Beat the Streak Report: Thursday, July 1
Let me preface everything I'm about to write with the fact that my
longest streak this season is a mere seven-gamer. I pick with my heart
more than my head 80 percent of the time. If Miguel Cabrera played
everyday, I'd never change my pick. I threw away a four-game streak
just to pick Pedro Alvarez on the day he got called up.
So, sure, criticism from me towards a guy who just completed a 41-game
streak would be like Danny DeVito chastising Yao Ming for not being
tall enough.
With that said, I just don't get Kyle "kbarr9" Barr's selection
of Denard Span yesterday which ultimately wrecked his chances at the
$3,000,000 grand prize.
Let's get right to the steak and deal with the side dishes later:
Span was facing Tigers rookie southpaw Andy Oliver, a very
talented and highly touted 2009 second-round pick of the Tigers whose
average fastball hovers around 94 mph. Did I mention he's left handed?
I did? OK, good.
Like everyone else in the Majors who does not play for the
Atlanta Braves, Span had never faced Oliver before. This is not a good
thing, especially when Span is batting only a respectable .284 vs.
southpaws this season.
At best, at the VERY best, choosing Span vs. a
hard-throwing lefty who he's never seen before seems like a
below-average choice. And that's being kind, actually, ya know,
considering we are allowed to select any Major League hitter in this
game — not just someone from the Minnesota Twins (and if this were a
Twins-only BTS game, Span at best would be the second-best choice
behind Justin Morneau and his .343 AVG against lefties).
With that said, again, my highest streak of the year is seven.
What do I know?
Time for Thursday's picks
Oh, hello there …
- Josh Hamilton: 23-game hitting streak; .389 AVG (7-for-18) lifetime vs. Angels starter Jered Weaver
? Ichiro Suzuki: .396 AVG (19-for-48) lifetime vs. Yankees starter CC Sabathia
? David Wright: .414 AVG (12-for-29) since '05 vs. Nationals starter Livan Hernandez
? Pat Burrell: .632 AVG (12-for-19) lifetime vs. Rockies starter Aaron Cook
? Orlando Cabrera: .389 AVG (14-for-36) lifetime vs. Cubs starter Carlos Silva
? Christian Guzman: .474 AVG (9-for-19) lifetime vs. Mets starter Johan Santana
Feeling kinda spicy?
? B.J. Upton: .455 AVG (5-for-11) lifetime vs. Twins starter Carl Pavano
What we know: Upton is batting .226 this year and Pavano and his 'stache have been nearly unhittable as of late.
What we don't know: If Upton will even be in the lineup.
Verdict: Check, please!
You'll thank me later …
? Carlos Lee: .071 AVG (1-for-14) lifetime vs. Padres starter Jon Garland.
? Evan Longoria: .125 AVG (1-for-8) lifetime vs. Twins starter Carl Pavano
? Erick Aybar: .091 AVG (1-for-11) lifetime vs. Rangers starter C.J. Wilson
Leaderboard time!
With Barr no longer in the equation, we have a new fearsome threesome atop the leaderboard, each with 30-game streaks:
? JohnWillson
? ignaciometcalf
? wolfenstein35
Only 27 more games to go. Call me in four weeks, k?
Top MLB streakers
? Josh Hamilton: 23 games
? Corey Hart: 15 games
? Jose Lopez: 13 games
? Miguel Cabrera : 11 games
? Cody Ross: 11 games
? Mark Teixeira: 11 games

What's up everybody. It's been a while but just wanted to say thank god June is over. My worst month ever. Thank god July is here. New month and time to start a nice long streak. I have Hamilton in BTS, Rolen in HR BTS, Yanks in Survivor. Good luck to all.
Below are the only BTS leaders to reach 40+ before the All-Star break.
Dick George is immortalized in the BTS world with his inclusion in the All-Time Streak Leader List
Expect Kyle Barr to be added to the list this week.
