How To Make Pastry Cream
My baking instructor in culinary school described pastry cream as "the most outrageously decadent pudding you will ever eat" — and she's totally right. While I could certainly eat it by the spoonful, pastry cream is really intended as a filling for things like cream puffs, éclairs, and Boston cream cupcakes. Here's how to make it at home.
The formula for making pastry cream is just that: a formula. There are little tweaks in procedure — some recipes use cornstarch instead of flour, and some people prefer to use milk over heavy cream — but they all boil down to the same basic recipe and the same basic process.
One tweak that I've incorporated into my own pastry cream is to mix the sugar and flour together before adding the egg yolks, rather than the classic method of ribboning the sugar and yolks and then adding the flour. This is a tip I picked up from Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery, who feels that adding the flour at the beginning provides some insurance against clumping. I've tried it and I agree.
Once you have this basic method down, you can make pastry cream in any number of flavors. Add almond extract for almond cream or instant coffee for smooth java flavor. Stir in some finely chopped chocolate to make a chocolate pastry cream. There's lots of room to play.
Note: In the process photos above, I am only making a half batch of pastry cream. The process is identical for a full batch.
How To Make Pastry Cream
Makes 2 cups
What You Need
1 1/2 cups
whole milk, heavy cream, or a mix
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
1/4 teaspoon
large egg yolks
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
- Equipment
Warm the milk: Warm the milk in the saucepan until you start to see wisps of steam. It should not actually be boiling.
Make the egg-sugar base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt. Add the egg yolks and whisk them into the dry ingredients. This will form a thick paste. It's fine if the paste looks crumbly or smooth; the important thing is that the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add the milk to the egg mixture: Pour a little of the hot milk into the eggs and whisk to combine. Continue pouring the milk slowly into the eggs, whisking continuously. It's OK to switch back and forth between pouring milk and whisking if you can't manage both at the same time.
Pour everything back in the pan: When all the milk has been added to the eggs, pour everything back into the saucepan. Set a strainer over a bowl and place this near the stove.
Heat the pastry cream: Set the pan back over medium heat. Whisk constantly. At first, the pastry cream will look very thin and frothy, but it will start to thicken after a few minutes. When it has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, pause whisking every few seconds to see if the cream has come to a boil. If you see large bubbles popping on the surface, whisk for a few more seconds and then remove the pan from heat.
Strain and cool the pastry cream: Stir the vanilla into the pastry cream and then pour the cream into the strainer set over the bowl. Stir to push it through the strainer. This will catch any bits of cooked egg that may be in your pastry cream.
Cover and store: Cover the pastry cream with a piece of plastic wrap pressed right up against the surface of the cream and chill completely.
Recipe Notes
Pastry cream will keep for several days in the refrigerator. Make sure that it is covered with plastic wrap touching the surface (this prevents the pastry cream from forming a skin).
For a lighter pastry cream, whip a half cup of heavy cream until it forms soft peaks and fold it into the pastry cream when it's no longer piping hot, but not yet completely chilled.
You can make a half batch or a double batch of pastry cream. Use the ingredients in this recipe as a ratio.

I can't see why not. I don't think it's particularly elegant, but can't complain about it. I'd head for the passive, though.
Can "passivize" be used intransitively?
I can't see why not. I don't think it's particularly elegant, but can't complain about it. I'd head for the passive, though.
The word "passivize" is formed by adding -ize to the adjective "passive", and as a verb it's transitive.Originally Posted by M56
Now, if you were to ask if intransitive verbs have passive structures, that would be a different story.
And yet the OED gives "passivize" as both trans. and intrans.Originally Posted by Casiopea
On many other sites I have also "asked" if intransitive verbs can passivize.
Allow me to add the intransitive example:Originally Posted by M56
e.g., Only transitive verbs can passivize.
But if it were intransitive, it wouldn't have a passive form, right? Consider,
The intranstive verb passivize was just passivized.
I would say it depends on if one sees the verb as inchoative or causative.Originally Posted by Casiopea
Causatives: X-ize = to cause to become X(ed).
Therefore: The student passivized the sentence.
Inchoatives: X-ize = to become X(ed):
Only intransitive verbs can passivize.
"Passivize" seems to me to be an ergative form, wherein it can be used both transitively and intransitively without changing the meaning and there is an implied outside agent participating in the action.
E.G. The bureaucrat bribed easily.
The colours harmonized well.
What do you think?

