Happy Home Baking: May 2008
By the time this post is published, I will probably be looking out from the window...
and we should be landing in a short while...
and begin our much awaited holidays. It has almost becoming a routine that we visit California once in every two years. If not for the long flight, I bet we would have returned to this place much more frequently!
Not unlike our previous trips, we will make it a point to include many outdoor activities for the kids...lots of rounding around in the park, hiking, picinics, kite flying...
and a mini golf session is a must...
and cherry picking at Brentwood!
This has to be one of my favourite outdoor activities!! I am looking forward to stuffing myself silly with all these cherries again!
and not forgetting these sweet and juicy peaches.
The main highlights of this visit will be a round trip to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. The last time we went to Lake Tahoe was almost 8 winters ago. I am sure the place will be equally beautiful during the summer.
This will be the first time I will be entering Yosemite by the Tioga Pass entrance. My husband was so happy to know that the Tioga Road has opened and much earlier this year! He can't wait to show us the beautiful scenery along this road that literally cuts across the park from the west to the east.
For the past weeks, I have been reading up on the various hiking trails at the Yosemite. This time round we will give the Mirror Lake trail a miss. I think we are really fortunate to be able to visit this lake twice, both in the winter and in the summer!
I will love to go up to the Glacier Point again.
This photo was taken at the Glacier Point...the view is really incredible, isn't it?! It's really worth the one hour drive up from the valley to the summit. You get to see the entire valley from up here.
We are planning to take the trail to the top of the Sentinel Dome this time...I read that it's quite an easy one-hour trail and I am looking forward to experiencing the panorama views from the summit. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we have enough time to take another hike...up to the top of Vernal Fall. I'm sure it will be fun to be so close to a water fall. Another place that I will really love to visit is the Big Sur along Highway One.
We never seems to be able to make the trip down ever since we went there several years back! I just want to show my younger boy the magnificent views from the various vista points along this scenic drive. To me, this is the most scenic drive on earth! Somehow, I know, we won't be able to include this place in our trip this time...there are simply too many places to visit and too little time :(
Besides all the sightseeing, we will be indulging ourselves with food that we have been craving for the past two years...my boys have already drawn up a list of eating places that we must go...Krispy Kreme donuts, Popeye's chicken, In & Out burgers, etc, etc.
I will be back in a couple of weeks' time with lots of photos and stories to share with you :)
I love baking muffins, and nothing beats having a homemade muffin over a cup of hot coffee for breakfast!Whenever I need to bake something quick and easy, muffins would always be the number one choice. It is also a great way to use up whatever ingredients before the expiry date ;)I made this batch of yummy muffins following a recipe which is meant for a chocolate chips & crumble muffins. Instead of chocolate chips I replaced it with some left over peanut butter chips. I was quite happy with how the muffins turned out, it was worth the little extra effort required to make the chocolate crumble toppings.I was quite pleased with the series of photos I took too :) No, I am not referring to the sharpness, the colour and exposure of the images...they failed very badly in these areas. The only thing I liked about the photos was that they were able to capture how 'voluptuous' these 'mountain-high' muffins turned out when I took them out of the oven ;)By the way, did you know that there were actually three muffins in the above image?This recipe calls for rubbing in the butter to flour instead of the usual way of using melted butter or creaming butter with sugar. The resulting batter was rather watery as compared to the usual thick and gooey mixture which I was more familiar with. I filled a few of the muffins cups almost to the brim (I used only 10 muffin cups instead of the recommended 12), as such a couple of them had batter spilled over the cups...looking not too different from a volcanic eruption! I had some difficulty rubbing in the butter while making the chocolate crumbles...I guess the flour was too little for the amount of butter used. Most of the crumbles were really huge!This recipe yields soft and fluffy muffins, although they were not as moist as what I would expect. The peanut butter chips and the chocolate crumbles really enhanced the texture and flavour of the muffins. I love the slightly crisp crust most :)Peanut Butter Chips Crumble MuffinsIngredients(makes 12)250g self-raising flour1 teaspoon baking powdera pinch of salt50g butter100g soft light brown sugar150g peanut butter chips or chocolate chips2 eggs, lightly beaten225ml milk2 teaspoons vanilla extractfor the Chocolate Crumble Topping:50g plain flour1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder40g butter2 tablespoons caster sugarMethodFor the chocolate crumble topping, sift flour and cocoa powder into a bowl. Mix in the sugar and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Set aside.Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and the peanut butter chips.In another bowl, mix eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid mixture all at once into the dry ingredients. With a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until just combined. Do Not Over Mix. The batter should remain lumpy.Fill paper muffin cups with batter sprinkle with the crumble toppings. Bake in a preheated oven at 200degC for 18-20mins, or until well risen and firm to the touch. A skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean. Let cool completely.Recipe source: adapted from Muffins Galore, Catherine Atkinson 13 comments:

Made this wholemeal loaf a few days ago. It's a simple almost no frills everyday kind of bread. The steps involved in making this bread are quite easy. The only thing that you need is lots of time and patience. This bread uses a 'sponge dough' method...which requires 90mins of extra proofing time as compare to other breads that use the 'straight dough' method.
I read that the 'sponge dough' method would yield a softer bread texture. The crumbs was indeed light and soft, and the bread stayed fresh and soft for 3 days. I didn't even have to toast it before serving. It tasted great with my favourite blueberry jam, and I love the nice fragrance from the wholemeal flour. Even my kids, who don't really fancy any kind of wholemeal grains in their bread, didn't make a single complain :)
85g bread flour
4g (1 tsp) instant yeast
Mix the dry ingredients in (A) in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and add in the water. Mix by hand to form a soft dough. Place dough in a mixing bowl, cover with cling wrap and let it rise for 90mins. Place the ingredients in (B) in the pan of the bread machine (according to the sequence as stated in the instruction manual of your bread machine). Add in the soft dough in Step 1. Select the Dough function of the bread machine and press start. After about 8mins of kneading, add in the 15g of butter (Ingredient C). Let the machine continue to knead the dough. After the kneading cycle has stopped (20mins), Stop and Restart the machine. Continue to let the machine knead for another 10mins.
Stop the machine and place dough in mixing bowl, cover with cling wrap and let it rise till double in volume for about 60mins. Remove dough and give a few light kneading on a lightly floured work surface. Press out the trapped air as your knead. Divide into 3 equal portions and shape into balls. Cover with cling wrap, let the doughs rest for 15mins. Flatten and roll out each dough into an oval shape (20cm by 10cm). Roll up swiss roll style and pinch the seams in place. Place in a pullman tin (size, 7.5"x4"x4", well greased), seams side down. Cover the lid and let dough proof for 60mins or until the dough rise up to 90% of the height of the tin.
Bake at preheated oven at 190 degC for about 30mins.
Remove from oven and unmold immediately. Let cool completely before slicing.

