Don't worry about the blog...Rest and heal yourself!ReplyDelete

Yikes! Praying that all goes well, and that you recover quickly.ReplyDelete
You are welcome to recover here in the southern AZ sunshine (80 degrees tomorrow). I think it would help the healing process immensely, plus your wife and children would enjoy thawing out a bit, too! Seriously, I pray that the surgery goes well and that you recover quickly. And prayers for your helpers (family!), too!ReplyDelete
wow good luck on the surgery hope you get better quick =)ReplyDelete
Oh Nooooo! Good luck with the surgery, hope it all goes well, and here's to a speedy recovery :)ReplyDelete
Man that sucks. Hope your recovery goes well and is quick. I say we cancel the rest of winter and head into mid-spring..ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you get well real soon.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness I have only just started following you and now you wont be here for a while!! Hope you get well soon, guess this means no quilting for a while too, now that is a bummer. Take care. Linda in FranceReplyDelete
Oh NO! I do hope the surgery goes well and that you have a speedy recovery!! Take care and ((hugs))ReplyDelete
ouch! I hope you heal soon!ReplyDelete
oh John. I'm so sorry. As someone who has two plates and seven screws in my own right elbow, I will reassure you will be good as new and ready to sew again soon. Make sure you follow your PTs advice and keep very positive thoughts about healing.ReplyDelete
Ouch, I am so sorry. I wish you a safe surgery and a speedy recovery.ReplyDelete
You poor thing! I hope your surgery goes smoothly and that you heal quickly. I can imagine this is going to put quite a crimp in your sewing, but hopefully not for too long.ReplyDelete
Was it your sewing pedal knee? I hope not. All the best wishes for a really quick recovery.ReplyDelete
OUCH is right! Prayers for a successful surgery and recovery.ReplyDelete

Thinking of you! I hope the surgery goes well this morning and that you mend quickly.ReplyDelete
Good luck with your surgery. Hope you recovery quickly.ReplyDelete
Oh no, hope all is well with you today. Be careful on the roads. One of the schools in our area had a 2 hour delay because of ice.Darn that black ice....ReplyDelete
PS I'm in Granville County..just up the road from you
Here's wishing you a fast recovery.ReplyDelete
Take care of yourself! Don't worry about posts. Take it easy and rest up!ReplyDelete
oooouch! take it easy and good luck with your surgery.ReplyDelete
I've had my fair share of crashes on NC ice, take care, mend well and cozy up under some of your quilts!ReplyDelete
Oh man! That stinks. I pray that it heals correctly!ReplyDelete
My husband did a similar thing, except he cracked the end off his elbow and had to have loads of stuff in order to keep it together. He found this hand gripper thing to help regain his strength back in his hand and arm. If you need more info let me know.ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry!! I hope you heal fast and are back in the swing of things soon!ReplyDelete
ouch!! i feel some of your pain... i just had shoulder surgery 1 1/2 weeks ago and i've got that much left to go before i'm out of the sling and in PT. no sewing, writing or much else for me until then and sure you've got some of the same.ReplyDelete
good luck with surgery and have a speedy recovery!!
Hope your surgery was a success and your healing is swift!ReplyDelete
Hopefully your surgery was successful and the process of healing has already begun. May you be back doing the things you love real soon.ReplyDelete
Hope you feel better.ReplyDelete
Oh YOW! I used to encounter black ice on the roads when I lived near the Snowy Mountains. It's difficult to prepare for what you can't see. Hope your surgery goes well and you're back to stitching soon.ReplyDelete
Thinking of you. I hope surgery and recovery go smoothly and you're back on your feet soon. Best wishes!ReplyDelete
Take good care, John. Hope all goes well and that you're feeling better soon. All my best to you!ReplyDelete
Aack! (This is my first winter in NC, and I've noticed dreadful ice lingering far, far too long.) Wishing you a speedy recovery.ReplyDelete
Oh John, yikes! Hang in there, mend fast, and you'll be back to cutting and sewing again in no time. /patReplyDelete
Oh good luck with this - I so feel for you - both with the injury and even more so, with being held back from sewing. My husband had a large screw put in one of his fingers last year after a footballing injury - it was far less traumatic than anitcipated & the physiotherapy definitely helped hugely with regaining mobility quickly. His finger does look a bit odd, but men seem to wear these scars well!ReplyDelete
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Oh goodness. I can feel your pain (literally). I broke my elbow, both the radius and humerus (capitellum) on 11/2 and had ORIF surgery also. I am guessing you are right handed, as well. I'm a leftie and broke my left :( Not being able to sew has been a real bummer. I hope you are feeling good and wish you the best in your recovery. It takes a while and a lot of work, but being driven to get back on the sewing machine is a great motivator! Feel free to e-mail me if you want to ask questions or just vent or commiserate.ReplyDelete
Karen (naturemomm)
Ouch! Wishing you a speedy recovery.ReplyDelete
Oh No John, that sucks... I know how you feel I broke my foot yesterday and that sucks too.. surgery no! I hope not.. find out next week.I pray you recover very quickly and can sew again soon...Love the quilt in the next post.. looks fab.ReplyDelete

John don't feel alone I live in shelby and broke my right wrist last year and my left this year. The surgeon and I are now good friends. I left Chicago for warmer weather I thought. On a side note if you find a great new ergo cutter let us know. Good luck with rehab it takes time.ReplyDelete
That's horrible. You should take some Judo classes to learn how to fall without hurting yourself. It'll hopefully keep you from breaking anything else.ReplyDelete
This elbow thing is putting a damper on my hopes that I'll see something from Quilt Dad made from I Spy Spoonflower fabrics. :)ReplyDelete
Hope the forced slowing down is a good time for re-energizing!
So, when I first opened this post and only saw the top of the x-ray without reading the title or any context, the first thing I thought was Baby Ultrasound! lol! Sorry about your arm though :(ReplyDelete

