The first time I remember having potato bread was a year or two ago when Mom purchased some potato hot dog buns. The soft and chewy texture of those potato buns were quite addicting! Now, when we buy hot dog buns, I usually request the potato ones. 😋
For about a year, I've been wanting to make a yeasted potato bread. I was going to make some while I was visiting my grandparents in Canada this summer, but unfortunately I didn't have time during our visit. I was excited to finally be able to make this delightful bread!
The shape of this loaf is somewhat unusual: three blobs of dough put in a loaf pan. As they prove and bake, they all join together to make one large loaf. This method of shaping the loaf seems to be popular in the Canadian province of Newfoundland. I think it's a unique way to make a plain loaf look more exciting!
One of my sisters, Bookworm Beth 📚🐛, thought that this bread tasted like a dinner roll from Grandy's, a popular Southern restaurant. If you're fortunate enough to live in one of the 7 states where Grandy's is located, you might know about these yummy buns! 🍞 I think what makes them taste like Grandy's buns is that the dough has a 12-hour prove in the fridge. The coldness from the fridge slows down the yeast, resulting in a slower rise and a better-flavored bread. It gives the dough a hint of tartness, which is just mouthwatering! Plus, it's easy to prep the dough the night before, and just shape, prove, and bake the dough the next day. Who can pass up fresh bread?Print
Overnight Potato Bread
- Prep Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 50 minutes
- Total Time: 15 hours 30 minutes
- Yield: 15 slices 1x
Overnight potato bread is a very soft, lightly sweet loaf made with mashed potatoes. This delicious recipe is sure to become a family favorite!
- about 1/2 cup mashed potatoes, from about 2 small yellow potatoes (125g)
- 5 cups white bread flour (500g)
- 1 tablespoon fast-action yeast (10g)
- 2 teaspoons fine salt (10g)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (65g)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened (85g)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk (118 ml)
- about 1/4 cup cooking water, reserved from boiling the potatoes (about 60 ml)
For Finishing
- Butter for brushing on baked loaf
Mashing the Potatoes (20 minutes + 20 minutes cooking)
- Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil for about 20 minutes, until very soft. Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking water.
- Mash the potatoes very well and put through a ricer so no lumps remain. If you don't have a ricer, just push the potatoes through a sieve with a spoon. Set aside.
Making the Dough (35 minutes + 12 hours proving)
- Warm the milk and reserved potato cooking water to 115 F. Make sure the mashed potatoes have cooled to 115 F also, since temperatures higher than this can kill the yeast.
- Place the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and yeast on opposite sides of the bowl, stirring in each with your hand. Mix in the sugar.
- Dump in the butter, egg, and milk and begin mixing with your hand to start bringing the dough together. Stir and crush the dough with your hand to form a rough dough, gradually adding some of the potato cooking water to finish picking up all the flour from the bowl and to form a soft, somewhat sticky dough. You may not need all the liquid, or you may need additional liquid depending on your flour.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead well for 10-15 minutes until the dough has a slight sheen on the surface and is very smooth, soft, and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball, place in a large, buttered bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough prove in the fridge for 12 hours or up to 24 hours.
Shaping the Loaf (15 minutes + 1 1/2 hours proving)
- Turn out the proved dough onto a floured surface and punch it down all over to knock out large pockets of gas.
- Divide into 3 equal pieces, using a kitchen scale for accuracy. Roll each piece into a taut ball and place the balls in a lightly buttered 9x6x3-inch loaf pan. Cover the pan with a piece of buttered plastic wrap.
- Let the dough prove for about 1 1/2 hours inside of a cold oven with a pan of boiling water inside to create a warm, steamy atmosphere. The dough should rise to 1 inch above the top of the pan.
- About 10 minutes before the loaf is done proving, remove the bread and pan of water from the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F.
Baking the Loaf (30 minutes baking + 20 minutes cooling)
- Bake the loaf at 350 F for 20 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil if it is a rich golden brown. Bake for another 10 minutes, until the loaf has an internal temperature of 190 F. If you have the loaf uncovered, watch it carefully to make sure the top doesn't brown too quickly.
- Turn out the loaf onto a wire cooling rack and brush the top with softened butter. Let it cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve spread with salted butter.
- This recipe is a great way to use up some leftover mashed potatoes. Warm them up to 115 F before adding to the dough and make sure to rice or sieve them to remove lumps.
- If you made your mashed potatoes ahead and didn't save the cooking water, don't worry! Just use additional warm milk instead.

