To Buckeye Visitors to this Site...
It has come to our attention that a number of Buckeyes are visiting the site today due to a link to us from the O-zone. From all of us here at the M Zone, we would just like to extend a very hearty "Welcome!"
A couple tips that might make your stay more enjoyable:
First, turn off the "crayon" font setting (or have your tutor do it for you). We know Buckeyes like to look at the computer in the same format as their term papers, but we've found that setting doesn't view correctly on most monitors.
Also, please limit your comments to 30 or so F-bombs. Now we understand that with your limited vocabulary skills, you like to insert that useful word as often as possible due to a lack of other choices, but remember: this isn't your grandmother's house so please try to cut back.
In addition, as you might have noticed, we have conveniently included a picture of Michigan fans and another of cars with Michigan plates right here in this post for you. So, make like you're at the 'Shoe and feel free to curse, spit and throw things at the picture of the fans -- just like the game was in Columbus this Saturday. Then, you can smash your computer screen as if it was the window of the car with Michigan plates (unfortunately we are unable to replicate a car antennae for you to snap in half. Our apologies).
Finally, when you're done reading, go ahead and set something on fire for the post-blog rioting! That way it will seem like it's right after the game and you'll almost be able to see the glow of the 'Shoe through the smoke.
Hope you find that helpful. But just remember not to hog the computer and to share the experience with the other members of your cellblock.
Have a nice day.

Still not sure what you're getting at here. Is it:
Michigan - good
Ohio State - bad
Or is it...? No, wait a min--
Dammit, still confused.
I'd better go read more of your ass-kicking blog,

I think it's more like, people who went to Michigan understand satire, and people who went to Ohio State get confused by it.

Well said, M82 and Loef.
I've noticed from the Buckeye boards that, unless they make reference to our "cornholes" or tell fellow Bucks to make sure they "bring butt plugs if they go to Ann Arbor this week" or simply insert a general "Go &^%$# youself you *&^%$# Michigan *&&^%$!!" in their posts, they don't find much humor in things.

I like how they all say they'd be horribly embarrassed to have such a poor sportsman as Lloyd be their coach -- you know, he goes so far beyond the pale yelling at officials and being grouchy with the press, and what kind of example is that for you little ones? -- as if there isn't a STATUE OF WOODY HAYES in front of their stadium.

Exactly, Mayday. Then there's Tressel, who always seems to be one NCAA investigation away from something fishy.

LOL! Oh my God, that was just too funny. I have been desperately searching for a Michigan football message board that isn't overrun with childish, misspelling and obscenity-laced posts from Ohio State fans.
I've only had time to read several posts here, but all have been intelligent, entertaining, and pretty close to my views on things concerning Michigan Football.
- November 18, 2005 7:21 PM
all buckeye fans want to commend coach carr for his outstanding accomplishments agianst coach tressel.he deserves a lifetime contract!
- February 09, 2006 9:37 PM
"Then there is Tressel, who seems to be one NCAA investigation away from something fishy"??? This is coming from a fan of a university who employed the likes of Chris Webber and the fraud five.

Here's the difference, Anon:
I despise those of the "Fab" Five that took money and/or cheated. Michigan forfeited its Final Four banners and other accolades gained during those years.
Will Tosu do the same for things won, say, during Clarett's stay? Let me guess, he didn't cheat, right?
- February 15, 2006 1:41 PM
Yes, some of us Buckeye fans can get roudy, and upset, but MOST loyal Buckeye fans (myself included) have much RESPECT for Michigan, and their fans. It's born out of years of traditional rivalry. I'll say some Buckeye fans go over the top, but if you look at how many times (and ways) UM beat our beloved Bucks during the years under John Cooper (and don't get me wrong, Coop is an OUTSTANDING coach and we are proud he's a Buckeye, but Michigan always seemed to have his number). We usually had FAR superior teams, and some of them were undefeated, only to get our hopes and dreams broken by the Wolverines. We were even up under Woody and Earl Bruce. So we kind of feel like we owe you a few!!!
But regardless of what happens on the field between OSU and UM (we like to keep that in-house), we here in Columbus, ALWAYS support all of our BIG 10 brothers (including your Wolverines) when it comes to bowl games. You represent not only Michigan when you go to a bowl game, you also represent the rest of the Big 10.
- March 23, 2006 7:43 PM
I love how the typical Michigan response to Buckeye comments harp on how backward the residents of OH are. This from the state who hasn't contributed anything meaningful to capitalism since the Model-T.
Take your GM buy-out, hit the Windsor strip clubs and come up with another 'funny' losers.

Great work ... hilarious site. I am a Buckeye fan (OSU Law '00), but not a native Ohioan. As such, I enjoy the rivalry but am not consumed by it. So while I would never submit a comment like "Screw the Blue" did on November 17, I have to admit that I chuckled when I read it. Equally amusing, however, was biakabatuka's deft reply.
Anyway, thanks for unfurling the welcome mat for us fans of tOSU. I'll check back in five months from now after Cheatypants McSweatervest bamboozles Lloyd Carr for the fifth time in six tries. With any luck, the Bucks will score the winning touchdown as time expires, and the game will be named an Instant Classic by ESPN.

Thanks for the comment. Always appreciated.
- June 16, 2006 4:47 AM
I love how us UM fans try to act like we're above tOSU fans as if they're a savages. Sure they're rude and obnoxious ... but so are we. I've never been to a UM/tOSU game in A2 without seeing a piece of tOSU paraphernalia in the urinals with a bunch of drunk UM fans immaturely urinating on it.. real mature and classy. The fact is, we hate you ... you hate us ... We shouldn't hide from it, embrace it and let the shit talking games begin.

