An Interview with Faith of An Edible Mosaic
Favorite Female Food Bloggers February 8, 2013 4
Over the last few months I've shared several posts about the cookbook An Edible Mosaic. What really drew me to this project (and the cookbook) was how similar Faith's story was to my own. I don't know all the details of her relationship but there are plenty of parallels. We both met and married Middle Eastern men, learning to cook the cuisine they grew up with. We've both spent time in our husband's countries and navigated the hurdles that go with cross-cultural relationships. To wrap up this project I decided to interview Faith to find out more about her journey with Middle Eastern food.
What was the first Middle Eastern/Syrian dish you learned to make?
Fried Kibbeh. My mother-in-law loves to tell the story of when she first showed me how to make this dish…she and I were working in the living room at a coffee table as we shaped the kibbeh, relaxed and chatting happily as best we could – remember, she speaks Arabic and I speak English, and although we both know a little of the other's language, it is often times a challenge, but surprisingly we understand each other more than you might think! She formed one perfect torpedo-shaped kibbeh and after I saw her shape the first one, I joined right in. Of course my kibbeh wasn't nearly as perfect looking as hers, but I soon improved and she said I was able to make kibbeh after seeing it made only once, which is something no one else that she has taught has been able to do. Here's how she describes it: "I've tried to teach many Arabic women how to make Kibbeh Mekliyeh; it takes several times before they can do it, and some never even master it. Faith saw me make it once and the next time she made it herself. As we say in Arabic, laha nefus ala el ekel (literally meaning, she has breath that is good for food, which means she has a deep passion for cooking)."
It was an incredible feeling that night when we sat down to dinner and my mother-in-law pointed out to the family the kibbeh that I had made.
Why was it important to you to learn to make the foods of your husband's country?
Wanting to make my hubby happy and to show him that it was important to me to be accepted into his family and culture played a huge role in my desire to learn to cook Middle Eastern food. Also, my hubby (Mike) is quite a picky eater in general (even when it comes to Middle Eastern foods), and I wanted to make sure that I'd be able to cook his favorite dishes outside of the Middle East when I didn't have his mom there to guide me. Mike often talks about how growing up his mom would make one dish for the entire family and a separate dish just for him because of how picky he was. Once I started learning how to make Mike's favorite dishes and eventually mastered them, he starting telling me all the time how he doesn't have to miss his mom's cooking because mine is every bit as good. Of course I give his mom the credit for this – she is the one who taught me, after all!
What kind of feedback did you get from his family and/or other people in the Syrian community about your cooking "their" food?
Syrians are an amazing group of people. They are warm, hospitable, funny, laid-back, caring, fiercely patriotic, proud of their culture, and humble all at the same time. Every time I've ever gone to Syria I've been impressed by this again and again. The Syrian people have been so genuinely kind to me, and have always shown great interest in me as a person, as well as in life in the U.S. and how it compares with life in Syria; no detail is spared in our conversations of culture. My authentic passion for their country, people, culture, and cuisine was a source of pride for them; they truly appreciated it and in turn reached out to me even more. Every question I asked about anything Syrian (food or not) was met with warm hospitality.
When I was learning to cook Syrian food they treated me as one of them, allowing me to work right alongside them, learning as I went and congratulating me on even the smallest of accomplishments. They were incredibly proud of the interest I took in their cuisine.
I'm a big believer in food diplomacy – that if you can get people to eat another person's food it goes a long way to opening doors of conversation and understanding. Have you experienced this? Can you tell us about a situation where this happened?
During my time spent in the Middle East I wanted to show my in-laws that I was open to and accepting of their culture. I tried to keep an open mind about everything, especially food, since it's something that's such a huge part of their culture and they take great pride in it. This went a long way into helping me develop a wonderful relationship with my husband's family. Every time I tried a new dish or found a new favorite, it made them immensely happy. Ironically, by the time Mike and I left the Middle East, I was eating a larger variety of Middle Eastern foods than he was since he's such a picky eater (for example, he won't touch eggplant but some of my favorite dishes are eggplant-based), and his mom would make certain dishes especially for me.
What is your favorite Syrian food?
Fried Eggplant with Garlic and Parsley Dressing, not only because it is incredibly delicious and a perfect example of Syrian cuisine its simplicity, but also because of the story around it.
A few years ago I was in Zabadani, a rural area north of Damascus in Syria. My husband and I were staying with his family in their country home for a few days, and another family had come to visit. Of course a feast was in order.
My mother-in-law and the other ladies were busy all day making a variety of many different dishes. Out of all the foods served that day, a very simple fried eggplant dish with garlic and parsley dressing was by far my favorite. I had tasted eggplant before, but this was the dish that made me fall in love with it, and it was at that moment when my mother-in-law realized that my husband and I truly were perfect for each other. You see, my hubby hates eggplant in any form and my mother-in-law has always hoped he'd marry someone who loves it!
As I sat there ignoring almost every other dish on the table and gushing about this simple eggplant dish, Sahar sat there beaming. Reliving that memory in my mind every time I eat this dish is what makes it so meaningful for me.
What's your least favorite? (I won't touch organs!)
I actually can't think of something I don't like! Surprisingly, even the few dishes that I didn't like at first have now become favorites and are regularly made in my kitchen. I think the only reason I didn't like them to begin with is because I didn't grow up eating them…and some dishes come as quite a surprise the first time around! For example, Jute Mallow Soup, which has a slimy texture and earthy flavor that is brightened with garlic and lemon. Also, when I first tried Yogurt Soup its tangy flavor wasn't a favorite of mine, but I have grown so accustomed to it that I now crave it if I go for a long time without having it.
Anything else you'd like to share?
I want to encourage people not to be intimidated just because a recipe, ingredient, or cooking method might be unfamiliar. For example, take my chicken shawarma recipe. I marinate chicken in a blend of seasonings and yogurt, and utilize a two-step cooking method that yields incredibly moist, flavorful chicken. I had an American cook tell me she was leery to use yogurt as a marinade for chicken, saying it sounded "weird" to her. (What she really meant was that she had never done it before and so she had no idea what to expect.) She ended up making the dish and not only has it become a favorite for her and her family, but it has also become a regular dinnertime staple. If you keep an open mind, you never know what new favorite you might discover.
Thank you so much Faith!
I've said it before but I'll say it again, An Edible Mosaic is a great cookbook for anyone who wants to cook Middle Eastern food. I found the recipes to be very authentic, and easy to follow. If you're intimidated to try making this kind of food, this book will put you at ease. I enjoyed making several of these recipes that are not common in Morocco or found on the menu in Middle Eastern restaurants. Make sure you connect with Faith on her website, Facebook and Twitter to find many more recipes!