This is how the authors describe a young Magneto: "There was always something about metal he loved." Really? Is that so? A mutant super villain named Magnet-o who hearts metal? Uncanny! Did Archangel always have a thing for down pillows too?
Later in the book, Magneto (who by this time has grown up to be Ian McKellen) begins spouting crazy things like, "You Homo sapiens and your guns…when will you ever learn?" Dialogue like this belongs in comic books and movies, two media platforms that encourage larger-than-life characters and their tiresome grandstanding. Novels, however, don't suffer such foolishness lightly. Writers should be careful with super-size proclamations, even when cribbing directly from the source material.
Despite the novel's writerly shortcomings, it does an adequate job of servicing the X brand. It takes readers into Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and gives all the X boys and girls a little bit of inner life. For some, that may be enough to convince them to pick up the book. For others, their X-Men experience should probably end with the movie's final credits.

My magic Cleaning Secret
Okay, so it isn't really a cleaning secret, and it isn't really magic, but if you've never used baking soda as part of your cleaning routine, it does seem like magic and it is clearly secret because no one ever told you! Baking soda can be used for all sorts of cleaning and deodorizing jobs around the house, but I didn't realize how amazing it was until I used it to clean my old gas stove top. It was an apartment stove, and it was messy when we moved in. Online I found ways to clean it using ammonia and gloves and ventilation. I bought my supplies then never got around to actually doing it because of the ventilation piece and then becoming pregnant.
After reading some conviincing articles about baking soda, I decided it was worth a shot. Well, let me tell you, it was AMAZING. I've never been so excited and satisfied about a cleaning project.
When I recently cleaned my new apartment's stove top, I decided to document the change. it is not as life changing because it is not as dirty as my other stove, but I think you'll get the idea.
Amazing, is it not? Even better was that it was easy and only required moderate scrubbing and no harsh chemicals. No ventilation needed! There are a couple of tiny spots where the grime was more stubborn than I was, and I ran out of time and couldn't clean under the burners, but all in all, pretty freaking fantastic.
ere's how I did it.
First, I sprayed the stove top with a water and Dawn mixture. I keep a spray bottle of this handy for cleaning off our kitchen table and sometimes counter tops.
Second, I sprinkled baking soda on top of the stove top. The goal is to have the baking soda turn to a paste like consistency. It is better to err on the side of too dry than too wet. As you go, you will get a feel for the right consistency.
Finally, I scrubbed using an old rag or scrubby sponge. (Please don't use paper towels to do this! It just won't work as well and you'll go through a million rolls.) If you're stove top is very dirty (I don't judge), it will take a bit of elbow grease. If you're doing something awkward like grates on a gas stove top, an old toothbrush could be useful.
Note: Make sure you test this on your own stove before you try it so you don't damage your stove. I don't think it will work on a stove top with uncoated iron grates.

You might have the speaker system, the music streaming service, and the auxiliary equipment to play songs in your restaurant, but are you missing one crucial element? Music licensing can't be seen, heard, or locked away in a back office filing cabinet…but if you're playing music in your bar or restaurant, it should be a part of your daily operations.
For restaurants, music can be your customer's first impression of your establishment. Your service and products are important, of course, but music can support and shape your business by setting an atmosphere and a pace of life.
Jessica Frost is senior director of industry relations for Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI). She works on sales and customer relations with a focus on business relations, which means she works with many restaurant associations to make sure their members understand the need for a music license.
There are three key things to keep in mind about restaurants, the music industry, and the value of a songwriter's craft.

The only game in town
This isn't a difficult market to decipher at the moment:
If the USD is "doing something" then you need to pay attention. If it isn't, there's that cool book to catch up on or garden or maybe it's time I got round to painting that ceiling or how about a coffee downtown or (etc).
This will of course only work right up to the moment that it doesn't. But for the time being it works, so unless you're one of those into picking up nickels in front of a steamroller we are not living in interesting times.

