In commemoration of the 2019 Chinese New Year, the Royal Australian Mint presents the Year of the Pig gold investment series, exclusively distributed by PAMP. Celebrated by the Chinese for its symbolic properties of compassion, generosity and intelligence, the pig is also strongly associated with wealth and abundance.
The coins of the series are rendered and struck in high detail by the Royal Australian Mint and are uniquely suited for both gift-givers and investment enthusiasts alike. The truly exceptional coin design is richly detailed and crafted in 99.99% fine gold with an uncirculated bullion finish.
The reverse design features a detailed rendering of a happy and carefree pig at play, as it runs through a puddle of mud, and the Chinese character '猪', which translates as 'pig' in English. The top of the reverse design features the year '2019', while the bottom features the coin's metal weight and fineness. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, along with the text 'ELIZABETH II', 'Australia' and the face value of the coin – all of which are encircled by depictions of the 12 signs and moon phases of the Chinese Zodiac.
Gold Avenue recommends wearing protective gloves when handling your precious metals products in order to protect them against scratches and other damage. Gold Avenue can also provide secure storage for your products.
This beautiful gold bar aims to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year and important annual festivals in China, as well as anyone born in the Chinese Year of the Pig. The ancient Chinese myth claims that the Jade Emperor had to decide the order of the animals for the calendar. Not knowing how to go about it, he decided to allocate a place according to the order of arrival of the animals at his royal holiday. The Monkey, the Dog, and the Rooster were outside the Empire chasing evil spirits and bringing peace and prosperity to the kingdom. Because of this, they arrived together. The Jade Emperor was impressed by their great act and honored the animals with their position.

Philip Henry Sheridan was once described by Abraham Lincoln as "A brown, chunky little chap, with a long body, short legs, not enough neck to hang him, and such long arms that if his ankles itch he can scratch them without stooping."
Philip's brother, John L., father of Nellie and Mary Sheridan, was so rotund that the door had to be enlarged of Nellie's 19th century home to accommodate his large casket. Like his brother, he was just as wide as he was tall and quick witted.
It isn't surprising that " chunky"General Phil died of a heart attack!

Documents with quotations from suppliers to hospitals reviewed by TOI show that medical devices and different kinds of stents other than the coronary kind which have been brought under control are offered to hospitals at prices far lower than the MRP charged from the consumer. For instance, one quotation shows that removable esophageal controlled release stent with an MRP of Rs 92,800 was offered to a hospital for Rs 64,960. Most of these are critical devices used in surgeries, while some are even prescribed to cancer patients, doctors said.
Medical experts said this is a usual practice with most critical care products including stents, implants, cancer medicines and so on.
"If the government is serious about safeguarding consumer interest, then it must bring out an overarching policy and not take a piecemeal approach by price capping just one product," says Dr G S Grewal, former president, Punjab Medical Council.
While prices of medical devices other than coronary stents are also under the Drug Price Control Order, companies are allowed to fix launch prices and then implement an annual hike of up to 10%. Moreover, there are no legal provisions to check or restrict firms, suppliers and hospitals from inflating prices by adding margins, commissions and incentives to suppliers, doctors or chemists.
Doctors and industry executives often claim huge margins are built into the original cost to push particular brands, high-end products and sometimes unnecessary implants and surgeries are carried out for profits.

All you heroes are not much different
from me. Your victories taste no better.
Your songs will fade as soon, into
the night that falls upon us all.
Pain is as fleeting as joy, and death
even more pointless than life. If I
take up my sword, defy the heavens,
am I the better for it? Sooner
or later, we shuffle it all off,
and maybe we are happy or maybe
we just keep unhappiness
at bay until it doesn't matter.
Laugh, my heroes — the jester dances
before us. In the end he will
draw near to whisper his name into
your ear. But you had guessed it already.

Indiana Non-Public Education Association
Indiana Non-Public Education Association serves as the voice of the 96,000 students and 7,700 teachers of Indiana's 400 private and parochial schools.
INPEA's voice was getting drowned out by well-organized special interest groups that lobbied exclusively for public schools, and saw all others as a threat. Nichols helped INPEA defend the reputation of its schools in a variety of ways, including rallies and other public events, press releases, letters to editors, op-ed essays, infographics and more.
Nichols redesigned the INPEA website to make it more user-friendly and modern with a focus on storytelling. We emphasized success stories of students and families who rely on non-public education, which were getting lost in the fray. The new website serves as an effective resource for parents, educators, voters and the general public who are interested in real facts about non-public schools. Nichols also created a unique Legislative Toolkit for schools to help citizens express their views and concerns to legislators.