BTS User, Streak Breaker, Date Ended, Streak
Dick George, Ichiro Suzuki, 6/27/2010, 43
Kyle Barr, Denard Span, 6/30/2010, 41
Tanner Nielsen, Joe Mauer, 6/23/2009, 45
Bob Paradise, Ichiro Suzuki, 7/4/2008, 48
Reid Choroszy, Matt Holliday, 6/24/2007, 40
Note: We have 3 leaders tied at 30 today. 10 days left before the All-Star break, maybe more will make it to 40 on that date.
More and more jumping on the Wright train. Yeah baby…..
I feel all right with Wright…… LOL
In kbarr's defense, Span bats crazy (Cano #s) against lefties @ home. He has done this last year too @ the old stadium. He is a homely person or something about the state of MN.
Botched the formatting; here's the list & a bit more readable
BTS User, Streak Breaker, Date Ended, Streak
Dick George, Ichiro Suzuki, 6/27/2010, 43
Kyle Barr, Denard Span, 6/30/2010, 41

Bob Paradise, Ichiro Suzuki, 7/4/2008, 48
Reid Choroszy, Matt Holliday, 6/24/2007, 40
Well, I went with Wright again, for the fourth straight day.
Was not sure if I wanted to pick against Hernandez, but he seems to have given up enough hits lately for me to take a shot and Wright's numbers against Hernandez are right in the sweet spot.
Besides, most of the hitters doing well lately are off today.
The next strongest today was probably Ricke Weeks and he already lucked out yesterday, so I did not want to test it.
Went with Jeter today. And his leadoff single in the 1st extended my streak to a decent 15 games.
Span was batting .403 lifetime against the Tigers and coming off a hott 3 triples game…tried catching lightning in a bottle.
David Ardsma of Seattle really should consider a job working for Starbucks. Maybe he will be good @ handling hot coffee. This guy blows every game he comes in. I am a Yankee fan but I root for underdogs like Seattle. So Seattle barely muster 2 runs and this moron comes in and blows it. He is 0-4 going on 0-5 now.
How will this guy show his face when he heads back to the dugout? He basically zapped little joy Seattle had this week.
I went with Wright as well. I hope he hits! Happy almost 4th all!! 🙂
No self-respecting Yankee fan ever roots for the other team. EVER. Who cares about Seattle's joy. Hurl some beer, give 'em a Bronx cheer and a few finger gestures next time. 🙂 What's next, cheering on the crazy idiots??????????? Heaven forbid!!!
Hey everyone vote for Miguel Cabrera for the all star game. Theres no reason why he shouldn't have the most votes.
@nardberg: I have a love & hate relationship with the Yanks. I really despise and hate the way they buy championship. The way they overpay for everyone. I sometimes take joy in their failure. Especailly, when it involves a righteous cheater like A-Roid. I am presuming you're a Yankee fan too. And I really do not like AJ. He was overrated with Toronto but Yanks threw tons of dinero his way. This guy blows like ever 2 out 5 games to the point of no return. It was the same last year. I actually don't even like most of the players on the team except for Swisher, Cano and CC.
I forgot another failed project. Curtis Granderson. That was seen coming miles away. Not that I cared about Damon that much but Granderson is highly overrated. Even when he is hot, he simply cannot hit lefties. And they gave away Austin Jackson who gets min. salary. In the meantime, the Yankees expect us to continue shell out outrageous amount of money for everything. It was such a joy seeing empty seats at the stadium last year.
Granderson is way overrated, i'm a tigers fan and when he played for them I hated him, Jackson is incredible, way better than Grandy all round.

abk1087, streak was 9 reset by Cano
When Vaz wasn't pitching well the first month, their was talk of Yankees going out to get another starter. I am sure if that was just press talking or the management's thinking but doesn't this sound preposterous?
So you take almost Cy Young winner from last year and a #1 starter for the Braves. He strikes out tons. You make him the #4/5 starter. Then you give him one month and you're already getting antsy? I actually hoped they traded Vaz to Houston for Oswalt and see Vaz pitch as well as they did last year. This kind of thing bothers me about the Yankees. They make the games lot less interesting for small market teams like Pirates.
I don't know about David Wright for today. Something about Livan this year that puts kinks in the stats. I went against him like 3 times with hitters who hit him well & all 3 times they came out 0-fers. I vowed never to diss his Mickey Mouse curveball that goes even slower than Wakefield's knuckler.
