I am getting tired of every single media source describing the dead boy as "an unarmed youth". He was a huge, hulking, not-at-all-gentle giant who was HIGH and who had just committed a crime when he was noticed by the cops. GET REAL!!!! Stop with the propaganda. He ATTACKED a police officer. Stop the frickin political (IN)correctness. These kids make their bed and when they wet it, expect us to feel sorry for them when al hell break loose. You can't fix stupid and these people in town and in our once-great nation, need to wake up. They, and others, have DESTROYED their community. I hope my TAX DOLLARS do not go to pay to rebuild a community that opted to destroy itself. I feel very sorry for the law-abiding citizens of Ferguson. Move out to a more civilized town. One that really knows and understands the rule of law and how to (irony) COEXIST!! Prayers.

Wow!! So many of these comments about Glenn are disheartening. I know people are angry. I certainly am angry and frustrated with the statre of this country and the world. Ignoring what Glenn is saying about taking the high road though makes you no better than "the enemy"~ the leftist haters. Haters gonna hate, right? Don't be one of them. Be above the fray and then take your gloves off only when it is necessary.

Hello! In Europe, it is not an option to stop at a stripey crosswalk. It is not like in this country where you slow down and maybe stop. If a pedestrian is crossing you MUST stop. You must slow way down when approaching the crosswalk. This truck going through the crosswalk would be akin to running a red light in our country. The translation is…"Holy Cow, this guy is going to be charged with manslaughter". Period.

Thank God for Glenn Beck. Forget who gets credit now because she is home. We all know it was Glenn and his staff that rescued her. although it is a disgrace that Huckabee does not acknowledge the obvious. I hope justice is served in this world…if not I am pretty sure God will something to say about it in the afterlife. A lot of evil went on in this case and Thank HIS MAJESTY for His mercy. Justina, live on and live free and persevere. Glenn, just know you are a true unsung hero in this human tragedy. You Rock!!

If women were capable of fending off their attackers, they would not be a protected class. If women, through preparation, become empowered, then there is no one to be angry at because there would be a TAKEDOWN!! Take it a step further…if women were not afraid to carry guns, they wouldn't need martial arts training, they could just use their First Amendment rights to blow attackers away. But no! The feminists would rather see women raped than able to defend themselves.

You go, Lady!!! Over-testing is ridiculous and burdensome and stresses our kids out so much!!!!! There is a lot of testing that does not measure aptitude when you come right down to it. It is just a way to measure the immeasurable, get state/federal funding and herd our children into a one-size fits all ridiculous way to learn. The math stuff is the worst. 20 steps to get the answer to 2 plus 2 equals 4? And in the end, if you show your work properly and get the wrong answer, what is important is the work not the right answer. Give me a BREAK!!!!! This is real people, and our kids are going to suffer for it. My husband is a math guy and when he sat down to help my son, who is very good at math himself, found that he was lost because of the methods they were teaching the kids to use to come to a fairly easy conclusion. It is only going to get worse with Common Core and that is the goal. Parents not able to help their kids with simple math is the goal, because then they will totally rely on the schools to "educate" no matter how convoluted, erroneous and ridiculous the method!! Get rid of it NOW! Teachers hate it, parents hate it and kids hate it. 'Nuff said.

This is just not the kind of story the rest of the media will NOT cover. Almost no other people but Blaze readers know about Justina's plight. They would be outraged, too if they knew!!! But the American people have not heard of these outrages…not on a large scale. If they had, and understood the consequences, they would be scared that this kind of gov't control might me meted out on them. In a way, I think the 24/7 news cycle has left us numb to hearing real stories. This is so wrong on SO MANY levels. That, and the story of our gallant American soldier being held in a Mexican prison without any help from this administration, but we free a deserter????? Irony, much????

If you have ever been on a New York City subway during rush hour, going downtown, or uptown, you would know this dress is ridiculously impractical. It is always crowded, and you are stuffed into the cars like sardines. Even if you are not trying to be rude, YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN SOMEONE'S PERSONAL SPACE…IF NOT 6 OTHER PEOPLE'S PERSONAL SPACE. Sorry to yell. It's just silly. Most new Yorkers just say "sorry" and try to read their paper or pretend they don't notice anyone else is squashed next to them while listening to their tunes on their I-phone…but no one expects privacy. I have personally had awful experiences when I have been physically molested because a pervert had tried to take advantage of this awkward situation. I called them out publically. "Hey, what are you doing leaning up against me like that? You don't think I can feel that? Get off of me!" Done and done. Problem solved.

Who wrote the PROOF for this math? Oh for God's sake????!!!!!!!!!! Engineers would find this ridiculous because math is all about getting to the verb in the shortest way possible. Good PROOFS are very simple. Complexity breeds questions and mistakes. Math is NOT an essay, except when showing the work is necessary for clarity. I actually heard a teacher (not in our school system) who said…"It is not important that the student gets the answer right. The student might actually get the answer wrong, but if the steps to get the answer were followed, he might still get credit because the student followed the formula correctly even though the student arrived at the wrong conclusion". Really? Where was this MATH when I was in school?

All the cynics saying "It won't make a diff…" need to realize if we DON'T stand up it won't make a diff either and will send a message that we don't even care to stand up. C'mon people!!!!!!!! If you don't fight you will NEVER win. Grow some cojones!!!! The left fights hard for their agenda and the right is full of wussies who Kowtow to pressure of "public opinion, which is nothing more than bad press from the mainstream media. Get angry and get active in a productive way so that we can save this republic, if you believe it is worth saving. Why is the radical left braver when, in fact, we are on the righteous side of things? Are we so concerned about being "the popular kid???" I just lectured my teenaged daughter about this very thing. If being popular means you have to be who you are not or at least be perceived that way, then being popular is not worth it and it is beneath you if you compromise who you are at your core, which is a good person. Why are politicians more concerned about being accepted and popular in DC and the press as opposed to doing what is right for the people who elected them? It is shameful and I truly hope the sh@@ hits the fan soon in these upcoming elections.

