Frugan: Sesame Beet Salad with Chia Dressing
I absolutely love beets! Their natural sweetness really satisfies any cravings I have, even when eaten in savory dishes. I made this simple mostly raw beet salad today in less than 5 minutes. I mixed my Sesame Ginger Chia Dressing and my Habanero Sauce together and oh my god! It was soo good! Habanero and beets .. what an amazing combination. You have to try it! Cilantro, beet greens, sesame and sunflower seeds added the final touches to this amazing salad.
I remember over the summer when I first used beans in frosting. I had created a very low sugar gluten free chocolate banana cake for the restaurant I was working in and wanted a healthier frosting. I had cooked black beans and I ran with it. I was so happy with how it worked and it felt really good to provide a baked good that was so much healthier than the shortening/earth balance stuff I put out on a daily basis.
Speaking of black beans, I finally put my meatballs to use for dinner last night. They were hard as golf balls when I added them to the sauce. They simmered in the sauce for 25 minutes and when I served them, they were awesome! Not mushy or too hard!
As I mentioned in the beginning of this post, I added sunflower seeds to my beet salad. Sunflower seeds are so delicious and frugal! I paid $2.79/lb in the bulk section at a local grocery store.
Toasting them brings out a delicious nuttiness in them. I use a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add a couple sprays of olive oil and sprinkle them with garlic salt and chili powder. I stand over them and flip the pan several times making sure they don't burn. A couple T on a salad is all you need for a satisfying crunch.
I cooked up a pound of white beans in the pressure cooker. I am open to recipe requests using them! Feel free to email me ( melodypolakow at gmail dot com ) or leave a comment with anything you wish to see Fruganized!
Have a great day!

I would faint at beets as i dont like them but this looks high end and beautiful and i want to eat it.ReplyDelete
I want 5 of those meatballs tonight
hail to the firm vegan meatball.
Hi! I absolutely LOVED your cabbage, potato and "cheese" soup (can't remember what you called it exactly) and pretty much think about it every day. I have been wondering though.... how about a beer "cheese" soup? I have a hankering... any suggestions? Some people may not like cooking with alcohol, and I'm not sure where you stand on that issue...ReplyDelete
Your food always looks so gorgeous. Especially the beets today!ReplyDelete
Becker, I don't drink, so I don't have any beer around .. so I probably wouldn't do a beer cheese soup.. although my ex might give me a bottle ! I'll let you know if I do..ReplyDelete
Hi Melody! I am so happy to have found your blog! It appears we have the same philosophy and passions! the beet salad looks mouthwatering! Oh and that barley!! Thanks for stopping by my blog and congrats on the featured foodpress recipe!ReplyDelete

What a great-looking beet salad! I love beets, and this sounds fantastic with the sesame ginger and habanero flavors.ReplyDelete
I saw a picture of this on Pinterest and since I'm trying to eat more beets for their health benefits, thought I'd give it a try. I made it last night and it was delicious! Not as pretty as your curlicue beets, but still yummy and colorful. I put in pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds and they added a great green contrast to the deep red beets. The dressing was a-maz-ing! Thank you for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
Hi, how did you achieve the spiral beet strips? It looks more delicious than plain shredded beets!ReplyDelete
YES....exactly that!! The shape of the beets is what first drew me in.... do tell!ReplyDelete

Batmaniacs held their collective breath this week at the following tweet by Conan O'Brien...
Holy home video, Batman!! Could it possibly be true? After decades of legal wrangling over copyright and ownership issues...is the Batman television show starring Adam West finally coming to home video?
Yes, it's true, says Warner Brothers Entertainment.
Warner Brothers has confirmed the news to several media outlets, including USA Today. The original 1966 Batman TV series will be released as a complete boxed DVD set later this year.
The show made instant stars of Adam West and Burt Ward and resulted in a cultural wave of Batmania that still ripples today.
But did you know that Lyle Waggoner almost donned the famous cape and cowl? Check out the original screentests for Batman below!
Lyle Waggoner / Adam West screen tests for 'Batman' - Youtube
Batman on Biography - Youtube
There's no word yet on whether Batman '66 Complete TV Series will also be available on Blu-ray, so you'll have to tune into tomorrow! Same Bat-time! Same Bat-channel!

