John Barleycorn (in Italian Giovanni Chicco d'Orzo) is a traditional song spread in England and Scotland, focused on this popular character, embodiment of the spirit of beer and whiskey. (see)
There are several text versions collected at different times; the oldest known is from 1460.
As often happens with the most popular ballads we talk about family in reference to a set of texts and melodies connected to each other or related.
The plot traced by Pete Wood is well documented and we refer you to his John Barleycorn revisited for the deepening: the first ballad that identifies a man as the spirit of barley is Allan-a-Maut (Allan del Malto) and it comes from Scotland .
The first ballad that bears the name John Barleycorn is instead of 1624, printed in London "A Pleasant new Ballad.To be sung evening and morn, of the bloody murder of Sir John Barleycorn" shortened in The Pleasant Ballad: as Pete Wood points out, all the elements that characterize the current version of the ballad are already present, the oath of the knights to kill John, the rain that quenches him, and the sun that warms him to give him energy, the miller who grinds him between two stones.
It is narrated the death of the King of Barley according to myths and beliefs that date back to the beginning of the peasant culture, customs that were followed in England in these forms until the early decades of the '900.
According to James George Frazier in "The Golden Bough", anciently "John" was chosen among the youth of the tribe and treated like a king for a year; at the appointed time, however, he was killed, following a macabre ritual: his body was dragged across the fields so that the blood soaked the earth and fed the barley.
More recently in the Celtic peasant tradition the spirit of the wheat entered the reaper who cut the last sheaf (who symbolically killed the god) and he had to be sacrificed just as described in the song (or at least figuratively and symbolically). see more
However, the spirit of the Wheat-Barley never dies because it is reborn the following year with the new crop, its strength and its ardor are contained in the whiskey that is obtained from the distillation of barley malt!
"The Pleasant ballad" was set to the tune "Shall I Lie Beyond Thee?" on the broadside.63 This tune is quoted by a number of sources by a variety of very similar titles, including "Lie Lulling Beyond Thee" . It is this writer's belief from a variety of considerations, including Simpson 64 that these are one and the same tune. There has been some confusion regarding the use of the tune "Stingo" for various members of the family. Several publications say that John Barleycorn should be sung to this tune, (including Dixon), and some people have assumed this was the tune for "The Pleasant Ballad." These impressions seem to have originated from Chappell 65, who meant that "Stingo" was the tune for another member of the family "The Little Barleycorne", a view which accords with his own comments on the version in the Roxburghe Ballads 66, with Simpson, and Baring-Gould who says '[Stingo] is not the air used in the broadsides nor in the west of England' 67. Two further tunes, "The Friar & the Nun" and "Twas when the seas were roaring", are mentioned by Simpson. Mas Mault has been suggested to be set to the tune "Triumph and Joy", the original title of "Greensleeves". 68 (Pete Wood)
In fact, as many as 45 different melodies have been used for centuries for this ballad, and Pete Wood analyzes the four most common melodies.
The 1906 version of John Stafford published by Sharp in English Folk Songs is probably the melody that comes closest to the time of James I

The Shepherd Haden version became "standard" for being included in The Penguin Book of English Folk Songs.T
Traffic (Learned by Mike Waterson)
|Traffic lyrics
There was three men come out of the West
Their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn(1) must die.
They ploughed, they sowed, they harrowed him in
Throwing clods all on his head
And these three men made a solemn vow
John barleycorn was Dead.
They've left him in the ground for a very long time
Till the rains from heaven did fall
Then little Sir John's sprung up his head
And so amazed them all
They've left him in the ground till the Midsummer
Till he's grown both pale and wan
Then little Sir John's grown a long, long beard
And so become a man.
They hire'd men with their scythes so sharp
To cut him off at the knee.
They've bound him and tied him around the waist
Serving him most barb'rously
They hire'd men with their sharp pitch-forks
To prick him to the heart
But the drover he served him worse than that
For he's bound him to the cart.
They've rolled him around and around the field
Till they came unto a barn
And there they made a solemn mow
Of Little Sir John Barleycorn
They've hire'd men with their crab-tree sticks
To strip him skin from bone
But the miller, he served him worse than that,
For he's ground him between two stones.
Here's Little sir John in the nut-brown bowl(2)
And brandy in the glass
But Little Sir John in the nut-brown bowl's
Proved the stronger man at last
For the hunts man he can't hunt the fox
Nor so loudly blow his horn
And the tinker, he can't mend Kettles or pots
Without a little of Sir John Barleycorn.

2) The cask of walnut or oak used today to age the whiskey

The version of Robert Pope taken by Vaughan Williams in his Folk Song Suite
version for choir and orchestra
from Shropshire
Fred Jordan live
The version published by Robert Burns in 1782, reworks the ancient folk song and becomes the basis of subsequent versions
The first 3 stanzas are similar to the standard version, apart from the three kings coming from the east to make the solemn oath to kill John Barleycorn, in fact in the English version the three men arrive from the West: to me personally the hypothesis that Burnes he wanted to point out the 3 Magi Kings … it does not seem pertinent to the deep pagan substratum of history: Christianity (or the cult of the God of Light) doesnt want to kill the King of the Wheat, unless you identify the king of the Grain with the Christ (a "blasphemous" comparison that was immediately removed from subsequent versions).
History is the detailed transformation of the grain spirit, grown strong and healthy during the summer, reaped and threshed as soon as autumn arrives, and turned into alcohol; and the much more detailed description (always compared to the standard version) of the pleasures that it provides to men, so that they can draw from the drink, intoxication and inspiration. Burns was notoriously a great connoisseur of whiskey and the last verse is right in his style!
The indicated melody is Lull [e] Me Beyond Thee; other melodies that fit the lyrics are "Stingo" (John Playford, 1650) and "Up in the Morning Early"
The version of the Tickawinda takes up part of the text by singing the stanzas I, II, III, V, VII, XV
|Robert Burns
There was three kings into the east,
Three kings both great and high,
And they hae sworn a solemn oath
John Barleycorn should die.
They took a plough and plough'd him down,
Put clods upon his head,
And they hae sworn a solemn oath
John Barleycorn was dead
But the cheerful Spring came kindly on,
And show'rs began to fall;
John Barleycorn got up again,
And sore surpris'd them all
The sultry suns of Summer came,
And he grew thick and strong,
His head weel arm'd wi' pointed spears,
That no one should him wrong.
The sober Autumn enter'd mild,
When he grew wan and pale;
His bending joints and drooping head
Show'd he began to fail.
His coulour sicken'd more and more,
He faded into age;
And then his enemies began
To show their deadly rage.
They've taen a weapon, long and sharp,
And cut him by the knee;
Then ty'd him fast upon a cart,
Like a rogue for forgerie(1).
They laid him down upon his back,
And cudgell'd him full sore;
They hung him up before the storm,
And turn'd him o'er and o'er.
They filled up a darksome pit
With water to the brim,
They heaved in John Barleycorn,
There let him sink or swim
They laid him out upon the floor,
To work him farther woe,
And still, as signs of life appear'd,
They toss'd him to and fro.
They wasted, o'er a scorching flame,
The marrow of his bones;
But a Miller us'd him worst of all,
For he crush'd him between two stones.
And they hae taen his very heart's blood,
And drank it round and round;
And still the more and more they drank,
Their joy did more abound.
John Barleycorn was a hero bold,
Of noble enterprise,
For if you do but taste his blood,
'Twill make your courage rise.
'Twill make a man forget his woe;
'Twill heighten all his joy:
'Twill make the widow's heart to sing,
Tho' the tear were in her eye.
Then let us toast John Barleycorn,
Each man a glass in hand;
And may his great posterity
Ne'er fail in old Scotland!

