On Hollywood's biggest night, the stars of Tinseltown give the word "tinsel" a whole new meaning with megawatt jewels dripping from their lobes, wrists and necks. In honor of the 86th Academy Awards (just less than a week away!), we took a look back at the biggest sparklers that shone the brightest from the red carpet last year—and rendered it into a quiz. Which jewelry designers did Naomi Watts and Charlize Theron turn to accent their couture floor-grazing columns? And from the opposite direction, which Oscar nominee accessorized with a Chopard string of diamonds? Or, looked to Fred Leighton to amp up her shine? Put your wits to the test and pair the celebrity with her million-dollar counterpart.

b. Sally Field
c. Anne Hathaway
d. Amy Adams

North American Chinese Food: Nothing to Scoff At
Emmy Award-winning Chef Ming Tsai, owner of Blue Ginger Restaurant in Wellesley, Massachusetts, once described American Chinese food as "adapted … to be blander, thicker, and sweeter for the American public."
Accordingly, if a menu serves "chop suey" ("fried vegetables and 'some protein' in a thick sauce") and a multiplicity of seemingly regional Chinese cuisines (Hunan, Szechuan, Cantonese, etc.), you are dining in a North American Chinese restaurant. Dishes are likely not "authentic."
North American Chinese dishes seem optimized to be prepared quickly with just a wok, either stir fried or deep fried. Many can be easily "held" or cooked from frozen.
Native Chinese dishes feature fresh meat and seafood. They incorporate prized "choy" (greens) like gai lan (Chinese broccoli). Depending on the region, native dishes can be poached, braised, steamed, roasted, or baked to produce balances of contrasting flavours and textures.
Dishes like General Tso's chicken, wonton soup, hot and sour soup, sweet and sour pork, chicken balls, ginger beef, crispy beef, egg rolls, and lemon chicken are foreign fare in China. Native Chinese versions of beef and broccoli, egg foo young, and even fried rice differ markedly from what is familiar in Canada or the United States.
The word "cuisine" comes from the French language, denoting a style of cooking that produces food characteristic of a country or region. Unlike Tsai, many look upon North American Chinese food as a cuisine; something that arose due to immigrants having to adapt to readily available ingredients and local appetites.
And, North American Chinese food can be made well.
Still, I find North American Chinese food overwhelming: too sweet, too oily, too much. That is until one of Ottawa's longstanding purveyors of "General Tso", crispy beef, "pepper salt squid", and (Hunan) dumplings took over Mellos on Dalhousie (290) for an evening.Remember this past summer's Chef's Playground, hosted by California taco purveyor Jon Reilley-Roe? Every Sunday, he invited local chefs to prepare and serve their takes on the taco at his cinder block shack turned taqueria, called Tacolot (999 Wellington Street W.). Proceeds went to local charitable causes. Well, with Tacolot having no enclosed dining room, Reilly-Roe now slings his tacos at its sister location on Gladstone (707), Hang 10.
Chef's Playground has also moved indoors with Reilley-Roe partnering with Martin Fremeth, owner of Mellos. On Mondays, guest chefs partner with "After Dark" chef Mike Franks and sous David Reed for takeovers. Already, Chefs Simon Bell of Oz Kafe (361 Elgin Street) and Chris Tache and Joe O'Shaughness of Chez Eric took over the kitchen at the 70s era diner that opened in the 40s.
Two Mondays ago, restaurateur Ruby Luc of Mekong (637 Somerset Street W.) collaborated with Franks and Reed to serve a North American Chinese themed multi-course dinner ($22.95 per person).
Course 1:
Course 2:
[Prodigiously crusted pork-filled dumplings with fried shallots, peanut sauce, and soy scallion sauce.]
Course 3:
[Gently breaded and freshly fried crisp to order, Franks' take on Mekong's General Tso's chicken reminded me of Japanese "popcorn" chicken served at ramen noodle houses and izakayas, called karaage.]
Course 4:
Course 5:
[Chinese feasts often include several communally-served courses, culminating in a fried rice or noodle dish. It is fitting Franks' ode to Mekong multi-course ended with noodles to ensure guests do not leave hungry. It was a revelation to me this traditionally meat-laden dish worked so well with the house pickled mustard greens. The greens' fermented tang cut the noodles' savouriness and oil.]
What Franks' interpretations of Mekong's most popular dishes demonstrated to me is moderation. While slightly chef-y, North American Chinese Food does not have to be overwhelming if well plated. The best example is the karaage-reminiscent General Tso' chicken. Fried crisp, pieces weren't dripping in an overly rich or cloyingly sweet sauce.Ruby echoed my observations, pointing out Franks is very knowledgeable about oriental food. Twice, she told Fremeth she was going to steal him for her restaurant, only half joking.
"He knows more about Chinese food than I do," laughed Ruby. "He eats chiles like crazy. He even uses a cleaver!"
She then told me the story of Mekong. I was taken aback by how she and her husband established the venerable restaurant in 1985. Dennis worked the back of house. Ruby coordinated the menu and worked the front. Their kids taste tested the dishes.
In its first incarnation, Mekong was a pho noodle house. When it became apparent then Ottawa had no interest in Vietnamese food, the Lucs learned a lesson about catering to their diners. They dumped the menu in favour of hot and sour soup, lemon chicken, and General Tso's chicken. Only rice paper rolls and deep fried spring rolls remained. Eventually, they added more dishes, including Peking Duck.
Praising her cooks, Ruby is particularly proud of more recent South Asian menu additions: shrimp lollipops; lemongrass shrimp; curried chicken with sweet potato and coconut cream; and satay.
"Nowhere else in town serves satay the way we do," explained Ruby.
Service is why Ruby feels Mekong has outlasted so many of the restaurants in the neighbourhood. They have a private dining room on the second floor. The atmosphere is meant to be cozy.
Mekong's longevity likely also has to do with Ruby's charisma. A perfect host, she has made many friends over the years. In fact, for her takeover, Mellos' seats were filled with friends and acquaintances.
Everyone came for Ruby, but stayed for the food.
Next Monday (February 4th), Luigi Meliambro of Cheezy Luigi's pizzeria will be on hand. But, it won't be pizza he serves. Meliambro will bring Bootleg Porchetta, which is made by Mike Nicastro of Il Negozio Nicastro.

