Back in October, fresh off his booksigning at Powell's, Bruce Springsteen stopped by the Tavern & Pool for lunch with his buddy Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club and other works. Sounds like the start of a Portlandia skit, but it actually happened. And one of our T&P regulars, Catherine Graham, was there not just to capture the moment, but in some ways to bring things full circle.Read More
You may have been to Bob's Bar at the Grand Lodge, named for Mike and Brian's dad. And now we have added another Bob into the mix - you can never have too many Bobs.
Below is the original artwork by Jonathan Case, accompanied by the excerpt from the freshly minted Nobel Prize-winner Bob Dylan's book Chronicles, now the name of one of the new guest rooms created as part of the renovation of the building's remarkable (and formerly unfinished) attic space.Read More
Snow and ice are once again forecasted for the greater Portland and Willamette Valley regions later this week. Thanks to all our staff who kept our pubs, hotels, theaters and music venues open during last week's storm - it would be interesting to see how tater tot sales ratcheted up those couple days that schools were closed. (And a special thanks to our staff in Bend, who are probably thinking, "Who cares about snow? What's the big flippin' deal?Jeez.")Read More
There is a new round of coasters out, and here we are to give you a little background on each, before they are set on the tables only to get soggy, stained, shredded, drawn on or collected by the coaster hoarders.
Artist Lyle Hehn designs our coasters, using his own artwork or that of one of his fellow McMenamins artists. Their explanations or inspirtations for the pieces are provided below. Cheers.Read More
Each of these images included in this week's blog is associated with a different McMenamins property. How many can you name?Read More
Every summer around the late Jerry Garcia's birthday, McMenamins celebrates his legacy by throwing a free-wheeling party. It's a wonderful day in tribute to a man who inspired legions of fans with his music. And at Edgefield, we honor Jerry year-round with a 7-foot-tall bronze sculpture in his likeness, a piece that draws his longtime admirers, curious hotel guests and others into its quiet, tree-lined grove just off the Pub Course.Read More
As you may well know, the newly opened Art House at Old St. Francis School celebrates the work of the artists who have lent their talents to our properties, making them come alive with color and history. Here is another of the original murals and accompanying artist's statement, this one from longtime McMenamins collaborator Kolieha Bush.Read More
This Election Day, while we wait to see the results from the ballot boxes, we should remember one of the most well-known sibling rivalries of Pacific Northwest politics. Abigail Scott Duniway and her brother, Harvey W. Scott, who went head to head over women's suffrage in Oregon in the early 20th century. Both of the Scotts have McMenamins hotel rooms named for them - Abigail Scott Duniway at Hotel Oregon (near her Lafayette, OR, community) and Harvey Scott at the Grand Lodge, where he was the first graduate of Pacific University as well as the future editor of The Oregonian.Read More
On Thursday, November 10, we're pleased to host the premiere of OPB's Oregon Experience documentary "Vanport" in the Kennedy School Theater. The event is free and guests of all ages are welcome.Read More
Its quite safe to say that The Freak Mountain Ramblers are an institution in the McMenamins music community. Going into their 12th year as a Great Northwest Music tour regular, not once but twice per season, we wanted to chat with The Freak Mountain Ramblers about how this relationship came to be, and to rehash some great memories they've made with us over the years.Read More
Last Wednesday, 10/19/16, was a strange, unnerving and destructive day in Northwest Portland. A natural gas explosion caused extensive damage, but fortunately (and amazingly) no lives were lost. Credit for that goes to the quick, thorough action of first responders, who evacuated everyone from multiple buildings at the intersection of NW 23rd Ave. & Glisan St. The Rams Head, of course, is just at the other end of the block, but luckily all of our staff there is fine, and the pub sustained only minimal damage. We're already back open for business!Read More

For more than a decade, Mary Topogna had a shop on NE Killingsworth in Portland called Hail Mary. It was a local institution in the neighborhood. A 2011 article in Portland Monthly said:
With her mosaics, Tapogna makes magic of the discarded bits of everyday items that the rest of us would toss in the trash. For instance, broken plates and cups, like the pieces I sweep up in my kitchen periodically, one of my foibles being a propensity to break my favorite china and glassware (not on purpose). I should drop them off at Hail Mary...
On Sunday, October 16, as part of the Art Pub Series, the Mission Theater will host the King of Indie Animation Bill Plympton. Not only will he screen his brand new short, Cop Dog, along with other selected shorts (a.k.a. Plymptoons)., but he'll hand out a free sketch to each attendee! Pretty cool. Tickets are just $10, on sale now at etix.com.Read More
On Thursday, October 6, the Kennedy School Theater is hosting the Portland premiere of the documentary Bridging Urban America about world-renown civil engineer and bridge architect Ralph Modjeski. Among his many structural feats are the Oakland Bay Bridge in San Francisco, the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia and Portland's own Broadway Bridge.Read More
Edgefield Winery's 2015 Poor Farm Pinot Gris is soon to be released, and this year, the label features this work by Lyle Hehn, called Match in the Attic, which is installed at Anderson School in Bothell.
The women shown were based on three of the four daughters of Ben Boone (also pictured below), whose phenomenal story includes links to frontiersman Daniel Boone, cattle-rustling during the 1890s Gold Rush, legendary author Jack London, Mike and Brian's grandfather Charlie Wentworth, rodeos on the Squak Slough and 85 cases of whiskey.