Steeleye Span from Below the Salt 1972
I (Spoken)
There were three men
Came from the west
Their fortunes for to tell,
And the life of John Barleycorn as well.
They laid him in three furrows deep,
Laid clods upon his head,
Then these three man made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn was dead.
The let him die for a very long time
Till the rain from heaven did fall,
Then little Sir John sprang up his head
And he did amaze them all.
They let him stand till the midsummer day,
Till he looked both pale and wan.
The little Sir John he grew a long beard
And so became a man.
Fa la la la, it's a lovely day
Fa la la la lay o
Fa la la la, it's a lovely day

They have hired men with the scythes so sharp,
To cut him off at the knee,
The rolled him and they tied him around the waist,
They served him barbarously.
They have hired men with the crab-tree sticks,
To cut him skin from bone,
And the miller has served him worse than that,
For he's ground him between two stones.
They've wheeled him here,
they've wheeled him there,
They've wheeled him to a barn,
And thy have served him worse than that,
They've bunged him in a vat.
They have worked their will on John Barleycorn
But he lived to tell the tale,
For they pour him out of an old brown jug
And they call him home brewed ale(1).
1) The oldest drink in the world obtained from the fermentation of various cereals. The beer originally was classified out as "beer" (with hops) and "ale" (without hops) . Its processing processes start with a spontaneous fermentation of the starch (ie the sugar) that is the main component in cereals, when they come into contact with water, due to wild yeasts contained in the air. And just as in bread, female food, EARTH, WATER, AIR and FIRE combine magically to give life to a divine food that strengthens and inebriates.
The English term of homebrewing or the art of home-made beer translates into Italian with an abstruse word: domozimurgia and domozimurgo is the producer of homemade beer in which domo, is the Latin root for "home"; zimurgo is the one who practices "zimurgy", or the science of fermentation processes. The domozimurgo is therefore the one who, within his own home, studies, applies and experiments the alchemy of fermentation. Making beer for your own consumption (including that of the inevitable friends and relatives) is absolutely legal as well as fun and relatively simple although you never stop learning through the exchange of experiences and experimentation

Bear (Bacon) With Me
Time for a big, 2+ week catch-all.
Various, Sundry, Etc.
So I've been remiss in posting lately. Reticent, reluctant, reclusive. Turkey season has even come and gone with nary a peep. So what's up?
Fly Fishing 101
Saturday morning, I got up, had my coffee, and hopped in the car as Matt headed off to his office's event. He headed east toward his office, and I drove over towards the west side of town. I had a Fly Fishing 101 class to attend. Continue reading
Wild Food: Maple Pulled Bear-becue
I love molasses. I love the savory/bitter/sweetness of it. So, naturally, I also love the "maple molasses" we ended up with as a result of not monitoring the temperature of our first batch of maple syrup closely enough. I'll probably put it right on pancakes, and I also plan to bake with it. But the first idea that struck me was to make it into barbecue sauce.
Urban Sugaring part II
The weekend of the 20th, we began boiling down our maple sap. Our first set up was a simple stock pot over our propane turkey fryer, and it stayed that way for another week
Urban Sugaring + Taxidermy News
With the way Matt's work is going lately, we had to find something close to home to do this past weekend. And this time, we took that very literally.
Checking In.
So, things have gotten a bit haywire around these parts. Work's been really super busy for Matt, plus work got busy for me AND my summer intensive started on Tuesday. Each class session is about a week's worth of material, meaning I have a week's worth of homework/reading every night, 4 days per week for the next two weeks. Plus keeping the house livable, plus my job, plus attempting to remain fairly healthy. Obviously, my time is a bit crunched. But Political Thought in Gilded Age America is pretty damn fascinating.
However, there are some movings and shakings here, too. Monday was my birthday. To mark my inevitable march towards old age, Matt got me a sweet birthday present, which I have yet to use. Hopefully this weekend:
It took me a good three days to find a reasonably priced car carrier anywhere nearby, so I wasn't able to take it out last weekend. Plus a few days of severe thunderstorms really put a damper on my desire to be in the middle of a large body of water.
Also, Matt got all the fiberglass patching done on the outside of the hull. It's enough of a pain to 'glass upside down with sticky, runny resin that all fiberglassing moving forward will be done on the interior. Then we'll lay the floor supports and go from there. I plan to make a video compilation eventually of all the steps this Spring.
In spite of being busy, I do still have my weekends, but since I'll be writing several papers already, expect any posts to be pretty curt.
Slowly Inching Forward
Two things for this post today. First: we finally have a dedicated smoker.
Gotten at Sears on a really good sale. Smokers of this size at just about every store, whether electric, propane, or wood-fired run about $115-$150. I got this one for $80. This one is propane, and hopefully we'll be able to make a couple venison sausages soon, and smoked trout if we can catch a couple more. No more attempting to smoke things in the grill with the smoker attachment. It never, ever came out right for me, even when watched like a hawk.
Thing two: Matt's got the beams for the engine cavity of the boat cut out and resined.
If the weather dries out this weekend, he hopes to be laying a few pieces of fiberglass mat on the interior of the hull, and double checking each of the patches before we begin to lay down the floor supports.
I suppose a third thing could be that the exterior of the gas tank is done. Now we just need to treat and seal the interior of it.
Matt ground off all the rust, and then painted it with the Rustoleum made for grills and other high-heat, high-durability applications. Not that we think the gas tank will need to withstand fire (we hope). We used this on our actual grill, and it's kept that from rusting, in spite of sitting out in all 4 seasons.
Wild Food: Butterflied, Pan-fried Rainbow Trout
Saturday afternoon, we got in the truck to head west of town to pick up some of our trail cameras, and then hit Black earth Creek for a little fishing. There are some camera images to put up later, which is encouraging.
One trout on the day. I saw some swells, but otherwise had nothing to show for crawling through hackthorns, mud, and scrubby black willows. Matt's little trout was 10.5″, an inch and a half over the limit. He came home with us.
I didn't want to fillet the fish and waste all that meat, since it was feeding the both of us. So I consulted Mr Hank Shaw's blog, and lo. There was a tutorial on deboning a fish.
So, with the fish mostly bone-free, I started in on dinner. It was a simple one- I made Mexican-style rice, sauteed some snow peas, and sliced up half an avocado. I seasoned the fish lightly with coriander, salt, and a touch of cumin, then pan-fried it, skin side down.
I kept the heat at medium-med-low, and about halfway through I covered the cast iron pan to finish cooking the top of the fish, since I wasn't going to flip it. It came out moist and flaky. After getting the fish de-boned, the cooking process for it and the rest of the meal clocked in under 30 minutes. I split the fish lengthwise, and we each got half, along with a hearty helping of rice. We're hoping to get out for trout a bit more often.