FFFB: Sasha of Global Table Adventure
Favorite Female Food Bloggers February 17, 2012 1
Over a year ago I stumbled across Global Table Adventure and was intrigued by the concept. Essentially this blogger was eating around the world. She started at A and each week cooked food from a different country. To be honest, I started following because I wanted to know how long it would be before she gave up (when I found her site she had been going strong for awhile). It felt like there were so many great blogs dropping off at that time and while I thoroughly enjoyed Global Table Adventure I kept thinking, "gosh I don't want to like this too much because it will probably disappear." Good news – it's still here! Sasha does a great job bringing dishes from around the world to life and documenting her families experience eating.
Each day of the week has a theme, Monday – meal reviews from the previous week, Tuesday – travel day an intro to the new country, Wednesday – Menu for the week, Thursday – Technique, Friday – Fun. What might be even more fun is the videos' Sasha posts on YouTube of her daughter testing out foods. She's so cute! (Like this video from eating El Salvador – PS Sasha we are coffee table twins!) You really have to watch the videos – I think they are a great addition! . What I love about this blog the most is that by the time Ava (Sasha's daughter) is 5 she will have eaten at least one meal from every country in the world AND she'll have a fantastic document of her childhood!
Please meet Sasha (and Ava too!)
Tell me a little bit about your blog and what you write about.
Hello! I'm on a mission to celebrate our diverse and beautiful planet by cooking one meal for every country in the world – 195 Countries, 195 Meals, 195 Weeks. I like to say I'm hungry for peace. Each week I share all the recipes, tidbits about the countries, as well as reviews – including a video of my young daughter sampling the food – at GlobalTableAdventure.com. I like to share the good, the fun, and the downright silly. We're now just past the halfway mark.
I decided to work alphabetically for two reasons. First, I didn't want to show preference to any particular nation over another. It makes that little country you've never heard of just as important as the countries everyone knows. Second, it keeps the continents nicely shuffled, so that there is a good variety to the site over the course of the entire 195 weeks (nearly four years). If new countries are added during this project, I will include them in the Adventure.
On average I make 3-4 dishes per country. Sometimes I combine two countries in a week (this is a safeguard to build in vacation or sick time). When I combine countries I make less dishes per country – usually 2-3. The menus are sampler-style, meaning the dishes are representative of the flavors of that country, but not necessarily a cohesive collection meant to be eaten in one sitting. Sometimes a dish will actually be a spice blend or seasoning paste. For example, when I cooked Fiji, a nation dominated by Indian cuisine – a side effect of colonization, I put homemade curry powder on the menu.
Why did you start blogging?
Several things came together at once – I needed a creative outlet, my daughter was just starting out on solids, and I was thinking about all the negative things happening around the world. At the most basic – I wanted better for myself, my family, and the world.
For myself: I wanted a creative outlet that would help me out of my cooking rut. After moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma – after a lifetime of travel – I missed the food I grew up with – trying new dishes, new flavors. I am more landlocked in the Midwest than I've ever been before. Global Table Adventure has been a great way to continue learning and growing, while also being fortunate enough to stay home with my daughter.
For my family: I wanted to find a way to get my impossibly picky husband to eat better, especially since we had a daughter about to start solids. Children mimic parents and I find that dinner can be a a big struggle if one parent refuses to try certain foods. I also wanted my daughter to learn to appreciate other cultures, other ways. By growing up with one meal from every country in the world, her mind will naturally be curious and open.
For the world: The news would have you believe that there is nothing but war, poverty, and tragedy in the world. With so much focus on the negative, people tend to feel divided by their differences, instead of united by their similarities. I believe that Global Table Adventure's uplifting focus on the food and culture of countries around the world will help people appreciate and come together over our common humanity. This is why I am dedicated to only sharing positive stories; there's enough people focusing on the negative.
What is your earliest memory in the kitchen?
My mom used to give me pieces of her pie dough to make my own creations. There were no restrictions – I could put anything in my little pies …. spices from the cupboards, leftovers from the refrigerator, and whatever I could rummage up in the pantry. I loved, loved, loved the creativity. Of course, many times I went too far and my treats were inedible (apples, raisins, cereal and cayenne pepper, anyone?). Still, the bug to "create" with no fear of the outcome (or being "wrong") took firm root in those early escapades.
Who or what influences you in the kitchen today?
Well, I suppose I could put some fancy answer about a celebrity chef or a movie, but here's the truth… I can't cook in a messy kitchen. I just can't do it. My heart starts beating too fast and my skin begins to crawl. Part of the problem is that I have a small kitchen. My mom is the neatest person I know and, so, I channel her organizational skills at least once a day. Turns out I'm rather particular. For example, I don't use round spice jars because they twist and turn, making it hard to find what I'm looking for – I use French Square spice jars instead. They stay put and the labels are always facing the right direction. Considering I have two entire drawers full of spices (one for grinds and one for whole spices), I can't imagine what kind of mess I'd have otherwise. I must be doing something right because this last year I've received several comments on how much "neat stuff" I manage to tuck away inside my tiny kitchen. And I don't mean gadgets – an item doesn't make it past my door unless they serve more than one purpose. I don't even have a microwave or a toaster (the stovetop and broiler work just fine and save me half my counter space).
Everyone has a favorite recipe that we just can't re-create the same way as our mom, grandma etc. Which recipe is this for you?
Probably my mom's torta de riso – or rice cakes. She made them with fried onion, pork fat, fresh herbs, plenty of eggs, cheese, and day-old rice. There isn't an exact recipe – she just throws it together and bakes until golden and slices in squares. I would eat this until my belly button popped out, if I could. Anyway, for some reason I just can't get it to be as epic as her versions.
Which of your recipes is your favorite?
That's like trying to pick a favorite child… impossible. I do have a section devoted to several favorites, however… (find them here!)
What was your least successful recipe attempt?
I have had a longstanding battle with yucca (aka cassava and manioc). Nearly any recipe I've tried with yucca – from any part of the world – has failed. I had to cook almost half the world before I finally got one of those recipes right. The recipe that finally worked? Cassava Fries. Yum.
Which kitchen tool couldn't you live without?
I'm starting to think it's my Middle Eastern coffee pot. Because I don't have a microwave, I use it for everything… melting butter, reheating sauces, frothing hot milk, and so forth. It almost never makes it back in the cabinet, that's how much I use it. I much prefer it to lugging out one of my heavy pots -even the smallest one is too big for these little jobs.
Last meal. What would yours be?
Today I'd go for ravioli, two cannoli, and a big red rooibos latte.
A super huge thank you to Sasha from me for this great interview and for this wonderful blog that has brought me so much joy, entertainment and smiles. I can't wait for you to get to Morocco in the next few weeks! You can follow Sasha on her blog, on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter!
FFFB: Yvonne of My Halal Kitchen
Favorite Female Food Bloggers February 3, 2012 2
Chances are you've heard of Yvonne and My Halal Kitchen. She's a go to source for many Muslims (especially new Muslims) who are embracing a halal eating and overall lifestyle. I have been a reader now for many years and enjoy so many of her recipes. I love them because they are halal versions of many of the foods I grew up with. I come from an Italian/Germanic/Scandinavian background and was raised in the land of beer and sausage…not halal – not in any way. Yvonne has made over many of these recipes! She also shares lifestyle, whole living information and spotlights great companies who fit into that lifestyle. If you're not a reader yet you will be!
Tell me a little bit about your blog and what you write about.
My Halal Kitchen is a food and cooking blog where I publish content that conforms to the halal dietary guidelines of readers, as well as those interested in all-natural, organic and sustainable farm to form information. Halal is the Arabic word for 'permissible' and can relate to food, dress, moral values, financial decisions and more. It's a guideline for Muslims, followers of Islam, and is most likened to what kosher is for those who follow Jewish food and lifestyle guidelines.
On My Halal Kitchen I also strive to share ways readers can find halal products or to simply tell readers about kitchen tools, food documentaries and the latest information that I discover about the halal food industry and/or the food industry in general.
Why did you start blogging?
I love to teach what I know (which is also an integral part of Islam) so when I came to a point in my life where the timing was right and I was more than eager to begin my career as a food writer, I just did it. A lot of persuasion by family and friends helped, but ultimately I knew that it was right for me and something I had a burning passion to pursue.
What is your earliest memory in the kitchen?
I remember weekend nights when I had friends for sleepovers. My parents had the wonderful idea of keeping us girls entertained by helping bake cakes or cookies and other foods. It was so much fun and they made everything accessible and colorful for us. Cooking and being in the kitchen wasn't seen as scary, intimidating or a chore; it was approached as a happy place to be and a great place to make memories.
Who or what influences you in the kitchen today?
Today when I'm in the kitchen I think about what readers would be interested to know and what cooking questions or problems I can answer or solve for them. It gives me a lot of satisfaction knowing that by what I'm cooking and later presenting in my classes, books or on my blog will actually be helpful to them. It's what motivates me to do more.
What is your favorite ingredient?
I have so many favorite ingredients, but the one ingredient (aside from sea salt) that seems to add something special to just about every savory dish is a fresh sprig of thyme. It enhances the flavor profile of things like poultry or roasted vegetables just enough to give off the delicate aroma that differentiates it from other herbs and spices.
Everyone has a favorite recipe that we just can't re-create the same way as our mom, grandma etc. Which recipe is this for you?
I've had so much practice re-creating both of my grandmothers' traditional Sicilian and Puerto Rican dishes to make them with halal ingredients that although they may not be exactly the same, they've turned out really well and passed the test of family members. One recipe I'd like to continue perfecting is my Abuela's recipe for pasteles, which are a sort of Puerto Rican tamale in which food is wrapped in banana leaves. They're quite involved to make, but worth every minute.
Who is your favorite "famous/celebrity" chef and why?
I have a lot of favorite celebrity chefs for different reasons, since they are the ones who have taught me valuable lessons in the kitchen (i.e. Julia Child, Martha Stewart) but currently it's a tie between two male chefs, Andreas Viestad and Jamie Oliver, for different reasons:
Andreas Viestad is a favorite because he inspires both my serious side and my culturally curious side, as well. His show, New Scandinavian cooking is so interesting to me that I'm always looking for more. Plus, he often cooks fish and game meat and has a great way of teaching about the natural beauty of Scandinavia. I just love it.
Jamie Oliver's passion for real food and passing on his cooking knowledge to kids, parents and schools is something that inspires me to do what I do with our Muslim schools, too. His honesty and perseverance and tireless effort are something I can feel when seeing him in action and also because I know what a challenge it is to make changes in school food, I appreciate his efforts even more.
Which of your recipes is your favorite?
I love diversity so it's hard to choose just one dish, but if I had to choose it would be my Sicilian roasted pepper salad only because I simply can't believe how good they turn out roasted on a stove when I first learned how to roast them outdoors in Sicily. I never thought I'd be able to re-create that, but every time I make it I'm transported back to that memory.
What was your least successful recipe attempt?
I honestly haven't had too many disasters, simply because I am adamant about not wasting food and have learned to salvage food in surprising ways, but I do remember the first time I made duck breast. The smell was very gamey and distracted me as I watched it fry in the pan and worry about how it might turn out. I cooked it thoroughly—a little too much and it turned out to be rubbery, but my husband ate it, anyway….poor guy.
Which kitchen tools couldn't you live without?
Scissors in the kitchen- they are so useful since they can be used to chop herbs, slice pizza and open bags. They're also so easy to clean and a lot safer to have with kids around than sharp knives that can be so dangerous.
Last meal. What would yours be?
Any combination of bread and cheese (i.e. pasta with cheese) whether it's in the form of a rustic pizza, a grilled cheese sandwich or a creamy mac n' cheese dish. It's my ultimate comfort food and one that gives me memories of my childhood- simple times and precious moments with the people I've been the closest to in my life.
Anything else you'd like to add/share!
Thank you so much for the interview and for selecting me as someone you decided to include in your lovely blog. Keep up the great work!