We are in the process of updating and compiling history sheets for all our properties, and last week I was able to spend some time in Sherwood, OR. Not only is it the site of our Sherwood Pub but it's the source of some really fantastic old stories.
This idyllic little bedroom community southeast of Portland was named by Money magazine as "among the top 50 best places to live in the United States" in 2013. But back in the late 1800s, things were different - Sherwood (originally referred to as Smockville) was considered "a tough town," with "rowdyism and drunkenness," a place where "gunplay was not unusual and street brawls were common."
Read on for a great story from 1890, one that would lend itself quite well to an original painting by a McMenamins artist...Read More
As you probably know, each room at the new Art House at Old St. Francis School is named for the title of a painting done by one of the artists who have lent their talents to McMenamins properties.
Artist Damian Zari has a wonderful and distinctly different style from what we are used to seeing at our properties – for example, he uses an air brush to spray the paint onto his canvas (whether the canvas be a wall, a piece of fabric or the human body). Below is the piece he did for the Art House, his summary of his influences for the work, and his bio.
On Saturday, 9/10, all are welcome to the 10th Annual Slabtown Festival, celebrating the history of this NW Portland neighborhood It's a big day -- and all big days deserve a parade, some beer and a healthy dose of history.Read More
Anyone out there familiar with the Ramona Quimby books? Yeah, we thought so.
Since school is starting back up in just a couple weeks, this month's History Pub at the Old Church in Wilsonville is geared toward kids, including kids-turned-adults, about beloved author and McMinnville native Beverly Cleary's Oregon.Read More
Here is another piece written for the Anderson School in Bothell, WA, about an intriguing character named Nicholas Oeconomacos. (First things first - it's pronounced: uh-con-uh-MOCK-us)
Oeconomacos was an elite musician who played for kings and queens and lords and ladies in celebrated venues around the world. So how did he end up in Bothell, WA? Read on...Read More
Here's the story of another Irishman (along with his predecessors Father Luke Sheehan and Father Dominic O'Connor) who made his way around the globe to St. Francis School in central Oregon -- and then nearly burned the place down, minutes after his arrival. Today, Father Bill Coughlan has a room named after him in the new Ed House in Bend.Read More
Imagine moving to a new place and literally having to hack and chop your way through the woods with axes in order to get your car (or, in the case here, a team of oxen) to the road (in this case, river) so you can go grocery shopping, visit friends or make it to the doctor. David and Mary Ann Bothell, namesakes of Bothell, WA, did just that and more as pioneers of the Sammamish River settlement.Read More
In just a few weeks, we open the Art House at Old St. Francis School, where each room is named for the title of a painting done by one of the artists who have lent their talents to McMenamins properties. Each artist was asked to paint a mural that represents his or her experiences or inspirations from working with McMenamins. Below, read about Olivia Behm's contribution as well as her journey as an artist with the company.

Have you heard of the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"? Invented by three college kids in 1994, the premise of this parlor/drinking game is to find the shortest path between an arbitrary actor and prolific character actor Kevin Bacon. (For examples, see The Oracle of Bacon.) While we don't have a Bacon connection (that we know of at the moment, still working on that), we did discover a connection between McMenamins and . . . THE BEATLES.
Boom. [mic drop] * Yes, we are well aware that Ringo Starr has played at Edgefield. That counts; but keep reading...
Next month, we open the Ed House at Old St. Francis School, in which each room commemorates a teacher or educator from the former St. Francis School. And the month after that, we fling open the doors of the Art House, where each room is named for the title of a painting done by one of the artists who have lent their talents to McMenamins properties.
Each artist was asked to paint a mural that represents his or her experiences or inspirations from working with McMenamins. Below is just one example of the lovely pieces that will adorn the Art House - Brenna White's personal interpretation of longtime McMenamins artist Lyle Hehn's signature style and work, along with her description of the panel and biography.Read More
Outdoor concert season has begun -- to quote Max, king of all wild things, "And now, let the wild rumpus start!" We are heading into our 11th season of Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn, with this summer's shows kicking off this weekend. But did you know that the original series started way back in 1994?
Recently, a Facebook fan of McMenamins History commented on a photo of a '94 Edgefield Concerts poster: "I went to Indigo Girls! I've been looking to purchase this poster!!!!" So we sent her a vintage poster, in exchange for her memories of that show for the history archives.Read More
Our new Ed House at Old St. Francis School is scheduled to open July 1. The 17 lodging rooms are named in honor of inspiring teachers from the school's past, including one for Fr. Luke Sheehan, already the namesake of our Father Luke's Foundation Room.Read More
McMenamins photographer Kat Nyberg had the opportunity to sit down with Saint Motel before their show at Crystal Ballroom on Saturday for a fun, spontaneous interview and photo shoot. Find out why the Crystal is one of their favorite venues, where babies come from, and other interesting topics. It was an amazing show for everyone, and the interview was a fun bit of spontaneity for both Kat and the band.
Thanks for a great night guys!

This is an emotionally difficult story to read, but ultimately a positive and rewarding one. McMenamins artist Jonathan Case, whose work is shown below, lost his child several months ago. Otis was just 20 months old when he had an unexpected seizure and passed away in the hospital on January 21, 2016. As a tribute to their son, Otis's mom Sarah Zollner Case launched a powerful movement of generosity in their son's name, a wave of kindness that has since traveled far and wide over social media.

One of our rooms at the Anderson School in Bothell, WA, is named for a colorful character named Elmer Carlberg. Born into what were still frontier conditions in the years just after Washington gained statehood, Elmer would live long enough to bear witness to the futuristic Space Age of the 1960s and beyond - always keeping an eye on the past.Read More

This week, we are hosting the next installation of the Art Pub series at the Mission Theater: "SPILL: Excerpts from the Original Theatrical Production."

