Best rhubarb muffins recipe ever
We are still enjoying the rhubarb bounty. Here's a recipe for really moist rhubarb muffins that I made twice last week. Firstly, they were served at a 'girly' housewarming/birthday party last Thursday, attended by all my aunties (that's three maternal and one paternal), my parents (my dad was unable to attend the 'real' birthday party on a previous weekend), as well as some of my first cousins (not all 11 though:). Instead of birthday cake, I made lots of these rhubarb muffins that day, served as a pyramid on a cake stand. Very pretty!! But in the midst of all the buzz and excitement, we forgot to take a picture. Not that it mattered much, as it gave me a good excuse to make these very same muffins again on Sunday.
These muffins, let me tell you, are the moistest muffins you'll make. They're so moist, that even if you eat them on the following day, they taste like they're freshly baked. Delicious!
Rhubarb muffins
(Maailma parimad rabarbrimuffinid)
Serves 12
2 medium eggs
125 g sugar (150 ml)
150 g plain flour (250 ml)
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
150 grams sour cream (20%)
50 grams butter, melted and cooled
400 grams rhubarb, (peeled and) chopped
Cinnamon and demerara sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Whisk eggs with sugar until pale and frothy.
Mix the dry ingredients. Add to the egg mixture together with sour cream and melted butter. Fold in the rhubarb.
Fill 12 hole muffin tray (they'll be pretty full, as rhubarb gives a lot of bulk initially, but shrink while the batter rises), sprinkle with cinnamon and demerara sugar
Bake at 225 C for 13-15 minutes, until muffins have risen and turned golden brown.
Cool a little before serving, as the rhubarb pieces can be very hot!

i'm definitely going to make these! i am such a rhubarb addict... and i haven't had much luck with recent tries at muffin baking. so many recipes use tons of oil whereas your sour cream seems to be a light and healthy alternative!

Ooh, those sound great! I made a rhubarb kuchen thing from Nigella's yesterday and it was so disappointing - will try these with my next batch of rhubarb...

Hey, here's a thought, how about posting the recipes here in ENGLISH sae measurements too. Not all of us are on the metric system...DUH.

I am crazy for rhubarb and would have your muffins over b-day cake any day. In fact, May is my b-day month, so if you're looking for an edible gift to send my way.... ;)
I can't wait to check out your other rhubarb recipes too! - 12:37 am, May 10, 2007

I think I have enough rhubarb left to make these tomorrow. They look delicious, perfect for sunday brunch
- 6:08 am, May 10, 2007
These look and sound fantastic Pille! I so wish I comes across some rhubarb again...If I can't though, any tips for a passable substitution?

Oh, they do look lovely, I am going to look for rhubarb.

Johanna - the sour cream (you can always use creme fraiche, I guess) keeps the muffins moist as well, so it's a lighter - and better- alternative to butter!
Alanna - thank you!!
Zarah Maria - I cannot believe that Nigella disappointed you - I'm a huge fan of hers!
Bob - oh, please don't tell me that. I spent 7 years in Scotland constantly converting British recipes into metric!! I'll think about that, ok?
Susan - well, what about me making another batch for your birthday and then eating them as a celebration of your special day? A rhubarb crumble, a rhubarb & marzipan cake, and some other recipes are on their way:)
Helen - Sunday brunch would be a great showcase for these muffins indeed!
Joey - well, I guess you could use apples (though then you can just make my apple muffins). Gooseberries would be a good alternative, too, though they're probably not too easy to find in your part of the world either?
Gracianne - I'm sure you'll find it, as it seems to be a popular fruit (sorry, vegetable:) in France as well! - 4:23 pm, May 15, 2007

Stumbled on you're blog by accident when I was looking for a different thing to make with rhubarb. I tried this last week; they were ate quickly so must have been good. I'll be trying you're apple muffins shortly, and no doubt will be back for more. Thanks!

Hi, I made these muffins this afternoon. We enjoyed them, and though we usually like our cakes warm, thought they were even better when cool. I've got both rhubarb and sour cream, so will make them again soon.
I wasn't sure whether you used cups when measuring the sugar and flour since the measures are in ml. I thought you might have done, so that was what I used, and it seemed to have worked fine. Was that right? Thanks! - 12:16 am, June 07, 2010
I tried these today and they came out very nicely! The batter looked a bit "dry" and hardly keeping the rhubarb pieces together, I only managed to fill 11 muffin cups - but the baked result is really wonderful! Well risen, moist, beautiful colours! I am cooking tones of muffins, but these ones are now among my top favourites. Thank you very much for the recipe(s, Pille!

Wow!! I love the idea of veg in cakes, especially after trying a gorgeous Red Velvet made with Beetroot. Seems to create a lovely moist texture.
Thanks for the recipe! Great blog.

Never tried rhubarb in muffins before ... now I've got to go out and find some. . I suppose granny smith apples can be substituted since they impart the same kind of tartness?

They look so beautiful. Just a question - do I really have to measure sugar and flour in ml and the rest in grams or is it meant to be all in grams?

Hey Food Lovers,
Great Blog and wanted to share with Apple Lovers out there a site www.AppleCooking.com that has everything Apples.
This is a nice recipe I found that I hope to have time to try this weekend.
Blueberry Apple Crisp
I adapted this from a 50-year-old peach crisp recipe. Although it works well with peaches, it works even better with fresh, crisp cooking apples.
If you want to see the full recipe I
am making and anyone that has done this one ever have any suggestions
during cooking that may help please leave a post on the recipe. Thanks! - 6:21 pm, May 09, 2014

Chapter 3
Jesus tells Nicodemus that men must be born again—God so loved the world that He sent His Only Begotten Son to save men—John the Baptist testifies that he that believes on the Son has everlasting life.
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named aNicodemus, a bruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these amiracles that thou doest, except bGod be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be aborn bagain, he cannot csee the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be aborn of bwater and of the cSpirit, he cannot denter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be aborn again.
8 The awind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the bSpirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 aVerily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and btestify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye abelieve not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath aascended up to heaven, but he that bcame down from heaven, even the cSon of man which is in heaven.
14 ¶ And as Moses lifted up the aserpent in the wilderness, even so must the bSon of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 ¶ For aGod so bloved the cworld, that he dgave his eonly begotten fSon, that whosoever gbelieveth in him should not perish, but have heverlasting ilife.
17 For God asent not his Son into the world to bcondemn the world; but that the world through him might be csaved.
18 ¶ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that abelieveth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the bname of the only begotten cSon of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that alight is come into the world, and men loved bdarkness rather than light, because their cdeeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth aevil bhateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that adoeth btruth cometh to the clight, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 ¶ After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and abaptized.
23 ¶ And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much awater there: and they came, and were bbaptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 ¶ Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, aand all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can areceive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from aabove is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he atestifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath aset to his bseal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent aspeaketh the words of God: bfor God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the aSon, and hath bgiven all cthings into his hand.
36 aHe that believeth on the Son hath beverlasting life: and he that cbelieveth not the Son shall not see life; but the dwrath of God abideth on him.