Belated Friday Appendix: #GoodEatsBlogs
Starting with this post, we will append "end of week" posts with recipe links to inspire your inner home cook. The recipes come from local bloggers. This week, we would like to share three "degrees" of food.
Let's start things off with Candace Derickx's "Pub-Style Chicken Curry." A milder take, Derickx's recipe looks to be a good way to ease a family into the world of Indian curries.
Employing a prepared Thai red curry paste, Andrea Tomkins shared a quick dinner solution, the "Salmon Burger Slider." Disguised as burgers, her normally finicky-at-the-table kids didn't leave a crumb behind.
Speaking of salmon, if we mosey over to Rebecca Stanisic's blog, she wrote up an oven-baked salmon dish that employs a maple and Dijon glaze. Imagine this glaze on planked salmon steaks or fillets on the gas or charcoal grill.

Joining together to solve the muck mystery
Published 8:00 pm, Thursday, August 3, 2006
More than 40 concerned residents packed into Stanley J. Wieczoreks Caseville Home Thursday to meet with local and state officials regarding the algae-like muck lining numerous beaches in the areas 90-plus miles of shoreline.
Water quality is badly in need of our attention not only in regards to the safety of our children, but also for the adults who have the right to use the lakes, said State Sen. Jim Barcia. Its for the publics safety, economic benefit particularly tourism and also for the right of all of us to be able to avail ourselves to the beautiful Great Lakes.
Despite the rain, Barcia, along with 84th District State Rep. Tom Meyer and Huron County Commissioners, toured residents beaches in Caseville and Port Austin.
At that time, Barcia and Meyer announced they sent a letter to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality asking funds be allocated to help determine what is in the waste that is appearing on those residents beaches.
As the state representative and state senator for this area, we are extremely concerned and would like to formally request the DEQ issue a $5,000 grant to cover the testing of the waste to determine what exactly were dealing with, the July 27 letter reads. We believe that this is an important issue that could impact the safety of Huron County residents and do request action from the DEQ as soon as possible.
Barcia said in addition to the possible funding, he anticipates additional cooperation from all levels of government.
Hopefully there will be a collaboration between federal, local and state agencies and elected officials to utilize all available resources to revitalize the economy and restore our beaches to their once pristine conditions, he said. So far residents have paid more than $1,000 out of their pockets to fund water quality tests.
We (had) to move forward with our own testing, said Hume Township resident Jim Roland, because if we were to keep doing what were doing, we cant go on.
Last summer, Roland and other Shore Drive residents paid for samples to be analyzed by the Livonia-based Paragon Laboratories, Inc., which found E. coli levels 700,000 per 100 ml. of water.
The normal E. coli level should be at 300,000, he said. We (were) two and a half times the limit.
While some samples from Wieczoreks beach already are in the process of being analyzed, Richard Painter and Alan Cole of Huron Water Testing, LLC took additional samples of muck from Hume Township residents homes Thursday.
The pair said the E. coli results should be ready later Friday afternoon, providing they are not so high that more testing would be required. If that were the case, Painter said it may take about two days to find the official results.
Earlier this week Wieczorek began the process of collecting samples that will be analyzed in Howell by TesTech, a certified engineering firm specializing in geotechnical, environmental, survey, construction and independent lab services. Additional samples will be sent to Florida to be tested by Infosource Molecular Florida, and Roland said it may be possible to find the composition of the muck through those samples.
We just want something done, Wieczorek said. Thats it, we just want something done.
Save Our Shoreline President Joe McBride warned residents that immediate results are awfully hard to come by.
There are some people that believe you do not know how to take care of your beach and they want to control it, he said. Its a real tough challenge basically because the DEQ and the environmentalists are well-funded and the only thing we can do is take donations to debunk the stuff their scientists throw at us.
If the organization had every shoreline property owner involved in this issue, McBride said SOS would have enough money to fight the matter.
He told residents the best thing to do now is what they already are doing, working persistently with state and local officials for assistance.
Get involved with the local water quality, but you have a real difficult fight on your hands, he said. You have a fundamental constitutional right of land ownership and they dont believe you have that right and its going to be a difficult fight.
Residents asked county officials why the county couldnt foot the bill since it recently found it has a $400,000 surplus.
Huron County Commissioner Chairman Dale Koehler said many things have been sacrificed in the past few years and the surplus is a result of layoffs, decreased road patrol, a different benefits program and the discontinuation of programs.
And although $400,000 seems like enough of a cushion, Huron County Commissioner Ron Wruble said a conservative approach has to be taken in regards to spending.
If we had the luxury of contributing to a cause like this, we would, he said. Wruble said the county initiated the grant process that has resulted in a Pinnebog Watershed Plan being created to address water quality issues associated with the Pinnebog River, which many residents say is the big contributor to the gunk on their shorelines.
The county also has worked hand-in-hand with Barcia and Meyer to create a task-force like committee that will continue to work on the matter.
So its not something weve turned our backs on, Wruble said.
County Commissioner Clark Elftman asked residents to let the leadership continue its work on this issue.
It might take a lot of doing, but we are adamant in our desire to see this through, he said.

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras – A second-half penalty kick by Carlos Ruiz helped Municipal register a 1-1 Group 1 draw with Real España in the CONCACAF Champions League at the Estadio Francisco Morazan on Thursday.
The host, which lost 4-1 at Pachuca (1-0-0, 3 points) on August 6, jumped to an 18th minute lead in the all-Central American affair, when Bryan Rochez headed in a corner kick that was flicked on at the near post by Edder Delgado.
Ruiz leveled for Municipal from the penalty spot in the 54th minute after Marlon Pena knocked down Maximiliano Callorda in front of goal. El Pescadito put his shot, which froze Hernandez, inside the right post for his first career CCL goal.
Rony Flores, who came on for Claudio Labariñas in the 14th minute, was a threat as soon as he stepped on the field. Only seconds later, his eight-yard header was parried over the crossbar by goalkeeper Santiago Morandi.
Municipal had two quality scoring chances in the first half. Callorda forced goalkeeper Kevin Hernandez to dive left for a sixth minute save, while Ruiz's effort from 10 yards in the 36th minute was also thwarted.
With 11 minutes remaining in normal time, Julio Rodriguez nearly put Real España (0-1-1, 1 point) back in front, but his 24-yard free kick glanced off the crossbar.
In the 83rd minute, Municipal's Kevin Santamaria – despite having time and space – saw his effort from just outside the 18-yard box be saved by Hernandez.
In the group's next match, Municipal (0-1-0, 1 point) will host group-leading Pachuca on August 27.