"abk1087, streak was 9 reset by Cano" Cano got a hit today. HR.
Hmmm. How does Cincinnate get 16 hits and score 3 runs? How many double or quadraple plays you have to get into to achieve this?
btsplayer: streak ended yesterday with Cano's 0-fer.
btsplayer: Agree with you about Wright for diff reasons. For me, it was a strong gut feeling. Avoided him as my pick though he was my formula's best pick.
@btsplayer: Cano didn't get a hit yesterday, which was why abk1087's streak was reset.
Yeah that's the spirit spear716! Your fellow Tigers fan here agrees whole heartedly! VOTE CABRERA!
spear716, that's the spirit! Your fellow Tigers fan here agrees whole heartedly! VOTE CABRERA!!! And while you're at it, write in Brennan Boesch too!
Oops sorry about the double post! Please disregard the 1st one!
Hey, you said your best streak was 7 games. Since you work for mlb.com, are you allowed to play this game?
Final Days BTS Deadlines
The last day you can start a streak at 1 and still win some big money
$3MIL, streak of 57: August 8th
$10K, streak of 44: August 21st
I know…. it was a tough decision to take him 4th time in a row. I focused more on Livan coming down to earth during his last few starts. I was down to 3 choices Wright, Jeter and Pujols. Oh well a couple more at bats to go………. COMMON WRIGHT LOL…..
whats the official number of how many people play this game? this is my first season and i cant get enough
"Final Days BTS Deadlines
The last day you can start a streak at 1 and still win some big money
$3MIL, streak of 57: August 8th
$10K, streak of 44: August 21st"
You will need at least 3 days of cushion. All kinds of stuff happen at the end of year making your player not being in the line-up. And when it rains, it rains.
Blanco, u should of chose somebody else as u can't go to the well too often. U had Wright for 3 days and got hits each day. I would of went a different route. He looks good on paper but did u check Livan's home stays. He pitches way better at home compared to the road. His ERA is 1.81 at home this year and he gives up far fewer hits but we will see what happens.
Hoping for extras now………..
blanco21, it would have been so cool if went with Henry Blanco.
ha ha lol…… can you believe it? Blanco with 2 hits and Wright an 0fer…..baseball is a funny game
Nice run Blanco but time came to raise the bandera blanca
I agree with vinny1979. You went to well little too long with Wright. Wright is not that type of hitter. He normally has many 0fer days between 2 to 3 days of hitting. I think you can do that with is Ichiro and M. Cab. But even those guys can burn you though because they go on minor slumps of 2 to 3 days in a row of 0-fers. Good run though! I think you have longest streak this year for the messagers here.
Today is shaping out to be an uneventful day if you didn't pick Cano. Not many screaming picks today. And I still don't think Cano was a great pick. It was contest between who is worst. Cano's inability to hit lefties this month v. Rowland-Smith's inability to get leffties out. Cano won!
One thing I am 100% clear on is that you can't get to 57 picking only the premier players. Sometimes you got to step really outside the plate. I mean guys who are scrubs but who happen to shine that day. I will put it to this way. The blooger's "you will thank me later picks" have a pretty good track record of getting hits. I stopped counting it while back but if you take out guys who are not gonna play, I wouldn't be surprised to see if they have a better track record than the MLB pick of the day.
Uneventful day? Depends on one's view. With Wright & McC 0-fer and appears Braun also, leaderboard will be quite different tomorrow. Moreso depending on how TEX & A.Gonzalez do. Quality vs Quantity of resets.
BTS – RSox Beltre
What I meant was there wasn't anyone that stood out to pick. All of the picks were somewhat iffy @ best including Cano. I am worried about wolfenstein a bit. He made 2 trips to front page last year. This guy is a good picker. I think he will be our next Dick/kbarr.
dragbunt: BoSox for me too
btsplayer: We'll see. At least we'll be playing after All-Star break 🙂
"Narveson simulated the first two batters he would face in the bullpen before his last start to shake the struggles that accounted for a 12.27 first-frame ERA this season."