I'm not sure that I would see 'bribe' as inchoative.
<<ergative>>Originally Posted by tdol
Well, it's one and the same evidence given by a poster on EnglishForums.com, isn't it?Originally Posted by M56
To me, the OED sentence expresses a reflexive agent: The verbs can passivize (themselves). In terms of semantics, "passivize" is not really transitive--it does in fact take an object, albeit an unrealized object, like "sing", "eat", and other verbs, where the inchoative, ergative argument walks in.
Originally Posted by CasiopeaI see that, yes, but how then do you see these two?To me, the OED sentence expresses a reflexive agent: The verbs can passivize (themselves).
The leaf falls.
The tear drops.
As reflexive? Or as having an implied external agent?

HUNTLEY – The owners of Tropical Smoothie Café are taking their charitable works in the community to a whole new level this year.
Mike and Terri Ward, of Union, plan to donate 100 percent of the profits of the franchise restaurant located at 12162 S. Route 47 to feed the hungry through the Grafton Food Pantry.
When the Wards opened Tropical Smoothie Café, which serves healthy sandwiches, wraps and a variety of smoothies, in August 2011, they had a mission to give back, said Terri Ward, 56.
"We wanted to provide great food for the community, a place where kids can go on a date, and teach students and young people a work ethic," she said.
The 35-seat café, whose motto is "Eat Better, Feel Better," employs high school and local community college students as a way to provide them with spending money and work skills.
In addition, the business always has had a charitable aspect to it, Mike Ward said, citing donations to local groups, fundraising events and gift certificates for raffles.
But the Wards knew they wanted to do more.
Mike Ward, 55, cites the couple's Christian faith and the book "The Hole in Our Gospel" by Richard Stearns as influences for their next step.
"What if we took this restaurant and found a way to use it to serve others," Mike Ward said.
"Serving the least of these," Terri Ward added.
Partnering with the Grafton Food Pantry gives the Wards a way to find those who could use help.
Because turning a restaurant into a nonprofit entity is not easy, the Wards instead created a nonprofit foundation called Dignified Dining.
The foundation allows the Wards to convert 100 percent of Tropical Smoothie Café's profits into vouchers to be donated to the food pantry.
Mike Ward, who sold his software company in 2006, does not receive a salary from the café, and Terri earns a small amount for the catering work she does.
The aim for this year is to provide 6,000 meals, which amounts to a donation of close to $30,000, Mike Ward said.
For every meal purchased at the café, it's possible to donate two to three vouchers to the food pantry, he said.
On March 1, the Wards presented the Grafton Food Pantry with their first 200 vouchers.
Designed to look like money, the vouchers are for adult meals including a food item, side and a drink or smoothie; kids' meals; and smoothies.
A father of three children recently used the vouchers to take his family to the café for dinner.
"Now they can take their families out to eat," Mike Ward said of helping families "dine with dignity."
Tropical Smoothie Café also does a lot of smoothie sales at schools through an off-site fundraising program, Terri Ward said. Smoothie vouchers will allow needy children to visit the café for a treat with their parents.
"It lets them be like their peers," Terri Ward said.
The charitable effort has not gone unnoticed.
"The community has been extremely supportive," Mike Ward said.
A tip jar near the register often is overflowing, and even the student workers have donated their tips to the cause.
The response at the Grafton Food Pantry has been equally positive.
"We've had a very positive response to them," pantry secretary and community outreach director Harriet Ford said of the vouchers. "It's a real nice experience for our clients and their families."
The pantry serves 175 to 200 families each month, Ford said. In February, just over 600 individuals sought help.
The Wards expect their donations to ramp up as the weather warms. That will be a bonus for the pantry, which often sees donations drop off in the summer.
"That's our busiest time," Terri Ward said.
To maximize the donation, the Wards hope to enlist community volunteers to reduce labor costs. The volunteers won't be taking jobs away from students, since they will not be used to prepare food or run the register.
For instance, one woman comes in on Fridays at the end of the lunch shift and spends two hours doing dishes. Another volunteer makes deliveries.
"We don't want to burn them out," Mike Ward said of the one- to two-hour shifts two to three times a week.
The Wards hope to expand the Dignified Dining concept to other local restaurants and area food pantries.
"If we asked every restaurant to give 1 percent back and converted that to food vouchers, add that up," Mike Ward said. "Think how many coupons that would be."
For now, the Wards are getting the process worked out with Tropical Smoothie Café.
But so far it's been a win-win for both the Wards and the food pantry.
"It's nice that it's a local restaurant taking care of local people in need," Ford said.

