Single Cup Coffee Makers and Espresso Machines
For those of us who live alone, or just live for a little alone time with our favorite cup of coffee and a crossword puzzle, the huge capacity of presses or drip brewers does nothing for us. You're not a loner, you just prefer a little solitude and don't want to deal with storing the huge amounts made by a standard coffee machine. These single-serving brewers are here to answer your challenge!
Choose from pour-overs, cold brewing systems, or even handy stovetop pots for simple, small batches coffee.
Jura ENA Micro 1 Automatic Coffee Center
$899.00The Jura ENA Micro 1 Automatic Coffee Center is tiny but mighty, delivering a gourmet cup of espresso or coffee with an ultra-compact footprint.

Hey yau'll!!!
Ok...I'm getting the "Chef itch" again!!! Time to make something I've never made before!!! Yep, it's time to make Land and Sea from Alissa's 2nd book, Raw Food For Everyone!!!! The recipe is on page 350. To make the recipe from start to finish will require 1 week to make it. I want to make it exactly the way that Alissa has it outlined in her book . Each step will be shown here. I'll post photos (of course...you KNOW me...) along the way. I hope that you will join me!!!!
It's actually a very simple recipe to make. Waiting on the Rejuvelac is just time consuming, but once that's made it's smooth sailing!!!!!!
Ok, so the first step to making the recipe is to make Grezzo Cheese on page 132. I do not have anymore in my freezer, so I need to restock it anyway. To make the Grezzo Cheese, I need to make more Rejuvelac, so today I will be soaking my Wheat Berries and Rye Berries. It takes 6 days to make Rejuvelac with all the soaking/sprouting time. Then, I will make the Grezzo Ricottta Cheese on page 146, then the Land and Sea on page 350.

Size variations are popular with tile these days. From tiny tiles for mosaic applications to large, rather sheet-like squares of ceramic.
There's no denying the crisp, cool beauty of ceramic, porcelain and stone. Tile is often the hands-down favorite flooring choice — formal or casual, dressed up or down, dazzlingly decorative or stunningly simple.

