140 acre reservior, no gasoline powered motors, 3.2 mile Cecil L. Gorley naturalist trail, primitive camping
Located in the geographical center of Kentucky, Fagan Branch Reservoir in Lebanon Kentucky is a popular lake for anglers and nature lovers both. With a surface of 140 acres, it is small enough to cover the lake thoroughly in a single outing. There are no gas powered motors allowed, but electric motors are welcome as well as canoes and other self propelled water craft. The fishing outlook is good at Fagan Branch for a number of the most popular sport fish species. Also, trout fishermen will be excited to learn that the reservoir has recently been receiving stockings of rainbow trout. The 3 mile Cecil L. Gorley Naturalist Trail surrounds the lake. The trail offers numerous views of the lake as well as a chance to view unique species of wildlife including a mature bald eagle. Located less than a mile from another popular fishing destination, Marion Sportsman Lake, Fagan Branch Reservoir is a great place located right in the heart of Kentucky.

Viveca's "Warm & Spicy" Kitchen
Room for Color Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Viveca
- Location:
- Saint Louis, MO
- Division:
- Warm
- Inspiration for my palette:
- My first "grown up" dishes were chartreuse Fiesta Ware. 10+ years later I still love them, but a whole kitchen that color would be a bit much (even for me). Besides, I wanted a warm kitchen/dining area and went with a rich paprika. I love how the unexpected wall color contrasts with the green accents; in addition to the dishes is an apple green mixer and our oven (which we had custom painted by an auto body shop!)
- Colors used in my room
- Paprika, chartreuse, greys and natural woods
- Tips for using color successfully
- I just don't think you can go wrong if you start with something you really love. That way, even if it's not everybody's taste, you'll be happy with the results. After all, it's your place so if you love it that's all that matters!

Room for Color 2012

You might think I'm being overly dramatic, but this is the most wonderful room I've ever seen. No lie, I got goosebumps at picture two.
The pallette is very similar to my kitchen, and after 3 years it hasn't gotten old. Every day I love it more. Nice work, Viveca!
Love it. Color me jealous.
I don't believe in formal dinning rooms, and this kitchen has pushed all of my buttons. Nicely done!!
Way to be bold! I've always loved orange and green together, and I dream of someday having a kitchen/dining layout like this.
Do you have plans for the wall space above the counter? Because I bet some oversized artwork or some kind of funky paint treatment would be amazing there.
Well done!
Oh, I'm dying over here. Those tall ceilings, brick wall, huge dining table, and the colors! Makes me hate my builder grade condo galley kitchen more and more.
The brick wall + The wood ceiling and cabinetry+ the apple green oven=perfection.
I am sort of at a loss with how much I love this kitchen space. It is so elegant and chic as hell, yet inviting... so industrial and raw, yet so refined. Je love.
Gorgeous! Where is your place? Is it one of the lofts down on Washington?
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. It's just so perfectly balanced with the right amount of each color to work with the large space. I love the use of wood tones and the darker wall color to make it feel cozy, and the pops of green are genius.
Total WIN. Aw, now I'm all jealous of your taste and skill. That's ok, I'll look at it some more and that'll put me back in a good mood!
I love this kitchen--well done! Any plans for an oversized art piece on the brick wall?
My opinion of this is tainted by my own experience as a designer. I can't get past the feeling that if you swapped the cat out for a French Bulldog, you'd be looking at the Kozmo.com employee lunch room circa 1999.
AT please, please, PLEASE do a house tour of this place. If just the one room looks this awesome, I can't even imagine how amazing the rest looks!!
I really detest orange, but somehow, this is my favorite entry so far! What an inviting space. Vey jealous.
This is one of those rooms you can really appreciate even though it's not to your taste.
How on earth do people find places like this to live in? Gosh! It is spectacular. I want to have my morning coffee in that room. I want to see the kids do their homework at that table... it is just gorgeous.
I just keep coming back to look at it.
love, love, love!
Mid-C Frank approves.
Thanks for the great comments!
@ellenchristine: we're in the ONSL neighborhood of St Louis
As for the brick wall; I'm on the fence about hanging a clock, some kind of wall art or a hood vent over the stove.
Has a strong character and retro vibe. I loved it. Still, I think, lighting-wise the room is pretty dull. The general lighting waay up on the ceiling flattens and kills the space. Some low-hanging ceiling lamps and controlled spot lighting would bring out the elements better.
LOOOOOOVE the painted oven! I dislike almost all appliances these days - so dull, and just cheap white or higher end stainless as options. Nice to see some color!
The rest of the room is great, too, but the painted oven will be in my dreams.
Viveca, your taste is impeccable but it's hard for me to imagine this space could/would be improved by something on the brick wall. Somehow, that unadorned space feels like a very important part of the whole picture.
I'm with whoever said, above, they just keep coming back to look at this! It's just spectacular!
Hey, do you mind if I ask about how much it costs to have appliances painted by auto guys?
Not to be unkind, and to each his own...but this reminds me of a large employee's lunch room.
I seem to recall it was around $200 to have the oven painted, but that included having the paint custom mixed to match our Kitchenaid mixer. They said it would be less if we went with a color they had left over from painting a car. I hope that helps :-)