After 34 "imperfect" years, Szalay was voted UPforEd's Parent Choice Award for the month of April, an honor also referred to as the Teacher of the Month Award.
The honor comes as Szalay is preparing to move on from teaching in June, much to the disappointment of parents and former students.
"I cried when both our children left kindergarten," said one parent who nominated Szalay as UPforEd's Teacher of Month for April. "I knew they experienced the most wonderful entry to school as possible."
Szalay hails from a proud lineage of native San Diegans, including her husband and children, who all attended the Point Loma Cluster schools.
She graduated with a bachelor of arts degree from UC Santa Barbara and later earned a special-education credential.
Szalay first taught special education at Ocean Beach Elementary School and continued work in speech and audiology with students in kindergarten through second grade.
Twelve years into her teaching career, she expanded her credentials and began teaching a traditional kindergarten class at Grant Elementary and, later, Loma Portal Elementary.
Szalay said she enjoyed getting students started on their developmental journey by building confidence and emphasizing effort.
Parent Choice Award winners were recognized during an awards celebration May 30.
To nominate a teacher for the award, visit www.upfored.org and click on "Nominate a Great Teacher." UPforEd staff, in conjunction with its Educational Advisory Committee, use criteria established by the California Teacher Standards to honor the best of the best.

As expected, Nokia appears to have some newer versions of the Windows Phone OS--specifically interim builds between "Mango" and "Tango" that adds LTE support and presumably other fixes not yet detailed.
Now we have confirmation that this is the case and even the version numbers. Reader Lukas E. has sent us a photo of his new Lumia 800 which he won directly from Nokia. Where it gets interesting, however, is his OS build which is pegged at 7.10.8107 (pictured above), a significant bump from 7.10.7740 which is found on a lot of devices today.
More interestingly, we found that the Nokia 900 which is expected to be announced next Monday at CES, is running a similar build: 7.10.8104. This info was gleaned from Lynx Interactive who makes various games for Windows Phone and collects device/OS information for their statistics.
The 810x branch of the OS seems to be an official interim build that many OEMS are using, including the unannounced Samsung Monument, the Samsung Focus, some HTC devices and the Lumia 710. What is not clear, of course, is if this will be released as an OS update or is just for upcoming 4G/LTE enabled phones but it does appear that this branch is getting ready to go public. The fact that a Lumia 800 is running the updated OS is a positive sign that this may be an official update. (There is an even later build, 8714, which may be Tango-proper.)
Perhaps we'll find out more at CES next week. Until then, we'll continue to see if we can find any other changes to the OS--so far, there is no Internet Sharing on Lukas's Lumia 800 and no other discenrable changes that he has noted, meaning this could new hardware preperation.
Thanks, Lukas E., for the photo and info!

Dell's PCs to come with music
Sounds good?
SanDisk's already launched Micro SD cards with pre-loaded tunes on. So Dell's decided to get in on the music scene too and has launched a service to pre-install music on your new machine.
The PC giant, together with Universal Music Group, will offer musical bundles of 50 and 100 tracks. Then, once your new PC arrives, you'll find your chosen bundles neatly arranged in a Music folder on the hard drive.
All tracks are DRM free, so you'll also be able to move the music between applications and onto portable players.
There are lots of bundles to pick from, including one called "Number Ones Playlist" that includes tracks from the Jackson Five, Diana Ross and The Temptations. Dell said it will update the bundles on a "regular basis" though, so don't worry if those bands aren't to your liking.
Dell will install your chosen bundles on a laptop or desktop, but has said that it won't do so on the XPS One or Inspiron Mini 9. It's also refused to touch machines running Windows XP, Vista 64-bit or Linux - so it's 32-bit Vista only.
The service expands Dell's movies service, which it launched last month and allows users to have films pre-installed onto a new PC.
Dell's music service is available online in the US now, with bundle prices starting at $25 (£14/€18). UK prices haven't been announced yet.