"Let us bow our heads, to no one and nothing for we are the masters of our fates and we need no help from anyone or thing larger than ourselves. We are the focus of good and we will celebrate our perfect flawlessness which will guide us in our endeavors. Okay, so maybe we are imperfect creatures, but we do our best and will look to our better selves and hope our wiser, purer natures prevail over our baser human desires and tendencies. We don't need no stinkin' deity to help us through our days or our deliberations. We can do this on our own. We are just PEOPLE; we are compassionate, we are full of wisdom and have confidence that when we make laws, those folks who have no belief system will follow our example as good people. A country can be led by people who believe in the overall GOOD nature of the human race. We can turn our heads away from the tyrannical tendencies of humankind when left unchecked and believe that mankind, though flawed is largely good. We can ignore Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Sadam Hussein and many others, because power does not corrupt. There are just bad people. Whoops!!! We mean, most men are good and just and we don't need to look toward a higher power for our morality because man is the essence of morality….um….okay, gonna say Amen right now, or maybe it would be better to end with power to the people, cuz we're great…cuz we are ummmm, okay I don't know how to end this without looking like a total ass.

Mayor laments missed chance to help teen killed during robbery
Updated On: Dec 12 2012 06:59:41 PM EST
Mason's mayor is left to wonder what he could have done to help a teenager shot to death during an attempted convenience store robbery.
"This gentleman stops by and comes up and introduces himself, and he asks me, he says, 'Are you the governor?' I said no, no, I'm not the governor, I'm the mayor," said Mayor David Nichols, recalling his introduction to the teen.
From those first chuckles at Mason High School, a bond was born between Nichols and senior Lashawn Daniels.
"It turned out he was basically a homeless individual, no parents," Nichols said.
Months passed and Daniels graduated. Nichols said he recently received a letter addressed "to a wise man."
"I remember you giving me your card and telling if I need anything feel free to call," the letter read.
Nichols said the teen didn't ask for money.
"In so many cases, this man has nothing, and at least with me, he never asked for money," Nichols said.
All the teen asked for was support, he said.
"I have dreams of working at Procter and Gamble, and I know it's going to be a challenge getting into the door," the teen said in his letter. "The favor that I ask is if you can write a letter of recommendation for me."
Nichols said he and some City Council members were in the process of helping the teen when Daniels was shot and killed while trying to hold up a gas station with a BB gun.
"We're sitting here, a young man who has graduated, was enrolled in college, what did we miss?" Nichols said. "What happened?"
Nichols said he doesn't condone what the teen did in the last moments of his life, but he wants to make sure that's not the last thing the world hears about him.
"The bigger message is, it's so easy for all of us to get caught up in what we thinks so important, but a lot of what we take for granted is a dream for anybody else," Nichols said. "Take the time."

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Excellent quality! These turned out so well. I would definitely order these again, but for a different occasion this time. ;)"
"I am so pleased with the wedding invitations I ordered! The layout is simple and pretty, and I love the red on black. I uploaded a black and white picture to the front of the invitation, and it went perfectly with the chalkboard style! On the back, it was great to be able to add three more pictures for a variety! The quality of the paper and printing was excellent...nothing flimsy or un-professional at all! I am very impressed! Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I was having the hardest time finding an invitation for my wedding, but once I saw this option, I was sold! I highly recommend it!"
"Our wedding invitations and RSVP cards from the Cherished Calendar suite turned out beautifully. I was so happy with the quality and design, as well as our designer's touches. Even though it was a Canadian order, I only waited 2 days with regular shipping from the time I approved my proofs to receiving my delivery...so fast! Would definitely recommend Wedding Paper Divas."
"I have received back so many compliments on these invites. People tell me they are the cutest most creative invitation that have ever received! Paper quality is amazing. I ordered the beautiful gold envelopes instead of the standard white and I am so glad I did because they look perfect with the gold font on the front of the invites. It gives it a very beautiful touch. I highly recommend this product to anyone having their wedding abroad."

Originally written on MyTeamRivals.com | Last updated 11/14/14
The Pittsburgh Steelers have won three straight games and have reached the midpoint of the season at 5-3. Ben Roethlisberger is having one of his finest seasons and is the team MVP of the first half. He is currently the best third down quarterback in the league. I give Big Ben an A+ for the way he's taken to Todd Haley's offense. Offensive Player of the Midseason is Heath Miller. Miller has 39 receptions and 384 yards, and is an excellent threat in the red zone with six touchdown receptions. Miller has been a great target on third downs. His size makes him a terrific threat over the middle. He's also a fine pass protector and run blocker. H-E-A-T-H get an A+. Defensive Player of the Midseason is Ryan Clark. He has been the glue that's held the defense together when many of its stars have been injured. He currently ranks second on the team with 52 tackles, has three tackles for a loss and has a forced fumble. Clark also has four passes defended and an interception....

Today I checked my SEA HUNT season one 5-disc set and both "The Hero" (21/06/58) and "Pressure Suit" (05/06/1958) were there intact minted on a standard DVD. As far as can be ascertained each disc housed in the two plastic containers provided has its own individual slip case.
So I guess that means genuine closure at last!
Someday I will actually take the time to watch them.

Jeff where did you buy your season one set? I want to make sure I order it from a dealer who has new stock with the episode correction. I already have seasons 2-3-4 and the marathon box set.

