Wild garlic pesto aka ramson pesto recipe
(From the recipe archives - originally posted in April 2011. Three years on, this is still my favourite way of preparing wild garlic pesto. You can use either ramson or ramps).
Wild garlic has arrived! Wild garlic, also known as ramson or bear's garlic (Allium ursinum, 'karulauk' in Estonian), is a very close relative to the wild leek aka ramp (Allium tricoccum, 'grislilauk' in Estonian). I've been eagerly waiting for this spring green, as I love both the flavour and the versatily of it, and it's a good health-booster at this time of the year. Well, if it's good enough for big brown bears, it's good enough for us :D
Although I've been happily making a wild garlic pesto with pinenuts for a few years now, this one is a new favourite. There's more flavour, and somehow it's much more gutsier than the 'regular' wild garlic pesto. The idea to use almonds instead of pinenuts in a wild garlic pesto is from a German food magazine. I've upped the amount of almonds and cheese, and used regular almonds instead of blanched.
Let me tell you - this was a huge hit at my recent birthday brunch, where the guests were spreading it on thin slices of ciabatta. I'm heading to my secret wild garlic field later today, just so I could make this one again :)
You could definitely try this with ramps or even with garlic scapes. If you love garlic, you'll love this, I promise!
Other recipes using wild garlic/ramson @ Nami-Nami:
Wild garlic tzatziki
Wild garlic and potato mash
Wild garlic butter
Wild garlic pesto (with pinenuts)
Stuffed tomatoes with wild garlic salad
Wild garlic pesto / Ramson pesto
(Karulaugupesto mandlitega)
Makes about 200 ml
a good bunch of wild garlic (about 125 g), rinsed and drained
50 g Parmesan cheese, roughly chopped
50 g whole almonds
75 ml (5 Tbsp) extra virgin olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place almonds and cheese into a food processor and blitz into fine crumbs. Add wild garlic, process again until you've got a coarse pesto. Now add the oil little by little, with the machine still running.
Season with salt and pepper.
If you want to keep your pesto for a few weeks, then place into cool sterilised jars and pour a layer of olive oil on top. Keep in the fridge.

Weirdly I posted a wild garlic pesto ristotto recipe with almonds last Saturday. We loved it so much that I reprised it in a aubergine parmigiana for yesterday's post. Great minds think alike! Almonds cheaper and tastier in my opinion. WG season almost over here in Scotland but I've got a stash in the freezer. Bet you do too. Prefer wild garlic pesto to basil pesto now.

Love your site. Trust an Estonian to beat a Latvian to the punch, e.g. creating a food blog about the fantastic food available in this part of the world.
My husband and I are also foodies and are in wild garlic heaven (lakši in Latvian). They're protected here - foraging not really allowed, but there are cultivated fields of this stuff and lots show up in the Riga central market. We also make pesto, but no nuts or cheese, just olive oil and course salt. It keeps forever and we add it to all kinds of stuff (a trick an Italian taught me when we lived in Toronto). Spring time is marvelous for picking edible plants in the country. Couldn't have done that in N-America!

Kellie - glad to "meet" another almond-pesto lover :)
Lucy - as I said, this is my favourite way of making wild garlic pesto these days!
Aija - great to know the Latvian name for this great herb! And they're protected here, too, grade 3. Personal use is ok, but not allowed to sell the wild stuff. However, I am pretty sure most of the stuff at the markets is from the forests and not from the personal gardens...

I can practically smell it from here and I'm pretty sure I drooled a little when you mentioned it being smeared on ciabatta.

I add fresh ginger when I make it, and this helps to prevent it from spoiling since mold does not like ginger. But most of it goes in small jars in the freezer, and then you have it all year. Plus lemon juice.
Just made about 6 kg of it last night with Parmigiano Reggiano and Italian pine nuts!

I just made some three cornered leek pesto and used a mixture of brazil nuts and pine nuts. It tastes amazing!
I am a gardener and have spent the last two days pulling up the 'weed' from my clients garden.

|This study sought to determine how participating in professional development focused on leadership development relates to a principal's sense of efficacy as a leader. Presently professional development is the key strategy used to provide training and support to in-service principals. The effectiveness of these professional development opportunities to building leadership skills is often untested due to limited evaluation. In this study, principals participated in a series of leadership professional development activities over the course of a semester. Participants then rated their own increase in efficacy as a leader using a truncated version of the original Principal Self Efficacy Survey (PSES) created by Tschannen-Moran and Gareis (2004). Furthermore, the principals identified the components of the training they felt were most influential to their growth. There was no noteworthy growth in overall efficacy or in a principal's sense of control over stress, outside perception or outside influences. However, a decrease in efficacy in the area of controlling student success was statistically significant. The study also examined the relationship between self-efficacy ratings and student achievement measured by AYP results yet no relationships were found. The last question examined during this study was the relationship between preference of professional development and adult learner needs. The three professional develop strategies ranked as most preferred by principal were identified as "Coaching and Mentoring", "Observing others" and "Workshops". These methods were found to have characteristics recognized as meeting adult learning needs. Influences on the outcomes of this study included truncating the original PSES and the short treatment period of the study. Results of this study provide a basis for further studies and can add to the body of knowledge used for planning and preparation of further professional development opportunities for principals.

