What cookbooks have you bought recently, or are you lusting after? June 2014 edition! [OLD]
- buttertart May 31, 2014 05:28 PM
It's already June in at least three cities I would dearly like to be in right now, so here we go with the new thread. That temptress roxlet told me TGC was having a $13 sale, so I preordered the Malgieri and the Beranbaum, and ordered 2 others that looked good: "The Best Asian Noodle Recipes" and "The Way We Ate". Then I looked at the NYT's supplemental list to their Summer Reading article, and bought "Bold Flavors" for Kindle.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/01/boo... (I want that Steinhauer, I love her muscular prose).
Color me weak-willed and easily led down the garden path...how about you?
PS I finally saw "Yucatan" the other day. Wowie...zowie!
An old friend to many here arrived on my doorstep this afternoon - "The Bread Baker's Apprentice". It's probably been close to ten years since I've bought any cookbooks; until I found this monthly thread some time back, I thought I was a cookbook collector. I'm a piker, having less than 40.
I have neither the finances nor shelf space to own hundreds, so I choose them very, very carefully. The Reinhart book was a natural choice, as my recent retirement rekindled my interest in making truly good bread; this, coupled with the near-constant drumbeat on CH about this book, made it a must-have.
Its close to coffee table book size is a bit daunting, but I love the heaviness both of the book and of the paper stock; it's a hold-in-your-lap volume, and commands the reverence an apprentice should have. Instead of flipping through to "the good parts", I'm reading deliberately everything Reinhart has to share. It was all I could do, after seeing the list of formulas in the first few pages, not to jump ahead to Kaiser rolls, pain a l'ancienne, NY Deli Rye!
I restrained myself, only going to later pages as he referenced them to make a point. I stopped reading at page 62 where Reinhart begins to discuss fermentation. Class dismissed for the day. :)
I can only imagine where this is going to take me...
re: AmyLearnsToCook
What? No "Pirate's Pantry"? From the Lake Charles Junior League. I have all three marked on my Amazon Wish List, that's why I ask. Or perhaps you already own it.
re: mcsheridan
I have never heard of that one. It is in my cart now! :) actually I just realized that the one I ordered was River Road II so I guess the first one is going in the cart as well!
re: AmyLearnsToCook
The banana bread is so good in II.
re: AmyLearnsToCook
Who's Your Mama, Are You Catholic, and Can You Make A Roux? by Marcelle Bienvenu are great too. There are two books with that title.
I like River Road and Pirate's Pantry also.
re: rasputina
Oh my! Another one to add to my cart! :)
re: AmyLearnsToCook
I would LOVE a good Cajun / Creole book. My experience has been, though, that most recipes take forever. I have:
1. Mr B's Bistro
2. Metrolpitan Cafe
3. Trout Point
all are beautiful, just not how I cook.
PS http://www.jackmillers.com/ Is simply he best sauce ever. Their rub is completely underwhelming, but that sauce....good gracious. Wonderful
re: Westy
Peruse Donald Link's "Real Cajun" at your local library and I think you'll find what you're looking for. Those books from bistro/cafe are more complicated, naturally.
I'd already made one recipe from Real Cajun that I found online, Smothered Pork Roast over Rice. He's the real deal, and now I *have* to have this book. It's on my list.
re: mcsheridan
Real Cajun is great as is Louisiana Real and Rustic by Emeril Lagasse.
Just brought Delights from the Garden of Eden by Nasrallah - a wonderful textbook of Iraqi Cuisine. Superbly researched, fascinating and the recipes both simple and enticing. I had never come across it before - its a shame. I dont think the book has the attention it deserves. Up there with Thompson!
re: borisabrams
I've had this one in my cart for a while but never pushed the button on it.
re: borisabrams
I have this book and have been perusing it the last few days again. I have made the spicy sesame sticks and dipped them in a tehini mixture. When they first came out of the oven they were doughy and gross and I was concerned the book was a loser. But once they cooked they were crisp and crumbly as expected. I also made the saffron rice but it's not really a recipe or anything. I need to make more things. The black eyes pea curry is staring at me
re: borisabrams
Have you read 'Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies' by Najmieh Batmanglij by any chance?
How does this stand up to that? I've got the 25th anniversary reprint of Food of Life sitting next to Thai Food - I get that much use of it.
re: LiamF
I do have that one too! They Are two very different books IMO. The iraqi one is more academic but the persian one had better pictures. The persian one really takes it's time teaching you how to make perfect rice and tahdig step by step with details. The iraqi book is not as detailed in that section. The recipes are surprisingly different. So far I like them both
re: Siegal
Now I feel old, I remember when the Persian one came out very well because friends who had done anthro fieldwork in northern Iran cooked for us from it when it came out ;-)
re: borisabrams
Nawal Nasrallah, the author of Delights from the Garden of Eden, has some enjoyable writing and recipes online: http://nawalcooking.blogspot.com/ (link to the book's official site also somewhere on there).
I've had Yucatan on my wishlist since I first saw it posted here. I'll have to see if my library has it. They did not last time I checked.
Not a "cookbook", but Craftsy has a free grains class online. Order and watch anytime.
PS You are all temptresses... Every single one! ;-)
re: roxlet
I made the Lobster Cocktail for Christmas Eve dinner. The cocktail sauce recipe is amazing. I also made the New England Clam Chowder and really enjoyed that as well. That's all I've made from it thus far.
re: borisabrams
I've just barely begun to delve into "Yucatan." There are many significant differences between it and the Kennedy books. "Yucatan is a much (much!) larger book loaded with gorgeous color photos. It concentrates solely on the Yucatan and does not address cuisines of other parts of Mexico, such as Oaxaca, for example. And it goes far deeper into the history of both the food and the ingredients.
I just got "In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite" by Melissa Clark
This is one I never would have bought had it not been for the COTM threads. A couple of months ago I bought "Cook This Now" and have really been enjoying it. It has a lot of "high value" meals ... by that I mean, meals that take little time to prepare but yield interesting flavors. I like the seasonal focus of the book a lot (just made the pasta with garlic scapes pesto). I decided to go ahead and get "In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite because I also think I will make good use of it and it was available as a bargain book from Amazon for $11.
re: stockholm28
re: LulusMom
Yes ... this is one that I would not have looked twice at in a book store. In fact, early on I checked Cook This Now out of the library and returned it. After I kept seeing it pop up on threads, I checked it out again and really went through it. I've probably made at least half a dozen things from it and I've liked them all. There are many dishes that are easy for a weeknight.
re: stockholm28
You might already be doing this, but if not, it would be great if you could post results on COTM threads. I know various of us are still actively cooking from these books and we always like to see new reports!
re: Westminstress
I should start doing that; I've tended to only do it when there are no reviews already for a dish, but I know that it is interesting to see the old threads pop up.
re: stockholm28
It really is great to see old threads pop up. Although it is against my better time usage, I sometimes find myself lost in a thread, remembering old meals, or being reminded that there is something I had really wanted to try.
re: stockholm28
I love the pasta with garlic scapes pesto! No garlic scapes yet in my neck of the woods, but I love to make that pasta every year. I've had ITWAGA out of the library for a couple of months now, I keep taking it in and out of my amazon cart. It is so cheap used but I just haven't felt like purchasing any cookbooks lately. There are tons of great ideas in that book though, if I ever have to return it to the library I'll probably buy it.
re: Westminstress
I was pleasantly surprised by the cilantro garlic scape pesto. I'm generally ambivalent about cilantro, but I really liked this. The farmer's market had cilantro, sugar snaps, garlic scapes, and ricotta so it was a good choice.
