject postponed till after the printing.
Mr. BELL seconded the motion to print.
Mr. GRAHAM thought the explanation of the author would be better than printing the bill.
Mr. HENRY (continuing): The Road Supervisors should expend this road money under the direction of the Township Trustee. The bill permits every taxpayer to work his road tax out, if it is done as cheap as other labor is performed. It makes the Supervisor an officer, requires bond, and subjects him to removal by the Township Trustee for cause. He did not claim this bill as a perfect one but insisted it contains the better provisions of the present and the old law.
page: 98[View Page 98]On motion by Mr BROWN the subject was postponed till Monday next at 2:30 o'clock. The substitute [offered by Mr. Henry] and the bill [S. 126, Mr. Davidson's] were ordered printed-300 copies of the former and 150 of the latter bill.

EXPOSED: Temporary exposure to radiation levels many times above safety limits is not necessarily dangerous.

The developing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami has raised concerns over the health effects of radiation exposure: What is a "dangerous" level of radiation? How does radiation damage health? What are the consequences of acute and long-term low-dose radiation?
Though radioactive steam has been released to reduce pressure within the wrecked complex's reactors and there has been additional radiation leakage from the three explosions there, the resulting spikes in radiation levels have not been sustained. The highest radiation level reported thus far was a pulse of 400 millisieverts per hour at reactor No. 3, measured at 10:22 A.M. local time March 15. (A sievert is a unit of ionizing radiation equal to 100 rems; a rem is a dosage unit of x-ray and gamma-ray radiation exposure.) The level of radiation decreases dramatically as distance from the site increases. Radiation levels in Tokyo, about 220 kilometers to the southwest, have been reported to be only slightly above normal.
"We are nowhere near levels where people should be worried," says Susan M. Langhorst, a health physicist and the radiation safety officer at Washington University in Saint Louis.
According to Abel Gonzalez, vice chairman of the International Commission on Radiological Protection who studied the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, current information coming from Japan about levels of radiation leakage are incomplete at best and speculations about "worst-case scenarios" are as of yet irrelevant.
The health effects caused by radiation exposure depend on its level, type and duration.
Radiation level:
The average person is exposed to 2 to 3 millisieverts of background radiation per year from a combination of cosmic radiation and emissions from building materials and natural radioactive substances in the environment.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission recommends that beyond this background level, the public limit their exposure to less than an additional one millisievert per year. The U.S. limit for radiation workers is 50 millisieverts annually, although few workers are exposed to anything approaching that amount. For patients undergoing medical radiation there is no strict exposure limit—it is the responsibility of medical professionals to weigh the risks and benefits of radiation used in diagnostics and treatment, according to Langhorst. A single CT scan, for example, can expose a patient to more than one millisievert.
Radiation sickness (or acute radiation syndrome) usually sets in after a whole-body dose of three sieverts—3,000 times the recommended public dose limit per year, Langhorst says. The first symptoms of radiation sickness—nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea— can appear within minutes or in days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A period of serious illness, including appetite loss, fatigue, fever, gastrointestinal problems, and possible seizures or coma, may follow and last from hours to months.
Radiation type:
Of concern in the current situation is ionizing radiation, which is produced by spontaneously decaying heavy isotopes, such as iodine 131 and cesium 137. (Isotopes are species of the same element, albeit with different numbers of neutrons and hence different atomic masses.) This type of radiation has sufficient energy to ionize atoms (usually creating a positive charge by knocking out electrons), thereby giving them the chemical potential to react deleteriously with the atoms and molecules of living tissues.
Ionizing radiation takes different forms: In gamma and x-ray radiation atoms release energetic light particles that are powerful enough to penetrate the body. Alpha and beta particle radiation is lower energy and can often be blocked by just a sheet of paper. If radioactive material is ingested or inhaled into the body, however, it is actually the lower energy alpha and beta radiation that becomes the more dangerous. That's because a large portion of gamma and x-ray radiation will pass directly through the body without interacting with the tissue (considering that at the atomic level, the body is mostly empty space), whereas alpha and beta radiation, unable to penetrate tissue, will expend all their energy by colliding with the atoms in the body and likely cause more damage.