India needs a two party system.... ha!
As you will discover, I had the best time writing it....ha ha...
I haven't paid a crore of rupees to acquire the rights to what has rapidly become the nation's anthem - Jai Ho! So, sue me guys. I must hand it to those smart Charlies who handle the image business of the Congress party. That was a clever move – excellent timing, too. Now I hear they've roped in the bachchas from the award winning movie to sing and dance for them at various poll stations. Don't know what is more ludicrous – Mayawati's idea to put up gigantic statues of elephants across her state, or to parade these slum kids as a vital part of the Incredible India campaign. The next elections? The pits. The absolute pits. Nautanki at its worst,in terms of strategy – when all else fails, pull out the jokers! I remember an Italian diplomat snorting disparagingly into his vino as he recalled his encounter with Mayawati in Lucknow last year. What he couldn't get over was the handbag-statue!! He had yet to see anything like it in all his long years of service, and at any of the many destinations he'd been posted to. " Why is she so attached to her handbag? Even the Queen of England loves her purses, but one doesn't see statues of her hanging on to them for dear life." I assured him it was a deeply symbolic representation invested with layers of meaning, and left it at that.If Mayawati and her bag can never be parted, doesn't it say something? He drank the rest of the vino in one quick gulp and disappeared to ponder over the remark. I bet he was thinking, "Mama mia! These Indian women…. they are quite crazy."
'Crazy' is likely to be the operative word in the next elections. Seats are being sold like peanuts…. very, very expensive peanuts , of course. 'Paisa lao. Ticket le jao." Cash and carry. No fuss. No nakhra. And most importantly, no bulls*#* either. Nobody is even trying to pretend this is about competence and qualifications. If you have the curves and the cash – you are in! Nagma – yes, Sourav's Nagma, also wants to serve the country all of a sudden. I want to tell her, " You already have, honey. You really have." Sourav's game improved radically after his brief liaison with the bombshell. There are several other glam dolls who are keen to serve the country. In what capacity? Don't ask. Preity may. Which is not a bad thing. There's not much of a career left in Bollywood for the talented lass. Cricket and politics make great bed fellows, as Pawar will tell you. Tomorrow, it may be Rakhi Sawant's turn. Or Monica Bedi's. Molls welcome, ji. They know how to survive in jungles. And if cop rumours are to be believed, Monica is sitting on one hell of a lot of dosh – never mind that Abu Salem is getting increasingly antsy about it. The logic is simple, as Amar Singh has pointed out – glamour sells. People will vote for anybody they can recognize. This only goes to prove the absolute and total power of Page 3. And television, of course. If you are seen frequently enough, you really don't require any other attributes. The next parliament is likely to be the most photogenic one in India's history. Packed with movie stars, models, tv presenters, anchors, reality show judges , lawyers and other 'been there, done that' types one visually encounters on a daily basis. It's a good time to be photogenic. And invest in Botox. Seriously.
The scarey part comes in when criminals (official and non-official) get into Parliament. There are several from the current crop with criminal records. We also know many other M.P.s who are even bigger crooks.But there's nothing on paper to nail them. The monies involved are staggering, and chances are the forthcoming fights will be fiercer than anything India has witnessed earlier. Political sleep- ins have become so shameless, that even the raunchiest madams in the world's sleaziest brothels would blush at these strange, even perverse couplings. In Mumbai, the party has just begun. Assorted 'concerned citizens' are busy organizing wine and cheese evenings for their chosen candidates. Excuse me, is it a store opening? A fashion event? An art show? Same thing, yaar. Most of the questions raised are as faltu and fake as the candidates themselves. But that hardly matters. There is talk of Poonam Mahajan revving things up. Tomorrow, the other more notorious Mahajan (Rahul) may throw his hat into the ring , too. That should be fun. Surprise, surprise - Mumbai has suddenly discovered it's a part of India, after all. It is most amusing to overhear earnest conversations about which 'brother' is backing which candidate. There are only two 'Bothers' in India, right? Overnight experts have sprung up, and all of them talk rubbish. People walk upto complete dolts to ask, " So…. Which party do you think will win?" The dolts look extremely worried, as they pronounce their verdict - " Mayawati is too corrupt. On the other hand, the others are no better. Everybody is corrupt. But we must not give up hope. This is the time for systemic change." Yeah?? No kidding!Aaaaargh!
Frankly, there should be a two party system in India - Bollywood and Cricketers. That will make life so much easier for voters. We are nearly there. We just need to go official with the agenda. Nobody wants to consider those thakela stalwarts, who look ready to shift to a better place in heaven, where they can finally rest their tired bones and give up the good fight. They've all had their innings…. done their bit…. served the country, but in significantly different ways than Nagma and her ilk. Bahut ho gaya. Atalji, Manmohanji, Advaniji, Pawarji – take five, you guys. We worry about those stents, the hardened arteries and twisted hernias. Why push it beyond nature's kindness? Give the bachchas a chance. Because the folks we call 'bachchas' are well into their forties. Just like Barack Obama. And look where he is today. Do we really want our Young Turks to be seventy before we think they are old enough to run the show? Let's face it, Omar may spend more time on the ski slopes in trendy gear than in addressing other issues in his beloved valley. Rahul Baba may decide to visit Dharavi and go for a 'Slumdog…" photo –op with Jamal and Latika in tow. But at least these guys look good. Talk good. Like John Abraham or Ranbir Kapoor or Hritik Roshan. Do they know what's going on?? As much as Uncleji or the next Johnny. Do they have bagmen to collect the loot on their behalf? Come on, they've learnt something from the oldie goldies, surely. Are they capable of converting India into a land of milk and honey?? Is India safe in their hands? Arrey baba, don't make me laugh.India has been on auto pilot for years. God knows who's in charge, who calls the shots, and how we've survived. I believe in karma. So must we all – that's all we've got!! Jai Ho!! Jai Hind!