2012 Women's Sevens Review: The giant awakens
irb.com and James Mortimer 05 Jan 2013 Getty Images
From the first IRB Women's Sevens Challenge Cup just over a year ago in Dubai, to the start of the Women's Sevens World Series at the same venue in recent weeks, the face of Women's Rugby is changing forever as it hurtles toward the 2016 Olympic Game in Rio.
The IRB Women's Sevens Challenge Cups in Dubai, Hong Kong and London perfectly whetted the appetite last year for the confirmation of the World Series and its line-ups, but 2012 was also about the race for Rugby World Cup Sevens 2013, with a large number of qualifiers taking place around the globe.
My Sevens highlight of the year was without doubt the final in Hong Kong between Australia and England, which, shown live around the world, was a wonderful shop window for the Women's Game.
A superb match from start to finish, the game was full of pace, power and skill and with the ball staying in play for eight minutes without a stoppage, it's a game that most of the players involved call the toughest they've ever played in.
England won it 15-10 and with RWC 2003 winning coach Sir Clive Woodward afterwards calling it the best game of the entire weekend – men and women – it was certainly one that will live long in the memory.
As we've touched on, 2012 was also the year of the qualifiers as a huge number of teams attempted to reach Rugby World Cup Sevens 2013 in Moscow. This is Sevens at its finest, giving less traditional rugby nations a great chance to reach for the top, with the likes of Romania, Latvia and Georgia in Europe alone, getting their chance. The continuing progression of the likes of Croatia and Ukraine highlights that Sevens really is a game without traditional boundaries.
In Africa too this was well highlighted with Tunisia knocking out the more fancied Kenya and Uganda to secure their place in Moscow and next year's World Cup should be hugely competitive.
And there is much to look forward to in 2013.
South Africa showed in Dubai in recent weeks that there are no certainties when it comes to reaching the finals of the major tournaments and the next leg of the Series – which should see England at full strength – will be fascinating in Houston, Texas.
The re-emergence of New Zealand in Dubai, where they swept all before them, was a hugely positive sign as they showed no ill-effects from their sporadic appearances since 2009 and every side will improve for the regular exposure they will get on the world stage.
Four years is a long time in sport, and a glance at how the Sevens game has grown since Australia were crowned world champions in 2009 is certainly worth doing as we head towards Moscow with a huge number of teams in contention.
Rugby World Cup Sevens is the climax for every team but along the way there are sure to be some exciting twists.

For those who love to be connected, WiFi was BY FAR the fastest of any connection we experienced in the 4-5 star Hotels earlier in the trip. We were imessaging photos and videos and FaceTime-ing family and friends to show off Umberto's awesome sunsets.Umberto is a truly magnificent host. The reviews of him were the reason we chose this BB and he did not disappoint.
It didn't bother us, but keep in mind that bus travel is the best way to get to BB Laguardia from the touristy part of Anacapri. Taxis on Capri are SO expensive. Once you get the bus timing right (which Umberto will explain to you), getting around is a breeze (and affordable).
A fantastic property in a quiet,secluded part of Anacapri.Amazing views of the sea and lighthouse,we were lucky enough to watch some stunning sunsets.Umberto and his partner were lovely people with lots of ideas for planning our 2 day trip.We stayed in one of the 3 rooms at this property.2 of the rooms had been recently refurbished but unfortunately ours hadn't.The bathroom was old and tired looking and definitely needed a facelift.We love you Umberto,but fix up the bathroom please!!!!
We really enjoyed our stay with Umberto and Ciro. Very hospitable and made us feel very welcome. They had great connections with local restaurants who picked us up at the B&B and dropped us home when we were done. Umberto was very helpful in telling us the local secrets (what Beach is the best, how to do the blue grotto for free & how to get around town) They have an amazing outlook as well which captures the sunset perfectly! You won't be disappointed!
No tissues or toiletries in bathroom apart from some liquid soap. Their location is a bit out of the way which means you need a good grasp of public transport. While they had the best intentions of pointing out everything on the map, they weren't 100% clear (or accurate) with some things which got us lost on a couple of occasions haha. We'd suggest clarifying everything and access to google maps helped out a lot. I'm sure the language barrier didn't help though which you can't really blame them for.
Both Umberto and Ciro will give you the feeling being part of the family. The door of their own house is always open and they will invite you frequently to their dining table. This could be for a chat, a wine or even for some food which Umberto has prepared. Location is good. On walking distance to one of the popular beaches on Capri as also towards the bus stop which will bring you to Anacapri (better then the touristic port). Being in this location is being part of the Anacapri community.
Only minor point to be given is the standard "simple" rooms which one sleeps in. And perhaps the "not so extensive" breakfast. But believe me all plus points weigh higher then these 2 minors.
Great views, great facilities, can be a location for honey-moon. I liked the owner and his friendliness - a very nice guy, ready to help you 24h. Good sleep.
Breakfast - no fresh bread/eggs, however croissants (which are staying fresh 365days) were not terrible. Location - far away from everything, every time we were coming back from bath in sea we were wet and tired - it is like a proper tracking up to the hill. 1 good thing in Capri - no matter your location there is a free shuttle service for every restaurant. Wifi range can be improved to reach the room always.
- Excellent scenery from the hotel - Warm welcome from the owner Umberto and a overview of the city and must do things - Friendly staff
- Far from the main point of connectivity Capri port. You need to change buses once to reach the hotel, although we got a pick up and a drop off at the interchange point (i.e. one bus + pick up by Umberto)
Umberto is a fantastic host and made what looked like a slightly tricky location easy to get to. Do not let the location put you off but email the guesthouse direct before you travel to get help on how to get there. After that getting around is easy! Breakfast overlooking the sea and a pool to cool off (if you actually have time). There is far more to see on Capri than whilst travelling along the coast. To see it all you definitely need 3 nights and that's without time to relax. Better off staying a bit longer and making the most of this beautiful location and proximity to a swimming cove. Wish we'd spent longer here.
Room slightly damp as no AC (although does have a ceiling fan). Presumably this is reason for crackly protective sheet on matress?!
Wonderful view from a very clean swimming pool where in the morning you can enjoy a nice bf. Umberto & Ciro are great host. The silence is gold. Little problems of transports to and from this place but they are so nice to pick you up at Anacapri when you come and leave. Don't forget your running shoes. Capri town in the night it's a wonderful place, very elegant and with beautiful people all around.
Small room and bathroom and in need of a refresh.
Amazing location, with great views. Lovely garden with swimming pool. Friendly and helpful staff
Umberto is a true gentleman. He almost arranged everything for us so we make the most of Capri in a reduced time. The house is also very nice. Beautiful view
The high professionality of The staff and mainly of The owner Mr. Umberto, Who is really an International Guy with a lovely customer Service approach. I strongly recommend this structure!
Everything was perfect in our holiday at BB La Guardia! Umberto and Ciro are so kind and helpful
A bit of Paradise on Earth The view takes your breath away Flowers everywhere Lovely helpful hosts A warm familiar feeling Umberto helps you with tips for everything from transportations, experiences to restaurants - make sure you go to the restaurants he recommends, especially ristorante Gelsomina Make sure you call Umberto when you get to Capri so he can tell you how to get there. It seems like a difficult trip but the busses make it so easy!
To leave...
I recommend this place to everyone who wants to have an unforgottable holiday in Capri. Feel like in paradise to be in the garden with white roses and other flowers, and a small pool. The owners are very friendly, provided assistance to find all the "must see" things, the restaurants which fit your expectations and also the ways to travel. You probably will not find any better place within a similar budget.
Nothing to mention here.
So helpful, beautiful views
This location is quite difficult to find. If you call ahead, they will pick you up. If you are looking for a good story, stay here as the owners are nothing but memorable.
The wifi was very unreliable and not available in the room. The owners chain smoke and the linens/towels reflect that. The room could be a bit cleaner. Breakfast had no choices (mind that it was out of season). Owners are quite abrasive.
Umberto and Ciro made us feel so welcome - Umberto picked us up when we got lost , gave us some of the dinner he had cooked when we arrived , and was an excellent source of advice about getting around the island .
Umberto was very friendly and arranged for dinner reservations and tours during our stay. The B & B was clean and comfortable. Views at sunset were amazing and the hike down to the lighthouse was fun.
The bedroom was small.
Our host, Umberto, was very gracious and helped us plan each day, made reservations for outings and local restaurants, and even provided transportation himself. The B&B was very comfortable in a quiet neighborhood in Anacapri. The view of the sea was spectacular!
Spectacular views. Comfortable rooms. Outstanding hospitality that goes the extra mile. Bargain price that you would never dream of for what you would pay. Unreal!!!
Nothing to dislike.

