Sai Bhaji: a Sindhi staple
I spent a few weeks in Mumbai this summer and had a great time eating out - brunch at Basilico (Colaba), lunch at Samovar, late-night (2 a.m.!) dinner at Zaffran, and many others. But the two best meals I had were at a friend's home where his mom had prepared a number of delicious Sindhi dishes. And I ended up liking one particular dish so much - Sai Bhaji, a hearty dish of greens, vegetables, and some lentils - that aunty very kindly included it in the menu the next time I showed up for lunch! I got the recipe from her, promising to try it out and report the results on Ahaar.
A big "thank you!'" to aunty! - it turned out very well and I'm sure we'll make this again sometime soon!
1 bunch swiss chard (or spinach)
1 small onion
1-inch piece of ginger (grated)
6 cloves of garlic (3 cloves grated and 3 cloves finely cut for frying for garnish)
4 tbsp chana dal
1 brinjal
2 carrots
2 tomatoes
1/2 butternut squash (instead of white pumpkin that aunty used)
1/2 tspoon turmeric powder
1/2 tspoon chilli powder
Salt to taste
1 tbspoon oil
In a pressure cooker, heat 2 tspoon oil and saute grated ginger, garlic and the chopped onion. To this, add 4 tbspoons of chana dal that has been soaked for about 2 hours. Then add the pieces of butternut squash, brinjal, and carrots along with turmeric powder, and chilli powder. Cook it for 2-3 minutes.
Then on top of this, add the chopped swiss chard/spinach. Mix it together with the rest of the vegetables and finally, place halves of 2 tomatoes on top of the mixture and pressure cook (1 whistle).
Add salt and whisk together (it is important to not mash everything - whisk lightly). At the end, saute a few pieces of garlic until they turn brown and use this as garnish.
Serve with hot rice.

Blueberry Yogurt Cake
We recently celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday. Despite her protests, I decided to bake a cake for her. With my niece as my assistant for baking the cake, our first task was to identify a recipe. So after deciding upon Blueberry Yogurt cake, we got all the ingredients together in the afternoon when everyone was relaxing after a heavy lunch. We were quiet and but the wonderful aroma coming out of the oven gave us away!
I got the recipe from the famous Chocolate and Zucchini blog. I made a couple of changes to the recipe using one cup whole wheat and one cup all-purpose flour. Also, I used 2 cups of blueberries instead of one. Everyone enjoyed it immensely and the cake was over by the next day :)
I am noting the recipe as I made it here as I am sure to come back to it soon.
2 eggs
1 cup whole milk plain unsweetened yogurt
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tspoon baking powder
1/2 tspoon baking soda
1 tspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon light rum (I omitted this out)
Preheat the oven to 350° F. I used my bundt cake pan for the cake, buttering and then flouring the cakes pan on all sides.
In a large mixing-bowl, gently combine the yogurt, eggs, vanilla, oil. In another bowl mix all the dry ingredients - flour, sugar and baking powder, baking soda together.
Now add the flour mixture into the yogurt mixture, and blend it together. Once it's complete, add the blueberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
I decorated the cake with some powdered sugar and fresh blueberries.
This cake is headed to Aparna at My Diverse Kitchen who is hosting MBP:Fruit Fare. Thanks for hosting!

Pesaratt (Moong Dal Dosa)
One of the advantages of having parents and in-laws at home is that my weekend brunch repertoire has expanded. No more omelette and pancakes! Now, it's rava idli, pohe, vermicelli upma, rava upma etc. And today I tried pesaratt. I had soaked whole moong dal for sprouting thinking it'll make a good addition to salads. But when my mother-in-law suggested pesaratt, it sounded delicious and I readily agreed.
Pesarattu is a popular breakfast or tiffin item in Andhra and Tamil Nadu where it's made with split moong dal. Making it with sprouted moong dal makes it doubly delicious and healthy.
1 1/2 cup Moong Dal (sprouted)
2 tbspoon rice (soaked for 2-4 hours)
1" ginger
1 green chilli
1 red chilli
1/2 tspoon cumin seeds
salt to taste
4-5 tbspoon oil
Soak whole moong dal for about a couple of days and they'll sprout.
Then grind the sprouted dal along with rice, green chillies, red chillies, ginger, cumin seeds and salt to a medium consistency. Remove the batter, add about a teaspoon of curry leaves and mix the batter thoroughly.
Heat a thick-bottomed pan. Pour one ladle full of batter in the pan and spread it around in a circular fashion. Then add a few drops of oil around the edges of pesaratt. The advantage of making pesaratt on a non-stick pan makes the oil requirement minimal.
Wait for few minutes till the bottom gets golden-brown, then flip it and cook the other side now for about 30sec to a min.
Serve it warm with chutney. We enjoyed ours with onion chutney. This is going to Susan at The Well-Seasoned Cook who's hosting Legume Love Affair: Second Helping. Thanks for hosting!

Dhokar Dalna
Dhokar Dalna is part of traditional Bengali cuisine cooked and served in Pujo, or as second course of a meal. I was reminiscing about it with my parents, also telling them that I've received a few requests asking for the recipe. And they surprised me with Dhokar Dalna curry the next day.
I am not sure where the name originated, neither did my parents. Dhoka means to cheat, and I have been wondering what does the the curry using lentils is cheating on? I am still curious, so drop me a line if you have any theories :)
Here is how they made it:
1 cup cholar dal (chana dal/Bengal gram)
2 medium tomato
1 tspoon ginger grated
1 tspoon cumin seeds
1 tspoon coriander powder
1 tspoon cumin seed powder
pinch of asafoetida
1/2 tspoon turmeric powder
1 tspoon chilli powder
2 green chillis
1 tspoon cumin seeds
1/2 tspoon garam masala
1/2 tspoon ghee
2-3 tbspoon oil
salt to taste
Wash and soak Bengal gram lentils in water for 4-6 hours. Drain water and grind the dal to a paste in a mixer. Heat 1 tspoon oil and temper it with 1/2 tspoon cumin seeds, asafoetida, 1/2 tspoon ginger paste, 1/4 tspoon turmeric powder and salt. Pour the ground dal and cook till the mixture is soft and sticky, but not completely dry.
Smear little oil in a dish. Pour the cooked dal and spread evenly on the dish. Press lightly with your spoon so that it sets properly. Cool and cut the dhoka into square or diamond shapes.
Heat two tbspoon oil and fry the dhokas to light brown. Remove and keep aside.
Then heat the rest of remaining oil in a deep bottomed pan and temper it with the 1/2 tspoon remaining cumin seeds. Fry for a minute till it stops sputtering.
In the meantime, puree the tomatoes, ginger and green chillies together. Add the pureed mixture with turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds powder and saute for 3-4 minutes on low heat.
Then, add about two small cups of of water and salt and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes. Add the fried dhokas, and bring the curry to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for another 4-5 minutes till the dhoka starts to soak up part of the curry.
Put ghee and garam masala and take it off the heat. It should be the last thing added. just before the dish is taken off the heat.
Serve warm with rice. This is my entry to Curry Mela going on at Srivalli's Cooking 4 all Seasons. Thank you for hosting!