Intent to irritate: But blogger not guilty of stalking
The woman whose website about a local drug task force landed her in jail for a month won a victory in court Wednesday on charges of stalking an ATF agent. Even as her own attorney calls her blogging and photography habits bizarre, Elisha Strom has been found not guilty for her behavior.
The brash 35-year-old maintains she was merely needling Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Special Agent John Stoltz when she posted photos of him, his car, license plate, and house on her blog, I HeArTE JADE.
"Ridiculing the ridiculous," is how Strom characterized her activities in a eve-of-trial posting on her blog, which originally tracked the activities of the Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement task force until she was ordered to cease contact with its members. She turned her attention to the other law enforcement officers including the ATF's Stoltz.
"I was very concerned for my safety and the safety of my family," Stoltz testified during the December 1 trial in Greene County General District Court. Aware of her history with JADE, Stoltz said he'd discussed her state of mind with those officers, and he noted that Strom, who lives in Bedford, had driven more than 70 miles to follow and photograph him.
Stoltz said he was troubled by an incident he heard about in which Strom admittedly fired a gun and by her previous connection to white supremacists. (Strom's estranged husband is Kevin Strom, who led a local white separatist group until he was convicted of one count of child porn possession in 2008.)
Greene Commonwealth's Attorney Ron Morris presented more than 20 entries from iHeArTE JADE, including pictures taken in January 2009 of Stoltz driving a blue Dodge Charger.
Stoltz said he grew concerned when Strom, in April of that year, told the world the distance from JADE headquarters to his house in Greene County and a provided a photo of a Sheetz convenience store about a quarter of a mile from his house.
"Any individual who wanted to cause me harm, it would lead them right to my door," testified Stoltz, though he acknowledged on cross-examination that many of the subsequent posts used the original photos of him and his car.
Stoltz cited a letter Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo had written Strom in February of that year ordering her to back off from following JADE and possibly interfering with its activities, as well as his own ATF supervisor's visit to Strom July 28 asking her to knock it off. (Naturally, Strom wrote and illustrated a blog post about the visit from the ATF brass.)
On August 24, Stoltz, who Strom nicknamed "SeeSee" on her blog, filed a complaint for stalking, a class 1 misdemeanor. She was arrested August 30 after he spotted her outside his home taking fresh photos.
Last year, Strom was jailed for posting the address of a JADE officer, which can be a class 6 felony under Virginia law. The ACLU contended that law was unconstitutional and offered to defend Strom, who ultimately pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge. Earlier this year, Delegate Rob Bell amended the law to allow law enforcement officers to petition the court to remove their addresses from online public records.
In March, Strom was charged with violating the order to stay away from JADE members and spent another five days in jail.
In court, defense attorney Adam Rhea conceded that Strom's blog embarrasses police and that while her behavior has bordered on harassment, her efforts are constitutionally protected speech–- not conduct, as defined in the stalking statute, aimed at putting a person in fear. Rhea pointed out that Strom issued no threats against Stoltz and that she neither threatened nor followed his family members.
Strom, who did not testify, sported auburn tresses (though without the pink strands evident in earlier hearings) and chewed gum steadily throughout the three-hour trial.
Near the end, Judge William Barkley took a break to read the blog posts entered into evidence. In a maddening bit of timing, the courtroom's ventilation system cranked on just as the soft-spoken jurist offered the reasoning behind his not-guilty verdict, making most of his remarks inaudible–- even to reporters sitting in the front row.
Among the snatches of Barkley's decision the Hook did hear: "The court finds from the evidence that it is clearly Ms. Strom's position to irritate police officers, including Stoltz, and to ridicule police," and "Ms. Strom has the right to do these."
Prosecutor Morris immediately asked for a protective order, and declined comment after the hearing.
"Yay, I'm not a stalker," Strom said afterward. "I can't wait to see what they throw at me next."
Strom has claimed that some of the charges against her were intended to get her to take down her website, and she vows that's not going to happen. "It's not yet a crime to blog," she tells a reporter.
Updated 2:55pm with the correct spelling of ridiculous.

I can hardly wait to see what they're going to throw at her next also. It's not over yet. This loss is like somebody shooting them in the butt with a BB rifle. They're mad now! The courts didn't give 'em their way this time! :)

@ Angel Eyes
Are you talking about the same people who just closed the case and arrested the murderer who stalked, robbed and murdered Anthony Johnson in Towe Park 5 years ago? I guess in your mind they should also be stalked for doing that job. Same individuals. Same police force.
What is her goal with all this? Is there an end purpose that she feels justifies her bizarre behavior in the short term?
VA Teacher.... it is their job to do that and they get paid very well when you take into account their pensions. There are some very nefarious characters however, and in due course, some of them will be called on to the carpet, and rightly so.
They, like many of us, took an Oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against enemies, foreign and domestic. Violating citizen rights and lying about it is perjury, which is a felony and direct violation of the Constitution. As wacky as it maybe, these jokers are not defending anything other than their paychecks and pensions.
VaTeacher, why did it take the cop shoppe 5 years to find a murderer? Better yet, how long will it take them to find the killers of Morgan Harrington and Alicia Showalter Reynolds? You call this good work?
I don't think Freedom Loving needs to list any names in this or any other case. But he/she is right on target.
Thankfully though, the large majority of local law enforcement are good honest decent folk. The others belong in jail.
Well at least she spelled "ridiculous" correctly on her blog.
Thomas Jefferson said it all.... "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." Funny, 4th Amendment Rights don't see to be to important to the CPD, looks like two CPD detectives will be going to trial in April.... Do a google search of Deegan v. Rudman.
Is this article a case of poor reporting, bad ventilation or spin?
It is interesting that the Daily Progress reports that despite his decision, the judge saw fit to issue a temporary restraining order preventing her from approaching the ATF officer, his family, or his residence. It will be interesting to see if she can obey this order or if she will violate it like the last one.
Also, the Daily Progress is reporting that it was the Judge in the case, not just her attorney, who characterized her behavior as bizarre even though it did not meet the state's statute for stalking.
She and the officer have had their day in court and the issue has been decided according to the letter of the law, as it should be. I wonder if the legislature will look at this statute or craft another one that is more specific in its wording and not just intent. Man, I do love this "checks and balances" stuff. A little bit of representative democracy goes a long way, too.
Here is the DP article link: www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2010/dec/01/blogger-found-not-guilty-stalking-atf-agent-ar-689121/
You said it yourself, it may not be a smart idea, it certainly is not illegal.

Sounds like this blogger lady (in the nicest sense of the word) is trying to divert ATF efforts away from drugs. Sounds like she has some real personal issues!!!!! I'm sure her court appointed attorney felt very justified in the decision. She will be in the news again and the next time Law Enforcement will get it right, then she will go away at taxpayers expense again. Sounds like she needs a reality check...
Just because its legal to blog about the task force and travel all the way from Bedford to take photos of the members DON'T make it a good idea. C'moooooon girl! Stop wasting everyone's time and money and go ring a bell for the Salvation Army with all of your free time
Those types of people who work for JADE have it coming.
Freedom Loving, I'm curious...exactly who do you think has violated citizen rights and lied about it in this case?