I've stayed at the Chelsea Star in the past and when I walked in this time it was a completely different beast. The changes made were great! I'm astounded at the progress this hotel/hostel made in just a few months.
The bed was really comfortable, it has a great location, it was clean.
they charge me an extra $100 without letting me know, for some Madonna memorabilia that is in the rooms, it was super small, i mean only room for the bed, no room to walk around it.
I liked the business model. The staff were very good. Sure it's not always quiet but it was perfect for this 59 year old solo traveler. For the $ Good value.
Loud at times...street noise...ect, not horrible.
It was too early to get our room when we first arrived so we checked in and went out for a walk. On return, we discovered that they had overbooked and were encouraging us to go to another hotel, even though we had made our reservation in advance. For New York this is great value for money but be wary as we almost lost our room (we came first so luckily they made some other poor traveler have to find another place to stay)
Used to be a gross hostel type of place, now very nice, modern, cool place. Great location. Good staff. Very well priced.
They make you pay five bucks to check a bag with them! Weird! The finishings are not great. There are little details here and there in both rooms we stayed in that had problems, like chipped wallpaper or a cracked bathroom tile. It wasn't a dealbreaker but it did remind you you're not at a Hilton.
Location is excellent, close to Madison Square Garden and Subway (A,C,E). Clean
Central heating, number of restrooms
price location
Central Location
- Shared bathroom which for that reason should be clean often. It was very dirty, didn't even want to take a shower in it - My closet was bigger than the room, twin bed which I don't expect in a hotel. - Not good value. Changed hotel and paid $20 more and the difference was immense: Spatious enough to walk around, clean, own bathroom, queen bed, great TV with real channel.
Two staff members were polite.
Deafening music played in hallway, TV didn't work, shower ditto. No chair to sit in. I was moved to another room where at least the TV worked but there was a knock on my door at 3AM - the manager had not entered that he had moved me to a vacant room. They charge $5 (cash only) to store each bag. Dirty dirty coffee cart. UGH!!!! They need to get serious about being a hotel.
friendly, perfect location, value for money comfiest bed!!
Nasty Young Male Desk Staff Extremely Tiny Room Impossible, Unsafe High Bed to get in and out with dangerous, sharp edge all around Very few TV Channel Options Paying an extra $100 Security upon arrival for the room in case you damaged it! Threatening sign in room about Not Smoking Steep stairs Very noisy
the room was smaller than tiny, it could hardly fit the bed. the room's description said it had air conditioning. it didn't. instead, it was heated via a central heating system. which was over heated, and I had no control of, so I had to open a window, and try to sleep with 8th avenue noise. staff was incredibly unhelpful with this, and even lied to me when I asked for a room with A/C - telling me they removed all of them, which is clearly a lie, just looking at the hotel from outside - some rooms have A/C, some don't.
The housekeeping staff was friendly, the decor was cool if cheap looking, and the lounge area is cool.
There were cockroaches, 5 rooms share one bathroom, no ice or even a fridge anywhere in the hotel at all, my room was so small i had to walk sideways inside and i hit the tv every time...it was literally a bed and a tv.
Loved the location. It was within walking distance to everything. My friend's first time in NYC and he loved it. Brother jimmys barbq across the street is awesome. Say hi to Derek the bartender.
There really isn't a bad thing to say. We plan on staying there again.
all: location, clean and big double room; in front of madison sq garden. good price
no tiene elevador
Nice big comfy bed in a great location and very reasonable price
Super noisy because my room was on the avenue side and the windows are thin and have air con units in them which lets in sound.
Location only
The midtown location near Penn Station is useful for subways, onward travel etc. As budget hotels in Manhattan go this is acceptable but extremely basic
Lobby area and first floor rooms invaded by horrible cooking smells from Subway outlet beneath hotel Reception staff varied in friendliness and helpfulness In my en suite room the hot water never more than tepid and the TV picked up only one channel and that was fuzzy Hotel rooms give on to 8th Ave, so incessant 'white noise' of traffic all day and (nearly) all night
The horrible time for check in.
The hotels location and it's access to many shops & restaurants was great! The king room with it's own bathroom was also fantastic once I figured out the hot/cold water taps were opposite as stated! I would definitely stay there again but only in the king room!
The only thing I didn't like was that the hotel played music all day every day from about 9am daily - that didn't work well with my sleep schedule :/
Location is great. 4 blocks from MSG. Great for young folks who want a good bed for a cheap price near midtown
Shower needs work. Outlet in bathroom didn't work. No outlet. Cheaper rooms have shared bathroom
I like the stuff and location
No parking , small space , shared bathroom
Excellent location Helpful and friendly staff Clean and comfortable bed
NO handrail up steep stairs at entrance NO mirror in bedroom Shared bathroom with more than one other room . I was expecting a 2 to 1 ratio .( This was on the first floor).
good location, fine facilities, everyday morning coffee and tea, a couple of restaurants and bars around
Too much noise and less toilets for guests to use
The location is perfect, The price is affordable and the forniture is new
The wi-fi connection was very bad, some times of the day we couldn't even connect to it. No matter what, every single day at 9 am, the hotel put a very loud music without any consideration tha almost every room has a speaker outside the maindoor and even if it seems that they realized that the music is to loud, they turn the volume down and then turn it up again even louder... I don't know, but I seemed to be in amilitary camp for that reason. Some night we couldn't breathe due to the high temperature in the room, we asked to staff to turn the heat down but it didn't change for both of the times we asked.