Baking Fresh Cherry and Peach Upside-Down Cake on a Rainy Day
Last Thursday I was driving home on the freeway at 3:45 pm when the local traffic report came on:
Well, the 163 in both directions is heavy. So is the 5 North and South and the 805. Looks like everybody is leaving work early to avoid the rain that San Diegans are expecting tonight.
Yup. It's true. Southern Californians leave work early when rain is expected. OK bloggers from Seattle, go ahead and laugh. We deserve it.
For the record, I have never left early because of rain. I mean what kind of a New Englander would I be? And what would my dad think of me?
I guess Southern Californians don't really know any better. Why should they? It hardly ever rains here, and when it does, it wreaks havoc. No, I'm not talking about flooding and mudslides. I'm talking about traffic. You can see a half dozen accidents on one commute and get stuck in a traffic jam that lasts hours. Seriously, it was easier to get home after the blizzard of '78 than it is to get home after a "heavy rain shower" here in SoCal.
So I avoided the madness by doing what any good blogger would do: I went home and baked a cake. Isn't there something so comforting about the aroma of baking wafting through the house as the rain patters gently against the windows?
One of my favorites is my mom's Upside-Down Pineapple Cake, which was her mother's original recipe that is close to 70 years old! I will post the original in the fall, but today I wanted something that celebrated spring. With a gorgeous bowl of tart cherries and some sweet fresh peaches smiling at me, I found my inspiration. I added some freshly squeezed orange juice and zest which compliments the fruit and adds another dimension of flavor.
This is an amazingly light, moist cake that is only made more irresistible by a thick, sugary crust that holds the plump cherries and peaches firmly in place. After one mouthful, you'll wish it rained every day.
Fresh Cherry and Peach Upside-Down Cake
Makes 8 servings
Print recipe only here.
1/2 cup butter (8 tablespoons)
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
3-4 small, ripe peaches, pitted and halved
1 cup flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Place butter in a 9-inch-round baking pan, and place inside of a warm oven until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the butter. Add the peach halves, cut side down, then add the cherry halves, filling in all of the nooks and crannies.
In a medium bowl, combine sifted flour, baking powder and salt, and stir.
Using a hand mixer, in a metal or glass bowl, beat egg whites at high speed until fluffy. Set aside.
In a separate bowl beat egg yolks with sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract, and beat well. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, and beat until well combined. Fold in the egg whites with a rubber spatula. Pour cake mixture evenly over the fruit, and smooth with the spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run a blunt knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert carefully onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Quick Chocolate-Cinnamon Mousse with Cherries
Mini Custards with Limoncello-Spiked Raspberry Sauce
Strawberry-Rhubarb Sponge Pudding
PS--Witty Nuria just reminded me of that great 1974 song "It Never Rains in Southern California." It's an ideal match for my post, so I'm sending it to Elly for her fun Eat to the Beat event that runs through June. Make sure you watch this Albert Hammond You Tube video--it's worth it just to see his bell-bottoms and Bee-Gee's permed hair. Yikes.

LOL @ San Diegans leaving early because of rain! It's true Susan...you describe it well...the falling rain on the windows as the cake bakes gently and the aroma wafts through the entire house. Your summer version of this fall cake is delicious. Great use of stone fruits.

Wish it were raining here Susan...I can smell this wonderful cake! Have never tried an upside down cake...the last time I topped the cake with fruit, the son almost passed out. Insisted I box the whole thing & send it to the neighbours!! LOL...but this is one I HAVE to try. I'd bookmarked the other cherry post with the cinnamon-choc mousse for an indulgent dessert a while ago too! YUM!
- May 28, 2008 at 2:29 AM
This looks really lovely and fruity Susan! You must have such great fruit available with all that sunshine.
It did make me laugh, thinking of all those people dashing home from work because it *might* rain!

mmmm that looks good. i actually don't really like cherries when they're fresh, but looove them in baked goods. this sounds beautiful with the peaches. san diego's response to rain sorta sounds like the dc areas response to snow... the whole world shuts down with a flurry over here ;)

You're making me hungry AND homesick.
I'll never forget when I was producing the 5PM newscast in San Diego. It was a cloudy day with a little "spit" from the sky. I didn't even need to turn my windshield wipers on to deal with the precip. Ergo, I lead the newscast with something important.
In the post-show meeting, I got my rear end handed to me for not leading with The Storm. "You've got to stop thinking like a Midwesterner, Kelly!"
Still makes me smile ruefully.

I'm giggling right now (not unusual since your humorous posts always hit home : ) ). I made the reverse transition - Phoenix to Connecticut - and I recall many (many) an occasion whereby the teensiest bit of rain sent people into a panic. 20 MPH down the highway in a light drizzle!

Susan, now that I have started visiting your blog on a regular basis - why did it take me so long!! - I'm finding so many top notch recipes that I want to try. Cherries are coming into season and oh, how I love them. My mom used to make a pineapple upside down cake that was heavenly. This sounds just as fine. Thanks!

Hi Susan, I was just reading this book(The Produce Bible) when I came across some interesting information. Apparently jerusalem artichokes(or sunchokes) and kohlrabi are very good sources of calcium. I thought you might be interested since you have osteoporosis. We get kohlrabi very easily at Indian stores here...
Hope this helps!