Savoring Puli Pithe
For the last month I have been enjoying the different Bengali recipes - puti macher jhol (small fish curry), different kinds of dal (lentils), labra (mixed veg), lau ghonto (bottlegourd) etc. But when my parents offered to make puli pithe for a family gathering I was excited. It's been ages since I ate pithe.
My fondest memories of pithe are during winter when my grandmother would make several kinds catering to each of our requests, pathi shapta for me, puli pithe for my brother and gokul pithe for my dad among others.
Pithe are a winter affair, around Poush Sankranti (somewhere in mid Dec - mid Jan) to celebrate the harvest festival of the new crop.
Pithe's made of rice flour or wheat flour which forms the base or pouch. Inside the pouch filling or pur made of grated coconuts and sometimes sweetened vegetables is stuffed. The pouch can be of different shapes - flat like a crepe, oval, round etc. The pithe can be prepared by frying, steaming and then cooked in a milky syrup.
Some of the famous pithe are: pati shapta (like crepes with stuffing inside), ranga alur pithe (made of sweet potato), dudh pulli (with payesh kind of preparation of milk), chandrapulli and gokul pithe. I am sure there are more varieties of pithe. Please leave the names in the comments and I will add it in the list.
The ingredients for Puli Pithe is a small list - coconut, rawa (sooji), milk and sugar, but when they all mix together, it tastes heavenly. I love gurer (jaggery) pithe, so we tried to replicate it with brown sugar and I loved how it added that deeper taste to the pithe. Here is how they made it.
2 cups grated coconut
1 cup rawa
1 1/2 cups half and half
3/4 cup milk (I used 1%)
1 3/4 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
Heat a thick bottomed pan or karai (wok) and cook the grated coconut, rawa with 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup half and half till the mix comes together and starts leaving the sides of the pan. In Bengali, it's called paak.
Once it's done, take in off the heat and roll them on your palm as little cylinders. You won't need any extra oil for the rolling.
In the meantime, heat the rest of half and half with milk and sugar on low heat till it starts to thicken. It may take about an hour for the milk to become a thick creamy base. Once it done, put the coconut and rawa pur in the milk and let it boil for another 5-10 minutes to let it absorb the milk and cream.
You can sprinkle some cardamom powder on top before serving. But I like it without it to full savor the taste of milk, coconut and sugar cooked together.
Serve warm or cold. I have had it both ways and am still deciding which way I like it best. :)
Also a big thanks to Sandeepa of Bong Mom's Cookbook for the beautiful green spread that you see in the picture. It arrived with a beautiful handwritten note embellished with Little S' drawing and a set of beautiful coasters. Thank You Sandeepa!

Pumpkin Chutney
When I taste something new that is delicious, yet simple to prepare, I always wonder how come I've never tried this before! Has it happened to you too? I am sure I can recollect many such incidents, but the latest was when Aswin made this pumpkin chutney.
This is traditionally made with the remnants after making a pumpkin sabzi - the outer layer and the mushy inside along with pumpkin seeds. We didn't have any pumpkins at home, but we did have some acorn and that's what we used for the chutney.
The mild sweetness and the smoothness of the acorn combined with the earthiness of urad makes the base of the dish. But there is a heat that kicks in when you take the first bite and that comes from the red chillies and some peppercorn. This mildly fragrant chutney was a big hit in our weekend lunch. I almost made a meal out of it and so did my dad, mixing it with some hot rice!
1 cup acorn - chopped
all the mushy inside, and the seeds too
2 tbspoon urad dal
2 red chillies
4-5 black peppercorns
2 tbspoon tamarind extract
1 tspoon oil
salt to taste
Microwave the acorn for 4-5 minutes till they turn soft. You can also do it on stove top.
In a pan with 1 tspoon oil, roast urad dal, peppercorns, and red chillies until you get a fragrant smell.

Photo-essay - Summer Garden Plot!
We have been traveling almost every weekend with my parents, showing them parts of Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, and Chicago. Last weekend we were in Chicago visiting my sister-in-law's family and I had a chance to visit her garden plot that she has been cultivating for a few years now.
The plot was neatly divided into several subsections and each section was in different stages of flowering, and ripening. The plants were loaded with veggies, the air had the smell of ripe tomatoes, fruits, and flowers from neighboring plots...
The plot was filled with eggplant, cayenne pepper, okra,green pepper, tomato, corn, squash, cabbage, watermelon, muskmelon and much more. I clicked some pictures and wanted to share them here.
We spent some time there looking at each plant, even nooks and corners for ripe tomatoes, okra, eggplant that's ready to be harvested. It was wonderful!
Next post - all about the goodies I made with the bounty I got back home. :)

In the last few weeks, Britain's few remaining climate change deniers have attempted a last throw of the dice in an effort to derail the Copenhagen climate summit.
The consequences of a weak deal will be felt first and worst by poor nations where climate impacts are already devastating lives and livelihoods, Cafod has said.
Right-wing campaigners and journalists reviving denial of human-made climate change are facing strong criticism from scientists, academics and NGOs. They are accused of trying to derail the Copenhagen climate summit.
Ben Bradley, Events Co-ordinator of the British Methodist Church, has said that he will join a team of 28 volunteers cycling 140 miles to the United Nations climate change conference at Copenhagen.
Hundreds of student activists from across Britain have spent the weekend in Manchester exploring their response to climate change and corporate power, after a year that has seen a resurgence in student activism at universities around the country.
British Muslims and Christians aged 18-25 are uniting to urge the UK government to press for significant progress in tackling climate change at the international summit due in Copenhagen next month.
Britain's Methodist, Baptist and United Reformed Churches have called on European politicians to make firm commitments on climate change policy at the EU summit meeting in Strasbourg, which starts today.