"Problem" ingredients
- meatn3 Mar 4, 2009 03:33 PM
I have had several recent conversations with friends about cooking frugally and reducing waste. All of us seem to have at least one grocery item that we have trouble using up before it goes bad.
Mine is celery...What are your problem ingredients? You love them, but just can't seem to use them up in time!
I'd have to say fresh herbs. If one is buying herbs for a specific dish and flavor, you have to be committed to eating that flavor for a few days, else the herbs will go south. Cilantro, say. Love it, but I don't want five days of cilantro-flavored food. Basil is another.
Thankfully our guinea pigs will eat up the excess (as with celery). Still, problematic. Wih I could grow my own herbs year rounds.
re: cayjohan
I keep clamshells of fresh herbs in the freezer all the time. Herbs with large leaves, such as sage, may not serve well as a garnish once frozen, but for cooking, the flavor is unchanged and they work great. At the moment I have mint, chives, rosemary, thyme, basil, epizote, parsley, cilantro, and probably a few more that don't pop readily to mind. Allows me to use them at leisure instead of playing the herb-of-the-week cooking game.
re: Caroline1
When I've thrown rosemary and thyme in the freezer they have both turned black. Not appetizing.
re: Agent Orange
re: Agent Orange
yes mine too, is there a secret to freezing them? I say just chop them up and make bread or a pesto and freeze that.
re: chef chicklet
When I have fresh herbs to use up I typically use them in oil or butter. With the oil I refrig with the butter I freeze for use in recipes.
re: Caroline1
You have said this before - "clamshells", what do you mean by that?
Never Mind! I see your answer down below!
re: danhole
I believe a "clamshell" is the way the herbs come packaged. Two moulded plastice pieces, hinged on one side which close together areound the item packaged.
re: cayjohan
I tend to make excuses. The only stuff I ever really buy is rosemary.. hey that's about it. oh yeah, basil. I can think of about a million things to use those guys in.
re: cayjohan
Celery? You must learn how to enjoy a few more Bloody Marys :)
meatn3, this isn't an answer to your post, but I thought I'd share how celery is no longer a "problem" ingredient for me. A few years ago my sister-in-law gave me Tupperware Fridge Smart containers. I cut the celery stalks off the base, wash it and dry it, put it in the container, put a paper towel over it and put the lid on. I open one of the holes for airflow. If it's in there long enough I may exchange the paper towel for a dry one. The celery stays good for weeks. I have several different sized containers I use for celery, carrots and lettuce.
re: Axalady
a plastic bag works just as well - either a partially closed zipper bag, or one of the "Baggies" that are flimsier & more breathable. i do it with herbs too, and my parsley lasts for at least 10 days that way, cilantro at least a week.
re: Axalady
An even simpler celery preservation method, which I learned here on Chowhound, is to wrap the intact bunch in aluminum foil, enclosing it completely, and store it in the crisper drawer. It stays crisp for a couple weeks.
re: Caitlin McGrath
yep Caitlin - that's a great tip. Exactly how I store mine and it keeps forever.....well, almost forever
re: chicaraleigh
would this work for other veggies, too? like asparagus, carrots, peppers, etc?
re: lucygoosey
Oh that has to be mine. I tend to buy fresh bread on the weekend, make toast or eat some with cheese, and then half of it doen't get eaten.
But then I sometimes make My own, so it's not a huge deal. I definitely will try and make some foccacia tonight.
re: Soop
That was mine too until I discovered papa al pomodoro! saute some finely chopped onion & garlic in olive oil and/or butter, add sliced stale bread, stir it around so the bread soaks up lots of garlicy oil. Add a big can of tomatoes and some water or broth. Herbs like basil, oregano, or parseley, maybe some grated romano. Once it's cooked for a bit, either mash it up best you can in the pot with a fork or a chunkier soup or use an immersion blender or a food processor to smooth it out. At that point you can add pasta, ground meat, spinach, white beans, whatever you like (the authentic version would be to leave it plain, but I can't help but tinker).
re: Emmmily
Smaller (half-size) loaves of bread are available in some stores. But they don't come in sourdough...yet.
re: dinaofdoom
Try using the rolling-in-paper towels trick outlined by Axalady and goodhealthgourmet above. It really helps prolong the life of delicate greens.
re: Caitlin McGrath
i hate it when they get slimy and nasty.
that is probably the one thing i throw out with regularity.
re: Louise
i got a huge amount of dill from my CSA, which is my least favorite herb (can't think of what to do with a quantity, unless i am pickling, which i never am...).
ended up making a crapload of compound butter (with meyer lemon, capers and sun dried tomatoes) as well as much lemony yogurty dill sauce as my palate could stand.
and i still threw a bit out!
some herbs are hard to use up.
i have the same prob with cilantro.
re: dinaofdoom
Next time chop it with brown sugar and salt, pack it between and around two sides of salmon, wrap it tightly in cling film, and cure it three days under weight, turning twice daily. Then rinse it, slice the gravlax thin, and eat with rye crackers and cucumbers and a little sour cream.
re: Das Ubergeek
My dh's half Mexican, so we (I) make a lot of dishes using cilantro.
Try this Border Pesto: pulse 2 T pepitas (green squash seeds) in a blender with 1/2 t kosher salt until powdered. Add 1 clove garlic, 2 c cilantro leaves (packed), and pulse until chopped. With blender running, slowly add in 1/2 c olive oil. Pour into a bowl and stir in 2 T grated parmesan and 1 c crema agria OR creme fraiche (can substitute 1/2 c plain yogurt combined with 1/2 c sour cream) until smooth. Use as you would basil pesto; on pasta, spread on toast, or dolloped on soup (pref. tortilla or chicken lime soup).
Will post the cilantro soup recipe as soon as I can find it.
re: Louise
i was going to mention celery for soup too! and if you have a big lot a parsley i always make tabouli with heaps and heaps of lemons yum
also fresh rosmary, sometimes i let it just sit out and dries out and i use it as "dried" rosmary.
re: goodhealthgourmet
That's what I started doing after throwing out another litre of milk -- I buy it for baking and the occasional coffee, but since I tend to drink coffee at the office, the carton at home always goes sour. Now, I just mix up a small amount when I need it.