Any kind of upside-down cake is so appealing, perhaps a reminder of that wonderful pineapple upside down cake with the perfect rings of pineapple and a cherry in the center of each. Peach and cherry (real cherries, not the bright red maraschino kind) sounds like a perfect combination.

Hee hee- I remember giggling at Californians' reactions to rain, even when it was a few inches! But I realized that all the oil on the roads actually does make a couple of inches of rain a real driving hazard! Anyway... I would love to try my hand at this cake of yours- as soon as I see some fresh cherries! Daiku and I are committed to going cherry picking in July.

Susan- you are so right. My hubby is an East Coaster and he is so frustrated when San Diegans freak out because of rain.
Looks like a lovely choice to make a cake on a blustery day :)

I live in Seattle, but I am not laughing. Perhaps that is because I am not a native Seattleite. I think that I actually belong in So-Cal, because whenever it rains I just don't leave the house. And now, you may have heard it rains a lot in Seattle. :-)
But seriously, this cake sounds like it would stave off my worst rainy day blues!! It's just so...sunny and happy! :-) And I love the look of those ripe, lush-lookin' cherries!

As for this cake - beautiful! And great minds must think alike because in the last month I have made a cranberry-pear upside down cake, and heavenly little individual dried apricot upside down cakes. There is something ridiculously appealing about upside down cakes and yours is certainly going on my to do list :)

A while back, someone asked me about the estate records of Benjamin Odell. I've made partial indexes of many of the early probate books for Rabun County, so I was able to quickly go to the right pages in two of those books to find information recorded on Benjamin's estate. I'm not going to post the entire estate proceedings here (that would take a lot of room), but I did want to point out a few interesting items that could be used to answer the questions many researchers might have about this family.
Benjamin Odell died intestate before 15 June 1836 when Allen R. Gaines and John H. Sloan applied for Letters of Administration on his estate. The Court appointed William Kelly, John S. Henley, Wm. Jones Sr., James C. Jarrard, Geo. Lutes, H. H. Armstrong, and H. T. Moseley to appraise the estate at the same time that the Letters of Administration were entered into the record.1
Benjamin left an extensive estate upon his death, including two slaves, land in Rabun County and elsewhere, and a slew of personal goods.2 Because of this, the records created while settling his estate are fairly extensive.
Several of those records involved appointing a guardian for Benjamin's "minor heirs" who were named as "Lewisa an idiot[,] Elizabeth, Emaline, Rachael, Charity[,] Sary ann, Margaret, James Clayton, Catharine Jane and Benjamin."3 While Martha Odell, Benjamin's widow, made the application for guardianship, the clerk noted that the minor heirs "all" requested Samuel Farris as their guardian. Normally such a request would indicate that all of Benjamin's children were at least fourteen years of age (the age at which minor orphans could request their own guardian in Georgia) but no more than twenty-one, the age of majority.4 It would be difficult, however, for one married couple to have nine living children spanning that short age range, discounting "Lewisa" as she would have needed a guardian regardless of age. It's more likely that the clerk summarized the proceedings, with the elder children agreeing to Samuel Farris as guardian, the younger not having a legal say in the matter, and the clerk not noting the difference in his rush to record the goings-on of two separate courts.5
And what about the two slaves? As it turns out, those are mentioned by name as well. On the first Tuesday in March, 1837, Samuel Farris and Henry T. Mosely purchased, respectively, the slaves Ben and Charles from Benjamin's estate.6 Ben was sick at the time of the sale, a fact brought to the Court's attention in June 1841 when Samuel Farris applied for a reduction in Ben's sale price due to his inability to perform the work for which purpose he had been bought.7 Ben spent at least a year suffering from "the white swelling" between 1837 and 1841, in spite of care by a Doctor. Samuel "dispaired of his ever being cured."
In addition to the records highlighted above, there are numerous other items of interest contained within Benjamin's estate records, most notably the sale of Benjamin's land and personal effects, the latter of which gives a good list of people who could be family and close friends of the Odells.
If Benjamin Odell were my ancestor, then I would not end my research with these estate records. At the very least, I would investigate related deeds and court records. For instance, I know for a fact (due to my work with Rabun County's early Superior Court records) that the administrators on this estate were involved in several related court suits. Each of these additional records, either individually or when taken as a whole, has the potential to answer other questions Odell researchers might have, such as: Where did Benjamin's family live before they came to Rabun County? Who were his siblings and parents? And what was his wife's maiden name? As Judy G. Russell said in her article about Josias Baker, don't stop there!8 Intestate records can be more illuminating than a will, and they often point to other records containing wonderful information about our ancestors.
* * * * *
1. Minutes 1826 – 39 Rabun County: 69 – 70; Probate Court, Clayton, Georgia.
2. Ibid., 73, 82 – 85, 113.
3. Ibid., 76 – 78.
4. That conclusion is an over-simplification of the matter, but roughly true. Young girls of that era were often considered of age if they were 18 or married. In the latter case, the husband usually acted in the woman's interest or on her behalf when her parents' estates were settled. The most that we can conclude from Benjamin's estate records, however, is that the girls were not married, because the clerk's wording was too vague to draw any conclusion about the age of any of the minor heirs except that they were under the age of majority or otherwise needed a guardian to oversee their legal affairs.
5. At the time Benjamin's estate was being settled, James Bleckley was the clerk of the Superior Court and the Inferior Court.
6. Minutes 1826 – 39 Rabun County: 113.
7. Minutes 1838 – 1850 Rabun County: 94 – 97; Probate Office, Clayton, Georgia.
8. Judy G. Russell, ""Don't Stop There!" Connecting Josias Baker to His Burke County, North Carolina, Parents," National Genealogical Society Quarterly 99 (March 2011): 25 – 41.