Last year, we organized the monthly Paranormal Pub series at the Mission Theater, co-sponsored by the Oregon chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, as a way to help promote our annual UFO Festival (coming up on May 12-15 at Hotel Oregon). Along with UFOs, aliens, abduction experiences and more, the Paranormal Pub series focuses on "other topics and phenomena not currently part of consensus scientific knowledge and belief" - like ghosts!Read More
Born to a pioneer Washington lumber family, Harold "Pop" Keeney would in turn, become a pioneer in his own right. With a coaching career spanning nearly thirty years, Keeney (and the Keeney name) became synonymous with Bothell and Northshore regional sports. Once heralded "as the finest and smartest high school coach in the state," Pop had more trick plays up his sleeve than a big top circus magician. His mastery of game tactics won him a devoted following from fans and team members alike, and it was his boundless energy and love for the game that helped him take his teams to numerous titles. His namesake, Pop Keeney Stadium, rising just behind Anderson School, is a lasting tribute to this most special and resourceful man.Read More

Ruby's 30th birthday is this coming Monday, March 21. This light, fruity, raspberry beer is one of our best-selling recipes. Who among us hasn't heard from a guest or customer at least once, "I love Ruby!" Thanks for that, and CHEERS! In 1986, McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House became the first brewery in the Pacific Northwest to legally use fruit in the brewing of ales.Read More
Beginning in the late 1800s, the coastal enclave of Gearhart, OR, was a favorite home-away-from-home for many Portlanders, as well as those from Salem, Olympia, Seattle and beyond. Rustic cabins next to elegant Victorians and fancy resorts (precursors to our own Gearhart Hotel), a pleasant summer climate and a wide stretch of sand dune-fronted beach made it an ideal spot for those who had the means to support multiple households and months-long getaways.Read More
Hooray, the stout is out! Today marks the annual release of our McMenamins Irish Stout, on tap now through the end of the month.
From the McMenamins brewers themselves: "McMenamins Irish Stout is made as traditionally as possible with our own little twist. It is a very dark, ebony-colored stout with a thick, creamy and long-lasting head. The flavor is a fantastic fusion of coffee-like roasted barley bitterness and semi-sweet chocolate. A moderate hop bitterness balances pleasingly with this hearty backbone, while tiny nitrogen bubbles enhance the sensation on your taste buds with a smooth, silky creaminess."Read More
At the corner of Main and what is today's 102nd Ave. NE in downtown Bothell, there stands a towering fir tree. This fixture has stood since the 1800s, a witness to a population booms, a survivor of Bothell's series of devastating fires in the early 1900s and a calm observer of the community's rapid growth and development.Read More
On May 12-15, we'll hold the 17th Annual UFO Festival at Hotel Oregon in McMinnville. The city's parade, live music and tin-foil-covered-people-watching are undeniably exceptional. But it's the presentations by leading scientists, investigators and experiencers from around the world that have garnered great respect and praise, resulting in a growing reputation for the overall event as one of the most well-balanced, open-minded UFO conferences in the nation.Read More
On Thursday, January 28, not one but two members of Jefferson Airplane passed away - Paul Kantner and Signe Toly Anderson, both 74 years old. Anderson was raised in Portland and sang lead vocals on the band's debut album, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off (1966). Shortly thereafter, she decided that life on the road was not for her and her newborn baby (with husband Jerry Anderson, one of the Merry Pranksters). She also had concerns about the record contracts the band was being offered by RCA Records.Read More
"I wanted to share with you all the lovely experience I had with Mary Sligh, the widow of Willie Sligh whose portrait I did for the project. She saw that I had done a painting of her husband and sent me an email to thank me and tell me how much it meant to her and her family to remember Willie in this way. We exchanged emails and I gave her a print of the painting, then she sent me this picture of Willie's son standing in front of his Dad's painting at McMenamins! What a great validation of how the Bothell project (as well as all McMenamins) has and will continue to touch so many people!"Read More
History Pub. Classical Pub. Paranormal Pub. And now Art Pub. The Pacific Northwest is rich with artistic culture and legacy - to name just a few, glass artist Dale Chihuly, figurative abstractionist Mark Rothko, cartoonist Matt Groening, modern dancer Bonnie Bird (from Bothell, WA, and a classmate of another famous dancer, Merce Cunningham, who was from Centralia, WA).Read More
Today a remarkable life is given a deserving spotlight, Benjamin F. McAdoo, Jr. He was an innovative, award-winning architect who helped design the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, a leading Seattle Civil Rights leader, and friend of the first ambassadors from the first independent Black African nation. During his most active professional years, Ben McAdoo and his wife lived in Bothell and their kids attended Anderson School! A guest room at McMenamins Anderson School is named in his honor and below is the write-up that celebrates his far-reaching achievements.Read More
It was Thursday, May 29, 2008. Former Mission manager Mike Wyant recalled recently:
"We sold around 150 tickets. Capacity was 400. She was a very sweet woman and blew us all away with her voice. I remember the cleaning crew was there and her bass player asked if they could have a closed sound check. I said no because we didn't have a place to send the cleaners."Read More