Beijing (CNN) -- In a country where the image of Mao Zedong is still revered and taxi drivers hang Mao medallions from their rear-view mirrors almost like lucky talismans, Bo Xilai's 'red culture' revival was always going to have traction.
In the sprawling riverside megalopolis of Chongqing, the charismatic and urbane politician Bo launched a "smash black, sing red" campaign that promoted Chinese communist culture as zealously as it cracked down on organized crime.
From June 2009, Bo led a law and order drive that resulted in the arrest of thousands of suspected gangsters, but critics claim it also targeted his political adversaries.
The crackdown may have thrilled many in Chongqing's massive municipality of 32.8 million people - almost four million of whom are rural migrant workers seeking work in the urban center, but Bo's law-and-order campaign touched on one of China's growing social and political fault lines.
While many are becoming fabulously wealthy in the new China, millions more feel they are missing out on the country's economic transformation.
Bo's red-tinged economic policies -- which have included millions spent on social housing -- may have garnered him a rock star status in Chongqing, but almost 1,000 miles from the Yangtze River city in Beijing, some party chiefs were taking a different view.
His populist policies and high-profile personal style were seen as a challenge to the economically liberal and reform-oriented faction within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The division emerged in the famous "cake theory" spat between Bo and Guangdong party chief Wang Yang in 2011.
Wang at the time stated that China needed to pursue economic growth before it could worry about how to divide the wealth, saying that "one must bake a bigger cake first before dividing it."
Bo was said to have responded: "Some people think [...] that one must bake a large cake before dividing it; but this is wrong in practice. If the distribution of the cake is unfair, those who make the cake won't feel motivated to bake it." Political analysts say the spat, which was widely aired on Chinese media last year, drives to the heart of the factional problems besetting the CCP.
The political divisions came to a boil in March when China's national legislature convened its annual meeting in Beijing.
Speaking to reporters on March 9 on the sidelines of a panel discussion of Chongqing delegates, Bo defended his policies. "Ask any citizen on the street if they support fighting corruption and they'll say 'yes'," he boomed. Addressing the rich-poor divide, he said: ''If only a few people are rich then we are capitalists, we've failed."
That may have been Bo's last stand.
Timeline: Bo Xilai's fall from grace
A few weeks earlier, Wang Lijun, his handpicked former police chief, had tried to defect to the U.S. consulate in the neighboring Sichuan city of Chengdu, triggering a political crisis that rocked the leadership in Beijing.
On March 14, Premier Wen Jiabao obliquely reprimanded Chongqing's leadership over the Wang incident during the premier's annual press conference. Wen also refered to the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution - a reference that alluded to Bo's red revival in Chongqing - and said that the city's stellar double-digit economic performance had been the fruits of several administrations and not just Bo's work alone.
On March 15, the state-run Xinhua news service announced that Bo had been dismissed as Chongqing party chief and, almost a month later, he was suspended from the CCP's Central Committee and its Politburo-- the second-highest decision-making body in China -- ahead of investigations for "serious disciplinary violations."
Bo's dismissal is the most sensational political scandal to hit the Chinese Communist Party in recent years.
As a "princeling" - a son of a revolutionary veteran -- Bo was considered a strong contender for promotion into the Standing Committee of the party's Politburo, whose nine members decide how to run China.
But then, things were always likely to be different for the maverick cadre.
His father Bo Yibo, who had a similar relaxed and open style, was imprisoned and tortured during the Cultural Revolution as a "capitalist roader."
His credentials as an economic reformer were cemented during the 1980s when he famously visited the Boeing factory in the United States. Seeing just two planes on the tarmac, Bo senior asked if they were the only planes the factory planned to produce. When he was told that Boeing only made the planes that were on its order books, he immediately saw the problems of China's planned economy which produced goods regardless of whether there was a market or not.
Bo Xilai himself spent five years in jail during the Cultural Revolution and was said to have denounced his father during the tumultuous political upheaval - an action that some argue may have cost him political allies in a culture that strongly values family ties.
After his release, Bo entered Peking University's history department in 1977 and two years later, after gaining a degree, Bo got into the master's degree program in journalism, the first ever, at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
"His top ambition then was to be a Chinese journalist posted overseas," recalls a classmate and close friend of Bo.
After graduation, however, Bo did not pursue his ambition to become a foreign correspondent. Instead, he worked his way up as a local party and government official.
He spent 17 years in Dalian, a charming but gritty coastal city in northeastern China. He became Dalian mayor in 1993 and transformed it into a popular investment and tourism destination.
As early as 1999, Bo was expected to move to Beijing for a ministerial post but his promotion was aborted when he failed to get elected into the Central Committee, the Communist Party's ruling elite.
Bo served as the governor and later party chief of Liaoning, a rust-belt region in northeast China which then boasted of large but mostly money-losing state-owned enterprises. In Liaoning, Bo dealt with high unemployment and endemic corruption.
In 2004, when Bo finally got elected into the elite Central Committee, he moved to Beijing as minister of trade and commerce.
"He was a tough and effective negotiator in terms of defending China's global trade policies and interests," said Wenran Jiang, a professor at the University of Alberta and Bo's former classmate at Peking University.
For decades, Jiang recalled that Bo stood out as one of China's most dynamic and maverick politicians. Instead of reading prepared speeches, for example, he often spoke extemporaneously.
"He would have had a chance to become China's top leader, if China had direct elections. But he shows too much personality and charisma in the post-Mao political culture that emphasizes collective leadership," said Wenfang Tang, a political science professor at the University of Iowa.
During Bo's anti-corruption crackdown, Bo relied mainly on Wang Lijun, a tough and decorated policeman who served as Chongqing's police chief from 2009 to 2011.
The campaign led to thousands of arrests and several executions. Wang was promoted to vice mayor as a reward.
Ironically, it was also Wang who torpedoed Bo's career.
On February 8, Wang was unexpectedly reported to be "on leave" for health reasons. Days later, Wang mysteriously fled into the U.S. consulate in Chengdu, six hours' drive away from Chongqing.
The next day, Wang left the consulate "of his own volition," U.S. officials said, and was taken into custody by security officials.
It remains unclear why Wang attempted to seek refuge in the U.S. consulate and what repercussions his action may have. He has not been heard from or seen in public since fleeing to the embassy. The "Wang Lijun Incident," as the Chinese media called it, led to a murder investigation involving Bo's family.
In April, his wife Gu Kailai and a family aide were detained on suspicion of having murdered British businessman Neil Heywood. Media reports said Wang clashed with Bo after suggesting that Heywood had been poisoned amid a business dispute with Gu -- an allegation that appears in the charges announced in the murder case.
Bo Xilai and his wife have not been seen in public since March and have been unreachable for comment. "Even family members have not been able to see him," said a family friend who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the story.