True.....So why we need to worry.
Laugh at the horse trading- (Read tickets, constituency sharing), Old foes new friends dialogue( Learn how to forgive and forget-Your own integrity),heated debate on TV, Exit polls, loyal bollywood clans for Rajya sabha seat,Post poll alliances( Learn how soon you can get selective amensia)

I don't know about Cricketers, but the bhais and dons should definitely be a legit part of the election system. After all, what's politics without "ek phone call lagaega na..."
Even with the golden oldies(or even the silver and platinum ones) seemingly running out of steam but still struggling to keep up the pace, the NextGen of politics has barely raised it's hood without a gigantic push from daddy dearest. And for those that HAVE come up independently, well, few have generated as much action as Raj T. and look where that has got him.
I can't say what we need, rather what our nation needs at this moment, and personally, it has hardly ever mattered, coz as you've so well put it,
"India has been on auto pilot for years. God knows who's in charge, who calls the shots, and how we've survived. I believe in karma. So must we all – that's all we've got!!" - March 14, 2009 at 3:02 PM
God, what do u do in a country where even votes are bought? What's the point of voting. Yes, yes they say you should. But the situation is pretty hopeless. By the time our many villages wake up and smell the shit, it will be too late. Our elections are a joke.

Mayawati and her hand bags. Heard about her birthday parties? She is in her early thirties. The most desired woman in UP. She must make a good prime minister. She can make the world give in that the Indians do have a sense of humour after all. - March 14, 2009 at 8:12 PM

Bollywood vs cricket, sounds like a plan! God it might come to that. Maybe a reality tv show on the elections call it "Fear Factor"?? Naaah! More like "Temporary Insanity" or more like "a Complete Lapse of Reason". Any suggestions?

Shobha's columns and the feedback on this article exposes the Ignorance about so CALLED EDUCATED INDIANS..
Not a single one of you understands how power works else you would not be looking as jokers in these political columns...
Just a small crash course...
1) The loosers who are trying to get elected are by definition corrupt. But its not people but the positions they occupy are corrupt (1 PM from 1 billion, 'Don't kid with me if you say that only one is qualified).
2) INDIAN DEMOCRACY IS EXECUTED IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CALLED AS "HINGLISH". One cannot provide LEGAL JUSTICE in a foreign language.. Else you get this hojpoj and Chaos.
3) Finally People who get elected DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO ONCE THEY ARE ELECTED.. - March 14, 2009 at 9:23 PM

A Corollary: Govinda and Dharmendra appear unlikely to win, were they to contest again from their respective constituencies in Bombay and Bikaner.
As for the money spent, think of it as redistribution of wealth. Out of the ten thousand crores that is expected to be spent, the portion comprised of black-money might not otherwise have reached the workers and entrepreneurs that it is likely to reach now. - March 14, 2009 at 10:12 PM

Respected Shobhaa Madam, The article written here is 100% true. I like your articles written on these Corrupt and self serving Politicians. Please keep it continued, frequently. India is on Auto Pilot... once a German had visited India. Seeing the streets, the people, the system, the chaos etc. and the Country moving on, he started to believe that GOD exists. God help INDIA.

India has indeed been on auto pilot for a long time.
I guess this superfluous spending on glamourising something that actually is quite stark is how India knows how to get by, as it is esssentially practised in every facet. - March 15, 2009 at 6:16 AM

as Maddy says above we have been on auto-pilot for years...but i think our country is run by the IAS officers not the politicians. - March 15, 2009 at 11:15 AM

I dont agree with your two party system. 3 things India and indians cant let go is Crickters, Movie stars and politicians. So by leaving politicians, who are even bigger a starts than movie stars, life becomes a tad too dull.
Though i did not agree with your comments during the Mumbai blasts...i shall take it as differing opinion. But it is sad to see educated, articulate personalities like you making irresponsible statements. - March 15, 2009 at 4:23 PM

Bollywood vs cricket - I don't think they could be worthy contenders, as always the latter has an unspoken inclination towards the former.
Didn't we see Ajay Jadeja, Sidhu trying for find space in the already crowded silver screens..??
Of course they follow same suit.. If it was the turn of the bollywood hotties to walk the ramp in the F weeks, the cricketers did follow the same with much of a blush than a smile..
So i guess by default the Bollywood has an upper hand over it's rival.. and i don't think i would be a worthy competition ..
May be they could contend on their prowess in better "crow-pullers" among the two :).. - March 16, 2009 at 6:52 PM

Watch This Series of Goose Attacks — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5011177"]
Lions, for example, are highly territorial beasts; most people seem well aware of this. But as it turns out, geese will defend their turf as well—and quite aggressively at times.
People and geese share much of the same land, and from time to time this will bring them into conflict. At least that's the way the geese appear to see it. Have a cracker, do you? Well, now that cracker belongs to Head Goose In Charge, so hand it over. That, or face the feathered fury, friend.
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.