So tonight was the night Kim Zolciak gave her last excuse and made a dramatic exit from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. We knew it was coming, so really the only thing shocking about it was how long it took her to do it ... and what a bad liar she is.
It's been clear for some time that she's totally over the show and the other ladies on it. And whether she was fired, as NeNe Leakes claims, or quit of her own accord because of all of the drama, it's really best this way. Back in the day, Kim was a crazy hoot who made for great TV, and I would have been sad to see her go. But for the last couple of seasons she's been making babies and excuses, getting married, saying "f*ck" as many times as humanly possible, and she really doesn't have time for the drama that is Real Housewives. So I say good riddance.
Her exit, however, was anything but graceful. Instead it was a big, loud, crazy kind of affair. Of course, we wouldn't have expected anything less.
It all went down when they met for lunch to talk about the upcoming couples' trip to Anguilla. It was shocking that Kim showed up at all, given her track record, but the group had scheduled the trip around her, so it was the least she could do.
But from the moment she sat down, she started backtracking, sidestepping, bending the truth, and just baffling everyone with her math as to how many weeks and months she was pregnant. Somehow the conversation went from yes, I'm going to ... well, as long as my doctor says it's okay, to hell no, there's no way I can go out of the country and I've already planned a vacation with Kroy for the same time.
It was crazy to watch someone spin that many tales simultaneously. When the other ladies started pushing back, telling her that they'd all changed their schedules because she picked these dates, she got all defensive. When Phaedra Parks flat out told her that it seems like since getting married she doesn't seem to have time for her girlfriends anymore, Kim concurred. "You know what, I really don't. My priorities have changed," she said.
And with that, she and her wig and belly were up and out the door. "All these bitches are f*cking crazy!" she told the camera.
I don't blame her at all for not wanting to travel when pregnant, but she shouldn't have let them plan an entire trip around her. And yes, sometimes things change during a pregnancy, but the way she approached it all was just so shady and dismissive, and on top of all the other excuses she's made, I don't blame the other ladies for being pissed. She clearly doesn't want to be friends with them, and she's been demonstrating that for some time now. This just sealed the deal.
And it's really for the best for everyone. Kim has had her run, made her name, and has other prospects on the horizon. She hasn't added anything to the show in quite some time, and she just seems over it. So out with the old, in with the crazy new like Kenya Moore, who is pissing off the ladies one by one, and Porsha Stewart who thinks there are 265 days in a year. There will certainly be no short of drama without Kim, and I'm sure we'll see evidence of that that in Anguilla. I wonder if anyone will send Kim a postcard?
Are you glad to see Kim Zolciak leaving Real Housewives of Atlanta? What did you think of her exit?
Image via Bravo
Please let us know where she will be so we can make sure we don't watch her.
Well, what do you know? This "low down monkey with a wig on" is finally gone. Now Kandi won't have anyone to fight with!
please get nene off the show. she looks like amazon woman big teeth and all.
I think the ladies should have confirmed the trip with Kim first before making plans AROUND Kim's Schedule knowing she was pregnant and as far as due dates didn't they all go after Phaedra when she couldn't get her dates straight. This RHOA is getting old and there's only one real house wife now so Bravo should think of Changing the name to Not Real housewives of Atlanta
i like kim. shes real. i hope they have a show just for her. i would watch it. nene needs to go jump off a bridge or something she is so annoying and jealous of kim.
I'm glad she left. Honestly, I think she was just hanging around for the money. They shoulda gave her the boot when they fired Sheree. Kim doesn't even participate w/ the rest of the girls. (And for good reason.) I think she just wants to be at home w/ her kids at this point.
I can't wait for Porsha & Kenya to go. THEY SUCK!!!!