Pander 5 (Spring 1998)
Hotere: Out the Black Window. Ralph Hotere's Work with New Zealand Poets, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki – a City Gallery, Wellington Touring Exhibition (July 4th to September 6th, 1998).
Greogry O'Brien: Hotere: Out the Black Window (1998)
Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is come,
And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land
The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's. This passage (chapter 2, verses 10-12) is one of the most beautiful aubades, dawn-songs, ever written – who knows when, or by whom? Ralph Hotere has included some of the words on a vast dark canvas in one of the far rooms of his travelling exhibition Out the Black Window. It seems as good a test case as any.
Test case for what? Well, at the poetry reading held at the Auckland Art Gallery on Saturday, August 1st, there seemed to be a consensus that we – audience and poets – liked the paintings, but didn't have much to say beyond that bare fact. Ian Wedde read out his superb "Pathway to the Sea," and talked about cooking feeds of mussels on the beach. Hotere has a dark sense of humour, he told us, and a way with silence.
Cilla McQueen, who was married to the painter for twelve years (until 1986), read a number of poems, including the text she compiled from Gulf War commentaries in Time and Newsweek for use in his Song of Solomon (1991):
sharpbreak revenge warpath gas bodybag bodybag loopgas blitz pin
cluster destroy tactical moth atomicflame mother of germbattles shift
the flowers appear on the earth
There are fourteen couplets, for the fourteen stations of the cross, each followed by a fragment from the original Song. What McQueen referred to as this "conscious un-language" of war was, she said, designed to contrast with its lyric beauty.
I wondered how much of the conception of the painting was hers, and how much his. The answer was almost entirely his – "cross-pollination, not collaboration." She could not tell me where the Arabic text just visible at the bottom of the picture came from. (My Arabic teacher, Mr. Alan Dabaliz, tells me that it translates roughly as "Libyans Unite!" Copied, perhaps, from some news bulletin?)
Gregory O'Brien's exhibition catalogue claims that the "oily black inks" of the painting "evoke the oil slicks" of burning Kuwait, the "trails of dots … become tracer fire in the night sky," and the "horizontal panels of white and black denote the desert landscape." Perhaps so.
My problem is with this easy sense of an equation. Song of Solomon = beauty; Time Magazine = warspeak. The black is the oil; the fourteen numbers Christ's passion; the white is the desert. I have no objections to didacticism in itself, but I want to know if what I'm looking at is an anti-war poster, or a work of lasting complexity. It's a question of genre. The Gulf War's been over for seven years now. Is Hotere's work, then, so time-bound?
The poets are little help here. They (naturally enough) trust Hotere to handle the visual side, while he trusts them to handle the verbal. Does the juxtaposition of these two media: an already-written poem by Bill Manhire, or Cilla McQueen, or Hone Tuwhare, or Ian Wedde, with the unpainterly surfaces of Hotere's scraps of metal, or canvas, or paper, work as the catalyst for an artistic fusion reaction? Or are we being sentimental to think so?
Nigra sum, sed formosa, filiae Ierusalem
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem …
Look not upon me, because I am black,
Because the sun hath looked upon me:
The original Song of Solomon is not really so simple a work as analyses of the painting would make it appear. It is, it's true, a marriage song, conveyed through a series of voices: The "dark but comely" Shulamite, her Beloved, the Choruses of her brothers and the daughters of Jerusalem. It's a love poem, but it's also about pain and misunderstanding. The Shulamite wanders through the city at night till "The watchmen … found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me."
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,
If ye find my beloved, that ye tell him,
That I am sick of love …
The second time I visited the exhibition there were groups of sixth and seventh form girls seated in front of the paintings, scribbling industriously in their bursary notebooks – a frame, a few lines, some words of text: "O Africa," "Rain," "Wulf."
What do the words mean to them? Anything? Or do they take them on trust, like the rest of our incomprehensible charades of endlessly-deferred meaning? I fear I may be looking for a sense of closure unattainable in art or life, but I find it hard to assent to smug readings of these paintings of Hotere's as mere proof of his being on the "right" side in a series of recent controversies. Song of Solomon may have been inspired by the Gulf War, but it seems to me as much about the complexities of love between two people as the jagged confrontation of two cultures: "Jealousy is as cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame."
The last part of this strangest, most modern of poems assures us that:
Many waters cannot quench love,
Neither can the floods drown it
But what does it mean by that bitter coda: "If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned"? That there are limits even to love?
If the poem matches the painting in complexity of levels, does that justify both? Is the fact that both are about light and dark, love and betrayal some kind of criterion of merit? – Libyans Unite! – Perhaps so. Perhaps that's as close as I'll get to an answer. It is, as I say, a kind of test case.
I'm going to be taking a lot more things on trust from now on.

On from 12 midday Saturday till Sunday afternoon 7th and 8th July.
Following last year's success with the inter-club shoot with the Mountain View archery club, MVA have invited us down again in mid-July on a date to be confirmed.
We gave them a touch up last year, although the general theory is, if the visitors win they generally come back.
A good weekend was had by all last year. A great feed and good company was shared by the campfire in the MVA camping area.
Please make an effort to come along this year.

CHARLESTOWN, Mass. ---- The Massasoit women's basketball team hung with top seed and No. 1 nationally ranked Roxbury for a quarter, but the Tigers pulled away in the second half to claim the MCCAC Championship, 87-54 on Sunday.
Massasoit (9-14) was paced by freshman Geornaisha Silva-Moore (Brockton) who finished with 20 points, four assists and three steals.
Natascha Elias and Tatiana Dias, both from Brockton, each tallied 14 points in the loss.
The Warriors fought with the Tigers in the opening period, tying the score at 20-all with 1:58 left in the first off an Elias 3-pointer.
That would be as close as Massasoit would get against Roxbury (20-2), as the Tigers outscored the Warriors 30-11 through the second quarter. Roxbury led 50-31 at the half.
Massasoit will get a rematch against Roxbury at the Region 21 Tournament, next Saturday at Springfield Tech with tip set for Noon.

Pink Tie Friends, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) public charity formed by a dynamic, vibrant group of cancer patients, survivors and supporters who have joined together to make a difference along Florida's Treasure Coast.
Inspired by the compassionate, competent care she received while being treated for Stage 3 breast cancer, Treasure Coast resident Nancy O'Neill wanted to do something to give back. Women and men diagnosed with breast cancer who lack adequate health insurance were identified as a critical need.
Nancy conceived the idea of a calendar featuring local breast cancer patients and survivors who portray strength, determination, courage and hope. The idea of a gala to debut the calendar and promote knowledge and awareness soon followed. The community responded. Never in her wildest dreams did Nancy think that one idea could impact so many lives!
Since 2005, Pink Tie Friends, Inc. volunteers and supporters have raised funds and awareness through the annual Calendar, Pink Tie Gala, and Friendship Luncheon. Portions of the funds raised have helped more than 60 women and men in Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties overcome the financial burden of their treatment. The future is brighter because of the caring attitude and strong commitment of so many.
Our Mission is to provide financial support to individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and who are uninsured or under-insured.
Our Vision is that the strength and longevity of the organization will continue to grow, enhance lives, and replace the anguish of individuals who fear they will not be able to afford treatment for breast cancer with comfort and hope

Setting tongues wagging: Stuart Lancaster. Photo: Getty Images
Stuart Lancaster has spent time with the Stormers ahead of the new Super Rugby season, prompting local media speculation that the former England coach might get a job with the South African franchise.
Afrikaans-language newspapers in Cape Town said Lancaster had been signed up as a consultant to the new coaching team appointed months ago but the Stormers director of rugby Gert Smal said on Tuesday that Lancaster had just been visiting.
"Stuart's been on a tour of Australia and New Zealand to see how they do things there and when he asked to come and spend a bit of time here, we happily agreed. He's got a lot of experience and expertise to share," Smal said.
Lancaster participated in a practice session and made a presentation to the coaches.
The Stormers appointed former Springbok centre Robbie Fleck as their coach for the season as emergency replacement for Eddie Jones.
Jones had signed to take over he Cape Town franchise but just over a week after his unveiling he went off to replace Lancaster as coach of England.
The 48-year-old Lancaster resigned in November as England coach after a dismal Rugby World Cup when the hosts failed to get out of the group stages.
The Stormers begin their season against the Bulls in Cape Town on February 27.