Are you getting your house repainted? In that case what are you doing about the roof? Roof maintenance is a very important part of house renovation. So what is roof maintenance? In case you think it is only about repainting the roof, then you will have to really refresh your views. Of course repainting the roof will make it look as good as new, but would it take care of the internal damage that has been caused by fungal or bacterial deposition. Let aside the internal damage, repainting does not even take care of the external damage. That is why just repainting the house is not a good idea.
So what does this entire process contain of? The roof restoration consists mainly of a three step process which makes the roof as good as new in reality. The first phase included the repair and cleaning. To clean the roof the special technique of high pressure cleaning is used. Water or any other chemicals released on the area with a lot of pressure. This high pressure exerted takes care of all the accumulated dirt. In fact the pressure clears off the moss and grime not only on the surface of the roof, but also in the nooks and corners. Once cleaning is over, the roof will be checked properly. In case any repair is needed that will be taken care of.
The next phase is when the entire roof would be painted. This phase is not a very difficult one. However care needs to be taken while choosing the shade of paint that is being used. Once the paining is complete, the roof looks as good as new. Any kind of internal damage has already been taken care of. Yet the roof needs one more phase of repairing. A protective coating is added to keep the roof from further damage. These three phases combine to form the entire roof restoration process.
Now to start the process be sure to have all the safety gear you need. Not only you need protective gear but you need to be sure that your roof it's safe. In many cases your roof can be so old, it can be an actual risk to start working on it without a proper professional evaluating what can be done.
In many cases you are going to be better off contacting a professional company to give you a proper quote, instead of losing time, energy and tears doing it yourself.

How to Make Killer Bisquick-Free Pancakes
Two years ago. I was exposed. It was humiliating. I was caught red-handed with Bisquick. So I confessed: I cannot make good pancakes. I use Bisquick.
The good news is that today I can make killer pancakes from scratch. It wasn't an easy journey to this baking success. I went through stages of pancake grief.
First came denial: What?! Boxed Bisquick? No way! I make everything from scratch. Boxes are for semi-homemade Sara Lee, not Food Blogga!
Then came anger: Damn Bisquick. Damn IHOP. Damn the pancake Gods. Damn them all to hell!
Anger turned into depression: I'm such a loser. Every food blogger makes great pancakes. Why can't I? What's wrong with me?
Finally came acceptance: Not everyone is meant to make great pancakes. I make great pizza. Not everyone makes great pizza.
After my acceptance came a request from my editor. I needed to include a pancake recipe for my book, Recipes Every Man Should Know. They would be called "Better-Than-IHOP Pancakes." That was my editor's choice. I would never have so brazenly provoked the pancake gods. So 38 batches of pancakes later, I now have my own Better-Than-IHOP Pancake recipe. They're fluffy and sweet and completely Bisquick-free.
Better-Than-IHOP Pancakes
Makes 8-10 pancakes
Printable recipe.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk or buttermilk (not the powdered variety)
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
Maple syrup and melted butter for serving
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, suar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using). Add dry ingredients to wet, and whisk until just combined. It's OK if batter is a little lumpy. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Splash it with a few drops fo water: When they pop and jump, your're good to go. Lightly grease pan with butter. Pour batter by the quarter-cupful on to pan, being careful not to overcrowd if cooking more than one at a time. Leave each pancake alone until edges start to turn golden and little bubbles form on top Then, using a spatula, give it a quick, steady flip. (Remember, the first two or three are for the dog.) Cook 30-60 seconds more, or until puffed up and golden brown.
3. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as necessary. Serve pancakes right away, or keep in a warm oven (250 F) until you're ready to eat. Top with warm maple syrup and melted butter.
Tasty Pancake Toppings and Add-Ins:
Romantic breakfast in bed:
*Sweet Berries: Top with fresh berries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
*Boozy Bananas: Saute sliced bananas in a little butter and a splash of rum for a few minutes. Spoon over pancakes and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
*Chocolate Chip: After pouring the pancakes on the griddle, top each one with a few chocolate or cinnamon chips.
*Cinnamon-Sugar Apples: Cook sliced apples in a little butter and sprinkle with cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins.
*Maple-Bacon-Banana: Place slices of cooked maple-smoked bacon in between pancakes. Cook sliced bananas in a buttered pan until golden. Spoon over pancakes and drizzle with maple syrup.

I used to visit a non-chain pancake house and they had the fluffiest pancakes. A friend and I figured it out, whip the egg whites- not stiff, not even necessarily soft peaks, but enough to add fluff and fold the beaten whites into your batter. Like magic, fluffy pancakes.

I too have yet to master the pancake, sadly, though I have to say I haven't purchased any Bisquick in years - the ingredients list for pancakes is basic enough that I usually have everything I need on hand.
True story: I fail at a pancake batch, yet decide to eat anyway. My husband comes in, grabs the butter, and uses a plastic knife to spread butter on the pancake. I rage, "We don't use plastic utensils in this house!" and throw the knife into the kitchen sink. It was a pancake-induced rage I hope I don't repeat.

My kids LOVE pancakes but I am also pancake challenged so am always trying out new recipes on them. Yes, they still love them (most of the time) even though I try to add things like whole wheat flour or some sort of fruit puree. Maybe I should just stick to the basics and try your recipe next time. I think I will. :-)

I'm all about the from-scratch pancakes too, I make them almost every weekend. Actually almost overstepped my bounds a few weeks ago when I was at someone's house (who shall remain nameless!) and I kind of balked at the Bisquick box. Oops! Oh well... :-)

Confession: I've also defaulted to Bisquick for pancakes. And then... to straight up Aunt Jemimah. This morning, I had pancakes on the brain and sadly discovered there was no "mix" of any sort in the pantry. Luckily, I'd just read this entry last night and I came back and dug it up to try it...
OH HAPPY DAY. These rock, Susan. Seriously easy, seriously fluffy, seriously tasty. YUM.