Braves starter Tim Hudson says he's willing to give the team a 'hometown discount' and that "I've said all along that Atlanta was the place I want to be" but the veteran righty also says "I just hope when we start talking, my idea of a hometown discount and their idea of a hometown discount isn't 5 or 8 million [dollars] apart."
YOU TELL US: If Hudson and the Braves can agree on a 'hometown discount' that's suitable to both parties, would you be happy with the 34-year-old, who boasts a career 148-78 record, staying here? Or, while the hometown discount offer is nice, is it time for the Braves to move on and get younger?
October 15th, 2009
1:13 pm
Move on and get younger. Who knows if his arm is going to stay healthy and since he's been here he hasn't been the lights out pitcher he was for the A's!
October 15th, 2009
1:14 pm
do it huddy is the man and showed he can come back from the toughest surgery a pitcher can go through. 9 mil a year for 3 years will give us good control over him and if his stuff goes to hell hes not that expensive so i wont hurt much
October 15th, 2009
1:15 pm
Keep him. He will be stronger and better next year. 34 is not old in baseball any more. If you want to get rid of someone, might I suggest Lowe or Kawakami. And of course, Greg Norton.
October 15th, 2009
1:16 pm
bring hudson back if he goes for 10 a year. 10 a year for 3 plus some kind of stupid 4th year option. He'll sign. It's sad to say but that's a bargain.
oh & well I'll be damned
October 15th, 2009
1:17 pm
i guess it was 4th
October 15th, 2009
1:21 pm
Drop Lowe & KK. Keep Hudson & Vasquez!
October 15th, 2009
1:26 pm
3 year deal around the same as Kawakami, between 5-7 mil a year, if that doesnt work let him go, we have more pressing needs right now… 1st base, Outfield, Bullpen. i just dont see how resigning Hudson leaves us a good amoutn of room to resign Rochy and add a outfielder and figure the bullpen out. think about it this way , if Huddy does resign look for one of the startes to be dealt.
Vasquez or Kawakami possibly Lowe one of them would be dealt. If there is a pitcher this team needs to lock up for a few more years its Javy, give him a 2 yr extension at 12 mil a year, let Hudson walk, we still have a full rotation with Medlen and JoJo as fill in candidates if someone goes down. Kawakami dad a great job considering it was his 1st season in the majors and the first time he's work in a five man rotation compared to the 6 man in japan. KK we should keep. Lowe will be hard to trade, maybe not even worth trading him considering we would have to eat alot of contract, but its Derek Lowe the guy can pitch his A$$ off and win games, he just had a off year, but still won games. Bottom Line This team needs another right handed hitter to bat cleanup behind Chipper.
October 15th, 2009
1:26 pm
I think you gotta keep Huddy and you've got to find a way to move one of the other high priced starters, take that money and roll it over into two moderately priced hitters (LaRoche being the first and a respectable bat in left). I'm thinking (wishful thinking?) you can keep Hudson for 8-10Mil per, and i could be far off here, but with the fall in revenue being a good arguing point for the clubs and him coming off of rehab I could easily see this being in the Braves favor going in. The problem is moving one of the two higher priced starters off the roster. I think Lowe and Kawakami are your target guys to move, and out of the two i'd personally prefer to keep the Chunichi Dragon and move Lowe. I think KK only gets better, where Lowe is the drastically more expensive one, and also was only a luke warm pitcher for us. KK is two years younger as well, and he was pitching really well after the all star break.
October 15th, 2009
1:37 pm
Hudson's just posturing, to try and improve his negotiating stance with Frank Wren. Make no mistake, professional athletes and the agents that represent them, play ball for the money. Remember John Smoltz and Tom Glavine. Let's use the money we save by passing on Hudson's option to secure a right-handed power hitter for left field, or a reliable closer.
October 15th, 2009
1:43 pm
i would only let hudson walk if we cant trade lowe or kawakami…if we cant there is not way you can bring back hudson..kawakami would be making 7 million from the pen..we need to get a slugger not doubt about it…also gonzo or soriono must come back..we need one of them..
October 15th, 2009
1:46 pm
Keep Huddy. We've got a shot of having four 15-20 win starters next year with Hudson, Lowe, Vasquez, and Hanson if we get a big RH bat. I would trade KK for whatever we can get for him. It would at least dump some salary and we could may be get a good reliever or two for him . Make Medlen the 5th starter and go for a big RH bat with the salary savings.
October 15th, 2009
1:51 pm
WHAT ABOUT JAIR JURRJENS mark biles?
October 15th, 2009
1:55 pm
They should try and resign Gonzo to be the closer, 2 yr deal between 4-6 mil a year.
Let Huddy go use the money else where. Closer, LaRoche Unless another starter is traded for a Power Bat!
Most likely will be a trade of some sort to add a right handed power bat, considering we wont be seeing Bay or Holliday in a Atlanta Uni. By not resigning Huddy we wouldnt have a strong position for a trading piece. Wren gots a job ahead of him this offseason. We need a real cleanup hitter that bats Right and plays Left Field, McLouth in CF and Diaz in RF until Heyward is called up.
CF McLouth
RF Diaz/Heyward
3B Chipper
LF New Guy
C McCann
SS Yunel
1B LaRoche
2B Prado
Diaz should prolly bat 8th when he plays and Prado batting 2nd, Heyward should bat 2nd in front of Chipper to see good pitches. Is McLouth our best option at Leadoff??
October 15th, 2009
2:00 pm
Trading Jurrjens wouldnt be a bad idea (listen dont bash me yet)
Jurrjen's value is so high he could land a RH power hitter and maybe a couple prospects.
Pitching will be low in free agency and teams would be lining up offers for Jair, we do have control of the young ace for like 3 more years but he is a BORIS Client and most likley will leave ATL.
Something like, Jurrjens for N.Cruz and Holland from the Rangers there are plenty of other teams that could make a trade work.
October 15th, 2009
2:06 pm
What dummies, we was saying Hudson has got to go. We need more starters like Kawakami.
October 15th, 2009
2:16 pm
As long as the terms work within the budget – I think we've gotta keep Hudson. You can never have too much pitching.
I agree that KK is going to get better. I (personally) think the guy is a winner….the better his mound opponent the better he pitched.
Unless the offer is Pujols – JJ isn't going anywhere….he's an ACE!
October 15th, 2009
2:20 pm
Hudson is worth at least $10M on the market based on what we saw down the stretch. He will have a whole winter to get his arm stronger and should be a Co-Co-Co Ace with Vazquez, Hanson and Jurrjens. Lowe is the guy you want to move, even if you have to eat some salary or get marginal prospects back to do it. Nothing against Lowe – who eats innings and gets wins – but Hudson is a better pitcher than Lowe right now and will be better than Lowe in three years when both or their presumed contracts will be up.
October 15th, 2009
2:21 pm
Bottom line……..Move Kawakami and/or Lowe any day of the week before Huddy and please extend Vasquez's contract. VaBraveFan you're nuts trading Jurrjens and Gonzo is not a post season pitcher.
October 15th, 2009
2:25 pm
Let him walk with thanks and gratitude, and invest the money on acquiring batting power and speed on the free-agent market or as salary for a player on trade. Pitching was not what held this ballclub back this year; put this year's starting rotation into play next year with improved offense, and you're talking about a playoff team. No one else in the starting rotation you'd consider unloading has trade potential (either paid too much, not a 1-3 starter candidate, or you'd be crazy to let them go).
October 15th, 2009
2:26 pm
I agree somewhat w/ VA Braves fan. With Boras we lose him (JJ) and get only 2 draft picks. Now since we have lost Roy Clark….It might make sense. Atlanta is a mid market team and always will be. It would have to be a stellar offer and a hitter & top, top prospects…NOW on the flip side we could offer him a great offer after this year…depending on his record of course and lock him up….very interesting…OF course trading slow/lowe and KK would be super ideal. Lowe is going to be a hard trade because of his huge contract and we would have to eat some of it or give up a top prospect…we will see…
October 15th, 2009
2:29 pm
I dont care if they sign Huddy. JUST GET A POWER HITTER! PLEASE!!
October 15th, 2009
2:37 pm
Keep Tim Hudson But try to trade Kenshin Kawakami. I don't think they are going to be able to trade Derek Lowe cause of his contract no team in their right mind would take on that contract.
The Braves Starting Rotation should look like this.
Javier Vasquez
Jair Jurrjens
Tommy Hanson
Tim Hudson
Derek Lowe
October 15th, 2009
2:38 pm
If it's between Hudson and Javier Vasquez, keep Vasquez. If they can trade Lowe, trade him and keep Hudson and Vasquez. They have to keep Vasquez.
October 15th, 2009
2:44 pm
WOuld love to have Huddy. Problem is any money spent on him, whether its a discount or not is money that could be spent to bolster the lineup. If they can get rid of Lowe and/or Kawakami then obviously that would free up a lot. Not sure how feasable that is.
October 15th, 2009
2:49 pm
Are you kidding? Of course keep him. The guy is an Ace. No single bat they could pickup in free agency is of his value. They need him AND they need a leadoff batter with speed and they need a clean up hitter… that is if they hope to compete next year. If not. Just keep plodding along with nothing and enjoy seeing empty seats.
October 15th, 2009
2:50 pm
Vabravesfan- why not keep JJ 2 more years and then do something along the lines of what was done with Texiera? A team making a playoff push would welcome a trade for him, most likely. With any run support JJ would have a Cy Young award and at least one 20 win season, maybe 18. You can't start dumping your best players because you doubt you'll be able to resign them in 3-4 years. Using that mentality you would always be planning for the future. Sooner or later the future has to be now.
October 15th, 2009
2:51 pm
Same thing is/was discussed on the DOB blog. Just thought you'd like to know.
No need to repeat myself here…but good discussion on this topic took place on the DOB blog yesterday.
October 15th, 2009
2:51 pm
I disagree with VA Brave. It's not just that Jurrjens is under team control. It is also that he is remarkably cheap, and we are going to need cheap starters for the foreseeable future if we are going to spend whatever money we have on offense. If we need to trade him, at least wait until he is arbitration eligible. He and Javy were our best pitchers this year. And he makes less than $500,000. You don't trade that guy. We cannot afford to spend money on a bat and trade J.J. We have to get rid of some salary if we are going to gain a bat. That means Lowe, Vazquez or Kawakami (preferably Lowe). It's our only option.
October 15th, 2009
2:51 pm
Is Holliday up for FA? How long did the Cards get him for? He would like nice in the heart of the lineup with Chipper/McCann/Holliday
October 15th, 2009
2:52 pm
I know its not the popular idea, but Chipper should retire. He has a yearly breakdown and can't carry the team anymore. He is expensive. The Braves need to decide if their in a rebuild or win now mode. If win now, sign Hudson, if not pass and trade Lowe(bad signing) also. I know this is not the popular route, but I would go younger and build from the farm and smart trades.
October 15th, 2009
2:53 pm
Pinky- you're smarter than most on here.
October 15th, 2009
2:56 pm
Yeah Chipper is kinda old and feeble to be collecting that kind of money and hitting 3rd. 5th maybe, but not 3rd. I'm thinking they signed him to make up for the PR nightmare that happened due to the Smoltz debacle.
October 15th, 2009
3:06 pm
Dumb question. He's 70 games over .500. He's got several productive years left. He's a good leader and capable pitcher. If you both side can be happy on money, why wouldn't you sign him? Is "getting younger" for its own sake a sound strategy for building a winning team? Again, stupid question.
October 15th, 2009
3:11 pm
Does nobody here understand how pathetic it is that we are actually having this conversation? Back when Ted Turner actually owned the team, the answer to this would have been a resounding "Yes" to bringing back Hudson and they would have found some way to use KK and Lowe or trade them. Now it's a bunch of whining about how "If we sign Hudson, we'll have to trade Vazquez or KK or Lowe to save money". This is a big part of the reason as to why there have been zero World Series championships since Ted Turner was the true owner and why the team hasn't been back to the World Series in 10 years.
October 15th, 2009
3:12 pm
question is: What is a hometown discount?
October 15th, 2009
3:13 pm
Trading Jurrjens would be like trading a young Smoltz. You'd have to get one heck of a lot do make that move. I mean more than we gave Texas for Texeira.
October 15th, 2009
3:13 pm
I'd like to keep Hudson and trade Lowe for a power hitting, right handed outfielder if at possible. And throw Manny Acosta in with Lowe to "sweeten" the deal for the outfielder.
October 15th, 2009
3:14 pm
They need to go to my Pay by Performance Theory. Here it is: The player gets a base salary topping of at a million dollars for the top players. Then you put in performance incentives by each player and their position. A starting pitcher for example would have wins, innings pitched, and appearences in games to name a few. These incentives would be very generous. This way if a pitcher goes down in the first month of the season the team doesn't get stuck paying a huge sum for the player sitting on the bench. He gets his base salary which will be plenty to live on. Besides the average American family has a yearly income of 45,000 so the hurt pitcher getting paid a million dollars or four hundred thousand dollars is more than enough to live on. This system would help the fans too. The concession prices would go down as well as ticket prices.
October 15th, 2009
3:14 pm
October 15th, 2009
3:16 pm
A hometown discount means the player likes where he is and will take less money to stay. In Hudson's case, he grew up not too far away, too.
How long before Liberty Media can sell the team and collect all the tax breaks it bought the team for in the first place?
October 15th, 2009
3:16 pm
The main problem with signing and resigning these 30 something year old players over and over is that we are just a middle of the pack team and if we did make the playoffs, it would be 3 and out. Bite the bullet and puts some younger players with McCann and Prado and go from there.
October 15th, 2009
3:17 pm
You must not bring Hudson back. You have to also try and trade Lowe. That gives us 4 good starters: J.J., Vaz, Hanson, K.K. ( not a bad rotation ) You then must resign Roachy. Infield = Roachy, Prado, Escobar, Chipper ( not a bad infield ) Outfield = Nate, Jason, Matty and whoever we get in trade/free agent market. Bullpen needs updating as Soriano and Gonzo leave. Maybe an addition here by trade. K.J., Norton must leave. **unpopular but trade "Chipper" while we can get multiple prospects now and not wait a couple of years when he will be useless.
October 15th, 2009
3:21 pm
Not if it costs us Vazquez.
October 15th, 2009
3:22 pm
One word: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 15th, 2009
3:29 pm
Yes, we should sign Hudson for the following reasons
1) You can never have enough starting pitching
2) Everyone is always looking for pitching, so having this surplus will help the Braves either this year or the next. They will have the ability to potentially trade a pitcher to either help the team now or get younger.
October 15th, 2009
3:35 pm
sign him to a one year with an option for a second. Put in some performance incentives. we need a solid foundation on staff.
October 15th, 2009
3:36 pm
If Hudson could be signed for $8 million or so, then I would sign him and trade Vasquez for a big bat and maybe some bullpen help. I would then move KK to the bullpen. If Gonzo and Soriano both leave, then Moylan could be the closer and KK could be the 7th or 8th inning guy.
Possible rotation:
Campillo ???
Possible Bullpen:
Moylan (closer if Gonzo and Soriano both leave)
Acosta ????
Parr ????
Carlyle ???
Logan ???
Yep, bullpen is going to need some work.
October 15th, 2009
3:39 pm
he's headed to boston without a doubt.
October 15th, 2009
3:44 pm
The decision to keep Hudson will be a difficult one because of uncertainty, money, and other glaring needs. Also, the Braves (if they choose not to offer) would weaken their position of strength (pitching). I believe that Huddy would be a better fit long term than say Lowe, but the Braves are stuck with Lowe's contract. Kawakami is intriguing, he certainly got better as the year progressed and it's not easy going from the Japan to the majors (especially the strike zone and learning hitters). It will probably come down to numbers, can they fit Hudson's salary with their projected payroll.
If it were up to me, I would test the market with Tim's agent, see if you can get "a hometown discount" and re sign him to a three to four year deal (on the cheap). This would prove to be a huge asset for the Braves, who in turn could keep or package him in a deal for a much needed bat.