As if we needed any more reason to vote for Obama, the hypocrisy of the John McCain camp has been revealed again. And again, and again again. Everywhere you turn you see a video of John McCain contradicting what he has previously said, reaffirming the belief of the vast majority of Americans that McCain panders to whatever interest group he's currently courting, and will heed no conscience in his efforts to sieze the White House.
McCain recently distanced himself after McCain Campaign Senior Advisor Charlie Black made the disgusting albeit accurate statements about a terrorist attack on American soil having palpable benefits for McCain's chances. Naturally people will believe that the war-mongering hate machine GOP can retaliate against such an attack on the US. What kid in school is the best at fighting? The bully. He isn't respectable, honorable, or intelligent by any means, but big fists and a bigger temper put the bully at top seed.
God knows McCain has the temper.
But what you probably didn't know is that McCain himself sported those exact same sentiments when George W. Bush was running for re-election in 2004.
U.S. Sen. John McCain, campaigning in southwestern Connecticut on Saturday, said Osama bin Laden's video message to Americans will likely energize President Bush's re-election campaign.
"I think it's very helpful to President Bush," said McCain, R-Ariz., while stumping in Stamford for U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays. "It focuses America's attention on the war on terrorism. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but I think it does have an effect." [AP, 10/30/04]
And then again in the primary season when he and Black both proposed that the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, former Pakistani prime minister, boosted them amid the final run to the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary. (Benazir Bhutto was a visionary in Pakistan; a true champion of Democracy in a region stocked with Theocracy and Dictatorships.)
Luckily for us, the transparency of this year's election process is far more effective than previous years. Well, I suppose you'd say that's because it's more transparent. Obama's finances are completely wholesome and visible; all of his support comes from individual donors (for the most part; I won't claim to know all about his financing) whereas John McCain will proudly herald his 527's and his PACs and special interests. And then say, naturally, that Obama is 'Dr. No' because he doesn't agree directly with McCain's proposals, proposals which directly benefit the lobbyist company McCain keeps.
McCain's pandering to oil companies; repeatedly opposes new investments and incentives for better energy technology, until this week when energy came to the forefront and he offered 300 million taxpayer dollars to someone who can find technology that oh, by the way, has already been found and developed. Good job! Add that to your 'Dr. No' reference and the 2004 campaign where he called himself 'Luke Skywalker in the Deathstar'… another 30 year old flick. Change with the times, McCain…
But I digress. Today in the news, Republican Mit Romney decided to have a good gaffe on national television.
When Charles Roberts of CNN asks him about the claim that Barack Obama is completely partisan, and incapable of bipartisan efforts, he states that all the issues that Obama has crossed party lines on are liberal agendas. Omgosh! We here in the liberal blogosphere hate those. Especially when those liberal agendas are non-proliferationism and fuel economy standards! Well, yeah, I guess fuel economy standards are pretty liberal… since Big Oil would suffer, and conservatives fit nicely in the pocketbooks of Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, and BP.
But non-proliferationism? Sounds a lot like national security to me. And who better for National Security than the American Bullies? I thought that was a pretty conservative issue that McCain prides himself on being the best at. And now Mit Romney threw the towel in and handed the trophy to the Democrats. Go Romney! We liberal Dems love a good victory.

The practice of paying for a celebrity to endorse your product or service via microblogging service Twitter has come under the spotlight with the news that the Office of Fair Trading is launching an investigation.
The OFT's investigation into Handpicked Media, a commercial blogging outfit, brought with it an announcement from the watchdog group that the failure to disclose that payment has taken place in exchange for an endorsement breaks fair trading rules: "This includes comments about services and products on blogs and microblogs such as Twitter."
The Guardian, which was the first to spot the OFT's announcement on Sunday, claims that celebrities can earn a surprising amount of cash for a simple 140-character endorsement of a company's products - up to £1,900 per tweet in the case of rapper Snoop Dogg, who boasts 2,434,138 followers on the service at the time of writing.
Under US law, such messages of endorsement must include 'AD' or 'SPON' - to indicate an advertisement or sponsorship respectively - but at the present time there is no such equivalent in UK trading law.
With social networking experts proclaiming Twitter, with its vast number of highly engaged users and instantaneous feedback mechanisms, as the next big thing in Internet advertising and branding, the OFT's decision in this case could have major repercussions for the industry.
Twitter's own advertising system, known as Promoted Tweets, is thought to already adhere to the Office of Fair Trading's rules by including a message at the base of each paid-for tweet stating the name of the company that is funding the posting. Third-party services however, such as that offered by social advertising specialist Ad.ly, could find themselves at risk if they don't change their methods of operation.

This gluten free cheese blintz is perfectly elegant, delicious and you will be hooked after the first taste. Not only does this gluten free blintz recipe work for breakfast, but it's also fantastic for brunch or any other event. I can't wait to share this with you because it is one of my families favorites!
The exterior of the blintz is crispy while the inside is filled with sweet ricotta cheese and jam. Every nibble you take is delectable and leaves you wanting more. If you want to try another traditional recipe, give this Gluten Free Sufganiyot recipe a try!
I am so excited to share a version of my grandmother's cheese blintz with you. When our family first began the journey of gluten free living, I thought I would never get to enjoy a cheese blintz again. I am so glad that I was wrong!
You will find that eating gluten free is becoming more natural due to the fact that there are so many food options available. The Ultimate Walmart Gluten Free Shopping Guide and Gluten Free Costco Guide are two useful tools to get you started.
When we were little we would visit my grandparents in Florida. My grandmother was an incredible cook. It was frustrating that she never wrote down her recipes, and it left my mother and me to try to figure out what was in each recipe. Some of my favorites were her Homemade Chicken Soup and her Cabbage Rolls.
If you are not familiar with a cheese blintz, you may wonder what it is.
What Is Cheese Blintz?
A cheese blintz is similar to a thin pancake that has a crispy exterior and sweet interior. Once you fill and fold the blintz, you fry it in light oil to add a slight crispiness to the blintz. The blintz is filled with sweetened cheese and can be sweet or savory.
They have a delightful flavor and are usually served for breakfast or brunch, but can be eaten any time of day. You can serve them warm or cool.
What Is The Difference Between A Blintz And A Crepe?
This is another question that is common. The main difference between a blintz and a crepe is that a blintz is more like a thin pancake. A crepe is light and even more delicate. A blintz is filled with a blend of sweet cheese such as mascarpone, ricotta, or cottage cheese while crepes are filled with different ingredients like bananas, Nutella, or strawberries.
Another difference is that a blintz is fried in a pan, so it has a crispy outer layer. Both crepes and blintz can be filled with sweet or savory foods.
If you want to make some crepes, you should look at my gluten free crepes recipe here. These crepes are also dairy free!
Can you make this blintz recipe dairy free?
You can make this cheese blintz recipe dairy free, though you will need to experiment with the dairy free cheeses to find the one you like best. The actual blintz pancake is already dairy free…so check out dairy free cheeses by Daiya and Kite Hill.
If you love this gluten free cheese blintz recipe you should check out these other tasty treats:
- Gluten Free Vanilla Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
- Gluten Free Cheese Danish
- Simple Gluten Free Cinnamon Crumb Cake
- Homemade Gluten Free Blueberry Cobbler
I know I have a lot of readers who like to meal prep, so here are a few tips:
Can I Make Gluten Free Blintz Ahead Of Time?
Yes, you can make gluten free blintz ahead of time and eat them later. Wrap each blintz separately in plastic wrap or parchment paper and place in an airtight container. You want to wrap them, so they do not stick together. They will last in the refrigerator for approximately five days.
Additionally, you can freeze the blintz too. You can flash freeze them by placing the blintz on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they do not touch each other. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours. After they are frozen, you can move them to a freezer bag or plastic container with a lid. This cheese blintz recipe will last around a month in the freezer.
How Do I Reheat Cheese Blintz?
There are a couple of methods to reheat cheese blintz. You can microwave the blintz by covering it with a damp paper towel and heating for 15 seconds on high. The way I prefer is to reheat them in a skillet with a little bit of cooking spray, coconut oil or butter. Use medium heat and turn them as needed. They will not take a long time to reheat, so you will want to pay close attention to them, so they don't burn.
Lastly, you can bake the cheese blintz at 350 degrees for 10 – 15 minutes if they have been frozen. If they are thawed, it will only take 5-10 minutes in the oven.
Optional Filling and Topping Ideas:
You can make these gluten free cheese blintz exactly as the recipe instructs and they will be amazing! If you want to add some extra ingredients or just make a change here are some ideas:
- Honey – drizzle honey over the finished blintz for a little extra sweetness.
- Whipped topping – adding whipped topping is an extra special idea for a birthday breakfast or just because.
- Fresh Fruit – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches are just a few of my favorites.
- Vegetables – if you are looking to make the blintz savory, add in some spinach, onions, chives, mushrooms or any other veggies you enjoy.
- Nutella, or another chocolate spread