In the Fukushima situation, the radioactive isotopes detected, iodine 131 and cesium 137, emit both gamma and beta radiation. These radioactive elements are by-products of the fission reaction that generates power in the nuclear plants.
The Japanese government has evacuated 180,000 people from within a 20-kilometer radius of the Fukushima Daiichi complex. They are urging people within 30 kilometers of the plant to remain indoors, close all windows, and to change clothes and wash exposed skin after going outside. These measures are mainly aimed at reducing the potential for inhaling or ingesting beta-emitting radioactive material.

awww.. it says the pumpkin pancake recipe was not found. :(
i love all of these ideas. i have never been a fan of pumpkin pie, but i love almost everything else pumpkin flavored.
i will be giving a few of these a try soon! :D
Readily available, healthy, a doctor recommended super food, on sale frequently during the winter holidays and reasonably affordable even at the regular price, canned pumpkin gets the job done. Think it's just for pies and sweetbreads? Read on.
Pumpkin is incredibly versatile. While many people relegate this colorful puree to pies and sweetbreads alone, it's actually useful for much more than that, including cocktails, casseroles, pasta fillings and breakfast smoothies. Don't know what to do when it comes to that recipe that leaves you with leftovers at the bottom of the can? Try using one of my favorite standby savings strategies, ice cube trays. In the meantime, I invite you to explore the following categories and idea links, several of which will soon be ending up in my personal pumpkin archives. (See also: Get More From Pumpkin Carving by Baking the Seed)
Soups are actually one of the first things people tend to think of when trying to brainstorm outside of the canned pumpkin box. However, this category of recipes alone produced some extremely interesting research results, including seafood pumpkin, shrimp pumpkin bisque, pumpkin peanut butter and a recipe or two for sausage pumpkin soup. Another recipe of interest was this black bean pumpkin soup recipe. Feel like something curried? Here's a link to help you out.
When it comes to sauces, numerous savory options are available. For example, when you scroll down a bit on this link, you will find a recipe seared scallops in pumpkin sauce. I also found this one with garlic and shallots to serve with angel hair and parmesan, a garlic walnut pumpkin sauce to serve with various pasta shapes, this one with sour cream recommended for cheese ravioli, and a creamy yet savory sausage and pumpkin sauce suitable for swapping out with a standard red meat sauce over spaghetti. Looking for a sauce to use on your salad? Here's one for pumpkin vinaigrette that I use at our house:
One clove of minced garlic, 1 tsp of sweetener (stevia, honey, agave nectar, maple syrup or brown sugar), salt and pepper to taste, 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 2-3 tablespoons of cider vinegar and 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil. You can play around with this recipe a bit, adding a touch more vinegar for extra zip, and double or tripling the recipe to allow for a bigger up front batch. Whip this one up in your blender using an inverted quart canning jar to minimize clean up. (Directions on how to perform this kitchen hack are available towards the bottom of this article on recycling containers.) I've stored this one for nearly a week before in my fridge.
If chilies float your boat, I found this idea for pumpkin turkey chili, as well as one or two others. Something in particular I noticed when researching the chili recipes (there are loads more out there, but I thought three was enough for this post.) was the frequent combination of pumpkin puree into the tomato bases of the chili. Since tomatoes are a super food as well, and the flavors apparently complement each other, this is a great way to get a double nutritional bang for your buck.
Pumpkin dip? That's what I thought. But I actually found several diverse ones, including one or two pumpkin hummus recipes, pumpkin fluff dip, this recipe for peanut butter pumpkin dip that I think could also be seasoned differently for a savory accompaniment to meats, a fruit dip, and this savory pumpkin dip option.