Not sure I'd recommend that for someone who wants to drink the milk, though. It doesn't quite taste the same.
re: piccola
Higher fat milk lasts longer and (in my mind ) seems to freeze better.
re: laliz
I have a problem with milk as well. The tiny ones are not cost effective and get finished too quickly, and the larger ones go bad too early. I've switched to organic and find it lasts longer. Probably in the overall scheme of things I don't end up spending any more money on it because I'm not throwing out as much once it goes bad.
re: lisavf
I found a tasty way to use them up--Chinese scallion pancakes. They're really easy and take staple ingredients to fix--scallions, water, flour, salt, oil (pref sesame oil).
re: lisavf
If you put them in a glass of water, just like flowers in a vase, they'll keep much longer. Change the water daily. You can refrigerate or keep them on the counter. It works with celery too, but I don't bother because I'm CLUMSY...!!! Who needs to keep knocking a big old bunch of celery over all the time? Especially in the refrigerator! '-)
re: lisavf
Scramble scallions and herbs into your morning eggs.
In our local supermarkets, you can buy celery by the stalk, so it is no longer a problem ingredient for us. :)
re: kattyeyes
your stores sell celery by the stalk? really? i've never seen that!
re: goodhealthgourmet
Our more upscale market also sells celery by the stalk, which I thought was fantastic until I bought some and it was pretty ragged. Still better than leaving a bunch of celery to wilt in my fridge.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Yup! And just regular supermarkets here in CT...nothing particularly upscale about them (Stop & Shop, A&P). It's handy when you need just a stalk or two for a recipe.
re: kattyeyes
interesting. i'm in Jersey & i've never seen it like that. then again i only buy occasional random things at our local Stop & Shop and A&P - they're both pretty gross, i don't even look at the produce there.
re: goodhealthgourmet
That is really interesting. Our local S&S is kind of the only game in my town (except for A&P)...both nearby S&Ss recently remodeled and have reflected those costs in their pricing. So many times, I run over to Price Right for produce. But for a stalk or two of celery, S&S gets my biz.
re: kattyeyes
i'm really lucky - i live within 2 miles of Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Mitsuwa, and there's a terrific independent gourmet market a few minutes away as well...so it's rare that i need/want to shop for anything at the local A&P, S&S or Pathmark.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Oh, sure, just rub it in! You ARE lucky. TJ & WF are about 25 minutes away and I don't even know what Mitsuwa is, but I'm sure I'd only be more envious if I knew...as our Asian grocery is a 30-minute ride, too. The name is priceless, tho'--A Dong. :)
re: kattyeyes
aww, i didn't mean to rub it in :) i'm just trying to be thankful for what i DO have at my disposal, because ever since i left Southern California last year, i've been griping about how much i miss having Farmers' Markets and WFM locations everywhere i turn!
re: kattyeyes
My local Stop & Shop (Boston area) doesn't do that, but Roche Bros., Whole Foods, and local farm markets (Wilson Farms) do that - that's the way I've been buying celery this past year or so. And whatever I don't need immediately gets wrapped in foil, as Caitlin mentioned above.
re: kattyeyes
I remember seeing that when I was in Oregon. I wish they did that here in the UK, where you can buy single carrots. Celery is my secret shame as well. I never get through the stuff.
re: kattyeyes
Funny how many people have the same celery issue. It's mine too. The last few times I've needed it, I've purchased the packed same day celery/carrot tubs. They're more expensive, but it only comes with about as much celery as I'll need for whatever I'm making. And I never have a problem eating the rest of the carrots on my own. Makes me feel better than having the celery go bad in the crisper.
re: hyacinthgirl
its so weird because i never can get enough celery, everyone just send yours down to Oz! i eat it with peanut butter put it in soup rissoto with cottage cheese, cheddar cheese. hummus etc maybe because i am celiac and hate gluten free bread so i use it as a base for heaps of spreads, but i actually get celery craving now
re: tatamagouche
Try a Sam's Club. I know I've seen it there in pint bottles. I've bought it for my grandson. But I think I've also seen it in the cup or half cup size used in cafeterias. Worth a shot. Oh, and for the record, you can freeze milk. It works fine, except the homogenized somehow unhomogenizes during freezing, so after you thaw, you have to shake prior to each use. Good luck!
re: Caroline1
Ah, nice tips!
re: Caroline1
I keep dried milk around for baking. I have never noticed the difference in bread, muffins, pancakes and such. I just add the milk powder to the dry ingredients, and water to the "wet" ones, so there isn't even an extra bowl. Also works for guests who lighten their coffee.
re: tatamagouche
Same here, but smaller containers cost almost as much as quarts. If a container of milk is on the verge of souring and you nuke it on high long enough to almost boil it, it stops the process and keeps the milk usable for several more days. Either way, I often freeze it in 4 or 8 ounce increments which can be thawed for baking. I wind up freezing evaporated and buttermilk too. Problem is remembering to label it first!
re: tatamagouche
If you don't mind paying a bit more for it, look for individual serving sized milks. I know MacArthur Farms does one because I've seen it in the grocery store. You could even buy the long-life tetra packs that they sell for putting in kids' lunches and just open one as you need it.
re: Kajikit
They also have shelf-stable "juice boxes" of milk meant for kids' lunchboxes. Nobody will judge you for buying them and using them in recipes.
re: tatamagouche
I use Nido (whole milk) dried for cooking and for eating and everything else. it is quite good and tastes like fresh milk. I was lucky enough to find cans of it at flea market for $1 and stocked up. price in grocery about $4.