Capcom Blames Piracy for Poor DMC4 PC SalesCapcom corporate officer Christian Svensson revealed that the PC edition of the company's demon-slaying action title Devil May Cry 4 (PC, PS3, 360) saw poor sales since it debuted early last month, owing in some part to rampant piracy of the game.
"It's not doing as well as I would like in the US at retail," Svensson wrote on Capcom's official blog. "It's such a good version and it really deserves better sales. I know it's getting pirated to hell and back (it was up on torrents literally the day it shipped)."
The executive added that he had pushed for more prolific digital distribution of Devil May Cry 4's PC incarnation, but was stonewalled by Capcom Japan. Despite the frustration, Svennson reiterated his commitment to bringing more Capcom titles to digital distribution outlets.
"For the record all CEI-developed titles will be distributed extremely widely via digital channels... I've spent the last year building up that channel," Svennson stated, noting that GRIN's downloadable side-scroller Bionic Commando Rearmed (PC, PS3, 360) would see "broad digital distribution for PC."
"I have a presentation I'm making shortly that I'm hoping will make that approach something we do with all of our PC content, even those developed in Japan, but no promises. It might not happen," he added.

Blueberry-Cheesecake Ice Cream is an awesome treat on hot and humid summer days. Get your shopping list together. This is going to be FUN!
These are the ingredients you will need:
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 1/2 cups half and half
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (Vanilla extract may be substituted)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
3 tablespoons blueberry preserves
2 teaspoons lemon zest
The first thing you will need to do is process the first 7 ingredients in a blender for 30 seconds or until very smooth. Then, cover and chill at least 2 hours or, if you prefer, up to 2 days.
When you're ready, pour the mixture into the freezer container of a 1 1/2-qt. electric ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Remember: Instructions and times may vary depending on the type of blender you have in your kitchen.
Next, you will want to mash together blueberries, blueberry preserves, and lemon zest. Then, stir the mixture into your prepared ice cream. You will need to freeze for 1 hour before serving.
Serve immediately.
You also have the option of transferring your mixture to an airtight container, and freezing it up to 1 week.
As for the cookie, Snickerdoodles, soft-baked and fresh from your bakery are best for towering ice-cream cookie sandwiches. Wrap the finished treats individually and tightly in plastic wrap, and keep them on hand in the freezer for parties or snacks.

POP Thursdays: Modern Myths, Folklore, and Tall Tales
March 15th marks the first POP Thursday of 2012 and we're shaking things up. I personally invite you to join us for an evening of modern storytelling featuring live performances by So Say We All and exclusive screenings of two short films. Yes, this is a personal invitation to you all because I have previewed the program for the evening and it is AWESOME. I wouldn't want you to miss out!
Taking a quick break from our traditional cult film format, this upcoming POP will be made up of three parts:
Italian Culture on Our Screen with the San Diego Italian Film Festival
MOPA has always been a premiere Southern California locale to interact with photography's past and present, but you may forget that the Museum is also a wonderful venue to experience diverse and rarely screened films from around the world. A huge opportunity to see cinema at its finest just kicked off this past weekend with the San Diego Italian Film Festival and we want to remind you to come to MOPA and see the moving pictures we have on display.
Working Class at MOPA
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The jury is still out on this one, but I'm pretty sure it's still tough out there for a lot of people. There's not much ten dollars can get you these days. If you're anything like me and looking for some penny pinching fun, come on down to MOPA tomorrow evening for the premiere of Working Class!

Ten Commandments of Veterinary Office Visits

I strongly concur to heed Bruce's warning. It WAS the rimadyl. I know I would still have my good Aidan, my beloved greyhound, if I hadn't been quite naive about rimadyl.
Submitted by hal | November 21 2011 | Permalink
Our old greyhound(12 yrs) was a little off, and the day we took her to the vet, she seemed better, before and after the visit.. The vet suspected something spinal, and prescribed Rimadyl. Within one day, after the second dose, she has stopped eating, drinks LOTS of water, had her first ever accident in the house, has a "drunken" walk, and is very lethargic. We are afraid we're losing her, and have stopped the Rimadyl.

A couple of years ago, a vet prescribed Rimadyl for my collie after her c-section (she was nursing 6 puppies). After the second dose, her rear was essentially paralyzed. I immediately took her off the Rimadyl and called the vet. They said it wasn't the Rimadyl, and I should bring her in so they could run tests. I said I found paraplegia as a potential side effect of Rimadyl, and since the puppies were only 24 hours old and I was sure it was the Rimadyl, I said I would wait to see if the symptoms disappeared after the Rimadyl wore off and if they didn't, I would bring her in. Twelve hours after stopping the Rimadyl, she was back to normal. I would NEVER use Rimadyl for a dog unless the only alternative was euthanasia.

Im sorry to hear of your loss but not all dogs on rimadly have the same tale. Rimadly isn't a wonder drug. It's an anti inflammatory. And rimadly is the only kind out there. There are a few other brands. Did you by chance give your dog otc meds like ibprofin or asparin? These kind of meds are ment for people, NOT PETS! If a dog is givin these meds in any amount, it can cause stomach ulcers and GI bledding. Then if you were to take your pet to the vet because its getting older, or hurt itself and needs some help chances are they will prescribe rimadly or another kind of anti inflammatory. Rimadly on top of OTC anti inflamatories can kill your pet. If you don't tell your vet what your pet has been given, then it's not her fault. Most vets will also do blood test before prescribing these type of meds especially if they are an older dog or have other problems. And don't belive everything you read on the internet. It the internet duh!!! Of course your going to find both good and bad opinions for everything.