By Bridget Kubis Prescott, Director of Education
Save The Bay long ago recognized that if we are to fulfill our mission to protect and improve Narragansett Bay, we'd have to reach deep into a new community of supporters—the hearts and minds of young people, school children, who would one day become keepers of our beautiful Bay. Our education program has since evolved from isolated classroom presentations into rich integrated experiences with entire grades, schools and school districts. The success of these programs is rooted in strong partnerships that begin with relationships with individual teachers and grow over time.
An Old Friend in Central Falls High School
Our nearly 15-year partnership with Central Falls High School paints the perfect picture of the evolution of our school-based education programs. In 2002, Central Falls High School AP biology teacher Joanne Greenleaf knew her students needed the kind of education experience that would generate excitement in learning, get them out of the classroom, and give them opportunities to learn with their hands rather than textbooks. She pounded the pavement to raise money on her own, through friends and family, and even a stranger at the grocery store, to bring her classes out on a marine science cruise aboard our education vessel M/V Alletta Morris.
This single experience was life changing for Greenleaf's students, and it inspired the way we approached partnering and working with teachers. It was the seed that has evolved into one of our signature education programs—Narragansett Bay Field Studies. Greenleaf has since left Central Falls High School but the legacy of the program and partnership she began with us has continued in the work of other teachers and school administrators.
"The field studies program with Save The Bay gave us such strong evidence of the positive impacts of environmental education that it became the foundation we used to develop the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) Academy at Central Falls High School," said Joshua Laplante, past principal of Central Falls' STEM Academy. "The Save The Bay partnership was prioritized not only at the school level, but also at the district level, because of the great influence it had on student development," he said.
The Narragansett Bay Field Studies program has become a formally adopted and integrated part of the Central Falls School District curriculum, complete with an internship and summer camp for high school students. AP biology classes meet with Save The Bay educators at Lonsdale Marsh as many as 18 times each school year to evaluate four big indicators of ecosystem health. They collect water samples and test for dissolved oxygen, salinity, nitrogen and phosphorus levels and more. They put on waders and boots and head into the river with kicknets to see what crustaceans, worms and aquatic insects are present at different times of the year. They record the different types of vegetation, aquatic animals, birds and land mammals they see. And they assess human impacts by measuring sound pollution and trash found in the area.
"It's one thing to teach environmental science with case studies, simulations and videos, but to have students knee-deep in water in their own community, testing it for nutrients and pollutants, and analyzing the data they collect makes the level of awareness and impact so much greater," said science teacher Laura Stanish.


text: All of the beauty of this late spring wedding in Estes Park is overwhelming. The background of her photos could not be more beautiful as they capture spring in the mountains perfectly. When I met Jessica and learned that she was a paramedic, I would have never guessed she would want such a glamourous day. That is what made Jessica so wonderful as she was so sweet, easy going and lovely while still having a side where she knows very well how to be tough. I loved being a part of Jessica's big day and have to say I could not have felt more safe knowing in any circumstance her and her bridal party of paramedics and firefighters could save the day!

What happens during a facial rejuvenation treatment with PRP?
The practitioner will assess the degree of skin aging and recommend treatment with reasonable expectations of outcome. After your skin is cleansed, local anesthetic cream is applied. Blood is then taken from your arm and processed. PRP is then injected with a syringe into the specific target areas.
Is the procedure painful?
Numbing cream is applied to the face 30 minutes before the procedure. Some areas of the face, near the eyes and nose, may be more sensitive.
How long is the recovery time?
There is little to no downtime associated with the treatment. You may have some redness or minor bruising. Normal activity can be resumed immediately. You should not wash your face immediately after the procedure and should avoid exfoliating or facial treatments for 2 weeks after the procedure.
How long is the treatment?
The procedure takes 20 minutes but expect to be in our clinic 60-90 minutes for the entire treatment process.
Is PRP safe?
PRP treatment is extremely safe. Because PRP is from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction and the treatment is "all-natural". Infection is extremely rare because PRP contains concentrated amount of white blood cells which are your natural defenders against infection.
Are there any contraindications?
Persons with active skin infections, acne, skin disease (lupus, porphyria), cancer, severe systemic and metabolic disorders, blood disorders or abnormal platelet functions and sepsis should not receive PRP.
Is PRP therapy covered by insurance?
PRP skin rejuvenation is a cosmetic procedure so it is not covered by your health insurance.
How many treatments are needed?
The practitioner will evaluate your skin and discuss reasonable expectations for outcomes. Some people will be extremely pleased after one treatment. Some people will require 2-3 treatments to obtain their desired outcome. Treatments are scheduled 12 weeks apart if more than one treatment is needed.


text: In my quest for improved strength I found myself at Crossfit Alinea, attending their open class for beginners. It was quite a workout and it was hard, but very satisfying. It started off with a warmup, which included squats, scapular pushups and burpees, as well as some range-of-motion things. Then, they placed an agility ladder on the floor and walked us through several running/skipping drills on the ladder. That bit was very enjoyable. Then, we moved to the kettlebells and learned how to lift them, at which point we were told we were going to do an eight-minute workout. The workout consisted of pairing up with someone else and doing alternating rounds of 10 kettlebell lifts and 6 burpees (with a leap over a big box beteween each two burpees.) Toward the end of the eight minutes I was wiped out and my burpees had lost shape, but I could see the value in it and felt rather accomplished at the end. The ambiance and background music is very Banlieue 13, which makes one feel ridiculous and empowered in equal measure, and filled me with a powerful desire to do parkour.

NAVI MUMBAI: The Khandeshwar police have arrested two builders, who are partners of Balaji Builders Group, after they surrendered to the cops. Two of the partners, Mahendra Singh and Bablu Gupta were arrested on Monday and Wednesday respectively and remanded to police custody till May 2 and 3.
Meanwhile, four FIRs were registered against them for cheating more than 100 home buyers collectively to the tune of Rs 20 crore.
A group of five builders had allegedly accepted booking amounts for flats in 2010 for different projects at Adai, Vichumbe, Sukhapur and Usarli villages in Panvel and New Panvel talukas, including the sites in Cidco's Naina project.
They did not complete their projects and went absconding when home buyers demanded cancellation or refund of their money.

