Why choose a vacation destination and stay for a week or two, when cruising allows a traveler to move from place to place without the stress or hassle of arranging local transportation? There are stunning cruising destinations all over the world (too many to name), including some of the best Fred Olsen cruises that take travelers to remote and beautiful destinations all over the globe. Below are a few popular cruising destinations.
Milford Sound, New Zealand

Milford Sound is a fiord in New Zealand's south island carved by glaciers during the Ice Age and boasts some of the most stunning landscapes on earth. Though one of the rainiest places in the world (it rains 200 days a year), the threat of a bit of water should not stop you from visiting this amazing place. Mountains climb right out of the ocean and seals, dolphins and whales inhabit the waters. Because of the rain, Milford Sound is filled with lush flora and fauna and glows in an otherworldly green and waterfalls tumble with ferocity straight over rocky cliffs. Writer Rudyard Kipling called Milford Sound the "eighth wonder of the world," and you may just leave this beautiful place feeling the same way.
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
There are few places in the world as biologically diverse as the Galapagos Islands, named for the giant tortoises that occupied the islands. Over 1,900 unique species live here. When Charles Darwin visited in 1835 he noted small differences in similar species from island to island and this eventually informed his theory of evolution. From penguins to blue footed boobies, large lizards languishing lazily in the sun to sea lions (called the "golden retrievers of the Galapagos") flopped on white sand beaches; visitors today are impressed by the abundant wildlife. The isolated location of the islands, as well as the tight regulations, has kept the Galapagos pristine. Cruisers hop from island to island, and a new treasure awaits them each time they land.
Costa Rica
Travelers looking for a mix of stunning mountain hikes and pristine laid-back beaches, diverse wildlife and friendly and welcoming local people need to look no further than Costa Rica. This Central American gem prides itself on attracting people from all over the world to enjoy their "ecotourism," because in Costa Rica the natural world is the main attraction. World famous natural wonders like the Monteverde Cloud Forest, world-renowned hot springs, active volcanoes and mangrove swamps will keep the adventurous visitor busy for days. Those that want to dip their toes in beautiful beaches will find what they want in Costa Rica too, as the country has beaches on both the Caribbean and Pacific waters.
Alaska, USA
There is something nearly mythical about Alaska, a remote and sparsely populated US state home to bears, bald eagles and spawning salmon. Cruising Alaska is a joy for wildlife and nature lovers, as cruisers can take in snowcapped mountains and towering Sitka Spruces from the deck of the ship as well as catch a glimpse of whales (and perhaps even spot a Kodiak bear on the shoreline). Stops in small towns like Homer (considered an art hub) or Anchorage (Alaska's largest city) give the visitor a good mix of culture and nature, but its truly the natural world that will hold on to the traveler long after she has returned home.

Showers and storms will continue to move across New Mexico until late this evening. A weather system continues to move through the region and this is triggering the scattered storms today, which some of them have been severe in parts of Socorro and Sierra Counties this afternoon. New Mexico will be left with some clouds and cool temperatures overnight once the storms fizzle out. Drier air moves in for Monday, this dry air will help boost our temperatures back above average for this time of the year. Temps will be closing in on 80° by Tuesday. Another cold front will then roll into eastern New Mexico by Thursday. This front will drop temperatures for the end of the week and it could spark some showers across the Central Mountain Chain on Thursday.

I always had a genuine interest in guys' clothes. Growing up, I wouldn't be caught dead in a dress. Somewhere down the line, the likes of MM6 and my new-found love for Scandinavian minimalism have altered this a bit. But each and every morning I just stare at my kicks and realize : I am a tomboy at heart. And menswear will always have a special place in that heart.
From Nike Dunks to Reebok tracksuits
My first real introduction to men's clothes (and streetwear) came courtesy of being a bit of an outcast back in high school. It was basically just me and my baby blue iPod mini. During lunch I read anything from The Source (those over the top covers!) to l'Officiel (Those dreamy Parisian editorials!). And I rocked Nike dunks and Reebok tracksuits to every class. That was about it really, at least when it came to my sense of fashion.
Following those years, the interest blossomed into an enthusiasm for the stories behind those garments. And the respective brands and designers sharing these stories. Now, I'm just as likely to cop a dude's T-shirt as I am to check through the women's section. And I feel like I'm not alone.
From exploring to borrowing
Women have been exploring/borrowing their boyfriends' clothes for years. Let's take it back, waaay back : As early as the 1930s, actress Marlene Dietrich had a well-known love of menswear that she proudly flaunted. Katharine Hepburn wore pants when doing so was still considered a taboo. In addition to these iconic figures who preferred tailored clothing, the torch was later carried on by girls like Aaliyah. They made the baggy jeans and cropped top combo look so perfect that it became a signature style.
More recently, women like Rita Ora, (who now frequently collaborates with Adidas) and Vashtie, (responsible for giving Puma that cool kid factor) and Rihanna, (also currently designing collections with Puma) have also adopted tomboy styles. And frankly, these styles are the ones I can definitely identify with and take inspiration from on a daily basis.
From Kim to Kanye
That being said, it isn't always easy being a girl who's into menswear. While some guys don't mind, or even favor girls who'd probably rock their clothes better than they would. There are still some who certainly prefer the societal norm. (Booo!) Girls coming close to their sacred menswear departments… must be frightening, right? Here's the thing: Phuck dat.
So hereby my little ode to the girls with beat faces and messy hair, getting shit done, in hoodies. Whose style is a direct reflection of their personality and interests. You simply can't blame a girl for just don't being someone who's born with a natural soft demeanor or a love for everything "Keeping Up With The Kardashians". Frankly, I'm much more interested in what Kanye's going to do next with Adidas. (Or am I the only one who thinks that what he's been showing is kinda repetitive?)
From Barbados to Vogue
But anyway… So what is it about men's clothes that grab ahold of some women? RiRi described it perfectly when, back in February 2014, she told Vogue: "When I was thirteen or fourteen, I didn't want to wear what my mom wanted me to wear. I was very much a boy in my style, my demeanor. All my friends were guys. I loved things that boys did. I loved being easy with my clothes. I loved wearing hats and scarves and snapbacks on my head. It was my way of rebelling."
From Anglomania to Arte
You see, menswear (and later, the more unisex streetwear) is effortless. Comfy. Laid-back. But with none of the negative implications that those words sometimes carry when put in an all female context. Men's fashion has this certain timeless quality that women's fashion doesn't always seem to have. (Especially if you're looking down the high street.) Don't get me wrong: women's clothes are definitely enjoyable to look at, but frankly, I'm too spoiled. And I just love to have options.
So the moral of the story? I'm always willing to compromise. I might invest in that cute Anglomania dress… But I'm sure as hell rocking that Arte crewneck on top. Oh and without the heels, for sure.

