Kale Prep Kitchen Tip
Kale is a garden rockstar and superfood chocked full of antioxidants and vitamins. Check out this simple time-saving tip when using kale in the kitchen (don't miss my kale dance at the end!). :)
Kale & Quinoa Bowl
Here's one more of my favorite kale recipes. I love whipping up this bowl of goodness. It's simple. It's healthy. It's delicious.
Ingredients (all organic)
- 1 bunch kale, stems discarded and leaves torn into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 10 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, quartered
- 1 large tomato, chunked
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked white bean medley
- Sea salt and black pepper
- Place the quinoa and 2 cups water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until water is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms and tomatoes to sauté pan and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden and beginning to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the kale, beans, salt and pepper. Cook, tossing often, until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Serve the vegetables over the quinoa.
I love serving this in a large soup bowl and snuggling up with a blanket…and a gardening magazine. Enjoy!
How to Grill Pizza: Fig & Arugula Pizza with Pancetta
There is something about fall that brings out the domestic goddess in me. I'm obsessed with the decorations, fall gardening, and of course cooking and baking.
I was searching for a fig recipe that would appropriately showcase my little first year fig harvest.
I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to compose my own grilled pizza recipe. Grilling pizza may seem complicated, but it is actually very easy. Plus, a pizza with fig, arugula and pancetta sounds fancy schmacy, but it is extremely simple.
1 cup warm water 2 tsp active dry yeast (I used Rapunzel active dry yeast) 2 tsp sea salt 3 tbsp organic olive oil 3 c whole wheat flour (I used Bob's Red Mill organic wheat flour) 1/4 organic cornmeal (I used Bob's Red Mill organic medium grind cornmeal)
6-8 tbsp fig spread or jam (I used Robert Rothschild all natural, gluten free Roasted Garlic & Fig spread) 8 oz fresh natural mozzarella, sliced 1 bunch washed & rinsed organic arugula
For dough, drop yeast into 1 cup warm water and let it work it's magic for a few minutes. It should foam up a bit. Stir the sea salt and olive oil into the yeast mixture.
Pour the yeast mixture and wheat flour into a food processor with a dough blade or a stand mixer with a dough hook and mix on medium.
You know the dough is mixed properly when the dough ball is thumping around the bowl. If dough is too dry add warm water one tsp at a time, if it is too wet add wheat flour one tsp at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Coat a bowl with olive oil, place the dough in the bowl and cover. Refrigerate for one hour to overnight.
Place pizza stone on grill and preheat grill to 450 degrees.
When ready, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface approximately17 x 10 inches. Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza paddle and transfer dough to paddle.
For toppings, add a thin layer of fig spread on dough. Place mozzarella slices on top of fig spread and transfer dough to the pizza stone inside the grill. Be sure to sprinkle cornmeal on pizza stone for easy transfer. Close lid and grill for 10-12 minutes.
Open grill lid, spread pancetta and fig all over the pizza while it's on the grill. Close lid and grill for 5 more minutes.
Remove pizza from grill onto pizza paddle or cookie sheet. Cover the pizza with arugula and then sprinkle with shaved parmesan.
Enjoy! By the way, the leftovers are even better the next day. Simply place the pizza in a pan on the stovetop and reheat.
Organic Valentine's Cherry Mini Pie
To celebrate the American Pie Council's National Pie Day on January 23 and in preparation for Valentine's Day, I broke out my heart-shaped pocket pie mold and whipped up my famous little cherry pies. The pies are so easy and cute, how can you go wrong? I always feel good about indulging in homemade organic treats (in moderation), and you can't beat the health benefits of cherries!
Ingredients (all organic)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling
16 tablespoons cold butter or vegetable shortening (I use half and half)
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
1/2 to 1 cup pie filling
Egg wash-1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Vanilla ice cream
To Prepare: In a food processor pulse together the flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until combined, about 5 pulses. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 pulses. Add 6 tablespoons ice water and pulse twice. The dough should hold together when squeezed, but should not be sticky. Add 2 more tablespoons ice water if needed (Note: a hand held pastry blender may also be used.) Divide the dough in half, cover, and refridgerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
On a floured surface roll out 1 dough disk into a round 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness. Using the outside of the pocket pie mold, cut out 2 shapes of each side (bottom=full heart and top=heart cut-out) and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat with the second dough disk.
Place a solid heart dough shape in the bottom half of the cutter and genly press the dough into the mold. Fill the center with 1-2 tablespoons pie filling and brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash. Top with a heart cut-out shape and press the top half of the cutter down to seal and crimp the edges of the pie. Remove the pie from the mold and replace on the cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
To Bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the pies with the egg was and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the flling is gently bubbling, 13-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
To Eat: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Mmmmmmmmmmm

Fresh Tomato, Basil, and Garlic Sauce
Plucking ingredients from the backyard to make dinner is such a treat. Call me a garden-geek, but I can't think of anything better than a tomato straight from the garden. Not to mention, tomatoes and tomato products are #16 on the top 30 ANDI superfoods list with a score of 164 – 300!