And the Beat Goes on: Celebrate World Heart Day
Celebrate World Heart Day on September 29
September 29, 2013, will mark the 14th observance of World Heart Day. Each year, the World Heart Federation sponsors this event to raise awareness that cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, is the world's leading cause of death. The observance takes place on the last Sunday in September every year.
Of the nearly 800,000 Americans who die of cardiovascular disease each year, three-quarters of them die of heart disease.1 The most common type of heart disease in the United States is coronary artery disease, which occurs when plaque builds up on the walls of the arteries carrying blood to the heart. Coronary artery disease can lead to heart attack, angina (chest pain), heart failure, and potentially dangerous changes in your heart rate or rhythm, called arrhythmia.
A stroke occurs when a clot blocks the blood supply to part of the brain or when a blood vessel in or around the brain bursts, causing parts of the brain to become damaged or die. Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, killing nearly 130,000 Americans each year.1
A Lifetime of Heart Health
For World Heart Day 2013, the World Heart Federation is focusing on heart health across the lifespan, beginning before birth and continuing throughout life. Many early deaths caused by heart disease and stroke are preventable, according to the World Heart Federation and the latest report from CDC Vital Signs. That's why you should start heart-healthy habits as early as possible and continue them throughout your life.1
World Heart Day 2013 also focuses, as it did in 2012, on women and children. Many people still do not associate cardiovascular disease with these two groups, but cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of US women, and congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect in the United States, affecting nearly 40,000 infants each year. In developing countries, rheumatic heart disease is the leading heart problem among children and adolescents. Learn more at CDC's Congenital Heart Disease Web site.
Getting the Facts
In the United States in 2009, heart disease and stroke were the first and fourth leading killers.1 But cardiovascular disease does not affect all groups of people in the same way. For example, black men are almost twice as likely as white women to die of cardiovascular disease. Many think heart disease occurs in older people, but many of these deaths happen well before people reach the age of 75.
Did You Know?
- Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer of women and men in the United States.
- Most cardiovascular disease is preventable through healthy habits and lifestyle.
There are a number of risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease, but you can control many of them. Examples of risks that you can control include the following:
- Unhealthy diet.
- Physical inactivity.
- Tobacco use.
- Overweight or obesity.
- High blood pressure.
- High cholesterol.
- Diabetes.
Having a close relative who has heart disease also puts you at higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
Make Healthy Your Habit
Although risk factors for cardiovascular disease are becoming more common in the United States, the good news is that you can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease by making healthy lifestyle choices. Some steps that you can take to lower your risk include the following:
- Visit your doctor. Get a checkup at least once each year. Your doctor can check for conditions that are risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
- Eat a healthy diet that is low in sodium, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol and high in fresh fruits and vegetables. For more information, visit CDC's Nutrition Web site.
- Get active by taking a brisk 10-minute walk, 3 times a day, 5 days a week. Do more if you can. Remember to incorporate exercise into your day in different ways like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or raking the yard instead of using the leaf blower. Exercising with friends and family can be a great way to stay healthy and have fun. Learn more at CDC's Physical Activity Web site.
- Maintain a healthy weight. What weight is right for you? One way to determine if you are at a healthy weight is to calculate your body mass index (BMI), which is based on your height and weight. For most people, BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness. Learn more at CDC's Healthy Weight Web site.
- Don't smoke. If you do smoke, quit as soon as possible. Ask your doctor for help in making a plan to quit or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669; TTY 800-332-8615). Learn more about quitting at CDC' Smoking and Tobacco Use Web site.
- Moderate alcohol intake. If you choose to drink alcoholic beverages, do not exceed one drink per day for women or two drinks per day for men. Learn more at CDC's Alcohol and Public Health Web site.
- Join Million Hearts®! Million Hearts® is a national initiative to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017. Learn how to live a heart-healthy life at the Million Hearts Web site.
Most heart disease is preventable. On this World Heart Day, take steps today to protect your own heart and share these healthy habits with your family and friends to protect their hearts too.