I had renewed ITWAGA the max number of times and just decided to buy it. I've made a couple of dishes from it, I know I will use it, and thought it was worth the $11.
re: stockholm28
I love Melissa Clark, and loved reading this book, though I haven't tried any recipes from it yet. Is it just me or are they not that appealing? I was thinking about whether I should get Cook This Now.
re: pistachio peas
I think these two books elicited a funny sort of reaction from a bunch of us. Sort of a shrug in the beginning, then a slight interest, then the realization that the recipes were turning out well for others (they were Cookbook of the Month selections one month), and then deep affection and frequent use. My first read through my first one (Cook This Now, I think) was a bit blase; now I use both books all the time, and find them especially useful for quick, delicious family meals. (sorry everyone who has already heard this from me a thousand times.)
re: LulusMom
Thank you for this response! That's really helpful.
I was shopping Amazon yesterday shopping for a friends birthday gift and came across The Johnny Harris Cookbook and promptly ordered that for myself.That restaurant in Savannah is probably my favorite since childhood.
I decided to look at Amazon.UK for the gift and found a new book ( 4/14) by Simon Hopkinson that will not be available in the US until Sept/Oct. Simon Hopkinson Cooks. I ordered it and will be ordering a copy for my self very soon.
re: Candy
If you are, by any chance, buying a kindle version you can already get the Simon Hopkinson book. I got it months ago.
The Homemade Flour Cookbook: The Home Cook's Guide to Milling Nutritious Flours and Creating Delicious Recipes with Every Grain, Legume, Nut, and Seed from A-Z by Erin Alderson
I'm glad Amazon finally got a preview up, I've been wanting to flip through this before ordering. It looks great and will be here Thursday.
GOOD MORNING PALEO by Jane Barthelemy
According to the bookstore, this book just hit the shelves today. I usually don't buy books on the spot, but go home and research what everyone things of them before taking the plunge. But this book looks to be the real deal and since we try to eat grain free at our house, or at the very least, gluten free, I think I will find this book very inspirational. Just in time for summer and daily breakfasts at home!
I have been living paleo-adjacent for quite some time and find it to be a very livable lifestyle. It really doesn't require any special cookbooks, just using the recipes out of your existing pile that are on the healthy side.
If I miss eating the way I did when I was young at all it is during the morning. My breakfast cravings are for things like a bagel and cream cheese, or a chocolate croissant and a latte. Both are no-nos now that I blow up like a balloon when I eat carbs. This book will allow me to cook and eat breakfast food that I crave while staying away from refined sugar and grains.
It is not yet indexed on EYB, but to give you an idea, here are a few of breakfast recipes that are included:
blueberry pancakes
chocolate brownie superfood waffles
blueberry chia jam
peach shortbread crumble
caramel chocolate superfood bars (the most nutrient dense food in this book)
cinnamon apple sour cream coffee cake muffins
pumpkin muffins
various quick breads such as chocolate pumpkin, cranberry orange cardamom, and sweet potato pecan
paleo crepes made with arrowroot
etc. etc.
I am very excited! I will report back when I have some results to share with the group.
I just got "Brassicas" and "Whole Grain Mornings", in addition to "Short and Sweet" by Dan Lepard, and "Love Bake Nourish" by Amber Rose.
All look great....the Lepard book looks exceptional.
I've already made recipes from Brassicas and WGM that were good.
Though I may not have been in one of bt's desired cities when she posted this thread, I was definitely in the same timezone and relishing in the wonderfully diverse cuisine of China.
Though I was only home for a handful of days in May and it's my first day back in June, I have managed to acquire a cookbook!!
Actually it was one I ordered before I left and though it isn't for the Chinese cuisine I already miss, it does look like a wonderful book.
MY PARIS TABLE - by David Lebovitz
I'm currently reading David's book The Sweet Life in Paris and I really enjoy his writing style so I was pleased to see his cookbook is peppered with notes and stories, not to mention many enticing photos. With so few days at home again in June it's questionable whether I'll be able to participate in the COTM but if nothing else I can live vicariously through those threads and create a "Dishes to Try" list in EYB for a time when I am home.
re: Breadcrumbs
re: Breadcrumbs
Jealous of anyone's trips to China, here!
In the past month, I have acquired these books, all from a local thrift store! All of them $6 or less.
Cooking in the Moment - Andrea Reusing (loved reading this)
Kitchen Diaries - Nigel Slater
Breads from La Brea Bakery - Nancy Silverton
The Art of Mexican Cooking - Diana Kennedy
Super Natural Everyday - Heidi Swanson
I just finished re-reading Tamar Adler's An Everlasting Meal. You'd think the above books are enough to sustain me but I really want the Zuni Cafe Cookbook and some Laurie Colwin. I'm also really excited about the upcoming release of the memoir/cookbook by Amelia Morris from the blog Bon Appetempt.
re: pistachio peas
"You'd think the above books are enough to sustain me"
No, no I wouldn't, and that is why I (and many others!) are on this thread!!!
re: roxlet
Hahahaha! Good point. And one of the reasons I was so excited to find this thread (and COTM, which I also didn't know about).
re: pistachio peas
I absolutely love Kitchen Diaries. In fact I love all Slater's cookbooks. It too was a COTM... here's the main thread:
Can I just say how happy I am that I have found this "section" of Chowhound? I feel like I have found my people!!!
re: Andi1986
I hope you enjoy your meals from the book. I received it as a gift, but haven't cooked from it yet. It seems as if the recipes are good, basic Italian food.
re: Andi1986
I just made their duck ragu last night for dinner. It was off the Cooking Channel website, but I imagine it must also be in their book. It was very good.
re: Andi1986
re: Andi1986
50 Chowders/Jasper White ($0.01) and Think Like A Chef/Tom Colicchio ($0.24) Now I ask you, how could I resist? The Colicchio arrived yesterday and the other is on its way. Flipping through it quickly last night gave me the pan-roasted asparagus recipe we'll make tonight. There's also a scallop & mushroom recipe that looks good to me. The Chowder book speaks for itself. All kinds of different chowder recipes, not just seafood, and all the basics as well.
re: Gio
Tom Colicchio's asparagus from that book was my go-to for many years. I usually make it at least once a year but haven't done it this year yet. I also love his technique for the pan-roasted mushrooms that are incorporated into the scallop dish. Pretty sure I've done the scallops with good success also. Let's see.... I've made the roasted tomatoes and the roasted tomatoes with sea bass dish is delicious but too complicated for me these days. The creamless creamed corn is absolutely brilliant during corn season. Lastly, there are a bunch of recipes near the end of the book involving potatoes, leeks and bacon and I'm pretty sure I've made and liked all of them. The potato leek and bacon soup is the one I've made most often, I make a batch of this soup in the fall almost every year.
re: Westminstress
This is terrific to know, WM! Many thanks. I'll have more time today to go through the book today and will note all your suggestions.
re: Westminstress
Just to let you know that I made both the asparagus and the mushrooms and you are so right! They were Delicious. Thank for the recommendation, WM.