Ohio State sucks balls and hasn't played anyones as of yet. Texas will end up with 3 losses this year and maybe be number 15 or 20 in the land...they are not very good this year. So enjoy your number one ranking. I'm actually glad you are ranked so high and hope you are undefeated still when you play us so we can be the number one team after we kick your asses. your defense is going to get shredded by Mike Hart. Mike Hart for heisman peace out losers. OSU overated.

First time visitor; Nice site. Do us a favor and don't get those weagles and elephants all riled up.Geez, it took a good 45 min or so to read all of that smack. I think maybe they might out-do OSU/UM. Can't wait for Nov. 18. P.S. The Buckeyes are not over-rated, they're just getting better and better.
- October 04, 2006 9:17 PM
Just fount the site, I LOVE IT . All you have to do when comparing The Maze and Blue with the F!#%ies is consider two things, first their mascot, A NUT, who has a nut for a mascot? And second, Look at the first 4 words in the fight songs, "Hail to the victors". GO BLUE!!!
- October 14, 2006 1:25 PM
you guys are the most mature bunch of UM fans i've read in a long while, but all your bitterness doesn't change the fact Carr is 1-4 against Tressel ... so enjoy your newly found fame after beating ND, who shouldn't even be ranked in the top 15 ... the fact is OSU is consensus number 1 and you still have to make an argument for being number 2 ... and you have to come to our house on Nov. 18, and the Bucks don't lose in here (unless you have Vince Young) ... so good luck, and don't try to be so nervous, if you get your butts kicked, it won't be the first time.
- October 16, 2006 1:23 PM
Wow, you guys are tough. Again, like the mustache t-shirt, I just don't think I can take anymore.
These comments coming of course from the land of The Michigan Militia and other sources of great pride.
I did notice in the fan picture that the crowd is politely seated. Oh dear, maybe they will pull out their keys.
And as for the cell block comment, you're timing is impeccable. What with that wide receiver and all...didn't all that happen before the Penn State game?
See you on the 18th. Please, please get past Ball State undefeated.

One of my best friends is as rabid a wolverine fan as I am a buckeye fan. We are both well educated, enthusiastic fans of college football. While we indulge in a bit of good natured ribbing, we've never resorted to the ridiculous trash talking I see here, or on some Ohio State sites. The saddest thing about all of this is that no one talking any of this trash has any chance to back it up on the field. News Flash: the players and coaches have the ultimate say, on the field. I'm sick of classless Ohio state fans and Michigan fans acting like their mothers never taught them any manners. I'm looking forward to this game, to remind the rest of the country why this is the best rivalry in all of sports. Ohio State doesn't exist in the same way without Michigan, or vice versa. Act like adults, for a change will you!!!!!
- October 31, 2006 7:51 PM
Annapolis... i don't know what photo you happened to see, but all those Michigan fans are standing and cheering. Maybe your just a little confused because there are no grandmas throwing beer bottles or toddlers flipping off the opposing fans. That might just be it huh?
- November 03, 2006 3:02 AM
I won't say the Buckeye's aren't good, but I hate their fans. I live in Ohio and everytime I wear my U of M gear anywear I get the testimonial from every buckeye fan on why Michigan sucks. I hate the Comment "yeah, we kicked your ass last year.." Blah Blah Blah. That makes me want to say oh really you were playing, what number were you? I didn't see any fat bald fucks on the field. So this goes out to all cocky fans on both sides of the fence-It's only a game!! Get over it. Obnoxious Buckeye fans can lick my sweaty balls dry!

Running back Mike Hart rushed for 142 yards and three TDs.
"Their defense played good (sic), but they're not as good as people thought," Hart said. "There's nothing special about that defense."
Try to schedule "HAVE A LITTLE CLASS 101" before you leave The University of Michigan, PUNK!
You'll still be a PUNK like Chris Perry after you get your NFL contract!

And today Heisman Hopeful Mike Hart, after finishing 31st. in scoring in NCAA Division 1-A this season, continues his PUNK SMACK TALK with, "I guarantee if we play them again, it would be a whole different game," tailback Mike Hart said. "We should have got them the first time around. We didn't ... But if we played them again, it would be a whole different game. Guarantee that."
As an extra added attraction, LLLLLoyd questions the official's call.
Yep! go blue

Exactly, Mayday. Then there's Tressel, who always seems to be one NCAA investigation away from something fishy.
ok lets go over this. 1)there isnt a statue in front of ohio stadium of woody hayes. 2) The NCAA DID investigate and that punk Clarett got REALLY quiet when they questioned him. Jim Brown and Stephen A. Smith jumpped ship faster than rats off the Titanic when he didnt "ruin OSU" and didnt reveal the rest of the iceburg that we had only seen the tip of. Boy they were all ready to pile on when it was looking bad. But it turned out he was just a thug that we shouldnt have taken a chance on. The only reaon M!CH!G@N players dont get caught is because ANN ARBOR (the whore) is a small town and the police there are still able to be greased by the UofM big wigs (my uncle is a cop there). Here the Dispatch and TV LOVE to find problems, makes for good ratings. And lastly, I went to THE GAME in 2001 and had 2 beers thrown on me. Hmmmm, OSU fans are the only ones who do that right? WRONG. Its happened at PENN STATE AND MSU AND TEXAS. Ive also been verbally roughed up by UofM fans here. I was a student '96-'02 and blue fans would always say shit about 2-10-1 so dont act like it is only OSU fans. There are shitty fans of EVERY team. Usually they didnt go to that school and have 5 teeth so what do you expect.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
My tutor from Appalachian State just changed my font from the crayon setting - so glad I found one that wasn't hungover from sneaking in some moonshine to "dry" Boone, NC!! He and I enjoyed hearing the fans roar that stayed at the 'Shoe to watch your "proudest moment" play out.
You know that art institute that used to advertise in matchbook covers telling you if you could draw their stick-figure mouse, you could be their next undiscovered talent? I hear they're trying to schedule you as their home opening opponent next year...
Tressel and Nugent tell me that if you need help recruiting a kicker that can at least make one kick in football after Pop Warner league to give them a call. They hear that Clarett's girlfriend needs a job. Lord knows the 15 cents/hour he currently is under contract for won't feed his baby. Her leg's in great form from kicking herself for getting involved with him in the first place (and from kicking his a** when he couldn't even run a decent 40 in Denver).
Oh, yeah....Let your AD know that Clarett should be paroled just in time to take over for Carr (and trust me - we hate Clarett - AKA waaahhh - even more than you Wolverines do!). His "agent" (AKA "Maurice's Future Parole Officer") just hasn't had time to return his call since his he keeps getting calls from the Ann Arbor area since about 4pm Saturday. Just tell him to make sure his phone accepts collect calls from prison!!
See you all 11/17/07 - we will try to make Yosef stay in NC.