I've tweaked my tomato sauce recipe and am happy to share it with you:
- 2 pounds ripe roma tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 oregano sprig
- A pinch of chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pound dried organic spaghetti
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, plus whole sprigs for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound organic ground turkey (optional)
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl.
Cut a small "x" on the bottom of each tomato. In batches, place the tomatoes in the boiling water and blanch them for about 30 seconds to one minute, or until the skins are easy to peel away. Remove and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Peel the tomatoes and halve horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds, using your fingers to get them all.
Roughly chop the peeled and seeded tomatoes. Set aside.
Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Heat the olive oil, add the onions and garlic and saute for two minutes. Add the thyme leaves, oregano sprig, and chili flakes and saute until the garlic begins to golden. Add the tomatoes and the sugar and stir well. Lower the heat and simmer slowly until the mixture is fairly dry, about 15 minutes. (Brown turkey meat separately and add before simmering.)
Cook the spaghetti in boiling water until al dente. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Add the parmesan and basil and toss well.
Place in a large pasta bowl and garnish with parmesan and basil sprigs.
Stuffed Patty Pan Squash
I love growing patty pan squash. For something so small, they sure do have big flavor! I stuffed them and paired the dish with sauteed swiss chard for dinner. Fabulous, beyond delicious!
- 2-4 patty pan squash
- 4 slices organic turkey bacon
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 1/2 cup organic bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Herbs of choice (I threw everything in from my garden–oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary, and sage)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Bring one inch of water to a boil in a deep skillet over medium high heat. Add squash, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until a fork can pierce the stem with little resistance. Drain, and slice off the top stem of the squash.
Use a melon baller to carefully scoop out the center of the squash (this is a tad tedious, but well worth it!). Reserve all the bits of squash. Place bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium high heat until brown. Remove bacon to paper towels, and set aside. Saute onion in bacon drippings. Chop the reserved squash bits and saute them with the onion for one minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs. Crumble the bacon and stir into the stuffing along with the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stuff each squash to overflowing with the mixture. Place the stuffed squash in a baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake for 15 minutes or until squash are completely heated through. Voila!
Sauteed Swiss Chard
I'm not sure what took me so long, but the first time I planted swiss chard was the summer 2010. What a treat! Chard is definitely one of the easiest plants to care for and I discovered several different tasty recipes. Win-win!
The first recipe is extremely simple. Try this "go-to" sauteed side dish.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 1 bunch Swiss chard, leaves coarsely chopped (due to the heavy harvest, I had the luxury of discarding the stems and center ribs)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Remove the center stem
Melt butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook for one minute until fragrant. Stir in the chard leaves, and cook until wilted.
Finally, stir in lemon juice and Parmesan cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
I served this swiss chard dish with an organic chicken kabob, my Mom's famous potatoes and onions, and homemade garlic bread. Fantastic!
The added bonus? Swiss chard is #9 on the top 30 ANDI Superfood list.
Organic Sugar Cookie Baking Tips
It just doesn't feel like the holidays until I begin the traditional baking extravaganza! Several years ago I transformed my secret sugar cookie recipe to include all organic ingredients. Just for you, my organic recipe is available here.
Now, it is important to note that organic ingredients behave differently, and baking with them takes a little trial and error.
Here are a few organic sugar cookie tips from Stacy's kitchen:
- It is extremely important that the butter and eggs are room temperature before you begin
- Always SIFT the flour
- Hold back 1/4 – 1/2 cup of the flour mixture and check the consistency of the dough. You should be able to form a dough ball without the dough sticking to your hand (too wet) or crumbling (too dry)
- Don't over mix after the flour is added
- Be sure to roll out the dough, cover in saran wrap, and place in the fridge for at least one hour before using the cookie cutters. This will cut down on dough handling.
Stay tuned for more organic sugar cookie tips.
Happy Holidays!
Presto Pesto
A good pesto begins with fresh organic basil. You don't need a green thumb to grow your own basil, it's easy! Basil is an annul herb that can be planted in organic vegetable gardens, containers, or hanging baskets. It needs well-drained, rich soil and does best in sunny locations. Soil that has been mixed with organic compost will help ensure vital, fragrant herbs.
As a companion plant, basil will help protect tomato plants by repelling fruit flies, aphids and spider mites. It also protects against the nasty tomato hornworm. I have found that my tomatoes have a delicious basil taste when the herb is grown in proximity. Pruning the sides and tops of the plants frequently, every 2 – 3 weeks, will encourage a bushy plant and maximize production. Pinch the tops directly above two small leaves, leaving enough foliage for continued healthy growth.
Basil is a wonderful source of vitamins K, A, and C, iron, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and potassium. Basil is a heart healthy herb, working to prevent free radicals and build-up in the arteries. The magnesium helps blood vessels to relax encouraging blood circulation.