Losing weight can be difficult, and millions of people struggle with this on a daily basis. Obesity is a serious problem and is the leading cause of heart disease, premature death, cancer, diabetes, and more. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), is a hormone that is naturally produced by pregnant women in the placenta to nourish the mother and baby. Scientists have discovered that the hormone can improve weight loss and muscle mass in women who are not pregnant.
Men can take human chorionic gonadotropin injections and lose weight as well. However, in women particularly it has a more potent efficacy. Women struggle the most with stubborn body fat that accumulates in unwanted areas such as the buttocks, hips, belly, and thighs. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin helps women lose weight, especially in these areas. HCG prevents the feelings of emptiness, hunger, and cravings that cause most people to overindulge and gain weight.
To lose a pound of body weight your body needs to expend 3,500 calories. The average adult needs to consume a diet of 2,000 calories. Reducing your caloric intake will lead to weight loss. However, drastically restricting them will lead to muscle loss and cause the body to look malnourished and emaciated. One of the benefits of the injections is that the body's muscle mass doesn't atrophy with the deficit of calories. Instead, the HCG prevents your metabolism from crashing or slowing down. The hormone shots keep you from losing muscle while dieting and losing weight. The human chorionic gonadotropin elevates testosterone in the body creating a muscle-building state and counteracts that catabolic state. The shots along with the diet will lead to effective fat loss at a rate of 1-2 pounds per day.
The HCG Protocol
The Human Chorionic Gonadotropin plan requires consuming only 500-800 calories per day in combination with the shots. Typically, when one eats a small number of calories, it can lead to headaches, dizziness, nausea, and a slowed metabolism. However, the HCG injections prevent these side effects from occurring. Foods that are allowed on HCG are lean proteins, leafy greens, vegetables, low-starch fruits, coffee, tea, water, and natural spices.
The HCG Diet Phases
Phase one: There are three phases of the HCG diet. During the first phase, you will overload your caloric intake for the first two days. You will take the HCG shots while consuming high calorie/high-fat foods. Once you begin this phase, the HCG will stop new lipids and fat cells from storing in your body. The already stored fat is used as energy to help you lose weight faster.
Phase two: Phase two is where you will begin the eating 500 calories a day. This phase lasts for at least 26 days and no longer than 46 days. You still must take your HCG shots as instructed. The HCG injections will mobilize your fat stores and make up for the loss of calories.
Phase three: Phase three is known as the maintenance phase and the easiest to follow of the three. You can now slowly increase your caloric intake up to 1500 a day. This phase will help your body continue to stimulate weight loss without having to take the HCG shots.
HCG Shots
With several options available for taking HCG, it's hard to wonder which is best. HCG can be taken through liquids, gels, sprays, pills, and injections. If you want to benefit fully from the hormone, shots are the most effective method. The other choices lose their efficacy by dissolving too quickly before reaching the bloodstream. Drops, sprays, and pills do not raise HCG blood levels making them useless as a fat loss and diet aid. Only the injections have been shown to increase blood levels of HCG making it the only acceptable way to take it.
Side Effects On The HCG Diet
The benefits of HCG injections generally outweigh any potential side effects. Thanks to the stabilizing properties it contains, you won't experience headaches, cravings, hunger, digestive changes, dizziness, fatigue, or irritability. After administering the shots, you may experience initial swelling or redness that will subside quickly. Women actually noticed negative side effects when stopping the injections during the first three weeks of the regimen including:
- Loss of shape and size in the breasts.
- Some saw a loss of muscle mass.
- Noticed a dullness in skin tone.
- The side effects of mental hunger weight gain came back.
Injecting Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
Many people feel hesitant when it comes to administering injections themselves. However, it's no different from a person injecting themselves with insulin every day. After the initial shot, you likely won't think twice about it. Human chorionic gonadotropin shots are only available through a prescription. You should avoid options that are over-the-counter or homeopathic. HCG is only useful in prescription strength for fat loss. You will need to start with speaking to your general practitioner or go to a weight loss clinic. Once prescribed, you can either pay for your shots through your local clinic or purchase them through a reputable online retailer. The downside to this is you will have to wait for the product to arrive, mix the solution, and administer the shots yourself.
It's important to be aware that because human chorionic gonadotropin is the primary hormone used to determine pregnancy, it may result in a false positive on a pregnancy test when taking the shots. Physician's do not advise that you take human chorionic gonadotropin shots if you are or trying to become pregnant. Mothers who are breastfeeding shouldn't use HCG injections as it can be transferred through breast milk and harmful to the baby.
For too long, women have resorted to unhealthy and drastic measures to try and lose those weight. Combing the HCG hormone shots with a very low-calorie diet will allow you to lose weight in a natural, healthy way. While the weight loss is rapid, the HCG properties will not result in sagging skin as seen after many other weight loss procedures.