Dogs do not projectile vomit they have to use their intercostal muscles to vomit, they do not have the strength in these muscles to expel vomit with force. Humans only projectile vomit following head injury.

My late Sheltie, Sunny, was 7 years old and had hardly been sick a day in her life. Suddenly she became deathly ill with severe vomiting and dehydration. I rushed her to the vet and found out she was in liver failure. She spent nine days in intensive care and lost 25 percent of her body weight. My vet had no idea why this perfectly healthy dog had gotten so sick, and she wasn't sure if Sunny would survive. Fortunately, the liver can regenerate itself. After being ill for a month, Sunny began to get better. She made a complete recovery and lived to be almost 14. But for about two years, the cause of her illness was a mystery to me. Then I happened to read an article about Rimadyl, and I remembered that one week before Sunny got sick, I had taken her to the vet for a limp. The vet thought it was probably a pulled muscle and had prescribed Rimadyl. I was never told about the possibility that this drug can destroy a dog's liver. Now that I know this, I tell every veterinarian that Rimadyl must NEVER be given to any of my dogs. Have them write it on your dog's chart as an allergy, even if you don't know whether your dog is sensitive to Rimadyl. This drug is so deadly, even just a couple of doses can kill. Don't risk it!

My nine year old lab mix has been on Rimadyl for over three years now. I only give it to her if she is experiencing pain from being over active. I read up on this drug before ever giving it to her. It keeps her mobile and active when otherwise she is in pain. The option was surgery which wasn't an option as she won't die from a sore hip! I give it sparingly and with concern and watch her closely. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Bruce, I am so sorry for what you and Tiger went through.....and shame on the vet. Just know your dog knew you loved her....you did all that you could do. Again, I am so sorry this happened to you. Your story teaches all of us that we really need to look stuff up on the internet and education ourselves because vets and doctors are not always forthright or educated themselves and they even ignore stuff that they don't want to believe. I wish the best and I hope you can bring yourself to being a good mom to another wonderful pet. God Bless.

i just found a puppy and kept her but i dont have a job how do i give her her shots that she needs?
Submitted by Anonymous | July 23 2011 | Permalink
If you don't have a job you can't afford to keep the puppy. Consider fostering him or her until you can find him or her a good home.
If you insist on keeping the puppy, you can get basic shots pretty cheap at some of the larger pet store chains. Or, you might want to call a local animal shelter to ask for assistance.
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary has a forum board where you can post questions. You can also call them and ask them for the names of good sources for free or cheap assistance.
Thank you for helping this puppy.

Bruce, one question: How on earth was your veterinarian able to send you home with a barbiturate overdose? Are you aware that it was illegal for you to have such a drug in your possession?

Regarding staff: there is another vet at my vet clinic whom I dislike and refuse to have my dogs attended to by her. I had never met this vet prior to seeing her with my dog when my regular vet was not in. This vet was rough with my 8.5 male ShihTzu who had an eye infection. I told her that I didn't think she needed to be so rough with this very sweet dog who was scared.
My remarks to this vet upset her and she left the room and said I could come back when my regular vet was back. My reg vet was in China on vac for 2 weeks! I ended up having to take my dog to another vet clinic.

There are different foundations out there who can help you. Do a Google search.
Secondly, establish a 'chip in' account. This is an independent site that will take Pay Pal and credit card donations from friends, family, and strangers who will help you.
Get the word out! Use social media to talk about your cause and don't be shy about asking for help. Use Facebook, My Space, Twitter, etc. to get the word out, and mention your chip in account link.
If you need help, there is a lady in Canada, two of her three dogs have serious cancer issues and she has a Facebook page called "help save Zen". She cannot help you monetarily, but I'm sure she would help you with information and hints to make your dog's surgery successful.
I know what you're going through.....my dog just had $7k worth of specialty vet care for cancer. Happily, there's now no sign of disease.
Please follow up and let us how your fur kid is doing. I'm on Facebook if you need to talk to anyone.

We have our dog on rimadyl. We are aware of the risks. But that is the last thing we can do for her. She has hip dysplasia, subluxation petella,arthris, and now cushings disease. The rimadyl helps her. Her liver is failing, we have her tested every 6 months. But she is still somewhat active for a 9 year old lab. We had her on aspirin for awhile until she was being dosed too much for pain. We give her one rimadyl a day. Surgery isnt an option due to cost and we chose to do no steriods or opiates. We know we will eventually lose our girl. But we are doing everything we can. We have dealth with this since she was 4 years old. Not all dogs get ill and die soon after given rimadyl.