Try this simple pesto recipe and take advantage of the health benefits of organic basil.
3 cups fresh basil
4 cloves fresh garlic
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup roasted or raw pine nuts
Salt and pepper
Pulse pine nuts and garlic in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add basil and Parmesean cheese. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while mixing, blend to a smooth paste. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Use the pesto as a marinade, with grilled veggies, instead of pizza sauce, in omelets, in white lasagna, and on pasta.
I split the leftover pesto into four servings and popped them in the freezer for a ready-to-go meal in minutes. I'm also excited to try freezing the leaves directly in ice cube trays now to use while cooking this winter. The benefits of growing your own organic groceries are endless, enjoy!
Cucumber Salad
I'm starting to harvest from the kitchen garden every day! I recently prepared a wonderful dinner starring cucumber salad.
1 large cucumber
1 red onion
1 Tbsp fresh dill
3/4 c distilled white vinegar
1/2 c filtered water
1/2 c organic sugar
Organic sea salt and pepper
I know that cucumber skin contains curcurbatacin which can cause digestion challenges for some people, so I peeled the cucumber completely and then sliced it. In a medium bowl, mix the slices with the salt and set aside. Chop the onion and add to the cucumber mixture. In a separate bowl, combine vinegar, water, sugar, dill, and pepper. Add the liquid mixture to the cucumber and onions until the desired consistency is achieved.
I collected additional dill, basil, thyme, and leaf lettuce from the garden, mixed in broccoli slaw, and topped with the cucumber salad. I dressed baked potatoes with organic cheese and sour cream, then added garlic chives straight from the garden. We grilled organic turkey burgers made with onions and more herbs from the garden as well.
Ahhhh, the taste of summer!
3-D Flower Cookie
I love this cookie cutter set! Using the doe from my organic sugar cookie recipe, I cut out eight petals, one bumble bee, and one flower. I baked the petals and bumble bee separate because I knew the smaller cookies would bake much faster than the large flower.
I frosted each cookie and let them dry, then used icing to "glue" the petals and bumble bee to the flower.
This stackable cookie was a perfect gift for the hostess at a Spring Fling Garden Party I attended.
Organic Turkey Meatloaf
I have been a flexitarian for as long as I can remember. I choose to be a flexitarian for the health of it (my body & the planet!). The reason for my food choices include:
- I absolutely love raw organic vegetables and find myself leaning more and more toward raw food.
- I find it difficult to consume enough protein following a vegetarian diet. So I primarily choose wild caught fish and seafood (I LOVE sushi), I will eat free range organic fowl, rarely ingest organic pork, although I never eat red meat.
- I will only eat fish, fowl, and animal products if I know where it came from and under what condition it was raised.
- I am a locavore commited to eating local food as much as possible.
- I like to eat out on occasion and don't obsessively worry about the options in moderation.
- I adore gardening, cooking, and baking. It feels so wonderful to prepare organic food to enjoy with the fam!
I will post recipes that I really enjoy and think you will too!
2 large organic onions chopped
2 tablespoons organic coconut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground organic pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/3 cup organic Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup organic chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons organic tomato paste
3 pounds free range ground turkey breast
1 cup plain dry organic bread crumbs
2 extra-large organic eggs
3/4 cup organic ketchup
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a medium saute pan, over medium-low heat, cook the onions, coconut oil, salt, and pepper until translucent but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, tomato paste, and thyme and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature (I threw it in the fridge to speed up the process).
Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven along with the meatloaf will help keep it moist and keep the top from cracking.)
I decided to serve the meatloaf atop a heap of organic mashed potatoes (one of my favorite foods EVER), with organic steamed broccoli, garnished with fresh thyme.
I made enough meatloaf to feed an army because I knew "the ONE" would love the leftovers. I made him hot meatloaf sandwiches with organic provolone cheese. I toasted homemade organic bread that the neighbor brought over (YUMMY, I need to get that recipe from her!). The sandwiches were excellent and I earned major points with him. (My evil plan worked because in return I will need his help in the garden-heehee.)
The Good Life as a flexitarian Enjoy.
Stacy's Organic Sugar Cookies
I love baking! I believe that enjoying homemade organic treats in moderation is perfectly acceptable because I feel good about where it came from and what's in it.
My favorite treat is definitely sugar cookies. I love making the cookies for holidays, special occasions, and "thank you" packages. I've spent years tweaking my recipe, and I've decided to share it with you; please keep it to yourself!
Organic Sugar Cookies
- 4 cups sifted organic unbleached all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- 1 teaspoon aluminum free baking powder
- 2 sticks organic unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons organic shortening
- 2 cups organic sugar
- 2 large organic eggs
- 2 teaspoons organic pure vanilla
- 1 teaspoons natural almond extract
- In a large bowl, sift flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddple attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture, and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Divide dough into three sections, wrap in plastic wrap, and roll with a rolling pin so plastic is tight and dough is even. Chill until firm, at least one hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Have ready several baking sheets. Remove dough from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature to temper slightly. (This prevents dough from cracking.)