Ducarme Joseph was found shot to death on the streets of Montreal hit several times in the upper body. Joseph was the founder of the Montreal street gang called the 67s street gang and was considered by police to be the most influential and powerful street gang leader in the city with a long criminal record. The 46 year old street gang leader was believed by many including authorities to be the get away car driver in the murder of Nick Rizzuto Jr the son of former Montreal mafia boss Vito Rizzuto. Nick was killed back in 2009 near the offices of Antonio Magi who was also believed to be involved in the hit.
"Ducarme Joseph"
Vito Rizzuto died in the middle of an array of mob related murders which many believed to be his revenge for the murders of his father Nicolo and son Nick Jr along with the attack on his crime family by a rival faction possibly backed by the Ndrangheta. The latest hit on Joseph may very well be the new leaders of the mafia in Montreal showing their loyalty and finishing the vengeance of their deceased mob boss.
The bloody Montreal mafia war that began with the failed attempt to destroy the Rizzuto crime family while Vito was doing a prison stint in the U.S. has continued to see the body count rise. It is still yet unknown if the hit on Joseph was indeed carried out or authorized by the new mob leaders but the tracks of vengeace are definitely one of the authorities top leads.

The once black cover is now faded in bands from 40+ years of being taller than those around it. What struck me as I flipped through is how timeless these effective type solutions are. While I'm constantly searching for the newest, most innovative type designs to share with my students, I realize that, wipe a little dust off, and treasures like this one can be every bit as inspiring….

New Roma signing Kevin Strootman says he was advised to move to Italy by former Milan midfielder Mark Van Bommel.
"Mark was the man with experience of Italy," the 23-year-old told De Telegraaf.
"He told me how great the passion of the fans was, how special the atmosphere in the stadiums was and how there was a totally different football culture."
Roma have reportedly had to hand over €17m to PSV Eindhoven to secure the signature of the Holland international.
"I will train every day with top players and get to play against the likes of Inter, Milan, Juventus and Napoli," he continued.
"What counts for me is the number of big games I am going to play here."
The midfielder has signed a five-year deal with the capital outfit.
Van Bommel re-joined PSV last summer after spending 18 months with the Diavolo.

Baby the Bionic Cat
An accident-prone moggy has been dubbed the "bionic cat" now that she has metal implants in each of her four limbs.
As this X-ray show, the six-year-old cat, named Baby, needed extensive surgery on her injuries and yesterday, staff gave her the all-clear.
Baby was taken to the hospital in September after falling from a third floor window for the second time at her owner's home in south London.
Staff found she had suffered multiple fractures in both back legs before discovering from an X-ray that she already had metal implants in both front legs, which had been inserted after a similar plunge when she was a kitten. "Baby is extremely lucky to be alive," said Jess Gower, Blue Cross chief veterinary surgeon at the hospital, who carried out the latest operations.
"Amazingly, she has healed extremely well and can already move around very well. We hope that in around eight weeks, when we take off the frame, she will move as normal and you'd never know what happened to her."

Continued from page 4
Is the "Buffy" reboot still a possibility or is it fully dead?
Honestly, I'm not really tracking it. My feeling is it's good and it honors what "Buffy" set out to do, then that's great, and if it's bad, then it will probably make me look cooler. So it's kind of a win-win.
Do you ever delve into the voluminous fan fiction around "Buffy"?
I have delved into it. There's a bunch. There isn't a better barometer of the kind of success that I crave, which is that people haven't only enjoyed the work; they've internalized it. I don't, obviously, spend all my days reading it because that would make me creepy, but it's a huge, huge thing for me that people have taken it into their lives.
Let's talk a bit about "Cabin in the Woods." We discussed the secrecy around it, but we do get a little of what happens from the previews.
Yes, Lionsgate had the unenviable task of trying to market a movie that they didn't want to show anything from. It's not that it's so much a twist as it is a progression, an unfolding, which is the way movies were made before movies sort of became premise movies, where you go in knowing exactly what you're going to get. It's very hard to make a movie that really unfolds gradually throughout the movie. "Cabin" isn't like "Crying Game." It's not "The Sixth Sense." It doesn't all hinge on one moment. It's just this lovely journey. "I'm here. Wait a minute, I'm over here?" The element of surprise is something that I protect fiercely on both a philosophical and commercial level.
You don't hear the word "lovely" applied to horror movies often.
Well, it is. It's very lovingly made. It's beautifully shot. We love the characters, we care very much. People have said, "Oh, it's a deconstruction," but it's not a winking one. We don't break the fourth wall. Everybody in the movie is very invested in what they're doing.
One thing we can tell from the trailers is this element of surveillance, being watched on closed-circuit TV. That pops up kind of a lot in things you've done. What's up with that?
Yes, this idea that there's someone controlling and monitoring and experimenting with you, that corporations are big and evil and control our lives and even our attitudes about our lives -- I write this stuff, and then sometimes on the side I write science fiction.
Ha. I was going to go with something about how being a director makes you view the world that way.
Well, also, this is at the same time very much a story about storytelling. As somebody who has manipulated the lives and death, the trials and triumphs of other people, you do start to wonder: Why am I doing this? Is this a good thing? It's no secret that the two characters played by Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins are in many ways just me and Drew [Goddard, director and co-writer].
So this movie is your alternative to therapy.
Yes. "Come, America, and see my issues!" Actually, everything I've done has been that. I didn't realize until after seven seasons of "Buffy" -- literally, until after I was done with it -- that I was writing about myself. People always say, "Which character is you?" and I'm like, "Well, I feel like I'm Xander because he's funny and he's kind of a loser." And then honestly it wasn't until I was working on something else that I went, "Oh! I was Buffy, and I was writing about myself the whole time. How could I possibly not have noticed that?"
I have one particular theme, and it ties in with what I was talking about with the corporations, and that's helplessness. The empowerment of someone who's helpless. And that has everything to do with how I feel about myself. Buffy was a pretty blond girl of whom nothing was expected, who didn't try very hard at anything, and then suddenly became the most powerful person around -- that theme, whether it's empowerment or the discovery that one is powerless, that drives everything I do.
You were a go-getter from a pretty young age. Why is helplessness something that resonates so strongly for you?
I guess because I grew up small and afraid of everything, and apart from the fact that I'm no longer small, nothing has changed. Every moment that I love is the moment when a character basically stands up and says "I have the right to exist." And that's something I have yet to do as a person. But I can write it quite eloquently.