Well hello. Long time no write. How's the family? OK, pleasantries done. Let's get down to business.
Anyhoo, guess we should discuss baseball. I'm running a bit late today (Took forever to dry my hair. It's hard being a girl). White Sox finally won their first game of the season yesterday, behind Joe Crede's bat and Jon Danks' arm(s).
We've got Jose Contreras, the ageless wonder, on the mound for the Sox today. He was a less than stellar 0-2 with a 9.50 ERA against Detroit last season. So this should be a fun game. But hey, the Royals (yes, those Royals) swept the Tigers in the opening series. So anything is possible.
Lineups here. Miguel Cabrera is back for the Tigers after missing Thursday's game with quadriceps soreness. Or a super heavy wallet. That dude is loaded.
Comments below or email me at email@example.com.
Baseball shortly.
Looks cold in Detroit as Nick Swisher leads things off against Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson. Ball one. It's 41 in Detroit, with a chance of rain. Peachy. Swisher chases strike two, and it's now a 3-2 count. And he whiffs on strike three as well. One gone. Orlando Cabrera, who according to Hawk has faced Robertson nine times and has six hits, stands in there. He runs the count to 3-2 too...fouls off the next pitch...and then he too strikes out. Jim Thome gets ahold of a Robertson offering, and he has himself a stand-up double with two outs. No boos for Thome in Detroit; I'm sure they are saving 'em for A.J. Here's Konerko. Paulie takes the 2-2 pitch deep to right field, but Magglio Ordonez is there to make the catch. Yuck, Maggs still hasn't cut his hair.
No score.
How is it baseball season already? See, even the birds are confused. Clete Thomas leads off for the Tigers. Seriously? I have never heard of this dude. He looks about 15. Clete (seriously?) has himself a lead-off single. Oh, that Clete Thomas. He played for the Erie SeaWolves last season. I'm all squared away now. Here's Placido Polanco. Polanco hits it to Juan Uribe at second, but he misfires the throw to second...and everyone is safe. And that's an error on Uribe, who I'm told plays second base now? Gah, I really should start paying attention to this baseball thing. Here's Carlos Guillen. Full count to Guillen, and Contreras walks him. Bases loaded, no outs for Ordonez. Sigh. Ordonez hits a grounder to second on the first pitch and Uribe converts the double play. But Clete scores from third, Tigers 1-0. Polanco moves to third. Miguel Cabrera is up. Runs the count to 3-2 before fouling off a few more. And then Contreras walks him. That's 22 pitches thus far for Jose. Not good. Here's Edgar Renteria. Former St. Louis Cardinal right? Renteria strikes out on four pitches (one foul ball). Well done.
Tigers 1-0.
Oh joy. Tyler Hansbrough was named AP college basketball player of the year. You know, he does everything way harder and way better than everyone. Everything. He bugs me. Jermaine Dye leads things off this inning. Swings at the first pitch, right back to the pitcher, Robertson makes an ugly throw to first for the out. Very low throw, nice pickup by the first baseman. One gone. Here's AJ. He smacks it throw the hole at second for a stand-up double. Carlos Quentin smacks the first pitch he sees for a homer over the left field wall. White Sox 2-1. Guess Ozzie was right about his team against lefty pitchers. That's why he gets paid the big bucks. Here's Joe Crede. Tall socks for him. And a strikeout for him; he whiffs at a fastball. Two outs. Juan Uribe is up. And oh my, he doesn't swing at the first pitch. He swings at the second pitch though, and grounds out to SS.
White Sox 2-1.
No San Antonio for Amanda. Couldn't get the time off work. Besides, I'd rather cubicle with you folks. OK, that's a lie. Ivan "Don't call me Pudge, I've lost weight" Rodriguez is first up. 0-2 count, then one ball. He hits the next pitch to the fence in LF for a double. It was "a cookie," according to Hawk. Sure. Here's Jacque Jones. When did the Tigers get him? Wasn't he just on that Northside team? I am so confused. Adam tells me it happened in the offseason. Thanks. 0-2 count for him, then he strikes out. One out. Brandon Inge. 0-2 count for him (I see a pattern!) and then he chops it to SS for the second out. Clete Thomas strikes again, as he singles up the middle to score Rodriguez from third. Tied 2-2. Polanco stands in there. Thomas steals second on the 2-2 pitch, throw is just a bit late. CLETE (shakes fist in the air)! Polanco then grounds it to Cabrera at shortstop, nice throw for the third out.
Tied 2-2.