Much money they can make off of you in your time of sorrow! Sad but true.
Submitted by Jennifer | May 18 2014 | Permalink
I have to emphatically disagree. I have had exceptionally caring, intelligent, empathic vets and I've had vets who were condescending, rushed, too rough with my companion dogs, and dismissive of me. On the occasion when I don't like the treatment of the vet I've hired, I either end the visit immediately or don't go back (always letting him or her know why I won't be returning). If I need to find a new vet, I always make an appointment so I can meet the vet, ask basic questions, evaluate the cleanliness of the waiting room, exam room, restroom, etc., and see how friendly and accessible the staff is before bringing my dogs in. If I'm not comfortable during this initial meeting I continue to look until I'm find a good fit. It's so important to find a good match before you're facing an emergency. The excellent vets I've had have far out-weighed the bad ones. Four years ago I had to have my 15 1/2-year-old yellow lab, Tara, euthanized and last month, Nikka, my 17-year-old husky needed to be euthanized. They had excellent care from their vet for years and when it came time to make the saddest decisions of my life, the vet helped me with great sensitivity, giving me the information I needed, yet knowing it was my decision. Both Tara and Nikka died peacefully in my arms, and although I know it was very sad for the vet, she was not intrusive, leaving the house quietly. I was not charged for the house calls, even though in Nikka's case the vet was on vacation and made a special trip. It's important to remember that a good working relationship needs time to develop between the vet and your companion animal as well as with you. It's sad that you have not been able to find a vet who you feel cares about animals, but please do not brush them all with the same broad brush. Over-generalizations are rarely helpful. Good luck to you and your animals.

text: Throughout the Bible we read exhortations of the importance of 'being ready' for action. Man is always in preparation stages. Moses and Joshua are good examples to study. God took 80 years to groom Moses for his monumental assignment. When Moses accomplished his purpose, the mantle was passed on to Joshua. He was well-prepared. The underlying message is this: when God has a job/assignment for us, He will provide the proper preparation. Our responsibility is to be willing and be ready.