I'm actually quite nostalgic about Bisquick pancakes, though I no longer eat them and have never made them. My dear grandmother, a wonderful Southern cook, made THE most delicious Bisquick pancakes--I don't know what she did to them, I've never tasted another Bisquick pancake that even came close. But I am one of those "no additives, no weird fats" types, so I always make my pancakes from scratch.

I just made these pancakes this morning. I really loved the taste and texture - as did my husband. Even the batter looked like an improvement from anything I've ever tried before. But I think I have more "opportunity" in the actual cooking of the pancake. I'm not sure if it is me or the pan but my pancakes never get evenly golden and by the second batch are all burning before the insides are ready for a flip. Any suggestions?

Awesome recipe! I have always made pancakes from scratch where you beat the egg whites, etc. but sometimes the flavor would be off. You know, the flavor where you swear you can taste the baking powder? Ick. I resorted to Bisquick for my kids' sake, but no more. This recipe was quick, easy and yummy. Thanks!
- November 20, 2011 at 5:54 AM
I have been looking for years for a non-Bisquick recipe, just because of all the chemicals and fat in Bisquick. All of my attempts have been sub-par, to say the least. Just tried these--they are AMAZING! Total keeper-thanks for testing all those batches!

Last week I shared my mom's recipe for traditional Italian almond biscotti, which she submitted to my Eat Christmas Cookies event. Now you didn't think my dad would be outdone by her, did you?
So today it's time for my dad's entry, Italian Pepper Biscuits. This recipe was my grandmother's original and has been in the family for over 80 years.
Now you may be asking yourself, "what is a pepper biscuit?" It's a savory Italian biscuit made primarily of flour, olive oil, black pepper, and fennel seeds. They can be found in many Italian delis and are usually ring-shaped biscuits that have been boiled.
My family's pepper biscuits are baked instead of boiled. When you bite into one, you'll find the texture to be satisfyingly crisp and slightly crumbly. They're all-occasion biscuits too. Serve them as a part of an antipasto. Crumble them into "croutons" for a unique salad topping. Or savor them with a hot espresso or tea.
Pepper biscuits make great easy and inexpensive Christmas gifts too because they can be made ahead. Once cooled, store in air-tight container (preferably tin to maintain their crispness) and keep in a cool area; they should last up to a month.
(This festive Christmas colored "Chinese take out" box was $1 at Target!)
Even though my mom loves to make pepper biscuits, she prefers when my dad does because he twists each cookie so uniformly. If you're not into twisting, you can also roll the dough into a cigar shape and simply form a circle. They're equally delicious no matter what shape they come in.
Dad's Italian Pepper Biscuits
These savory Italian biscuits are satisfyingly crisp and slightly crumbly. They are all-occasion biscuits too. Serve them as a part of an antipasto. Crumble them into "croutons" for a unique salad topping. Or savor them with a hot espresso or tea.
Makes 30 biscuits
Print recipe only here.
1 cup olive oil, preferably extra virgin
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 heaping teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons fennel seed
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten for egg wash
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, hand mix olive oil, water, salt, black pepper, and fennel seed. Add baking powder and flour. Mix until well blended and a dough begins to forms. Lightly work the dough with your hands until the texture is oily and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, then mix in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour at a time, until smooth.
Using your hands, pinch off a 2-tablespoon size piece of dough. Roll the dough between lightly floured hands. Roll into a thin cigar shape that is approximately 8 inches long. Form a U shape, then criss-cross the pieces until a braid forms. Place 15 biscuits per baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits with egg wash. Bake for 40 minutes, rotating pans mid-way through. Biscuits should have a golden color and be crisp on the bottom. Remove from oven and place on a cookie rack to cool completely.
Biscuits should be stored in an air-tight tin container (preferably tin to maintain their crispness) and kept in a cool area, such as a cupboard. Properly stored, they should last up to one month.

A man tried to smuggle his pet turtle through security in a Chinese airport by hiding it in a KFC hamburger.
The man, identified only as Mr. Li, was about to board a flight from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport to Beijing. Li was passing through security when an X-ray screening machines detected a few "odd protrusions" sticking out of a KFC burger that the man had packed in his bag, reported Guangzhou Daily.
Airport staff was suspicious and asked to inspect Li's luggage, despite his pleas not to search through his belongings.
The inspection revealed a pet turtle hidden inside the burger in the Li's bag. When asked why he had tried to hide his pet in such a way, he said that he just really wanted to travel with his "beloved" turtle by his side.After staff explained that hiding a turtle in such a manner was not going to fly, Li reluctantly agreed to allow a friend to care for his pet while he was away.