Canon PowerShot A50Canon's "Digital ELPHs" goes megapixel plus - great picture quality, superb portability!
<<Executive Overview :(Previous) | (Next): Viewfinder>>
Page 3:DesignReview First Posted: 7/10/1999
At only 4.1 x 2.7 x 1.5 inches (103 x 68 x 37.3 mm) and 9.2 ounces (260g) without
the battery pack or 11.2 ounces (344g) with it, the PowerShot A50 is one of
the most compact cameras we've tested to date. It has a rugged all-metal (aluminum)
case, as well as a metal carrying-strap attachment, and a metal tripod socket.
Overall, the design conveys a feeling of solidity and quality.
One nice touch we particularly appreciated was the automatic lens cover that slides shut over the telescoping zoom lens when it retracts into the camera body as the A50 is shut down: No lost lens caps, and no smudged/scratched lenses! (The photo at right shows the camera front with the lens cover in place. The whole design is both very appealing, and very conducive to just dropping in your pocket to bring along anywhere. The compact flash card compartment is accessible from the side of the A50, meaning you can get to it even while the camera is mounted on a tripod. As is common though, the battery compartment opens from the bottom, requiring the camera to be removed from a tripod when the battery needs changing. (See the later section on power, for a description of the optional power adapter.)
Control layout is fairly conventional, with most operating controls accessible
to the right hand, although a two-handed approach is needed to navigate the
LCD menu system. As we'll describe in greater depth later, the PowerShot A50
makes fairly extensive use of LCD menus for setting camera operating characteristics:
We'd found ourselves wishing for a little more control from the top-panel LCD
readout, without having to burrow into the LCD menus.
Despite its small size, we found the PowerShot A50 easy to operate, thanks in part to the excellent ergonomics of the little raised pushbuttons Canon uses: They're very easy to actuate, with a positive breakaway "click" action when pressed. While we could operate the camera fairly easily with one hand, its small size and fairly high density (weight to volume ratio) left us more comfortable with a two-handed grip. Overall, we have a few minor quibbles about the user-interface design, but found the overall design to be tremendously appealing: This is a digital camera that even the non-gadget-freak members of your family will appreciate!

Holly & Dave are back with a great new album which is out this week, it's called "Long Distance" and here's what Holly had to say about it……"After many requests to incorporate the best of the solo Holly Golightly songs into the live set, with top-notch backing provided by The Brokeoffs, I have picked some of my original band favourites and recorded this collection for old and new fans alike.
The highlight for me was the chance to re-record '(You Ain't) No Big Thing,' the fantastic 1966 Sam and Dave classic that I first started performing live in 1995. It's one of my all time top tunes, along with
'My Love Is,' the fabulous Little Willie John number, which we've given a wistful lone banjo accompaniment this time around.
There is an even mix of cover songs and originals to revisit, all of them corkers in their own right and all of them especially dear to me. 'Long Distance' is collection of my good-time-foot-tappers and
sing-along-tear-jerkers. It's my top ten tracks prepared from scratch and served up fresh."
It's out on CD, Digital and a lovely limited edition LP on red & white splattered vinyl too.

SGT Yano Library Talk
It's been a busy week - it usually feels like that when we have Monday holidays, I suppose.
As it was Teen Reading Week at the Schofield Barracks' SGT Yano Library, KS and I were invited as guests to talk a little about webcomics.
It was a solo run for me this time, as KS had some work conflicts. It was my first time on base, so it was quite a new experience for me! I was quite impressed with the libraries' facilities, complete with large reading rooms, typing rooms, flat screen tvs, and video conferencing areas!
The group was quite small, but very cozy~ Great questions all around and I got to share with them my latest project in progress. (Well, at least one of them...) You can check out my small collection of photos, courtesy of my mom, of the event.
We'll have a proper "reveal" once the finished product is in our hands. :D
Thanks to those who showed up on Wednesday!

Couture kicks off in Paris
This is one of our favourite looks for a high summer - new season trend blend. It's retro-chic with a very modern twist in the shape of next seasons new hem length - mid calf. This skirt is the perfect trans-seasonal garment, great for teaming with a short sleeve jacket and sandal now but will look equally chic with winter's vertiginous boots and is the best way to eliminate that dreaded gap between boot and skirt. Proenza's slick body-con corset vest adds edge and also translates well for winter's industrial and power dressing trends while the cap sleeve on this biker jacket from Topshop is not only good for toning down floaty looks but will look just as great over a fine knit come September. Finish with vintage inspired accessories now while the sun is still shining like Rokit's cat-eye sunnies and Aldo's patent peep toes, which pay hommage to the fifties without stealing too much limelight from the main act.

The Forbes team are out at CES (you can follow our CES coverage online at www.forbes.com/ces) and while I'm going to miss the camaraderie of working in a team trying to find the best news and tell the story of CES to Forbes readers, I'm not looking for CES to change the direction of consumer electronics in 2013.
There's a certain bar-room brawl feel to CES, and I feel that events like the Las Vegas spectacular (and also the GSMA's Mobile World Congress) force the hands of tech organisations to show 'something new' every twelve months or be perceived as an out of touch company that no longer has the drive to innovate.
If a company doesn't show up at these industry event, they've got a lot of explaining to do. Take Microsoft, who are no longer keynoting in Las Vegas. They can point to the Windows 8 launch, which was scheduled when they were ready and at a time that would guarantee more attention from the world's press at their standalone event, rather than during a keynote at CES, which will have any number of stories breaking just a few minutes after the speech ends.
But that's not an option open to all. If HTC was absent from Vegas, eyebrows would be raised. It's a vicious big bind in the technological poker game of packaging up small changes as the next big thing.
Speed dating works in certain circumstances, but you always want to spend more time with someone before moving forward. Technology is the same. There's a lot of noise and bluster in Las Vegas right now, hoping to catch the eyes of the world's press. But does it have any major impact on the trends we will see in 2013?
No. CES is about who can shout the loudest, who can catch the eye of the prowling journalists, who can have the splashiest booth to make people stop and Instagram the stand. The true value will be found in the follow-up articles as the ideas that have been worked on for years are examined in detail, to see the public reaction to the ideas, and to have the ideas tested in the marketplace.
CES is the tiny flute of champagne you get before you sit down to a multi-course dinner. It's very nice at the time, and we'll all mingle and make small talk, but it's not what shapes the future.
If CES was no longer there, manufacturers would announce products when they are ready, journalists would have more time to cover a story, rather than racing to beat the other online sites to the stories, and consumers would not be subject to an arbitrary technology being labelled the biggest thing to happen to technology in 2013.
I don't think CES is needed. But like that first glass of champagne, it is nice to have.


text: the question i get alot,when the phone rings is "how much do you charge?" now i understand that the customer wants to know what he or she will be spending, but i can always tell by the tone of their voice that they are just price shopping. Another question is "i just bought a new faucet from home depot, what do you charge to install" Im so sick of these type of calls, but i hate to turn down business. when i give them my rates most callers say "wow thats alot, ill call back later". my prices are competitive with no call out charge. I wanted to see how you handle these kind of calls or if you even give out prices over the phone, or if you dont bother with these sort of calls.