Avvo.com, a website that helps people with their legal problems, is about to launch a new blog called Naked Law. It will be a sort of magazine that has interesting posts about stories directly and indirectly related to law...anything about divorce, money, politics, celebrities, crime, etc. that's related to law. It's law "exposed."
The target audience is US adults of all ages who enjoy reading entertaining and useful articles related to law.
1) The words "Naked Law" must be in the logo
2) The logo must incorporate some kind of graphic (and you must be prepared to show the source of the graphic to ensure I have the right to use it).
3) The logo must in some small way resemble Avvo's current logo, which you can find here: http://www.avvo.com/about_avvo/link_to_us . In other words, this logo should be unique, but it should share some element or elements with the Avvo.com logo, whether it's color, the arrow graphic, etc. so that you can tell they're related. The resemblance can, and should be, subtle.
The number one factor I'm looking for is something that's clever. This logo should be a good mix of serious and edgy/humorous, playing on the naked theme and the legal theme.

Final Week Approaches
It was another gorgeous weather day in Clearwater again, except for the numbers on the scoreboard in left center field. Atlanta downed the Phillies in front of the seventh spring sellout.
Ryan Madson tossed a three-batter scoreless inning, featuring his new biting slider. Tom Gordon was tagged for a couple of unearned runs before leaving because of a pitch count (Phils didn't want him throwing more than 30 pitches). His velocity did touch 93 on the radar gun.
Pinch hitter Greg Dobbs, battling for a spot on the bench, hit a three-run, opposite field homer in the 9th, his fourth of the spring.
The real pitching match-up took place at Carpenter Field where Brett Myers hooked up against A. J. Burnett in an AAA game between the Phillies minor leaguers and Blue Jays. Attendance there barely reached 40 people.
After the Bright House Networks Field game, Charlie Manuel announced that Myers would be the Phillies opening day starter on Monday, April 2. Myers was pitching at Carpenter Field today rather than face the Braves, whom he'll duel on April 2.
Tomorrow, the Phillies travel to Sarasota (9 a.m. bus) for a game with the Reds. Back home on Sunday for the Twins. Phillies need to get in gear as the final week approaches.

An influential Republican senator said Wednesday that he intends to support President Barack Obama's choice to fill a vacancy on the federal appeals court in Washington, a promising development for a Democratic administration that has complained that Republicans have been too slow to allow votes on many of its judicial nominees.
Of the court's seven active judges, four are GOP appointees and three are Democratic appointees. The court has four vacancies, and that gives Obama the opportunity to shift the balance of the court. Six senior judges on the court handle reduced caseloads.
Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah told Sri Srinivasan at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that he would make a "great" judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. At another point, Hatch told Srinivasan, "I think you're terrific."
Another Republican senator, Ted Cruz of Texas, finished his questioning of Srinivasan by telling him, "I thank you for a very fine job here today."
As the principal deputy solicitor general for the U.S., Srinivasan has argued cases to the Supreme Court. He has also represented clients in private practice.
Srinivasan, 46, deflected questions about positions he took as a lawyer, saying they did not represent his personal views.
He told the senators that he had "no grand unifying theory" and would approach his job as judge on "case-by-case basis." He presented himself as someone with great respect for precedent, which might help allay GOP concerns that Obama will try to reshape the court with "judicial activists."
The D.C. circuit is considered the second most influential court in the country, behind the Supreme Court, and often serves as a feeder for the top court. Four Supreme Court justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, served on the D.C. circuit.
Srinivasan is one of two people Obama has nominated for the appeals court. The other, Caitlin Halligan, withdrew her nomination after it was blocked by Republicans who claimed she was a judicial activist who didn't follow strict interpretations of the Constitution. Obama has yet to get a judge named to the court.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., complained about the "shameful treatment" that Halligan received, and said that her opponents want to see the D.C Circuit empty until they can get people to their liking on it.
"The hard right wants to use the D.C. Circuit to undo" a host of government decisions on issues such as environmental protection and financial regulation, he said.
The court is considered influential because it hears so many cases challenging the legitimacy of federal laws and regulations. In a recent high-profile case, the court invalidated Obama's recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, ruling that Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies. The White House, which plans to appeal to the Supreme Court, says the ruling runs contrary to more than 150 years of practice and would invalidate hundreds of recess appointments in Democratic and Republican administrations.
The Obama administration hopes that the bipartisan credentials of Srinivasan, who was born in India and raised in Lawrence, Kan., will help get him win confirmation. Srinivasan served as assistant to the solicitor general in the George W. Bush administration, and clerked for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, an appointee of Republican President Ronald Reagan. Last week, a dozen lawyers who represented the federal government before the Supreme Court under both parties urged that he be confirmed.
"Sri has a first-rate intellect, an open-minded approach to the law, a strong work ethic, and an unimpeachable character," the lawyers wrote in a letter to the Judiciary Committee. Among the signers were Paul Clement and Theodore B. Olson, solicitors general under George W. Bush, and Kenneth Starr, solicitor general under George H.W. Bush.
The Obama administration has made a big push for Srinivasan. Last week, White House spokesman Jay Carney urged the Senate to approve the nomination. This week, he complained about the overall pace of confirmation votes for judicial nominees.
Also at Wednesday's hearing, the committee's top Republican, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, announced legislation that would reduce the number of judges on the circuit from 11 to eight, and add one judge each to the 2nd and 11th Circuits. The 2nd covers Connecticut, Vermont and New York, while the 11th Circuit covers Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Grassley argued that the D.C. circuit's caseload doesn't justify 11 judges, a point Democrats on the committee contested.