Cover Your Ears! George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words Broadcast
The Pacifica radio station WBAI in New York City broadcast comedian George Carlin's monologue with the soon-to-be famous seven dirty words at 2 p.m. on this day. The seven words were: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits. A parent complained to the FCC after he and his son heard the monologue while driving in the family car. The FCC censured Pacifica, (but chose not to take more drastic action) and held that the words in the monologue were "patently offensive." The Supreme Court upheld the censure and the power of the FCC to ban the seven dirty words, in FCC v. Pacifica Foundation, on July 3, 1978.
The original monologue, "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" is on the 1972 Carlin LP/CD Class Clown. A longer follow-up, "Filthy Words," is on Carlin's next LP/CD Occupation Foole (1973). The transcript is readily available on the web, but you have to listen carefully to the monologue to get the full effect of the words.
Carlin was inspired by comedian Lenny Bruce, who ran afoul of the law on several occasions (including October 4, 1961, November 4, 1964, and December 23, 2003) for his language and his satirical attacks on American hypocrisy regarding race, sex and religion.
In March 2015 the Library of Congress honored George Carlin by placing his Class Clown album, with its famous seven dirty words monologue, on the National Recording Registry, a preserved collection of America's greatest cultural, artistic and historical recordings.

I'm Sam Wiles and I'm here to help. That's what I would say if I ever get another chance to be the first on scene at a car accident (fingers crossed!) But actually, I'm here to help, and not in a way where I need to plug your gushing neck wound but I can't because it's yucky. I'm going to help by writing an internet column! Every month, I'm going to offer something from my life that has helped me, in the hopes that it helps you, the reader!
And in the spirit of introductions, I wanted to share something that has made my life a lot easier: Icebreakers! Or as I like to call them, Get to Know You Games!
If you've ever worked in an office, gone to college, attended summer camp, or had parents with head trauma, then you've probably used a Get to Know You game to introduce yourself to the group. For example, a game I like to play is Desert Island, where you tell the group your name and which five movies you would take with you if you were stranded on a desert island. It's a great ice breaker because it let's everyone know your name, your taste in entertainment, and if someone in your group has island madness. (Hint: It's the person who instead of saying five movies does five screams.) So, below is a list of some GTKYG's (Get to Know You Games) that have really helped me out!
First Letter Have You Ever
This fun game is quick, simple, and perfect for a corporate environment. To initiate, you take the first letter of your first name and you use it to say your name. My name starts with an 'S' so I would say Sam. Then I would ask out loud, "Have you ever strangled anyone to death?" Most people will say no. But, the person who says yes will become very memorable for everyone there. Almost as memorable as the look someone gives you just before they die from strangulation, or so I've heard, because in this game, I'd be a "No, I haven't strangled anyone."
Truth or Dare
Some of you may remember this game from your childhood! Well it's the same game, but now it's with adults you're trying to break the ice with! For those of you not familiar, the game is when one player asks another player to tell the truth, and then when they don't, you dare them to tell the truth. For instance, if I said, "Barb, why did you choose to attend Stanford University?" and then Barb would say, "Because of the business program." Then I would say, "You're a liar! What's the real reason?! I dare you to tell the truth!" and Barb says, "Because I'm sexually attracted to Stanford's tree shaped mascot." And then Barb cries and you won.
Go Back from Whence You Came!
This game is where you sit in a circle, and then the virgin in the group draws a pentagram in black marker on the floor (preferably not carpet, but that will do). Then everyone begins to chant, "Oderint dum metuant! Oderint dum metuant! Oderint dum metuant!" and then by the sixth time, Balthazar the Heinous will rise from the circle and call out each person in the group by name and tell them the day they will die. That way, you get to know everyone's name!
Four Corners
This is a game I learned when I worked at a bank. It's where everyone takes out their credit cards, touches all four corners, and then throws them in a pile in the middle of the circle. Then, a biker in a mask named Fuck takes them and he also takes any cash you have. You're also at gunpoint. I think I like this game because I'll always remember Fuck the biker's name, even though he was wearing a mask!
So next time you're at a new job, or a new school, or an orgy where you weren't part of the planning, remember these fun games! See you next month!

What is neuroticism?
- print Print
- list Cite
Neuroticism is a term that refers to a major personality trait in psychology. Neuroticism is a negative personality trait that is on a continuum whose poles are neuroticism and emotional stability.
People who are neurotic tend to experience very negative emotions. These are people who are likely to feel anxious, to get angry, or to be stressed. They can suffer from such things as hypochondria and depression. These are people on whom negative stimuli have a large effect. They are not good at coping with whatever life throws at them.
Since neuroticism is part of a continuum, different people will have different levels of neuroticism. It is not as if a person is either neurotic or stable. Instead, people's personalities are arrayed on a continuum with varying levels of neuroticism.

