If you want a recipe for authentic chicharrón, this is not the blog for you. I can't be bothered to find the real cut of meat I would need so I just cut up pork chops in bite size pieces and fry them. Then I season them with Ingrid Hoffman's Delicioso Adobo spice mixture, just because I like that spice on almost everything. (See? Not authentic at all.)
As for the yuca, I can give you a good recipe for that.
Yuca Frita
* 1 bag frozen yuca (so much easier than messing with fresh yuca)
* 1 teaspoon achiote molido (spice)
* 2 tablespoons minced garlic
* 2 green onions chopped
* salt and paprika to taste
*oil for frying (I use Canola)
1. Place the yuca and all ingredients except salt, paprika and oil, in a large pot of water. (Water should cover the yuca.)
2. Bring water to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook until the yuca are tender enough to pierce with a fork. Remove from heat and drain water.
3. Cut any large pieces into thinner "steak french fry" sized pieces. Fry in oil, flipping once, until crisp on all sides. Remove to a plate. Season with salt and paprika. Serve with curtido and salsa.
Here is yuca con (fake) chicharrón on our dinner table. That is my husband's impatient hand. ("Are you done taking photos yet? I'm hungry!")
If you want to make Salvadoran curtido to go along with it, here's my recipe for that, too.
Salvadoran Curtido
* 1/2 head of cabbage chopped fine
* 1/2 cup grated carrot
* 2 green onions, minced
* 1/2 onion sliced thin, (vidalia is best since yellow onions are a bit strong)
* 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
* Salt to taste
* Dried oregano to taste
* Red pepper flakes to taste (not authentic – we just like it spicy!)
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove from heat and put the cabbage and carrot into the water. Let sit for 5 minutes and then drain. (A little water remaining is fine.) Add the other ingredients. Adjust apple cider vinegar to your tastes. If you find it too strong, add a little warm water. Best to let the flavors combine for a couple hours at room temperature, but can be served right away.
Curtido is most often eaten with yuca con chicharrón, and pupusas. Most people pour salsa over the curtido.
(My salsa recipe is HERE.)

Garmin is founded on the principles of innovation, convenience, performance, value, and service. Our co-founders Gary Burrell and Dr. Min Kao, display our innovative products in the lobby of our Olathe, Kansas, world headquarters.
What began as a brainstorming session of a handful of engineers around a card table in 1989 has evolved into a worldwide collaborative effort of thousands of colleagues. Garmin's goal, as it was then, remains simple: To create navigation and communication devices that can enrich our customers' lives. Our innovative products span various areas of interest, including automotive, aviation, marine, fitness, outdoor recreation and wireless applications.
A member of Garmin Ltd. (asdaq: GRMN), Garmin International exemplifies growth for everyone involved – consumers, employees, investors and retail partners. The secret to our success isn't even that much of a secret. From the time that the founders focused on selling their first product using GPS (Global Positioning System), Garmin has hired and surrounded itself with creative minds and passionate spirits.
Garmin is thriving because we take pride in the cooperative environment that stems from vertical integration — we design, manufacture, market and sell our products ourselves. During any given conversation about a product, you're likely to find engineers, designers, product testers, artists, writers and salespeople sharing their thoughts.
Investing in innovation has been central to Garmin's success. The original handful of employees in 1989 grew to a work force of 1,000 just 10 years later. That number doubled within four years and eclipsed 4,000 by 2006. In 2007, Garmin's worldwide work force topped 7,000 and showed little sign of slowing amid expansion in Europe and Asia.
We design our products with the customer in mind. Sidestepping the stress of navigation or travel begins with easy-to-use menus, logical options and intuitive features.
Whether in their rental car or at a retail store, first-time Garmin users quickly realize the wealth of information that can be packed into a compact, portable unit.
We don't just design and sell products, we embrace the lifestyles. From aviation to marine, automotive to fitness, wireless solutions to outdoor recreation, Garmin employees are in the air, on the water, in the woods, behind the wheel and on the run. And we're always thinking of ways to adapt and improve. At Garmin, you never know how the next great idea will be born. But you know it's coming soon..

Story of Alberta journalist held hostage in Somalia optioned by Hollywood company
A bestselling memoir by an Alberta woman held hostage in Somalia has been optioned by a Hollywood movie production company and Oscar-nominated actor Rooney Mara.
Amanda Lindhout's "A House in the Sky" details torture and abuse the freelance journalist endured while she was held captive for 15 months, along with an Australian photographer.
The book, co-authored by Sara Corbett, a contributing writer with the New York Times Magazine, has been on several bestseller lists since it was released last fall.
Annapurna Pictures says in a news release there was a competitive pursuit for the book's movie rights.
The company has produced award-winning films such as "American Hustle," "Her" and "Zero Dark Thirty."
Mara was nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 for her performance in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
The release says the book is to be developed as a starring vehicle for Mara, who will also serve as a producer of the movie.
"Rooney Mara is someone whose talent and adventurous spirit I admire deeply," Lindhout, 33, says in the release.
"I'm thrilled that she's teaming with Annapurna Pictures to bring "A House in the Sky" to the screen. I can't imagine a better match."
In the book, Lindhout recounts her childhood in Red Deer and the time she spent working as a cocktail waitress in Calgary before she became a travel junkie turned journalist.
She and Nigel Brennan, an ex-boyfriend, were on their way to do a story about a camp for displaced people outside Mogadishu in August 2008 when they were taken by a group of armed men hoping to exchange their release for ransom money.
They were not released until November 2009.
The book reveals how the families of the kidnapped pair eventually gave up on the Canadian and Australian governments and co-ordinated their release through a private hostage negotiator. About $600,000 went to the kidnappers and the same amount paid the negotiator's fees.

