- Heat a large, deep non-stick frying pan, wok or shallow saucepan over a low heat. Add the oil, stir in the onion and fry over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to turn golden.
- Stir the chilli, garlic and ginger into the onion mixture and fry for 2 minutes. Raise the heat a little, add the potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the outsides are just softening. Stir in the curry paste, cook for 1 minute, then toss in the cauliflower and stirfry for a further 1 minute to coat.
- Pour the coconut milk into the pan and stir thoroughly. Add some salt, raise the heat and bring to the boil, stirring frequently, then half cover the pan and reduce to a slow simmer. Cook the curry for 20-25 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the vegetables are tender.
- Half bury the eggs yolk-sides up in the sauce, then cover and continue to simmer gently for a further 1-2 minutes to heat through. Serve with a scattering of toasted almonds, if liked, and coriander.

Comments, questions and tips
If you're a parent who is need of that smug (for want of a better word) feeling you get from your kids completely clearing their plate, then I would recommend cooking this curry. The cauliflower and potato compliment the delicate flavours in the sauce beautifully.
My kids polished off three platefuls each!! So we'll definitely be having this again...tomorrow me thinks!
It was great and easy to do... I added a whole jar of Pataks coconut & cumin paste (only one I had) plus before the coconut milk I added a small tin of plum tomatoes. Served up with my own hens soft boiled eggs, the home made mango & apple chutney, plus a nan bread each, it was a very filling cheap & cheerful curry that I shall use time and time again!
This was one of the nicest recipes for curry I have ever had, and as a meat lover, its amazing for me to say that a vegetarian curry is top of my list. I did add a little more coconut milk for more of a sauce as my cauli was a little on the large size.
It went down well with both my son and husband too with plates cleared in record time. This will be a keeper in my home.

- Wonderfulkital204Dined on 21/10/2014Had a wonderful experience at Provender. Staff were very friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. We had the 3 course set menu and each course was great. Atmosphere was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always our first choice.FeeedusDined on 19/10/2014Always our first choice of local restaurants. Good food. Friendly staff. Great breakfasts as well as dinner .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice staff, but not much elseraulinhoDined on 18/10/2014Unfortunately this is a restaurant that wants to fit you in, next to as many people as possible, when there are free tables elsewhere. Food was poor quality, and over priced. Friendliness of staff was the only real pro here.
- Return visit to ProvenderKAwasKPDined on 17/10/2014I like to come back to this restaurant every few months as have always been happy with the food and the service. The meal was lovely - all in our party were happy with virtually everything. One tiny thing was that we shared some appetizers and the garlic bread was really overdone - too hard and couldn't really taste the garlic as a result of having to chew so much! I would like to particularly mention my dessert - the meringue noisette with Armagnac prunes. It was fantastic!! Service was good if a little overzealous - could have done with being just a little more laid back. Overall - will of course returnSpecial Features:
- Generally Goodblend69Dined on 15/10/2014Was more than adequate, but the only problem was that the food was cool when it was delivered, I got the impression it had been hanging around waiting to be brought out of the kitchen.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Set Menu such good ValueWestyDined on 13/10/2014A rainy Monday night but Provender was still seeing a steady turnover of customersSpecial Features:
- pep15Dined on 12/10/2014A most enjoyable meal as usual. Advise booking as they get very busy and often have to turn away those with no reservation.Special Features:
- Not bad at allrabelaisDined on 8/10/2014The setting and ambience are good, and the friendly French proprietor is an asset. The food was quite OK, but not outstanding. The wine was French only, which I think is too restrictive. Service was good, and we appreciated the speed of arrival of the taxi. On the whole not a particularly memorable visit. I had the escargots, which were covered in a kind of green gunk, which I did not really appreciate. Trying hard to think of something else to say, to add up to the number of characters remaining. The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains, they say, Always use the cutlery from the outside to the inside. Go from the known to the unknown. Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy will be done on Earth as it is inSpecial Features:
- Another excellent mealBethDined on 5/10/2014Good food, great wine, excellent service. What more can one ask for from this upscale neighbourhood French place. Now that it's been mentioned in the Guardian magazine, I'm sure tables will be even harder to get!Special Features:
- Shame about the musicDinerdinerDined on 5/10/2014A lovely late Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday was marred by the too loud music. A member of our party is hard of hearing and we asked politely and quietly if the music could be turned down to enable him to participate fully in the occasion. The request was met with an equally polite response - and then ignored. It is very embarrassing for a person who is hard of hearing to have to ask the waiter to keep repeating himself. As regular visitors to The Dordogne area of France, where music in restaurants is almost unheard (excuse the pun) of, was disappointing to find a French restaurant in London thinking it is a disco. Background music is fine, but please not so loud you have to shout to have a conversation. Great service/food.
- I love ProvendorbeatboybillyDined on 29/9/2014Fantastic menu - you can't go wrong with anything you choose... and they offer the best burger in London!I would recommend this to a friend.
- ProvendersprkrDined on 27/9/2014The prawns were OK, the mayonnaise excellent. The rabbit was very tender; falling off the bone, with pleasant sauceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really good set menuConsumitDined on 27/9/2014A fantastic restaurant. Even though much of the menu is not allowed for me and my family because we are Muslim and the meat is (presumably) not halal, there are enough vegetarian and seafood options to choose from. The set menu 'prix fixe' is very good value. I love the colouring booklets given to the children, and that there are some board games available. Food is great. My only complaint is that perhaps there could have been more variety in the kids' menu (mine could only have fish and chips, which was fine for them) but to be honest I don't mind ordering from the main menu for them if I have to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunny pavement days!Min88Dined on 22/9/2014We were lucky to habe one of those golden autumn days and sat outside to have the lunch prix fixe menu. Although the outdoor seating is on the main huigh street, the noise of traffic is not overwhelming and we could all have an easy conversation together. There were 5 of us, all choosing different dishes from the menu so we tried most of the options on this menu. Everyone liked what they chose. I had moules and frites which were excellent, after the smoked prawns. All the desserts were tasty- my sister had the passion fruit panna cotta which probably was the best choice. Great service and friendly helpful staff make this an excellent venue, certainly at lunchtime.Special Features:
- Little SuprisedavezDined on 7/9/2014Friends had recommended this French restaurant and was not disappointed - it's small, cozy and modern and you feel there is pride in the restaurant. The quality of the food is good and I would definitely be going back again. Nice to also support a local business which offers good service and food and prides themselves in running the place.Special Features:
- PollyDined on 6/9/2014Took my friend to Provender on Saturday - first time for her - though I am a frequent visitor. The staff at Provender are excellent - both friendly and attentive. The food there continues to be of an excellent standard and the prices are good. I have never been disappointed in any of my visits to Provender and would highly recommend. My friend was very impressed with level of service and food. Provender is a real asset to Wanstead High Street.Special Features:
- JaneDined on 5/9/2014This was my second visit and whilst I enjoyed the food, it wasn't quite as good as first time around though I would still go again. One of the party had the snails and was disappointed they didn't come in their shells but mostly in masses of parsley sauce with no garlic. Apart from that the food, the food was good. Unfortunately, there was a really noisey table which made it difficult to have a conversation. I would go again but one of the party wouldn't which makes it a bit disappointing.Special Features:
- Very good lunchGirlsTeaDined on 5/9/2014We have been here 3 times before and the food on this 4th occasion was as good as usual. Service always very friendly and efficient.Special Features:
- A real treatOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 4/9/2014Found this little gem on top table. We booked it for a friends birthday. The service was great. Really friendly attentive staff. Food matched the great service. Between use we tried the snails, prawns, sea bass and the selection of meat starters. These were enjoyed by all. A recommended restaurant choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BiroblandDined on 30/8/2014Very interesting french cuisine at very reasonable prices. Waiters engaging.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great meal outIsabelDined on 26/8/2014From the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more solicitous, even giving us a choice of table as I had requested online not to be near a draught because I was with my mother. Delicious aperitif of kir crémant and radishes, followed by the tagine of cod for me and rabbit for my mum who is not one to lavish praise on restaurants. Too full for pudding and driving so no wine but great value at £60. She said it was the best meal out she had had in years and we will both be returning, she for lunch with friends and I for dinner or Sunday lunch with the family. Thank you, Provender.Special Features:
- ExcellentBethDined on 24/8/2014Really enjoyed our meal. Service was great, food wonderful as always and good, reasonably priced wine list. Will definitely return,.