One thing is certain – after Citizens United, the institutional legitimacy of the Supreme Court, not to mention the legacy of John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy is very much on the line.
You are here
Today marks the 1000th consecutive day during which our judicial system has been operating with the burden of 80 or more vacancies on the federal bench.
As the Supreme Court gears up to hear oral arguments in the Affordable Care Act cases next week, the Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution tested the central issue of the Act at its Sixth Annual Moot Court Program on March 20.
Coleman indicates that, with the confirmations of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, there are now five Justices who will look to second-guess efforts by Congress to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees of liberty and equality.
The challengers to the Affordable Care Act claim that the Medicaid expansion is "coercive" to the states and thus an unconstitutional exercise of Congress's Spending Clause authority. This claim is wrong, but if it were to succeed, it would be a constitutional earthquake that would throw into question Medicaid and other federal statutes that create federal/state partnerships to solve nationwide problems such as health care, child welfare and discrimination.
We're no longer fighting about judicial method. The Constitution itself is at a crossroads.

Title: Nantucket Blue
Author: Leila Howland
Source: Netgalley
Publisher: Disney Hyperion
Publication Date: May 7, 2013
Challenge: Debut Author Challenge
Amazon – Barnes & Noble – Indie Bound
For Cricket Thompson, a summer like this one will change everything. A summer spent on Nantucket with her best friend, Jules Clayton, and the indomitable Clayton family. A summer when she'll make the almost unattainable Jay Logan hers. A summer to surpass all dreams.
Some of this turns out to be true. Some of it doesn't.
When Jules and her family suffer a devastating tragedy that forces the girls apart, Jules becomes a stranger whom Cricket wonders whether she ever really knew. And instead of lying on the beach working on her caramel-colored tan, Cricket is making beds and cleaning bathrooms to support herself in paradise for the summer.
But it's the things Cricket hadn't counted on–most of all, falling hard for someone who should be completely off-limits–that turn her dreams into an exhilarating, bittersweet reality.
A beautiful future is within her grasp, and Cricket must find the grace to embrace it. If she does, her life could be the perfect shade of Nantucket blue.
Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland is the perfect book for summer. It evokes the feelings of being young and hoping the summer would be magical. That everything could change if you can get the right boy to notice you and spend the summer near the water.
Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland captures a summer in New England (and this New Englander loved the setting but I may be biased.) Cricket Thompson is in the summer before her senior year and is about to turn 18. She spends most of her time with her best friend Jules and her family until tragedy strikes. So what was meant to be an epic summer with her best friend, turns into a summer where she lives on her own and is forced to confront the feelings she has been hiding from.
Cricket is a very likeable and relatable character. She is hurt by her parents actions but is unsure how to handle it. As the child of divorced parents, I found this story line handled in a accurate way. Being almost an adult but having little control of those in your life can be difficult.
Nantucket Blue has a great love story where Cricket finally meets the right guy. This part of the book is so sweet and very swoon worthy. It also shows maturity on Crickets part when she has to choose between what is right in front of her and what she thought she always wanted.
Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland is a beautiful story about growing-up and learning to confront your problems. The love story is excellent and made it difficult to put down. The ending is ultimately satisfying and I was sad that it was over. I highly recommend picking up a copy of Nantucket Blue this summer.
What You Will Find
- Catty girls
- Great setting
- Cute boys
- Great love story
- Coming-of-age
I did receive a copy of Nantucket Blue via Netgalley but all opinions are my own.

He felt my face. I was afraid. The boy I had known since kindergarten was now my lover. I backed away, slowly but he realized at once. I was scared it would ruin our friendship. Every time I talked about it he said our friendship would be okay no matter what happened. He reached towards my hair again. Taking each little strand carefully. This time I didn't back away. He put his hands on my face. I started to talk, but he put his finger to my mouth. I thought about how we met. I had spilled my juice box all over his dark blue pants. We had been friends ever since. He brought my face close to his. I knew what was happening. He was about to kiss me. He pressed his lips softly on mine. My heart was pounding so loud I was afraid he could heat it. We sat there with his lips on mine for what seemed was forever. He backed away. He had to leave, my friend would be coming soon. We grew older, he moved. One day when I was in college, I saw someone that looked like him. I then realized it was him. I yelled for him. He heard me, smiled and came over to me. He said he had been trying to find me as soon as he moved. He had never found any love after me. I had never found any love either. He got on one knee. I smiled, he smiled. He then proposed. Of course I said yes. We have been together through thick and thin. We never fell out of love with each other. That is my love story. <3
My Love Story

It is with a heavy heart that I tell of the passing of Claude the Frank, senior Squire to Master Feral Von Halstern, best known to many of you as Clyde. He fell victim to a stroke last week and a second one took him from us yesterday.
Clyde was my mundane best friend and the guy that I came into the Society with. He was my sword brother, my squire brother and to many others a surrogate big brother. Claude always there with help, inspiration and straight forward common sense. He was a herald, a marshal, and seneschal for many years. He was also first and foremost a warrior. An unbelted champion of the East many times. He was a line commander in the Northern Army and one of the best glaivesmen to have at your back when things turned ugly.
He will be missed greatly by his beloved long time Lady, Micheala, and our hearts and help go out to her. He will also be missed by his many friends, both in, and outside the Freehold of River Keep, and his many companions at arms who will mourn his passing.
A service of Remembrance will be held Sunday morning at the outdoor camp chapel at Vineland Raids. All are welcome to attend and speak. Please feel free to pass this to any lists you feel appropriate
In Service to my Friend,
Padraig MacEanruig, Master of Arms
Internment will be in Phoenix, AZ. Those wishing to express sympathy may do so to firstname.lastname@example.com

While many may compare Taylor Swift to an old lady with her love of cats, baking and giving allowance to her fans, this video is proof that she's also young at heart.
As seen in her many music videos, Swift will take any opportunity to play dress-up and make believe as she takes on a plethora of personas ranging from a flapper, band geek, mother, ballerina, cheerleader and chemist. And now in a supercut courtesy of The Daily Dot, we get to see exactly how many roles Ms. Swift has taken on.
I guess she isn't really following that whole "She wear high heels / I wear sneakers" thing, huh?

