text: DirectionsMeeting locationsCurrently, the math circle groups meet in several rooms on the 3rd, 5th, and 6th floors in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA, as well as at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM). IPAM is located close to the MS building, see campus map. Important NoteThe Mathematical Science Building is locked on Sundays. Only the glass doors on the 5th floor (entry from the breezeway with vending machines) are unlocked during the times of the math circle. Directions to the Mathematics Sciences Building(Any of these steps direct you to the same entrance to the Mathematical Sciences Building. Click on "View larger map" and then on "directions" below for Google directions from your current location). Public transportationSeveral bus companies (including the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus and the Culver City Bus) serve the UCLA campus. On Sundays, busses stop at the Ackerman Union bus terminal. It can be found on the left side of the map above (marked by a small bus icon). From the bus terminal, walk up a stairway between the Ackerman Union (UCLA Store) and an Engineering building. You will see the Math Sciences building to your right. Keep walking until you see an archway with some vending machines. Enter the archway and go through glass doors to your right. ParkingThe closest pay-by hour parking lots are P2 (enter campus on Hilgard/Westholme) and P8 (enter via Westwood Blvd or Strathmore Pl). Alternatively, daily parking permits can be purchased for $12 from the parking kiosk as you enter the campus - these daily permits only apply to lot 9. Important Note. Campus police will issue citations for improperly parked vehicles, or vehicles parked in parking or delivery spaces without an appropriate permit. The only parking allowed on Portola Plaza (street next to IPAM) requires a Disabled Person Parking Placard. Inside the Mathematical Sciences BuildingAs described above, you should have entered the Mathematical sciences building on its 5th floor through glass doors in an archway with vending machines. Immediately as you enter, you will see an elevator on your left. MS5200 is across the elevator, to the right of the glass doors as you enter. For rooms on the 3rd floor: Do not take the elevator next to the glass doors at the 5th floor entrance, as it does not serve the third floor. Instead, keep walking past it, following the corridor. At the very end of the corridor, there will be two elevators. Take either one to the third floor. For MS3915A, exit to the right from the elevator; the room is the first one you will see. MS3915D, MS3915D and MS3915H are down the same corridor. For MS3974, turn left exiting the elevator and then immediately left again, entering a long corridor. The room is at its end.

Atorlip-20 is used to treat high cholesterol. Atorlip-20 is also used to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications in people with coronary heart disease or type 2 diabetes. Atorlip-20 is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body. Atorlip-20 reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease.
Use Atorlip-20 as directed by your doctor.
- Take Atorlip-20 by mouth with or without food.
- Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice may increase the amount of Atorlip-20 in your blood, which may increase your risk for serious side effects. The risk may be greater with large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice. Avoid large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice (eg, more than one quart daily). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about including grapefruit or grapefruit juice in your diet while you are taking Atorlip-20.
- Continue to take Atorlip-20 even if you feel well. Do not miss any dose.
- If you miss a dose of Atorlip-20, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Atorlip-20.
Store Atorlip-20 at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Atorlip-20 out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Active Ingredient: Atorvastatin Calcium.

About the sizes choosing, we cannot provide specific answer this question specifically because there are too many doll companies and dolls.
We suggest to consult the doll company, or make measurement by yourself. Please take the photo measurement way as reference.
As the photo you can see, Nerine eyes socket width is around 13.5MM. In order to fit the eyes, we suggest to choose eyes adding 2~3 MM , so 16MM is fit.
Eye socket up&down highest part is around 7.6MM, so choosing eyes with 8MM Iris can fit normally ; Iris 8.5-9MM: look gentle/cute; Iris smaller than 7.5MM: energy/wary/sharp-witted.
As we clarify in each page: our glass eyes are made by 3 Artists; each series sizes are different ( we normally added the reference sizes in each page) ,
in addition, glass eyes are handmade products, each patch is with slight differences.
(for example: DIM company doll Luria, the eyes socket is 14MM which cannot put eyes even bigger 0.5MM ; Or SOOM company eyes socket has big limitation on the eyes size)

(b) The Auctioneers do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, date, condition or quality of any lot unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor to so certify. (c) All statements whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matters set out in (b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representation of fact by the Auctioneers unless they have been instructed by the vendor to so certify.

(a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot from the auction, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or without previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the Auctioneers discretion. (b) The highest bidder shall be the buyer. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of the bidding or refuse a bid. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he has absolute discretion to settle it or to re-offer the lot.

The vendor agrees to be bound by the Auctioneers decision.
The Auctioneer disclaims responsibility for default either by the buyer or the vendor because he acts as Auctioneer only and therefore does not pay out to the vendor until payment is received from the buyer.