I have not been baking anything for the past week as I was busy coaching my two kids for their school's mid-year exams. We were so glad when it was finally over! Instead of taking out the oven to bake something, I chose to make a chill cake as I thought it would be good to have something nice and cold as dessert.The recipe is taken from Baking Mum's Strawberry Marshmallow Cake...I always admire her great cooking and baking skills, and she has shared many wonderful recipes in her blog. I did a peach version as I didn't have any strawberries in the fridge. The base of the cake was a layer of crushed digestive biscuits. The filling was made by melting marshmallows, milk, gelatin and cream, before topping off with fruits and a layer of jelly. Don't you think it is a rather interesting combination? This is in fact my second attempt. The first time round I didn't have a chance to take any photos to blog about it as I brought it to a friend's gathering. The cake was well received by both adults and kids.I have come across many photos of cakes and tarts decorated beautifully with fruits. Although most cookbooks will show you how to go about making the cakes, so far I have not come across any, that clearly spells out how to go about arranging the fruits on top. So it took me a good few minutes of thinking to figure out how to arrange the peach slices on this cake.I first tried out the arrangement on a plate, about the size of the finished cake, before attempting to arrange them on the actual cake. By doing so, I found out that in order to have a 'rosette' in the centre, it was easier to first arrange the outer ring of peach slices. This way the peach slices would be able to 'support' the rosette. As for the rosette, I worked from the outer 'petals' inwards...over lapping the slices one after another...and you need to use fairly thin slices, especially for the inner most piece, as you need to be able to bend and curl them a little. (Slice the peaches if the ready sliced ones are too thick.)According to the recipe, this chill cake seems pretty easy to make. However, I thought it can get rather tricky when it comes to finding the right time to arrange the fruits and pouring in the jelly layer. If the fillings was chilled for too long, the jelly layer may not adhere to the filling...so, once you slice the cake, the jelly layer may separate from the fillings. The jelly has to be cool off completely before pouring it over the filling, otherwise there would be bits of fillings melted away and the jelly layer would not be 'crystal clear'! I also discovered, to my surprise, that melting the marshmallow was not that easy either! They didn't melt that quickly as I would expect. I had to keep stirring the mixture to prevent it from getting burnt at the bottom. I would suggest using a big enough saucepan to boil the ingredients for the fillings...the first time I made this, I used a small saucepan and had to change to a bigger pot halfway! I hope this will be helpful for those who are keen to give this cake a try. 54 comments:
This chocolate swirl loaf was baked 2 weeks ago. I didn't manage to post this until today. I have been lacking behind in my blog posting...it seems that I am baking faster than I could write about it!
Unlike all my previous attempts on bread making, this is the first time I've tried using a 'roux' to make a loaf. In the past, whenever I came across any bread recipe that requires the making of a water roux, I would give it a miss, as I have no idea how to 'cook' the water roux to the right consistency and temperature. I decided to give this recipe a go as the method of making the roux for this bread seems simple enough for me. All that's required is to cook a slice of shredded Cheddar cheese with some milk, then add in the flour and stir to form a soft dough...it's almost like making a roux for a cream sauce for a pasta dish. The soft dough is then chilled for an hour before it is added with the other ingredients. The rest of the steps are not very different from the usual bread that I have been making. After using the bread machine to do the kneading, the dough was divided into two portions...one added with chocolate chips, the other with cocoa powder. After the first rise, the doughs were rolled up together and baked in a pullman tin. The texture of the bread was almost the same as the Marble Bread I made earlier...soft and yet there was a slight chew to it. I would say it was quite a tasty, hearty bread...especially when the slice was slapped with a generous helping of nutella :)
1 slice Cheddar sandwich cheese
1 teaspoon (4g) instant yeast
Tear Cheddar cheese into pieces. In a saucepan, over very low hear melt the shredded cheese with the milk. Stir till the cheese is melted. Add in the 20g of bread flour and stir quickly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until the mixture becomes very thick and resembles a soft, wet lump of dough. Let cool. Cover with cling wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 60mins. Place the soft dough in Step 1 together with the rest of the ingredients in B in the pan of the bread machine (according to the sequence as stated in the instruction manual of your bread machine). Select the Dough function of the bread machine and press start.
After about 8mins of kneading, add in the 20g of butter (Ingredient C). Let the machine continue to knead the dough. After the kneading cycle has stopped (20mins), Stop and Restart the machine. Continue to let the machine knead for another 10mins.
Stop the machine and remove 200g of dough from the bread pan and set it aside.
Add cocoa powder and water (ingredient D) into the dough that's left in the bread pan. Re-start the machine and let it knead for another 5mins.
While the machine is working, manually knead in the chocolate chips into the dough that was removed from the machine. Place both doughs in 2 separate mixing bowls, cover with cling wrap and let them rise till double in volume, about 80mins.
Remove doughs and give a few light kneading for each dough. Press out the trapped air as your knead. Shape into balls and cover with cling wrap, let the doughs rest for 15mins. Flatten and roll out the cocoa dough into a 20cm square, and the chocolate chips dough into a 16cm square. Place the chocolate chips dough on top of the cocoa dough. Roll up swiss roll style and place in a pullman tin (size, 7.5"x4"x4", well greased). Tuck the ends down. Cover the lid and let dough proof for 60mins or until the dough rise up to 90% of the height of the tin.
Bake at preheated oven at 180-190 degC for about 30mins.