Bought Carole Walter's Coffeecake book as a birthday present for myself. Don't know how I missed it when it first came out but kept meaning to buy it when I saw it mentioned on the baking threads.
Who wrote "the Best Asian Noodle Recipes"? Is it new?
re: AGM_Cape_Cod
The World's Best Asian Noodle Recipes: 125 Great Recipes from Top Chefs – October 15, 2013
by Kirsten Hall
This gem of a book is hot off the presses.
I went to her cooking demo/book signing today and she made 4 salads out of the book (roasted kale, herb, fig and heirloom tomato, and a pluot mache salad (for this last one we subbed white and yellow nectarines for the pluots and purslane for the mach b/cuz that is what was available at the Farmer's Market). All the salads were stunning and delicious!
Not only did I buy the book, I bought 4 other of her books.
All hard bound, stunning books. They are: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each one had me salivating. All her books seem to be produce driven. She has a blog on her website (link in my prior post), so you can get an idea what her recipes are like.
For those of you in LA, she will be doing another book signing at the SM Farmer's Market next Wednesday.
FWIW, it does not appear her books are available on Amazon, or any other discount sites, and few of her other books are available for resale. I take that as a good sign that all available copies of her books are being coveted by their owners. The books are not indexed on EYB. If any of you have her books, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
re: dkennedy
Reporting back to say I have now made 4 recipes from the various Pascale Beale books discussed above and I am very much enjoying this extravagant purchase. I posted notes on EYB discussing the recipes, but briefly, I have tried the kale salad, quiche, grilled figs, and the lavender ice cream.
re: buttertart
Good to know!!
re: buttertart
Just curious whats wrong with that? Kind of implied as it says "125 Great Recipes from Top Chefs" on the cover. Was it just not practical and more of a coffee table cookbook like many restaurant cookbooks tend to be? Some people are actually turned off by that, but restaurant cookbooks tend to be a favorite of mine so this book is starting to interest me. Or was it the expectation of more authentic, traditional recipes?
re: GOJIRA
I expected more traditional recipes. A lot of these are quite fusion-y.
I bought two:
1. What's a Cook To Do? by James Peterson; not a recipe book but a collection of "how tos" - tips, techniques, etc. Have not read it yet and might find it too simplistic in which case will happily pass it along on one of the young ones.
2. On The Noodle Road by Jen Lin-Liu; also not a recipe book but rather a travelogue with a handful of recipes from China, Italy, Turkey, Iran and Central Asia. I hope it is an enjoyable read.
re: nikkihwood
Good to hear as I bought it just because it sounded good :) Looking forward to reading it as soon as I clear the way - too many books, too little time!
re: nikkihwood
Thank you for the suggestion! On The Noodle Road is the book I bought. Does she have two other books or just Serve The People?
re: buttertart
Oy, sorry, should not post when tired. It's just the two books.
Not a recent purchase, but I'm finally getting around to reading John Lanchester's "The Debt to Pleasure." A total delight.
re: JoanN
Ooooh, I remember that book!
I got the Gramercy Tavern cook book today. I've not had a chance to sit down and go through. I'll have to report back later. I also bought Simon Hopkinson's book, Simon Hopkinson Cooks for a friend's birthday. It is not yet available in the US. I ordered it on Amazon UK.After going through it carefully I decided I need to have the book too.
re: herby
I have both (not Candy, but figured I'd jump in) and like them both. I like the SH book more for its chatty companionship, if that makes sense. The DH book is one that I will cook from more. But that is just me - I don't eat a lot of red meat, or make a heck of a lot of desserts. But SH's meals sound wonderful, and I just love being in his company on the page.
re: LulusMom
Are you wearing your red dress today, LLM ? :) I am trying very hard to curb my purchases and have been lusting after DH book for a while. And now you say that SH book is a wonderful read to someone who could spend her days reading! What am I to do? Check the library, I suppose...
re: LulusMom
Tell more! Please! What did you make?
And completely off the subject... have you ever bought those lights to grow herbs indoors? Did it work for you?
re: herby
I made the chicken shawarma (sp?) - you can read the review (a rave) on the DH thread.
Funny that you brought up that herb thing! Yes, I did buy one, and was *just* about to have Lulu and me do it as a project last week when I realized we'd be away for 6 days in about a week or two. So ... I figured it might make more sense to wait until we get back. I'm very much looking forward to trying it. We have so much shade (huge trees surround our yard - our gardener works very hard at finding spots where things will grow) and so many hungry squirrels digging things up that this was the only way herbs were going to work. Ask me again in a month or so and I'll let you know how it went.
re: LulusMom
Thank you, great review. From all recipes that I've seen on line, I think I would enjoy the book a lot. Maybe in the fall. Right now I want to focus on my neglected books - Canal House, Radically Simple, Asian Tofu, Around My French Table - all great books with many outstanding recipes.
Have you tried growing herbs in pots? I planted some on my balcony and they are doing well and looking happy - not a lot of sun there but lots of light. I finally got a charming community garden allotment and since I am new, my little beds are very shady surrounded by big trees. I planted a bit of everything and would evaluate in the fall to be more strategic next summer :)
re: rstuart
Yes, I am in Ottawa. We have many allotments here and even more just across the river, in Gatineau. There are a few large ones - 100+ plots - and plots are large 20' x 30'. I tried one of these and did not like it. Finally, after being on the waiting list for four years I got four tiny raised beds in a garden with 10 other people - small and cute :) The garden is on the top of a heating plant. I've attached the picture - not sure how it will come through.
ETA: It worked!
re: rstuart
Good idea! And put your mom's name on the waiting list for those that she might like.
re: herby
We had a bit of luck one summer with some tarragon, then it died. Ditto some Chinese chives. And I cannot stress enough the my gardener doesn't believe we'll have success. Between the lack of sun and the squirrels (which pulled up two potted elephant ear bulbs last week despite heavy stones being laid on top of each) it is darned near impossible. We can't grow grass in the backyard - we have moss cover. Very pretty and green, but no direct sunlight.
re: LulusMom
Squirrels love bulbs. It's too bad that nothing would grow. Maybe your gardener could find a light spot for a pot of herbs? You could put a wire thingy over it to protect young plants - I think squirrels stay away from established plants.
re: herby
I liked the SH book and am going to order a copy for myself. I am reading through the Gramercy Tavern book right now. I'm taking my time with it but I like it. I have not found anything so far that made me get up and start cooking. Maybe it is the weather in the upper 90's. I kind of don't feel like cooking much of anything.