Himalayan salt cave for relaxation and healing; is there such a thing as a sodium chloride superfix?
By Pamela Fayerman
A man-made salt cave is tucked into a corner of a nondescript North Vancouver strip mall. Its low profile belies the bold claims of health benefits made by its owner.
Fifteen tonnes of pink Himalayan salt, the kind so popular now with chefs, due to its flavour and alluring colour, are everywhere inside the SaltWonder Cave — in huge blocks and bricks on the walls, or crushed into crystals and sprinkled ... Read More …


text: Restaurants from around the nation are demanding more Louisiana alligator says Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board Chairman Harlon Pearce. He credits out-of-state marketing and shows like 'Swamp People' for bringing even more attention to Cajun Cooking and some of the delicacies we enjoy here in Southeast Louisiana. "We can't process enough alligator any longer. Alligator is a very hot commodity, both locally and nationally. And we're getting a lot of international calls as well. It's a hot ticket for the state," Pearce says. "It's a good one because it gives our fisherman something else to make money with." Pearce says the demand for gator is so dramatic, it's impossible to keep up. He says even though they are shipping more and more gator all over the country, Louisiana restaurants get first dibs. It's a strong testament to what a national spotlight can accomplish, Pearce says as "Price to the fisherman on alligator, on carcasses, went from fifty cents a pound to $2.50 a pound overnight," Pearce says. "So our fisherman clearly benefited from the work of the board, and all our hard work and all the national notoriety we got. And that's great news for those who make a living off the swamp, he adds because, "The fact that alligator has now picked up in price that gives them one more thing to add to their ability to make money."

Boys basketball: Chairmen of the boards: Lewisville dominates glass to clinch final playoff spot
By Justin Thomas, email@example.com
FLOWER MOUND - Lewisville attacked the glass with such tenacity Friday that Marcus head coach Clay Cody thought they were outnumbered on the court.
As a result, there will be a new boys basketball champion in Class 5A.
The Farmers scored their first three baskets off offensive rebounds, part of an 11-0 run that saw Lewisville gain a lead they would never relinquish in a 51-44 victory.
"I thought we played a lot harder tonight," said Gary Collier, Lewisville head coach. "On Tuesday, we were doing some good things, but we just weren't making plays. Tonight, they played tough and played to win. We did a good job rebounding the ball and did a fairly decent job on defense. We still have to pick it up on the offensive end, but it was a good victory for us."
Two-time defending state champ Marcus misses out on the postseason for the first time since 2005.
"The kids knew they were undermanned and that there were no expectations but here we are," Cody said. "We're three points from beating Coppell and not even being in this game. We won a big game [Tuesday] to get here and played Lewisville pretty tough tonight. They just got a couple of runs on us and out-manned us. They're very athletic and played with a lot of energy tonight."
Lewisville's advantage on the glass was evident from the jump as the Farmers received a put-back from Caleb Loggins to get their first points before consecutive second-chance baskets and a subsequent 3-pointer from Anthony Davis put the Farmers ahead, 9-2.
Loggins would finish with 15 points and eight rebounds, while Davis recorded 10 points and seven boards. Jaden Wright chipped in five points and eight rebounds along with a pair of momentum-swinging blocks at the rim in the third quarter. As a team, Lewisville outrebounded Marcus, 37-24, and had 18 second-chance points.
"When Gary put his ninth guy on the floor at the time we couldn't keep all of them off," Cody said. "At least it seemed like he had nine on the floor. We had to do a better job of boxing out and taking care of the ball. That was the story right from the start and it was the same in the second half. We couldn't keep them off the boards."
Trailing at the break, 27-23, Marcus opened the third quarter strong on a dunk by Kaden Smith. But Loggins answered with consecutive hoops to push the Lewisville lead back to six and later the Farmers scored the final four points of the quarter for a 37-28 margin.
A Lewisville defense that forced 12 first-half turnovers continued to trouble Marcus with its press in the second half, with Wright and Marquis Williams coming up with steals on inbounds passes leading to a pair of transition buckets. Later in the fourth, Aaron Steele got a put-back of his own to bring the Marauders within six at 41-35 but Kaelin Love and Davis drilled back-to-back triples and all of a sudden the Farmers had their largest lead of the night at 47-35.
"We wanted it to be a full-court defensive game and to pick up early," Collier said. "We did a better job in our press than we did in the man-to-man. We wanted to make them make plays and force them out of their element."
Now Lewisville can focus on the playoffs Tuesday.
"This one was huge because it was our rival," Loggins said. "Last game, we were shooting too much and too early. Today, we really focused on getting the rebounds in case they shots weren't going in again. We have to keep that up and now we have some momentum going into the playoffs."
A Marcus team that features just two senior starters will seek a return to the postseason next year.
"I'm really proud of the kids," Cody said. "They hung tough. They could have folded the tent but they fought hard all year and were very coachable. We played to the very end tonight and they showed a lot of character."