Mayoral contenders Muriel Bowser, Vincent Orange and Andy Shallal recently delivered to the D.C. Board of Elections a combined 13,000 signatures, beating by several weeks the Jan. 2 deadline to submit petitions to appear on the primary ballot. Theirs was no major feat, however. The District's nominating process makes puny demands on wannabes.
By law, individuals running for office are required to collect the signatures of 1 percent of registered voters within their parties. For Democratic mayoral candidates, that means only 2,000 signatures, which aren't even required to be collected citywide. In November, Washington City Paper's Will Sommer noted that a candidate for the Libertarian Party, which has 145 members in the District, needed two — that's right, two — signatures to run for mayor.
Don't you love a farce?
That low bar helps cast D.C. elections essentially as a cattle call, where anyone with a pulse and a local address can secure a place on a primary ballot. Sure, some candidates collect more than the required signatures. That's voluntary, however, and they do it mostly to inoculate themselves against challenges from their opponents or others.
Unquestionably, the process cries out for reform. Don't expect elections board Director Clifford Tatum to make any recommendations, however. He told me his office deals only with "administrative issues." The candidate-nominating process is "politics and has always been established by the [D.C.] Council."
Help in upgrading the current standard will not come from existing or even budding politicians, either. "I think it's a fairly high threshold," Shallal told me recently. "It's not as easy as you think."
There is ample evidence of the mischief wrought by such a negligible requirement. Consider 2010, for example: When Sulaimon Brown submitted his signatures to get on the mayoral primary ballot, no one really paid much attention. Yet, he went on to play an outsize role in the race, recasting and disrupting the democratic process. He repeatedly attacked incumbent Adrian Fenty at candidate forums, spewing negative comments. No insult was left unused. What people didn't know was that Brown was a tool of Vincent Gray's campaign. According to federal officials, Brown received cash payments from that 2010 election operation, and the financial support extended Brown's political shelf life. But when the ballots were counted, he had only 209 of the 133,854 votes cast.
What would have happened if the nominating bar had been higher? More important, is there a Sulaimon Brown in this year's primary race?
The nomination procedure stands in stark contrast to the high hurdle demanded of residents and others seeking to get an initiative or referendum before voters.
These individuals must first make their case before the elections board for its approval. Then, they are made to secure "at least five percent of the voters registered citywide. These signatures must be distributed to reflect at least five percent of the registered voters in at least five of the eight wards," according to the elections board. Last year, a group of residents, calling themselves D.C. Public Trust, sought to get an initiative before voters that would have banned corporate contributions in political campaigns. They were required to secure the signatures of more than 23,000 registered voters.
The gander gets clobbered while the goose gets a pass.
Even when residents have met the unreasonably high barrier for initiatives and referendums, the council has stepped in the way of implementing such voter-approved measures. Several years ago, the legislature nullified an initiative that required term limits for all elected officials. This year, it voted to delay the election of an independent attorney general.
The need to reform the candidate-nominating process becomes even more critical when viewed against this backdrop: Individuals win office in the District with a simple plurality. No runoff is required. A mayoral candidate could win the upcoming Democratic primary with as little as 25 percent of the vote. It's ridiculous that someone could become the chief executive of a $12 billion government with such piddling support.
Recently, D.C. Council member David Grosso (I-At Large) announced that he intends to introduce election reform legislation. He said he wants the District to have open primaries. Further, he thinks elections should include "instant runoffs." Hopefully, he will include in that agenda changing the nomination requirements for individuals running for office, helping to eliminate some of the political riffraff that makes it on the election ballot.
I know what you're thinking: She's dreaming if she thinks any of that will pass the Democratic Party-dominated city council. Hope springs eternal.

As I was going through the links in my wordpress dashboard, I noticed a warning from Weblog Tools Collection.
This particular warning is thanks to an astute reader who pointed out another such site called blogstheme.com. They also provide "premium WordPress themes for free" but have modified the footer to suit themselves. The "WordPress" link in the footer of every theme distributed by that site links back to blogstheme.com and the downloads are not pristine as intended by the designers of the themes. The footers are also tainted with sponsored links that the original authors did not put there. I see a whole bunch of Small Potato's themes on that site as well as themes from many other designers. Though the theme page lists the original author, the theme download is from blogstheme.com and not from the original authors' site.
I feel sorry for those who spend hours or even days creating a wordpress theme only to be stolen by these people. It would have been ok if they are distributing it but they are even modifying it to make it look like they were the ones who created it.
Please avoid them and support the original authors of the themes. =)

It has been one hell of a ride (and still going strong) for James Ellsworth. The immense opportunity given to him was certainly one of the best things that could happen to any wrestler aspiring to make a name for himself/herself in WWE. Now that he's now officially part of the SmackDown Live roster, one could only wonder how will Mr. Ellsworth make the most out of this chance to establish himself as a legitimate WWE Superstar. Yes, he has a future championship match against AJ Styles, which IMHO he won't be winning (sorry AJ fan here). After that, what's next? If creative can make his character interesting down the line, it'll be a win-win for both parties. Hey, you don't wanna waste those 3 wins against the Phenomenal One plus the guy already has a following.
He bleeds blue that's why he's all SmackDown! Get the newest James Ellsworth wallpaper on the web today!

If you invest in the stock market long enough, you will arrive at a point when you realize that there are certain things that just can't be explained. I have a pretty extensive list of these examples. But I've learned to just accept them and move on. On the other hand, there are two things that I have been unable to merely brush off. Right up there with the collapse of Enron is the degree to which tech giant Apple is hated by so many people.
In an article last week, I talked about Apple's potential dominance in the TV market and highlighted one important feature that an iTV needed to ensure its success. I was told by a few readers that the discussion should instead be focused on the pending failure of Apple's iPhone 5 launch in China. The phones were proclaimed "too expensive and nobody wanted them." Sunday night, Apple proved the bears wrong again.
Apple announced that it sold 2 million iPhones 5s over the weekend in China – in only three days! Even more remarkable was that the company said that the phone will soon become available in more than 100 countries by the end of December – making iPhone 5 the fastest roll-out ever.
Essentially, although Apple is now perceived "normal" and that Google is "eating its lunch", that the company was able to sell 2 million units in just three days means that Apple will certainly blow away sales estimates in the January announcement. This is despite the constant cries of "cannibalization."
Although I don't believe the issue of cannibalization to be true, but the successful launch in China as well as others in various countries will certainly offset the negative impact - as exaggerated as it may be. It also means that Apple still has the "it-factor" in one of the largest markets in the world. On a similar note, it highlights how overblown were the reasons for the selling off of the stock. So what's next?
Bears continue to bring out every reason imaginable for why Apple is "on the decline." During these explanations they always leave off the only reason that is believable – jealousy. Apple's level of success offends a lot of people – I get it.
I also appreciate that Apple's triumph in the mobile market has caused the demise of rival companies such as Research in Motion, Nokia and Microsoft. But is that really the fault of Apple or is it just capitalism working as it should. In other words, why has the hatred gotten so personal?
As I've said in the opening – I don't think I'll ever understand it. In the meantime, Apple continues to operate with a chip on its shoulder and seems poised to prove these doubters wrong. Nothing has changed fundamentally with the company. Apple longs understand this.
I will concede that the competition seems to have narrowed the gap a bit. On the other hand, that Apple has recently surpassed Google's Android in U.S. smartphone sales means that the competition still has some catching up to do. The successful launch in China is only going to make it that much more difficult.