My mother in law seems to think all babies need formula and everytime we see her she feels the need to bottle feed our son despite my telling her he needs to nurse etc. Any suggestions on how to handle her while we are home? Our son has a severe milk protein allergy so if he ever takes formula is has to be soy. I'm afraid if I don't bring any, she will just go buy some and it will be the wrong kind. Thanks so much!

Back to top spatrickJoined: 09 Apr 2003Posts: 31 Posted: Thu May 29, 2003 5:52 pm Post subject: Living in BA Hi Revelation 99, I haven´t been here in BA long enough to give you definitive answers, but I can shed some light. The economy is still in the toilet, though it is getting better. Most people here seem to be quite pessimistic about the future, and the new Pres (about whom I´m told is only the less bothersome choice for those who actually chose him) doesn´t seem to be making much of a difference on a personal, psychological level. Who knows what will happen if they default on the IMF loan coming due. You can get a small, studio apt for about U$S 120. It seems more likely that you´d spend around U$S 160 in a decent area. Not a whole lot less if you want to go to the northern subs. I´m here as a tourist (on a very long tour, you see), so I don´t know anything about registering with someone. The word on the street, as Dave said, is nobody cares if you stay here forever. The job market in BA, as one native teacher here said, is ¨decimated.¨ I´ve got degrees and years of experience and I can´t get an interview to save my life. I start going after private students next week. I´m hoping that once the new semester starts, I might have a chance of getting University classes (rather than lang school classes which pay nothing at all from what I can tell. Indeed, I found that a full load at some of these schools will require you to be considered officially ¨poor¨ by Argentine standards, 670 pesos a month. Though, I haven´t really looked at many of these.) As far as money goes, I eat one good meal a day and fetch it (or do a superponcho) for the others. My hotel is extraordinarily cheap, yet doesn´t come with a kitchen. As such, I´m probably spending a little more money than is necessary. I´ve been here for about three weeks, and am spending less than $80 a week, and I´m not really watching costs. Once I start working, I figure that will rise to about $120 US a week. All of these prices are subject to whether you speak Castillano or not. When my Spanish gets messy, the prices rise quickly. If there´s anything more I can add, you can PM me. I check my email about once a day. ¨If you are determined, you can live here¨ as I was told on a number of occasions by different people. All the best, Patrick ps sorry for the strange key strokes. The I´m using a Arg. computer. Back to top spatrickJoined: 09 Apr 2003Posts: 31 Posted: Thu May 29, 2003 6:08 pm Post subject: Oh, I forgot. As for crime, if you haven´t been here for a while, I´m told that it is much worse. The normal day to day stuff is here, but there´s been a spike in kidnappings lately (and it doesn´t seem to matter where in the city you are located). Personally, this makes me worried. On the other hand, I haven´t actually seen anything out of the ordinary. If you are familiar with S. American culture, you will see what you see everywhere. The other exception to this is that there are a lot more guns than I´m used to (and I´m from the US). Rather than knives, robbing via guns is the way it goes. An American tourist here told me that he´s been robbed twice at gun point. He looks and acts like a tourist, so I don´t know if this should suprise me (I knew a tourist in Quito who got mugged four times in three weeks, twice being sent to the hospital. I never had a real problem in the year I was there.) There´s a lot of petty theft, but it seems that, in general, they don´t want to steal anything which would cause you to call the police (e.g. luggage). In my hotel, there´s been several times when someone has gone through my stuff that I leave out. Yet, obviously, I don´t leave out anything which one would probably want to steal (once, in Madrid, someone stole all of my underwear. Why I´ll never know.) I wouldn´t walk around on smaller streets at night. The newspapers report that the plazas are now the place to get mugged (and it seems fairly early in the evening, too). I´ve been out and about rather late at night, once stumbling, and didn´t see anything that´d make me nervous. I wouldn´t go into the poor areas of the city for any reason, day or night. I´m fairly street smart, but these people look angry and hungry (which they are). Best, Patrick Back to top spatrickJoined: 09 Apr 2003Posts: 31 Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2003 4:26 pm Post subject: Mea Culpa Hi all and sundry, Well, now that I have a whole five weeks of experience here, I need to amend some of what I posted before. I hope I didn´t cause anyone to not come to BA with my rather bad report. First of all, the reason I wasn´t getting interviews is that I didn´t understand how the game is played. Like almost everything here, you need to know someone so that you can drop the name -- basically, as it was explained to me, "you may have a lot of wonderful references and a great CV, but what have you done in Buenos Aires" is the mind set. Also, all the language schools, like universities and colleges, follow a rather strict quarter or semester system. They seemingly don´t open classes between start dates. What this means for me is that I´ve been taking an odd class here and there whereever something unusual happens, like, for example, three students want a special, tailored class and are willing to pay for it -- all in language schools. So, I got my first "name" through the internet cafe that I´m currently in. The woman who owns and runs it, knowing that I´m looking for work, told me of a friend of a friend whose child goes to a school which is in need of an instructor. Well, I showed up, dropped the woman´s name, and got a few hours right then. It also helps tremendously if you know the director or coordinator´s name before you go cold calling. I then sent CV´s via email (you can get a list of most schools from www.seaweb.org.ar/centros.htm) to a few places telling them that I´m currently working at X and would like a few more hours (don´t tell them you´re looking for a position -- as I said, until the new semester starts, there are none). With this method, I got plenty of job interviews and enough hours to survive -- around 20 contact hours (to live fairly well, you´ll need 25 contact hours at 13 to 15 pesos an hour). The bad part of this is that each class is in a very different part of the city, which means I spend many hours on the bus. It´s rather like teaching Corp. or private students, just more secure. I´d think that once Sept. comes around, the schools will be hiring native teachers, quite possibly full time. There are not that many natives here (but more than I´d have thought) due to the economy. I would be careful, however, of the schools. They range from the worst educational institutes I´ve ever witnessed (I was in one where the students were reading out loud with the instructor correcting every pronunciation mistake) to fantastic. Ask the coordinator or director about teaching methods before you begin. Always ask about the pay during the interview -- one place offered me 7.5 pesos an hour after I spent an hour in the interview; quite frustrating. On another note. The visa is not that big of an issue as far as working quasi-legally. The gov really doesn´t care if you work here forever, but they do want the taxes. Early on this was a problem for me in finding private corporate work -- without a QUIL number they can´t hire you. I was told (by two people) that it is impossible to get said number without the proper visa. I believed them and stopped trying to get those kinds of jobs. Well, from what I believe is a reliable source, it´s not true. If you speak spanish, have a decent suit, and act like you know what you´re doing, I´m told, you can simply walk into the barrio office and they´ll give you one without asking anything about it. The negative side of this is that taxes are quite high, 80 pesos a month regardless of how much you earn. However, this number will also garner you a better pay rate -- but as far as I´m concerned not enough to make up for the taxes. All of this is to say that yes you can live here and get hours to teach. It may not be the easiest thing to do, but it isn´t that hard. One last note: I believe the crime here is rather low. Based on the actions of the Porteños, there is really very little to worry about. Keep your eyes open and don´t be foolish, of course. I hope this helps and straightens out my prior posts.