"Bigger is Better: A Case for a Transatlantic Economic Union"
Magazine or Newspaper Article, Foreign Affairs
May/June 2010
Author: Richard N. Rosecrance, Adjunct Professor; International Security Program; Director, Project on U.S.-China Relations
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
After World War II, "trading states" seemed to be charting a new path forward. But small was not beautiful. Even great powers found themselves negotiating larger markets through economic associations with others. It's time the United States became such a power.
Throughout history, states have generally sought to get larger, usually through the use of force. In the 1970s and 1980s, however, countervailing trends briefly held sway. Smaller countries, such as Japan, West Germany, and the "Asian tigers," attained international prominence as they grew faster than giants such as the United States and the Soviet Union. These smaller countries what I have called "trading states" did not have expansionist territorial ambitions and did not try to project military power abroad. While the United States was tangled up in Vietnam and the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, trading states concentrated on gaining economic access to foreign territories, rather than political control. And they were quite successful.
But eventually the trading-state model ran into unexpected problems. Japanese growth stalled during the 1990s as U.S. growth and productivity surged. Many trading states were rocked by the Asian financial crisis of 199798, during which international investors took their money and went home. Because Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and other relatively small countries did not have enough foreign capital to withstand the shock, they had to go into receivership. As Alan Greenspan, then the U.S. Federal Reserve chair, put it in 1999, "East Asia had no spare tires." Governments there devalued their currencies and adopted high interest rates to survive, and they did not regain their former glory afterward.
Russia, meanwhile, fell afoul of its creditors. And when Moscow could not pay back its loans, Russian government bonds went down the drain. Russia's problem was that although its territory was vast, its economy was small. China, India, and even Japan, on the other hand, had plenty of access to cash and so their economies remained steady. The U.S. market scarcely rippled....