Wyndmere Naturals Remedies Head Lice B'Gone - 1 oz. (30ml)
Wyndmere Naturals Remedies Head Lice B'Gone, nature's way of helping us cope with everyday issues. Wyndmere Naturals Remedies Head Lice B'Gone is an all natural blend of specially selected essential oils to help with head lice issues. Wyndmere Naturals Remedies Head Lice B'Gone is ready to apply directly to your scalp and hair.
The Art of Blending: Synergy for Your Health
Each essential oil possesses unique properties which when blended with other complementary oils can have an enhanced effect. Using Wyndmere's therapeutic pure essential oils, you can create a personal fragrance to help improve the quality of your day and positively influence your mood and emotions. Blending is a very personal and creative process that is more art than science. First, determine your intention for the blend such as perfume or massage, body care or cosmetic. Start with a few basic oils like Lavender, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang or Sandalwood.
Take your time getting to know the oils, how they might smell to you in the morning versus the evening, and learn more about how they may affect your physical or emotional health. Mix and match the oils based on their properties and the result you desire, adding a drop at a time. Make certain you keep account of the amount used for each oil in the event you want to duplicate your creation. Let the final concentration set for as long as possible before adding to a carrier oil or lotion as it will become richer with time. Store away from heat and light (best kept in a dark glass bottle).
Not ready to try blending oils yourself? Experience one of Wyndmere's Synergistic Blends. After spending many hours researching the different medicinal, aromatic, and harmonious properties of Wyndmere oils, Wyndmere Naturals developed a wonderful line of synergistic essences to be used directly in diffusers or baths, or added to carrier oils and lotions for topical application. For example, blends such as Anxiety Release, Relaxing and Stress Relief help you cope with the stress and tension of your fast-paced life. To release negative emotions and find inner peace try Serenity, Patience, Peaceful Mind or Forest Retreat. To help find emotional balance try Balancing, Believe, Comforting Cheer or Emotional Rescue. To enhance and refresh your home environment diffuse Refreshing, Household Purifier, Bacteria Fighter or Citrus Delight in the air or add them to household cleaners.
About Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that uses pure essential oils to positively influence the mind and body and to enhance emotional and physical well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from the aromatic part of the plant. They are wholly natural molecular substances which when diffused in the air are transmitted to the part of the brain that controls memory and emotional response. When used topically they are highly effective due to their ability to help stimulate the body's natural ability to heal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that uses essential oils to improve one's health and psychological well-being. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from the aromatic parts of herbs, flowers, trees and grasses. Valued for thousands of years, they are totally natural substances that have the ability to positively influence the mind and body.
How are essential oils used?
Because essential oils are highly concentrated, they need to be used with care. Apply them by the drop. The general rule is to dilute them before using topically. They may be diluted in carrier oils, lotions and hair care products, added to a bath, diffused in the air using an aroma lamp or diffuser, or added to water in a spray bottle. Select essential oils with similar properties and blend together to create your own unique aromas.
How long do they last?
Most essential oils will last approximately one to two years or more if properly stored. To preserve your oils, always store them in a tight container in a cool place. Heat will cause the oils to evaporate and the light will alter them chemically, reducing their effectiveness. Citrus oils are an exception; they will start to oxidize after a year. They can be preserved longer with refrigeration or adding vitamin E. There are some oils, such as Patchouli, Vetiver and Sandalwood, that only get better with age.
What is steam distillation?
Steam distillation is the most common way to extract an essential oil. The plant material is placed in the chamber of a still and subjected to concentrated steam; the steam passes through the aromatic capsules of the plant, causing them to release the essential oil. The aromatic steam now carrying the essential oil droplets then passes through a tube surrounded by cold water which causes the steam to condense back to water. Because of a difference in weight, the essential oil and distilled water separate and the oil is siphoned off. The water is collected after this process is referred to as a hydrosol or floral water. The quality of the final products are dependent on the quality of the plant material and the distillation equipment used as well as the skill of the person distilling.
What is cold pressed?
Typically employed on citruses, the essential oil is mechanically pressed out of the rind of the fruit. This method is also known as "expression."
What is an absolute?
The exquisite fragrance of some flowers is spoiled by heat using steam distillation, therefore, other means of extraction are used. An absolute is one of those means and is obtained by immersing the flowers in a solvent (usually hexane) which produces a waxy substance known as a concrete. The solvent is then removed from the concrete resulting in a thick oil known as an absolute which contains the essential oil properties from the flowers.
Can I use essential oils internally?
No. Wyndmere Naturals never recommends internal use of essential oils. Essential oils are very concentrated and, therefore, can be potentially toxic if taken internally. Also, ingesting oil is very dangerous because some of the oils are skin and mucous membrane irritants. Wyndmere's oils are considered therapeutic and research indicates the concentrated nature of pure oils is more effective when used in a room diffuser or applied topically after diluting 1%-3% in a carrier oil.
Can I use essential oils if I'm pregnant?
Yes, however you should do so with caution. It is suggested avoiding the use of essential oils during the first trimester, and then use only a 1% dilution (or less) for the duration of the pregnancy. Oils that are suggested as safe are Geranium, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Neroli, Tangerine and Ylang Ylang.
Are essential oils safe to use on children or the elderly?
Yes, but it is suggested that no more than 1% dilution be used due to children and elderly sensitivities. Examples of oils which are safe to use on children are Chamomile Roman, Lavender, Myrtle, Neroli, Petitgrain and Rose. They can be diffused into a child's bedroom, added to the bath, or combined with a carrier oil or unscented lotion and massaged very gently into the skin.

Quality Assurance
The therapeutic quality of an essential oil is affected by many factors. The quality of the plant material is extremely important. Plants that are indigenous to an area are generally of higher quality than those commercially grown elsewhere. The weather and environmental growing conditions affect the quality of the harvest. Oil quality even varies within a growing season if there are multiple harvest times. The elevation at which the plants are grown can affect quality and yield, for example when growing lavender. How and when the plant is harvested and how long it sits before being distilled are also critical factors. For example, the essential oil from Melissa officinalis is lost if the plant sits more than a few hours.
Quality begins with the plant itself. Plants that are thriving in their native habitat, harvested under the proper conditions and extracted by talented and capable distillers will produce the highest quality essential oil. Wherever possible, Wyndmere purchases essential oils extracted from plants that are indigenous and either grown organically, ethically wildcrafted or pesticide free. The company imports oils that are specifically used in hospitals, hospices and by aromatherapists. The oils have been consistently purchased from the same growers since the company's inception. The oils are purchased frequently to ensure freshness and bottled in small batches so they don't sit in a warehouse for long periods of time before being shipped to you. The product labels are informative and include the common name, botanical name and the country of origin. Wyndmere believes customers should know everything about the essential oils they are using for their health and well-being. Wyndmere does not test any of its products on animals, nor do the products contain any animal ingredients.
In addition to the health and vigor of the plant, the talent and capability of the distiller is also an important ingredient in essential oil production. In fact, it is probably more important than the quality of the equipment. The role of the distiller is to extract the oil in a manner which keeps it as close to the chemical composition of the plant as possible. Some brilliant oils can be obtained from some of the most basic equipment if the plant material is excellent and the operator conscientious.
Wyndmere is a green company; they recycle and reuse wherever possible.