I am coming to argentina to visit this winter, but I would love to find an ESL job there later on if possible. Could you tell me a bit more? (or anyone reading this!) What were your interviews like? Did it seem they very interested in CELTA type qualifications? If I remember correctly you are much more qualified than me- I have been teaching only a year, and hope to get a CELTA or something before I go looking for jobs again. I'm worried that won't cut it for a job in buenos aires- what do you think? I dont speak spanish now either, although I may study it for a year or so by the time I go look for jobs. ( am I dreaming here? It was easy to get my job in Japan, so I may have some illusions about other countries.) You mentioned that it is difficult to get hired during a running semester. So when do the semesters start and end, or, do you know about when they hire for those semesters? And you said you made a connection through an internet cafe- did you mean, this one? thanks! Back to top spatrickJoined: 09 Apr 2003Posts: 31 Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2003 3:44 pm Post subject: Hi Meridian, I´d be glad to give you some more info (I had thought I was boring all of you out there with so many details). As I said before, once I figured out how to get an interview, the jobs simply started coming. I think, though don´t know, that if they call you for an interview, you have the job. That is, unless you look like a backpacker or can´t actually speak english or something. In most of the interviews, we talked about methodology or "strange" students or whatnot. Very relaxed, and I was able to ask quite detailed questions about the schools and programs. As for having one year experience and getting that job, I can tell you that there are numerous schools who wouldn´t care if you had no TESOL education. Some of the schools, which pay nearly the same as others, barely deserve the name. It depends: if you´re looking to work in a real school with dedicated professionals, you might have a problem landing a full time job (which I don´t have yet) as there are many Argentine teachers walking around with Masters or better. If you´re looking, on the other hand, to live in BsAs and teach while doing it, you´ll get that easily. If it´s somewhere in between these extremes, you can do it also. The semesters are standard, with the next beginning late August, early Sept. As far as not speaking the language, the people here are very nice and very helpful, except when it comes to money. Just be prepared to pay more for everything, or just think in Dollars and you won´t notice the overcharge. Once you get a job, you will probably need someone from the school to help you get settled. Everyone I work with is very considerate and helpful, so I´m sure you wouldn´t have a problem there. Hope this helps. If there´s anything else I can add, to the group or just to you, Meridian, don´t hesitate to ask.