Here's one that I'm putting on my fall wish list:
And there is a recipe for flourless chocolate cookies that was released by the publisher:
And for those of you who might not recognize the name, Dominique Ansel is the inventor of the cronut...
re: roxlet
That does look good!
re: roxlet
I just found Northern Italian Cooking by Francesco Ghedini at a thrift store for .89 cents. Does anyone have any experiences with this cookbook?
re: pistachio peas
Looks very nice!
re: thistle5
Smoke & Pickles was Cookbook of the Month last September. Definitely some winning recipes. Here's the master thread, if you want to see what Chowhounds thought: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/915282
re: thistle5
"Smoke & Pickles" was COTM this past September and many of us really enjoyed some of the recipes. Take a look at our reviews starting here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/915282
re: JoanN
Thanks, I think it's a good fit for me-I'm Southern, & I love Korean food (& soccer-SKorea/Russia, 1-1, just ended). It just looks like it's skewed towards pork (& I like pork, but I just smoke it) & not as many seafood recipes (my recent passion). The other one on my wish list is the "Lee Bros. Charleston Cookbook".
re: thistle5
I wussed out, & only bought, "Down South", but it's awesome, other than a couple of recipes (guinea hen & frog legs, hard to get ingredients), I'd cook everything in this book. & I have a lot of cookbooks...
Recently purchased:
Fried & True - the fried chicken book mentioned on the July COTM nomination thread - looks great!
The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail Technique
Sweet Cream & Sugar Cones (Bi-Rite Creamery's ice cream book - not as interesting as I had hoped; plus, I can get their ice cream delivered by Good Eggs to my front door)
Just got an email from TGC informing me that they are finally tallying up our old points (which they took off our accounts more than a year ago). Well my points are back, but only for a couple of months. They will become null and void as of September 2014. What kind of a customer service policy is that? I am more than a little bit irritated. Luckily, I have always spent my points as I went along, but for those who haven't, I guess it will be time to stock up on holiday gifts.
re: dkennedy
re: herby
A month or so ago I pre-ordered "The Baking Bible" by Rose Levy Beranbaum and "Nick Malgieri's Pastry," both due out in the Fall. I've written to them asking if I can apply my points to books that had already been ordered but not yet delivered, but I haven't heard back from them yet.
I don't have either of the books you mentioned. I know a lot of people here seem to like the Tanis, but I figure I can get most of his recipes on the NYTimes Web site; could be wrong about that, though. You do know, don't you? that there's a cooking from thread for "Midwestern Table." http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/9214... Take a look and see what you think.
re: buttertart
I hope to love him too and just ordered his Pastry and Caramel by Carole Bloom. That and a craft book took care of my points leaving 1P behind which is equal to $1 and nothing to worry about :) I'll wait for the order to ship and can my membership.
re: buttertart
My points were showing in the cart but I also got an email from them about the points. Hope you will have your points back quickly!
re: JoanN
So, I finally heard back from TGC that they will not allow me to apply points to the books I pre-ordered. That's it. I'm done with them. The books probably won't ship until October, but the minute they're in my hot little hands, I'm cashing in my points and saying bye-bye. Maybe by then they'll have something I want; they so rarely do.
re: Siegal
I probably could, but I ordered the books when they were offering a twofer deal and I don't have enough points to make up the difference in price.
re: JoanN
I have a book suggestion for you Joan - It is a pre-order (coming soon section book): Huckleberry, by Zoe Nathan. She is an up and coming chef around my parts (Los Angeles). Co-owns a bunch of restaurants with her hubby, all of which are highly successful. The book is going to focus mainly on her baked goods, but I am hopefully some of her other recipes will be in their as well because she makes wonderful salads, soups and meatballs. If you live in LA, the restaurants are Milo and Olive, Huckleberries, Sweet Rose Creamery (now a chain), and one other, the name of which escapes me. I think it will also include a few gluten free options, because she has a few of those on offer at her various storefronts.
ETA: A link to a favorite recipe of hers.
re: dkennedy
Ooooh. Like the look of that cake. Will make a note of the title. Thanks for the recommendation.
re: herby
I recently bought Tyler Florence's Fresh from the TGC sale section. I also have and like (not love) One Good Dish. That is to say, I am glad I own it, but I haven't made good use out of either book - yet. The other book that is calling to me is Buvette. I see that one is in the coming soon section.
re: dkennedy
Thank you, DK! I quickly looked at Buvette and it appears that I have many of the same recipes in other books and this, I must say, is becoming my problem with new books.
50 Chowders by Jasper White finally arrived yesterday and I flipped through it quickly. I want to make every one of the recipes. Curiously, he includes Christopher Kimball's buttermilk baking powder biscuits recipe as an accompaniment for many of the chowders.
I'm probably the last person on Earth to get it, but I finally picked up Mighty Spice. It's a great book! Lots of meals that look like they can come together pretty quickly, and great for those times when you find that you need to restock your spices, but want a flavorful dish that uses only 3 or 4 spices.
re: alliegator
I really really like Mighty Spice! There is a cooking from thread on it if you need inspiration or want to add a review.
Here is a link: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8052...
re: LulusMom
Thank you! I had never come across the thread before :)
Somewhat relevant: I recently lost a couple of eBay auctions, one for Anne Sophie Pic's "Le Livre Blanc" and the other for David Chang's "Momofuku". This is generally how I buy cookbooks. I got Mai Pham's "Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table" for $6 and Aduriz's "Mugaritz" for $15 this way. The "Le Livre Blanc" loss was especially annoying. The book looks gorgeous.

Got caught in a downpour, ducked into the library, and pulled "Avec Eric" off the shelf. I started CamScanning, but gave up after about five pages and just started reading. Two hours later, I came home and bought the book. $3.26 for a new copy on Amazon. And this way, I get to own all those photos of Eric. Hubba hubba.
Just got "Falling Cloudberries - A World of Family Recipes" by Tessa Kiros. I've been intrigued by the concept of this book for a while, but had never actually seen it. I finally broke down and bought an inexpensive used copy.
I've only spent a little time looking through it, but it is a lovely book. The author's mother is Finnish, her father is Greek Cypriot, she grew up in South Africa, and her husband is Italian. She has chapters with family recipes from Finland, Greece, Cyprus, South Africa, Italy, and the "World" (mostly recipes from friends). There are many little vignettes in the book with family stories and memories. The recipes are mostly traditional home cooking. It looks like it will be an enjoyable cookbook to read through.
re: stockholm28
I have had my eye on that one for a while. Please report back when you have had a chance to cook from it.
re: stockholm28
re: buttertart
It is really gorgeous ... not only the food photos, but the scenery from the different countries.
Never thought I'd get another cookery book til I recently tracked down Germany and Hungary Culinaria (http://tinyurl.com/qyklau6)
re: Pata_Negra
re: buttertart
I don't have a one. Can you tell me what makes them so wonderful?
re: dkennedy
They cover a lo of the aspects of a cuisine, with recipes -- which I've never used -- and gorgeous photos.