Basic Service FAQs
Every conference has unique requirements, so if you have questions, the best thing to do is call us directly at 352-392-5930. We're here to help!
Getting Started
Q: What does Basic Service entail?
A: Basic Service is a cost effective means for smaller groups who are in a position to handle their own planning and coordination logistics, but need help with receiving, receipting and processing registration payments. For a per registration fee, OCI will receive registrations, record credit card or payment transactions, reconcile deposits, issue receipts, send confirmations, maintain a registrant database and make participant nametags prior to the conference. The faculty member is responsible for all other facets of planning including site selection, meeting logistics, promotion and publicity, web site development, printing and graphics, onsite management, budgeting and paying for expenses incurred. Simply put, OCI handles registration processing only.
Q: How do we get started and what information does OCI need in order to provide us with a Cost Estimate for Basic Service?
A: Call our office at 352-392-5930 to schedule a meeting to discuss the details of your conference.
Promotional Materials & Website
Q: Who do I work with to create promotional materials?
A: We recommend you contact the UF/IFAS Communications Services Graphics Department to assist you with the development and design of brochures, logos, signage and other printed items.
Q: Who designs the full website for promoting my event?
A: Your departmental graphics or IT staff member designs the website and includes a link to the the online registration form created by OCI.
Q: How do I provide invited participants with registration materials?
A: OCI will create an online registration form tailored specifically to your group. Unless specific arrangements are made otherwise, all registrations must be made online.
Q: What information is sent to participants?
A: OCI issues a Standard Confirmation Email to registered participants.
Q: How will I know how many people have registered for my program?
A: We will provide you with a username and password so you can access your web based conference registration list and other essential reports 24/7 from anywhere in the world. Otherwise, you may email your request to your OCI contact or call OCI and ask for a registration report. Anyone at OCI will be able to generate a report and email it to you immediately.
Q: How do we handle onsite/walk-in registrations?
A: Because OCI does not provide onsite registration assistance for Basic Service Groups, you will be provided with a supply of onsite registration forms. Your staff can set up a registration table at the meeting site and ask walk-in participants to complete a form and indicate credit card information on the form or attach a check for payment. When needed, we can also invoice a company after the conference is over to obtain their registration payment. Upon conclusion of the meeting, forward the completed onsite registration forms to OCI, and we will process payments and email receipts. This method makes onsite registration easier for you and your staff and eliminates the need for you to track money and issue receipts.
Fiscal Arrangements
Q: What if we incur expenses before the meeting takes place and need money to pay advance bills?
A: Should this happen, contact your Basic Service Coordinator to request an advance payment of fees collected by OCI. (Note: Refund amount cannot exceed the amount collected as of the request date.)
Q: How do we get the money OCI has collected from registration fees?
A: After all registration fees have been collected and usually within 45* days of the conclusion of your conference, OCI prepares an Actual Cost Report itemizing actual registration numbers, deducts its processing fee for handling those registrations, and issues a refund check for the remaining balance payable to the University of Florida. IFAS requires these excess funds be deposited into an IFAS Extension incidental account (182 fund). If you are working independently with a state association or society, we can also direct the remaining balance to an external non-profit organization. Then your accounting department processes payment for all expenses incurred.
* This may take longer in the event we experience delays in collecting payment from registrants.

Since 2009 now we successfully organize workcamps in Blomberg in cooperation with local youth center and the town hall. Youth center is situated at the edge of the inner city and surrounded by play yards and green areas. The perfect place for a youth center, where kids have enough space for noisy outdoor activities!
Your help is requested in the further development of a project called "Garden of Paradise" for children. It is a yard designed according the concept of "Naschgarten". In this "snack garden", children can play like in an adventure park but they can also plant vegetables and fruit and then eat as they like. This year we can harvest fruits and finish this garden. Another project will be to build a playground for volleyball. We plan that volunteers of the workcamp will be the first playing a match there !
It's manual work outside, sometimes with heavy tools. This project is a co-operation with the town council of Blomberg and the local EUWATEC GmbH, offering employment schemes.
In previous workcamps the international volunteers helped to improve the play and sporting opportunities around the local youth center. A BMX course and a climbing park for the children has been already completed.
Study part:
We can learn about pedagogics of nature how it is practiced in the youth center. Beside this we ae invited to a cultural program, which offers us the opportunity to get to know Blomberg and its region.
Leisure time:
According to the good experiences of the previous camps, volunteers will get in contact with local young refugees living in the same holiday village. There will be some meetings with young people from Blomberg in the evenings and on the weekends. Furthermore the participants have the opportunity to take part of fieldtrips and get to know the local school. The participants are entitled to 1-2 days off for personal use.
Blomberg is a small historical town of about 16,000 inhabitants in the area of the ancient principality "Lippe" (Fürstentum Lippe). Nowadays it is called the Lippe district. Blomberg has a beautiful old town area with half-timbered houses and old alleyways. The old town is also home to a historical castle which now is established has a hotel. The region is characterized by farms, hills (up to 500 meters) and plenty of forests. Nearby of Blomberg there are some bigger cities: Detmold (75,000 inhabitants, distance: 15km) and Bielefeld (330,000) inhabitants, distance 50km) in the west and Hannover (600,000 inhabitants, distance: 70km) in the northeast.

Situated in the beautiful landscape of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Schaalsee the members of association "Eschenhof – Gardening together." aims to run an organic farm together.
Since 2015 the members plant and grow different vegetable crops, potatoes and herbs in foil tunnels and in the field. There is as well an orchard with trees, shrubs and berries and you can find cozy little spots where members socialize together and kids can develop how to live close to nature.
The work together is closely connected to the name of the association – "Gemeinsam Gärtnern" - Gardening together: The essential aspect of the farm is combine social commitment with an alternative way of producing and consuming food by acting in an ecological, climate-friendly and sustainable manner. For further information about Eschenhof please visit eschenhof-verein.de .
The volunteers are welcome to help the association to domesticate a piece of abandoned land and make useful for sustainable gardening. Together you will create garden beds and afterwards plant there herbs, vegetables, shrubs and trees. Later on this area will be used for social purposes and as a meeting place as well.
There will be all kind of gardening work to do, sometimes physical demanding (for the one which like to feel and act with the personal strength !).
Study part:
During your volunteering you can learn a lot about "Perma Culture", which is a concept where selected plants are grown together in a way that a reduced input of energy and fertilizer is needed.