The only thing that's devoid of a natural connection is Bradley Cooper and Rachel McAdams.
Why cast a homosexual as the love interest in a rom-com? Look at how puzzled and disapproving his face is as he ponders what normal men find alluring about femininity.
It's bad enough when it's shoe-horned into a dumb action movie, like Jeremy Renner and some woman in the new Avengers movie. But when the whole point is the relationship between men and women, the inability of fags to fake it really grinds the movie to a halt. Look at that recent erotic thriller starring down-low cock-gobbler Will Smith.
Do they think star recognition trumps everything? Not even the tubby popcorn-scarfers in the rom-com audience are clueless enough not to sense the palpable lack of chemistry between The Man and The Woman.
Clueless enough *not* to sense…
Casting Emma Stone as Asian, even half-Asian, is pretty lazy casting. I'm not a stickler for this or that ethnicity playing this or that ethnicity, but jeez, at least come clean and just change the character's background.
And hey looky! It's Agnostic come to spew his bile again. Your consistency is almost comforting.
One day Agnostic will NOT claim that a Holywood leading man is secretly gay…
…This is the day the world ends.

Highly Recommended - Reston, VA - I had an excellent experience with this provider. Every appointment was exactly on time, the staff was friendly and extremely helpful (and available 24/7), and the surgeon did an outstanding job correcting my abdominal separation. I no longer have back pain, and my stomach is as flat as it was before I had children. This practice also has an outstanding insurance specialist who acted as my advocate with the insurance company. I highly recommend Dr. Weston and his practice. More
Phenomenal Results! - Reston, VA - Dr. Weston and his staff were wonderful! They were always professional, quick, on time and the surgery turned out beautifully! After having three kids and spending hours and hours and the gym, I still had people asking me when I was due. Since I've had my tummy tuck, I feel so much better about how I look and finally have the flat abs I had prior to having children - although I think they look even better than before I had kids! You can actually see my core muscles! Love Dr. Weston and would highly recommend him!! More
Tummy Tuck with Lipo of Hips & Flanks & Breast Lift - Reston, VA - Everyone was so caring in the office. They are busy but do assist and are always available. If they were not busy I would worry. A busy office means happy clients! I can't believe there is not a review for this doctor!! I have many friends he has gone to and does amazing work. He is a Wonderful Doctor!! I would recommend him to anyone. I did my research and did go to to 3 other doctors I don't think I can mention names. Dr. Poindexter does what is best for his patients! I believe Dr. Poindexter stays informed on the latest technology. Other doctors are so busy doing surgery they forget to keep up on technology. Many doctors shy away from no drains for me it was wonderful. before and after photos! I think because many doctors don't know how to do the No-drain tummy tuck technique. I will be going back for more surgery for my face next year. Pictures are posted after 2 months of not working out. These pictures are before workout. I have since started working out and do look even better. Will post more up to date pictures. More
Breast Lift/Liposuction/Tummy Tuck - Reston, VA - consulted 5 surgeons before I chose him. he is an amazing doctor. I am forever grateful. he changed my life. :) he has almost 20 years of experience and nothing but good reviews. he is also a nice caring person and I think he did an amazing job on my body. had a breast lift with only incisions around the areola when every other doctor wanted to give me vertical incisions. very nice and friendly staff. there to answer all your questions. I felt so at ease through out the whole procedure, I wasn't scared, only nervous, they took such a good care of me. thank you Doctor Sigal for everything you've done for me. Can't wait to see you in September to take my 5months post op pics. :D More
Liposuction/breast Lift/tummy Tuck - Reston, VA - I started searching online for plastic surgeries, to get ideas, reviews, risks, etc. This site helped me a lot on my decision. After many consultations, I decided to go with Dr. Robert Sigal in Reston. his reviews were amazing and the staff friendly and helpful, even himself when I met him during my consultation I knew right away he was the one, he was so confident and funny, he made it sound like a piece of cake, he gave that assurance, such a nice Doctor. More

Almost There Too Quickly! - Reston, VA - So, I am a full day away from my body changing day! I am super excited to have a nice tight tummy and real boobs again! I have saline unders currently with a grade 4 capsular contracture on my right side. It causes me all sorts of problems, chest tightness, tingles, muscle weekness. NO FUN! This is a quick decision bc two of my kids will start school and we just got the money to take care of... More
Thirty-three Years Old with Three Kids. Reston, VA - When I went for my consultation with Dr. Knotts I was nervous as it was my first consultation for a tummy tuck. He made me feel comfortable and answered most of my questions before I even asked them. He looked at my stomach and advised me on what he would do which was a standard tummy tuck, umbilical hernia repair and lipo. On surgery day he was reassuring and the nurses and anesthesiologist all made me feel at ease. I am please with my results so far. More
"Mommy Makeover" - Austin Weston Center, Reston VA - Dr. Weston was wonderful from beginning to end. He was very upfront about what I could expect and what he could and couldn't change. Great bedside manner. He patiently addressed all my concerns at my follow-up. I spent hours researching doctors as this is a major surgery to undergo and settled on him after the reviews.I was concerned that there was still a degree of cellulite to my outer thighs and brought this to his attention. He was very open to hearing my concerns and willing to redo liposuction to that area if I wish. He did explain that there is a fine line between too much and not enough fat removed so I am still debating if I will have it redone, but leaning towards doing so. It is just a small amount but after diet and exercise it is still there. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I did not at anytime feel like a nuisance as there were times I made a lot of calls with many questions. From the very first visit, surgery and follow-up, I was always treated with respect. More
Mommy Make-over! Reston, VA - Breast feeding 2 kids left my breast completely deflated and sad, basically just loose skin without any volume so I couldn't even take advantage of a push up bra. Pregnancy left me with a small umbilical hernia and a wide gap between my abdominal rectus muscles. I'm proud of my body and what it has accomplished but when I looked in the mirror something just seemed to be missing. I had to... More
41 Yr Old Mom of Twins, 9 Yr Wait for TT, Lipo of Hips and Flanks - Reston, VA - After giving birth to twins in 2006, I've struggled to keep my belly flat.