This levy is to be charged to the purchaser. In bidding, you accept that you will be charged in accordance with the terms of the Act. An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for the levy. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling is worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork is sold. The threshold for the day will be announced at the beginning of the sale. The levy is 4% on up to 50,000 euros, 3% from 50,000-200,000 euros, 1% from 200,000-350,000 euros, 0.5% from 350,000-500,000 euros and n0.25% on a hammer price exceeding 500,000 euros. There is a cap of 12,500 euros payable on any one work. Please note: this scale is cumulative, which means that where the sale price is higher than the first threshold, the royalty on each portion of the price must be calculated accordingly and added together to arrive at the final sum. For example, take an artwork that sells for €210,000. The first €50,000 would achieve 4% (€2,000), the next 150,000 would achieve 3% (€4,500), and the final €10,000 would achieve 1% (€100). The total royalties due would be €6,600.

Your healthcare provider will ask you about your health history. They will give you a physical exam. You may also have these tests to diagnose a stroke.
CT scan. This test uses X-rays and a computer to make pictures of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body. This includes bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are used to find changes or defects. They can also help find the site or type of stroke.
MRI scan. This test uses large magnets, radio waves, and a computer without the use of X-ray. It makes detailed images of tissues in the body. It uses magnetic fields to see small changes in brain tissue. This helps to find and diagnose stroke.
Radionuclide angiography. This is a type of nuclear brain scan. It is only done in special cases. A radioactive tracer is injected into a vein in the arm. Then a machine creates a map showing the tracer's movement to different parts of the head. This shows how the brain works. It can often find areas of reduced blood flow and tissue damage.
CT angiography. This test uses CT scan technology to get images of blood vessels by injecting a contrast material.
Magnetic resonance angiography. This test checks blood flow through arteries using MRI technology by injecting a contrast material.
Conventional cerebral angiogram. A tube (catheter) is used to check cerebral blood. It can find the exact site of the blood vessel blockage.
Electroencephalogram (EEG). This test records the brain's electrical signals. It uses electrodes put on your scalp. This can be a routine EEG study. Or it may be ongoing, long-term monitoring.
Evoked potentials. These tests record the brain's electrical response to light, sound, and touch.
Doppler sonography (carotid ultrasound). A handheld probe (transducer) sends sound waves into a blood vessel to check blood flow. A very faint sound, or no sound, may mean a problem with blood flow.
Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. A transducer is used to send sound waves through the skull. This can find problems with the blood vessels below.
Ocular plethysmography. This test measures pressure on the eyes. It can also finds pulses in the eyes.
Cerebral blood flow test (inhalation method). This test measures the amount of oxygen in the blood supply that reaches different areas of the brain.
Digital subtraction angiography. This test makes an image of the blood vessels in the brain. This is used to find a problem with blood flow. A small, thin tube (catheter) is placed in a leg artery. It is passed up to the blood vessels in the brain. A contrast dye is injected into the catheter. Then X-ray images are taken.

Exploring and providing the Controversial Kaitlyn Krems N*de Sh*wer Onlyfans Le@ked Video: A Detailed Analysis.
Within the last few days, an episode called Kaitlyn Krems N*de Sh*wer Onlyfans Le@ked Video has been going viral on social media, raising questions on morality, privacy, and safety.
The objective of this broad overview is to explore the nature of the original video, its content, ethics, impact on society and media as well as possible consequences.
Unveiling the Mystery: Origins of the Video
On the note, it is unclear where the Kaitlyn Krems N*de Sh*wer Onlyfans Le@ked Video originated from. It first appeared as a post on the GiggleWave blog with an added reference on the GiggleWave Reddit account before being published on Twitter.
Information about the cause and reason for it are unclear, hence creating different opinions, discussions, and rumors found in different blogs.
There have been numerous conspiracy theories circulating based on a lack of clarity about the origin of this video due to active engagement within the online public.
Finally, it is worth noting that the story becomes more intricate with a secret le@ker who leaves his identity unknown. This leads to the audience and online investigator's speculations on their suspicion.
The Content and Its Impact
It is a video lasting between some seconds and minutes which features age-inappropriate material. Therefore, it arouses curiosity as well as discussion among the viewers.
There are various types of reactions that they exhibit, among them surprise and doubtfulness followed by sympathy which is a deep concern for others' lives. The video has attracted hot debates on most social channels and forums.
The video not only challenges societal precepts on the subject of s*x, but it also starts an argument about what kind of consent is acceptable and appropriate in the current age under the heading "Grey Area".
However, some people are now beginning to reflect on their own digital trail and envisage the ramifications of their acts in a world where the boundaries between private and public online space are increasingly indistinct.
Looking Ahead: Continued Discussions
There will be a continued debate on the video, with possible updates regarding newer developments and disclosures. The outcome of ongoing conversations will depend highly on the decision that each party concerned decides to take.
Expert opinions and new findings will be brought forth as the story unfolds to make it more interesting.
As a result, technological advancements will probably lead to a revision of existing laws as well as ethical codes aimed at addressing emerging societal needs.
Privacy preservation should be the focus when dealing with the d@ngers that are eminent in the contemporary world due to the advancements in technology.
Conclusion: A Reflection on the Impact
The Kaitlyn Krems N*de Sh*wer Onlyfans Le@ked Video therefore is a vivid illustration of how far-reaching today's implications from media content exposed to the public are.
That raises crucial questions regarding the nexus of technology, ethics, and the law. This is an inc!dent that will have a bearing on future discussions and views.
In the course of our existence in the contemporary world where everything is fast-paced, it is paramount that we develop an appropriate ethos in which we appreciate informed permission, privacy, and proper conduct.
The Kaitlyn Krems N*de Sh*wer Onlyfans Le@ked Video makes us reflect on our roles of being digital citizens at present and what it means, collectively, to uphold the values protecting individuality and the sanity of society.