David Fairhurst named Visiting Professor
BUSINESS guru David Fairhurst has joined Manchester Metropolitan University as a Visiting Professor.
David Fairhurst, chief people officer for McDonald's and best-known for his crusade to redefine the term 'McJob', will join the Business School's human resource management team.
Voted 'Most Powerful Player' in the industry in Personnel Today for the past two years, the straight-talker from Wigan has a knack of making his people policies seem like common sense both to McDonald's staff and the general public.
Describing himself as "relatively disruptive", David Fairhurst has a strong reputation for developing young people and using innovation and technology. One of his major achievements has been to install lecture theatres and classrooms in the McDonald's head office in London, to train thousands of staff a year.
"We have a curriculum leadership programmes, language course, the lot. We are teaching life skills, not just job skills," he says.
Guest lectures
The MMU graduate, and former Tesco director is also remarkable for his theory that confidence is as important as competence.
As Visiting Professor, David will deliver Guest Lectures, including a high profile annual lecture – diaried for January 14, 2009. He will advise on the design of HR curriculum in line with the requirements of the profession, and provide high level mentoring to staff and alumni, and also be involved with research publications from the Business School.
Sue Shaw, Executive Head of Human Resource Management and Organisation Behaviour at MMU Business School, said: "David is one of the sharpest business brains of his generation. Academics and students have already benefited immensely from his chairmanship of the University's Centre for Professional Personnel & Development Advisory Board.
"His energy, vision and communication skills will help now help guide the strategic direction and increased international focus of the Centre and our broader HR activities."

A few more weeks and life will be a little more normal around here. I do have a lovely friend working on a marriage series this year and I signed up to be a part of it.
I woke up this morning praying over it and my writing with it. I will be sharing it a little later than planned so I'm sure to get the newest information for all of you. You'll see when I share it. In the meantime you can go check out the lovely babEblessings and the past months. (She is quite busy right now with the birth of a beautiful baby girl, so we are not on the planned timeline. Bear with us!)
I will post twice this month on submission. A "dirty" word to many. It was never meant to be seen as controversial, but loving. It has always been a word I liked to skip over until I really understood it in a marriage class this year. A lot of Christians don't want to hear it, and a lot of Christians abuse it. You'll see. (How's that for a teaser!)
A little update –
- Baby #3 is growing well in my belly at 15.5 weeks.
- I love teaching Spanish again. The school, kids and staff are wonderful.
- My kids love going to "school" 3 days a week with their friends and cousin. The other two days they get to be with daddy.
- I get home and study (or take a mini break on Instagram or Facebook). I am almost half way through my 3 masters classes. They are tough!
I will come back to writing regularly as I miss all of you and the amount I learn through sharing here. I promised just a few month break and Lord willing I'll be back soon!

Of course some are so used to be told what to do and how to do it that you don't question it. It's easier that way, isn't it though? They give you a nice white box, tell you how and what to do, and that's that?
Some of us value choice, however. And your argument about feature-for-feature is weak considering you can barely even change the way your desktop looks in OS X, much less changing major functionality. Overall control of your system is the most important feature of all, not some cutesy eye candy.
Apple doesn't tell me what to do or how to do it. Thinking that only illustrates your misconception about Macs. Is it bad that Apple's default design is already so close to what is the most comfortable that few people feel the need to change? For those that do, OS X is quite themeable.
You can take your "choice", and your poor UIs, and constant fiddling with config files. We Mac users will take our OS X and streamlined work. Choice is worthwhile only when all of your choices are good. In the Linux world, you usually have 100 really bad products, and 1-2 decent ones.
Good usability and a system that doesn't get in your way is the most important feature of all. Ask anyone on the street, and they won't care whether a company releases this so-called "source code" to the program that generates the desktop. They want a desktop that looks and feels great.
You can take your "choice", and your poor UIs, and constant fiddling with config files. We Mac users will take our OS X and streamlined work.
Yet another Mac fanatic out to make himself agreeable and persuade the doubters, this time by talking silly falsehoods about the alternatives.
This time combined with the mac-fascist point of view that "Choice is worthwhile only when all of your choices are good". So, you don't need or even really want anything except what Apple gives you. The other 97% of computer users do not constantly, or even ever, fiddle with configuration files.
Wrong. Choice is worthwhile because it ensures that SOME of the choices are good. This is why we have many terrible candidates for public office, many terrible novelists on the shelves, many awful films in cinema and DVD. That and the fact that what you think is good may not be what I think is good.
You may be able to convince people of the real merits of OSX, but you'll never do it like this.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), has joined Project Last Mile's partners to include Mozambique and nine other African countries in their efforts to supply medicines and medical supplies.
USAID joins the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Coca-Cola Co. and its foundations in the public-private partnership that has promised an investment of more than $21 million over the next five years.
Project Last Mile currently is operating in Tanzania and Ghana. The countries to be included aside from Mozambique still are to be determined and are "in various stages of identification and discussion with local governments," according to a June 23 news release.
Cosmas Mwaifwani, director general of the Medical Stores Department in Tanzania said in the release that since his country began working with the partners in 2010 the availability of medicines in medical clinics has been increased by 20-30 percent.
According to the release, among the project's benefits have been instruction in how to forecast demand and how to improve market availability for the medicines and vaccines as well as the development of a cold storage equipment chain to properly store and deliver them.
A Coke "infographic" says that "50 percent of all people in Africa lack access to critical medicines . Yet you can get a Coca-Cola anywhere in the world. What if we call came together and shared skills and ideas…"
The graphic concludes, "By drawing on Coca-Cola's 85-plus years of experience distributing beverages to the most remote corners of Afria, life-saving improvement are being made to the storage, distribution and marketing of critical medicines and medical supplies."