- Dust the workspace with flour, roll dough to a scant ¼ inch thickness. Cut dough into desired shapes and place on baking sheets. I recommend placing the baking sheet back into the refrigerator to harden for a few minutes prior to baking. Bake 12-15 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Cool on wire racks.
Organic Icing
- 1 pound organic powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons powdered egg whites
- ½ cup filtered water
- Natural food coloring
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine first three ingredients on low speed. Mix until fluffy yet dense, 7-8 minutes.
- To color icing, mix in very small amounts of food coloring and build until desired color is achieved.

Oktoberfest Munich 2012 Dates: Sept 22 – Oct 7.
Oktoberfest in Munich starts Saturday, September 22, 2012, and ends Sunday, October 7, 2012. The Munich Oktoberfest originally took place during the sixteen days up to and including the first Sunday in October. In the United States, it is often thought that Oktoberfest only occurs during the month of October, while traditionally it has to start in September to include the first weekend of October.
Oktoberfest is one of the most famous events in Germany and a celebration of Bavarian culture, food and drink. It is the world's largest fair attended by more than 5 million people. The Oktoberfest has been held since 1810 in Munich. Many other cities across the world also hold festivals modeled after the German Oktoberfest, with attendees wearing lederhosen and dirndls while drinking German beer and eating German food.

Downtown North residents voiced concerns about potential parking problems related to the proposed development of the Lytton Gateway building during a meeting with developers Tuesday. Related stories:

The developers said earlier to the City Council, and again at this meeting, that they originally planned a smaller building that would "come in under the radar."
It was Steve Emslie and Curtis Williams who encouraged them to build big, they said. Emslie is the former Manager of Planning, now the Assistant City Manager.
Posted by Janet, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on May 3, 2012 at 6:55 pm
This massive new building will open the flood gates to more massive commercial buildings being built in downtown PA. University Ave will be a very different downtown when all we have is gigantic buildings looming down on the street. No sun will reach the street and it will be a very unfriendly walking area. Shame on the city for allowing this type of project to be built. I bet the developers can't believe they got this project approved by the city. They must be laughing their heads off.
Posted by mmmMom, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on May 3, 2012 at 8:16 pm
This is such a failure of urban planning. Alma is going to be a hideous, tunnel like street - resembling the disaster of "modern" architecture in post-war eastern Germany. Besides Gateway, the super-super-low-rent housing @ Alma & Homer will be another nail in the coffin of our town's charm. Shame.
Posted by mom, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on May 3, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Janet, I agree completely. The look of the area is becoming so sterile with the new, huge offices.
Posted by Crooked Boyd Smith, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on May 3, 2012 at 8:37 pm
The developoers, Boyd Smith and his son are ruthless. The only thing they care about is money. I wonder who they paid "under the table," at city hall, to get this project approved.
Posted by Phil, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on May 3, 2012 at 10:25 pm
I think it's going to be a great addition to the neighborhood. So much better than a run down gas station.
Posted by All Along, a resident of the Charleston Meadows neighborhood, on May 3, 2012 at 10:36 pm
Developers have been on the 'inside' with city staff and council members for a long time. Who knows what is discussed behind the closed door sessions with developers at city hall. Money talks regardless of what citizens want. That's just the way it is.
Posted by Jeff, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on May 3, 2012 at 11:23 pm
I'm not familiar with the cost of downtown commercial property ... wouldn't $1.5M buy maybe 3,000 sq ft of land with no money to develop it? Rather than money in lieu of parking, our city should simply require the developer to provide parking! Why should the city hire a developer to create parking for the first developer.
Posted by Larry, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on May 6, 2012 at 10:32 pm
I think anything would be better than the empty dirt lot that it is now. I welcome a new office building there; it'll bring more life to the city and more customers to the businesses in the downtown core. Of course they should add in sufficient parking spaces into the building plan - that's only common sense.
BUT - I really object to resident parking permits in my neighborhood. Where are all the people who work downtown meant to go park? They'll no longer be able to park in Professorville or here in downtown north - where are they going to go? They have to get to and from their jobs and the residents seemingly haven't even thought about these poor people. They're just trying to make a living. They keep our city alive. These are hardworking people - office workers, chefs, waiters, shopkeepers - why are we punishing them for the success of our downtown? We reap the benefits of having such great amenities right on our doorstep but don't want to deal with the consequences. Just a load of NIMBY whinging.
Honestly, the parking situation here isn't even that bad. I rarely if ever have a problem finding a parking space. Moreover, many houses and apartment buildings have off-street parking in our neighborhood. The streets are a shared space and the whiny residents who are complaining about parking should learn to share.

José, a reader of Simple Spanish Food, has asked if we know of any U.S. sources for cordero lechal, milk-fed lamb (a.k.a. suckling lamb, baby lamb, spring lamb).