- Great Local RestaurantMag1Dined on 23/8/2014As regular visitors to Provender we always have a great time and this visit was no exception. Choice and quality of food is excellent, as is the choice of wines.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 4pawsDined on 23/8/2014dinner was not up to the usual standard, and the new menu is not very goodSpecial Features:
- JaneJaneDined on 23/8/2014Having searched for somewhere to eat specifically in Wanstead via Opentable, Provender. I went there before when it was Seasons. The menu is quite different but the quality of the food was good. The desserts were especially, and I'm not a dessert girl normally. The wine was very nice and not over the top. The service was good though a little over attentive for my liking. However, I would definitely go there again for a treat or just a night out as it works well for both. If I could give it an extra half a star, I would!Special Features:
- Celebration GCSE DinnerWestyDined on 21/8/2014We had a lovely family dinner to celebrate th relief of GCSE results. Three of us plumped for the set price menu which is extraordinarily good value and helped us decide to choose a more expensive wine to go with it! Great food , service and ambience. Thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brilliant birthday mealMaddinerDined on 15/8/2014Had a great birthday meal here on a Friday evening. Loads of choice on the menu, and all the food was excellent quality. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming or professional. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best restaurant in my locality!CadixDined on 14/8/2014My partner and I are regular diners at Provender and we always have a fabulous time there. The menu provides a good range of options, from classic French dishes to more innovative British and French fusion combinations. For starters, I always have the escargot served in the traditional garlic butter and herb dressing. The rabbit and mussels/moules are also favourite mains. My partner often selects one of the classic salads - like the Lyonnais, or the Nordique - and then, more often than not, opts for a fish main course...which is always excellent! This restaurant comes highly recommended for beautifully cooked food, great wine choices and friendly service. Quite simply, Provender is the best restaurant in Wanstead!Special Features:
- AMAZING LOCAL FINDOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 13/8/2014Delicious find, amazing food, great value. Special but not fussy. A perfect bistro.
- Good Saturday Night TreatMogtoursDined on 9/8/2014The food is good, authentic, French cuisine - the staff are friendly and efficient. All in all, a good place for an evening out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Early Dinner just want we wantedlllllDined on 9/8/2014We could only get booked in early on a Saturday evening at late notice, but did not have a problem with that. Sat inside, even though doors we could have sat outside. Staff were attentive, service was good and food was lovely as always. We had Duck and Liver, both cooked nicely. Shared a huge dessert and a carafe of white. Left happy and full, will return soon.Special Features:
- Relaxed but specialSimonBDined on 5/8/2014Fantastic food at a very reasonable price and all served in a relaxed and unpretentious environment. I highly recommend this restaurant, even if it means getting a table will be harder in the future. I will definitely be back :)Special Features:
- Consistently excellent!SLSPDined on 3/8/2014Always very good at Provender. Good food, great service. Glad to see a summer menu.Special Features:
- Two family groupWestyDined on 3/7/2014Lovely warm evening. Great service and with the set menu excellent valueSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday nightgezzerDined on 13/6/2014I went to Provender with my partner, after we were shown the table we were left there wondering if we would ever get a drink. The food was average,the starter was the best course we both had Salmon for the main course i had the burger and she had the monk fish. we both agreed that the food was just pub grub but more expensive. The wine we ordered was a Chablis which we both drink all the time, the bottle cost £36 pounds and was not that good. That was the first and last time i will go to Provener.Special Features:
- Fantastic again!LollyBDined on 13/6/2014Perfect evening. Max and Christophe had the girls in charge of running the restaurant on Friday and it was one of the best service experiences we have had-just the right amount of attention at just the right times (no mean feat -it shows the staff are always aware of what's going on at each table, without their being intrusive in any way). Sometimes in busy restaurants, staff can be distracted and i often end up worrying whether i am going to get the right order. Despite the fact it was busy in Provender, the staff were completely calm and focused, which made me feel more relaxed. And the food? Yum! Absolutely everything we had was really well cooked and deliciously flavoursome. Great to have this wonderful restaurant on our doorstep.Special Features:
- Another good mealOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/6/2014Been here a few times and always a good meal. Packed this time but still good food and serviceSpecial Features:
- First visit & very impressed!BusinessDinerDined on 30/5/2014A very enjoyable and tasty meal. Great selection of classic French dishes on the menu and very pleasant ambience inside the restaurant. I also want to try one of their breakfasts and sit outside during the summer. I will be bringing my family and friends for dinner again soon!Special Features:
- Group DinnerWestyDined on 22/5/2014We were celebrating a friend's special birthday and so we were a party of 8 on a busy Thursday evening. Despite this, we were very well looked after and service was smooth and efficient. Most of us took advantage of the set price menu which is excellent valueSpecial Features:
- AnnaKDined on 18/5/2014Good, well cooked food and extremely helpful and accommodating staff with a knowledgable hands on owner. Consistently good every time I've been.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn nominated a former history professor and the retired head of the state's National Guard to the Southern Illinois University system's frayed board of trustees Friday after vetting the choices with lawmakers who spiked three of his previous candidates.
The selections of former Illinois Adjutant General Randal Thomas and former SIU-Edwardsville professor Shirley Portwood came three months after the Illinois Senate overwhelmingly panned three Quinn nominees to replace a trio whose terms on the board had expired.