I have a secret Internet crush on Havi Brooks. Everything she writes I wish I had written. I have a serious case of Content Envy.
It's all I can do to not steal her stuff. Well, that's not true, I got the "Internet crush" phrase from her because she said she has an Internet crush on Naomi Dunford of Itty Biz, whom I also admire but for other reasons. Naomi swears like I think, only she says those words out loud and writes them on her blog too.
For my series of occassional blog interviews about Content Marketing, I snagged an email exchange with Havi. Not easy, since she's on email sabbatical and I had to go through her assistant "can-do-ologist," Marissa, and then there was her duck Selma, and it's just tough these days getting to these blogging celebrities.
Fortunately I still have some clout in the blogosphere, and it helps that I recently rubbed elbows with Havi at Jen Louden's Writers Spa in Taos, NM.
Are you ready for this? I love Havi's responses, and I hope you do too. It inspires me to write bettah.
Havi Brooks and her duck Selma write about "biggification" (growing the cool thing you do) and "destuckification" (working on the stuff that gets in the way). You can hang out with them on the Fluent Self blog.
1. What does Content Marketing mean to you in your business?
It means not having to sell stuff.
It means getting to play hard to get instead of going out and trying to convince people to like me.
It means being as me (or as me-ish) as I can. Out loud. Regularly.
Ideally while (she types hopefully) still talking about stuff that my Right People will find useful and interesting and pass-around-able.
And it means that my Right People can get access to genius stuff without ever having to buy anything … and that they get even more genius stuff (plus help implementing said genius stuff) should they feel like buying stuff.
2. How are you doing it now?
My duck and I write about five to six posts a week for the Fluent Self blog.
Against the advice of oh, everybody I know, I broke up with my noozletter about a year ago. (full story here.)
And that was pretty much the best thing I ever did. It freed up a lot of stuckified energy, and right after that my blog really took off and then became fairly ridiculously popular. So that was cool.
We also teach a few freebie teleclasses throughout the year.
In terms of kinds of content … I'm fairly non-strategic. But intentionally non-strategic.
Because if I'm not having fun, no one will. And also: if I'm not having fun, I'm not going to be able to keep up with all the posting.
So I pretty much give myself permission to write about anything I feel like writing about. Maybe once a week I'll write something very on-topic or answer a pressing question or something.
It's a bit counter-intuitive, yes. But my sense from my clients and students is that people load themselves up with everyone else's shoulds ("Oh god I need to be writing 'flagship content' and it needs to be 'meaningful' and 'contribute to the conversation').
And they go into total paralysis and stop writing. Or — even worse — they put on the Boring Biggified Expert costume and everybody loses.
So I think it's so much healthier (for you and for your Right People) if you let yourself have more of a good time on your blog or with your noozletter.
3. How does it work for you? How do you know it's working?
Let's see. So last week I announced a course I was teaching. But I didn't really announce it. I just kind of mentioned it in one paragraph hidden in the middle of a blog post.
No promotional emails. No posting about the course. No tweeting about it.
The course completely sold out in less than 24 hours. It was very cool.
So I'm thinking it's working.
4. How isn't it working like it should? What did you expect that didn't happen?
You know, I completely expected that when things got busy I'd just bring people in to write guest posts…
Right. Didn't count on turning into a protective momma hen who can't even imagine letting anyone else write on her blog.
So things are busy. And I travel. For example, in the next month I'm teaching a seminar in North Carolina and a series of workshops in Berlin.
So it means I've been having to learn how to do some strategic planning ahead to not burn out.
Other than that, no complaints.
5. What are you planning to do next in the way of content creation?
Ha! A pirate queen never shares her secrets.
Which is to say, I have no idea.
But I'm sure it will be fabulous.
And ooh, maybe this course I'm teaching on how to make your Right People fall madly in love with you will turn into a product …

Happy Thursday! It's my Friday, I'm heading out of town tonight for a wedding this weekend. I'm one of the bridesmaids and the events start around lunch on Friday! I'm hoping to get a short morning run in before the fun begins! I moved my training schedule around a bit this week to accommodate my wedding weekend. But let's back up, last weekend, I went to a wedding shower and town festival in Southwestern Wisconsin. Thanks to Amanda for letting me link up today!
Two of my closest friends from college grew up in really small towns (ie population: 2,500). We were at my friend's parents house and they had chickens! This meant that I got to have farm fresh cage free eggs on Sunday morning. I was so excited. My friend's dad even showed us the chicken coop and left the eggs for us to collect on Sunday morning. We made a college friend staple for Sunday breakfast, "Egg in a hole". I've seen this called many other things, but it's an over easy egg in a piece of bread. Runny yolk with bread is the best weekend breakfast ever.
If it were up to me, I would be eating farm fresh local food at all times and I would always know about the source of my food. But I do live in a one bedroom apartment in the city of Denver. Oh and I have a full time job in accounting. So… needless to say I don't eat farm fresh at all times, not even most of the time. I wanted to share some tips about eating farm fresh with you!
Farm Fresh Tips
- Join a CSA, this might be a good option for you and your family
- Farmers markets
- Try to shop at local grocery stores, or the local section of chain grocery stores
- See if you go pick berries or apples at a local farm
- Look for local fresh berries in the woods (we used to do this in northern MN)
Do you try to eat local? Do you have any tips for me?

The corporation announced Edwards, who was the lead anchor for the BBC during the Royal Wedding, would also present the Games on BBC One and BBC Three.
The announcement comes months after Edwards, a veteran journalist and newsreader, was derided for some of his comments during the Royal Wedding.
Describing footage of the Duchess of Cambridge getting into her car outside the Goring Hotel, which showed a restricted view of her upper body, Edwards said it was a "limited view, but a splendid view."
His name was the fifth most popular topic of messages on Twitter by the time the wedding actually started with some saying his presenting was "boring", "drivelling" and "pompous". Others said he was doing "a very good job".
But the BBC's Olympic coverage will see Edwards once again become the voice of the broadcaster for London 2012.
Bill Turnbull, Hazel Irvine, Sian Williams and Chris Hollins will also host breakfast time coverage on BBC One, followed by Mishal Husain along with athletics expert Jonathan Edwards and John Inverdale on site.
Matt Baker, Clare Balding, Jake Humphry and Hazel Irvine will all feature as daytime presenters and Question of Sport host Sue Barker will take over from 4pm.
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker will front the prime-time evening show before Gabby Logan brings together the sport and late night events from 10.35pm.
BBC Three viewers will see Manish Bhasin, Rishi Persad and Sonali Shah from the morning until 7pm, when Jake Humphry will anchor the channel for the rest of the evening.
A full line-up of reporters, commentators and pundits will be announced by the BBC in due course.

With this post, following on from the Piketty Digests, my aim is to present all eighteen questions that accompany each post in one location. The original purpose of these questions was pedagogical in completing each summary with a provocation to my own students on The Political Economy of Global Capitalism (ECOP2613) to think differently about Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century.
The modest ambition was that this pedagogical impetus would also resonate more widely. So, here are all eighteen questions related to the Piketty Digests, in one place, with the hyperlink for each taking you to the individual blog post.
With all the furore surrounding Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century my aim here is to carry a weekly focus on the book via For the Desk Drawer. The purpose is modest. There is already in existence some rather excellent coverage and detailed engagement with the book both in the general media and on specific blog sites. I am thinking here of the analyses by Michael Roberts on his blog site; the competing viewpoint or 'afterthoughts' of David Harvey; Benjamin Kunkel's assessment in 'Paupers and Richlings' for London Review of Books matched by Knox Peden's great essay on 'The Abstractions of History'; or Paul Krugman's rather different tone in 'Why We're in a New Guilded Age' for The New York Review of Books. My own endeavour is much less ambitious than any of these engagements. It seeks to offer a weekly equivalent to the 'Pocket Piketty' provided by Duncan Green. Each week my intention is to carry a blog post on FtDD that summarises my notes on each chapter in just a few hundred words that can be read quickly. The purpose of these summaries is to produce an interpretative synopsis of each chapter drawn from my more detailed notes.