I don't know about you, but I love looking at images of plain looking cakes. I am always mesmerised by the awesome looking, golden crumbs on a cake surface. I made this chocolate gateau a couple of days ago. As usual, I was attracted to the recipe by the beautiful illustration. It's a flourless chocolate cake, ground almonds are used in place of flour. I was very pleased with the outcome...its appearance improved gradually as it was cooling off. I actually liked the bulging rim, I call it the 'hat', that was formed on the top ;)I would prefer to have the cake plain, but since this is a Me cake...yes, I made it just for myself...I thought I should coat it with a layer of chocolate ganache. I have meant to make it a very simple cake without any decoration...but since I was left with some chocolate ganache, I piped a 'rosette' on it. Yes, I know, I need more practise on my piping ;'pWith my lousy frosting skill, the cake appeared distorted...and the photos I took were terrible. Thanks to the strong light rays from the scorching sun, my photos were mostly over-exposed. It got worst when the glossy chocolate ganache bounced off light all over :( The cake tasted really really goooood!! It was awfully chocolaty, and the texture was very smooth and velvety. I am sure any chocolate lover will fall in love with it right away. It certainly helped to lift up my spirit a little, as there is really nothing to be happy about, if you have reached the age when our government automatically covers you under the ElderShield :,(Ingredients:150g dark chocolate, broken up75g golden caster sugar (I used light brown sugar)150g unsalted butter, diced1 tablespoon runny honey4 large eggs, separated200g ground almonds (almond powder)75ml milk (I used low fat fresh milk)chocolate ganache:100g dark chocolate, chopped1/2 cup heavy creamMethod:Line the base of a 20cm cake pan (with removable base) with parchment paper, grease the sides with butter and set aside. Separate egg yolks from whites when the eggs are still cold. Set aside to bring to room temperature.Place chocolate, sugar, butter, honey in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir frequently till the ingredients melted. Let cool.Transfer to a large bowl. With a manual whisk beat in egg yolks and ground almonds, then stir in the milk. (Just a few stir should get everything incorporated. The mixture will be rather thick at this stage.)In a clean, dry, grease free mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, whisk egg whites until stiff. With a spatula, Fold In the beaten egg whites in 3 separate additions, into the cake mixture. (Ensure all the whites are fully incorporate into the cake mixture after every addition.) Pour batter into prepared cake pan (the final batter will be less thick). Give the pan several sharp taps on a work top to bring up any air bubbles that may be trapped in the batter.Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170 degC for 35-40mins, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.Remove from oven, let cool in the pan for about 1omins. Run a thin-bladed knife along the sides of the pan, unmold and cool right-side up.Dust with cocoa powder before serving. Alternatively, if desired, spread with chocolate ganache. To make chocolate ganache: bring the heavy cream to a boil, remove from heat and add in chopped chocolate. Stir till chocolate is melted. Let cool for a few mins and spread over the cake.Recipe source: Gorgeous Cake by Annie Bell

It Gets Better Essays: Set #1 | LGBT Teaching Aids
About LGBT Teaching Aids
LGBT Teaching Aids
Some Extra Credit For Teachers
It Gets Better Essays: Set #1
Posted on April 1, 2012 by Joe Vito Moubry
The first set of essays from the book It Get’s Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, & Creating A Life Worth Living, edited by Dan Savage and Terry Miller, are essays from both people in well-known positions and people who are just well-known. (It Get’s Better Book Essays #1 Lesson Plan)
The essays that I choose to go together well:
A Message From US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
“Born This Way” by Perez Hilton
“You Are a Beloved Child of God” by Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson
The Three Messages
The first three, all though they are called “message” instead of being a straight up essay, talk about teens being bullying for being gay or perceived as gay and them taking their lives.
Since Obama, DeGeneres, and Clinton do talk about teenagers who’ve taken their lives due to being LGBT, an additional resource you may want to bring into this unit are some news articles for a reference point. Here are some news articles that may be beneficial for the discussion part of these essays:
Tyler Clementi’s suicide as reported in People Magazine. Clementi had committed suicide after his roommate and a floor mate at Rutgers University recorded Clementi in a private setting of his room while making out with another guy. Once Clementi found out about this, Clementi committed suicide on September 22, 2010
A second possible article that talks about Michele Bachmann and the 9 LGBT Suicides. This article takes more of a focus on political side of the suicides because of Bachmann. Regardless of the reason why the attention these suicides got, this article would be the great for the fact that it gets to the point of the messages that Obama, DeGeneres, and Clinton gave.
All three Messages are typed up in the book It Gets Better, but here the videos from YouTube.
Here is Obama’s Message:
Obama’s message has an interactive transcript ~ if you got to YouTube to watch it ~ that would allow you to have your students to watch and read Obama’s message in class.
DeGeneres’ Message
DeGeneres’ message comes from an episode of her TV Show:
Clinton’s Message
Clinton’s message has a similar setting of Obama’s:
The Two Essays
With the two essays, Hilton’s is told from more of a first hands experience of what it is like being a LGBT community member and how that the process takes time to get out of the place of people mocking and picking on you. With Bishop Hanson’s essay, he writes from someone who can only imagine what it’s like being picked on for being LGBT and how it takes time for people who are bullied and ends his essay with saying that he trusts in God enough to use himself to help make it better.
For the in class discussion, you could lead the class in a discussion of how the messages and the essays differ and are similar in their messages. You can also lead the discussion how having these five figures who are high-profile ~ some, of them are in more of a position that’s more well-known than others ~ can create more role models. A third ting that can be discussed is the structure of the messages and essays and how that contributes to the over all effect of them.
The students should write a 1,200 word paper on the messages and essays that they had to read. The paper should have an argument about if the student either liked or disliked them and use examples from the messages and essays to help support their claim. The students should also be encouraged to use some of the in class discussion that happened to help support their claim.