I wasn't raised by parents who pushed the idea, but they didn't oppose it, either. I was always given the liberty to make my own path in life. I was well-rounded by the dynamics in my family, and securely cared for both financially and emotionally. I can't say I was overcompensating for anything I lacked.
It was along my journey through college that I realized I wasn't always financially compensated for the work I truly liked to do.
As any good Samaritan knows, giving charity to others is often a job that is rewarded only by a windfall of good feelings, and certainly not financial gain. As I matured and grew, I realized that I will never be rich in money, as long as I keep tugging toward that social-service career platform.
It was at the dreadful end of college that I had to make some of these decisions: Do I go out to corporate America and seek financial security, or do I follow my dream and save the world?
In a cloud I lovingly refer to as my 20s, I dabbled in multiple career paths. Some were more financially stable, and others involved my passion of working with children and their families.
Once my 30s hit, everything changed. My priorities shifted, and life started to become more serious for me.
I became passionate about going out of the country to serve and teach families English as a second language. Next thing I knew, I was teaching in a border town in Mexico. That was when my life changed significantly.
During the course of my time in Mexico, I learned how absolutely crippled the country is at protecting children and families. Many times, I knew of abuse, but there was no one to report it to, because a good deal of the country's culture is trained to think of it as a private domestic issue.
I vowed that when I returned home, I would work tirelessly so that no child or woman would ever be neglected or bypassed because of family situation.
My identity began to shape itself around my own desires to change the world. I wanted to feel needed and to feel that I had a place. I wanted to feel as if I can make a difference. I know my motives are selfish, but the good far exceeds the bad.
I am no saint in this life, but I am sure that when I volunteer, it is because I want to live in a community where we all thrive and prosper. I look around and I see so many people suffering in extraordinary circumstances.
Volunteer work creates social networks among people, who are then able to support one another through difficult times.
When I reach out and talk to people in need, I realize that we are all one decision away from being homeless or severely damaged. I am grateful that I am able to help someone who needs a hand up, so I do it.
The bottom line is — if you can help someone, do it. Don't let the world pass you by, knowing you can make a difference.
I'm not afraid to admit that I love being one of those people who doesn't sit by and let things happen. I want to be part of the action.
My volunteer work is who I have created myself to be. It will be my legacy when I am gone.

This weekend in wide release we have Enders Game, Free Birds and Last Vegas.
Enders Game has big names and a lot of hype, but the reviews haven't been all roses I'm a big fan of Ben Kingsley and Viola Davis. I've cooled on Harrison Ford over the years and after I saw 42, I almost turned to ice. He was very cartoonish in that one.
Free Birds is an animated buddy comedy about turkeys.
Last Vegas is another buddy comedy with some of the biggest actors in the biz. They will all try to tell you that this isn't the Hangover for senior citizens, but lets keep it real, it 100% is.
Here are some of the limited release films this weekend:

When you need the perfect right hand ring, you'll find it at EvesAddiction.com!
What is a right hand ring? The simplest answer is as straightforward as the name: a ring worn on a woman's right hand. But, a right hand ring can be so much more! A stunning right hand ring can be a symbol of not only fashion savvy, but of a woman's pride, her freedom, and her independence! Engagement rings and wedding rings have become a beautiful tradition and part of today's society, but they are a symbol of commitment, they can symbolize dependency and restriction. A silver right hand ring is a way for a woman to show the world that she doesn't need a man to be able to enjoy herself, and make her way through the world.
Right hand rings are meant to be fun and flirty - they're bigger and bolder than their left-handed counterpart. The addition of this right hand style ring to society gave unmarried women the chance to wear some beautiful rings without a beau. In today's fashion forward world, married women are also wearing right hand rings, as a symbol of pride and personality. Women wear bold anniversary rings proudly on their right hands, to show their satisfaction in how long their relationship has lasted. Married women also wear right hand rings to continue the show of their individuality and personality.
Right hand rings are such a style staple today that you can find a ring in just about any style, for just about any price. Silver right hand rings are a great selection for any woman, because they are affordable, beautiful, and bold. A silver right hand ring can be as bold, or as subdued as you'd like - and for the price, you can have a whole collection and change your rings every day!
Today, high profile women take pride in their ability to support themselves, and love sporting some serious right hand bling. Stars such as Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Victoria Beckham, and Jessica Alba can be seen sporting right hand rings on the red carpet, or in every day life. Whether you're looking for a celebrity style right hand ring, or a designer style right hand ring, we have a wide range to choose from!
Right hand rings and cocktail rings have become almost synonymous in today's fashion centered world. Whether you're looking for a big, bold silver right hand ring, or a single stone cocktail ring, we have the silver ring you're looking for. From a big, bold silver black pave Black Rose Pave CZ Cocktail Ring, to a Designer Inspired Diamond CZ Cushion Cut Cocktail Ring, we have a selection you won't be able to resist. A right hand ring will tend to be a little more complex, and a tad less flashy than a cocktail ring - but both a silver right hand ring and a silver cocktail ring will add such a beautiful sparkle to your outfit that you'll be the center of attention! A silver and cz right hand ring adds a flare to any outfit that will help you feel bolder, and more able to conquer the world!