According to the Spanish food site Directo al Paladar, a cordero lechal is a lamb that has been slaughtered at around one month old. It weighs around 13 pounds (6 kilograms) and has consumed nothing but ewe's milk .
Cordero lechal is prized in Spain because it is delicate in flavor and has none of the "gamey" taste of older lamb or mutton. Cordero lechal is also low in fat and very tender. In the picture above (credit to the article "Lechazo asado" from Wikipedia en español), you can see in the foreground uncooked sides of cordero lechal. Notice the light color of the meat. This light color is also typical of cordero lechal.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post on grilled lamb chops, whole roasted baby lamb, cordero lechal asado, is traditionally served on Christmas Eve in Spain, but it may also be served on any special occasion.
In Spain there is also cordero recental, lamb slaughtered at around 30 pounds (15 kilos). Cordero recental has consumed grass and feed as well as milk. It has a stronger flavor, higher fat content, and slightly darker meat, but it is still mild, low in fat, and tender by U.S. lamb standards.
Cordero pascual is lamb slaughtered between 4 to 12 months of age. Cordero pascual has red meat, high fat content, and a pronounced "lamb" taste.
Almost all of the lamb available in the U.S. would be classified as cordero pascual in Spain. Because there is such a big difference between cordero lechal and cordero pascual, one can't really substitute for the other.
Back to José's question: is there a source for cordero lechal here in the U.S.?
To my knowledge, no.
According to Wikipedia's article on lamb and mutton, milk-fed lamb is almost never available in the U.S. or the U.K. It is considered to be uneconomical. I have searched for cordero lechal with no luck.
I suspect it would be necessary to go directly to someone who raises lamb to obtain cordero lechal here in the U.S. Baby goat, cabrito, may be easier to find. It's probably the best substitute.
I will keep searching. If anyone knows a source in the U.S.A. for cordero lechal, please let us know.
Until then, cordero lechal asado is yet another reason to visit Spain.

1. | the north | ||
Please do not listen to what people like Midwesternsoldier says THAT IS PURE IGNORANCE.
No.1 Their is the Northeast; The Midwest; and the Pacific Northwest, The Pacific Northwest is not known as the North The Midwest is comprised of 12 states NOT KENTUCKY DAMN!!!!! You seem to be so determined to include Kentucky as the north/Midwest it's sickening. The Ohio River definition you gave stating "The Ohio River seperates Kentucky and West Virginia from the rest of the Midwest" is purely ignorant. Any logical person would see that the Ohio River is the true diver between the North and South. Hell I don't know why you even want to be Midwestern for THEY DON'T EXCEPT US AS THEIR REGION unlike the South. HEll they don't even want to claim the SOuthern region of their state that touches Kentucky, because it's so much more Southern than Midwestern. Even back during the Civil War Lincoln feared that he would have to fight off Southern Il, IN, And OH because they had such a Southern bond with a Southern state Kentucky. Kentucky did not succeed from the Union in it's best interest after all it is boarding 3 Midwestern states. Kentucky surely would have been burned to ashes, Just look at how fast they took Tennessee. If you have ever seen the PBS speacial "Do You Speak American" "Southern Addition" the narrator was sailing on a boat in the Ohio River to emphasize that the Southern accent not only ingulfs Kentucky but even extends across the River into Southern Indiana,Illinois, and Ohio. So please do me and everyone else a favor open your eyes and relize that you are on the Southern side of the Mason Dixon Line (Kentucky) making you a Southerner. No.2 The South is not only the most populated region in the Nation but is also the fastest growing region in the Nation, Hell the South is growing faster than the Midwest and Northeast combined and it comprises of 16 states Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georiga, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, KENTUCKY, Virginia, Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virgina, Maryland and Delaware THIS IS THE OFFICIAL DEFINTION Also MidwesternSoldier I forgot if this was your comment or not, But it stated that "those Hicks in Owensboro don't realize what region their in," If Kentuckians don't act Midwestern, or like a person from "The North" than why are you trying to categorize MY state as Midwestern, When it's "SOUTHERN." More specifically Mid- Southern along with North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia in my and most other opinions.
2. | The North | ||
The North of England (not to be confused with the North as in America) The People of the North are the friendliest of the British people albeit we do suffer from an extensive population of scumbags thanks to mass unemployment. Despite generating the vast majority of Britains wealth from the industrial revolution to its decline in the 1900s the government has seen fit to rape and destroy the working man of the North. The north holds the vast majority of the U.Ks natural beauties and one day with the aid of Scotland and Wales will invade the south and destroy every posh Tory cunt inhabiting the shithole known as the London Regenald: Oh im awfully bored!