Adult Female
Name: unnamed
Species: Nandi Bear
Birthday: Saturday, July 6, 2024
Last Breed: 2 days, 23 hours, 45 minutes ago
Owner: shaddragon
Element: Neutral
This large bear, with shoulders as tall as most magi, is the perfect companion for desert exploration and long expeditions. Very resilient and with great endurance, this large sandy brown bear has shoulders that are higher than its rear, giving its back a natural slope that makes this creature easy to mount. Nandi bears are become very strong adults and, if they allow you to, can be easily ridden for many miles. Usually found in the hottest part of the Keep, nandi bears get along with any and all creatures and are very curious. If they aren't found near the fire creatures, they could be anywhere, as they love to explore.. Is your nandi companion playing with the sea creatures in the lake, or playing in that field with the direwolves? Either way, you know that it will return before nightfall, because its loyalty will always lead it back to you.
Naturally very dangerous, predatory creatures, nandi bears can be found on the borderlands of the Etain Desert and the land of Voltar. Always hungry, nandi bears have obtained a bad reputation for eating humans as a last resort when there are no more food sources available. Local tribesmen believe them to be the incarnation of evil spirits and they are feared throughout the world. No one save for the brave magi will even attempt to hunt them down. When trained by magi, however, these creatures are much like a large canine - very loyal to their magi, but with the ferocity of a wild cat. When searching for these elusive creatures, it is hard to recognize the shapes if they are far away. Nandi bears have many different color variations, making them similar in color to many other desert dwelling creatures and difficult to spot. One of the major problems with nandi bears is in obtaining their eggs. Nandi bears are very protective of their young, as well as their family. If you are able to distract a wild nandi bear long enough to get an egg, you are in for a journey that ends in a very protective, loyal friend.

Clayton Kershaw (2-1, 1.16) vs. Tyson Ross (0-1, 4.82).
I don't know what's worse, the fact that tonight is Hello Kitty Fleece Blanket night (Charley Steiner said yesterday that it was sold out, but tickets appear to be readily available online), or the fact that the Dodgers already feel the need to distribute items for fans to use to shield their eyes from the horrors on the field.
This three-game "homestand" (more like a "home drive by") mercifully ends tonight, as Clayton Kershaw tries to keep a stiff upper lip despite suffering through three games of the Dodgers' pathetic offense. The Dodgers have scored a run in only two of the frames in the three games when he's pitched--and one of the Dodgers' "big" scoring innings was only catalyzed after Kershaw knocked his own HR, the first of his career (on opening day).
Maybe it's Kershaw who needs the fleece blanket, so he can stay warm juxtaposed with the Dodgers' ice-cold bats.
But enough worrying about how the Padres will sweep if Tyson corners us. How about something uplifting? Watch this masterpiece:

When I was a young and impressionable graduate student at Princeton, we scared each other with the story of a Final Public Oral, where Jack Milnor was dragged in against his will to sit on a committee, and noted that the class of topological spaces discussed by the speaker consisted of finite spaces. I had assumed this was an "urban legend", but then at a cocktail party, I mentioned this to a faculty member, who turned crimson and said that this was one of his students, who never talked to him, and then had to write another thesis (in numerical analysis, which was not very highly regarded at Princeton at the time). But now, I have talked to a couple of topologists who should have been there at the time of the event, and they told me that this was an urban legend at their time as well, so maybe the faculty member was pulling my leg.
So, the questions are: (a) any direct evidence for or against this particular disaster? (b) what stories kept you awake at night as a graduate student, and is there any evidence for or against their truth?
EDIT (this is unrelated, but I don't want to answer my own question too many times): At Princeton, there was supposedly an FPO in Physics, on some sort of statistical mechanics, and the constant $k$ appeared many times. The student was asked:
Examiner: What is $k?$
Student: Boltzmann's constant.
Examiner: Yes, but what is the value?
Student: Gee, I don't know...
Examiner: OK, order of magnitude?
Student: Umm, don't know, I just know $k\dots$
The student was failed, since he was obviously not a physicist.