Artist Sharon Sprung Painting Workshop
Presented in partnership with PAULA RIGGS and PAULINE AMODIO
A Brooklyn, New York native, where she lives and works, Sharon Sprung is a painter celebrating the visual world. She teaches Contemporary Realist Figure and Portrait Painting in oil from the model, emphasizing the importance of drawing and an understanding of anatomy, movement, psychological force, light and shape, rich paint application, color and the use of correct value relationships. She aids students as they balance these elements in order to create an expressive work that has strength and presence.
Capturing a likeness - the essence of learning to paint a portrait - requires the mastering of three basic skills. The first involves gaining a sophisticated understanding of the anatomy of a particular skull. The second entails mastering the exact placement of all the features and their precise relationship to one another. And the third is how to recreate the specific shapes of the shadow patterns that go with the lighting of the figure in question.
Sprung will attempt to convey an understanding of how to carry creating a likeness further, and how to get it closer to a breathing, vibrant and fleshy, multidimensional sense of who the model is. In addition, to take the portrait even further, the artist needs to see and begin to grasp the subtleties and depths of color and value relationships. To that end, she will explore these sensitivities and the mysteries of color and value that make flesh colors come alive.
There will be a special focus on personal critique for the individual student. Lectures and demonstrations will stress the specific fundamentals of painting, illustrated by works of significant artists, both past and present. To view Sprung's work, please visit www.sharonsprung.com.

For more than a decade, the Farm Journal Test Plots has varied corn populations and nitrogen rates to respond to natural management zones in the field. In 2012, the crew added variable-rate irrigation to its site-specific farming portfolio.
In partnership with Valmont Industries, Inc., who provided the system, software and supporting in-field technologies, the Valley Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system was installed on a pivot owned by farmer Dan Meeker in Mason County, Ill., for a multi-year test plot. In addition to an upgraded control panel, valves were installed at each sprinkler head.
"This has been a customer-driven product," says Jake LaRue, director of research and development for Valley Irrigation. "Farmers are already using and realize the benefits of variable-rate planting, fertilizer application and spraying."
The chosen 80-acre field has two sandhills that have shown noticeable decreases in yield every year.
"Our goal was to increase the water enough on the sandhills to bring those areas up to the production levels of the rest of the field," explains Isaac Ferrie, who oversaw this Farm Journal Test Plot.
The pivot used in our testing was outfitted for Zone Control, which allows for prescriptions to vary by management zone in addition to sector. The crew divided the pivot into six control sections.
"Since this was our first full year with the technology, we wanted to understand how the soils respond to irrigation. For example, what impact would applying ½" of water have on soil moisture levels?" Ferrie explains. "For the first half of the growing season, we applied a uniform rate; then, starting in July, we used the VRI technology in two of the six control sections."
In the field, Irrometer soil moisture sensors were placed at three depths—6", 18" and 24"—in a representative zone for each of the four main soil types. These sensors are networked to a modem in the field that wirelessly transmits the data to the test plot crew.
A series of thermal images from Aerial Crop Reconnaissance Experts as well as NDVI maps provided by GeoVantage provided another way to monitor how the crop responded to irrigation.
"The thermal images show us crop temperature and the NDVI maps are a measure of crop biomass," Ferrie says. "We found that cooler crop temperatures and higher biomass levels correlated to higher yields."
Just enough water. The thermal images were used by Ferrie to make changes in the prescription maps from month to month. For this first year of collecting data, the frequency of the water was programmed on the farmer's normal watering practices, and the test plot crew created the prescription rate maps.

What's For Lunch Today?
What's for lunch today? Are you brown-bagging it? Going out to eat with colleagues? Eating a bagel at your desk? Here's one of our recent lunches...
...Water, salt-free tortilla chips, leftover beet and cabbage coleslaw (even better two days on), and Indian lentils from Trader Joe's. Those lentils were cheap, easy, fast, and good. We scooped them up with the tortilla chips - very yummy.
What's for lunch today and this week? Are you cooking your lunches more often these days?