But one of those lawmakers, Democratic Sen. Bill Haine of Alton, lauded the latest nominees agreed upon by Quinn and various members of Haine's chamber. Haine said he expected the Senate to sign off on the selections as early as next week, when SIU's board again is to meet.
"We're very pleased we had input, and we appreciate the governor listening to our concerns and acting upon them," Haine told The Associated Press. "I must say these nominees are excellent. I don't see any problem with these appointments. This is a great day for SIU."
Thomas, of Springfield, served more than four years as Illinois' adjutant general — the state's highest National Guard post — before retiring in 2007. A Vietnam veteran who earned a Purple Heart with the Army, Thomas held various roles in the Illinois National Guard since 1983 before taking on the top role.
Thomas also spent three decades as an English teacher, librarian and media director after getting a bachelor's degree in English in 1973 from SIU's Edwardsville campus, just northeast of St. Louis, and later a master's degree in education.
Portwood, of Godfrey, taught history at the Edwardsville campus for 30 years and since March 2010 has served on the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency's governing board.
Quinn's nominees earlier this year all graduated from the university's Carbondale campus, drawing criticism from state senators who ultimately rejected the candidates because they said there would be scant representation of the university system beyond Carbondale.
Haine said Friday that issue has been put to rest.
"These (new nominees) should not be considered anything other than great additions to a board whose mission is the entire university" system, Haine said. "No one campus should take precedence over another."
It was not immediately clear Friday when Quinn might nominate someone to fill the remaining vacancy on the board.
Haine said he planned to table a measure he introduced days after the Senate quashed Quinn's earlier slate of nominees, calling for a stricter geographic makeup of SIU's board in requiring that three trustees be graduates of the Carbondale campus and an identical number from the Edwardsville one.
"I don't see any use in that bill now," Haine said. "It will just fan controversy, and this board needs to avoid controversy and focus on its mission of improving the university."
Also Friday, Quinn also named Jan Spivey Gilchrist, an author and illustrator, to the board of trustees at Eastern Illinois University, and he appointed Darlene Ruscitti, DuPage County's superintendent of schools, to the board of trustees at Northeastern Illinois University.

Immediate Release: September 22, 2010
VESTAL, N.Y. -- The Binghamton volleyball team will take their talents east on Interstate 88 to play the Siena Saints Wednesday night. The match will be the first of two non-conference games for the Bearcats before they begin conference play Oct. 3 against UMBC. BU will be in Syracuse next Wednesday Sept. 29, versus the Orange.
The Bearcats are coming off a disappointing road trip where they competed in the Georgetown Classic. BU went 0-3 during the tournament, losing in straight sets to Georgetown and Furman. Binghamton showed some resolve against East Carolina, in their final match of the tournament, but eventually ran out of gas in a five-set thriller. It was the first win of the season for the Pirates.
Binghamton is 7-2 all-time versus Siena, defeating the Saints in straight sets (25-19, 25-20, 25-22) last season.
Fans will be able to follow the match of the tournament with live stats by clicking here.
A live video feed of the match will also be available by clicking here.
Bearcat Perspective
Senior hitter's Michelle McDonough and Anna Lejina have combined for 331 of the team's 540 kills (61%).
Freshman libero Xiomara Ortiz was named to the Georgetown Classic all-tournament team last weekend.
Junior setter Julie Chambers leads the America East with 9.80 assists per set.
Lejina and McDonough are second and third in the America East, respectively, in kills per set.
Ortiz is pacing the Bearcat defense with 3.96 digs per set, good enough for third in the AE.
Scouting the Saints
Siena defeated Niagara on Sunday in four sets to improve their record to 2-8 on the season.
Niagara was selected as the preseason choice to win the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Binghamton beat Niagara Sept. 8 in a five set match.
Siena was chosen to finish fourth in the MAAC.
Senior outside hitter Aubrey Bobo was selected to the preseason all-conference team.
Freshman Taylor Akana leads the Saints with 3.91 k/s (1st in the MAAC) and 2.77 d/s.
Siena won the MAAC four years in a row from 2005-08.
Up Next: The Bearcats are in action one week from today, Wednesday, Sept. 29 against the Syracuse Orange. The match will take place in Syracuse, N.Y. at 7 p.m.

"I wanted to be around my family, where they could come see me play (and) I fit in well with my coaches and the players," Taylor said.
Most of us who follow recruiting saw the signs on the wall, when Taylor canceled his Florida trip after attending Virginia Tech's senior camp.
"I had a really good feeling after that camp," Taylor said.
Frank Beamer and his staff garnered bonus points with Taylor after telling the 6-foot-2, 185-pound quarterback that he would be the only signal caller that they would recruit for the class of 2007.
Taylor led the Hampton Crabbers to the Group AAA Division 5 State Championship last season. The Scout.com five-star quarterback threw for 1,544 yards and nine touchdowns. He did much of his damage on the ground running for 1,044 yards and 21 touchdowns. Scout.com currently ranks Taylor as the No. 7 rated quarterback in the nation and the No. 33 rated prospect overall.