Today's second — that is to say, final — athlete run-in story is about a guy we probably misidentified yesterday: Bulls point guard Kirk Hinrich, whose Facebook site is probably not actually this site. But anyway, this story, well, this story might not be true either, but you knew that already. But it's certainly more likely true than that Facebook thing. It comes to us from Brandon in Chicago:
I have a good friend whose roommate is a bit of a sloot. She is originally from Pittsburgh and has done the party in my pants dance with a couple of Steelers. Not long ago we were out at a bar in Chicago, and Kirk and his buddies were hitting on her pretty hard. She honestly had no idea who he was and must have told him to get a life two or three times. Then he pulled the whole, "Do you know who I am?" line. Swear to God. I've been around professional athletes a ton, and I've actually never heard one use this until that night.
She proceeds to say, ""I have no idea who you are, but you look like Harry Potter on steroids ... get a haircut." And then walked away.
Athlete Run-In: The Mystery Of The Mustache [Deadspin]

If you see a smile on Democratic Governor Jerry Brown's face today it won't be from the reaction to his State of the State speech.
Instead, it's more likely to be from the decision of a tax reform group not to compete with Brown's November ballot tax proposal.
For months, Brown has been campaigning for the voters to pass an initiative that would raise income taxes for the wealthy by up to one percent and increase the sales tax by one-half percent, both for five years.
If passed, Brown projects an additional $7 billion in badly needed new revenues, almost all of which would be earmarked for K-12 competition.
U.S. & World
The beauty of the measure is that the tax sources are targeted and temporary.
Brown has faced stiff opposition, but not from the conservative ranks one would normally expect, although that is sure to come down stream. Instead two rival groups have been circulating their own tax increase plans, raising the spectra of a fractured vote sure to bring about defeat for those who would create new state revenues.
Then came today's present.
"Think Long," a group with a $20 million campaign war chest funded by billionaire Nicholas Berggruen, reversed course and postponed its proposal until 2014. The group's plan was much more comprehensive and permanent than Brown's and likely to cut into the Brown proposal.
So far, so good for the Brown team.
But another groupl called the Advancement Project and led by wealthy civil rights attorney Molly Munger, is circulating a proposal to raise income taxes by one percent for all but the very poor, with the estimated $10 billion take directed exclusively for public education.
Like "Think Long," it threatens to splinter the support for Brown's effort.
It's hard to fault Munger's enthusiasm and commitment. California's per capita funding for public education ranks about 45th of the 50 states. $10 billion would go a long way toward improving the funding levels, that is if the proposition qualifies and if the voters accept a proposal sure to impact the middle class.
It now falls upon the education community to fully comprehend that one tax increase proposal has a better chance of garnering public approval than two, that accepting the more modest package proposed by the governor will generate a greater possibility for success than the larger counter-proposal offered by Munger.
Without such solidarity, both packages are likely to fail.
The November election will be crammed with candidacies and ballot campaigns all clamoring for political contributions and public support. Given that political environment, tax increase advocates need to agree on the best way to marshal limited resources.
Sometimes less is more, especially if the less taxing proposal (no pun intended) can gain the greatest support.
Whether that tax reform groups appreciate this axiom remains to be seen.

Philly vs. New York Day
August 30, 2007
Today's Lineup
Rollins, ss; Utley, 2b; Burrell, lf; Howard, 1b; Rowand, cf; Dobbs, 3b; Werth, rf; Ruiz, c; Lohse, p.
Today is Philadelphia vs. New York Day. The Phillies go for a four-game sweep of the Mets this afternoon and then tonight, the Eagles host the Jets in a pre-season game across the street tonight.
Kyle Lohse, who has a 3.15 ERA in three straight no decisions, gets the call to face the Mets. Lifetime, he is 0-1 against New York
Nunez' Gold Glove
Jamie Moyer picked up the win, the bullpen did its job, Jimmy Rollins and Pat Burrell delivered the long ball, Pat drove in the winning run and an interference call at second base gave the Phillies a 3-2 win last night. The Phillies are now 3-34 in games in which they score three or fewer runs. Not a good track record but a good time to start winning these type games.
The unsung hero was Abraham Nunez. His defense at third base was of Gold Glove caliber. Twice he took extra bases away from Luis Castillo with back-handed grabs of balls that were headed down the left field line. One was a play in which Nunez dove to his right, gloved the hard hit ball, got up and nailed Castillo at first base. For the night, Nunez had seven assists at the hot corner.
Fans Behind Pat
When Pat Burrell came up with the bases loaded in the fifth, he got a standing ovation. His second swing just missed being a grand slam, hooking at the last minute and just missing the left field foul pole. The standing-o returned when the count got to 3-2. He then hit a sacrifice fly that produced the eventual winning run.
Heading South
The Phillies will leave after the game taking a 6 p.m. charter flight to Ft. Lauderdale. They begin a three-game weekend series against the Marlins tomorrow night.
Monday-Tuesday and Wednesday finds them in Atlanta for the last time this season, day, night and day games.

In starting what I hope will be a regular trend, I'll be hosting a regular "fight night" at the Cavum brawl pub in Ramsalon. Fights are non-lethal, there is prize money for winners and bets can be placed. I expect to run 3-5 fights a night. If you wish to fight, please let me know which character in advance so I can plan NPCs accordingly. Spectating is also fine :)
Out of character, this will also serve as an excuse to practice combat mechanics you might not get the chance to fool around with in your average session. Some fights will intentionally have constraints (like "no healing" or "must wing by ring-out") to encourage exactly that.
I plan to run these every two weeks. Each will be its own posting so I can keep competitors straight :) Unlike most sessions, I'm willing to run these with even just 1-2 players (they'll just be shorter than usual).

By highlighting produce from the forest, gastronomy is becoming a factor advancing the protection of biodiversity.
A listed private reserve which is home to one of the world's richest examples of biodiversity: with 2000 varieties of plants, 130 birds species and 7 lemurs, each day is a love story between the Anjajavy Hotel and its forest. Taking pride of place, the cuisine of the lodge uses organic, wild products, extracted using traditional fishing and farming techniques. Fruit, crabs, shrimp and fish are gathered from the mangrove and forest ecosystems, responsibly using sustainable farming practices, protecting rare species and respecting the regeneration periods of Nature's resources. This exchange between Nature and man, directly benefits the residents of the reserve and gives the villagers a vested interest in its long-term conservation of the ecosystems therein. Gastronomy, direct from Nature, as a force for preservation.