Clement: Oh I know lets skull fuck The North! Regenald: OH WONDERFUL!!! Fred Dibnah: The hell you will! come on William Wallace lets take London! As we know the souther ponces would suffer heavy casualties at the hands of true Northern men |
3. | the north | ||
The northern half of the United States, pretty much any region where the only people who say y'all are african american. A region of the United States that has less obesity,violent crime,poverty,and divorce than "The Bible Belt" i.e. The South. A region of the United States where people don't have the need to brag about how Godfearing and patriotic they are or how more American they are. A region of the United States that has a temperate 4 season climate, where it isn't scorching, unbearably hot much of the year. A region of the United States that contains it's largest,most productive cities and metro areas (yes, L.A. most deffinantly is not a southern city, and California is not The South.) The North has tremendous diversity in everything from politics to ethnic and racial groups contrary to what some southerners whine about. Massachusetts has had republican governors,no democrat, non-stop for the past 20 years, has a low crime rate, and the lowest divorce rate in the country. Fuck that fat drug addict,confirmed bachelor Rush Limbaugh. The cities with the lowest crime rates are in New Jersey,Conn,Cali, and Mass. The states with the highest crime rates,divorce rate,poverty,low sat scores,and obesity are southern. The North is cool/cold in the winter,cool/warm in spring and fall, and hot in the summer. The North has a high population density, it's crowded. The state with the highest casualty rate in the Iraq War and it's aftermath is Vermont, not a southern state. New York City had a higher rate/proportion of it's young men in the army during vietnam than any southern city. My father is from The South and managed to escaped.
4. | The North | ||
a region that encompasses a full half of the United States. It now runs from Alaska and the coastlines of Washington and Oregon, all the way to the eastern shores of Maine and Massachusetts. This region has always had a higher population that the South, Southwest, or Canada. New York City is the still the largest metropolis with a population of about 8 million people. Other big cities include: Seattle,WA Portland,OR Boise,ID Billings,MT Denver,CO Sioux Falls,SD Omaha,NE Topeka,KS Kansas City,MO St. Louis,MO Des Moines,IA Twin Cities,MN Quad Cities,IA/IL Madison,WI Milwaukee,WI Chicago,IL Peoria,IL Springfield,IL Indianapolis,IN Evansville,IN Louisville,KY Cincinnati,OH Columbus,OH Dayton,OH Cleveland,OH Grand Rapids,MI Detroit,MI Erie,PA Pittsburgh,PA Allentown,PA Philadelphia,PA Baltimore,MD Wilmington,DE Washington,D.C. Newark,NJ Jersey City,NJ Albany,NY Rochester,NY Buffalo,NY Bridgeport,CT Hartford,CT Providence,RI Boston,MA Springfield,MA Worcester,MA Portland,ME and Manchester,NH.
Some of the best accents in the world (manner of speaking) are all throughout the North, with the most famous being Boston Urban, New Joysey, NYC, Ohio Brogue, Chicago Urban, Midwestern nasal twang, and South Midwest "rural" nasal twang. Every race in the world are in various parts of the North, especially NYC and Chicago. All ethnicities and nationalities reside within these giant cities, as these are cultural, cosmopolitan areas where they all meet. This is the region that won the Civi... |

A place in Britain known to be grim. I went up to the North last week, they still don't have tarmac roads up there!
6. | The North | ||
A place where people think they are more educated than southern people, and feel that just because they have a larger population they are a higher class people.Most of the north is completely liberal and think that being a queer is okay and that you should have a parade if you are.It's also a place where most people lack morales and believe killing innocent babies is a person's choice.And the only hopeful thing to come out of the North is Rudolph Giuliani. The North is a cold version of California.

Wide variety. This place is so much cheaper than Berkeley Optometry which is where I have been going for years. They also have a wide variety of glasses to choose from and they constantly have deals like buy one get one free. If you have anthem blue shield, you also get a discount.
So far so good. So far, so good. After several trips to fancier and more expensive boutiques, I wandered into Site For Sore Eyes. Found a fun and stylish German frame at half off, handed over my prescription, was fitted on the spot, and will have the frames in a few days. Plus, because I was unsure about the color, Paul has ordered the same frame in a different palette. If I prefer them, I can exchange them for the pair I bought. . . . And that's not all: they are currently running a two for one promotion. I can choose a frame from their limited selection of cheapie frames and get a second pair for free. Or I can have new lenses put into my old frames. Seems like a good deal to me.
I absolutely love the selection and service at the Berkeley Site for Sore Eyes!! They are always very helpful in finding me glasses that accentuate my best features. I have been going to them for over 8 years, and they never fail to impress me. I would highly recommend them to all.
I picked up two pairs of glasses this afternoon, and was truly impressed with the quality and fit of them. Although they are not the cheapest eyeglass store, they are the best, and they provide a very generous replacement service, as well as lenses which carry a lifetime warranty against scratches. If you are looking for prescription glasses, I would definitely suggest that you check them out first.
Oh, and my glasses were ready three days sooner than they said they would be. Excellent!