NYX is no doubt becoming my favourite drugstore beauty brand, especially for their lipsticks. Recently when I took a browse at their stand in Boots, I decided to switch up my lip game a bit. As much as I love my mattes, I thought it was about time I went for a bit of a gloss.
NYX Intense Butter Gloss
The first of the Intense Butter Gloss range I picked up was a bright orangey red shade in 'Orangesicle', the perfect fun shade for summer! The NYX Intense Butter Gloss's are "Buttery soft and silky smooth. Each glossy color delivers sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky, leaving your lips soft, supple and kissable." In terms of these claims, I can say that it does have great pigmentation and glides on the lips with ease. I agree it's not sticky but kissable? I'm not sure. Is it just my boyfriend who refuses to kiss me whatever lipstick I have on, even if it's nude?! Haha.
A mirror is needed to apply but there's no need for a liner beforehand. The lasting power was actually brilliant – I wore this lipstick from 11 am to 4 pm a few weekends ago and was eating and drinking throughout the day. It didn't really budge, just needed a top up once to get the gloss/shine back!
This colour is definitely a bit more out there for me, but I absolutely adore it, and can't wait to try some more of the butter gloss range!

What If the Analogy is Wrong?, by Tim Duy: I say this with no exaggeration: The picture painted by the data flow of the past two weeks is deep into the left tail of any of my reasonable distribution of probable economic outcomes. The die is now cast – fiscal stimulus will be too late to prevent the snowballing that will occur throughout the first half of next year. In this environment, policymaking will become increasingly desperate.
The free fall in economic activity reported by the ISM in both the manufacturing and nonmanufacturing sectors yielded the worst for the labor market. There is no way to candy coat the November employment report. It was simply dismal; downward revisions to the previous month boosted the sense of dread that emanated from the BLS release. And the damage to labor markets appears to be accelerating, with the rise in initial jobless claims last week pointing toward a December job loss of 600k or more. Expectations of rising headline unemployment rates can be tempered only by defections from the labor force; I would not be surprised to see the broad U-6 measure of unemployment coast through 15% before the first quarter is over.
With the labor market in disarray, the Fed will feel compelled to do more, as only they can deliver stimulus in the near term. The FOMC begins a two day meeting tomorrow, with a further 50bp of rate cutting almost certain. Also almost certain is that no one believes that the last 100bp has much stimulative power to offer. The rate cut itself, thus, is largely irrelevant. What is relevant is the statement – will the Fed more explicitly define their apparent policy of quantitative easing? Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's recent speech set up expectations that such a shift was coming. Failure to follow through would be yet another communication failure.
I am torn on the wisdom of this move. On one hand, using the Great Depression as a guide, the appropriate policy direction appears clear – flood the markets with liquidity, coupled with massive fiscal stimulus. This is the track the policy train is on. I completely understand this policy in a closed economy suffering from insufficient demand relative to supply. But when faced with a large open economy with a substantial current account deficit, the back of my mind screams "caution." It is an itch I can't scratch.
In my view, policymakers tend to see the current account deficit as almost an unimportant residual, something that just falls out of the global economy, but tells you little about the economy itself. I tend to view it as representing a fundamental imbalance. I believed that as part of the adjustment of the past year, a combination of import compression and export expansion would eliminate the imbalance, and that the appropriate role of policy was to facilitate and cushion that imbalance.
The US trade data surprised on the downside — and while it is far too soon for the dollar's recent rise to really have an impact on the trade data, the rise in the deficit perhaps did remind the market that over time a rising dollar would tend to maintain the still large trade deficit not bring it down. Macro man was far more surprised by the rise in the non-oil deficit than I was; it was always going to be race down between imports and exports.`
Now to my doubts about the proposed remedies, namely monster stimulus and monetary easing. First, as mentioned before, the analogy is to the US in the Depression, which we have said repeatedly before is questionable. The US in the 1920s was the world's biggest creditor, exporter, and manufacturer. Our position then is analogous to China's now. Indeed, Keynes in the 1930s urged America to take even more aggressive measures, and argued that it was not reasonable for the US to expect over-consuming, debt-burdened countries like the UK and France to take up the demand slack. So even though most economists are invoking Keynes, it isn't clear he's prescribe such aggressive stimulus for the US and UK now.`
Speculation that the dollar has peaked gained steam last week as the currency plunged 4.9 percent against the euro to $1.3369, its biggest drop since Europe's common currency was created in 1999. It weakened 1.75 percent versus the yen.`

New! Kindergarten Enrichment Program
Some of you have asked for continued enrichment with us while your child is going to kindergarten and we are pleased to announce we have
decided to offer this program!
What is kindergarten enrichment? We will be starting with what your child learned in pre-k and begin where that program
left off. We will review the French phonics sounds and continue on to make words teaching your child to begin to read and write in French by taking the phonetic sounds and linking them together to make words. We will do this in a fun and creative manner so your child will enjoy their time spent with us.
If you have a child who loves school and wants more or if you would like them to have that extra practice this is the program for you. Children will be
integrated into the preschool classes, but will be taught concepts seperately from preschool children. They will still have centre time, but will receive an
increased academic or "table time". Children will be taught in very small groups (no more than 4) so they receive very individual instruction. If your
child did not complete pre-k that is not an issue we are willing and capable of working with children of all levels. Your child does not need to be in
Kindergarten to benefit from this program. This program is for all children aged 4 and up who would like that little bit extra in the safe and caring
environmnent of Préscolaire Grandissant Ensemble.
We have limited space available for this program. Children can attend 2-5 days a week. You may choose the days that work for you as long as space allows. For registration forms please go to registration tab and download the registration forms. Mark your registration form enrichment so we
know which program to prepare for your child. Forms can be mailed in or dropped off at the school.
We may consider doing this same reading program in English by special request. Please contact us if this is something you are interested in.
Fees will be as follows: Classes run:
2 class/week $110/month Monday-Friday 9:15-11:30
3 class/week $150/month Monday-Thursday 1:00-3:00
4 class/week $220/ month
5 class/week $260/month You may choose your classes from any of these times as space allows.
Please be advised that to receive optimum benefits of this program we recommend at least 2 classes/week.