I just think it's hilarious that people dispute the intelligence and rude behavior of Buckeye fans. I am a die hard Ohio State fan, born and raised in Columbus. Everyone that isn't a Buckeye wonders why we riot and act the way we do towards Michigan fans. Well, if you are a true fan and you lived here your whole life then you would know that there isn't anything better than getting shiitfaced at eight in the morning and spending the rest of the day with a couple hundred thousand excited people with one thing in mind "Beating Michigan's Ass." Trust me, other than that and the amount of hott-ass women walking campus on a daily basis; there isn't anything else to be excited about in Columbus.
So, to all you "Buckeye Fan haterz", don't hate us for enjoying the only exciting things in our city. Scarlet and Grey is what we will always wear, we have more than enough tits and ass here to share...

Firefly is an awesome show with great characters, engaging storylines, a solid overarching plot, but when it comes down to it the show is worth watching for Nathan Fillion alone. He's fantastic, was born to play the role, and I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Mal. I'd say that its worth you checking out.
If you decide to give it a go, buy or rent the DVDs. The episodes on Hulu (the show was there the last time I checked) are the original broadcast versions of the show, which are a mess. Fox aired the second episode first, skipped numerous episodes, and used the pilot as the last episode they aired. Though Hulu has the episodes in the correct order, the editing Fox did to have the show make some sort of sense during the initial broadcast are still present and extremely unnecessary.
The only thing I can add to this is that I saw Serenity before I knew of Firefly...immediately after the movie I went and picked up the DVDs of Firefly. Just an amazing show.

Youth Oakland Raiders #37 Lester Hayes Limited White Rush Vapor Untouchable 100th Season Football JerseyIn Stock
Raiders Look Ahead To Thursday Night Clash With Kansas City Chiefs
Raiders look ahead to Thursday night clash with Kansas City Chief is a big one with some lasting ramifications on the line. Some are calling it the best primetime game of the year, others are positing that it could be the biggest game for the Oakland Raiders in the past decade. However, for the players inside the Raiders locker room, the primetime matchup with the Chiefs is just the next game on the schedule. They said just have a next challenge mindset. They're all excited about the Thursday Night Football, and what should they do is have to not lose focus because have a goal to reach, and that's making it to the Super Bowl. In 2016, the Oakland Raiders have been the definition of road warriors, having won all five are their road games this season, as well as an international "home" game at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Away from their home stadiums to travel to Arrowhead Stadium for their Week 14 primetime clash with the Chiefs and be going into the game on just three days rest, which admittedly presents some challenges for both teams.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Fruits and berries that are grown in our area are late to market this year. Local strawberries began to appear in farm stands and green markets about 2 weeks ago, but they are still not prime. Each year, I play my own version of Russian roulette, and, to insure the most intense flavor, I postpone buying flats of them for as long as I possibly can. A few years back, I outsmarted myself and we ended up with no berries at all for the freezer or canning kettle. I must be a gambler at heart, because I've postponed going long in berries again this year. The upside to all of this is, that while I'm waiting for strawberries, I've been working on recipes that use sweet or sour cherries. Now, in keeping with my policy of complete disclosure, I must tell you these are not Oregon cherries. They are imported from Washington state to fill market shelves, and, while they are immigrants, they are especially delicious this year. The simple snack cake that I'm featuring today comes from a recipe I've adapted from Martha Stewart's website. The cake is really easy to make and the cherries give it a unique flavor. While I serve this for brunch, it would be a great cake for morning meetings where you would like to serve something new. The cake can be made with fresh or frozen berries. If you use frozen berries, they must be defrosted and drained before they are added to the cake batter. This is a great dessert for those who like their treats barely sweet. Here's the recipe.
Sour Cherry Crumb Cake...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Martha Stewart
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for dish
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dish
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 -1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups (1 pound) fresh sour cherries, pitted
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish, and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
2) To make topping: Stir together butter, flour, sugars, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3) To make cakes: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. With a mixer, cream butter and granulated sugar in another bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla and almond extract. Working in alternating batches, add flour mixture and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat until just combined. Pour into prepared pan, and smooth with an offset spatula. Dot top with cherries, and sprinkle with crumb topping. Bake until golden and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool before cutting. Yield: 9 servings.
Cook's Note: Frozen cherries, thawed and drained, may be substituted for fresh cherries.