'An epic love story that is beautifully told.' The Sun
'An epic love story that is beautifully told.' The Sun
Burning Embers is a contemporary historical romance novel set in Kenya in 1970. It depicts the developing attraction and love between a young and naive woman, Coral, who has come home to Africa, the land of her birth, and Rafe, a handsome, virile, commanding plantation owner who carries a dark secret heavy in his heart. It is an evocative and passionate story of coming of age, of letting go of the past, of having faith in a person and of overcoming obstacles to love, set against the vivid and colourful backdrop of rural Africa and its culture.
Coral Sinclair is a beautiful but naive twenty-five-year-old photographer who has just lost her father. She's leaving the life she's known and traveling to Kenya to take ownership of her inheritance–the plantation that was her childhood home–Mpingo. On the voyage from England, Coral meets an enigmatic stranger to whom she has a mystifying attraction. She sees him again days later on the beach near Mpingo, but Coral's childhood nanny tells her the man is not to be trusted. It is rumored that Rafe de Monfort, owner of a neighboring plantation and a nightclub, is a notorious womanizer having an affair with her stepmother, which may have contributed to her father's death.
Circumstance confirms Coral's worst suspicions, but when Rafe's life is in danger she is driven to make peace. A tentative romance blossoms amidst a meddling ex-fiancé, a jealous stepmother, a car accident, and the dangerous wilderness of Africa. Is Rafe just toying with a young woman's affections? Is the notorious womanizer only after Coral's inheritance? Or does Rafe's troubled past color his every move, making him more vulnerable than Coral could ever imagine?
Set in 1970, this contemporary historical romance sends the seemingly doomed lovers down a destructive path wrought with greed, betrayal, revenge, passion, and love.
The plane was in the air for more than an hour. They flew over blue lakes, torrents, and streams that snaked through the vast plains, and long savannahs with dry river beds foaming, great gashes of red, yellow, and white in the earth. At last they came out on a glade. Coral could see a narrow brook and a darker fringe of immense acacias down at the bottom. Slopes of golden grass over six feet high lay on either side of the watercourse. Up behind came solid gray cliffs; their silvery peaks rose and vanished into the heavens, holding captive the sagging mist of the afternoon.
The plane touched down in a valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and though the scenery was dramatically beautiful, for some reason Coral felt uneasy.
"It's taken us a little longer than I thought," Rafe said as he pushed open the cockpit cabin roof door, braced his feet on the wing of the plane, and jumped to the ground, "but we've arrived." Coral wriggled out of her seat and gingerly stepped onto the wing, sitting on it for a moment as she scanned the surroundings. There was something eerie about the place, as though they were not alone — the uncomfortable sensation that they were being stared at by wild creatures — and she had a vague sense of foreboding. A shadow must have touched her face because Rafe frowned. "Is anything the matter? You seem troubled."
Coral smiled down at him, not wanting to spoil the moment. "It's very wild, very beautiful. You seem to have a predilection for enchanting, remote places."
"In fact, this place isn't as remote as you might think — it's on the edge of a Masai village. There's actually a road not far from here that runs straight to Narok, close to Lady Langley's plantation."
Rafe raised his arms to help her off the aircraft. He lifted her toward him, and she felt his strong torso against her breasts. She could sense a heart thumping uncontrollably; was it hers, or his, or both? She couldn't tell. As he set her down, she gazed up at him. "Oh, Coral, don't look at me with those eyes. I can't vouch for my reaction if you do," he said, his voice sensually low. He let go of her shoulders, gently pushing her away a little. Taking a hamper and a blanket out of the plane, he added, "Let's have a spot of lunch and a glass of wine."
Though the afternoon sunshine was beginning to fade, the air was still hot and heavy. Coral was struck by the awesome silence that surrounded them. Not a bird in sight, no shuffle in the undergrowth, even the insects were elusive. They climbed a little way up the escarpment over the plateau and found a spot that dominated the view of the whole glade. Rafe spread out the blanket under an acacia tree. They ate some chicken sandwiches and eggs and polished off the bottle of cordial. They chatted casually, like old friends, about unimportant mundane things, as though they were both trying to ward off the real issue, to stifle the burning embers that were smoldering dangerously in both their minds and their bodies.
All the while, Coral had been aware of the need blossoming inside her, clouding all reason with desire. She could tell that he was fighting his own battle. Why was he holding back? Was he waiting for her to make the first move? Rafe was laying on his side, propped up on his elbow, his head leaning on his hand, watching her through his long black lashes. The rhythm of his breathing was slightly faster, and she could detect a little pulse beating in the middle of his temple, both a suggestion of the turmoil inside him. Rafe put out a hand to touch her but seemed to change his mind and drew it away. Coral stared back at him, her eyes dark with yearning, searching his face.
The shutters came down. "Don't, Coral," Rafe whispered, "don't tease. There's a limit to the amount of resistance a man has."
"But Rafe…"
A flash of long blue lightning split the sky, closely followed by a crash of thunder. Coral instinctively threw herself into Rafe's arms, hiding her face against his broad chest. She had always had a strong phobia of thunderstorms. Now she knew why the place had seemed eerie, why there had been no bird song or insect tick-tocks, no scuffling and ruffling in the undergrowth. Even though the skies when they entered the valley had not foretold the electrical storm that was to come, just like with the animals, her instinct had told her that something was wrong. But she had been too distracted by the turbulence crackling between her and Rafe to pay attention to the changing sky.
Rafe, too, was shaken out of his daze and turned his head to see that the sun had dropped behind the mountain. Dense clouds had swept into the valley and were hanging overhead like a black mantle.
"Where did that come from? No storm was forecast for today?" he muttered, jumping up.
There was another tremendous peal of thunder, lightning lit up the whole glade, and again another crash. Then the heavy drops of rain came hammering down against the treetops, pouring down through the foliage.
A wind was starting up. Without hesitation, Rafe folded the blanket into a small bundle and tucked it under his arm. He slung the hamper over his shoulder, and lifting Coral into his arms, he climbed his way up to the next level of the escarpment where a ledge of rock was jutting out and found the entrance to a cave where they could shelter. Coral was shivering. She tucked her face into his shoulder, her fingers tightly gripping his shirt. She was completely inert, paralyzed by fear. They were both drenched.
There was no way they would be able to get back to Narok tonight. Coral knew from her childhood that storms were always long in this part of the country, and through her panic she prayed that he wouldn't be piloting that little plane back in this howling gale. At least here they were protected from the storm. It was not yet completely dark. Rafe looked around, still holding her tightly against him. Coral couldn't herself as she sobbed uncontrollably.
"Shush, it's all right," he whispered softly in her ear. "It's only a storm. By tomorrow morning it'll all be over." He brushed her tears away as more fell. "I'm going to have to set you down for a moment, Coral. I need to light us a fire and get you out of those wet clothes."