Need help buying a photocopier? Call our friendly UK sales team on 0800 808 7788
Buy photocopiers from Brother, Canon, Ricoh, Samsung, Sharp and many more. Why not take a browse though our product catalogue below. Did we mention that we can provide all inclusive service contracts and free delivery on most devices*
Canon Photocopiers - Sharp Copiers - Ricoh Photocopiers
A top-of-the-line multifunction device (MFD) does more than just create and copy documents. These devices have the ability to be the central platform from which all the data that runs through your office is received, stored and shared. In the era of big data, where companies succeed or fail based on how well they use their information, the choice of office photocopier you make is hugely important.
At Top 4 Photocopiers we dedicate ourselves to helping you make that choice well. We know that the right machine for one business will not, necessarily, be the right one for another. That's why we take the time to find out about each customer's specific document handling needs before we sell them a copier. We also specialise in round-the-clock, countrywide after-sales support to keep all the machines we sell running at peak performance throughout their lifetime. This is how we build consistently long lasting relationships with businesses of all kinds, all across the UK.
There are plenty of good reasons to choose Top 4 Photocopiers when you buy office hardware.
Once upon a time, not so long ago, a company that wanted a complete suite of document creation and sharing tools would need to install at least four different devices to its network. Not only did this mean a huge overall spend on purchasing the hardware and maintaining its performance, it also meant dedicating a huge amount of your office space to the equipment. Plus there were the various wires, leads and supplies adding to the devices' overall footprint.
These days, things are very different. Thanks to the innovations of the modern multifunctional digital copier, copying, printing, scanning and faxing can all be handled from the same platform. The benefits are obvious: a far smaller footprint, a reduced price and much lower power consumption.
Taking a look across the Top 4 Photocopiers catalogue, you will instantly recognise some of the most trusted brand names in the world: Samsung, Sharp, Canon and Ricoh, to name but five. Every machine in our portfolio is kitted-out with world class features and productivity-boosting specifications. What's more, we also offer unrivalled variety thanks to the sheer extensiveness of our range.
Whether you are looking for a neat little desktop MFD for a small department or workplace, a fleet of mid-sized copiers to furnish a large corporation or a production printer for a commercial printing business, you will find what you need at Top 4 Photocopiers. Not only that, Top 4 Photocopiers' commitment to lowering costs means we offer these machines at prices way below the Recommended Retail Prices you will be charged by other online or high street retailers.
Commonly, our team give quotes as much as 80% below the RRP you will be charged when you shop with other suppliers. Not only that, we will also put together the ideal software package to help you keep your consumable and running costs under tight control.
Now is the era of Big Data, where a large amount of information flows through offices every single day in digital form from device to device. In this environment, the importance of your hardware's safety features simply cannot be over-stated. When you consider the sheer volume of confidential and sensitive data that your fleet of document systems handle each and every day, the need for secure processes becomes quickly apparent.
All the machines available from Top 4 Photocopiers have been designed and manufactured with the security of your data in mind. Every major brand offers solutions that allow office administrators to track how their information is being accessed and by whom, such as password protected printing and watermarking. With many of our top machines, you can even limit the volume of printing being done by either individuals or departments in your company. Not only is this a great way to assure information security, it also makes keeping your costs under control a simple task.
What does all that mean for you? It means a minimum of time spent keeping the hardware on track and a maximum of document-handling productivity.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable things about the digital era of document handling, is how easy and accessible it has made the creation of impressive, professional-quality documents. Now even low-priced MFDs can be equipped with high quality finishing tools that can make the creation of eye-catching brochures, booklets, flyers, posters and fold-outs the matter of pushing a few buttons. As well as allowing you to really impress your audience, this eliminates the expense of outsourcing your printing to a third party professional print shop.
With every technological advancement, the world becomes smaller. Email, attachments, faxes, scanning, cloud capabilities, smart phones - all of these functions make keeping your partners, team members, staff members or clients up to speed with the latest business developments fast and easy. They also allow you to run a more flexible, mobile and portable business, as members of your workforce can share information and collaborate effectively, even when working at distant locations.
So, regardless of how many employees you have on the books, how many prints and copiers you make per day, how impressive you need the results to be or what industry you are in, a digital mulitifunctional photocopier will be a great fit for your business. The best place in the UK and Europe to shop for an MFD is right here at Top 4 Photocopiers. Here you get the best equipment at the lowest possible prices. Call today and bring a top quality MFD to your network.