And beverages? Who knew there were so many drinkable options when it came to pumpkin puree? Scroll down using this link to the recipe for a cocktail known as a pumpkin French 75, using puree and gin. You can also make pumpkin margaritas, martinis, infused vodka , and a cool pumpkin rum punch. I also found recipes for pumpkin yogurt punch, pumpkin smoothies and pumpkin lattes for the stove top and crockpot.
This is the category that blew me away. I was hoping to find a few unusual savory ideas for all of you, but there was way more diversity than I expected. We're talking pumpkin gnocchi ,whole wheat pumpkin and spinach pizza, pumpkin couscous, and even baby food. Love the taste of old Mexico? Try these Oaxacan pumpkin tamales.I also have this low calorie pumpkin casserole that we've enjoyed at our house a time or two, a pumpkin gratin, pumpkin cornbread and a savory pumpkin quiche. And that's not all. Here are a few others that made the cut:
As you can see, it isn't hard to incorporate more pumpkin in your diet in ways that don't involve dessert.
Looking for a few ways to start off your day with a little pumpkin power? Try pumpkin power bars, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, scones or some Eastern European pumpkin and sauerkraut muffins.
When it comes to traditional baked goods, pumpkin is an extremely popular ingredient for the fall and winter seasons. Since these are the types of recipes most people tend to have already, I've kept this section of the article a bit brief. A few classics to get you started if this is your first journey beyond pie? Pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese filling, this vegan pumpkin snack cake that mixes up right in a standard 8 x 8 pan, and versions of pumpkin bread from both the Black Forest and the good old state of Maine. Need a couple more? How about turnovers or low fat pumpkin oatmeal cookies?
I know, I know. There are some baked items here too. But since many of them end up clearly on the fluffier "ooh la la" side of the dessert scale (read: pain in the neck to make), I put them in their own category. In addition to the expected pie, cheesecake and mousse, a few others caught my eye.
Additionally, I was able to find not only a plain pumpkin pudding, but another recipe I've been searching for for years: pumpkin bread pudding that doesn't require a specialty bread to start. Score!
With as much luck as I had in researching the savory options for this puree, I have to say I'm encouraged. It'll take some practice and effort to make it one of the choices I go for on a regular basis, but I think with this selection of idea options, canned pumpkin has a serious shot at being used as often as tomato products in my kitchen. Particularly in the casserole, sauce and stuffing arenas. Looking for for other affordable super food options? Check out our articles on spinach, recipes for canned corn, salmon and soy, which is covered in three separate articles on soy beans, tofu and TVP. Since lentils are a super food too, you may want to check out this article for menu ideas as well. Eat healthy, everybody!
awww.. it says the pumpkin pancake recipe was not found. :(
i love all of these ideas. i have never been a fan of pumpkin pie, but i love almost everything else pumpkin flavored.
i will be giving a few of these a try soon! :D
I would also recommend Pumpkin Polenta as a side dish(http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=115771), the pumpkin mixes well with the creaminess of the polenta.
Thanks! These ideas rock! I have used pumpkin to make spice cake muffins before, but love the idea of healthier options to get more pumpkin goodness into my veggie suspicious boys. :)
Here in Australia, we can't buy pumpkin in a can (only fresh pumpkins) and we eat it in savoury dishes - the sweet pumpkin dessert thing is virtually unheard of! I've never had pumpkin pie, for example.
Pumpkin is excellent cut into chunks and roasted with other vegies and served with roast meat, in soup, in pasta sauce, in pasta, or even bbqed.
Wow, Raven. That sounds really interesting.
And Mama L? We're excited about the healthier options, too.
Pumpkin polenta . . . mmmmnnn . . . .