"This Mac n' Cheese Tastes Like Doritos." (A Healthier Recipe for Mac n' Cheese)
When I was growing up, my mother cooked everything from scratch, including macaroni n' cheese, which, coincidentally, was the one dish that my brothers and I didn't like. Despite her most valiant efforts, we would always complain, "It's not as good as the one in the box." Blasphemy, pure and simple.
To this day, I blame Kraft. Perhaps it was the kid-appealing, artificial orange color of the cheese. Or maybe it was a secret ingredient in that magical powder in the unmarked white envelope. Whatever it was, it was one of few prepared meals we ever ate (and preferred to homemade).
Well, just like my mom, I decided to make mac n' cheese. I made it from scratch and didn't tell Jeff what was in it. After a couple of bites, he said, "Wow! This is good! It may sound weird, but this mac n' cheese tastes like Doritos!" (Hah! I thought. The fajita spice worked.) Considering he finished his plate, then stood at the stove eating the mac n' cheese right out of the casserole dish, it's safe to say he liked it.
I really liked the way this Orange Cauliflower Mac n' Cheese turned out because the cheesy topping got all bubbly and crunchy, while the pasta underneath remained comfortingly soft and creamy. I'm also pleased that the melted cheese isn't a plastic-y, neon orange (sorry, Kraft), but a soft, natural, golden orange.
This healthier mac n' cheese recipe loses most of the fat and cholesterol of traditional mac 'n cheese but holds onto the creaminess and flavor that make it an American favorite. Plus, it's an easy way to get your kids to eat their cauliflower. According to Wiki, orange cauliflower contains 25 times the level of vitamin A as white varieties, so it may even help give them bionic vision.
If you really want to get your kids to eat their cauliflower, then add 1 tablespoon fajita or Mexican spices to the sauce and call it "Doritos Mac n' Cheese." I swear, the spices make it taste just like Doritos. Now, what kid wouldn't love that? Come to think of it, what adult wouldn't love that?
Orange Cauliflower Mac n' Cheese
Makes 4 servings
Print recipe only here.
1 head orange cauliflower (white can be substituted)
1/2 pound small pasta such as gemelli, elbows, or shells
2 tablespoons Smart Balance butter substitute
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups skim milk, plus 1/2 cup for pureeing cauliflower
1 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese, plus 1/2 cup for sprinkling on top
a generous amount salt and several cranks of freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fajita or Mexican spices, optional
1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter substitute
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with cooking spray.
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Trim cauliflower and break into small florets. Boil until tender, 10-15 minutes. Drain. Place in a blender or processor with 1/2 cup milk and puree until thick and smooth. Set aside.
Cook pasta according to directions until al dente.
For the sauce, melt 2 tablespoons Smart Balance in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk briskly. Gradually add 2 cups milk, whisking continuously, until it reaches a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, or until thick and bubbly. Add the pureed cauliflower, 1 cup cheddar cheese, and a generous amount of salt and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and remove from heat. Add cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and toss until well coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar evenly over the top.
For the buttered breadcrumbs, melt 1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter substitute in a small skillet over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and toss until coated with butter. Sprinkle even over the top of the cheddar. Or, if you prefer, set crumbs aside, and use as a garnish just before serving.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown on top and the cheese sauce is bubbling around the edges.

Susan, I LOVE healthy versions of old favorites. This is great!

Oh, yum!!! Been too long since I had mac and cheese. I am sure the whole family will love this-- and I very unsecretly love cauliflower, so I'm sure to be sneaking over-the-stove tastes too. Orange cauli isn't always available, though.
I think I have to look up what's in Fajita spice-- maybe because we don't get it here or maybe I already have the components lying around here :)

O boy Susan...what a greatway to hide the cawliflower & in something as delicious as this. I'm with you on plasticy Kraft...too much fat & artificial flavour. My kids DETEST cawliflower & with winter round the corner, we have the market flooded with them at, hold your breath, Rs 10 a kilo (a dollar is about Rs 50 now, so say like a quarter for a kilo).Am waiting with baited breath for more hidden treasures like this...xoxoxo Deeba

wow I have never seen an orange cauliflower - I think cauliflower is perfect in mac and cheese because as a child there was nothing I loved better than cauliflower gratin with lots of white sauce and chesse! I do quite like the neon orange of the kraft stuff in a nostalgic way but why do good colours have to taste like plastic!

I have to laugh. My family begs for the boxed stuff. They love cauliflower, though, so they would probably go for this. I think it looks and sounds terrific!

That's a combination I've always loved! Your Mac & Cheese looks scrumptious to boot!

Susan, thank you! My hubby is a pain with it comes to eat cauliflower - this sounds PERFECT.
- October 16, 2008 at 3:36 AM
I feel kind of dumb here, but I can't find how we get the cauliflower into the dish. It doesn't seem to be mentioned again after we puree and set it aside. Or am I just not seeing it?

Great idea for adding veggies to 'regular' food. And you're right, who wouldn't love Dorito flavoured mac and cheese?
- October 16, 2008 at 5:38 AM
Are we serving the cauliflower on the side? Do we mix it in with the cheese sauce? I love mac 'n' cheese AND cauliflower, but I must have missed something?
- October 16, 2008 at 5:54 AM

Do orange cauliflower exist? or were you playing with photoshop? Amazing colour!!!! How beautiful! Also the dish looks like one of those that need a good siesta after :D

Great recipe. Love that orange cauliflower AND your pretty wavy green baking dish Susan!

Doritos Mac n Cheese? Now that's some good marketing! If I had kids I'd have to be so creative. But since it's just me and my hubby trying to eat vegan, this recipe did pretty well for us http://doesabodygood.blogspot.com/2008/09/if-it-sticks-to-pan-it-probably-sticks.html

your story on preferring box mac n' cheese over homemade made me smile. we were picky eaters as kids (me and my sibs) and we didn't like mom's version either. (she used all sharp cheddar) but when i was an adult, i went to texas with my hubby and found real mac n' cheese again. i found a recipe that my family loves too. interesting to put the golden cauliflower in it...very sneaky! (my family won't eat cauliflower unless i did that too!)
- October 16, 2008 at 9:03 AM
- Sharon said...
I too am at a loss for when to add the califlower. I would assume we add it to the cheese mixture before the noodles, but if you could clarify that would be great.
- October 16, 2008 at 9:12 AM
- Kara said...
Wow, I thought you were kidding with the cauliflower addition, but this looks amazing. Now if I can just figure out where to find orange cauliflower so we can take advantage of that extra Vitamin A!