I had my classic tummy tuck with muscle repair from severe Diastases Recti, and opted for Lipo of the hips and flanks on... More

Male Tummy Tuck --- What I Planned for and the Reality ... 60 Yr Old Male - Dr Westin did the procedure and he did other things for me years ago. He is THE BEST and he changed my life for the better. I highly recommend him and he does a great job. More
Dr. Weston and Staff Are True Professionals While Also Being Personable - I can't say enough good things about my entire experience with Austin-Weston, specifically Dr. Weston and his team. I contacted them to talk about getting a tummy tuck. After two kids (c-sections) my stomach was totally flabby and sagging. I also had a slight hernia that made my stomach protrude even more.At my initial consultation, I of course was nervous, but Wilma talked me through... More
Amazing care, amazing result!! - I am *thrilled* with the results of my abdominoplasty and can't say enough good things about Dr. Knotts and the AWC staff. Dr. K went above and beyond the call of duty, not just in terms of my care, but also in his interactions with my mom (my support person) after the procedure. As a nurse, she's a tough judge of doctors and even she thought he was amazing. Professional, caring, and truly... More
Love my results! - My experience at the Austin Weston center was excellent and I am thrilled with my results! I had a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast augmentation/lift. Now I am able to feel comfortable with my body, rather than focusing on how pregnancy had changed it. The doctors are caring, talented, and detail-oriented. Throughout the entire process, they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable... More
Dr. Sigal is amazing! - Hands down the best plastic surgeon out there. He listened to what I wanted and applied his professional opinion. Dr. Sigal is a true artist. He sculpted my mom bod into my dream body and I'm only 6 weeks post op from having a tummy tuck, fat grafting to my buttocks, breast lift and multiple lipo sites. He's amazing. Believe me, I'm a nurse. Ive seen all kinds of results on pts. More
One of the best decisions I ever made! - I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck three yrs ago by a different facility. The recovery was difficult because I was so over medicated that I had bladder retention, and had to return to the hospital for catherization. I have very little recollection of the first three days. I developed quite an infection in one breast. My areoles and nipples we up so high on my breasts, they peaked out... More
Amazing Results!! - From the moment I contacted this office I looked forward to my pre-op appointment with Dr. Weston and boy is he amazing!

Dr. Sigal - I really don't know where to start my history.. I was really against cosmetic surgery until I saw my body changed after having my twins, I really thought I could bounce back but with twins there is no time to work on yourself.. I can't thank Dr. Sigal enough for giving me my confidence back, I thrilled with my results without even mentioning how easy and fast the process was, I recovered in ... More
Tummy Tuck - I couldn't be happier with my experience at Austin Weston! The staff were all super friendly, helpful, and took the time to answer all of my many questions.

Wilma Hendricks, my surgery coordinator was amazing, a true support, so r... More

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.
Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will
be visible on the left.)
Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that
a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

Jordan's Storm Phone Pic
Hello Robin's Nest Fans!
Today I am showing you how to play with our new cards. They are thick cards that you can use in your scrapbook layouts, planners, even your Project Life projects. They are the perfect size for cards as well. I am adding to Jordan's book that I have been slowly creating for him. The picture comes from his phone. I think that it a pretty cool picture.
Here are pics of the front and backs of the cards that I used.
They really are fun and easy to use.
I started with laying out the cards next to Jordan's photo.
Using one of the Aristocratic Blues Cards, I took a razor blade and cut along the border so that I slide it onto the page. I then stapled it. I have been stapling everything in this book to give it a grungy look. He is a grungy, artistic kid.
See how thick the card is...
Adding drops of The Best Glue Ever, then pushing the Tear Drops on top of the glue, I created a rain storm. I thought that it would tell the story of his picture. And the River Bed Tear Drop colors were a perfect combination with the cards that I chose to use.
Fussy cutting the tree out gave the page a more earthy feel.
These Archival Seeds have the perfect "stormy" color too! A drop of glue is just enough for these cuties, just like the Tear Drops.
Here is a break down of some of the products that I also used. The Robin's Nest has so many embellishments that you can use to adorn a page. Stop by the shop and see what inspires you to create.
Here is the final look, I added some pen lines around the pages for more depth.
Until next time,
Happy Crafting!

Week 2 of dining with Momogoose. I'm thoroughly enjoying my free lunches I have won for the month. Let's see what I had for week #2.
Monday May 9th- Masala Chicken ($5.00)
How to liven up the first day back to work after a great weekend off? Get something flavorful and spicy! Lunch is a great way for me add some excitement to staring at a computer all day drawing and drawing a massive project.Masala spices- the curry was really flavorful, it was a tad bit pungent for the office setting so I suggest eating this outside
Chicken- the tender white meat chicken was cut up into but sized pieces. Very manageable for eating on the go at lunch.
As a whole the entrée was really good. The portion was so large that I divided it in half and saved it for dinner at the office. I was expecting a saucer dish than what I received. I don't mean to say it was dry at all, just saying I thought it was going to be a creamy curry; like chicken tika masala. Surprise, surprise.
Tuesday May 10th- Vietnamese Chicken Pho (Large $5)
Let's say it together now… "Fuh" not "Faux" Let's try that again "Fuh, Fuh Fuh!" Let's use it in a sentence "This Chicken Pho was amazing!" Good, Good, let's move on!The pho was so flavorful because it had such a great base. I loved the light broth and how it warmed me up on yet another cold spring day. The chicken was shredded white meat chicken. I love that it is shredded. I have a (strange?) phobia related to chopped up meat. It goes back to Campbell chicken soup and how gross that chicken is. I equate that anything chopped up is paid less attention of something that is shredded by hand. So I am so glad to see this shredded chicken The cilantro that was floating in my soup adding occasional hits of extra flavor
Wednesday May 11th- ga nuog ($5.00) and a spring roll ($1.50)
I was supposed to meet Price on Tuesday for lunch but got caught up in the fact that I needed to get to the bank so I completely forgot. I'm so horrible! I made it up to him by meeting him for lunch today. I grabbed lunch at Momogoose and then went to sit in Quincy Market to share the meal.Vermicelli noodles make for a good bed for the entrée. Vermicelli noodles are fairly nuetral in flavor so they do a good job at absorbing the lemon grass flavor from the chicken. The chicken in the dish is dark meat. I don't really like dark meat chicken so I skipped it and had the spring roll and some noodles. Worked out well, more for Pricer then.
Thursday May 12th– Chicken Dumpling Soup (Large $4.50)
Another cold day in Boston. What is going on? It feels like October!!! I knew I would get soup for lunch since Tuesday's lunch was so good, plus I wanted the comfort of something warm. I decided to try the dumpling soup for some variety.This soup was massive. It really is large enough for 2 meals, making it such a great value. The broth is extremely flavorful. It was an more intense color than the pho I had on Tuesday. It was more peppery as well. I love white pepper in soup, especially Asian soups. There were several dumplings mixed in the soup, along with the noodles. The dumplings were filled with ground chicken. They were large and tender.
Friday May 13th- Ginger and Scallion Chicken ($5.00)
I saw on twitter that the special for the day was Ginger and Scallion Chicken. I had also heard via twitter that a movie was being shot outside Quincy Market so I grabbed lunch, walked over there to watch the actors. I stayed classy by eating my lunch standing up star gazing.The chicken was tender skinless white meat chicken breast. It was clear that this was a ginger and scallion flavored meat entrée. The ginger was very prominent and there were several pieces of cooked scallion in the sauce. this is a great dish if you like ginger; if you dislike ginger then skip this dish. I love that with every entrée they give you a few pieces of steamed veggies.
My favorite meal this week was the chicken pho. I really loved the chicken dumpling soup more but slipped out of the 'is this thing gluten free?' zone when I got it and then slightly regretted it later. So the plainer soup with vermicelli noodles wins out.
Check out my Week 1 Recap for those lunch reviews!
Thanks for visiting. Please leave me a comment to provide some feedback. I appreciate all the comments I receive.