FFFB: Olga of Mango & Tomato
Favorite Female Food Bloggers January 27, 2012 2
Today I am so happy to share an interview with one of my favorite people. Olga is a blogging friend who I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know in person. Last May at Eat, Write, Retreat we got to know each other and have been chatting ever since. I love her website because it's a great mix of unique recipes and local info on Washington DC. It's kind of like a little trip down memory lane. Oh and it's loaded with really gorgeous pictures – she is such a talented photographer! Meet Olga!
Tell me a little bit about your blog and what you write about.
My blog documents my passion for food. It covers my original recipes, eating out adventures and culinary travels. I love sharing my creations with readers and be able to advise them where they would have an excellent meal out. It's basically my food diary (but not the one where I write how many calories I've eaten!).
Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging to share anything and everything food related in my life with my family and friends. And then the readers came!
What is your earliest memory in the kitchen?
That's a hard one. Not necessarily a true memory, but the story my parents have told me is that when I was really little, I would tell everyone who would listen how to make candy. Supposedly, I would say that all you need was water: stir it till you'll have candy. I must have been 2 or 3 years old. A woman who overheard me on a bus asked my mom if this was true! Can you believe that?
Who or what influences you in the kitchen today?
Both my parents and grandparents cook. They hardly ever use recipes: instead, they use their imagination and what's available. That's exactly how I cook.
What is your favorite ingredient?
You can't possibly make me choose just one. The things I always have around are garlic, onions, olive oil, and spices.
Everyone has a favorite recipe that we just can't re-create the same way as our mom, grandma etc. Which recipe is
this for you?
My mom makes amazing split pea soup. I tried recreating it a few times by memory and with her advise, but it just did not work. Luckily, Aviva shared her recipe for split soup and, amazingly, it was spot on!
Who is your favorite "famous/celebrity" chef and why?
I would love to have a meal with Ina Garten. I love that she makes accessible food in a very calm manner. You can tell she really loves what she does.
Which of your recipes is your favorite?
I typically don't make the same thing more than once, but there are a few exceptions. One is the recipe I made while I was in Daring Bakers: flourless chocolate cake. Another is Shakshuka: it's an egg and tomato dish. The best thing about the dish is that not only is it quick and filling, but you can vary it by adding different spices and extra vegetables.
What was your least successful recipe attempt?
I just made beef stroganoff for the first time ever with a few friends: it was so good. How can you go wrong with beef, mushrooms, shallots and sour cream served over egg noodles?
Which kitchen tool couldn't you live without?
My chef's knife is the one kitchen tool I use all the time. But I also love my microplane.
Last meal. What would yours be?
Let's see: there would be a TON of food: Russian potato salad , sushi, steak, watermelon, dark chocolate, tomatoes, mangoes, pickled vegetables, smoked salmon…obviously I have a hard time narrowing down my choices.
Anything else you'd like to add/share
Thank you so much for choosing to interview me! If your readers would like more information, they can find me on my website Mango & Tomato, on Twitter (@mangotomato), Pinterest (mangotomato) or Facebook.
FFFB: Shulie of Food Wanderings
Favorite Female Food Bloggers January 20, 2012 4
It's Friday so you know what that means. It's time for my favorite female food bloggers series! Today's interview is with Shulie Madnick of Food Wanderings. Shulie describes herself as Indian-Jewish. She grew up in Israel and has lived in the US for the last two decades. After we left Washington DC three years ago I found and met online, so many fun bloggers from that area! I can't tell you how much I wish we were still living in DC and I could get together with these fabulous ladies! Shulie has a really great style, she's a good storyteller and she has this lovely sense about her that makes me smile. Her photos are gorgeous and her recipes are always something I never would have thought of. The combinations that she creates are mouthwatering but rarely ingredients I would have considered together. I think you'll love her style and recipes as much as me!
Meet Shulie!
Tell me a little bit about your blog and what you write about.
Food Wanderings is a reflection of who I am and my background as an Indian, Israeli Jewess living in the US now more than half my life. I 'spin' (weave) stories as one dear friend & food blogger Deeba of Passionate about Baking put it. The 'spin' was taken out of context, you got to see one of of Deeba's comments to understand what she meant.
Why did you start blogging?
Throughout many years of dinners and holiday parties my friends, my son & husband urged me to write a cookbook intertwined with my food, cultural and childhood memories, I shared with them. Though not a cookbook but as my son was off to college I felt an urgency to document thoughts, stories and recipes for generations to come through launching Food Wanderings.
What is your earliest memory in the kitchen?
An assembly line growing up in my mom's Indian kitchen, as we, all four sisters, had a 'station' in a cramped up table space with a task. Mine was rolling out the small dough balls into perfect round shapes.
Who or what influences you in the kitchen today?
Primarily my mom. I know you hear it often as we are all biased, but I am to date to meet someone as talented as her in the kitchen.
What is your favorite ingredient?
Everyone has a favorite recipe that we just can't re-create the same way as our mom, grandma etc. Which recipe is this for you?
There are tricks to this puren poli, rolled out flat bread filled with sweetened chickpeas paste. My mom's filling of sweetened chickpea paste never cracked through the rolled out dough. I've seen many and rolled out many but my mom always and still makes them to perfection. It tasted same whether cracked or not though.
Who is your favorite "famous/celebrity" chef and why?
I enjoy so many. Just recents: rooted for Chef Zakarian as my favorite chef on The Next Iron Chef. Had a really good meal in Boston couple weeks back at Russel House Tavern in Cambridge, MA Food was seasoned well.
Which of your recipes is your favorite?
I always make red lentil daal/dal/dahl. It is super healthy, low fat, super flavorful, packed with nutrients such as protein and dietary fibers. It is also super quick to make, could be frozen in batches and appropriate for every meal or just as a healthy snack it you get hungry but trying to avoid junk food.
What was your least successful recipe attempt?
Which kitchen tool couldn't you live without?
My spatulas. Funnily enough.
Last meal. What would yours be?
Indian food