I got Honey & Co for my birthday -- it's a middle Eastern book from a London restaurant of the same name. The owners are Isreali and have worked in all sorts of top London restaurants, including Ottolenghi. It's full of interesting recipes, including some great cured and pickled stuff. The pickled cucumbers were the surprise hit of a meal I prepared on Saturday while spending the weekend with friends in France. So good I'm making them again soon!
Also succumbed to a TKMaxx bargain - Three Good Things on a Plate by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall. Lots of simple but enticing recipes. I made a salad of baby spinach, mushrooms and blue cheese at the weekend (but with lamb's lettuce instead of spinach which they do not seem to sell in France for some reason). I also made and enjoyed a pasta recipe involving asparagus (last of the season - sob) and chorizo.
After dining at Annisa last night, I decided to purchase Anita Lo's book, Dining Without Borders, which was less than $7 new on Amazon.
Two more to report: I finally picked up a copy of FONDA SAN MIGUEL. It has been on my wish list for some time, and an inexpensive copy finally became available. Just finished paging through it, and though it is beautiful, and every recipe sounds enticing, I realize, I did not need this book. I have to remember that for future reference. It must become my mantra: I do not need this book. I do not need this book. I do not need this book. Sigh. But now that I own it, I will have to make use of it.
HUCKLEBERRY by Zoe Nathan. This one is on preorder. Bought it with my points from COTM. Zoe is a local chef and I buy something from one of her shops at least one time a week so I am sure I will make use of this one. It has been hinted that it will be filled with mainly baking recipes (I am not a baker) so I really do not need this book. But, another sigh, I bought it. And I can't wait for it's release day (September).
re: dkennedy
I have Fonda San Miguel also. I picked it up at the Austin Costco about 2 years ago but never managed to make it to the restaurant sadly.
re: dkennedy
I am hosting a Ladies Tea in a few weeks so I made a test run of a recipe I was thinking of serving on that day. I pulled Zoe's jam filled scone recipe off the internet and if this is an indication as to how the recipes in her book are going to come out, this is going to be a great book.
The link I used:
ETA: I substituted GF flour for the regular flour, and cut out my dough using a square biscuit cutter. I froze my dough briefly (10 minutes) before attempting to cut it up, to firm up the dough. The recipe specifies baking for 30 minutes, mine were done in 23 minutes. Delicious!
re: dkennedy
dkennedy, I didn't see a scone recipe among the links at the bottom of that page. Am I missing something?
re: Caitlin McGrath
Here it is anyway...
re: roxlet
Thx, I must have attached the wrong link.
re: dkennedy
They do look fabulous, and I love that you HAVE to freeze them before baking. Makes it a great thing to have on hand!
re: dkennedy
I have Huckleberry sitting in my cart on Amazon. I am a baker and I still probably don't "need" it - but when has that ever stopped most of us? ;)
re: pistachio peas
It's a great book for sure!
re: pistachio peas
This might be the moment to mention for those who are members of The Good Cook that Jacques Pepin's New Complete Techniques is now $13. there (hardcover).
re: ellabee
Is the "New" significantly different from the original?
re: qianning
I was wondering as well. Is it worth replacing my old one? I realize it's been nearly 40 years, but has technique really changed all that much in that time?
I too have "Food of Life" Just got "From Persia to Napa"
also by Najmieh Batmanglij. Beautiful!
My husband is Persian, born in Tehran. God bless my mother-in-law for teaching me to make such delicious food!
re: uneed2eat
I love people discovering Persian food.
I finally got around to purchasing a Fannie Farmer for myself. 13th edition (as I do so love Marion). I'm in traditional home-cooking Heaven right about now. Please, don't wake me up.
re: alliegator
Another brick and mortar store closing down. :( I remember going to browse bookstores on a date. This is sort of sad.
re: roxlet
It is sad. I love books. And my pap and I spend a lot of hours in there browsing. Le sigh...
The only thing that would make it ok is if a nice place to eat or a good market takes over the space. No word yet.
re: alliegator
I love that cookbook. His text is in the same manner as his speaking. It adds to the fun when a cookbook makes you laugh while you cook.
re: alliegator
I love the beef bourguignon recipe in that book.
For laughs, I am dying to see the My Drunk Kitchen cookbook. I am hoping I might get it for Hanukkah from the same person who gave me my Amy Sedaris cookbook.
I just got Radically Simple in preparation for next month's COTM - it looks interesting. I've flagged about 20 recipes, mostly in the soup and salad chapters - I don't make a lot of soup, and I tend to get stuck in a rut with salads, so there were a lot of fresh ideas there.
I also got Fish Without a Doubt, which I know is a big favorite on these boards. I love fish and don't cook it nearly often enough, so hopefully this book will inspire me. DH isn't a huge fish/shellfish fan but he has recently expressed a desire to eat more of it, so a little more fish knowledge should come in handy.
re: biondanonima
FWAD is probably the best used cookbook on my shelves. And I've given it as a gift to a number of friends. In fact, just the other night I was Skyping with a friend in Seattle to whom I had given the book about a year ago and we both, coincidentally, had made the Tuna au Poivre the night before. We'll be sharing a condo in Hawaii this Fall and agreed that even if it meant having to bring less other stuff, one of us would have to bring this book.
You're gonna love it. Guaranteed.
re: JoanN
Wow, that's some high praise! I actually just finished reading it and while there are a few recipes I want to try, I think the techniques are by far the most valuable lessons in the book. Lists of which fish to sub for which are also super helpful. Now to find a good and not-TOO-expensive fishmonger...
re: roxlet
The Good Cook club is totally f***ed! Tried to take advantage of the holiday bundle sale. I put four books in my cart, went to check out, and nothing happened when I clicked on "place order." Went to live support, and see there are "23 visitors waiting to be served." Evidently I'm not the only one. I don't understand how these people stay in business.
re: roxlet
I waited an hour to get someone on line, and once I did it took nearly another hour for them to put through my order. They kept asking me the same questions over and over again and I must have gotten at least eight messages apologizing and saying they were having technical difficulties. In the end, they finally did put my order through manually, but it was all in all a painful experience.
re: JoanN
Which books are you guys ordering? I only ever order when they have a bundle/$13-any-title sale, and I haven't found much to order for ages, it seems, other than pre-ordering RLB's Baking Bible. But I have points to use so am interested in digging up anything they've got that's worth shelf space (shelf space is beyond limited, so I'm picky!).
re: Siegal
Yes, that was what they said. Over, and over, and over again. I'd be more sympathetic if there hadn't been so many problems with both the Web site and the club structure for nearly a year now.
re: Siegal
That's always been my problem, too. I can't say I REALLY wanted all the books I just ordered, but I did want two of them and the other two sounded quite appealing. Once those books arrive, and I've cashed in my points (which you can't do when you're taking advantage of one of their bundle offers), I'm done. I can nearly always buy what I really want less expensively used on Amazon.
re: pikawicca
I highly recommend the pickled cucumbers and carrots, and the cherry and pistachio cake.