Oops, I Did It Again
So last time I wrote about this pattern, I talked about putting it away. Well, I did. For a while. Until I realized the top I want to live in this summer is the rayon/Lycra knit version I made in May (2nd from right in the photo below). Over the weekend I pulled out the pattern again and cut out another rayon/Lycra knit. Tonight I sewed up the hems to finish it. I do still wear them all, so the new one will be added to the rotation. And if you're wondering, that little flower on the "apex" area of Zillie thankfully does not hit *me* in the same place.
The pattern, in case you don't have it memorized yet, is Simplicity 4122, below (neckline modified):

Do We Put Too Much Pressure On Our Kids?
My DH and I were able to attend our son's high school open house last night. It was good to get to meet his teachers and interact with them. Unfortunately, we talked so much to each teacher we were not able to get to 3 of his classes.
What I was surprised to see:
- Parents aggressively confronting teachers regarding their child's grades (i.e. Pre-Calculus)
- So few parents attending the open house (for two of his classes we were the only parent to show up)
- Parents expressing their displeasure with their kids academic performance to other parents in public
- Kids eat too much junk food (my son is not perfect, but compared to others one coke per week and candy bar doesn't seem excessive, from what I understand that is the typical breakfast for his friends)
- DS is shocked that kids seem to eat excessively and continuously, whenever they stop on his band trips the kids pile out to buy junk food galore (my son has always been one who eats when he is hungry and doesn't typically gorge himself, apparently my DS was almost to the point of getting sick when he saw some of what his friends were eating and how much)
- People don't know how to enjoy downtime and just take it easy occasionally
- People don't take the time to be with their families
- People always seem to put too much pressure on themselves
- People are too materialistic
- Girls don't understand how to dress and presents themselves with modesty (such and such would look so much nicer if she removed her make-up and didn't dress in short dresses/some of the latest trendy clothes)
What I heard from my DS today:
- One parent was at school today and approaching several of their child's teachers about their child turning in additional assignments in order to improve their grade (today is the last day of the six weeks and the grades must be turned in today)
- Several kids were visibly upset that they were receiving "B's" in an advanced placement class and afraid of the repercussions from their parents
- That our son is glad that he doesn't have to face this type of 'pressure' from us, he says that we have always expected him to perform his best and if he says that he has done his best then that is good enough for us, no additional pressure (but he does give us a heads up on classes that are going to be grades lower than 95, we always ask if he thinks there is something that he thinks he might need to do differently and we have an upfront discussion)
- Several of his classmates are getting fewer than 3 hours sleep each night because they are overly involved in extracurricular activities and with the AP class demands they are stretched to exhaustion, they are falling out in classes and look terrible
- Our son is heavily involved in band as his extracurricular activity and as he says that is enough to stretch and challenge him in addition to his class load; (some of his classmates are involved in sports, AP classes, cheerleader, 4H, etc and are expected to give 110% to everything)
I guess what I am trying to say is that I keep getting affirmations everyday that I am not in control of my life or my son's no matter how much I think so...
I have been lifting up in prayer my recognition of my need to surrender and trust the Lord to direct and lead my life and my son's life each and everyday.
My writings seem to be getting more intense the closer to graduation from high school we come. My DS is scheduled to graduate May of 2010 and we have a ways to go, but it seems to be going faster than I expected. I am full of apprehension and some fear of the future, but at least in stating it, I am taking steps to pray and study the scriptures to assist me in this period of my life. I would appreciate your lifting these concerns up in prayer...

A Touch of Vintage by ainebeauty featuring a bracelet bangle
After a recent trip to a wonderful little vintage fair in Brighton, I came away lusting after some new vintage style fashion pieces. I did manage to get a pair of sunglasses very similar to the pair above – a tiny haul post will follow this weekend. I've always been a fan of vintage pieces, they just suit my body shape better! Plus who doesn't love to feel glamorous?
So as I dream of owning more vintage pieces I thought I would share some beautiful items I spotted on polyvore. I've even included a stunning radiant orchid dress – the colour of the year!

Our first speech last night was on reducing our carbon footprint by buying local veg and our second was how to reduce belly fat by cutting down on carbs. A very clear message to eat more cauliflower. Knew that already? Don't be too sure, our third speech was on confirmation bias followed by a fourth speech on the role of simulation in modern life.
Thanks to everyone for a great night. Congratulations to Rebecca for Best Speaker, Alan for Best Table Topic and Dan for Best Evaluator.
Thanks to all our guests and our visitors from Area Command, Dorothy and Gordon.
Next meeting is the Area Contest this Saturday. Workshop starts at 11am and the contests start at 2pm. Feel free to bring guests.