Hello there! My name is Tommy. I am a 20 year old college student at Bridgewater State University. I am passionate about Boston sports: the Bruins, Celtics, Red Sox and Patriots especially. However, most of my blog here are random reblogs of things I find interesting, funny, entertaining or meaningful. I am also heavily intrigued with some TV shows, such as The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. While I do blog about the Patriots a lot, this is a personal blog and be wary that most of my posts actually are not related to the New England Patriots. With that, give me a follow if you find my reblogs and posts entertaining, and I'll likely follow back! Check me out on twitter @TGoodale

John Wood Community College (JWCC), located in Quincy, Illinois, is one of 48, two-year, open-admission colleges of the Illinois Community College System (ICCS), organized under the Illinois Public Community College Act.[2]
John Wood Community College was founded in 1974 to provide post-secondary education for residents of Community College District 539. JWCC began classes in 1975 with 668 enrolled students.[1][5] Authorized by the Illinois General Assembly and signed by Illinois Governor Otto Kerner, Jr. in 1961, the legislation enacted created the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE). The IBHE was tasked by statute with formulating a Master Plan for Higher Education in the state of Illinois.[8][9] In July 1964 the higher education master plan was published by the IBHE, which led to the passage of the Junior College Act of 1965 by the 72nd Illinois General Assembly.[8][9][10] However, it was not until 1974 that official steps were taken to form a community college within the district boundaries.[1]
Lacking formal facilities of its own, JWCC utilized a "Common Market" approach.[11] The Board of Trustees contracted with area colleges such as Culver-Stockton College, Hannibal-LaGrange College, Quincy College, who would enroll students in their courses on behalf of JWCC.[10] This allowed JWCC to begin operations quickly, by utilizing the staff and facilities of other colleges at a time when the college had few facilities of its own and no instructional staff.[12] The first class graduated from JWCC on May 22, 1976, without ever having attended class at a college owned facility.[13] This Common Market approach continued for the next 15 years, until rising costs of the common market approach compelled the JWCC Board of Trustees to end the contract with Quincy College in 1991. Other contracts were not renewed as they expired.[14]
Due to increasing enrollment, and the phasing out of the Common Market, the college purchased three prefabricated buildings in 1991 to hold classes.[14] By 1996, growth was significant enough that the JWCC Board of Trustees voted to purchase a 155-acre (0.63 km2) site at 48th and Harrison Streets, in Quincy, Illinois. In 1997, the Board of Trustees adopted its Master Plan for a new campus.[14] The first building, the 35,200 square feet (3,270 m2) Science and Technology Center was built and occupied in January 1998.[15] This was followed by the next buildings in the plan; the Learning Center, a Student & Administrative Center, and a Maintenance Building in January 2002. A $16 million project, the new buildings added nearly 103,000 square feet (9,600 m2) to the size of the college. Funding was split between the college and the State of Illinois.[15] In 2004, the 52,000 square feet (4,800 m2) Paul Heath Community Education and Fine Arts Center was completed. The buildings house JWCC's community education, fine arts and Business and Industry Training offices. In 2006, a Student Activity Center (SAC) was completed, that included an 1,800-seat gymnasium, weight room, classroom, locker rooms, and athletic team training rooms. A baseball field, softball field, and additional parking were built as a part of the SAC project.[15]
John Wood Community College currently has its main campus in Quincy, Illinois.[4][5][15] In addition to its main campus, JWCC has several satellite learning centers around the college district. A second primary learning center for classes, known as the Pittsfield Education Center, was opened in Pittsfield, Illinois for the local residents of Pike County.[5][16]
In addition to RLC's two credit learning campuses, the college holds both for credit and non-credit classes at several locations. The JWCC Agricultural Education Center, which supports Agricultural majors seeking to transfer to baccalaureate institutions, is located on the University of Illinois Orr Agronomy Research Center in the city of Perry, Illinois.[5][15] In addition, the college operates the JWCC/Dot Foods Learning Center under a partnership between the company Dot Foods and JWCC.[5] The center serves as both a training facility for Dot Food workers, and for JWCC students in Brown County, Illinois. The college provides the instructors for both Dot Foods and its regular for-credit classes at the center.[17] JWCC also operates an adult learning center in Quincy, Illinois for those working towards completing their GED.[18][19]
Academics and demographics[edit]
John Wood College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) to offer certificates, diplomas and Associate Degrees.[5][20] It received the maximum ten-year accreditation approval by the Higher Learning Commission of the NCA during its last review in 2003.[5]
John Wood Community College takes part in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide transfer agreement which ensures general education credits are transferable among more than 100 participating college or universities in Illinois.[21][22] In addition to the IAI, RLC offers students "two-plus-two" programs that guarantee students that the courses completed at the college will transfer to their majors at four-year baccalaureate institutions. There are two primary divisions at Rend Lake College: the General Education Departments, and the Career and Technical Departments, which encompass six and 14 departments respectively. The departments offer a total of 43 associates degree programs, and 20 certificate programs.[5][23] The college offers four types of Associates Degrees: Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Fine Arts (AFA), Associate in Science (AS), and Associate in Applied Science degree (AAS).[24]
As of April 13, 2009, Spring enrollment at RLC was 2403, of which 1216 were enrolled full-time, and 1187 were enrolled part-time. In addition, 1241 non-credit enrollees were reported by RLC for the same period.[5] Fiscal year 2009 saw a slight decline in the number of enrolled student, yet saw an increase in the total number of credit hours taken at the college.[25]
John Wood College provides a library within its Learning Resources Center at its main Quincy, Illinois Campus. The library has nearly twenty thousand volumes, alongside online resources and a media learning area.[26] It has facilities for study, research, leisure reading, class preparation, and wireless Internet access for students.[27]

Canadians Who Topped the British Singles Chart
Topping the UK Singles Chart has proven to be one of the most challenging feats for a Canadian recording artist over the years. Less Canadians than you would think have crowned the chart and many you would assume have done so have not. From the 1950s until the present, only eight Canadians have scored a #1 hit in Britain: four women and four men. No bands have made the grade. There were a few who were able to hit the top as a featured artist (Drake), a group with a Canadian member (The Archies), or a collaboration (DVBBS with Borgeous and Tinie Tempah) but for the purposes of this list, we will count these simply as honourable mentions.
The first Canadian recording artist to score a number one hit in Britain was Ottawa's rock and roll pioneer Paul Anka. He charted a total of 15 songs in the UK from 1957 until 1974 but it was only his first that hit the top: "Diana". The song spent a total of 25 weeks on the chart including nine weeks at #1. It sold over a million copies in the land of Buckingham.
Winnipeg's Terry Jacks scored two hits in the UK. "Seasons in the Sun" reached number one there in 1974 as it did just about everywhere else. It had been 17 years since a Canuck was on top.
North Vancouver's Bryan Adams has landed 36 songs on the UK charts. Only one of them hit the top, and that was "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" in 1991. The blockbuster smash which remained on top for 16 weeks also propelled his album Waking Up the Neighbours to the top of the British Albums chart, something that hadn't happened since Neil Young's Harvest in 1972.
Céline Dion (Charlemagne, QC) is the only Canadian to score more than one chart-topper in Britain. "Think Twice" was her first in 1994. The second was of course "My Heart Will Go On" in 1998. Surprisingly, though, the former was a bigger hit than the latter. "Think Twice" remained on the charts for 31 weeks and spent seven of them on top. Celine has enjoyed 30 charting singles in the UK.
With 18 hits in Britain, Victoria's Nelly Furtado was fortunate to have one of them crown the chart, and that one was 2006's "Maneater". Nelly was the only Canadian artist to receive a BRIT award during the noughties decade.
Six years after Nelly topped the British charts, her BC sister, Mission's Carly Rae Jepsen did the same with "Call Me Maybe," the best-selling international single of the year. The song remained on the UK charts for 48 weeks, four of them at #1. Carly has seen four charting singles in Britain so far.
Though he's from California, Robin Thicke is a Canadian citizen (he has dual citizenship). His "Blurred Lines" reached #1 in 2013 and is still on the UK charts having spent 51 weeks thus far.
The most recent Canadian to hit #1 in the United Kingdom is Calgary's Kiesza. "Hideaway" is her 2014 debut single, and she became a household name in Britain before most Canucks had heard of her. With the seven names above, Kiesza is in pretty blessed company.