Two companies have offered cheaper flood insurance alternatives to some property owners hit by spiking rates under the National Flood Insurance Program.
Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Co. and The Flood Insurance Agency both aim to be selective in accepting new customers. But each promises to be a bargain, comparatively speaking.
"Our goal here ... is to have these homeowners pay similarly priced rates to what they were paying before Biggert-Waters," said Homeowners Choice vice president Kevin Mitchell, referring to the 2012 law causing some sharply higher rates.
The Biggert-Waters Act calls for stabilizing the national flood program by eliminating subsidies that have benefited owners of older homes in flood zones. In some cases, the subsidizes are being phased out, with annual rate increases near 20 percent.
In certain instances, such as the sale of a property or a lapsed policy, the subsidy is being eliminated immediately, beginning with renewals this month. That has triggered complaints from homeowners who have seen their annual flood insurance premiums spike from the $2,000 range to $14,000 or more in some cases.
While Florida's congressional delegation pushes for a legislative fix, Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty has been trying to induce private insurers to write flood policies.
The two private companies stepping up so far are taking different approaches.
Tampa-based Homeowners Choice, a publicly-traded company with about 140,000 policyholders statewide, wants to add an endorsement to its homeowners policies to include flood coverage. State regulators have to approve its application.
"We want our policyholders to know they are of critical importance to us and key to our decision to offer flood insurance," said Paresh Patel, chairman and CEO of the insurer's parent company, HCI Group. "While we cannot provide a solution to all of Florida, we can -- and will -- try to help our policyholders hit hardest by hefty rate increases under the National Flood Insurance Program. We plan to enter the market cautiously and focus, as we always have, on our strict underwriting guidelines and calculated risk management."
The Flood Insurance Agency, a new firm based in Gainesville, also says it could save customers thousands of dollars compared with National Flood Insurance Program premiums for those who have lost their subsidies.
Its online rate charts show $200,000 of building coverage in a Gulf coastal area would cost $2,970; $250,000 worth of coverage would cost $3,713. Those rates are come with a $5,000 deductible.
The company has been fielding a flurry of phone calls from potential customers since it began offering policies statewide on Wednesday, CEO Evan Hecht said.
The offer is not without risks, however. As a surplus-lines carrier, Hecht's company is not overseen by state insurance regulators and does not need state approval for rate changes.
Hecht said his company is on strong financial footing, backed by underwriters at Lloyd's of London. But unlike state-regulated insurers, surplus carriers have no government back-stop. In other words, if the firm went bankrupt, there is no guarantee claims would be paid.
Policies are being marketed as Lloyd's Private Flood via the website lloydsprivateflood.com.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed conflicted over whether it was legal for Virginia to block out-of-staters from using its Freedom of Information Act to get some of its state documents.
Justices seemed to come down on all sides during arguments over whether Rhode Island resident Mark J. McBurney and California resident Roger W. Hurlbert were illegally blocked from getting public documents in Virginia that in-state citizens could have easily gotten. Virginia's FOIA law limits access to state citizens and some media outlets.
The two men say it is unconstitutional to not allow everyone access to the protections of a state's FOIA law, especially considering the growing commerce potential of public records. Especially affected are data miners, who are disadvantaged by their inability to get information directly from Virginia on their own.
"Most public records requests are commercial requests," lawyer Deepak Gupta said. "It's going to have an effect on most commercial requesters who are out of state."
But Virginia's solicitor general, E. Duncan Getchell, Jr., argued his state has the right to reserve some services and records for its taxpayers, which pay the cost for creating and maintaining public records. Getchell noted that Virginia already limits some things to its own citizens, like in-state tuition at colleges and universities, some business subsidies and welfare payments.
But Justices Anthony Kennedy and Sonia Sotomayor both called Virginia's actions discriminatory during the arguments.
McBurney and Hurlbert, along with data and media companies, challenged the state FOIA law under the Constitution's Privileges and Immunities Clause - which prohibits states from discriminating against out-of-staters in favor of its own citizens - and the Commerce Clause, which prohibits discrimination against interstate commerce. Hurlbert owns Sage Information Services, which obtains public real estate assessments for private clients. McBurney, a former Virginia resident, wanted to get documents from a Virginia child welfare agency involving a child support petition from his divorce from his wife.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond threw this case out, but the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia struck down a similar citizens-only FOIA act in Delaware. Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, New Hampshire and New Jersey also have some form of law limiting access to public records for noncitizens, according to court briefs.
Chief Justice John Roberts noted that it wouldn't cost Virginia that much money to allow out-of-staters to get documents instead of blocking them, saying "It doesn't seem like that big a deal."
He also said that it wouldn't cost out-of-staters that much money to get Virginians to get the documents for them.
"All he has to do is get somebody from Virginia to ask for him," Roberts said.
Justice Antonin Scalia argued that the purpose of FOIA laws was to get people information about how their governments worked, not to get information across state lines. "They don't want outlanders mucking about in Virginia government," Scalia said.
But Justice Elena Kagan noted that the original purpose of the laws has been overtaken by e-commerce. "It does affect out-of-state data collectors," she said.
Getchell said it was an added burden for Virginia to service out-of-staters. "We want to have a very simple system that allows our citizens to make inquiries without a demonstrated need or cause, because we want there to be sunshine," he said.
Roberts shot back: "It's going to be the same system whether you win or lose. "
The justices are expected to rule before the end of the summer.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Ron Barber, D-Tucson, urged Vice President Joe Biden on Monday to incorporate improved mental health care in any gun-control measures the White House proposes to reduce gun violence.
Barber was one of eight House Democrats to meet with Biden, who was charged by President Barack Obama with developing a response to the shooting last month that killed 26 people, most of them children, in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
Barber, who was shot in the January 2011 attack at a Tucson Safeway that killed six and wounded 13, including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, said he is not in favor of banning any specific type of gun.
But he said Monday that watching Jared Lee Loughner spray the crowd with bullets in the Tucson shooting showed him that no one needs the kind of high-capacity magazine that was used in that attack. Barber said he supports a ban on such high-capacity magazines, as well as a call for better background checks on gun buyers.
The Tucson shooting also convinced Barber that better mental health care could prevent a repeat of such incidents. Loughner showed signs of schizophrenia before the attack, but remained undiagnosed.
That spurred Barber last year to introduce the Mental Health First Aid Act, which was focused on university students. The bill died, but Barber plans to introduce a revised version that calls for public servants such as teachers to be trained to recognize symptoms of mental health disorders and to connect those in need with professional help.
Barber said his plan, which he presented to Biden, would be funded through grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to schools and other qualifying organizations. He said his bill was crafted to make the initiative budget-neutral.
The vice president's office had no comment on Monday's meeting, which also included the attorney general and the secretaries of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. But Barber said Biden seemed receptive to his ideas.
"I'm hopeful we will make progress," he said.
The vice president has met in recent days with gun-control and gun-rights groups, lawmakers and representatives of the entertainment and video-game industries and was scheduled to make recommendations this week to the president.
Obama, meanwhile, called on Congress in a televised news conference Monday to come together to consider legislation that would strengthen background checks and ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips.
The president accused gun-control opponents of scare tactics.
"Those who oppose any commonsense gun-control or gun-safety measures have a pretty effective way of ginning up fear on the part of gun owners that somehow the federal government is about to take all your guns away," he said.
But he went on to say that "responsible gun owners, people who have a gun for protection, for hunting, for sportsmanship, they don't have anything to worry about."
Obama said he will present details of a plan later in the week, after meeting with Biden, but he also warned that if Congress does not act he will attempt to make some changes through executive order.

Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall was a heavily guarded police wall in Berlin, Germany that separated Communist East Berlin from democratic West Berlin. It was one of the most visible symbols of the Iron Curtain. The wall was built in 1961 by the government of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) in order to stop the tide of emigration to West Berlin. President Ronald Reagan in 1987 demanded it be torn down, to the astonishment of the world. To even greater disbelief, it was torn down in November 1989, thus ending the Cold War and bringing freedom to East Germany and (within days) to the rest of the satellites in Central Europe which now threw off Communism.
Because of dissatisfaction with the economic and political conditions (forced collectivization of agriculture, repression of private trade, supply gaps), an increasing number of people left the GDR. From January to the beginning of August 1961, about 160,000 refugees were counted.[1] An average of seven people were jailed every day for trying to get out between 1961 and 1989.
Armed guards patrolled the eastern side of the wall. In 1962, Peter Fechter was shot while attempting to cross into West Berlin and slowly bled to death in front of a large crowd,[2] which started a riot and led to Fechter becoming a symbol of resistance against the wall. Onlookers did not attempt to aid Fichte, as they feared the communist guards might fire upon them as well.
The symbolism of the wall as a representative of the divide between capitalism and communism was not lost on American President Ronald Reagan, who, in a famous 1987 speech, urged Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall!" These words proved prophetic, because on November 9, 1989, the German Democratic Republic announced that the border would be re-opened. The wall was promptly destroyed. In the following year, the parliament of the German Democratic Republic voted for reunification and became new states (Bundesländer) of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The Wall was erected overnight on 13–14 August 1961. This was a Saturday night and most Berliners slept while the East German government began to close the border and install barbed wire fences through Berlin. The first concrete sections were installed on 15 August 1961, and over the following few months, the concrete block sections were extended. In June 1962 the wall was further consolidated, and in 1965 the "third generation" of Wall replaced this earlier construction. Consisting of concrete slabs between steel girder and concrete posts with a concrete sewage pipe along the top, this was itself replaced in many areas after 1975 with newer concrete segments which were more resistant to breakthroughs.[3]

East Germany jailed more than 75,000 people who tried to flee to the West across the Wall, and 809 died in escape attempts. Of those who died, 250 were killed at the Berlin Wall itself; 370 died on the border between East and West Germany; and 189 had been trying to get out via the Baltic Sea. Many thousands of East German border guards (Grenztruppen, known colloquially as "Grenzers") also tried to escape, and around 2,500 successfully made it to the West. However, 5,500 were captured in the attempt and received an average jail sentence of five years, compared to civilians who were imprisoned for an average of one or two years.[4]
Historians researching the files of the Stasi found that in 1961 the secret police devoted virtually all of their resources and their 50,000 staff solely to stopping people leaving the country. Anyone thought likely to flee was forcibly moved away from border areas. Other people were encouraged to spy on their friends, neighbours and colleagues and inform on them if they were considering an escape.[5]

The biggest part of wall was destroyed. On the remains of the wall is a luxury housing project planed. Many people are protesting against this plan and think that the section must be saved as a memorial.[6] A piece of the wall is used in Albania for a memorial of political prisoners.[7]

Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney are scouting an unlikely path to the White House through the vast forests and blueberry barrens of northern Maine.
President Barack Obama is expected to win the Pine Tree State easily in the November 6 election.
Regardless, Romney allies are buying TV time with the hope of carrying the state's thinly populated interior and scraping out one electoral college vote in Maine that could edge their man closer to the 270 needed to win the White House.
With polls showing a dead heat nationally, Republicans in the state are focusing their phone calls and door-knocking efforts on the rural north of Maine — one of two states that play by a different set of rules in presidential elections.
Most states give all of their electoral votes to the winner, but Maine and Nebraska award one electoral vote to the winners of each of their congressional districts, two in Maine and three in Nebraska.
The candidate who takes the statewide vote — very likely to be Obama in Maine — receives an additional two electoral votes, meaning there are a total of four up for grabs in Maine.
Although winning just one electoral vote in northern Maine is still a longshot, Maine Republicans are optimistic about Romney's chances. They point to a private poll that found Romney leading Obama by 5 percentage points in the northern part of the state earlier this month, even though he trailed Obama in the state as a whole.
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, said it was possible, if not likely, that Romney could win half the state.
"There's not a lot going on on the ground that would lead you to believe he could do this," Brewer said. "But who knows? Polling is pretty sparse up here."
Republicans certainly think it's possible. "I think it's very likely that he'll win," said David Sorensen, a spokesman for the state Republican party.
The odds seem stacked against Romney, though. Maine has never split its electoral votes and it hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988. A series of polls in September showed Obama leading Romney by double-digit margins statewide.
A bruising, months-long battle within the state party between Romney supporters and backers of libertarian-leaning candidate Ron Paul has also prompted many Republican activists to stay on the sidelines this fall.
"I think Romney will do well, but if they had welcomed the Ron Paul people instead of alienating them like they did it would probably be a sure thing," said Republican activist Chris Dixon, a Paul supporter.
While aides highlight efforts to expand the race into states once thought safe for Obama, like Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Maine hasn't really been on the Romney campaign's radar so far.
Romney himself owns a home in neighboring New Hampshire, and his campaign is based in Boston, an hour's drive from the Maine border. But he hasn't visited the state since last winter.
The election highlights the gulf between what residents call the "Two Maines" — the relatively affluent southern coast and the rest of the state, where opportunities have dwindled amid cutbacks in logging, potato farming and fish canning.
Regional disparities like this normally do not matter in the context of presidential politics because most states award their electoral votes on an all-or-nothing basis.
Obama picked up an additional electoral vote this way in 2008 when he won one congressional district in Nebraska.
Nebraska is not expected to split its votes this year, but Romney's allies seem to like the odds in Maine.
Restore Our Future, an outside group supporting the former Massachusetts governor, spent $300,000 on television advertising in the northern half of the state last week, and plans to spend $490,000 across the state in the final week before the election.
The ads running in the Portland television market reach voters in New Hampshire, but those running in Bangor and Presque Isle are aimed squarely at voters in Maine's second congressional district, which encompasses the state's less affluent half.
Maine Republicans say they are focusing their get-out-the-vote efforts on the second district, and they hope the burst of energy can help them unseat Michael Michaud, the Democrat who represents the region in Congress.
Democrats scoff at this, pointing to their own private polling that shows Obama and Michaud leading handily. The Romney campaign would have a more visible presence in the state if they thought they had a chance, they say.
"We don't see any evidence that this Romney 'head fake' has any basis in reality," said Ben Grant, the state Democratic Party chairman.