Fall in Love with Asia this Fall
September 20th, 2012From Diwali to Chinese New Year, fall and winter in Asia is the best time to experience the most colorful festivals in the world.
By Max Milano
India – Diwali (November 13, 2012)
Diwali has gone global; it's now celebrated from Palo Alto to Paris and everywhere where the Indian diaspora has taken it (including Africa and the Caribbean), but nothing beats experiencing Diwali in India. Known as "the festival of lights," Diwali is one of the most colorful and important celebrations of the Hindu calendar, it commemorates the return of Lord Rama from a 14 year exile and the vanquishing of the demon-king Ravana. The festival is celebrated by lighting earthen diyas (ghee candles), bursting firecrackers and eating traditional Diwali sweets. Most regions in India will try to outdo each other Diwali with extensive light decorations and street festivities. Good areas to celebrate Diwali in India include Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Goa, where they also burn demon effigies. Happy Diwali!
How To Get There: Fly to Delhi for less with Vayama's India flight deals.
Hong Kong – Chinese New Year (February 10, 2013)
Chinese New Year is Hong Kong's biggest festival – only New Year's Eve (Dec 31) comes even close. It runs for three days and marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. 2013 will be the Year of the Snake and most Hong Kongers will celebrate by visiting flower markets and enjoying a traditional new year's feast of fish and dumplings with their family. The festival closes with a huge fireworks display above Hong Kong harbor. Kung Hei Fat Choy!
How To Get There: Fly to Hong Kong for less with Vayama's China flight deals.
Vietnam – TET New Year (February 9 to the 12, 2013)
The TET New Year is Vietnam's biggest celebration. It begins quaintly enough with flower markets, TET decorations and family visits to exchange gifts and red envelopes for luck; then on New Year's Eve nigh, total pandemonium begins. Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and every town in between will compete in making as much noise as possible with fireworks, the banging of gongs and throngs of masked street revelers called Mua Lan (the Lion-Dragon). Grab a gong and join in!
How To Get There: Fly to Ho Chi Minh City for less with Vayama's Vietnam flight deals.
Japan - Merii Kurisumasu! (December 25, 2012)
Yes, Japan is not a Christian country, not even a little. So how come Christmas (or as the locals call it; Kurisumasu) is one of the most colorful celebrations of the year? Leave it to the Japanese to embrace every commercial aspect of western Christmas, sans the Jesus bit. So get ready for bright decorations galore, with every store in Tokyo's posh Ginza district dripping with Christmas lights and stuffed with Santa dolls. Friends exchange gifts and go out for dinner. Since whole Turkeys are hard to get in Japan (and Japanese homes lack large ovens), you will see very long lines at Kentucky Fried Chicken on Christmas Eve! So enjoy the gift giving, have a glass of sake or two with your newly made Japanese friends and dig into your bucket of Colonel Sanders Chicken. Kanpai!
How To Get There: Fly into Tokyo with Vayama's Japan Winter Deals.
South Korea – Hwacheon Sancheoneo Ice Festival (January 7 to the 29, 2012)
One of South Korea's most wintry tows is Hwacheon, whose river freezes solid by January— making it the ideal home for the the annual Hwacheon Sancheoneo (Mountain Trout) Ice Festival. Each day of the festival, 32 tons of mountain trout are released for enthusiastic fishermen try their luck at catching them trough ice holes with traditional lures. Scoring your catch of the day is quite a task in the bone chilling cold, but you can always get a pre-caught and nicely a grilled trout from one of the many outdoor vendors lining the streets of the festival. Mini ice hockey, snow sculpture competitions and other winter sports round up the festivities. Dress warm and join the fun!
How to Get there: Fly into Seoul with Vayama's South Korea flight deals and then take a limousine to Chuncheon, then a bus to Hwacheon.

An Important Message to Newton Relay For Life Supporters from Cheryl Jablonowski, 2013-2014 Newtown Relay Chair
For nine years the Newtown community has supported the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. Together, we've saved lives, made friends, had fun, and come together for the common goal of putting an end to cancer. We've walked together, prayed together, mourned together, and had some downright silly times in between.
During this past year, we have been faced with a tragedy which has united our Newtown family more than ever. Through the sorrow, you were never far from a neighbor willing to share a hug, a story, a tear, or a prayer, and together, we persevered.
During the early stages of planning the 2013 Relay For Life, I was proud and excited to be associated with the 10th anniversary of the Relay For Life of Newtown, and believe me, I had some big plans. Then, in December, my plans and priorities changed. The celebration that I had envisioned now seemed selfish and insignificant, and I honesty did not know how the event could proceed.
With fellow committee members, we discussed what the Relay For Life could be in Newtown . . . and we have decided to postpone the 2013 Relay For Life . . . Click here read the entire message.
FIGHT BACK through research! THIS YEAR, selected Relay event(s) in our community are offering the unique opportunity to participate first-hand in a landmark new study, the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).The American Cancer Society will be enrolling people into CPS-3, a long-term study that will help researchers better identify the lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer. Please spread the word and visit the Cancer Prevention Study-3 website to find an enrollment location near you and for more information about how to participate in research today for a cancer free tomorrow! Dedicate Luminaria bags in honor or in memory of a loved one lost to cancer >>