Mohammed Samraoui. [Source: Rachad]Mohammed Samraoui, the Algerian army's deputy chief counterintelligence specialist, will later desert in disgust and explain in a French trial that the Algerian army helped create the Groupe Islamique Armé (GIA), supposedly an Islamist militant group linked to al-Qaeda fighting the Algerian government. He will say that in the months before an Algerian army coup in January 1992 the Algerian army "created the GIA" in an attempt to weaken and destroy the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), an Islamist political party poised to take power in elections. He will say, "We established a list of the most dangerous people and demanded their arrest, but in vain: they were needed [to be free] to create terrorist groups. Instead, we arrested right, left, and center. We were trying to radicalize the movement." Army intelligence identified Algerians returning from the Soviet-Afghan war and many times recruited them. "They all took the flight home via Tunis because it was half-price. As soon as they landed in Algiers, we took them in hand." [Randal, 2005, pp. 169-170]

A Paris subway car bombed in 1995. [Source: Associated Press]Ten French citizens die and more than two hundred are injured in a series of attacks in France from July to October 1995. Most of the attacks are caused by the explosion of rudimentary bombs in the Paris subway. The deaths are blamed on the Groupe Islamique Armé (GIA) Algerian militant group. Some members of the banned Algerian opposition Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) living in exile in France are killed as well. For instance, high-level FIS leader Abdelbaki Sahraoui is assassinated on July 11, 1995. The GIA takes credit for these acts. The attacks mobilize French public opinion against the Islamic opposition in Algerian and causes the French government to abandon its support for recent Algerian peace plans put forth by a united opposition front (see January 13,1995). [BBC, 10/30/2002; Randal, 2005, pp. 171, 316-317; Guardian, 9/8/2005] However, in September 1995, French Interior Minister Jean-Louis Debré says, "It cannot be excluded that Algerian intelligence may have been implicated" in the first bombing, which hit the Saint-Michel subway stop in Paris on July 25 and killed eight. [BBC, 10/31/2002; Randal, 2005, pp. 316-317] And as time goes on, Algerian officials defect and blame Algerian intelligence for sponsoring all the attacks. Ali Touchent is said to be the GIA leader organizing the attacks (see January 13,1995). But Mohammed Samraoui, former deputy chief of the Algerian army's counterintelligence unit, will later claim that Touchent was an Algerian intelligence "agent tasked with infiltrating Islamist ranks abroad and the French knew it." But he adds the French "probably did not suspect their Algerian counterparts were prepared to go so far." [Randal, 2005, pp. 316-317] A long-time Algerian secret agent known only by the codename Yussuf-Joseph who defected to Britain will later claim that the bombings in France were supported by Algerian intelligence in order to turn French public opinion against the Islamic opposition in Algeria. He says that intelligence agents went sent to France by General Smain Lamari, head of the Algerian counterintelligence department, to directly organize at least two of the French bombings. The operational leader was actually Colonel Souames Mahmoud, head of the intelligence at the Algerian Embassy in Paris. [Observer, 11/9/1997] In 2002, a French television station will air a 90-minute documentary tying the bombings to Algerian intelligence. In the wake of the broadcast, Alain Marsaud, French counterintelligence coordinator in the 1980s, will say, "State terrorism uses screen organizations. In this case, [the GIA was] a screen organization in the hands of the Algerian security services… it was a screen to hold France hostage." [New Zealand Listener, 2/14/2004]

Habib Souaidia. [Source: Public domain]Algerian general Khaled Nezzar loses a libel suit in France against Habib Souaidia, a former lieutenant in the Algerian army. Souaidia claimed in a 2001 book that in the 1990s the Algerian army frequently massacred Algerian civilians and then blamed Islamic militants for the killings. The French court rules that the contents of Souaidia's book are "legitimate." The court declares that it could not judge Algeria's history but Souaidia had acted in good faith in making his allegations. [Agence France-Presse, 9/27/2002; Inter Press Service, 9/30/2002] Souaidia served in the Algerian army until 1996 and took part in operations against Islamic militants. Nezzar is considered the real power in Algeria, still ruling behind a facade of civilian rule ever since the early 1990s. Several former Algerian officers living in exile testified in court and corroborated Souaidia's statements. For instance: Souaidia told the French court, "In the beginning we spoke about restoring order in the country. But very soon the generals made of us an army of wild murderers.… We had permission to kill whoever we wanted to for nothing at all." He pointed to Nezzar in the courtroom and said that "at the same time they were counting the millions of dollars they had stolen from the people." Former colonel Mohammed Samraoui testified that "the Algerian army used all means to attack the Islamic rebellion: blackmail, corruption, threats, killings…we used terrorist methods to attack terrorism even before it had appeared." Former officer Ahmed Chouchene said that soldiers were told they could kill civilians as much as they liked as long as they could "produce a false explanation for the killings." They were taught that "their role was not to apply law, but to circumvent it." [Inter Press Service, 9/30/2002]