We can buy pints of milk, sometimes even half-pints in our larger supermarkets. And single carrots and stalks of celery, just the thing for making a little mirepoix or sofrito. Ditto onions, of course. Can't with green onions, but that's never a problem at our house. I have begun keeping celery and parsley like bouquets, either in fridge or on counter, depending on how hungry the cat is. One of our local bread suppliers, a bakery rather than a big commercial Wonder Bread-type outfit, is now selling half-loaves, too. And can't you buy individual rolls like you would bagels?
Caroline1, are you talking about the styrofoam clamshells restaurants use for takeout that you're using for freezing herbs?
I will say that sometimes it's more frugal to throw something out than it is to buy something else to make a dish to use up the remainder of the original problem child. Those of us who battle with our weight have had to learn that.
re: lemons
No, not Styrofoam "clamshells." All of the markets in my area, including the "farmers' market" chains where they are often 88 cents each, sell fresh herbs in a clear plastic clam shell. I just toss the whole thing in the freezer. The type I buy are fairly air tight, so no ice build up. Of course, the parsley, cilantro and epizote come in bunches, so those I chop and put in zip lock bags, usually reserving the stems in a separate zip lock, especially of parsley, for bouquets garni.
re: Caroline1
Doesn't that compromise the texture of the herb? That's my big problem food. Fresh herbs with bad texture. Now, I do make herb butters with them from tme to time, and freeze those. Still I just don't see how frozen, say - cilantro - fills the bill. Do tell your secrets!
re: cayjohan
Well, I use them in things like stews and roasts and stuffing. The parsley works well in pilafs. Epizote in refried beans and such. I wouldn't try to make something like tabouli with frozen parsley. That won't work. But it works fine in cooked dishes.
Carrots. Probably because I generally dislike them. I know they last a very long time, but there's been so many times where I find a bag of them shriveled and unusable in the back of my fridge. I suppose I could freeze them, right?
Mine are pretty much the same as everyone else's... fresh lettuce (because there are only two of us and it doesn't keep for long!), and fresh herbs. When you're cooking for two there is only so much fresh basil or thyme or tarragon you can use at a time! Sometimes I toss the extra herbs in the freezer in the bag they came in, but they shed leaves and make a mess in the freezer compartment because the plastic bags have airholes punched in them and the leaves fall out!
I've never had any problems with celery - I keep it in the bag it came in and it lasts for a month. The outer stems might start to yellow and go icky, if they do you just peel them off and toss them in the trash, and you might have to trim a few inches off the top of the bunch as time goes by, but the inside of the bunch will stay just fine.
re: Kajikit
Oddly enough, I have discovered that fresh thyme keeps nearly forever in the vegetable drawer in its plastic "clamshell." I have had a package in there for a couple of months now. I keep expecting it to mold, or dry out, or at least lose flavor, but it is still fine. A few brown leaves, which I pull off and discard each time I use it for a recipe...
re: evewitch
I bought a clamshell of thyme and it lasted for a month too... it was fairly fresh and dry and it just dried out a bit in the fridge over time. But another wetter bunch went mouldy, so it's the luck of the draw.
re: Kajikit
What is a clamshell?
re: MMRuth
Hinged flimsy plastic box. Like Driscoll strawberry boxes but flatter.
re: Das Ubergeek
Thank you!
re: MMRuth
how funny! Never heard it called that before. I find them annoying anyway.
re: Das Ubergeek
das ubergeek, i like your celery batonnets idea. celery is cheaper -- by far -- than celery root here.
re: Das Ubergeek
We always make shrimp remoulade with celery batons as well.
Sadly, I have the same celery problem that others have mentioned.
I used to have an issue with buttermilk until I discovered the wonder of dried buttermilk.
re: im_nomad
I have the same problem with celery. I like to use the leaves in the middle of the bunch, so I have to buy a whole bunch, but I'm not a fan of celery sticks, so most of the bunch often rots before I get to it. I had a large bunch that had already been in the fridge a week and I hadn't used a single stalk. I pulled off six stalks, plus the leaves, then made a simple celery soup with shallots, chicken broth and fresh thyme that was really good. I've never done that before, but I got to thinking that celery should sometimes get centre-stage, rather than be relegated to soup stocks and stews. I suppose Chinese celery would have been even tastier, but this was a perfect way to make use of my refrigerator staple. Celery, herbs and chiles are the items that go bad in my refrigerator. Sometimes ginger too. I get on kicks and use tons sometimes, but other times, it sits and goes bad. I've heard it can be frozen, but I've never tried it. Ideally, I'd love to go to the store when I'm in the mood to use ginger and find the perfect young, fresh piece, but too often, my grocery store has these petrified stumps that I wouldn't touch if my life depended on it. So, when I find some good, young examples, I tend to buy too much.
re: 1sweetpea
cooking for one, i gave up on the petrified ginger nubs and now stock ginger people brand ginger juice in the fridge instead (from whole foods & other places).
it's not too $$$, lasts quite a bit, and is just lovely.
re: 1sweetpea
Either freeze the fingers of fresh ginger, OR grate it all and freeze it in small plastic containers. OR grate it and put it in a glass jar and then fill the jar with dry sherry and leave it in the fridge. Keeps forever that way. At least as long as I've needed it in the fridge. I then replenish with the pre-grated in the freezer as needed. The sherry is also good in stir-frys.
re: LindaWhit
You can store the whole fingers in sherry (or vodka, for more neutral flavor) in the fridge, as well. That way, it can be minced or sliced or grated, depending on what you need for whatever you're cooking.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Now there's something I haven't tried (the whole finger of ginger in sherry). Thanks, Caitlin! I usually use grated, but this is good to remember if I need sliced.
re: Caitlin McGrath
What type of sherry? I have amontillado, which is fairly dry. Do you mean very dry or the sweet type? I wonder how sake would work. Sometimes I use sake instead of sherry for my Chinese or Japanese-inspired cooking. I bet the sake would take on an incredible ginger flavour. Mmmmm, sounds like a tasty beverage.