We live on pumpkin custard at our house. It's basically a crustless pumpkin pie. Follow the pie recipe on the can of pumpkin puree but substitute 1 can of milk for the sweetened condensed milk. (As in, dump out the pumpkin and fill the can with milk.) Add at least one extra egg. 3 works great, 4 can taste eggy. You can drop the sugar to as little as half a cup. And pump up the spices to make it taste more savory than sweet. I like using Chinese 5 spice powder. Mix it all together and bake at 400 degrees for an hour. I like to use something flat like a pie plate. It seems to gel better.
Serve over hot buttered toast. Yum! We eat it first for dinner and then serve any leftovers for breakfast.
Pumpkin is a welcome friend at our house and we'll certainly give some of these newer recipes a try, but we don't waste our money on expensive canned pumpkin. We stock up on a variety of pumpkins and heirloom squashes every fall, use them for fall and Halloween decorations, and then bring them indoors to store or process for later pumpkin dishes. A few caveats are in order if you want to "have your pumpkin and eat it too."
Pumpkin and winter squashes store well someplace that gets very cold but not freezing, such as your garage. Basements tend to be too warm. If your garage occasionally drops below freezing, store them in a box insulated with blankets, crumbled newspaper or tough acidic leaves (such as oak). Check often for soft spots and lightly knock as good pumpkins have a light hollow sound. If you catch a soft spot or hollow sound quickly enough, immediately process and eat the pumpkin (cutting out any squishy spots). I've been able to "keep" them this way all winter, though some varieties tend to head south quicker than others so you need to be diligent about checking your stash every few weeks. If they accidentally freeze, you need to process them immediately as they rot quickly once thawing.
To process pumpkins, first carve out the seeds and set them aside for pepitas (pumpkin seeds). Separate the pulp for your compost pile (haven't figured out a use for it yet). Cut the pumpkin in half vertically and put it face-down on a baking sheet. Once the center starts to cave in when you touch it, take it out of the oven and scoop out the pulp while still hot. Puree in a food processor, blender, or food mill once it cools enough to touch. Whatever you can't use that day, scoop 2-cup servings into a ziploc freezer bag (this is how much is in a typical can of pumpkin), suck the air out using a straw, smooth it flat and store it in your freezer. Thaw and use as you would canned pumpkin.
Contrary to popular myth, you CAN eat that stringy Halloween Jack-O-Lantern, but you need to treat it a little differently than smaller pumpkins. Next year, when you place your pumpkin for decoration, don't carve it until no more than 24 hours in advance. Keep it off the ground (a bit of scrap wood underneath works well) and out of direct sunlight so it doesn't rot. Use a flashlight instead of a candle when lighting it for trick-or-treators. As soon as you turn out your porch lights, bring "Jack" indoors and either process him right away, or stick him in the fridge covered with a plastic bag until you can process him in a day or two. Sometimes picnic ants will decide to explore Jack while he's outside, so just rinse Jack well and let him dry before processing (I don't put him out until just before the kids are due to arrive to avoid this).
When processing Jack to bake, you may only be able to fit one half at a time in your oven. Because big pumpkins carry a lot more water than small ones, I usually cut Jack in quarters so more moisture can escape during cooking. Once cooked, you can often peel the tough skin off instead of scooping it. Cut Jack into 2" chunks and toss them in a colander over a bowl to cool so more water seeps out. Lastly, before pureeing, squeeze the slightly-warm pumpkin chunks over the bowl until water no longer wrings easily from the pieces. The water can be used to enhance soup stock. Puree Jack well. Jack-o-lantern puree tends to be less sweet and higher in fiber, so use it in recipes such as pumpkin bread (regular or sweet) or pumpkin bread pudding, but not in recipes such as pumpkin pie.
Bon appetit!
If you have a dog with digestive issues, you should know that a spoonful of canned pumpkin may be just the thing. Firms up the loose and loosens the firm, if you know what I mean...
(Of course if the situation is serious, you should consult your vet.)
i volunteer with a cat rescue and on the recommendation of several vets we also give canned pumpkin puree to cats and kittens with diarrhea and/or vomiting. it's not only successful, they love it!