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Former eBay chief executive Meg Whitman on Monday gave her campaign for the GOP gubernatorial nomination another $20 million, bringing her contributions from her personal fortune to $59 million in what is expected to be the most expensive governor's race in California history.
Whitman has already spent more than $46 million in her quest to beat state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner in the June Republican primary, paying tens of millions to blanket television and radio airwaves with ads introducing herself to California voters.
Recent polls show her with a 40- to 50-percentage point lead over Poizner and neck-and-neck with presumed Democratic nominee Jerry Brown in a presumed matchup in next November's general election.
The Poizner and Brown campaigns accused Whitman of trying to buy the election.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
"Meg Whitman laughs at the thought of running out of money, while people across California are struggling every day," Poizner spokesman Jarrod Agen said in a statement Monday night.
Poizner is also a multimillionaire who has given his campaign $19 million to date, but had spent only about $3 million as of mid-March. He has said he is saving his resources to mount an aggressive attack against Whitman in the final weeks of the Republican contest.
Brown spokesman Sterling Clifford said Whitman is spending unprecedented money "to fund simplistic sloganeering and attack ads. Her Wall Street money won't be enough to crown herself the Republican nominee or buy the governor's office this November."
Whitman's campaign has said she is willing to spend as much as $150 million of her own money in the race for governor.
Whitman campaign manager Jillian Hasner said that Whitman has also raised $11.8 million from outside contributors.
"Whether it's facing down the powerful public employee unions who are propping up Jerry Brown or our well-financed primary opponent, Meg's campaign will have the resources to fight back," Hasner said in a statement released by the campaign.

With speculation as to what BioWare will be announcing at San Diego Comic-Con this week running wild, there is new evidence to suggest that at the very least pre-order details for both the standard and Collector's Edition of the game may be part of that announcement. This news also comes hot on the heels of word that Star Wars: The Old Republic's release date has been shifted from TBD (to be determined) to TBA (to be announced).
Two new images have surfaced, one showing what appears to be the box art for the standard edition of the game, and the second allegedly depicts the Collector's Edition art and contents.
Images of the supposed standard edition (seen below) originated at Polish retailer Empik.com, where the listing has since been pulled down, however, the art is still viewable.
Below is reportedly the boxart and content details for the Collector's Edition, originating over on the NeoGAF forums:
- Exclusive Gentle Giant Darth Malgus statue
- Star Wars: The Old Republic game discs in collectable metal case
- The Journal of Master Gnost-Dural annotated by Satele Shan
- Old Republic galaxy map
- Custom security authentication key
- Exclusive music of Star Wars: The Old Republic CD
- High quality Collector's Edition box
- Flare gun: Fire flares into the air
- Training droid: Hovers at your side for combat assistance
- HoloDancer: Project your own holographic dancer
- HoloCam: Keep visual records of in-game adventures
- STAP: Sleek and unique in-game vehicle
- Exclusive Mouse Droid: Spunky droid to join your adventures
- Exclusive Collector's Edition store: Unique in-game vendor with a dynamic assortment of items
Of course, both of these could be fakes. What do you think?

Largest roof garden for London announced
Battersea Roof Garden in summer
Lookouts, a sunbathing lawn and a forest form part of the plans for the largest roof garden in London, unveiled for the latest phase of the Battersea Power Station Development.
The landscaped roof garden, which will sit atop 15 residential storeys and stretch over a quarter of a mile, will be illuminated at night and designed to reflect the changing seasons.
Whilst its creator is James Corner of Field Operations who was responsible for The High Line, this garden will be very different – 'a grand city garden' with secluded quiet areas, rather than the public thoroughfare of New York.
There will be walkways through the garden, however, passing through seating and planted areas, offering different experiences and vistas of the London skyline as well as of the adjacent Power Station. The 'overlook' opportunities are to include a step-through, narrow opening between trees to a lookout at the extreme tip.
Plans also feature a Fitness Deck and a Woodland Walk- the rooftop's most dramatic feature -a forest of birch trees in the sky, their white trunks aligned with the iconic Power Station chimneys.
As well as more intimate spaces, there will be grander public areas including, at the centre, a Sun Lawn for picnicking, sunbathing, star-gazing and outdoor cinema. There will also be the Sun Lounge for hotel guests with seating installed amid perennials, grasses and trees, together with bars and dining areas.
For residents, there will be the Summer Kitchen with its communal Farm Table for social gatherings.
This garden, designed for the use of residents and hotel guests and occasional use by the general public, is planned for completion in 2019.
"An extraordinarily serene yet dynamic place to view the Power Station, the Thames, the City of London, the design of pathways, plantings, overlooks and special settings offers an air of theatricality and drama in the sky, making the garden a very special and unique experience in the context of London," said James Corner describing his design.
As well as the roof garden, plans were also announced for the new Prospect Park intended to create a natural connection from Vauxhall, via the new planned linear park, from Battersea Power Station to the US Embassy and beyond.

I have just bought two checked shirts in sales. Both with long sleeves. One from H&M for £10 and another from Next for £8. I would also avoid the red one, the ones I got are Light brown/black and light blue/Brown. Long loose and long sleeved, perfect :)

Funnily enough, I bought 2 stunning checked shirts from Victoria's Secret (they actually do amazing clothes) on sale 4 years ago! One is a beautiful lapiz blue check, the other a orangey-peach. I would still be wearing them if I hadn't outgrown them after pregnancy :(

I find if you wear the type that has those button-up tabs on the sleeves, so you can roll them up, then wear a long-sleeved Tshirt underneath (or forearm sleeves), it makes them look less masculine and 'lumberjack'-y as 3/4 sleeved shirts always seem more feminine to me! Or you could add a cardigan of course :) I've been going a bit crazy for checked shirts atm I have to confess, I have a black & white one (short) which I wear over a black dress as a cardigan, a long indigo/black checked one from H&M (they're only £10 in the sale atm and come in beige, white and purple as well) and am on the lookout for a red one - the Uniqlo one just might be perfect! Thanks :)

I got a long check shirt in purple, baby blue and emerald green from Dorothy Perkins recently. I havent worn check before but I actually like it - looks nice with baggy jeans, long cardigan, long beads and bangles to help it stay feminine and a co-ordinating colour plain scarf - very weekend casual chic! I would advise avoiding patterned scarves with check shirts though - its too busy.
Jana - would it be possible to do a post about jeans please ? there are too many skiinny jeans in the shops and its hard to find loose fitting ones that still look good - the 'boyfriend' ones are best i think but can be hard to find, so a pick of the best 'hijab friendly jeans' would be great insha'allah. I think a lot of sisters end up weaing tight jeans simply cos its so hard to find loose ones. They are all so tight fitting in the shops!