Trevor Hoffman, career saves leader, signs with Brewers - tribunedigital-chicagotribune
Trevor Hoffman, career saves leader, signs with Brewers
The Brewers have landed career saves leader Trevor Hoffman, solving a shaky closer situation that could have gone into spring training with no clear favorite.
Hoffman agreed to a one-year contract worth $6 million Thursday, a person familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press. Hoffman can make an additional $1.5 million in performance bonuses, based on games finished.
The 41-year-old right-hander converted 30 of 34 chances last season, increasing his saves record to 554. He has saved at least 30 games in 13 seasons, another major-league record.
*John Smoltz and Brad Penny are on their way to the Red Sox. Rocco Baldelli is already there. Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein announced Baldelli's signing for $500,000 but would not confirm the deals for Smoltz or Penny, which are expected to be announced in the next few days. Smoltz reached a preliminary agreement with the Red Sox worth about $5 million and can earn another $5 million in performance bonuses. The Red Sox are also negotiating with Mark Kotsay to return as a backup first baseman.
*Former AL Rookie of the Year Angel Berroa agreed to a minor-league contract with the Yankees. ... Scott Hairston and the Padres avoided arbitration, agreeing to a one-year, $1.25 million contract. ... The Dodgers signed shortstop Juan Castro. ... The final cost of the Washington Nationals' ballpark is expected to be $693 million, $62 million above budget. ... The Brewers signed Potawatomi Bingo Casino as a sponsor.
Big Payday For Padres' Hoffman

Great place for characters
It wasn’t until I started to go through my pictures of Disneyland that the front hub on Main Street has some of the best character interaction. Unlike Disneyworld where each character comes with a photopass person (Disneyland hasn’t figured out the profitability on that one yet) you have to have your own camera ready. But at any given time there was an average of 8 to 10 different characters. They included The Fab Five plus Chip and Dale normally sometimes Alice and some of her crew or even Mary Poppins and Bert. Needless to say if you are ever at Dl and on a character hunt try Main Street.

One response to “Great place for characters”
We went in October and even saw Eyore which is rare. Jack and Sally are next to the Haunted Mansion during Halloween but they get a long line quickly. We saw the Mad Hatter several times and once was with Alice at the Tea Cups. Also saw the Queen of Hearts and Captain Hook across from the Tea Cups. In July I Saw Buzz and have never seen him before or sense.

Low Carbon Lifestyle: Sunday 23rd March 08
Woken very early by one of my children shouting about there being snow on the ground.
I lay in bed awake until about 8 when I got up and there was indeed snow. I had breakfast and went outside and did some more work outside.
Soon my sister and her Husband arrived. It's my sister's 40th birthday soon and today she is having a party and several of her friends have been invited as well as me and my family and my brother and his family.
So it wasn't long before a couple arrived from near Coventry, and then a couple from near Nottingham. We had some lunch and Anna opened her cards and presents. It was a really good celebration.