The "University of the Farmhouse" once was a farm, built in the local stile of half-timbered houses. Nowadays it is a center of education for nature, culture, youth work and sustainability. The former stable and all other rooms are renovated and offer a cosy ambience for the visitors. The general aim of this project is to demonstrate different ecological cultivation methods and then to practice these methods.
In the last years with the help of several workcamps there was created a new seminar room. It is set up in a sustainable manner, which means that are only used ecological materials. This year volunteers are invited to help to start a new project which once will be an "innovative and interactive schoolyard" where visitors can experience the sustainable use of natural resources.
Additional work like making firewood can be done. As every year, volunteers are invited to get to know the local Perma Culture garden and do some gardening there. While looking after the plants, there this the possibility to harvest fruits. Of course there is also the opportunity to get to know about the idea of a Permaculture with its, plants, animals and environment.
Therefore we are looking for motivated young people who are interested in handicrafts, advanced training and gardening/landscaping.
Study part:
How to create a productive garden which grows plants and feeds animals in a way that only a minimum input of energy and resources are required to achieve maximum sustainability to the environment? Interesting ecological and cultural projects/information from your country is very welcome.

Several organizations of the German peace movement are currently running a campaign to ban the last nuclear weapons which are stationed in Germany. In the eighties huge protests out of the civil society has been successful and most of the intermediate-range missile, called Pershing II, has been disarmed in Germany. But the treaty was just this February canceled by the US and Russia. In our world there are still more than 14.000 nuclear weapons remaining! The peace-workshop "Friedenswerkstatt Mutlangen" invites international volunteers from East and West to study peace and support activities against nuclear weapons.
The workcamp will start in Mutlangen, a former location of nuclear missiles, 40 km east of Stuttgart. There the blockades against the missiles have been successful. In the second part we move on to the military air-base Buechel on the Eifel hills, where still nuclear weapons are stationed. Participants will get to know and discuss history and actual questions of nuclear disarmament, trust-building and non violence.
All volunteers are invited to stay in the resistance camp until 16th of July. If you are interested please contact camp leader.
The campaign:
Twenty nuclear bombs are still kept in the airbase Buechel. They belong to the US Army and in case of war, they would be flown by German pilots on the command of the president of the USA. Instead of abolished, as the international law demands, these weapons are going to be upgraded. The campaign "Buechel is everywhere - Global Zero Now" demands the stop of the so called modernization of the bombs, the removal from Germany and a legal ban of all nuclear weapons. The campaign is part of ICAN, (International Campaign to abolish Nuclear Weapons), which got the Nobel Peace Prize few years ago.
Volunteers are invited to join our campaigns and activities for promoting peace during the time of the workcamp. You will help us through your participation and through some manual and artistic work: In Mutlangen we will have promoting actions for a peaceful world in the "Rems garden show". We will have a peace bicycle ride 40 km along the river Rems. And together we will design and create an artistic installation for the so called "peace meadow" in Buechel and support the campaign against the remaining nuclear weapons. We believe that campaigns for nuclear disarmament and nonviolence conflict resolution are messages worth to be spread in the media. We invite you to learn from best examples in peace building and to help us to share these examples in social media as messages of peace. If possible you can translate them into your language. Such skills are particularly welcome!
Study part:
Volunteers will receive information about nuclear weapons, ongoing nuclear armament programs and efforts of disarmament and reconciliation. We will share experiences about different forms of action for peace. As there will be contacts to German native speakers, workcamp is good possibility to improve your German language skills.
Leisure time:
Volunteers can visit attractions in the "Swabian Jura" and the "Eifel".
We sleep in tents. In Mutlangen in the garden of the "Pressehütte". In Büchel in a peace camp on a field beside the military airfield. You will need to bring sleeping pad and sleeping bag. Vegetarian food will be prepared together.
Participation fee:
We ask for a contribution of 50.- Euro for the travel costs during the workcamp.
Please note:
Official end of the workcamp will be in Buechel, not in Mutlangen. Next train station in Buechel is Cochem, from there you can go with train to Frankfurt, Stuttgart or Cologne (via Koblenz). Another option is to use airport Frankfurt Hahn, which is much nearer, you can reach it by bus.

You can get to know the rich history of Eilenburg through guided tours in the museum and in the cellars, located in the hill in the center of the city.
Eilenburg is a small town with approx. 17 000 inhabitants, situated on the border of the "Dübener Heide" and approximately 25km from the exhibition city Leipzig. Its rich history of over thousand years, makes it easy to call it one of the cradles of Saxony. The continuous rule of the Wettins-Dynasty beginning with the Earl of Ilburg in the 11th century was carried on until 1918. Part of their territory is the state of Saxony today.
In medieval times and during industrialization Eilenburg was a rich city. At the time of Martin Luther its main business was brewery and in the 19th century it was a national center of textile industries. But Eilenburg also was devastated several times in its history. In April 1945, Eilenburg was almost completely destroyed. As the only evidence of former rich times remained the "Sorbenturm" as a remaining part of the Ilburg. It was assumedly built in the 12th century at the highest part of the 220m x 150m plateau. A loop footpath outside the castle wall connects the "Sorbenturm" with the "Amtshaus"(deanery), the former county court. This path has been renewed with the help of the volunteers in the last workcamps.
The volunteers will live in the local youth center called "House IV". The group can cook for itself in a modern kitchen.
Sleeping bags and camping mats should be brought by you, it is also necessary to bring work clothes, raingear and sturdy shoes.