Garlic Ginger Basil Salmon - A Food Stylist's Nightmare
There really isn't anything to not like about this recipe…unless you are a food stylist. I can't think of a harder recipe to make look great in a photo. The chopped basil turns dark green as soon as it hits the sauce, and against the coral fish, looks almost black. In fact, as I admit in the video, I almost skipped the basil knowing what dark horrors it would inflict on my beautiful sauce.
Luckily, I didn't succumb to such superficial concerns as the flavor the herb gives the salmon is critical. When cooking, the form verses function debate is always settled with a fork. By the way, you can make three equally delicious versions of this by using cilantro, or mint, in place of the basil. Enjoy!
2 center-cut salmon fillet
salt to taste
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp brown sugar
hot chili sauce to taste (I used 1/2 tsp)
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp chopped basil
48 comments:
That would also work great on chicken breasts. I luv thai flavors.

Chef- great site, I rarely disagree w/ you, but this is not the application for basil. I'm gonna do it w/ cilantro, as God intended.

that really looks delish! I'm more of a meat lover, but I really need to learn how to cook fish. I noticed that a lot of your salmon recipes are under the broiler, and I don't have one (poo hoo right?).. So thank you soooo much for doing a fish recipe in a pan!!
Is it important to use a nonstick pan for fish? - October 10, 2008 at 9:33 PM
- Chef John said...
sure is easier w/ nonstick, but it can work in cast iron or steel
- October 10, 2008 at 9:47 PM
ha... for some reason i really stink at cooking salmon... im going to do follow everything except im going to fry it, since apparently thats the only way it'll turn out right for me
- October 10, 2008 at 9:58 PM
my mom makes something similar to this.. cept she puts fish sauce in a small bowl with chopped red chile peppers.. and some ginger i believe.. and she fries the salmon like you :)
it's really good and nice video mr.john! i look forward to your next videos :) - October 10, 2008 at 10:45 PM
Have you ever tried using Thai basil Chef? I always cringe when I read a recipe that says if you can't find Thai basil use the regular kind.
- October 11, 2008 at 7:51 AM
- Chef John said...
yes i love thai basil! that would be great here.
- October 11, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Thanks for posting a simple yet delicious looking sauce. I'm going to try it as soon as I round up the ingredients.

I love your videos! lol xD
- October 11, 2008 at 10:11 PM
absolutely wonderful chef. i wish others of your vocation could come to understand that (simple) level of integrity... the basil turns black; but it tastes good. it's not especially camera-friendly; but it works. if you could manage to teach that to all the other chefs-on-camera; you might, single-handedly, restore edible home cooking. (do they have a noble prize for that yet?)
- October 13, 2008 at 11:57 PM
Very yummy sweet&sour. My husband and I loved it. Thanks.
- October 19, 2008 at 8:17 PM
can use normal sugar?
i wan try! i live in Singapore! - October 29, 2008 at 9:51 AM
- 巴黎的花 said...
Hey i just tried this with just regular sugar and chinese vinegar. I didn't have fresh basil leaves so i just threw in some basil from the supermarket and barely tasted at all. BUT it still worked excellently. I guess this gingered sweet-sour flavor is simply good for salmon.

i tried this on samon, and then on veil the next day. It worked really well on both! Tomorrow I'll try on pork; but I'm jewish so I cant let anyone see me ;)
- November 14, 2008 at 6:42 PM
That was the first time that I cooked salmon. It was very easy to make and I'd have to say that it came out delicious!

Hi chef! I´m sooo making this dish tonight! It looks lovely!
- May 28, 2009 at 9:23 AM
Looking for anyone's opinion:
I have a small bottle of sake. Can I use that as a substitute for rice vinegar? - June 12, 2009 at 4:32 AM
- Chef John said...
sake isn't fermented, and doesn't have the sweet and sour flavor that rice vinegar does. There are sake glazed salmon recipes, but won't be the same in this recipe.

This recipe was simple and taste amazing. A must try even if you don't particularly like salomon. Thanks for the great eat!
- December 20, 2009 at 5:29 PM
Dear Chef John,
wow! I mean WOW! I've been cooking your recipes for nearly 2 years now, but this really blew my mind away! Fantastic taste and soooo easy to make! - April 28, 2010 at 1:12 PM
this is like the best salmon recipe and so easy to make. So tasty and fantastic if youre in a rush and need to whip up a quick tasty meal. - June 21, 2010 at 9:17 PM
Thank you! I just tried and it taste really goooood! So easy and fast!
- January 27, 2011 at 9:47 PM
this recipe is what made me start to love salmon. so fast and easy to make but tastes amazing. thanks a bunch!