RESERVED SEATING is now obtainable for all performances – you can decide on your exact seat! And this is my top ten comedy movies ten. Please feel cost-free to vote on your faves and leave a comment if you'd like to add any other cool 2010 comedy films that you enjoyed and would like recommend! Now that's a excellent outcome for Paramount Photographs even so of the leading 10 grossing movies of all time (2nd July 2014), only two of the motion pictures have been developed by Paramount Photos. Films often produce vital history lessons for those ignorant or unaware of particular events. Much as I really like Hallmark and specifically the Christmas Films I personally believe 30 new ones this year is overkill – they're going to reach saturation point.
That is why at times the actors in the films cannot reveal that they are filming Hallmark movies – simply because they have to wait until Hallmark makes an announcement. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is in my 10 very best comedy motion pictures because of this excellent comic actor, plus loads of animals, a mystery adventure and plenty of gags this is a fantastic loved ones comedy film. Hi I grew up watching western ,I consider they are wonderful.I discovered this lens right after creating my lens on westerns television shows.Wonderful movies. The rest of the motion pictures you listed are so very old and I am nonetheless a infant at that time.
The Balboa has an endless line of wonderful motion pictures coming to their twin screens this month so check out their site. He's got a complete list of films exactly where he plays himself – the indie, awkward kid. Most gangster films focus on the American Italian mafia, nonetheless, if there are wonderful gangster movies about a number of other gangs which includes American Gangster, about the Black gangsters in Harlem, City of God, about young gangsters in the streets of Brazil, and Eastern Promises, about the Russian mafia in the US. These are just a handful of of some other fantastic gangster subjects.
It definitely deserves to be called a single of the five greatest Western films of all time. I'm not a lot of a superhero fan , so I'm not like any testimonials of the legions of superhero movies that continue to descend upon our cinemas. The Weinstein Organization are an fascinating firm with an intriguing library of movies which have not disappointed. Keep in mind, too, that writer Julie Sherman Wolfe stated she is functioning on TWO Hallmark Christmas motion pictures for this year. One of DreamWorks greatest and most successful divisions was DreamWorks Animation which brought DreamWorks enormous monetary accomplishment with movies such as Antz, The Prince of Egypt, Chicken Run and Shrek (1 and two). Till DreamWorks Animation was spun off in 2004 into its own publicly traded business beneath the management of Jeffrey Katzenberg.
At times sentimental, sad and surprisingly funny, Battle Royale is the ultimate guilty pleasure and one of the finest Japanese motion pictures ever. I hope you enjoyed seeking at the upcoming Christmas films for the 2017 Christmas season! And, even though they could be couple of and far among, from the 20's to the 2000s these wise, frequently prescient movies that place science first have always been around making us feel, filing us with wonder, and giving us a realistic glimpse into what might just extremely nicely be the future to come.

We're back in fashionable Nişantaşı this week for tantalising exhibitions to warm up your winter. Two parallel streets, Mim Kemal Öke Caddesi and Abdi Ipekçi Caddesi (above), are of most interest, holding the bulk of the neighbourhood's galleries, restaurants, hotels and boutiques. These are also the streets which resonate most with the neighbourhood's gallerists. Elizabet Şalabi of the Chalabi Art Gallery and auction house Alif Art says Nişantaşı is a prime spot for cultural institutions and believes a number of the galleries in the area are among the best in the city. These two streets are the first places Merkur Gallery's director, Sabiha Kurtulmuş, would visit in the neighbourhood. And x-ist's director, Yasemin Elçi, says the area's drawcard is its central location, adding that 'The proximity of the galleries makes for a nice art tour.'
We will take the same route as last time, starting at the north tip of Maçka Park. Down Mim Kemal Öke Caddesi, opposite Melanzana restaurant, Merkur Gallery, at No 12, is exhibiting the beautiful hyperrealist paintings of Sinan Demirtaş. Entitled The Journey, the exhibition features the artist's latest series in which he plays with the concept of space (above image). 'Space is a limiting element for the body in the artist's works. Figures leaning in different directions cause them to effuse on the canvas and look for new spaces,' explains Kurtulmuş. When selecting artists Kurtulmuş considers 'the notions, concepts, use of materials and the aesthetic perceptions of the artist's portfolio', and Demirtaş is a perfect fit.
Across the road at No 17, the Chalabi Art Gallery is showcasing lots for Alif Art's upcoming Ottoman and European Works of Art auction, to be held on December 8 at the Esma Sultan Palace. There are sumptuous calligraphic panels on offer, including one by Hafız Yusuf Efendi, and a selection of fine paintings from Ottoman-period Turkish painters and 20th-century contemporaries. Place your bets on Ibrahim Çallı's sensual 'Nude' (above), whose asking price is a cool quarter of a million pounds. From December 11 the gallery will host Foreclosed, a joint exhibition of work from the Syrian artist Mouhammed Imad and the Turkish glass artist Felekşan Emel Onar.
Paul Morrison, 'Post', 2013, acrylic on linen, 224 x 183 cm, courtesy Alison Jacques Gallery, London
Parallel on Abdi Ipekçi Caddesi, Dirimart at No 7 is hosting Paul Morrison's show, Black Light. Well-known in his native England for his large monochrome botanical prints, Istanbul audiences can now get a taste for his unique style. The gallery's director, Doğa Oktem, says: 'We have appreciated Paul Morrison's work for many years, so it was beyond due time to host his first solo show in Turkey.' Dirimart was established in Nişantaşı in 2002 and, due to its success there, has started setting up projects in other temporary spaces.
Further down the street, opposite Vakko and Bang & Olufsen, Kare Gallery at No 22 (on the second floor), will be hosting a solo show of Taylan Akdağ, Daily Life (above image), from December 3. Says the gallery's director, Fatma Saka: 'I have been following the works of Akdağ for two to three years. I like his designs and his characteristic linear style which he uses to represent patterns of urban life. Recently, Kare Gallery's portfolio of artists has been changing to almost only represent young and emerging artists. As a young artist, Akdağ's art fits into our portfolio very well.'
Pınar Du Pre, 'All of Me', 2013, 180 x 120 cm
Next door, on the first floor of the Gülen Apartment, Galeri Linart will be hosting the Austrian-Turkish artist Pınar Du Pre's colourful 'Jugendstil' pop-art works. The show, Snapshots, on from December 5, will feature extreme close-ups of female characters, employed to explore the darker side of human nature – the aggressive drive for consumer satisfaction.
DECOLIFE, 'Saint Jorge', 2013, spray paint and acrylic on wood, 46 x 33 cm
Further down the street, x-ist, in the basement of Kaşıkçıoğlu Apartment at No 42, is offering something a bit different. This well-established gallery always pushes boundaries and the current exhibition is no exception, with art from the Brazilian street artist Andre' Ruiz de Freitas, aka DECOLIFE. Yasemin Elçi is excited about this exhibition: 'DECOLIFE is our first international artist. This is ground-breaking both for the gallery and the art scene in Turkey because street artists are a closed group in the country since they want to remain anonymous. There are amazing street artists in Turkey but they need to be promoted.' DECOLIFE left home when he was 18 and has been travelling the world painting graffiti. Now, he's using x-ist's gallery space as a 'street' and painting freely all over the walls to present his show, Mind the Gap. 'We wanted to create some awareness about street art in Turkey, since it's not displayed in galleries here, like it is in Europe or the USA,' Elçi says.
Then down Atiye Sokak, a narrow street full of restaurants, and onto Teşvikiye Caddesi. You will be facing the neo-classical Teşvikiye Police Station and the neo-Baroque Teşvikiye Mosque, both hangovers from Abdülmecid I's rule. Slightly to the right of the nearby monument to Hüsrev Gerede, down Maçka Caddesi, at No 35 (in the same building as Iş Bank), is the not-for-profit art space Milli Reasürans Gallery, hosting the atmospheric black-and-white photographs of Aykut Köksal. Silence and Light pays tribute to the works of the master architect, Sinan and, true to the exhibition's name, the use of light in the photographs is beautifully executed (above image).
For lunch, Kurtulmuş frequents Delicatessen and Hünkar, both on Mim Kemal Öke Caddesi (the former at No 19/1 and the latter at No 21). Elçi also enjoys Hünkar and the home cooking at Doğaya Dönüş on Fırın Sokak, just off Hüsrev Gerede Caddesi. Oktem enjoys the casual feel at Bread & Butter at No 1C Mim Kemal Öke Caddesi and the Italian fare at Mama (on Abdi Ipekçi Caddesi, nextdoor to Dirimart). Saka recommends Brasserie for a spot of French gâterie at No 23/1 Abdi Ipekçi Caddesi, and House Café (opposite Atiye Sokak, situated in a building on one side of the Teşvikiye Mosque), the place to be seen in Nişantaşı.