Satisfied. I just used Site for Sore Eyes for the third time. As before, I am quite satisfied. They were friendly and competent, had a wide selection, the price was good. The doctor making my prescription was very careful and thorough. Everything was fine.
happy customer. I am a happy Site for Sore Eyes customer. I had issues with my glasses, and, as they were under warranty, I got them replaced. However, when the issue happened again, I thought I was out of luck. However, Paul, the manager (owner?) sensing my frustration, went over and above to make matters right. Hopefully he can even talk the manufacturer into doing their part. Paul can seem brash as he is from New York and he tends to "cut right to the chase". Some folks in easy going Berkeley can take him the wrong way. However, I think he is a fair and decent guy and is really concerned that his customers are happy so they keep coming back. After all, there are many places that can sell glasses. I judge and optical center on how they treat you after they make the sale. Thumbs up to Site For Sore Eyes. I also really liked the optometrist.
Great Service.
I was pretty happy with the service I received here. They had a pretty good selection of frames compared to LensCrafters.
Everyone was pretty helpful and they were easy to get an appointment with. They were able to retrofit my current frames no problem.
I love my glasses.
I have had great success in Site for Sore Eyes, Berkeley. The manager/owner, I think his name is Paul, is an excellent salesman who always finds the right glasses that fit me. As a guy, I need someone who can be straight with me if they look right. He is, and he doesn't hard sell it. He also stands by his word. I have returned glasses more than once and he happily accepts them.
But this year he topped himself: he encouraged me to buy a pair I felt were a little stretch for me. WHen I got home, everyone thought they were outstanding on me. I went back and shook his hand thank you.
But 2 months later someone rolled over them destroying them. I did not buy insurance and he did not have the same pair to replace it. I replaced them with a similar design but not quite as dynamic. He sold them to me at cost, and threw in insurance on this pair. When I seemed still dissatisfied, he offered to see if he couldn't get another pair like mine-they required a special order-and if he could he'd exchange them for the new version. After a few weeks I gave up that it would happen, but one day I got a call and he had managed to get a pair. I went in and he happily exchanged them for the replacement frames. this was beyond the call of duty. I love my glasses. I think this guy is legit. I will continue to get my glasses there.
Extremely Positive Experience.
I had an extremely positive experience with SFSE -- it was definitely the best experience I've ever had in a glasses place.
I only went there because the place down the block, For Eyes, (which I went to 5 times looking for frames,) didn't have frames that I liked.
I told Paul that I'm very picky about frames and in fact may be a "problem customer." He said, "Problem customers are my specialty" and was So Helpful in helping me pick out frames.
The glasses were ready the next day! - as promised. I didn't like the decision I made to get "smart glasses" (which automatically transition to sunglasses) and again, as promised, they changed them to regular glasses - the next day! In the mail I received a $25 coupon, which I put towards my 2nd pair of glasses - which are free if you get a single lens, but I got them as progressives so there is additional cost for that. I really like the 2nd pair too and they were also ready - the next day!
My clip-on sunglasses arrived a couple of weeks later.
I dealt mostly with Bill after picking out the frames and I found him very knowledgeable, helpful and conscientious.
I highly recommend Site for Sore Eyes in Berkeley.
great frame retailer.
Site For Sore Eyes is a great frame retailer. I had my exam down the street but found the selection there to be less than satisfactory. I came here, was offered help and found the frames that I wanted. They have a frame for everybody and great staff to help you choose it.
And because of their sale I ended up getting the best deal in town!
Best Glasses Buying Experience. Can't say more positive things about these guys. Broke my old glasses,they got me in right away, were incredibly helpful finding the right frame (soo many to choose from), made them right away and I even got a 2nd pair (so I won't have this problem again) FREE. The price I thought was more than fair considering the great service and friendly staff. I, for one am happy and will definately go there again.

GovTrack's Bill Summary
We don't have a summary available yet.
The bill's title was written by the bill's sponsor. H.R. stands for House of Representatives bill.
We don't have a summary available yet.
The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.
The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
This summary can be found at http://www.gop.gov/bill/113/1/hr316.
According to the Energy & Commerce Committee, FERC had previously issued the licenses for the redevelopment of hydropower at the Upper and Lower Collinsville Dams in Connecticut. The dams have been shut down since the mid-1960s. In 2007, FERC announced that the licenses would be terminated because the developer had not commenced construction. The town of Canton, Connecticut is requesting that the licenses be reinstated and transferred to them so that they can move ahead with the projects. (See Committee Report 113-7.)
Note: Nearly identical legislation, H.R. 5625, passed the House in the 112th Congress under suspension on June 26, 2012. For further background, please see here.
H.R. 316 authorizes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to reinstate two terminated hydroelectric licenses for the Upper and Lower Collinsville Dams on the Farmington River in Connecticut and to transfer those licenses to the Town of Canton, Connecticut.