How to make gluten free cheese blintz:
The first step is to add your dry ingredients to a bowl. Whisk to blend.
Add your wet ingredients to a smaller bowl and whisk to blend.
Pour your wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Whisk the wet and dry ingredients until you get a nice creamy batter. You will want to whisk hard to get the lumps out. This is what your blintz batter will look like.
Heat a pan and add a little coconut oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
Add one soup ladle full of gluten free blintz batter. Rotate the pan around so the whole bottom of the pan is covered. Cook for 3 minutes until you see bubbles, then flip the blintz over to cook the other side. Repeat this process until all of the batter is used.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta, lemon juice, vanilla, and sugar.
Put a blintz onto a plate and add the cheese mixture.
Add jam or fresh fruit to the cheese mixture.
Fold over one side of the blintz. Next, fold over the two sides on top of the first fold. Last, fold the blintz over the last side. Heat a little coconut oil in a pan.
Pan fry the blintz in the hot oil for 4 minutes per side.
Dust the blintz with powdered sugar and enjoy warm!

One of my friends here works in a call center. A lot of the students we know do as well. It's a stressful job. In fact, I've decided it's kind of my worst nightmare job. If someone sat me down in front of a phone and told me that I would be answering back-to-back customer service calls in SPANISH I would run. Answering customer service calls in my native language would be no picnic, I'm sure. In Spanish? Just fire me now because I'm not going to be a service to anyone.
So, the job sucks, I have been told. It's stressful. The shifts are either start or end at abysmal hours. The pay is…eh. Still, for my friend Ivonne, she of the flawless English, soothing voice, and financially struggling family, it's not a terrible option.
I was grilling her this morning about the ins and outs of answering calls, because I think it's so interesting. She works on a hotel reservation account. She told me about the scripts they use, about the times when English words eluded her in moments of nervousness, and about the notes she has to type up before the next caller pops into her headset. Mostly though, she enjoys the work. It's not hard to imagine why. She's just the sort of capable, kind person I'd want sorting out my hotel reservation.
The other day, she accidentally forgot to hit the hold button after she hit the mute button while she worked on a woman's issue. This meant that as Ivonne looked up room fares she heard the woman talking to someone else in the room.
"I think I got an Indian," the woman on the other line said. Ivonne recounted the story simply, and without anger or mockery. "So for the whole call I was very polite. I told her, 'I want to help you with this,' and 'I'm working on your issue and it will be just another moment,'" Ivonne told me. I shook my head in disbelief. Towards the end of the call, Ivonne overheard the woman telling the other person that the Indian girl was actually really helpful.
I swallowed hard, pushing down all the angry, sarcastic comments I wanted to offer in support. Ivonne had done the kind thing, and I would try to follow her example. Instead, I'll use my teeny, tiny platform here and say: be nice. Be nice to people on the phone who are doing their best to help you. You have no idea what their story is. Most likely, their doing the best they possibly can with the opportunities presented to them. I don't care what your political views on customer service outsourcing are, there is a human on the other end of the line who could likely use some kindness and respect.
Also, she's SALVADORAN.