Kim Coles' Birthday Celebration & show "OH BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!"Kim ColesFriday, January 11, 2013 at 8:00 PM - Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 7:00 PM (PST)North Hollywood, CA |
Event Details
Written and performed by KIM COLES
Directed by Scotch Ellis Loring
Kim Coles, the hilarious star of hit TV shows Living Single, Frasier and In Living Color, stars in an all-new, one-woman show.
Oh But Wait, There's More! chronicles the ebb and flow of her showbiz rise with Hollywood-insider stories, multi-media features and an interpretive dance number that must be seen to be believed!
After Fox's groundbreaking hit comedy Living Single got cancelled, she realized that nothing compares to the free food, personalized parking space, and sweet perks of showbiz success.
As pilot seasons came and went and residual checks all got spent, Kim had to breakdown in order to break through and find true meaning beyond the glitz and glam of the red carpet. Along the way she learned to open the real gifts in life.
With her signature sass and smile and irrepressible, goofy charm, Kim presents a side-splitting show that will make you laugh and inspire you as you find your gifts, too.

One of the benefits of Vegan Butter is that since you're building it up from scratch, you can have full control of what you want it to be. It doesn't have to go down the route of completely replicating traditional butter if you don't want it to. Why would you want to replicate the texture of butter but not necessarily the flavor? Frostings and short doughs such as tart dough, pie crust and shortbread come to mind. You have much more variability in your end result if you can control flavor through your actual fat in addition to other ingredients. Imagine chocolate croissants where the butter is replaced with a fat that has the texture and flavor characteristics of both chocolate and butter. This is the reason I developed Chocolate Vegan Butter. Oh and you can spread it on toast too.

Traditional bakers have been able to create a vast variety of foods over the last several hundred years of baking evolution. It's surprising when you realise that everything form puddings to cakes to cookies vary little in the range of ingredients used. Versatile ingredients such as flour, sugar, fat and eggs make this sort of variation possible. These are the building blocks of pastry. Vegan baking is easy when all you have to worry about is manipulating flour, sugar and fat. So what are we do to do in regards to replacing the almighty egg? There is a legend that the Romans believed in chicken eggs so much, they mixed them into their concrete. To first understand what we need to replicate this building block we need to understand what an egg does in the world of baking.

The more I learn about pastry, the more I realize that European pastry is on a completely different level compared to classic American pastry. My impression is that European pastry is all about introducing flavor depth through manipulating eggs, butter and technique. Croissants, strudel and danish pastries come to mind. American pastry, on the other hand, tends to build off bold flavors with a strong sugar backbone accentuated by spices. Apple pie, cupcakes and cookies come to mind here.
In the quest to become an adept baker, it's important to draw from as many influences as possible. One trick that many American style bakers use to improve flavor depth is taking a cue from European bakers by using cultured European style butter.
How does American style butter differ from European style butter? Let's take a look.

When I began making bread weekly in December 2011, the unvegan version of this bread was the first recipe I tried. After experimenting with serveral other recipes, this was by far my favorite and easily became my go-to weekly recipe. When I went vegan, I knew I had to veganize this one! I am so pleased with how my vegan version turned out and hope you will be too.
Written by Mattie
This vegan Apple Pecan Granola recipe brings on the apple flavor with the help of both apple chunks and apple sauce. Cashew butter forms it's base and packs extra protein so you'll have sustained energy throughout your morning. I go low on the sugar for this same reason and to give the other ingredients a chance to contribute flavor. Nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon work to highlight the apple. Chopped pecans toast during baking and add a welcome nutty crunch. Once you've chosen your preferred apples and baked this granola to perfection you can add it to ice cream, splash it on non-dairy milk or top it with a dollop of non-dairy yogurt.