The day after Hurricane Sandy, Dal LaMagna drove to his factory in Building 12 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. His company, IceStone, had been making hard surfaces, like countertops and tables, using recycled glass and cement. As he pulled into the yard, his first sight was of the factory's new garage door, which cost $21,000, peeled back like the lid of a sardine tin. Inside were six destroyed forklifts. The entire place was drowned.
Plus, IceStone had no flood insurance.
"I said, 'Game over,' " Mr. LaMagna recalled. "We were done."
This week, six months after the storm, the IceStone production line started up for the first time since before the storm. What had seemed impossible became inevitable.
"The workers said, 'We can do this,' " Mr. LaMagna said.
Every last motor in the building, all 70, had been under five feet of water. Some 5,000 electrical relays were ruined. Much of the equipment had come from European sources, and even if anything could be salvaged, the parts were on the other side of the Atlantic. "Endless issues," Mr. LaMagna said. After his early survey of what had been damaged or destroyed, he estimated that replacing everything would cost as much as $3 million.
His number turned out to be way too high. "What I thought was going to cost $2 million to $3 million, we did with our own people for less than a million," he said. "They said, 'We can fix this.' They are our partners in the business."
This "partner" language turned out to be more than rhetorical flourish. IceStone, which was founded eight years ago, was still in the toddler stage in 2008 when the banking crisis and subsequent financial collapse nearly drove it out of business. Mr. LaMagna, 66, who made a tidy fortune with Tweezerman, a home beauty products company that he started and sold, was an investor in IceStone. He took over the operations in October 2011.
He announced that he was giving the employees 10 percent of the company's stock, an amount he promised would increase to 20 percent when the investors had recouped their initial stakes.
The purpose, Mr. LaMagna said, was to "empower the workers, let them get back from what they put in."
Among the 38 employees was Manuel Vargas, 47, of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. In his first days back after Hurricane Sandy, there were still inches of water that had pooled in areas of the factory. He and others used squeegee-type brooms to push it out of the factory. "The majority of it was dry, then, but slippery," Mr. Vargas said. "We had containers of grease, lubricants for the machinery, that the storm had lifted up and tossed around. There was grease everywhere."
He put on an optimistic face, he said, but the factory "looked like something from a nightmare."
"When I first saw, I thought, wow, we lost our jobs," he added. "But I'm not the type of person who gives up. And I saw the owners and supervisors trying to work things out. Why should I be scared when I see people are pushing?"
He makes $19 an hour, with health and dental benefits. No one was laid off. The factory had some inventory waiting to ship out, and some raw materials that needed to be polished. The most important tasks involved taking apart motors and other machinery, which the workers, for the most part, could do, easing the need for expensive contractors, Mr. LaMagna said. The company's purchasing director, Alison Tester, said she found new suppliers "who have been jumping through hoops" to help.
NOW back in full production, IceStone is again bringing from the Midwest the raw material at the core of its business: recycled glass. It buys about 200,000 pounds a month from a company in Indianapolis. For amber and green counters, beer bottles serve well; the company uses Champagne bottles for yet another shade.
Even though New York City produces many tons of waste glass every day, the bottles are collected along with cans and crushed in trucks. Because of this, local recyclers can't provide IceStone with the quality of glass that it needs for its materials, Ms. Tester said.
Giving stock to the workers has paid off, Mr. LaMagna said. Mr. Vargas agreed, saying, "It gave me more of an edge to come to work."
From Bay Ridge, he rides the R train to Jay Street, then catches the B62 bus to the Navy Yard. "I start at 8, but I'm here between 7:20 and 7:30," Mr. Vargas said. "I like to make sure everything is working right before the day starts."