According to CBO, because FERC recovers its costs through user fees, H.R. 316 would have no net budgetary impact. H.R. 316 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference's summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That's because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We'll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
The bill contains the following citations to other parts of U.S. law:
The United States Code is the compilation of permanent laws enacted by Congress. Temporary and other non-permanent laws do not appear in the United States Code. (About half of the United States Code is the law itself, called positive law. The other half is merely a compilation of the laws but has no legal significance.)

Latest news
Among them is a new approach used by pay day loan phone scammers, who have been targeting individuals for the last three years:
The scam involves victims being relentlessly contacted at their residences and places of employment regarding claims they are delinquent on a payday loan. Various coercion techniques have been used by the subjects in an attempt to persuade the victim to send money. Such techniques have evolved from repeated annoying phone calls to abusive language, threats of bodily harm, and arrests.
The IC3 has become aware of increased coercion tactics used by the subjects, which have created a threat to emergency services across the nation. The threats have now escalated into a Telephony Denial of Service (TDoS) attacks against the victims' employers, which some have been emergency service agencies.
The TDoS attacks have tied up the emergency services' telephone lines, preventing them from receiving and responding to legitimate emergency calls.
The other tactic the subjects are now using in order to convince the victim that a warrant for their arrest exists is by spoofing a police department's telephone number when calling the victim. The subject claims there is a warrant issued for the victim's arrest for failure to pay off the loan. In order to have the police actually respond to the victim's residence, the subject places repeated, harassing calls to the local police department while spoofing the victim's telephone number.
The task force also warns about a new twist to the online tech support scam, warning that some users experienced and reported their computer screen turning blue and eventually black prior to receiving the scammy Tech Support call.
"At this time, it has not been determined if this is related to the telephone call or if the user had been experiencing prior computer problems," says the IC3, but users are all the same advised to be wary of such "coincidences."
The list of the most popular passwords in 2012 hasn't changed much - as in the previous year, password, 123456 and 12345678 occupy the first three spots, followed by the likes of qwerty, letmein, 111111 and iloveyou. New entires in the list include jesus, welcome, ninja, mustang and password1.
For more details about how to chose a good password and about other scams that have targeted users in the past few months - including an advanced fee scam that invokes the IC3 for legitimacy - check the task force's report.

Don't worry, there'll be another religion along in a minute.
as long as you are into MYTH and SUPERSTITION, why not?
"NONE" is a better choice. Much more "RATIONAL" -
We've got the religion of entitlement that seems very popular.
Why must troll a comic like this? I'm not into sports, but I don't go and abuse the people reading Tank MacNamara. You're a BULLY.
No, probably not. What was the last really new one? Aside from the Church of Warmingology?
Not "none" in relation to religion, just "none" in affiliation to any religion but still claim being spiritual. That is a big difference.
There are dozens every day. A bit like idolising a character from an ancient sci-fi comedy.
There might be fewer nuns—but I suspect there will always be some.
gee penny – maybe someone should tell you to examine your belief structure. I'm into REALITY myself. You are entitled to be into ANYTHING you please (and I'm entitled to make snarky comments – I seem to remember that you are rather "right wing", too – it fits.) I suppose I'm a follower of the Flying Spaghetti Monster myself (R'amen be unto you)

Police in Indiana are investigating the apparent abduction and sexual assault of a teen, while saying another teen made up her story of being attacked.
Officers said an 18-year-old woman told them late Tuesday that she was forced into a black pickup truck in Decatur County by two men and driven to a remote area, where she was sexually assaulted and then let go.
Investigators said the incident happened outside a Walmart store. Detectives were checking parking lot surveillance to see if they could find anything.
But on Thursday, police said that Tina Anne Dixon, the woman who made the report, was charged with false reporting.
Police received a call Wednesday morning from a woman who said her 13-year-old girl was abducted and assaulted while walking to school.
The girl had missed her bus and was walking to school in an alley in Greensburg when a black pickup with a loud muffler drove up, police said. Two men in the truck offered her a ride, but the passenger got out and forced her into the vehicle when she declined their offer.
The teen said the men fondled her as they drove and then took her back to the alley.
The younger girl said one of the men was overweight, with brownish-gray hair and a goatee. The other man was tall, bald and had a mustache.
She said both men appeared to be in their 50s.
The mother of the 13-year-old victim spoke with News 5's Courtis Fuller about the attack.

If we had not already published our eight best cities for street food article, we'd have to seriously consider finding a way to include Malaysia's meat bone tea.
In the Spring 2009 issue of Utne Independent Press Award nominee Meatpaper, Robyn Eckhardt traces the roots of this "seductive combination of tender pork meat, stomach and intestines, and fragrant broth that varies from mild and meaty to unmistakably medicinal."
Meat bone tea, or bak kut, Eckhardt writes, "is comfort food of the first order, with an appetite-rousing aroma and luxurious amounts of fatty meat unfettered by vegetable distractions."
For more from the current issue of Meatpaper, see Utne Reader librarian Danielle Maestretti's picks in the latest episode of Shelf Life.