The only way I get my family to eat canned pumpkin is to put it into Chocolate Cake. I use a regular Chocolate cake mix (or Devil's Food cake mix, any kind) and instead of oil, I put in a 15oz. can of pumpkin, and follow the rest of the directions (adding eggs, oil, etc...) It might need a few extra minutes to cook, but it is the most moist, delicious chocolate cake you;ve ever had. And it doesn't taste like pumkin at all (unless you add cinnamon and nutmeg, which is also great.)
This really is a great post. Usually I process two of the jack o'lantern pumpkins ever year to use for recipes until the next pumpkin season. You've added several ideas to my usual rotation of pumpkin items. Thanks!
What a great article! I can't wait to try the pumpkin snack cake. And the pumpkin chocolate cake in the comment section also sounds great. Thanks.
I once answered a survey about pumpkins. Among other things, it suggested that you use a spoon or two of pumpkin in regular chili: You can't taste it per se but the nutrients are there and your kids aren't screaming, "eeewwwww."
It also suggested adding pumpkin to mashed potatoes. Hmmmm....But it would be a pretty color.
If you use the canned kind, freeze it in ice-cube trays and put them in a bag. You can take out one or two cubes at a time.

The simple fact is that the human spirit is too sensitive for the kind of money-grubbing work needed. Nobody talks about requiring animal spirits for winning a race, or writing a book, or solving a math equation. And it's strange that only businessmen need animal spirits to help them work, while doctors, engineers and teachers get along very well without them. What we need is low animal cunning, brute force and cash cows in the dog-eat-dog world of business. It's enough to get any human spirit's goat.
Keynes is saying there's something about business that brings out the animal in you. True, many of us have never come across animals preparing a balance sheet, or making a sales pitch, or setting up a factory, but maybe we haven't looked hard enough. Once you know where to look, you might detect Vijay Mallya's inner bunny or Mukesh Ambani's inner frog peeping out or even Narayana Murthy's wise old owl.
It's no wonder then that we have the Asian tiger economies, the Chinese dragon and the Indian elephant. Not to mention the dark horses. Then we have the PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) - the tottering economies of Europe. And of course we have the bulls and bears and the cock and bull stories in the stock market.
That brings me to the crux of the problem. The big question is: which animal spirit are we talking about here? Are birds included? What about insects? Don't forget the cockroach has survived for many millions of years. Surely its spirit has learned a trick or two by now?
The Chinese calendar says the tiger person is authoritative, emotional, courageous and intense while the dragon guy is fearless, warm-hearted and energetic. But the calendar also says the rat chap is quick-witted, charming, smart and persuasive, all qualities essential for business success. Will the rat spirit revive the economy? Other animal qualities that would be helpful are being as brave as a lion, as cunning as a fox and as strong as an ox.
But it's also important to separate the sheep from the goats. Getting as drunk as a skunk, being blind as a bat or as dead as a dodo is bad for business. Avoid the skunk, bat and dodo spirits. The cat spirit is dead, curiosity killed it. And the spirit of a mouse would also not be right. Ask the PM, he should know.
But wait a bit, could we be barking up the wrong tree? When they talked of animal spirits, perhaps what they really meant was cocktails? In particular, they are probably referring to Salty Dog, Brass Monkey, Caribou Lou, Moscow Mule and Pink Squirrel. These spirits, generously imbibed, will soon impart the confidence and courage desperately needed by businessmen, consumers and workers to get the economy moving again.

Layer up and boost your core warmth with this modern update of the classic Nuptse for 2013. Both the exterior and the quick-drying 700-fill goose down are water resistant, for reliable thermal protection in wet winter weather. Nylon canvas shoulder overlay and a snap-down storm flap give this warm vest a casual look. For handsfree listening, drop your MP3 player in the internal pocket and loop your headphone wires through the cord guide.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.