A year before Evan Ebel gave prison reformers a good reason to question putting inmates in solitary confinement for long periods, a Colorado prisoner provided fodder for a counter argument.
Disregarding a warning from Arizona prison officials to keep homicidal-inmate Paul Farley away from other prisoners, Colorado officials placed him in a 77-square-foot cell with James Roemer. On June 13, 2012, Farley beat, strangled and asphyxiated Roemer.
Now, Roemer's mother is suing Colorado, claiming that putting her son with the ultra-violent Farley led predictably to his murder. She wants a jury trial and is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
Ebel and Farley represent a small percentage of inmates that prison officials across the nation have no idea how to control:
• Keep them in solitary until they are released on the street.
• To prepare them for release into society, put them with other inmates, where there is chance they will attack correctional officers or cellmates.
Ebel killed Commerce City father of three Nathan Leon and former Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements in March 2013 after spending nearly his entire eight-year prison term in solitary. Farley had previously killed, raped and severely beaten cellmates in an Arizona prison.
Colorado authorities, including Gov. John Hickenlooper and prisons chief Rick Raemisch, have said that one solution is a law that gives officials the option of civilly holding some offenders beyond the end of their sentences if they are deemed too dangerous.
"This is one issue we can continue to explore as we work on the legislative agenda for next session," said Eric Brown, Hickenlooper's spokesman. "Any movement forward would also require discussion with members of the General Assembly."
Dr. Jennifer Bradford, who teaches corrections-related courses at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said such a law is worth considering, given a small percentage of inmates are beyond rehabilitation.
"There is literally nothing we can do with them," Bradford said, referring to inmates like Ebel and Farley. "There is a population that will need to be kept in long-term segregation no matter what."
CDOC spokeswoman Adrienne Jacobson said she could not comment on whether the bill is being written or proposed for the next legislative session.
Any law holding prisoners beyond their sentence term would violate the civil rights of inmates, some legal experts say.
"Our system of justice assigns punishment for what people have done, not for what we think they might do in the future," said Mark Silverstein, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Colorado.
But the momentum in Colorado has shifted away from building more segregation cells for the prison system's most troublesome inmates to moving them out of isolation cells after a set period of time.
Farley may have benefitted from the new policy, according to the federal lawsuit filed last month by Denver attorneys Elisabeth Owen and Jeremy Sitcoff.
When he was transferred from Arizona to Colorado in September 2012 to serve a second conviction, Arizona prison officials "strongly recommended" that he not be held with a cellmate because of the "risk he would harm that person," the lawsuit says.
Farley had sexually assaulted a cellmate after threatening him with a razor blade in 1999; he sliced a second cellmate down the spine with a razor blade in 2000, and while in segregation, he fashioned a noose out of a braided bed sheet, passed the noose to a neighboring inmate who was suicidal and strangled him to death.
Despite Arizona's warnings, Colorado prison officials placed Farley directly in a general population cellblock.
Roemer, a nonviolent inmate, was moved into Farley's cell. In the days before he was killed, he told his case manager that Farley was threatening him and that he feared for his life. He wanted to move.
He was told that CDOC does not make "convenience" moves and that he should "cope," the lawsuit says. Jacobson said she could not comment about the lawsuit.
After a period of six straight days in which inmates were placed in lockdown and forced to remain together all day long, Farley "snapped."
Farley strangled Roemer, who scratched Farley across the chest. Farley then placed a plastic bag with a drawstring over Roemer's head and pulled the drawstring tight. He then wrapped and tightened a belt around Roemer's neck, killing him.

Cook the Book: Giant Crusty and Creamy White Beans with Greens
Healthy and delicious recipes from Serious Eats
In early 2003, Heidi Swanson, an enthusiastic cookbook consumer, made a resolution: "When you own over 100 cookbooks, it is time to stop buying, and start cooking." From that resolution sprang a food blog—one of the earliest, in fact—called 101cookbooks (soon to be followed by Mighty Foods). Things have come full circle, and Heidi finds herself writing cookbooks these days. The recipe that follows is adapted from her latest, Super Natural Foods.
Giant Crusty and Creamy White Beans with Greens
- Yield:6 to 8 as a side dish
- 1/2 pound medium or large dried white beans, cooked (see page 204)
- 3 tablespoons clarified butter or olive oil
- Fine-grain sea salt
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 6 or 7 big leaves chard, preferably rainbow chard, leaves cut into wide ribbons and 1 or 2 stems cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Drain the beans, then heat the butter over medium-high heat in the widest skillet you've got. Add beans to the hot pan in a single layer. If you don't have a big-enough skillet, just do the sauté step in two batches or save the extra beans for another use. Stir to coat the beans with butter, then let them sit long enough to brown on one side, about 3 or 4 minutes, before turning to brown the other side, also about 3 or 4 minutes. The beans should be golden and a bit crunchy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside.
Salt to taste, add the onion and garlic, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, until the onion softens. Stir in the chard, and cook until just beginning to wilt. Remove from heat, and season to taste with a generous dose of salt and pepper. Drizzle with a bit of top-quality extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan.
Note: For a twist on bruschetta, serve the beans over grilled slices of rustic bread rubbed with a clove of garlic and a fragrant extra-virgin olive oil. For a cold-weather option, omit the onions and garlic and instead stir in deeply caramelized onions when you add the chard.