I bring my lunch to work every day, it helps a lot with keeping my food budget reasonable living in NYC. Today it was some leftover spinach pie. The phyllo gets a bit soggy in the microwave, but it still tastes great! The rest of the week it will be quinoa with the braised celery that was suggested in an earlier post...need to get rid of the celery lurking in my vegetable drawer.
I made enchiladas for last night's dinner and today's lunch. Almost all the ingredients, I bought at the 99 Cents Only Store!
Funny you should ask... I'm actually eating this squash-couscous salad from your site! I made it this weekend to eat for lunch this week. I used pearl couscous; next time I think I'd use scallions or finely diced red onion instead of cooked white onion as was in the recipe. Very yummy!
Mandu box (Korean dumplings) from the cart outside my building. Left-overs for dinner last night left no left-overs for lunch today.
I'm making a butternut squash & coconut curry (from this recipe: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/indian/recipe-butternut-squash-coconut-curry-015729) with brown rice & ... can you sautee arugula? I grabbed some at the farmer's market Saturday (thinking, 'hey! it's green & leafy! it must be good!) ... I'll find out!
Those lentils look really good. Did they come prepared from Trader Joe's or do you have a recipe to share?
I work in an office building on the outskirts of town on a state park. There aren't many places that we can go to lunch quickly, so I nearly always bring left-overs. I have salmon and green beans today. Life is good!
I made some homemade wheat rolls this weekend, so I used one of them to make a basic ham sandwich. That with some cantaloupe and baby carrots is my lunch today!
I brown bag it every day--always leftovers. Today, it's leftover pizza from a little pizza party I threw on Sunday--one slice of fig, basil, and provolone, and one slice with sausage, olive, and mushroom.
The lentils were prepared - came in a bag, I'm sorry to say! But they were really yummy; I could see using them as a base for a slightly more fancied up lentil salad or curry.
Butternut squash lasagna with sage and ricotta (with home-made noodles) and an apple.
Green beans stew over rice.
Leftovers: curried cauliflower and chickpeas with basmati rice. Deeelish.
pearled barley soup with root vegetables from How To Cook Everything Vegetarian. I was a little over-zealous with the sage and now the soup is overpowered with it. A good friend sent some Mother's Iced Oatmeal cookies into work with her husband today, so I may default to those after the soup.
today, leftover pesto pasta with potatoes and greenbeans, an apple from apple picking on sunday, a chopped carrot aaaand a dried fruit bar from trader joe's. possibly a funsize snickers from the office candy bowl later :)
i also pretty much always brown bag it because midtown nyc is so expensive for food. 9 times out of 10 it's a turkey sandwich on whole weat with a slice of provolone and peach chutney, along with some tj's pretzel slims and and apple. plus maybe some grapes or baby carrots. but the pesto my aunt made for dinner sunday and was so delicious i had to take some home!
sandwich from home: tomato, havarti cheese, tofurky slices, miracle whip and baby spinach on 7-grain bread. and a handful of jalapeno crunchies from trader joe's.
yesterday was, and tomorrow will be, leftover cauliflower & chickpea curry.
friday i'll treat myself to lunch and a wine at the local pub!
leftovers whenever i have them! today i'm enjoying the remains of last night's Oktoberfest-inspired dinner--sausage with sauteed apples and onions cooked in a combo of beer and apple cider and mashed delicata squash with melted ementhal (inspired by a Kitchn recipe). yay for cleaning out the fridge.
Leftover pasta with kale, home-made oven dried tomatos, and turkey.
4 today we have cheese and crab fried "empanadas" and a sauvignon blanc
I buy lunch every day because I have really good options right near work. Today was a tempeh/avocado sandwich on fresh-baked multigrain bread with miso & pesto & baby greens & bruschetta mix. It's all vegan & it's a good hearty meal to keep me full almost all day.
I made that beet slaw a couple days ago, and had it for lunch yesterday, along with a small hummus and oven-dried tomato sandwich. Yum! Today I had the same hummus and tomato sandwich, with an apple for dessert.
As a student cooking for myself (in London--not cheap!), I've become very, very good as saving and using up leftovers. If I know I won't be able to finish something within a couple days, I'll freeze it in individual portions for future nights when I don't have time or am too lazy to cook...just like tonight, when I came home late and hungry. Defrosting some homemade cauliflower and chickpea curry, along with some frozen naan, was the perfect dinner!
I love reading everyone's posts. As for me, leftover ratatouille from last nights dinner and a pear. But I think I want theguaz' lunch. Most days its leftovers from the night before or earlier in the week. Yesterday was a butternut squash bisque that I had made Sunday night.
here's a recipe for the indian lentils. If you buy a packet of the cooked(but unspiced ) french lentils from Trader Joes, it really cuts down on the cooking time. And it's a really forgiving recipe, so go ahead and modify it:
i'm having leftover stuffed acorn squash from last night... http://www.flickr.com/photos/thelulubird/2959243843/
Today I organized an office Pumpkin Carving contest. We enjoyed catered Lasagna with a nice green salad and fresh buns. It was awesome. We carved 6 pumpkins and gave away prizes for the 'best' pumpkins. We laughed the whole time. What a great way to spend the lunch hour.
Leftover sushi! Perhaps tomorrow I'll finally eat the pita sandwich stuffed with roasted chicken I brought on Monday.
I had a Chipotle burrito bol but tomorrow I will have leftover pasta puttanesca.

Nicky's co-owner Teresa Dang learned the tricks of the banh mi trade at An Dong, her father's excellent Sunset Park sandwich shop. Here, she faithfully reproduces his classic: paté, ham, ground pork, pickled carrot, cucumbers, cilantro, jalapeno, and gobs of mayo on a baguette. Thanks to some unsolicited focus-group input from concerned passersby, a vegetarian portobello banh mi has made its way onto the menu, too.

He played in 24 games with the N-B-A's Golden State Warriors in his rookie season, and scored 25 in the Warriors' regular season finale that year.

I have always wanted to do a forest style shoot, memories of my childhood, mixed with the fantasy worlds I read about. I wanted to show girls being more than the princess styled fairies, which I do love but show them being the gentle, sweet, nurtured and natural but with strength and protecting the forest they love.
In less than two months I had the pleasure of meeting a friend of a friend, who arrived fresh from Wales with two daughters, identical twins with such a similar look to my older twins , I audibly gasped - I think my first words were .. "Can I photograph your daughters?"
Two sets of Identical twins that look alike `equals photo shoot heaven, wouldn't you say?
When I spoke to the amazingly talented Casey from Casey Jane Photography about my idea and was so blessed and excited to work with this amazing young photographer, whose eye for detail, energy and commitment were so inspiring. We set a date and went full steam ahead.
The experienced eye of Shantelle (Shantelle Hall Hair and Make Up) captured the natural look with a sense of drama. I can tell she knows her stuff!
Designing and sewing costumes for this shoot was wonderful with all the typical will this fit/work feel and look right dilema's us creatives have, but I am so pleased how they came up.
I have to say making the bow and arrows was by far the most frustrating and rewarding prop ever made by DMV!
Huge shout out to our shoot assistant Peyton, who had pulled out all the stops, she climbed trees to hold lights/flashes in all the right places, flicked leeches of us, and could find any light with her reflector in a forest was amazing.
The Twins.
Thank you girls, your work ethic, your "never mind the leeches" attitude, your ability to take direction, made you four the best four models I could have found. ~ Isabella