Conservation and Environment in Peru: Monthly Updates
Another busy few weeks in the jungle has seen us open up our mist nets, modify our second bear enclosure, visit our Ese'eja neighbours and amazingly the capture an relocation of a wild jaguar. The first ever operation of its kind in Peru!
Operation Jaguar
Over the years we have been visited by several wild jaguars that respond to the vocalizations and scent of our resident female, Preciosa. The majority have been males attracted to a potential mate. Normally they come out of the forest at night and head back at sunrise. After a few days they wander back into the jungle and we do not see or hear them again for months.
This time has been different. One cheeky male became so fond of Preciosa that he took up residence under one of the staff bungalows spending his days sleeping and wandering around the rescue centre at night. We all waited for him to get bored and head back into the jungle but after 10 days we began to worry that this particular male had no plans to leave his comfy new quarters. Then he crossed a line by breaking into one of our cages and eating two of our razor-billed curassows . We now had a serious problem and the animal was in direct conflict with our work at Taricaya. Whilst not a threat to humans, our animals were in danger and we needed to protect them from this alpha predator.
By law we would have been completely justified and within our rights to eliminate the problematic cat as he was officially a threat. However, we did not want to take that course of action and so we needed a plan B. The idea was simple the reality more complicated. How to catch a 150 pound large cat with fearsome teeth and deadly claws? At Taricaya we see this as a challenge and we got to work welding a cage able to withstand the animal's raw power with a heavy drop door that could be triggered when the animal entered to feed on the meat we used as bait.
The plan actually worked the first night as we kept our ears open for the unmistakable sound of the door dropping down. At around midnight the trap was triggered and we headed out to the cage only to find the meat gone and the door down. The cat had won but how? When the same thing happened on the second night we came to the conclusion that the cat was indeed bigger than we thought and was able to reach the food and still keep its body underneath the door to stop itself being trapped. Once it had retreated with its prize the door slammed down on an empty cage. We needed a new plan.
The only solution that we could see was to use the management cage of Preciosa's enclosure as it was much bigger and the animal would have to walk right in to eat the bait. This meant a rapid disassembly of the current door system, the welding of a new drop door and reinforcing the cage to withstand the attacks of a very angry jaguar once captured. It worked. At 7.30pm on the third night the whole lodge shuddered as the drop door slammed down and we went to investigate. The beautiful male was understandably going berserk inside its temporary prison and we decided to leave it to calm down until the following morning when we got up early to undertake the second phase of the operation. This was to dart the animal, put it to sleep and move it to our vacant puma enclosure where it would stay until being relocated.
The animal was sedated, moved and quickly took up residence in its new cage using the concrete cave as its resting place. The animals in the centre were safe and the operation had been a success. The final phase then needed to be planned as a wild jaguar cannot just be released anywhere and after close to 10 days of coordination it was decided that the animal would be moved and set free in a huge timber concession about 5 hours from Puerto Maldonado. A commission arrived from Lima along with a state of the art GPS collar and the final phase of the operation began.
Waking at 4.30am we quietly moved to the jaguar's enclosure darted it, attached the collar and put it into its transport cage (the one we had earlier used for the trap). After loading it onto the boat it was off to Puerto Maldonado where we quickly loaded it onto a pick-up truck and off we went in a four car convey towards the Brazilian border and the release site. After a couple of hours on tarmac it was time to head cross country and a further three hours of very dubious tracks and bridges we reached the dense jungle where the cat was to be set free. A winching system was rigged so that we could safely lift the door by using one of the cars to pull a cable and the time came to set him free.
After a few long moments when the jaguar got its bearing it came out of the cage and quickly ran into the dense undergrowth. The whole operation has been a success. The magnificent jaguar got a second chance at freedom and in conjunction with the government and the concession owner we had just performed the first ever jaguar relocation in Peru. Another proud moment at Taricaya and a fine tribute to all our volunteers that helped from the trap's construction to the animal's transfer, lots of hard work but with a huge sense of satisfaction. A big thank you to everyone involved.
Biodiversity Research
With such drama elsewhere at Taricaya it would have been understandable if we had relaxed a little but our research must continue as we strengthen our standing as a global biodiversity hotspot. This month we set up our nets in three different locations and whilst there were no new registers for our extensive bird list we caught some rare and beautiful birds including a migrant sub-species of the white winged becard which was traditionally classed as a member of the Tyrant flycatcher family but is now considered a member of the Tityras. Other captures included an American pygmy kingfisher , ruddy quail dove and a magnificent gray-headed tanager .
Our canopy and platform observations continue and after 11 years of data collection from the continents highest suspending walkway we are studying bird life often only glimpsed from the forest floor through a wall of green and brown.
Rescue Centre
As I mentioned last time we had been busy modifying the first of our bear enclosures and this month we continued and finished the second. Finally our two newest bears have their own spacious cages with refreshing pools and shady caves and they can settle in even more. Their changing behaviour has been incredible to observe- once aggressive and nervous they now wander around their new homes even coming up to the fence to receive treats or for a friendly tickle on the chin. This would never have happened in their old home and the more relaxed they become the greater our chances of breeding them in the future in an attempt to reintroduce their offspring back into the wild and help the ever depleting population of South America's only bear species. I will keep you posted on their on-going progress.
As the dry season starts and river levels drop we shall be busy preparing for this season's turtle project as we rebuild the artificial beaches, collect and sieve the tons of sand needed to fill them and with upcoming visits from more our Peruvian biologist friends there will be plenty going on in the reserve.
Until then….