I am always doing something arty. Since I don't take normal life too seriously I do take making art very seriously. I live in a house of artists and musicians which rules and I know a lot of hardworking motherfuckers who seek the spirit through art. I cook big heavy meals that make you go uugh...and watch total garbage horror movies. Ride a bike. Read tarot and bathe in milk...
Because Fecal Face is awesome and always treated me well and I am a loyal leo. I did a solo show at FF's Low Gallery a few years back which was a blast and I was given the free reign and ever since then Fecal Face has had a place in my heart. I met a lot of great folks through that connection...
I don't know enough about Texas to have a real opinion except that I dated a couple of cuties from there. I have always been a fan of the music scene out of Austin scratch acid, Ed Hall, The Butthole Surfers were one of my all time favorite bands back in the day and I took a shit load of acid at their shows. Also I met Tim Kerr when he did a show at Needles and Pens, and that dude is rad.
Life is awesome as far as art stuff. Our band Pale Hoarse is having a limited edition vinyl release party at ATA on the 18th of Jan. Chris Duncan did the art and it looks fucking awsome. Only 100 copies areavailable. Then I am going to London to do a show at 96 Gillespie. Andrew Scott from Needles and Pens set it up. Me, Zara Thustra, Paul Urich, Chris Duncan, Monica Canilao, Mat Obrian. Monica and I are working on a collaborative piece that's so fucking rad. I am psyched as hell on it. From there I am going to Brussels to do a show with Maya Hayuk. There will be other artists some of whom you know in that show as well but the official list ain't out yet. Maya is a very old friend of mine from back in the Baltimore days. I am also working on a book with Daniel Higgs which is gonna be fucking amazing. He is also an old friend from Baltimore. Let's see...Then in July I am in a show at Gregory Lind gallery then in August Monica asked me to do a show with her at 1026 in Philly. So this year is already pretty fucking packed with stuff. Life is fucking psychotically rad at the moment...
After party @Scoot Inn with bands Steak Fingaz and Total Abuse. 10-4am

Motorboats - Outboard
PT Skiff
The PT skiff is a very fuel efficient center console runabout that is good looking, has good handling, can carry a load, and is incredibly quick with only 20 horsepower. The hull shape of the PT skiff was studied with the most advanced design tools seeking all around utility with maximum fuel efficiency while being able to perform well under various speeds, loads and conditions.It goes about 22 knots lightly loaded and does over 16 knots with four people and gear and it feels like a rocket with only 20 horsepower.It handles rough water very well compared to wider, flatter skiffs.Water ballast is a feature of this boat. It adds stability when at the dock, and makes the boat ride better in rough weather.Other design features help this boat travel comfortably through rough water: High freeboard, side decks and lots of flare in the topsides.The kit is cut from 12 sheets of LLoyds approved BS 1088 Okoume plywood. There are 120+ separate pieces from plywood in this boat, but they go together quickly and fit perfectly.Sample a Customer Review: "I know I can see/feel a good boat design when I see it, but your kit continues to amaze me. The panels line up sub-millimetre perfect with tight joins between hull panels, frames locating perfectly on chines and alignment notches, and chine angle changes spot on the hull panel edges. Sure, from time to time I need to file a millimetre or so off a tongue where the router hasn't been able to "square" the corner. This is a quality kit. I knew from the photographs I had seen and the very small hull line drawings that the PT Skiff was a nice boat, but getting to the point where I can see the curves of the panels has blown me away. This is a gorgeous boat. It is easy to see why it planes so well, and I can see the heritage of the boat in its lines. It is definitely a skiff." B.O. AUSTRALIA October 2012