Many taxpayers have encountered individuals impersonating IRS officials – in person, over the telephone and via email. Don't get scammed. We want you to understand how and when the IRS contacts taxpayers and help you determine whether a contact you may have received is truly from an IRS employee.
The IRS initiates most contacts through regular mail delivered by the United States Postal Service.
However, there are special circumstances in which the IRS will call or come to a home or business, such as when a taxpayer has an overdue tax bill, to secure a delinquent tax return or a delinquent employment tax payment, or to tour a business as part of an audit or during criminal investigations.

8 Innovators Shaping the Future of Payments
American Express: More Than a Card Company
Known for its cardmember services, American Express continues to innovate in new payments areas beyond its traditional credit card business. In early 2011 the New York-based company introduced Serve, an online payments service similar to PayPal that allows customers to make web payments from an account linked to a credit or debit card account. The card giant later reached an agreement with Verizon to integrate Serve on many of the telecom provider's mobile devices. American Express also jumped in along with Visa, MasterCard and Discover last year to support mobile payments from the Isis NFC system.
[After Much Fanfare, Isis Launches with Pragmatic Expectations.]
More recently the company launched a digital treasury management platform, PAYVE, for corporate payments. Companies using PAYVE can consolidate and automate all of their payment types and clients on one platform, making payments more efficient and smoothing the transition from paper check processing to digital processing.
Meanwhile, American Express also continues to take a leadership role in engaging customers through social media. New York-based Corporate Insights recently recognized American Express for its strong social media strategy, particularly for its use of Twitter, and noted that the company's "five Facebook pages draw a large and engaged audience." Perhaps it's only a matter of time before the company tries to parlay that engagement into the next payments innovation.

It was delicious! A flavour party.
by India Leigh
It was delicious! A flavour party.
by India Leigh
I wish I had £10 for every time I heard Mariah Carey sing 'All I Want For Christmas'….I'd be stockpiling a small fortune by now! Hey, ho… ho ho!
Did you check out Xmas Part 1 & 2? Hope so..if not, there is always time.. click here for Part 1 and Part 2, right here
To keep with the 'healthy but feasty' theme I thought a light , but flavoursome, salad would be a good choice for the Christmas Day starter. Do you agree? I can't help feeling a little nostalgic at Christmas. Reminiscing about some retro dish from my childhood (it's all those bloody old Christmas songs filling the airways and catapulting me back to Christmas past). I've been recalling the days when a crouton was 'posh' food and me ma would serve everything deep fried and breaded, to showcase her culinary mastery. Us little'ns would see a few cubes of oily breadcrumbs on top of the Maryrose sauce and think we'd skipped up to the Upper Classes. Our pinkies would flick up from our cutlery in reverence, and an attempt to eat like stereotypical posh people. (cough) I think I must have had a case of invented memory syndrome because I cannot possibly be old enough to remember when prawn cocktail was in its heyday! So, with that in mind, and looking to what is seasonal I racked my brain for the perfect Christmas starter……and my inspired dish for Christmas day starter is to be……
Balsamic PEAR Salad With Deep Fried Cheese Croutons With Mustard Dressing and Leaves.
3 large conference pears
2 tbs balsamic glaze
1 tbs vegan butter & 1 tbs sesame oil for frying
salt & pepper
deep fried cheese
vegan hard cheese recipe here to make your own
4 tbs breadcrumbs
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs tapioca flour & water to make paste or use egg replacer
salt & pepper
oil for deep frying
dressing (can be made ahead of time)
3 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs olive oil (walnut oil would be lovely too I think)
2 tsp brown rice syrup (or agave, maple or similar)
organic salad leaves to serve
1.carefully peel your pears and cut into quarters lengthwise. 2. heat oil and butter in a pan and fry the pears until they are crackling and starting to caramelise. 3. season and spoon over the balsamic glaze, cook for a further 3-4 minutes. 4. whilst they are cooking away nicely grab all your dressing ingredients and mix them in a jar. Set aside 5. to make the cheese crouton like things (sorry, it's dark and cold here, not feeling very inspirational to come up with a fitting title) take an apple corer and cut out 3 cones for each person. Roll them in the tapioca paste then roll….gently now….in the breadcrumbs. 6. fry in the oil..careful!…until golden. Drain and them put all your elements together. Finally, get all cheffy and drizzle over the Dijon dressing. Let the feasting fun commence!
I'm hoping to extend the Christmas Feasting series to Part 4 and share some additional desserts and party food….if time allows.

The recipe is inspired by a Nigella Lawson recipe. I've made it quicker, adaptable and gluten-free.
Peanut Noodles – salad or sizzling
brown rice noodles (these are gluten free, if that is not a concern you may use soba noodles)
2 cups bean sprouts
1 cup baby corn
1 cup mange tout
1 red pepper, julienne
1 tbs sesame seeds
2 tbs fresh mint coriander (ciltrano) chopped
1 tbs fresh mint chopped
for the dressing
1/3 cup peanut butter. I used crunchy sugar free because I love the texture (if you are using sweetened PB then omit the next ingredient)
1 tbs agave or similar
1 tbs sesame oil
2 tbs sweet chili dressing (if you have a sugar free diet then use my simple sriracha sauce recipe)
1 tbs tamari (gluten free) soy sauce
1 tbs fresh lime juice
1 tsp garlic powder
*serve with extra, chopped chili for some fire. Optional
1. bring a kettle to the boil and pour over brown vermicelli rice noodles . Soak for 2-3 minutes. Strain off the liquid.
2. place all the dressing ingredients into a bowl and mix.
3. Mix the vegetables in with the noodles, pour over the peanut dressing and mix gently.
DONE! unless you want them hot. If so then flash fry in 1 tbs sesame oil to heat through. It really is that simple.