Aa Jana et al, I have seen a rash of these hijabi friendly shirts in Primark and both me (nearly 21) and my youngest sister(14)are loving them (closet indie-kids) but I agree with the lumberjack look being not so hot.
So the DO's I'd say are: Make sure the sleeves are more feminine, gathered at the wrist or 3/4 with long tee as suggested. Unpick the pockets on the front (this is unflattering to busty girls and draws more attention than normal to that area) plus really, is it even that comfortable to put a pen there all you medics?
Do buy them in less of the lumberjack colours,(red check is a no-no) or look for largely block colour with a subtle check composed of finer lines. The sides of these shirts are usually already lightly tapered, but you can easily put darts in the back for shaping if the cut is overly square - plus this saves on a belt.
Lastly, since the look is quite masculine, you need to fem it up. As Chanel and the Breton nautical trend is way in for Spring 2010, think "Marseilles Holiday" the French seaside, the "Yes, I own a yacht" look.
Chanel's tweed jacket becomes your check shirt matched with sharply creased dress-trousers in beige/ black/navy,retro platform sandals/flip-flops, a tasteful shopper/beach tote and a black cuff bracelet or pearls. Make your shirt the statement by pairing it with pale neutrals and white in daytime, with darker colours for later, more Parisienne chic. Lace gloves are also a more ladylike (alternative) touch. Your hijab should be somewhat looser, an underscarf or al-amira with a chiffon shayla "hood wrapped" around it and maybe pinned to the side? French Riviera here we come! Hope this helps. x

Salams everyone,
Jana - you are doing a fantastic job with this site and having been introduced to it about 3 weeks ago, I have been so inspired that when I go into a store now I have a fresh approach to the possibilites of whatever's on offer. On the back of that inspiration I am now in proud possession of several key items which can be combined to give 8 different looks. Not bad for a mother of two..In my thirties now but back in the days of the good old 90s, checks were really happening. I remember owning many checkered shirts and even a pair of trousers (my friend bought them for me from Hong Kong). Going back further then that I had a pair of 100% wool tartan-like trousers in a gorgeous red and dark green check when I was only 4 years old. They made me itch like crazy so I had to wear them with tights (result = very hot child!)I hated wearing them but loved the colours even then. And if I take you back another year, my mother hand-sewed a beautiful brown checkered tunic with pleats and a belt-buckle, of which we still have pictures in the family album! That was 33 years ago. Whoops!! I think I just gave away my age.. Anyway, my point is that good styles keep coming back again, and again through the decades. I think the trick is to keep it feminine with a touch of long beads and pretty bags in contrasting colours. Otherwise you may well end up taking down a tree or two..lol.

Jana, I love love love your blog. And I do not see myself going by a week without visiting this blog, ever again, lol! Anyway, I already like wearing the things you show on here and tried to break and turn sleeves dresses into more wearable hijabi friendly way. I bought a checked shirt for my sister and was not sure about it, but I guess I would wear it, if it looks good on me! lol.

funny you posted this! Just a couple of weeks ago I bought a light pink plaid shirt (long top - so halal, of course) from Forever21. It was only 20 bucks and i love it. Its half sleeved with the rolled up button tab..i wear it with a long sleeved T underneath or just a cardigan on top.
my question is...why kind of hijab would go? Im not into plaid on plaid...
- 5/1/10 21:20
- Leila said...
Asalaam alaikum Afshi,
Somebody on here said to keep the colour plain so I would stick with neutrals if I were you. :)
Also the thickness of the hijab depends on whether you want to tuck to show the collar or drape over it. Above I suggested a loose wrap chiffon hijab with underscarf - purely to make lumberjack look more feminine though.
Hope this helps, WS. x

=O...how can you still be debating the whole lumberjack look!?!?...=)...checks alll the way...=)
- 9/1/10 17:35
- Jana said...
Nadia, I pretty much live in shirtdresses so I have plenty of plain ones atm, just not checked ones!
Tie, thank you and I'll keep an eye out :)
Anon 2/Leila, the hijabi guide to jeans is coming soon, watch this space!
Leila, how funny, I'm nearly 21 and my sister is 14 too :D Agreed with adding more feminine touches - definitely with some jewellery, lace gloves may be too literal though. For spring/summer, I love the idea of pairing the shirts with loose, chambray jeans and neutral peep-toe wedges, inspired by this look:
Anon 3, thanks!
craftytassy, thank you :)
Afshi, most definitely stick to a plain hijab, in one of the colours found in the shirt.
Well, I decided to take the plunge and went and bought the Uniqlo shirt, which is actually pink rather than bright red; might even post a picture :)
- 10/1/10 10:05
- Leila said...
Aa peeps,
Aisha, some of us just aren't comfortable rocking the check thing so kudos to you for bravery!
Jana - YAY pictures. Ha, great, I have one in the middle who's 18 too. Saw the picture, woah, the model is striking whereas the look is very casual and flowy. I definitely like the wide trousers with peep toe shoes, but I'm personally building up a more classic Chanel look for Spring, with maybe a touch towards their boho S/S 2010 show with Lagerfeld.
I dunno, I used to be very matchy-matchy and now I find the tailored look more comforting than casual stuff. It's all about the mood and we women need our corporate armour, especially forthcoming grads. :)

I'm 34 and I love checks from Forever21, Dorothy-p and Zara. so easy to co-ordinate with jeans and flats. I mixed them with stripey shawls too. ;) <3 From Iza Aziz-Imran ^.^