You won't find a bigger Texas Rangers fan than 13-year-old Byron Ingram from Red Oak and after a life full of struggle, the ball club made his wish come true.
Byron's struggles started at birth. He was born a twin, but neither child was supposed to live past infancy.
The Ingram family lost one child, but Byron survived with a long list of life-threatening complications.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
"Byron has been severe medically challenged ever since then. Cerebral Palsy, Arnold-Chiari, he's got a heart condition, he's hearing impaired. Just about everything, he has a little bit of," said his mom Amanda Ingram-Rogers.
"I feel, mad," said Byron when asked how he feels on days that aren't going to great.
Nothing is easy for Byron, but that doesn't keep him sidelined from his passion, sports. He's not just a fan, he also plays baseball and football.
"One of the last games, the teams had coordinated... they had coordinated with each other to allow him to make a touchdown. They snapped him the ball and he fell down. He picked it up, and they helped him back up and he ran some more and he did it again, he fell about four or five times but he did it," said Amanda. "It was just one of those moments."
And another "moment" came Sept. 4.
Thanks to the Texas Rangers and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Byron spent the day as a big leaguer with his favorite team.
Byron got a personal tour of the club house from outfield Daniel Robertson and then he spent time with his favorite player, Adrian Beltre.
Byron also got to play catch with Colby Lewis. That's when, thanks to a ball decorated with Mickey Mouse, he found out his biggest wish was granted, a Disney cruise.
"I'm excited about the Disney Cruise, and all the fun at the water park," said Byron.
Mom Amanda said it was the perfect finish to a perfect day.
"Just to see the challenges that he overcomes on a day-to-day basis, and you know he doesn't ask for much himself and doesn't put himself first. He's always out there to help others. It's good to him get to do something like this and be spoiled I guess," Amanda said.

August 06th, 2017
We ventured forth to our first house clearance sale to see about getting stock for the Brocante - the newspaper advertisement said that the sale was at 2.30pm and viewing from 2.00pm. We arrived at 2.00pm - the front door was open and people milling about but no sign of anyone in charge - we walked around the house which had four floors from basement to attic.
The sad thing was that it was just as if the owner had walked out and left everything - cupboards full of stuff - it was rather odd to be wandering around someone's life like this.
We went outside to wait, the auctioneer arrived and we asked for a list of the lots (we thought it would take most of the afternoon to sell everything in the house) but no list as they sold by the room or even by the floor !
Around 30 of us crowded into the sitting room and the auctioneer sold off a few lots of the best things - a pewter collection, musical instruments, etc. And then he sold off the entire room - the deal is that you have to clear the room as soon as possible - that day preferably - but certainly by the next day ! The photo is taken the next day with one of the dealers clearing out his purchases.
When you consider that the sideboard was packed full of china, glass & cutlery it would not be a quick process. They then continued on through the house selling room by room.
Having arrived in our car thinking we might pick up a few small pieces, we were in no position to bid on whole rooms ! So the next time we want to go to a house clearance sale we will know to take a van and a few friends to help !

text: Pretoria - The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) conducted a search and seizure raid on Thursday on the private residence of Acting National Police Commissioner Khomotso Phahlane.News24 learnt that the police watchdog obtained a search warrant from a senior judge in the Pretoria High Court to seize R80 000 worth of electronic sound system equipment as part of a corruption and defeating the ends of justice investigation into Phahlane. The acting police commissioner met with IPID investigators on Thursday morning in order to make a warning statement in relation to the defeating the ends of justice investigation. News24 understands this relates to the acting commissioner allegedly telling the manager of the Sable Hills Waterfront Estate not to co-operate with investigators.After obtaining the statement investigators made their way to the estate. Four IPID vehicles stopped outside and negotiated with estate security to be let inside. An SAPS vehicle parked across the road apparently to monitor the situation. After about 15 minutes investigators, dressed in blue bibs proclaiming their titles, were allowed in. A Tshwane metro police vehicle also arrived and went inside. An hour later all the vehicles left.Original complaint by O'SullivanNews24 reported last year that IPID was investigating Phahlane over an allegedly R8m property for which large cash payments were made. IPID investigators probed alleged cash payments to a contractor totalling R700 000. The money was allegedly in plastic shopping bags in the boot of a car.Forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan opened the original case against Phahlane in January 2016. He alleged that the bond Phahlane registered for the property was considerably lower than the value of the house, which Phahlane had built in 2011 and 2012.News24 has seen a badly-written SMS allegedly sent to one of the IPID investigators and O'Sullivan which contained threats against those involved in the probe."This is a warning to u. we r aware that u workin fo a big foreign spy paul salivan who is funded by his masters. . . u must stop now. we know where u stay and ur family. U must either choose to die with him [sic]," it reads.IPID spokesperson Moses Dlamini confirmed one of their investigators had received death threats related to the probe. IPID was taking the threats seriously and would identify the source.Linked to supplierNews24 understands the investigation looked into an R80 000 home theatre system installed in Phahlane's house. The person who sourced the electronic equipment on Phahlane's behalf was allegedly a director of Crimetech Laboratories, Jolanta Komolodowicz. Crimetech supplied forensic equipment and chemicals to the police when Phahlane was divisional commissioner for forensics. Komolodowicz previously told the Citizen that Phahlane visited Crimetech's offices in 2012. Impressed by the decor, he had asked her who her decorator was. Komolodowicz replied she had done it herself.Phahlane's spokesperson, Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi, rejected any suggestion of wrongdoing.Phahlane previously said that while he respected IPID, he found it unfortunate that the investigation was being conducted through the media. He questioned O'Sullivan's involvement in the investigation, and called him a foreigner.