Since many years now we offer this successful workcamp together with the protestant community center "Petrusgemeinde". The international volunteers are invited to the Asylum Centre for two weeks to take part in the daily life of the refugees. In the study part of the camp, we want to inform about the situation of refugees in Germany and Europe, as well as the current developments in the area of Asylum-policies. We want you to get in contact with the residents of the Asylum Centre so that we can learn about their stories, difficulties and perspectives.
The Asylum Centres for asylum seekers in Hessen is located at the edge of the city Giessen. There are currently around 600 asylum-seekers hosted in former army baracks. The refugees are in Germany because of various reasons, e.g. political, ethnic and religious persecution or poverty. Usually they stay at the facility for few months until a decision has been made about their application. Sometimes they are sent to other centers or to other "safe countries" where they entered the European Union, or to their countries of origin. Most of the people living in the Asylum Centres in Giessen are from Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Eritrea and Balkan countries: Young men, women, children and older people. The asylum seekers live in simple conditions and are not allowed to work or leave the district in which they live. Their permission to stay in Germany often is limited and so is their contact with the locals living in the city.
Together with the refugees we want to organize common activities, where the women and children are taken into consideration. In addition, our goal is to get in contact with the young members of the local protestant church to raise greater awareness for the refugees and to break the isolation of the refugees. We will prepare contact with students of the university that are willing to take care of the medical issues of the refugees and to pursue the legal issues of the asylum law. We will also get in contact with students of the University who medicate people without legal status. We especially invite volunteers to participate, who are able to speak Turkish, Arabic or Farsi. Besides organizing common activities with the refugees, we plan to construct some furniture made from old palettes together. They can be used outside, and will be nucleus of a meeting point of the inhabitants of the center.

Commemorating as a way towards peace!
The Evangelical parish of Datteln is the origin of the movement of the Christian voluntary service, nowadays known as yap-cfd. The Parish of Datteln aims to remember a historical encounter, which took place after World War I during the French occupation of the Ruhr area. It happened on the Good Friday in 1923 in Lutherhaus (former parish center): the French lieutenant Etienne Bach and the German official Karl Wille found the strength for reconciliation. Following their example, representatives of many nations, which could see each other only as enemies for generations, found a good way to communicate. The root of the movement "Young activists for Peace" lies in this international encounter more than 90 years ago. Lots of volunteers have learned that reconciliation is possible, even if contradictions seem to be unbridgeable
In the last workcamps with the help of the local artist Ms. Ulrike Speckmann, volunteers created colorful messages of peace to be shown in public places: They designed "benches of encounter" and a big mural in the local kindergarden. Two years ago, volunteers designed a big picture for the entrance hall of the local church. It was done as reflection of a memorial in the same room, which still shows a very militaristic and nationalistic approach.
This year volunteers are invited to work with old porcelain. With coloured pencil or paintbrush, volunteers can design old tableware, which can be used to build up an installation called "a table of peace and reconciliation". As every time, this installation will be shown to public in a final exhibition. Again the artist is happy to help you to get in a creative process of painting. For information about the artist, please visit ulrike-speckmann.de.
In addition to this artistic activities it is foreseen to visit the local kindergarden, to play with the children and to do some gardening there.
Members of the parish will be happy if volunteers are ready to contact the different social groups of the town, especially the children and the older generation.
Study part:

Bedheim castle was first mentioned in the year 1169 and was devastated and reconstructed several times in its long history. In the time of German Democratic Republic (GDR) it slowly rotted. Now renovation is done by the family of Ruehle von Lilienstern. A non-profit association is supporting the renovation work and using part of the castle for its own activities. Since 1992 this association has been organizing workcamps. Year by year new working fields has been developed: A social therapeutic nursery was added, the association is running an organic garden and since 2007 the castle also runs a garden café and a small castle museum where you can admire the bones of prehistoric dinosaurs, once living in this region.
During the last 20 years the castle became a sociocultural center for this remote region: In the castle there is a perfect room for celebrations, around the castle one can find various types of gardens and meadow for goose and goats. In addition there are training courses and cultural activities available. The aim of this project is to create an atmosphere where people with or without disabilities may come, live and work together without any prejudice against handicap, nationality or religion. The website gives an impression about the specific and very nice character of this place schloss.bedheim.de.
Inhabitants of the castle are looking forward to meet us, to work with us and hear our suggestions and ideas and to create a peaceful world together!
Volunteers are invited to help in the care and preservation of this ancient monument. We will work 6 hours daily, to do painting and cleaning inside or to maintain the garden around the castle. In the garden kind of work depends to the season, usually it is harvesting fruits, cutting trees, bushes and hedges. Encounters with kids and people of the region are foreseen. Every year Bedheim castle is part of the nationwide event called "day of the open monument". The castle will be opened in the weekend for guests and we can support with doing some service and show an artistic performance. In the last years volunteers showed a dance and played piano music. You can develop something according your talents. There will be the possibility to take on day of during the week as compensation.
We may learn more about the following topics: Natural beauty of the environment. We can make excursions to places of cultural and historical interest (e.g. Weimar, the city of Goethe and the concentration camp Buchenwald). We can have discussions and lectures about German history, society, culture and politics (the German East-West border was only 9 km away from Bedheim). There will be the possibility to encounter with young people of the region and getting to know more about the countries of the participants.
Bedheim castle offers a simple group accommodation in seminar house. There are beds with mattresses and pillows, but sleeping bag is needed. Meals will be prepared by the group (less meat but a lot of very good vegetables and fruits from the nursery). Warm water is provided from solar collector.
Bedheim castle is located in the west of Thuringia, close to the Bavarian border. Next bigger town is Coburg (28km away). Bedheim is surrounded by the extraordinary beautiful Franconian landscape.
Some basic knowledge of German or English is recommended. Please bring rain and working clothes as well as swim suits, a sleeping bag, slippers, towels and warm pullovers with you. You can also bring a map, pictures or special food items from your country.
Bedheim is 8km from the train station of Hildburghausen and 15km from the train station of Bad Rodach.

Jo's Story – circumferential body lift, brachioplasty, thigh lift, abdominoplasty and liposuction
For most of us, the idea of a 7 hour marathon on the operating table is a little (lot!) scary. However, in the hands of the right surgeon, and when you combine several different procedures to be performed in one go, it can absolutely be the best way to go. Jo, was brave enough to share her story with us. She had a circumferential body lift, brachioplasty, thigh lift, abdominoplasty and liposuction all in the one procedure.
Jo is a 53 year old nurse whose story starts when she had a gastric sleeve in 2014 and lost 50kgs. Because of the massive weightloss Jo had heaps of excess skin. She says, "I had empty skin that exercise just didn't get rid of. My arms bothered me the most – they were big and floppy. Also, my inner thighs were drooping down to my knees."

This was my third year in a row running the Shamrock Shuffle. This is easily one of my favorite races. It marks the beginning of spring and the racing season (I know you can race all winter, but from now until … Thanksgiving? you could race practically every weekend without travelling too far if you wanted), it's a great course through downtown Chicago, the post-race atmosphere is fun, and I always see lots of people I know.
I spent Saturday at the expo volunteering at the ACS booth.
I rode down to the race with Anne and friends and we found Mo in the wave 1 area. She was looking pretty chipper for someone who ran a marathon the day before.
Reppin' the Wurst Running Club Ever
After getting through the long port-o-pottie lines, I found Kelly and we headed to corral B. Neither of us felt like we would be able to PR, so we agreed to run together and just have fun. I miss my BRF!!
But first, let me take a selfie!

We finished in 47:09. I'll take it. Given my running lately, that's pretty much what I expected. We spent the race chatting and run-dancing and just enjoying the morning.
I went to retrieve my bag from gear check and then wander around the post-race party. I ran into Nicole and chatted for a bit before getting my beer. When I got to the front of the line, the beer volunteer asked if I had a wristband. What? No, I don't have a wristba …. HEY!
It was my buddy Megan! Of all the beer lines in all the world, I walked into her's. [And yes, she gave me a wristband. I used to be her boss, so, she kind of had to, right?]
As I was headed back toward the direction of Nicole, I ran into Amanda and some of the F'N Runners! It was great to see them! I miss my old running crew. Nicole ended up finding us as well.
Eventually I found the WRCE, which was good, because they were my ride back to our 'hood, and more importantly, brunch. And we found the Green Guys! Which now includes a Green Lady.