Sea Cadets helps teenagers to stretch themselves and become the best they can be. We know what that takes because we've been doing it for over 160 years.
The pressures that young people face are ever-changing, but what remains constant is that the teenage years can be turbulent. Independence is exciting, but also daunting.
For orphans of the Crimean War, sleeping in the back streets of England's sea ports, life looked bleak. To help them, coastal communities banded together to provide places for sailors to pass on nautical skills and training to give these destitute young people a future. This is how, in 1856, the Naval Lads' Brigade was born.
Soon, they were springing up across the country, and in 1899, Queen Victoria marked their importance to young people by becoming Patron, and giving £10 to the Windsor unit for uniforms. Today we are proud to have, HM The Queen as our Patron.
Scroll through our gallery to learn more about our rich history....
1894: The Navy League is formed in London - it would decorate Nelson's Column on Trafalgar Day to remind people of the importance of a strong Navy.
1899: We receive Royal recognition from Queen Victoria when she presents Windsor Unit with £10 for uniforms (worth approx £1,000 in today's money).
1937: Lord Nuffield (founder of Morris Motors) donates £50,000 enabling Sea Cadets to expand. By the outbreak of WWII there would be 100 units across the UK.
1940: We purchase our first offshore sailing vessel, TS Bounty, which can take 40 cadets at a time on week-long sailing voyages.
1942: With King George VI as Admiral, the name Sea Cadet Corps is adopted and the Girls Nautical Training Corps is formed as the female equivalent.
1952: HM The Queen becomes our Patron
1955: A Royal Marines Cadet section is formed within the Sea Cadet Corps
1966: Our first overseas unit is established in Bermuda
1971: The original TS Royalist is commissioned by HRH Princess Anne
1972: We introduce our Juniors section for children between 10 and 12 years.
1980: The Girls Nautical Training Corps merges with the Sea Cadet Corps

"Abiding in Him is not a work that we do…but a consenting to let Him do all for us, and in us, and through us."
~ Andrew Murray
If what Murray said is true then all the work is the Lord's. All is done by the might of the Spirit (and we get to be vessels for Him and His power). Even remaining in Christ, remaining in Love. I hope to return to this quote tomorrow to meditate on it, as well as what John talks about in his gospel, the 15th chapter, verse 1-17 (ESV):
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full."
"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants,t for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another."
Blessings in Christ from a sleepy brother. Good night!

How to dye hair naturally? 10 All natural hair dyes
On average, women change their hairstyle about 150 times in a lifetime, and that often includes a change of colour too. Colouring your hair is such an easy way to get a brand new look, but the standard hair dyes that you buy in the stores are literally filled with toxic, harmful chemicals, which is why many women won't dye their hair when they are pregnant. Although opinion is divided as to whether or not prolonged use of chemical hair dyes does actually pose any health risk, if you want to . it safe, there are some natural alternatives. Natural hair dyes may not last so long, but at least you know they are chemical-free, so here are ten ways you can dye your hair with 100% natural ingredients.
1. Tea
Tea is not strong enough to dye blonde hair black, but it is a great way to cover stray grey hairs. You can use black tea for dark hair, chamomile tea for blondes and rooibos tea for redheads. The trick with tea is to make the tea very strong by using 3-5 teabags in just 2 cups of water. Brew the tea as you usually would and then leave it to cool before you apply to your hair (make sure it's not too hot). You will need to leave it on your hair for about an hour and, the longer you leave it, the stronger the colouring will be.
2. Coffee
One of great smelling, all natural hair dyes is coffee, it will darken hair and it is perfect for hiding grey hairs too. The process is the same as it is it with tea; make it strong, let it cool, and leave it sit on your hair for at least an hour. You can make the colour last for longer if you give your a hair a rinse in apple cider vinegar after you have dyed it.
3. Henna
Henna is one of the most popular all natural hair dyes, it has been used for thousands of years to colour hair, skin and nails. Used on its own, henna will create a red or orange colour and is often used by brunettes to make their hair auburn. You have to be a bit careful with henna, though. If you use too much, you could well end up with bright orange hair. To use henna as a hair dye, mix 100 grams of henna powder with 1 cup of lemon juice and some water. Leave the mixture for 5 hours before you use it, and then apply to the hair and leave it on for about 2 hours.
4. Marigold petals
Marigold petals will create a strawberry blonde tint in fair hair and give darker hair an auburn tint. With this natural hair dye, the effect gets stronger, the more often you use it, so if you want a more vibrant red then use it regularly. Boil half a cup of fresh marigold petals in 2 cups of water, leave it simmer for half an hour, and then leave it to cool. You can then use the mixture as a final rinse for your hair.
5. Beet juice
Beet juice is another one of wonderful all natural hair dyes, it will add a red tint to any hair colour, but be extra careful with this one, because it can also stain your clothes and your skin. The best way to use beet juice is to mix the juice with some coconut oil, work it into your hair and leave it to sit for about an hour. That will give your hair a red tint and condition it at the same time.
6. Lemon juice
Lemon juice has natural, mild, bleaching properties, so you can use it to add highlights to your hair. Just brush some freshly squeezed lemon juice through your hair and leave it on for a few hours and, if you sit out in the sunlight, ten highlights will become even more pronounced. It's especially good for giving blonde hair that sun-kissed look.
7. Walnut shells
If it is a dark brown colour that you are looking for, the walnut shells will give you that. You can use this all over your hair, or you can just dab it on any patches of grey hair that you might have. Crush up some walnut shells and boil them in water for about an hour. The longer you boil it, the stronger the colouring will be. Then, strain the mixture and leave it to cool before you apply it to your hair and leave it to sit for an hour.
8. Indigo
Indigo, which is the same dye that is used to dye jeans, will dye your hair blue, if that's what you want. If you mix indigo with henna, then depending on the ratio that you mix them, you can dye your hair anything, from dark brown to black. As with all of these natural hair dyes, it's a good idea to test your mixture on a small patch of hair before you dye all of your hair.
9. Carrot juice
Carrot juice is another one of fabulous all natural hair dyes, and it can help add a red tint to your hair. In this case, to add a reddish orange tint to your hair, work fresh carrot juice into your hair and leave it to sit for about one hour. If it doesn't give you enough of a tint the first time, just repeat the process until you get the desired results.
10. Amla
Whilst amla is not actually a dye, we have included it here because it can be used to tone down natural hair dye colours and it also conditions hair and gives it more shine. Just mix amla powder into a paste with water, apply it your hair, and leave it in for half an hour. Amla can cause an allergic . in some people, so if you do feel an itching or burning sensation, wash it out immediately.
Do you know other all natural hair dyes?
Stay beautiful!