text: My girls are driving me bonkers with their behavior but something that is absolutely making me want to rip my hair out is Kenedee's tendency to say No is such a hatefull sassy way when she is in trouble and/or fitting. It's like she makes the word no a two syllable word. She will stomp her feet and say No-wa. I of course can't actually say it on here but spelling no that way is my best way of describing it. She is at a massive fitting/sassy stage right now. Suggestions?

Summer 2014
Our first batch of Open Air festivals in Germany was a great success - despite the weather! We had a fab time with the Old Blind Dogs at the legendary f60 Celtic festival, and a brilliant reunion with Flook after our last gig together in 2006 at La Nuit Celte in Caussade, France. It was in fact so good to see the Flook boys and gal again, that we decided on the spot (well in the hotel bar, after a very rainy and very enthusiastic encore of Flook- and Cara-Sets with the big band) to do more double bill gigs. We'll keep you posted.
In July we finally played an Open Air festival where it didn't rain. But it wasn't just good weather, no it was the hottest day of the year so far with 36°C and we were grilled alive on stage. But our audience, a very dedicated dancing bunch of 350 happy people who came especially to see us, made us forget about that and we enjoyed ourselves a lot! Oh and we had the first ever hen party at a Cara gig!
Now our next destination this summer will be Dublin, Ohio! We are incredibly looking forward to this festival, which has been described by many of our musician friends as one of the best festivals on the planet. Bring it on!! And some of our musical heroes and heroines will be there too, to make it an unforgettable weekend.
We are excited to announce that in Dublin Cormac Byrne (Uiscedwr, Seth Lakeman Band) is going to add his bodhrán and percussion to our sound. Cormac will replace Rolf who understandably decided to stay home just a couple of days before the birth of his first child!
Check out the website: http://dublinirishfestival.org/
After Dublin, we'll all take a well deserved rest and chill out for a while, until we hit the road again in September and October, with some more exciting destinations! In the meanwhile enjoy the summer. It's always over so quickly. If you miss us too much, then just put 'Horizon' into the CD player. :)
All the best from all the Caras.
CD 'Horizon' available!
Our new album has arrived! 13 new tracks, eight of which are completely self-penned, plus 2 tune-sets where we use our own tunes together with traditionals or other contemporary compositions, one poem by Robert Burns, set to new music, a traditional Scottish ballad and a cover version of Mick Ryan's "The Widow's Promise" as bonus track! Carefully arranged as always, and recorded with a lot of creativity and good vibes, thanks as well to our newest band member Kim Edgar on piano and vocals. We had fun recording this!
The CD (also as a download including the full booklet) is available over here in the shop!

My DD is scheduled for an allergy scratch test next week. Maybe even blood tests, I won't know that until we're there and talk to the dr. I need some BTDT info. Please

My DD is scheduled for an allergy scratch test next week. Maybe even blood tests, I won't know that until we're there and talk to the dr. I need some BTDT info. Please
(I'm nervous.... )
No experience but big hugs to you and Emme.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
My older dd had allergy testing done (pinprick style, similar to the scratch I think) when she was just a little older than E. They did it on her back so they would have plenty of room and so she couldn't see what they were doing (made it less scary for her). It did sting a bit and she didn't like it too much, but she was brave and I'm sure E will be too. It was over pretty quickly and it was good to know what her allergens were. We had to go back to have the tests read, but as I recall they could pretty much tell right away what caused reactions.
Good luck!
We go Feb 1st. I'm nervous too. I posted a thread looking for experiences after we had our consult last week. Everybody said it went smoothly. I'm planning to bring a laptop w/ a video to keep him entertained in case they don't have tv. My ped said the scratch test is more accurate than the blood draw so that's all that we are doing. Our insurance only pays for the b/w but we are going to pay out of pocket so we get the more accurate results. Good luck.
We did the pinprick test on her back when she was 2. I explained what was going to happen and she sat on my lap and could hug me while she got poked. it wasn't until the last few that she started to cry, but just a little. Then she was saying her back was itchy (where she was allergic). It was over very fast and not traumatic at all.
Good luck
Piper was about 18 months and we had no issues. They put her in a halter top and had hem hold her with her back facing out. It was quick. The part she didn't like was the itching. I wish we would have brought more with us to keep her distracted! They actually did her blood first then the skin.
Mommy to Piper 6/5/09 and an 11/2011
Make a pregnancy ticker
My DS was 2.5 years old when he had it done. He didn't like them pushing on his back but he didn't cry. He just told them to stop it. LOL.
Like others said, he got bored waiting. They didn't have enough stuff in the room to keep him occupied and my phone (for once) was not entertaining him enough. He did want to scratch the one area that he was having an allergic reaction but I just tried to keep him busy so he wouldn't think about it.
Our doctor had two squares that had 8 pricks on each one. They press them on the back (1 press for each square) and that is it. Then you wait for 15 minutes. They will come in at different times to check on you and make sure everything is ok. At the end of the 15 minutes, they will put a ruler against the dots on the back that had an allergic reaction to measure it.
My big advice is to take plenty of stuff with you that will keep them busy so they don't get bored waiting.