Just got this from probably pitcher page. This game really can turn on a dime. This could have been the difference between Ichiro lacing a cheap hit for Dick in his first AB vs. going 0fer.
btsPlayer wrote: "This guy is a good picker. I think he will be our next Dick/kbarr."
FYI: Looking back at Top2500 data, Wolfy entered it on 9 June with streak of 8. Dick was tied for 4th & Barr was tied for 24th on that day
The day started out promising for the leader board but ended with a slaughter of sorts: 36% reset among the Top2500.
Beltre looks like a standout pick this weekend. I have him penned in for BTS & HRBTS but going with Brandon Phillips tomorrow.
Well it finally happened……
Joey "The Black Cat" Votto – Called out on strikes in the first inning on a low pitch, argues with Plate Umpire Angel Campos, throws his helmet and gets tossed from the game.
Officialy 0-1 and how many streaks end?

So, I just received my most recent order from Urban Decay, and since it included the Mystery Travel Bag, I thought I'd show everyone what's in it! The mystery bag was pretty good, but I had some issues with this order, which is sad because I'm an enormous UD fangirl.
The bag itself is clear and made of thick plastic and will join the pile of other makeup bags I've gotten free with purchases that I never, ever have a use for. I received travel sizes of All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray and Supercurl Curling Mascara, a mini 24/7 Shadow Pencil in Rehab, a full size Lip Junkie lip gloss in Naked, and of course the ubiquitous sample card of primer potion.
The best thing about this for me is the lip gloss – not because it's full-sized, but because it confirms my suspicion that I need to immediately buy every lip color UD makes in the shade Naked. It's perfect for me!
The bag cost $16 and supposedly includes over $45 of Urban Decay products. I can't speak to that because pricing on travel/sample sizes is always a little shady, no matter the brand, but this is a good buy specifically for the lipgloss I received, which sells for more than the cost of the bag.
Also included in the box I received were a card with a UD logo sticker and a $5 coupon for my next purchase (not sure if that's because I bought the travel bag or what?), and my mystery Early Exclusive Sample. Well, sort of. Neither of these things was actually included in my package. I received a card/wrapper thingy for Naked Skin Beauty Balm, which Iwas SO EXCITED to try…but there was nothing inside the card. Furthermore, the card with the coupon on it has a space for "your unique code," BUT THERE IS NO CODE. WTF? I'm going to contact UD about it, but I really doubt anything will come of it since I've had issues in the past with their customer service. Irritating, since I LOVE both their Naked foundation and their tinted moisturizer, and since I would TOTALLY use the code.
*UPDATE*: I emailed UD and got the credit added to my account, and she said she'd try to find another sample for me. So, pretty good!
*UPDATE 2*: I just received a package from UD containing a replacement for my sample that was missing. Faith in UD CS is restored! Really awesome, I wasn't expecting this at all.
I also got the two clearance shades of Surreal Skin Creamy Concealer, Dream and Hallucination, which are both EXTRAORDINARILY yellow. Seriously. YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW.
Oh, one more thing I wanted to mention – it looks like UD has lowered their free shipping threshold for the holiday season. You now get free shipping at $35 instead of $50.

When more than 15 years ago I was told to eliminate gluten from my diet, I did. I experienced many benefits from this approach, fewer allergic symptoms, a happier tummy, more energy. In those early days I was regarded as very strange, even by those closest to me, (my family and friends). However, I was not dissuaded. Meals became challenging especially restaurant meals. I have become accustomed to not having bread, crackers, cake, cookies, croutons, pretzels or going to specialized stores that carry some gluten-free items. No longer.
Participating in The Gluten and Allergen-Free Expo, San Francisco was just plain fun. Suddenly, I really could eat those pretzels, rolls, cookies, croutons, chocolate brownie and yes, chocolate cake with icing. Though I live in Chicago, I happened to be in San Francisco during the time that this Expo took place, and decided to attend. To be honest, I have been aware of an increasing volume and variety of gluten-free foods available at more and more stores but look out world; a vast number of new products are coming your way.