(p. 245) The New Baby: Getting to Know Your Baby
(p. 245) The New Baby: Getting to Know Your Baby
Your baby is different from any other baby that's ever been born. Isn't that interesting!
You'd hardly think it possible, considering that just flesh and bones go to make a body, and any face has but two eyes, a nose and a mouth. How ever can there be room for millions and millions of babies each one unlike any other? Yet, it's so; even twins who look alike are never exactly alike in temperament.
Of course, people who are not used to babies find it difficult to distinguish one baby from another, but you as a mother would have no trouble if you had to pick out your baby from a number of babies, that is, once you have had the chance to hold him and to feed him. In other words, it comes naturally to you to get to know your baby, and you start right away after you have recovered from labour.
I would like to be able to help you start to get to know your baby, not so much quickly as accurately. Quickly is all right, and it's certainly fun to study the very early steps, but the really helpful thing is to be able to observe what there is to observe accurately and to keep this distinct from what you can imagine.
You can imagine all sorts of things. For instance, many newborn infants look wise, and they look as if they are lying in their cots wondering what the world will be like. There is no harm in our enjoying these ideas of ours, but we really know, don't we, that babies are not either wise or philosophical, and they have not yet the knowledge of the world which they would need in order to think out whether it's a good or a bad place to be born into. Good and bad don't begin to have any meaning for them till they are some weeks or months old.
It seems to me to be perfectly sensible to weave fantasies round babies, but as you can do this better than I can I'll leave you to it. I'm more likely to help you to see the facts, and these are quite interesting.
Babies are all the time developing, and they can be said to be developing in four ways. Firstly, they are growing physically: their bodies are using food, and in a most complex way building up bones and muscles and brains, and all other kinds of tissues. Secondly, they are developing skills, such as the ability to follow a light, to recognize a face, to smile at someone, to kick in the bath, to sit, to catch hold of objects, later on to stand, to walk, and to feed themselves. It's (p. 246) very interesting to compare infants with each other in these respects, because they differ greatly from each other; some walk at ten months, while others don't even sit at their first birthday, and don't walk till they are a year and a half old.
Closely bound up with this matter of skill is the development of intelligence. Here again, there are wide variations. Some babies develop obvious intelligence early, being able to learn from experience, to adapt themselves to the demands of reality, to understand mother's point of view. In contrast, other babies develop their attributes slowly, spending most of their time asleep, or apparently dreaming or thinking, and yet they can have as good a capacity for being clever eventually as have the others who show early cunning. People tend to be very pleased when babies come on fast, but I'm not one for saying that speed of development is either good or bad. I suppose the trouble is people tend to fear their child may be mentally defective until they see clear signs that [illegible text] is working well, so they like to see evidence of intelligence as soon as possible.
I've spoken of bodily development, of the development of skills, and of intelligence. The fourth kind is the development of personality. This last is by far the most interesting to watch, and it is just here that babies are especially individual and unalike. I'll go into this a little.
In this talk I can only deal with the beginnings. In the first stage of personality development, your baby is only starting to be knit together into a whole person. You're getting to know him as a human being, but he doesn't know himself yet. Let's try and see what it feels like to be a baby. It can't really be put into words, but let me say that as he lies in his cot he's a bit of skin that's itching, he's a pair of eyes watching a moving curtain, he's a colicky pain, an appetite. In the same way you are a face, a shadow, a way of handling him, a bath, a towel, a rocking movement. He's not yet become one whole person, nor are you one whole person to him. He's just a collection of feelings, bits of what will one day become himself, and you, for him are bits of what he will one day piece together and call 'mother'.
How tremendously important it must be in these first days and weeks of his life that you look after him yourself, so that he experiences no unnecessary complications! Several faces, a varying bathing technique, dissimilar toilet routine, if these complications can be avoided they are avoided with advantage. (I knew a baby who was seriously disrupted by the fact that mother was left handed while mother's mother, who also looked after him, was right handed.)
You may well ask what brings about this process, eventually, whereby the baby feels he's one whole person and feels you are a whole person too? This takes place in the course of time through the ordinary repeated experiences of infant life. Because of this mothers find themselves setting up an ordered routine, and sticking to it. There quickly comes into existence a sequence of feeding, bathing, napkin-changing and sleeping, and this is the basis of nursery life. And mothers take infinite pains to see that complications don't muddle (p. 247) things up. If the door bangs on two occasions just as baby is going for the nipple the baby naturally concludes that this going-for-what-you-want gives a pain in the ears, and he goes off feeding. So you shut the door carefully, and in many other ways you see that the general atmosphere round the early feeds is calm and controlled. Only against this background of monotony can you safely and usefully add your daily dose of personal richness.
These repeated experiences of your management gradually gathers him together into a person. But also there are the acute experiences which involve the whole baby, such as excitement over feeding. Just as a baby feels gathered together when you lift him up, so he comes together when he gets hungry, and goes for your breast, swallows the milk and digests it in his tummy. The feeding affects his whole body, and this helps make him feel he's one person. Even rage can be valuable in the same way, since a baby in a rage is, for the time being, pulled together into one person by his rage. When he recovers, he goes back again into a state of peace and of not minding much if he's one person or many bits. You might feel sorry for him, but on the whole he won't mind being in bits as long as from time to time he comes together; but we grown-ups get an awful feeling of madness, when through tiredness or illness we feel ourselves disintegrating, going back into the state that we were naturally in, after birth, we call 'going to pieces' and 'not being all there'.
At this early time, your baby is also discovering his own body. As he begins to become a person he begins to know that he has skin, and how nice it is to be warm. He knows that he can be hurt, and begins to distinguish pin-pricks that can be got away from, from colics that have to be endured till they go. He finds he can satisfy himself quite a lot with his own fist or finger when he suddenly wants a feed and he can't get anyone to come to the rescue quickly enough. By the age of six months he may know that what he gets rid of he has previously eaten, but by this time he is a long way on in his development, well beyond the early stages I am describing today.
In these very early stages your baby is also coming to terms with reality. In this task you have already started him off well if you and he have clicked with each other over feeding. I want to explain what I mean. Just having the will to feed your baby isn't enough, you've got to live an experience with him to bring about that human tie which is the first in the baby's life and which is so important for all his future. In fact there are two distinct things that have to be brought together. He's hungry and has ideas. You are real and have food ready. He's in need of something, and at that moment you come along with breast or bottle and good milk. But it's touch and go whether he'll feel that what you have is what he has in his mind to want. Only you can manage this tricky moment with him. Forcing is useless and harmful. But suddenly it works, the baby accepts your breast as the thing he wants to attack, and through this and its frequent repetition he gradually gains confidence in the likelihood of his being able to find in the real world the things he acutely needs.
(p. 248) Some babies never satisfactorily solve this problem of cooperation with mother; the two never hit it off. Perhaps they may manage with a bottle instead of the breast, but often a baby loses almost all zest for food and mechanically takes just enough to keep body and soul together. Another will take well, but in a spirit of compliance rather than of healthy greed, fitting in with mother's offer of good things, but never really feeling that what he gets is what he wants.
[Missing text] … holding yourself in readiness for days did you feel that you and the baby had come to terms, and that he had started to accept you as the object of his primitive greedy love.
Now what is it that I am saying? I'm trying to make it clear that very early after birth, before a baby has the ability to know you, to be pleased when you come and to be sad when you go, and before he starts to have fears and guilt feelings, he needs you terribly much. At this very early stage he needs the simplest possible environment, to be protected from complications that he cannot yet understand and allow for. You are more likely than anyone else to feel this is worth doing. To do this you don't have to be clever. You only have to be able to be natural and interested in your baby because he's yours. If you have it in you to be possessive, now's your chance.
Looking at it this way, you simply won't allow a neighbour to rush in on you when you're feeding your infant, or when you are in the middle of the routine of changing him. You simply won't allow all and sundry to have a go at bathing him. At first you will do as much as you can yourself, till the infant has had enough of you to begin to build you up as a collection of experiences with which he comes to connect your face. If you feel like yourself doing all you can you will reap a reward later on.
If you feel your baby is someone you like getting to know, you are on the right track all along. You are there with your warmth and strength and generosity, and there too is the baby with his growing needs. You and he may form a partnership which is valuable to both of you, but for this to happen you have to find each other. And as the baby is in a primitive state of development and you are mature, it must be you who at first makes the relationship possible by your patience and tolerance and your understanding of what is happening.
It is the same with training him to be clean as it is with feeding. You can train almost any baby at first by regular holding out, but this is not very valuable. Sooner or later you will have to see your baby's point of view on the subject. Sometimes he feels like cooperating, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he has a good reason for being in a mess. At other times he likes to please you or to give you something; and sometimes he's scared of what comes out of him and wants it taken away quickly. If you are enjoying getting to know your baby you will find out all these thing as you go along.
Some people will tell you everything depends on your starting off on the cleanliness-is-next-to-godliness principle, and they will tell you to act according to rules, and to make the baby obey these rules. Be sure these people don't (p. 249) know babies; and they certainly don't know your infant, for you are the only person who has had a chance to get to know him. He needs you as a person, not as a set of rules and regulations. Guiding rules are a help, but each baby needs someone who knows him and who is interested in his point of view. Gradually your infant will become interested in your point of view too, but the foundation for this is your getting to know him, and so being able to wait for what is so much more valuable than goodness and compliance, the baby's own gradually developing sense of minding what results from his actions and thoughts.