Senior forward Taylor Miranda of the women's soccer team was honored as a second team All-Region selection by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) for the 2013 season.
Miranda was the Rams' leading goal scorer with 15 strikes on the year.
She was tied as second highest scorer within the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC), which made her a second team All-Conference selection.
She was one of only 14 players in the New England region to score at least 15 goals this past season, and her 1.65-points-per-game average ranked her 20th among all NCAA Division-III Women's Soccer players in the New England region.
She finishes a four-year career that saw her score 38 goals for the Rams in 59 games. Her 87 total points are the second most by a player in program history.
During her freshman campaign in 2010, Miranda was named GNAC's Offensive Player of the Year as she tallied 21 strikes on the season, and set the conference record for 17 goals in conference games. She has scored nine game-winning goals in four seasons.
Suffolk also received the following NSCAA team awards:
- Team Academic Award, given to a team with a 3.0 grade-point average or above. The Women's Soccer team posted a 3.37 team GPA in 2012.
- Bronze Award for Team Ethics/Sportsmanship, an award given to a team that receives no red cards and only six to 10 yellow causations during its season.

Sound Of The World presents: Anywhere On This Road
Charlie Gillett
Release Date:
12 July 2010
Charlie Gillett
Until his death in March of this year, BBC Radio DJ Charlie Gillett was worlds musics number one ambassador. His radio shows and compilations helped launch the careers of musicians the world over. Sadly, this is the very last instalment to the Sound Of The World series, compiled only weeks before his passing. Sound Of The World presents: Anywhere On This Road (originally named as a tribute to Lhasa De Sela) takes us to all the corners of the musical world, with some of the greatest names in world music, such as Khaled, Yasmin Levy, Bassekou Kouyate, Tinariwen and Ojos De Brujo, as well as Staff Benda Bilili from Congo, Mahala Rai Banda from Romania, nu-flamenco vocalist Buikas collaboration with Cuban legend Chucho Valdes, Nigerian singer Nneka, and many more.
Hard to believe that Charlie Gillett wont be around to put together any more of his annual surveys of the best and quirkiest from around the globe. This 2-CD set compiled just before the DJ died in March is even more satisfying than its predecessors.
The Sunday Times
Charlie Gillett is a much missed champion of new music and sadly this was his last compilation. It features choice cuts from Khaled, [Bassekou Kouyate &] NGoni Ba, Tinariwen, Knaan, Ceu, Seasick Steve and the great Saban Bajramovic. The closing Presentiment from Ethiopia is as hair-raising as any supernatural apparition. We love ya, Charlie Gillett.
The Independent
(Album Of The Week)
The late Charlie Gillett made his annual compilation into an institution. This last roundup offers Gilletts instinctive blend of grand groove and insinuating melody.
The Observer
"Extra poignancy is added by the knowledge that this will be the last world music compilation from the late broadcaster Charlie Gillett. 'Anywhere On This Road shows off his talent-spotting perfectly."