FFFB: Sarah of Food Bridge
Favorite Female Food Bloggers January 13, 2012 8
Long ago as I was pouring over blogs (because cookbooks were way too expensive for our budget at the time), I found Food Bridge. The pictures drew me in but the stories captivated me. This was a time when I wasn't really sure how to express myself and the experiences I had. My blog was a recipe index and my cooking skills were mediocre. Oh how I wished I could write like Sarah. I bookmarked and visited her page daily for weeks watching and waiting for a new post. Every new post allowed me to, if even for a brief moment escape from the normalcy that was my life. Sarah's life in Israel transcended the political and religious borders that seemed so cut and dry. I also knew that her goal – that food can bridge the divide between people was true. I've seen it, I live it. Thank you Sarah. I hope you'll enjoy and be inspired by her blog as much as I have.
Tell me a little bit about your blog and what you write about.
For a food blogger, I am often out of sync with the latest culinary trends; I am clueless about the best cookbooks, hottest chefs and must go restaurants. Instead, I focus on what endures, the culture and history of ethnic cuisine. My aim, as the title of my blog suggests, is food as a bridge between cultures as well as their relationship and similarities with one another. I also incorporate my other interests, including travel, edible wild plants, ethnobotany, photography and food science.
Why did you start blogging?
My first blog platform was blogger which I used to help publicize my Middle Eastern cooking workshops. I hoped it would act as an online business card, linking me to potential customers. It didn't work as I expected. Blogging triggered a passion for writing and photography and teaching fell to the way side.
In time my blog linked me to like minded people as well as created new writing opportunities.
What is your earliest memory in the kitchen?
I wish I could say it was the smell of grandma's butter cake on a Sunday morning or my mother's slow cooked stew. Instead I remember digging my little hands into a Cracker Jacks box anticipating the prize hidden within. I also recall hating a vast number of foods. Eggplants, cooked carrots, onions, garlic- all of them were on my untouchable list. Peas were beyond disgusting and I refused to eat them even under threat of no dessert. And liver…just the thought would make me gag. I am reconciled with my kitchen repulsions and can even describe myself as a non picky eater.
Who or what influences you in the kitchen today?
I am mostly influenced by beautiful ingredients. I am ridiculous, falling in love with piles of parsley, burgundy plums and the scent of ripe mangoes. I always buy too much and arrive home with enough to supply an army. It's wasteful and expensive. The solution is to send my husband out on the shopping expedition. He doesn't meander very much from the list I give him.
What is your favorite ingredient?
Lemons. I love their versatility, zing and sun shiny color. I use lemon juice is instead of vinegar in vinaigrettes, marinades and sauces. Zest adds a bright citrus flavor to both savory and sweet dishes. One of my favorite drinks is lemonana, lemonade flavored with fresh mint sprigs.
Everyone has a favorite recipe that we just can't re-create the same way as our mom, grandma etc. Which recipe is this for you?
My mom is a one hit wonder type of cook so not only can I not replicate her food she can't either (which is fine since she ends up making another hit). She never follows recipes but just invents things along the way, combining ingredients from experience and innovation. One particularly memorable dish she prepared was chicken topped with sliced lemon and brown sugar. The sugar caramelized on the fruit so they were almost candied, infusing the chicken with lemony sweetness. I tried replicating this recipe but it is never quite how I remembered it.
Who is your favorite "famous/celebrity" chef and why?
I don't watch food shows. I have never seen an episode of Master Chef, No Reservation or even the Food Network. It's not that I try to avoid them. I simply don't own a television and have no idea who the famous chefs are supposed to be. I do however read many cookbooks and would have to give Paula Wolfert celebrity status for her dedication, mastery and preservation of ethnic recipes.
Which of your recipes is your favorite?
I don't really have a favorite. I have taste bud fatigue and get bored eating the same thing repeatedly. At home I do have about a dozen recipes which I make regularly including lahmacun, pasta Bolognese, chili con carne, meatballs with olives and preserved lemons, osh plov (Bukharan rice with carrots), kubba (semolina dumplings in lemony tomato soup) and spaghetti with anchovies and parsley.
What was your least successful recipe attempt?
It was a recipe for curried chicken with red lentils. It is truly unfortunate that red lentils lose their vibrant orange color and degrade into what looks like sewage sludge. I gave it to my kids to eat and they said "we're not going to eat it until you do!" Not a chance.
Which kitchen tool couldn't you live without?
My cast iron pan. I use it most often to sear meat, for shallow frying, caramelize onions and even to scramble eggs (I turn off the heat in the middle and the eggs continues to cook until set). I never put my cast iron pan away.
Last meal. What would yours be?
Have no idea, not sure I want to think about it.
Anything else you'd like to add/share with my readers?
I have a large collection of cookbooks, many of them written by home cooks. The authors often have no professional knowledge of styling, photography or editing recipes. What they do have is a thorough knowledge of their family's cuisine, whether it is Polish or Tunisian and a passion to share it with others.