Post 101. I allowed the 100th post, since the conception of aveganobsession, to pass by without fanfare. It is momentous…I appreciate that. But I don't feel it (yet). I've hurt my ankle and its making me a grump right now…I can't run. I LOVE to run.
101 posts. What now? I have two recipes to share – faux chicken salad & roasted sweet potato with leek & cashew cheese topping……really nice…but they are not groundbreaking, artistically splendorous or recipes worthy of adulation. I'll happily give the recipe if you want.
Hmmn, I look back over the posts and see I have progressed. More recipes obviously, my intention to bake and post when once again in the UK has been churned out with a frequency of which I am proud. My pics are improved…somewhat..mostly..in the main. The sense of obligation I feel to the blog and you, has made me be more creative..try more recipes. This can only ever be a good thing.
At this milestone, I feel I should be making decisions. Which direction to point myself in. Devising a plan. To be honest I have no idea. How did other bloggers handle their own milestones? I hunting all over the place for clarity, but I've just got steamy windows! IN the meantime, I thought I'd just pass on some tidbits I've found recently.
Vegan Potlucks in the UK – coming up…London, today at MsCupcake 6-8pm Brighton Vegan Meal meet up is 6:15pm on 12th August
London Vegan Festival – 21st August..visit www.vegancampaigns.org.uk/festival
I bought VEGETARIAN LIVING magazine (it has lots of vegan recipes) for first time today.. It's got some interesting information I thought to share..
A vegetarian cafe in Yorkshire beat down all the 'meat' competition and won BEST CAFE – Ginger Vegetarian Cafe
Is there an APP for that? – you can now buy an app that scans a product bar code and tells you what food or drink you can or can't have according to your dietary requirements…nice idea.
Vegetarian Living magazine are running an offer with Goodness Direct to get £10 off your next order over £35 – place order online and enter code – 322345P8 I love GD, they have a fantastic range of fresh, frozen and wholefoods.
Facemasks for men…? Vegetarian Living brings us this info – www.osmiumformen.com
Can you help guide me?
Where do I go from here….? If you have any suggestions or ideas for the blog please let me know. I would love to make it user FRIENDLY.
p.s thanks to www.environmentalistinaction.com for the jpeg of the celebration cake.

Left overs are good. They are like pieces of a puzzle you get to fit together to make a picture..or great meal.
After my experiments in the kitchen the previous day..making tasty tempeh 'bacon', I had a quantity of cabbage left and I was still craving that cabbage 'bite', so I decided to haul everything from the fridge and see what I could create. I wanted a salad but, with the weather still not quite at 'bikini' level, I still felt like some warmth in my belly. The result…..Warm Detox Cabbage Salad. Members of the brassica family; cabbage, kale, broccoli etc are excellent detoxifiers and I thought what better time than the change of the seasons to transition to the lighter diet of springtime (well actually 1st priority was I wanted something super good, super quick).
This recipe makes for an entree salad for two or a side salad for four (or two greedies).
Gather your ingredients
1/2 wash green cabbage
1 bunch kale
handful of mixed baby lettuce leaves or herb salad
2 large carrots
1 punnet of grape/cherry tomatoes (at room temp. for best flavour…tomatoes are like me, not very funky if they're chilled!)
1/2 large Hass avocado, so ripe and delicous it'll make you want to weep!
1/2 cup of chopped pineapple (not the kind that's been strangled with syrup) * optional
1 tbsp capers
1 tbsp unsweetened cranberries
Extra virgin OO – canola oil or a mix of walnut and OO would be good too….I wonder if peanut oil?….another time!
A cheeky squeeze of lemon
Crushed salt & cracked pepper
In a pan steam or boil in shallow, seasoned water the chopped cabbage..I like mine in fine strips…until becoming translucent. Allow to cool a little.
chop kale and remove fibrous stems. Place in a bowl, with julienned carrots, chopped tomatoes, avocado and remaining ingredients. Mix
Creamy mustard dressing…Mustvocado
1/2 gloriously ripe avocado
1 tbsp Tofutti cream cheese
1-2 tbsp Dijon mustard or Trader Joes spicy mustard
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp Extra virgin OO
a dash of slightly cooled cabbage water to thin if needed
*NOTE; PLEASE IGNORE THE PB, IT ISN'T IN THIS RECIPE BUT PICTURE WAS ON FILE FOR A PRODUCT REVIEWS THAT I AM WRITING. Though, if you replaced the mustard (or had the PB as an additional ingredient), the PB would make for a nice alternative I imagine..
For the dressing, mash the avocado in a bowl with the cheese and mustard before adding the raw minced garlic and oil. Whisk/mix. The consistency should be roughly that of heavy cream. Let it sit for a minute or two for it all to get nicely acquainted and then pour into your salad and mix whilst inhaling the aroma. Test the seasoning…serve. Take a bow.
It was sooo good, lots of layers of flavour, the dressing creamy but elegant. All that AND it is good for you! Blimey.