I've never even seen an orange cauliflower. Sounds so different, but delicious!

Ya know what? As an ethnic kid growing up in then WASP Toronto, we always heard what the other kids were eating (Kraft Dinner) and we wanted it too. Add targeted marketing to kids and you have a hynotized generation of kids.
You sneaking in orange cauliflowe is a brilliant way to make this dish more healthy....salute!
- October 16, 2008 at 9:44 AM
I hate the only kids around who don't like mac-n-cheese - no matter how it's prepared. However, I will try this one out because it just looks plain good. I'll call it Dorito Pasta & they'll love it.
xoxox Amy
p.s. It feels good seeing the hubby eat straight from the dish, doesn't it! Kudos to you.
- October 16, 2008 at 9:54 AM
- Unknown said...
I'm also wondering when we put in the cauliflower! Could you spell it out for us, please? I guess I could just throw it in with everything else before adding the breadcrumbs, but I don't know if that's "right" - I'm an oldest child so I like to play by the rules :)
- October 16, 2008 at 10:27 AM
This sounds great, Susan! I love the idea of using pureed cauliflower in the sauce!
- October 16, 2008 at 10:41 AM

I didn't even know the 'made' orange cauliflower! LOL I was looking for a good mac & cheese recipe to use when son comes to visit... looks like this is the one!

Um, am I an adult? Anyway, I know I'll enjoy this one! I've never enjoyed the boxed, really never. The spice and the cauliflower is brilliant Susan! Many thanks.

My husband also claims to like the mac'n cheese from the blue box...Childhood memories I assume. But I refuse to buy it, hahaha... I never had that because in Brazil there wasn't such a thing.

That fajita spice is genius! Doritos... fantastic! I'm such a sucker for improvements on kid-foods.

mac and cheese is my weakness.
I never make it, in fear of eating the whole pan.
I wish I had seen this recipe a few nts ago....I had a whole head of cauliflower and didn't know what to do with it! I love it!
I posted your 212 cookie post today on my blog, referring that I needed to lose some weight! I don't know if you are helping!
- October 17, 2008 at 8:23 AM
- RecipeGirl said...
What a great way to sneak in that cauliflower. My son would never eat it on its own. Did you get that at a Farmer's Mkt. or Whole Foods or where (the caul.)? Cool color.
I think crumbled doritos on top would be a novel idea!
- October 17, 2008 at 11:53 AM
Genius! I love the idea of cauliflower in the cheese sauce. I make my mac 'n chz almost exactly the same way (well, w/out the fajita seasoning- that might be tasty) and I can't eat pasta without crunchy breadcrumbs on top. I love to season mine with all kinds of dried herbs and other flavors.
- October 17, 2008 at 12:57 PM
- Cookie baker Lynn said...
Doritos mac & cheese? My kids (and hubbie) would be all over that. I've never been able to get them to eat cauliflower yet, so maybe this would be the agent of change.
- October 17, 2008 at 7:42 PM
thanks for this new take on Mac&Cheese. The last time I made healthy M&C, I went with a Martha Stewart recipe that used butternut squash. These days, M&C is such a staple at our house, I usually buy the big boxes of Annie's at CostCo. Thanks to your suggestion, I will bring this staple back to the oven!
- October 17, 2008 at 8:06 PM

I learn something new every day - I had never heard of an orange cauliflower before. A healthy mac'n'cheese sounds like a great idea for a quick lunch etc - must try this.

I like the sound of adding cauliflower to mac and cheese!
- October 18, 2008 at 11:24 AM

So that's how you get Dorito flavor in things :)

Hi Susan
One of my very favourite childhood foods I have to say, full fat or not! That orange cauli looks stunning.
- October 19, 2008 at 5:32 AM
- Aparna Balasubramanian said...
I never knew cauliflower could be orange too.
And a great way to make mac 'n cheese. As you know, we love veggies in ours.:)
As for kids liking the stuff that comes out of a box better, I think its a phase. As we grow older we start appreciating the real thing.
- October 19, 2008 at 10:57 AM

Ohhhhh... looks yummy. I wonder if I could convince the kids of this one?

This adult would love it, that's for sure! I love homemade mac and cheese, nothing is more comforting.
- October 22, 2008 at 5:19 AM
Just made the mac n cheese--used an orange cauliflower, and it was FABULOUS!! Hadn't had mac n cheese in years.
I used my Vitamix to puree the cauliflower which was a breeze & I didn't need to cool it down.
It was difficult to whisk out all the lumps, so I dumped that in the Vitamix separately & then continued that part of the process.
My cauliflower may have been too large, because there was a lot of sauce. More macaroni or less sauce would have been preferable.
Used fajita seasoning & salt & paper. This is definitely a recipe to make again!!!
Also used the Barilla Plus elbows for a healthier pasta.
Thanks, The Healthy Librarian

My brother and I used to always request Mac 'n Cheese "the box kind" too! I have no idea what we were thinking, especially since my mom used to make the homemade using smoky Gouda.
Can't wait to try this out with the cauliflower, sounds fabulous!

lyb-I think a lot of people would agree with you.
thl-Wow! I'm so happy to hear you already tried it and liked it. Thanks for letting me know. I made the recipe 2x before posting it and didn't have extra sauce. Maybe it was the cauliflower? Not sure. I'll take note next time I make it though.
ames-Mmm... smoky gouda sounds even better to me.