Bryan Adams in Concert
The king of heartland rock is in the middle of his cross-Canada tour which began in St. John's on April 11; tonight he is in Toronto. After Thunder Bay, May 9th, he is off to Portugal and will return to do western Canada in June. Bryan Adams released his first hit single in 1979, "Let Me Take You Dancing" which received extensive airplay on Vancouver's "LG73″. After two albums that saw modest sales, he unleashed his triple platinum Cuts Like a Knife in 1983 which spawned 3 Top 40 hits. This album was basically the setup for his hydrogen bomb, Reckless, the first Canadian album in history to go diamond at home with a million copies sold and 6 Top 20 hits, including "Run to You" which made the Top 5.
In 1991, Adams released his second diamond album, Waking up the Neighbours, which saw one of the biggest hit singles in history top the charts around the globe and was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster motion picture Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The song was "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You". Waking Up the Neighbours became the first Canadian album since Neil Young's Harvest in 1972 to top the album charts in the United Kingdom. Although the 90s saw Adam's greatest success on the singles charts (9 number ones), most think of him as an 80s sensation. His achievements brought unsurpassed Canadian pride to those who spent their youth in that decade.
Check out the tour dates on Bryan Adams' website.
What is Bryan Adams up to, "Tonight in Babylon"?
Bryan Adams was the very first Canadian recording artist to score a diamond album when he released Reckless in 1984. In 1991, he scored his second diamond album, Waking Up the Neighbours. It became the first Canadian album to top the British charts since Neil Young's Harvest way back in 1972. Waking Up the Neighbours included Adams' biggest international hit, "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You". The song, featured in the Hollywood movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, not only topped the singles charts in a number of countries around the world, it became the biggest song of the year in many of them. Adams has scored some 37 Top 40 singles and won 17 JUNO awards. Simply put, he is perhaps the most successful Canadian male solo artist of all-time.
Bryan will be touring Canada in a few months. Today he put up a good quality music video for "Tonight in Babylon", a collaboration with DJ trance group Loverush UK. For your convenience, we've embedded the video below. And, my gosh it's good!

ATF Tunes: And when you find me there you'll search no more
Early February 1993, I had been in Guyana for nearly a year helping out with a literacy project and became extremely ill with typhoid fever. I travelled from New Amsterdam to Georgetown to see a doctor. While waiting to cross the coastal highway, a truck stopped, pulling over slightly towards the curb. I began to cross. Delirious with the illness, the sound of a horn did not seem to be real. The truck had pulled over: why would it be honking at me? But the volume of the horn increased. As it turned out, the large truck had stopped to allow a smaller, faster truck to pass it, and this smaller vehicle was now but several metres away from me refusing to put on the brakes. I had seconds to dart out of the way and was so weak with the typhoid that I didn't know if I could. It was like a moment when you are given a choice: let it end now or carry on with life. Obviously I chose the second option and managed to leap forward out of the way.
After picking up some chloramphenicol, in a miserable state, and very homesick, I hopped onto a so-called mini-bus (15-seater van used like a taxi). These vans are notorious for having the latest car stereo system. The drivers usually crank up the volume ignoring complaints from the passengers and play the raunchiest reggae music imaginable. But this time something magical happened. As the mini-bus pulled out of the car park, a song came over the speakers that was sung by someone from my hometown of North Vancouver, BC. I had to fight back the tears. That song was Bryan Adams "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You". I think it was a more effective cure than the chloramphenicol.
Adams co-wrote the song with Michael Kamen and Robert John "Mutt" Lange and it was featured on the soundtrack of the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. "I Do It for You" was a #1 single all over the world, selling 10 million copies, making it one of the best-selling singles of all-time. In Canada it was the biggest song of the year. A Canadian artist scoring the #1 song of the year had not happened since Corey Hart's "Never Surrender" in 1985. It's one of the Canadian Music Blog's favourite songs of all-time by a Canadian artist.
By the way, thank you Bryan for saving me.
Look into my eyes – you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart – search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do – I do it for you
Look into your heart – you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am – take my life
I would give it all – I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it – there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do – I do it for you
There's no love – like your love
And no other – could give more love
There's nowhere – unless you're there
All the time – all the way
Oh – you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it – there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you – I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you – ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do – I do it for you
Song: "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You"

"Tears Are Not Enough" by Northern Lights
Notable Canadian band manager Bruce Allen organized a project to record a charity single for African famine relief in response to Britain's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" Jim Vallance in an interview told the story of how things came together in writing and recording the song "Tears Are Not Enough" sung by a supergroup of Canadian artists called Northern Lights.
…in 1985, David [Foster] returned to Vancouver for a year. He and his wife Rebecca bought a house in the same neighbourhood where Bryan Adams and I lived, but we didn't see much of them. One day I ran into David in the lobby of Little Mountain Sound Studio, where he was producing an album for Paul Hyde and Bob Rock's group, The Payolas. He approached me in a panic and said, "You have a home studio, right?" I replied that I did.
Visibly excited, David told me he'd just got off the phone with Quincy Jones, who'd just finished recording a Michael Jackson / Lionel Ritchie song for African famine relief called "We Are The World". Quincy played the song for David over the phone, and said he wanted David to record a Canadian song for Africa — and it had to be finished in the next week or two so it could be included on the U.S. album release!
"We Are The World" was written in response to Bob Geldoff's "Do They Know It's Christmas", recorded and released the year before (1984). Geldoff's song raised millions of dollars for Africa, and had already made a significant difference to those suffering from drought and famine. Quincy hoped that a Canadian song might help make a difference too.
David already had a melody, borrowed from a song he'd been working on, and he had a title, "Tears Are Not Enough", which had been provided by Paul Hyde and Bob Rock. It was nearly twenty years later (2004) when I finally heard the story behind the "title":
Paul and Bob had been in the studio with Foster on the day that Quincy Jones called. Several weeks earlier they'd written a song called "Tears Are Not Enough", and after the call from Quincy they played their song for David, thinking it might be suitable for the Famine Relief recording. "So, what do you think?" they asked, when they'd finished presenting the song. "Nice title", David replied.
The next morning (Friday, February 1, 1985) David arrived at my home studio. He played me his melody on the piano. It was a pretty ballad with an interesting, circular chord progression. He also mentioned Paul and Bob's title, "Tears Are Not Enough", which I thought was excellent.
With the melody and the title we had enough to get started, so began recording the track right away. Using his Emulator synthesizer David laid down a piano, followed by a Moog bass, then a bell sound. I added drums and percussion. An hour or two later we had a "basic track" (it was only intended to be a quick "demo" recording, but it worked so well we ended up using it for the final recording).
Then we started working on the lyrics:
We can close the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't you know that tears are not enough
It was a good start, but David had to rush away for a session with The Payolas, promising to return the following day. I continued work on the lyrics while my wife Rachel [Paiement] wrote a few lines in French — after all, it was a Canadian song for Africa!
The next day Bryan Adams arrived from Los Angeles and hurried over to help. He looked at the lyrics I'd written so far and immediately suggested an improvement. "How about 'we can BRIDGE the distance'?", he said. It was perfect, and with that we were off and running.