text: March 8, 2012 Peter Dale March 8, 2012 Peter Dale It's time to get to know the man behind The National, executive chef Peter Dale. As he competes for the title of Food & Wine's The People's Best New Chef through Sunday March 11, we want you to know exactly what makes Peter the most talented and innovative chef in America. Your journey to this point has been winding, when did you really know you wanted to be a chef? I had definitely thought about it for a long time, probably in high school and college, but never seriously. It wasn't until years later when I was staring at a computer in my cubicle when I realized I had to do something different. What is your most vivid food memory? My first meal at Five & Ten, just after they opened. It was duck confit, grapes roasted on the stem and a star anise jus. It was a revelation that such thoughtful food could be served in Athens. What has been the most important lesson you've learned throughout your professional training as a chef? Getting the chance to experience the kitchen at La Broche in Madrid was life changing. It was more like a chemistry lab at UGA than any kitchen I'd ever seen. My biggest lessons have always come from mistakes. I tell the staff to not get bogged down when something doesn't work. The most important lesson is to know why it didn't work and how to make it better next time. What inspires your style of cooking? Travel. So many dishes at The National are inspired by wonderful food memories from my travels. Recently, I visited a close friend who is a chef in Seattle. We cooked beautiful dungeness crab and slurped down Olympia oysters. Don't be surprised to see a nod to the Pacific Northwest in the near future. Why is sourcing local produce and sustainable seafood important? Local food simply tastes better. Vegetables are picked when they're ripe and brought to the restaurant the same day, and over the years we have developed friendships with many of the farmers who supply us. I like knowing the supply chain involves just two people, the farmer and myself. Supporting other small business people and our local economy is really important to me. Our sustainable seafood program at The National is all about valuing the natural world around us. Oceans are the last frontier and it's amazing how profound our impact on them has been; sometimes it's hard to wrap your head around it because oceans are so vast. Choosing sustainable seafood is one of the easiest socially responsible actions you can take. Eat good seafood, we'll help you make good choices. You're also interested in the origin of food. What about the history of food intrigues you? I have always loved history and geography, social studies was always my best subject in school. Naturally I'm interested in where food comes from and why. The ingredients of a dish, or the way it's prepared, is very often a fascinating history lesson. Gazpacho is a great example. We think of gazpacho as a cold tomato soup from southern Spain. As it turns out, gazpacho was being made well before the discovery of America (tomatoes are a new world plant). The original gazpacho was introduced by the Moors to southern Spain. It is white, made from ground almonds, garlic and bread crumbs. The use of nuts to thicken dishes is a classic Moorish idea and is still used in Spain today, hundreds of years after the reconquest. The building The National resides in has an interesting history. How did you find the space? The space found us. Brigitta Hangartner was renovating the building for Ciné, and it was her vision to have a restaurant in the front space. It was originally built as a Plymouth dealership and then became the recap plant for the Snow Tire Company. I love the bones of the building, especially the exposed beams visible inside Ciné (and in our attic). What experience do you want people to have at The National? I hope the dining experience is comfortable and comforting. Sometimes the menu will have dishes that challenge you to try something new, but old favorites will be there, too. My goal is to present flavors from areas of the Mediterranean lesser known to Athens diners. I'm especially interested in Spain, North Africa, Turkey and the Middle East. This inspiration, combined with local ingredients creates a cuisine that is unique to Athens at this specific time of year. How has The National grown and changed since it's opening? We have definitely matured and become better cooks. I think we're more confident, and willing to take more risks. At the same time, the years have provided us with classics and staples that our customers rely on. Our relationships with our purveyors, especially local farmers, are stronger than ever. They now ask us what we'd like them to grow. It's really exciting to have an influence on what is served at the restaurant before seeds ever go into the ground. So what is your favorite dish ever served at The National? I could eat our chicken with okra, chickpeas, harissa and yogurt everyday. Okra is equally suited in Southern comfort food and exotic North African dishes. I love the interplay of yogurt and harissa, the yogurt cooling the harissa's earthy heat. Vote for Chef Peter Dale March 5 through 11 at http://www.foodandwine.com/peoples-best-new-chef/southeast! in this photo…Peter Dale at his home office {photo by Emily Hall}

Voice of the People
Revolutions are not led by politicians, they are the result of the man and woman in the street standing up, and saying "no more!". While the arts are seldom given the respect they deserve in society, often it is musicians who give a voice to the public, allowing their message to be heard the world over.
The late Hugh Masekela, who passed away last week at the age of 78, was a South African artist who used his fame to speak out against the South African government, and the inherent cruelty of the apartheid system. In what is perhaps one of his most famous songs, Stimela, Masekela talks of the migrant labour that came to Johannesburg to work on the mines. He speaks of the terrible living conditions of the miners, the physical separation from their friends and family, many of whom who had been "wantonly murdered in the dead of night", and the loss they experienced when the miners thought of all that had been taken from them. Released in 1974, a time when internal resistance to apartheid was became increasingly militant, Masekela's emotive words would have added fuel to a fire that was already starting to rage in South Africa.
In Soweto Blues, a song he collaborated on with his ex-wife, Miriam Makeba, Masekela tells the devastating story of the 1976 Soweto Uprising, which saw hundreds of children die at the hands of the police. Using Masekela's words Miriam Makeba pleads, "They are killing all the children without any publicity…..oh, they are finishing the nation. God, somebody help!".
In 1987 Hugh Masekela released the song, Bring Him Back Home, which would go on to become the anthem for Nelson Mandela's world tour, following his release from prison in 1992. Two years prior to that, Mandela had written a birthday message to Masekela, which he managed to smuggle out of Pollsmoor Prison where he was an inmate. The story goes that the letter inspired the lyrics for the song, which envisioned Mandela walking freely down the streets of South Africa.
Speaking in a 2015 interview of the role that he played in the fight against Apartheid, Masekela says
I was just a musician, making a living. And it was coincidental that I came from South Africa. You can't come from a people whose resources you use and not talk about them……They had to end (apartheid) because the country was finally rendered ungovernable by the people. Those people – and the ones who were killed – were the true heroes in the struggle for freedom in South Africa.
RIP Hugh Ramapolo Masekela, 4th April 1939-23rd January 2018