MultiROM Ported to the Moto E
Posted September 2, 2014 at 01:00 pm by Will Verduzco
Few categories of Android development are as intrinsically interesting as the ability to boot into multiple operating systems. Multiboot, as it's most commonly known, allows one to do exactly this. The most popular implementation of multiboot that we've seen on the Android platform comes in the form of XDA Recognized Developer Tasssadar's MultiROM. MultiROM has been officially and unofficially ported to a wide variety of devices. Today, one more device has been added to the list, the popular and wallet-friendly Motorola Moto E.
The unofficial MultiROM for the Moto E port comes courtesy of XDA Senior Member percy_g2. As is the case with other implementations, user. . . READ ON »
Get to Know Your Moto E Inside Out with All-in-One Guide
Posted July 13, 2014 at 11:00 pm by Samantha
Ever since it was announced and released earlier this year, the affordable and powerful Moto E has been embraced by a very active community here and hence has seen much development. Of course, this is also due to the open nature towards aftermarket support Motorola has given it, as seen with gestures such as the prompt release of the device's kernel source and Motorola's official method of unlocking the bootloader. With so much to play with, it is without a doubt that plenty of folks here have went out and gotten a Moto E for themselves, and if you find yourself a new owner of the device, the 'all-in-on' Moto E beginner's guide is a great way to get things started.
Let's the Games Begin! SlimKat and Unofficial CM11 Ported to the Moto E
Posted June 28, 2014 at 12:30 pm by Tomek Kondrat
The Moto G, which was released back in 2013, has seen great success. The cheap and powerful device almost immediately found its way into the pockets of many XDA users around the world. Lenovo, after purchasing Motorola, decided to release an even more budget-friendly successor, the Moto E.
The Moto E's firmware is close to AOSP, but in contrast to Nexus devices, the device tree wasn't released. A while ago, we talked about a device tree by XDA Recognized Developers JackpotClavin and cybojenix. We're pleased to announce that the whole process has gone well, and you can now try source-built Android in two flavors: Slim and CyanogenMod. This is possible thanks to cybojenix. . . READ ON »
The Moto E is One Step Closer to Source-Built ROM Goodness
Posted June 12, 2014 at 03:30 am by Tomek Kondrat
Motorola released two very successful devices last year: the Moto G and Moto X. Both were (and still are) great smartphones in their respective categories. And by releasing the G, Motorola showed other OEMs that good devices don't have to be very expensive. Not too long ago, Motorola released the even more wallet friendly Moto E, which is poised to conquer the developing markets.
Right after the Moto E's release, XDA Recognized Developer cybojenix managed to root it and create a custom recovery. Nearly a month later, there is quite a bit of work that has been done to bring source-built ROM goodness to Moto E. XDA Recognized Developers JackpotClavin and cybojenix a. . . READ ON »
Android 4.4.3 Rolling Out to Moto X, E, and G Starting Today!
Posted June 3, 2014 at 06:00 pm by Will Verduzco
Folks, it looks like Good Guy Moto is at it again! Just yesterday, we covered the launch of Android 4.4.3, and today we took a look at the latest version of KitKat what exactly has changed in 4.4.3. Also earlier today, the update started making its way out to the WiFi-only version of the Nexus 7 (2013). Now, we've got some great news for Moto device owners, as Motorola has just announced that it will begin rolling out Android 4.4.3 to the Moto X, Moto G, and Moto E.
You may recall that just a little while ago, Motorola Mobility was acquired by Chinese computer manufacturer Lenovo. This naturally led many to wonder whether Googorola's trademark timely updates would then be passed along to Moton. . . READ ON »
GPL-Mandated Moto E Kernel Source Finally Released, Razr M/HD Source Updated to KitKat
Posted May 31, 2014 at 05:00 pm by Will Verduzco
We've talked quite a bit about the highly affordable Moto E ever since its launch earlier this month. We first shared a system dump a little under two weeks ago, and that was quickly followed by a preliminary TWRP build. Then two days after that, Motorola graciously allowed us to bootloader unlock the device.
Despite all of this early progress, one thing had been missing up until now, and that's functional kernel source. Now, however, Motorola has finally complied with the GPL-requirements and released the open source kernel code for the Moto E.
Ordinarily, we wouldn't be celebrating an OEM for taking a half month in releasing something that should have been available at devi. . . READ ON »
Motorola Now Lets You Unlock the Moto E Bootloader
Posted May 20, 2014 at 02:00 pm by Will Verduzco
We've talked quite a bit about the recently released Moto E in the past week. From its official launch to a system dump, root, and unofficial TWRP recovery, the device has had an active start. And thanks to its incredibly low, unsubsidized price point, relatively decent specs, and hallmark Motorola support, it's no big surprise that many consumers and developers have shown interest in the device.
Now, yet another milestone has been reached on the E. This is of course official bootloader unlock courtesy of Motorola. This move should come as no surprise to Motorola aficionados, as the former Google subsidiary has shown aftermarket developers quite a bit of love in the past year. As su. . . READ ON »
Root and Unofficial TWRP Recovery Available for the Moto E
Posted May 18, 2014 at 09:00 am by Tomek Kondrat
It's been a short while since Motorola, now owned by Lenovo, announced the Moto E. In many ways, the E is quite similar to the extremely popular Moto G thanks to its affordable price point and great user experience. This cheap, but capable good device may well become a big success.
The Moto E was launched with a near stock Android firmware and an unlockable bootloader. And soon, the custom ROM madness will arrive, since a system dump was just released by XDA Senior Member Saumitra Yadav. But the above isn't the end of today's good news for Moto E users. XDA Recognized Developer cybojenix managed to port TWRP to the "Condor," which is the Moto E's code . . . READ ON »
Pick Apart the Guts of the Moto E with a System Dump
Posted May 18, 2014 at 05:30 am by Will Verduzco
You may recall that we recently added a forum here on XDA for the Moto E. Following up on the highly regarded and wallet-friendly Moto G, the Moto E manages to undercut the G on price, while still offering competent specs capable of delivering a great user experience. Naturally given the device's performance/price ratio, it is destined to become a crowd favorite here—both for developers and end users. And what do people do with popular devices? Mod them to hell and back, of course!
Although we highly encourage source-built modification whenever possible, many enjoy creating ROMs or mods from existing OEM firmware. For those looking to go down this road for the Moto E, a necessary start. . . READ ON »

July uptick in manufacturing jobs good, but much more neededSeptember 8, 2014
In light of 4,600 new California manufacturing jobs reported in July, we thought we'd take a look at how some of the state's job sectors were doing against the rest of the country since we began to come out of the recession in 2010. The CMTA chart here shows each sector's growth and average salary in both California and the U.S. It also shows the percentage of the private sector job base that each of these sectors account for in California. In total it shows our state needs to find ways to attract more manufacturing. Upticks like we saw in July are promising but California must keep it up.

Vine Notes: Outlook for global, regional wine marketsAugust 26, 2014
The 2014 grape harvest is well underway, and expectations are for a strong crop after two terrific harvests in 2012 and 2013.