We finished the lyric later that evening, then Bryan and Rachel recorded the vocals. The demo was completed at 4:00 a.m. the next morning.
Meanwhile, David enlisted Bryan's manager Bruce Allen to help assemble a roster of performers. Bruce was well-connected in the music industry, and in quick succession Joni Mitchell and Neil Young agreed to participate. Then Kim Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot. Burton Cummings came on board, and so did Geddy Lee and Corey Hart.
Comedians John Candy and Catherine O'Hara offered their services, along with legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson and David Letterman sidekick Paul Shaffer. Dan Hill, Jane Sibbery, Sylvia Tyson, Robert Charlebois … the list of participants grew by the hour.
I suggested we record the vocals at Manta Studios [in Toronto], where I'd recorded Bryan Adams' first album (and also Barney Bentall, Lisa Dal Bello and Cano). The room was big enough to accommodate a large group, and I also knew that veteran engineer Hayward Parrott could handle the complex task of recording 30 soloists … plus a chorus of 50!
Michael Godin (A&M Records) contacted Manta owner Andy Hermant, who generously donated the studio. On Saturday (February 9, 1985) we flew to Toronto to prepare for the mammoth recording session planned for the following day.
During the flight we reviewed the lyric sheet and the list of artists and determined who would sing which line. We decided the song should begin with Canadian legend Gordon Lightfoot ("As everyday goes by …"), then move to Burton Cummings ("How can we close our eyes …"), then to Anne Murray, Joni Mitchell, and so on.
The session took place on Sunday, February 10, 1985. It was a bitter cold day, but hundreds of fans gathered outside Manta to watch the "stars" arrive. Gordon Lightfoot drove himself to the studio in a pick-up truck. Neil Young and Joni Mitchell arrived by taxi. Platinum Blonde arrived in a white stretch limo.
Just as Quincy Jones had done in Los Angeles, Foster taped a poster in the studio lobby that said, "Leave your egos at the door". Everyone gave 200 percent, and at the end of the day we had the makings of a magical record.
One of the funniest moments happened during Neil Young's performance. He'd sung his line once or twice already, but Foster still wasn't happy and asked Neil to try again. When Neil asked why, David told him he was out of tune. "That's my style, man", Neil shot back.
For me, one of the highlights was sitting on the studio floor a few feet from Joni Mitchell while she carved graceful lines in the air with her hands as she sang. Another special moment was meeting Richard Manuel, singer and pianist for "The Band". In fact, Joni Mitchell and "The Band" are two of my biggest musical influences. I was in "fan heaven", meeting them and hearing them sing lyrics I'd written!
After completing the vocal session in Toronto, David and I returned to Vancouver and booked time at Pinewood Studios and Little Mountain Sound where more instruments were added to the track, including Loverboy's Doug Johnson and Paul Dean, who contributed keyboards and guitar. Steven Denroche, a member of the Vancouver Symphony, was called in to play French Horn…
One important Canadian artist unable to attend the Toronto recording session was Bruce Cockburn, who was performing in Germany at the time. Cockburn 's manager, Bernie Finkelstein, wondered if there wasn't a way Bruce could record his vocal at a studio in Germany and have it edited into the finished product at a later date. It was a nice idea, but to meet our deadline Bruce's contribution would have to be filmed and recorded sometime in the next 48 hours. In a moment of weakness I volunteered to fly to Germany!
The good news is, Air Canada provided a free ticket. The bad news is, there were no direct fights — so I had to fly from Vancouver to Toronto, Toronto to London, London to Frankfurt, and Frankfurt to Hamburg … a 44-hour round-trip. I arrived in Hamburg just in time to catch Bruce's performance at a club on Tuesday evening. I met him backstage, for the first time, after the show.
I'd brought a cassette tape of the song, which Bruce hadn't heard yet. But before I could even play the tape, Bruce dropped a bomb. He said he hadn't yet decided if he wanted to participate in the project!
Bernie had neglected to tell me that Bruce hadn't made up his mind yet — and I'd just spent 22 hours on a #$&@ airplane! In my sleep-deprived, jet-lagged stupor my first reaction was to reach across the table and grab Bruce by the throat with both hands. Instead, I used every ounce of diplomacy I could muster. I told Bruce how magical the session in Toronto had been … how it was truly a special project, and that everyone was looking forward to his involvement, which was true!
Bruce eventually came around, and he agreed to meet me at a Hamburg recording studio the following morning. It took less than an hour to complete Bruce's audio and video recording, then it was back to the airport for the 22-hour return flight to Vancouver (via Frankfurt, London and Toronto).
I met one of the film people at the airport in Toronto during my two-hour lay-over, and I handed him the Cockburn footage to edit into the video. After spending a much-needed night in my own bed in Vancouver, I flew to Los Angeles the next morning to deliver Bruce's audio track. Foster and his assistant Chris Earthy met me at the airport, and we rushed over to Kenny Roger's "Lion's Share" studio where Cockburn's vocal was edited into the audio mix that engineer Humberto Gatica had nearly completed.
"Tears Are Not Enough" reached #1 on the Canadian charts and helped raise more than $3-million for African Famine Relief.

It didn't receive much attention outside of Quebec but Francophone artists banded together to record an additional charity single for African famine relief. Celine Dion, Rene & Nathalie Simard and others lent their voices to the beautiful "Les Yeux de la Faim".

Have you tried any of the recipes in Gwyneth Paltro's cookbooks?
- Fowler Apr 12, 2013 10:29 AM
I try my best to remain open-minded. Have any of you tried recipes from the Gwyneth Paltro cookbooks? If so, how did you like them? Are there any you would highly recommend?
Being that I like fat, alcohol, red meat and dairy I can't see myself ever reading her newest cookbook. But my (now) vegan co worker loves her spicy sweet potato soup and the chocolate almond cupcakes. She brought in the leftover soup and it did smell amazing but I don't think Gwyn would have approved of her reheating in the microwave inside a plastic container.
And this article says her spin on "Huevos Rancheros" holds some creative promise. :)
I haven't opened the cookbook but during a brief fundraising commitment I did visit her blog several times and the recipe didn't appear to be super complex or necessarily her original composition of a recipe. More like what she enjoyed eating.
I recall a Chinese chicken salad and some pancakes her father was fond of making. Is the cookbook the same style as her recipe blog?
re: HillJ
My understanding is that she spent quite a bit of time with a food chef or coach of some sort who taught her methods to make gluten free or less refined baking moist and appetizing. She uses vegan products, vegenaise instead of mayonaise for example. She gives substitutes for simple sugars that are more on the organic side. I did not find her to be lightweight in her approach, she lives and eats quite healthy. I did learn about different foods and think her first book is quite informative.
re: Ruthie789
Okay, then you've answered my ?, her cookbook is similar to the food section of her blog which features much of what you've described.
re: Ruthie789
Depends on how you define healthy. She has osteopenia, which is probably caused by her diet.
re: LMAshton
She is now a flexatarian and her first book is a reflection of that. I know she was on a rigid diet pre-children perhaps that may be a contributing factor.
re: Ruthie789
Ruthie, after reading your response I thought about asking the question and then I told myself not to because I would just look like some out of date old person that is not hip to what is going on with the Hollywood types these days.