Also, congrats to us! Not the wurst! (14th out of 74 teams in the blue division)

…sending a gazillion Christmas cards to the same people over, and over, and over again…
which is apparently what I have done.
I made and ordered my Christmas cards this year from Tiny Prints.
Clever me had seen this really cute photo idea on Pinterest (you know, my other crazy
problem addiction love) and I just wanted to somehow turn it into a fabulous noone-would-ever-forget-it card…
(no chance of that happening!)
So, I searched all of my favorite card-making sites (Shutterfly, Tiny Prints, Vista Prints) and the only site with a decent choice with 9 open photo slots was Tiny Prints and I really was pleased with the finished result:
something has seriously gone amuck.
I filled out the forms for my cards to be sent directly from Tiny Prints to my friends and family, you know, to make my life "easier".
Instead, something went wrong and some of my family members and friends have not gotten my cards at all while others have received 3 or more of the same card.
Why Tiny Prints? Why?
Thankfully, my friends and family members are taking it in stride and just laughing at me, calling me a "crazy stalker" or "slightly obsessed" for sending so many duplicates to them, but what really makes me want to cry is not knowing who didn't receive a card at all.
You see, Christmas cards are my thing.
I have sent a special photo Christmas card with all of my children to all of my friends and family members since 1996 and the idea that someone I know won't have our photo gracing their mantle, fridge, garland, what-have-you, makes me sort of want to puke a little.
Because, well, Christmas without the Bouffard card is like Christmas without Ralphie in his bunny suit… isn't it????
(ok, maybe that's just me 😉 )
but, still.
I feel bad.
So, if you didn't get your card from me.
You know why.
And please, let me know.
I will make sure you get it, even if it means it arrives in 2012 😉

ps I'm kind of a big deal today 😉
I'm being featured on BlogHer for a post I wrote about Will 🙂

Can I make a confession?
I've never really liked chicken wings. They're always so tiny, and compared to other pieces of meat (like a steak) they're too much work for too little reward. So when I received a couple pounds of them in my meat share (yay for local, pastured meat!), I wasn't quite sure what to do with them.
Thankfully, my husband was all over that. 😉
"Ooh! You should make some BBQ wings!" he excitedly exclaims.
Surrrrrre. 'Cause I know how to do that, right? Not really. But I've BBQ'd other parts of a chicken before, so it can't be that much harder.
Let me tell you, friends. Not only was this not harder, it was tastier! I suppose slathering butter on something is a sure fire way to make it tastier, though…. 😉
If you're hesitant to make wings, like I was, fear not. I'm sure you will enjoy these – take it from a former wing un-lover.
- as many chicken wings as you want
- your favorite BBQ sauce (don't have one? try my super easy Raw Blender BBQ Sauce, or my Mom's Homemade BBQ Sauce)
- 3-4 T. melted butter (more if you got a ton of wings)
- Preheat the oven to 200. Line a cookie sheet with foil (you don't have to if you're not into foil, it just makes clean-up easier). Place an oven-safe cooling rack (like this) on the cookie sheet. Slather your wings with sauce and place them on the cooling rack. Bake for 2 hours. Remove cookie sheet from oven, flip the wings, and slather more sauce on them. Place them back in the oven for 2 more hours. Turn the oven up to 400 and remove the wings again. Brush them with butter and bake at 400 for 1/2 hour longer.
- Enjoy!

Right now, a significant portion of America is feeling left out — overlooked, even. We voted for a presidential candidate who won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, yet somehow, it's like we don't exist and our interests don't matter — at least in the eyes of the president-elect.
If there's one person who can relate to this feeling more than anyone right now, it's Tiffany Trump — Donald's daughter with ex-wife Marla Maples.
More: 8 things to know about Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump
The 23-year-old "Like A Bird" singer recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, is considering attending Harvard Law School and is friends with Little Miss Sunshine. By all accounts, she's doing pretty well. In fact, she is likely the most well-adjusted of all the Trump offspring, particularly since her mother famously told The New York Times that "I had the blessing of raising her pretty much on my own."
Since starting his presidential campaign, Donald has made no secret of his love for — and attraction to — his daughter Ivanka. He is also fond of Don and Eric — his other children with ex-wife Ivana Trump — and their slicked-back business hair. And his youngest son — with current wife Melania Trump — is literally named Barron, so his legacy within the Trump dynasty is pretty secure.
More: Abigail Breslin tried to stop a Tiffany Trump Twitter roast
The Brothers Trump are there to take over the family business. Ivanka will settle into her role as first daughter-lady. And then there's Tiff.
On Election Day, Donald told a Fox & Friends panel that he was proud of all his children — and Tiffany — "you know, to a lesser extent."
Tiffany is Jan Brady to Ivanka's Marcia. She's the Peggy Schuyler of the Trump family. We are aware of her existence, but don't really know much about her beyond that. And her father seems to prefer it that way.
More: Everyone is talking about Tiffany Trump after the last presidential debate
Tomorrow I'll think of Tiffany — we'll both be in D.C., neither one of us with free blowouts — and hope that her exclusion from the spotlight will allow her to lead a relatively normal life. If nothing else, at least she'll be able to afford health care.

During my presentations at ASC Chapter meetings, and during phone calls with shop owners – just like the other day when I talked to Mitch Schneider – there is the same kind of questions popping up when it comes to internet marketing. So Mitch and I thought it might be a good idea to make those questions the subject of a series of interviews.
Enjoy the first one you find below and PLEASE leave your questions, so he and I can tailor our upcoming topics to your needs.