While the Southern Hemisphere is projecting mixed results in supply, the Northern Hemisphere is geared for another plentiful, though not exceptional, crop. Although the grape yield looks to be strong once more, winegrowers are confronted with new challenges in the changing consumer base and the growing world-wide competition in wine production.
Last year, the United States overtook the United Kingdom as the largest wine import market in the world. A key part of this is the trend of the baby boomer consumer base giving way toward a wine-craving millennial base in the wine industry.
Impact Napa Conference 2014: Mondavi 'singlehandedly brought to the valley culture'August 25, 2014
Wine and related businesses need to take a long view backward and forward at tensions and traditions behind the character, speed and scale of the growth of Napa Valley's biggest industry.
That will be the focus for an interview with Margrit Mondavi and two panel discussions at the Impact Napa Conference this Thursday.
Building on Mrs. Mondavi's background in promoting Napa Valley as a wine-focused destination, the first conference panel will focus on the intersection of agritourism, which keeps the economy vital in the global marketplace, and the desire to preserve agriculture.
Drawing on Mrs. Mondavi's experience in blending the wine industry traditions of pre- and post-Prohibition with new ways to broaden the experience of wine, the second conference panel will focus on the next generation of the wine business.

Review: Apricorn Aegis Mini Ultra Portable HDD
Elegant portable hard drive requires no power supply. (January 31st, 2007)
MacNN Rating:
Product Manufacturer: Apricorn,Inc.
Price: $189.00
The Good
- Small. Easy to Use. Versatile. Built-in USB Cord. Ships with USB extension cord and case. Bus-powered.
The Bad
- Sync and backup software did not work for me.
Now that the New Year is well under way, it is time for you folks that live dangerously and neglect to back up your information to start looking at solutions. Whether you think backing up is inconvenient, expensive, or technically demanding, it is less so than trying to recover gigabytes of files. One easy solution is the Apricorn 60GB Aegis Mini Ultra USB Portable Hard Disk Drive. The Aegis Mini is compatible with Apple G3s or newer, and requires a free USB port, only 32MB of RAM, and it requires no external power supply. I am happy to report that after using the Aegis Mini and giving it a strenuous two-month trial, it really comes in handy, and does wonders to simplify the chore of data backup.
Simple Convenient StorageI carried the Aegis Mini from one class to the next, and the card deck-sized HDD enclosure proved itself worthy. The drive boasts a 16-point omni-directional shock mounting system to ensure the safety of the enclosed 1.8" Hitachi hard drive. The 60GB drive stuffed in my shirt pocket lets me free up space on my laptop and serves as a traveling repository for my entire music library. The required 4-5" USB cable is integrated into the Mini and snaps right into the side of the exterior of this small, well-designed external hard drive. There is something to be said for not having to carry around additional USB or power cables. Transferring between university-owned computers and my own is easy because the Aegis does not require drivers for use with Mac OS X, just plug it in and the hard drive icon pops up on the desktop.
On the OutsideThe drive has a silver top that sports the Apricorn triangular arrow insignia, so it compliments my MacBook Pro. The top also features a blue light that glows to denote transfer activity. The underside is black, and includes a slot where the integrated cable snaps in for convenience and portability. The hard drive also ships with an USB extension cable, in case placing the drive right up to the computer using the built-in cord is inconvenient. An included small neoprene pouch protects the sleek exterior from scratches and dings.
In the insideThe 4200RPM Hitachi hard drive features USB transfers up to 480Mbps, so file transfers are fast. The drive has an average seek time of 12ms, along with a 2MB buffer size. I can move CDs, documents, and other casually used files in an instant and, between Mac OS X and Windows X, if partitioned with the FAT32 file system. The Aegis Mini USB Ultra Portable HDD also comes in 30GB for $114.00, after rebate, and 80 GB for $239.00.
Software IncludedWhile the Aegis Mini does not require software in order to perform basic file transfers, Apricorn includes a data protection suite CD-ROM including two different backup programs and Apricorn's own encryption software. Their third-party backup offerings are Qdea Synchronize! X and Shirt Pocket SuperDuper! The capabilities of these backup utilities are separate reviews of their own, however they retail for over $100 if purchased separately. While Qdea and Shirt Pocket offer support for their software, my personal experience is that both programs are unstable and would not seamlessly backup on the FAT32 file system I wanted to use. I experienced permissions errors and frozen processes with the third-party software. However, Apricorn Encryptor functioned flawlessly for me. This does not effect the value of the product simply because there is plenty of other backup software available.
While the third-party software may add value, the $189.00 price for the Aegis Mini USB Ultra Portable HDD is a great deal and an awesome solution for your data protection worries.

Editorial: Curtains up on a robust performance season
The theater business in Southwest Florida is booming.
So say the box offices of leading venues ranging from concert halls to dinner theaters.
The sight of thousands of visitors and residents alike enjoying live shows is good for the soul.
Yet, there is more to this story.
We see this as a big business as well. There are professionals and entrepreneurs involved at nearly every level of this booming arts scene. There are organizations, musicians, technicians and even actors earning paychecks.
There are spinoff effects on restaurants and even clothing stores.
Some of the rosy outlook is due to people having money to spend again as the economy bounces back. We like to think that the boom also is related to the quality of the offerings. The talent level this impressive at all levels, and programs seem better chosen for our audiences who appreciate the edgy as well as the tried and true.
And even shows that seem geared toward a younger set, such as the musical "Once'' at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall in Fort Myers, are well attended by seniors.
It's an exciting mix that includes two big shows, "War Horse'' at The Mann and "Jersey Boys'' at Artis—Naples running side by side and wrapping up their week-long runs today.
And more arts are on the way as groups look for newer and larger venues at Bayshore Drive in East Naples and Ave Maria University. Bonita Springs debuted a performance center this season.
One possible reason why the arts are so warmly received this season turns out to be a myth. Could have something to do with the blizzard season chasing people out of the North and delaying flights from here back home? No way. Tickets were all scooped up long before they even got here.

excellent concert

The pianist was really terrible. He attacked the piano as if were a wild beast that needed taming. He had no musical sense at all. Members of the orchestra obviously felt the same way.
The second half of the program was FABULOUS!

San Francisco Symphony
Tchaikovsky :Piano Concerto No. 1
Sibelius: Symphony No. 2
Herbert Blomstedt leads the San Francisco Symphony through two intensely emotional works. Tchaikovsky's captivating First Piano Concerto may reference a lost love, while the soaring Second Symphony of Jean Sibelius captures a sense of national pride that made him a Finnish cultural hero.

I visited El Mariachi on a weekday for lunch with friends. I had been there before many years ago with a large group, but this time there were only three of us. It was not busy, possibly due to the fact that the number of lunch places in the area has grown exponentially. Maybe because of the relatively quiet afternoon, our server was most helpful as one of my companions was wheelchair bound, requiring some accommodation, and the other had various dietary requests. I would have been happy to have just sat there enjoying bottomless fresh baked nachos, salsa and sangria, but ordered the lomo saltado, and my companions the masitas de puerco and the pescado veracruzana {rainbow trout]. We were all most pleased with our choices, but as the menu seemed quite extensive, there were many other items I would have loved to have tried as well. Perhaps another time! White tablecloths and napkins, and nice presentation, gave it a more formal touch.