I love garlic. I love ginger. I love basil. I really, really, really love salmon.
I was wondering, do you recommend using wild salmon or farmed? Some favor farmed salmon because it is cheaper. However, I have also read that wild salmon has higher Omega-3 content and astaxanthin in it. I live in a remote area so it's not easy to find good fresh salmon so I end up ordering it online. But I never know what kind to buy? Should I buy Atlantic salmon? Or Pacific salmon? Or Alaskan salmon. Or should I order farmed salmon or wild salmon?
Thanks and looking forward to your response,
Ariel - March 6, 2011 at 8:44 PM
- Chef John said...
I prefer wild west coast!
- March 6, 2011 at 9:37 PM
I just tried this and it was awesome! I did make a few substitutions because I didn't have the exact ingredients.
Rather than rice vinegar, I used apple cider vinegar. Rather than using the hot chili sauce, I used red pepper. I also used ground ginger instead of minced. Instead of fresh chopped basil I used the other kind you find in the seasoning aisle of a grocery store.
I made the mistake of putting the basil in the sauce and mixing it in but everything turned out just fine.
I will definitley be making this in the future. The whole prep, cooking, and serving took about 20 minutes.
Thanks for the great recipe. - July 4, 2011 at 7:39 PM
- Michael Pang said...
Can I use dried basil instead of fresh chopped basil? Buying fresh basil is kind of a hassle because if I don't use it all up soon, it just dries up and becomes an expensive waste. Therefore, is it possible to use dried basil leaves instead? Will it affect any of the taste? Thanks.
- July 18, 2011 at 9:20 PM
- Chef John said...
sorry, but dried has a much different flavor. fresh is best.

Hi Chef John!
I'm going to be making this dish (or the grilled version depending on how lazy my husband will be feeling) for Armenian xmas on January 6th (we eat fish for that day). This will be my first holiday dish for his family since we got married, and I think they'll love it!
Here's my question (finally): I'll be making the dish for about 12 people, do you think it would be ok for me to maybe cook the salmon on one of those large griddles so I can do multiple at a time? - December 9, 2011 at 2:33 PM
- Chef John said...
Don't see why it wouldn't work. Enjoy!

Chef John,
You are the MAN!!! Thanks for sharing not only this recipe, but all the recipes on this blog. You are very kind to do so and it exemplifies your passion for great food. I'm a homecook who loves to eat great food but can't always afford to go out to have it (have lil rascals and a california home mortgage), but because of your AWESOME blog my family and I can make and eat great food without sacrificing the loss of our home and lifestyle. Thank you so much from me/my family, and all the other cooks who enjoy and cherish your blog. Bless you! P.S. I am also from WNY. - March 14, 2012 at 8:52 AM
- Chef John said...
Thank you!!! I love doing the blog!
- March 14, 2012 at 12:19 PM
hey chef! i was wondering if instead of water can i add chicken stock? and instead of hot chill sauce since i suffer from acid reflex i can remove that from the recipe? ^ ^
- April 12, 2012 at 5:00 AM

Trying this tonight !!!! Can't wait :)

After turning a beautiful piece of salmon into something I forced my husband to eat even though it was practically inedible because I'd grilled all moisture from it, I turned to the internet and found this recipe! I made it three days ago and am making it tonight when my daughter comes home. IT was so good that the extra piece I was going to take for lunch the next day disappeared that night. I bookmarked your blog. Maybe I CAN cook seafood! Thanks, Chef!

- Grillex the Dub Chef said...
Which wine would you recommend with this dish? I am thinking Pinot Noir because of the salmon but the more "exotic" flavoring might go better with a riesling. I'm no wine pro though.
- July 1, 2012 at 10:37 PM
- Chef John said...
sorry, u asked wrong guy...i like everything with everything! ;)
- July 1, 2012 at 11:15 PM

Thank you Chef. I took the middle road and served both the Pinot Noir and the Riesling and let the guests choose. Both worked great!

Grilling or frying salmon tends to stink up the kitchen.
We love salmon. We buy individual peices and oven fan bake at 350F for 15-20 mins. uncovered in either a baking dish or baking sheet on cooking paper.I use this technique for all salmon recipes which i have adapted. While salmon is cooking I can make the sauce or salsa to accompany it and do the salad or other vege.
A cherry tomatoe caper salsa is our fav closely followed by a creamy lemon/caper sauce. Just GOOGLE. - June 19, 2013 at 7:20 PM
- Unknown said...
I just cooked this. Very delicious, and most importantly suppppper easy!
- March 7, 2014 at 2:00 PM
Just made this, subbed dried basil for fresh and half white vinegar/half water for the rice vinegar. It was still really delicious, although my salmon stuck to the pan when I tried to flip it and I lost all the brown crust.
- February 22, 2015 at 1:16 AM