But then I thought...why not ask the question and learn something from these hipsters?
Ok, Ruthie. What is a "flexatarian"?
re: Fowler
re: Fowler
It`s ok Fowler I didn`t know the term either. She eats numerous vegetarian meals a week but does allow herself to have fish, chicken and eggs sometimes. Previously my understanding was that she was on some kind of very restrictive macrobiotic diet and did not eat any meat and dairy at all.
The WaPo had a good article on her newest book last week. It's a funny read.
"It's only noon, and I'm almost done cooking my first meal of the day."
I recall the author made muffins that were a major fail, but other recipes were OK.
The author tells of spending $80 for ONE days' worth of food. Seriously?
re: monavano
I could see that groceries would be expensive Gwyneth style, she seems to use the best, and unrefined and some unusual ingredients that you have to buy at a health food store,it all adds up.
Yes I made the muffins from Gwyneth Paltrow's first book. I think what is good about the first book is she introduces you to different types of flours for baking and non dairy mixtures (soy instead of milk). She uses maple syrup as a source of sugar in some recipes. I have made the spiced apple crumb muffins and got many compliments on them. I think she has researched her baking and has done some testing on it and for those who want to get away from refined foods this cookbook is a must. Or at least go the library and check it out.
re: ItalianNana
I love celebrity cookbooks - especially the oddball ones. I think Gwyneth's cookbook is a sincere effort and judging by other posts, many of the recipes are good.
I used to have Vincent and Mary Price's A Treasury of Great Recipes - which it was, but not very vegetarian friendly so it made it's way to Half Price Books. I still have Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah - Dinah Shore's cookbook, and I had to keep Dom Deluise's Eat This...It'll Make You Feel Better! because it makes me smile.
If I come across used celebrity cookbooks I usually buy them - just because. That's not to say they won't wind up back at Half Price Books. They can be fun to read.
I realize hers are not cookbooks you find interesting. That's cool. To each their own.
re: MplsM ary
I've read great things about Vincent Price's cooking. And I've also heard raves about a cookbook Sophia Loren put out years ago.
re: LulusMom
Vincent Price was quite the cook. He was also rather imposing in terms of his view on food. He would not eat food that was not up to his standards and would not hesitate to say if the food was bad. I was a fan of his, and saw him talk about his food perspective on a talk show.
I have tried a few recipes from her new book that are posted online. The Thai chicken burgers over baby bok choy, the ginger carrots and the hoisin sauce are all really great. I will make all of them again. I used the hoisin on grilled chicken.
I haven't had a chance to look through the new book yet.
The new book is based on an elimination and detox diet. I eat this way much of the time already so it's not new to me. I don't know if the recipes posted on the Internet are reflective of the book in its entirety or not, but if they are, I will buy the book.
I have made two things from "It's All Good". The Mexican Green Goddess Dressing was delicious on my own variation of a taco salad. I used a yogurt base rather than Veganese- it was really tangy and surprisingly spicy. Minutes ago I finished making her risotto with greens and peas, and I'm really impressed. There is no wine or cheese, but it's still rich, creamy and flavorful. I'm going to pack it for four days' worth of work lunches this week.
re: Jetgirly
Since I got the book I've made a few more things. The gluten-free Sweet Potato Five Spice muffins are really good. They smell amazing. I think this is one of those recipes where the texture will vary a lot depending on the type of gluten-free flour blend you use, so perhaps consider using one you've baked with before. I've also been eating the NY Street Vendor Salad, which is just a simple mixed salad, but the yogurt-tahini dressing here is a stand-out. I've made other dressings with lemon and tahini before and not been impressed; this one is really, really, really good. To make the salad more filling I've also been adding shredded savoy cabbage and a bit of sheep feta, and I always feel sad when I'm finished my lunchtime salad, knowing that none remains... I did try the sweet potato soup that is noted above and while I found it good, it wasn't as good as some other sweet potato soup recipes that I've made before. I added a bit of pumpkin-cilantro pesto (a Clean Eating recipe) to add both color and flavor to that particular recipe.
As for the costs, I think they're very reasonable. Sure, someone with NO FOOD at all in their home might have to spend eighty bucks to buy the ingredients for one day's worth of foods, but it's not like they would use up all of those ingredients in one day. I haven't found the cost of cooking these meals to move my weekly food budget up or down. Also, most people probably aren't eating three Gwyneth meals and two Gwyneth snacks a day (I assume?).
re: Jetgirly
Gwyneth has learnt her diet from chefs and nutrition specialists. Her first book was based on what she cooked and tested with a specialist in her type of diet. I found her first cookbook quite good and approachable in terms of recipe costs and ingredients.
I just bought her cook book two weeks ago, and I have made several things and they are all winners so far. While I am in the fat, dairy, red meat camp, I was looking for something different as I am trying to eat a little healthier and lose a couple of nagging pounds. I wasn't intending on buying her cookbook until I saw some of the pics for the salads, and fish. (Looked rather appealing.)
The recipes I have made so far include - Thai Chicken Burgers which are divine. Lots of umami from the fish sauce (sodium?) but nevertheless, delicious.
Quinoa with argula and roasted mushrooms - definitely eat again
Quinoa breakfast (simple almond milk, quinoa and fruits on hand) - not rocket science but not eliminated the thinking of what to do with the leftover quinoa.
There isn't anything crazy inventive or complicated. It is a straight forward and simple in some cases. The criticisms re: price of her food... I usually carry a pretty stocked fridge and perhaps outside of the xylitol (sugar substitute - did not buy) and veganaise (I used Hellman's half fat - I'm not vegan), I think the ingredients are generally pretty easy to source. I think it is easy to hate on her, but if you don't like her, you can just ignore her. Her cookbook isn't going to change the world, but it has introduced some tasty meals into our home. I am definitely a fan.
re: Apple
I don't understand why she is disliked, she is just a human being like the rest of us. Her cookbooks are interesting offering new ideas which one could take or leave. I purchased the veganaise and found it really rich. I have her first cookbook and have made a number of recipes which I enjoyed.
re: Ruthie789
"I don't understand why she is disliked"
Hi Ruthie, I do not know her personally or even much about her so I neither like or dislike her. But I suspect some people (I am not referring to anyone here) may dislike her because she is thin, beautiful and rich. I am sure there may be other reasons as well but I would put envy high on the list of why some dislike her.