I attended a great POTLUCK yesterday in San Francisco…my 1st! Hosted by my friend Veronica. OMG the food was super tasty and simple as…
I had 50mins to make something with quinoa (my hosts request), time just seems to sink into the pavement in San Francisco and there is ALWAYS a farmers market, restaurant or fab cafe that pulls my attention away. So, was back to the kitchen late and had to throw something together.
The result of my frantic grabbing of ingredients… QUINOA & KALE SALAD
Ahem, I admit I never measure anything… All recipes serve four to five friends.
I just intuitively added water to the quinoa after rinsing it…I'd say about two pints of cold water to a lb of grain. I did some research and found this website if you need to measure..How to cook quinoa from Low Calorie Cooking
Boil for about 20mins. Until you see the grain split and all the water has been absorbed. Leave to cool.
Put oil in a pan DO NOT preheat.
Slice all but one of the garlic cloves and put the burner on low. Let the garlic slowly cook until it becomes slightly golden. Remove, with the oil to a small dish and put it in the fridge to halt the cooking process. DO NOT let it burn, it will be bitter and nasty.
Wash the kale well and shake dry (water will make the oil spit when sauteing). Chop finely and cut away any tough stalks.
Spray or pour a little oil into a pan and heat.
Add the kale together with remaining garlic clove, finely chopped.
Saute for about 4 mins, until kale is slightly reduced and garlic cooked.
Season well.
Heat pan and drop in the almond flakes..toast until golden and making the kitchen smell like heaven. Take them off heat and put them in small dish in the fridge to cool.
Now, lets assemble it all.
Grab the cooked quinoa and put in serving dish.
Add the garlic and the oil it danced in. Spoon in the kale and the almonds. Sprinkle in the cranberries or raisins (without steeping water). Grab a large salad utensil and mix ingredients. Squeeze over lemon juice. Check for seasoning. Throw on some herb salad or arugula (rocket) leaves.
I had some kale chips from Rhythm Superfoods in the cupboard, KOOL RANCH flavour so I crumbled a handful into the mix too.
My friend Veronica made some AWESOME aubergines (eggplant). Simple and FULL of flavour.
Recipe for aubergine (sorry but I prefer the name we Brits use for it…but yes, its eggplant)
Slice aubergine
Place on dish and salt…leave it to weep..poor little veggie. This apparently stops it from soaking up too much oil but I think may be one of those things we do without questioning the validity of it, or perhaps not.
Grill or place on skillet and cook until soft and unctuous.
Remove to serving dish and add finely chopped garlic, drizzle heartily with a good olive oil (Veronica used oil from her partner's grove in Italy..now that's decedent) and sprinkle over finely chopped parsley…season to taste.
Asparagus in oil, lightly cooked on a skillet…I was too busy piling all the food on my plate at this point and chatting so forgot to take a picture. Sorry!
Someone cheated with the final dish. A colourful beet salad…bought from BI-RITE MARKET
Just roasted beets & carrots and vinaigrette. Scrummy.
It was a feast.
We finished the evening with fresh pears and dried fruit poached in Marsala wine. Again, alas too busy eating to photograph…….
Went home stuffed and a very contented bunny.

Well, it's almost Halloween, and with that time of year artists come out of the pumpkin patch. Yes, pumpkin carving and Jack-O-Lanterns are all the rage during October. What was once a simple art form using a butcher knife or a way to scare of evil spirits, has given way to a more sophisticated and less bloody art form: pumpkin sculpting. While there may not be a "David" in these works of art, it is hard to ignore the craftsmanship and the skill it takes to carve a pumpkin and even more so when you consider the artists have brought to life their favorite characters from Star Wars. Behold 10 wonderful Star Wars pumpkin carvings. This list of Star Wars pumpkins has been updated since last Halloween. Please share your favorites in the comments below.

holy (@*Y! vowels 2 to 3 times?,… What hedious trickery is this?!
You have GOT to be kidding me… One big DUH for you, for putting out this embarrasing video. I hope you aren't on their payroll.
Uhhh…no. Please get some medical education.Why doesnt everything you eat come out? Cause its broken down and absorbed in the digestive process.Duh!There is no such thin as "detoxing" the body-its pure nonsense. The colon does not clog,material does not collect in it.Any doctor who actually works with the colon (like a real doctor,not some "natural" doctor) knows and will tell you that the colon walls are very clean and free of any "build up". This lady is talking without saying anything.
Constipation comes in many forms and what you are talking about has to do with hard feces which is difficult and slow to pass,and in extreme cases if soft fecal matter tries to pass the hard matter it can become compacted and clog.Nothing to do with "toxins" or "build up" in the colon.The colon has bacteria on the walls that keep it clean.Your colon is not like house plumbing which can clog over time due to build up-fecal matter does NOT build up and collect over time and clog the colon.
Im sorry,but you just don't understand how the body works which is common and how people get scammed by "detox" treatments.The body cleans itself of anything harmful though things like the entire immune system,lymphatic system,kidneys and liver.They are just plain and simple making things up as shown by this little talk about the colon and they are not doctors.Our bodies do the job,detox does nothing,and some detox "treatments"-like colon cleansing-are actually harmful.
I just named you all the tools the body uses to cleans itself,so what "tools" is it lacking?You're just talking back the made up stuff these people say.What "toxins" are you talking about;where do they "build up";how do they "build up",etc? Toxins is just a general meaningless term.For instance,you consume too much alcohol and you get drink cause your liver cant keep up;but it still gets processed-it doesn't "build up" and sit there forever.There is no such thing as "toxic build up".
this is the first time i see every one talking mess in an intelligent way
I agree with you. You are very smart.
Organs, tissues, fat (adipose tissue), skin, hair, and more can hold toxins, or have toxic build up if you will. Toxin is not a meaningless term, more it is often used as a general term or a blanket term for harmful or potentially harmful substances. Example: Mercury is toxic to the body, it can accumulate in tissues, and it is harmful. Yes that is a big obvious one, but the idea to keep in mind is that there are many things that your body can't filter.
Yes, they call it iatrogenesis = disease or injury caused by treatment. I believe the stat includes only that which is begrudged. There's plenty of etiological denial too. That word means disease genesis, what's its primary cause. & they cook stats like they cook their books. Oh, for an Enron in the "healthcare" industry!
But keep in mind, if you violate the laws of proper eating and do not use herbs, you'll have no choice but to go to the doctor. While I definitely prescribe to herbs I think the stat is a bit misleading, because as tough of a pill it is to swallow, they also probably save much more lives and with all due respect, much of the loss could be malpractice.Again, this is not to defend the AMA, but just to put things in perspective.

Airports Council International reports (31-Mar-2010) the following traffic highlights in Feb-2010:
- Passenger numbers: 230.3 million, +6.8% year-on-year;
- Domestic: 122.7 million, +4.8%;
- International: 105.4 million, +9.3%;
- Cargo volume: 4.8 million tonnes, +22.5%;
- Domestic: 1.4 million tonnes, +10.2%;
- International: 3.2 million tonnes, +30.3%. [more]
ACI: "Obviously, these figures need to be looked at with caution as the reference month was the worst month in 2009. That being said, the results remain encouraging. Also, the healthy pattern of international traffic outperforming domestic traffic has returned for the first time since November 2008. The need and desire for international travel is bouncing back and is once again set to lead the industry's growth," Andreas Schimm, ACI World Director Economics. Source: ACI, 31-Mar-2010.