- Jeanne said...
Oh look at theat beautiful cauliflower! Never seen one that colour... I was never really a fan of mac 'n' cheese growing up, but I did love the (admittedly sinfully caolrific) one I made recently. Love the sound of this one - kind of like cauliflower cheese with some noodles thrown in :)
- October 30, 2008 at 8:49 AM
Hi Susan,
I just tried this recipe, and oh my gosh, it is delicious. Other than using plain old white cauliflower, I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. Everyone in my family loved it, including my anti-veggie husband. It's funny how little you taste the cauliflower...
Thanks for sharing. I'm keeping this recipe in my collection!
- December 18, 2008 at 5:27 PM

melissa-I'm so pleased to hear it! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. And now you have a cauliflower go-to dish in your arsenal for the anti-veg hubs. ;) Cheers!
- December 18, 2008 at 5:42 PM
Hi Susan,
I usually follow recipes step by step, but I find I often play around a bit with the recipes on FoodBlogga! For this one, I used white cauliflower and also some butternut squash. I must have messed up the proportions because it then needed more cheese. So when I warmed up my plate in the microwave, I added some slices of extra sharp cheddar and also some peas and I was back on track! Really delicious, plus an easy way to get some veggies into the mix! Thanks!

Oh, good! Maybe I'll try making it one day then. I don't like cauliflower but I've been wondering about it being in mac and cheese. I don't like a lot of vegetables so I try and get them in different ways.

Developer of touch feedback technology Immersion has integrated its Haptic SDK functionality into three popular developer platforms — Unity, GameMaker: Studio, and Marmalade. The Haptic SDK includes a library of predesigned haptic effects, now accessible to developers without leaving these coding frameworks.

- Enabling a Smooth DX Transformation in the Post-Pandemic New Tomorrow
The term haptics refers to the sense of touch from the Greek ἅπτω = "I fasten onto, I touch". So when we refer to haptic technology, or haptic feedback, this is (in the broadest sense) the act of stimulating a user's sense of touch such as with a vibrating hand controller.
Immersion describes a haptic effect as one that defines the behavior of the vibration actuator over a (typically short) period of time, just like a sound clip defines the behavior of an audio speaker over time — so you may have a "crunch" sound clip that you use when some event occurs in your app; likewise, you'd use a "crunch" haptic effect when the appropriate event occurs in your app.
"Immersion's growing community of game developers has embraced haptic technology as a way to create more engaging and differentiated gaming experience," explains Suzanne Nguyen, Director of Developer Marketing at Immersion. "Our library of gaming effects includes predesigned haptics for a broad range of use cases, from action effects, like explosions and collisions to UI effects, such as select confirmation or textures. We make the design and integration of haptics as easy as possible, and now we are empowering developers to access our haptic effect library directly from their favorite development environment."
Immersion haptic technology works on all Android devices, and will be automatically turned off when ported to games for other OS types. aThe company offers a number of resources for Android game developers, including the Haptic SDK for native application development, the Haptic Studio tool for custom effect design, sample code, quickstart guides, and a technology forum, via the developer website.

"We cheered as loudly as we could, and we skated circles around Dad as he walked back onto solid ground. All I could think was: 'My dad is the bravest man alive.'" - Testing the Ice: A True Story About Jackie Robinson by Sharon Robinson, illustrated by Kadir Nelson
He's known as the bravest man in baseball, the man who broke the color barrier in the major leagues. In 1947, Jackie Robinson made his major league debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers and became the first African American to play in the modern era of Major League Baseball. But Jackie Robinson was more than a great baseball player. He was an all-around gifted athlete, a business man, a civil rights activist and a husband and father. His daughter, Sharon Robinson, tells a story of his bravery on and off the field in her newly released picture book, Testing the Ice: A True Story About Jackie Robinson.
A compelling storyteller, Sharon Robinson shares two ways in which her father "tested the ice," first in his baseball career and then later in a more literal manner on a small lake near their home in Connecticut. Sharon describes her father's legendary entry into the major leagues, a move that broke the color barrier and paved the way for others. She layers that historical period of time alongside a more personal one -- a touching family moment when her father tested the ice on a lake near their home, checking it for weak spots before he allowed his children and their friends to ice skate, despite his fear of water and his inability to swim. In an understated way through the use of powerful metaphor she effectively relates Robinson's strong character, his fortitude and patience, despite his fear and the obstacles he faced.
Children often understand best when they have a way of relating to the subject matter. By recounting a personal event from her own childhood, Sharon Robinson draws children into the book and helps them learn a little about one of the greatest baseball players of all time and the fight to end racial injustices in our nation. Kadir Nelson's detailed, brilliant paintings sweep across the pages, perfectly capturing special moments from Robinson's memorable steal of home in the first game of the 1955 World Series to a breathtaking view of Robinson tapping on the frozen lake. Meant for children ages 7-10, the book contains a suspenseful moment and will keep their interest. Even those that are not baseball fans will find the story and illustrations awe-inspiring.

Men and masculinities in modern Africa
Heinemann, 2003 - 265 pages
This collection is the first to analyze the concepts and issues involved in exploring African men and the constructions of masculinity in sub-Saharan Africa. Major themes include men as gendered actors, the social construction of masculinity, masculinity as a relational category, and hegemonic and subordinate masculinities. This book challenges stereotypes of African men as savages, patriarchs, or emasculated colonial victims. Essays establish the centrality of gender to the social and political transformation of 20th-century Africa. Chronologically and regionally diverse, the collection moves from the early colonial period through the era of independence and includes local studies throughout the continent, as well as the work of both junior and senior scholars. Anyone interested in scholarship on gender and Africa will find this collection invaluable and thought provoking.