If there is a complicated way to do something and an easy way, I will inevitably choose the former.
But I was recently reminded of the beauty in keeping things simple. This time of year, the week between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, is a time of self-reflection — not a bad time to review this lesson that holds both in the kitchen and out.
Having only cooked for Rosh Hashana once before, I received a lot of help from my family in preparing to share the 2 days of holidays with over a dozen guests: we divided and conquered. I planned the overambitious menus (only parts of which ever came to fruition). My parents brought a case of wine up from Maryland. My dad and sister did most of the food shopping. My mom helped with much of the food prep, acting as sous chef in my kitchen.
Even with all those helping hands, I was nonetheless overjoyed to discover a cake that nearly bakes itself.
Not Derby Pie touts the base recipe as "The Easiest Cake Ever" and Rivka pictured it with ripe, juicy pears. I planned to add in some apples to the pears in honor of Rosh Hashana and to make it reminiscent of a gâteau pomme poire that I have been trying to recreate since I did a high school student exchange in the Loire valley followed by the Vendée in the northwest of France. However, given that my sister did the grocery shopping and doesn't like pears, I ended up with just an apple cake. Not that this is just any apple cake.
The high egg content causes the cake to rise up as the heavier fruit sinks slightly. A light sprinkling of raw demerara sugar creates a crackly crunchy crust that caramelizes slightly at the edges and where the fruit juices pool.
Easy Apple Cake
Adapted from Not Derby Pie's "Easiest Cake Ever" which is recommended for ripe, juicy fruits such as pears, stone fruits, or berries. Given that I was using apples that were not particularly juicy, I decided to first saute them in some margarine and sugar, giving them a slight juicy caramelization as I would for a tarte tatin.
2018 update: TL;DR – YOU CAN'T MESS THIS UP!
1) Based on questions and comments, you can skip the step of sautéing apples and instead macerate just 3 very thinly sliced apples (16-20 slices per apple) for a half-hour in 1-2 T sugar and a splash of lemon juice to soften them – the apples will bake up just fine, but the top doesn't look as nice. Better yet, just mix all the apples in with the batter and don't bother to arrange any on the top. A non-baker friend wrote: "No precooking of the apples, only own olive oil, don't even own a baking pan of the right size and it STILL came out great. Also already 1/2 gone gotta go make another one."
2) In addition, I made it with Cup4Cup GF flour and it worked like a dream.
3) This cake freezes well. First wrap tightly in plastic, then in heavy duty aluminum foil. If you want to reheat – make sure to remove the plastic from underneath the foil. Yes, you could just wrap in foil, but it doesn't stay as fresh.
4) Check out the comments on this recipe on Food52 for a lot of different variations
Serves 8-10 and there will be no leftovers. This is probably great with ice cream, but this cake needs no accoutrement.
For apples:
4 apples – I used a variety (1 each of Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, and Crispin)
lemon juice to prevent apples from browning as you cut
2 T margarine (or butter if you are making dairy)
1-2 T sugar (or to taste)
For cake batter:
1 C flour
3/4 C sugar
2 eggs
1/2 C canola oil
1 t baking powder
1 t vanilla
2-3 T demerara sugar (optional)
Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan, springform or square pan. (If you want to plate this, use a springform; otherwise, just serve it out of the pan.)
Peel and core the apples, then cut into ~12 slices. Sprinkle with lemon juice (you don't need much – maybe a tablespoon or so for 4 apples) while the others are being sliced to prevent browning.
Heat margarine in pan over low heat and add apples and 1-2 T white sugar. Stir for ~10-15 minutes until apples soften. Some of the liquid will soak into the apples, but if too much of it starts to evaporate, then turn the heat down.
While the apples are on the stove top, mix together the remaining ingredients (except for the demerara sugar) — flour, sugar (the 3/4 C), eggs, oil, baking powder, and vanilla. No mixer is required – you can just mix everything by hand even though the batter is quite thick.
Add half the warm apples (juices and all) to the batter and mix. Then pour into the prepared pan and spread the batter evenly with a spatula. Arrange the remaining apple slices on the top of the batter as decoratively as possible (though even a mishmash will look nice).
Sprinkle the cake with demerara sugar if you'd like and bake for 1 hour.
Let cool before attempting to remove from the pan. It can be a bit difficult to plate due to the stickiness of the fruit (I did a bit of clever patching that you can see close-up below).
I was a bit overzealous in the number of apples that I asked my mom to peel, and we had so many left over that in 5 minutes flat, I whipped up a second batch of batter and made another cake.

Annual General Meeting of UBS
At the UBS AGM of 15 April, shareholders approved the increased dividend of CHF 2.60 as recommended by the Board of Directors. They also approved the appointment of three new members to the Board of Directors - Stephan Haeringer, Helmut Panke and Peter Spuhler - and re-elected Sir Peter Davis to the board for a further term of three years. 2,439 shareholders attended the AGM, representing 315,369,722 votes.
At the Annual General Meeting of 15 April, the shareholders of UBS approved the annual report and consolidated accounts for 2003 and granted discharge to the members of the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board.
Board of Directors: new elections
The AGM elected all the proposed candidates to the Board of Directors for a three-year term. Stephan Haeringer, formerly Deputy CEO, was elected as a executive member of the Board of Directors. Helmut Panke and Peter Spuhler were elected as independent, non-executive members of the Board of Directors. Helmut Panke, a German citizen, is Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. Peter Spuhler, a Swiss citizen, is the owner of Stadler Rail AG in Canton Thurgau, Switzerland. Sir Peter Davis, a member of the Board of Directors since 2001, was re-elected for a further term of three years. Two members stepped down from the Board of Directors at this AGM. As previously announced, Johannes A. de Gier has resigned from the Board in order to focus on his role as Chairman of the holding company for the five UBS independent private banks and GAM. Hans Peter Ming has reached the statutory retirement age and retires from the Board of Directors after completing his term of office. The UBS Board of Directors now has ten members - seven Swiss citizens, one UK citizen, one US citizen, and one German citizen.
Dividend increased to CHF 2.60
The AGM approved the dividend of CHF 2.60 per share recommended by the Board of Directors. The 30% increase in the dividend over the previous year reflects the excellent business results and also the confidence of senior management in the sustainable success of UBS. The dividend payment will be made on 20 April to shareholders of record on 15 April. The UBS share will be traded ex-dividend from 16 April.
Capital reduction and new share repurchase program
Via its second trading line on the Swiss Stock Exchange (SWX), UBS bought back a total of 59,482,000 shares worth about CHF 4.5 billion in the course of its repurchase program last year. The AGM approved cancellation of these shares and the corresponding 5% reduction
in share capital.
The AGM also approved a new repurchase program, also with the aim of capital reduction. The program allows for shares worth a maximum of CHF 6 billion to be repurchased with a view to increasing capital efficiency while maintaining the firm's strong capitalization. The amendment to the articles of association required for the related capital reduction will be submitted to the 2005 AGM.
Both global and Swiss
UBS is a global enterprise with Swiss roots, said Marcel Ospel, Chairman of the Board of Directors, in his address to the meeting. The firm's global presence and reach allow it to meet the wide-ranging needs of a diverse client base worldwide, he explained. At the same time, UBS's strong position in Switzerland provides the foundation for its global
competitiveness. For this reason, UBS gives the same weight to social and market developments in the international arena as it does to political and economic trends in Switzerland. UBS's compensation policy should also be viewed in the context of its global competitiveness, Ospel said in response to questions from shareholders. UBS aims to be an attractive employer worldwide in order to secure top-quality employees for all its professional and leadership functions at all organisational levels, in all the markets where it operates. Salaries in the financial sector are admittedly high compared to those in other industries, particularly for specialized and leadership functions. "It is therefore essential," concluded Ospel, "that senior management compensation is as closely aligned as possible with the interests of shareholders. We are considering how, in future, we could better show how the compensation process functions in detail."
Focused on the client
In his AGM address, CEO Peter Wuffli commented on UBS's excellent financial results and outlined the strategic initiatives and gains in market share achieved by the businesses in 2003. He also pointed to the factors that are considered vital to the firm's long-term success. The key challenge, he said, is to ensure that the organization stays focused on the interests and needs of the client at all levels and across all businesses. Efficient and competitive structures are an additional success factor, together with a culture of entrepreneurship across all functions.
Zurich / Basel, 15 April 2004
The speeches of Marcel Ospel, Chairman of the Board of Directors, und Peter Wuffli, CEO, are available at www.ubs.com/media or www.ubs.com/agm.