- 1 (3 pound) chicken
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 red onion, quartered
- 1/2 lemon, cut into 4 pieces
- 1/2 head garlic, about 6 cloves, smashed
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1/2 pound sliced bacon, cut in 1/2
- 3 pounds whole cremini (baby portabello) mushrooms , wiped clean with a damp towel
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season the cavity with salt and pepper. In a large bowl combine the onion, lemon, garlic, half the thyme, and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper and mix it well. Stuff the bird with the mixture. Using 2 (3-foot) pieces of kitchen twine, tie up the chicken: Tuck the wing tips between the wings and the body. Put the midpoint of the twine under the chicken, bring the ends up and around the wings, and pull them tight against the body. Bring the ends of the twine up underneath the legs, wrap the string around them, pull the legs together, and tie them tightly. Place the chicken, breast side up in a roasting pan, and layer the strips of bacon up breast until covered. Scatter over the remaining thyme, drizzle over some more olive oil and season everything with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours; arrange the mushrooms around the chicken 45 minutes after roasting. Baste with the pan juices every 20 minutes. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (the legs should wiggle easily in their sockets.) Remove the chicken from the pan, cover with foil, and let stand for 10 minutes to rest. Serve the chicken with the roasted mushrooms and pan juices.

A total of 94 photographers have won during the last 2 years the Panoramio Geotagged Photo Contest, and this was the perfect excuse to meet up around an exhibition of those great photos.
The event happened during the 7th and 8th of August in the gallery of Ajka (Hungary) thanks to the organization of Imre Lakat. Gábor Hauberger (NightHunter), our beloved Hungarian moderator gave a welcome speech in the opening ceremony.
On the first day, we made a trip to Magyarpolány, a small village close to Ajka where we visited the church and Calvary Hill. On the evening, we had a marvelous dinner on the Somló Hill, which is the smallest, but famous wine region of Hungary. On the second day, we visited a wonderful natural formation, the Karst of Úrkút.
In total, more than 100 participants attended the event, and we all enjoyed the meeting. Thanks Imre for the great organization, and we hope it is not going to be long until we can meet again.

Hello, I was wondering what are the opportunities for teaching primary level in an International school in the Middle East? What kind of pay do they offer? I will be finishing a PGCE in the UK soon and thinking of doing a few years teaching in the ME if the money is good. At that point I will have about 2 years of TEFL teaching in Asia and the PGCE. I presume I would have to get a few years primary experience before thinking of heading out. All information appreciated. Thanks.

As many of you know, I participated in the Great Cooks Community: Kid Friendly Cooking event and had won the third place. I would like to thank everybody who showed their support by voting for my entry : Black Forest Cake. I received the third place winner's ribbon yesterday, and would be more than happy to show it to everyone. Some friends were interested enough to ask me about the competition even after the voting was over. Once again a big thanks to friends and family who supported me whole-heartedly.
I am sending the tikkas to the "Eat Healthy Protein Rich" event at Sangeeth's Art of Cooking Indian Food.
I am also sending this to the "Swiss National Day" event at 1x umrühren bitte. See you tomorrow with a new recipe! Have a nice day!!

Virgin Mobile Canada has completely sold out of HTC 8S stock, according to an alert on its website. It's displayed when attempting to add the Windows Phone to the basket for checkout. This is a refreshing look on Windows Phone popularity with HTC hardware continuing to sell as well as Nokia handsets.
Available at just $279 (or $79 on contract), it's no wonder the HTC 8S is a popular choice. The alert displayed on the website is as follows:
"Sorry this phone has been flying off the shelves and we're out of stock. Please make another selection."
Virgin Mobile has also started a deal to offer an opportunity for consumers to take the 8S for a test drive with the chance of keeping the handset for free should enough tips and tricks be provided along with feedback. Be sure to register your interest if not done so already.

Rated 4 out of 5 by citygirl78 from sexy and simple i bought this dress to wear to a cocktail event that was work related, so i needed something sexy, but not to tight or too short and this was perfect! it fits nicely, and with the next line, it is not as simple as a sheath dress. i paired it with gold and leopard print heels to add a sexy pop. i am 5'7 and bought a small, which is the size i always buy from bebe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ivy00 from AWESOME DRESS, I LOVE IT!!! This dress is an awesome evening dress. It fits quite perfect, showing off curves and slimming you down all at the same time. Although i bought it on sale, it is totally worth the regular price. I usually wear a medium but I tried on the small and it fits like a glove. Its length is perfect, not too long or too short. The material is of great quality too. This is a great dress to wear on a special occasion.