Do you need to cook the sause before pouring it in the fry pan?
- April 4, 2016 at 7:46 PM

Delicious recepie, one of our absolute favorites!
Was wondering if there is any way to prepare this dish in the oven for a big dinner? If so, how? - May 13, 2018 at 1:59 PM

Aubusson Blue in the foyer
January 14, 2013
Share this
I've shown you our foyer a million times, most recently right around Thanksgiving:
I've mentioned once or a hundred times that I wanted to paint that buffet. I am tired of all the black dressers in our house! Thing is, many of them have come from the same source. I bought this one and at least one other from a Craigslist seller. She finds some great pieces and paints them all black.
The one in my office will stay black, just because I love it so very much as is. This one in the foyer just needed something, especially right by that black front door.
So something it got…in the form of Aubusson Blue chalk paint:
I have loved this color from the first time I saw it last year and knew I wanted to use it in my house somewhere. I'm pretty much obsessed with deep, rich blues right now. Which is funny because five years ago you couldn't find blue anywhere around here.
The great thing about chalk paint is the no sanding/no priming part. I did sand this down a bit though, because the paint was really rough in some spots -- it's always bothered me:
I hate sanding but I did it super fast – like two minutes for the whole piece – just the spots that felt rough on the doors and drawer fronts.
After a wipe down, I was ready to go and was super excited to see how well the paint went on:
I realized pretty quick I was going to get away with just one coat and I was stoked! Whoo!! Thing is, I wasn't perfect about it – I didn't mind seeing a hint of the black coming through. That was my goal really. I did a good coat, and if I was a perfectionist I would have gone back for another, but I'm not. So I didn't. :)
I decided to rough up the top with sandpaper too, because I keep a lot of my tools in this dresser and I am not gentle to the top of it:
I figured a quick sanding never hurts. I did just one coat of the blue on the top too. I was thinking of some fun way to do the dresser – maybe two tone, maybe sanding down the top and staining it…but I just wanted this done and really? I'm just a simple girl at heart. Paint it and done.
Well, paint it and then wax it that is. I have tried both the Annie Sloan and CeCe Caldwell wax and I like the latter just a bit more –- it's just a tad lighter and easier to work with in my opinion.
I wiped it on (like I showed you here) and then buffed it off well – but I think too well. The top is still chalky when stuff hits it so I need at least one more good coat. I'm always afraid to leave any kind of film for fear it won't dry well, so I take a lot off.
Here's the deal. This chalk paint stuff is expensive. But get this…it lasts forEVER. And I can promise you there is NO way I would have been able to cover something like this with one coat in regular latex. Just no way.
Here's proof that it lasts forever – this is all I used:
You can compare that to the pic of the new paint can above. Go ahead. I'll wait.
Crazy eh? So in my mind, the ease of use (no primer) and the great coverage makes it worth it to me to splurge every once and a while. Now I just need to decide what else I'm painting this color! :)
I absolutely ADORE how it came out:
It's fun and pretty and I love it in the foyer – it makes me happy that visitors will see this first thing when the walk in!
I did quite a bit of distressing, just so it didn't look perfect – cause things don't stay perfect around here anyway so I just helped it along. I just did the edges and raised parts with some sand paper – the areas that normally get wear over time.
I pulled from all over the house to accessorize:
I want to redo that whole gallery above the dresser, but it's funny how well that blue ties in to the art above. I did a super fast coat of the blue on the bottom frame to ground that a little bit too.
And I love that it ties in to our DIY art in the reflection:
So pretty!! I just love how it turned out!
Now…onto the tile in the foyer! I'm more determined to replace that now more than ever.
Doesn't it look like spring to you? It does me:
Mother Nature is determined to remind us it's a long way off though – it is absolutely freezing here today!
Again, here are the details on this project:
Color/paint: Aubusson Blue, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
Protective wax: CeCe Caldwell clear wax
Painted with a wide angled brush.
You can see my other chalk paint adventures here and here!
So are you a chalk paint fan? Have you made your own? I'm still wanting to try that out too.