Into the Dark Woods
There's something to be said for a tv show that lingers. Since watching the 3rd season of Twin Peaks I find myself casting about the internet for whatever can help me in my quest to make meaning. Because it's getting on to that Xmas time of year, which feels Twin Peaksy to me, I don't mind.
And this is really quite interesting. You should know there are 4 parts and it's focused on the original series.
Journey Through Twin Peaks - Part 1: Harmony of the Dark Woods from Lost In The Movies on Vimeo.
"Journey Through Twin Peaks" is a 4-part video series analyzing the narrative cycle of Twin Peaks, stretching from the pilot through Fire Walk With Me. Part 1, "Harmony of the Dark Woods" explores the pilot through the season 2 premiere, examining how the show perfectly balances its three core elements: Laura Palmer, the town of Twin Peaks, and FBI Agent Dale Cooper.
You can watch Part 2 of this series here:
Part 3 here:
and Part 4 here:

Orlando, Florida:PGA Tour player Arjun Atwal is under investigation after what appeared to be a high-speed street race that ended in a fatal crash, police said. Atwal, the first player from India on the American golf tour, was not injured in the accident on Saturday at 5:30 pm local time. The other driver, John Noah Park, 48, died at a hospital, Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Kim Miller said on Sunday. No charges have been filed against Atwal. "At a minimum, he is facing a charge of engaging in a street race," Miller said. "We have to see if this crash rises to the level of any other charges." Atwal's wife, Ritika, answered the phone at their Windermere home Sunday. She said her husband wasn't home and declined to talk about the crash. US tour spokesman Ty Votaw said: "Until we learn more, we don't have any comment at this time." The 33-year-old golfer and Park appeared to be racing when they lost control on a curve on a suburban road that is a popular shortcut between the Disney resorts and upscale communities west of Orlando. Atwal's 2006 BMW spun and came to rest on the shoulder. Park's Mercedes slammed into a tree. The cars did not collide, Miller said. Troopers will use skid marks and other evidence to determine how fast the men were going. "Witnesses tell us they were engaged in a street race," Miller said. "They estimated speeds at or about 100 mph (160 kph). Park's vehicle hit a tree and basically just shattered. Part of the axle was found in the tree. It was a very violent crash." Atwal was the first Indian-born player to win on the European tour when he captured the 2002 Singapore Masters by five shots. He went to US tour qualifying school a year later and earned his card. He nearly won a US tour event two years ago. He was in Bali on his honeymoon in March 2005 when his parents warned him of impending storms, so he and his wife headed for their Florida home. Because the BellSouth Classic in Atlanta began late that week, he got into the tournament and wound up in a five-man playoff. Atwal was eliminated on the first extra hole of the tournament, won by Phil Mickelson. He struggled last year and finished 140th on the American tour order of merit, failing to keep full-exempt status on the tour. Atwal has played only three times this year, finishing in a tie for 36th at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and missing the cut the last two weeks in Mexico and the Honda Classic. Atwal was not eligible to play again until the Houston Open at the end of the month.

It styles itself as a film about an eccentric old man, planning his own funeral party so that he can participate. But the funeral is just an excuse.
In "Get Low," the point is not the party. And the point is not the funeral. The point is the story. Not the story of the movie itself, but the story of the old man's life. Well, the story of the old man's past.
Robert Duvall plays Felix Bush, a hermit who has been holed up in his cabin in the woods for forty years.
When we first see him go to town, there's an air of mystery about him–the hermit whom no one has seen, but whom everyone seems to know.
At first it seems that this is a point of umbrage for Bush, everyone thinking they know him. The people he meets allude to the "stories everyone's heard," and he keeps asking what stories those might be.
But as the film develops we realize that this is not a taunt, it's his driving desire. He has a story, a dark and terrible story, that needs to be told. Funerals are places where stories of the dead are told. The funeral party is the invitation to come and tell–in hopes that someone else will reveal the truth.
Because Bush feels that he can't do it himself. The pain is too much. The shame is too much. And he's not all that sure that he could live with the forgiveness that might come if the truth were disclosed.
Recently I've been in several story-telling venues. In whatever context these occur, the telling of stories is powerful for both the speakers and the hearers. There is often a freedom that comes in the telling and in the hearing.
I wonder how much of a therapist's, or a pastor's, job might be framed as getting people to tell their stories and, perhaps, to reframe them in a way that enables them to continue participating in that narrative with a more healthful engagement?
Bush had to discover that no one else would tell his story for him. He needed to say to the others who were wounded on the terrible night in question what had really happened.
To his own surprise, it seems, he found peace.
While I would not say that "Get Low" itself does a great job with story-telling (I wasn't happy with the characters, by and large), it does do a great job with telling us about stories. For that display, it's worth the slot in your Netflix queue.

What makes us unique is what makes us National Ave: we don't adhere to any sort of predictable narrative. Our playlists skip from Springsteen to Ke$ha to Bill Monroe. Our DVD collections range from Shawshank Redemption to EuroTrip, from A Bridge Too Far to Mean Girls. Our fridges are an amalgamation of microbrews, Bud Lights and Smirnoff Ices, and our lunchtime Porterhouse very well may be followed up with a dinnertime Crunchwrap Supreme™. We appreciate high culture and low culture, old classics and new groundbreakers.
Therefore, since we have eclectic tastes and widespread interests (we don't even agree on the Oxford Comma, for shit's sake), we set out with a simple mission: to create a website in which every single piece is entertaining and valuable. Whether it's funny or serious, satire or long-form, we want every single post on this site to be interesting and relevant to our audience. We write about everything — sports, politics, music, TV, movies, pairs of historical leaders that would make the most formidable foosball teams — and hopefully bring some joy and perspective to whoever the hell our readers are. We engage with the culture we inhabit, and we livetweet the shit out of it.
If you like us, be sure and check out our perennial Eskimo brother Sherman Ave, the Northwestern University-based humor and culture site from which we sprung.

Adapted from Confections of a Foodie Bride
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup pesto
1 egg
1 tablespoon water.
Preheat oven to 375º.
Place puff pastry on sheet of parchment. Roll into a 12 x 12 square (mine was Dufour and probably could have been rolled even larger). Lift up puff pastry to dust the parchment under the pastry with Parmesan. Repeat on other side to make sure the bottom of the puff pastry is all coated with Parmesan.
Spread pesto within 1/2 inch of the puff pastry using spatula. With your spatula lightly draw a line across the center of the pesto, from top to bottom. Carefully roll up one side to the middle line, then the other. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes.
Cut the dough into 1/4 inch slices and place onto parchment lined baking sheet. Combine the water and egg to make an egg wash and brush over the palmiers.
Bake for 8 minutes; flip and bake for another 8 minutes. Best eaten freshly baked.
Makes 48.