At the expo there were items that included crackers developed in one woman's tiny kitchen (Kettel Krakkers), gluten-free beer and cider, muesli, cakes, gluten-free mixes, specialized sweets and most products can be shipped. It was fun finding names and products I know and love, and very exciting to see so many names and products I did not know and products that were just delicious that are becoming available.
The Gluten and Allergen-Free Expo is the largest and fastest growing gluten-free consumer event in the United States. The GFAF Expo is offering five events in 2013 with locations in San Francisco, California; Des Moines, Iowa; Chicago, Illinois; Secaucus, NJ and Dallas, Texas that will serve over 20,000 consumers. In addition to meeting the needs of the celiac community, the GFAF Expo also focuses on aiding those with gluten sensitivities, auto-immune/anti-inflammatory diseases and autism. Interestingly, Athletes and the health conscious community will greatly benefit from the Expo's offerings as well. Over 100 large companies and small business vendors join together at each Expo.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — John Idzik shook Rex Ryan's hand and the two shared a big laugh in front of more than a dozen cameras.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — John Idzik shook Rex Ryan's hand and the two shared a big laugh in front of more than a dozen cameras.
Woody Johnson was all smiles, too, as his new general manager spoke about rebuilding the New York Jets into a playoff team.
Well, Idzik certainly has quite a task ahead of him.
"I feel that here in New York, we're going to be all-in," Idzik said at his introductory news conference Thursday. "All together."
But will that include Ryan, considered by many fans and media a lame-duck coach, beyond this season? How about struggling quarterback Mark Sanchez? Or, Tim Tebow? What about injured star cornerback Darrelle Revis, who has become the subject of trade speculation?
"I'm literally hours into the building," Idzik said. "That, we're going to save for our evaluation process."
Idzik declared his first order of business is to review the Jets' entire roster and decide who stays, who goes and who they need to come in and be part of the solution.
He spent some time earlier in the week with Ryan and several other members of the Jets' staff in Mobile, Ala., where they attended Senior Bowl workouts and got to know each other a bit. The relationship between Idzik and Ryan will be an intriguing one, especially since some considered having a coach already in place for an incoming GM a possible drawback.
"I look forward to working with Rex Ryan," Idzik said. "That, to me, was a plus."
Johnson said Idzik would play a role in deciding Ryan's fate after this season.
"That's a collaborative decision between John and I," Johnson said, "but John will certainly have something to say."
Idzik also inherits a roster that includes one of the league's top defensive players in Revis, who is recovering from a serious knee injury and has a contract that voids after the 2013 season. Revis also wants to be paid big money, fit for a player Ryan has repeatedly called one of the best he has ever coached. But a report Wednesday night said Johnson, concerned that the Jets won't be able to re-sign Revis next year, wants to explore trade options rather than risk losing him for nothing as a free agent next winter.
That talk had an angry Revis taking to Twitter on Thursday afternoon, saying he was "speechless" about the trade rumors but was "more upset for the jet nation for having to go through this!!!" The cornerback also added: "I guess we'll see how this plays out."
Johnson would neither confirm nor deny that the report was true, adding that he didn't know where it came from.
"I think it's way premature to say anything specific," said Idzik, who will have the final say on all personnel decisions.
He said the same for the future of Sanchez, who's due $8.25 million in guarantees next season and would cost the Jets a $17.1 million cap hit if they cut him.
"We just need to take our time and evaluate Mark, along with everyone else," Idzik said.
Sanchez struggled mightily in 2012, and will be working with his third offensive coordinator in as many seasons as Marty Mornhinweg replaced the fired Tony Sparano. Ryan confirmed Sanchez is talking with former quarterback Jeff Garcia to help him pick up Mornhinweg's offense.
"He needs to erase his hard drive," Ryan said.
Tebow is not expected back after one disappointing and unproductive season, but there's one intriguing twist: The Jets just hired David Lee as their quarterbacks coach. Lee is credited with reviving the wildcat offense — the role in which Tebow was expected to be a force for the Jets — in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins as few years ago.
"We'll explore every measure to bring in talent and continue to compete," Idzik said. "The draft will be very important to us. That will be a lifeline for us, year in and year out. We'll use free agency and we'll be very thoughtful, do our research and be judicious in free agency. We'll use trades, we'll use waiver claims, work from our practice roster and have numerous tryouts throughout the year in search of guys who play like a Jet."