Vandalizing of synagogue brings back painful memories for Holocaust survivor
Seeing a swastika painted on his synagogue wall brought back painful memories for Holocaust survivor Edward Fisch.
"Every time I see a swastika, I think of the Nazis marching up and down the street and grabbing people and shooting people and killing people," Fisch said outside North York's Beth Tikvah synagogue the morning of Friday, Aug. 5.
"It just brings back terrible, terrible memories, even though I was just a kid."
Vandals used a stencil to spray paint a black and red swastika on the synagogue Thursday afternoon. The words "Islam will rule" was spray painted below the Nazi symbol.
"I don't know what to say. It's just so ugly, so ridiculous," Fisch said. "I truly don't know why they do this. It is just so hurtful."

#65: Skeletor. From the film, Masters of the Universe, Frank Langella's portrayal of Skeletor was a bright spot in this largely forgettable film that I loved as a kid. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was one of my very favorite cartoons, and while I did enjoy the movie, it was not nearly as faithful to the source material as I would have liked. Even at a young age, I clearly had the soul of an internet commenter. This reimagining of Skeletor was still effective, however, regardless of the lack of the nasally, high voice and the fact that he wasn't just a floating, hooded skull with a massively ripped body.

The Last Starfighter Is Dead
Day 64: Xur. A Rylan, having betrayed The Star League and his father, Enduran, Xur took command of the Kodan Armada, intending to become the Emperor of Rylos. He escaped mutiny and the destruction of the Kodan Command Ship before it crashed into Galan, a moon of Rylos.
(Thanks to The Last Starfighter wiki for existing.)
The Only Thing We Serve Is Tongue
Day 63: Mama Fratelli. Anne Ramsey's character from The Goonies was always scary to me as a kid. I wish this movie held up for me, but all I can think of now when I watch it is how stupid all of the parents are. I guess, as a parent myself, I'm retroactively offended.
This One Has Fire As Well
Day 62: Lo Pan. From Big Trouble in Little China. Sadly, this was not one of those movies that I was raised on, and actually could stand to watch again. I do remember Lo Pan, though, because of James Hong's scenery-chewing performance.
Tears In Rain
Day 61: Roy Batty. There's some disagreement over whether Rutger Hauer's replicant character from Blade Runner is actually a villain, as his quest is at heart, one meant to right the wrongs that have been done to his kind. The existential questions of humanity, mortality and morality are intrinsic to the character, and the argument could be made that his actions are justifiable. That said, he's a killer robot. So: villain.
There Can Be Only One
Day 60: The Kurgan. Played by Clancy Brown (who was the voice of Two-Face in Batman: The Animated Series), The Kurgan from Highlander is just an animal. Terrifying from start to finish. No redeemable qualities. No backstory to humanize him. All he wants is immortality, and he's embraced all of the murder that goes along with the Race.
I Must Break You
Day 59: Ivan Drago. Whatever he hits, he destroys. The technologically trained super-boxer from Rocky IV, Dolph Lundgren sure plays a mean Russian for a Swede.