Tanna of My Kitchen in Half Cups is the hostess of this month's Daring Bakers's challenge. She chose this wonderful and flavorful Tender Potato Bread from Home Baking: The Artful Mix of Flour and Tradition Around the World, by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid. You can find the recipe on Tanna's site and at the bottom of this post.
Be sure to check out the other Daring Baker's to read their stories and see their creativity with the Tender Potato Bread by visiting the Daring Baker Blogroll here.
Tender Potato Bread
(from Home Baking: The Artful Mix of Flour & Tradition Around the World by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid; who also wrote Hot Sour Salty Sweet)
Daring Bakers Challenge #13: November 2007
Host: Tanna (My Kitchen in Half Cups)
Post Date: Monday, November 26
Makes 1 large tender-crumbed pan loaf AND something more; one 10X15 inch crusty yet tender foccacia, 12 soft dinner rolls, or a small pan loaf
Suggested Toppings:
For Loaves and Rolls: melted butter (optional)
For Foccacia: olive oil, coarse salt, and rosemary leaves (optional; also see variation)
For Anchovy-Onion Focaccia: Instead of oil, salt, and rosemary, top with onions slow-cooked in olive oil or bacon fat, a scattering of chopped anchovy fillets, and flat-leafed parsley leaves.
Alternate fillings, seasons, shapes are up to you.
Some additional notes about this challenge, recipe and the dough:
If you are new to bread and already your whisks are shaking (or is that your boots), you may bake the bread (or one of it's variations) just as written.
There are no pictures. I give you the recipe. I cannot give you a photo or drawing of the recipe because that part is yours. That being said there are lots of pictures of other bread recipes that will provide great ideas for you if you decide to unleash that aspect of this recipe.
Potatoes and potato water give this bread wonderful flavor and texture. The dough is very soft and moist and might feel a little scary if you've never handled soft dough before. But don't worry: Leaving it on parchment or wax paper to proof and to bake makes it easy to handle.
Once baked, the crumb is tender and airy, with tiny soft pieces of potato in it and a fine flecking of whole wheat. The loaves have a fabulous crisp texture on the outside and a slightly flat-topped shape. They make great toast and tender yet strong sliced bread for sandwiches. The dinner rolls are soft and inviting, and the focaccia is memorable.
I have chosen this recipe because it gives directions for different ways of shaping the dough and provides oven times and temperatures for those variations.
Some Notes about Flour:
King Arthur Artisan Organic All-Purpose Flour is fairly new in the markets in the US now and is advertised to be best for making European-style hearth breads with a protein level of 11.3%
Conversion Chart for yeast:
1 oz/ 1 Tablespoon of fresh yeast = 0.4 oz/ 1.25 teaspoon active or instant dry yeast = 0.33 oz / 1 teaspoon instant or rapid rise (bread machine) yeast. Reference: Crust & Crumb by Peter Reinhart
Link to online conversion chart for converting recipes from Imperial to Metric: Cooking Conversion Online (http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/cooking)
Remember, being a Daring Baker is about trying new recipes, techniques and taking risks. It's reaching just beyond your comfort zone.
This is a Daring Baker Challenge, not a contest and not a competition because at its heart and soul is support and sharing the how to of the baking we do.
Challenge Recipe:
Metric measurements are from the European edition. Thank you Linda (Linda.kovacevic.nl) from Make Life Sweeter
4 medium to large floury (baking) potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks.
Tanna Note: For the beginner bread baker I suggest no more than 8 ounces of potato; for the more advanced no more than 16 ounces. The variety of potatoes you might want to use would include Idaho, Russet & Yukon gold, there are others.
4 cups(950 ml) water, reserve cooking water
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
6 ½ cups to 8 ½ cups (1 kg to 1350g) unbleached all-purpose
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (130g) whole wheat flour
Making the Dough (Directions will be for making by hand):
Put the potatoes and 4 cups water in a sauce pan and bring to boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt and cook, half covered, until the potatoes are very tender.
Drain the potatoes, SAVE THE POTATO WATER, and mash the potatoes well. Tanna Note: I have a food mill I will run my potatoes through to mash them.
Measure out 3 cups(750ml) of the reserved potato water. Add extra water if needed to make 3 cups. Place the water and mashed potatoes in the bowl you plan to mix the bread dough in. Let cool to lukewarm (70-80°F/21 - 29°C) – stir well before testing the temperature – it should feel barely warm to your hand. You should be able to submerge you hand in the mix and not be uncomfortable.
Add yeast to 2 cups all-purpose flour and whisk. Add yeast and flour to the cooled mashed potatoes & water and mix well. Allow to rest/sit 5 minutes.
Note about Adding Yeast: If using Active Dry Yeast or Fresh yeast, mix & stir yeast into cooled water and mashed potatoes & water and let stand 5 minutes. Then add 2 cups of flour to the yeast mix and allow to rest several minutes. If using Instant Dry Yeast, add yeast to 2 cups all-purpose flour and whisk. Add yeast and flour to the cooled mashed potatoes & water and mix well. Allow to rest/sit 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the remaining 1 tablespoon salt and the softened butter; mix well. Add the 1 cup whole wheat flour, stir briefly.
Add 2 cups of the unbleached all-purpose flour and stir until all the flour has been incorporated.
Tanna Note: At this point you have used 4 cups of the possible 8 ½ cups suggested by the recipe.
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, incorporating flour as needed to prevent sticking. The dough will be very sticky to begin with, but as it takes up more flour from the kneading surface, it will become easier to handle; use a dough scraper to keep your surface clean. The kneaded dough will still be very soft. Place the dough in a large clean bowl or your rising container of choice, cover with plastic wrap or lid, and let rise about 2 hours or until doubled in volume.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead gently several minutes. It will be moist and a little sticky.
Forming the Bread:
Tanna Note: It is at this point you are requested to Unleash the Daring Baker within. The following is as the recipe is written. You are now free to follow as written or push it to a new level.
Divide the dough into 2 unequal pieces in a proportion of one-third and two-thirds (one will be twice as large as the other). Place the smaller piece to one side and cover loosely.
To shape the large loaf:
Butter a 9 x 5 x 2.5 inch loaf/bread pan. Flatten the larger piece of dough on the floured surface to an approximate 12 x 8 inch oval, then roll it up from a narrow end to form a loaf. Pinch the seam closed and gently place seam side down in the buttered pan. The dough should come about three-quarters of the way up the sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 35 to 45 minutes, until puffy and almost doubled in volume.
To make a small loaf with the remainder:
Butter an 8x4X2 inch bread pan. Shape and proof the loaf the same way as the large loaf.
To make rolls:
Butter a 13 x 9 inch sheet cake pan or a shallow cake pan. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball under the palm of your floured hand and place on the baking sheet, leaving 1/2 inch between the balls. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about 35 minutes, until puffy and almost doubled.
To make focaccia:
Flatten out the dough to a rectangle about 10 x 15 inches with your palms and fingertips. Tear off a piece of parchment paper or wax paper a little longer than the dough and dust it generously with flour. Transfer the focaccia to the paper. Brush the top of the dough generously with olive oil, sprinkle on a little coarse sea salt, as well as some rosemary leaves, if you wish and then finally dimple all over with your fingertips. Cover with plastic and let rise for 20 minutes.
Baking the bread(s):
Note about baking order: bake the flat-bread before you bake the loaf; bake the rolls at the same time as the loaf.
Note about Baking Temps: I believe that 450°F(230°C) is going to prove to be too hot for the either the large or small loaf of bread for the entire 40/50 minutes. I am going to put the loaves in at 450°(230°C) for 10 minutes and then turn the oven down to 375°F (190 °C) for the remaining time.
Note about cooling times: Let all the breads cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Rolls can be served warm or at room temperature.
For loaves and rolls:
Dust risen loaves and rolls with a little all-purpose flour or lightly brush the tops with a little melted butter or olive oil (the butter will give a golden/browned crust). Slash loaves crosswise two or three times with a razor blade or very sharp knife and immediately place on the stone, tiles or baking sheet in the oven. Place the rolls next to the loaf in the oven.
Bake rolls until golden, about 30 minutes. Bake the small loaf for about 40 minutes. Bake the large loaf for about 50 minutes.
Transfer the rolls to a rack when done to cool. When the loaf or loaves have baked for the specified time, remove from the pans and place back on the stone, tiles or baking sheet for another 5 to 10 minutes. The corners should be firm when pinched and the bread should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
For foccaia:
Place a baking stone or unglazed quarry tiles, if you have them, if not use a no edged baking/sheet (you want to be able to slide the shaped dough on the parchment paper onto the stone or baking sheet and an edge complicates things). Place the stone or cookie sheet on a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450°F/230°C.
If making foccacia, just before baking, dimple the bread all over again with your fingertips. Leaving it on the paper, transfer to the hot baking stone, tiles or baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack (remove paper) and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