Now users can reproduce Flash content even on Apple iPhone 4. The port was developed by Comex which is also the author of the JailbreakMe tool, reports the Redmond Pie website.
Flash plug-in can be installed only on jailbroken iPhones. And, the developer of the plug-in tested its efficiency only on iPhone 4. However, it doesn't exclude the possibility that it will work also on the devices of the previous generations and on iPod touch. The installation of the plug-in is performed in several steps with the installation of software on the computer and on the mobile device. It can be difficult for simple users.
Apple blocks the usage of unofficial applications offered by mobile application developers as well as the launch of Flash Player on their devices because, according to the company, it's not good enough for this (high requirements to hardware, high consumption of battery charge). Earlier, Flash was ported on iPad which doesn't have this technology officially.
If Apple allows official porting of flash player, iPhone application developers will be able to produce even more interesting applications.

Random Thoughts, and Trends
I was scanning the news this morning and thinking foodie thoughts in a rather stream-of-consciousness fashion. Nothing seemed to stick, it was all random. My brain went with that theme and suddenly I was humming the Arlo Guthrie tune about a pickle…
That was my inspiration today. My commentary on some of the new cooking and eating trends is entirely random, and without any expertise other than my own tastebuds. It's fun to be adventurous and think outside the box, but when I threw so many random trends together it made me wonder if we aren't trying too hard to be unusual. But then, comfort food and retro recipes are other popular trends. Anything is possible.
- Brinner – when you miss breakfast, you can have it for dinner! Some of this trend is centered around the concept of putting a poached egg on top of a dish, but there's something to be said for making more meals acceptable for all those wonderful Sunday brunch dishes 🙂
- Gyros – it's cooler when your wrap has an ethnic name, isn't it? The Greek flatbread with flavourful fillings is the new wrapped sandwich craze. Portable food is always cool in today's world. If only there was an app that would allow telepathic texting while you eat…
- Donuts – what else can you put in them? It's frankly scary the range of fillings available in fried pastry, and then consider the variations of stuffed food similar to a donut – like kolaches (great with plum jam but now possible with candied jalapenos and smoked beef, just because).
- "I dare you" food – ever tried beef tongue? How about fresh grated horseradish? Foraged greens? Moss? It's all out there for the adventurous. Chefs love shock value too sometimes.
- New twists on beverages – craft beer pubs are passé; look for beer bars with odd themes (think different glassware or decor and innovative beer styles). Wine is okay, but mead is more fun. And cocktails can come with any kind of garnish now, even scented feathers!
- Salt cod – no really, you have to try it! Andrew Knowlton, the editor of Bon Appetit magazine, said it looks like "a last-resort snack for those beyond the wall in Game of Thrones", but treated properly it is delectable.
- Nitro coffee – because life just keeps getting more Fast & Furious. Seriously, why have just caffeine when you can have it injected with nitrogen and served from a tap? It has a creamy texture not unlike a pint of Guinness. Or you can just have cold brewed coffee, the minimalist version.
- restaurant names like never before – in an effort to be new and inventive, owners are picking terms like "luncheonette" and "provisions" to sound unique. Couple this with some wacky ingredient or animal name (think anise hyssop or blue oyster) and you're all set. Only trouble is everyone else is using the same kind of formula – go figure. It sounds like the new Facebook quiz – "What would your name be if you were a restaurant?"
- Lithuanian and South African cuisine – it sounds like someone spun a globe and said "quick, what countries have we not featured on menus recently?" But there are some interesting foods to try – a Lithuanian stuffed potato dumpling called a cepelinai sounds delicious, and I love bobotie, a sort of South African shepherd's pie.
- Pickles – you thought I was going to leave you hanging, didn't you? Don't you agree, what with kimchi everywhere now and pickled mushrooms as garnish and pickled fruit on cheese boards… the recession wasn't that bad we need to preserve everything! I love a crunchy dill pickle like the next person, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
How trendy are you? Does any of this stuff even pique your interest, or are you more of a Meatless Monday, Tuna Casserole Tuesday kind of person? Does your family enjoy trying new things? I'd love to hear your comments.
Is food sexy?
I was scrolling through my social media feed looking for inspiration this morning and I found a tweet from one of my fave foodies that instantly got my attention.
Amy Reiley writes about aphrodisiac foods so this tweet isn't surprising. Her newsletter is one of my favourites. But the fact that the caviar company recommends this method was interesting.
Does this seem like a sexy way to eat? Is caviar a sexy food? Or are you thinking more of Tom Hanks in "Big" when he tasted the stuff…
I have always loved the sensuality of food. The textures, the colours, the beautiful presentation on a plate can be as sexy as an evening gown or a tailored suit in my book. I think a big part of my coming of age was realizing just what power was possible from occasions like lobster dinner a la "Flashdance" (you can look that video up yourself).
Is there a link between one's passion and feeling that activity is sexy? Is there really such a thing as aphrodisiacs or is it just a ruse to motivate us?
In my humble opinion, making an effort is the key. The key to enjoying food or any other element of one's life – including sex. I don't need lobster to turn my husband on at dinner; you'd be surprised what eating a grilled cheese in lingerie will do for your Monday night agenda.
The same goes for the simple enjoyment of food – make an effort to create interesting tastes. For example…
Is winter making you feel bland? How about a spicy soup or stew? Add some chiles and warm yourself from the inside.
Does the plate of food look boring? Garnish it up! Grated cheese over pasta (asiago kicks Parmesan up a notch), chopped fresh green onions over potatoes, balsamic vinegar drizzled over veggies – they all add colour and flavour.
Maybe you've already done these things – so, how about wine and food pairing? It's not as tough as you might think – just focus more n the dominant flavours to match.
You could check out Amy Reiley's blog, Eat Something Sexy, or her cookbook, Fork Me Spoon Me.
And well, if all else fails, there's always the grilled cheese and lingerie method 🙂
Bon Appetit!
#OscarsSoWhite #FoodSoDiverse
Okay, I'm taking advantage of controversy to get your attention. I do believe that food can help people to calm down and take a breath, though; sitting around a common table partaking of a meal is a good time for discussion. We learn other people's points of view. The news about the upcoming Oscars being "so white", that is, not having any nominees who are black – it is worthy of serious consideration. I don't think that a specific colour is the issue, but rather that colour of any kind should not be part of the discussion, just like gender shouldn't. The only reason I like the idea of Best Actress and Best Actor categories is that it offers a chance to recognize two performances. But we don't give an award for Best Female Director and Best Male Director, or Best Film with Women and Best Film with Men, so why do we need to differentiate?