re: Fowler
I tend to agree. She seemed to be America's sweetheart for awhile and could do no wrong. She has tried to be accessible to her fans through her blog, GOOP, but I think that it may have distanced her instead, as the items she likes are often very expensive and her lifestyle outside the home is rather jet-set. I like her blog, I think she's just trying to share what inspires her.
re: Fowler
I don't hate her either - that's a really strong feeling to have for a stranger - but she annoys a lot of people (myself included, sometimes) by presenting herself as just a "regular mom" and then recommending all these pricey and unattainable things that only rich people can afford. It's basically the running joke of her newsletter GOOP.
re: piccola
I love GOOP - her Mexican dinner was a knock out success - no weird, obscure ingredients unless cilantro stems are out there. :) Also I love her travel guides and I like looking at the clothes (I can't afford)
She had a recipe for simple avocado toast (sliced avocado on top of veganaise covered toast) - I've substituted PB - no Veganaise dealer near me - and eaten it three times this week for breakfast. It's fantastic.
re: Ruthie789
Is it similar to mayonnaise in the way that say Miracle Whip is, or does it really taste like mayonnaise? I've often wondered about this product, but I *really* like mayo, and really dislike Miracle Whip, so I'm afraid of veganaise.
re: LulusMom
It is very similar to mayonnaise not sweet like Miracle Whip. It is quite thick and rich. It is very good, just found it so comparable to mayonnaise that it was not worth the expense. It is a great option for vegans and comes in various options.
re: Ruthie789
Thanks Ruthie. Aside from being vegan, is there any reason to eat it instead of mayonnaise? Is it less caloric or heavy on the sodium?
re: LulusMom
As I recall it is even more caloric than regular mayo. I don't think it is healthier. I have had an interest in vegan recipes but have noted that the replacements do not always reduce the calories.
re: Ruthie789
Thank you - very helpful answer. I'm not vegan, but am interested in trying to get my family to eat a vegan meal once or twice a week. But I'm not going to make choices that I don't think are less healthful (or delicious - I'm not giving up butter for margarine, for instance).
re: LulusMom
It doesn't have calcium disodium EDTA like regular mayo has.
calcium disodium EDTA is made from formaldehyde, sodium cayanide, and Ethylenediamine. Yum.
Although it is approved for use in some foods, it is on the FDA priority list for further study for problems with birth defects, cancer and reproductive problems.
re: Apple
I just find GOOP hilarious. There have been lots of articles about following her advice and they're pretty entertaining: http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/05/i-tri...
re: piccola
GOOP...strange name for a newsletter at least in my neck of the woods. GOOP is a product we use to clean our hands when they are really, really dirty.
I can understand your point about the annoyance factor if she is trying to portray herself as just a regular ol' Mom. The "regular Mom" that comes to my mind is my Mom who made all of our clothes, did her best to make great meals for us each day and also did everything else on a razor thin budget.
re: Fowler
Perhaps behind the scenes are nannies, maids or cooks, but she seems to genuinely like cooking. Agreed she's not your regular Mom, mine had us eating hamburger meat 5 days a week, budget, was always her main concern. Gwyneth does not talk about budget does she?
re: Fowler
Yeah, I think it's the disconnect that people find irritating (or in my case, funny).

An educated guess at a pre-Louisville Miami Hurricanes depth chart, Al Golden says 'deuces'
- 2:06 pm Thursday, August 28th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES – With the season-opener less than five days away, UM coach Al Golden has not released a final depth chart. UM will practice until Saturday, giving players to make last-minute cases for playing time.
Based on what we've seen all camp, let's assess potential starters, in order of "position is almost certainly settled" to "completely up in the air."
Let's talk defense, first
Three seniors who have played a lot the last three years – middle linebacker Denzel Perryman, defensive end Anthony Chickillo, defensive tackle Olsen Pierre – are sure to start against Louisville. Write those in pen. Perryman's backup [More]
Brad Kaaya, Jake Heaps co-starters on Hurricanes' first 2014 depth chart
- 3:20 pm Thursday, August 14th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES – Brad Kaaya, who was doggedly recruited by UM before he signed in February, is the Hurricanes' apparent quarterback of the future.
Coach Al Golden isn't saying whether the future is here.
Kaaya, a freshman who arrived in late May from suburban Los Angeles, was listed as a co-starter on UM's first depth chart of training camp along with Jake Heaps, a 23-year-old graduate transfer who played last year at Kansas.
Day 7 camp notes: QBs ready for scrimmage, injury bug hits, defensive swaps

CORAL GABLES — Heading into the first of two camp scrimmages, coach Al Golden said the competition at quarterback is as tight as can be.
"It's just unbelievable when you think about it," he said. "Couple weeks ago, it was three guys who we hadn't seen, you know? Really. They squeezed it down pretty good. It's a heck of a battle."
Who's up, who's down after Miami Hurricanes first spring scrimmage

CORAL GABLES – Assessing the "who's up, who's down" from Saturday's scrimmage, the first of three to be held this spring:
At Tuesday's practice, defensive tackle Earl Moore became the first defensive tackle this spring to wear a black practice jersey. The Hurricanes use jersey colors to denote player status. Black shirts are given to defensive team leaders.
"Earl's been steady," defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio said, adding that "the light went on" about five practices ago. Head coach Al Golden said JUCO transfer Calvin Heurtelou is slightly behind Moore, while junior Corey King still needs to show more.
Sophomore defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad did not participate in practice. He performed mostly balance and stability drills on the side, wearing a red (no-contact) jersey. D'Onofrio said he injured his ankle early in the scrimmage "and fought through it." Golden said senior defensive tackle Olsen Pierre (concussion) is working his way back slowly. Pierre was not present at practice.
D'Onofrio, presented with the idea of a bulked-up Anthony Chickillo playing less strong-side defensive end and more defensive tackle: "He's playing all the spots and all the techniques which is only going to help him," but he will stay primarily at end. Golden said last week Chickillo will likely play inside on third down, as he did last year, likely next to Ufomba Kamalu, and Muhammad and McCord at opposite ends.
Chickillo and Muhammad combined for a safety on the first play of the scrimmage. Muhammad later had another sack.
Hurricanes spring practice notes: QB Olsen pushing Williams, D-line analysis, tackling, depth chart, Knighton update
- 6:34 pm Tuesday, March 18th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES — The Hurricanes had their first practice in 11 days Tuesday morning at Greentree Fields.
A few storylines to ponder:
QBs battling it out: It wasn't a great day for the Hurricanes' offense – coach Al Golden said the defense was "tougher and more physical" – but the two UM quarterbacks vying for the starting job produced a few highlights.
Redshirt freshman Kevin Olsen completed several passes with zip and produced a pretty 20-yard touch pass over the middle to tight end Jake O'Donnell. Senior Ryan Williams had a touchdown to Stacy Coley, diagnosing a blitz and letting his receiver do the work.
Williams is still the favorite to start this fall based on experience, but Golden said Olsen is pushing hard.