Herbs are hard to use, they always in such big bunches =(. But recently at my chinese supermarket there are ones in fewer quantities...now I think it's too little (._.'). If it's like really leafy herbs (like...Cilantro) I just make an oil out of them, keep pretty well.
For milk, go to the deli-prepared foods section. Often there are small containers of milk. If you are only using the milk for cooking, buy the multi-packs of tiny cartons of shelf-stable milk. Our groceries here usually stock them with either the children's boxed juices, or the condensed milk and powdered milk products.
I freeze celery before it goes bad, then use it to flavor stock. It keeps quite a while in the freezer, and although the texture is compromised by freezing, it's thrown away once the stock is made. I have one of those stainless steel strainers that fits inside of the pot; I just put the veggies and bones in that, fill with filtered water, and simmer away. Once the stock is done, everything in the strainer is tossed.
I have several uses for leftover bread. It all gets put in the freezer; some for breadcrumbs, some to make croutons, and some for bread puddings. I'm part-Italian and was raised with "waste not, want not" ;-)
I can never use a whole bunch of celery before it goes floppy. Luckily, one of my local grocers sells the stuff by the stalk, so I can grab a couple when making stock or tuna salad.
Lettuce! Any kind. I just don't use enough of it, and you can't buy just a little. I'm the only one who eats it, and I can only eat so much, so I end up throwing most of it away. I have a lettuce keeper but it is suited for a head of lettuce, so if you get romaine, or some other kind, that just doesn't work. And I really don't like getting the salad in a bag. Anyway, you can't put that on a sandwich!
re: danhole
I used to get bag o'salad all the time. Now have been buying the clamshell of organic baby greens--it seems to keep better. I usually just eat it as salad, but have used it on sandwiches, too. It does work!
re: kattyeyes
Are the baby greens crispy enough on a sandwich? I like a crunch. Otherwise, that's a great tip Katty.
re: danhole
I never thought of the crunch factor, but just went to the fridge and grabbed a few pieces--it does give a nice crunch. ;) Spring mix or baby greens should do the trick nicely for you. If you pack your sandwich to take to work, I do recommend packing the lettuce on the side so it doesn't get soggy.
re: danhole
A damp paper or dish towel around washed lettuce. Put in an open plastic bag in the crisper. It will keep like this for 5 to 7 days. Also, if the lettuce is still "good" - not slimy- but wilted, put it in a bowl with some ice cubes for a while. This will perk up most less than crisp veggies.
re: corneygirl
Thanks for that tip. Someone once told me to get the core out, wash it, shake it cry and then store it. Does that sound right? Of course that is for iceberg.
Another thing - This sounds like a dumb question, but I have always been confused abut my crisper drawer. It has that vent on it that you can open, close or leave halfway. How should I set it?
re: danhole
I don't know about the vent, my fridge doesn't have one. But I usually core the lettuce and wash - but if I get a lot of greens in my CSA share I just wrap in a damp dish towel and throw the bundle in the drawer.
re: corneygirl
When you do that (wrap in damp towel), how quickly do you use those greens?
re: danhole
Within a week, otherwise I end up with a lot of mystery bundles and mildew towels. Out of sight out of mind seems to be the rule in my house.
re: chef chicklet
Get bigger teaspoons.
re: Paulustrious
you means as in a long ice tea spoons? I don't think that's the issue, it's got something to do with it being viewed as the dregs.
re: Paulustrious
Cubes of mango freeze really well -- then use them instead of ice cubes in sweet tea. :)
re: Das Ubergeek
We do the same thing with grapes and watermelon. My kids place a grape or watermelon cube in each section of the ice cube tray add a splash of OJ and freeze them for later use as "fruit cubes" in tea, fruit juice or smoothies. Works great!
re: alkapal
alkapal, great for cocktails too!
Bread. I just freeze it but it's a hassle sometimes. I used to have celery issues, but now I just find ways to use it. I get tired of throwing stuff out. Produce seems to be a problem around here lately- stuff at the supermarket looks beautiful outside but when I go to use it, it's rotten. Thinking about planting a small veg garden (in containers- I have a huge front yard but not much space behind the house- just the citrus trees so far.
I wish I had time to shop daily for stuff- that's not possible, I've been cooking and freezing more often so I don't have to toss anything.
Tomato paste. Oh, I know, I know; just make a stew or soup or sauce or something. What happens is that little can -or tube- somehow always gets behind some larger container and I don't see it until weeks and weeks later when it's all black and hard.
Maybe I should put a note ON the fridge.
And, like cayjohan, my guinea pig takes care of most every veggie, especially lettuce and celery.
re: Michelly
just an idea, michelly: a little caper jar cleaned in the dishwasher is the perfect container for the paste. then put masking tape on the TOP, label it with mr. sharpie (contents and date) and put it in your condiment area (fridge door shelves, for me). maybe add a wee layer of olive oil on top before you put the lid on.
You can put "soft-stemmed" herbs like cilantro, basil,. dill or tarragon into fresh water and keep them like fresh flowers. They'll last a bit longer in the fridge in a glass of water, too. Other herbs, (like thyme or savory or oregano) wrap in damp paper towels and store in the veggie bin in the fridge.
re: madkittybadkitty
One kat to a badkitty: IT'S REUBEN TIME!
Make a reuben (the sandwich).
Make reuben soup:
Make reuben dip:
There''s other info after nemo's dip recipe above from rworange including--believe it or not--mention of sauerkrautrecipes.com
A look at that whole thread should have the topic covered. Believe your search is over! ;) Happy cooking!
Or, serve the kraut as a side with pierogis. I assume by sausages you mean Polish or German sausages (kielbasa or wursts)--and you've already got that covered.
Plain regular yogurt. Chicken Tikka Masala, naan, a yogurt cake, and there's still more. I try to remember to do smoothies, but always forget. I usually keep Greek yogurt around - It'd probably be cheaper in the long run to just use it, because then none of it would be wasted.