Steven Rattner, the Wall Street financier who oversaw the Obama Administration's successful rescues of General Motors and Chrysler, now comes to the aid of some other beleaguered members of corporate America — Mitt Romney in his former role as a private-equity CEO, and Bain Capital, the company the Republican presidential candidate once ran.
In a Politico opinion piece, former "car czar" Rattner defends Romney and Bain which he says was among the better angels in the world of private-equity firms.
In a defense from which Romney will definitely need to selectively quote since the New York financier aims a few darts at him, Rattner writes:
"I'm all in favor of piling on Mitt Romney for any number of reasons: his come lately embrace of hard right conservatism, his periodic malapropisms ("I like being able to fire people") and above all, the nonchalance with which he displays a dazzling shortage of principles by incessantly flip-flopping on issues, sometimes the same day.
"But these latest salvos being fired at his service as the founder and head of Bain Capital go too far. Having spent nearly three decades on Wall Street, when it comes to Bain Capital, I feel equipped — some might say too equipped — to parse fact from fiction. (Full disclosure: In the post-Romney era, I worked with Bain Capital on several projects...)
"...I have no idea whether Bain Capital created 100,000 net new jobs, and I think Romney was silly to even engage in that debate. What we know for certain is that Bain Capital more than fulfilled its responsibility to a gaggle of investors, who were mostly foundations, endowments, pension funds and the like."
Rattner's defense of Romney and Bain is noteworthy because after the Republican front-runner's GOP rivals are done with attacking his Bain years, Democrats are waiting in line to do the same.
But Rattner is a Democrat whose wife, Maureen White, is not only a past finance chair of the Democratic National Committee, and finance co-chair for Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign but an advisor to the State Department on humanitarian affairs. So he has some fairly potent Democratic bona fides.
Rattner demonstrates that not only are Republicans divided when it comes to how capitalism operates; Democrats are too.
Thus, any effort by Democratic operatives to demonize Bain by lumping it into the corporate-predator category is likely to inflame some of the party's richest contributors who have either worked for or with Bain or, like Rattner, see it as one of the Wall Street's better corporate citizens.

Committees Fined for Filing Reports Late
For Immediate Release November 23, 2005 |
Contact: | Kelly Huff Bob Biersack Ian Stirton George Smaragdis |
WASHINGTON --The Federal Election Commission is releasing 4 more Administrative Fines cases with $4,911 in civil money penalties, bringing to 1,229 the number of cases made public with $1,651,833 in fines collected by the FEC. In addition, there are numerous cases in various stages of the Administrative Fines process. Closed Administrative Fines case files are available in the FEC''''s Press and Public Records offices. The Administrative Fine Program, authorized by Congress in 1999 in response to a legislative recommendation made by the FEC (see News Release May 31, 2000 ), has a twofold purpose: to free critical Commission resources for more important and complex enforcement efforts, and to reduce the number of financial reports filed late or not at all. The Administrative Fines Program encompasses a range of civil money penalties set high enough to discourage committees from considering them an acceptable 'cost of doing business'''', but not so high as to be exorbitant. Civil money penalties will be determined by the number of days late, the amount of financial activity involved, and any prior penalties for reporting violations. Election sensitive reports (reports and notices filed prior to an election) will receive higher penalties. CANDIDATE COMMITTEES
*Late filers are those committees filing reports after the due date, but within 30 days of the due date and/or filing election sensitive reports after due date, but prior to four days before election. Non-filers are committees that have either not filed a report or filed a report after the parameters outlined above. ### |

Yesterday, I went to my Me-Maw's for a Christmas lunch with my mom's side of the family. I brought the Peppermint Chocolate Cupcakes from Pudge-Free Holidays by Happy Herbivore:
I was a little scared to make cupcakes without oil, but they turned out great. They totally didn't taste low-fat, and my family loved them. They were super-duper minty because I subbed Vitasoy Chocolate Peppermint soy milk in place of the regular chocolate milk in the recipe.
Last night, I made a batch of Pecan Pie Truffles from VegNews to give out with my Xmas gifts:
Sorry for the crappy photo. My borrowed digital camera wouldn't focus for some reason, even though I used the close-up feature. It doesn't have the option of manual focus. These are phenomenal though! They only have a few ingredients — pecans (I used local ones from my uncle's farm), bourbon, brown sugar, maple syrup and graham cracker crumbs. My chocolate shell isn't as pretty as it could be, but hey, it was my first time making truffles.
Finally, I made the Fruitcake Muffins from VegNews to bring to a Solstice potluck tonight (before opening the gifts with the pets):
Wow! I love these! They're made with whole wheat pastry flour and no sugar. The only sweetener is maple syrup and they're chock full of dried fruit, walnuts, and pecans. I had a few leftover, so I know what I'm having for breakfast.

We were about to jump in a cab last night to leave an art opening to make another. Alan Bamberger offered us a ride so... we took the opportunity to ask him a few questions.
Alan, through his website artbusiness.com, attends almost every art opening that goes down in San Francisco. Like 10 in one night, he's zipping across town to cover everything that's opening. From the greatest shows to the shittest, he's there snapping away. He's not human. We have no idea he does it. How does he stomach it all? We asked.

All business is risk vs. reward, and the financial planning process will help you assess both. Having a financial plan will not only help guide business development decisions and monitor results, but it will also help you match your business concept with personal income goals. In addition, the financial plan can be used as a budget and can be compared to actual results in the future.
In this module of the "Simple Steps for Starting Your Business" program, you'll learn the importance of financial planning.
You will learn how to build your financial model, and how to understand financial statements, including an income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet.
"Simple Steps for Starting Your Business" helps you test the feasibility of your idea and decide whether or not you should move forward with your business or go back to the drawing board. You'll do this by researching industry profile data, customer data, financial projections, and more. You'll also have a sample feasibility plan to use as a guide.
Have you skipped a module in this course?
You should also contact your local chapter and determine if the in-person workshops are available in your community. At these local workshops, you will have the opportunity to learn from local experts, connect with your personal mentor for free answers to your business questions, and meet other aspiring small business owners.
And don't forget to download the "Simple Steps for Starting Your Business" workbook for more startup information.

In the homebuying process, if you find yourself in the enviable position of having more cash than needed for a minimum down payment, it may be difficult to know just how much you should put down. A larger down payment can bring plenty of benefits, but is it always best to contribute the biggest down payment possible?
First, remember that every loan program has its own down payment requirements. FHA loans for example require a minimum of 3.5% while jumbo loans will require at least 10%. To get a conventional loan without PMI you'll need 20%. USDA and VA, by contrast, do not require any down payment at all. Part of your decision will be based on which loan program fits your needs.
Because there are many pros and cons on both sides of the issues, ultimately, the size of your down payment should be determined by your overall financial goals, your current level of savings, and your tolerance for risk.
Call us today at 877-781-7788 for a no-obligation analysis and discussion of your mortgage goals.