DD has this at 11 months old. It's easy. She was slightly uncomfortable, but it was totally worth the slight discomfort for her to figure out some of her allergies. It was pretty much identical to my allergies. We did environmental, not food (we were able to chose) at the time, I was just worried about what she was being exposed to in the air because of breathing issues. She tends to eat a more vegetarian/no wheat diet anyway, so I'm not concerned about this. She's mostly a raw vegetable diet, drinks some milk and fish 1-2 times a week... and this has been working best for her.
Elliott was 5-6 months old I think. It wasn't too bad. It does really itch for them though. Elliott ended up falling asleep on my lap.
Our Family <3 Est. July 2007 <3
Samuel (5 years), Elliott (3 years), and Evelyn (1 year).
Thank you so much for the feedback!! It is comforting to know it's not as bad as I was imagining. She's a very reactive kid and I was picturing 20 minutes of pokes and scratches while she screamed the whole time. She is like me though and hates to be contained, so having to lay down or sit in my lap might be her undoing.
Now I'm starting to think we may have to reschedule her tests anyway. She's still broken out in hives from the antibiotic reaction. Day 7 of hives. She only had 2 doses of it. She's not supposed to have benadryl after today (3 days before the test).
She's been complaining now for the last 3 days that her eyes are bothering her, she wipes them constantly and touches her eyelashes a lot. I don't know if this is a new tic, or if it's part of the allergic reaction. She also asks me 10 times a day if I see anything in her throat. I worry she has hives in her throat(?) or her throat is swollen.
poor Em! I hope that she gets some relief soon. I did want to mention something that I learned from when Matthew had the tests done. The child may or may not react to a food on the skin test that he/she would react to if they ingested that food. I don't remember exactly why now, but the doctor said it had something to do with when they ingest the food and how it reacts w/the body vs on the skin. (I specifically asked the allergist b/c Matthew did not show any reaction to gluten when we know in fact that he does react to gluten if he ingests it).
That's really interesting because I had 2 different people tell me at Emme's party yesterday that they thought her hives actually resembled a gluten rash. I can't say that's true from what I've seen online.... it is raised and moves like hives, but it was strange that 2 different people said it.
Is the blood test for gluten allergy reliable as long as the person hasn't been avoiding gluten?
Skin tests can detect very strong allergies such as peanut/tree nuts; blood test is more reliable in detecting food allergies. However, diet elimination is the most sure way of telling. My very good friend is gluten sensitive and went to our pediatric allergist for her older son. She suspects he is gluten intolerant. Anyway, she was told that even a blood test can come negative regardless of whether they gave him or not gluten. So the best way is diet elimination. He is now going on GF diet. I think they are on week 2.
Do you have any gluten sensitive people on either side of the family? It does not have to be hereditary but often is.
My mom suspects she is gluten sensitive/intolerant because she has several symptoms. Her recent blood test came back normal. She still avoids gluten for the most part.
My DH's cousin (who was here yesterday, she was one of the people who commented Emme's rash looked gluten related) said she tested gluten intolerant via applied kinesiology. Her blood test also came back normal. But- she's allergic to abx as well. I told DH I *knew* Emme's allergies were all his fault (from his side of the family)
I already do a lot of baking/cooking gluten free, initially because of my mom (who lives with us), but then I also realized that *I* feel better when I'm not consuming as much gluten. I wouldn't say I have symptoms of an allergy, just that my guts are calmer at the end of the day (if that makes sense) and I have more energy if I've avoided or had minimal gluten.

"There's a life rhythm within Cable," David Yurman says about the unifying element that runs through everything he creates. "Any place we use it, it's about bringing a certain life to the form." It started with the celebrated bracelet, and found its way into earrings, necklaces, and more. Sometimes, you'll find Cable in surprising places—the inside of a ring, the back of a pendant—where only you can see it.
David Yurman's love of horses inspired him to create a collection based on the buckle motif. When kissed with gold or pavé diamonds and paired with his signature Cable design, the functional form becomes a wearable work of art.