Ask Me
Ask Me: Highway 99 first paved in 1913
Q: My curiosity is about Highway 99. When was it built, and what was the original purpose of planting all the eucalyptus trees along the highway?
Mark Kistler, Squaw Valley
A: The major north-south highway through the Central Valley is officially named State Route 99 but is commonly called Highway 99 or just 99. The highway stretches along 274 miles between Red Bluff in the Sacramento Valley to the junction with Interstate 5 south of Bakersfield.
In 1909 the roadway from Sacramento to Los Angeles, which passed through Fresno, was designated as Legislative Route Number 4, according to a U.S. Department of Transportation report. Road construction was paid for with a statewide bond measure approved by voters in 1910.
The roadway was first paved about 1913. In the 1920s this two-lane road became U.S. 99 but also was called the Golden State Highway.
In the 1930s some segments were widened to three lanes, with the middle lane used for passing and turning onto side roads. The dangerous middle lane "became the site of many head-on collisions," the U.S. Department of Transportation report said.
In the early days, the highway took travelers through towns up and down the Valley. The highway traveled along Van Ness Avenue in downtown Fresno.
Between the 1930s and 1950s, the highway was "widened into a four-lane expressway, segment by segment, often on new alignments that bypassed towns along the route," the report said.
When Highway 99 was realigned through Fresno, the new route cut through Fresno's historic Chinatown and old Germantown, destroying many iconic buildings.
Eucalyptus trees were planted along California highways from the 1930s to 1960s, according to AARoads, a website for road enthusiasts. According to Fresno County's Route 99 Corridor Business Plan, the eucalyptus trees were "used to delineate the route and identify structures and curves … The trees also help to give some change and variety to the scene in the long stretches of rural freeway."
But "time and roadway construction have taken a toll" on the trees and changed the "once consistent pattern of tree groupings," the county report said. As the trees age, some have died and others have been removed.
Q: I recall Borger's meat market that may have been part of the A. Diel grocery store. It might have been on Kirk Street. Where was it located, and what is its history?
Norman Bitter, Fresno
A: Brothers Henry and August Diel, and later August's son-in-law Alex Borger, owned and operated the stores you recall.
The Diel brothers were Volga Germans born in Russia. They settled in Fresno in 1899.
Henry Diel opened H. Diel & Co. grocery store in 1906 at 258 S. F St., next door to August's home. When Henry died in 1912, August Diel took over the store.
In 1916, August Diel's daughter Anna married Alex Borger. In 1917 Diel moved the store to 2303 German St., which was renamed Kirk Street two years later. Borger began working for Diel as a clerk in 1922.
Diel died in 1937, and the next year his sons Fred and August Diel Jr. took over the grocery store but focused on their beer distributing business.
In 1947 Borger and his son Gene moved the grocery store next door to the beer business. The last year the store is listed in Fresno city directories is 1959.
Borger died in 1964. His obituary in The Bee said he and his sons operated the A. Diel Grocery for 40 years, but a 1953 news item in The Bee about a failed late-night burglary of the store refers to the business as Borger & Sons Grocery. Borger's obituary noted that "the store was well known for its German sausages, which Borger made."
Q: What is the history of the Coalinga Mineral Hot Springs resort, and what were the health benefits of the springs?
Susan Locke, Lemoore
A: The spa was originally known as Rogers' Hot Springs, named for James J. Rogers, who discovered the series of 19 hot springs located 18 miles west of Coalinga.
In 1857 Rogers killed a bear in an area later called Bear Canyon. A history written in 1995 by Glenn H. Marcussen says Rogers "moseyed over to a spring to wash the bear's blood off his hands" and discovered the 112-degree sulfur-smelling springs.
Rogers built a hotel and wooden soaking tubs there in the 1860s. "Some people were wheeled in as invalids and after being soaked the proper amount, miraculously walked to the four-horse stage," the history said.
The hotel burned to the ground in the 1870s, not long after Rogers sold the property to Colonel Burrus. To finance a new hotel, Burrus borrowed money from Gustav Kreyenhagen. When Burrus was unable to repay the loan, Kreyenhagen took over ownership of the resort.
Kreyenhagen and his sons rebuilt the hotel, but it too burned to the ground in 1884. "With it went the linen and silver, the four-legged square piano and the precious library Kreyenhagen and his wife, Julia, had brought from Germany," said a 1962 Bee story.
A third hotel was built in 1896, and the hot springs reached its "social peak" during that time, the Bee story said. A horse-drawn stage ran between the Southern Pacific Railroad station at Alcalde to the resort three days a week. After "taking the waters," visitors could go for hikes, play croquet and horseshoes, go hunting or attend nightly dances at the resort.
The Kreyenhagen family operated the resort, which became known at Fresno Hot Springs, until 1904. After 1919, the resort fell into disuse and disrepair.
Robert and Eleta Abell and three business partners bought the resort in 1926 and named it Coalinga Mineral Hot Springs. People came again to drink the water or soak in tubs for their health, or simply to escape the Valley heat.
"I've seen too many people come here sick and go away cured to have any doubts about the power of the water to help them," Eleta Abell said in a 1967 Bee story. She touted the foul-smelling water as a cure-all. "I know from experience that many people with rheumatism, arthritis, low and high blood pressure, kidney disease and heart problems have been helped."
The Abells' hotel, like others before it, had no heat except for the steaming water from the springs. Kerosene lamps provided light. The Abells incorporated the resort, modernized the hotel, built new cabins and turned the resort into a year-round destination. The hotel burned to the ground in 1962.
Today the springs are part of the Coalinga Mineral Springs Recreation Area. According to the R.C. Baker Museum in Coalinga, the resort has been closed for years, but the area still attracts hikers and picnickers.

I think I've tried every wheat-free, dairy-free mac-n-cheese on the market. And I've got to be honest, they are ICKY. Not even remotely resembling the real thing. After another major disappointment with Road End Organics Dairy-free Mac&Cheese (with brown rice pasta), I decided that I would find the time and only make big vats of my own mac-n-cheese, freeze and eat.
So, here's a fabulous wheat-free, dairy-free mac-n-cheese recipe you can actually enjoy:
Use a few heels of Ezekiel bread (for Celiac's try non-wheat bread like Food for Life's Brown Rice or Millet bread) in the freezer to use as bread crumbs.
Serves 4
12 oz quinoa pasta
*Ancient Harvest quinoa pasta
2 c rice milk
*Pacific Rice milk
2 T quinoa flour
*Ancient Harvest quinoa flour (recommend same pasta/flour blend)
1 ½ c shredded almond pepper jack cheese
*Lisanatti Almond Jalapeno Jack Style Cheese
1 T Dijon mustard
1 T salt
4 pieces Ezekiel bread (or other non-wheat bread), crumbled
¼ c soy parmesan cheese
*Soya parmesan cheese
8×8 baking pan
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook quinoa pasta according to package instructions. Heat rice milk in large saucepan over low heat until simmering. Slowly whisk in quinoa flour. Whisk constantly for 2 minutes. Cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Add cheese, mustard, salt, and pasta. Stir over low heat until heated through. Pour into baking pan. Add bread crumbs to top. Sprinkle additional garlic salt. Bake for 20 minutes.
And if you've found a mac-n-cheese mix that tastes good, please let us know. Would LOVE to find one.
-Heather 🙂