Do you know how hard it is to find an appropriate, as well as personalized, holiday card for law enforcement to send to staff and other agencies? For the third year in a row, Barbara has created the holiday card for the Sheriff Roberts. This year's card is as wonderful as previous years. Thank you again for your willingness to go above and beyond in sharing your creative talents. Blessings and Hugs, Mary

To book your Viking appliance repair in Fareham is easy peasy. Simply click on the "Get A Quote" button on the home page and fill out your details. You have an option to choose from either a fixed price appliance repair or labour only appliance repair. You can even choose the date of your repair visit and also an AM or PM visit. The choice is yours!
Why Choose Marchwood Appliance Repairs For Your Viking Appliance Repair In Fareham?
Viking repairs in Fareham from Marchwood Appliance Repairs are easy to book, cost-effective and most importantly flexible to suite you. The most important thing to know is that all our domestic appliance engineers are locally based to you, have local knowledge and can quickly return to you if parts are needed to be ordered or another appliance fault arises even on another appliance. Most of our domestic appliance engineers are employed directly with us but in areas where we do not have this cover we use a local appliance engineer that has been carefully chosen and vetted by us before hand. This also keeps your bill down compared to national manufactures charges who can charge you up to double the cost on certain appliance repairs. Great for landlords and letting agents who have multiple addresses in Fareham. You can't beat a local yokel!
Peace of Mind for your Viking Appliance Repair in Fareham
We are a large national domestic appliance repair company established in 2004 and therefore come with all the usual insurances, guarantees and accreditations that you would expect and may not get from other smaller appliance company's or one man bands. Our domestic appliance engineers are all qualified and fully insured. We are now one of the South's leading independent domestic appliance repair specialist. You can choose from one of our domestic appliance fixed price or labour only Viking repairs to include call out, evaluation, safety check, report and if selected all parts. You can book a service call with us safe in the knowledge that there are no hidden charges if you choose a fixed price or labour only Viking appliance repair plus all our appliance repairs are covered by a 90 day guarantee. Peace of mind!
Good Service for your Viking Appliance Repair in Fareham
We can normally get you a domestic Viking appliance engineer by the following day or in some cases the same day especially if the repair is an emergency. If you're not in a rush or can only be at home on certain days then just choose and book your desired date. You can then decide on an AM or PM appointment so you're not tied to the house all day. Landlords and letting agents can if desired arrange to meet the appliance engineer on site or in some cases have the engineer collect the key and drop it back to you. Now that's good service!
We cover nearly the whole of the South and repair nearly every make, model and type of domestic appliance. Versatility!
Choose a Fixed Price or Labour Charge for your Viking Appliance Repair in Fareham
We offer you a choice of either a one off charge fixed price appliance repair to include all labour and parts or our cheaper standard labour charge repair if you consider your appliance may not need parts. It's your choice!
A full report will be left with you by the engineer once the call is complete and this will include any advisories on the condition of the appliance letting you make a more informed decision on whether to repair or replace the appliance if it does break down again. Documentation across the nation!
Booking a call could not be easier. Simply fill in the 3 easy step process on the home page of our web site where you will then be given your fixed price repair quote and a labour only quote. You then choose which one suits you best and the then complete the booking form. That's it, your service repair call is booked. Easy peasy!

Alternatively please email us () your request details and we will email you back or if you give us your telephone number then we will call you back. No call centre here!
We would not recommend any unqualified or inexperienced person to attempt to repair on any domestic appliance due to the risk of shock, injury, flooding, fire, explosion and most importantly death but we do understand the general public do try and fix their own appliances from time to time so our phone advice service offers not only repair tips but vital safety advise which we hope reduces the amount of home accidents. We do not offer any advice on gas work as only a fully qualified and trained "gas safe" engineer should be doing this work. Please be careful. If in doubt, leave it to the professionals!

FRITH, FRED: Allies
Reissue of the 1989 dance music album, with Joey Baron, Tom Cora and George Cartwright. One of Fred's open field type compositions - where parallel events proceed serenely, coinciding half-unpredictably, but still often enough to sound connected. There is continuity in modular repetition but so many overlays, small alterations, emergent details and new material that the sonic terrain they invoke is constantly mutating and constantly unpredictable (even after several auditions). Continuity is here irregularly interrupted by disruptive events, always settling back into semi-stable planes. Re-mastered and repackaged.