Good Morning Loon 🙂 xxxx
Hey morning Androgoth xxxx lucky it is't the recycling age Fraz …… Just saying
But I'm too young to be recycled!
Good Morning Deb 🙂 xxxx
Careful what you say, right? Hahaha 🙂
Especially around Twink!
Trashed the trasher!
But I didn't deserve it!
Fraz don't forget chocolates and cookies are consumable not disposable.
I won't forget that! I consume them all the time!
Recycle, reuse and re-purpose! 😉
And retrieve me from the trash!
Poor Fraz, just not your day. Here's a big chocolate milkshake waiting for you when you get out.
I can't get out!
Wave your legs back and forth so the trash can will tip over….then crawl out backward.
I'm free!! Yay!
I knew it'd work. Now you can have your treats.
I already had them! I was hungry!
I guess your ready for some more then…..milkshake and brownies coming right up…..there you go
I'm always ready for more! Chris says I must have a hollow leg. Whatever that means.
It sort of mean like having a hole in you foot and the food just fall out of you as fast as it goes in.
OK. I don't really think I have that!
No, you don't, but you just always have more than enough room in your stomach for more and more goodies.
I do! One day I want to be as good at eating as Winky is!
If you drink soda the bubbles from the carbonation will stretch out your stomach making room for more goodies.
OK I'll try that! I wonder if I'll blow up like a balloon?
I don't think so, but you'll stretch that belly out big enough to eat 10 boxes of doughnuts, 17 trays of cookes, 9 tins of fudge and 4 gallons of chocolate ice cream….passing it to you now.
And I did too! I think my stomach's almost as big as Winky's now!
I disagree…that's way funny. Bwahahahahahaha.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
It wasn't very funny to me!
Never throw away a perfectly usable Fraz!
Yeah! I'm still good for lots of stuff!
Fraz I know the feeling… after recycling something I needed.. when it is gone it is gone as you never find it anyway!
I don't think you should recycle people or Wombies!
I guess that's what they call dumpster diving! Now get that MP3 out, too!
I can't breathe!
No problem, someone is sure to pick up Fraz on Freebie Day! 🙂
I'm not free! I'm priceless!
Not a bad idea.
Not for me!
Just as a precaution I am not going to let my wife see this cartoon! W.C.C.
Yeah women get enough ideas on their own!
Fraz, you deserved to go into the trash that time.
This is very funny! Ha!
I didn't think so!
Lol – Another Cartoon in the can!
Yeah but I shouldn't be!
Girls take stuff way too literally. While you're in there Fraz Barry & Cedric wanna know if there anything worth eating?
I did find some blue cheese that had gone bad. Oh wait, blue cheese is already bad!
Hahaha… sometimes I wish to do the same 😉
But not with me!
Hey Peter, I had a lot of fun with Ed on the weekend & decided I couldn't wait till wednesday to post his latest adventure so there's one I'm sure you'll enjoy now posted at Out The Bush
Ha, that's a good one, Tony! Though I think Binky might be a bit jealous that he didn't think of being the Wombinator first.
sometimes the kids now adays need some 80's and 90's in their day.
Yes, most of them could use that!
Twink puts the "dis" in disposable.
And I'm the one who was dissed!
Ah!! now I get it!!
Totally agree with what's Winky had done!!
I didn't deserve it!

Cauliflower With Cumin And Asafetida
I love this simple side dish. They are lovely with some steamed rice and curry too. Well, the original method for the recipe is to cook on a stovetop. Since, I am cooking the curry and to save time, I decided to bake it in the oven instead. Guess what? The result was fantastic!
Recipe adapted from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking
Cauliflower With Cumin And Asafetida
600 g Cauliflower, break into smaller florets
3 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
Generous pinch of ground Asafetida
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
85 g (3 oz) Red Onions, peeled and cut into very fine half-rings
1 Fresh Green Chili, finely chopped
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
1/4 tsp Ground turmeric
1/8-1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
3/4 tsp Sea Salt
2 tsp Lemon Juice
Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C). Toss all the ingredients together, except the lemon juice. Pour into an ovenproof dish and bake for about 25 minutes or until all the cauliflowers are cooked. Mix in the lemon juice before serving.

Whew this and the previous post are just amazing looking!ReplyDelete
Hey Not Another Omnivore, thank you:)ReplyDelete
Hmmm, now I know what I'm doing with the cauliflower tonight - perfect pairing with butter chicken!ReplyDelete
...question about asfetida, I've been told that has a garlic like scent / flavour? Could I substitute the asfetida with garlic powder?
Hey Jessica604, yes, asfetida does have a garlic like scent and I supposed you can substitute with garlic powder instead. Btw, I got the asfetida from an indian grocers at Pemberton Rd, North Vancouver.ReplyDelete
That roasted cauliflower looks really good!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the information Angie! I had felt odd at asking for asafetida along the stores on Fraser / Main street. Chances are it's some completely different name in Punjabi right!ReplyDelete
I made this last night and it was great! I love cauliflower and I love Indian food so it was a sure win. Also loved how pretty it looked out of the oven. Thanks for the recipe!

Hello, its Thursday and I have a vintage quilt to share with you. Hooray!
Many of the quilts I will be sharing (and the block how tos) are from the same lady and are family quilts.
Next week I will be sharing the blocks I made with this pattern. I have a few fabric lines I think I want to use. We have some great text fabric I will be listing today on Etsy and those will be making an appearance for sure!
This quilt uses curved piecing (its not that hard, I promise) and is hand quilted. You can tell that is has been used and loved for a long time.
Come back next week to see my interpretation and more photos of this quilt.
Heather and I have been working on the new shop (right next door). We are having lots of fun playing around with all the vintage goodies and sewing necessities.
Our new hours are:
Tuesday 10-7
Wednesday 10-5
Every third Saturday 9-5
Before I go I have to show you this new line we got in this week, Chillingsworth. Both Heather and I have taken yardage home and are working on fun projects for the shop