FFFB: Kathy of The Colors of Indian Cooking
Favorite Female Food Bloggers December 30, 2011 2
It's time to start sharing my favorite female food bloggers! I know I said that it would be a 2012 edition but I had to get started just a few days early because I was so excited. (Hey, I never was good with the whole patience thing). So today I would like to introduce you to Kathy of The Colors of Indian Cooking. I found Kathy's blog through Twitter (really did you think it would have been somewhere else?) We've shared conversations and I've drooled over more of her recipes than I can count. In the last two years I turned my husband into a lover of Indian food – thanks in part to Kathy's fantastic recipes.
So without further adieu – Meet Kathy!
Tell us a little bit about your blog and what you write about
My blog is called The Colors Of Indian Cooking. I write about my 21 year experience of cooking healthy Indian food. Most of my recipes are low fat and feature seasonal foods. In the last several years I've been concentrating on the food of South India with a focus on vegetarian /vegan cooking and now more gluten free options because several friends of mine have been diagnosed with celiac disease.
Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging about 2 and 1/2 years ago while I was doing a podcast for A Million Cooks. The podcasts were too short to feature an entire recipe with all the directions etc, so I decided to add a blog. 2 and 1/2 years later I'm no longer doing the podcasts but the blog is going strong.
What is your earliest memory in the kitchen?
My earliest memory of the kitchen was being carried into the kitchen of a relative's Italian restaurant. I must have been about 4 and was mightily impressed with all the food smells and delicious bites the kitchen staff gave me to eat.
Who or what influences you in the kitchen today?
I've been very influenced by chef and cookbook author Paula Wolfert. We became good friends when we moved to Sonoma 6 years ago. She's been a real mentor to me. She was the one who got me started slow cooking my Indian food in clay. In fact she gave me my very first clay pot. She's been very supportive of what I'm doing with the blog. She even put one of my recipes into her cookbook last year. One of the reasons I admire her is for her ability to take a food culture that she was not born into (Moroccan food) and embrace it and share her love of it with others. As a non-Indian learning about and cooking Indian food, she's been a great example for me.
What is your favorite ingredient?
I could not cook with out my cilantro!
Everyone has a favorite recipe that we just can't re-create the same way as our mom, grandma etc. Which recipe is this for you?
I'm Italian, and both of my grandmothers were excellent cooks. There's one thing that I've so far been unable to re-create and that is my mother's mothers meringue cookies. They totally intimidate me. Someday I'll master them.
Who is your favorite "famous/celebrity" chef and why?
I admire Rick Bayless for his ability to embrace a food and culture that is not natively his own.
Which of your recipes is your favorite?
That is like asking a mom which of her children she loves best. I could never choose, as I'm always exploring.
What was your least successful recipe attempt?
Never mention cream puffs in my kitchen.
Which kitchen tool couldn't you live without?
My Santoku knife, when one cooks with as many vegetables as I do it's a must!
Last meal. What would yours be?
Something not yet grown on this planet
What other inspiration would you like to share?
I'd love to see more non-Indians experiment with Indian dishes and learning about the wonderful food culture of this great country. Indian food is very easy to make in the American kitchen. Nearly all the spices are available at most supermarkets, or Asian or Hispanic groceries. If I could say anything it would be, give it a try, you'll have fun.
I hope that you will love Kathy's blog as much as I do! Make sure to stop and visit The Colors of Indian Cooking - also connect with her on Twitter @kathygori. If you've got more questions for her leave me a comment here!
Here are two of my favorite recipes from Kathy; Panner (Indian cheese) so easy! Pumpkin Curry a really creative and delicious dish.
Next week I'll be introducing another favorite …any idea who it might be?