Since you are all now seasoned pros at wonky block making, I'm going to move a bit more quickly. Besides, I can tell by our Flickr pool that many of you have already figured this block out on your own!
First, as always, begin with a center square for your block. I started with a nice, fat 3" square this time, for no reason other than that I wanted to feature that rose design.
As with the other blocks, I shaved a bit off of some of the sides to start giving the block some of its interesting angles. This time, I cut on 3 of the sides. As usual, you can skew anywhere from 0 to 4 of the sides ... and as severely or as subtly as you'd like. Try it out a few different ways and see what feels the best for you.
Let me stop for a sec and point out that nifty little ruler that you see in the picture above. I know I mentioned at the start of this quilt along that the only tool I'd recommend is the 12.5" ruler. Well, a strong second suggestion would be a little ruler like this one. It's much more convenient to make small trims with it than with my larger, bulkier rulers.
Next, plan your first round of logs. When I make these blocks, I usually like to make my first log from a different fabric than the next three. I don't know why, but I suspect it's because I saw Denyse Schmidt do something like that in her blocks. Of course, this is completely optional ... but consider adding a "random" log somewhere in your block, if not in your first round than maybe in a later round. Try it out in the same pattern as your other logs but in a different color, or from a different pattern in the same color. It'll be cool ... I promise.
Sew, press, and trim, as you might expect.
Here's the block with its first set of logs attached:
You might notice that I added thinner strips on the bottom and right side, and wider strips on the top and left. Alternating your strip sizes is a nice way to offset the block's center and keep that middle square moving throughout the block. This is a great time to point you to a wonderful post about some tricks to making effective wonky blocks ... check out Jenny's post on her blempgorf blog.
You know what comes next ...
I went pretty severe on this one ... by my standards, anyway.
Proceed to adding your second set of logs. You can see here that I followed Jenny's advice and used thinner strips on bottom and right side this time, to balance the block out and move the center back closer to ... well, to the center:
With another round of logs attached, it is again time to make some cuts and give your block some more interesting angles:
On to your third round of logs.
In this round, I decided to use a technique that I introduced in the quarter log cabin tutorial -- the pieced log:
And here's my block so far with everything sewn, pressed and trimmed:
Now is a good time to do a progress-check, using your 12.5" ruler as your guide:
So here's what I determined about my block at this point: it's looking far too rectangular, taller than it is wide. Keep an eye out for some common pitfalls, like blocks becoming rectangular, a corner becoming way too pointy, the center sqaure being pushed too far to one side, or the block taking on the shape of a parallelogram.
Not a problem, I'll just make some more trims:
Much better.
Time for your fourth round of logs. Here's another technique you may (or may not) want to try. Square-in-square blocks are built off the premise of using the same fabric for each round of logs. But who said you always have to follow that rule? Isn't the first rule of wonky block making that there are no rules?
For my block, I decided to use one fabric for the bottom (first) log, switch to a different pattern for the next two logs, and finish out the round with the same fabric as the first.
After sewing, pressing, and trimming, it's time for another check:
Errrrr ... and now you know why I recommend this step. First, it helped me to see that I should be good to go with just one more round of logs. (And, as I mentioned in my last post, you don't always have to use 3" strips for your outer borders. My ruler helped me to see that I can use 2" and 2.5" strips for my outer borders, and still have plenty of room to trim). Also, in this instance, it helped me see that my bottom left corner was sticking way too far out.
Time for some more trims. I trimmed up the bottom and left side to reduce the angle of that corner, and help to keep it closer to square:
Did you notice me practicing one of my earlier tips, too? Look at the left side of my block. See how the yellow log went from skinny at the top to wider at the bottom? I wanted my trim of the pink rose log to offset that angle and balance it out a bit, so I cut that strip to be wider at the top and skinny at the bottom.
How's it looking now?:
Another judgment call. Not enough wonk -- it's looking a little too square. A little more off of the top and right side. You can see the skinny/wide trick again on the right:
Add the first two strips of your final round of logs. You can see that I started improvising from my scrap pile, since I was running short of that outer border fabric. I pieced my first (bottom) log with some coordinating prints:
After another gut check, I added the third and fourth logs. Here's my block before my final trim:
To be frank, I wasn't too thrilled with how that bottom border turned out, so I leveraged my final cut to trim that log down:
And voila! There you have it, the wonky square-in-square block.
If I could change anything about this block, I think I would have added a solid or two. I think, moreso than the other three block variations, this block design really pops with the use of some solids -- I suspect it's because it makes it easier for your eye to discern the square-in-square shape. That seems to get lost a bit when using all prints.
Well, every block can't be a star ... some have to play supporting roles in your quilt, too!
As always, I'd love to hear your feedback. I can't wait to see some of your wonky square-in-square blocks pop up in the Flickr pool. One more block to go, and then it's up to you to figure out how you want to use them in your final quilt design.
Have fun!

Park Place Branch
The Park Place Branch was established as the Black Culture Center at 3506 Colonial Avenue in February 1970, funded by the Model City Library Service Program.
When the Park Place Service Multi-service Center opened in 1979, the Black Culture Collection was moved there and renamed Park Place Branch Library. It was one of four such centers funded by Norfolk's Model City program to decentralize certain city services, making them more convenient to the neighborhoods that they served. A computer lab, funded by a grant from Landmark Communications, opened in 1999. Park Place Branch was completely renovated in 2008.