This week on the podcast we're discussing Facebook's new graph search, how to survive natural disasters, and how to microwave food without ruining it. We're also answering your questions about using multiple calendars, learning guitar online, and much more.
How to Listen to This Week's Episode
Here's how you can listen to our episode:
Download the MP3 directly.
Just listen to it in the Souncloud player below.
You can also watch a recording of the live, unedited broadcast on YouTube.
News and Top Stories
Facebook Announces Graph Search: Facebook created a new search to help you connect with friends who have similar interests or get recommendations for restaurants, doctors, and other things your friends like. Some say it's going to be a major competitor to Google and Yelp, but we don't agree.
Facebook Messenger Makes Free Calls to Any Facebook Friend on Your iPhone: Facebook Messenger can now make VOIP calls to other iPhones (or iDevices) with Facebook Messenger. That's kind of limited, but all your friends have iPhone and use Facebook Messenger it might be moderately useful.
Build Your Own Adobe Creative Suite with Free and Cheap Software: Adobe's Creative Suite is one of the best software packs out there for professionals, but the suite is prohibitively expensive for most people. If you can't drop the cash, you can still get a similar experience with free or cheap software.
The Complete Guide to What To Do Before, During, and After a Disaster: Do you know how to actually protect yourself during an earthquake or hurricane? What about a tornado or fire? You've probably heard lots of conflicting information over the years. We hope you won't ever need it, but this start-to-finish guide to handling disasters will help you remember what you should really do during an emergency and afterwards to recover as quickly as possible.
How to Microwave Food Without Ruining It: Microwaved food often ends up soggy and unevenly heated. Fortunately, you can fix that problem (somewhat) with a few tricks.
Questions and Answers
Each week we answer five questions from readers and listeners. Here's what we tackled this week.
My desk doesn't have a computer shelf. Can I put my computer on the floor? How do I manage cables? Try any of these methods for managing cables. You can put your computer on the floor if you have hardwood floors, but generally something between your computer and the floor is a good idea. You can just buy a shelf and screw in some wheels to do the trick (just make sure the two back wheels can lock) or buy a computer cart/caddy/platform. You can find them at The Container Store (sometimes), but there are several cheap options online (like the Syba SY-ACC65010, Allsop Metal Art CPU Caddy, and the Antec LanBoard Portable Computer Cart). Alternatively you can do what Alan used to and Whitson currently does: stick your computer on top of your desk.
What's the best calendar app for multiple people so you can share schedules? The only two we know of that allow you to take multiple calendars and schedule appointments between them are Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar. Outlook's been great at scheduling between many people for years, and Google added this feature recently.
How do I get better cellphone reception in a high-traffic area like a football game or concert? There really isn't a good way to avoid this because it isn't an issue of reception so much as it's an issue of limited spectrum and a potentially overloaded cell tower. What you can attempt to do is turn off LTE (or even 3G) data and go to a slower network. This may help you get access when the network is overburdened. If you happen to have a hotspot on another network, however, you may have better luck using that. Obviously that isn't a cost-efficient method, but sometimes when I don't have AT&T reception I can use my WiMax hotspot to get access (as nobody really uses WiMax).
Do you have any good online resources to learn to play the guitar? You can search YouTube and find tons of lessons, some of which we've mentioned in this post. Soundslice teaches you actual songs, which is really the best way to learn (from what we've heard, as it provides a good goal and teaches you something you can actually play). Alan says Guitar World offers music with tabs so you can learn a few songs. You can also find tabs online through search. If you can't find tabs for the song you want, nickgrooves on Fiverr will make some for you for $5. Finally, if you have a Mac, you can buy lessons through Garageband.
Can I buy a rooted Kindle or Nook? Apparently yes, you can! We found both rooting services and pre-rooted devices on Craigslist. Chances are you'll find them on eBay and other marketplaces as well.

How Do I Submit a Question?
There are three ways to send in your question:
Call (347) 687-8109 and record a question. Calls are awesome! We like them!
Email your question to [email protected].
Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!

One of the most popular Shani Temples in India is located at Thirunallar near Karaikal a part of Union Territory Pondicherry. There is a misconception that this Shani Shrine, or Saturn temple, is located in Tamil Nadu. The greatness of the Thirunallur temple is attributed to the unique idol of Lord Shani as he stands blessing the devotee – abhayahastham. This is a very rare phenomenon and therefore thousands of devotees who believe they are badly affected by Shani visit the shrine to get his blessings.
The exact name of the Shani Temple at Thirunallar is Sri Dharbaraneswara Swamy Devasthanam and it is also referred as Saneeswara Bhagavan Temple . The main temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. But the Shani Shrine has become more popular than the main temple primarily due to belief of devotees that by praying at the shrine will make Shani happy and thereby all the miseries and hardship are removed.
Legend has it that Lord Nala mentioned in the Epics and Puranas was relieved of all sufferings after praying at this shrine.
Believed to have been built in the 7th century, the temple also has small shrines dedicated to other gods including Lord Ganesha.
Nearest Railway Station to Thirunallar Shani Temple is the Mayiladuthurai Railway Station.

- City Fajr Shuruq Duhr Asr Magrib Isha
- Dubai 04:36 05:52 12:21 15:49 18:45 20:02
Emirates airline announced on Monday that it is increasing its commitment to Japan with the launch of daily, non-stop flights between Dubai and Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) on June 3, 2013.
Haneda Airport is located in Ota-ku, Tokyo and handles the majority of domestic flights to and from Tokyo; it opened its doors to international carriers following the opening of the fourth runway and the international terminal in October 2010.
Haneda, which will become Emirates' 131st destination, is currently ranked as the second busiest airport in Asia.
Operated by a three-class Boeing 777-200LR, EK312 will depart Dubai at 0935hrs and arrive at Haneda Airport at 0001hrs the following day. The return flight, EK313 will depart at 0130hrs and arrive at Dubai International Airport at 0705hrs.
"As Emirates' third gateway in Japan, the Dubai to Haneda route will help to build on the vibrant relationship between the United Arab Emirates and Japan, in terms of trade and increasing the opportunities for business and tourism," said Thierry Antinori, Emirates Executive Vice President, Passenger Sales Worldwide.
"Emirates has been operating to Japan since 2002 when we introduced non-stop flights to Osaka; our commitment continued when we launched flights to Narita International Airport in 2010. We are confident that the demand in terms of both passengers and cargo is strong enough to warrant Emirates operating non-stop, daily flights to both of Tokyo's airports, offering our passengers more flexibility on the route to Dubai and onwards to over 70 destinations in the Indian Ocean, Middle East, Africa and Europe," added Antinori.
Emirates' longstanding partnership with Japan Airlines will be expanded to include a code share on the new Dubai-Haneda-Dubai services. The flights will be identified with the Emirates 'EK' code as well as with Japan Airlines 'JL' code.
With the new daily flight to Haneda, Emirates SkyCargo is able to provide an additional 210 tonnes of cargo capacity per week, further supporting Japanese exports of mechanical components, electronic goods and automobile parts, and its imports of gas and oil products. Dubai is an important hub for the re-export of Japanese manufactured products to the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia.
Passengers will enjoy unrivalled comfort and amenities on board Emirates' Boeing 777-200LR which is equipped with eight luxurious private suites in First Class, 42 of its latest lie-flat seats in Business Class, and generous space for 216 passengers in Economy Class, along with gourmet cuisine in all cabins which has been tailored to Japanese passengers, served by Emirates' multinational cabin crew.
The aircraft also features ice, Emirates' award-winning inflight entertainment system which offers over 1,400 channels of movies, TV and game entertainment on demand, which includes 40 Japanese channels With a fleet of 196 aircraft, Emirates now flies to 128 destinations, having launched services to 15 destinations in 2012, Warsaw and Algiers are set to join the network this year on 6th February and 1st March respectively.