I voted Pardon and here is why: Game 1: In that first game man, his team was calling him names and stuff too. If you looks at the people who reported him you can see that none of them were on his team. The one guy on his team told him to, "calm down b****." I think that he shouldn't be banned for retaliation, sure he shouldn't have retaliated but at the same time not everyone is perfect. If you look at who reported him in this game, it was 3 enemies and 0 allies. Obviously his allies didn't think that he deserving of a ban or a trip to the tribunal. Therefore this is a game where I would give him a pardon on. Game 2: The second games is the one where he played Darius and he left which I find to be relatively inexcusable however, his team wasn't treating him very well at all so I think that has to be taken into consideration. Also, it seemed as though the other team was trolling him to some degree as well. In this game he was reported by 1 enemy and 2 allies. That means that half of his team felt like they were negatively affected by him in that game. Therefore, I would say that this game should be punished. (It is half of his team because 5-1=4 and 4*(1/2)=2. What I am saying here is that when you consider how many people on his team reported him, you have to exclude him because he is the one person in question therefore only 4 other people remain on his team.) Game 3: In the third game he really didn't abuse anyone that much as he was venting his frustration at Hecarim, who was camping his lane. We all have been there when our lanes are being camped and remember how much that sucks. In this game 2 enemies and only 1 ally reported him. It would seem as though the clear majority of his team thought that he did not deserve a trip to the tribunal. Therefore I would pardon this specific game. Another thing worth noting in this case is the time between reports. The first report happened a month before the other two which happened in back to back days. I think that this shows that this player is not a bad person but rather may have had a bad day which is not an excuse to take it out on others but does hold some weight in and of itself. In conclusion, I believe that only having 1 game with content in which this summoner has potentially been reported in a worthwhile endeavor (grammar?), they do not deserve a ban. However, they should be required to send those who participated in those specific games with them an apology for their own respective actions.
Senior Member
You didnt cross out the other darius summoner name btw at one spot.
I would have liked to see enemies scores and pre and post team chat logs. I voted there wasn't enough info. Honestly, the enemy team was more offensive the first game than him. He shouldn't have fed into it, but it happens. Second game, it doesn't say how many times he got disconnected. Disconnects happen and yes, her did leave the game a bit early. But if he was already dead and they were at the nexus, what's the point. Third game, he seemed more annoyed than anything. Would have liked to seen Hecarim's score because it sounded like Hec was doing awesome. He did trash talk, but it wasn't excessive.
Im punishing for other reasons: - He was not positive with his team AT ALL - Any comment about his team gameplay helped **** - Selfish attitude ( my way or I feed )

The Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM), chaired by Pawar, last met on July 31
India will convene a meeting of its specialist panel of ministers on drought next week to take stock of the progress of summer-sown crops and review the monsoon situation, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said on Wednesday.
India, the world's leading producer and consumer of a number of farm commodities, is facing its first drought in three years but has ample stocks of important food stuffs such as rice, wheat and sugar.
The Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM), chaired by Pawar, last met on July 31.
The country is currently exporting the three commodities and the government has no plans to halt their overseas sales for now, Food Minister K. V. Thomas said on Wednesday.
Pawar said any loss in the area sown with cane in top sugar producing Maharashtra state would be compensated by the northern state of Uttar Pradesh where cane acreage is 10 percent higher.
He added that the condition of the cotton crop is good so far.
"Condition of cotton crop is good as of now but nothing final can be said about the output as the crop is still in the maturing stage," Pawar said.

Helping with trolling motor

Hello all, I plan on taking my old town canoe out for it's first outing of the season this Wednesday. Over the winter I received an outboard trolling motor. I was curious, what extra equipment will I need to get this motor running? What I have now is the (unopened) trolling motor, a 12v deep-cycle marine battery (with charger), and the motor mount. Also, any insight on the process would be much appreciated.

Archive for the "publicity" CategoryPal Ken and Robert Wilson IV are Kickstarting a comics collaboration and you need to go and throw some cash at them. Comments Off Now that we've all got our angst over whether or not sci-fi comics featuring bukakke can be bought on iOS devices, I thought it would be nice to mention that a real porn comic that I fully support, Sticky by Dale Lazarov and Steve MacIsaac is now available as a digital comic without a corporate gatekeeper deciding if you can read it or not. Here's a brief preview: Comments Off Dale Lazarov's new book, a collaboration with illustrator Amy Colburn, Manly, is now available for pre-order from Amazon. I've seen some preview pages, and it looks really quite good. Well worth checking out if you're a fan of quality, sophisticated all-male entertainment. Preview pages of Matt Maxwell's forthcoming graphic novel Strangeways are also available. It's cowboys and werewolves…what is not to love about that? And for you Hellboy fans, Joshua Dysart, writer of B.P.R.D.: 1946, will be signing at Illusive Comics and Games Feb. 20th. Maybe Mike will give you the day off Aaron. Comments Off |

"Performing in space is such an honor."
Who else but Lady Gaga could utter such a phrase and still be taken seriously?
"I want to challenge myself to come up with something that will not only bring everyone together but will also have a message of love that blasts into the beyond," she says in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, referring to her planned one-song performance on a Virgin Galactic flight, which was announced back in November.
The 27-year-old singer will be auctioning off her plus-one seat on the space plane to raise money for her Born This Way Foundation, and she envisions a future in which she's like Oprah Winfrey or Melinda Gates, making money so she can give to others.
Still, it hasn't been all sky-high happiness and generosity for Lady Gaga: At the end of last year she went through a bad bout of depression, she told the mag.
"I felt very taken advantage of by people I trusted," she said. "I asked my mother, "I work so hard. I never stop. I never say no. Why doesn't this person love me, Mom? Why was this person willing to hurt me to help themselves? Why wasn't I enough? Why is money more important than me? She reminded me to forgive others for not seeing God where I see it. I see God in my fans."
Her mother, she said, helped her understand her own feelings, and she was able to pull from herself out of her depression come the new year.
"I really felt like I was dying -- my light completely out. I said to myself, 'Whatever is left in there, even just one light molecule, you will find it and make it multiply....' Depression doesn't take away your talents — it just makes them harder to find. But I always find it. I learned that my sadness never destroyed what was great about me. You just have to go back to that greatness, find that one little light that's left.
"I'm lucky I found one little glimmer stored away."

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Dart Container.
Interview DetailsThe interview process was pretty extreme. I had to do a phone interview, face to face interview, an additional face to face interview, and went in for testing on two different occasions. The first test was a ton of math and not really anything to do with a Legal Assistant position. The second test was a bunch of random question. They gave you 15 minutes to answer as many as you could knowing you couldn't answer them all. Neither of the testing they did had anything to do with the position I was applying for. On the second face to face interview, I was told we would have to completely start over as far as interview questions were concerned because the two gentlemen had not received any information about me from the previous two interviews. The entire process was just pretty lengthy.
Interview Questions- Mostly just basic interview questions, nothing overly hard or unexpected. Answer Question
Reasons for DecliningThe insurance wasn't nearly as good as where I currently work and they were only offering two weeks of vacation time a year. It takes 15 years to get up to four weeks.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Dart Container.
Interview DetailsThree interviews. First pretty laidback, asked a couple off-the-cuff math questions that are easy with paper but requires quick thinking if you're not math-enabled. Included a timed 120 questions computer test to test pattern, word association, and math ability. Second was with two people (first wasn't) Was generally friendly, but there seemed to be a couple mildly hostile probing that might have been meant to test reactions. Standard abstract thinking math questions to see how you arrived at a rough estimate of a figure. Explored my resume (review it!). Also had a hour long pricing test at the end the had you utilize excel and word to solve a noise-laden pricing problem.
Interview Questions- Some questions were probing and I felt that I should have defended my position more. Answer Question
No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview - Interview Details
I applied for the position and didn't hear back for an interview for 4 months. The rest of the process was pretty usual, phone screening, then a video interview because I wasn't in the area. I had to decline at this point because I was leaving for a trip to go abroad once I had graduated.
Interview Questions- Some usual questions, and some analytical questions Answer Question
No Offer - Application Details
I applied online – interviewed at Dart Container in July 2014.
Interview DetailsApplied online and 5 weeks later received an email asking me to call a phone number listed. Called and set up a phone interview. I asked if this would be with the hiring manager and was told no and was not given any other details of who I would be speaking with. Received a call from an HR person at the scheduled time which was the next morning. I was then asked if it was okay if the conversation would be recorded for the hiring manager. The HR person then proceeded to read off a list of questions from the hiring manager. I was really put off by this since I prepared for an HR phone screen.
Interview Questions- Tell me what you know about the company. Answer Question
No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Dart Container in July 2014.
Interview DetailsApplied online on company website and received a call from HR. Got phone interview and then interview at the office. Questions were a mix of personal, experience, skills and knowledge. Some of the questions were very irrelevant and the interviewer could have made a better effort to understand the applicant's background and how it may be useful for the job. Questions include how many gas stations are there in the US. Why do you think Dart uses White plastic and pricing scenario questions.
Interview Questions- There was an aptitude test at the beginning,... about 300 questions not sure View Answer