More Testimonials »
In 1832, William Winsor and Henry Newton founded Winsor & Newton out of Henry Newton's home in London. Their involvement with the artist community, and interest in painting, spurred Winsor and Newton to create new and innovative artist materials.
In 1837, Winsor and Newton introduced Chinese White, an opaque zinc white for watercolor artists. The company was recognized by the Royal family early in its existence, being appointed as artists' colourmen to Queen Victoria in 1841. Winsor and Newton has continued to receive the endorsement of successive Royal Households, beginning with the reception of their first Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria in 1841. This warrant allows them to be styled "By Appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales", and to display the Prince of Wales badge of three feathers on their premises, delivery vehicles, stationary, advertisements, and their products.
With its long history and continued success, Winsor and Newton takes their ecological footprint very seriously in the 21st century.
Only FSC sourced wood is used for all Winsor and Newton brush handles, easels, and canvas stretchers. All the natural hair products come from sustainable sources, and are by-products of other industries. The company has also reduced the amount of water used in their factory, resulting in a savings of 1.2 million litres of water annually. [ visit manufacturer website ]

Snow always makes me feel like a little kid. Especially the first big snowstorm of each year. Memories of waking up to see the window sill coated white. Lying in bed, awaiting that early morning call from the phone chain letting my parents know that school was canceled. Sledding with friends in the park that was just next to my house. And of course, hot cocoa when we returned home, noses and hands chapped despite gloves and scarves. Then ready to head out for more.
This year's first snowfall was a bit of a letdown. Less than an inch but still sticking to the grass and sufficiently cold to cause traffic issues on black ice. Nonetheless, I slept in, bundled up in blankets and quilts, and had a nice indoor Sunday. And I realized that I could fight it no longer — soup season was officially here.
So, my inaugural soup this Winter (oh, even writing the word seems like an admission of the season despite a couple more weeks before the calendar agrees) is a spicy butternut squash one. No sweet squash here — I always prefer main course types to be savory. And this one has a kick of spice that hits you nicely, keeping your cheeks and tongue warm long after the soup has reached your belly.
Here's to soup season and many cozy nights.
Spicy Butternut Squash Soup
Adapted from Simple to Spectacular by Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Mark Bittman. What I love about the cookbook is that it presents a limited number of dishes, each with five variations ranging in difficulty as the title suggests. This particular recipe is second in the butternut squash soup repertoire. It calls for roasting the squash twice – once on the stovetop and once in the oven. When pressed for time, I have skipped the stovetop roasting with only a small drop in the richness of squash flavor. And don't forget to roast the seeds — they taste a little bit like popcorn.
– 2 T extra virgin olive oil
– 2-3 cloves minced garlic
– 2 medium or 3 small butternut squash (original recipe calls for 2 lb of squash, but I never pay attention to weight)
– 1/2 – 1 t red pepper flakes (to taste)
– 1 t thyme
– 4 C broth (vegetable, chicken, etc)
– Parmesan (optional)
– salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Prepare the squash. Peel, seed, and cut the squash into 1-inch chunks. I would really encourage you to wash the seeds off and roast them.
Pan-roast. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in large skillet that will fit at least 6C of liquid — I have often done this directly in a large ovenproof pot. Add garlic, squash, red pepper flakes, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook the squash, stirring every few minutes until squash starts to brown. This takes 10-15 minutes.
Oven-roast. Put the skillet in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, checking and shaking 2-3 times.
Back to the stove-top. Take the skillet out and put it back on the stove-top over medium heat. Add the stock. Cook another 15-20 minutes until the squash is very tender. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. If it is too thick, add some water.
Serve with some grated Parmesan or roasted squash seeds.

When will paralyzed old scientists stop being funny? never. Luckily god created a universe for us where lonely old physicists are hilarious, so we will always have something at which to laugh.
We know that Randall doesn't particularly care for the LAMESTREAM media. He's dropped us some hints before. Specifically, he thinks the media overreacts to small things in order to sensationalize them and attract attention to themselves. It's a perfectly valid complaint, but I just wonder if he ever gets sick of them. I guess not!
Today's comic also demonstrates a remarkable penchant for delayed reaction, as the story this comic is referencing is a bit old already. The gist is, Stephen Hawking suggested, for the first time in human history, that maybe there is no god? And everyone went crazy! Here's an article from two weeks ago complaining that the story is overblown and old news.
Usually, when there's an xkcd comic about a very topical event that will be forgotten in a few weeks, I think that kind of ruins any resale value for the comic - good luck to those people going through the archives who stumble across this, for example. In this case it's even worse, as the "controversy" ended with a fizz long before this comic even came out and we read it for the first time. Oh well.this
I do like at least one thing about this comic: The font on the text in panel 1 does a good job of visually conveying the computerized speech we so strongly associate with Dr. Hawking.
Lastly, back when the story was still interesting, Tom the Dancing Bug did a much better comic making fun of this story. Reasons why his is better:
--Presents an actual statement on the conflict between religion and science, as well as between partisan followers of the two,
--cleverly makes the scientist be named "Science Hero" so he can have the S.H. monogram,
--angry, vengeful stephen hawking is much funnier than lonely sad stephen hawking.
You are all reading Tom the Dancing bug, right?

ACDi adds three key pieces of equipment to its manufacturing plant
Electronics contract manufacturing firm, ACDi, says that it has added three new pieces of equipment to their Frederick, Maryland, headquarters.
The company has purchased, installed and is fully operating Optical Control's SMD X-Ray Counting Machine, Koh Young's 3D Solder Paste Inspection Machine and the Zenith3D Automated Optical Inspection Machine, the company states in a press release. The Optical Control SMD X-Ray counting machine provides exact inventory knowledge which in turn enables more efficient production and increased on-time delivery. The OC-SCAN CCX.3 significantly streamlines the electronics manufacturing process and gives an exact outline of single component stocks. The 3D solder paste inspection system from Koh Young is the fastest solder paste inspection machine available with 3D shadow-free moiré technology, warp compensation and a user-friendly Renewal GUI. It delivers true 3D inspection without concern for inaccuracies resulting from shadowing. Koh Young's Zenith 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) platform effectively measures true pro lometric component shapes, foreign materials, patterns and solder joints on assembled PCBs to overcome the vulnerabilities and shortcomings of 2D AOIs. "With the addition of these systems to our electronics manufacturing facility, the company is adopting smart factory technology in line with Industry 4.0 initiatives," says Agustin Mosquera, Operations Manager at ACDi. "This technology helps us to operate more efficiently, with increased accuracy and elevates the services we offer our clients."