Adding fruit extracts to your smoothies is a quick, easy and affordable way to increase their nutritional value. We give you the low-down on ACEROLA, GUARANA and BAOBAB, three of our favourite smoothie boosters…
Acerola extract is derived from the fruit of a shrub or small tree (M. emarginata) native to South America, southern Mexico and Central America. The Acerola fruit is bright red and resembles a cherry (hence its common names of Barbados cherry, West Indian cherry, Puerto Rican cherry and Antilles cherry, among others). Traditionally, the fruits have been used as an astringent, as well as to treat dysentery, diarrhoea and liver disorders.
Acerola's main claim to fame is the fruit's incredibly high levels of vitamin C – 1 to 4.5 %, compared to a maximum of around 0.5% in an orange. And, as we all know, vitamin C is essential to a healthy diet (deficiency can lead to scurvy) and plays a key role in a strong immune system. However, unlike most animals, humans are unable to synthesize vitamin C independently and must obtain it from their diet.
Vitamin C is also an effective antioxidant – insufficient levels of antioxidants cause oxidative stress and may damage or kill cells. Other benefits of vitamin C may include protection against cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and ageing of the skin (wrinkling).
Acerola also contains fairly high levels of vitamin A (on par with carrots, for example), as well as a range of other vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B1, B2 and B3, bioflavonoids, potassium, magnesium and zinc.
Due to its high vitamin C content, speak to a doctor before using acerola if you are on oestrogen pills or regular medication for depression or blood clotting.

Guarana extract is derived from the seeds of a vine native to the Amazon Basin, and Brazil in particular. The seeds, which are extracted from the plant's berries, contain about double the concentration of caffeine as that of coffee seeds (or beans). Guarana has been used for centuries by the Guarani, an indigenous people of the area, reportedly to increase physical endurance and stamina. The powder – created by grounding the shelled, dried (or roasted) seeds – is also used in both a herbal tea and bread. Today, South America gets most of its caffeine from guarana.
Like coffee, guarana is considered to improve mental performance and alertness. Many fans of guarana also attest to a sharpening of memory, though this claim deserves further research.
Although the active ingredient (caffeine) is the same as coffee, some believe guarana has a less intense and longer lasting effect due to its slower release into the bloodstream. There's also some evidence that guarana, when combined with other supplements (like polyphenol compounds in green tea), may promote weight loss, although the reason remains unclear (one study suggests it may increase satiety; another proposes that it may assist in fat being burned more readily as fuel).
Due to its high caffeine content, guarana is not recommended for those on regular medications (like some antidepressants and sedatives), or for children or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

South Africans will be familiar with this iconic tree, the fruit of which has been used over time as both a source of water and food. The pulp, a naturally powdery substance, is often used for gruel, sour dough and as a beverage (when added to water). The leaves, bark, roots, pulp and seeds have also been used traditionally across Africa for immuno-stimulant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, insect repellent and pesticidal properties and in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery.1
Due to its high vitamin C content, the baobab fruit is considered a potent source of antioxidants. In a study in African Journal of Food Science (2011), for example, the fruit of the baobab was found to have a superior vitamin C content when compared to kiwis, apples, strawberries and oranges (for example, 280-300 mg/100 g versus 46 mg/100 g of vitamin C in oranges).2
Vitamin C, of course, is essential to a healthy diet and plays a key role in a strong immune system. Other benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and ageing of the skin (wrinkling).
Baobab fruit also contains higher levels of potassium and calcium than many fruits (including oranges, bananas, blueberries and apples), while several studies reveal the fruit to be rich in fibre – which can play a key role in balancing the intestinal flora.

We're starting to get the preliminary work under way in preparation for next spring's production of "Princess Ida." I've spent a good deal of time with the libretto and have had initial consultations with Alan, our musical director, and with many members of our design and production team.
While our past few productions have been presented in a fairly traditional style, I've decided it's time to shake things up again. As with previous "non-traditional" productions I've directed, this isn't an arbitrary decision, but a direct reaction to the work Gilbert and Sullivan created. As always, the score and libretto will be presented as written. But, rather than slip into archaic presentations of the themes at hand, we'll be looking for bold new ways to explore the realms of love, war, intellect and independence; and what happens when they collide and/or intersect. I'm excited about the ambitious course we're setting for ourselves — stay tuned for updates as things develop.

Helmut Newton's Polaroids
"Polaroids", the book, has been out for years. So, this isn't an up to the minute news flash for most. But it still inspires me for some reason. In fact, the book was put together by June Newton, his wife. They were actually meant as "throwaways" in the film era. Something you did just to test exposure, composition and other technical things. Certainly Helmut Newton didn't view them as 'art', per se'. But art they ended up being.
The Throwaways
Newton was known through the years to use many cameras. From an Olympus MJU to his Hasselblad he was mostly associated with. But the Rolleiflex 2.8, Plaubel Makina 67 and, (for Polaroid film), the Mamiya Universal Press with Polaroid back. A sort of Polaroid 600 SE clone. As you can see in the above pic by Roxanne Lowit, he added a Metz "Potato masher" flash. (hey, I don't need no stinkin' TTL!)
Hail, June!
Luckily, they were mostly saved by June, who was an awesome business woman and could see a potential payday in what would appear to be mundane. Polaroid, (and now Instax and Impossible), hold a special place in the hearts of film photographers. There was a time when Polaroid was the instant film king of the hill. This is an intimate peek into the world of genius.
Behind the Scenes
Is it a "SUMO", (a massive work of art), or even a "A Gun for Hire"? Well, no, not quite. But it is definitely a "backstage pass" to a Helmut Newton shoot. A glimpse into the mind of one of the most important photographers of the 20th century. Yeah, digital guys will tell you they're "too soft" or "too grainy", and white balance is off,…and blah, blah, blah. And yet, the images still exhibit more raw emotion than most will ever produce. Taken from some of the greatest shoots of the past decades, this is a book your collection "needs". Helmut Newton: Polaroids