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Dart Container in June 2014.
Interview DetailsApply and send resume, and the hiring manager calls you about a week and a half later to schedule an interview. I did a phone interview because I was out of state.
Interview Questions- Some questions were a bit out of left field. I felt like I was pulling some answers out of the air. Answer Question
No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview - Application Details
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Dart Container.
Interview DetailsThere is testing that basically is insulting for the level of the position.
Interview Questions- How do you think your current skills will help you in this role? Answer Question
Reasons for DecliningI did not want to relocate to Mason Michigan
Declined Offer - Application Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a day – interviewed at Dart Container in April 2014.
Interview DetailsThe interview process was like a maze. You first take a timed assessment test. If you pass then you have a one on one interview. The interview was rather strange. The manager was very dry and tried to intimidate you. The questions were more focused on getting the answer correct to mathmatic and statistical questions as opposed to questions about skills.
Interview Questions- They ask statistical and percentage questions Answer Question

ArchiveUniversity condemned for Al-Arian dismissal The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) condemned the University of South Florida (USF) on Saturday, accusing it of dismissing a computer science professor for political reasons.<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> 15 Jun 2003 11:47 GMT Al-Arian's suspension was for political reasons, says AAUPDelegates to the eighty-ninth annual meeting of AAUP said in a statement that USF has made "grave departures from Association-supported standards" which resulted in "serious professional injury" to Professor Sami al-Arian. Al-Arian was arrested last February after US justice officials described him as the North American leader of the Palestinian resistance group, Islamic Jihad. AAUP said the university president's decision to suspend al-Arian and ban him from entering the campus for eighteen months came "without an opportunity for a hearing before faculty peers". Such a decision was "based on political issues entirely apart from any legitimate academic concerns", the AAUP statement said. Al-Arian, a Kuwaiti-born Palestinian, was suspended from the university after the 11 September attacks in 2001, following his participation on a television programme on Fox TV. The show's host attacked him, saying al-Arian was a terrorist. University officials initially said the suspension was for al-Arian's safety. Then, university President Judy Genshaft announced on 19 December 2001 al-Arian's imminent termination, according to the United Faculty of Florida (UFF). UFF, an organisation for higher education faculty and professionals in Florida, defended the due process rights, academic freedom and tenure rights of al-Arian. Six days after the professor was indicted by a federal grand jury for violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations (RICO) Act, Genshaft sent al-Arian the third letter of termination on 26 February, 2003. AAUP said it found al-Arian's dismissal, within days after his indictment and arrest, as a violation to the "cardinal American principle of 'innocent until proven guilty'". The AAUP censures administrations of educational institutions that have failed to adhere with the generally recognised principles of academic freedom and tenure. These principles have been endorsed by more than 180 professional and educational organisations, according to the AAUP statement. There are now 49 institutions on the list of censured administrations.

When the popup window is closed the parent window still contains the �welcome� message. However I�d like to have this page change automatically while the popup window is open to a �thanks for visiting� page.
This way the viewer would see my 'thanks for visiting' message when they close thw popup window
I�ve been trying to write a simple script using �onload� in the popup window that would change the url in the parent window but I can�t get it to work.
Any suggestion, any help appreciated.
<body onLoad="window.opener.parent.location='thanks.html'">
It works perfectly
Is there or could there be a script that detected if a visitor is coming from a link other than the homepage and if they are redirected them to the home page?
Tricky and getting fiddly. You could try the following:
<body onload="myPage_Load()">
You'll see that the code's getting a little bloated - it's up to you how far you go with it.
thanks for the input, It's looks like a really cool script I'm going to try in out first chance I get.
I'll keep you posted
Thanks mak

Today's been busy. Here's what Brian and I have done this weekend:
# Went to Target and got some patio furniture.
# Assembled that furniture (a table, umbrella and stand and set of four chairs)
# Cleaned out my car
# Swept the back patio
# Went to ACE Hardware and got potting soil, peat moss and seeds.
# Cleaned out all the old pots in the backyard and filled them with peat moss and potting soil
# Transplanted Brian's bean plants and Max's radishes from their science projects.
# Planted cucumbers, tomatoes and wildflowers
# Cleaned up (well, mostly) our mess and then watered everything, at least once.
# Finished setting up the server ficly will eventually live on so I can take it over the Seimitsu this week (if you're in Savannah and need pretty much anything IT or hosting-related, you'd be stupid not to call them – I love love love them).
And now, I'm going to take some Aleve and sit down.

I have a very minimal install of 64 bit Ubuntu 8.04.
When I try to run some 32-bit programs, such as my "jhead" program, I get the message "No such file or directory" I figured it may be a library problem, but when I do
ldd jhead
instead of a list of libraries it needs, I just get the message "not a dynamic application". Same for another old 32-bit app I use.
So it would appear some very important components for running 32 bit apps are not installed. But how do I even determine what these are?