Could there be a method to the madness of UCLA's pre-Tournament mess? Better question: SHOULD there be?
A presumptive NCAA Tournament 1-seed, the Bruins' quarterfinal loss to
But since when has a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament (versus a 2-seed or a 3-seed) ever guaranteed anything? I've hammered this for weeks: Seeding is irrelevant; matchups are all.
However, here IS a guarantee: By losing, UCLA will NOT have to play two more games over the next two days.
Is there a correlation between mileage logged in a conference tournament and NCAA Tournament success? (Or, alternatively, is there a correlation between momentum gained during a deep conference-tourney run and NCAA Tournament success?)
I suspect not, and the most obvious evidence is that, each year, half-a-dozen big-league conference tournament champs do NOT win the NCAA title. And at least 11 of the 12 top-seeded teams in the NCAA Tournament (if not all 12) do not win the NCAA title.
Given UCLA's secure status as, at worst, a 2-seed, they might as well concentrate on the only tournament title that matters: The NCAA title.
(Feel free to make the leap based on what I'm saying: If I'm a fan of a team with a 1-, 2- or 3-seed, I could take it or leave it whether I win my conference tournament title. Who cares? NCAA title or bust.)
Meanwhile, how intriguing is Duke's seeding status? After losing in the first round (FIRST round!) of the ACC Tournament, I can't believe the Dukies will pull a Top 4-seeding. (More intriguing: How quickly they'll flame out. Who's got "first weekend" in the over/under?)
So where DO you seed Duke: 5? 6? 7? I'm rooting for them to pull the dreaded 5-seed or pull the 6-seed and get 11-seed VCU in the first round or pull a 7-seed and get 10-seed
The natural follow-up question is whether the Selection Committee will factor in the absence of suspended Duke stud Gerald Henderson?
If they're not going to take into consideration EVERY time any team had any player missing – or even not playing at full strength due to injury – they shouldn't factor in
Women's College Hoops: Pokey Chatman Resigns. I love all of the euphemisms and vague descriptions being thrown around by mainstream media, all trying to either write around the fact that Chatman had a romantic relationship with a player. (While the player was still in school? After they left? Rumor is that the player was still in school.) How much of this vague-speak has to do with the fact that it would have been a gay relationship and mainstream sports media is absolutely, fundamentally and embarassingly incapable of handling that?
Let's provide a helpful reminder: A coach should never have a romantic relationship with a player. Man, woman. Straight, gay. Doesn't matter. Never. Sexuality isn't the issue here; power is.
More March Madness:

ACC: What the hell happened to
Meanwhile, did
SEC: After knocking off
Big 12: Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Kansas State-Texas Tech a virtual play-in game for an at-large bid? (If not, it should be.) CORRECTION: I have been told by my Big 12 spies that Tech is a lock. (Really? Even if they lose here?) However, K-State absolutely needs this win.
Meanwhile, I think Texas A&M is in for a hell of a game tonight against
Pac-10: Prediction: I think the

Stalking the Selection Committee? Awesome.
Update: This post is yet another reason why Pete Thamel and Co. are surging with their "Bracket" blog on NYTimes.com.
As we head into the final stretch before Selection Sunday, it's worth beginning to consider who your "It" team is. (But remember: It's all about the individual game matchups.)
More of today's biggest storylines:
Tom Brady: From All-Pro to All-Preg! Um, is Gisele Bundschen pregnant with Tom Brady's baby? Between Bridget's and Bundschen's buns in the over, that's an awkward weekend visitation situation.
(For those of you who mocked me for calling Tom Brady the new Shawn Kemp, who's laughing now? You cannot possibly deny Brady's ascension to Kemp Status now.)
Meanwhile: I appreciate that Tom probably should spread his seed as far and wide as he possibly can (and I'm sure there's a line of ladies who would be interested), but he should consider either (a) condoms or (b) a vasectomy.
NFL: Willis McGahee traded to Ravens. Seems like a good upgrade for both McGahee (who will get a fat new deal) and Baltimore. What will the Bills do to fill McGahee's role? Word is that they're looking at Chris Brown or Dom Rhodes.
More: Rams sign TE Randy McMichael; Dolphins sign K Jay Feeley (Doesn't he understand leaving NYC will hurt his Tiki-wannabe TV career?)
NBA: Spurs win 11th straight. Everyone keeps talking about the Mavs as the team to beat. Or this being the Suns' year. Wait until the Spurs simply plod along and win yet another NBA title.
You will see every self-respecting all-sports or NBA blog pick this up: It's a hilarious parody of that Nike "Second Coming" TV ad. These guys deserve huge credit (as do We Are the Postmen for the find).
NHL: Chris Simon stick-as-weapon hit. I'm with Melrose: Suspend the guy for the rest of the season. That was assault. Isn't there a code among players that you just don't do that?
NHL: Why is it that the only time the NHL makes national news these days is for scandal? It seems their union honchos "pulled an HP" and tried to monitor players' emails. No wonder the players fired Goodenow.
MLB: Who had "March 8" in the "Mike Hampton Injury" Office Pool?
MLB PED Watch: Journeyman pitcher Darren Holmes the latest to be linked to this latest PED scandal. (Doesn't that affirm the Baseball Prospectus Theory that PEDs were mostly used by the talentless players at the margins?)
I also have a question: Is SI.com going to name these guys in dribs and drabs every other day? Are they sitting on a larger list and releasing it piecemeal simply to drive traffic to the Web site?
If you're staying offline all weekend (and with all the hoops to watch, I don't blame you), be sure to check back on Monday for a complete Bracket breakdown.