FreemanOriginal AssigneeFreeman James DExport CitationBiBTeX, EndNote, RefManPatent Citations (11), Referenced by (32), Classifications (9) External Links: USPTO, USPTO Assignment, EspacenetBlind-end connector for fastening sheet metal to fiber-board ductsUS 4245545 AAbstract A toggle-bolt-like blind-end connector fastens sheet-metal panels to fiber-board ducts by passing through pre-bored holes in the metal panel and punching its own hole in the fiber-board by a sharply pointed conical head mounted on a barbed-ring shaft. An expandable spider is fixed at the base of the head and is held collapsed against the shaft by a short sleeve. The sleeve has an end flange to limit its following the head and spider through the hole punched in the fiber-board, thus allowing the spider to expand inside the duct, after which expansion the shaft is pulled outwardly to press the expanded spider against the inner surface of the fiber-board. Next a resilient-material nut having shaft-gripping barbed-rings in its bore is pushed onto the exposed end of the shaft to engage the sheet-metal panel. The barbed-rings on the shaft facilitate breaking-off the unneeded end of the shaft.
The invention having been described, what is claimed is: 1. A hole-punching blind-end fastener for attaching pre-bored hard-material panels or the like to soft-material panels, comprising: a rigid shaft; a sharply pointed tapered head fixed to one end of said shaft, said head having a base diameter approximating that of a pre-bored hole in a hard-material panel or like structure; a spider-like expandable member co-axially fixed immovably to said shaft closely behind said head, said expandable member being collapsible against said shaft so as to be insertable through a head-punched hole in, and so as to be expandable on the hidden side of, said soft-material panel, said shaft having spaced barb-like circular threads formed in its surface; and a press-on nut formed of resilient material and having barb-like threads for mating with the threads on the free end of said shaft.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Blind-end toggle-bolt-type fasteners for attaching pre-bored objects to fiber-board panels are known (e.g. Gelpcke, U.S. Pat. No. 2,398,220, Apr. 9, 1946, and Passer U.S. Pat. No. 3,241,420, Mar. 22, 1966). But none is known to have a sharply pointed tapered head large enough to punch its own hole in the fiber-board panel. It is the principal object of this invention to provide such a fastener. Other objects and advantages will appear as the following specification proceeds.
BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a plan view partly in axial section of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION With reference now to FIGS. 1-8 of the drawings, the numeral 11 generally designates the fastener, which has a core structure formed of a plastic axial rod 13 with a molded-on or fastened-on enlarged conical sharply pointed hole-punching head 15. A flexibly expandable molded plastic spider 17 with 2, 3, 4 or more legs 19 is fixed on the rod or shaft 13 against the rear surface of the head 15 by a small pressed-on sleeve or nut 21. The spider 17 can possess sufficient springiness to insure its expansion when released, but it is herein shown as having embedded therein a thin steel spring spider 23 (FIG. 4) for surer expanding.

Trade Group Backs Effort To Ship Bananas to Europe - The New York Times

Trade Group Backs Effort To Ship Bananas to Europe
By DAVID E. SANGER MARCH 20, 1997
After spending years trying to get leaders of both political parties to pay attention to his trade problems around the world, Carl H. Lindner, who controls Chiquita Brands International, has finally won a victory: The World Trade Organization has backed his right to ship bananas to Europe.
Mr. Lindner, a Cincinnati businessman, is well-known in Washington. Since 1993, he and his American Financial Corporation have contributed more than $1 million to the two major political parties. Bob Dole, the former Republican Presidential candidate, used a jet belonging to the Lindner family empire during the 1996 campaign, and Mr. Lindner, sharing in what has become a perquisite for Democratic donors during the Clinton Administration, spent a night in the Lincoln Bedroom. Bananas became one of Mr. Dole's most intense trade interests, and the Administration, while declining to impose unilateral sanctions against Europe, pressed his case with the World Trade Organization in Geneva.
But until Tuesday, when a preliminary decision was handed down in that case, he had yet to win a single round of his banana battles with Europe. Now, said diplomats familiar with a still-confidential opinion written by a three-judge panel of the trade organization, Europe's regulations have been found to unfairly favor fruit from African, Caribbean and Pacific states, chiefly former European colonies.
The European Union said that those rules were designed to support the Caribbean economies that depend heavily on their banana crops, and that those economies would be destroyed if they had to compete with lower-cost producers in Latin America who sell huge volumes of bananas through Chiquita and other brands. Chiquita contends that the European policy has cost the company more than $400 million over the last five years.
European officials said yesterday that they intended to appeal.
''Many of the conclusions of the report appear to be unfavorable but we need to analyze this further,'' said Peter Guilford, spokesman for the European Union's trade commissioner, Sir Leon Brittan. Appeals are common in World Trade Organization rulings, but rarely successful.
It is unclear, however, whether Mr. Lindner will be entirely satisfied with his victory. When the ruling is completed, the European Union will have the chance to rewrite its rules, or to pay compensation to the United States, Mexico and the other countries that challenged the banana import restrictions.
''There are ways for the Europeans to blunt the effect of this,'' one American official said today.
For that reason, Mr. Lindner had sought stronger action from Washington. On his behalf, then-Senator Dole introduced amendments to budget bills in Congress that would have imposed sharp sanctions on Costa Rica and Colombia for going along with the European banana-trade system. Those amendments failed.
Mr. Lindner also pressed the White House, seeking unilateral sanctions against Europe. The Administration balked at that request, but agreed to take his case to what Charlene Barshefsky, the United States Trade Representative, called an ''impartial review'' by the trade organization.