Recipe: Winter Wheat Berry Salad with Figs & Red Onion
Recipes from The Kitchn
Last week a reader asked if we had any good recipes for winter salads with wheat berries. So when I tasted this fresh and sweet, tangy and crispy wheat berry salad from a local chef, I had to ask for the recipe! This is a perfect salad for winter lunches, office potlucks, and holiday parties.
I went to a class at my local market (the North Market here in Columbus, Ohio) taught by a local chef, Johnny Dornback of Basi Italia. Johnny's restaurant is a jewelbox of a space, tiny and cozy, tucked away off a side street in a historic neighborhood. His food is primarily Italian-inspired, but with a modern and Mediterranean flair. He served this salad at the class and I just had to make it at home.
Wheat berries are an excellent base for a winter salad. They are wheat grains with the husk removed but the rest of the berry left intact. They are quite firm, and they take quite a bit of cooking to become soft enough to eat. But this cooking time is flexible. I personally like the wheat berries quite chewy for a salad like this, but you can cook them until they are soft and falling apart if you like. Or you can cook them even less and have truly al dente wheat berries.
The original recipe for this salad simply specified dried fruit, but I like it with an even mix of chopped figs and golden raisins. You could substitute dates, dark raisins, apricots, or any other sweet dried fruit. The mix all works so well; in every bite you get chewy wheat berries, crisp celery and onion, rich figs and raisins, and crunchy almonds. There's the zing of lemon zest and vinegar all throughout, too — it's fruity, satisfying, and savory all at the same time.
Johnny served a small spoonful of the salad in a single cupped leaf of Belgian endive, which was a really lovely presentation; it shows off the brilliant colors of the fruit and the onion.

Winter Wheat Berry Salad with Figs & Red OnionAdapted from Johnny Dornback of Basi Italia. Serves 8
1 1/2 cups wheat berries
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey*
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried figs, chopped finely
1/2 medium red onion (about 1/3 pound)
3 large stalks celery
1/4 cup good-quality olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest, from 2 lemons
1 cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
Handful fresh parsley or mint, finely chopped
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Put the wheat berries in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn the heat down to low and partially cover the pot. Cook for 45 minutes, or until the wheat berries are soft yet still chewy.
While the wheat berries are cooking, whisk the rice vinegar, orange juice, and honey together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and add the raisins and chopped figs. Turn off the heat and let the fruit steep in the juice and vinegar mixture.
Finely dice the red onion; you will end up with between 1 and 1 1/2 cups. Finely dice the celery as well; you will have between 1 1/2 and 2 cups. Mix them in a large bowl.
When the wheat berries are tender enough to be chewed easily, drain them, then pour them into the large bowl with the red onion and celery. Toss with the olive oil and lemon zest. Add the vinegar and juice mixture, and all the fruit, and mix. Toss with the almonds, chopped parsley or mint, and with the salt. Add pepper to taste.
Let the salad stand at room temperature for at least one hour before serving, to allow the flavors mix and soak into the grain. Serve warm or at room temperature.
The salad can also be refrigerated for up to three days.
* For a vegan salad, omit the honey and substitute 2 tablespoons of agave syrup.

This looks amazing!
Does anyone think this recipe would still be good made a day or two ahead? I'm trying to gather side dishes that I can make ahead of time for Christmas and this sounds great!
CPCE: I've made quite a few salads with heavier grains, and I actually think they taste better after sitting for awhile! You'll get enough crunch after a day or two with the nuts and the red onion. I'd probably reserve a third or so of the dressing to put on just before serving to make sure the citrus and herbs are fresh tasting.
Hmmm... I will try this for sure! I second KKeenCA, this must be even better after sitting for a while.
@Faith: Thank you again and again for caring for vegans out there.
I made this last night, sooooo good!
I love the combination of flavors. Can you get wheat berries at Whole Foods or a place like that?
@SunshineandDesign yep! Or at any place that has bulk grains, like a co-op.
Wow, this looks delicious.
This salad looks delicious and also tastes delicious!
Yesterday i made it for a christmas dinner with friends and it was approved by everyone.
Thanks Faith! :)
I love this salad!
Tastes even better if you make it a night ahead.
I just finished making this a few minutes ago, and I'm excited to hear that it gets even better with age because I already love it!
i just made this, and it is incredible. my new favorite grain salad. wow
This is delicious! Next time will add avocado just before eating too, there are lots of extras you could add to this, though you don't need to as its good as is.
What gluten free grain would work in this? Quinoa?? Any suggestions?
This looks spectacular but I'm allergic to onions. Any suggestions for replacements to keep the crunch/flavor factor? Maybe a very tart apple?
I made this last night for lunch today. So good!! I think it taste better room temperature/slightly warm.
I made several exceptions:
white vinegar (no rice vin.)
pure orange/mango juice (no plain oj)
organic maple syrup (no honey)
dried cranberries (no raisins)
Im particularly glad I didnt use raisins because I think it would have been to sweet. Plus I like then cranberry kick. This was my first time cooking with wheatberries, but it wont be my last. I particularly appreciate that you dont have to boil them which depletes their nutrional value.
This is a fabulous basic recipe - you can substitute/change/add anything you like. The basic wheat berries are a great starting point. I've made it with zuchini instead of celery, carrots, almonds, etc. So good.
I have Israeli Couscous on hand - do you think it would stand up to this recipe instead of the wheat berries?
This recipe looks amazing and I am going to prepare it this weekend for a large party (although it is July!). Can't wait to try it.
Made this for my sister-in-law's birthday dinner and it was such a hit! The flavours are delicious and the colours are great. It's a recipe I share on a regular basis.
What are the nutrition facts for this dish? Sounds simply amazing but counting calories and portion control.
I just made this with buckwheat groats (kasha) for a friend who is gluten-free. It came out delicious. Might be interesting with wild rice too--any grain with a bit of a bite to it. That said, next time I really want to try the wheat berries!

These plump, moist, chewy mounds of yummiliciousness bear no resemblance to their canned counterparts. Bite into the crunchy coconut to reveal a luscious, creamy center. I can't resist the dark chocolate dipped macs! Amazing....and, addictive. That's a good thing.
Don't Forget Dad!!
Have you given Dad a tie for the past fifteen Father's Days? This year, why not make a change. Give him a box of our edible Baseball Jerseys, personnally monogrammed DAD.

Phsar Chas (Old Market)
The quickest way to be immersed in Cambodian life is to dive into a market that is not aimed at tourists. Before you take the plunge, though, ask if you are ready for a taste of unadulturated daily activity, with the sights, sounds and smells of a traditional market. Phnom Penh's Phsar Chas (Old Market) is … read the full post