Trumpeted as earthy in flavor and smooth on the palate, the exotic new brew is made from beans eaten by Thai elephants and plucked a day later from their dung. A gut reaction inside the elephant creates what its founder calls the coffee's unique taste.
Stomach turning or oddly alluring, this is not just one of the world's most unusual specialty coffees. At $1,100 per kilogram ($500 per pound), it's also among the world's priciest.
For now, only the wealthy or well-traveled have access to the cuppa, which is called Black Ivory Coffee. It was launched last month at a few luxury hotels in remote corners of the world — first in northern Thailand, then the Maldives and now Abu Dhabi — with the price tag of about $50 a serving.
The Associated Press traveled to the coffee's production site in the Golden Triangle, an area historically known for producing drugs more potent than coffee, to see the jumbo baristas at work. And to sip the finished product from a dainty demitasse.
In the misty mountains where Thailand meets Laos and Myanmar, the coffee's creator cites biology and scientific research to answer the basic question: Why elephants?
"When an elephant eats coffee, its stomach acid breaks down the protein found in coffee, which is a key factor in bitterness," said Blake Dinkin, who has spent $300,000 developing the coffee. "You end up with a cup that's very smooth without the bitterness of regular coffee."
The result is similar in civet coffee, or kopi luwak, another exorbitantly expensive variety extracted from the excrement of the weasel-like civet. But the elephants' massive stomach provides a bonus.
Think of the elephant as the animal kingdom's equivalent of a slow cooker. It takes between 15-30 hours to digest the beans, which stew together with bananas, sugar cane and other ingredients in the elephant's vegetarian diet to infuse unique earthy and fruity flavors, said the 42-year-old Canadian, who has a background in civet coffee.
"My theory is that a natural fermentation process takes place in the elephant's gut," said Dinkin. "That fermentation imparts flavors you wouldn't get from other coffees."
At the jungle retreat that is home to the herd, conservationists were initially skeptical about the idea.
"My initial thought was about caffeine — won't the elephants get wired on it or addicted to coffee?" said John Roberts, director of elephants at the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, a refuge for rescued elephants. It now earns 8 percent of the coffee's total sales, which go toward the herd's health care. "As far as we can tell there is definitely no harm to the elephants."
Before presenting his proposal to the foundation, Dinkin said he worked with a Canadian-based veterinarian that ran blood tests on zoo elephants showing they don't absorb any caffeine from eating raw coffee cherries.
"I thought it was well worth a try because we're looking for anything that can help elephants to make a living," said Roberts, who estimates the cost of keeping each elephant is about $1,000 a month.
As for the coffee's inflated price, Dinkin half-joked that elephants are highly inefficient workers. It takes 33 kilograms (72 pounds) of raw coffee cherries to produce 1 kilogram of (2 pounds) Black Ivory coffee. The majority of beans get chewed up, broken or lost in tall grass after being excreted.
And, his artisanal process is labor-intensive. He uses pure Arabica beans hand-picked by hill-tribe women from a small mountain estate. Once the elephants do their business, the wives of elephant mahouts collect the dung, break it open and pick out the coffee. After a thorough washing, the coffee cherries are processed to extract the beans, which are then brought to a gourmet roaster in Bangkok.
Inevitably, the elephant coffee has become the butt of jokes. Dinkin shared his favorites: Crap-accino. Good to the last dropping. Elephant poop coffee.
As far away as Hollywood, even Jay Leno has taken cracks.
"Here's my question," Leno quipped recently. "Who is the first person that saw a bunch of coffee beans and a pile of elephant dung and said, 'You know, if I ground those up and drank it, I'll bet that would be delicious.'"
Jokes aside, people are drinking it. Black Ivory's maiden batch of 70 kilograms (150 pounds) has sold out. Dinkin hopes to crank out six times that amount in 2013, catering to a customer he sees as relatively affluent, open-minded and adventurous with a desire to tell a good story.
For now, the only places to get it are a few Anantara luxury resorts, including one at the Golden Triangle beside the elephant foundation.
At sunset one recent evening in the hotel's hilltop bar, an American couple sampled the brew. They said it surpassed their expectations.
"I thought it would be repulsive," said Ryan Nelson, 31, of Tampa, Florida. "But I loved it. It was something different. There's definitely something wild about it that I can't put a name on."
His wife Asleigh, a biologist and coffee lover, called it a "fantastic product for an eco-conscious consumer," since the coffee helps fund elephant conservation.
But how does it taste?
"Very interesting," she said, choosing her words carefully. "Very novel."
"I don't think I could afford it every day on my zookeeper's salary," she said. "But I'm certainly enjoying it sitting here overlooking the elephants, on vacation."