But New York is also about $19 million over the salary cap, which could limit how Idzik will be able to operate. Cutting some veterans with hefty salaries such as linebackers Calvin Pace and Bart Scott could be part of the solution.
"I never saw the salary cap situation here as a hindrance," said Idzik, adding that he's confident the Jets can have "fruitful" offseason. "It's something you research, pore through and evaluate."
Idzik, hired to replace the fired Mike Tannenbaum last Friday after a two-week search by the Jets that included 10 candidates, had been with the Seahawks the past six seasons after previously working in the front offices of Tampa Bay and Arizona. His primary strengths include managing salaries and the salary cap, but he has also worked in player personnel — a combination that attracted the Jets.
The 52-year-old Idzik, Seattle's ex-vice president of football administration, didn't delve into specifics but rather spoke about his broad vision for the franchise he is now charged with resuscitating.
"It will be based on a collaborative effort," said Idzik, wearing an appropriate green and black checkered tie. "It will be inclusive, well thought out and well researched. And, it will be the power of 'we.'"
The Jets have also been perceived by many fans and media as having a circuslike atmosphere because of the headlines the franchise seems to constantly make off the field: trading for Tebow, Ryan's tattoo of his wife in a Sanchez jersey to name just a few.
"There seems to be a lot of misperceptions," Idzik said. "I don't sense dysfunction or anything like that."
Idzik, a native of Detroit, graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth in 1982 and played wide receiver for the Big Green. He and wife Carol have a daughter and two sons, including Bradley, a sophomore wide receiver at Wake Forest. Idzik's father John was the Jets' offensive coordinator from 1976-79.
"Football," Idzik said, "is at the root of who I am."

Given the developers insistence on setting Medal of Honor in Afghanistan to begin with, it becomes hard to disassociate yourself from this viewpoint. To Danger Closes credit, the gameplay is solid and polished, with varied styles of play and top-notch production values, thanks to a heavily modified Unreal engine.
From a mechanical perspective, feels like a hybrid of Modern Warfare and EAs own Battlefield: Bad Company series, though Danger Close has made a couple of tweaks that should be used in more FPSes. The first, leaning out of cover, has been used in PC-shooters for ages, but for some reason is rarely seen in console games (regardless, its invaluable). Medal of Honors campaign also uses a sprint-to-slide mechanic that lets you reach cover quickly and efficiently. Although both of these mechanics take some getting used to, once youve grown accustomed to them it will give you quite an edge in battle. I dont generally make note of this, but the games environmental effects and level design are also worth mentioning. Its surprisingly rare to find any FPS that actually incorporates sand and dust into attack strategy, but there are times in Medal of Honor where these natural elements are more than just atmospheric wisps only present to create texture within an environment, and can actually obscure your vision. Similarly, given that much of the Taliban forces are entrenched in mountainous regions, it should be noted that Danger Close has done a great job making your enemies hard to see when hiding among boulders on large ridgeback hills.
The amount of hard work and dedication that went into the creation of Medal of Honor is pretty evident. The game shines from a technical standpoint, and it plays as well as you would expect from high-polish production like this one. The limited vehicle use, arcade shooting, and stealth segments also help break up the pacing, so you dont get too burnt out on simply shooting everything in sight for hours on end. Technically, these elements all make Medal of Honor a good game, but its still one that suffers to some degree from a lack of purpose. Paying tribute to our brave men and women in uniformwho often go through situations that are unimaginable to all of us sitting at home with controllers in our handsis a great thing. The step that EA has taken towards establishing a precedent for exploring topical subject matter in a video game may be a small one, but its still important. But almost everything else about Medal of Honor, while enjoyable, makes it hard to shake the feeling of playing just another military shooter.

Coconut milk, coriander and jalapeno marinated Halloumi with figs
I have had a fuzzy couple of weeks, but bizarrely there has been some good to come out of this fog.