Several years ago, one of my favorite restaurants, Millennium, in San Francisco had a particular bread spread they would serve with fresh bread, just as you were seated. This particular spread wasn't buttery, but it had a particular creamy buttery oomph that actually made it taste better than butter when it was slathered on your crusty slice. And since it obviously wasn't butter, you could spread on even more without getting funny looks from your Mom across the table. You could run out of it and confidently ask for more, again and again! Then one day they switched over to a fava bean-based spread that was sadly sub par and the bread spread I loved oh so much mysteriously disappeared from existence. This savory bread spread made a lasting impression on me and I knew that one day I would rise to the challenge and create my own rich version.

Ok so I found this Vegan Chocolate Cake recipe online and it was a HUGE hit with my family and friends. It was quite easy to make as well! I've never really been a cake person, in fact I detest the stuff for the most part; but this cake made even me nod in approval. The blend of coffee that I put in the recipe adds to the chocolaty goodness and taste. It's very moist as well. There is a glaze that goes with the cake, but I personally never use it. I think the cake is just fine alone. However, I will add the directions for the glaze in case you guys want to try it.... Enjoy!

Orange Icing is perfect for doughnuts, cookies or cakes such as Rosemary Olive Oil Semolina Cake. It features fresh orange juice that lends a bright burst of flavor, coconut oil to allow it to solidify properly and a touch of vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
Written by HildaJorgensen
These are an incredibly delicious biscuit with just the right amount of sweetness and lots of rich flavours from the almonds and vanilla. My choice of coconut oil for this (and most of my cooking) is the more refined kind, which is refined by filtering it through clay to remove the coconut taste and smell. This gives a 'buttery' flavour and texture to the baked good with all the goodness of coconut oil, but without being overwhelmed by coconut flavours.

Backyard Travel, Asia's most innovative travel company, has today released details of a new tailor-made tour: 'Natural Wonders of Hunan Province' in the South Central Region of China. The personalized trip puts nature lovers in their element with excursions to some of Asia's most breathtaking parks and majestic rock formations.
Bangkok, Thailand (PRWEB) January 25, 2013
The eight-day, seven-night tour begins in Zhangjiajie, located in the Northwest of Hunan Province and takes travelers to the 11,900-acre National Forest Park which is reputed to be the inspiration for the fantasy world Pandora in the 2009 movie Avatar. While at the vast park in Zhangjiajie, travelers will also be able to visit Yellow Stone Village to enjoy spectacular unobscured views of the largest concentration of karst rock formations in the world.
The tour also tests the mettle of travelers with some light trekking around some of the areas' famous trails and tracks. At 'Son of Heaven Mountain' (aka Tianzishan) travelers will take a scenic cable-car ride to the top of the 1,262m mountain to enjoy stunning views of the imposing karsts all around. Travelers will then take 'One Step to Heaven', from a 360 degree viewing platform before moving on to 'The Corridor in The Sky' viewpoint, passing market sellers selling homemade remedies and medicine made from plants available in the province.
While in the park they will also have the opportunity to visit some of the caves that were once upon a time used as hideouts for gangs of thieves, and visit the former wooden house of one such outlaw atop one of the many mountains where travelers can dress up in traditional bandit costumes for photos.
'Heavenly Door Mountain' in Wulingyuan is another stop on the tailor-made tour where travelers can enjoy not only spectacular views from the crest of the 1,500-m-high kart formation, but also from a 60-meter glass-bottomed walkway that shows an 800-m sheer drop.
The tour also includes a two-hour, 17-km rafting adventure around the 150 bends of the Mendong River taking travelers past several waterfalls and limestone caves, and a visit to the Zuolong Gorges for a two-hour adventure walk amongst the narrow gorges and limestone crags that make up a scenic path along a freshwater river.
The journey will conclude in Fenghuang, a town populated with many H'mong people who are easily identifiable due to the range and their brightly colored clothing, and finally with a trip to Dehang, a small village which is an attraction in itself and where travelers will be able to soak up the atmosphere of this old-style Chinese town as well as visit the Liusha Waterfall and sample crab skewers made from the delicious crustaceans that inhabit the river.
"This is a tour designed for anyone who loves the great outdoors," said Backyard Travel's General Manager Maeve Nolan. "Hunan's parks are wonderlands for floraphiles and adventure seekers, and we think this tour provides a perfect balance of experiencing the natural surroundings of the province combined with a cultural experience of interacting with the region's indigenous hill tribes."