Following Gary Coleman's death on Friday, celebrities have turned to Twitter to pay their respects to the former "Diff'rent Strokes" star.
"I'm at a loss for words upon learning of Gary Coleman's passing," wrote Janet Jackson, who appeared on "Diff'rent Strokes" in the early '80s. "I want to remember him as the fun, playful, adorable."
Actor Jamie Kennedy recalled meeting Coleman on the set of a movie he was working on at the time. "When I did 'Bowfinger', Gary Coleman was the security guard," he said on Twitter. "A pop icon and here he was a damn security guard. He was humble and sweet. Sad."
U.S. & World
"Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be...actors. r.i.p. gary," wrote former "Full House" actor John Stamos.
Ex-"American Idol" judge Paula Abdul Tweeted: "I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about Gary Coleman. my heartfelt condolences go out to his entire family."
"Rest in peace, Gary Coleman," wrote former "Who's The Boss" actress Alyssa Milano.
Actress Eliza Dushku said on her Twitter page: "We love you Gary Coleman, thank u for Diff'rent Strokes, sir, u brought joy into my & my bros childhood.. "Whatchoo talkin bout, Willis.." x."
"My prayers go out to his family," Kim Kardashian Tweeted, while tennis star Serena Williams expressed similar sentiments.
"House" actress Olivia Wilde also Tweeted: "Poor Gary Coleman. Hope it was painless. RIP."
Coleman, 42, who played Arnold Jackson on "Diff'rent Strokes," died after suffering a brain hemorrhage, said a Utah hospital where he was admitted on Wednesday.

Jerry Stahl, who once had a very successful career as a TV writer has just nabbed one of the more high-profile scriptwriting jobs in Hollywood.
Stahl has been brought on board to script the remake of "The Thin Man" starring Johnny Depp, reported Heat Vision. Rob Marshall, who directed Depp in the most recent "Pirates" saga, is in talks to direct.
Despite three years writing for "ALF," and working occasionally on "Twin Peaks" and "Northern Exposure," Stahl is best known for his 1995 memoir, "Permanent Midnight," which recounted his struggles with heroin. It was later turned into a film starring Ben Stiller that was well received but was a flop commercially.
U.S. & World
The original "Thin Man," based on Dashell Hammett's novel of the same name, came out in 1934 and starred William Powell as Nick Charles, an ex-detective married to Nora Charles, a beautiful heiress, played by Myrna Loy. In it, Nick gets pulled out of retirement by the disappearance of a friend who's possibly been involved in a murder. It's a brilliantly hilarious gin-soaked good time.
We try hard around here not to hate on the remakes, but a "The Thin Man" remake strikes us as a dubious proposition. But if anyone can capture the genius of Powell's performance, it's Depp. Finding someone to star opposite him in the role made famous by Loy will be tough.

From October 1 through November 3, Schlotzsky's wants you to Step Up! to help us support JDRF so we can find a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D). Drop by any Schlotzsky's restaurant during this time and donate just one dollar to JDRF and you'll get a coupon for a dollar off your next purchase at Schlotzsky's. It's that simple! Help us raise funds for JDRF, get a coupon and walk away feeling good!
Founded in 1970, JDRF (formally Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) is the world's largest charitable funder of type 1 diabetes research, having raised more than $1.6 billion in research funds since its inception. T1D is an autoimmune disease that can strike at any age, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with T1D have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump – each day, every day of their lives.
"We were extremely selective when identifying a national charitable cause that our brand could support system wide. Our organization is happy to be working with JDRF to fund essential research toward type 1 diabetes," said Kelly Roddy, president of Schlotzsky's. "This decision was more than an act of corporate philanthropy; this was the alignment of two organizations that are passionate about helping those with this disease. As a supporting partner, our goal is to raise $250,000 that will help efforts in finding better treatments and a cure for T1D."