Did you know that, like health problems such as cholesterol and high blood pressure, parents can also pass on bad breath and dental disease?
No, cavities aren't genetic — but the oral bacteria that cause dental diseases are actually contagious. When parents share utensils, drink out of the same cup, kiss or share toothbrushes with children, they spread bacteria to their children's mouths. Children can also spread the bacteria amongst themselves by such actions as mouthing the same toys.
Not sure how to protect your whole family from dental disease? Make oral hygiene a family affair by following these tips:
* Establish good oral health habits. You can wipe young children's teeth with water to help avoid cavities. Start brushing your child's teeth with a pea-sized amount of toothpaste at 12 months, and start flossing when the gaps between your child's teeth begin to close. Teach older children to brush their teeth for the correct amount of time — two minutes — by singing a song like "Happy Birthday" or setting a timer. And make sure that you're brushing and flossing, too.
* Use probiotics. Oral care probiotics can be an effective step in a child's oral care routine. EvoraKids (www.myevorakids.com), a chewable containing a special blend of oral care probiotics designed specifically for children, works by flooding the mouth with good bacteria. These good bacteria adhere to chewing surfaces in the mouth, including crevices, pits and fissures, helping to support tooth health. Parents can get into the act, too, with another version of the probiotic called EvoraPlus (www.myevoraplus.com). By properly balancing the bacteria in the mouth, these products help support dental health.
* Visit the dentist regularly. A dentist is more likely to notice problems with a child's teeth and gums than a parent. It will make it easier to track if you are able to set up regular dental visits for everyone in the family at about the same time each year. Most children and adults should see their dentist every six months for a regular cleaning and check up.
* Choose tooth-friendly foods. When providing meals and snacks, choose foods that help increase saliva flow, like fresh fruits and vegetables. Teach kids to drink water after eating to rinse their teeth. Avoid foods that stick to teeth, like soft, chewy candies

A full-body shot. I am SO happy with how this quilt turned out. It's kind of a step away from my usual primary color palette. You can see the original progress on this quilt here and here. All the pieced portion of the quilt was made entirely from scraps. So that makes it a mostly free quilt, right?? A lot of the scraps are leftovers from cutting the kits for the Soul Blossom quilt last spring.
Here is a close-up of some of the fabrics. Most of them are so wild. There are fabrics from Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms, Amanda Murphy's Veranda, a little Lizzy House Pearl Bracelet, Deena Rutter, Sugar Pop – just a really eclectic mix. The colors are so much brighter than the rest of my house – most of my house is much more muted coloring. But I love how bright and cheerful it is. I may keep it on my bed in the winter just to cheer things up. The quilting was done by the talented Becky Heslop. (Hi Becky!)
And since I'm sharing the quilt, it must mean that the pattern is finally finished! I am not too inspired at naming quilts, but since we're on a Muppets kick around her, thanks to the latest movie, I couldn't resist Rainbow Connection. I still remember loving singing my little heart out to that song in the 1st grade. 🙂
This pattern includes sizes: Baby, Twin, Throw (same as mine 80″ x 80″), Queen, and King. Woo! (and Whew!) The pattern is $9.00 and available for instant download by clicking on the Buy Now button.

the delights at your right hand forever.
* [Psalm 16] In the first section, the psalmist rejects the futile worship of false gods (Ps 16:2–5), preferring Israel's God (Ps 16:1), the giver of the land (Ps 16:6). The second section reflects on the wise and life-giving presence of God (Ps 16:7–11).
* [16:1] Miktam: a term occurring six times in Psalm superscriptions, always with "David." Its meaning is unknown.
* [16:4] Take their names: to use the gods' names in oaths and hence to affirm them as one's own gods.
* [16:6] Pleasant places were measured out for me: the psalmist is pleased with the plot of land measured out to the family, which was to be passed on to succeeding generations ("my inheritance").
* [16:10] Nor let your devout one see the pit: Hebrew shahath means here the pit, a synonym for Sheol, the underworld. The Greek translation derives the word here and elsewhere from the verb shahath, "to be corrupt." On the basis of the Greek, Acts 2:25–32; 13:35–37 apply the verse to Christ's resurrection, "Nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption."
b. [16:5] Ps 23:5; 73:26; Nm 18:20; Lam 3:24.
c. [16:8] Ps 73:23; 121:5; Acts 2:25–28.
d. [16:10] Ps 28:1; 30:4; 49:16; 86:13; Jon 2:7; Acts 13:35.