Myanmar-Rebel Conflict is Not Black and White
Last week, Myanmar's military launched airstrikes against ethnic rebels from the northern state of Kachin, the latest salvo in a conflict between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and Myanmar's central government that has escalated since a 1994 cease-fire came apart in 2011.
Like other ethnic minorities in Myanmar, the Kachin have long sought more autonomy from the central government of the Southeast Asian nation, also known as Burma, which was under repressive military rule for five decades but has experienced a modicum of reform since President U Thein Sein came to power in 2011. Yet Thein Sein's ascent was soon followed by a worsening of the conflict between the KIA and the central government that has raised concerns over the prospects for peace. ...

By the time Graal reaches the kitchen, Linnzie's mess was gone. I come out of my stance and smile, glad the Balancers had understood and now I had to build the teams. I grab the intercom. [All hunters meet me in the Armory in 10 minutes.] I then go to the armory, grabbing my coat as I go.
Edited by Zarkun on 9/8/2012 3:35 PM PDT
I grab a energy bar off of the counter and Linnzie pounced me, she was licking my face. "Hey, what are you doing?"
She continued. "I am showing my kindness for what you did."
OOC: Zarkun, me doing a sub plot. I think you can tell what it is.
I head down to the armory after hearing the announcement.
OOC: Alright i wont start new threads
Linnzie quit licking me and I got up. "You don't have to lick me you know?"
She said back. "I don't?"
"No, now if you follow me we will go to the armory, and maybe you should wear something else?"
She smiled and followed. "Ok."
All good. I actually think bnet could use a meebo chat bar or something.
IC: I arrive just ahead of Seraphim and Micheal. "Ah, so I'm not going to get ignored. Good." I hit a series of buttons and a tournament arena appears, definitely built stronger then the training.
Edited by Zarkun on 9/8/2012 2:27 PM PDT
I arrived with Linnzie on my heels. "Maybe we should give her a change of clothes, and she is following me like crazy, like she has an affection with me?" I whispered the last part to Tobi so nobody could hear.
Name: Seraphim
Age: 35
Weapons & Equipment:
- Avenger; a reforged demonic blade inlaid with silver warding runes and anointed with holy oil (family heirloom)
- Angel's Breath; a handheld holy oil flamethrower. (adjustable flame spread, from wide to pinpoint)
- Storm Caller; psi lightning rod, self-explanatory
- Medical Kit
- Psi Mastery level 1 (gives Psi Boost an all around improvement and make Storm Caller do more damage as it's a psychic weapon)
- Psi Boost; can temporarily enhance physical attributes (sight, strength, toughness, etc)
- Advanced Training; (Passive) Extensive knowledge of monster tracking, mechanics and field medicine, also well trained in mixed martial arts
Backstory: A descendent of another prominent monster hunting family, Seraphim received a message from Alistair requesting his presence at New Hellsing Mannor.
Just thought it would be a good idea to update and repost.
Oh? what's up with this? (gestures to tournament arena)
Edited by Warhawk on 9/8/2012 2:33 PM PDT
I chuckle to myself and decide to let Linnzie explain her affection when she was ready. "Graal, take Linnzie to the armorer machine in the back. It'll supply her with what she'll need. And you'll find out what this is for once you all arrive."
"Linnzie, Tobi wants me to take you to get fitted ok?"
She gave me this look and sighed. "Fine..."
We walked to the armorer. I then sent a message to Tobi. What are we going to do about her, she only has Teeth and Claws, and a dinky pistol.
"Ill guide her to the forge and teach her to craft weapons."
@Linnzie "having a regular weapon isnt enough. You'll need to implant runes to strenghten it if you want to survive. Ill walk you through it. I hand her a book with instructions."
We reached the armorer and I saw Linnzie looking at the armor in distaste. "Can't find anything you like."
She turned to me and gave me this look of the answer no. "I can't find anything, she then saw what seemed to be like a duster like item. "I'll take that." She swiped it and put it on. "I can take off the shirt later, it's all raggy." She then was looking at the weapons and she only took a bow. "Guns are so clumsy."
I nodded. "Well, if you are ready then lets go back." We exited out and met back with Tobi. Linnzie was actual looking really good, the rags weren't showing and she was just carrying the bow.
"What, I don't like guns, clumsy."
OOC: And how are you going to get her exactly on to use a weapon?
Edited by CrymsonRaven on 9/8/2012 2:50 PM PDT
I head back to the armory and decide to wait.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 02: Rob Gronkowski of the New England Patriots carries a reception into the endzone past Antrel Rolle of the New York Giants for a first quarter touchdown on September 2, 2010 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
According to the Boston Herald, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski told Patriots.com that he shed the cast on his right forearm. Gronk also took the time to talk about the recent headlines he's been making after doing a wrestling move in a Vegas nightclub. "I've just been living my life how I have been — with my family, with my friends — since I was a young kid," Gronkowski said. "I appreciate everyone's support of me. Just worrying about my arm, just making sure I'm 100 percent healthy, which I totally agree because I definitely want to be 100 percent healthy. I love playing the game of football. I love the game of football. To this day, I always wonder, without sports where would I be? I just have to appreciate that and just watch out, totally be careful out there, and get my forearm 100 percent and get my body healthy so when next season rolls around, I'm ready to go."

The Beacon
What If an Oil Spill Happened Near You?
It's been one year since the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded, but the explosion and subsequent months-long spill has largely faded from public consciousness. And if people do think about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, they think about it happening "somewhere else," to "someone else's" community, and not really affecting their daily lives.
To mark the one-year anniversary since the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history, Oceana is asking the question: "What If It Happened Here?" What if the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and spill happened at a well-known and easily recognizable place in America? Would we still be chanting, "Drill, baby, drill?"
To try to personalize this message for people we created an ad campaign on display now in the Washington, D.C. Metro system that depicts the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion happening at the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., the New York Harbor, and the San Francisco Bay.
We hope that by asking the question, "What If It Happened Here?" we will get people to think about how they would be affected, and how their communities would be affected, if the BP oil spill happened off their coasts. We hope these ads will help people realize that we need to stop the drill.

Football fields of dreams
Originally Published: October 28, 2005By Craig Haubert | Scouts Inc.
A state in the heart of the Midwest is torn between being Big XII and Big Ten country. While the state of Iowa is divided between two teams in two different major college conferences, you will find they both agree football is a big part of the state's landscape. Many people outside of the state conjure up thoughts of farms and fields of dreams when they think about Iowa, but the state has a strong football tradition, from the University of Iowa's controversial pink visitor locker rooms, to the stand up tight ends coach Hayden Fry would use in his offense, to Iowa State's Troy Davis who rushed for over 2,000 yards in two consecutive seasons.