Greenville City Council has passed a resolution indicating it supports a state Senate bill that would allow South Carolina cities and counties to enact inclusionary zoning policies to increase affordable housing.
A bill sponsored by Sen. Marlon Kimpson, D-Charleston, would allow municipalities and counties to require that a certain percentage of housing units within a multifamily structure or single-family development be sold or rented as affordable housing.
The bill, which is currently in the Senate Judiciary Committee, would limit the required number of affordable units to 30 percent. Under the proposal, the provision would apply to multifamily or single-family developments with five or more housing units.
Kimpson's bill also allows developers the option to pay a fee in lieu rather than to include affordable units within their development.
In return for the affordable housing units, developers could get incentives such as density adjustments, modification of height, and floor area or whole or partial waivers of system development charges and impact or permit fees.
Greenville City Council recently approved $2 million of the city's fund balance to help provide more affordable housing. The city has a shortage of more than 2,500 affordable housing units. CZB, an Alexandria, Va.-based consultant, said it would take $10 million a year for 25 years for the city to catch up to demand.

What are the best sports games on the PS4? Whether you're a die-hard footie aficionado or a casual basketball watcher, there's no question that sports games are among the most popular on consoles these days. Whether it's hardcore simulations or more arcade-like adaptations, we've compiled the very best sports games on the PlayStation 4 – and you can enjoy pretty much all of them without having to break a sweat.
20. Mutant Football League (PS4)
Inspired by EA's old SEGA Genesis game, Mutant Football League adopts an apocalyptic look at gridiron, where quaterbacks can quite literally be slaughtered when sacked. It's buggy and imbalanced, but American football fans will appreciate the use of puns, while the fast-paced arcade action harks back to the halcyon days of NFL Blitz.
Please note that some links on this page are affiliate links, which means if you click them and make a purchase we may receive a small percentage of the sale which helps support the site. Please read our FTC Disclosure for more information.
19. NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 (PS4)
With a cute and colourful aesthetic and card collecting aspect, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 blends the physics defying dunks of NBA Jam with the team building systems that have infiltrated all contemporary sports games. There's a sense that, with the NBA 2K branding now attached, this arcade alternative is going to improve drastically with future instalments; for now it competes with 3on3 Freestyle for the crown of the PS4's best casual b-ball title.
18. The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA Tour (PS4)
Much like NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, publisher 2K Sports joined the project towards the end of The Golf Club 2019's development cycle. In this instance, HB Studios also had to shoehorn in the PGA Tour license, which it acquired midway through production as well. It's a testament to the overall quality of The Golf Club's gameplay that this instalment is still so entertaining, then – but future iterations should really drive this franchise up this list like a particularly sweet tee off shot.
17. Racket Fury (PS4)
- Broncos-jersey-tebow Broncos-jersey-tebow Broncos-jersey-tebow Broncos-jersey-tebow Broncos-jersey-tebow Broncos-jersey-tebow
Sports Champions on the PlayStation 3 proved that Sony's PS Move motion controllers were made for table tennis, and Racket Fury really realises the potential by adding the depth of PlayStation VR to the mix. While its cosmic backdrops and bland robotic opponents lack personality, the gameplay here is absolutely top-notch, as it simulates real-world table tennis almost exactly.
16. Steep (PS4)
Ubisoft's done right by open world extreme sports title Steep, expanding upon it with regular updates, including a licensed Winter Olympics mode. While competition is at the core of most sports games, this outdoorsy experience is much more chill – and not just because it takes place in arctic conditions. With a variety of different disciplines to master, spanning skiing through to wingsuits, its fun simply exploring this title's mountain ranges and finding new ways to navigate them.

What a busy time! It feels like forever since I've posted and I just wanted to check in and let y'all know I'm still alive and well. I've been doing busy summer things and not really 'projecting'. The canning and preserving season has started and, while I don't do a lot, it's still extra work that cuts out time for other things. So far, I've only canned some sweet cherries and put 18 pints of blueberries in the freezer. I had enough strawberry jam left from last year so that was nice not to have to wade into that sticky mess. :)
Yes, you read that right and yes, I'm THAT excited about it! :) No, I didn't get it for a toy; we could never justify spending that much on a toy. Let me explain.
DH has bought a semi truck and will be going back to over-the-road trucking. He looked into getting his truck lettered per Federal requirements and got a price of +/- $600. I gulped a few times and told him I could do it cheaper if he'd let me. I admit, he was dubious that I could actually do it but I knew about the wonder machine (aka Cameo) and never wavered in my opinion that I could do it. When he saw how certain I was, he consented to let me get the machine and letter his truck. WOOT WOOT! For half that estimate price, he's in business.
|Driver's side
|The 2 older boys are very pleased to have their names on the back of the bunk.
So far, I have only used the Cameo to letter the truck (which is far from a professional job but serves the purpose) and make a stick figure family for the back of our van. I would love to play around with it and see what all it can do but that will have to wait until winter when things slow down a bit.

The locker room at the University of Kentucky's famed Rupp Arena is undergoing construction, and what better way to spruce up one of college basketball's iconic cathedrals then to have a portion of the floor from the 2012 Final Four in New Orleans—the same floor where UK won it's eighth National Championship this past year—installed in the locker room floor. And by portion I mean a whopping 3000 sq. feet of the court where Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Doron Lamb and the rest of the Wildcats triumphed in the NCAA tournament.
Said Coach John Calipari (via the Official Site of the Kentucky Wildcats)…
"I'm not sure I've heard of any other locker room doing anything like this," Calipari said. "But then again, it seems like here at Kentucky we do a lot of things that have never been done."
"When you walk on the floor, this is it; this is the floor we won the national title (on) in 2012 and that was the free throw that Doron Lamb made to ice the game, and this is the free-throw line he shot it on," Calipari said. "So it'll be neat."
In addition to the one-of-a-kind floors the locker room will be modeled after NBA locker rooms, a point which Calipari thinks will be a motivating tool in getting recruits to choose Kentucky during their campus visits., as if they needed any more incentive to commit to one of the most prestigious college basketball programs in the country. But hey, every little bit helps.
The remainder of the floor from the Final Four will be divvied up into several hundred pieces and sold to the public, with 100% of the proceeds going to help fight pediatric cancer in Kentucky. With the rabidness of Wildcats fans in the Bluegrass State at an all-time high following their latest championship, expect these items to sell out in about 3 1/2 minutes.