I have been in limbo between throat infection and glandular fever. I, the immunity hero who only suffered a single bout of flu in 5 years (it ended up being swine flu) have been down with more illnesses in the last two years than in the first entire lifetime. I blame serious exhaustion.
I fell asleep on the sofa today, before lunchtime, for an entire 13 minutes. I know some of you are thinking, 'I wish I could have a quick nap in the middle of the day' but wait. I have been known to knock out when I am not supposed to. I have done in lectures, even the postgraduate ones that were being paid for by the workplace at the risk of it being fed back to my employers, but I blame Saturday lectures for that. I have fallen asleep in meetings at work, especially the ones about the IT infrastructure, even when it concerned my pricing policies, but I blame the dimly lit rooms for that. I have fallen asleep in the toilets at work (I closed the lid first) and have been late for meetings. Not much that I can blame for that one. It goes without saying that I have fallen asleep on the trains but surprisingly I have never missed my station.
But none of these badly-timed snoozing incidences have caused the chaos that 13 minutes in front of the telly, in my own living room caused today.
In the 13 minutes (with cartoons on the TV) my Tasmanian devil drew one the wall next to the bay window, tore up my recipe notes, emptied an entire kitchen cupboard onto the floor, filled up the tall kitchen bin with items that it certainly did not want to eat, unraveled two toilet rolls onto the cloakroom floor and every single toy car that my boy owns was strewn around the living room floor.
Stay awake. Stay awake. Stay awake. Stay awake.
Coconut is refreshing and quenching and smells so lifting and holiday like. I need a holiday, wonder if that will happen this lifetime? Coriander, green and renewing and with the jalapeno, it is so balanced. The fleshy figs are gentle and some say they are an aphrodisiac but clearly the mess-clearing isn't, see…balance. If there is ever a 'wake-up' dish, it's this one.
Ingredients to serve 2
A can of coconut milk
30g coriander, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp. chopped jalapeno peppers
1 tsp. galangal puree
2 figs, sliced
About 200g Halloumi, cut into 8 slices
- Blitz the coriander and jalapenos together and mix the puree with the coconut milk and the galangal
- Combine the spiced coconut milk with the sliced Halloumi and keep it in the fridge for a couple of hours
- Once marinated, place the Halloumi on a hot non-stick pan with roughly half the coconut milk mixture and cook until the juices have dried and the Halloumi has browned. Then flip the Halloumi over, add the other half of the spiced coconut milk and brown again
- Serve hot with the figs and some of the left over coconut milk paste as a dressing.
I am sharing this recipe with Lavendar and Lovage for the cooking with herbs challenge

Hi. Welcome to my blog, Kyrosmagica.
All About Me.
What can I tell you? Well before we start I'd like to suggest that you might want to pull up a comfy chair, sit back and enjoy my blog, Kyrosmagica, which is all about the magic of writing, my love of books, crystals, laughter, and much, much, more! I'm a wannabe writer who has finished my first middle grade/YA fantasy novel, set in Cambridge, UK. I'm currently in the process of final edits… In the meantime, to keep me occupied, and out of mischief, I'm writing a second novel, and blogging, of course, writing book reviews here, and on Goodreads, and Amazon, and in fact anywhere else that will have me! Being an open minded type of gal, I like to review a wide a range of genres as possible, including YA, Contemporary, Romance, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Asian Literature, Detective, LBGTQ, and from time to time when I'm feeling brave I read dark thriller, or perhaps a horror story..
I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a six foot hunk of a husband, who I met at the tender age of eighteen, who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Considering how long we've been together I could call him my swan, but I think black sheep kind of suits him, a charming black sheep! His title Black Sheep originated from a family joke, which you can read about in my post Mother in Laws and Black Sheep! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, art, photography and humour, I hope to keep you entertained.
My blog is now award free. After blogging for nearly two years I have now made the decision to go award free. The awards were fun and a great way to connect with other bloggers in the early stages. But now writing has taken over and sadly I no longer have the time to dedicate to awards, so I do hope you won't mind if I take a splash off my award surf board.
Just recently I've started getting much more involved with all sorts of blogging challenges, here's a brief guide to the ones that I like to join in from time to time:

― Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~Anton Chekhov

Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.

I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.