Thankfully, food doesn't seem to end up in this pitfall often. Wolfgang Puck is preparing the Governor's Ball for the 22nd year in a row, and he has a plethora of dishes for people to taste, with many flavours and backgrounds.
In an effort to bring together the many sides in this argument, I thought I would offer a few menu suggestions for Oscar night celebrations that featured a range of food from various cultures and countries. Perhaps I could encourage people to look past borders in the same way we should look past the mirror when we see people. They are all people, and this is all food. Beyond that, it's just meant to be enjoyed, and savoured.
How about an international menu? You know, small plates from around the world, in celebration of all the countries that make great movies and have wonderful stories…
- Spanish tapas, like chorizo & prawn skewers or a Spanish tortilla of potatoes & onions… and a bit of Sherry of course
- Italian antipasto, like warm olives with some capicollo and Asiago… and maybe a glass or two of Prosecco
- French canapés, like cheese straws made from puff pastry and cherry tomatoes stuffed with salmon mousse… and a lovely aperitif like Lillet
- Indian street food, like samosas and pakoras with some mango and tamarind chutneys for dipping… and a bit of Gewurztraminer to wash it down
- British nibbles, like mini "jacket potatoes" filled with sour cream and chives or slices of roast beef with horseradish mustard on toast points… you could save the Port for later in the evening
- Hungarian sausages with a paprika mayonnaise for dipping… and a refreshing Pilsener
- German pickled white asparagus wrapped in ham… with a lager, or do you prefer a Doppelbock?
- Scandinavian smorgasbord items, like smoked salmon on dark rye or pickled herring or Swedish meatballs … and a bit of Aquavit for toasting?
- Asian bites, like wontons and spring rolls or maybe just a platter of freshly made sushi… with sake, because why not?
Or perhaps we should stick to North America, more in the range of "comfort food":
- BBQ ribs, slow cooked to perfection? would we have to argue about what kind of sauce they had?
- chicken wings – we could have some hot, some teriyaki, some salt & pepper… but we have to include the celery sticks and blue cheese dip
- a cheese ball? or is that too corny? or maybe designer grilled cheese is better
- corny, that reminds me – we need to have chips and salsa!
- Okay, seriously now, how about quesadillas, and pulled pork sliders, and lobster rolls and salad wraps?
- If we wanted something more Canadian for fans in the Great White North, we could offer salmon jerky, fresh oysters, Alberta beef in mini Yorkshire pudding, prairie chicken drumettes in saskatoon berry sauce, Winnipeg goldeye on bagel slices, poutine (of course) and grilled scallops with fruit salsa… not to mention there's plenty of wine and craft beer to choose from
Even with food it's easy to fall into a stereotype of what one expects to experience; meanwhile chefs and home cooks around the world are busy knocking down the walls of tradition all the time.It is possible to celebrate history and at the same time look forward in appreciation of the innovations that came later. Sometimes there is a natural evolution to things getting better, and other times we have to think and learn from our mistakes. British food for some means overcooked roast and bland mushy veg, but that is not the case in most places anymore. By the same token I think we can work to make sure that an evening like the Academy Awards night recognizes good work, regardless of where the work came from or what kind of person (or gender or colour) created it.
I for one will still be watching, as I want to remember the many excellent memories I had in theatres this year. I want to spend an evening celebrating with my movie-going partner and soulmate. Perhaps we'll make a list of our own and toast our very own winners. And we will continue to look for good movies to see, just like we look for new kinds of food to enjoy. A good job deserves to be appreciated, always.
So what's in store this year?
A new calendar year begins, and we all get a chance to be pundits. Since food is my topic of choice, I thought I might as well weigh in, so here are my top 3 picks for trends, and some gratuitous commentary on what I have read from other sources. Feel free to add your two cents below, please!
Food Trend Predictions for 2016
- HYBRID DRINKS – it's not enough that bartenders have created shrubs, syrups and other concoctions to come up with weird and wonderful cocktails… now we have to combine what we already have! Have you heard of "boffee", or nitro coffee? I wondered at first if that was just a redneck version of a wine spritzer, but no, apparently it's a real drink: iced coffee served "on tap" using nitrogen to create bubbles, just like a draught beer. Coconut water, Red Bull and all kinds of superfoods are being added to cocktails; just think, you can get drunk and prepare for your hangover at the same time!
- CLASSY SNACKS – crackers and cheese just doesn't cut the mustard anymore, folks. You need ethnic dips, ancient grain chips, popcorn with exotic oil & seasoning… or at least use goat cheese drizzled with honey on those gluten-free crackers. Serving snacks is an art as well; if you haven't invested in funky small plates, then you'd better visit Pinterest soon for a cool idea using something you can find in your pantry and "up-cycle" with a bit of burlap and a hot glue gun 🙂
- COOKING WITH GARBAGE – If you have been in a hole and not listening to the outraged food geeks in our part of the world, you won't know that we suddenly realized our penchant for having every kind of food available year round and it all being perfect and unique has meant we are wasting an obscene amount of food. Chefs have now made it cool to use the stuff our moms used to regularly transform from the back of the fridge to the table. Dan Barber from Blue Hill in New York served "Dog Food" on his menu last summer during his themed period of working with food otherwise not used – it was ground meat using the cuts the butcher couldn't sell.
If you aren't already trying out these new concepts, then here's your chance to jump on the bandwagon. After all, you don't want to be the last person in the lunchroom still eating a tuna sandwich, do you?
One trend whose demise I'd like to support is the use of the word foodie. Adam Sach's recent editorial in Saveur is right on the money:
Maybe we can just focus on the pleasures of eating, cooking and drinking and leave the labels where they belong – on modified corn and the side of wine bottles.
As much as there are chefs innovating with new foods, new fusion and new science, there are also restaurant brands that are working hard to be everything for everybody. McDonalds has coffee now, and menu items which can be custom made (including lettuce wraps instead of buns). Forgive me for sounding snobbish, but I don't think that improves anything. Do you really go to McDonalds for a healthy meal? That's like going to Robuchon for take-out, or cheap chicken wings. As consumers we should encourage businesses to be unique, to do what they do best – not to be like every other place in town. Laziness doesn't benefit anyone in the food chain.
I don't want to sound preachy, but I do believe wholeheartedly in the importance of good food and the time to enjoy it properly. And when we want to enjoy junk food we should make that an authentic experience as well. No labels, no obligations. Life is too short.