Daily Herald August 24, 2009 Monday Close-up
Provo vet treats pets with acupuncture
Bentley hobbled into the room, his hips stiff and his back legs dragging behind. He made it slowly to the veterinary tech's leg and looked up at her, begging for a scratch behind his ears. His tongue hung out of his mouth and he sat down, exhausted from the walk from the car to the front desk of Riverwoods Pet Hospital in Provo.
The 8-year-old English bulldog has tried several kinds of arthritis medications since the arthritis started setting in three years ago. Nothing seemed to help the inflammation in his back hips. His owner, Kendra Pierce, decided to try the acupuncture.
"He thinks he's a puppy and runs around and then can't get up," Pierce said.
Five years ago, Dr. Yoeny Calas-Dobson integrated traditional Chinese medicine into her daily practice of western medicine.
"I believe in Western medicine like blood work, X-rays and antibiotics, but I began to think, 'What else can I do?"' Dobson said. Before integrating acupuncture and aquapressure, she did a lot of research and training and now believes that acupuncture makes Western medicine that much better.

What do I need to take measurements with otto?
To take measurements, you'll need tools found in the otto Tool Kit. Tool Kits can be ordered via shopseeotto.com.
What is beam?
Beam is new measurement technology from otto. It requires no pattern recognition tool (clip or sticker) attached to the patient's frame.
This new technology emits a pulse of light, which serves as a reference point for calculating measurements.
What's included in the Tool Kit?
When you sign up for otto, you'll be directed to order a Tool Kit that includes one beam, two new clips (large & small), one box of stickers, one stylus, "smile stickers", and extra beam batteries.
You'll choose from one of two kits. The beam size and beam base vary due to the iPad model.
- Tool Kit for iPad (3rd generation, 4th generation, Air, and Air 2)
- Tool Kit for iPad mini (mini, mini 2, mini 3, and mini 4)
Why is there a discrepancy between otto measurements and measurements taken with my pupilometer?
While a pupilometer takes measurements based on the anatomy of a patient's face alone, otto takes measurements based on the way the frame fits on a patient's face. Measuring the patient in the frame the way it will be dispensed allows for greater precision with otto measurements, and ensures the prescription will provide optimal visual acuity once the lens fits into the frame.
There will be a difference in measurements because a pupilometer rounds to the nearest 0.5mm increment, while otto rounds to the nearest 0.1mm.
You can expect to see a slight difference in measurements taken for the same patient with different frames because otto measurements take nose-pad adjustments, bridge thickness, and overall frame fit into consideration.
Can I submit claims through otto?
otto is fully integrated for VSP claims filing and lab order submission. You may also submit private-pay orders through otto.
You'll select your favorite labs to appear in order processing under the partners section seeotto.com.

Are you looking at getting into property investment? Traditionally, this is viewed as the domain of the powerful, filled with those who are building empires and already own a thousand and one properties across Auckland.
However, using your first home as an investment is actually an increasing trend, and there's been a lot of press about this new breed of 'rentvestor' in the last few years.
So what's it all about?
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has kept the cash rate pretty low recently, and interest rates on home loans have remained relatively stable as a consequence.
When you couple this with rising house prices, you find that people are keen to take out a home loan but unable to afford property in their desired area. So, they purchase an investment property as a first home, rent it out, and then lease a home themselves in the suburb they want to be in.
It's a little more convoluted than your classic 'buy the house in the suburbs with the red door and live there forever with 2.5 kids' scenario, but there are some great benefits to it.
Firstly, you get rental income. While interest.co.nz and the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand's (REINZ) monthly report has noted that rental yields are below 4 per cent in many areas of Auckland, this is still another source of income to offset mortgage payments and rent on the home you live in.
That's where your investment strategy needs to be safe and sound. As a rentvestor, you might have more freedom to purchase investment property in an area with strong yields, no matter how far away it is from where you want to live.
That's why sometimes securing an investment home loan for a property out of the city might be a good idea. For example, the REINZ report indicates that even though yields in Hamilton have decreased, they still sit at a very healthy 6 per cent. In Wellington, yields range from anywhere between 5 per cent and well above 6 per cent, depending on which suburb you buy in.
Of course, the tradeoff with high yields is often that capital gains aren't as forthcoming - but that's a whole other article really. Whether you're a first home buyer looking to settle into a new home or are looking to dip your toes into property investment, make sure you get the right mortgage advice.

This actually started as out as a rescue meal at my monther-in-law's very rural home. I had a jar of tomatoes, a can of olives, a head of cabbage and some soy curls. We were hungry, probably not sober and dinner tasted so good. When we got home, I played with the ingredients a little, balanced the sauce and it's become a staple. I love that it's not dominated by too much pasta or a heavy sauce. It's a perfect summer meal. I usually double the sauce, make it ahead of time and freeze half.
Penne with Cabbage & Sun Dried Tomatoes
8 oz penne pasta
2 Tbs olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
4 oz soy curls, rehydrated, drained and roughly chopped
1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced
2 Tbs olive oil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup white wine
15 oz diced tomatoes, including liquid
4 oz jar sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained & diced (1/2 cup)
1 tbs miso
2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 lemon, juiced
To make the sauce, heat the oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic for a few seconds, until fragrant. Add the the wine and let it mostly cook off. Add the diced tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the diced tomatoes start to break up and the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the miso, thyme and lemon juice. You can set aside the sauce off the stove, if necessary, or make it ahead of time.
Prepare the cabbage, onion, olive and soy curls. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook for 8-10 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, add oil to the pan. Add the onion and saute until it begins to soften. Add the cabbage, in handfuls until the cabbage is fully cooked. It should be done close to the time that the pasta is done. Combine the sauce, cabbage, soy curls and olives. Cook until all ingredients are hot, only a minute or two.