Pumpkin Caramel Pecan Cheesecake
Autumn is pumpkin season. Don't ask me, just look at the insanity that is the PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte for all you who don't frequent Starbucks). This cheesecake is my contribution on the alter of all things Pumpkin. The original recipe called for a praline, but I figured I'd rather have a delicious runny caramel sauce.
Warning: this cheesecake is rich. Like holy crap, I-ate-a-small-slice-and-now-I-need-a-nap-rich. Which honestly, is what you kinda look for this time of year. Freaking delicious!
Pumpkin Caramel Pecan Cheesecake
- 2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs (approx. 9oz)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter (1/2 stick)
- 32oz Cream Cheese (4 packages)
- 1.5 cups Sugar
- 3 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 4 eggs
- 1 15-oz can pumpkin
- 3 Tbsp Bourbon
- 2 Tsp Vanillas Extract
Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Stick Butter (4 Tbsp)
- 1/2 Cup half-and-half or Cream
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla
- Pinch of Salt
- Handful of crushed pecans
Pre-heat oven to 350F.
Caramel Sauce:
Mix everything except pecans in a saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook while whisking gently until mixture blends and is thickened. Turn off heat. Serve warm or refrigerate until cold. If sauce is then continue to cook until it thickens. Stir in Pecans.
Set in fridge to cool.
Make Crust:
Stir cookie crumbs and cinnamon in bowl to blend. Add butter. Stir until moistened. Press onto bottom of Springform pan and part way up sides. Bake crust until set about 8 minutes. Cool.
Make Filling:
Use electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in flour and spices. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Beat in pumpkin, bourbon and vanilla. Transfer to crust.
Double wrap foil around springform pan, or put in a rolled down oven bag. Place in a roasting pan or baking sheet. fill pan with water until 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Water keeps the cheesecake from over baking. The purpose of the foil or oven bag is to keep the water from leaking through the springform pan and making a soggy crust. If you have a tight sealing spring form pan, you may be able to get away putting it directly in the water.
Bake cake in water bath until just set, roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes. Remove from water and cool. Run a sharp knife beween cake and pan sides. Chill until cold, then cover and chill overnight.
I topped the cheesecake with sauce for the photo op, but I'd advise holding off and topping each slice before serving.

Name: John and Nathalie Olson
Name of the outfitter: Yuturi Lodge
Type of Tour: 5 day Amazonian jungle adventure
High end tour, mid-range, or budget? Mid-range
Where did you go? How many days? What was the number of people?
We flew to Coca from Quito. Our first night was spent at Yarina Lodge (a wonderfully clean and safe lodge), then two nights at Yuturi Lodge (absolutely disgusting), and the last night back at Yarina.
Recommend this company?
Why or why not?
Yuturi lodge is in a total state of disrepair, with little, if any, maintenance, and cleaning. The cabanas we were offered were disgustingly unsafe (i.e., exposed electrical wires which had to be joined to make the single evening light work, old rickety construction with large holes in the floor, several semi-invisible strings across a small room at eye height holding up tattered mosquito nets), unhygenic (i.e., inadequate water pressure from the shower head to shower after a hot/humid day), and unclean to the point of filthy (the shower, sink, and toilet were disgustingly filthy from years of neglect and poor cleaning practices).
What's one piece of advice for going on an adventure?
Check out the suggested jungle lodge accommodations before you sign anything. Do not rely on "any" pictures provided on the Internet from any source. Yuturi accommodations looked acceptable in the pictures but what was found was unacceptable at any price.
What was your guide like? What was his name?
Our interpreter's name was "David", of Mestizo descent who spoke excellent English, Spanish, and Quichua. Our main guide's name at Yuturi was Sixto, a knowledgeable, humorous, and wonderful local Quichua native.
What was your opinion of the tour company?

Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan for the Week of February 24, 2013
I've got 7 great days of wonderful dishes lined up for this week's gluten-free diet menu plan. Here are the highlights.
Stuffed Peppers, a classic in my home, will begin the week. I've combined the peppers with raw veggies and biscotti. Now biscotti is really fun to make. I hope you enjoy fooling around in the kitchen like I do.
Then, on Day 2 there will be a Mediterranean-inspired chicken. That's followed by a Low Carb Meal on Day 3 which features tilapia done in the oven; quick and yummy.
Day 4 is another old favorite in my home… a Crockpot Meal of Beef Stew. My husband absolutely loves this one so I'll probably need to make extra.
On Day 5 I'll be making a salad with Roasted Chicken Breasts. I'll roast 'em in the oven along with the Pumpkin Bread I'm baking for desert. However, if you have roasted chicken in the freezer from an earlier meal, this would be a good time to use it.
A 30 Minute Meal makes quick work of supper on the 6th day with clam chowder and salmon croquettes.
To finish off the week there's a Paleo Meal which includes Chicken Stew with Carrots and Celery, The medley of flavors is rounded out by mashed potatoes garnished with either butter or ghee. For a gluten-free and paleo dessert, I'll be trying some Paleo chocolate cookies. They are an example of some of the good ideas which the paleo diet has, and since it's completely grain-free, it's also gluten-free.
Gluten-Free Diet Menu Plan
For the Week of February 24, 2013
Day 1
Raw Broccoli, Carrot & Cheese Sticks
Fig, Walnut, and Cacao Nib Biscotti – Amy Green at Simply Sugar and Gluten-Free
Day 2
Chicken with Cannellini Beans, Tomatoes & Italian Parsley
Steamed Kale
Fettucine and Olive Oil
Fresh Fruit
Day 3 – Low Carb Meal
Sautéed Onions and Green Beans
Cabbage, Shredded and Sautéed (or substitute Buttered Noodles for the Carb-Lovers)
Day 4 – Crockpot Meal
Crock Pot Beef Stew with added Green, Red & Yellow Peppers
Dinner Rolls (like Schar Ciabatta or Udi's Seeded Dinner Rolls)
Peach Sorbet
Day 5
Roasted Chicken Breasts on Mixed Salad Greens with Avocado
(I'll roast the chicken while the bread is baking, or I could use leftovers from the freezer if I have them)
Pumpkin Bread with Honey and Maple Syrup
Day 6 – 30 Minute Meal
New England Clam Chowder
Butter Lettuce and Spinach Salad with Vinaigrette
Orange Sherbet
Day 7 – Paleo Diet
Chicken Stew with Carrots and Celery
Mashed Potatoes with Butter or Ghee
Best Ever Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies from Brittany, Real Sustenance
This gluten-free menu plan is designed for those with gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or celiac (coeliac) disease, but I've found that people who have no food allergies like these gluten-free recipes, too. They are wheat-free recipes, as well as barley-free and rye-free. They are suitable for a wheat-free diet, and many are also suitable for the paleo diet or may be casein-free, dairy-free, egg-free, lactose-free, nut-free or refined sugar-free.
Would you like to find out more about how you too can eat and live gluten-free? If you would, check out my latest book by clicking the book cover below. It's easier than you think :-)!
